After obtaining Wanli's permission, Guo Dan immediately prepared. Although he was forced to set up an education fund, he did not have this plan in advance, and in fact he did not reach that step. However, Guo Dan actually attaches great importance to this because it involves a talent issue.

Guo Dan had actually realized this a long time ago.

In fact, Confucianism is not unsuitable for business. Confucianism is a thought that embraces all rivers. It has a self-improvement system, which is also the reason why Confucianism has been prosperous. Since ancient times, the Confucianism in every dynasty has been similar and not exactly the same.

The problem is that at the technical level, Confucianism cannot provide corresponding technologies to business. This is actually the biggest flaw, or regret, of Confucianism, it does not have the motivation to inspire human creation.

This is actually a dilemma faced by the Ming Dynasty. In the middle and late stages, everyone was governing the country with etiquette and morality, and lacked technical support.

The Ming Dynasty itself had this problem, so it could not rely on the national system. If you want to obtain technical talents, you could only cultivate it yourself.

This morning, Guo Dan and Chen Fangyuan came to a temple called Jinggu Temple in the eastern suburbs.

This is actually Cao Xiaodong and his alma mater.

The location of Jinggu Temple is not too remote, and the scale is actually not very small, but the flow of people is still relatively small, so it cannot be compared with those large temples. Chen Fangyuan can be said to be the biggest customer here.

In charge of Jinggu Temple, he was an abbot named Huiming, an old monk about fifty years old, with a snow-white goatee, kind-eyed and drooping eyes, and his ears were hanging down. He saw Chen Fangyuan, the big money-owner, come, and naturally treated him warmly.

But at the same time, he also noticed Guo Dan. After all, now that Guo Dan is following four large inner guards, the card face is really up another ladder.

After some introduction, Abbot Huiming learned that this young man was the legendary son-in-law of the Kou family.

Now the Kou family's son-in-law is famous in the capital, and everyone knows it. It's not that Guo Dan did something earth-shaking, but because the contrast is too large, everyone talks about it.

This is a big financial backer. Huiming dared not neglect it and directly took their backyard to the right room.

Although this was Guo Dan's first time meeting Abbot Huiming, he had already asked Cao Xiaodong and the others, and he also had some understanding of Huiming. He knew that this old monk was not the kind of cunning person and was more honest.

Of course, Huiming was willing to teach Cao Xiaodong and the others because of Chen Fangyuan's worth, but he also did his best. He did not say that because Cao Xiaodong and the others were born as little beggars, they were perfunctory and worthy of every tael of silver Chen Fangyuan donated.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Dan came to Huiming.

After the greetings, Guo Dan gained a further understanding of Huiming. He was a very wise monk. Although he did not mention a word of Buddhism and his words were very secular, there were some Buddhist principles in his words.

"I'm not hiding the abbot, in fact, I have wanted to come here for Xiaodong and others to thank the abbot for his education, but I have never been able to get out of here. This is a little bit of a concern and I don't respect it."

As a businessman’s opening remark, it’s to highlight money.

This small money is vulgar, and a big money is a ritual.

Send five hundred taels first.

Compared with this, Chen Fangyuan seemed very small. He usually donated dozens of taels in one go. This money is actually quite large, but Guo Dan can only take five hundred taels at one time.

Huiming stood up and performed the Buddha's ritual: "Amitabha Buddha, the donor is generous, and I feel ashamed of receiving it. In fact, Xiaodong and others have a lot of wisdom and are very close to me. Getting along with them has also benefited me a lot."

Guo Dan also stood up, replied with a greeting, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong and the others are indeed adorable, but no matter how good the seedlings are, they need the careful irrigation of the gardener in order to thrive. If the abbot has received the teachings of respect, Xiaodong and the others will not be able to achieve what they have today. It is really hard to repay the slightest gift. I hope the abbot will not refuse."

After a false refusal, Huiming accepted the five hundred taels. Their Jinggu Temple did not have much land and the amount of donations from believers directly affected their livelihoods. For Jinggu Temple, 500 taels, it was a huge sum of money, so how could it be pushed out?

After the money was in place, Guo Dan began to talk about the serious matters and said, "Actually, when I helped Xiaodong and the others, I never thought that I would get such a reward, which shows that this good person has good rewards."

"Amitabha, this good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded. The donor will do his best to help the public..." Huiming hurriedly gave him some Buddhist flattery.

"The abbot has been awarded."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "I think so, I can help both people and myself. Why not continue? I appreciate the abbot's education very much. I hope to continue to cooperate with the abbot. I wonder what the abbot wants?"

Huiming immediately said: "How could I refuse this good deed? If the donor needs me, I can give me instructions. I will do my best."

This is the magic of money.

Guo Dan said: "To be honest, I plan to help more children become successful this time. I will take out 50,000 taels at that time..."

"Ahemhem---!"

Huiming suddenly coughed a huge cough.

"Abbot, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, I am fine, it's okay. Amitabha." Huiming was trembling when he was performing his salute.

Fifty thousand taels?

Did the Buddha appear?

Guo Tan changed the subject and said, "But Jinggu Temple is afraid that it will not be able to accommodate so many people, so I will donate more temples to let them participate in it. However, because I am plagued by mundane affairs, it may be difficult to take into account both. Therefore, I want to establish a temple alliance, with the abbot as the leader of the alliance, and specialize in this matter."

Huiming heard it as if he was stunned.

This is the rhythm of gaining fame and fortune!

If he establishes a temple alliance and is the leader, he will not be completely obedient to him.

this......

If he had to maintain the abbot's demeanor, he had to slap his thighs hard.

This is really even more terrifying than dreaming.

Although Huiming is not the kind of cunning person, he will refuse only when facing such a great temptation.

I agreed happily.

The two sides quickly reached an oral agreement.

After talking for a while, Guo Dan got up and said goodbye, Huiming personally sent it to the foot of the mountain.

"Abbot, please stay."

Guo Dan bowed and said, "Abbot, I am a businessman after all, and I have some words that are too straightforward. Don't blame the abbot."

"The donor has something to say, but it doesn't matter." Huiming said immediately.

Guo Dan said: "Little Dong and the others have already gained a foothold in the business world. I believe that many children will always be appreciated by the rich businessmen like Xiao Dong and the others. At that time, those rich businessmen will naturally be grateful. If all the rich businessmen in the capital come to Gui Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, I think it would be a difficult task for Gui Temple to become the leading temple in the capital."

Even if he lived at this age, he would be stunned at this moment.

Chen Fangyuan smiled and said, "Abbot, my virtuous nephew said that the temple is the best, so there will be no mistakes."

Perhaps there is no need to wait until the children are finished. Guo Dan throws money here. How can Zhou Feng and the others not spend this time to reduce incense? You should know that this is the money from Marseille, do they still want to stay in the Marseille area?

"Ah...thank you, donor, Amitabha."

Abbot Huiming was already excited that he was inconsistent with the foreword.

"Goodbye."

"The donor walk slowly."

After Guo Dan left, Huiming immediately collapsed and shed two lines of tears, which was enough to be overwhelmed.

On the other side, Guo Dan and Chen Fangyuan got on the carriage. Chen Fangyuan smiled and said, "Do you believe it or not? Huiming must not be able to sleep tonight."

Guo Tanfeng said calmly: "Whoever wants to give me a few million taels will not be able to sleep, which is the normal thing for human beings."

A few million taels? The emperor couldn't sleep. Chen Fangyuan muttered to himself and said, "But nephew, you're really having fun this time, tens of thousands taels. Tsk tsk, no college in the world has such financial resources."

Guo Dan just smiled slightly and asked again: "How is Xiaodong and the others doing?"

Chen Fangyuan hurriedly said: "They have investigated the temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the capital, and are still under evaluation. I believe the results will be released soon."

Although Guo Dan said it lightly, he was very cautious no matter what investment it was. Even if he did good deeds, he would have the interest attribute.

Not every temple or Taoist temple can receive donations from education funds, and several conditions must be met.

First of all, you should not be too rich, and it is best to be a temple that is relatively poor and requires money, so that money can be the decision.

Secondly, there must be a certain talent reserve in the temple. If everyone is illiterate, then I will teach you a ball.

Finally, the temple must have a certain scale or once glorious. In short, there must be at least a few houses to teach. Those small temples with only one house should be destroyed by themselves.

It can be seen that Guo Dan is not doing good deeds.

Soon, Xinxing handed over a list of forty-three houses, of which thirty temples account for thirty and thirteen temples, because there are more temples than Taoist temples, and the scale of temples is more suitable for education than Taoist temples.

But Guo Dan still made an appointment with him in two groups, because Taoism and Buddhism have deep grudges, forcibly pinching them together will only backfire.

Not only that, Guo Dan also sowed the disagreement in the middle.

For him, he does not tend to be inclined to any one. He wants talent and needs competition between the two sides.

Whether Taoism is strong or Buddhism is strong, it is divided into education.

Both sides had a very pleasant talk because everyone knew that Guo Dan was going to throw out 50,000 taels, and Marseille would continue to donate in the future. This is an iron rice bowl, of course, I will try my best to win it. They agreed to Guo Dan's request just by just thinking about it. If you say you want to establish a temple alliance, then you will establish a temple alliance.

Money is your father.

Whether it is Buddha or God, it requires expenses. One should burn incense here and another should also be atonement for the sins.

However, Huiming has been confirmed to be the leader of the temple, while Taoist temple has not yet selected the leader. Guo Dan meant that whoever did the best in the first year would be the leader and would also give a bounty.

A capitalist style.

After everything was ready, Guo Dan announced the establishment of an education fund in the name of Marseille, and at the same time he annexed the charity work left by the three musketeers, that is, he specially donated to some poor candidates to go to Beijing to take the exam.
