Chapter 71: The cow refuses to drink water and is forced to have its head pressed
Compared with the street managed by Yunchu, the people in Jinchangfang are really too obedient. Their obedience is also much better.
If Yunchu had been doing business on the street he managed like he was doing in Jinchangfang, he would have been attacked by a group of people and would have been badly beaten by now.
Not to mention riding a horse to intimidate people, even if he spoke rudely, he would be photographed within minutes, and the video would be posted on the Internet and exhibited.
If a street or a city wants to develop well, health and the temperament of the people will always come first.
If you want to make a dead street or market come alive, everyone must be mobilized, and getting money from the people is always the lowest method.
Are there any wealthy households in Jinchangfang?
Of course, the Yun family is not even considered a dust in front of Da Ci'en Temple, a wealthy family. However, it is obviously very difficult for Yunchu to get money from Da Ci'en Temple to develop the street.
Since ancient times, people have only given alms to monk temples, and have never seen people take money from monk temples. In addition, Daci'en Temple is a royal temple. If Yunchu made this request, he would be politely removed from the temple by the Zhike monk. Throw it out.
Yunchu didn't believe in this evil. He felt that Ci'en Temple could not occupy more than 40% of the land in Jinchangfang and yet ignore the interests of Jinchangfang.
Therefore, whenever Liu Yi, the official of the square, closed the gate of the square, dust would fly in Jinchang Square and the sound of killing would be loud!
The scene of more than 5,000 people catching mice together was a grand one. Basically every road was blocked, except for the direction of Daci'en Temple.
Wai San Que Yi is the art of war. Under normal circumstances, Buddhism is no match for the art of war. The people of Jinchangfang suddenly started a new life and hygiene movement. Even the rags that had not been moved for many years needed to be rearranged. This made the people living in poor families The rats had to start fleeing en masse.
So, when a young novice monk was adding lamp oil to the green lantern in front of the Buddha, he suddenly discovered that there were strings of mice running around in the middle of the ancient Buddha with green lantern.
Suddenly, a shrill scream echoed throughout the Great Ci'en Temple.
When Xuanzang discovered that many of the scriptures he had finally translated were bitten by rats, he also began to ask the Zhike monk in charge of external affairs in the temple why the rat infestation was so serious in Daci'en Temple.
The monk who knew the guest had an earth-colored face, and the rats stole lamp oil, gnawed at the Buddha statues, curtains on the doors and windows, and slept with the monks. However, they chewed up the scriptures translated by Master Xuanzang. This is something that cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
As a result, Daci'en Temple also launched a vigorous rodent eradication campaign.
When the common people get rid of rats, of course they kill them whenever they have the chance. The monks are pitiful. They still insist on not killing, so they can only hide and seek with the rats. No matter how hard the monks try, the rats in Daci'en Temple not only do not decrease, On the contrary, there are more and more.
Because the mice keenly discovered that if they left Da Ci'en Temple, they would be killed soon. If they stayed in Da Ci'en Temple, they would not only have abundant food, but also not worry about their lives.
Maybe rats are also related. When it was difficult to find a rat in people's homes in Yunchu, the rat infestation in Daci'en Temple had reached its peak.
When the old monkey came to Yunchu's house again, his ears were obviously injured.
"I don't know where so many rats have come from recently. Even Master Xuanzang's scriptures have been bitten. Is there anything you can do?"
When the old monkey came, he didn't hide it and asked Yunchu directly.
Yun Chu shook his head and said: 'There is nothing we can do. We can only mobilize everyone to exterminate rats. However, it seems that you monks can't kill animals, right?
Or do you mean you can’t kill in front of everyone?”
The old monkey said calmly: "It was you who drove all the rats in Jinchangfang into the temple. I discovered this and I'm helping you hide it. What are you going to do? Tell me quickly, lest the monk Zhike discovers it."
It is possible to kill your whole family."
Yun Chu smiled lightly and said, "He doesn't dare!"
The old monkey said: "You are determined to eat him, right?"
"When I passed by Zhuque Street a few days ago, someone was playing the game of assassinating the king and killing the driver. I avoided it. Although I didn't know who they wanted to kill, there are still certain rules for the monk's behavior.
."
The old monkey said seriously: "Do you suspect those people are monks?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. It's just that the scent of sandalwood on those people is too strong. It's so heavy that it can't be covered even if it's snowing."
The old monkey said: "Sandalwood is not only used by monks."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Let's continue talking about rats. I think since the monks at Daci'en Temple can't drive away the rats, they should reasonably spend some money and invite the people of Jinchangfang to come into the temple and help catch them.
Rats This should be a good solution to the rat problem in the temple."
"How much do you want?"
"Two hundred strings!"
"So few? This is not in line with your personality."
"Two hundred guan per month! I guarantee that from now on, any unlucky things like rat infestations, insect infestations, termites, etc. that Daci'en Temple encounters will be cleaned up by the people of Jinchangfang."
The old monkey looked at Yunchu in shock and said, "What if they don't agree?"
Yun Chu sneered and said: "The rat problem is nothing. When termites appear on the beams of Da Ci'en Temple, don't blame me for not making it clear in advance."
"Da Ci'en Temple can recruit people from outside, and it shouldn't be so expensive."
Yun Chu smiled and looked at the old monkey without saying a word.
The old monkey frowned and said: "These things can only be told to Master Xuanzang. If you tell that stupid Zhike monk, you will be in trouble."
Yun Chu looked into the old monkey's eyes and said: "I found that you have become stupid since you came to Chang'an. Do you think that if you were not the one who came to ask questions, I would tell all the arrangements so clearly and unmistakably?
?
Let me tell you, the reason why I took the initiative to become this unlucky village chief is to make Jinchangfang the first safe place in Chang'an where I can trust my family and my life!"
"Why is it in Chang'an City? People's hometowns are usually in remote places."
"Haven't you noticed that as long as I close the gate of Jinchangfang, this place will be a solid city!"
"There are thousands of people in this village."
"It doesn't matter. What I'm good at is not combat, but organization!"
The old monkey nodded and went to look for Naha to play. Seeing how bright he and Naha looked together, Yunchu was slightly jealous because he found that the old monkey treated Naha better than his brother treated Naha.
many.
The person who really discovered the strangeness of the temple rat infestation was Xuanzang. He felt that the temple rat infestation probably did not come from within.
So, I asked the old monkey to take a look around. The old monkey walked around Jinchangfang and found that there were basically no rats in other places, but the Daci'en Temple was seriously infested with rats. He immediately thought of how many rats there were in the temple.
Where did the mice come from?
After talking to Yunchu, he told Xuanzang all the news he had learned.
I thought Xuanzang would be angry, but I didn't expect that the usually quiet old monk would burst into laughter.
"This little monkey, this little monkey..." The words of laughter and scolding actually contained an extremely doting meaning.
In the extremely ambiguous eyes of the old monkey, Xuanzang summoned the Zhike monk and ordered him to pay three hundred guan of money per month to invite the people of Jinchangfang into the temple to eliminate the rat infestation and prevent possible insect plagues in the future.
Xuanzang did not give any explanation to Zhike Monk. Similarly, the fat Zhike Monk did not raise any questions and happily went to find Li Changyunchu in Guangming to solve the problem.
When there is a rat infestation in Daci'en Temple, the person who is most worried is definitely not Master Xuanzang, but him, a monk who knows his way around.
Once His Majesty discovers that there are a large number of rats in the temple where he prays for his mother, and these rats actually desecrate the statue of his mother, the wise monk will know the fate of him.
When Yunchu led the people of Jinchangfang and entered the temple with thousands of simple rat cages, and left the temple a day later with cages full of rats, Zhike Monk looked at the cages full of rats and knew only one
He clasped his hands vigorously and declared the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha."
When the number of rats in the temple dropped sharply, Yun Chu received the first amount of money to eradicate rats - three hundred coins!
From now on, the people of Jinchangfang will not only be responsible for repairing the damaged areas of Da Ci'en Temple, but also responsible for dealing with rat infestations and insect infestations that break out in the temple from time to time. They will even be responsible for taking care of the flowers and trees in Da Ci'en Temple.
He gave Yunchu, the leader in the bright light, to distribute.
Once you have a constant source of money, the rest of the things will be very, very easy to handle.
The last time Yunchu rode on horseback and wore armor to chase down people all over the city, the impact was so bad that the people in the city once thought that their new mayor was a bully!
And the village chief, who carries a baseball bat all day long looking for trouble all over the world and preparing to beat people, makes the people even more frightened.
Now that we have money, we will naturally stop using force.
First of all, Yunchu ordered that the two men's and women's bathhouses, which only had cold water and nothing else, were completely transformed into a men's and women's bathhouse with hot water for bathing at any time, and the fee was still a penny.
Liu Yi watched as the thirty-five guan of money in his hand turned into a gorgeous men's and women's bathhouse built with bluestone slabs and hung with animal heads. This made him so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
The thirty-five guan of money was only for this month. From now on, the monthly firewood and charcoal money for boiling water and wages would have to add at least three guan of money to it, because he never thought that Jinchangfang would
Some people spend a penny to take a bath in that bathhouse.
For this reason, he sincerely assured Yunchu countless times that the people of Jinchangfang would clean up neatly before going out, but it still could not change Yunchu's personal enthusiasm for bathhouses.
Only the cleanest and neatest people can get a job from Yunchu that can earn forty cash a month without leaving Jinchangfang.
Based on the calculation of five cents for a bushel of corn in the Tang Dynasty, a job that can earn a hundred catties of corn a month is definitely a good job.
Only the handsomest and cleanest young men in Jinchangfang have the chance to get these jobs.
