Chapter 492: Patrol Shaolin
Guo Hao wanted to make trade-offs, which was accused of the development of the Beggars' Sect.
The essence of the Beggars' Sect is actually logistics, which is in line with Guo Hao's subsequent planning.
Steamboats have appeared, so is the train still far away?
The ones who are most familiar with transportation routes are not the most suitable organization except the Beggars' Sect.
So before laying the train tracks, Guo Hao had to integrate the Beggars' Sect, and there were ready-made resources, which was not Guo Hao's style.
If a railway is opened, transportation will be even more important, so it must be controlled by the court and no one is allowed to get involved.
The business of the grain store is good, even if it is only a penny, it is very attractive to the people.
On the other hand, the Shi family’s shops are not without people, but the people on both sides are different. On one hand, there are ordinary people and on the other hand, there are high-ranking officials and nobles.
Shi Yiran is not stupid either. He knows that he can't compete with the Beggars' Sect, so he takes the high-end route. Even though he knows that it is the same thing, someone wants this face.
Guo Hao was thinking, but he didn't expect that at this time someone would understand the consumer group. This was also a way, and the court did not suffer any losses.
...
I don’t care about the Beggars’ Gang and others for the time being. There are actually many specialties in Ruzhou, and the most famous one is porcelain.
Going north, Guo Hao saw many shops selling porcelain.
Ru porcelain was first burned in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and was famous in the Northern Song Dynasty. It ranked first among the "Five Famous Porcelain" in the Song Dynasty. It was named after it was produced in Ruzhou.
Walking along the Ru River, there are magnetic kilns on both sides. As the saying goes, the scenery on both sides of the Ru River is a hundred miles away, and the fires are everywhere to see the sky.
Looking at these magnetic kilns and looking at the porcelain, the national treasures of later generations are now street stalls, Guo Hao couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.
Picking up a small sky-blue bowl, Guo Hao couldn't help but exclaim: "The color is green and magnificent, the glaze juice is plump and bright, like a pile of fat, it looks like jade, the sound is as warm as a warm one, and the texture is very good. It is truly worthy of being Ru porcelain!"
Shen Xin and others followed Guo Hao. Seeing that Guo Hao's face was calm and silent, they knew that he was thinking, so they remained silent.
Now that Guo Hao finally broke the silence, Shen Xin finally couldn't help it: "Is this Ru porcelain, the kind that is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, if you buy some back..."
After Shen Xin said this, Guo Hao knew what she was thinking and smiled and said, "If you like it, I will ask someone to buy you a car!"
Guo Hao is also very cool. If it were in later generations, there would be one thing that would be amazing, but now he dares to buy it as a car.
After hearing what Guo Hao said, the stall owner was unhappy and said, "This porcelain is not easy to cook. Do you think it is the pottery jar, which can be burned out at will."
After the stall owner finished speaking, Zhao Pu was about to say something, but was stopped by Guo Hao. He suddenly thought of something.
The reason why Ru porcelain in later generations was precious was because its technology was lost. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Ru kiln also disappeared.
The kiln opening time was only twenty years ago. Due to the short firing time, it was not very popular. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Ru porcelain was already very rare.
Thinking of this, Guo Hao told Chen Xuan: "After going back, I will send someone to learn the firing method. Such a good craft cannot be lost."
"yes."
Chen Xuan recorded this incident and did not understand why Guo Hao was suddenly interested in porcelain. Guo Hao lived a frugal life and rarely wasted extravagance. Under his guidance, a good atmosphere was formed.
Guo Hao explained, put down the magnetic bowl and left. The stall owner saw that Guo Hao would not buy a piece, so he muttered a few words to look at them.
...
Guo Hao said he was going to Youzhou, but he was not in a hurry to rush. He planned to go to Chang'an first and intend to move Zhongjing to Chang'an.
The reason why he moved Zhongdu to Chang'an was to consider governing the country. He would take over the Western Regions in the future. Bianliang is too far from the Western Regions, so it is inconvenient to deliver messages.
Chang'an is relatively close to Tubo, which is conducive to governance. Chang'an is the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties. There is no need to build a large number of buildings there. It has a ready-made palace, which is convenient for office work.
For this reason, Guo Hao went to Chang'an first, so that the three capitals could be established, and China could be safe.
Now that we have arrived in Ruzhou, Songshan is north of them. Guo Hao plans to go to Songshan to take a look. After all, there is a famous temple on it.
Shaolin Temple!
The group came to the foot of Songshan Mountain and found that Shaolin Temple was very large, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres, and there were many believers coming to worship.
Guo Hao stood on Shanmen Mountain and looked up. There were countless pavilions and pavilions on the mountain, and there were thousands of them, some of which were hidden in the forest.
Shen Xin looked at Shaolin Temple curiously and said, "I didn't expect that Shaolin Temple now has such a large scale, and it is worthy of being the number one in the world."
After Shen Xin finished speaking, Guo Hao laughed and said, "During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the thirteenth monk of Shaolin Temple was awarded a thousand acres of land and a water mill for helping Tang. He also called Shaolin monks a monk soldier.
From then on, Shaolin Temple became famous all over the world and was hailed as the world's number one temple. This is not the land rewarded by Emperor Yang of Sui. Do you think it is not big?”
Guo Hao said this, but he was observing in his heart that Shaolin Temple had a large land in name, but in fact there were not so many.
Like ordinary pilgrims, the group entered the mountain gate and walked into Shaolin Temple.
Of course, there is nothing good to see where pilgrims can go. Shaolin Temple is not a scenic spot now, and there are many places that cannot be accessed, such as Tallinn.
Guo Hao knew something about Shaolin Temple. What he really wanted to see was the martial arts of Shaolin Temple. It is said that the martial arts of Shaolin are from all over the world, but Guo Hao had never heard of any master in Shaolin Temple.
As he walked to the back mountain, Zhao Pu and others could not walk anymore, so Guo Hao asked them to stay for a rest. He continued walking with Shen Xin, Han Yu and Ziyun.
After passing the Buddhist temple, several people saw a small path, with a forest between them, and the sound of exhaling could be heard vaguely.
Shen Xin suddenly became interested. She had been in the Song Dynasty for a while, but she had never seen any martial arts masters.
Guo Hao said that Li Hui was a master, but Shen Xin didn't believe it because Li Hui's swordsmanship was completely different from what she remembered, and Guo Hao had no choice.
Just as the group was about to enter the woods, a monk suddenly walked out of the woods and blocked the way for several people.
"This road is not open. If several donors want to burn incense, please go to the Buddhist temple in front."
Seeing this monk, Han Yu suddenly became alert. At first glance, the monk was not abnormal, but he had thick calluses on his hands, thick legs, strong arms, and a master.
"Haha, master, don't be nervous. We have no malice. We are just curious about the temple and want to see the back mountain."
The monk looked at Guo Hao and saw Guo Hao's hairy eyebrows and his mightyness without anger. He was followed by a young woman. The two followers behind him were holding swords in their hands. He looked like he was not an ordinary person.
"Amitabha, if the donor wants to go to the back mountain, he can take another road. This place is where the monks perform martial arts in our temple are not convenient for outsiders to watch."
After the monk finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction. Guo Hao looked up and saw that there was also a building to the west, and there seemed to be a small road next to the building.
Seeing this, Guo Hao said nothing, thanked him and pulled Shen Xin away. Shen Xin was reluctant, but was pulled by Guo Hao.
After walking a few steps, Shen Xin let go. Shen Xin touched her wrist and said, "Why are you trying to catch me? What's the beauty of the back mountain? What I want to see is Shaolin martial arts, and there is Tallin behind. There is probably no tower now."
Shen Xin had been to Shaolin Temple and just passed by the Thousand Buddha Hall, she remembered it.
The monk practices martial arts place is the White-Clothing Hall, to the west is the Ksitigarbha Hall, and further back is the abbot's residence and the Tallinn that just appeared.
"Haha, if you want to see it, you have to agree. If you don't agree, we can't force it.
Since we have all come, we can't go back like this. I see what the monk just now meant was to ask us to find their abbot!"
When Shen Xin heard Guo Hao say this, she also understood what Guo Hao meant. If the abbot could agree to their visit, no one would dare to stop him.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
Guo Hao nodded happily, and the few followed the monk's instructions and walked to a very inconspicuous building. Shen Xin looked at the building in front of him in confusion.
"Hey, I remember there should be a courtyard here, why is there no more?"
Guo Hao shook his head when he heard this and said, "When was it when you came to Shaolin Temple and when is it now."
Shen Xin suddenly realized that she had a feeling of changing times. This was not positive, but reverse.
Looking at the meditation room, the few people were not in a hurry to go in. Han Yu went up to knock on the door, and a little novice monk came out soon.
"Who are you looking for?"
This little novice monk is not big, only four or five years old, and looks very cute when he is still childish, and Shen Xin's eyes chill.
