"Abbot Fangzheng, where did this bamboo forest come from?" Wang Yougui's eyes almost turned into crescent moons as he ate bamboo shoots. These bamboo shoots were so delicious, better than anything he had ever eaten!
Fang Zheng looked up at the sky and said, "Come from where it belongs." There's no way, some things can't be explained clearly, so just make random nonsense.
"Uh... you guys are still telling me such roundabout things. Okay, I won't ask anymore. Let's talk about business..." Wang Yougui said seriously.
Fang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Donor, are you here for the bamboo forest?"
"Yes, this bamboo forest is so beautiful. Not to mention bamboo shoots, the bamboo itself is very valuable. I have compared various bamboos, and none of them can grow so crystal clear, like jade. And, the point is
, and it’s delicious!” Wang Yougui said.
Fang Zheng said: "What then?"
"Abbot Fangzheng, look, is it okay for our village to develop the bamboo forest? Selling some bamboo, bamboo shoots, etc., this will definitely be a huge profit. Bamboo grows fast, and it can still grow even if it is cut..." At this point, Wang Yougui rubbed
He started and smiled a little sheepishly. This mountain was treated as a barren mountain and given to the One Finger Temple. Now that it has benefits, he comes to ask for it. Even with his thick skin, he feels that it is not enough.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Donor, the mountains belong to the Yi Zhi Temple, and the bamboos also belong to the Yi Zhi Temple."
Wang Yougui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and didn't know what to say.
Fang Zheng continued: "However, the villagers have been kind to the poor monk, and the poor monk should repay the kindness to the villagers. However, it is definitely not possible to cut down the bamboo forest. If you do this, it will make too much noise and affect the purity of the temple. Moreover, cutting down the bamboo forest will affect the purity of the temple.
Bamboo is always unsightly. However, you can dig some bamboo shoots. This bamboo grows very fast. It is estimated that it will grow up the mountainside in a few days, which is where the spring is. There is also a flat land there. Villagers can dig bamboo shoots by themselves.
, chop some bamboo, the poor monk won’t ask too much.”
"What about the one on the mountain? Just leave it like this? This... this is too wasteful." Wang Yougui looked at the emerald green bamboo forest and felt distressed.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Donor, greed can never be satisfied. As for this bamboo forest, it should be able to attract many pilgrims to come and see it."
"Uh..." Wang Yougui was stunned for a moment, then smiled, slapped himself and said, "Indeed, I'm overthinking it. If this bamboo forest is cut down, it will be too bad for the scenery. With this bamboo forest, it will definitely attract a large number of people.
Pilgrims on an outing, when the time comes, our village can also take advantage of the trend to develop tourism, haha... That is a long-lasting, green and environmentally friendly good business."
Fang Zheng also laughed. If Wang Yougui insists on cutting bamboo, it will be really difficult for him. Although the monks emphasize that the four elements are empty and cut off the cause and effect. But how can a person living in the world really be empty? Material, rice, oil and salt.
Sauce and vinegar tea, eating, drinking, having diarrhea and sleeping, many things are connected with each other. If they are all empty, you will become a Buddha.
After sending Wang Yougui away, Fang Zheng immediately went to the bamboo forest, found the mother bamboo, and then controlled the mother bamboo's root system to spread down the mountain. However, Fang Zheng was not a person who liked to eat alone. Back then, the villagers did not treat him as an outsider and took care of him.
Accommodation, clothes, etc. Now that he has good things, he naturally doesn't mind sharing them. After thinking about it, Fang Zheng simply let the roots of Hanzhu climb up the back mountain, directly into the Tongtian Mountain behind, and merge into the Changbai Mountains! Just forget it!
Controlling the growth range will not affect the local ecological balance.
Moreover, if the villagers can really rely on this to make a fortune, it will be considered a meritorious deed.
So Fangzheng ordered Hanzhu to speed up the growth of the back mountain. However, no matter how powerful Hanzhu is, it is not a god after all. The growth speed is limited. At the current growth rate, it can reach halfway up the mountain in two or three days. He really wants to send the roots to Tongtian Mountain.
It may take a month or two, or even longer, to go up there.
However, Fang Zheng had no effective way to deal with this and could only let it grow.
Wang Yougui went down the mountain and found Tan Juguo, Yang Ping and Yang Hua, now the richest man in the village. They got together and discussed how to use cold bamboo to make a fortune. They discussed and discussed, and finally found that there were too few cold bamboos to be developed now.
The value is too small, so we can only wait.
However, the news that there were bamboos on Yizhi Mountain spread, and Fang Zheng obviously felt that more and more people were going up the mountain every day, so some people quit.
The construction team was building a road. It was okay for one or two people to go up and down the mountain. But if there were too many people, it would definitely not work. If an accident occurred, no one would be able to bear the responsibility. So the construction team directly blocked the road up the mountain and no one would let it go.
Go up. When Fangzheng saw this, he was really worried about whether this would dampen people's enthusiasm and affect the future of his family. He ran up the mountain to look into the village every day. At the beginning, he could see many people there.
At the foot of the mountain, there were fewer and fewer people there, and finally they disappeared.
Fang Zheng shook his head: "Amitabha, as expected, you can't have your cake and eat it too. When you build a road, you will lose something."
Although Fang Zheng felt a little pity, he was also happy to be at ease.
The next day, the sky was clear. Looking at the blue sky, Fang Zheng really felt like he wanted to cry without tears. He had no choice but to do it. The temperature had risen, the sun was getting stronger, and the water was evaporating faster. The water in the crystal rice fields was evaporating every day.
I have to add something else, otherwise the harvest of crystal rice will probably fail. For the sake of his own mouth and belly, Fang Zheng can only carry water to water it manually. Such a large field is filled to the brim, and it will basically be gone in one morning.
It was useless to talk too much. I cleaned the temple, had a meal, and then picked up a big bucket to go down the mountain to fetch water. When I opened the door, there was a woman standing at the door!
"Uh, morning, this female donor." Fang Zheng was startled. The last time he opened the door and met a pilgrim, it was the respectable old man Liu Fangfang. This time, it was a woman!
"Hello, Master. I'm sorry to bother you, but the construction team has closed the mountain road. I have no choice but to get up early and sneak up." The woman smiled slightly, and she looked very nice. This man looked familiar to Fang Zheng, and seemed to be there.
I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.
"Amitabha, the female donor is very polite. Female donor, please come in..." Fang Zheng put down the bucket, clasped his hands in salute, and stepped aside.
The woman nodded slightly and walked into Yizhi Temple. Fangzheng smelled a scent of fragrance floating by. He had never smelled the smell before. It was quite strange, but it also smelled good. It must be the smell of some kind of perfume.
The woman was wearing black clothes, a black silk shawl, and a round hat. She looked very fashionable and fashionable. At least among the women Fang Zheng had seen, she could outshine her in dress and temperament.
The only other woman on this side is the big star Li Xueying. Even Jing Yan, who also comes from an extraordinary background, is a few points behind her.
Fang Zheng asked the lone wolf to go down the mountain to fetch water, and he followed the woman to the foot of the bodhi tree.
