sheepskin for melon

In ancient times, the emperor definitely had unparalleled influence.Therefore, after Emperor Jiaming personally changed "Luoyan Temple" to "Efa Temple" and granted a plaque, the origin of "Efa Temple" spread throughout the capital.

The story compiled by Tan Yushu quickly became popular in the streets and alleys, because the ancients also liked to read cool texts.

In other stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies on the market, the protagonist is a poor scholar. For ordinary people, there is still a threshold to introduce.

But Monk Miaofa is said to have been just an idle gangster in the past, too poor to survive, and suddenly one day a "fairy ancestor" came, and he has no worries about food and clothing ever since.

Compared with the previous routine of poor scholars being admitted to the number one scholar, the "ancestor stream" is simply refreshing.

Many people began to dream whether there was a god in their ancestors, and then suddenly came to save him. As long as they have no worries about food and clothing, they can even shave their heads and become a monk!

So there are always many people in front of the booth telling the story of Efa Temple.

When the storytellers discovered this trend, they immediately changed their notebooks, adding a lot of details to compete with their peers.

At this time, many of the notebook writers were poor scholars with somewhat ink in their stomachs. The stories they wrote were not only popular, but also very personal.

The eminent monk Du E, who has transformed into thousands of forms and wandered in the world, is enlightened after being stubborn and unruly. The details are different, but the characters are vivid.

What Tan Yushu provided at the beginning was only a big frame. With the efforts of Mr. Storyteller, the wings of the story gradually became full.

After reading the stories in various versions, Tan Yushu was also eager to get up to speed. He made up a nickname "Dongchuangke", compiled another version of "Du Er Monk Third Crazy Son", and quietly contributed it.

As expected, the original author wrote it himself, this version of the story quickly became popular in Yongjing, and Tan Yushu couldn't help but asked Chi Li to share it.

Pond: ...

You make up my story in front of me, you can really do it.

Unexpectedly, Tan Yushu said with a serious wink and a smile: "Brother Chi, this is just a story for others, but it is a background for you. You appeared in Dayong for no reason. In order to find a suitable background for you to settle down, I came to It took a lot of work these days."

"In the end, I arranged a suitable village for you to settle in. This village burned down the entire village three years ago because of the plague. Only you survived because of the enlightenment of the eminent monk Du'e. Even if His Majesty wanted to investigate, there was no way to investigate. "

"If there are other interested people who want to investigate, then I am the Minister of Household Affairs. No one can surpass me in my territory, and it is more convenient to do it."

So Tan Yushu didn't come to see him a few days ago, was he busy with this matter?Chi Li suddenly felt a little happy.

In any case, the story of the eminent monk Du'er and the Miaofa monk has become the most popular story in Yongjing. Because of this, the Erfa Temple has become famous and there are many pilgrims.

In addition to the most popular "Wu'er monk's third idiot", other derived legends such as "Tan Xianggong got melons in his dream", "Chuanfa Qishan Temple grows winter grass" and the like are also very popular.

The rumor of Tan Yushu's "winter dream offering melons" is wonderful, but after all, it happened at a palace banquet. Only the dignitaries and nobles who attended the banquet were lucky enough to see it. Ordinary people can only rely on imagination, which is always unreal. "Plastic Brocade" can be seen by everyone.

The plastic sheet brought by the pond gravel is not completely transparent, and the shadowy greenery inside can be vaguely seen.In the winter when all grasses are exhausted, such a large piece of green vegetables is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Therefore, every pilgrim who comes to worship Buddha will stop for a short time to see the freshness, and then tell the people around him how wonderful this plastic brocade is.

As soon as the news that the vegetables grown in the "Plastic Brocade" was released, it immediately attracted countless people to watch the excitement, and there was a crowd of spectators.

When the crowd of spectators came to the main hall of the mountain temple, they saw a table set up next to the alms box. The table was full of bundled fresh and tender leeks. People who had been eating cabbage and pickles after winter saw this Suddenly, his eyes turned green, and they asked the monk on duty how to sell the leeks.

Brother Tan Jiu has become the new head of the temple, and after staying in the temple these days, he has already looked decent.

He saluted everyone by chanting the Buddha's name, pointed to the sign next to the leeks, and wrote a few large characters: Give to give.

"Giving charity? Does it mean that you can take away a bunch of leeks if you give something casually?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but when asked, the monks in the temple just called the Buddha's name and did not explain. The Buddha is above, and the onlookers dare not act rashly.

At this time, a little boy with a runny nose stood up, holding a sparrow in his hand: "Grandpa Master, can I exchange the bird I caught for your leek?"

Brother Tan laughed inwardly: Yo, your mouth is so sweet.

But there was still an unfathomable expression on his face, and he said kindly: "Of course, what's your name? Where are you from?"

"I'm Amao from the East Village."

There were three little novice monks standing beside Tan Jiuge. He handed the sparrow to one of the little novice monks, and said kindly, "Take it and release it."

The little monk led the order, and then the other went to the table and picked up a bundle of leeks, handed it to the boy named Amao, and saluted with palms together.

The remaining one picked up a pen to record, and sang in his mouth: "A Maoshi bird in Dongcun, and a bundle of winter leeks."

All the people present were stunned, they really could give anything at will!

With this precedent, the people living in poverty immediately rushed forward. Whether it is giving a headband or a penny, the monks of Efa Temple will give the leeks to the donors. Soon, the leeks on the table will be full. "She" is exhausted.

Brother Tan came forward with a smile and saluted: "Today's merits and virtues have been sacrificed, please come back tomorrow."

The onlookers immediately went into an uproar.

The joy of getting leeks, the leeks in this winter are not enjoyed by the high-ranking officials and gentry, they got them so easily, and they can add another delicious dish to the dinner table when they go home!

And those who didn't get it beat their chests and stamped their feet. Why couldn't they hurry up with such a big deal!

Immediately prepare to get up early tomorrow to grab leeks!

In order to reduce the number of competitors, those who witnessed this scene were all concealed, but when they got home, their relatives would definitely tell, so even if they covered their mouths hard, half of the city knew about it. As early as, it was full of people's heads.

As soon as the leeks were brought up, the crowd who had been waiting for a long time immediately held up the "gift" in their hands and was about to give alms. But at this time, the sound of a vigorous guard of honor came, and a large eunuch came down the mountain surrounded by guards of honor to announce the decree.

When the people present saw the emperor's decree proclaiming the guard of honor, they hurriedly retreated, knelt beside them, and shouted long live.

When the emperor came to order, Chi Li, as the abbot, had to personally meet him, so he went to the hall dressed solemnly, and saluted with palms together.

The Xuanzhi eunuch read out Emperor Jiaming's will with a smile: Her Excellency Ziwei's Taisheng disciple Yuanshi Guangji gave a "Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture". "

My God, even the emperor came to give alms in person, and even called him a disciple!

More knowledgeable attention is placed on the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture". This picture was drawn by a famous Buddhist sage in the previous dynasty. It tells the situation of the Buddha's symposium. Each Arhat Bodhisattva in the painting has a different posture and expression. , ten thousand Buddhas and ten thousand faces, lifelike, is the treasure of the town that is not handed down from generation to generation!Your Majesty is actually willing to part with this picture!

Not to mention, Emperor Jiaming was indeed quite interesting, so Chili graciously gave the eunuch three bundles of leeks, and the eunuch Xuanzhi immediately went back with gratitude.

When the Xuanzhi eunuch returned, the people who wanted to give things looked at the picture of ten thousand Buddhas, and then at the two eggs in their hands, and they didn't dare to go forward.

At this time, another official in purple clothes smiled and went up to the mountain to meet him, but he saw that he was dignified with black wings, his face was like jade, and his eyes were like rippling water. There was also a feeling of inebriation.

The crowd gasped one after another: "Where did this gentleman come from..."

When someone walked over, he suddenly woke up like a dream, excited: "It's Tan Hualang who straddled the street six years ago, and General Tan who defeated the Rong people five years ago! By the way, Tan Hualang, who was gifted with fairy melons in his dream by the eminent monk who crossed Er Mr. Xiang, that's him!

The people next to him suddenly realized: "With such a fairy appearance, it's no wonder that the eminent monk Du'er also stays in his dream."

Because of his status as an emperor, Emperor Jiaming attracted the attention of all the people, and Tan Yushu was simply the focus of attention by nature.

When he came to the main hall, Tan Yushu smiled and asked the two servants to lift up the box. When he opened it, the people around him gasped. There was a neat box of silver ingots!

Tan Yushu bowed and bowed with a smile: "Tan Yushu from Huizhou, who was born in Huizhou, was bestowed with the favor of the eminent monk Du'er. Now I will give you 500 taels of silver. I hope the master will accept it."

God!In an instant, everyone forgot to read Tan Yushu. No matter how good-looking a person is, how can he be as good-looking as money!

Chi Li's eyes fell on him, and he snorted coldly in his heart: he is dressed so ostentatiously, showing off his beauty.

Picking up a bundle of leeks and handing them to him, he paid out 500 taels, which is really generous, and quietly returned it to him when no one was around at night.

First, the emperor gave the painting, and then the beauties gave the silver. The crowd of onlookers was already boiling, and the satisfaction of watching the excitement was far greater than that of the leeks themselves.

And this was not enough, soon more and more dignitaries came to the door, the prime minister sent someone to send a blue glass glazed Tara, and the son of Prince Gong's mansion sent a very powerful guqin...

Chi Li looked at Yuan Ning who came to the door, and gritted his teeth. Fortunately, he still wanted to show his face, so he didn't come empty-handed.

In this way, today's "merits and virtues" are gone again, but this time I replaced the room full of treasures.

When no one was around at night, Chi Li pulled Tan Yushu to count the numbers. Not counting the various gifts, the coins alone would be 5000 taels of silver. good money.

Tan Yushu shook his head in amazement: "Brother Chi is really a genius in business!"

Humph.

No matter at what time, dead farming is the most difficult to make a fortune.If he bought leeks, he could only sell them at a high price, but with the output of his three sheds, how much could he sell?And after finally creating a character like Master Du'er, but selling things under his name, isn't it too degrading?

So Chili packaged ordinary chives as "gongde leeks" and sincerely donated them, selling them for even ten thousand dollars.

But ordinary people can't get enough to eat, so they can lower their face to pick up this bargain. People with status and status don't have face.

No matter who hangs up for you in public, they will compare themselves over time, and this is the money they earn.

And the huge ordinary people will become free advertisements to promote the Efa Temple.

In the final analysis, no matter what kind of industry they engage in, they do not make money from the temple itself.

The Yong Dynasty did not pay taxes to the temples, and allowed the temples to do business. The temples here are almost equivalent to the current banks.

But the Luoyan Temple in the past was not competitive enough compared to other temples in Beijing with unique skills, so the incense has not been very prosperous.

But it’s different now. After changing its name to Efa Temple, it has the big IP of “Eminent Monk Ferry”, so of course it needs to be well managed.

"Gongde Leek" is the logo used by Efa Temple to enhance its core competitiveness.

Up to now, the name of the event has been established, and the benefits have also been obtained, but it lacks a trace of elegance.

So on the third day, when people flocked over again to see the big households vying to donate gold, a down-and-out scholar swaggered in and asked, "Is the gift only for gold, silver and wealth?"

The monk clasped his hands together: "Whatever you give with sincerity, you will receive everything."

This person is Uncle Zhuangzi, he looked up to the sky and laughed out loud, showing his madness: "Bring a pen!"

Seeing this crazy man's unruly words and deeds, everyone was attracted by him, and followed him to the mountain wall in the temple.

I saw that Uncle Zhuangzi's pen was like a dragon and a snake, and he wrote a few large characters quickly: Tiefa Temple Winter Leek.

The scientific examination is held every three years, and those who are far away and inconvenient to travel will stay in Beijing to wait for the examination. However, the rent in Beijing is high, and only the temple is cheaper, so many candidates live in the temple.

For such a lively event, they naturally also came to watch the excitement. Although the gifts given by the dignitaries a few days ago were luxurious, they kept their knowledge and dismissed the gold, silver and dung.

This crazy student just came, these students didn't notice anything, but when he wrote the pen, he was immediately attracted by the strong calligraphy, and as he wrote more and more, the faces of all the students became more and more serious.

The weather was extremely cold, and the ink froze several times, making it impossible to write. Immediately, some students came forward to deliver ink and pens.

Uncle Zhuangzi took it without any scruples, and when he finished writing a long essay of 480 characters, he dropped the wolf hair in his hand, laughed and left with a bundle of leeks.

The remaining students gathered around the wall, their eyes glowing blue, and they muttered aloud.

If the first day is for common people, the second day is for dignitaries, then the third day is for scholars.

In the Yong Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly ruled the world, and the highest status was none other than the literati.

And the reason why literati are literati is that they are educated, so there is a saying that quickly spread in the market——

"480 characters, only the pen is light on princes!"

When everyone dispersed, Chi Li raised his mobile phone, "clicked", and took a picture.
