Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 474 Guo An: I also spread rumors
In Dinghaihou Mansion, Guo An, who was eating, also received the news and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Old monk Fa Miao passed away because of guilt and uneasiness?"

Butler Guo Ang said: "Master, this is what is said outside!"

"Outside?"

Guo An was a little surprised.

Guo Ang said: "Master, this matter has been spread throughout the capital!"

"Buzzling?"

Guo An frowned, "The death of a temple abbot can be known to many people, and he is already a famous monk.

But that Dharma Miao Abbot could actually make the entire capital a hubbub within half a day. Someone must be secretly adding fuel to the flames! "

"Master, is it possible that this is another conspiracy against you?"

Guo Ang looked nervous.

"I don't know!"

Guo An sighed softly, remembered something, and asked: "How did you choose the smart people from the many restaurants in Jiangjun Mountain?"

Guo Ang looked solemn and replied hurriedly: "Reporting to the master, twenty people have been selected now!"

"Very good!"

Guo An nodded slowly and asked, "Can those twenty people be literate and arithmetic?"

"My lord, forgive me!"

Guo Ang said quickly: "Sir, only two of those twenty people can read, and they can only do a little arithmetic.

However, these 20 people are all very skilled, making the villain feel like they have all been in the army before! "

"Don't worry about this!"

Guo An slowly shook his head and said: "Select another twenty people, a total of 40 people, find five children named Guo from the house, and teach them literacy and arithmetic!
Tell the five people with the surname Guo not to look down on the people of Jiangjun Mountain.

In addition, if anyone teaches well, we will give them a place to go to Goryeo to serve as an official, or one of their family members to go to Peking Academy! "

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang looked happy and responded quickly.

The five children with the surname Guo are naturally members of the Guo clan.

Nowadays, in Shunde Mansion, although the Guo family does not have any prominent figures, the presence of a figure like Guo Shoujing has also made the Guo family prosperous.

For example, Guo An's great-grandfather also had five or six brothers and sisters.

Guo An’s grandfather had five brothers and three sisters in his generation.

Only in Guo An's father's generation, due to the war, many people did not survive and had fewer children.

Despite this, if we really count the number of relatives in the Five Servers of Guo An's generation, there are still 300 people.

In addition to Guo An's grandmother's natal relatives, grandmother's natal relatives, mother's natal relatives, and other relatives with distant blood relations in the Guo family, there are even more.

The relatives who followed Guo An to Beiping Mansion were only a small part of them.

There are many relatives who stay in Shunde Mansion or elsewhere.

However, none of them wanted to stay away from home, and they were not sure whether Guo An could take care of all of them after going to Beiping Mansion.

Therefore, after hearing that many relatives of the Guo family had gone to Goryeo to serve as officials, those people felt a little regretful.

However, I just regret it.

It wasn't until after Guo An was granted the title of Marquis of Dinghai that all the relatives in Shunde Mansion were completely tempted.

They all went to find Father Guo, hoping to fully embrace Marquis Dinghai.
Father Guo was very happy about this.

And Guo An was also very happy.

Most of the relatives of the Guo family are doers, and there are very few who are cunning and notorious.

Moreover, most of the Guo family's relatives are basically literate and good at arithmetic.

Now that he has become a noble of the Ming Dynasty, he should also support the Guo family relatives, or let these Guo family relatives come to work in his house.

My family feels very comfortable using it.

Even if some young people want to commit adultery, they will be supervised by the elders above.

Currently, there are more than ten children of the Guo surname waiting in Guo An's house.

In the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, Jiangjunshan Workshop, and even among the craftsmen and stewards who built the military academy, there are also children named Guo.

Zhu Di also knew all this.

Guo An didn't have any worries when using it. "Also, let two of the forty people selected go to Tianxi Temple to inquire about it. We really don't believe that Abbot Famiao would actually pass away on his own out of guilt."

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang responded again.

"Publish another message and say that Abbot Fa Miao is..."

Guo Ang looked strange and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, sir!"

……

soon.

less than a day.

The capital once again spread a message.

A certain passenger ship was carrying more than ten passengers on the Qinhuai River.

Suddenly, the boatman was questioned by a boatman on the side.

"Brother who is in charge of the boat, we heard that the abbot Fa Miao of Tianxi Temple did not pass away on his own?"

The boatman was very surprised, "Hey, this matter is extremely secret, and you actually know about it?"

The boat passenger couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Is this really happening?"

The boatman said: "That's natural!"

The boat passenger asked: "Brother, please reveal it?"

The boatman shook his head and said very cautiously, "This matter is too involved and cannot be discussed!"

The boatman was full of hospitality, bowed his hands to the boatman, and begged: "Brother, please be considerate. I have always believed in Buddhism. I have been to Tianxi Temple before and met the Dharma Miao abbot from a distance.

A few days ago, I heard that Abbot Famiao was insulted by the Marquis of Dinghai. I didn't expect to hear that Abbot Famiao passed away on his own yesterday...

In addition to the grief, I actually heard someone say that the abbot did not pass away on his own, and that person actually did not tell the truth. At this time, my heart felt like hundreds of ants crawling, and my heart was itching unbearably..."

After hearing this, the surrounding boat passengers became very curious and said to the boatman.

"Yes, please be kind to this boatman and tell us about it!"

"Excuse me, boatman. Abbot Fa Miao was a truly enlightened monk. How could he pass away in such an unclear way?"

"..."

The boatman couldn't help but hesitate, "Do you all want to hear it?"

"Want to hear!"

All the boat passengers looked at the boatman expectantly. They were most happy to hear such secrets.

The boatman was still a little hesitant, "Everyone, we have agreed. This matter is very involved and can easily lead to trouble. If you listen, you must not say that you heard it from my mouth!"

Now, all the boat passengers became even more interested and nodded in assurance.

"I will never reveal it!"

"That's it, let's talk about it then!"

"Speak quickly!"

"I also heard that Marquis Dinghai did not insult Abbot Fa Miao at all, nor even any senior monks of Tianxi Temple..."

"Isn't the whole capital abuzz with rumors?"

"That's because someone is secretly spreading the word and wants to impeach Marquis Dinghai!"

"This……"

"In order to get more alms, the eminent monks of Tianxi Temple rebuilt Tianxi Temple, so they did not explain this matter, which caused everyone to misunderstand Dinghaihou...

Even in the end, it was His Majesty who sent someone to investigate and clear Marquis Dinghai's innocence.

Therefore, it emerged that His Majesty wanted to take back the fertile land occupied by the temple..."

"But, what does this have to do with the death of Abbot Dharma Miao?"

"Abbot Famiao wronged Marquis Dinghai because of some money, and then angered His Majesty, causing all the temples in the world to suffer, and making Tianxi Temple hated by all temples...

Abbot Fa Miao did not dare to bear such a big crime and wanted to speak out, and the thief behind the scenes was naturally not a good person, so..."

"hiss……"

All the boat passengers could not help but be stunned.
