Chapter Manage the right way

In the early morning, everyone started climbing the mountain. Wang De led two small yellow gates and four guards to the front station first. At first, Wang Yinglin and Xie Fangde were still able to follow along, enjoying the scenery along the way and telling some allusions. However, halfway through the journey, and the weather became hotter. Although he tried hard to move forward, he could not keep up with the pace of the little emperor and had to step into the sedan chair.

Zhao Bing was young and vigorous, and insisted on exercising. He was full of energy, but he didn't feel tired. Ni Liang and the inner guard were selected soldiers in the army. They practiced every day, so this path was no problem. What surprised him was that Lu Xu was very thin and seemed weak, but he always followed him and followed him. This physical strength was rare among civil servants.

"Mr. Lu, I admire how I can keep up with me!" Zhao Bing walked to a flat place, which was also a place for pilgrims to take a break from the mountain. They also found a place of shade for a while. He took the water bag handed over by the guard and drank the water channel.

"Fifth brother is sorry." Lu Xu also carried the water hyacinth with him and filled it with air and smiled, "I came from a farmer's family. I went to the fields to farm and went up the mountain to chop firewood. I was fortunate to be admitted to the imperial examination and I was admitted to the government. My salary was only enough for the family, and I couldn't afford to travel to the cattle, so I could only walk into the court. Although I worked hard, I also trained my good legs and feet, and now I can still handle it by walking for more than ten miles."

"Haha, I was fat when I was young, so I had to rest if I didn't walk far. Later, I followed the old monk to practice martial arts. He chased me with a ruler every day, and he was slowing down for a while, and he could only run some roads in a long time." Zhao Bing smiled and laughed at himself.

"After I arrived in Qiongzhou, I often practiced with my guards and ran around the city to siege the city. I admired it very much at that time." Lu Xu also smiled, "I heard that the master has returned to Quanzhou to practice. I think the fifth brother is also proficient in Buddhism!"

"Wrong, the master said that I have no fate with the Buddha and never passed down the Dharma. He could only redeem me in front of the Buddha." Zhao Bing chuckled. Yuan Miao said this correctly. He only had family affection with him, but had nothing to do with the Buddha. He fought on the battlefield and killed countless people. As the master, he could only say something good to his disciple in front of the Buddha.

"Fifth brother is a person favored by God and must be protected by Gods and Buddhas." Lu Xu had no chance to get along with the little emperor in the past. This time he accompanied His Majesty to climb the mountain, and found that he was as rumored as he was very kind to others, without the arrogant aura, but he did not dare to be arrogant.

However, Lu Xu thought that the young emperor had been practicing martial arts with Master Yuanmiao since he was a child and was protected by him. He would definitely learn Buddhism for a long time. This was just a joke. But when they finally entered the mountain gate, climbed to the peak platform, and entered Huacheng Temple, he believed it. The temple was a four-entry courtyard-style building. Each courtyard was built on a mountain platform, rising gradually like steps, and it was the Lingguan Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Great Hall and the Sutra Pavilion.

After entering each hall, pilgrims usually worship incense and worship Buddha and make donations. When they enter the hall, everyone below the king will worship devoutly. Only the young emperor followed the crowd and walked out with his head held high. He stayed in the hall to admire the murals in the hall, or "watch the ceremony" on the side. What was even more over-interested in studying how the hall was built, but he was not interested in Buddha statues, and even gave him no money to give.

When everyone bowed one by one, it was almost noon. They wanted to use a vegetarian food in the temple, but the monk refused on the grounds that the guest was full. This made Lu Xu very angry. What an identity is the emperor? Eating vegetarian food in the temple was to give them a face, but now he was turned away, making him feel embarrassed. He wanted to go forward to argue, but the little emperor grabbed him and waved his hand with a smile to ask him not to say too much.

Fortunately, Wang De, who was standing in front of the station, had already made some vegetarian snacks and vegetarian cakes and other foods in the kitchen yesterday, so he would not be hungry. They looked for a grass pavilion outside the dormitory of the Main Hall and sat down to rest. Everyone was thirsty, and the water that was carrying up the mountain was approaching. Wang De asked to go to the temple to ask for some hot water, but was rejected. He only told him that there was water in the well and could do it by himself, which made him very angry. He could only take water and start a fire to make tea, but so many people could not supply it for a while.

"Fifth brother, this Jiuhua Mountain local tea is very famous. It is said to be a tea seed brought by the founder of the mountain from Goryeo. After visiting Jiuhua, Zhou Zichen, the left prime minister of our dynasty, he once said that he was a greedy enemy of Beiyuan." Wang Yinglin said.

"Chen Ya once once wrote a poem that said: The warm wind blows the purple bud stems, and people cook at the top of the mountain. It also states that Yan Shengyan produces tea on the northern stream, which is very good. You can taste it." Xie Fangde also introduced.

"Oh, there is also local tea that is comparable to Longtuan Tea, which I have heard of before!" Zhao Bing said skeptically. In Jian'an, Jianzhou, the dragon Tuan Tea produced in Beiyuan is exclusively for royal royal use. It is the most popular famous tea in the Song Dynasty. Most people have no chance to taste it. As the left prime minister, Zhou Bida had the opportunity to taste this top imperial tea.

"A few donors, the temple has the best Buddhist tea, so you should taste it?" As soon as Zhao Bing finished speaking, a little novice monk stepped forward and asked, but was stopped by the guards a few steps away.

"Haha, let's try it two pots first!" Zhao Bing laughed in surprise when he heard this. It seemed that he was being 'stared'.

"Looking at my grandeur and walking on a dragon and tiger, I must be a rich and noble person. Is there two pots of tea for so many people..." The little novice monk wanted to speak but stopped and said with a smile.

"It seems that I still need a few more pots, otherwise I will have a bad reputation of not caring about my servants!" Zhao Bing pointed at everyone and said.

"We have thanked the fifth brother!" Wang Yinglin said with graces and said with interest.

"The little monk saw that the gentlemen were all elegant people. Giving some small money and adding some sesame oil in front of the Buddha can also ensure the safety of the family." The little monk did not move, but bowed again.

"What's the saying?" Zhao Bing sounded very familiar. Isn't this just the clichés of the salesmen in his previous life? He simply told him straightforwardly.

"Donor, I can only feel sorry for you to use tea here. You can use 10 coins of money to use tea in the guesthouse. If you add some more vegetarian food, you can serve it." The little shark cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée clichée squid, and answered with eyes down.

"What if we donate a hundred charity?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"The little temple can provide you with a few guest rooms for two days. You can offer good Buddhist tea every day!" The little shaman smiled without being surprised and happy.

"Rareless!" Lu Xu couldn't hold his face when he heard this and shouted, "You are all outsiders. You should know that all living beings are equal, but they are divided into different levels. What's the reason?"

"Don't be upset, the Buddha also needs to worship, but the little monk did not greedy for the donor's penny. Moreover, most of the monks' fields in the temple were confiscated by the government, and many monks also need food and clothing to serve the Buddha sincerely!" The little monk said with a smile.

"Haha!" Everyone looked at Lu Xu and burst into laughter.

"This..." Lu Xu was blushed, embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Wang De, go and do some good deeds, it's not in vain for the little monk's mouth!" Zhao Bing turned his face and smiled at Wang De.

"Yes, brother!" Wang De called a small yellow gate and asked him to take a hundred guan to hand it to the little shark.

After giving, the treatment of their group immediately changed greatly. They changed into a small yard from the grass pavilion. Not only did they have the main hall, but also the east and west wing rooms. The yard was also relatively spacious, with stone tables and stone benches, and more than a dozen scattered among them were not crowded at all. For safety reasons, Wang De did not use the tea sent by the little novice monk, but instead ordered some tea slices and cooked them by himself.

There were two tables of vegetarian food served slightly slower. It was not particularly rich, but it was very delicate and tasted delicious. After walking for a long time, everyone was already hungry and filled their stomachs. Then they moved to the tea room in the hall to taste tea and talk. The yard was on the top of the mountain. When they opened the window, they could see the mountain view. The sauna was blown away by the heat, which was very pleasant.

"Oh, now the world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not as good as ever. This monk has not studied Buddhism carefully, but he has started to recite business scriptures!" As a local parent official, Lu Xu would naturally be welcomed by monks when he climbed the mountain, and the host would also personally accompany him to talk. Today, a little novice monk sent them away, not only did he even give them tea before he could drink a sip, which made him very upset.

"Yes, the Buddhist family values ​​hard work to understand the true meaning of it, but now they are also pursuing extravagance, which is no different from ordinary people." Xie Fangde shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Today, the fifth brother spent money, so that we could get a vegetarian meal. But I wonder why the fifth brother refused to give a pen in the hall, but was willing to give a hundred trump card to the little novice monk?" Wang Yinglin was still puzzled by His Majesty's very different actions and asked with a smile.

"How about you taste this Buddha tea first?" Zhao Bing smiled and did not answer, pointing to the tea soup I just delivered, "I am not good at this. Drinking tea is nothing more than quenching thirst. It is all a cow drink. I have never tasted good or bad!"

"Well, it's pretty good!" Wang Yinglin picked up the tea bowl, sniffed it first, then used the lid of the bowl to dissipate the tea foam, and sniffed it lightly.

"I think it's average, it's much worse than the dragon group." Xie Fangde also spoke.

"I have never eaten Longtuan tea, so I can't compare it, but this tea is no different than local local tea." Lu Xupin shook his head afterwards.

"The name of this Buddha tea is not true!" Zhao Bing also took a sip and said with a smile. He knew that this tea cooking was a skill, and the little yellow doors around him who specialize in making tea were all rigorously trained, so there were naturally no mistakes in the techniques and procedures. However, although the evaluations of the people were implicit and some were blunt, Lu Xu was an official in the local area and naturally drank local local tea. It is not considered, but it is enough to show that it is nothing.

"Fifth brother, we were deceived by those monks!" Wang De had never suffered from this kind of pickled breath, and he finally couldn't help it.
