"The painting carpet is gone, I'll let the baby pick it up with you."

Baigan Gyatso is not surnamed Bai, he is not a guru, and he can't be called a lama, but he doesn't mind the salutation, and he goes straight and says, "Ao Gong, curb the prince and Jin Taishi, you want to do the method, and the carpet is urgently used, and you want it today." ”

Ao Bai is not surnamed Ao, his surname is Guerjia, his surname is not Ji Bilong, his surname is Niu Hulu, and Baigan Gyatso also doesn't mind what the adult's surname is, he just wants to sell "Dharma Blankets".

The "Dharma Carpet" is not like dzi, wheel and other ritual utensils, which were originally not available in Tibetan Buddhism, just as the temples in China did not sell Buddha statues earlier.

But what is there? Earlier, Longfu Monastery was a monk's temple, but now it is not mixed with lamas?

The Jade Emperor Meeting was originally a Taoist festival, but it was still held outside the monk lama temple?

In addition to the Taoist festival outside the temple of the monk lama, the same celebration of the Jade Emperor Society was also held outside the Catholic church outside the Xuanwu Gate.

It was a Catholic church rebuilt on the site of the church built by the Catholic Jesuit missionary and Italian Matteo Ricci during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, commonly known as the "South Church", which was supervised by the Holy Roman Empire missionary John Tang in the seventh year of Shunzhi.

Emperor Shunzhi, Fulin, is a Catholic, two years before his death, under the influence of the Linji monk Han Pu, Yulin Xiu and his disciple Xingsen, he converted to Buddhism, and the law name is "Xing Idiot", and he also asked the inner eunuch Wu Liangfu to cut his hair for him, and became a monk in Minzhong Temple!

It's just that as soon as Shunzhi collapsed, Wu Liangfu was cut down by the empress dowager, who was annoyed and angry, in the first year of Kangxi. On the day Shunzhi went to Minzhong Temple to watch Wu Liangfu's ordination ceremony, he fell ill on the night of returning to the palace and was diagnosed with smallpox.

The Manchus, whose official ethnic name is "Manchuria", believe in shamanism and, like Japanese Shintoism, belong to animism.

Due to the unity of Manchu and Mongolia, the Manchus were deeply influenced by the Mongols, who believed in Tibetan Buddhism, that is, the Red Religion and later the Yellow Religion, which was commonly known as Lamaism in Middle Earth.

Many Manchurian nobles believe in the "Buddha", which is Lamaism, and even the monks of Longfu Temple are associated with lamas.

The reason why the Taoist water and land dojo and the Jade Emperor will be able to hold it in front of the monk and lama temple are based on the flickering of the "nobleman" in the mouth of the monk Jingyun.

The most lively time in the county is the day of "catching up with the market", and the word "set" is the place where popularity gathers and wealth rolls in.

When is the most lively and popular in front of the temple? Of course, it is a "temple fair", focusing on a "meeting".

There is popularity in front of the temple, and the flow of people who gather from all directions will naturally turn into tourists and pilgrims.

Temporary an idea, step into the temple door, buy incense, stuff two money into the merit box, as long as there is a flow of people, the more people join in the fun, the larger the base, the more money the monk temple earns.

The black-eyed people can't see the silver, with money, it's not a matter of opening a Taoist meeting outside the monk temple, Xiangguo Temple also opened a pig house, selling pork, and the one who wraps meat buns is a monk.

The monks of Longfu Temple are very particular, they do not sell pork, and they do not earn money from the forced sale of incense and divination.

On the contrary, there are well-dressed men and women, and the landlord and the old wealth come in, and they can always get precious gifts free of charge.

The Buddha who came from Tibet, the true body of the white porcelain jade Buddha who opened the light.

The Buddha statues have different expressions, and there is a Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a jade net bottle in his hand, and his smile is warm and warm. There is a solemn Great Sun Venerable, and there is a fierce King Kong who points to the heavens and the earth, whether it is seeking a son, warding off evil spirits, or praying for blessings, the Buddha can do it.

The Buddha statue is all porcelain, white porcelain glaze, from the "nobleman's" private kiln, the technology is not much higher, that is, the coal is used instead of charcoal, the furnace temperature is high, and the porcelain is transparent. Bone powder was added, the tire was thin and translucent, not like ancient porcelain, and there was hidden jade.

Although the technology is different, just as removing air bubbles from glass is just the word "stirring", it is just a window paper, and it can be done at one point.

However, due to the relationship that has not yet been broken, all the "jade porcelain" in the Beijing-Tianjin area is still monopolized, and the monk temple can only find a "nobleman" to buy the Buddha statue.

But these Buddha statues were not bought for sale, but as gifts.

In addition to the Buddha statue, there is also an exquisite shrine, which comes with an incense burner and a "homework book" to teach lay people who worship our Buddha at home how to burn incense.

What you earn is incense money.

Sandalwood and agarwood, a lot of them come from the territory of Wu Sangui in the south, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong, the three kings of the south. Some are from Vietnam, Java, Malay, Luzon, and imported from Portugal, the Netherlands and Spain.

Since the religious industry in Beijing and Tianjin has greatly increased the demand for sandalwood and agarwood, Wu Yingxiong, who has just been promoted to the young master and the prince's concubine, and Geng Juzhong, the young prince's young master, has been the largest timber wholesaler in Beijing.

In the year of Aobai, the prince of Jin, Wu Yingxiong, and Geng Juzhong divided the prince of Jin, the prince and the young master.

On the other side of the continent, Isaac. Newton invented the reflecting telescope, and Spain, which had already covered all of South America, signed the Treaty of Lisbon with Portugal, recognizing Portugal's independence. The British leased the Seven Islands of Bombay to the British East India Company.

The Age of Discovery, the Great Discovery of Geography, has come to an end, and the era of colonial plunder, represented by the "Black Triangle Trade" in the North Atlantic, that is, the slave trade, and the three Anglo-Dutch wars, has begun.

In order to compete for the raw material market and the colonies, the continental states are fighting faster and more fiercely.

At this time in the East, Wu Yingxiong and Geng Juzhong were sorrowful for the arrival of peace.

Peace represents unification, and a unified dynasty has always been a feudal one.

The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. The fathers of the two brothers ruled the world for the Qing Dynasty and made great achievements, and they were really unified, but the Jingshi blew the demon wind of cutting the domain.

How Ren is the king of Pingxi said that the remnants of Li Dingguo have a tendency to resurge, the court always does not believe it.

Li Dingguo has been dead for almost ten years, except for Zheng Wei in Taiwan, the world is peaceful, a border town vassal king, who can raise thieves and self-respect?

How does this not make the brothers sad?

The two of them are hostages in Beijing, acting as hostages, and the only activity on weekdays is to invite people to dinner everywhere, give gifts, and inquire about news, but other than that, there is no.

Since I found a timber wholesale business, the smiles of the two goods are much brighter.

It's always comforting to have something to do, to forget for a moment the fact that you're called a colt and a hostage.

In order to do a good job, Hum Ha Er tied up a lot of skilled craftsmen from the south to Beijing, specializing in pressing incense carving shrines.

The incense is special, not to mention the light, the above is either "pineapple jackfruit" or "ah mommy mommy coaxing", a gold powder plate dragon, ingenious workmanship, a burning room is fragrant.

Sandalwood simple bins also have paper, discussion boards. The agarwood is all wrapped in a golden silk nanmu box like a pen holder, and it is really reluctant to order it if it is not a large one.

So, this incense is very expensive.

A plate of sandalwood has 180 sticks, weighing one or two dollars. A tube of agarwood 30, only weighs two dollars, the price is not more or less, are one or two of Kuping silver.

Burning incense burns money!

An agarwood can also be burned for two quarters of an hour, and one will be offered to the Buddha in the morning and evening, and a cylinder of 30 and a half months will be gone.

This is still only for the Buddha, only one room, the house is so big that even the thatched house is lit, and the tube of incense will be gone in three or five days.

The reason why the incense burner of the Buddha statue shrine is not sold, but it is only given away for free, because the Bodhisattva is not a necessity, there is no need for upgrading, the market has a bottleneck, and the demand is easy to reach the peak. Without a base, no matter how high the net profit is, you can't earn a few.

Incense is a consumable, it will be gone as soon as it is burned, and the demand is endless, and the demand will be as great as there are as many Bodhisattvas as it is sent.

There is an incense burner in front of the shrine Buddha statue, who can resist the urge not to light an incense stick?

People are animals!

Although many workshops in Beijing and Tianjin began to imitate, but after all, the brand of "a product of sandalwood" has already been played, and the jade porcelain Kaiguang Buddha is a unique gift, only given away and not sold.

"A pint of sandalwood" is a light that the Lama Buddha has opened, so can it be ordinary incense?

One or two silver and a cartridge of "a product of sandalwood", the old rich are willing to buy it, and most people want to burn this incense, but they have not yet opened the jade Buddha to send it.

Only on the Beijing-Tianjin monk temple to sell incense, a month yard is 20,000 taels, according to the Shunzhi nine years of 24 million taels of annual income, a piece of incense on the top of the financial income of one percent.

It is not difficult to understand why the monk Jingyun talked about the fragrant eyebrows flying and dancing, because the income from selling incense is really a lot of money for Longfu Temple.

During the Shunzhi period, the Eight Banners Forward, the household army, the leader, and the horseman, each person was paid 2 taels of silver per month, and the craftsman service was 1 tael. At that time, three taels of silver was enough for a family of eight to live for a year.

In addition, the land that is encircled, the land and people who are charged, and the Eight Banners also have a lot of extra money, and the salary is relatively good.

The Eight Banners are all soldiers, and all the men of the Eight Banners are soldiers.

In the year of Kangxi, the Eight Banners raised their salaries again, stipulating that all the Eight Banners forwards, pro-army, protectors, leaders, and bow makers would be paid 4 taels of silver per month. Its Xiaoqi, bowsmiths, and coppersmiths are paid 3 taels of silver per month, and 48 taels of rice per year.

One stone is two hu, and like the bushels of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the earlier grain was used in volume units, wheat, chestnuts, grains, beans, and rice, with different weights in the same volume.

One Hu is ten buckets, about 168 Qin pounds, after the Song Dynasty is five buckets, five buckets of rice bend the waist, every year a flag Ding will send eight thousand catties.

The infantry camp is almost there, the infantry leader is to pay 2 taels of silver per month, each infantry soldier is given 1 tael of silver per month, 1 tael to 4 taels of blacksmith, and 24 taels of rice per year. The gunner's monthly salary is 2 taels of silver, and the annual salary is 36 hundreds. If there are horses and camels, the monthly discount of 3 taels per horse and camel is given to bean grass.

This is the real leader, the Qing Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, and the Qing generation is the same as Qin, and it cannot be knighted if it is not a military merit. In the end of the Qing Dynasty, the only and only person who was knighted for non-military merits was Zhang Tingyu.

The officials of the Qing Dynasty were all military and political, and the county commanders had to command the government to go out of the city to suppress the bandits, and sit back and watch the thieves die and those who lose the city die. The governor has a supervising standard, the governor has a fu standard, and the political envoy has a yamen, and the yamen of the inspection envoy has a pro-standard.

The military and political affairs of the Qing Dynasty did not have as many things as "folding" and "drifting" in the Song and Ming dynasties, and the rewards and punishments were clear. Xuan Fengxu's "future" is not ambiguous, and it is very rare for civilian officials like Song Ming to win military merits.

The "fire consumption" of the civil administration tax link is not apportioned to the head of the Eight Banners.

In addition, this is only its Dingkou silver, and there are individual errands and double salaries, battlefield captures, Shangguan rewards, and land income from the horse race, which are not listed.

Therefore, as long as there is a war, the Eight Banners will be very rich, and there are many people who can afford to burn sky-high incense.

"The villain will return to Mr. Sun."

Chu Laosan couldn't help but smile when he heard that his incense was so popular, he usually couldn't talk to "Manager Sun", so it was best to go up and ask for peace with the help of Monk Jingyun.

"Let Yang Mujie go back with you and bring the painting carpet."

The eight little lamas drove out six ox carts with carriages and carriages, Baigan Gyatso gestured sideways, pointed to the goods bag on an ox cart, and said to Chu Laosan, "This morning, I gave the ninth master the cow strips, cow tendons, and cow marrow, go back to the well and town, don't let it go." ”

"Thank you."

Jingyun mentioned "Manager Sun", Chu Laosan didn't know much, as soon as he heard the lama's mouth pop out of the "Ninth Master", he immediately raised his fist respectfully and bowed away, and reminded in a low voice, "The Ninth Master is a common man now." ”

"That's still the Ninth Master."

Baigan Gyatso is sincere, and his face does not change, "Quickly bring my painting carpet." ”

"Huh!"

Chu Laosan nodded convincingly, "The villain will be pulled by the Buddha." ”
