Chapter 387 - Establishing Rules
Huiming's face was filled with righteous indignation, and after he even called out his guilt, he said to Wang Feng: "Commander Wang, none of them are official disciples of my Yunling Temple, but a little novice who wants to worship my Buddha. ∮ ∮ ∮ ∮ said, www.
Unexpectedly, these people are so bold and reckless, using the signboard of Buddhism to wantonly collect money, this is the disaster of the old man's lax discipline, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed, my Yunling Temple's reputation has been ruined, the old man is ashamed of the Buddha, ashamed of the ancestors of the past dynasties, Amitabha! ”
'Huh? Temporary workers? Monk temporary worker? Wang Feng was stunned, and couldn't help but show a playful look.
Seeing that Wang Feng didn't blame, Huiming breathed a sigh of relief, and then pointed sharply: "What are you still standing for, why don't you leave quickly?" I don't want to see you! ”
"Huh? Yes, yes, yes! "Those monks also came back to their senses, and they were busy running out, and they also realized that they had made a big disaster today, at this time, the thirty-six plans were the best plan, you know, the Democratic Alliance Army killed the heads of people in Hangzhou, and if they didn't leave, who knew if they would also bloom in the back of their heads?
Wang Feng stretched out his hand to stop: "Stop!" ”
Several monks immediately stopped, and Huiming pretended to ask, "Commander Wang, what are you?"
Wang Feng smiled coldly: "Who are you guys?" By whom? Now confess truthfully, it's nothing more than bullying and dominating the market, it's not a big crime, I advise you, don't block the disaster for others but get yourself in! ”
The monks hesitated.
Seeing this frame, how could Huiming not understand that Wang Feng was coming for himself. Immediately, his mind was racing, and he knew that he couldn't be good today. It's better to fight, with the high moral and respected status of the Yunlin Temple. Maybe it can make Wang Feng throw a mouse bogey.
Gritting his teeth, Hui Ming shouted: "Commander Wang, the old man is willing to accept the crime of not being noticed, why do you have to fabricate another crime?" Yes, my Yunlin Temple has saved a lot of merit money by selling incense, but what is the use of asking for money from our monks in the courtyard? Isn't it used to give relief to the poor or repair the golden body of the Buddha? Besides, that day Wang Rulai incense was also donated voluntarily by you, and no one forced you, so it's not a big deal. The old man will give you back the merits! ”
Wang Feng didn't speak, he looked at him coldly, the monks were also full of struggle, and the pilgrims gradually gathered over, pointing and pointing from afar, some muttering about Wang Feng's fuss, and some regretting that Huiming's evening was not guaranteed, in short, there was a sense of sympathy between the lines.
Huiming has confidence. He knew that the previous call was too harsh, and he was about to say some soft words to Wang Feng to get down the stairs, but at this moment, dense footsteps suddenly sounded outside. Hundreds of soldiers poured in!
Unlike Wang Feng and the others who were empty-handed, these soldiers were all armed with guns, and they broke in. The temple fell silent instantly.
Only then did Wang Feng say: "I'll give you one last chance, if you don't tell you honestly." That's not going to be enough, I have to invite you to the barracks. Naturally, there will be people who will tell you the truth. ”
Suddenly, the faces of those monks changed greatly, the military camp is a dark and violent place in the impression of ordinary people, basically going in vertically and horizontally, and they can't even get out again, they are just ordinary monks, they have no power and no power, who will bother to fish them out? At least Huiming won't, maybe he will buy off the relevant personnel to do it, and there is no proof of death!
"Plop!" The monk who sold incense to Wang Feng immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said loudly: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, the little monks all confess, we are all disciples of Huiming Zen Master, a few years ago by the master and uncle's assignment, take turns to sell incense, each sold, we have a five-cent rebate, just take the incense sold to you as an example, it can fall to five hundred taels of silver, over the years, our average income per person has thousands of taels, in fact, we don't hide from adults, the small ones are nearby mountain people, come to Yunlin Temple to earn some money, and after a few years, it will be vulgar, Go home and marry a daughter-in-law to live, we are really not bad people, please be gracious. ”
Another monk knelt down and revealed: "My lord, selling incense is just the first dish, and you have to donate money when you enter the hall, although you are not forced, but the huge merit box is placed there, and there are hints from the senior brother intentionally or unintentionally, don't put some silver, are you embarrassed to kowtow to the Buddha?" Generally, it is less than five taels, more than tens of hundreds of taels, although the incense of Yunlin Temple is not prosperous, but you have to give money when you come, and the daily income is not a few. ”
"My lord, there are uncles and uncles in the backyard who tell fortunes, so that's what is called ruthlessness" For a while, everyone rushed to expose it.
Huiming's face turned blue and white for a while, and the direction of public opinion also changed.
"A small novice has an income of 1,000 taels of silver, which makes us embarrassed, the dignified Buddha Gate Holy Land, actually hollowed out his mind to defraud money, if it wasn't for Commander Wang's point breaking, we would still be kept in the dark!"
"Last year, I took my lady to visit Guanyin, and I was deceived into five hundred taels, and I haven't been pregnant until now, these bald donkeys are really hateful!"
"What are you? The year before last, I took my children to calculate whether I could take the high school township test, and the old monk Huiyuan said that it was a mess, it was just in the bag, I donated a thousand taels with a hot head, but it turned out to be a failure, at the time I only thought it was insincere, and now it seems that this is simply a money cheating thing! ”
"The old monk Huiming looks at his kind eyebrows, but in fact, he is like a ghost, and if he doesn't kill him, it's not enough to vent the anger of the people!"
"Plop!" With a sound, Huiming also held on, knelt down and begged: "Commander Wang, spare your life, the old man is dizzy, and he is confused for a while, ask Commander Wang to be gracious, and the old man dares to promise the Buddha that in addition to getting some money, he has not committed a traitor, please Commander Wang be gracious!" ”
Huiming's old tears were full of tears, his face was full of remorse, Yang Shuijiao couldn't help but pull Wang Feng: "Although these bald donkeys are hateful, they are just swindling money, and their crimes are not to death, give a lesson, I think they shouldn't dare next time." ”
"Yes, yes, Commander Wang, we don't dare anymore." As soon as they heard someone listen to their pleading, the monks pleaded one after another.
Wang Feng didn't squeak, just looked at the door, and the female soldier who was taken away had already rushed back and saluted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, after verification, Lingyin Temple has a total of 21,000 acres of land in Hangzhou and Jiaxing!" ”
"Good!" Wang Feng nodded: "You are a monk temple, what do you want to do?" Huiming, hand over the title deed! ”
"This" The corners of Huiming's mouth twitched violently, the field property is the foundation of a temple, there are thousands of temples in the world, except for the mountain and wild temples that are not recognized by the court, basically every temple has more or less field property.
Lingyin Temple is located in an economically developed area, there are many ways to collect money, but not every temple has such conditions, in most cases, the monks of the whole temple still point to the field to live, and charity activities such as relief also rely on the output of the field, although the Lingyin Temple is rich in oil, but the field property is confiscated, it is equivalent to the duckweed without roots, it is to shake the fundamental!
To put it mildly, I'd rather hand over the money than give up the property!
Gritting his teeth, Huiming did not give up and said: "Commander Wang don't want to deceive people too much, my Yunlin Temple's field property began in the Song Dynasty, Tiansheng eight years (1030), Emperor Renzong because of the needs of my temple monk porridge, will be located in Hangzhou Jiaxing two places of fertile land 13,000 acres, given as a temple property, after the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperors of the past dynasties have not recovered, but another reward, generation after generation accumulation, there are 21,000 acres of land.
Lao Gan Li Ling Zhi dizzy, ashamed of the Buddha and the ancestors of the past dynasties, willing to bear a qiē punishment, but the temple property is not owned by the old man, the whole temple nearly 1,000 monks rely on the temple property to live, and ask Commander Wang to inquire, I Yunlin Temple every year from time to time to give porridge to the poor, has become a tradition in Hangzhou, but also quite popular among the people, if there is no temple property, how to help? Please think twice about Commander Wang. ”
"Shut up!" Wang Feng smiled coldly: "That's a good thing, helping the poor?" How many times a year do you Yunlin Temple give porridge? If you had lived on the porridge you gave home, the poor would have starved to death thousands of times, and the so-called relief to the poor is nothing more than a means for you to gain fame and reputation!
One of the goals of our Democratic Alliance is to eradicate poverty, you Buddhists, should not use guò small favors to gain fame, but should cooperate with the government, think about what the people think, anxious about what the people are anxious about, the so-called give people fish is better than give people to fish, instead of giving a trip to porridge every once in a while, it is better to divide the land, so that the cultivator has his land, come to the people, go in to search, and search the land deed and distribute it to the tenant farmers! ”
"Yes!" More than a dozen soldiers walked away quickly.
"Commander Wang, be merciful!" Huiming stretched out his hands and shouted in despair, but the soldiers didn't pay attention to it at all, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Wang Feng turned his head again and said: "A few of you, bring all the monks, and today I will set rules for the Buddhism in the world!" ”
"Yes!" Another hundred soldiers rushed into the depths.
The pilgrims gathered more and more, and there were hundreds of people one after another, everyone knew that the matter was big, but no one sympathized with the Lingyin Temple, and they all felt that they deserved it, and they happily guessed what rules Wang Feng would set for the Buddhist Gate, and the dozen or so monks led by Huiming were paralyzed on the ground, their faces were pale, sweating profusely, and their hearts were full of endless remorse.
After about fifteen minutes, under the escort of heavily armed soldiers, monks of all sizes brought out, a total of more than 800 people, and everyone's face was full of panic.
Wang Feng swept slightly, his heart was very disappointed, although Buddhism is known for its sleekness, but in fact, there is still a backbone, he watched when he was a child, such as "Shaolin Temple", "Kapok Robe" and other movies that praise Buddhism, in which the monk's spirit of dedication to righteousness makes him remember deeply, and he is also full of admiration for Buddhism, only as he grows older, he has witnessed many ugly phenomena of Buddhism, and this admiration has gradually dissipated and faded.
Originally, Wang Feng thought that it would be better for a monk of more than 100 years to be unaffected by the market economy, but he still looked wilted, and there were many fat-headed and big-eared people, how could such Buddhism go to the world? (To be continued......) R527
