Chapter 60: Merit and Scriptures

The more everyone talked, the happier they became, and they were all imagining what it would be like when Junshan would prosper in the future, and their eyes were full of longing.

Although the night was already very deep, since everyone had no intention of dispersing, Zhao Ran continued: "Let's talk about how this ten thousand silver should be spent." There is still a long way to go for the Junsan area to develop into what I just said, and we need all of you to work together. ”

Jin Jiu and the others all said: "The temple wishes you the old man, just give orders, and I will do our best." ”

Zhao Ran nodded and said: "How to spend silver, it is actually related to the development of Junshan Temple. Now Junshan Caochuang, although there is a preliminary outline, but there is still a lot to owe. I think the most important thing is the lack of manpower. Senior Brother Jin, how many people do we have in Junshan now?"

Junshan Temple has always been a grasp of Taoist affairs and government affairs, as the actual manager, Jin Jiu is well aware of the situation of the people under his rule, and immediately said: "Zhongjiazhuang has one hundred and eighty-three households, Dingkou is eight hundred and ninety, Lijiazhuang has two hundred and twenty households, Dingkou has one thousand and ninety, Wujiazhuang has two hundred and sixty-one households, and Dingkou has one thousand three hundred and seventy. ”

Zhao Ran said: "That's more than 3,000 people? Such an idea, too few! What we want to create in the future is a big cause, relying on these people, it is far from enough, so the first priority at present is to absorb the population." ”

Jin Jiu is no longer the gentleman of the year, and he knows a lot about the people's livelihood and people's feelings, and immediately wondered: "But there is no arable land in Junshan, and now each household is divided into about 20 acres, if there are more people, where can I find the field?"

Zhao Ran said: "The terrain of the valley west of Xiaojun Mountain is quite flat, and if it is rectified, it can be more than 5,000 acres." ”

Jin Jiu hesitated: "But there is a large area of old forest, not like here, if it is a wasteland, it will not be able to open it in three or five years." ”

Zhao Ran said: "Didn't you already build the temporary greenhouse for the victims there? In the future, there will be more victims, so let's not block it, because it will be easy to cause trouble. Let's focus on the victims. The current method of soup soup is not good, it is a lazy people, and it is impossible to keep people, and the victims of the disaster have enough to eat, and they will stay for a few months and then go back. I mean, everyone who receives relief has to work. After the disaster victims arrived, they should make a distinction, and those who are willing to stay in Junshan in the future will be able to pay the same amount of grain as in Junshan according to the number of Dingkou, ranging from five to ten acres of fields, and the amount of grain will be the same as that in Junshan. The timber can be used to build a house, and most of the rest is stored for future use in home workshops. ”

Jin Jiu said: "The fields are less than those in Junshan, and the grain grown in this little land, if there are many people in the family, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to maintain." ”

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "It is precisely because it is difficult for them to live entirely on the fields, otherwise in the future workshop, where will they find so many people to work?"

Jin Jiu asked again: "What if you don't want to?"

Zhao Ran said: "If you don't want to, you will organize to participate in the harvest, and then participate in logging and clearing the wasteland after the autumn harvest is completed. ”

Jin Jiu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to leave my homeland, I'm afraid there aren't many people who are willing to stay." ”

Zhao Ran said: "How much can be counted, of course, you must be targeted when you provide specific relief......"

Jin Jiu was stunned for a moment, Lin Shuangwen had already understood, and said thoughtfully: "Miao Zhu, if you are willing to stay, you should be kind to them?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "For example, when boiling porridge, it is divided into two pots, one pot has more rice, one pot has less, one pot has some vegetable leaves, and the other pot has nothing." For another example, when building a house, directly indicate which wooden house belongs to which household, build a family and move into a household, and if you are unwilling to stay, continue to live in a greenhouse. ”

Jin Jiu also understood, and asked, "What if they regret it?"

Zhao Ran said: "It doesn't matter if you regret it, anyway, you have done your job, as long as the valley is opened and the house is built, if he wants to leave when the time comes, we will not suffer, at most let him eat more." However, I still believe that with our conditions, it is still very attractive, and if they regret returning to their hometowns, they will not only have to toss the waterlogged land, but also have to endure higher taxes than ours, why bother? As for their homeland, it is difficult to leave...... Our Guyang County is next to Jiangyou County, and it is not far from our homeland. ”

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Zhao Ran said: "Senior Brother Jin wants to preside over the overall situation of Junshan Temple, so leave this matter to Brother Lin." One of the biggest problems is how to buy enough grain, and the problem of purchasing grain is still handled by the gold shopkeeper. Steward Li did a good job of sheltering the victims of the charity hall, and sent a group of them over after organizing them. I estimate that this is a large sum of silver, and I plan to take out 7,000 taels, and the remaining silver, each of which is 300 taels for the preparation of the furniture workshop and the ceramics workshop, and finally 2,400 taels for spare, what do you think?"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Ran asked them to agree on the detailed regulations tomorrow, and he said that he was silent, and drove the excited Jin Jiu and others out of the house.

At this time, only Jueyuan was left in the house, and Zhao Ran said: "It's getting late today, I live in the West House, and my senior brother will go to the East House to rest." ”

"Brother Dao, have you finished handling the affairs in the temple?"

"Ah, that's it. ”

"Brother Dao doesn't want to ask why the poor monk appeared in Daming?"

"Look at you like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Buddhism anymore, so you have the ambition to return to the vulgar, or are you simply coming to the poor road?"

Jue Yuan was speechless for a while, and then sneered: "The poor monk has done a good job as the abbot of the Great Leiguang Temple, where can he not stay?"

Zhao Ran smiled and said, "Senior brother is very resentful, is it not a good idea to talk about it like this, I think it is better to talk about it when Senior Brother is calm." Otherwise, the brotherhood is out of control, and I really can't help but move my hands, and I am afraid that I will hurt my brother again. ”

Jueyuan remembered the battle during the day, and couldn't help beating a small drum in his heart, and his momentum weakened by three points, and he sighed and said, "Brother Dao, don't blame the poor monk for not being angry...... The poor monk just wants to ask, is Brother Dao's surname Zhao or Zhu's surname?"

Zhao Ran coughed dryly: "This, it is indeed the negligence of Poor Dao, I had a very happy conversation with my senior brother that day, and I forgot to tell my real name and surname...... In fact, the poor Dao's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhiran. ”

Jueyuan's face was full of grief and indignation: "Brother Zhao Dao, in order to find Zhu Zhimeng, the poor monk went back and forth in Long'an Mansion for half a year!"

Zhao Ran was stunned: "It takes so long?"

Jue Yuan said angrily: "Your Dao Gate is too much, and I don't know what is there to hide in the place of cultivation, the mystery of the gods is hidden without a trace, where is it like our Buddha Gate, the door is open to welcome guests in all directions! The poor monk thought that Huayun Pavilion was next to Xizhen Wu Palace, but he looked at every corner of Pingwu County, and he was stunned. The poor monks ran to Jiangyou, Shiquan, and Guyang one by one, and finally heard some news that Zhu Zhimeng had been in Wuji Mountain before ...... practice."

Zhao Ran remembered that when he wanted to enter the Dao Gate a few years ago, he was also not allowed to enter the door, and he couldn't help but arouse the same hatred and hatred, and said angrily: "Who said it wasn't, it's not down-to-earth at all!

Jueyuan: "......"

"Okay, the topic has diverged, let's talk about you, how have you been in the past few years?"

Jueyuan sighed: "It's been hard in the past few years......"

Zhao Ran's stomach was happy, and his heart said that he was going to play the sad card, so he said strangely: "I didn't see it, it's true that Brother Dao has a lot of good things! Your robe is really a treasure...... There are also Buddha beads, which entangle my leprosy donkey to death, you must know that my donkey is not ordinary, and ordinary people really can't get it......"

Jueyuan said embarrassedly: "That's what my Great Leiguang Temple has passed down through the ages, and it's just these few things, where can I compare to Brother Dao...... Let's get down to business, "A Han Difficult Sutra" is the precept treasure scripture of our temple, for the sake of the poor monks who have traveled thousands of miles to find the scriptures, and ask the Taoist brother to return it. ”

Zhao Ran said, "......Ahhh

Jueyuan smiled bitterly: "Brother Dao, don't tease the poor monk anymore. This scripture is actually useless, but it is the ancient scripture of the temple of the Great Leiguang Temple, and the poor monks must take it back, so as to be worthy of the abbots and sages of the past dynasties in the temple. ”

Zhao Ran knew that the scripture was definitely not as simple as Jueyuan said, but it was indeed as Jueyuan said, this scripture was of little use to him, and his current idea was to see if he could extort some benefits from Jueyuan?R1152
