Dong'an Temple elder Zhi Fa Han learned that Chen Caozhi returned to Jiankang, so he rushed from Tangshan, asked Chen Caozhi to go to Dong'an Temple with joy, Chen Caozhi asked him about the engraving and printing of scriptures, since the year before June Zhi Fahan received Chen Cao's 100 gold donation engraving and printing has been two years, should have achieved something, Zhi Fa Han kept it secret, just smiled: "Chen Tanyue to the small temple to know. ”

Because the Qin envoys wanted to come to worship Huan Wen, Chen Caozhi had to stay in Beijing to meet with the Qin envoys, Chen Caozhi is now not only the military governor of the four states of Hebei, You, and Ping, but also the military of Sizhou on the south bank of the Yellow River is also under the jurisdiction of Chen Caozhi, and the Qin border is fully bordered, and Chen Caozhi is the biggest barrier to contain the Qin Dynasty

Chen Caozhi can not return to Qian Tang for the time being, the major events in the DPRK and China have also been agreed, quite a sparing, the Beijing celebrities frequently invited him to participate in the Qing Tan Yaji, but Chen Cao refused to do so, which made the Beijing celebrities greatly surprised, Chen Caozhi was famous by Xuan Xuan Qing talk, when he was a person and the Bazhou Dazhong debated, only to be shocked, was promoted to the second product by Sima Yu, who was the great Situ at the time, and the Qian Tang Chen family was also listed as a scholar, and Chen Caozhi was able to marry the girl of the Xie family of Chen County, which can also be said to be the work of Xuan Tan, when Xie Daoyun was in Wuyi Lane to talk about choosing a son-in-law, The children of the Nandu family gathered together, each with their own wit, if it weren't for Chen Caozhi's invincible tongue, how could he convince so many competitors, it can be said that Chen Caozhi has a lot of achievements in Xuan Xuan, why is he refusing to talk about the elegant collection now?

There are people who have done good things to speculate that the reason why Chen Caozhi refuses to participate in the Xuantan meeting is because since the death of Lin Yuan, the fourth year of Xian'an, Chen Caozhi thinks that no one in the world can distinguish him

Chen Caozhi laughed at these rumors, and on April 26, he took Murong Qinchen and Xiao Zhongyu to Tangshan Dong'an Temple, Xiao Zhongyu since that day Murong Qinchen hugged him and rode a horse together, as long as he went out, he refused to ride a car, and he wanted to ride a horse, Xiao Zhongyu was also familiar with Chen Caozhi these days, so this time he went to Dong'an Temple by Chen Caozhi to take him on a horse, this little guy was very happy on a horse, smiling from ear to ear, and a few small milk teeth in his small mouth were white and cute

Murong Qinchen! Wearing a hat, covering his veil, riding a rouge horse, with a waist and legs, he looked sideways at the father and son beside him, and his heart was full of joy, and he couldn't hold any other emotions one by one

Thirty miles of road, half a day to arrive, Zhi Fahan and two monks in the southern foot of Tangshan to greet him, and Chen Caozhi and others go up the mountain together, first to the Buddha to worship, and then Zhi Fahan led Chen Caozhi to the mantle liao to sit, take out a volume of scriptures and ask Chen Caozhi to view, Chen Cao one of them looks, is the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" scripture style is beautiful and beautiful, round and elegant, Chen Caozhi is very familiar with this kind of book style, this is Xie An's: "Elder Fa Han actually asked An Shigong to copy the scriptures for you!"

Zhi Fahan said mysteriously: "Please take a closer look, please take a closer look." ”

Chen Caozhi looked at it carefully, and this look saw that the mystery came, this book was not copied with a brush, but rubbed, Chen Caozhi was surprised: "The engraving and printing of the scriptures are so exquisite!" This volume of "Diamond Sutra" is extremely exquisite in terms of paper, ink, and binding, especially the half-inch size of the line, the pen is fine, no wonder Chen Caozhi thought it was Xie An's own handwriting at first glance!

Zhi Nu Han said proudly: "The scriptures please An Shi Gongshu, Tanxi Wu Mao first carefully engraved the engraving, this first edition of the "Diamond Sutra" only took one year and three months to make the plate, but because of the improper selection of wood, the first edition was only printed less than a hundred volumes, and the engraving was damaged.

Chen Caozhi asked: "How much does it cost?" ”

Zhi Fa Han said: "About a million dollars."

Chen Caozhi said: "One million dollars have printed less than 100 Buddhist scriptures, and the cost is too amazing, so it is better to ask someone to copy it:" The engraving and printing of the scriptures is for popularization, so that the general public can also read the Buddhist scriptures, and it does not need to be too exquisite. ”

Zhi Fahan said: "The first edition is more difficult, the more you don't say the better, and the first edition is mainly for the sake of giving it to the court and the opposition, so it is made extremely exquisitely, and it will be abandoned if it is slightly damaged, and it is expected that the second edition will get a thousand volumes of the Diamond Sutra."

Chen Caozhi shrugged and said, "Very good!" He also asked: "Is the tariff difficult to afford?" ”

Zhi Fahan said with a smile: "The little monk gave the Buddhist scriptures to those big families, how can there be a reason to return empty-handed, the Buddhist scriptures are the most treasures, and the printing of the scriptures is immeasurable, the little monk withdrew from the 9981 volume of the "Diamond Sutra", and got 7.6 million yuan, all of which were used for engraving and printing scriptures, and would never dare to divert it for other purposes. ”

Chen Caozhi laughed and said in his heart: "Those wealthy scholars obviously don't realize what a huge impact this kind of book popularization brought by engraving and printing will have on their cultural advantages of the scholars, and they also donate money generously, interesting!"

Zhi Fahan invited Chen Caozhi to visit a newly built courtyard behind the temple, but saw more than ten thatched houses, the sound of sawing and chiseling came from the thatched houses, there were a few thick jujube wood, pear wood stacked under the eaves, a corner of the small courtyard, broken wood sawdust into a small hill one by one

A craftsman in his fifties with a green shirt and a short robe walked out and gave a salute to Zhifa Hanheshi, who introduced Chen Caozhi and said: "Chen Tanyue, this is the name of the Tanxi inscription."

Craftsman * Maoxian, the little monk asked him to be in charge of the engraving.

Ten years ago, Chen Caozhi saw Wu Mao carved Wang Xi's book Cao E tablet in Shangyu Dongshan, which can express the fluent charm of calligraphy on the hard bluestone, and several and the original: "Wu Weng's skills are extraordinary, and Wu Weng helps to carve scriptures, of course, he gets twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhi Fahan and asked Chen Caozhi to enter the hut to see the craftsman carved the plate, there are a few young monks also followed Wu Maoxian to learn the engraving, Chen Caozhi carefully watched, carefully asked, Wu Maoxian said: "After a piece of engraving is made, if there is a word damage on the occasion of rubbing, it is not the whole version is wasted, how to make a single word, just like a seal, a word is damaged that is another word to replace, can save manpower and material resources, of course, such a process is more complex, need to try more, and the font used should be based on Likai, Likai neat, relatively easy to make plates for the grass. ”

Wu Mao opened his mouth suddenly, and he was in awe of Chen Caozhi.

At this time, a monk came in a hurry, saying that Chen Tanyue's entourage was fighting with people in the Peacock Ming Palace, Chen Caozhi and Zhi Fahan hurried to the Peacock Ming King Palace, only to see the two young scholars in front of the hall were theorizing with the rouge warrior Sanuer, Sanuer! ignored them, just waved the horsewhip in his hand, and shouted: "Dare to probe your brain again, and eat me again!"

Murong Qinchen took Xiao Zhongyu and stood aside to watch the excitement, Xiao Zhongyu clenched his little fist and shouted: "Fight, fight one by one"

Chen Caozhi walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Murong Qinchen stepped forward and whispered: "I teach Zhongyu to worship Buddha, and a young man comes to peep frequently, Sa."

Without saying a word, the slave whipped the big whip, and he was about to make a fuss. ”

Zhi Fahan came over and said: "Chen Tanyue, one of these two teenagers is the son of Wang Wendu of Zhongshu Ling, named Wang Chen, the one who was whipped, and the other is his nephew, Wang Gong, the son of Yin Wang Yun of Danyang. ”

Chen Caozhi knows Wang Chen and Wang Gong, both of whom are frequent visitors to "The World Speaks New Language", Wang Gong's favorite commentator, he admires his grandfather Wang Ying "Extremely admired, Wang Ying is the beautiful man who buys hats in the market and doesn't need money, Wang Gong often asks celebrities such as Xie An, Wang Xianzhi and others who is higher than his grandfather and Zhi Daolin? Who is better than Liu? Wang Gong has a famous saying: "Celebrities don't have to be geniuses, but they can be called celebrities if they have nothing to do, drink hard, and be familiar with "Lisao". "One by one is this Wang Gong, twenty years later in the name of Zhu Guobao raised troops to attack Jiankang, causing chaos in Jiangdong, Sun Tai and Sun En of the Heavenly Master Dao also took the opportunity to gather people to rebel, of course, now Wang Gong is only a sixteen-year-old handsome young man who was whipped by Sanur Wang Chen is the fourth son of Wang Tanzhi, Wang Tanzhi advocates Confucianism, but his son is an idol of Ruan, drinking, dispersing, wandering, once his father-in-law's family had a funeral, this Wang Chen and a dozen friends who were scattered drank and blushed, Dressed naked into the mourning hall, around the three Yuan, and walked away, Ruan Ji has wonderful poems and texts, and has profound and broad thoughts, Wang Chen does not, he will only imitate Ruan Ji's angry and arrogant behavior

Wang Gong and Wang Chen both knew Chen Caozhi, although Chen Caozhi was only ten years older than them, "but with their fathers Wang Tanzhi and Wang Yun are all equals, and they are famous and famous, and their official positions are prominent, the two of them stepped forward to salute, Wang Chen covered his neck with one hand and complained to Chen Caozhi, saying that he just saw Chen Xiaolangjun cute, and after a few more glances, the red-clothed maid whipped and beat him, and asked Chen Tingshi to be the master, and punished the red-clothed maid-

Chen Caozhi said: "Qin Qin used to be the princess, she was happy in the Buddha hall to allow outsiders to peep on the side, this Wang Chen said that he was looking at my son, he must still look at me Qin Qin, this kind of debauched so-called celebrity lesson is also good." He said, "I know that you two are rising stars, so let's do it, I will fight with you two to win, if you two can convince me, I will punish the red-clothed maid, and I will never talk about Xuan Yiyi again."

Wang Gong and Wang Chen are enthusiasts of Jiankang Xuantan, and there is indeed no one in the younger generation who can argue with them, and they have long had the heart to ask Chen Caozhi, who is known as the first debater in Jiang Zuoxuan, if they can argue against Chen Caozhi, wouldn't it be famous all over the world?

Wang Chen forgot about the hot pain in his neck, and asked: "If the two of us can't argue, Chen Thorn Shi should be like that."

What? ”

Chen Caozhi: "Naturally, I will never talk about the mystery for the rest of my life, change my course, and specialize in Confucianism." ”

Now the Central Plains is initially decided, the threat of the Hu people has been temporarily alleviated, if you can't Confucianism and Xuanxuan, then Jiangdong's morale will be more extravagant and absurd, although the Wei and Jin Xuanfeng will make human nature awaken and the mind is raised, but if a country is rude and lawless, it will be upscale and desolate, the people will suffer, and eventually it will go to turmoil and perish, if you are a hermit, then although it is okay to wear naked and drink freely, but you occupy a high-ranking position, but you have to drink every day without anything to do, read "Lisao", and he doesn't care, isn't this a disaster for the country and the people?
