The words of the Great Qin Emperor caused a huge shock to the Faqing Zen Master. Immediately after the Son of Heaven left the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, he underwent a deep reflection.

The snowflakes outside the meditation room are still drifting one after another, the meditation room is silent, and the Faqing Zen master seems to be in a state of meditation, not moving, letting the sandalwood on the stove linger.

As the birthplace of the Faxiangzong, the great monk Xuanzang once presided over the temple affairs here, led the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and personally supervised the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it is said that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has relics in the center of the layers, or 1,000, 2,000, and more than 10,000 grains.

For various reasons, the Temple of Mercy and Grace has a very prominent position in the history of Chinese Buddhism, and to become the abbot of the Temple of Great Compassion and Grace, it must be a monk with high and profound Buddhism and high morality, and the Faqing Zen Master is no exception.

But today, the words of the Great Qin Heavenly Son were like a slap in the face, and he fell into an inextricable whirlpool. Buddhism before the Tang Dynasty was full of pioneering spirit and experienced catastrophes again and again, but it was always able to be reborn quickly and continue to expand.

Why?

Isn't it the result of eminent transmission by monks like Xuanzang and Jianzhen, regardless of life and death?

Since the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has indeed become more and more trivial, lacking pioneering spirit, and has not only not expanded further, but has continued to shrink.

There are very few Buddhist monks like Xuanzang and Jianzhen.

On the contrary, people saw that the Tianfang Sect continued to invade the east, constantly devouring the territory of Buddhism, and spread to the Hetao;

What I saw was a Western missionary who traveled across the ocean to preach, and in order to preach, they could starve, endure countless blank eyes, and give their lives

Buddhism has lost Xuanzang and Jianzhen, but countless Xuanzang and Jianzhen have appeared.

One trades off the other. As for the one.

Now, coupled with the fact that the Emperor of Great Qin is very dissatisfied with the self-contained and increasingly extravagant phenomenon of Buddhism, if it continues like this, Buddhism will even be worried about its survival.

Faqing Zen Master chewed on the words of the Son of Heaven word by word, and when he mentioned Jianzhen's eastward journey, he affirmed the credit of Jianzhen in spreading Chinese culture, from which it can be seen that the Son of Heaven still has some hopes for Buddhism.

At the same time, he also heard that the current son is very wary of the spreading Islamization. No matter how tense the war was, it didn't stop implementing sinicization in the Hetao.

This time, the Son of Heaven suddenly came to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to convey such a message, apparently hoping that Buddhism could assist the imperial court and play a positive role in it.

After some deep reflection, Zen Master Faqing felt that now is a huge crisis and a great opportunity for Buddhism. He immediately sent invitations to the senior monks of various sects and major monasteries in the name of praying for the blessing of the Son of Heaven. Invite them to come to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to discuss countermeasures.

After the car left the south gate of Chang'an City, you can see that on the roadside fields, wheat seedlings and buds are budding in winter, and snowflakes are falling. See the spirit more.

Qin Mu sighed inexplicably: "I travel in all directions, day by day." Snow and frost trade, the majesty of buckwheat. If the son is not hurt, I will not look at it. ”

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger. Gu Junen didn't answer knowingly, lest he suddenly let you wear more clothes to keep out the cold like he did just now.

Two more miles. I saw a large greenhouse on the side of the road, the roof of the shed and the surrounding fields, white, around and in the middle of the greenhouse, there are many chimneys rising green smoke.

In front of the greenhouse, several officials of Sinong Temple and a middle-aged man in his forties with a blessed face stood in the snow and waited excitedly and apprehensively.

Waiting for Qin Mu and Gu Junen to get out of the car, several people hurriedly bowed down: "See Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

"Let's be flat."

Qin Mu's tone was relaxed, so that the nervous mood of several people was replaced by joy.

The highest official position among several people is Chen Gui, the chief bookkeeper of Sinong Temple, who is about thirty years old, with a mediocre appearance, but his eyes are clear, and he gives people a good impression, so he stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, it's warmer inside, but it's just the environment inside."

"Master Chen, lead the way, if I'm afraid of getting dirty, I won't come."

"Yes, yes, please."

As soon as he entered the greenhouse, Qin Mu immediately felt a warm air flow rushing towards him. There was a thick layer of straw on the ground, which was obviously temporarily laid on by Chen Gui and his sisters for fear that the mud would get on their shoes.

Hehe, it's still very careful, the leader came to inspect, and the shoes were stained with mud, so did you pay it back?

There are no shoe covers these days, and laying some straw is also an economical way, yes, it's really good, and it's going back to promote.

In the greenhouse, all kinds of vegetables are smart, the growth is gratifying, in addition to the greens, there are mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, fungus, beans and the like, a ridge, a row.

Along the way, you can also see a jar of flowers, peonies, peonies and so on.

Qin Mu thought that the light in the greenhouse would be darker, but he was wrong, some brick walls were built on both sides of the greenhouse, and large pieces of glass were inlaid with them.

In terms of roof beams and columns, the combination of steel pipes and wood and brick columns is also adopted, and there are glass roofs in the places where the steel pipe beams and columns are located; In other places, it is mostly covered with thatch. And the brick pillars are actually built-in stove chimneys,

No wonder, two hundred acres of greenhouses, to invest nearly 100,000 dragon coins, these years, can come up with 100,000 dragon coins of the rich people, but willing to take out 100,000 dragon coins to do this.

Chen Gui introduced while leading the way: "Your Majesty, Sinong Temple has made a total of fifteen pilot projects of different scales in Xijing, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Jinan, Taiyuan, Beijing, etc. The methods used are all privately funded, and Sinong Temple is responsible for providing the technology.

All the output of the greenhouse is distributed according to the private eighty-five, and the Sinong Temple is divided into five, and the part of the income of the Sinong Temple is mainly used for the improvement of crop varieties and the research of grafting technology. ”

Qin Mu bowed his head and said, "How is the harvest now?" ”

"Back to the majesty, taking the greenhouse in Xijing as an example, 89,000 dragon coins have been invested before and after, and in the current situation, 30,000 to 40,000 dragon coins can be recovered this winter, and all the costs invested can be recovered in two to three years. The situation in other places is similar to that in Xijing, and only the greenhouse in Kaifeng may take more time to recover the cost. ”

"Oh, why is Kaifeng special?"

"Back to the Majesty, Kaifeng was damaged by the war a few years ago, and there were fewer rich households in the city, presumably the Majesty also knew that the vegetables produced in this greenhouse were relatively expensive, and it was difficult for ordinary people to afford them, so the speed of recovering costs was closely related to the number of wealthy households in various places."

"Well, that's true, but your prediction is probably not very accurate, I believe that in the next year or two, the number of wealthy people everywhere will increase rapidly, and the purchasing power will also increase."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, and the people's livelihood in various places is recovering very quickly."

"Haha, you go on."

"Yes, Your Majesty, after the greenhouse recovers its cost, Sinong Temple will no longer participate, and all will be operated by the funders, and if Si Nong Temple needs to provide seeds or cultivation technical support, the corresponding amount will be paid separately."

Qin Mu pointed to the glass on the wall and said, "This is the glass that I produced in Daqin, right?" ”

"Yes, at present, more than 20 glass factories have risen in Daqin, the output of glass is increasing, the quality is improving, the cost has dropped a lot, and the price has also dropped. Although relatively speaking, it is still a bit expensive, but it can basically be used in greenhouses.

There are also these steel frames, the cost is about the same as the brick columns, but the use of steel columns can take up a lot of space. This is also due to the improvement of China's Daqin smelting technology, and the decline in steel prices brought about by the successive commissioning of six large-scale mines and metallurgical companies such as Ma'anshan in Nanzhili and Anshan in Liaodong. ”

Hearing this, Qin Mu felt very happy in his heart, he didn't do everything and personally instructed everywhere, but the injection of some new ways of thinking, as well as the relaxation of some policies, soon gave birth to a lot of new things.

For example, Sinong Temple is not a big deal at the national level, but this move contains a lot of innovative elements, and it is still difficult to predict what it will produce.

There was a smell of coal in the air, Qin Mu didn't need to look at it to guess that the greenhouse was heated by coal, and in Guanzhong, Shanxi and other places, the people had used coal to make fires a long time ago, which was not surprising.

Qin Mu suddenly thought of honeycomb coal, which was popular in later generations, with simple processing technology, but easy to burn, and greatly improved the utilization rate of coal. Qin Mu was afraid that he would forget about it later, so he even informed Chen Gui and the others of the method of making honeycomb coal.
