Chapter 39 Descending to the Monk IV
When he rushed back to Chengfu Temple with the rest of the monks, he heard another news, the monk he sent to the county yamen to move troops not only failed to move to rescue the troops, but was also beaten out by the county commander Zhang Jiayin. He was afraid of being punished by his senior brother, so he didn't dare to see Zongzhen, but fled all the way back to Chengfu Temple.
And the monk he sent to Chengfu Temple to move troops, after the matter of Xiao Tiezhuang was truthfully played, he thought that the monks in the temple would definitely gather and pick up sticks to defend the monks' property. After hearing this, he slapped the table, "It's just unreasonable, it's really too deceitful, come on, please abbot, and then convene the first class leader, let's ...... Meeting! ”
Chengfu Temple is worthy of being the lower door of Shaolin, and it is really very disciplined, and if you encounter any problems, you will not forget to respect the rules and systems. When Zong Zhen came back, the first meeting here had not yet ended, and a total of three opinions were produced at the conference, and each point of view was derived from five opinions, and the temple was divided into four factions, everyone you oppose my point of view, I oppose your opinion, and some of them are obviously the other party's views and opinions are their own minds, but the person who proposed it is not their own faction, then they must oppose it to the end, and there is no result at all.
After Zong Zhen returned, he immediately became the target of public criticism, and several monks in charge asked him to take full responsibility for the failure of Xiao Tiezhuang, and to hold the relevant chief monks responsible. Zong Zhen sneered
"Accountability? I assume the responsibility of leading the team, and I do not assume any other responsibilities. I'm here to tell you one thing, Jinyiwei has set his sights on our Chengfu Temple, and also on Wuzhu'an. This is a case personally led by Pingyubo, if any of you think that your neck is hard enough and you are not afraid of Pingyubo's steel knife, you can touch it yourself. To tell the truth, if there is no teacher and nephew to bear it, I have bought time for everyone, and now the officials and troops of the imperial court are afraid that they have surrounded our Chengfu Temple. ”
His words were half-true and half-false, and all the monks were shocked: "Officers and soldiers? It's impossible, our abbot is ...... in front of the Heavenly Family."
"What is the use of the heavenly family in front of the heavenly family, and you don't know what the effect of the golden gun pill from the medicine king courtyard is, maybe it is because that thing is not used, and it is evil to the heavenly family, so it has to be used by others to play."
"At the beginning, Wuzhuan did that, but I always voted against it, and now there is really a problem. I must write a letter to the temple to explain my position on this matter, and I must not take responsibility that I should not bear. ”
The group of monks made a mess, and Guangzhao said angrily: "Everyone goes out, Zong Zhen, you stay and report to me alone, and others are not allowed to come in." At this is the intermittent crisis of our Chengfu Temple, we must first unify our thinking, if anyone has any opinions, this matter will be solved by him. ”
When all the monks withdrew, the sadness on Zong Zhen's face turned into joy, and he knelt in front of the master and said, "Master, it's a good thing, this time it's really a great thing." We can cooperate with Yang Baihu and make a lot of money. ”
Guangzhao snorted, "Nonsense." As a teacher is now the abbot of Chengfu Temple, his vision should be a little longer-term, how can he be greedy for small profits, and it will damage the interests of Shaolin, you are a vegetarian when you are a precept institute? This time you have failed a little, and I may have to punish you, but you can rest assured, as long as you are still in this position, you will be able to recover in the future. ”
Zong Zhen understood that this was Shizun's hint to let him take the blame, and hurriedly said, "Shizun Rongyu, here's the thing......"
After listening to him finish talking about Yang Chengzu's plan, Guangzhao's eyes also lit up, "This time...... Maybe you can change the way you want to deal with it. ”
He recently got news that several of the cronies and disciples of the Great Elder in Shaolin Temple wanted to build another temple in Huaxian County because it was not easy to settle, so that a large number of posts could be vacated and a group of cronies and disciples could be arranged. Even the county yamen heard that they had raised a few hundred taels of silver as funds for the construction of the temple. If the new temple is really built, I am afraid that my own Chengfu Temple will be marginalized. There are no two days, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and there are so many monks living in a county.
If the backer of the newly built temple is stubborn, his own Chengfu Temple may be revoked and merged. At that time, other people's seats may not have any impact, how can I continue as an abbot? Since this is the case, then simply put the situation on the ground, let the great monk above understand that this Huaxian County is not a good place, and put out the idea of establishing a branch temple as soon as possible.
He nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but you are too timid and too narrow-minded." The new temple is going to be built, maybe it will take away how much of our benefits, in this case, we would rather give it to the foreign cowards than the house slaves, you first send a hundred taels of silver to Yang Baihu, and save a few of your junior brothers, we must do enough things on the scene. If you do the rest, you can leave it to the teacher, and you go out to inform them and hold a meeting. ”
A few days later, a report from Chengfu Temple was sent to the main temple supervisor of Songshan Shaolin Temple, which elaborated on the difficulties faced by the temple. Since the establishment of Chengfukuji Temple, in order to protect the expenses of the temple, Chengfukuji Temple has been operating at a loss, and has been seriously insolvent and unable to maintain.
In addition, due to backward management, rigid system, and natural disasters, the maintenance fee and management fee remain high, and the ground rent collected cannot meet these basic expenses. It can be said that the 300 acres of Buddha fields in Xiaotiezhuang have become a heavy burden on Chengfu Temple, and they are out of breath.
It is hoped that Sanmon will take into account the practical difficulties of the local area and allow the temple to redispose of this part of the land, in other words, to allow the change of management mode and private contracting. At that time, a part of the grain rent payable by the temple will be paid every year, and the contractor will be responsible for the operation.
In view of the actual situation of Fotian now, the initial debt management, in order to encourage contracting, should be implemented in the first three years of rent-free, the last two years and a half rent policy / and at the end of the special note, this is the current popular model of Wusizang and Tianzhu, representing the development direction of Buddhism, I Shaolin should be in line with the sky, recognize the times, not mantis arms as a car.
The Shaolin Temple was furious after seeing it, and he was waiting to give an order to dismiss the abbot of Guangzhao first. Xiao Shami, a cronie beside him, hurriedly said, "Master should not be reckless, Guangzhao is a member of Qingliang'an, and now in the monks of Qingliang'an in the temple, there are also a few ordinary generations, and even an elder of the Hongzi generation. Besides, I think his motion is good, so let's just let him do it, and if it's done, we can also contract it in the temple. If it doesn't work, no one can speak for him, and then I will take his authority. ”
When the monk of the prison temple thought of the few pieces of land in his photo, he was quite moved in his heart, and nodded: "What you said makes sense, go back and put this motion on the meeting." ”
