Volume 2 The Smoke Rises Chapter 76 Turning Fate
To the surprise of Xue Xiuyuan and others, the final result of Xuanzhou Mansion's treatment of Guangjiao Temple Terada was not harsh.
The real temple field of Guangjiao Temple was less than 500 acres, so it was directly confiscated. Some of the more than 300 acres that could not be found by the bitter master, or were unwilling to be claimed by the bitter master, were also confiscated. The remaining nearly 3,000 mu of land and hidden land will be divided into different proportions, and the outstanding land tax will be calculated according to the backward calculation of three to five years. You only need to supplement the land tax and pay a little deed tax, and you can set up another land deed and return the property to the original owner.
The so-called stick is raised high and gently fallen, but it is just an anticipatory management technique of lifting the roof first and then opening the small window.
There was an example of Guangjiao Temple in the past, and the other temples in Xuanzhou Prefecture were confiscated, and no one made trouble anymore.
When Jiang Guogong came back from Ningguo County to supervise the reform of the county government, the presiding Zen master of Guangjiao Temple came to the door.
Jiang Guogong was not in Xuancheng, so Master Chan Yin calmed down, but he knew that it was meaningless to find foreign officials such as Hou Hongye and Tang Puze. Only by looking for Jiang Guogong, knowing it with reason, moving it with affection, those hundreds of acres of temple fields are not without hope of getting it back.
However, before Master Chan Yin could speak, Li Congyi asked him, "Do you know what are the two most difficult things in this world?" ”
Zen was stunned for a moment, unable to answer for a while.
Li Congyi laughed: "These two things are, first, take out the money in your pocket and put it in my pocket, and second, put the thoughts in my head into your head." ”
Zen pondered for a while, and felt that Jiang Guogong's statement was quite novel, but the truth was not bad. It's just that what does Jiang Guogong want to express?
"However, the business that the Buddha did was to accomplish the above two difficult things." Li Congyi said, "With such good business logic, if the mage still only has this little bit in his eyes, he will inevitably disappoint my father." ”
Zen Yin was speechless for a while, and then said: "There are indeed some good men and women who donate some sesame oil money to this temple, but the amount is small, and there is no fixed number. ”
Li Congyi said, "That's it, I'll tell you about it." ”
The method of making money in the temple in the later generations is to do everything possible to create opportunities for believers to pay money, one is to wait for the rabbit, each hall has a huge donation box and a large number of gold, silver and copper coins in it, all kinds of incense of different prices, the eternal lamp corresponding to the amount of donations, the offering tablet washed by the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, and the vegetarian food of different prices; The second is to take the initiative to hold regular festivals to attract believers to participate, to divide the price of the deceased for the deceased, to conjure up new houses, shops, and carriages, and to cooperate with merchants to produce Buddhist cards, Buddha statues, Buddhist shrines and other consecrated holy relics.
The Zen Master was really dumbfounded.
Li Congyi's meeting with Master Zen Yin was, of course, not just to give advice on the financial resources of Guangjiao Temple.
"There are more than 300 people in Guangjiao Temple, but why do you need so many people in the temple?" Li Congyi said: "My father will not cut the number of your degrees for the time being, but Guangjiao Temple needs to do three things for this public: First, it needs to set up a Buddhist college to cultivate Buddhist talents. What is a high-ranking monk should not be judged by age, but by knowledge. How to build this Buddhist academy and how to distinguish the level of knowledge of talents, I ask all the eminent monks to come up with a charter. The second is to set up a branch temple in the city, every night or ten-day holiday, it is necessary to send monks to lead the believers to chant sutras, and during the day, it is necessary to open a Buddhist teaching hall for some believers' children for free, and the school needs to be filed with the Culture and Education Bureau, but the relevant knowledge of Buddhism can be added as a supplementary course. The third is that our Ningguo Army is also about to go to the front line, and the remains of the martyrs will be transported back, and the Guangjiao Temple will need to handle the transcendent puja free of charge. ”
"The temple in the city, my father has already chosen, and when I turn around, I will let people send the deed to your temple. But if the mage can't do the three things that this duke said, please abdicate quickly and be able to be virtuous, otherwise don't blame my duke for not being emotional. Li Congyi is going to issue an eviction order.
Unexpectedly, Zen Yin beat the snake with the stick: "Is the temple given by the Lord Guogong in the name of the Lord Guogong, or in the name of the state capital?" The temple should order a stone tablet, engrave this righteous act on it, and place it in the temple. ”

"What is this?" Qian Weijun looked at the merry-go-round in front of him, not knowing why.
Qian Hailu smiled, "Big brother, you might as well try to sit down first." He pulled Qian Weijun up to the round platform and found a wooden horse to sit on. Qian Weijun and Sun Bin also sat down separately. I saw several mules under the stage pulling up for some reason, and then the wooden round platform slowly rotated.
The Trojan horse cannot move up and down, but there is a living log in the Trojan that can move slightly back and forth. Qian Weijun followed Qian Hailu's example, holding the neck of the wooden horse with his hand, swaying back and forth, but there was no amplification. The mules and horses under the round platform only walked in small steps, and the speed of the wooden horse was not fast.
Qian Hailu asked, "What does the eldest brother think of this merry-go-round?" ”
Qian Weijun pouted, it turned out that this was called a merry-go-round. I just felt that it was boring to sit, so I asked the groom to stop the mule and horse.
Qian Hailu didn't say much, and asked a few male and female children specially brought this time to play. A few children were so happy that they refused to go down, but just wanted to play repeatedly.
"The horse walks five times and collects twenty cents." Qian Hailu said.
"That's it? Twenty wen for five laps? Qian Weijun was quite shocked, but looking at the reluctant appearance of those children, he thought about it, if it was the youngest girl in his own family, it was estimated that he might throw a few taels of silver here.
Further on, I saw a small boat, like a big pendulum, hanging on a large pillar supported by a huge log. If you look closely at the top of the column, it is shiny, and it turns out that it is equipped with an iron sleeve.
"Big brother try again?"
"Try it!" Qian Weijun pulled Sun Bin up with him.
Seeing the two horses pulling the wheels, the rope pulled the wooden boat high to one side through a set of pulleys. Then the staff let go of the horses, and let go of the buckle of the wheel, and the wooden boat swung quickly to the other side, and Qian Weijun almost screamed, but he just grabbed the handrail with his hand, but he felt that he was too worried when he thought of the rope tied around his waist. When the boat had bobbed back and forth a dozen times, and saw that the amplitude was getting smaller and smaller, the horses pulled up their wheels again, and the ropes tightened, and the boat stopped.
"How's this?" Qian Hailu said with a smile.
"This one does! But what's the name? Sun Bin took the initiative to laugh. Then he asked, "Is the smaller one over there only a child?" ”
This can be inferred. Qian Hailu gave a thumbs up, "Exactly." This cradle spaceship here can be played by parents with their children, and that one can only be played by children. ”
Walking to the little train again, looking at the series of small "carriages" pulled by a donkey, the three of them went up and sat down again, the speed was not fast, but the place enclosed by the wooden tracks, in which trees and shrubs were planted, and some wood was put into animal toys, and painted with colors, which should be very attractive to children.
"What's that over there?" Qian Weijun's interest also came up. Pointing to the field fenced off. There are many small wooden towers, stairs, slides, seesaws, swings, etc.
"This is called a children's paradise, a child costs 50 yuan, you can play in it for a day, adults can accompany you, but you can't play." Qian Hailu replied.
Qian Weijun smacked his lips, but he also agreed that fifty yuan a day of play was not expensive. After all, those projects just now cost twenty wen for one play.
Qian Weijun and Sun Bin asked around, and they were also impressed. This is the first project of Qianhailu's Qiantang Resort, called the Children's Amusement Park, which is surrounded by fences, toilets in the amusement park, and men and women; There are also a few small cabins, and Qian Hailu said that there will be some toys or food at that time.
Outside the amusement park, there are also two buildings that are nearing completion. One is a restaurant, which can accommodate three small restaurants; The other is a store, Qian Hailu is called a tail goods specialty store, specializing in Ruifuxiang off the shelves but not sold out of all kinds of tail goods, and it is sold at a very low discount.
"In addition to this children's amusement park, I see that several other places have also started construction, can you tell us what the specific project is?" Sun Bin asked with interest.
"There's a hill in that area, and I'm going to build a zoo."
"Between the zoo and the amusement park, there's the water park."
"To the north of the amusement park and water park, there is a children's castle and a theater."
"To the east of the amusement park is a branch of the Hangzhou Grand Hotel, which not only has food and beverage, but also accommodation, and plans to build 100 rooms."
"In addition, in order to make it easier for customers to come to the resort, I plan to build a road from here to the south gate, and with a passenger carriage converted from a heavy-duty carriage, I will travel between the two places regularly every day."
Qian Weijun smacked his lips, "With so many projects, this construction period can't be short." ”
"My plan is to finish it in three years. However, the children's amusement park will be open for a soft opening next month. But in the early stage, there is only this one project plus the store, and the customer flow will be worse. Qian Hailu replied.
"There will not be fewer people." Sun Bin said. There are a lot of rich and noble families in Hangzhou, but there is no place for children to play, if there is such a place, I am afraid that some children, but those who are not enlightened to school, they are likely to come here every day for recreation.
"Other merchants make money, but they buy low and sell high, but this small owner makes money, but he wants to be ingenious and sell things that have not been seen in the past. Don't look at the tens of thousands of taels of silver invested in three years now, but after it is completed, it is to wait for the money to be collected every year. Qian Hailu raised her face and said proudly.
Qian Weijun and Sun Bin also have to admit that in terms of business, Qian Hailu does have the ability to be proud.
This super project of Qian Yong Resort is indeed worth the investment. And once completed, it will be a scene of Hangzhou.
The two of them climbed up the hill again, and looked down on the villa from the top of the hill. Qian Weijun noticed that a large wharf was being built on the riverbank behind the hillside.
"This is the supporting wharf of the villa, and the goods that the villa needs can be directly unloaded here, and after the name of the villa is started in the future, guests from Mingzhou and Suzhou can also come here by boat to play, and they can get off the boat here."
Hearing Qian Hailu say this, Qian Weijun also felt that it was not impossible.
However, Sun Bin felt that the scale of this pier looked a little bigger. However, when I thought of the Qiantang sea trade engaged in by these two people, I was also relieved. Xu is Qian Hailu wants to use this place as a private wharf under his control to do those maritime trade. As long as it is not too excessive, Qian Hailu used a little trick when building the villa, which is not a big deal.
