"Blood stained compassion!"
When the new issue of Ink magazine solemnly put the Zhao tragedy on the front page, the whole Chang'an city suddenly became a sensation.
Before that, Buddhism had a good reputation in the Tang Dynasty. It was compassionate and compassionate. However, the things reported in the ink magazine gave a great contrast to the citizens of Chang'an.
"Isn't Da Ci'en Temple always compassionate? How can it force people to commit suicide?"
"You don't know that! It's common for daci'en temple to borrow money. Where do you think the land under the name of those Buddhist temples came from?"
……………………
People talked and condemned the behavior of dacien temple.
"It's only natural that they owe money. The Zhaos don't pay it back, and they slander the reputation of dacien temple with death."
"This money is to gild the Buddha. If everyone borrows money and doesn't pay it back, how can we build the temple and build the Buddha?"
There are also foolish and loyal believers of daci'en Temple who constantly wash the white of daci'en temple.
"It's natural to pay off debts? Do you know that this is money in India. The donkey makes profits. Old man Zhao borrowed three Guan money and had to pay back forty Guan at once." a merchant sneered.
As merchants are sensitive to money outside the grid, they hate and fear donkey rolling. Once anyone gets involved in donkey rolling usury, it can be said that they have to peel off their skin if they don't die. Naturally, they know the horror of donkey rolling usury.
"So many?" they exclaimed.
The merchant sneered, "that's too much. You haven't heard of the game of doubling a penny between Mohist and Princess Changle. You know how terrible donkey rolling is."
"The game of doubling a penny?" people were surprised.
"If you don't try, you'll know." the merchant said proudly.
Curious, they kept doubling. When they doubled to 30 days, they were shocked to see the huge amount of money as high as 500 million.
"The donkey rolls over the usury, and it's so terrible!" for a moment, everyone is frightened when they see this figure. Although usury can't double the interest rate of a penny, the reason is the same.
Suddenly, the blood stained compassion in Ink magazine burst into flames with the game of doubling a penny, and public opinion fell to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao again, and the reputation of Da Ci'en Temple suddenly fell to the freezing point.
In daci'en temple, almost all the main monks gathered together and looked at the ink magazines in front of them with gloomy faces. For a long time, the reputation of the Buddhist temple was outside, and no one believed a person's nonsense. However, when the newspaper, a new thing, appeared in the Tang Dynasty, the right to speak suddenly changed. When it was said, it was known to all, and for a moment, The operation, which had been safe for many years, was magnified under the public, and the daci'en temple was taken by surprise.
"The Mohist school is deceiving people too much! My great Ci'en Temple and the well water of the Mohist school don't offend the river, but I should do so."
Tongji monk roared with a red face.
Other monks also looked angry. This time, the report of Ink magazine was a fatal blow to the reputation of daci'en temple. Once it lost its reputation, daci'en temple will surely decline and never return to its previous scenery. This will not only damage the overall interests of daci'en temple, but also damage the reputation of Buddhism.
"The poor monk said before that Buddhism is a quiet place. How can we release money? Otherwise, how can we have today's crisis." a kind-hearted old monk was distressed. Many monks also nodded repeatedly. They didn't agree with such dirty things that humiliate the reputation of Buddhism.
"Senior brother Tongren, you're standing and talking without back pain. Without the hard work of Tongji over the years, how could you have gilded the Buddha and expanded the temple today." Tongji monk sneered.
Tongren monks suddenly became silent. Although they did not agree with the release of printing money in daci'en temple, they were actually beneficiaries. Fundamentally speaking, they were not clean.
"Well, it's too late to say anything now. Now what we have to do is how to make the great Ci'en Temple get through this crisis." abbot Ci'en said calmly.
"Please tell the abbot," said the Tongji monk.
"Tongji! Old man Zhao's property is not allowed to be moved any more. In addition, all the borrowed money is interest free. How much you borrow, how much you get back, or even free," said abbot Ci'en.
"Ah! The Great Mercy Temple will lose a lot." the Tongji monk said discontentedly.
Tongren monk sneered: "at this time, you still think of these petty profits."
The Tongji monk suddenly changed his face and stared at his colleagues. When they remembered the past of Tongji monk, they trembled and shrank back.
"That's it! And in the future, daci'en temple will no longer set foot in Indian money, and all will be handed over to the bank." abbot Ci'en said.
"Yes!" the Tongji monk nodded reluctantly.
"What about the reputation of Da Ci'en Temple?" the Tongren monk dared not target Tongji again and turned to ask.
Abbot Ci'en immediately frowned. The harm of Ink magazine is too great. Now, the great Ci'en Temple can be said to be the point of Wanfu. We must recover its reputation as soon as possible in order to keep the great Ci'en Temple.
"Although Ink magazine has great influence, it is not alone. If you want to break the situation, you must ask for help from Confucianism." abbot Ci'en frowned.
Tongren monk said in his heart, "is what the abbot said a Confucian journal!"
"Not bad!" Abbot kindness nodded.
"Wonderful!" all the monks said happily. With the Confucian journal to wash the white of daci'en temple, it will certainly be able to wash away the bad name of daci'en temple.
"Yes, Confucianism and Mohism are rivals. This time, they will certainly help Ci'en Temple." the monk nodded.
"Not only that, but also warn Mohists not to do anything against Buddhism." Tongji monk said fiercely.
Abbot Ci'en nodded and said, "if we do both, we can have nothing in Da Ci'en Temple."
"The real great mercy temple!"
As the Confucian journal published the statement of dacien temple, which attributed the tragedy of the Zhao couple to the expensive medical expenses of the Mexican hospital, the Zhao couple exhausted their family property and still did not cure it. Only then did they commit suicide in despair. Dacien Temple chanted Scriptures for the Zhao couple in order to die, and publicized the good deeds done by the surface work of dacien temple and spread all over the world.
"I said how could the benevolent land of daci'en Temple make such a scandal? It must be the Zhao and his wife who committed suicide."
"Yes! Although the Mexican hospital is skilled, it charges a lot of money. Last time I went to see a doctor, I spent a lot of money."
"The charge of Mohist hospital is really not low. We are not Mohist children. We can treat diseases free of charge."
……………………
In fact, since the establishment of the Mohist hospital, the cure rate and cost of the people in the Tang Dynasty have been greatly reduced, but no one wants to spend money. Under the wrong guidance of the Confucian journal, the contradiction among the people has gradually turned to the charging problem of the Mohist hospital.
For a moment, the wind direction of Chang'an city changed again. After the introduction of Confucian journals and the reputation of daci'en temple, in the hearts of some foolish and loyal believers, daci'en temple was soon washed white, and the reputation of Mo hospital was greatly damaged.
