Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the effort of taking such a lot of effort is to introduce the benefits of seaweed to everyone here, and in the Buddhist saying, there must be a cause and an effect, so there must be a reason for doing so.

I saw that I heard Zhao Yan's question, but there was a wry smile on my face, and I put my hands together and said with a Buddhist salute: "What the king of the county said is good, the little monk has spent so much effort to recommend seaweed to you, the real reason is very simple, that is, I hope everyone can remember the deliciousness of seaweed and buy more seaweed in the future." ”

"Purchase...... Buying seaweed? Hearing the reason that Kong said, not only Zhao Yan was stunned, but the surrounding Su Shi and others were also stunned, they never thought that a monk like Kong would finally give such a philistine answer?

"Senior brother, if you want to expand the Xiangji Temple, you don't have to sell seaweed, right?" Monk Liyuan was also shocked, and after thinking about it, he could only come up with such a reason. As for the others, they are even more confused, it is said that the current fame is empty, if you want to expand the Xiangji Temple, I am afraid that there will be countless dignitaries and nobles vying to donate money, where do you need to do business in person?

In the face of everyone's doubts, he saw that he once again saluted with his hands and said: "The little monk is not for himself, but for those suffering coastal fishermen, you can buy more seaweed, they can also have more income, reduce the number of times they go to sea, so that there are fewer casualties......"

Speaking of which, I finally told him the reason why he recommended seaweed so hard, it turned out that the year before last, he went out to travel. In the end, he came to the beach in Quanzhou, where he found that many fishermen were living in hardship, sick but had no money for treatment, and happened to be proficient in medicine, so he lived by the sea, helping the fishermen to heal their diseases, and at the same time promoting Buddhism to these fishermen.

It was also during this time that he slowly learned about the suffering of coastal fishermen, because the land by the sea was barren and not suitable for cultivation at all. So these fishermen along the coast all make a living from fishing. However, the sea is ruthless, and fishing depends on luck to eat, even the most experienced fishermen, sometimes go out to sea for a few days and get nothing. In addition, there are various taxes to be paid. As a result, most of the fishermen are living in a very difficult situation. Otherwise, there would be no problem of having a sick person who has no money for treatment.

In addition, fishermen can only rely on their simple fishing boats to drift on the sea every day, and if they are not careful, the boats will be destroyed and people will die, and almost all the fishing villages along the coast are more women than men. The main reason is that the casualty rate of men going to sea is too high, and even in some villages, except for the elderly and children, almost all of them are women, and every household has a tablet of their own man, so you can see how much risk it takes to go to sea.

Speaking of the great risks that fishermen had to take when they went to sea, he could not help but sigh and say: "When I was treating the people there by the sea, I met a sick benefactor, who was over seventy years old at the time, and according to her, she married seven husbands in her life, each of whom died at sea, and the longest husband with whom she lived was only five years, and she had eight children with five of them, six of whom were boys, and only one of the six boys lived to be thirty years old. The remaining five also died at sea, and the last one was alive because he injured his leg when he went to sea, and he couldn't go to sea again, and now her grandchildren are also struggling at sea, and I don't know when they will die at sea? ”

After Su Shi and the others heard the tragic story of the old woman, they all showed shocked looks, they really couldn't imagine that there would be such a tragedy in this world? Even Zhao Yan, who was accustomed to hearing all kinds of tragic stories in later generations, was a little moved when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine how strong the psychological endurance of that ordinary woman needed to come out of the cruel blows again and again, maybe this is the resilience of the ancient working people, and it is precisely by relying on this resilience that the people of the Central Plains can stand up again from the blows again and again.

Zhao Yan and the others had not yet woken up from the above tragic story, so they heard the empty time and said in a somewhat sad tone again: "Since I realized the tragic fate of those fishermen, I have made a great wish in front of the Buddha to help these fishermen get rid of the fate of dying at sea. ”

When he said this, he paused for a moment and then said: "It's just that my ability is limited, I have lived by the sea for nearly a year, and this is the ingredient of seaweed, which is mainly produced by the sea, it is very safe when collected, and the yield is also very large, the most important thing is that the taste of seaweed is very good, but unfortunately in addition to the fishermen on the seaside, few people eat it, so in this case, I thought of using my own strength to promote seaweed, if the people in 6 are willing to spend money to buy seaweed, then the fishermen will have an extra way to make money, While it is not possible to stop all fishermen from going to sea, it can at least reduce the number of times fishermen go to sea, thereby saving the lives of some fishermen. ”

After finishing speaking, he stood there with his hands folded and bowed his head silently, as if he was still immersed in the tragic fate of the coastal fishermen. Zhao Yan and the others were also infected by the tragic fate of the fishermen at this time, and they all lowered their heads and didn't know what to say?

"Master Kong made such a grand wish, it really makes this king both admired and ashamed, the matter of laver can't just let Master Kong contribute, this king will also do his best to help the master promote laver!" In the end, it was Zhao Yan who spoke first, although he knew that it was a bit naïve to want the fishermen to get rid of their original fate just by relying on seaweed, but it was better to do it than not to do it well, and the fishermen could make an extra penny on laver, and they would not need to earn their lives at sea for this penny in the future.

"Count me as one, although Su is not talented, but he will write a few articles, telling the world about the suffering of fishermen, and the broad mind of Master Kong!" Su Shi also spoke at this time, and his words were immediately agreed by Su Zhe and Li Gonglin.

"Although the slave family is a woman, they also admire the mind of the empty master very much, although the slave family can't help much, but it is okay to buy more seaweed, and then let the sisters who know each other recommend it to the guests." Xue Ning'er also stood up at this time and said, although she was a little greedy for money, she never hesitated in this kind of righteousness.

"And us, I don't have other skills, but when it comes to eating and drinking, I am an expert, and I am also the most familiar with the dignitaries and nobles in Tokyo City, and the matter of recommending seaweed to them is wrapped up in me and Brother Huyan!" When Cao Song saw Xue Ning'er speak, he also immediately stood up and said, he would never lose face in front of Xue Ning'er.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has a greedy mouth, and he is also well-known in Buddhism, and he should be able to introduce seaweed to some famous temples." The great monk Liyuan also said at this time, the Buddhism of the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, especially there are some extremely influential temples in various places, if these temples take the lead in eating seaweed, it will definitely drive the local atmosphere.

Seeing that Zhao Yan and others expressed their willingness to help, this made Sora also very grateful and put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, with your help, the ambition that the little monk made at the beginning will definitely come true!" ”

"Saving people is the degree, I don't know how many fishermen will live because of you in the future, junior brother, you have made such great merits, Buddhism will definitely prosper because of you!" At this time, the fat monk of Yuan also stood up excitedly and said, as a famous monk in Buddhism, he also bears the heavy responsibility of expanding Buddhism, and now he sees that his junior brother is not only erudite, but also has such a mind, and he will definitely become the leader of Buddhism in the future.

Regarding Yuan's words, Likong said very modestly: "Senior brother is serious, junior brother only wants to be worthy of his heart, as for the countless fishermen who will survive because of seaweed in the future, it is also inseparable from the help of everyone here." ”

But at this moment, Yan Yuru, who had not spoken all the time, stood up gently, looked at the sky with eyes like water, and said lightly: "The master has made countless fishermen live because of this, and the heart of compassion can show the sun and the moon, but I wonder if the master can separate your compassion and save the little woman from the sea of suffering?" ”

"Wow~" Zhao Yan and the others were in an uproar when they heard this, Yan Yuru had been sitting there coldly since she came in just now and didn't speak, until she softened her expression after she came in, but she still didn't speak, but she didn't expect her to open her mouth, and when she opened her mouth, it was so direct, according to the rumors that Li Gonglin said before, this is almost equivalent to Yan Yuru confessing to the air in front of everyone, such courage is not something that ordinary women can have.

After hearing Yan Yuru's words, the face of Gujing Wubo also showed a look of struggle, and after a while, he put his hands together again and said: "Amitabha, the world has its own fate, since the little monk escaped into the empty door, he will have no chance with the red dust, and in the future, he will find an ancient temple in the deep mountains, and the ancient Buddha of the green lantern will accompany him for a long time!" ”

After Yan Yuru finished saying the above words, although she tried her best to maintain a calm expression, her eyes couldn't help but show a little hope, but when she heard the empty words, Yan Yuru felt like she had been hit hard, and she stood there with an extremely disappointed expression on her face, and two lines of tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, which quietly fell down Ruyu's face.

Seeing this, Su Shi and Liyuan and others next to them couldn't help but sigh, in their opinion, Likong and Yan Yuru are indeed a pair of beautiful people, but it is a pity that Kongyi is dedicated to the Buddha and actually rejects Yan Yuru's affection, which is really regrettable.

At this time, Zhao Yan saw the sad scene in front of him, but suddenly thought of a poem that was widely circulated in later generations, and couldn't help but chant at the moment: "I was worried about hurting the Sanskrit line, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city when I entered the mountain." The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to it! (To be continued!)
