The money paid to donate to these temples was actually paid by Marseille. At the beginning, the money was to help some refugees and give them some clothes and food. However, with the development of business, refugees who first came to the capital had also found a livelihood, mainly working in the horse racing area. Later, Marseille established an education fund, and almost all the money donated by Marseille was invested in education.

That is, the temple education and Taoist education planned by Guo Dan.

This is mainly because building a college in Beijing, even primary schools is a troublesome thing. The key is that this teacher is rare, and you may not necessarily listen to you after searching for it. After all, this scholar has many principles.

Guo Dan simply placed education in temples and Taoist temples.

Neither monk nor Taoist priests are engaged in education. They do not have many principles in this regard. If Guo Dan gives money, you can teach whatever you say. Anyway, this is a good deed, not a matter of harming the will of heaven.

But after that, Guo Dan didn't care so much, at most he just made some arithmetic textbooks for them.

Of course, he knew that many people in Xinxing came from these temples, but he did not expect that rich people also wanted to study there now, so he decided to go and take a look.

“Wow, we didn’t come to the wrong place.”

When Guo Dan came to the foot of the mountain, he saw the grand temples, long corridors on the mountain, and many buildings still being built around him.

Before, Jinggu Temple was a very ordinary temple.

Yang Feixu on the side said, "Aren't you richer than before?"

Guo Dan turned his head and looked at Yang Feixu, and laughed and said, "You are much more beautiful than before."

Just then, a sound came from a distance: "Amitabha!"

Guo Dan turned around and saw Huiming leading the two old monks over, immediately put his palm on his chest, and chanted: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is color."

"That's a eunuch." Yang Feixu said coldly.

Guo Dan immediately felt a cool breeze blowing under his crotch and couldn't help but tremble.

"The donor Guo is here, and my temple is full of glory."

At this time, Huiming came forward and performed the Buddha's ritual.

The two old monks behind him were also respectfully bowed.

It is said in Journey to the West that monks also ask for personnel and affairs.

Guo Dan laughed and said, "The abbot is humble. Even if I don't come, the temple will shine brightly!"

"ah?"

Huiming was stunned at first, then smiled awkwardly, "This is all thanks to donor Guo to get blessings. Since donor Guo came, there have been many more people coming to burn incense, so I am."

"The abbot does not need to explain, this is what he should do."

Guo Dan raised his hand and said, "This temple is built a little larger and can accommodate more children to study. This is a good thing, and I am very supportive."

"Amitabha."

Huiming performed the Buddha's rituals again, and then said, "The donor is compassionate, good! Good!"

"Where, where!"

After some greetings, Guo Dan and Huiming walked up the mountain.

The money for the expansion of Jinggu Temple is not the money donated by Marseille, but the money donated by many merchants. This is because merchants often come to you to recruit people and donate some money, which is not easy to deal with. Over time, the incense here becomes more and more prosperous.

As soon as I arrived at the hillside, I heard the sound of reading, as if I had come to the academy, and I could not hear the chanting of Buddha's name and chanting sutras at all.

Guo Dan was very clear at the beginning. Don’t teach any Buddhist scriptures, just teach them to recognize words and teach Buddhist scriptures. If they believe in Buddha and become monks, you will not be able to support them.

Huiming thought about it and could not teach randomly. After all, Jinggu Temple does not have much land, and it is really hard to support it if there are too many people.

When he arrived on the mountain, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Feixu's eyes.

I saw that on the corridor, inside and inside the yard, there were children, both men and women, and at least two or three hundred people.

"Abbot, there are really a lot of people!"

Guo Dan was also a little surprised.

"Amitabha."

Huiming gave a tribute and explained: "There are currently 6320 students in our temple."

Yang Feixu frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that many, right?"

Huiming hurriedly explained: "It's true. Because there are too many students here and there are many businessmen over there who often need some numbers to recognize words and get help from others. Therefore, we arranged for each student to take three days of classes here and then go to the merchants to help for two days. In these two days, they can not only apply what they have learned, but also earn money from these three days of meals. At this time, there are only about 300 people studying here."

"So that's how it is."

Guo Tan nodded with a smile and said, "No wonder the students here are so popular. They have already gained work experience after studying."

Huiming smiled and nodded and said, "The donor said it well, that's exactly what it is."

But this was not what Huiming thought of, or in order to save costs, it was asked by the merchants to take the initiative. Nowadays, bartenders have to find ways to read, because customers have to read newspapers, and bartenders have to find the newspapers that customers want to read. Some students are specifically responsible for distributing newspapers in restaurants such as Jinyulou.

Guo Dan did not rush to sit in the house, but accompanied by Huiming and others, looked around and found that the teacher just taught them to recognize numbers and recognize words, and there was nothing special.

"Abbot, you can teach me how to recognize numbers and words. As for those experiences, they are not that important to the sons of businessmen. There is no need for their sons to come here to study." Guo Dan asked.

Huiming replied: "I have thought about this and even asked about it. This is because some businessmen found that even if they specifically hired teachers to teach, their sons were far inferior to the students here.

I analyzed that there are two reasons for this. First, we attach great importance to arithmetic here. The teachers they hired usually teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but the Four Books and Five Classics are not very helpful for doing business;

Secondly, the students here are talking about how to do business on weekdays, which is something that those teachers cannot teach.”

Guo Dan nodded thoughtfully and said, "But we have no choice. The money Marseille took out is for good deeds. Regarding this, I have promised the court that if we accept the rich children, we will be afraid of causing rumors. I hope that we can all not forget our original intentions and only help those in need, so as not to let the world ruin our previous efforts."

"Good! Good!"

Huiming clasped his hands together, and was about to perform the Buddhist ritual when he suddenly heard a shout from the foot of the mountain, "Person Guo! Are you on top?"

Guo Dan looked down and saw a small eunuch and two guards hurriedly walking up the mountain. The eunuch Guo Dan knew Xiao Jin, and it was this eunuch who was specifically blocking him at the city gate. He couldn't help but look tight. What happened again and waved, "Eunuch Xiao, I'm here."

Xiao Jin looked up and took a quicker pace.

After a while, Xiao Jin and the two guards came to the mountain, "Guo Dan, you're here, Your Majesty is coming soon."

"His Majesty?"

It was not Guo Dan who made a sound, but Huiming.

Huiming and the two old monks had surprisingly consistent expressions, as if they were dumbfounded, their chin was shocked.

The emperor is going to visit our temple?

Is this a dream?

Guo Dan didn't care about them and said in surprise: "Why is Your Majesty here?"

"You also want to ask, but it's all because of you!"

Xiao Jin gasped and said, "Your Majesty was going to ask you to go to the Royal Horse Farm together, but your father-in-law said you came here early in the morning. After hearing this, His Majesty planned to come and take a look."

Guo Dan blinked and thought, "I can't blame me for this!" Who told you to Wanli not make an appointment in advance, and you are a little too exaggerated. Just send someone to call me. There is no need to follow me, this is not like your style!"

But at this time, I didn't have to think too much and quickly went down the mountain to greet Huiming and others.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, they saw a group of people in the distance slowly heading here.

"Wow! So many people?"

Guo Dan said in surprise.

Xiao Jin hurriedly said, "Of course the ministers must accompany you when His Majesty leaves the palace."

In fact, what they saw now is only part of it, because the families have already gone to the Royal Horse Farm.

It can be seen that it will not take one or two days to travel with your family. Wanli has to live in the Royal Horse Farm for a period of time.

It turned out that after winning the tariff battle, the fat man suddenly became excited. He wanted to do something, but he really didn't like the imperial city. He felt that it was very dull. There were some old men around him and there were many rules. He didn't want to work there. At that time, he thought of the office in the Prize Pool Hall, so he decided to go to the Royal Horse Farm.

After a while, the team finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. The fat man, with the help of Li Gui, carefully got off the carriage.

In addition, there are Zhang Jing, Zhang Cheng, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, Fang Fengshi, Yang Mingshen, Li Zhi, etc.

At least half of the court has come!

Guo Dan, Huiming and others, knelt down and gave a big gift.

"No gift!"

Wanli walked forward and smiled and said, "I have personally approved this education fund. I have long wanted to come over and see if you spend all this money on education."

He was actually a little unhappy about this matter because he paid the money, but he couldn't tell it out. Guo Dan made a fortune. He felt that this was a loss. The stingy Wanli wanted Huiming and the others to know that this was criticized by me. Without my supervision, Guo Dan, a big tyrant, would never be able to use so much money to do good deeds. Don't do anything about Guo Dan's merit.

Are you as for it? This is also a matter of conspiracy. Guo Dan wasn’t Wanli’s little thoughts and hurriedly said: “If you can get your Majesty’s personal guidance, it will be a great blessing for those students!”

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "You boy is really good at speaking. Your Majesty just came over to see if your money is used in practice. It is not that easy for the emperor to be a disciple."

Wanli glanced at Zhang Jing, smiled happily, and said, "You all beloved, please go up and take a look with me."

"I will obey the order."

While they were talking, the guards had surrounded the place, and even the birds could not fly over.

When he arrived on the mountain, the scene in front of him suddenly made Wanli and others stunned.

There is no trouble of silk and bamboo, no labor of desks, and the sound of reading aloud is everywhere among the clouds and mist, and the scale of reading is something they have never seen in their lives.

Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping, Yang Mingshen and other major scholars were immediately infected by the atmosphere, and they all looked excited, as if they had found a home.

Just then, I suddenly heard a reading aloud: "It blooms every three thousand years, bears every three thousand years, and it takes another three thousand years to ripen. It takes only ten thousand years to eat it."

Everyone's expressions changed suddenly.

Isn’t this Journey to the West?
