In Jiankang East, near Fangshan Jinshiguan, in a glass field, the chimneys of several kilns were emitting blue smoke, and a large number of workers in work clothes were busy around these kilns.

When the kiln door opened, the shed was instantly reflected by the flames in the kiln. The workers began to make glass beads according to the work process.

The molten glass flows out of the glass kiln and walks forward along the conveying trough, forming a red "long strip".

Then cut into equal length pieces by the rotary cutting machine and land on the inlet pipe of the forming machine.

Slide down along the pipe and enter the middle of a pair of pairs of threaded long pipes. The threaded long pipe rotates toward it, and the small pieces of bright red glass falling into it are continuously transported forward and allow it to rotate continuously.

As the glass turns, the glass block turns spherical, the bright red gradually becomes darker, that is, it slowly cools down. When it reaches the end of the threaded long tube, it has turned into a round glass bead.

The machine powered by hydraulic power kept running, glass beads fell into the pallet, and were then packed into a dustpan and turned to sitting workers.

These men and women wearing work clothes and sleeves sat behind the "workbench", each with hair was covered with hair, which was less than an inch long. They picked up the glass beads in the dustpan in front of them one by one and looked at them carefully.

When you find defective glass beads, you put them in a small basket next to you. After collecting these defective products, they must be remelted.

Qualified glass beads will enter the next process: packaging.

There are a large number of men and women who are responsible for packaging: glass beads of different sizes and wooden boxes of different sizes to pack.

The packaged "products" must also undergo "sample inspection". The random inspection personnel randomly check the packaged wooden boxes and then open them to inspect the glass beads inside.

Only when the sampling inspection is passed will the "product" be packed. If it fails...

Naturally, there are corresponding processes to deal with it.

This glass workshop in Shaofu Temple produces more than 5,000 glass beads per day. Although the product does not have to worry about sales, it will not sell shoddy products to make money.

After all, today's Shaofu Temple is different from the previous Shaofu Temple.

Jia Cheng, the young master of the Shaofu, came to inspect the workplace today. He looked at the busy workers in the shed, and had enough time to find no one who violated work discipline. He was very satisfied.

When Li Li became the emperor, the Li family's property naturally became the royal property and gradually included in the jurisdiction of Shaofu Temple.

But it was not Shaofu Temple that annexed the Li family industry, but the Li family industry that annexed the Shaofu Temple: the managers of various industries of the Li family entered Shaofu Temple to work and reform the existing system (handicrafts) of Shaofu Temple.

The Shaofu Temple, which mainly serves the emperor, will be transformed into a money tree that can bring wealth to the emperor through the joint venture.

The products of this glass field are not only sold in Sanwu area, but also sold overseas to "expand the market".

Looking at the busy work scene, Jia Cheng didn't want to disrupt the pace of production, so he stood outside the shed and asked the officials accompanying the inspection: "Have these new employees adapted to the secular life?"

An official replied: "Adapted to it, at least the daily life in the workshop is very regular, and the work that should be done, the entertainment that should be done, and the rest that should be done."

Jia Cheng nodded: "When the time is right, organize a blind date for men and women workers, get married, and get married, and be determined."

He walked forward, listening to officials' reports on the work and life of the monks and nuns in the workplace while walking.

Last year, the court began to "prosecute temples" before the dynasty changed. Now nearly a year has passed and the results have been significant.

Let’s talk about it elsewhere, just talk about Jiankang. Before Jiankang, there were about 600 Buddhist temples and tens of thousands of monks and nuns. Many temples had a large amount of land that did not pay rent and a large number of temple households who did not serve labor.

Now, after some rectification, there are twenty Buddhist temples in Jiankang City (total size), and the rest of the Buddhist temples have been turned into private houses, and their Buddha statues have been processed accordingly.

Seventy percent of monks and nuns returned to secular life, and 70 percent of temple fields began to pay taxes, while all temple households have cancelled their temple registration and were included in the government's yellow registration.

In Jiankang City, only temples that have obtained "licensing" can carry out "business activities" of qualifying and borrowing. However, "businesses" such as counter-travel and commissions do not require special "license".

The effect of inspecting the temple seems good at first, but a large number of monks and nuns who have returned to secular life need to be resettled. Some people can go home to reunite with their relatives, but some people are homeless.

Or, although some people have families and relatives, they don’t want to go back. Therefore, how to resettle these monks and nuns to return to secular life is a problem that must be handled carefully.

The government has taken many measures to this end, one of which is to organize these monks and nuns who returned to secular life to work in various workshops in Jiankang, and transform them into workers who are responsible for food and accommodation, and engage in handicraft labor.

If you have a place to live and have something to do, you can rely on serious work to support yourself.

And you won’t be left to wander on the streets and eventually become a beggar or starving person because you have nowhere to go.

In order to prevent bad people from abducting and trafficking monks and nuns as slaves or becoming slaves, Shaofu Temple assumed the supervision responsibility:

Regularly check the current situation of monks and nuns returning to the lay people, and no one is allowed to "move these precious labor for other purposes".

The reason why Shaofu Temple was led by the emperor was that the emperor wanted to take a large amount of labor released from the temple in his hands, expand the scale of Shaofu Temple's industry and improve profitability.

Jia Cheng climbed up a small building, looked at the large number of smoke around him, and looked at the tall brick chimneys, remembering what Li Li said.

"There are rumors that it was because I ordered the temple to be inspected, which angered the Buddha, so my mother died of illness. This is simply a joke!"

"The Buddha is so sensible and really angry. He will only come to settle the score with me and make things difficult for my mother!"

"The previous dynasty Emperor Wu, who had been vegetarian and chanting Buddha's name for decades, gave him much money to the Buddhist temple, and sacrificed himself to become a monk four times. Do you think you are pious or not? What's the result?"

"Don't talk about state affairs, even if the fish market collects filial pranks, they know that they have to do business after receiving money. The vendors pay filial pranks and are embarrassed by other sluts, they have to stand out!"

"What's the result? Jiankang's Buddhist temple takes money and does not help people to eliminate disasters. Hou Jing makes trouble and they cannot protect themselves. What's this? Tell me, what's going on?"

Jia Cheng didn't know how to answer at that time because he believed in Buddhism, and Li Li's answer was: "The reason is very simple. There are too many people who have entered Buddhism to cheat food and drink!"

"Some people shave their heads, put on monk's robes, and recite 'Amitabha', but what did they do?"

"I know nothing about Buddhist scriptures, and I am very proficient in lending money and doing business. Is this called becoming a monk?"

"There are so many good lands, but they don't pay rent and many servants to serve them. They live a comfortable life than many manor owners!"

"So, I'm sorry to Buddha if I don't clean up these scums!"

"Of course, many people have entered Buddhism because they are desperate and cannot survive. Such people are not bad people, but poor people. We cannot just drive them out of the temple, but also give them a way out."

"Why do people want to become monks? Except for a few people who pursue Buddhist principles, most of the others have gone to ordained to become monks because they are not living well and have no way out?"

When Jia Cheng thought of this, he looked back at the busy "hair hair" men and women in the glass workshop, and felt full of confidence.
