If you want to build the infrastructure of Hong Kong, you naturally need a large number of manpower. However, now all parts of Lingnan are reclaiming land and there is a shortage of manpower. It is not easy to find a large number of manpower.

Li Xian frowned and thought for a while, then suggested, "Maybe we can recruit people from the Central Plains to come over to work, at most we can just pay them a little higher."

Li Xian smiled and said, "Since the wages are high, why bother to just recruit people locally?"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "It is definitely not possible to recruit people locally. After all, the wages here are already so high. If we raise the wages again, it will definitely cause complaints from the noble families and merchants. Although we are not afraid, it is not good after all."

Xiao Yuehua curled her lips and said, "In fact, we don't need so many people. Even if we want to open up Nanyang, we have to do it step by step. The docks and roads are ready. We just need to build some large warehouses first, and the rest can be done slowly.

After all, people won’t all flock to Hong Kong all at once. We can just build some infrastructure and sell some land to them to build houses. Even if something unexpected happens, we won’t lose money.”

Li Xian nodded and said with a smile: "You can take your time. If you don't need many people, just ask Third Senior Brother to assign them."

There were not enough stone benches to sit on, so the eunuchs brought in brocade stools, and the little ones sat down obediently to listen to the lecture.

Lingnan is not like the north where there are plains everywhere. If you want to build a city, planning is of paramount importance.

Several little guys bowed and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Master Huineng."

The three older ones understood some of it, Xiao Yuehua leaned on Wang Zheng with a confused look on her face, Li Dan yawned, Li Zhi frowned, and Huineng stopped.

Li Zhi patted them with his hand and said with a smile, "Sit down, Master Huineng is an enlightened monk, it's a good opportunity for you to listen to some Buddhist teachings. Although your master doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still admires some Buddhist teachings."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Come over here and meet this Master Huineng."

Li Xian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Third Senior Brother, can't you find someone to help us make a plan?"

Zilu saved people without asking for anything in return, which was also Zilu's good intention, but since others gave him something in return, Zilu should have accepted it. The two are not contradictory. "

Li Zhi asked Li Xian and the other two, "Do you understand?"

Li Dan swallowed, pulled Xiao Yuehua's sleeve and said, "Senior Sister, I want to drink coconut juice too."

He smiled at them and said, "Have you figured it out? Believe me, the cost of Baoan City is not based on your little money, right?"

Several little guys saluted.

Monk Huineng quickly stood up and returned the greeting, "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the two princes, and the two young donors."

In other words, a bodhisattva must get rid of the self-image, the image of others, the image of sentient beings, and the image of the living being. If he does not get rid of them, he is not a true bodhisattva. "

"If bodhisattvas and great bodhisattvas want to achieve peace of mind and body, they must first cultivate merit and save countless sentient beings. Although they have saved countless sentient beings, they must not retain the concept of "I have saved sentient beings" in their hearts.

Xiao Yuehua directly took a large coconut from the coffee table and placed it in front of her. She took out a small golden hammer and knocked a small hole in it. After inserting it into the bamboo tube, she took a sip and rolled her eyes at Wang Zhen. She said, "Third Senior Brother, you are stingy. Li Xian just said it casually. Why did you remember it for so long?"

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Tell me what you are here for. Be direct. I am busy here."

Li Zhi made a gesture of invitation, and Huineng continued to preach.

Xiao Yuehua shook her head and Wang Zheng didn't care.

Huineng bowed eleven times to Li Xian and said happily, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent."

Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "I was the one who planned Baoan New City. Now I don't have the time. You should figure it out on your own, or you can ask Mr. for help."

Then the little guys ran to find Wang Zheng again. As soon as they entered Wang Zheng's villa, they saw Li Zhi was there too, and a thin monk who was about thirty years old. The three of them were sitting at a stone table and chatting.

Li Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Master, what you mean is that after doing good deeds, you should not have the thought that you have done good deeds. If you have the thought of doing good deeds, you are not a true Bodhisattva."

"Ping An and Yue Hua greet His Majesty, father and daddy."

"Since you don't need much, it's no problem." Wang Zhen nodded and continued, "How about this, I'll let Fang Zhao bring 500 craftsmen and 1,000 laborers to help you, but you have to pay for the wages yourself."

Wang Zheng smiled and asked Xiao Yuehua, "Do you understand?"

Then the little guys ran to find Wang Zhen, who had someone serve them tea.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. I greet you, sir."

Li Xian nodded and said with a smile: "This is what I should do."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded.

Huineng thought about it and smiled, "It is indeed not the same thing, but both are right. Bodhisattvas do good deeds without keeping them in mind. This is just the self-virtue of Bodhisattvas. If the person who received the charity repays the Bodhisattva himself, the Bodhisattva will not refuse.

A few of the little guys still frowned.

Wang Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys can first find someone to make the plan, and bring the required amount of land to me for approval. Then, for the rest, you can communicate with Fang Zhao."

After Wang Pingan briefly explained their plans, he said directly: "We need manpower, and would like to ask Third Senior Brother to dispatch some."

Li Xian frowned and asked, "But Zilu saved people without asking for anything in return, yet he was punished by Confucius. This doesn't seem to be consistent with Master's teachings, does it?"

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "The kindness of the Buddha is suitable for everyone, but the way of the Buddha is not suitable for young people. After all, the pursuit of fame and fortune should be the goal of young people. If young people are indifferent to fame and fortune, life may become boring."

Huineng pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands together and bowed to Wang Zheng, saying, "Great Steward, that is a good idea."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does the chief steward mean that it is more appropriate to learn Buddhism in old age?"

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "In fact, I think that it is enough to learn the knowledge of my Yuzhou school when you are young to broaden your horizons, and learn a little Confucianism to cultivate your character. When you are young and strong, you can study Confucianism and learn some principles of how to behave in the world.

When you are old and need to be less arrogant and less impatient, it is not too late to practice the Buddhist principles. After all, many of the great principles in Buddhism are not really applicable to the human world. "
