Chapter 1031 Difficult to Refuse Request (Part I)

What is most lacking in any era? Talent.

Zhao Xing is indeed short of people now, so he does not hesitate to absorb a large number of forces from the Jiangxia Cheng clan. However, everything pays attention to a "check and balance", and the excessive expansion of the power of the Cheng clan must lead to a competition mechanism.

Chen Ji often wanted to see Zhao Xing's martial arts, obviously he had a plan, but it was also in Zhao Xing's arms, and he immediately responded: "Great!" I'm planning to go to Hangzhou, Huangzhou can't help but take care of it, Uncle Mengde is here, Huangzhou will be handed over to you, Uncle Ji Chang's son-in-law I will take to Hangzhou......"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it either", Ma Mengde refused with a smile: "If the bachelor recovers, I plan to take up the post with the bachelor, so you better find another person." ”

"It's okay, I still have to stay at home for two months, these two months, Uncle Mengde helps me teach the children, and when Uncle Mengde leaves, I will hand over Huangzhou Liquor to Pan Daguan, the brother of Junfu (Pan Dalin...... Junfu can't count on it, this guy is not thinking about running the family business. ”

Pan Dalin's mistake was that no one was available at hand, it is said that he was a hotel owner with a famous wine brand in his hand, but in the end he was so miserable, it really shouldn't be. If he had the manpower available, he would have handed over the hotel to someone else to take care of, and he would be free to enjoy the star-chasing career in the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he took the opposite path.

Zhao Xing did not completely keep his "clan fang" concept secret, he has the concept of "manager" beyond this era, in line with the idea of making professionals responsible for professional things, he will never let go of the search for talents, such as Chen Yu's son, although he is not good, but he is definitely a qualified professional thug - where is his father's genes, where can this guy be?

As for Ma Mengde, he couldn't let him be idle, after some "persuasion" by Zhao Xing, Ma Mengde's family finally moved into Zhao Xing's yard, and "by the way" helped Zhao Xing educate the Cheng children, and Chen Wei didn't dare to stay too much because of the armor protection turmoil, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went back to arrange for his son to go on the road.

In the days that followed, Zhao Xing was busy arranging the clan's industry, Su Shi quietly prepared for the recovery, Ma Mengde was entangled by a group of children, the most troublesome thing was the monk Buddha seal, he also had an extra place to go since then, from time to time to come to talk with Ma Mengde, by the way to solicit some sponsorship.

"The Buddha said: Planting is the cause, reaping is the effect, and all idealism creates ......" The monk Buddha Yin explained the Dharma to Zhao Xing.

"Wait", Zhao Xing covered his forehead with a headache. God, it's been a few times, and I haven't let people live.

"Wait, I know you're here to ask for money...... By the way, you say that this is called charity, that is, I give up my property to you, and to tell you the truth, I don't believe in your Buddha, because he is a 'god' for a fee...... Don't you understand? Zhao Xing rolled his eyes and said in pain: "Don't persuade me, I'm quite stubborn."

Let's put it this way, when you monks chant sutras for me, not for my wallet, but sincerely hope that I will be happy, then what if I believe in your Buddha? ”

Zhao Xing spoke very rudely, if others said this, Buddha Yin would inevitably start to use intimidation and swearing tactics, for example: he would intimidate the other party and say that God would punish him, etc., or directly start to abuse. But in the face of Zhao Xing and them, he didn't dare to do so, because he had secretly read Su Dongpo's "Thorn Cow", which described Zhao Xing slaughtering a cow cleanly.

He knew that Zhao Xing was not a pure literati, such a person would not scold others, maybe he would prefer to use his fists to solve the abuse.

Buddha Yin was pondering how to phrase it, Zhao Xing jumped his words, and instead of asking him about the Buddha's rituals, he asked about the Buddha's administrative level: "I heard that there are more than 30,000 Buddhas in this world. I heard that someone once divided these Buddhas into administrative levels, that is, if I offended the Buddhas at the county level, it would be fine, as long as I bought the Buddhas at the prefecture level.

Of course, if I don't want to pay more, then I can buy off another Buddha at the county level and let those two Buddhas fight, is there such a thing? ”

This makes it difficult for the Buddha to answer, dividing the Buddha into administrative levels, this thing has indeed happened, it was done by the "high monks" in the five dynasties, but paying for the two Buddhas to fight, only Zhao Xing can think of this - of course, the people did this, but they never dared to think so obscenely.

Zhao Xing talked about the "Five Generations", suddenly paused, and he said slowly in a reminiscent tone: "By the way, the master is a Buddhist disciple, have you heard of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang?" ”

When it comes to this famous Tibetan scripture cave in the Buddhist world, Buddha Yin can't help but perk up, and replied leisurely: "I've heard of it, I heard that the big food **** is going deep into the Western Regions recently, and this Western Domain Cave is gradually disappearing, but I study the holy cave that is famous all over the world......"

Zhao Xing continued to ask with a look of reminiscence: "I heard that there is a mural painted in that Mogao Grottoes, and the mural is an unknown Buddha holding a fire-breathing weapon in his hand?" ”

Buddha Yin is worthy of being an excellent "public relations manager" in the Buddha world, he immediately added: "There is this Buddha, the donor is really **** - this Buddha is called 'Demon Suppression', this picture is painted in the Five Dynasties, and the image painted in the Buddha cave is one of the 'Eighteen Changes of Demon Suppression', and the fire-breathing weapon is called 'Demon Suppression'." It's a brass pipe, so long, so thick......"

Buddha Yin measured the size of the copper pipe with his hand - this is the "Demon Transformation", the world's first musket. In modern archaeological excavations, people excavated the "Demon Transformation" entity from the tomb of Dangxiang, which is a stout copper fire gun, 35.3 cm long, 10.5 cm in diameter, 7.7 cm in diameter at the bottom of the tail, weighing 6.94 kg, and using fire to launch an iron projectile with a diameter of 0.9 cm.

It was used in the Song-Xia War in 1084 – the first time in human history that muskets were used in warfare.

However, the "Demon Transformation" is not a "standard weapon" for soldiers, it is an individual case, a special personal item of a Western Xia officer...... However, its birth represents the maturity of the technology of copper musket making, and the difference is only to pierce a layer of window paper.

"Copper ......?" Zhao Xing said thoughtfully: "That's it, I know about your Buddhism, you must have contact with the monks in the Western Regions, don't give me sloppy, since I told you this, I must be sure."

Didn't you come to ask for donations? In this way, you can help me go to the Western Regions to find a few craftsmen who can make 'demon subjugation' - the things of Buddhism, your Buddhist family must have a connection with these craftsmen. Let me make a price, you call three craftsmen, I will donate three million, if these three craftsmen are skilled, I will donate another five million.

In this place in Huangzhou, 8 million is enough for you to build a building and a pagoda, how about it? Would you like to give it a try? You can tell the three craftsmen that as soon as they arrive in Huangzhou, I will give them 100 acres of land and 100 yuan for settling in in each of them. Create a 'demon subjugation', and I'll give each of them another hundred times. Of course, they can't make it, they don't have any money, and you don't have that reward. ”

ps: It's been strongly pushed, and I'm going to hit the list, readers, please help cast a few more votes, thank you!
