The Nirvana Dharma Ceremony held in Tianlongyuan began the second day of hustle and bustle, but in the Golden Needle Hall, it was very quiet at the moment.
The first seat of the Golden Needle Hall is deeply beautiful, the first seat of the Bodhi Hall is Yuanyuan, and the first seat of the Xuanye Hall is preaching. Three eminent monks in the Bodhisattva realm are sitting at the top. Sitting on the side is Xu Gu, the elder of the west hall of the Golden Needle Hall. The four monks are listening to Xing Zhenhe. Mingjue recalled what happened last night.
After hearing this, both Liaoyuan and Hongdao were very happy. Liaoyuan said: "So, Mingshi agrees, great!"
Hongdao also put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, this is the blessing of my Buddhist sect!"
Mingjue said: "Yes, this time it was fortunate that the successful benefactor tried hard to persuade him, and Taoist Master Zhao agreed to take it out. However, he said that the Buddha treasure should be returned to the Buddhist sect. Such a big matter needs to be reported to the Taoist sect."
"It's not like I gave it back in vain, we exchanged it for "The Picture of the Ten Sons of Xuanyuan". "The Picture of the Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" is a treasure left by Taoist Songxue. I still feel bad after taking it out."
Mingjue nodded: "That's right. Now we are waiting for the Taoist sect's final reply. Taoist priest Zhao said that the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" is an old thing from the Yuhuang Pavilion. If it is exchanged, it will not fall into his hands, but this mandala But it was a magic weapon given to him by Master Tongwei Hua for his personal use. The difference cannot be calculated by reason. If Cheng An had not come forward, he would definitely not accept it."
Hongdao shook his head from the side: "This Taoist Master Zhao cares too much about personal gain. No wonder, this is a common problem among Taoist monks, but the concerns cannot be ignored."
Xu Gu suddenly asked: "Mingjue, if he has any other conditions, please tell me."
Mingjue said quickly: "He said that he hopes that we can sell some military horses to the Ming Dynasty and pay him real money. In this way, he can also explain it. In addition, he also hopes that he can be allowed to station a shopkeeper at the Jinbo Club. Set up a warehouse, participate in the bulk purchase of goods by Jinbo Club, and have the right to participate in bidding at the auction house."
What does it mean? Regarding the request made by Zhao Ran, a Taoist monk, the three Bodhisattva-level monks in the hall were a little unsure for a while. Why did this good-looking person talk about the business of breeding goods?
Xu Gu was thoughtful and interjected, asking: "Is it possible that he wants to be transferred to Songfan?"
Mingjue said: "Elder Xugu is wise. Taoist priest Zhao said that after his mission this time, he will be transferred to Baimayuan of Songfan as a Taoist priest when he returns. This is to find a way to make a living for the people under his rule."
As Zhao Ran is the envoy of the Taoist sect, Golden Needle Hall must have known him. Shenxiu smiled and reconciled to Hongdao: "This Ming envoy is currently the abbot of Wujiyuan in Guyang County. In addition to being a monk, he is also Working in Shifang Jungle, he can be regarded as a quite interesting figure in the Taoist sect."
Hongdao asked: "The Taoist sect has always been separate from the spiritual and secular branches. Could it be that they will merge into one in the future and follow the example of our Buddhist sect?"
Shen Xiu said: "This Taoist envoy is a special case. Currently, he is the only one in the Taoist sect who combines Taoism and secularism. However, there has been an uproar in the Ming Dynasty recently. I heard that Jian Jiguan does have such a plan, but I don't know what it is."
Liao Yuan didn¡¯t care about the fusion of ¡°morality and custom¡±. He only cared about the terms of exchange, so he asked Mingjue: ¡°Don¡¯t Jinbo Auction House often auction goods from the Ming Dynasty? Why add such a line? Isn¡¯t it unnecessary?¡±
Mingjue said: "Daozhang Zhao said that these are private and spontaneous actions of merchants. The risks are very high, and some things are not allowed to be purchased, and they cannot be shipped back to Ming Dynasty. He wants us to officially give him an authorization , allowing him to purchase goods while ensuring that he can transport the purchased goods back to Ming Dynasty."
Xu Gu interjected: "Speaking of risks, he came to us to do business so openly. Can the Daomen agree? Can the Ming Dynasty agree? Last year, the Du Tenghui of the Tianhe Palace of the Daomen Songfan was inspected by Jian Jiguan for a period of time. I heard that one of them is doing business with our Xia Kingdom privately, isn¡¯t this envoy afraid?¡±
Mingjue shook his head: "I don't know what he thought about it. But when I was in Wudang Mountain, I saw him talking and laughing with the Taoist Jianjiguan Zhenshi Hall's real masters and Taoists. A great monk in the Taoist realm like Zhang Dazhen also said He is quite hypocritical, and his roots must be extremely hard."
Shen Xiu in the hall had been listening carefully. He nodded when he heard this and told Xu Gu: "Put this Ming Envoy on the first-class list of your West Hall and focus on it from now on."
After Xu Gu agreed, Shenxiu asked him again: "What do you think, Junior Brother Xu Gu, of this Ming Envoy's request?"
Xu Gu replied: "Although the market is prohibited in the Ming Xia, in fact, merchants have continued to interact with each other. Officials turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior in private, because it is indeed beneficial to people's livelihood. It is strictly prohibited. There are only a few things, cattle and horses for our side, and iron, grain and salt for Ming Dynasty. The Ming envoy Zhao Zhiran¡¯s plan is probably for cattle and horses.¡±
Shenxiu and Yuan and Hongdao both fell silent. After a while, Shenxiu looked at Yuan and Hongdao, and Yuan and Hongdao were silent.The Taoists all nodded slightly, then Shen Xiu said: "Mingjue, Xingzhen, you go and reply to the Ming envoy Zhao Zhiran. He proposed to set up a warehouse in Jinbo Club. We agree, but we must not openly use the banner of Ming Dynasty and Taoism. . In addition, when purchasing goods, cattle and horses are not among them, and the rest can be left alone."
Mingjue hesitated and said, "In this case, I'm afraid that Taoist Master Zhao won't agree."
Shen Xiu said: "That's the reply."
After the discussion was over and the three leaders had left, Xu Gu called Xingzhen over and asked privately: "Are Ming envoys Zhao Zhiran and Cheng'an close friends?"
Xingzhen replied: "We are indeed familiar with each other. We met last night. Zhao Zhiran also gave Cheng'an a calligraphy painting to see if it was written last month."
Xu Gu asked again: "When you were talking last night, what was unusual about Cheng'an?"
Xingzhen thought for a while and said, "There aren't many abnormalities. If there is, he complained a few words to Zhao Zhiran, saying that he was homesick and wanted to return to Ming Dynasty. Zhao Zhiran asked Cheng'an to go back with him, but Long was The two masters Yang and Wu Lan changed the subject."
Xu Gu muttered: "This is not abnormal. Everyone has homesickness. If Cheng An doesn't complain, it would be abnormal."
After Xingzhen exited, he met Mingjue waiting outside the door. The two of them came to the Main Hall. Today, Master Wenyin came on stage to give a lecture. The lecture hall was full of people. Monks, dignitaries and believers from all over the country listened intoxicated. .
The two of them walked up to Zhao Ran, who was sitting upright and listening to the lecture, and Mingjue whispered: "Director Zhao, can you interrupt me for a moment?"
Zhao Ran nodded and got up, signaled to Zhang Juzheng that he should go out for a while, and then followed Mingjue and Xingzhen to the outer side hall.
Mingjue said: "This morning, several leaders of Tianlongyuan discussed together and agreed that the Taoist Master wants to open a permanent business store in Jinbo Club."
Zhao Ranxi said: "That's really good! Thank you both!"
Mingjue paused and said: "Except for cattle and horses, Taoist priests are allowed to purchase other goods. All the customs clearance in our Xia country are allowed. However, the Taoist priest's business store cannot display the banner of Ming Dynasty or Daomen. Therefore, it is necessary for the Taoist priest to give him another name"
Zhao Ran¡¯s face immediately darkened: ¡°Can¡¯t purchase cattle and horses? Then what¡¯s the point of setting up a store?¡±
Mingjue was a little embarrassed and said: "I hope the Taoist Master will understand that cattle and horses cannot be imported into the Ming Dynasty. This is our national policy in Daxia. Furthermore, Jinbo Auction House still has many goods for bidding, such as snow lotus and other precious medicinal materials. The difference is Is it what Song Fan needs?"
Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "Master Mingjue, you have to understand Pindao's painstaking efforts! Pindao left the mandala Buddha treasure in your Tianlongyuan. This behavior is suspected of supporting the enemy! You can't purchase cattle and horses. How will I face you when I go back? How can you protect yourself against your fellow comrades?"
