Chapter 255: Learning from the West


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

"In the future, let's stay in Jingshi for a few days, and then go back to Bashang for a few days, San Lang, what do you think" Cui Yingying sat in a very beautifully decorated room, completely reluctant to leave.

There are two main buildings in this family, one for Zhang Chao and his son, and the one on the east side completely 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 always lived in a building and never lived in a cave, she still prefers such a house.

"Of course you can, tomorrow we will bring my father and mother here, and then hold a banquet here, so that everyone who comes and goes in Beijing can come and have a drink."

Naturally, such a good house cannot be left empty.

After living on both sides, I was tired of living in Chang'an City, so I went to the countryside to live for a few days, and when I was tired of living in the countryside, I went back to Chang'an to live for a few days.

"This building is mine, and no other women are allowed to live in it."

Cui Yingying said a little domineeringly.

Anyway, there are so many houses at home, in addition to these two main buildings, there are so many wings and backyards.

"The red line will not let it" Cui Yingying thought for a while, "The red line is also your concubine now, and there are many houses here, I think I will give her the west wing, and I will also match her with two girls."

Even Du Caiwei has two girls, and it is impossible not to have a red line" Although the red line on Bashang lives in the same room with Cui Yingying, and even sleeps on the same kang, but now Cui Yingying only wants to live in this building.

Today, I came to burn incense and worship the Buddha to ask for a child, and Cui Yingying wants a child.

"Yes, anyway, there are many rooms here, and the red line lives in the West Chamber, and I also give Shi Niang, Sha Niang, and Na Niang a room."

"You can arrange this matter yourself, anyway, you won't arrange a room for Du Caiwei at home, and you haven't discussed it with me."

In that matter, Cui Yingying is still a little jealous.

"Yingying, I'm going to go to Daxingshan Temple and a few other temples in the afternoon, do you want to go together?"

"Are you going to talk about printing" Cui Yingying knows a lot about things at home, and knows that Zhang Chao talked about printing in Qinglong Temple today.

"Well, go talk to those masters, didn't we talk to Qinglong Temple today about a Prajna Heart Sutra and a Lotus Sutra, if we can get other temples to print this scripture, then we can make another profit, and save a lot of engraving costs."

Even if you talk about other scriptures, you can make money. ” Zhang Chao planned to use the Buddhist temple in Chang'an to set off a craze for printing scriptures and make the reputation of printing technology out.

Then set up a bookstore and print and sell your own books.

"Then you can go by yourself, I'll visit my uncle's house in the afternoon and give some gifts."

When it comes to giving gifts, Cui Yingying has a smile on her face.

This smile is a bit naughty, there must be some conspiracy.

"You're going to send perfume," Zhang Chao quickly guessed.

"Well, the porcelain vases and sandalwood boxes you ordered earlier are ready, and the packaging is indeed quite luxurious.

I'm going to send a bottle to several aunts and princesses today."

"This is a good thing, there are the crown princess and a few princesses and ladies to experience it first, if they can also promote the perfume after using it, it will be even better."

Zhang Chao feels that Cui Yingying is really talented in business, and has completely grasped the positioning of perfume, which is a luxury product, and it is prepared for celebrities and ladies, and it is not directly sold in the store, but promoted through this kind of upper circle.

As long as you have fame, you are afraid that you will not be able to sell it Cui Yingying herself has a deep understanding of the rose dew at the beginning, how many people want it, and they want a bottle but can't get it.

"In two days, I plan to hold a party here, invite the crown princess and my aunt and many other nobles and daughters of famous families in Beijing to drink tea, and by the way, we can also promote our perfumes at that time, and take the opportunity to display our perfumes at that time."

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "Then I will accept the reservation, right?"

Cui Yingying nodded proudly, she had already deeply understood the marketing method that Zhang Chao taught her. handed over the perfume business to her, Zhang Chao was very relieved.

This is actually the same as those brands of jewelry, perfumes and skin care products in later generations, many celebrities and celebrities have built their own brands and sold very well.

Why, it depends on their own fame in this circle.

Perfume, Zhang Chao's price is extremely high, and it is destined to be only used by those ladies.

And Cui Yingying is also a person in this circle, if she sells incense with these noble ladies, it will be the same as selling facial masks in the WeChat circle of friends in later generations.

The difference is that in later generations, there were many facial masks, and friends may not come to you to buy them, but this perfume is the only one of the Zhang family.

There is also a rose flower dew that is paid tribute by Fanbang, and the quantity is even rarer, and the Zhang family's perfume is also limited in supply, but at least these noble ladies with status still have the opportunity to get it, and this perfume is obviously better and more high-end.

A single gathering of these ladies can be an excellent perfume fair. had a meal at home at noon, Cui Yingying was not very satisfied with the cook, the chef of the Zhang family was Zhou, and the usual meals of Zhang Chao's family were made by Qiuyue and Dongqing, these two girls won Zhang Chao's cooking skills.

Cui Yingying has eaten her mouth now, and she is really not used to ordinary dishes.

"Next time we come to stay, we must remember to bring Qiuyue and Dongqing over."

Daheungzenji Temple.

Zhang Chao looked at the temple.

This temple was built in Chang'an City during the time of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, and was originally called Zunshan Temple.

Later, Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty built the Zhiyu Temple on the original site to visit his father-in-law.

In the second year of Yang Jian's opening of the emperor, he built a great city and built a new capital, so he made a special edict to move the temple to the new capital, and ordered it to be a national temple.

Because Yang Jian was originally the Duke of Daxing County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the temple site was located in Jingshanfang, it was named after the word Daxing and the good character of Jingshanfang.

After the temple is completed, the main hall of the temple Chongguang Hall is the largest Buddha hall in the capital, the founder of the Great Xingshan Temple, Master Lingzang, because it is Yang Jian's cloth clothes to know the handover, so he served as the Sui Dynasty to manage the affairs of the monks and nuns of the Zhao Xuandu monks.

In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Huiyuan, Huizang, Seng Xiu, Baozhen, Hongzun, and Tan moved into Beijing as the "Six Virtues", and more than 300 monks entered the temple to make offerings, making it the way of the country.

This is also the beginning of the title of great virtue for ancient Chinese monks.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan also invited eight famous monks in the world to enter Beijing, and they were the eight great virtues, and they also practiced and preached 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 there is the National Translation Hall in Chang'an.

The famous three masters of the founding emperor, Yeriya Yasha, Jhannaborita and Dharma Gupta, three eminent monks from India, have been translating Buddhist scriptures here.

During the Kaihuang period, only these three eminent monks from India translated dozens of hundreds of volumes of sutras, mainly including Manjushri Sutra, Buddha Sutra, Virtuous Bodhisattva Sutra and so on At the beginning of Wude now, Daxingshan Temple is still the largest Buddhist temple with the most incense in Chang'an City, and it is also the temple with the most monks, especially the translation hall inside, there are many monks translating scriptures in it, which is sponsored by the imperial court.

Zhang Chao has been eyeing this place for a long time, and after translating the scriptures, of course he needs to copy them.

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

Zhang Chao is very confident in himself, and the price of his printing is only one-third of that of a hand-copy.

After walking around the temple, Zhang Chao was also amazed by the grandeur of this big temple.

Find a monk and get straight to the point.

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 in charge of reception and personnel.

Straight to the point, Zhang Chao first handed him a three-character scripture printed by engraving, and then bluntly said that the Zhang family's printing workshop can undertake the printing of scriptures, and the price is also very favorable as that of Qinglong Temple.

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

"The poor monk will take you to the lord."

The chief is one of the four deacons in the temple, also known as the superintendent and the chief head, who assists the abbot in managing the daily affairs of the temple.

There are five main heads in Daxingshan Temple, one of which is four deputies, and Zhang Chao saw the big head.

After all, printing scriptures is indeed a big deal.

"Thousands of scriptures can be printed in one month, tens of millions of words" The head was a little surprised, there are many monks who copy scriptures in Daxingshan Temple, these people are cultivated in the temple, they can read and write, and copy scriptures all day long, but a person only copies dozens of scriptures a month.

A thousand scriptures and thousands of volumes, hundreds of monks have to copy for a month.

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

"That's right, and my Zhangjia Bookstore prints books, as long as there are 1,000 copies, then a page of nearly 200 words, only 6 yuan, if you print more, Gao can reduce the most 2 yuan, 3,000 copies are printed, and each page is only 4 yuan."

According to the engraving charge, a version is only a few pennies, this price does make the main head a little excited.

The temple also sometimes asks the scribe to copy the book, but it is almost a cross money, and the seal of the Zhang family is only one-third, or even one-quarter, of the copy.

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

"Chief, I think the temple can choose one or two scriptures with fewer words to print, the cost is not much, you can also see the effect first.

If you are willing to print the Lotus Sutra, the Prajna Heart Sutra, I can make an exception, and you can print 500 copies. ” A Lotus Sutra of more than 70,000 words is worth three dollars, and a Prajna Heart Sutra of more than 200 words is only ten dollars.

"Print 1,000 copies of the Prajna Heart Sutra first, and if the printing is really beautiful and accurate, I will consider printing the Lotus Sutra and other sutras."

A thousand copies of the Heart Sutra are only ten, which is nothing to the first Buddhist temple in Chang'an such as Daxingshan Temple, after these scriptures are printed, the believers can be asked to go back, the Buddhist temple will not lose money, and even the sesame oil money will be more for the believers to ask for the scriptures.

The Lord is willing to print the scriptures, but only if the printed scriptures are indeed beautiful and accurate.

"Okay, in ten days, I will send a thousand copies of the Prajna Heart Sutra."

Zhang Chao replied with satisfaction.

Master Lingzang.

He was Yang Jian's confidant of Buyi, and at the same time served as a monk official of Zhaoxuandu in the Sui Dynasty who managed the affairs of monks and nuns throughout the country t1706231537:
