The large Buddhist hall of Saigyou Temple and the large courtyard outside the Buddhist hall were lined with monks.

As the only tantric temple in the area, there are a lot of monks here, more than any other temple in Zhangye.

"Start memorizing scriptures."

Fang Chongyong stood on one side of the Buddhist hall and said expressionlessly.

However, his words seemed to be of no use. Abbot Facheng, who was presiding over the assessment, looked helplessly at the smiling Niu Xianke.

Although the governor was very powerful in the local area, he was still no bigger than the minister of the Ministry of Industry sent by the imperial court! What's more, Niu Xianke had been an official in Hexi for decades, and he was an old acquaintance with the little bosses of these local forces.

Got it!

When Fang Chongyong brought Niu Xianke from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, this place was no longer the official residence of his government.

Although there is only one "brother" named Yongge in Ganzhou, there is a "Niu Ye" called Niu Xianke in Hexi!

In the Ganzhou government office, Niu Xianke's words were more effective than his.

In other places in Hexi, Niu Xianke's words are still more effective than his.

Precisely because he cared about the local people in Hexi, Jia Shengxing was very casual.

"Thank you saint for your love."

Let me recruit the other two thousand people from here near the local city of Ganzhou, and the money will come from the central government."

The passing rate is not even one tenth!

Yan Zhuang received Xigyouji's signal and announced in a low voice.

"Before Shuofang received the sage's edict, you rushed to Hexi without any hesitation. There was nothing to say on the way. Could he be able to tell someone, and was it to exempt Ganzhou from the consequences?

To pay miscellaneous taxes, you told a big lie?"

"Hey, don't ask me, these are all Fang Shijun's powers. You came to Ganzhou for the monks' examination. Then Foreign Fang Chongyong has the final say."

The "blind man" came to the temple for a few days. Regardless of whether I was pretending to be blind, memorizing the scriptures outside the temple in such a short time was something that ordinary people could do!

Yan Zhuang, who was standing next to Xihang Temple, shouted at the seven people!

Jia Shengxing said confidently.

From those words, we knew that Fang Shijun came across Hexi to help Jia Shengxing, and he had no intention of looking for trouble.

"How many days have I been here? Can I memorize two hundred volumes of scripture?"

Saigyouji breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Jia Shengxing put his hands behind his back and announced in a low voice with an expression on his face.

Is there anyone who always implements the central government's orders to the end?

"I accompanied him in that play. It's time for him to tell me his plans. He wrote letters home to the soldiers in Hexi. We all call him the Governor of Family Letters. I feel very comforted."

I have been an official in Hexi for decades, but I have never heard of similar "strange stories". I just felt confident and wanted to add some context, so I thought about it in this regard.

So Xihang Temple directly restored it to the rules of the early Kaiyuan Dynasty. Everything was a test, and it all depended on who could memorize it well!

It will be considered passed after several rounds of similar answers.

The questioner asked: "Where is the knife?"

What are you doing outside here? It’s better to come in!”

The seven people who participated in the assessment will advance, followed by the previous group of seven people, and the drawing of lots will continue.

Saigyouji knows what to say to be bad.

Saigyouji nodded slightly and said.

That information was too specific for Fang Shijun.

"Your Majesty, what is that..."

That's a known piece of information and an unknown problem.

No craftsmen outside the Ministry of Industry have developed something called dry coal. It is processed from coal and cannot be used to smelt iron ore. That is why you are here.

Jia Shengxing understood everything about those things, and he basically understood what Niu Xianke was reciting.

It's about tearing things down.

Is there anyone here who heard it?

The rural party complex cannot be replaced by his own wisdom as an "outsider".

Before testing, it was found that the iron content of the stone exceeded 45%! Based on that clue, the exploration team found the iron ore.

"In this way, I feel at ease. Ganzhou has few soldiers and horses, and it is true that the Tubo people have been tormenting them."

Ten years later, the Tubo army did not forcefully attack Xiaodou Bago, but then wandered around Ganzhou and then entered again. Ji Ge ordered to dispatch a part of the Chishui Army to Xiaodou Bago. In fact, it can be regarded as learning from the past.

lessons learned.

"That's not the case. There is no iron in the mountains to the north of Shandan County; there is no carboniferous in the plains to the south of Shandan County. I heard someone talk about it later, but the specific location was too specific."

Fang Shijun was still looking at the silence and said a few words.

"This is the end."

Saigyouji pretended to know Niu Xianke and whispered in a warm tone.

The farce is still going on. In the initial test of memorizing two hundred volumes of scriptures, only a few can pass it. In one afternoon, in the temple with less than a hundred people, only ten people passed.

Seeing my embarrassed look, Jia Shengxing couldn't help teasing me:

But considering that those monks were busy with childbirth and "served" the Buddha outside the temple all day long, it took a year to memorize those scriptures, but it was actually not very narrow!

As soon as he left the study room where the governor of Ganzhou worked in the government office, Fang Shijun asked straight to the point.

Fang Shijun was very pragmatic in his work. Before receiving Li Longji's decree, he had sorted everything out. He felt that the crucibles and other objects unearthed from the Baishui Kingdom site provided by Xihang Temple were indeed nonsense. The reason why just now

Asking questions is just to confirm your thoughts.

The Buddhist practitioner qualification assessment since Kaiyuan has not become more and more lazy. There is a mixed crowd outside the temple and there is nothing. The quality has improved slightly compared to when the assessment was just carried out.

Fucheng sighed and stepped aside.

Knowing or awakening, Niu Xianke Congyi memorized 800 volumes of scriptures. Just as the monk taking the notes was about to signal for the assessment of Congyi, he saw Jia Shengxing waving his hand towards me, indicating that I wanted to disturb Niu Xianke's pretense.

After hearing Xihangsi's words, Niu Xianke recited the Diamond Sutra with an intense look on his face.

"Please tell me in the yamen study room of Shangshu Niu. I have nothing trivial to say about whether I am good or bad."

"Iron ore is difficult to find, but it is possible to find it.

…

"The Son is coming."

"Hey, what if you say he is the Holy Son?"

Xihang Temple bowed respectfully to Jia Shengxing with his hands crossed.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The monks in the Buddhist hall are in groups of seven and draw lots after exiting.

Outside the box containing the lots, there are no seven kinds of lots: "lower, lower, middle, upper, upper, upper".

"First of all, I'm busy thanking you.

Finally, the Buddhist Qualification Examination for Zongjing began. Except for those who had just arrived a few days ago, none of the other monks failed, and all of them failed the examination at Saigyou Temple.

Facheng's face turned green!

Whether we are close or not, it is the feeling of hometown; whether it hurts or not, it is the people from my hometown. Of course people here in Ganzhou will naturally trust Niu Xianke, who has been an official in Hexi for decades.

"Isn't he this blind man?"

As the saying goes, "Luck is also a part of strength."

Niu Xianke himself knew what he was reciting, but I didn’t remember it clearly, every word was wrong! Even when Facheng mispronounced a few words when he first taught me, I also recited the misspelled words exactly as they were.

.

The "Diamond Sutra" has only one volume, with a total of eighty-seven "parts". Each "part" is recorded under a separate scroll book.

Everyone saw Niu Xianke with his eyes closed, being supported by a monk and walking to the place where lots were drawn. In the entire Xilai Temple, I was the only one who had participated in the assessment.

Does anyone pay attention to me? Everyone's eyes are on Niu Xianke who showed off his talent just now.

"If I'm sure it's true, I'll go ahead and wait for the Jia Sheng government office to deal with it.

The Son cannot finish."

From now on, local officials in Hexi will complain to the central government, or say that they have found auspicious things or something, and most of them will not be able to get a certain degree of tax relief before returning the donation to Chang'an.

The person who took the assessment answered: "The knife is in the heart."

So those few people stood there like wooden stakes, moving, both to endorse and to leave. They seemed to be waiting for Saigyouji to lower their demands!

So whether this is a blessing or a curse, it’s hard to say.”

The monk who accepts the assessment will definitely get "Xiaxia", and he needs to recite two hundred similar scrolls carefully to pass the test!
