Since ancient times, temples have had various restrictions and rules for women, and those who are serious cannot stay in the temple, so even Zhu Yingying, who was fooled by Nanyan, only chanted and prayed in Lingyin Temple during the day, and went to the nearby Fajing Temple to stay at night, but obviously tonight was going to make an exception, because Lu Wang was going to stay on the mountain.

Although Lu Wang does not believe in Buddhism, but also respects the customs of others, now it is late, it is dinner time, take out some vegetarian ingredients and hand them to Zhu Yingying's maid to take care of on the spot, for his golden finger, these people around him have long been accustomed to it, who does not know that this uncle is a fairy, even if he takes out a mountain is not surprised.

But there were different people at the scene, such as the monks, especially the skinny old monk who was helped by Nan Yan, his eyes were shining and he kept staring at Lu Wang, and his eyes always flashed when Lu Wang took out something like a trick in his hand.

"Zen Master Hongnin?" Lu Wang had actually noticed this old monk for a long time, but when the monk entered the hospital, he was telling Zhu Yingying and a few maids what to cook for a while, so he ignored him, and he didn't turn around and stare at the old monk and smile until Zhu Yingying and the others went to work.

Obviously, the old monk was a little surprised by Lu Wang's name: "The poor monk has seen the prince, and the prince knows the poor monk?" Between speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Nan Yan who was supporting him next to him, Nan Yan understood what he meant, and shook his head gently, the meaning was very clear, I didn't say anything, the boss of my family is so awesome.

It seems that Meng is right, Lu Wang smiled slightly, this period of Lingyin Temple has just been destroyed for only two years, the temple is in a mess, and there is no record of who is the abbot in this period, but in memory there is an old monk sitting here at this time, and some fame. This is the person.

"Zen Master, please sit down," Lu Wang said, casually threw out a soft chair and appeared in front of Zen Master Hongren, and sure enough, the old monk's eyes flashed again, and his eyes became more and more incomprehensible.

"Thank you, Lord Wang", Zen Master Hongren looks very weak, maybe there is a deepening disease, after all, he is very old.

"The master is polite," Lu Wang smiled as he watched Zen Master Hongren slowly sit down, and then waved his hand. Nan Yan and a few guards around him immediately retreated to help a few maids make a fire, but the two little monks behind Hongren Zen Master still hesitated.

Zen Master Hongren understood what Lu Wang meant, coughed lightly, raised his hand and waved weakly, and the two little monks behind him also retreated far away.

"Although the poor monk lives deep in the mountains, he has also heard of the reputation of the prince for a long time, and now I am fortunate to see it, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately ......," Zen Master Hongren said softly.

"Master. You are also a master, why are you willing to be a lewd scholar to shoot these useless sycophants, what is there to be lucky about seeing me, there is money to take, right? Lu Wang said with a chuckle, and handed over the milk tea in front of him.

Well, Zen Master Hongren didn't expect this young prince who was said to be a god to speak so directly and unadorned, and he was obviously choked, but soon he laughed again. Stretched out his hand to take the milk tea handed by Lu Wang and took a sip without commenting. But he smiled and said: "Lingyin Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, I hope the prince will help"

"That's right, your Buddhism's so-called wit is as annoying as the world's roundabouts, how good it is to have something to say" Lu Wang smiled faintly, and then changed the conversation and asked: "It's just why do I want to help?" ”

"It is rumored in the world that the prince came into the world as a god, and my Buddha is a ......"

"Stop!" Lu Wang directly planned to promote the words of Zen Master Hongren: "Don't pull the relationship. Although I am a god and an immortal, I have nothing to do with the Buddha or the Tao, and you have to figure it out, and you have to understand it, you. , understand? ”

Zen Master Hongren smiled bitterly and nodded: "The poor monk understands!" What does the prince mean? ”

Under the eaves of the wooden house, Lu Wang and Zen Master Hongren talked in a low voice, in the courtyard, although Nan Yan was bowing his head to help wash vegetables, but his attention was obviously under the eaves, and he couldn't help muttering when he listened: "The prince also said that people are beating around the bush, and he is not like this, I can't understand a word of what he says!" ”

"The prince is a person with a heart", it is obvious that Zhu Yingying, who was standing next to her and watching the busy maid, was also over there, and when she heard Nan Yan's words, she couldn't help but remind: "Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have to support officials and families for development, and each has to be ruthlessly suppressed according to the preferences of those in power...... I remember that the prince issued an order earlier, saying that these two sects could not pretend to be gods and ghosts, and if they dared to call themselves immortals, they should be killed, except for fear that those liars would fool the people, but in fact, they didn't want these two sects to take advantage of him."

"I see" Nanyan nodded, it seems that just now Zen Master Hongren wanted to confess, but was ruthlessly rejected by Lu Wang.

"Then in the opinion of the little county lord, will the prince help?" Nan Yan asked with some concern.

"Yes", Zhu Yingying turned her head to look at Lu Wang under the eaves of the porch, with a smile on her face: "Because he said that he is a businessman, he must negotiate a deal with the old Zen master."

"Deal?" Nan Yan was stunned, it was true that Lu Wang had said the same thing to him before, but he didn't know what to do with the temple.

"I don't know how to trade, but I'm sure the prince won't use his own money to repair the temple," Zhu Yingying suddenly said with certainty.

"The prince doesn't pay for it...... Yes, as long as the prince says a word, many people in the world will flock to donate silver to Lingyin Temple" Nanyan realized.

"You're wrong, the prince will never speak!" Zhu Yingying interrupted him.

"Why?" Nan Yan was stunned.

"It's still that reason, the prince's prestige is unique in the world, if he likes it, people will give it to him...... But if he said that, then the Buddha Tao immediately took advantage of the situation, and this is not what the prince wants to see, so ......," Zhu Yingying explained.

"If you don't pay for it yourself, and you don't let others pay, how can you help?" Nan Yan rubbed his head to express his puzzlement, and admired Zhu Yingying's intelligence very much.

"The prince is different from mortals, the method he thinks of must be something we can't think of, just like we can't think of what kind of deal he wants to make with the temple,,, by the way, Manager Nan, the prince said that the five hundred taels of silver I donated was deceived by you, what the hell is going on......" Zhu Yingying said The topic suddenly changed.

"Well, what kind of little county lord, I'll go outside the courtyard and order those brothers to do something......" Nan Yan slipped away before he could finish speaking.

"Pay taxes, two taxes a year, your Lingyin temple field is not less than 10,000 acres, pay three percent in spring and autumn, and take out five of the incense money to the Hangzhou City Finance...... Under the eaves, Lu Wang stared at Zen Master Hongren, and tapped his fingers on the tabletop and said.

Hongren Zen Master frowned, the temple field has never paid taxes, and the monks and temples are all real tyrants, there is a field and money, even the emperor is envious when he is the richest, I think that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu was red at the bottom of the Lingyin Temple, and the abbot at that time was also a person of interest, and he automatically took out more than 10,000 acres of land to return to the imperial court, so that Lao Zhu could rest assured and put down the butcher knife.

"Isn't it a hair?" Lu Wang looked at the frowning Zen Master Hongren: "Or do you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" Lu Wang chuckled, "Master told you the truth, if you have my help, you can see the glory of the past in two years, otherwise you don't have twenty years of begging, there are still dilapidated houses and walls here, and you don't have a few years!" ”

Forehead? Hearing this, Zen Master Hongren was suddenly startled, and looked up at Lu Wang with a question on his face.

"Old Zen Master, you have two or three years left at most!" Lu Wang said with pity

Zen Master Hongren was startled at first, and then sighed long: "Please also ask the prince to show the way" Presumably he also knew that his body was when the lamp was dry and clean.

"I'll help you raise the money for the rebuilding of the temple, and I'll pick up the project, and in addition to accepting my conditions, you just need to send someone to find the virtuous monk, he is powerful, Lingyin shines in his hands, repeating the glory" Lu Wang said lightly.

"Does the prince know Hongli?" Zen Master Hongren can no longer hold back the previous master's demeanor, because his registered apprentice is not famous now, and he knows very few people, if he said that Lu Wang knew himself before, it may be that Nanyan had informed him before, but this virtuous monk didn't even know Nanyan!

"This king is an immortal, and I know the past life and future ......life of those who are destined for me," Lu Wang smiled slightly: "What do you think, old Zen master?" ”

Bragging is addictive, Lu Wang is happy to do it, when he met with Zhu Yingying in the afternoon, he was thinking about how to make a deal, and took advantage of the gap between going to the toilet to return to the afterlife to quickly check some information, and knew some things at the current stage of the Lingyin Temple, such as the dilapidated Lingyin Temple burned by a fire two years ago, two years later Hongren Zen Master passed away, six years later the monk Gude was found to be the abbot, and it took 18 years to rebuild the Lingyin Temple.

These things that can be known by tapping the keyboard in later generations, but now that Lu Wang's mouth has come gracefully, even if the Buddhist master Hongren Zen Master is shocked, and he no longer doubts the identity of Lu Wang's immortal, although this immortal is vulgar, and he doesn't know anything about Buddhist scriptures and Buddhas, but what he said always makes people feel that there is some truth, and soon the monk also fell.

The two sides negotiated a very successful deal, in the time when the maids were cooking, Lu Wang negotiated the conditions with Hongren Zen Master, in addition to taxes, his biggest gain was actually to receive the reconstruction project, you know what he made a fortune on? Antique toys, although the Lingyin Temple was burned to the top, but many of the surviving monuments are still very valuable, even if those bricks and stones are priceless, you must know that the history of this temple is really too long.

Of course, the reason why Zen Master Hongren agreed to sign the contract so happily in addition to being fooled by Lu Wang's immortal identity, there are two points, the first is the comparison of 20 years and two years, two years may still have the opportunity to see the prosperous Lingyin Temple, but a big wish, the second point is that Lu Wang told him that soon the emperor will decree that the monasteries throughout the Ming Dynasty will levy taxes, although not as high as the Lingyin Temple, although there is no incense money, but who calls to use other people's money now.
