Chapter 159: The sound of bells makes troubles disappear
At exactly 5 a.m. in the morning, a deep and melodious morning bell sounded from Mount Qingcheng. The sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire mountain and even reached places farther down the mountain.
Hearing the bell, worries are relieved, and Bodhi grows wisdom. "Ding, ding, ding" echoed the footsteps of the masters as they walked into the main hall under the moonlight. The monk team led by Master Huijia and his three disciples began the morning class and chanting.
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba led a group of logistics personnel to light oil lamps, burn incense, place offerings, and perform worship ceremonies for the statues in each hall. With this operation, the whole temple created an atmosphere full of sutras and sandalwood. After the believers who followed the masters in the morning class knelt down and prayed, they also began to burn incense on the offering table. After they finished burning incense one by one, pilgrims put incense money in the merit box. After completing these procedures, pilgrims can go to the vegetarian restaurant to enjoy a vegetarian breakfast, including porridge, steamed buns, soy milk, side dishes... The dishes are served in small dishes, and you can take them as needed. No waste is allowed, and each person is thirty coins. The masters go back to the monastery for dinner. There are special personnel responsible for cooking and delivering them here. After breakfast, they have to get busy for the next new day.
The pilgrims who participate in the morning classes have stayed overnight in the guest house the night before. After that, they can move freely, go back to the guest house to rest, go to worship Buddha, or climb the mountain to watch the sunrise.
As the sky gradually brightened, new pilgrims drove their carriages and horses up the mountain one after another. This was the beginning of the temple's reception of guests. The monks each took their positions and performed their duties, and the work of receiving pilgrims was carried out in an orderly manner.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba led the guards, and from the way up the mountain, there were people maintaining order at regular intervals. One of the ten bald stewards set up a square platform in a prominent position in the square in front of the temple and took on the task of recruiting monks. It can be foreseen that this work will take a long time based on the principle of voluntariness, but the master said that it will be carried out on a voluntary basis in the early stage to see how the effect is. After all, they are also doing experiments step by step.
The city became lively only after daybreak. After all, most merchants participated in the charity activities, and the activities were to be seen by people. After all, there were only a few people who did good deeds without anyone knowing. There were ten open carriages parked in front of the Shen Mansion, filled with rice bags and cloth. Each carriage was matched with a coachman and two guards on the left and right. Everything was ready. Shen Wen mounted a tall horse, and the Shen Mansion’s housekeeper led the servants to lead the way. As soon as the gong was struck, the charity activity of the richest family of Shen began to parade! They first showed their faces in front of several of their own stores, lit firecrackers, attracted a crowd of onlookers, and then began their precise charity.
It turned out that a few days ago, the housekeeper of the Shen family and his servants had already found out the details of the hundreds of elderly, weak, sick and disabled families in the city and recorded them in the book. Now they only needed to go in groups to deliver rice, flour and cloth to their homes. The Shen family was well-known, so Shen Wen didn't need to deliver rice, flour and cloth personally. Besides, there were many people watching behind each team, so these were left to the housekeeper, servants and guards to complete. Even so, the streets and alleys in the city were as lively as the New Year. The crowd of onlookers was three layers deep, and they all said that the richest man Shen was a great philanthropist. Not only did he donate to build temples, but he also gave cloth, rice and flour to these unknown poor people. It was really a great favor. The recipients were all grateful and praised the richest man Shen whenever they met someone. This led to a large wave of charity activities of doing one good deed a day. For five consecutive days, there were quite colorful activities every day. This is a later story.
After Shen Wen showed up in front of his shop, he led his guards to Qingcheng Mountain. At the entrance of the new road in the west of the city, he met the manager of his own Dada Industrial Park with a dozen workers who were showing their experience and recruiting apprentices! Shen Wen praised them on the spot for their cleverness and for choosing a good place. Now, some people who need to go up the mountain will stay there, but it is hard to say when they go down the mountain. Dada Industrial Park gives people a first impression, and the location is the easiest to remember. It is hard for people to forget it!
Besides, teaching skills is also a kind of charity. The quiz with prizes has been popularized a few days ago. Now the method of using workers to recruit workers is really convincing. Now there are a few products of Dada Industrial Park on display in the stalls. Ten workers standing in two rows in uniform are more eye-catching. People who set up stalls along the way looked at them, as if they were thinking how could they compete with such professional people. Fortunately, they are recruiting workers. If they were selling goods, they would have no chance of winning!
After Shen Wen stopped for a moment, he continued riding his horse and slowed down with the flow of people. As expected, he saw that both sides of the road were filled with a variety of goods, and several familiar merchants also set up stalls for display. Their goods were more abundant and more manpower was also more. The nearby villagers also set up stalls at the entrance of the village. Their goods were mostly agricultural products produced by their own families, domestic poultry, as well as herbs, furs, mountain products, etc. Shen Wen thought that it would be good if this Qingcheng Road could spontaneously form a road market, at least it would provide a lot of convenience for the people to trade freely, and the most important thing was free venues.
Shen Wen thought about the feasibility of this plan. People at the foot of the mountain pay attention to the atmosphere of fireworks, while those on the mountain pay attention to the rules and regulations! Well! He decided that he would promote the prosperity of the market on this road! All he had to do was to participate in it. Over time, a trading market that everyone could participate in would spontaneously form here. It was really getting more and more interesting!
When they were going up the mountain, they met some people who had come earlier and were starting to walk down the mountain. They could vaguely hear some people talking about how they had a full vegetarian meal for free with the bamboo sticks they won in the quiz. It was really worth it! It turns out that what people care about most is to have enough food and clothes!
As an open donor to the temple, Shen Wen was treated with the highest courtesy. Master Huijia was informed and personally led his disciples out to greet him. He even personally held a blessing process for him in the main hall. After chanting scriptures, kneeling, burning incense, and donating incense money, he was led into a separate guest house, where a young monk served tea and snacks. Master Huijia and Shen Wen sat face to face drinking tea, and then talked about the prince they both knew.
"Will your prince come?" Master Huijia had seen Shen Wen go to Puxian Temple to worship Buddha with the prince many times, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Yes! But not recently. The north is suffering from the cold disaster and there seems to be some chaos everywhere. He is worried about those things." Shen Wen did not shy away from it. What he said was the truth and there was no need to hide it.
"He is a good master! There is no point in worrying. Everything in the world has its order. If the current order does not work and it is inconvenient to act, then it is better to break it. After all, there is no creation without destruction. In the end, a new order that adapts to the new order must be established!" Master Huijia shook his head and raised his lotus palm. But he said it casually, which scared Shen Wen. Master Huijia was so direct? Was he still a monk? ?
Shen Wen was stunned for a while, then he looked at Master Huijia's rebellious face in silence. "My eldest brother has his responsibilities, and he can't help for a while. If you help beyond the limit, people will be suspicious!"
"Amitabha, it's all for the people of the world. Well done, well done!" Master Huijia was silent for a moment before he sighed.
