Volume 5 Tokyo Cold Chapter 449 [But Do Good Deeds]
Lin Lingsu is not stupid, he looked at Huang Jie going around in such a big circle, and the so-called best policy that he finally threw out was still the reform, how could he not understand what the intention was.
It's just that although he has a certain understanding of this problem, once he encounters something like today, he will become irrational. Looking back, he couldn't help but be in a cold sweat, if it weren't for Huang Jie to stop him today, I am afraid that he would have already provoked this Zhao official family to destroy the Buddha and caused many killings.
Seeing that Lin Lingsu sincerely thanked him, Huang Jie also sighed and said in a low voice: "Senior nephew! Uncle Shi will also give you a sentence today, that is, 'Do good deeds, don't ask about the future', and do it yourself! Go Hugh! ”
Every time the Buddha is destroyed in this history, can there be no Taoist priest behind the scenes? Every time Buddhism is revived, Taoism has never been unlucky?
After sending Lin Lingsu away, Huang Jie also said goodbye to Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao, and then left Kaifeng Mansion.
When he came out, he saw that the sky was frighteningly dark, and when he looked left and right, there were many more men and women who were chained in front of the house, but he also saw that the old woman he had asked to take care of before also got a thin quilt wrapped in a bed.
After walking a few steps, I felt a biting north wind blowing in my face, and soon there were snowflakes falling. When he walked quickly along the royal road and was about to go to Mahang Street, Yue Fei and the others also rode horses, and when they met, they learned that the Zhao Guanjia had issued an order to lift the curfew and allow the people to pass.
Immediately, Huang Jie also asked Huang Dalong to return to Yinanqiao Lane to report the news, and he also led Yue Fei and Hua Rong to Qingyun Guanxing.
When they arrived at Qingyunguan, the palace car escorting Zhao Heng had not yet arrived, so Huang Jie asked Huogong Daoist to clean up the house where he lived in the small courtyard where he lived, and explained that Yue Fei was still living in the small courtyard, taking care of Xiong Hu while looking at Zhao Heng.
However, it didn't take long for Gong Che to send Zhao Heng over, still wearing the previous casual clothes, and Huang Jie was not polite to him, and sent him directly into the room. In that room, there was only a couch, a futon, a commode, and a copy of the Tao Te Ching, and the meal he prepared was a fist-sized white flour cookcake and a bowl of water.
Then Huang Jie directly sent the escorted palace people back to the palace, and after explaining to Yue Fei like this, he didn't meet with Zhao Heng, so he asked Huang Yuzi and other veterans to have a meeting, and it was only at the third watch of the night that he returned to Yinanqiao Lane.
In the days that followed, Huang Jie was extremely busy, because the project to build a new Huangzhou ramen restaurant and Shihui Street in Tokyo was about to start immediately, and many things had to be busy. However, because the Changlong was dotted early in the morning, and a narrow plot of land was bought at the back of Mahang Street outside the Donghua Gate, so there is no need to worry about the problem of building land, but the construction still needs to be commanded and dispatched by Huang Jie himself.
The plot at the back of Mahang Street is five or six acres in size, but it is sandwiched between two alleys, and there is no road on the side of Mahang Street, so it also paid a high price to buy a doorway house facing the street. This time, the newly built Shihui Street in Tokyo will naturally not be as blue as it was in Huangzhou, and it will naturally be a big deal.
So Huang Jie's design is to completely demolish the façade house facing the street, build a fountain on the original site, and then build a rainbow bridge in the middle of the fountain to attract guests to the food street, and on the narrow plot, do not build any bungalows, first dig down one foot and two feet, go to the stone and triple soil to build a cellar that can store ice, and then use a mixed brick and wood structure to build a three-story corner tower, the ground floor is used as a kitchen, warehouse, and operation room, and the guests will consume and dine on the second floor after coming up from the rainbow bridge. The third floor is full of private rooms with wine cubicles, and the height of the third floor is just over the two floors of shops on the main street of Mahang Street, so you can naturally enjoy a panoramic view of the street.
Moreover, this time, Huang Jie not only brought more than 200 skilled cooks and construction craftsmen from Huangzhou, but also 500 servant craftsmen, so he did not need to recruit local craftsmen and handymen in Tokyo when building Shihui Street, which also allowed him to carry some personal work during construction.
In addition, after the Zhao Guanjia handed over the matter of the monk Hu to Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao, they also left it alone, but the two were attentive, and in only three days, they also dug out more than 300 monks and Hu monks hidden in the city of Tokyo, but there were only more than 100 people who believed in Buddhism, and there were more than 200 monks in the Great Qin Jingjiao (Christian Nestori sect), Da Shi Sect (****** religion), Zoroastrianism, Yuanjiao, Manichaeism, as well as Western Xia and Tubo such as Bon and Shamanism.
After careful screening, the spies did take a few, but the vast majority of them were innocent. It's just that the Buddhist monasteries in the city have also been ordered to bring the Buddhists back, and no one cares about these foreign disciples. In the end, the two reported the matter to Zhao Guan's family, and as a result, Zhao Guan's family sent someone to ask Huang Jie, and Huang Jie simply asked Zhao Guan's family to send these people to Qingyunguan, and arrange them in another courtyard first and then find a way.
As a result, it took two more days to settle these monks, Huang Jie, in addition to arranging their food and lodging, the time-consuming place was to arrange dozens of young Taoist priests from Qingyun Temple, who had just been summoned from all over the country, so that they could learn each other's language and writing one-on-one with those monks of Jingjiao, Dashijiao, Zoroastrianism, Yuanjiao, and Manichaeism, and help each other to translate their teachings and scriptures into the Great Song Dynasty, and in the process, covertly probe the customs and customs of the country they came to and all relevant information.
It was also around the second watch of the ninth day when Zhao Heng came to Qingyunguan on the ninth day, Huang Jie, who was supervising in Mahang Street, had just had a free rest, and was making a circle with the two elders of A Mink and A Hu, as well as a few old craftsmen to eat hot pot around the stove, Mo Da suddenly came to him, and after saying a few words in Huang Jie's ear, Huang Jie also clapped his hands and said: "Very good, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, it is today!" Brother Lao Mo quickly went to find my nephew Cao! ”
After that, he also hurriedly ate and drank with all the elders and craftsmen, and then led the elite team of the Thirteen Taibao and Huarong to Qingyunguan.
But said that Zhao Heng, since he came to Qingyunguan, he was in Huang Jie's original house to repair, the first few days he was also calm, eating the frozen hard cooking cakes, drinking the water condensed from the ice ballast, but after less than five days, he couldn't stand it anymore, but when he dared to push open the door and wanted to sneak out of the yard, he called the white tiger and grizzly bear guarding the door to be scared back, and since then he has broken his courage, and honestly stayed in the house to meditate and chant Buddha, and he naturally didn't read the "Tao Te Ching" of Lao Shizi.
And Huang Jie also roughly figured out that this Zhao Heng believed in Buddhism because his nurse was a devout person who believed in Buddhism, and he induced him to believe in Buddhism since he was a child, and later met a few monks and monks who could play some tricks, so he went astray.
But said that this night, the sky had just been darkened Zhao Heng went to bed early, but the weather was too cold, the thin quilt could not withstand the cold, and in recent days, he had eaten white flour cooking cakes, so he was too cold to sleep, so he simply wrapped himself in a thin quilt, sat down and stepped on the foot according to the method taught by the monk, and his hands did not move the vajra seal to silently recite his diamond sutra.
This kind of chanting and meditation is naturally the most prone to sleepiness for those who are not mentally strong. Zhao Heng recited the scriptures for a while, and then he was also confused, and soon he was awakened by a burst of time bangzi, but he also clearly recorded that it was only the third quarter of the first shift, and it was about to be the second watch.
It's just that the weather is cold, and he can't sleep at all, but somehow he suddenly came to the toilet, so he got up and got out of bed, and came to the commode to prepare a little relief, but when he reached out, he saw that his fingers had slid over the lid of the commode like a phantom.
Surprised, he turned his head to look around, and found a person sitting on the bed, and he should have looked the same as himself. (To be continued.) )
