Zhao Ran suppressed the fire and hurriedly went forward to greet several pilgrims, selected incense for them, sounded chimes, and chanted sutras. These pilgrims all knew Zhao Ran. Seeing that it was Master Zhao, they became more pious. After offering incense, they asked
Zhao Xianshi gave him his blessings, and Zhao Ran was satisfied with them all.
After finishing this group of work and sending out several respectful pilgrims, Zhao Ran turned back, passed through the Jade Emperor's Palace, and went to the dormitory to find Jin Jiu and others.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, I heard someone asking urgently: "Your account is wrong. It took three months to build the road on the eastern route and consumed 1,580 shi of grain. Is this a net consumption? What about the lost consumption?"
Then Jin Jiu's voice came out, arguing: "Junshan Temple and Jinji Rice Shop purchased grain at this price, and they didn't spend a penny more! There was no waste!"
The man said: "What's the current price? Forty-five cents per bucket of rice! How much did you buy it for? It's still forty-five cents. Isn't it possible that there was no waste in transporting the grain to Junshan? How is it possible? Not to mention it is only eighty miles away. Last year we climbed the mountain
There is a locust plague in the state, and the nearby state government is providing support. I have calculated that on average a hundred miles of land will be lost by half, and that is still a plain. You will lose half of it for eighty miles! Unless your Junshan Temple has a large storage magic weapon, which can be like
The Dao Sect's Department of Transportation transports food to the Baima Mountain battlefield like that, but can you afford it? That is a valuable weapon of the country, and even if I kill you, I don't believe that you Zhao Miao Zhu has such a magical weapon..."
"Jinji Rice Shop guarantees the transportation, and the loss is their business..."
"Does Junshan Temple have a shareholding in Jinji Shop? As you said just now, it accounts for 40%! Let me do the math for you. Jinji Shop holds 70% of the shares in Jinji Rice Shop, so Junshan Temple holds Jinji Rice
How can we say that the shop is only about 28% of Jinji rice shop?"
"In short, it cost so much money, but it didn't really cost a penny more!"
"If you calculate this way, this amount will be deducted from the income of Jinji Rice Shop at the end of the year..."
Zhao Ran was very surprised when he heard that. Could it be that Jin Jiu invited an accountant to come over? He said that this accountant is very powerful. He actually understands the internal offset of related-party transactions. I would like to see him first.
After entering the room, they saw five people sitting around the table. The table was filled with various account books and record books. Jin Jiu, Lin Shuangwen, shopkeeper Jin, and Qu Fenghe were all there. They were surrounding a man who looked like Zhao Ran.
The Taoist priest who is about the same age as me is not a few years older, even if he is older.
Several people stood up quickly, and Jin Jiu said: "Senior brother is back! Let me introduce you to senior brother. This is Taoist Wang from Longhu Mountain. Mr. Wang is a powerful person. He has been here for just two days and has already helped us correct our Junshan Temple.
Many errors in the documentation..."
The Taoist stood up and bowed his head: "Is this Zhao Miao Zhu? I have seen Zhao Miao Zhu before, poor Taoist Wang Wusen."
Longhu Mountain? Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and he was a little wary. Could this be the person Longhu Mountain sent to compete with him?
"Zhao Zhiran, a poor Taoist, I wonder which generation of Longhu Mountain Master Wang is?" He was also surprised that he had never heard of "Wu" or "Sen".
Wang Wusen said: "Pindao is a side line of Longhu Mountain and does not enter the family tree. By the way, Zhao Miaozhu, Pindao has been here for two days and found that the total number of Dingkou recorded in your file in the 19th year of Jiajing was 8,779.
, but Pindao remembers that in the "Reliability Book" issued by the Overview, the credibility value of Junshan Temple is 336,200 Gui. Calculated in this way, the average per capita reaches more than 38 Gui. This number
Is it too high?”
Zhao Ran was very surprised and became very interested in Wang Wusen. In this world and this year, it is not strange to calculate average values. Many times, the government occasionally uses this concept when calculating local yields per mu.
But as far as Daomen is concerned, Zhao Ran has already discovered in Ye Xueguan's Sichuan Provincial Conference that no one has ever calculated the credibility value per capita, so he first heard Wang Wusen talk about the concept of "38 Gui per capita"
, and I became willing to discuss this issue with him.
"You can't calculate the number like this. In fact, the number of believers in Junshan Temple is not only more than 8,700, but also includes some believers in surrounding areas, such as along the northwest line, along the east line, and even some believers in Qingkou Town. My
It is estimated that there are about 12,000 people."
As soon as Zhao Ran finished speaking, Wang Wusen opened his mouth and said: "In total, the per capita trust level reaches 28 Gui, but even this level is far higher than other places. Do you know the Tianshi Temple at the foot of Longhu Mountain...
"
"The Qingcheng Temple at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain is even higher."
"No, unlike the Qingcheng Temple, the Tianshi Temple mainly relies on the trust of the people in its jurisdiction. It is the most popular temple I have ever seen in so many places, but even so, it only reaches an average of two per capita.
Sixteen Gui."
"Speaking of this question, I would like to ask Taoist Wang, what do you think is the biggest factor affecting the level of per capita income? This is a question I have been thinking about in recent days. In Junshan Temple, life is rich and the people are comfortable, so per capita trust is
Ranked first in Sichuan Province, I originally thought that allowing the people to live a good life with enough food and warm clothes was the only way to increase the per capita credibility, but..."
Wang Wusen clapped his hands and praised: "This is a very good question! But it is not true, right?"
Zhao Ran said: "That's right. Take Lizhou as an example, the living standards of the mountain people there are extremely simple, not even a little bit worse than our Junshan Temple. I once talked with a temple priest there, and most of the mountain people there live in
Among the simple huts, some even live in grottoes. The whole family only has a few rags to cover their bodies, and whoever wants to go out wraps them up. Eating also depends on luck. If you are lucky enough to catch a good prey, how many times will it happen?
Person No. 10 had a full meal but was unlucky and the whole family was hungry for two days..."
Wang Wusen asked: "But their per capita trustworthiness is very high, right?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Yes, it is almost half as good as my Junshan Temple, and higher than many wealthy places. Their temple blessings say that the more crisis you have, the more you believe, the poorer you are, the more pious you are."
Wang Wusen said: "Indeed, you have also discovered this problem. Do people who live in affluence must have more credibility? Do people who live in poverty must have less credibility? Let's talk about numbers. I once talked with a Taoist in Lushan Mountain.
What does he have to do with this issue? It’s not convenient for me to reveal it to you. He told me a number. The wealth of the Xia Kingdom is far greater than that of Tubo. Dingkou is twice as rich as Tubo. But you know that in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, this
Is the credibility of the two countries worth it?”
Zhao Ran was very interested and kept urging: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Buddhism is measured in terms of kuha and luo. One kuha is one hundred luo, which is equivalent to our Taoist sect's ten gui. Let me tell you this, the trustworthiness of the Xia Kingdom is about 22 million kuha, while Tubo's
That’s 18 million people! It’s not much worse than the Xia Kingdom. From this perspective, it’s understandable that Tubo can produce a Dzogchen Buddha every forty years.”
