Zhu Youxiao felt that he had started to get better in the past two years.

There are not so many constraints anymore, and there are soldiers under his command. Although the court is spending more and more money now, the fiscal revenue is also getting better and better every year.

Zhu Youxiao felt that he was a bit like a prosperous and wise king.

Of course, he still feels that being a faint king is the most satisfying, and he feels happy all the time.

Spring is coming

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested and wanted to walk around the capital. Facing steam engines every day would make Zhu Youxiao himself feel bored.

Today's capital is prosperous, and Zhu Youxiao likes this kind of fireworks very much.

When you go out, Zhang Hao Guzuo is naturally by your side.

Zhu Youxiao, Queen Zhang, Zhang Haogu, Zhu Qiqi, and Wei Zhongxian.

In addition, there are at least more than 200 guards protecting this group of people overtly and covertly, and there are at least 20 people within five meters of them.

After all, Zhang Haogu didn't want to be shot twice from behind while he and the Dog Emperor were walking on the street.

Nowadays, there are many more women on the streets of the Ming Dynasty.

Many women have begun to take the initiative to dress themselves up and show off their beauty when walking on the streets.

Under Zhang Haogu's deliberate promotion, the status of women has been improved to a certain extent. On the one hand, individual families need women to make money and bring income to the family. On the other hand, capitalists of all sizes need women to join their factories.

.

After all, weaving is the same thing for men and women. The hard work is still done by men, and women still need to do work like weaving.

Now, it may not be equal pay for equal work, but women working is the first step.

In response to this, Zhang Haogu wrote many articles in the "Da Ming Pao".

Naturally, it also aroused strong opposition from Donglin Daily, and the two sides continued to quarrel. However, it has become more and more a trend for women to enter factories.

When women start to make money, when women occupy a place in labor production, their social status will naturally improve to a certain extent.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to appear on the streets.

The place a few people went to was Tanzhe Temple.

Zhang Haogu and Zhu Qiqi have been married for some time, but Zhu Qiqi has never been pregnant. Because of this, he wanted to come to Tanzhe Temple to pray for Guanyin.

Zhang Haogu has never believed much in things like gods and Buddhas.

Being able to travel through time must have nothing to do with gods and Buddhas. Ask, ask, it's the quantum tunnel.

However, since everyone is coming, Zhang Haogu will not be disappointed. Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, most of the emperors and concubines believed in Buddhism. The Tanzhe Temple was renovated and expanded many times with funds allocated by the court or donated by eunuchs.

, which enabled Tanzhe Temple to establish its current structure.

This Queen Zhang is more or less a Buddhist.

Tanzhe Temple was the earliest temple built after Buddhism was introduced to the Beijing area. It was small in scale when it was first built and was named Jiafu Temple.

Later, Princess Miaoyan, the daughter of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, went to Tanzhe Temple to become a monk in order to atone for her father's sins.

The queen died in the temple. It is said that she knelt down and chanted sutras in the Guanyin Hall every day, "repenting to Guanyin". Over time, she actually wore out two deep foot sockets on a floor tile in the hall.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, Bo'er Jijijin and Tuohuan Tiemu'er, believed in Buddhism, especially Tanzhe Temple, which was famous in the capital at that time. Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty once invited the abbot of Tanzhe Temple, Zen Master Xuejian, to enjoy a royal banquet, and

The royal sister cooks the food herself, and the courtesy is unprecedentedly high.

Later, after Zhu Di was imprisoned and Yao Guangxiao became famous, Yao Guangxiao resigned from office and went to Tanzhe Temple in the west of Beijing to live in seclusion and practice. Every day he discussed Buddhism with his old friend, Zen Master Wuchu Deshi, the abbot of Tanzhe Temple.

Zhu Di often visited Tanzhe Temple. It is said that when the city of Beijing was built, the designer was Yao Guangxiao. He got a lot of inspiration from the architecture and layout of Tanzhe Temple. Many places in Beijing were modeled after Tanzhe Temple.

It was built like a temple.

However, Tanzhe Temple is bustling with people and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going.

However, Tanzhe Temple actually started to charge entrance fees, and the price of incense was extremely expensive. Zhang Haogu felt sorry for the money after looking at it.

"Master Zhang!" Zhang Yan on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "This Tanzhe Temple didn't accept money before, but now, it's a bad example!"

"If you learn bad things from others, who should you learn bad things from?" Zhang Haogu was slightly startled.

Zhang Yan said: "It's you, Master Zhang!"

Zhang Haogu was stunned, and Zhu Youxiao on the side smiled and said: "Master, you may not know that when you were in Confucius Mansion, you set up tickets and increased the price of incense and candles. Naturally, Tanzhe Temple also has

They followed suit and started to raise the prices. However, the more this happened, the more and more pilgrims came here!"

Zhang Haogu smiled bitterly: "When I bombarded the Confucius Mansion, I did so just to make these scholars spend more money. I didn't expect that Tanzhe Temple would follow suit. It seems that this god and Buddha are also the same."

Greedy for money!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but was slightly stunned, and then said: "What the master said makes sense!"

Zhang Yan frowned slightly: "Master Zhang, don't say such words in front of gods and Buddhas. If you are heard, I'm afraid you will be punished!"

"It doesn't matter, Buddha doesn't care!" Zhang Haogu smiled: "Gods and Buddhas are not greedy, it's just these monks who are greedy!"

Zhang Yan stopped talking.

Unknowingly, a few people entered the Main Hall. Zhu Qiqi took one look at the Buddha statue and couldn't help but said: "This Buddha statue is so big, it seems to be made of pure gold!"

"Really?" Zhang Haogu looked at the golden Buddha and suddenly said: "If it melts, it can be exchanged for a lot of gold and can hire a lot of labor!"

Zhu Qiqi: "..."

It feels like there is no way we can continue talking today.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Master, it would be bad if this golden Buddha melted. How troublesome would it be to get it out?"

Zhang Haogu nodded.

A few people were chatting. Zhang Haogu naturally had no respect for gods and Buddhas, but he was calculating repeatedly in his heart. The number of pilgrims coming and going was not a small number. The price of this incense candle was so expensive. How could it be so?

The vegetarian food here tastes average, but the price is extremely expensive. I wonder if they pay tax?

But at this moment, a monk in the crowd saw five people. When his eyes fell on Zhang Yan and Zhu Qiqi, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Then, he quickly came to the five people: "Amitabha, donor, you are polite!"
