Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

But people can't help but draw their swords.

Abbot Jingfa stared at Zhang Dun, and asked, "I wonder what Zhang Shaoyin invited the poor monk to come over?"

Zhang Dun suppressed his smile and said seriously: "The three of us want to send some incense money to your temples and Taoist temples."

The two stared at him without saying a word.

Take a knife and invite them to come over. I am afraid that this incense money will not be so easy to get.

"Of course, I need your help."

Zhang Dun continued: "The three of us came from Hedong Road and brought 20 pieces of bamboo furniture. We hope to sell these bamboo furniture through Guiguan and Guimiao."

Liu Wuzi frowned and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, is this inappropriate?"

Abbot Jingfa even refused directly: "Zhang Shaoyin, Buddhism is a pure place, and it never does business."

"You two misunderstood."

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "This money is not for us to enrich ourselves, it is all for the disaster victims in Hedong Road."

Chapter 270 I Believe Buddha and Lu Zu Can Understand What You Do

"There has been a severe drought in Hedong Road for months, and tens of thousands of victims have been displaced. Let them have enough food and clothing. The imperial court still has the ability."

Zhang Dun sighed, and said worriedly: "However, some people take advantage of the disaster to annex the people's fields. The people lost their land and became victims of the disaster. The government's money can relieve the victims for a while, but not for a long time. "

"So, I help the victims, weave bamboo tools out of the local bamboo, and then the General Manager's Office is responsible for selling them."

"The money sold will be given to the victims, and the victims will use the money to redeem their land and houses."

"In this way, the victims will have fields to cultivate and houses to live in, and the disaster situation on Hedong Road will be completely resolved."

Hearing this, Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi couldn't help but look serious, and their impression of Zhang Dun changed greatly.

"Zhang Shaoyin works for the country and the people, and the poor monk admires him."

Abbot Jingfa clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha, then stared at Zhang Dun, and said, "It's just that the poor monk doesn't understand why Zhang Shaoyin wants the poor monk and this Taoist priest to come here?"

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice, "Because I encountered some problems when I was selling bamboo utensils."

"According to my original idea, the three of us imperial envoys brought bamboo tools to Hebei Road, which was not affected by the disaster, sold the things to wealthy merchants, and brought back the money to the victims."

"But!" Zhang Dun raised his palm, pointed in the direction of Hedong Road, and said:

"There is a Chen family in Jinyang County where the Hedong Daozhi is located, and the local gentry, but relying on their connections, they persuaded the wealthy merchants here not to buy the bamboo tools in our hands."

Wuzi Liu frowned and said, "The Chen family Zhang Shaoyin talked about, and those noble gentry, don't want the victims to redeem all the fields in their hands?"

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Wuzi was puzzled and said, "Let the victims redeem their fields and houses at the original price, and they will not lose money. Why would they do this?"

"It seems to be a good loss, but it is actually a big loss."

Zhang Dun explained patiently: "How much did they spend to take advantage of the disaster in Hedong Road to annex the common people's land?"

"If it is based on the price in a good year, it is at least several times more than what they bought the people's fields."

"The price of buying one field in a good year can buy four or five fields in a bad year."

Hearing this, the expressions of Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi changed slightly.

They were monks, and when they heard these things, they didn't think deeply about it. After listening to Zhang Dun's explanation, they couldn't help feeling a little angry.

Liu Wuzi scolded: "These people are nothing!"

"The Taoist priest is kind, this official thinks so."

Zhang Dun looked at Liu Wuzi with admiration, and said, "But the problem is stuck here. The Chen family of the Hedong Daozhi Office and those noble gentry are now obstructing it, so I have to find another way to find the Taoist priest and the abbot for help." .”

Liu Wuzi said righteously: "It is a blessing for the poor to be able to do something for the disaster victims in Hebei Province."

After speaking, he glanced at Abbot Jingfa.

Abbot Jingfa clasped his hands together, and said in a calm tone: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is a great merit. Zhang Shaoyin is willing to share this great merit with the poor monk. How dare the poor monk shirk?"

"Zhang Shaoyin, what do you want this poor monk to do?"

"The words of the Taoist priest and the abbot are very comforting to me."

Zhang Dun looked at the two with emotion, then picked up the bamboo comb from the stone table, and said, "This is a bamboo comb. I want your temple to buy some goods."

Jingfa: "..."

Liu Wuzi looked at the bamboo comb strangely, then at Abbot Jingfa's shiny forehead, and a strange feeling came to his mind.

The corner of Abbot Jingfa's mouth twitched a few times, and he said, "Zhang Shaoyin, are you joking with the poor monk?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the top of his head with no hair, "Look at the top of the poor monk's head, can you use a bamboo comb?"

Zhang Dun shook his head, "It's not for you to use, but to sell it with your hands!"

"I will ask people to send these bamboo tools to your temple, and you will help to consecrate them."

Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi and Abbot Jingfa looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This……"

The two hesitated for a long time before Abbot Jingfa said, "It will take a lot of time to consecrate 20 pieces of bamboo furniture."

Zhang Dun waved his hand and explained patiently: "It won't take so long."

"It is to unload the goods and put them in your temple for one day, and take them away the next day."

Abbot Jingfa was surprised and said, "Isn't this a lie?"

"That's a bad word!"

Zhang Dun looked serious, pointed to the sky above his head and said: "Buddhism is a pure place, and it is also a place to worship Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. When bamboo tools enter the temple, it is tantamount to being accepted by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. What is the difference between this and consecration?"

"The abbot only needs to nod his head to complete this charitable deed. The victims of the entire Hedong Road will thank you, abbot. Compared with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they can also think about it."

"..."

Is this something you can't figure out?

Abbot Jingfa slandered in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong, and couldn't help but asked, "Can this work?"

"It's man-made."

Zhang Dun smiled, and could see that Abbot Jingfa didn't have much resistance to this matter, so he looked at Liu Wuzi and asked:

"Liu Daochang, it's the same on your side, do you have any objections?"

Priest Liu Wuzi said without hesitation: "No!"

If there is another opinion, I am afraid that Zhang Shaoyin in front of him can replace Lu Zu and accept him!

"In that case, I'm here to thank you for the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road!"

Zhang Dun took a few steps back solemnly, and bowed heavily to the two of them.

Immediately he straightened up, turned his head to Han Xing and Wang Feng who were standing not far away, and said loudly:

"Vice General Han, Vice General Wang, you all heard what I just said!"

"This matter must be done well, and there must be no mistakes, understand?"

"No!" The two clasped their fists in agreement.

Abbot Jingfa clasped his hands together and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, if there is nothing else, the poor monk will leave."

Wuzi Liu also saluted and said, "Retire, poor Taoist."

"I'll send it to you."

Zhang Dun smiled and sent the two outside the gate of the mansion. When he came back, he saw Changsun Wuji and Du Yan looking at him strangely.

Zhang Dun frowned, "Mr. Du, Mr. Grandson, there is something wrong with your eyes."

Du Yan said in a low tone: "Zhang Shaoyin, it's the first time I've seen you explain the consecration like you did."

Changsun Wuji said directly: "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

It was the first time for him to let Buddha and Lu Zu do things for you. The most important thing was that in Changsun Wuji's opinion, it was a bit disrespectful.

Zhang Dun sighed, "I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to save the victims in Hedong Road."

Du Gong and Changsun Wuji were silent.

As he said, the most urgent task is to quickly deal with the victims in Hedong Road.

They could see that Zhang Dun was only using bamboo tools to deal with the victims inside and outside Jinyang County.

Once this matter can work, he will definitely implement this method in the next step.

If the victims cannot be properly resettled, once the civil uprising is eliminated, what they are doing now will not only be in vain, but I am afraid they will not be able to return to Chang'an City safely.

Chapter 271 Zhang Shaoyin, wealthy businessmen are here

Du Yan asked: "What to do next?"

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes, and said in a meaningful tone: "I plan to ask Lin Changshi to help us promote it first."

"Listen to you!" Changsun Wuji made a decisive decision, stood up and called Lin Changshi over.

After hearing Zhang Dun's arrangement, Lin Mo clicked his tongue for a while, but still nodded emphatically, and sent someone to do it immediately.

"Have you heard that there is a disaster on Hedong Road!"

In the afternoon of that day, in the huge Guixiang County, the news about the disaster in Hedong Road spread to all the cities and towns.

"There is a court in the disaster!"

"I heard that this incident has something to do with our Hebei Road."

"What do you mean?"

In Guixiang County, in a square city, when someone said that, the surrounding people immediately surrounded him curiously.

The man said patiently: "I heard that three imperial envoys have come from Hedong Road, bringing hundreds of thousands of bamboo tools made by the victims!"

"We, Abbot Jingfa of Baojing Temple in Guixiang County, and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi of Baima Taoist Temple, went to see three imperial envoys."

"They said that for the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road, these hundreds of thousands of bamboo tools will be consecrated!"

Hearing this, someone exclaimed: "How long will it take for so many things!"

The person who delivered the news said with a smile: "I heard that the monks of Baojing Temple and the Taoist priests of Baima Taoist temple consecrated it overnight after receiving the items."

"Think about it, those bamboo tools have been consecrated by temples and Taoist temples, whoever buys them will get the protection of Buddha and Lu Zu!"

"Can't you have good luck year after year and make a lot of money every day? Worst of all, it can guarantee fewer illnesses and fewer disasters!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the people around immediately lit up.

Buy those bamboo utensils, can you have good luck year after year?Make a fortune every day?Even if you can't make a lot of money, can you have fewer illnesses and fewer disasters?

That's right, after all, it was consecrated, or Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to consecrate bamboo tools together!

Among the people, some people couldn't help asking: "When will it be sold?"

The man shook his head and said earnestly, "I don't know. Anyway, let's keep our eyes open. If it's really on sale, let's hurry up and buy it!"

Throughout the afternoon, rumors about the consecration of the bamboo tools were widely circulated.

"Zhang Shaoyin, Zhang Shaoyin!"

At dusk that day, Zhang Dun, Changsun Wuji, and Du Yan were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea in the Weizhou Governor's Mansion.

Lin Changshi suddenly walked hurriedly, shouting loudly and came over.

Changsun Wuji and Du Yan looked at him curiously. Why did Lin Changshi suddenly come at this time?

Zhang Dun looked at Lin Changshi, who couldn't hide his excitement, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It seemed that the plan was successful.

"Lin Changshi."

Zhang Dun stood up calmly, cupped his hands at him with a smile on his face, and said, "What happened?"

"Good thing, great thing!"

Lin Changshi smiled from ear to ear, and said, "Just now, those wealthy businessmen you met today came to look for humble jobs again."
