Chapter 267 Reconstruction 2
As part of the joint response of the change of Guangzhou and the change of name and flag, Xie Xiaoan from Jiaozhou was really happy during this period. He finally got a position among the rebels as he wished; although he was just a teacher in the education and education department of the six new cadres established by the Left-behind Department, which was not far from his original identity as a school official;
But at least it is a real job in preaching and teaching. Although the specific salary is not much, relying on the corresponding level of tickets alone is enough to eat and wear and have some meat flavor every three days. Sometimes it is pickled fishing, sometimes it is a wild bird; there are also single-living houses available, which makes him feel a little sad when he finally waits for the day of his success.
In addition, he also found that many of his jobs could be read; yes, in the library in the Guangzhou Institute where he took office, there were at least tens of thousands of newly published books. Although most of them were ordinary works that were made of omissions and fallacies, there were also some re-compiled and corrected versions of the lonely, ancient and residual ones that were obviously treasured in the homes of major officials;
There are even special seal shops and bookstores to spread some of the carefully selected works, or easy-to-understand songs and poems. God knows how these thieves collected and preserved these things after they captured Guangzhou, and what plans were to make all these arrangements.
He was even selected into one of the compilation teams that wrote different articles (popular stories). It was like a rat falling into a rice jar, which made him happy. After all, compared to his hunger and full meals when he was studying in Jiaozhou Prefecture, and even had to sell his ancestors' collection of books or days, this was undoubtedly a new experience and touch.
Therefore, after a few days of taking office, he couldn't wait to go to the patrol site to find his old friend Qu Chengyu to express his gratitude. Under the guidance of the other party, he also brought up a box of sour jujube cakes, and turned around to find another fellow villager and senior from the Foreign Affairs Prefecture. Qiu Huan, who held several positions in the left-behind department and was quite famous in Jiaozhou, was known as the residence of Mr. Qiu Da.
But he was a bit unfortunate this time. Mr. Qiu went out to visit friends and could only leave famous posts and souvenirs at the door. He still had several borrowed copies of the "Justice of the Five Classics" and "Yan's Collection", which needed to be read back and forth to prepare for the rank examination in the Great Learning Institute.
In the somewhat dilapidated courtyard of Longfeng Temple in Waiguoxi City, Guangzhou, the invited Qiu Guan was also working with several familiar old friends and old friends to cook tea and drink tea under a grass pavilion, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and harmonious.
"Brother Changsheng is really a perfect sight. He turns his hands to make clouds and rain. In a moment, this pearl of the South China Sea changed his master again."
A slightly rich and gray-haired scholar held the boat and stared at the way of the boiling flowers in the tea soup
"Then the next step is to use this person's methods and scheming. Even those who were promoting the fire behind the scenes may not be better."
"I never thought that such a person would be born among thieves..."
An old man with the same gray hair but described Qu thinness sighed.
"Is he actually not willing to come with intention or instructed by others, just to cause trouble... is this world?"
"What are you thinking about? Such an outstanding person, how can he be so good at what background can he give me?"
"I don't want those moral gentlemen who have excellent writing and poetry, or those who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. In this chaotic period, it is just a whitewashing thing to decorate the storefront."
"All I want is someone who has read a few books, read a few words and sentences roughly, calculates numbers and understands the accounts; and can also lay down and do things steadily;"
"Whether it is working, farming, mining, business, or education, as long as it is beneficial to people's livelihood."
"Under this premise, I will further advocate that those who do not work are not allowed to eat, those who are useless are not allowed to relocate and appoint them... and conduct both supervision and encouragement of the regulations."
"No matter whether it is the noble or the low, you should give some opportunities to improve your own situation and the possibility of choosing a path..."
......
The gateway of the largest Zen Forest Baoning Temple in Guangzhou was once again forced to open from the outside and inside; and collapsed on the dusty ground. Then, amid countless dense footsteps and shouts, many figures wearing blue and blue tight robes and holding arms were rushed in; and amid the fierce noise of picking and driving away, the temple covering a wide area was brought to the sound of the fierce noise and roaring.
The leader was a young official wearing a black veil and a light blue shirt. His expression was subtle and large in large numbers of the old and young monks who were forcibly gathered, but they pursed their lips tightly and did not speak. This also made these monks who were like frightened birds jump up in fear and fear.
"It's... it's Senior Brother Liyuan..."
"Is that all of them my elder brother Luyuan..."
"Is it true that time really brings back to life?"
Someone finally recognized the monks who were trembling with fear. The other party was sent out to make up the numbers. It is said that he had died in the hands of the thief who was venting his anger and copied the monk's head to the burial monk.
He looked at the fear and fear on these familiar faces that were once familiar, and he had a proud indulgence and pleasure. Then he became a little boring and boring soon. These people still had not changed much as before, but he was no longer the naughty monk who was addicted to the scriptures and did not know much about human relationships and things.
You know, he was once one of them who was unaware of it. He was arrogant and wanted to leave a masterpiece and gain the position of the Zhiyuan for his whole life. However, thanks to the confusion of losing his backer after his teacher passed away, he was fortunate to meet the legendary figure among the rebels, and he was able to see many unimaginable things and scenes, and embarked on another completely different and broad road to life.
"I don't know what the officials came here."
In the end, it was the Laozhiyuan with a pleated face. The trembling focus group walked up to sing the tribute...
"After searching by your department, there was no other wealth left, only some monks who were free of money and daily necessities for rice, grain, melons and vegetables."
"What we want this time is not money."
Liao Yuan smiled slightly and said
"What we want is the temple place and your people..."
"Please give me mercy..."
Hearing this, the Laozhiyuan seemed to have misunderstood something and couldn't help but weaken his legs and feet. He clasped his hands together and sat down on the ground and said with a silence.
"We and others have always had no disputes with the world, and have never committed any offense. We only seek the essence of chanting scriptures and practicing. Why do we suffer from this disaster?"
"Even if the officials were a little angry in the past, please repay me with my body. Don't involve many innocent people, let alone destroy the ancient temple. This is the temple where the Sixth Patriarch visited and preached... "
"It's really unreasonable. What's the use of me asking for your life?"
Liao Yuan was becoming more and more impatient, and said with a look of summer insects that could not be spoken by ice.
"What the rebels want to requisition are your place, and all the monks who can read and read in the temple..."
"What...what is this...what is this?"
The expression of Laozhiyuan suddenly collapsed.
"We only have the method of practice, but we cannot be treated as a heavy slap."
"Little do you know that only knowing how to recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name without fighting with the world is your biggest sin..."
Thinking of the cruel and miserable things he had seen, and thinking about the monks hiding in the temple to escape from the world, Liao Yuan couldn't help but sneer.
"You can neither produce and buy property nor circulate money. You can chant a few verses to your heart and be sanitized on the offerings of believers. What is the difference between spending money, food and food in the world and the use of rice and insects."
"This is why the rebels gave you an opportunity to repay and redeem the world, so that the monks could go to the place to teach the people and carry out the enlightenment of the text and words."
"And here will be the future place of the Grand Lecture Institute Farmhouse. All the furnishings are ready-made, right?"
Then, amid the crying and begging, with the sudden identification of his decision, only a few older monks, including the Laozhiyuan, were left behind, and a separate courtyard was reserved as a place for future residence and worship of Buddha; other monks were forcibly taken to embark on an unpredictable future.
Then, Buddha statues, decorations, magical instruments, and worship objects were roughly removed, and after simple classification and sale, they were uniformly stuffed into the side houses as temporary warehouses, leaving only the Buddhist temples and palaces that were cleaned up to be bare and had only a few tables left and the walls were bare.
"Hang all these treasures on the mountain gate for me... This is what you have to follow the rules in the future."
Liao Yuan continued to shout without stopping.
"From now on, all Buddhists must start to learn to support themselves. If they do not do it for a day, they will not be able to eat for a day."
"If the people have any acceptance, they must make an account statement and not have private parts. All the expenses and supplies of all parties are supervised by the rebel army; they shall be reported in order before doing good deeds."
The wooden boards that stand high on the door are from the "Baizhang Qing Rules" set by Master Huaihai, Baizhang Mountain, Hongzhou, the ninth year of Yuanhe (814):
The jungle flourishes when nothing happens, and practice is to recite the Buddha's name as the steadfast.
For diligence, keeping precepts is the first priority. For diseases, reduce food as a decoction.
Forbearance is used as Bodhi for troubles, and without arguments is used as liberation.
Keeping the crowd to be old and becoming true feelings. Deacons make contributions to their dedication.
The language is direct and the elders are kind and kind as virtue.
Learning is about diligent practice. Cause and effect are about understanding without fault.
When old age and death are used to be impermanent, Buddhist affairs are taken as a practical measure.
Treating guests with sincerity is to offer sacrifices. The mountain gate is solemn with elders.
It is not a laborious task to establish everything in advance. It is reasonable to treat people with humility.
When in danger, keeping one's mind calm. When helping things, compassion is the foundation.
At the same time, similar things happened one after another in dozens of other temples in Guangzhou, including the famous Baozhuangyan Temple, Qianming Faxing Temple, Wuxing Temple, and Hualin Temple.
