I haven't seen fireworks.

Chapter 534: Movable Type Printing

"Grandma, you can't give money!" Yue Lin said firmly while resisting Xing Yueqin's embrace.

"You!" Ning was overjoyed at first, her grandson showed rare courage, which is a good thing.

But in front of Master Huicheng
"You..." Ning was about to say something, but Huicheng on the mat shook his head: "Old Madam, I think the young master really has something to say, why don't you listen to it?"

"This..." Ning's face darkened, she thought for a while, and said, "Master Huicheng is a nobleman in our family, Yue Lin, please greet me first!"

The implication is that this person has a great background, so you must be polite when speaking.

Yue Lin nodded, finally shook off Xing Yueqin's arm, and stood on the ground by himself.

He trotted a few steps, came to Master Huicheng, and circled around him a few times.

He already knew that Master Huicheng had high literary attainments, profound Dharma, and beautiful handwriting, but he didn't expect that he was also handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, just like Fa Hai in Tsui Hark's version of Green Snake. The image of a handsome monk who can make the green snake unable to walk.

He was wearing a white monk's robe, the style was no different from the monk's robe on earth. Although the monk's robe was loose, he could feel the strength contained in the muscles concealed under the monk's robe.

It's impossible without muscles, after all, he just read the scriptures in one posture for nearly two hours!

So, this monk has both civil and military skills?
Yue Lin didn't know how powerful he was, so he glanced at the room. There were mostly female relatives here, and the male servants didn't seem to have any strength. If there was a real fight, it was uncertain which side would win.

In addition, there are people behind Huicheng, so the method of beating him out with sticks is not very good, and he has to send a letter.

"Master, I originally had ten taels of pocket money every month, but it has gradually decreased in the past few months. By last month, there was only twenty taels left. If you ask for more money, I will have no money to spend! "

"Huh?" Huicheng was taken aback for a moment. He thought that Yue Lin's early wisdom, or someone behind him, would come forward at this time, and there must be something surprising.

But never expected that he would say that he has no money?
This is Huicheng's goal, what he wants is that the Yue family has no money, but this kind of thing can only be done, not said, especially in front of a child.

Otherwise, it will tear your face.

So Huicheng replied: "Mr. Yue, money is something outside of the body, but with scripture protection, it can protect the peace of the house and the longevity of the family. Don't you want your grandma to live a long life?"

Yue Lin shook his head: "I want a long life, but I also want money!"

Huicheng smiled: "Mr. Yue, you are still young and don't understand many truths in this world. Many times, we can't achieve the best of both worlds. For example, your father has to fight abroad for this country and cannot come back. Does he not want to come back? No, he can't come back!"

The level of debate here is quite high?

Yue Lin was a little speechless, but thinking about it again, Buddhism was originally good at debating, and it was normal for him to be unable to win in the field that others were good at.

Look down on him!

Stretching out his hand, Yue Lin asked, "Can I have a look at the scriptures in your hand?"

"Of course!" Huicheng smiled and handed out the scripture in his hand: "The content of the scripture is obscure, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me!"

"Okay!" Yue Lin nodded, and first took a copy of "Xu Sheng Jing".

"Xu Sheng Jing" and "Huan Meng Jing" are the two fundamental classics of Buddhism in this world, corresponding to the two directions of the law of void and dream, the master of virtual dreams.

It is also a method of practice, and long-term recitation can increase the spirit and wisdom.

And what is the benefit of increasing wisdom, that is, it can provide more power of faith.

Even a shallow believer, as long as the spirit is strong enough, the power of faith provided can be compared to a fanatic.

Of course, Yue Lin didn't know about this.

He flipped through the "Xu Sheng Jing" quickly, then closed and opened his eyes, and had already studied it in his mind.

Ignoring the meaning of faith contained in the scriptures, this becomes a collection of fairy tales.

It is said that the master of virtual dreams created immeasurable empty worlds in the void, and then enlightened seven bodhisattvas, eighteen great arhats, five thousand evil monks, and one hundred thousand good people, and ordered them to go to the immeasurable world to punish evil and promote evil. Good, spread the story of glory.

The entire Sutra consists of seven volumes, each with twelve chapters, for a total of 84 chapters.

The Lord of Void Dreams only appeared in the first volume of the scriptures, and his name in the book is not called the Lord of Void Dreams, but Lord Amitabha.

The protagonists of the next six volumes become the seven Bodhisattvas, eighteen arhats and so on under his command.

By the way, when the pilgrimage to Taidi was said by Buddhists to be Tianning Bodhisattva descending to earth, this Tianning Bodhisattva is one of the seven great Bodhisattvas.

Although the whole scripture mainly tells stories, it is not just stories. It not only includes a lot of fairy tales, but also contains a lot of common sense of life, health care knowledge, philosophy of life, agricultural production knowledge, meteorological knowledge and so on.

Although this knowledge is hidden under the scriptures and covered with a layer of light of faith, the truth and knowledge come from the mouth of the so-called "master", but Yue Lin naturally has the ability to peel off the cocoon and restore the original looks like.

"Thus, although the founder of the Buddhist sect here was enlightened by the Lord of Void Dreams, he was not completely enlightened. There is obviously a part of free play in this scripture!" Yue Lin read so many books, but it was not in vain , he naturally knows what these religions are all about.

In order to recruit believers, one must speak well of one's sect and explain clearly the benefits of joining.

In many cases, telling the truth is not enough, because if you don’t brag about other denominations, you will brag about it. When the big pie drawn by others is bigger than yours, won’t you be uncompetitive?

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be free play when spreading.

This kind of free play will not gradually stop until the sect has a certain influence and the organization is almost complete. At that time, the classics created by the predecessors will become the golden rule, and future generations who want to change a word are blasphemy.

It's similar to his investment project in Hyundai. He obviously just wanted to make an aromatic spray, but he had to tell investors that what we were making was a spray that could neutralize all kinds of poisonous gases.

As for whether it can be done, things like scientific research will always fail!
Let's get the money first.

Closer to home.

If these unrealistic, bragging, and belief-spreading content are removed, what is left in this book?

That's right, what's left of it is a little common sense of ancient life, and a summary of basic techniques, etiquette, and miscellaneous learning.

Even the bragging part is not useless. The book describes a lot of natural phenomena such as astronomy, geography, meteorology and the universe. Of course, the explanations given in the book are all the great power of my Buddha. For example, the Buddha can see 8000 million in the water at a glance. insect.

But after removing this part of the explanation, this part of the content is another science fiction collection!

So this scripture is really not useless.

It is an enlightenment book with high literary value and educational value!
No, in view of the low level of culture in ancient times, this scripture can even be said to be a reading material for cultivating high-level talents, it can be regarded as the ancient version of a doctoral textbook!

"It's no wonder those monks can win so many people's arguments without leaving home. It turns out that there is really Yan Ruyu in the book!" Yue Lin smiled, and he had already thought of a way to deal with Huicheng.

This method can not only solve the economic crisis in Yuefu, but also allow him to engage in technology unscrupulously.
"Master Huicheng, are you the only one who can write this scripture? We can't write it ourselves?" Yue Lin asked pretending to be ignorant.

"This!" Huicheng frowned, did he want to copy it himself?

It's useless, even if you copy the scriptures, I'll just turn the sale into a rental, and you still have to pay for it!
Children are only children after all!
Smiling, Huicheng said: "Of course not, the Lord Buddha once said that everyone in the world has a Buddha heart, and anyone who has a Buddha heart can sing my "Xu Sheng Jing". If you want to copy it yourself, of course you can! "

"So, there is no Buddhist temple specializing in this scripture, right?" Yue Lin asked.

"Eh?" Huicheng was taken aback, he certainly meant to specialize, and the imperial court had a system of monopolizing salt and iron.

Most people who ask this must want to sell scriptures, but the literacy rate in Yinyue is not high, and there are not many people interested in Buddhism, and these people already have "Xu Sheng Jing" in their homes, so even if you want to sell , can't sell it!
Besides, although Buddhist temples do not specialize in scriptures, one is for Buddhist scriptures and the other is for ordinary merchants. If you were a believer, who would you buy from?

It must be looking for a Buddhist temple, otherwise wouldn't it be impious?
All in all, selling Buddhist scriptures is not profitable at all, but because of the huge cost, the already collapsed economy of Yue Mansion is even worse.

This is to speed up his Yuefu collapse mission!
Therefore, I shouldn't stop him, but encourage him!
Although selling scriptures is very profitable, Huicheng is not short of money at all, and it is tiring to copy so many scriptures by hand!

Thinking of this, the smile on Huicheng's face became more kind: "Of course there is no franchise, Buddhist temples do not prohibit anyone from copying Buddhist scriptures, nor prohibit anyone from selling Buddhist scriptures!"

"It's so good!" Yue Lin was a little happy: "It's too selfish for only us to read such a good scripture!"

"Our family's money can no longer be given to you, but if these books are printed and distributed to people who don't know these scriptures, then I am willing!"

"Oh?" Huicheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Yue Lin in front of him seriously, and judged the truth or falsehood of his words calmly.

Does he really think so?

You know, in this era, printing books is a hassle. There is no movable type printing, and woodblock printing has just been born and has not yet become popular. The spread of books relies more on handwriting.

So the only way to spread books on a large scale is to hire people to copy them.

But in this era, those who can read are high-level intellectuals, and they will not be short of money. Will they copy books for others?

He looked at Ning's on the eyestand again, Ning's complexion was as usual, but his eyes were a little dull, and the muscles on his cheeks were a little tense.

Judging by her appearance, she didn't know that Yue Lin would say such a thing.

So, this is really a decision made sincerely by a child who worships my Buddha!Is it because of the windfall that I have preached so many times?
Huicheng wanted to laugh, he didn't expect that he would not only be able to complete the task, but also pull in the young masters of the Yue family by the way!

Maybe one day, I can personally shave him!
"You are a child with wisdom!" Touching Yue Lin's head, Huicheng said seriously: "Since you have such a great wish, as a Buddhist disciple, I will naturally support you, and I will give you all these scriptures !"

As he said that, he looked at the Ning family above again: "Mr. Lin, as the grandson of Yue's family, you should also support his ideals!"

"Of course!" Ning's teeth were about to be gritted in anger, but she still kept smiling. She nodded heavily: "Since today's scriptures are finished, Ah Fu, prepare a carriage for Master Huicheng!"

They drove people away, not even keeping the tea.

"Then thank you, Madam!" Huicheng didn't care about Ning's attitude at all. Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and there are unexpected gains.

It's just a cup of tea, the poor monk is magnanimous and doesn't care about women!

Seeing Huicheng being led away by Ah Fu, the calmness in Ning's eyes gradually disappeared, and finally, it turned into coldness.

She turned to look at Xing Yueqin: "Is this how you taught your son?"

It is not the fault of the son to teach the father, but the father is fighting outside, so shouldn't the education be taken over by the mother!

Now that Yue Lin has become like this, Xing Yueqin is to blame!

Xing Yueqin is going to be numb, and I don't know that Yue Lin will say this, but mother and child are one body, in order not to let the son be punished, Xing Yueqin still said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't do it in front of the child. Those who recite the scriptures, I will immediately remove the scriptures when I go back!"

She is much more sober than when she was a pilgrimage to the emperor. She knows that she can recite scriptures if she has nothing to do, but the head of the Yue family must not be a believer!
"That's the best!" Ning shook her head, then looked at Yue Lin again: "And you!"

Seeing her beloved grandson become like this, Ning was very angry, but also reluctant to scold him, she didn't know how to deal with it for a while!
Yue Lin smiled: "Grandma is worrying about funds?"

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about family matters!" Ning said.

Yue Lin sighed, knowing that she would answer like this.

That's why I have to stand up!

"It's not that my grandson doesn't know anything, I'm already eight years old this year!" Yue Lin said with a smile: "Grandma, I remember you said that grandpa went to the battlefield when he was seven years old, right?"

Ning rolled her eyes, can you compare with him?
Yue Zhenbei had eaten the treasure of genius. When he was seven years old, he was 1.8 meters tall.

How can you be like him?
However, to ask the question...
"You are not interested in Buddhist scriptures at all, are you, are you lying to him?" Ning asked.

"That's natural!" Yue Lin nodded.

"But what's the difference between giving him the money directly and throwing the money to seal the book!" Ning sighed, but she didn't intend to punish Yue Lin.

After all, he didn't become a believer as he imagined, but he was also trying to solve the problem.

Although the proposed method is not very good, it is also a good start.

But Yue Lin shook his head: "No, no, Grandma, in my opinion, not only will we not lose money, but we can also make a lot of money, and even master a business that keeps making money!"

"Oh?" Ning was taken aback, "Why?"

Yue Lin looked around, there are so many people here, both maids and servants, are you sure you want to say it here?

Ning Shi is also a knowledgeable person, and immediately waved his hands when he saw this: "Everyone go down!"

After a while, there were only four people left in the hall.

The Ning family, the servant girl Cuihuan who followed the Ning family for generations, her mother Xing Yueqin, and Yue Lin.

"Can we talk now?" Ning asked.

"Uh, won't you be eavesdropped?" Yue Lin looked around. This place is too spacious. Shouldn't we find a secret room to talk about such confidential matters?

"With me here, no one will eavesdrop!" Ning's eyes widened: "You can rest assured that it is!"

"This..." Yue Lin didn't know where Ning's confidence came from, but since she said so.

"I have a method called movable type printing!"
