Chapter 546 Go to Ganye Temple to make incense

Early the next morning, Di Renjie got up early, accompanied Wang Ping'an to have breakfast, and then he took someone to take his luggage and rushed to the small manor outside the city, where he would live from today onwards.

Wang Ping'an originally planned to accompany him to see the small manor by the way, but because there were too many things, he was weak and didn't make it.

In the morning, Hamiti came with Ayidin, and Yin Jiucheng also came after a while, and they got together with Wang Ping'an, and talked about buying land and building Tongtian Futu, and they also discussed it.

For them, the matter of cultivating the Heavenly Floating Buddha is not very laborious, seeing that there are more and more people who come to the Temple of Inspiration to enter the incense, and the worship of Tang Xuanzang is increasing day by day, it is estimated that as long as Tang Xuanzang raises his arms and exhales, and recites a few more Amitabha Buddhas, the money to build the tower will pour into the temple like a landslide and tsunami.

Wang Ping'an specially sent someone to invite Tang Xuanzang into the backyard when he was telling a story, met with Hamiti and others, and explained the matter of building the tower.

Tang Xuanzang had the demeanor of a monk, waved his hand, and told Wang Ping'an and others bluntly that there was no need to find a special person to design the Tongtian Floating Massacre, and this task would be handed over to him. Tang Xuanzang solemnly said that he had no teacher in building the pagoda, and it was enough for him to draw the drawings.

In history, the earliest Big Wild Goose Pagoda was indeed designed by Tang Xuanzang himself! However, it is a pity that the earliest Big Wild Goose Pagoda collapsed not long after it was built. Of course, how the earliest Big Wild Goose Pagoda collapsed, the specific reasons have long been submerged in the long river of history, and future generations cannot verify. Is it because Tang Xuanzang is not professional enough, the design is not strong enough, and there is no way to verify. Anyway, the old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come, and if it falls, it will be built again, and if it is small, it will be built again!

Wang Ping'an did not design the Tongtian Floating Massacre, completely handed over to Tang Xuanzang to do alone, Tongtian Floating Slaughter is not the earliest Big Wild Goose Pagoda, in case it is really because the design is unreasonable, it will fall in a few years, it will be too wasteful, and it will also cause casualties, maybe Tang Xuanzang brought back the Buddhist scriptures and relics and other things from Tianzhu, because it is too late to rescue them, so as to destroy, these things must be considered in advance, can not wait for things to happen, and then regret it, there is no regret medicine in the world to buy.

Wang Ping'an personally went to visit the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and the monk Shangshu talked about the construction of the Tongtian Floating Massacre, and asked the Ministry of Industry to send the most powerful officials to help design the Tongtian Floating Massacre, ostensibly in the name of Tang Xuanzang to help design, in fact, the general direction is still to be mastered by the professionals of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu readily agreed, how could he not agree to such a good thing of showing his face and making a profit. He even said that when the construction of the Tongtian Floating Massacre began, he would go to the construction site to see and give more opinions. In return, I hope to engrave his name on the lintel of the top of the tower.

Regarding this, Wang Ping'an also readily agreed, there is no problem at all, you can carve your name as you want, even if you carve it to visit here, it is no problem, others can't, you can, carve it!

After looking for the Ministry of Works, Wang Ping'an went to find the Ministry of Household Books, he asked the Ministry of Household Books to do a favor, sent officials, went to Xinchangfang to go door-to-door to talk about the acquisition of land, saying that the purchase of land was to rebuild the Inspiration Temple, and because once the construction of Tongtian Futu was started, the nearby place became a construction site, if you continue to live here, I am afraid that it will be greatly affected. Now Wang Ping'an is willing to pay money to buy all the nearby land.

As for the money to buy land, Wang Ping'an told Hubu Shangshu that when the price is opened, it will be opened at one and a half times the current price of the land, and if the people have the idea that it is difficult to leave their homeland, then the price can be opened to twice as much, and if they still hesitate, it can be opened up to three times, and special people can buy vacant land in other houses at the expense of Wang Ping'an, pay for the cost of building new houses, and ask the people to move out.

Hubu Shangshu was taken aback when he heard it, and this good thing is there? In the early Tang Dynasty, if the imperial court said that it would requisition a certain piece of land, it would rarely give compensation, and directly requisition, send officials to the people's homes to let the people move away, and at most make up a piece of land of the same size in another place, and this land was often much worse than the original.

As for buying land with cash, that doesn't exist at all. Like Wang Ping'an's method of buying land, it is simply unheard of. In these years, not to mention that the big people want to expropriate the people's land, even if it is the people themselves, they will pull it when they say that they will pull it and pull it to the border to fight, it is all a normal phenomenon, who dares to resist!

Hubu Shangshu told Wang Ping'an, you don't have to spend so much money, even if the money is so much that you panic, there is no such a flower, you just need to say, I will send officials, the joke is the same, who dares not to sell land? Who dares, you let him stand up and speak!

Wang Ping'an solemnly replied to Hubu Shangshu, no matter how he bought the land before, no matter who bought the land, whether it was the government or an individual, he didn't care what others did, but he would not buy it at a low price, and would rather pay more.

Hubu Shangshu is puzzled, even if it is not purchased at a cheap price, then the original price can be accepted, or the current price can also be, why do you have to give more money, isn't it stupid, let people take advantage of the cheap?

Wang Ping'an explained to him again, because, in the place near the Inspiration Temple, the emperor planned to give it to a certain princess, so he wanted to buy it all first, and then give it away as a gift, which didn't seem sincere, mainly for this reason.

And if the emperor gives land to a princess, it is the imperial court to requisition land, the people will suffer some losses, he paid a high price, not only let the people not lose, but also let them get benefits, the people are bound to thank him, when asking God to worship the Buddha, it is inevitable to mention a sentence, I hope that the gods and Buddhas will protect him to live a long life, and can also protect a princess who is also blessed with longevity and health, this is not a good thing.

The people unanimously praised others for being good, the princess felt that he was good, and the emperor would think that he handled it properly, and everyone was satisfied, isn't this a great thing, at most he spends more money, it doesn't matter!

Hubu Shangshu suddenly realized, of course he knew that Wang Pingan went to the palace to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this is a good thing is coming! Spending a lot of money to buy land is to please the princess, to please the princess, that is, to please the emperor, this sycophant is really loud!

Hubu Shangshu smiled and said to Wang Ping'an, if you are willing to do this, then I will help you with this. But then again, the people have benefited, and the household department has to have a little, this is the New Year, send officials out to do things, why do you have to give some hard-earned money!

Wang Ping'an said very generously, according to everyone's money, I will send two months' red envelopes. Hubu Shangshu also readily agreed, promising to send someone out tomorrow, after the Shangyuan Festival, this matter can be done, you can rest assured!

The affairs of the household department and the Ministry of Industry were settled, Wang Ping'an returned to the Inspiration Temple, and called Hamiti and others to discuss, he completed the official affairs, and the rest of the specific matters were handed over to Hamiti and them to do, and everyone worked together to try their best to do things quickly and well, so as not to have many dreams at night, and extraneous branches.

In the next few days, Wang Ping'an was busy with entertainment, either going to the East Palace to see the crown prince Li Zhi, or going to various mansions to pay New Year's greetings, like Wei Chi Gong and Li Ji, as well as a number of important ministers in the court, he ran all over, and went to the favors that should go, and sent out the gifts that should be given.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Wang Ping'an entered the East Palace again and went to see Li Zhi.

Li Zhi has stopped quite a few days, and he doesn't know what evil is wrong, for the first time, he actually started to read, self-cultivation, and good manners, neither listening to songs and dancing, nor drinking and having fun, and becoming a model prince.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an was coming, Li Zhi said to him: "No disease, these days, Lone has been studying the matter of scraping, but to be honest, I haven't studied it well, and I don't dare to shave my father rashly, I can't relieve my father's pain, I feel really sad in my heart, do you have any way, give Gu an idea, let Gu help his father." ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "This is guilt, okay, knowing guilt means that he has learned to care about others, not just talking." ”

He said: "Your Highness, if you want to help the emperor, then the best way is to study well, learn from history, be a virtuous prince, share the emperor's worries, and help him deal with the government, then the emperor will be happy, his mood will be good, and his condition will be better." ”

Li Zhi sighed: "Haven't you been helping your father deal with the government affairs, you don't know this." ”

Wang Ping'an said: "The minister means that you can handle the government and do one or two major things alone." Don't you see that the emperor is dictatorial to the court, you don't have to bow down to everything like his old man, but deal with one or two things, this is okay! ”

The emperor's expectation for the crown prince is just that he hopes that there will be a successor who will guard the country and the society left by his ancestors, so as long as he can prove that he can do it, no emperor will be unhappy, and this is the biggest help to the emperor.

Li Zhi listened and sighed: "Lone wants to deal with a few major matters alone, but he doesn't have a chance, there is a father and a group of ministers in the court, where is Lone's turn!" ”

He picked up the piece on the table, shook it at Wang Ping'an, and said: "Even the piece sent here is the least important thing, and the slightly more important thing, my father and the emperor have also given instructions first, and you know this more than Lone." ”

Wang Ping'an laughed dryly, thinking: "Your father hasn't died yet, of course he needs to watch the major national affairs first." ”

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Don't talk about these troublesome things, I want to go to the temple tomorrow to make incense, pray for my father's blessing, and ask the gods and Buddhas to protect my father's illness and recover as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a favor for my father, right?" ”

Only then did Wang Ping'an understand that after a long time, he said that he was talking about help, and he meant this! He said: "This kind of thing can be regarded as helping the emperor, after all, the emperor himself has no time to enter the incense." Then go back and prepare, and let Master Xuanzang prepare a few nice allusions? ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "It's not to go to the Inspiration Temple, but to the Ganye Temple, tomorrow I will accompany the lady in the palace and go to the Ganye Temple to make incense." ”
