Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 15 Rebels are at Longxing Temple!

"Brother, I'll tell you one by one!" Zhu Qiwu leaned forward and said.

Afterwards, under Zhu Qiwu's explanation, Zhu Chongba finally understood this strange map.

After some explanations, Zhu Chong showed surprise on his face, and said to Zhu Qiwu:
"Qiwu, what kind of temple are you building here? It's clearly a military camp!"

In Zhu Qiwu's drawing, Longxing Temple looks like a temple on the outside, and there is a big Buddhist hall in the front yard, and everything else is arranged according to a military fortress.

All kinds of bright and dark whistles cooperate with each other, the watchtower and wall stacks are all available, and many tunnels for transporting troops are also arranged.

In particular, the archery towers designed by Zhu Qiwu were all built in the shape of Buddhist pagodas. After all, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, it is a serious crime to build high walls and archery towers at will, except for Buddhist temples and pagodas.

"Hey, Qiwu, you are really amazing. Once these archery towers are set up, anyone who comes more than ten miles away can see them!" Xu Da kept sighing with emotion.

The so-called climbing high and looking far, Longxing Temple is originally located on a small gentle slope, and with the addition of four "pagodas" two feet high, you can have a clear view of the wind and grass within seven or eight miles.

"We think that this troop transporter is truly unique!" Zhu Chongba expressed his appreciation.

"Chongba is right, I also think this troop transport tunnel is very powerful!" Tang He agreed beside him.

Zhu Qiwu designed four troop transport tunnels on the blueprint, leading to a place about [-] feet away from Longxing Temple. Once Longxing Temple is besieged, these troop transport tunnels will not only give them a chance to escape, but also allow them to escape. Carry troops around and attack the incoming enemy.

"It can be attacked and defended. After this Longxing Temple is built, whoever doesn't have ten thousand elite soldiers, don't even think about hurting us!"

Zhu Qiwu is confident in his arrangement.

suddenly.

He thought of another question.

The construction of Longxing Temple this time can be said to be a large amount of work. If it is delayed for too long, the cucumber dishes will be cold.

"Oh, brother, I forgot to ask you, will it take too long for our major repair and construction, or should we reduce the fortification?" Zhu Qiwu asked.

Longxing Temple can be attacked and defended, which is of course the best, but it should also be based on the premise of fast time.

After all, only when Longxing Temple was built could it quickly recruit refugees.

When Zhu Chongba heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Haha, Qiwu, don't worry, we have already asked the craftsmen in Haozhou City, the world is chaotic now, many craftsmen and carpenters are idle and have nothing to do, only need 1000 taels of silver, you can hire a large group of craftsmen and carpenters , our Longxing Temple can wake up in half a month!"

Hearing Zhu Chongba's words... Zhu Qiwu was very happy.

For half a month, that will not delay things at all.

After everything is ready.

Zhu Chongba first went to Haozhou Mansion to send two ingots of gold bars, and won the government's order to allow the construction of a mountain and a temple. Not only was he able to build Longxing Temple to recruit monks, but he also obtained [-] acres of wasteland around Longxing Temple. Sangtian, all taxes and duties will be exempted for three years.

Originally, the Buddhist temples in the Yuan Dynasty should be under the jurisdiction of the Xuanzhengyuan, but now the world is not peaceful, what the Xuanzhengyuan said is basically like farting, and no one in the local government is a bird.

No matter what temple or monastery, as long as money is sent in, it will be reported and approved on the same day.

"Hey, don't tell me, if you want to do great things, you have to be reliable with these corrupt officials!"

After Zhu Qiwu received the order from Longxing Temple, he was immediately overjoyed.

The [-] mu of wasteland around Longxing Temple, although the land is thin and does not grow food, is very useful.

With these [-] acres of wasteland, Zhu Chongba and the others can resettle refugees for reclamation and living in the future, and even have a place for secret military training.

"The order from Longxing Temple has been obtained, can we start work?" Zhu Chongba said impatiently.

"That's right, bro, why don't we start work tomorrow!" Zhu Qiwu said.

"No problem, craftsmen in Haozhou City, we have already made an appointment, and we can start work tomorrow!" Zhu Chongba said with a smile.

As the saying goes, nothing is difficult with money!

The construction of Longxing Temple is no longer a small project, and it will definitely not be built within three to five months in normal times.

But Zhu Chongba has money in his hand!

Once the money is in place, there will be no shortage of materials such as blue bricks, lime, sand, stone, wood, and red tiles.

The craftsmen in Haozhou also came in a large group, more than 100 people, plus [-] strong men hired from nearby villages, it took half a day to dig ditches and build walls.

According to Zhu Chongba's original estimate, the project could be completed in less than half a month.

After Zhu Qiwu made some observations, he made new suggestions to Zhu Chongba.

"Brother, let's set up a dozen lard lamps at night, and manage a meal of mixed vegetables and stewed pork, and we can save another five days of construction time!"

When Zhu Chongba heard this, he was a little embarrassed.

"Wouldn't it be possible to build it in ten days, but if someone takes advantage of the darkness to cut corners and then collapses the house, it will cost a lot."

It is absolutely unprecedented to build a temple in ten days.

When Zhu Qiwu heard it, he didn't take it seriously.

In the entire Longxing Temple, the largest building is the Great Buddha Hall, which was rebuilt from the original land temple, but a layer of white ash was scraped off, and then a clay statue of Buddha was piled up.

In addition, the biggest project is the four 'pagodas' and a surrounding wall, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Brother, don't worry, let's build it earlier, so we can recruit troops one day earlier, right?"

Under Zhu Qiwu's persuasion, Zhu Chongba finally nodded in agreement.

In order to improve the quality of Longxing Temple, Zhu Qiwu also used some tricks.

Zhu Qiwu asked the fourth brother Zhu Chongba to come forward, and first promised to all the craftsmen and young adults that they would give each of them two coins after the completion of the work.

Don't underestimate two renminbi of silver, which is enough for a family of five to have a month's coarse grains.

Everyone was immediately thankful.

"Master Chongba is merciful and merciful!"

"Master Chongba is a living Bodhisattva!"

Zhu Chongba simply used his own name as the dharma name when he issued a monk's ultimatum from the Haozhou government.

Anyway, it's a cheap name, and he doesn't care much.

After a group of craftsmen and young adults thanked them.

Zhu Chong, the Eighth Great Master, said solemnly with a precious face.

"Longxing Temple is a treasure land of Buddhism. When it is being built, it must not be sloppy. Otherwise, even if we don't care about it, the old Buddha is not easy to deceive!"

Then...Zhu Chongba ordered that the names of all Haozhou craftsmen and nearby peasants be written on the blue bricks, and they were going to be built in the wall of Longxing Temple.

"Now, your names are built into the walls of Longxing Temple, which means you have entered the eyes of the Buddha. If anyone works hard and builds a durable brick wall, then the Buddha will bless him with no disease, no disaster, and the safety of his family. If anyone If you dare to fool people, if it rains and winds in the future, the wall will collapse, which is equivalent to hitting the Buddha in the face, and you should know what retribution will be!"
