The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 1002
Ding Yi said, ask the Buddha, if this continues, his house will collapse. Do you want the Buddha to be exposed to the sun and rain?
Huineng blushed, we are looking for rich pilgrims to donate, someone will show kindness.

until when?Really caring people have already donated.

You have been in Lingying Temple for so many years, and you just want to see it go down like this?

If you operate with us, I guarantee that next year you will be able to cultivate brightly, and the life of you monks will become better and better.

"Be a monk, don't seek wealth and honor."

"But please be safe, so that you don't get sick and have money to see it, right? Besides, if you have money, you can help the poor and passers-by more, accumulate more good fortune, and accumulate more merit. In the future, you will become a Buddha and be admired by the world."

"Having money is not a bad thing, as long as it is used in the right place, it can benefit the world and achieve merit."

Huineng was fooled by Ding Yi for a while, and coupled with being poor and scared all these years, he finally looked a little hesitant.

"How should we manage it?" Hui Neng asked cautiously.

Ding Yi said, first of all, our Jinyiwei will drive away all the sellers outside, and drive them 200 meters away, within two hundred meters of Lingying Temple, no sellers are allowed.

Secondly, our Jinyiwei will apply to the magistrate's yamen and arrange for someone to set up a ticket window outside, and we will have to buy tickets to enter the temple in the future.

"Still selling tickets?" Huineng was shocked. Would the Buddha be angry?
Ding Yi said, pilgrims are so dedicated to seeking Buddha that they are reluctant to part with tickets, so are they sincere?
It seems to make sense, Xu Bin and the others nodded in agreement.

Hui Neng was speechless again.

Then the magistrate’s yamen will arrange people to sell things in the temple, and you send a monk to study with you.

Joss candles and talisman papers are all sold by people from the yamen, and the profits are divided into [-] to [-]%.

Of course, there will also be packages.

For example, how much is a standard stick of joss stick plus a stack of talisman paper, how much is the intermediate package, and how much is the advanced package.

"We will also sell the first stick of incense. The first stick of incense every day, the one with the highest price will get it. You can make an appointment in advance."

"..." Huineng was dumbfounded.

"The main temple, you have to get busy and consecrate the devout pilgrims."

"Every morning from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am, there is only one hour of opening time, and pilgrims make an appointment at the ticket office one day in advance."

"..." Huineng.

"But you will not be able to consecrate them privately in the future. If there are too many consecrations, it will be worthless. You can only come at the specified time and consecrate three days a week to show your dignity."

"Make a small consecration and let your apprentice come, the price will be cheaper."

Ding Yi saw that Huineng's face was getting more and more ugly, so he hurriedly said: "Build a charity hall behind the temple, use the money you earn to hire poor people, and limit a hundred or so meals a day to help beggars and needy people." People, you accumulate virtue for the temple and the main temple. Of course, if you earn more money, you can get a few more, so that your good deeds will soon be known to the world. Master Huineng’s reputation will spread in the Buddhist world. I will also report to the imperial court and record your good deeds in the history books in the future."

Huineng was not interested in money, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up and his face turned red.

Ding Yi successfully persuaded Hui Neng.

Then I went to other nearby temples and said it again, some people were persuaded, some people were not willing.

But Ding Yi is not in a hurry. Those who are unwilling will definitely change their minds when they see that others are making a lot of money.

Then Ding Yi went to the magistrate's yamen, found Xie Sihai, the new prefect of Hangzhou, reported the matter to him, and talked with Lin Tai.

Xie Sihai and Ding Yi are old brothers. They made money together in Jinhua Mansion, engaged in real estate, and were promoted to the prefect of Hangzhou due to meritorious service, which can be regarded as skipping half a grade.

Of course he fully supported Ding Yi, not to mention Lin Tailai.

Moreover, Ding Yi promised that in the future, the West Lake Scenic Area could bring benefits to both the Hangzhou prefect's yamen and the Jinyiwei command department.

Then Ding Yi allocated parking spaces in many places in the West Lake, and Jin Yiwei recruited hundreds of temporary workers to be responsible for collecting money.

Half a month later, Lingying Temple reopened after a simple decoration, and the entrance fee was one yuan, which shocked the whole province.

This was the first monastery in Dagan that charged fees. At that time, all major temples in the world cursed.

However, there are still people who are willing to go in, but it’s only a dollar. As Ding Yi said, if you want to pray for Buddha with all your heart, do you still care about this dollar?

The conductor at the gate just said this, who wants to say that the tickets are expensive, the conductor will immediately say, you still care about this dollar if you are only praying for Buddha?

All the pilgrims were speechless and paid for tickets one after another.

Then after entering, I found that I still had to buy incense sticks, and those brought outside were not allowed in, which was not sincere enough.

On the first day, Ding Yi's own people took pictures of the incense sticks. He said that the highest price would win. Many people were waiting and watching, and they didn't want to bid at all.

Dan Ding Yi, Fang Jian, and Xu Bin pretended to be pilgrims, and bid one after another in the crowd. In front of hundreds of pilgrims, they fried the first day's first incense to 580 yuan.

It caused the pilgrims around to scream.

Complacent, Fang Jian dumped 600 yuan in public and said, don't look for it anymore.

Then took the first incense, and respectfully worshiped the Buddha.

The next day Jin Yiwei changed a few more people and directly fried the touxiang to [-], which shocked all the pilgrims again.

On the third day, there were already real pilgrims bidding inside, and Ding Yi's people won more than 900, which was a new high.

On the fourth day, the real pilgrim from yesterday came again. He didn't believe in evil, and Ding Yi's people finally gave up when they reached 18 yuan.

That's really a pilgrim who is so proud, my mother, I hesitated yesterday, but someone snatched it away.

The crowd was very excited, and soon a monk said that the almsgiver gave a lot of money and had great kindness, and the host will give you a special consecration for free.

The pilgrim was also very excited and thanked again and again.

The consecration is free, but after the consecration, a young monk took out a piece of jade and said that it was a jade stone blessed by the presiding officer. You can engrave your name on the spot to protect your safety and help you get rich. It only costs 98 yuan. Do you want it?

SB Xiangke nodded again and again, yes, yes, yes.

It took another thousand to buy jade.

Not long after, the pilgrims who came to Lingying Temple knew that it was different from before.

There is also a merit box inside, you can throw money at will, as much as you throw, you will be rich.

There is also a wishing pool inside, which is dedicated to throwing coins, and you can make a wish after throwing them. If you don't bring coins, it doesn't matter, you can change them on the spot.

Chinese New Year is a bit late this year, on February 23rd.

One day before the Chinese New Year, Ding Yi called Huineng to share the money.

Hui Neng represents the temple and can be divided into [-]%.

It has only been open for one month and four days, and the income of Lingying Temple is 400 yuan.

Huineng was shocked.

They have not received more donations in the past ten years than this month.

"Amitabha, sin, sin." Hui Neng folded his hands together, with a terrified expression.

"There is nothing wrong with the host. You have to think about it the other way around. Why didn't they donate so much in the past ten years? Are these pilgrims sincere?"

"Thus, these people who donate money now are sincere to the Buddha. When Master Huineng consecrates the light, you must do your best to wish them peace." (These are Gods of Wealth, I hope they live a long life. send money.)
"Master Baihu is right." Huineng was comforted by Ding Yi, and he really felt that it made sense.

The two were about to share the money when Ding Yi suddenly changed his tone. This time, Jin Yiwei has contributed a lot, and for this, we have asked the governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen many times for instructions.

Huineng immediately said, we can't use up so much money.

He was a little scared when he suddenly received so much money, and wanted to give Ding Yi more.

Ding Yi was naturally happy, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will also hand it over to the Yamen. The money is taken from the people and used for the people."

"That should be the case, thank you Lord Baihu."

In the end, Hui Neng distributed [-] yuan on behalf of the temple. He planned to use part of it to repair the temple, part of it to relief, and then pay some salaries to the monks.

The remaining more than 6 belonged to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi handed over [-] to the governor's yamen, [-] to the magistrate's yamen, [-] to the commander of Jinyiwei, and [-] to the thousand households.

There are still nearly [-] in hand.

But the parking fee on the edge of the West Lake and other temple attractions are charged.

Before the Chinese New Year, Ding Yi distributed 1000 yuan to everyone in the firm. Everyone was very happy, and Fang Jian was also very impressed.

In just over a month, Ding Yi turned losses into profits, which not only shocked Jin Yiwei, but also shocked Chen Yongsheng and Xie Sihai.

They found that Ding Yi could make money anywhere.

At this time, Chen Yongsheng had a different thought.

Because before the Chinese New Year, Chen Yongsheng went to the capital to visit the old Fang Dong of Fangge, which was considered a New Year's greeting.

Although Fang Dong retired, he was still the emperor's teacher and the emperor's confidant. This time Chen Yongsheng was able to become the governor, and Fang Dong also helped to say a lot of good things.

Fang Dong received Chen Yongsheng at home at that time, and expressed his satisfaction with Chen Yongsheng's achievements in real estate development in Hangzhou. He also clearly told Chen Yongsheng that after the end of this year, the imperial court will definitely develop real estate across the country to increase income for the imperial court.

He also said that Chen Yongsheng was the governor at such a young age, and now he is the youngest governor in Daqian, and he has a good chance of entering the cabinet next term.

At that time, Chen Yongsheng's face was flushed and he was very excited.

Dagan’s cabinet lasts for five years, and this one has been in office for three years, which means that after two years, he will be less than 50 years old, and he will have the opportunity to enter the internal tax. The youngest cabinet member.

Fang Dong said again, if you want to enter the cabinet, it's very simple, achievements, political achievements.

Within two years, you will serve as the governor of Zhejiang, and show the emperor your achievements.

You did a good job in real estate this time, but this year's national promotion, many places will not be worse than you, such as Jiangnan Province, Guangdong Province and so on.

After you go back, think carefully about how to eclectic, reuse talents, and improve the local economy.

Fang Dong asked again, what was the province's fiscal revenue after deducting the various revenues of the whole province of Zhejiang last year?

Luckily, Chen Yongsheng did his homework before coming here, and immediately replied: "68 billion."

"How much is the entire province?"

"73 billion."

Fang Dong said with a smile: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich provinces where we worked hard. Last year, you all ran into deficits, and finally you need government relief."

"You said that you will continue to run a deficit this year and have surplus money, what will the emperor think?"

Chen Yongsheng thought to himself, it goes without saying that if I continue to be in deficit this year, the emperor will definitely think that I am not as good as Li Sen.

But if there is a surplus at the end of the year, it will prove that I am much better than Li Sen.

"But saving money alone is useless, do you understand what I mean?" Fang Dong knew what Chen Yongsheng was thinking.

Last year, Zhejiang Province used more than 70 billion yuan. If you want to save money this year, you can use 50 billion yuan. This is definitely not enough.

If your financial income reaches [-] billion, it will prove your ability.

This year, the whole country will engage in real estate, and the fiscal revenue will definitely rise, but everyone is rising, so it depends on how much room you have for rising, which can prove how strong you are.

Fang Dong finally said: "No work ability is more intuitive than your year-end data."

Fang Dong admired Chen Yongsheng quite a bit, and told him a lot of things, which Chen Yongsheng kept firmly in his heart.

After Chen Yongsheng returned to Hangzhou, he kept thinking about Fang Dong's words.

Eclectic, reuse talents.

Who is the talent?

Those who can help him make money and help Zhejiang make money are talents.

Who is the most profitable in Zhejiang now?The prefect?The magistrate?
No, it's Ding Yi from Jinyiwei Baihu.

Chen Yongsheng also specially found Xie Sihai, who had worked with Ding Yi, and asked him, what do you think of Ding Yi's ability to make money?
Xie Sihai laughed immediately.

He can earn tens of millions from a bank robbery. What do you think of his earning ability?
Xie Sihai only said four words: "Nothing better."

Chen Yongsheng deliberately said: "Putting him in the Jinyiwei is a bit condescending."

Xie Sihai's face changed slightly. He looked at Chen Yongsheng's serious face, rolled his eyes a few times, and said quickly, "But it's not easy to transfer from Jinyiwei to a magistrate."

When Xie Sihai was the magistrate in Jinhua, he wanted to transfer Ding Yi to the magistrate's office, but he couldn't do it.

Transferring from Jinyiwei to a local area requires the approval of the local commander's office, and if it is more than a thousand households, it must be approved by the official department.

But it is undeniable that now is the best opportunity.

After Ding Yi was promoted to a thousand households in a few years, if he wanted to transfer him, he would need the approval of the court officials, and the procedures would be even more complicated.

"I don't know if Lin Tailai will agree. I heard that he is also Lin Tailai's confidant." Xie Sihai whispered.

Chen Yongsheng remained calm. Lin Tailai and Fang Dong had a good relationship. If Fang Dong was asked to speak, Lin Tailai would definitely agree. Of course, the most important thing is whether Ding Yi himself is willing or not.

According to the rules of Daqian, if Jinyiwei Qianhu is transferred to a local area, the highest one can be the county magistrate, and the lower one can be the chief bookkeeper.

As for Jinyiwei's hundreds of households, the highest is the deputy mayor (equivalent to the deputy mayor of later generations.), and the lowest is the department head under the Zhenfu Yamen.

I don't know if Ding Yi is willing to take the position of governor.

After all, most people are chief officials in a hundred households, but they are not chief officials when they are deputy governors, and most of them will not be happy.

Xie Sihai saw that Chen Yongsheng was thinking about it silently, and quickly added: "Ding Yi is now the head of a hundred households. If he is only a deputy, I am afraid he will not be happy."

Chen Yongsheng frowned: "But according to the law of the imperial court, one hundred households can only be a deputy."

"It's not necessary to go down." Xie Sihai said.

Chen Yongsheng's eyes brightened slightly, and he looked at Xie Sihai.

"It's fine at the same level." Xie Sihai said: "The deputy governor is from the eighth rank, and there are also some eighth rank chief officials in the Hangzhou prefecture, for example, Shezheng?"
