Chapter 437: Livelihood

Jing Xuan's words are very reasonable, but in Ji Ning's ears, there is no reason to speak of.

If a girl does not have the ability to survive, she must be forced to fall into the dust, this reason is too far-fetched, people always have to live for their own dignity, and they cannot find reasons for their own depravity.

Ji Ning said: "That Shu'an Hall, in the past, except for dozens of acres of fields outside the city, there was no other means of income?" ”

"Nope." Jing Xuan replied very simply, "We are just ordinary women, and we are people who come out of the dust, and we don't go out to find people on weekdays, how can we have other means of income?" ”

"This Shu'an Hall, although the corner is not very good, but there are many alleys and houses around, as well as the entrance of the market, and then there is a unique Buddha, such a good place, it stands to reason that the incense should be vigorous, why is it that what I am simple is not a vigorous incense, but a dilapidated environment?" Ji Ning said.

"Incense, what's that?" Jing Xuan said with a puzzled expression.

Shizuhiko next to him said: "Senior sister in charge, is it the Bodhisattva who is offered, or is it a Buddha statue?" Burning incense? ”

Ji Ning thought to himself: "A group of stupid women, who originally relied on a master and a little inheritance left by their ancestors to barely survive, but now that the master is gone, even the land has to be taken back, they have to sell their hue to make a living?" ”

"Have you ever thought that even if you are given 1,600 taels and you get the nunnery, you can live with some silver left, so what will you do in the future?" Ji Ning asked.

"Ji Gongzi is too careful, six hundred taels of silver, we can live for a long time...... Ten years and eight years are not a problem. Jingxuan said.

"Even if you can live ten years with these six hundred taels of silver, what about ten years later?" Ji Ning asked again.

Jing Xuan couldn't answer at all, because she hadn't thought about such a long-term thing at all.

"It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and I think that if Shu'antang wants to maintain it in the future, there are only two ways." Ji Ning said.

"I want to hear about it." This time, not only Jing Xuan was very interested, but even Jing Yan and the others wanted to know what Ji Ning could do so that they could continue to survive.

Ji Ning said: "Six hundred taels of silver, according to the market price, you can basically buy about thirty acres of land from around the capital, if you can lease it, you can have a tax to collect every year, do you know this?" ”

Jing Xuan looked at her senior sisters, and finally she shook her head and said, "In the past, these things were taken care of by the master. ”

"That's good." Ji Ning said, "You don't know how to manage the fields, that's okay, you can repair the Buddha statues, and then supply incense in the temple, and open the door to let the people from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns enter your temple to worship incense, so that the small Shu'an Hall also has an income, and your life can be guaranteed." In this way, you will have the real ability to repay your debts. ”

Jing Xuan was very sure: "We don't have the ability to repay our debts!" ”

"Even if I don't have it for the time being, I must have it in the future, because I don't accept the terms of the deal with you!" Ji Ning said, "Even if it's the same as you said, it's a greedy and lustful person, it's not pure lust, isn't there still greed for money?" I am a miser, and every penny of money I pay must be worthwhile, and I want to use this silver to 'invest', and you Shu'antang people will work for me from now on, and I will pay you every month's salary, so that you can live with money, can you? ”

Jing Xuan and Jing Yan and several other nuns, their eyes widened after hearing this, and they couldn't understand what Ji Ning was saying at all.

Ji Ning said: "Let's put it this way, I can help you keep your Shu'an Hall, but the house deed and land deed must be here, I don't lend you silver, I lend Shu'an Hall to you, let you live here." As for your daily expenses, you also need to receive them from me, and you can only get paid if you do what I say. Of course, I won't let you do anything that violates the law and discipline, but I just let you do what a monk should do, which is to worship Buddha statues and maintain the incense in Shu'an Hall. ”

Obviously, Jing Xuan and the others don't have the business acumen of Ji Ning, and they don't understand what Ji Ning is saying at all.

Jing Xuan said: "Ji Gongzi's words, the little woman only understands a little, you are unwilling to lend us silver, but you are willing to ...... Bought Shu'an Tang, right? ”

"Yes." Ji Ning said, "Who was the original owner of this Shu'an Hall?" ”

"It's the son of Liu Yuanwai in the west of the city, he has come to our Shu'an Hall several times, and he asked us to move out as soon as possible, and said that if you want to stay here, you must come up with a thousand taels of silver to buy out here, otherwise there will be no discussion! But in the past, Liu Yuanwai wrote a voucher, saying that he wanted to lend Shu'antang to my master and never ask for it back...... There are also those fields outside the city, also because my master once did Liu Yuanwai a great favor, and Liu Yuanwai gave the ...... to the master in gratitude," Jingxuan said with some sadness.

Maybe the respected teacher in Jing Xuan's mouth has just passed away, and when Jing Xuan said it, it was difficult to hide her sadness.

Those who come out of the dust cannot completely look down on life and death in the world.

Ji Ning would not believe that these women came to him sincerely to talk about business, at most they were forced to be helpless to compromise their fate, saying that what kind of calamity and hardship in life, Ji Ning didn't believe a word.

"Show me!" Ji Ning said, "I'm talking about the contract, don't say that Liu Yuanwai gave you the master Shu'an Hall and the land, and he didn't even leave the most basic contract!" ”

Jing Xuan asked curiously, "What is a contract?" ”

Only then did Ji Ning know why these stupid women were stupid to the point of selling themselves, because they were almost idiots in terms of social experience.

"It's just a piece of paper, written in black and white about Liu Yuanwai's gift of the field house to your master, and now you have to take it out and go to the government to confront it, only in this way can you keep your master's property!" Ji Ning said.

Jing Xuan was still confused, and at this time, the little nun who opened the door for Ji Ning and Nalan Fuxue stepped forward and said, "Senior sister in charge, I seem to have seen that the master has such a paper, but I don't know many words, I don't know what is written on it." ”

"That'...... Do you remember where? Find out and show it to Ji Gongzi! Jingxuan said.

"Oh, I think it was in the box in the master's room, and it was all put together with the master's relics!" After the little nun finished speaking, she slipped into the direction of the backyard.

The little nuns seemed to see hope, and they were all chattering with each other, they were not interested in selling their bodies, they were only interested in whether they could keep Shu'an Hall.

Ji Ning also roughly saw that these nuns in Shu'antang were orphans, and they couldn't live without Shu'antang, but Liu Yuanwai's descendants didn't do anything wrong in essence, they just wanted to get back what belonged to them. But in this world, there is always the largest contract, how to agree, of course, how to abide by!
