Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Master Long Yang and Zhao Ran exchanged greetings for a moment, and then said: "Today, the poor monk went for a walk in Cuiming Mountain. Someone has started to build the mountain road and the mountain gate. He also saw the land being leveled on the mountain flat. Everything is as planned by Cheng Dong's family.  I'm afraid there won't be five or six hundred people working on it at the same time, so it will be lively and prosperous. I wonder when it will be completed?"

    Zhao Ran said: "In a few days, there will be 300 people entering the mountain. They are all experienced craftsmen invited from nearby Xingqing Prefecture, including many master craftsmen from Kaifeng Prefecture. It is expected that the mountain road and mountain gate will be repaired within two months, and then construction of various parts of the villa will begin.  In September next year, we will start construction of the temple and build the monks' residence, and initially regulate the gardens. We will strive to complete the construction of the entire villa and medicinal plantation by the end of the following year. After completion, the monks of your temple can move into the other courtyard.  According to your temple¡¯s request, no additional carvings or paintings will be done, this is already the fastest progress.¡±

    With that said, Zhao Ran unfolded the plan in front of Master Long Yang and introduced the start and completion dates of each location one by one.

    Master Long Yang has seen the plan of Cuiming Villa so many times that he has already known it by heart, but every time he opens it, he is as excited as when he saw it for the first time.  Abbot Long Ji made fun of him more than once, saying that if he continued to read, he might lose his Buddhist heart and his realm.

    However, Master Long Yang sighed and said to his senior brother: "It has been six hundred years, but our temple has never had such a prosperous opportunity. I still remember the instructions of the master before his death. The words are still in my ears now When this villa is completed, forget it."  But it is a master¡¯s last wish, even if my realm falls, I will have no regrets or regrets. This so-called enlightenment"

    At this moment, Long Yang, who kept rubbing the plan with his fingers, stared at it for a long time and murmured: "Okay, okayI wonder what the difficulty is? If there is any use for our temple, please feel free to give me the instructions."

    Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "The biggest difficulty is the problem of preparing materials. We have already negotiated the price with the Yeli family earlier. We will cut wood from the mountain forests in the valleys on the left and right sides There is a small rocky mountain next to it that can be quarried It's close to  It's very close, which is why I chose Cuiming Mountain. But no matter how close it is, after all, the volume of cubic meters is very large, and a large part of the construction period of Cuiming Villa is devoted to this In addition, there are also issues such as leveling the land.  . I wonder if there is any way in your temple, such as um, using Buddhist Dharma it can save at least several months, or even a year in advance."

    This is purely the sequelae of Zhao Ran's "abuse" of the Five Color Master's Taoism during the construction of Junshan - after he got used to it, he always couldn't help but think of this efficient construction method.

    Abbot Long Yang said he would never shirk the construction of a separate courtyard for his own temple. He would immediately dispatch more than a dozen monks on standby in Xingqing Mansion to cut wood and quarry stone.

    Zhao Ran felt that he had almost finished what needed to be said. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, gently twisting the tea leaves in the water with the lid of the cup. The meaning was very clear - Master, go away, it's late at night, shall we?  Time to leave?

    Unexpectedly, the old monk had no consciousness of being a guest at all. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then put down the cup and continued to sigh: "Master Cheng, if I hadn't met you, our temple would have been extremely difficult this year. Every day  When the poor monk thought of the more than 200 people in the temple and the dozen or so children in the temple who were waiting to be fed, he couldn't help but feel very lucky"

    Zhao Ran thought to himself, this old monk keeps talking over and over again. I don¡¯t know what he is up to?  Then he said: "Master, why should you be so polite? If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

    Long Yang's face turned red and he slowly said: "Although our temple is in embarrassment on a daily basis, it has endured like this for hundreds of years. The reason why it has reached the extreme this year is all because of greed and its inability to cope with the disaster. This time  The owner knows what happened. But this time the Xingqing Prefecture¡¯s snow lotus hype was not limited to our temple. As far as the poor monk knows, Longmatai Temple in Xingqing Prefecture also had thousands of taels folded in it. If it weren¡¯t for them  If you catch the opportunity early, I'm afraid the losses will be more"

    Zhao Ran was amused. Jinbo's small group made over 100,000 taels of silver from the sniper attack on Xuelian. Together with a group of well-connected and quick-sighted forces around them, they made a total of no less than 300,000 taels. Of course, most of them came from Yan.  What was taken out of the pockets of the instigators of the Huilou Li family, such as speculative traders, small wealthy families, and even some temples also contributed a lot.

    Longmatai Temple ranks low among the temples in Xingqing Prefecture, so it is also among the losers.  However, Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple, Jietan Temple, Buddha Temple and other major temples made a lot of money due to the tip-off from the Liang family, Gao family and Ye Lijia. Chengtian Temple alone made a profit of 20,000 silver!

    Otherwise, you think that Jin Bo Xiao Group can make so many silver and be safe for it?  Zhao Ran heard that many of Li's back-up staff had been suppressed. This is the principle of eating together and wearing clothes together.  This is also a trick commonly used by Houdang, and Zhao Ran still admires it.

    Then I heard Master Long Yang continue: "The poor monk doesn't want to be troublesome, but there is one thingTemples like ours also suffered heavy losses in this year's Great White Disaster, and I lost a lot of money buying snow lotus.  The abbot of the temple, Master Wulan, approached the poor monk and hoped that the poor monk could help introduce Cheng Dong's family. They said they didn't know if they could follow the example of Tianmatai Temple"

    After Zhao Ran knew that he had set a precedent for Tianmatai Temple, many temples became interested and wanted to take a piece of the pie.

    But he has been "serving" for half a year overdue, and has been waiting for the Ming Sanqing Hall to send someone to take over the handover so that he can leave.  Now that the store has been built and is operating well, he has sent back a lot of information. The task has been completed long ago. His fingers are also filled with a large amount of exchanged real money and precious medicinal materials. He is ready to run away at any time. How can he have time to care about these nosy things?  .

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

    So he declined politely and said: "Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

    "Chengdong, please tell me."

    "How much is your temple worth now? Master, right?"

    Long Yang¡¯s face lit up: ¡°Our temple currently has 60,000 taels of property, and there are still 3,000 shares of Tianma Pharmaceutical in hand.¡±

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

    "this¡­¡­"

    "Together with all kinds of goods, the total equivalent of silver is just over 500,000 yuan! Master knows that Gao Dayanei is the eldest son of the Yin family in Kaifeng Prefecture. There is not much difference in the data in my hand. In other words, just expensive  The temple is worth more than 30% of the annual income of the entire Xingqing Mansion last year."

    "This is still relying on Cheng Dong's family"

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

    Long Yang looked at Zhao Ran blankly, seeming to realize something.

    Zhao Ran spread his hands: "So, the cake in the poolthere is only so much rice in the pot. If you take one more bite, others will take one less bite. If there are more people eating, everyone will eat less. It makes sense.  It¡¯s that simple¡­ In the short term, it¡¯s not replicable.¡±

    Long Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "The poor monk also knows that this is an unkind invitation, but I still ask Cheng Dongjia to think of a way."

    Zhao Ran frowned: "Master, I have explained the truth so thoroughly, master still" Seeing the pleading in Long Yang's eyes, he said helplessly: "Then what special products are produced in the other temple?"  ?For example, the elixir they refined cannot be refined by others?"

    "It comes from the same lineage as my Tianmatai Temple, and the formula of the elixir is similar. I can't think of it at the moment"

    ¡°Then, do they have any place with unique scenery and pleasant climate where they can live a long life?¡±

    "Black Holy Mountain is also a barren mountain, and it is located in a remote place. In terms of resources, it is only slightly better than our temple's Tianmatai Mountain, but in terms of danger, it far exceeds our temple"

    "That's itMaster, you see, your temple is the same type of temple as theirs. In terms of business, they are in a competitive relationship and cannot complement each other very well. Let them come in to eat, even if we all agree  , Master, can you be willing?"

    Long Yang folded his hands and said: "Our temple is willing. Cheng Dongjia's heartfelt words just now are really for our temple. The poor monk thanked Cheng Dongjia, but Jialan Temple is different! Jialan Temple and our temple were a thousand years ago.  It was passed down by the ancestors of the ancestors, and our temple has been helping each other. Over the past few hundred years, our temple has experienced many disasters, and it was only through the help of Jialan Temple that we were able to survive. Now, under the care of the Chengdong family, our temple can be regarded as a  We have hope, and because of this, we cannot leave them alone"

    ¡°¡­Wait a minute, what temple are you talking about?¡±

    "Jialan Temple, Chengdong's family, if I am not a practitioner, I may have never heard of it. Well, in fact, even if I am a practitioner, very few have heard of it. Just like our temple"

    Zhao Ran was confused for a moment, why hadn¡¯t he heard of it?  He had heard so much!
