I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 26 Giving
When He Shao was exchanging market rules with Kou Zhun, he heard chaotic voices outside, some of which were very familiar.

"Kou Xiang, if, I mean if, I offend this group of monks, won't there be any trouble?" He Shao asked cautiously.

"Today's world respects Taoism"

"Then I'm relieved." He Shao heaved a sigh of relief, "Miss Kou, take it easy, I have something to do."

"Where are you going?" Kou Zhun asked.

"Just now I suffered a little loss at Daxiangguo Temple, now of course I have to find the place back"

He Shaosheng was afraid that his people would suffer and ran outside in a hurry, while Kou Zhizhi went to another table behind the screen where He Shao had just been seated.

This man was an upright man in his prime, wearing a gauze hat and a light yellow gown with a nine waist and Liuhe boots. Kou Zhun sat down under this man as soon as he bowed his body.

"No wonder Li Xiang repeatedly recommended this person to the court, but he has a genius"

"That's right, if he is the third envoy, he might be more qualified than me, but I don't think Zizhi will enter the court anymore," Kou Zhun said.

"Wouldn't it be a pity for such talent to be lost to the people?"

"Official, this is a smart man, why not let him make his own decisions? Besides, even if he is in business, he is still in the hands of the official," Kou Zhun laughed.

Because it was an unsheltered meeting, there were people coming and going around the Daxiangguo Temple, some were carrying the burden and selling sauce, some were selling along the street, some were asking for lottery and divination, and some were doing juggling, in short, it was very lively.

But there was chaos at the main entrance, and some monks held sticks and blocked a group of ragged Hanako outside.

"Hanako, if you want money, it's outside, you can't enter the main entrance"

"Isn't the Uncovered Conference providing meals for free?"

He Si took off his clean clothes and went back to his old business, bringing his former colleagues to the front.

"You want to be beautiful for free? If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rough." A monk glared.

"and many more…."

He Shao hastened to hurry and finally arrived

"You are tall and bald, just now you told me that my money is to support all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three times, and to make good fortune for the poor and lonely."

"This... this..." the monk was speechless for a while, "so many people broke in, it will definitely disturb the order of the Unsheltered Assembly"

"It's not easy"

He Shao shook his hand
"Everyone lined up in two rows in an orderly manner, serving people's bowls must be controlled by others, and if you want to eat, you must abide by the rules of Daxiangguo Temple"

Many of these beggars in Suoerfang knew He Shao, so they lined up in two rows on their own initiative, and did not have any disputes with the passers-by on both sides.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a monk hurried back to the meditation room, and soon a monk with a fat head and big ears in a red cassock came out among the guards of the monks.

"The poor monk Huiyuan presided over the Daxiangguo Temple, what is the riot?"

"I don't know where these Hanakos heard about the Daxiangguo Temple's unsheltered meeting to give food, so they all come here."

"The Unsheltered Conference is not a place for fasting, everyone please go back," said Huiyuan monk.

"The abbot's words are wrong. According to records, Emperor Wu of Liang and his father had the honor to set up four unsheltered meetings in Tongtai Temple. From then on, the unsheltered meeting was not only a Sanskrit language, but also a charity meeting.

Master Xuanzang's "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" records that the Jieri King Unsheltered Conference, in addition to making offerings to the Buddhas, donated to 30 poor and lonely people.

And just now when the master asked for money for offering to the Buddha, he also said that he was giving to the poor and unable to live on his own. Could it be that in the Song Dynasty, the Unsheltered Assembly changed the rules and became a means for the master to collect money? "

Just now he and Kou Zhun inquired about some things about the Unsheltered Conference, and now he directly responded to the monk.

"The Unsheltered Conference is naturally a charity conference, but Daxiangguo Temple did not receive too many offerings this time."

Huiyuan was at a loss for words for a while, even if it was the truth, he didn't dare to admit that he made money by relying on the Uncovered Conference, so he could only find a random reason to prevaricate.

"No way, I see that the Buddha in Xiangguo Temple is covered with gold powder, and the masters' cassocks are beautiful, it doesn't look like they have no money.

What's more, the Buddha said that it is false to regard the body as false, but it is urgent to benefit others.The compassion of the Buddha once cut meat to feed eagles. If the real body is alive, if it can benefit all living beings in the world, can it be given up?What's more, copper cast iron cast gold? "A bystander also questioned.

"Yes, the Buddha can cut his flesh into an eagle, why can't you give up the bronze statues to save the world?" Many people also echoed.

"I have knelt in front of the Buddha for 3000 years, but I have not seen my Buddha's heart feel pity. It is because the dust covered the Buddha's eyes, and it turned out that there was no incense money."

He Shao also wrote a doggerel, the angry Huiyuan was almost born with one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Moreover, no matter from the perspective of Buddhism or righteousness, he cannot refute. If he refuses to agree, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the crowd, so he can only hold back his anger and say

"The Uncovered Conference is a charity conference. From today onwards, Daxiangguo Temple will open a porridge shed to help the world's poor."

"Congee? This is not acceptable! The masters in the temple eat water Suohua and poultry vegetables, and drink Boruo soup. It is not stingy to just give up porridge!"

"In addition to porridge, there are other meats"

"Thank you Master"

"You are a Living Buddha..."

The group of beggars heard the constant cheers of monks wanting to donate meat.

He Si tugged at the corner of He Shao's clothes, with a little excitement on his brows

"Young master, not only Suoerfang, but Huazi from the entire Kaifeng city may have come here in the past two days."

The Song Dynasty was also an era with the most beggars. God knows how many beggars there are in Kaifeng.

It would be fine if he was a real moral eminent monk, no matter how much he made offerings, he would have no complaints, but he had just been cheated a thousand times by these fake monks, and He Shao would not be relieved if he didn't let them all spit it out.

"I hope this fat monk is more interesting. It has been less than 50 years since the Three Wus and one sect exterminated Buddha. If they dare to amass money so blatantly, who knows if they will be the next to cut off their heads?"

In the next few days, all the Hanakos in the city gathered outside the Daxiangguo Temple, Huiyuan gritted his teeth and took out all the money in the temple to help them survive this open meeting.

The instigator was very unrestrained, and Wanchun Building purchased more and more alcohol every day. He Shao glanced at the account books recorded by Ji Zai, and there were [-] yuan in the account every day.

But yesterday and today, there were tens of thousands of catties and nearly [-] catties, which has doubled several times at once, and the wine storage in Solfang winery is already a bit stretched.

He Shao also heard some bad rumors. Pei Yi, as the leader of the restaurant industry, spoke with a high degree of professionalism. For a while, the trend of banning alcohol in the court intensified.

The news has spread throughout the Kaifeng city. Those wealthy households and many officials are afraid that once the implementation is implemented, there will be no more spirits to buy in the market, so they hoard crazily.

Those who can afford the silver bottle wine are either rich or noble, and these people's first choice has become the stronger drunken wine. According to this situation, the silver bottle wine will be completely squeezed into the garbage dump after a while , did not expect such a change.

Solfang's Guozhao was steaming rice and wine at full capacity, and He Shao was already thinking about how to deal with the worst situation.

As for making peace with Fan Lou?As long as Fan Lou doesn't admit defeat and admit his mistakes, he will think of other ways to deal with it.
