Chapter 66: The Birth of a City!

Shi Jin called on Confucianism to forge ahead and be active, and compared Buddhism, and the leaders of several sects of Buddhism heard it and immediately scolded Shi Jin for this scourge.

We all know that you want to curry favor with Confucianism and get the support of Confucianism, and we have no objection to this.

But Buddhism has an enmity with you!

He always went against our Buddhism again and again, and some time ago he sent people to make a big fuss in the south of the Yangtze River and robbed many temples of our Buddhism.

The monks of these temples were miserable, and their faces were blue with hunger. In order to eat three meals a day, now they hoe the fields all day long to grow vegetables, where is there still time to chant sutras and chant Buddha, there are many people who are not firm in their minds and can't stand it and return to the world.

Not to mention the scourge of our temple, now it's trying to cut off our way!

You must know that Confucianism is orthodox in China, with a high status, and is the most important and the largest force. If they think that Buddhism is a great threat to them, those sour Confucians will not go to death to rectify Buddhism.

In the "Three Martial Arts and One Sect to Exterminate the Buddha", without the Confucian gang of people going forward and following each other, how could it be so big.

In addition to Confucianism, how could the sworn rival Taoist bull nose let go of this great opportunity, and it was not impossible to even end up in person.

When the imperial court destroyed Buddhism, in order to allow Buddhism to survive, Buddhism cost a lot.

Of the eight sects of Buddhism, except for one of the Zen sects, the other seven sects are all seriously damaged, otherwise it would not be the turn of Zen Buddhism to emerge now.

Under the bloody lesson of "three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha", a group of bald donkeys of Buddhism finally understood that in China, they could not be as lofty and exclusive as the Tubo and Dali gangs.

In order to gain a chance to survive in China, Buddhism recognized the supremacy of imperial power and the orthodox status of Confucianism.

Master Dao'an, a famous monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said: "If you don't follow the lord of the country, it is difficult to establish the law";

Zen Master Zongyi of the Song Dynasty made a review for this: "Born with three martial arts and disasters in my sect, Shizi went home to the tower and the temple was empty, it should be the worship of the day in the past, and it could not be cleared to guard the true wind." ”

Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master formulated a set of "Baizhang Qing Rules". In addition to the monks observing the precepts, they also advocate the concept of "not doing a day, not eating a day".

All of them are adapted to cater to the supremacy of imperial power and the orthodox status of Confucianism.

Finally, it was stocked up from the blow and began to develop slowly.

Now, Shi Jin has openly contempted us to say that our Buddhism will suppress Confucianism in the future.

If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will usher in the catastrophe of Buddhism again.

As the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, the largest temple in the Great Song Dynasty, Zen Master Zhiqing sent out invitations and invited the hosts of various temples to come to discuss.

Elder Zhizhen of Wutai Mountain, Dahui Zen Master of Liuhe Temple, and Shi Miao Zen Master of Lingyin Temple......

In the Daxiong Hall of Daxiangguo Temple, many Zen masters explained some Buddhism. Under the respectful send-off of many monks and believers, these presiding elders walked solemnly to the room of the presiding Zen master Zhiqing.

Waiting for the tea to come up, the little monk stepped back.

Zen Master Zhiqing's originally kind and harmonious face disappeared, and he said, "Senior brothers, although there are contradictions among us because of our different views on the Dharma, and many sects have been divided, we are still one in essence. In the face of difficulties, we should unite and deal with them! ”

Elder Zhizhen hurriedly opened his mouth to support: "What my junior brother said makes sense, we Buddhism has always advised people to be kind, and there is no quarrel with the world, and even an ant is reluctant to step on it to death. Now in that evil drunken mouth, it is our Buddhism that wants to harbor evil intentions, oppress Confucianism, and vainly try to seize the orthodox status of Confucianism. If we let that thief continue to spread rumors, we Buddhism will face another catastrophe! ”

Zen Master Shi Miao shouted with a murderous face: "If this thief is not eliminated, our Buddhism will not be at peace for a day!" ”

Zen Master Dahui asked, "How should we deal with him?" He has already been recruited by the imperial court, and if he does it rashly, he is afraid that he will attract criticism, and it will be easier to attract the attention of the Confucian guys! ”

Elder Zhizhen closed his eyes and recited a mantra, and in less than a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "This person is the reincarnation of a demon, and we must warn the world, lest the world be confused by this demon and harm the common people. ”

Zen Master Shi Miao and Zen Master Dahui reacted quickly when they heard it, nodded and said: "Indeed, looking at Shi Jin's excessive greed, he is a demon king who does all kinds of evil. We must tell the world to expose him for what he really is! ”

Zen Master Zhiqing nodded with a smile.

When Buddhism was planning to deal with Shi Jin, many businessmen came to Jinzhou in the past few days.

Businessmen are naturally chasing high profits!

In fact, many merchants knew that the goats of the Liao State were cheap, but the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, although sometimes eased, was tense most of the time.

Especially from the beginning of Song Shenzong, when the Great Song Dynasty was strong in its offensive against the Western Xia, the Great Liao hoarded heavy troops on the Song-Liao border in order to aid the Western Xia. Since then, the relationship between Song and Liao has been tense.

So even if they knew that the goats in Liao were cheap, they couldn't buy them through normal channels and sell them in the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, the relationship between Song and Liao has always been poor, but the smuggling between the two countries has never been broken.

Tea, silk, etc., as long as they can be sent to Daliao, it is several times the profit, and sheep and horses can be sent to Da Song, which is also profitable.

It's just that the bulk trade of these items is controlled by a few big businessmen with their hands and eyes.

If small and medium-sized businesses smuggle, not to mention the small amount, they will also be exploited by various forces, and in the end the profits will not be large.

After more than 30 Fuchun Lou in Shandong for three days of mutton discounts, now businessmen in Shandong, Hebei and other places know that Shi Jin, the general of Liao, has conquered Jinzhou, opening a gap in the closed Liao State.

Moreover, I heard that the soldiers under General Poliao had strict military discipline and never dared to disturb the people, let alone rob them.

These businessmen thought of the goat's profits, and decided to come to Golden State to see if they could find a way to make money and make a lot of money.

Hundreds of merchants and peddlers have recently traveled to the Golden State in a fleet built by Fei Bao of the Red Whisker Dragon.

After enduring seasickness and dangling on the ship for four days, they finally set foot on the port of Dalian.

Now Dalian is a big construction site, dusty all day long.

The environment is not good, and these businessmen can still bear it. They're here to make money, not to enjoy.

But soon they find out that they have been cheated!

When I came to the Livestock Exchange, I saw a large piece of paper posted on the wall.

These businessmen and hawkers were dumbfounded, a businessman is still not giving up, the price given by the government is often for show, and it is also a superficial article if you don't see the Qingmiao Law?

He saw a herdsman who was driving his sheep to the livestock exchange, and hurriedly asked the guide to come forward and ask.

When the herdsman heard this, he immediately looked at the merchant in front of him with disdain.

"You're talking about last year's price, since General Poliao came this year, he's not like you black-hearted businessmen, he's a kind person. Now the mutton here in Jinzhou is 62 yuan a catty, and it will not be sold without this price! As for the price you said, I'm afraid you have to go to the mainland of Liaoning! ”

Hearing the answers of these herdsmen, the merchant was messy in the wind, and said that the good mutton was twenty or thirty catties per catty?

Although 62 yuan per catty, you can still make money, but after deducting taxes, freight and other expenses, you don't make as much money as you imagined.

There is a serious deviation between reality and ideals!

In order not to let their trip go in vain, even if the profit is not high, they still buy a batch of goats and ship them back to Shandong. But they never came to the Golden State since.

Some people didn't have a goat, so they took a boat back to Shandong that day.

After they went back, they scolded the guy who advertised the cheap mutton in Jinzhou, scolded Fuchun Building, and scolded Shi Jin. They feel that they have been deceived and that the world is too dark. Complaining about the injustice of heaven and earth all day long, people's hearts are not ancient!

Some people feel that although the profit is not high, there is still a profit. Although they complained, they decided to do this sheep trade for a long time.

In order to make high profits, some people gritted their teeth and plunged into the mainland of Liao. Some of these people made a lot of money, while others were robbed and fled back to Golden State empty-handed. Some people were killed!

Some people found that the Song Dynasty tea and other goods were also very profitable here, and they bought goats from Jinzhou and sold them in the Great Song Dynasty. Then buy tea from the Great Song Dynasty and sell it here.

Some people found that the location of Dalian was excellent, better than Hangzhou, not far from Goryeo and Fusang, so they decided not to sell sheep, and bought porcelain, lacquerware, ironware, tea, sugar, etc. in the Great Song Dynasty, and sold them in these two countries, and then bought famous products from these two countries back to the Great Song Dynasty. Selling at both ends, they soon accumulated good rewards. When there is more capital, they will not be satisfied with petty fights. He established a trading house in Golden State, bought his own sea vessels, formed caravans, and bought and sold back and forth.

If there is a gain, there must be a loss!

It was robbed, the shipwreck, all the investments were lost, the goats were not taken care of well, and a large number of people died, etc., so that some merchants and hawkers went bankrupt, and they were penniless, so they could only work as men and coolies in the Golden State, to support themselves and pay off their debts.

No matter what the final outcome of the businessmen was, their arrival stimulated the development of Dalian's economy.

Herdsmen drive cattle and sheep here to sell them, and then buy daily necessities and go back.

Merchants and hawkers of the Great Song Dynasty brought goods from the Great Song Dynasty to sell here, and then returned with cattle and sheep. Or a transit station, transfer to Goryeo and Fuso.

With the establishment of these supporting services, the proprietor and the shopkeeper either recruited locals from Jinzhou, or tried their best to recruit people from the Great Song Dynasty.

A city thrived in trade!
