The person headed by the Buddhist family is the abbot of Qinglong Temple, Master Kukai, who was familiar with the temple street, and the largest Dacien Temple in Wannian County also sent an elder, and the recommended temple of the small wild goose pagoda also came to a guest hall master.

The Taoist leader Dugu Xinci doesn't know and is too lazy to know, and the real person Zhong Licuo of Zhongnan Mountain, whom he is familiar with, is still in the Far East, and it is estimated that he is about to return to Beijing, and he doesn't know if he recognizes himself.

There is also an old immortal Sima Chengzhen, that is the old immortal, and the county-level meeting still invites him.

A few people in the merchant are familiar with many people, not to mention Gudra's own housekeeper, the housekeeper of Xinglou's own housekeeper, the chef of Shengdaofang's own kitchen, Qinglongfang's own royal bookstore, the steward of the Wei family firm is familiar with the relationship between Wei Erlang, and there are also a number of cooperation, the Zheng family firm sent a manager who he didn't know, and I heard that Zheng Sleeve became the head office shopkeeper again, but they are now focusing on the west market, and the east market is average.

Dugu Xinci greeted everywhere, and Master Kukai and others also talked happily, and the Taoist people suddenly felt bad, and regretted how they didn't send a few more viewers over.

The merchants were even more surprised that this scholar, who had only entered Beijing from the Far East last year, actually knew so many monks and laymen in Chang'an.

The third courtyard of Wannian County Party is the second hall of the county government, which is also five rooms and seven frames, which is only slightly shorter than the previous one.

Dugu Xinci finally sat down after the public case in the hall, and walked through the monks and laymen who were present today with a smile, although it was a cold winter, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone also felt like a spring breeze.

"You can come to the county party today to discuss government affairs. I am very pleased, and I would like to thank you all for "Dugu Xinci's opening remarks."

"It's not hard", "it should be", "Mingfu is hard", and it is good to have your own family among the people, and there are many people who support it.

"You should know that a certain invitation to you is for the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival," Dugu Xinci directly cut to the point, "A certain new post has only been three or five days, but I have also heard the news that Wannian County was suppressed by Chang'an County in the Lantern Festival last year"

"Of course, Chang'an has been the Yantang County Government for 10,000 years, and it also belongs to Jingzhao, and there is no distinction between high and poor, but there are some words that are not said, I just want to ask you: Can you be convinced?"

"Not convinced," Wang Wulang shouted.

"Ten thousand years is the first county in the world, the first of thousands of counties in Yantang," Feng usually described indifferently.

"You have this spirit, Ben Ming Mansion is very pleased" Dugu Xinci said in an official tone, "As for how to innovate and be surprising at the Lantern Festival, I will discuss it later, and now I have a few words to talk to you merchants, please wait for Master Kukai"

"Ming Mansion, please make it clear" The steward of Wei Mansion said with a smile, silver money, this is the meat.

"Mingfu doesn't have to be polite" Master Kukai also announced the Buddha's name, it seems that Dugu Mingfu is difficult today and then easy, and the cost of collecting the repair of the canal is much more difficult than the fee for raising funds for the Lantern Festival.

"You know that a certain person also has a function in Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Industry jointly signed to repair the Cao Canal, and a certain person also occupies a seat in the joint signature, so I have a good understanding of the matter of the imperial court's repair of the Cao Canal."

"You are all people of insight, Kyoto has suffered from the bottleneck of water transportation in recent years, so I will not repeat it, this repair, at least is to double the capacity of water transportation" Dugu Xinci smiled and promised to everyone.

"A certain once said, Cao Yun benefits the country and the people, but the most profitable is also the merchants, adhering to the principle of who benefits and who dedicates, the imperial court according to the law to the majority of merchants to levy the canal repair fees, there is no blame, a certain here and the focus of the people is not these, a certain has been sparse in the court and the sages, will be in each ferry node to establish a warehouse building, half of the share to tax and donation amount"

When the merchants heard this, they were in an uproar. The ferry warehouse has always been state-owned, controlled in the hands of the Taichang Temple Ministry of Works, the merchants have no choice but to rent, if there is a Yongye Mansion in the ferry, that feeling is not too good.

"Regardless of other counties, a certain Wannian county, as long as it is a county order, the amount of taxes paid and the amount of donations will be announced, and enthusiastic people will be sincerely invited to participate in the management, a certain dare not guarantee absolute justice, but will try to ensure fairness" Dugu Xinci continued to tempt.

"Dugu Ming Mansion can also be donated to build a mansion?" Master Kukai asked suddenly.

"Exactly, a certain also suggested that the households should donate money to participate in the repair of Caoyun and compensate for it, and the construction of a warehouse is one of them."

"And how is this amount determined?" Master Kukai asked again.

"A certain summoning of people to come is also for this matter, you can first elect a quota of personnel to form a preparatory committee, and formulate relevant strategies" Dugu Xinci also threw out a strategy, this repair matter needs your participation, and the distribution of profits can also participate.

The second hall of Wannian County is like ice water into the oil pot, and the chirp is like a downtown area.

Dugu Xinci held a white porcelain teacup and drank tea unhurriedly, this monttop stone flower is really good, fresh and fragrant.

Dugu Xinci took three or four sips of tea, and the hall was still a little calm, and everyone's eyes were staring at the new Ming Mansion in Wannian County.

"I don't know when I'll pay my taxes?" Someone asked.

"The tax amount distributed by the household is 200,000 yuan, and there are thousands of merchants in Wannian County, each with a tax amount according to the ninth grade, and the donation is not limited, and it is done according to its ability. Wannian County will also cut off the surplus of 20%, and Wannian County will set up warehouses and warehouses at Changlepo, Baqiaodu, Huangqu, Longshouqu and other ferries. The specific strategy needs to be discussed after the establishment of the preparatory committee"

"What is the strategy for the establishment of the preparatory committee?" Buddhism Master Kukai Yichen was still in his heart and asked.

"One is to choose a person with high morality, and the other is to set the amount of donations, and the maximum amount of donations is 1,000 guan" Dugu Xin is very proud to see that the people's hearts are available.

"That Qinglong Temple donated a thousand guan" Kukai Master cut the railway, and Buddhism can also be a part of the world.

"Master Kukai, the Qinglong Temple also needs to be a residence?" Dugu Xinci was puzzled.

"Although a certain class jumped out of the Three Realms, he also has the heart of serving the country and the people" Master Kukai is awe-inspiring.

Buddhism, every year pilgrims and believers worship that can be comparable to the Wei family firm, as well as the harvest of vocational fields in Gyeonggi counties also need to be sent to Chang'an, there is a warehouse at the ferry, not to mention convenient and fast, but also for pilgrims from afar to provide a clean place to rest.

"That's good, Wannian County will open a place for tax payment and donation in the afternoon, and you will work hard" Dugu Xinci thanked him.

"It's just that Cangcao is paying household tax and land tax recently, and the trivial matters are cumbersome, and I can't spare manpower" The river record of Wannian County on the side was dumbfounded, but he didn't forget to remind his own Ming Mansion.

"Well, that's a problem? However, isn't there a household department? Ask for help" Dugu Ming Mansion instructed, Jiang He Record immediately went to sort out the documents, and personally went to the Imperial City Household Department for help.

"Although the Preparatory Committee has no office and no signature, well, let's set up a temporary acting office in this side room, so can someone of insight recommend himself as the chairman of the Preparatory Committee?" Dugu Xinci asked with a smile again.

"Dugu Ming Mansion is the best candidate for the chairman of the Preparatory Committee," Feng Ping shouted, and everyone also ordered to applaud in agreement.

"This is a righteous act of the people, and a certain does not interfere with practice, so let's hang an honorary position, and you must elect a township old man to take care of the practice" Dugu Xinci resigned.

After some commotion, five acting people of the preparatory committee were finally elected, Master Kuhai, Wei Family Steward, Feng Pingping, Wang Wulang, Haotianguan as the director, as well as Zuo Xuande, a virtuous and famous merchant in the West Market, and several others were interested in sending staff to participate, so the public was enthusiastic, and many of the articles of association also had rough plans.

After nearly two hours of commotion, someone finally proposed that the Lantern Festival could also be co-ordinated and resettled by the Preparatory Committee, and there was no objection.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is a grand event in Kyoto, and the repair of the Cao Canal is a great cause for the benefit of the country and the people, and the two complement each other, but there is also a discussion, and the two things should not be confused. At noon, can you bother the Star Picking Tower to prepare a vegetarian feast to congratulate the establishment of the Preparatory Committee? ”

Everyone applauded, and Feng Ping, the steward of the Star Picking Building, had no objections.

Dugu Xinci took the lead, and led the preparatory committee to move forward, and everyone followed, and after two squares, they came to Chang'an Zhuque Street.

Suzaku Street, is the north-south street of Chang'an, Kyoto, also known as Tianmen Street, referred to as Tianjie, it extends from the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City of Chang'an City, is the central axis street of Chang'an City, is the street where the saints of the past dynasties went to the south of the city to worship the sky.

Suzaku Street is the north-south main street of Chang'an City, about 100 steps wide and 750 steps long. Chang'an City is divided into two parts, east and west, the east of the street is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the west of the street is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County. With this as the boundary, it extends from the Mingde Gate in the middle of the south of the city, and a straight road goes straight to Nanshan Shitouyu.

The east belongs to Wannian County, there should be fifty-five squares, because the southeast corner of the city Qujiang occupies two squares, so the actual fifty-three squares; The western part belongs to Chang'an County, and there is a city of 55 squares.

Chang'an is arranged in the north and south of thirteen squares, symbolizing that there is a leap in a year; There are four squares in the east and west to the south of the imperial city, symbolizing the four seasons of the year; To the south of the Imperial City, there are nine squares in the north and south on both sides of Suzaku Street, symbolizing the so-called "five cities and nine kui" recorded in the book "Zhou Li".

Haotian Guanke Hall director Qingyun Dao Chang told the feng shui pattern of Zhuque Street, Chang'an City was built in the second year of the former Sui Kaihuang, when the left servant shot Gao Gong for the construction of the new capital of the eunuch, the prince left the concubine Yu Wenkai for the deputy supervisor, Taifu Shaoqing Zhang Xuan for the supervisor, the three of them are good Taoism, after the completion, "the law of heaven and earth", the emperor is respected, and the hundred bureaucrats are served.

Dugu Xinci listened with a smile, and Master Kukai and other Buddhists also listened with an open heart, and the Buddhist path at this moment was very harmonious.

The nine squares west of Zhuque Street from north to south are: Xingdao, Kaihua, Anren, Guangfu, Jingshan, Lanling, Kaiming, Baoning, and Anyi. There are Taoist temples in each square, the recommended temple that occupies the land of Anren Guangfu and the Haotian Temple that occupies the land of Baoning and the rest are different in size.

"The principle of convenience has been nearby, and the temples belonging to each square have set up a lantern display place near Suzaku Street. And reserve a gap in the land and merchants to arrange the lantern show, Wannian County has occupied one or two squares of the place to arrange the exhibition "Dugu Xinci pointed to the street and narrated" specific planning in the afternoon detailed discussion, Wannian County has pre-raised thousands of funds, although Chang'an has Wang Yuanbao in charge, some do not need to compete with the luxury, need to Qingqi as the key"

"In the past year, the lantern exhibition, the layout of Wannian County is plain, this year there is Dugu Mingfu in the town, there must be whimsical ideas, and I hope to give it" Master Kukai is also a tide of words.

"The lantern exhibition is year after year, the lamp tower, the lamp tree, the light wheel are not surprising, some do not need luxury, and the artistic conception should be the key" Dugu Xin talked eloquently.

Everyone nodded yes.

"The theme of the exhibition of Wannian County and County Party this year is the matter of Caoqu, and the historical functions of Caoqu are all the theme of the lanterns, which does not need to be luxurious, and the main purpose of the statement is "Dugu Xinci explained."

"What Dugu Mingfu said is yes, well, Qinglong Temple is weak, how about a certain theme of Journey to the West?" Master Kukai drew inferences.

"Journey to the West?" Dugu's heart is like ten thousand black water horses wading through, a certain copyright?

"It is the masterpiece of Dugu Mingfu, a certain familiar reading several times, quite a gain, Dugu Mingfu's Journey to the West is a Buddhist classic" Kukai Master said, and several other Buddhist stewards are also good.

"It's just that there is only half of it in the hands of a certain person, I don't know if Dugu Mingfu can have a complete book?" Master Kukai asked again.

"Okay, I'm going to finish the book with you tomorrow," Dugu sighed, urging the change to be as fierce as a tiger.

"Journey to the West is also a Taoist economy, and Haotianguan will also take this as the theme" Haotianguan is not to be outdone.

Journey to the West tells the story of Xuanzang, a disciple of Buddhism, learning scriptures from the West, but it also has the scriptures of enlightenment and cultivation.

Tang Seng Xuanzang is naturally a disciple of Buddhism, but Sun Wukong was born in Taoism, and his teacher Bodhi Ancestor is a Taoist patriarch, which is also full of cases of Buddhism and Taoism conflicts, but both Buddhism and Taoism have a lot of complaints about Dugu Xinci, but they are helpless, after all, their main purpose is in line with the two scriptures, and it is more to promote the deeds of the two families as the core.

"Journey to the West is broad and profound, there are many scenes, how about a certain group of people who have their own strengths and do not interfere with each other?" Master Kukai did not want to start the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism at this time, he read through the Journey to the West, and had a lot of experience in the righteousness of promoting Buddha and suppressing the Tao, and also knew that Dugu Xinci is now a county order for ten thousand years.

The Taoist people nodded and said yes, the Buddhists gathered in front of the Wannian County in the last year, showing a strong heritage, and the Taoists were quite jealous, and the initiator was also this Wannian County Ming Mansion, which shows that his mind is unpredictable, and it is better to be obedient.

Since the spread of Journey to the West, everyone in the three realms of monks and laymen has taken it as a surprise, and all kinds of immortal spells in it are praised by the world, but Buddhism has studied the strict system set up by Dugu Xinci from it.

Tiangong Taoist system, the sequence of Buddhas in the West Tianjialan Temple, is reasonable, can be searched from the respective classics to the root, quite rigorous, but set in Dacheng, the precedent of the two families, is very exciting for the two families, all kinds of supplements can be combined, check and fill the gaps have a special person to attach.

"It's wonderful, the Buddhism and Taoism in the county for 10,000 years work together for the benefit of Yan and Tang, and the good is great," Dugu Xin praised.

"Then how should such a certain business set up the exhibition, and hope that the Ming Mansion will point out" Zuo Xuande, the richest man in Wannian County, asked.

"What is the main business of Uncle Zuo?" Dugu Xinci asked.

"The old man makes a living from colorful silk jewelry," Zuo Xuande replied.

"Do you have ready-to-wear?"

"Ready-to-wear? What the Ming Mansion said was that the robes had been made? ”

"Exactly, if there is a ready-to-wear garment, you can take it out and display it, take people or wooden frames as a model, put it in front of the lamp, there will be good things to watch, and it is possible to make a deal on the spot."

"Dugu Mingfu's thoughts are really incredible. The old man worshipped "Zuo Xuande thought carefully and was very happy."

"What about the Star Picking Tower?" Feng usually asked with a blank look in his eyes.

"Haha, you're hungry, why don't you go to the Star Picking Tower and sit down and talk in detail?" Dugu Xinci invited everyone to solve the problem of hunger in the five internal organs.

There is turmoil in the Three Realms, just because ignorance is endless. A thought is not born, the heart is clear, there is no going, there is no coming, there is no birth and death
