There is such a beautiful house in Chang'an City, and Cui Yingying plans to bring her family and live in the capital for a few days first.

"In the future, we will stay in the capital for a few days, and then go back to Bashang for a few days. Sanlang, what do you think?" Cui Yingying sat in the beautifully decorated room and was completely reluctant to leave. The two main buildings in this house are Zhang Chao and his son, one building, and the building to the east belongs to Zhang Chao and his wife.

Compared with the caves in the countryside, the buildings are much more open and comfortable. Especially for people like Cui Yingying who have been living in a building and never lived in a cave, she still prefers such a house.

"Of course, we can bring our parents and the others tomorrow, and then hold a banquet here, so that all the families who come and go to Beijing can have a drink." Such a good house cannot be empty. In the future, living on both sides and living in Chang'an City, we will go to the countryside for a few days. If we are tired of living in the countryside, we will go back to Chang'an for a few days.

"This building is mine, and no other women are allowed to live in it." Cui Yingying said domineeringly. Anyway, there are so many houses in the house, in addition to these two main buildings, there are so many wing rooms and backyards.

"There is no red line"

Cui Yingying thought for a while, "Hong Line is now your concubine, and there are many houses here. I think I will give her the west wing room and give her two more girls. Even Du Caiwei has two girls, so the red line cannot be without it, right?" Although Hong Line lives in the same room as Cui Yingying, and even sleeps on the same kang, Cui Yingying now only wants to live in this building. Today, she comes to burn incense and worship Buddha to pray to her for a child, and Cui Yingying wants a child.

"Okay, there are many rooms here anyway, Hongzhi lives in the west wing, so I will also give Shi Niang, Sa Niang and Na Niang a room."

"Just make arrangements for this matter by yourself. Anyway, you have arranged a house for Du Caiwei at home, and you have never discussed it with me." Cui Yingying was a little jealous of that matter.

"Yingying, I plan to go to Daxingshan Temple and several temples in the afternoon. Do you want to go together?"

"Do you go and talk about printing?" Cui Yingying knew very well about the affairs at home and knew that Zhang Chao talked about printing in Qinglong Temple today.

"Well, let's talk to those masters. Today I'm talking to Qinglong Temple about a Heart Sutra of Prajna and a Lotus Sutra. If other temples can also print this sutra, we can make another profit and save a lot of carved papers. Even if we talk to other sutras, we will make money."

Zhang Chao was preparing to use the Buddhist temples in Chang'an to set off a craze for printing scriptures and make the reputation of printing technology. Then he set up a bookstore himself and printed books for sale.

"Then you go by yourself. I'll visit my uncle's house in the afternoon and give me some gifts." When talking about giving gifts, Cui Yingying smiled. This smile was a bit naughty, and there must be some conspiracy.

"You are going to send perfume," Zhang Chao guessed it quickly.

"Well, the porcelain bottles and sandalwood boxes you customized have been made, and the packaging is indeed quite grand and luxurious. Today I am going to give a bottle to my aunts and princesses!"

"This is a good thing. If the princess and several dukes and maids first experience it. If they can promote perfume after using it, it would be even better."

Zhang Chao felt that Cui Yingying was really talented in business and fully grasped the positioning of perfume, which was a luxury product, prepared for the ladies and ladies. It was not sold directly in the store, but was promoted through such upper-level circles.

As long as you have fame, you are still afraid that you can't sell it?

Cui Yingying herself has a deep understanding of the rose dew. How many people wanted it? They wanted a bottle but couldn't get it.

"After two days, I plan to hold a party here to invite many noble ladies and daughters from famous families in Beijing, such as the Crown Princess and aunt, to drink tea, and to promote our perfume at that time, and take the opportunity to display our perfume at that time."

Zhang Chao said with a smile, "Then accept the reservation, right?"

Cui Yingying nodded proudly. She had already deeply understood the marketing method that Zhang Chao taught her.

Zhang Chao was very relieved to hand over the perfume business to her. This is actually the same as the jewelry, perfume and skin care brands in later generations. Many celebrities and celebrities built their own brands and sold very well. Why is it because of their own fame in this circle.

Zhang Chao has a very high price for perfume, and it is destined to be only available to those noble ladies. Cui Yingying is also a person in this circle. Does she sell fragrance like these noble ladies? It is the same as later generations selling facial masks on WeChat Moments. The difference is that many people in later generations sell facial masks, and friends may not necessarily buy them from you, but this perfume is the only one in the Zhang family.

There is also a rose dew that is paid tribute by Fanbian, and the quantity is even smaller. The Zhang family’s perfume is also available in limited quantities, but at least these noble ladies with status still have the chance to get it. Moreover, this perfume is obviously better and more high-end.

A gathering of these noble ladies may be an excellent perfume exhibition.

I had a meal at home at noon, and Cui Yingying was not very satisfied with the chef. The chef of the Zhang family on the Bashang was Zhou, and the usual meals of Zhang Chao's family were made by Qiuyue and Dongqing. These two girls were well-known to Zhang Chao's cooking skills. Cui Yingying now has a mouth full of food, and she is really not used to ordinary dishes.

"Next time we come here to live, remember to bring Qiuyue and Dongqing here."

Daxingshan Temple.

Zhang Chao looked at the temple. This temple was built in Chang'an City during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin and was initially called Zunshan Temple. Later, Emperor Ming of Northern Zhou built Zhi'an Temple on the original site and looked at his father-in-law.

In the second year of Kaihuang, Yang Jian ordered the construction of Daxing City and the construction of Xindu, so he specially ordered the temple to be moved to Xindu and ordered it to be a national temple. Because Yang Jian was originally the Duke of Daxing County during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the temple site was located in Jingshanfang, he was named after the two characters Daxing and the characters Shanfang in Jingshanfang.

After the temple was completed, the main hall of the temple Chongguang Hall was the largest Buddhist temple in the capital. Master Lingzang, the founder of Daxingshan Temple, was known as Yang Jian's commoner, so he served as the Zhaoxuandu monk official who managed the affairs of monks and nuns in the Sui Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Kaihuang, Huiyuan, Huizang, Monk Xiu, Baozhen, Hong Zun and Tan were summoned to the capital as the "Six Great Masters". More than 300 monks entered the temple to offer sacrifices, and they were asked to practice the country. This was also the beginning of the title of great masters in ancient China. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan also invited eight famous monks from all over the world to the capital to become the eight great masters and practiced in this temple.

Of course, Zhang Chao came to Daxingshan Temple today mainly because it is not only the largest Buddhist temple in Chang'an, but also because it is the National Translation Museum in Chang'an.

The three famous masters of Kaihuang, Yelian Tiri Yeshe, Nagnagot, and Damogupta, three eminent monks from India have been translating Buddhist scriptures here.

During the Kaihuang period, these three eminent monks from India alone translated dozens of scriptures and hundreds of volumes, mainly including the Manjushri practice scriptures, the Buddha's practice collection scriptures, and the Virtue Bodhisattva Sutra;

At the beginning of Wude, Daxingshan Temple is still the largest and most popular Buddhist temple in Chang'an City and the temple with the most monks. Especially in the translation hall inside, there are many monks who translate the scriptures. This was sponsored by the imperial court.

Zhang Chao had already set his sights on this place and had translated the scriptures, so of course he needed to copy them.

If Zhang Chao can negotiate with him here, it would be a big business.

Zhang Chao is very confident in himself. The price he prints is only one-third of the price he sells.

After walking around the temple, Zhang Chao was also very amazed at the grandeur of this big temple. He found a monk and told him his purpose.

Zhang Chao soon met a Zhike. This old monk was not an ordinary Zhike monk, but one of the four deacons in the temple, who was specifically responsible for reception and personnel.

To get straight to the point, Zhang Chao first handed him a woodblocked three-character scripture, and then bluntly said that the Zhang family's printing shop could undertake the printing of scriptures, and the price was as good as Qinglong Temple.

Zhang Chao even intentionally revealed that Qinglong Temple has planned to print 1,000 Lotus Sutras and 10,000 copies of the Prajna Heart Sutra.

"I will take you to see the leader."

The head of the temple is one of the four major deacons, also known as the supervisory institute. The head of the head of the temple assists the abbot in managing the daily affairs of the temple.

There are five main leaders in Daxingshan Temple, one of which is the main leader and the fourth deputy. Zhang Chao met the main leader. After all, printing scriptures is indeed a big deal.

"Can you print thousands of scriptures in one month, tens of millions of words?"

The head of the head was a little surprised. There were many monks who copied scriptures in Daxingshan Temple. These people were trained in the temple. They could read and write scriptures all day long, but a person could only copy dozens of scriptures per month. A thousand scriptures cost thousands of volumes, hundreds of monks could copy them for a month.

But there are not so many monks in the temple who can copy scriptures. It is not easy to cultivate a monk who can copy scriptures.

"That's right, and my Zhang Family Bookstore prints only for a thousand pieces, and then a page of books costs nearly 200 words, which is only 6 cents. If you print more, you can get two more words off. If you print three thousand pieces, you only need four cents per page."

The price is charged by the carved version, and one version costs only a few cents. This price really makes the head excited. In the temple, people will also ask copyists to copy books, but it is almost a cross one ounce, and the Zhang family's printing books are only one third or even one quarter of the books.

However, the only thing that made the leader hesitate was that the Zhang family had to print thousands of copies.

"Master, I think you can choose one or two scriptures with less words in the temple. The cost is not much, so you can also see the effect first. If you are willing to print the Lotus Sutra and the Heart Sutra of Prajna, I can break the example, and you can print it in five hundred copies."

A book of three silos of Lotus Sutra worth more than 70,000 words, and a book of Prajna Heart Sutra worth more than 200 words, only ten cents are needed.

"I will first print a thousand copies of the Prajna Heart Sutra. If the printing is indeed exquisite and accurate at that time, I will consider printing the Lotus Sutra and other scriptures."

A thousand pieces of Prajna Heart Sutra are only ten pieces, which is nothing for a first Buddhist temple in Chang'an like Daxingshan Temple. After these scriptures are printed, you can ask believers to invite them back. The Buddhist temple will not lose money, and even the money for the indulgence and oil to be spent on the prayers will be even more.

The head of the Lord is willing to print the scriptures, but the premise is that the printed scriptures are indeed exquisite and accurate.

"Okay, in ten days, I will send a thousand Prajna Heart Sutra." Zhang Chao replied with satisfaction.

Master Lingzang. He was Yang Jian's common friend and was the monk official of Zhaoxuandu who was in charge of the country's monks and nuns in the Sui Dynasty to be continued.
