Chapter 29 Sit on the ground and start the price, and pay back on the ground
"Xia Xianzun is afraid that he can't wait to teach, Xie Yuan, don't go around." Liu Changting glanced at Xie Huagai and motioned for Xie Huagai to hurry up. He believes that with Xia Xiang's experience and involvement, he will definitely not know much about Buddhist scriptures, and he is far inferior to Xie Huagai, who believes in Buddhism.
Xie Huagai smiled: "In this way, Xie will be ugly." Xia Xianzun and Xie Mou have always believed that Confucianism entered the WTO, Taoism was born, Buddhism was also born, and the same was born, what is the difference between Buddhism and Taoism? ”
Xia Xiang was stunned, the question asked by Xie Huagai has been debated for thousands of years, and there has never been a conclusion that convinces everyone. Confucianism has always advocated the way of actively joining the WTO for the country and the people, and opposed the Taoist talk of mysteries and Buddhism's monastic monks. It's just that Taoism pursues birth, immortality, and feathering and ascending to immortals, so they disdain to argue with Confucian scholars about the way to serve the country and the people. And Buddhism is even more indisputable with the world, winning without fighting, and not debating with Confucianism.
However, Xie Huagai asked about the difference between Taoism and Buddhism, Xia Xiang has been influenced by Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, because his mother believed in Buddhism, and then Li Dingshan brought a lot of Taoist books, and after knowing Cao Shujun, he listened to him talk a lot of Taoist principles, this question is really difficult for him: "Confucianism seeks a gentleman, Taoism seeks leisure, and Buddhism seeks freedom." Confucianism abandons villains, Taoism abandons artificiality, and Buddhism abandons troubles. Confucianism talks about entering the WTO, Taoism talks about birth, and Buddhism also talks about birth, but the birth of Buddhism is very different from the birth of Taoism. ”
Xie Huagai's face changed in shock, Xia Xiang explained the essence of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism clearly in a few words, and he had read Buddhist scriptures for more than ten years, and he did not have such a profound understanding.
Liu Changting was also surprised, he didn't expect Xia Xiang to be so young but have such a cognition, which was really shocking.
Xie Huagai refused to admit defeat, and asked: "Then Xie Mou will ask Xia Xianzun again, which one does Xia Xianzun admire more?" ”
Xia Xiangcai will not be fooled, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, three legs, indispensable, too much respect for which one, will lose the balance it should have, and from the Tang Dynasty to the Great Xia, the same atmosphere is that literati have a Buddhist or Taoist friend, if not, it is not enough knowledge.
During the Tang Dynasty, ordination was an extremely strict and difficult task that had to go through many assessments, and many people wanted to become monks, but they often failed the assessment. At that time, the ordination exam was a few points more difficult than the jinshi exam, so the monks at that time were all masters, and their knowledge alone was enough to be proud of the world.
Although Great Xia is not as difficult as the assessment of ordained monks in the Tang Dynasty, it also has a very elaborate set of examination procedures, which is no less than the imperial examination.
Xia Xiang sat on the main seat and said lightly: "Confucianism is manifested in etiquette, Taoism is manifested in truth, Buddhism is manifested in precepts, at home pay attention to etiquette, and outside pay attention to sincerity, and be an official to be careful with precepts." In the official's view, Confucianism is the expression of the Tao and the bone Buddha is the heart, all of which are indispensable, just like the spirit of people. ”
Xia Xiang's answer was not leaky, Xie Huagai secretly admired, nodded and said: "I have been taught, the truth taught by Xia Xianzun has benefited Xie a lot." Xie has one last question, Xia Xianzun, what is the reason why Buddhism talks about good practice in the public door? ”
"As an official, on behalf of the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, a government decree can make all the people have food and clothing, or it can make all the people miserable, only in the heart. If you are truly concerned about the people, all the people will be happy wherever the decree goes. If it is for one's own selfishness, it is a great mistake to take the opportunity to enrich one's own pockets and die regardless of the livelihood of all people. ”
Xie Huagai smiled on his face, but his words were with a gun and a stick: "Then Xie dares to ask Xia Xianzun, where the new law goes, is it the happiness of the people or the people's lack of livelihood?" ”
Falling on the new law again, Xia Xiang thought that Liu Xie and the others were really not good, the two of them relied on Cui Fuzun's support and took over the granary and grain business, what they thought was not to share the worries of the government and relieve the people's worries, I am afraid that they wanted to make a lot of money, his face was slightly cold, and he said indifferently: "The original intention of the new law is naturally for the sake of the people, but when the local government implements it, there are many cats, there are bad businessmen who want to make huge profits from it, and some officials take the opportunity to exploit the people and fill their pockets." After layers of exploitation, the new law, which was originally intended to benefit the people, has become a bad law that harms the people. ”
Xie Huagai's face changed greatly, and he heard the meaning of Xia Xiang's words, and wanted to say something, Liu Changting quietly pulled his sleeve and pulled him aside, Liu Changting took a step forward and said: "Xia Xianzun, Liu and Xie Yuan have one more important thing to do today, in addition to visiting Xia Xianzun today......
"Take over the granary and grain business outside Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuanwai?" Xia Xiang regained his indifferent expression and smiled slightly, "The official has already sent someone to handle the delivery, but Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuanwai are not willing to hand over the existing granary and grow grain, so they have to ask the two of you to start a new stove." ”
"Why?" Liu Changting originally thought that since Xia Xiang personally agreed to Cui Fuzun, things would be very easy to handle, he and Xie Huagai came over, one was to test Xia Xiang's details, and the other was to directly take over the granary and grain business, not wanting to test the details, but was hit by Xia Xiang's backhand, almost unable to parry, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
What Liu Changting didn't expect was that the granary and grain business that he thought could be easily obtained, but it was extraneous, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan actually kept the original granary and grain planting, and did not change hands directly, didn't it mean that he wanted to rebuild the granary and buy grain again, and he had to invest a lot of money? He originally wanted to use the name of Cui Fuzun, coupled with the aggressive momentum of him and Xie Huagai, to make Xia Xiang afraid of the might of the two of them, so that Xia Xiang could put pressure on Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, and make Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan back down and transfer the granary and the remaining grain to him and Xie Huagai at a very low price.
Xie Huagai was also anxious: "Xia Xianzun can't go back on his word?" obviously agreed to Cui Fuzun, why did he regret it again? ”
"Where did the official regret it?" Xia Xiang flicked his sleeves and looked displeased, "The official promised Cui Fuzun that the two of you would take over the granary and grain business, but he didn't promise Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan to let them transfer the granary and grain in their hands, not to mention that the official has no right to order them." ”
"Xia Xianzun, can you invite Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuanwai, Liu wants to make it clear to him face to face." Liu Changting did not give up, he thought that if Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan were here, he would be sure to persuade the two.
"Liu Yuanwai wants to see Xu like this?" As soon as Liu Changting's voice fell, a deep voice sounded outside the door, followed by a hearty laugh, "It's very easy to see Xu, where do you still use Labor Xia County Zun to invite, you look back ......"
Liu Changting and Xie Huagai turned around at the same time - there were several people outside the door, one person at present, with bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to taking effect, and she was a stunning little lady. The two in the back, one is tall and strong, and the other is thin and dark, with a medium build.
It is Lian Ruohan, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan. Xu Heguang was not among them, and after he completed the delivery procedures, he went directly to the government office. Many people in the county government said that Xu Heguang was the county governor of Zhending County, but in fact, he was the magistrate of Zhending Mansion.
"Your Excellency is Xu Yuanwai?" Xie Huagai looked Xu Wangshan up and down a few times, his eyes swept over Lian Ruohan, although he was amazed by Lian Ruohan's beauty, he didn't know who she was, so his mind was on Xu Wangshan, "Under Xie Huagai......"
Xu Wangshan laughed and waved his hand: "Don't pretend not to know Xu outside Xie Yuan, at Cui Fuzun's banquet, you and I have had a relationship." ”
To tell the truth, Xie Huagai had a relationship with Xu Wangshan last time, and he also remembered Xu Wangshan's appearance, after all, Xu Wangshan is really one of the richest businessmen, but he pretended not to know Xu Wangshan, and he intended to be superior.
"Really? At that time, there were many people with mixed eyes, and I forgave a certain clumsy eye, and I had a bad memory, so I couldn't remember. Xie Huagai saluted Xu Wangshan, "Xie Huagai has seen Xu Yuanwai." ”
Subsequently, he greeted Ma Qingyuan again. Ma Qingyuan didn't say much, just a pair of eyes stayed on him and Liu Changting for a few more moments, and smiled meaningfully.
Liu Changting then greeted Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, and finally greeted Lian Ruohan.
"Who is this?" Liu Changting saluted Lian Ruohan casually, "Isn't it Xia Xianzun's family?" ”
Xia Xiang smiled: "This is Lian Xiaoniang, if she is the family of the official, it is okay, the official treats her like a sister." ”
This remark has a deep meaning, Liu Changting couldn't help but jump his eyelids a few times, his mind moved, even if it was Xia Xiang's own sister, what could he do? Which of the women he fell in love with Liu Changting didn't obey in the end?
When Liu Changting saw Lian Ruohan for the first time, his eyes lit up, and he was impressed by Lian Ruohan's beautiful demeanor and indifferent expression. Although there are groups of wives and concubines in his family, compared with Lian Ruohan, the warblers and swallows in the family are just roadside flowers and plants, far less noble than Lian Ruohan, as noble as the bright moon and as clear as a mountain spring.
If you can sleep with such a woman, it will not be in vain, Liu Changting's heart is itching, if it weren't for Xia Xiang's presence, he might have laughed at Lian Ruohan in the morning.
But...... Since Xia Xiang said that Lian Ruohan is his sister, it is better to be careful, and now the granary and grain business are big, after negotiating this matter, it is not too late to find an opportunity to take Lian Ruohan. Although Liu Changting knows that the good times are always there, and he can guess that there must be a background behind the good times, but he is rich and rivals the country, and secondly, there are mountains behind him, just a woman, whether it is money or strength, after he gets it, who can take him?
Even Ruohan was a person, she had already noticed Liu Changting's squinting eyes, she had seen all kinds of high-ranking officials and magnates with ill intentions towards her, Liu Changting was the lowest and most humble one among them, because she didn't take him to heart at all.
A few people sat down, and Xia Xiang directly pointed to the topic: "Since Liu Yuanwai, Xie Yuanwai, Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuanwai are all here, it is better to make it clear in person about the granary and grain planting." ”
Xie Huagai couldn't hold back his incomprehension and dissatisfaction: "Xu Yuanwai, you and Ma Yuanwai's granary and grain planting business are transferred to Xie and Liu Yuanwai at a discount, you can get a sum of silver, and Xie doesn't have to bother to build a granary to buy grain, the best of both worlds, why not?" ”
Xu Wangshan snorted, I don't know where to take out a pair of walnuts, turned around in his hand, but his eyes fell on Xie Huagai's Buddha beads: "Xie Yuanwai believes in Buddhism?" ”
Xie Huagai raised the Buddha beads in his hand: "If you have nothing to do, you can feel at ease by chanting the Buddha and eating a vegetarian diet." Xu Yuanwai's walnuts are also good, and he usually likes to play with literature? ”
"Xu is a big boss, but he is just a vassal and elegant, haha." As soon as Xu Wangshan finished speaking, he suddenly shook the walnut in his hand hard, and with a click, the walnut cracked in response, he picked up the walnut kernel and threw it into his mouth, and said while eating, "Although Xu has not read any books and does not understand too many big truths, he admits that his own things, whether good or bad, must be left in his own hands to be willing." Walnuts are, granaries and growing grains too. ”
Xie Huagai was almost not laughed at by Xu Wangshan's actions, it was a tyrannical thing, although the walnuts in Xu Wangshan's hands were not a treasure, but they were also very valuable, and they were eaten by him, which was really vulgar. The key is that walnuts are not delicious!
Liu Changting retracted his gaze that was rolling on Lian Ruohan, and sneered: "Xu Yuanwai wants to offer as much as he wants, you can say it clearly, there is no need to go around." ”
"That's it, that's it, Ma Mou persuaded Xu Yuanwai earlier, it's almost enough, Xie Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai are not outsiders, sincerely take over the granary and grain business, but also for Xia County, your three granaries and all my grain, sold at a discount of 500,000 yuan and Xie Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai, I two don't have to worry about him, Xia Xianzun is happy, and they are all happy." Ma Qingyuan took over the conversation, he was similar to Liu Changting fat and thin, but he was a little shorter than Liu Changting, a little more honest and a little less elegant, but more simple, but the tone of his speech and sitting posture were clear and a little simple and cunning, "Xu Yuanwai didn't want to stay by himself, saying that he would leave the granary and grow grain for the purpose of the famine year, even if it was just one thought, anyway, he was not short of money to spend." He also said that if Xie Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai were really sincere, even if 400,000 yuan was transferred, he would also be willing to be an adult. ”
Liu Changting's lungs are about to be blown up, Ma Qingyuan's words sound very kind, and he seems to be still thinking about them, but in fact, it is a lion who opens his mouth, with him and Xie Huagai cost-effective, the granary plus the grain inside is at most 100,000, Ma Qingyuan dares to ask for 500,000, Xu Wangshan seems to be very generous, 100,000 cheaper, 400,000 sold to them.
This is not selling, this is a secret robbery and fraud that is worse than open robbery!
Before Liu Changting could speak, Xie Huagai couldn't help but let out a series of sneers.
"50,000 granaries and grains, Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai dare to ask for 500,000 guan, do you really think that Xie and Liu Yuanwai are soil buns who have never seen the world? 500,000? Xia County Zun commented on the theory, are the granaries and grain grown outside Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai really worth 500,000? Xie Huagai wanted to pull Xia Xiang into the water, and he guessed that behind Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan's sky-high asking price, he was bewitched by Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang took a sip of tea quietly, and smiled faintly: "This official doesn't know how to operate, and he has never been to the granary and has never seen growing grain, but this official knows a truth......"
Xia Xiang deliberately paused and didn't speak, Lian Ruohan knew the meaning of the string song when he heard it, and then asked, "What is the truth?" ”
"It's very simple...... Xia Xiangchong Lian Ruohan smiled slightly, and asked Liu Changting again, "Liu Yuanwai, how much is the fan in your hand worth?" ”
The material of the fan in Liu Changting's hand is customized by him, the ivory of Siam is the bone, the Su brocade of Suzhou is the face, the white jade of Bagan is the pendant, and the silk of Dingzhou is the rope. It's just that it is not easy to put together various materials, and it is woven by his own hands, and the inscription on the fan is his favorite poem inscribed by his favorite master, and the value is even more immeasurable.
Lian Ruohan's mind moved, and he immediately guessed what Xia Xiang was thinking, and said casually: "More than 100 guan, less than 200 guan, although the ivory fan bone is good, it is a high-grade but not a unique product, so the value is limited." ”
Liu Changting's face suddenly turned red, the ivory fan is his most beloved thing, he can't put it down, he is inseparable, don't say two hundred, it is two thousand and twenty thousand, he won't sell it, not to mention that he is not short of money.
"If someone is willing to give 200,000 yuan, maybe Liu will think about it a little, haha." Liu Changting shook the fan a few times, and the smug shape overflowed, "This is Liu's beloved thing, how can it be transferred?" In Liu's heart, this fan is a priceless treasure. ”
At this moment, if Ma Qingyuan still didn't understand what Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan's foreshadowing meant, he would be too stupid, and he immediately laughed: "The granary and growing grain are also the beloved things of Ma and Xu Yuanwai......"
Liu Changting was detoured by Xia Xiang, and only then did he realize that Xia Xiang was helping Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan round the field, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, a small Qipin Zhixian County dared to tease him, really when he was an ordinary businessman with no background and no background? He snorted coldly: "Liu is just for the sake of Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai, thinking that it is a waste for the two to keep the granary and grow grain, Liu and Xie Yuanwai bought it, they can share the worries for Xia County and benefit the people, since Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai sit on the ground and raise the price, Liu Mou doesn't want it." ”
"Don't be rash and don't be rash, buying and selling is originally a business that sits on the ground and pays back the money, since it is a business, you must allow Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai to have the intention of giving a big gift." Xie Huagai smiled, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and said slowly, "The price of Ma Yuanwai is 500,000 yuan, and it is also intended to test our eyesight, we should thank Ma Yuanwai for helping us improve our eyesight, in this way, Ma Yuanwai, a fixed price, 50,000 yuan!" If you nod your head, we'll get the money. ”
Xu Wangshan grinned: "Xie Yuanwai is really good at laughing, Ma Yuanwai's asking price is 500,000, and Xu's asking price is 400,000." Now that Xie Yuanwai has made a counteroffer, Xu can't help but give face, 300,000 yuan, a fixed price! ”
Liu Changting couldn't bear it anymore, and knocked the table with the fan in his hand: "Xia Xianzun personally promised Cui Fuzun to take over the granary and grain business by Liu and Xie Yuanwai. ”
