Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World

Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World Chapter 10

In the early morning of the next day, the morning sun was sprayed, and the mist in the mountains dissipated.

I just gave Yi Kong money and asked him to go down the mountain to buy the ingredients for making rice dumplings. There, Qian Delu led a large number of craftsmen to the mountain.

He also brought 6,000 taels of fine silver, and the other 500 taels had already been paid as the cost of hiring craftsmen.

Huo Yuanzhen greeted Qian Delu with a smile and put the silver taels into his pocket.

Calling those craftsmen over, Huo Yuanzhen began to talk about his vision for the construction of Shaolin Temple.

The artisans listened, their mouths involuntarily widened.

At first they thought that Huo Yuanzhen was planning to build a fence, repair steps, and level the ground. Didn't expect Huo Yuanzhen to have such a big idea. Where is this,,, where is this? Build a temple? It's like building a fortress.

It is actually necessary to build a wall along Yuzhai Mountain. This Yuzhai Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very difficult to climb the mountain from outside the mountain road. It is necessary to build a wall on the side of the mountain. , Except for the mountain gate, it is almost impossible to go up the mountain in other places, unless it is a Lightweight Art expert.

And this wall is to be built like a city wall, which is not a small project.

And all the ground within the wall needs to be leveled and covered with bluestone. This project is also extremely huge. According to the meaning of the abbot, after the temple is built, it will not be a problem to accommodate thousands of people.

Fortunately, there are no strict requirements for the construction of mountain roads.

However, this was far beyond the plan of the craftsmen, and also beyond the plan of Qian Delu, Qian Delu hurriedly pulled Huo Yuanzhen aside.

"Master Abbot, I'm afraid this won't work".

"What's wrong?" Huo Yuanzhen remained calm. Since he received the order for the construction of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Huo Yuanzhen's mentality has also changed a bit. It seems that his previous design is a bit petty, Shaolin Temple's infrastructure is definitely a big problem, and it's better to spend more now than to avoid rework later.

"According to your construction method, you can't repair it without 30,000 tael of silver. Do you have that much money?".

"The money issue will be discussed later", Huo Yuanzhen said something that made Qian Delu tremble.

"That,,, that craftsman is not enough".

Qian Delu is embarrassed to say that he is afraid that Huo Yuanzhen will not pay the money. What he is worried about now is that Huo Yuanzhen will continue to borrow money from himself, and only raise the issue of craftsmen.

"This is also easy to handle. These craftsmen have relatives and friends. Let them contact them. As long as this poor monk has enough money, it shouldn't be difficult."

Huo Yuanzhen answered Qian Delu a few words and went to ask those craftsmen.

The craftsmen are not afraid of big projects. The bigger the project, the more money they make. Huo Yuanzhen promised to pay according to the price, so they went out to find relatives and friends. They are all craftsmen, and it is not difficult to find colleagues.

Qian Delu watched Huo Yuanzhen talk to those craftsmen without saying a word, but he was thinking secretly in his heart, if this young abbot still asked him to borrow money, how should he excuse himself.

After dismissing the craftsman, Huo Yuanzhen came to Qian Delu and said enthusiastically: "Amitabha, money donor, it's windy outside, follow this poor monk into the room for a cup of tea".

"No, no, don't bother Master Abbot, this Qian is waiting here, wait for Master Abbot to tell a story".

Qian Delu waved his hands in fright. He didn't dare to talk to Huo Yuanzhen for a long time. Who knows if this young abbot will carry a small cloth bag again.

Seeing that Huo Yuanzhen still wanted to speak, Qian Delu hurriedly said: "Master Abbot, frankly, my bank is also a branch, and the maximum loan amount cannot exceed 10,000 taels. Master Abbot's construction plan Some changes may require more silver taels, but this Qian is really powerless, and if the number is more, it is beyond the scope of this Qian's ability."

"Oh, the approval authority is not enough?" Huo Yuanzhen asked.

"What? Abbot, what did you just say about the whole county?" Qian Delu had never heard of this term and asked.

"Haha, it's nothing", Huo Yuanzhen missed his mouth, hurriedly called a haha to get in the past, and said: "The money donor here is a branch, there must be a head office, I don't know where the head office is set up. where?".

"The head office is located in Jinling, this Qian is not even a branch, the branch is only set up in the county seat".

"Oh, how many silver taels can a branch in the county borrow at most?".

"The maximum number of branches in the county town can be borrowed 50,000 yuan. I think the temple of Master Abbot is built, even if it is only a few items such as mountain roads, walls and ground, I am afraid that it will cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. This is still a conservative estimate. ".

"If this poor monk wants to borrow silver taels from a branch in the county, the money donor may recommend one or two to this poor monk".

"No problem with this", Qian Delu agreed, let the branch in the county deal with this matter.

After agreeing, Qian Delu continued: "Although it is said that this Qian can recommend the Master, but for this Qian's blunt remarks, the abbot can't just pave the ground and build the road, the real expenses of the temple are in the Buddhist hall. , On the Buddha statue, according to the current scale of the abbot, the expenditure is a real large amount. I don’t know how the abbot master plans to solve this matter, and when the time comes, the branches in the county cannot provide the master silver taels.”

Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand: "Don't worry about this money donor, this poor monk has already prepared a countermeasure, and the money donor only needs to recommend this poor monk to a bank in the county."

Huo Yuanzhen doesn't need to be in a hurry when it comes to money, but the earlier the foundation is laid, the better, so he can shift his focus to learning martial arts as soon as possible.

As for repaying the money, it is not a problem. You can slowly withdraw the rewards to repay, and the income of Shaolin can also be used to repay the debt in the future.

There is no need to worry about Buddhist halls and statues, and use construction tokens directly.

The most important thing is that I can solve things like road construction and paving as soon as possible, so that I can do other things with peace of mind.

Qian Delu looked at Huo Yuanzhen and said hesitantly: "The abbot wants to borrow money from a branch in the county, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"How to say this?".

"It's like this. Surnamed Zhao, the shopkeeper of the branch in the county, was born as a scholar. This person failed in the exam because he knew hyphenation and was quite talented. He became the shopkeeper in the bank. His personality is a bit strange, he sees the right person, and he can talk to him no matter what, but if the other party doesn't have his temper, I'm afraid you won't be able to borrow anything from him."

"There are people like that!".

Huo Yuanzhen is a little surprised. It turns out that the shopkeeper of the bank in the county is still such a character guy, but it can be understood that the literati have some unfathomable mystery backbones, and this is still for the landed talents. , it is reasonable to have some biased personality.

"Then I don't know what kind of person this Shopkeeper Zhao sees is pleasing to the eye?".

Qian Delu thought for a while: "It should be more talented. There was a man who had a drink with him once and made a seven-character quatrain. The other party has 50,000 taels of fine silver."

"It turns out that this is the case, then there is a labor and money donor to introduce it. This poor monk will meet this Shopkeeper Zhao tomorrow."

Qian Delu has said everything he needs to say. He originally thought that this young abbot would retreat in spite of difficulties. You are a monk, what talents can you have, but this abbot still wants to see him, so let him go Bar.

How could he know the details of Huo Yuanzhen? He is a university graduate anyway. Although college students were worthless in the past life, but in this era, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as "endowed with unusual literary talents".

The two agreed to go down the mountain tomorrow and head to the county seat.

At this time, the people who came to listen to the book have gradually climbed the mountain, more than yesterday.

Huo Yuanzhen stepped on the table again. Today's keynote speech is the havoc at Heavenly Palace, a very exciting part of Journey to the West.

The incense candles researched by Huo Yuanzhen over there have been burning all the time. Today, people are very conscious to buy incense candles and try not to disturb the abbot on the stage.

The financial resources are prosperous, and Huo Yuanzhen's explanation is also particularly energetic.

All the way to the west side of the sun.

"Wukong smiled and said to the Jade Emperor Great Emperor, the emperors take turns to do it, come to my house this year, Jade Emperor Lao Er, you should step down as soon as possible."

"Wukong's arrogance shocked the Jade Emperor and shocked all the immortals in the sky. Since splitting heaven and earth apart, this is the first time someone dares to speak to the Jade Emperor like this. It can be said that powerhouse is respected. , the hero dares to fight for the first place!".

Speaking of this, Huo Yuanzhen stopped, looked at the red sun in the west, and said to the crowd: "This is the end of today's lecture. Tomorrow this poor monk has something to do, and we will continue the lecture the day after tomorrow."

Everyone in the audience listened as if drunk and stupefied. They didn't feel hungry if they didn't eat for a day. When the abbot stopped talking, they scratched their cheeks anxiously, but they had no choice but to ask Huo Yuanzhen on the stage. With a bow of the head as a courtesy, they dispersed.

Huo Yuanzhen returned the salute with a smile one after another, with a high-level monk's bearing, stunned Yi Kong and the others who were also listening to the book in the audience.

Seeing Huo Yuanzhen's free-spirited bearing, Yi Kong and the others have a little more admiration in their hearts. This Yi Jie really has two strokes. It seems that Shaolin Temple will have a better life in the future.

Invisibly, the prestige of the abbot was also erected.

********************************

The people who listened to the book disappeared Now, during the meal at Shaolin Temple, Huo Yuanzhen handed over the newly acquired Lotus Sutra to Yi Kong.

Although the scriptures are good things, Huo Yuanzhen doesn't have the heart to really study them. It is more suitable for Yi Kong, a person who really likes Buddhism.

After getting Lotus Sutra, Yi Kong's nose bubbling almost came out, and she bowed to Huo Yuanzhen sincerely, and then she didn't eat any food, and eagerly ran back to her room to study Buddhism. .

Hui Ming and Huizhen looked towards Yi Kong with envy in their eyes, and they glanced at Huo Yuanzhen from time to time, hoping that he could take out another scripture.

But Huo Yuanzhen only has such a book right now, so he can only pretend that he can't see the eyes of the two and ask Yi Jing's progress in the martial arts.

Yi Jing's research and practice on the Subduing Tiger Fist method has long been integrated, and she is eagerly waiting for Huo Yuanzhen to teach herself Iron Head Art.

Seeing that Yi Jing was so obsessed with martial arts, Huo Yuanzhen also wanted more experts from Shaolin Temple, and directly handed the Iron Head Art cheats to Yi Jing after dinner.

Get a new cheat, Yi Jing like Supreme Treasure, cautiously holding the book and leaving, and going to the mountainside.

Huo Yuanzhen knows that in the next period of time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Yi Jing anymore. This guy's obsession with martial arts has reached Peak. will not appear.

****************************

second day Early in the morning, a large number of craftsmen from the bottom of the mountain went up the mountain Now, Huo Yuanzhen scatters a lot of silver taels, builds roads, builds roads, builds floors, builds walls and builds walls.

These are all uncomplicated projects, and the progress is very fast. Huo Yuanzhen estimates that these projects will be completed within half a month.

When the time comes, you can use it if you have a construction order or something.

It's just that my own silver taels can't last for half a month. It's amazing to buy raw materials for three or five days, not counting the final remuneration for the craftsmen.

The lottery didn't draw any silver taels, and now lending has become the main major event.

So Huo Yuanzhen didn't wait for Qian Delu to go up the mountain, so he went straight down the mountain.

Meeting Qian Delu at the foot of the mountain, there is a carriage at the foot of the mountain, Huo Yuanzhen got on the car directly, and went to the county town with Qian Delu.

Huo Yuanzhen, who is the treasurer of Xiucai, also wanted to see and learn.
