"I've heard of it! Master Rujing, please tell me! Does this principle have something to do with the problems that Qixia Temple is encountering now?" Some impatient monks immediately started shouting.
"Of course it is related. Think about it, Qixia Temple has been in this situation for at least several decades!" In fact, this is what Zhu Chongba speculated. After all, it has only been a few decades since the Great Yuan Dynasty!
"Yes! Many years!" At this time, an elderly monk finally spoke, because Zhu Chongba's words suddenly cheered him up, because those things in the past were related to his dreams.
When this monk was young, he had to become a monk because of family troubles. However, it turned out that this monk was a scholar, but there were too few people admitted to the imperial examination in the Yuan Dynasty.
According to historical records, since Emperor Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty issued an edict to resume the imperial examination, a total of 16 imperial examinations were held throughout the Yuan Dynasty, and a total of 1,139 people passed the examination.
When this monk was young, he also wanted to pass the imperial examination. However, at that time, Boyan, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, was in power and abolished the imperial examination for two consecutive years. Think about it, the imperial examination was only held every three years.
At that time, this young scholar became a monk out of anger and became a monk. Even today, decades have passed.
"By the way, have you all heard of something in history? It's Shang Yang's reform!" Zhu Chongba said this and glanced at everyone.
"I've heard of it! The gentleman who heard the book said it!"
"As long as you have heard of it! In fact, governing a country and governing a temple have some similarities. If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, it requires people to be diligent in production. The same is true for a temple. It also needs to be diligent in production and increase wealth!" When Zhu Chongba said this, he was observing everyone's reactions very carefully.
Because the following is a very important issue that Zhu Chongba will talk about, because if everyone agrees with what he talks about below, for Zhu Chongba, this time he will assist the abbot of Qixia Temple, which is half the success. .
If a person agrees with your idea from the bottom of his heart, when you ask him to do something next, he will definitely cooperate actively and will not have other ideas.
Zhu Chongba attaches great importance to this point. In Huangjue Temple, Zhu Chongba treats the monks and the old abbot like this. Although Zhu Chongba has different methods for Huangjue Temple, these are specific problem, detailed analysis.
For Qixia Temple, the problems here are different from those of Huangjue Temple, so Zhu Chongba needs to take a different approach. This is to adapt to local conditions. If Zhu Chongba ignores the actual situation here and insists on following Zhu Chongba's If we copy what we did at Huangjue Temple, we may succeed or we may fail.
Zhu Chongba vigorously developed fertilizers, seeds and other businesses in Huangjue Temple because it was surrounded by poor rural areas, so Zhu Chongba could only do this.
Qixia Temple is different here. Although there are vast rural areas near Jinling, Jinling is a city, and it is an important big city located along the Yangtze River.
Why stare at fertilizer when you can do something more powerful here? Of course, if the fertilizers here or other Zhu Chongba's inventions could be sold at a high price, Zhu Chongba would certainly not miss such an opportunity.
After waiting for a long time, a monk finally spoke, "Yes! Although we are monks, we still need to eat and wear clothes. We are human beings too!"
No one has said this before, and no one has ever thought about it this way, but now that someone has said it, it will make everyone think about it.
At this time, Zhu Chongba began to strike while the iron was hot, "This master is right. We are also human beings. In fact, at the beginning, monks were just like ordinary people and were engaged in production. However, many years ago, there was an emperor. It was stipulated that monks were not allowed to give birth, so it was passed down to this day. Don’t you think this is a bit ridiculous?”
"Yes! We are monks, how can we listen to those emperors and old men! We should listen to ourselves and the Buddha!"
"By the way, did Buddha ever say not to allow us to engage in production? Being a monk and engaging in production are completely different things, right?" Zhu Chongba said again.
In this way, Zhu Chongba slowly liberated everyone's minds through this way of talking, and gradually everyone's ideas became consistent.
"Actually, it turns out that we have imprisoned our own ideas, preventing us from seeing our own strength. Now that we are on the edge of the Yangtze River, we can do business! Think about it, when Qixia Temple has more money, everyone's The cost of food and clothing can be taken to a new level. By the way, I also have delicious vegetarian dishes, which I can provide for everyone to taste when the time comes." Zhu Chongba slowly expressed his thoughts.
Because there was so much foreshadowing, everyone now feels that this matter is acceptable. If Zhu Chongba had not said so many words before, and suddenly said these truths, it is estimated that nine out of ten monks would Someone will oppose Master Rujing.
If everyone is opposed to doing this, think about it, is it still necessary to continue doing this?
This is the brilliance of Zhu Chongba and the cleverness of Zhu Chongba. In fact, in Zhu Chongba's view, no matter what you do or who you ask to do it, as long as you think what they think and worry about what they want. , then they will definitely listen to you.
"I have eaten delicious vegetarian dishes and sweet and delicious watermelon at Huangjue Temple. It felt so good. Huangjue Temple can make the food so delicious, why can't we?"
At this time, Zhu Chongba discovered that there were other signs. There must be no internal strife and everything must be calm.
"The reason why Huangjue Temple makes the food so delicious is because I have the recipe. I will tell the monks in the dining hall the recipe later. In this case, I believe everyone will be able to eat delicious vegetarian dishes soon!" Zhu Chongba said loudly.
"Is it true? Master Rujing must keep his word!"
"That's right! Keep your word!"
"I keep my word! So will everyone listen to me in the future?" Zhu Chongba was very solemn when he said this, because the important things are like this and there can be no ambiguity.
This kind of thing is the biggest thing. One thing is one thing, and two things are two things. There can be no ambiguity. .
In fact, this is also Zhu Chongba's experience as a leader. He must have a clear attitude without any ambiguity.
"I like to eat delicious vegetarian dishes!" At this time, a little monk came from nowhere and suddenly said something with a childish voice.
