Master Long Yang and Zhao Ran exchanged greetings for a moment, and then said: "Today, the poor monk went to Cuiming Mountain for a walk, and some people have begun to build mountain roads and mountain gates, and they have also seen the land being leveled on the middle of the mountain. I wonder when it will be completed?"

Zhao Ran said: "In a few days, there are 300 people into the mountain, all of them are experienced craftsmen invited by Xingqing Mansion Zuo, including many masters of Kaifeng Mansion, it is expected that the mountain road and mountain gate will be repaired within two months, and then the construction of various temples and temples in the villa will begin, and the construction of the monk's house will start in September next year, and the garden will be initially regulated." Strive to complete the construction of the entire mountain resort and medicinal herb plantation by the end of the following year. After completion, the monks of your temple can move into the annex. According to the requirements of your temple, all the carved beams and paintings are not done, which is already the fastest progress. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ran unfolded the planning map in front of Master Long Yang, introducing the start and completion dates of each place one by one.

Master Longyang doesn't know how many times he has read the planning map of Cuiming Villa, and he is already familiar with it, but every time he opens it, he is as excited as when he first looks at it. Abbot Long Ji didn't know that he had made a joke about him once, saying that if he continued to look at it, he was afraid that the Buddha's heart would be lost and his realm would fall.

Master Long Yang said to his senior brother with emotion: "Six hundred years, how can our temple have such a good opportunity for prosperity, I still remember the advice of the master before his death, and now the words are still in my ears...... When this courtyard is completed, it will be a master's last wish, even if my junior brother and my realm fall, I will have no regrets, this so-called idea is ......"

At this moment, Long Yang, whose fingers kept rubbing on the planning map, looked at it for a long time, and muttered, "Okay, okay...... I don't know what the difficulties are? If you have a place to find our temple, you can do it as the owner asks. ”

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "The biggest difficulty is the problem of preparing materials. Earlier, the price had been negotiated with the Yeli family, and the wood was cut from the mountains and forests in the river valleys on the left and right...... There is a small stone hill next to it where you can quarry stones...... It's very close, which is why I chose Cuiming Mountain. But even if it is close, after all, the amount of mining is very large, and a large part of the construction period of Cuiming Villa is doing this...... In addition, there are issues such as land leveling. I don't know if there is any way in your temple, such as...... Uh, the Dharma...... At least a few months can be saved, even a year in advance. ”

This is purely the sequelae of Zhao Ran's "abuse" of the five-color master Taoism in the construction of Junshan - after making it easy, he always can't help but think of this efficient way of building.

To build the annex of his own temple, the abbot Long Yang said that he would never shirk it, and he would immediately dispatch more than a dozen monks who were on standby in Xingqing Mansion to come to cut wood and quarry.

What should be said, Zhao Ran felt that he was almost finished, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and gently twisted the tea leaves in the water with the lid of the cup, this meaning is very clear———Master go, it's late at night, shouldn't we disperse?"

But I didn't want this old monk to have no consciousness of being a guest at all, so he took a sip of the cup, then put down the cup and continued to sigh: "Cheng Dongjia, if I hadn't met you, our temple would have been extremely difficult this year, every time the poor monk thought of more than 200 mouths in the temple, and thought of more than ten young children in the temple waiting to be fed, he couldn't help but feel very happy......

Zhao Ran said in his heart, this old monk kept chattering over and over again, and he didn't know what the hell he was going to do, so he said: "Why should the master be polite, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Long Yang's face turned red, and he swallowed slowly: "Although the daily life of our temple is embarrassing, it has been like this for hundreds of years, and the reason why this year has reached the extreme is because of greed, so that he is unable to deal with the disaster, and the owner of this matter is known." But in the hype of the snow lotus set off in Xingqing Mansion this time, it is not only our temple that is like this, as far as the poor monks know, such as the Longmatai Temple in Xingqing Mansion has also folded thousands of taels in it, if they don't see the opportunity early, I'm afraid the loss will be more......"

Zhao Ran was amused in his heart, the Jinbo group earned more than 100,000 silver in the battle of sniping Snow Lotus, plus a group of forces around them who had good relationships and saw the opportunity quickly, adding up to no less than 300,000 taels, of course, most of them were taken from the pockets of the Li family of Yanhuilou, such as speculative traders, small rich families, and even some temples also contributed a lot.

Longmatai Temple ranks low among the temples of Xingqing Prefecture, so it is also among the loss-making ranks. However, Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple, Jietan Temple, Buddha Temple and other large temples have made a lot of money under the news of the Liang, Gao, and Yeli families, and Chengtian Temple alone has made a profit of 20,000 silver!

Otherwise, what do you think the Jinbo clique can do without being harmed after making so much money? Zhao Ran heard that many of the Li family's backhands were forcibly suppressed, and this is the reason why they have food to eat together and clothes to wear together. This is also a common trick used by the post-party, and Zhao Ran still admires it.

I heard Master Longyang continue: "The poor monk didn't want to do much, but there was a temple like our temple, which was also hit hard in this year's Great White Disaster, and he lost a lot of money by buying snow lotus. Master Wulan, the abbot of the temple, approached the poor monk and hoped that the poor monk would help introduce the owner, but they said that they did not know if they could follow the example of Tianmatai Temple......

After Zhao Ran knew that he had set a precedent for Tianmatai Temple, he didn't know how many temples were hot and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

But he has been "serving" for half a year beyond the deadline, and has been waiting for the Ming Sanqingtang to send someone to do the handover so that he pats his ass and leaves. Now that the business inn has been built and is working well, he has sent a lot of information back, the task has been completed a long time ago, and his fingers are also full of a large amount of real money and precious medicinal materials that have been exchanged, ready to run away at any time, where can he have time to take care of these idle things.

According to the contact with the flying talisman of Dongfang Li, the new "Cheng'an" who came to hand over had already set off more than a month ago, but for some reason it had not yet arrived in Xingqing.

Therefore, he politely refused: "Master, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Cheng Dongjia, please say. ”

"Your temple is worth a lot now, the master knows it, right?"

Long Yang's face was full of light: "Our temple currently has 60,000 taels of goods, and there are 3,000 shares of Tianma Pharmaceutical in my hand." ”

Zhao Ran nodded and said, "It adds up to 150,000 taels of silver." Master, do you know how much Kaifeng Mansion earned last year?"

"This ......"

"Together with all kinds of goods, all of them are equivalent to just over 500,000 yuan in silver! The master knows that Gao Da Yanei is the eldest son of the Yin family in Kaifeng Mansion, and the data in my hand is not very different. In other words, the Guisi Temple alone is worth more than 30% of the annual income of the entire Xingqing Mansion last year. ”

"It's still up to the owner......"

Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Let's not say polite words between us, I mean, how many Tianma Pharmaceuticals can the entire Xingqing Mansion support?"

Long Yang looked at Zhao Ran in a daze, as if he had an understanding.

Zhao Ran spread his hands: "So, the cake in the pool...... There is only so much rice in the pot, and if you eat more, others will eat less, and if there are more people eating, everyone will eat less. It's as simple as that...... In the short term, this is not replicable. ”

Long Yang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "The poor monk also knows that this is a reluctant request, but he also asks the Cheng family to think of a way." ”

Zhao Ran frowned: "Master, I have explained the truth so thoroughly, and the master is still ......" Seeing the begging in Long Yang's eyes when he looked at him, he said helplessly: "That...... What are the characteristics of the other party's temple? For example, the elixir they refine can't be refined by other families?"

“...... It is the same as my Tianmatai Temple, and the elixir formula is similar, so I can't think of it for a while......"

"So, do they have any places where they have beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate where they can live for the rest of their lives?"

“...... Heisheng Mountain is also a barren mountain and a wild range, located in a remote area, in terms of resources, it is only slightly better than our temple Tianmatai Mountain, but in terms of danger, it is far more than our temple......"

"That's right...... Master, you see, your temple is the same type of temple as them, and this is in a competitive relationship in terms of business, and it can't complement each other well, let them come into the pot to eat, even if several of us agree, can the master be willing?"

Long Yang said: "Our temple is willing." Just now the heartfelt words of the owner, is really for the temple plan, the poor monk thanked the owner, but the Jialan Temple is different! The Jialan Temple and the temple thousands of years ago was passed on by a patriarch, and the temple watched and helped each other, these hundreds of years, the temple has experienced many disasters, it is the Jialan Temple to help, this is supported. Now under the care of the Cheng owner's family, our temple has hope, and because of this, we can't leave them alone......"

“...... Wait, what kind of temple are you talking about?"

"Jialan Temple, Cheng Dongjia is not a person in my cultivation, I may not have heard of it, well, in fact, even if I am a person in cultivation, I have heard of it very little, just like our temple......

Zhao Ran was a little confused for a moment, why hadn't he heard of it?
