It turns out that Huang Shougong and Huang Yuwai had a dream. In the dream, their ancestral mulberry garden suddenly bloomed with lotus flowers overnight. Moreover, an old monk came and told him that this land was related to Buddhism. If he could let it out, then It will be a great merit.
The ordinary people who came to ask for land would not give it away unless Huang Shougong lost his mind. Now that the Buddha appeared to him in a dream, how could he dare to shirk it!
Huang Shougong approached Liang Chuan, and Liang Chuan was shocked by his words. It wasn't that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. He couldn't even explain his own secrets. How could he believe that there were no such supernatural events in this world? He has experienced several such things in his own body alone.
The Taoist temple in Suzhou City is a good example of the child coming to repay his kindness. There is also the legend of Bao Zheng and Di Qing. The most evil one is Linghu Chuan, a living god. How dare he not believe it.
What he was curious about was which monk was looking for him in the dream!
In Qingyuan City, he met a Taoist monk. Unfortunately, Master Hongyi wandered to nowhere, and his experience with him was quite legendary. It was not because of him that Yuetai Temple became popular again.
Huang Shougong found the Wanda Chamber of Commerce, and Liang Chuan happened to be in the chamber of commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce has purchased a new batch of goods, most of which are porcelain, silk and tea. These are the Song Dynasty’s specialties with the largest volume, best sales, and the highest profits. Outsiders are obsessed with these things from the Song Dynasty. These goods will be transported to Nanyang for sale by taking advantage of the last north wind.
Liang Chuan came to the Wanda Chamber of Commerce to purchase another batch of farm tools. The spring plowing in Shicang Township is about to begin. There will be a lot of farm tools needed by then. The Fang Family Iron Shop can make most of them themselves, as well as bamboo weaving. To make a large number of farmers, you actually don’t need to buy much.
Huang Shougong was a little embarrassed when he saw Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan came to look for him a few days ago, but he didn't even get in. Liang Chuan is now worth a lot. He has a port and a chamber of commerce. These incomes are the number one in Qingyuan. figure.
"What kind of wind brought you here, Mr. Huang!"
"It's like this. Xiao Ke was ill a few days ago. Later, in my dream, an eminent monk gave me advice. When I woke up, my body was much better. I thought this must be the appearance of the Buddha. I heard that I also wanted to take care of myself. It is a great merit to build a temple in the mulberry garden passed down by our ancestors, so Xiao Ke should naturally do his best!"
Liang Chuan was quite surprised and hurriedly asked: "What happened in the dream that there was such an opportunity?"
"I dreamed that our mulberry garden was full of lotus flowers. What was even more amazing was that I asked the great monk in my dream how much land I needed, and the monk only told me that a piece of land the size of a cassock would be enough!"
"It's not just a few feet square, how can it be enough?"
"I'm also surprised, but in the dream, the eminent monk took off his cassock and threw it into the air. The cassock blocked the sky and the sun, and I couldn't see anything clearly. It was not only the size of several feet, but the entire mulberry garden was covered tightly. Reality!"
"Then what Huang Yuanwai means is..."
"Since it is the Buddha's decree, Xiao Ke will just follow it. I won't hide it from Brother Liang. Although my family is not as rich as a single person, I can still be considered a good person. The more good things I do, the better. I just think that there is an old mother in the family. Can you Make a small request!"
Liang Chuan said: "Huang Yuanwai just says it doesn't matter!"

"When the temple was built, Xiao Ke wanted to donate a pagoda to the temple so that it could be used to worship my mother a hundred years later. This..."
Liang Chuan smiled and said: "Of course this is not a problem!"
"That would be great!" Huang Shougong thought to himself, having such a blessed land can be regarded as fulfilling his filial piety.
"But except for Huang, I don't want to build an ordinary pagoda. When the time comes, you and I will each build a pagoda, one on the east and one on the east. I want to be able to see these two pagodas anywhere in Qingyuan!"
Huang Shougong timidly said: "This... so high!"
"Huang Yuanwai, don't worry. Huang Yuanwai can take care of the big money, and if it's not enough, he can bear it on his shoulders. Besides, if even I can't finish it, aren't there hundreds of thousands of devout believers in the city? I believe they will do it when the time comes. I will also contribute!"
Only then did Huang Shougong feel relieved. Liang Chuan felt that Huang Shougong was already kind enough. He also wanted to pay for the construction of a pagoda to fulfill his filial piety. If he killed such a person twice, it would be a bit of a discredit to the Buddha!
While making the telescope, Liang Chuan asked Yelu Zhongguang to send someone to Wangsun Village to find Zhao Xiaopin. The news he got was that Zhao Xiaopin was contracting projects in Fuzhou Prefecture. When he heard that Liang Chuan wanted his help, Zhao Xiaopin left several masters to look after him and took care of it himself. He rushed back to Qingyuan!
Zhao Xiaopin is not only experienced in building temples but also very enthusiastic.
The houses of ordinary people are at most a hundred years old, but temples are different. As long as an emperor like Wu Zong does not launch an operation to exterminate Buddhism, they can basically be passed down and will still be there thousands of years later.
By then, the inscriptions in the temple will record who built this magnificent temple thousands of years ago, and this merit can be passed down from generation to generation.
What's more, this is a favor to Liang Chuan!
If Liang Chuan hadn't supported him all the way, he might still be hungry, cheating and stealing in Xinghua City. If Liang Chuan hadn't given him the opportunity to build a palace for officials in Bianjing, he wouldn't have been able to do it in this short time. In just a few years, it became bigger and stronger and became one of the few big contractors in Qingyuan City, no, in the entire Fujian Road.
Liang Chuan handed the drawings provided by Abdullah to Zhao Xiaopin. Zhao Xiaopin frowned when he saw the style of the building.
"Third brother, this is not a building from our Song Dynasty. It is a temple where the Tibetan people worship their gods. Did you let them deceive you?"
The two of them went for a walk around Huang Shougong's mulberry garden. There was nothing new about the Buddhist temple. There was a screen wall in front, and there were four heavenly kings on the left and right of the front door. When they entered, they entered the Main Hall. Two pagodas had to be built in this temple, which was a little more difficult. At one point, the other technical content is just the same, which is much worse than the official palace.
After coming out of the mulberry garden, we arrived at the site of the mosque that Liang Chuan wanted to build. Liang Chuan pointed to the Guan Gong temple next to him and said, "Not only do I want to build a Fanxian temple here, but I also need to renovate the temple of Grandpa Guan next to it. !”
Zhao Xiaopin counted his fingers and said, "Then this will cost a lot of money!"
Liang Chuan chuckled and said, "It's okay if I worried about money before. What I don't need most now is money. Besides, when these three temples are built, the money will come quickly!"
Zhao Xiaopin sang a Buddhist saying: "Third brother, we don't dare to take the initiative of the Buddha, otherwise we will be sent by God!"
"I am gathering the power of the people to rebuild their golden bodies. What are you afraid of?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"That's true!"
"Of course I know about the Buddha's spiritual appearance. I also know that there will be retribution for being disrespectful to the Buddha. Don't tell me, this temple will be very effective in the future. Even before it was built, I told the owner of the land in a dream!"
"What!" Liang Chuan told Zhao Xiaopin about Huang Shougong's dream about the eminent monk's dream. Zhao Xiaopin sang another Buddhist saying: "Then we must be more careful and not tolerate any randomness! Just build other people's temples. Something feels wrong!"
"Look at how small your structure is. If you don't know Qingyuan, then let me tell you that our place has all kinds of temples. There is a White Dog Temple built by a cannibal in the Model Alley in the back street. It is his god who is worshiped!”
"What temple?"
"White Dog Temple!"
"No, dogs can become gods, so it's hard to say that they are Erlang Shen's roaring dog!"
"The Great Eater not only regards dogs as gods, but also monkeys and white cows. This temple has existed as early as the Tang Dynasty. There is also a grass temple on the other side of the Sun River. This is the holy land of Manichaeism. There are other places where the City God has various There are as many temples as there are in Qingyuan, big ones like the Longshan Temple built under the supervision of Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Tang Dynasty. The Guanyin inside has more than a thousand hands, and the beam on the top of the temple has the words Cheng Yaojin’s edict to build it!”
Liang Chuan paused and continued: "What can a temple do? If it is unpopular, it will be blown away by the rain and the wind. If it can protect the land, water, peace and prosperity of the people, it can withstand the incense of the people. We don't need to worry about this. History and the people are fine. Come on!"
Liang Chuan was right as he expected. When he heard that three temples were to be built, he was really shocked. Liang Chuan set up a merit box, which was almost as big as a big bed. Every day he received a lot of incense money donated by residents. !
There is an old saying in Quanzhou Prefecture that this place was called the Buddhist Country in ancient times, and the streets are full of saints!
People in Qingyuan who are doing business are also keen on reading, and they are even more passionate about doing business, but what makes them most tireless is worshiping all kinds of gods! On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, incense must be offered at the shrine at home, and during festivals and festivals, people in Qingyuan must go to the city god and major temples to offer incense. It can be said that people in Qingyuan are either burning incense or burning incense in order to make money for the blessing of the gods!
In later generations, Liang Chuan heard a joke. If the Qingyuan people asked him to chase stars at eight o'clock, no one might come, but if they heard that any god was going to go on a patrol, they might be able to do it all night long!
It is said that during the plague, the government was afraid of people gathering, so it locked several large temples in Qingyuan City to prevent people from offering incense. Someone actually called the mayor's hotline and said that the plague was caused because Emperor Guan did not patrol the border. , it doesn’t matter if the government does it, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t!
As soon as the merit box came out, people donated tens of thousands of dollars on the first day.
The biggest ones include Abdullah, the Qingyuan Pu family, and many Muslim believers.
They heard that Liang Chuan was actually willing to help them build a mosque in Qingyuan City. Led by Abdullah, they mobilized the majority of believers to donate money. In one day, they donated 100,000 yuan!
It's really a big deal!
Most of these Persian Muslims are businessmen. They have a lot of money, but they are a little empty mentally. When they heard that they were going to build a mosque, they immediately felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood!
As soon as the money arrived, Zhao Xiaopin immediately started construction, and Liang Chuan also fulfilled his ambition to help Mr. Guan rebuild the dojo!
