Chapter 77: Who to visit needs to be carefully chosen
Things are not as simple as Zhao Jiaren thought, after listening to Zhao Jiaren's conditions, Jia Rudao just said, 'We'll discuss it after the year'. Then it's a drop-off.
With an unhappy stomach and a growling stomach, Zhao Jiaren returned to his home. At this time, it was already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and every household in Lin'an should have the atmosphere of New Year's Day, but judging from the situation on the street, this was not the case. Asked Daddy Lin'an why he looked so depressed, Zhao Zhizhuo sighed: "Alas, ......, this year's famine, the price of food did not drop until after autumn, where do the people still have so much spirit to celebrate New Year's Day." ”
"Oh." Zhao Jiaren then remembered that he seemed to have read a report on this matter.
Seeing his son's disapproving expression, Zhao Zhizhuo persuaded: "Jiaren, I think you might as well go and meet the Hubu Shangshu Ma Gong." ”
Zhao Jiaren knew that Ma Guangzu, when the Mongols invaded the south, there were two people who broke the family and became a country. One is Xiang Shibi, who donated millions of dollars, and the other is Ma Guangzu, who raised strong men with 10,000 taels of silver. Now that Xiang Shibi has died in prison, Ma Guangzu continues to be promoted. This is not because Ma Guangzu did anything, but because Ma Guangzu has always been a celebrity. Jia Rudao has no personal grudges with him, and he can't move Ma Guangzu.
For this kind of person, Zhao Jiaren really can't find a reason to make friends. Zhao Jiaren is only twenty-three years old now, and he is not yet at the level of a hero in Guangzhou. So Zhao Jiaren asked, "Why?" ”
Zhao Zhizhuo introduced Ma Guangzu's actions in this famine. There was a large amount of grain in King Rong's mansion, and Ma Guangzu went to see King Rong after knowing about it. Glory does not see him. So Ma Guangzu went to see him again the next day, and he was lying in the reception room of King Rong's mansion. When King Rong saw that Ma Guangzu was going to play a long-term war, he had to see him.
So Ma Guang's ancestor talked about the current shortage of food, and King Rong ostensibly admitted that he should provide disaster relief. So Ma Guangzu immediately took out the documents and told King Rong that there was grain in these grain shops. King Rong was forced to have no choice but to contribute money and grain to disaster relief with Ma Guangzu. It can be regarded as solving the problem of Lin'an this time.
After listening to Dad's introduction to the situation, Zhao Jiaren simply said decisively, "Dad." This kind of hot person is too many people want to stammer. For Ma Shangshu, there are not many people who stammer him, and there are many less people. For those who try to stammer with Ma Shangshu, I am probably a thorn in their side. I don't want to do this kind of thing that doesn't benefit me. ”
"Well said!" With a compliment, Mrs. Zhao walked into the room. Zhao Jiaren hurriedly got up to give up his seat to his mother, and Mrs. Zhao Shi Shiran sat in the position given by her son, and continued with approval: "San Lang, for people like your father, he has to make friends with those celebrities. And San Lang, you are a celebrity, so naturally you don't have to worry about no one coming to you. Ma Shangshu is a celebrity, but he doesn't ask for you at this time, and when you ask for something, it will be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and Ma Shangshu will not forget you. ”
After his mother finished teaching, Zhao Jiaren asked, "Does my mother have someone for me to meet?" ”
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, "I know that you very much want to be the governor of Fuzhou, if you can do this errand, the foundation laid in Quanzhou will naturally be connected." That's why I advise you to be at ease. Are you in a hurry, but are others in a hurry? I don't want you to meet anyone, as long as you sit at home, there will be no shortage of opportunities. ”
Seeing that it was a common parental dispute, Zhao Jiaren didn't talk nonsense, saying that after he knew, he said that he wanted to go out for a walk. After leaving the family battlefield, Zhao Jiaren was a little bored. I happened to see a few great monks walking by on the opposite side, and I remembered the great monks he sent to Sinhala.
At that time, because he didn't want to show off, Zhao Jiaren only looked for people in famous temples along the coast. At this time, I remembered Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, which is a treasure temple, and Zhao Jiaren just went to find out if there were any great monks in the temple who knew Sanskrit.
Lingyin Temple is not far from the West Lake, there are many people who make incense on New Year's Day, but there are not many people who make incense at the end of the year. When Zhao Jiaren entered the temple, he felt very quiet. At this time, the abbot Master Fahai had already received the famous assassin handed by Zhao Jiaren, and sent a monk to lead Zhao Jiaren into the temple. The monks in the temple did not have a shocked expression when they saw an official in a scarlet robe with a silverfish bag come in. You can see that they are indeed well-informed.
In the clean room, the handsome Master Fahai saw Zhao Jiaren come in, and saluted first, "I've been thinking, I don't know when Zhao Shizhu, who is famous in Ezhou, will come to the temple, but I didn't expect to see Zhao Shizhu so soon." ”
Zhao Jiaren also saluted, and then said with a smile: "Master, I'm not here to atone for my sins. Although I have killed more than 10,000 people in Ezhou, I have no guilt at all. I still eat well and sleep soundly. ”
Listening to Zhao Jiaren's statement, Master Fahai said with a smile: "I don't seek good results in my life, I only love to kill people and set fires." This is Zhao Shizhu's son. I learned from the abbot of Tiantong Temple that I thought that Zhao Shizhu was a little young and vigorous, but now I don't see it. ”
Zhao Jiaren didn't expect his son to become popular in the monk world, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Since he didn't know what to say, Zhao Jiaren simply went straight to the topic, "I didn't come this time to worship the Buddha, but to ask the master a few questions. ”
Master Fahai invited Zhao Jiaren to sit down, and then asked, "I don't know what's going on?" ”
"Master, do you know how many of the Buddhists are proficient in Sanskrit?" Zhao Jiaren raised his own question.
Master Fahai was stunned for a moment, this question was really a bit too unexpected. Since Master Xuanzang learned the scriptures, Mahayana Buddhism in Middle-earth quickly completed the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and Buddhism began to be rapidly localized. As a result, Sanskrit has become less important in Buddhism. Since there are Buddhist scriptures in their native Chinese, who would really want to spend so much effort to learn a foreign language except for those who really love Buddhism. And the people who really love a certain industry are a minority, and the same is true in Buddhism, a large number of monks are just trying to live a good life.
Seeing Master Fahai's expression, Zhao Jiaren simply lowered the difficulty of the question, "I don't know how many monks are proficient in Sanskrit in Lingyin Temple." ”
"This ...... He had studied Sanskrit. Several of Lao Gu's brothers also know a little Sanskrit. "Master Fahai didn't mean to lie. However, he quickly asked, "I don't know what kind of mastery method Zhao Zhizhou is talking about?" ”
"After arriving in Tianzhu, I was able to use Sanskrit to talk and talk to local people who knew Sanskrit." Zhao Jiaren said his own standards. Among the great monks who went to Sinhala, the leader was a Zen master named Zhending. Although the group of people claimed to know Sanskrit, Zhao Jiaren had no confidence in those people at all. If you can communicate in Sanskrit, you need to use it on a daily basis. It is impossible for those people to use Sanskrit conversation in the temple on a normal day.
Master Fahai raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Jiaren, and said in a tone that understood the reason: "It's difficult for Zhao Zhizhou to send a fleet to Tianzhu?" ”
Zhao Jiaren was stunned, he originally thought that the monk world had spread his son because of an epiphany there.
