Great Wei Nengchen

………………………………………………………………………

Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looks at Yumen Pass.

The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and it will never be returned if it does not break through the Western Regions!

Xiao Yi seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked Cao Zhang to sit beside him, and told him about his experience in commanding troops, running an army, and fighting wars. Different troops must use different methods in command, and they must not stick to the rules!

He also talked about the mission of the Gluttonous Army, expedition thousands of miles away, to break the siege of Ershi City, to pacify the 36 countries in the Western Regions...to expand the territory for the country, and to establish such feats as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing!

"Explore the frontiers and expand the land, make contributions...to be accompanied by beautiful women, you are so happy!"

Cao Zhang's goal in life is to emulate Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, lead hundreds of thousands of athletes, gallop across the desert, expel the Yi and Di tribes, and make great achievements in battle... The opportunity is right in front of you, how can you miss it!

What's more, the beauties around me are also going to the battlefields of the Western Regions. If I accompany them on the expedition and get along day and night, why not worry about being close to the water?

"Ziwen is full of energy and blood, and it is time to make contributions. You must not waste your youth. If you have any difficulties, your brother-in-law will help you!"

"Thank you brother-in-law!"

Seeing that Cao Zhang's blood was boiling, Xiao Yi gave a few words of encouragement, and then called together a group of generals and schools to discuss the matter of the Western Expedition. The journey of thousands of miles, the sky full of yellow sand, must be fully prepared, and the morale of the army is a big problem!

In fact, Xiao Yi understands that whether it is killing or rewarding, it can only temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. After a long time in the station, these villains will still make trouble. Boredom is far more terrifying than death!

The only way is to launch the Western Expedition as soon as possible, send these vicious people to the battlefields of the Western Regions, murder and set fire, lawlessness, and turn the scum who harmed the country into a sharp sword to expand the territory!

Then again, before the army moves, food and grass go first. If you want to equip tens of thousands of villains, you need a lot of ordnance, horses, food, tents, medicinal materials... In the final analysis, you need money, and the money and food in the treasury are all used. Save the people!

"According to the calculations, the two-month deadline has come. Let Wu Zhi start to collect the debts. I don't care about the means, methods, and proportions. Even if the monks are forced to jump into the well, they have to get the money and grain together!"

"promise!"

Chapter 1405 Rolling interest, turning over the account

Tianyi Temple - In the lobby, Monk Shenguang is wearing cassock and sitting in the middle, and there are more than [-] high-level monks, such as the head seat, hall master, supervisor, and governor, sitting on both sides, each with a big bald head is brighter than the other , and each face is more distressed than the other!

It turned out that the monks gathered together were not holding religious ceremonies or comprehending Zen, but were taking stock of the monastery's property. There were also more than a dozen young monks who were making calculations and looking through the account books in the hall...

"On the seventh day of this month, a grand Buddhist event will be held. The income will be 360 ​​taels of gold, and the purchase of valuables such as incense candles, lamp oil, and gold powder will cost 250 taels of gold..."

"On the thirteenth day of this month, 650% of the rent and tax will be charged on all the fields belonging to the temple. After the grain, dried fruit, cattle and sheep are sold, a total of [-] gold will be obtained!"

"Another 530 tenants refused to pay the land rent to the temple, tore up the lease contract, and injured six rent-collecting monks, one of whom was disabled..."

The young novice monks calculated carefully, and every time they calculated an account book, they would hand it over to the lobby. After the senior monks read it, their complexions became even worse. I didn't expect that Tianyi Temple, which is rich and rich, would be so depressed!

Before buying glazed Buddha statues and leasing relics, I borrowed a total of 13 taels of gold, with an agreed interest of 8000%. Thousands of 140 four gold... If you don't pay back the interest, it will skyrocket!

I originally wanted to use the glass Buddha statues and relics as a call to hold several grand Buddhist events, so that believers can donate more money and materials, so that they can easily repay the loan. Unexpectedly, things went against their wishes. Seven or eight Buddhist events were held, and the income was pitiful. Woolen cloth!

One is the sudden flood of glazed Buddha statues. There are hundreds of temples inside and outside the city. There are as few as one or two statues and as many as five or six statues.

The second is that the dignitaries of the imperial court no longer want to make offerings to temples or come to worship Buddha. Monk Shenguang visited many times, but they were all shut down.

As a result, after more than two months of busy work, Tianyi Temple only received more than 6000 gold, excluding Buddhist service fees and daily expenses... only more than 1000 gold was left, let alone repaying the loan, and even the negative interest was not enough. Those with the highest income, some small temples simply cannot make ends meet.

In desperation, the monk Shenguang could only order that the shops and fields under the temple should increase the rent and taxes in one fell swoop, and raised more than 2000 gold, but this aroused great dissatisfaction among the tenants. Some refused to pay the rent, and some Some directly retreated from the field, and even fought with the rent-collecting monk.

What's even more frightening is that the monastery's violent expropriation has caused the reputation of the Buddhist school to plummet, and many adherents have left one after another. Some people even wrote a verse, saying what...

Kneeling in front of the Buddha for 3000 years, I have not seen my Buddha's heart feel pity, and the dust covers the Buddha's eyes. It turns out that I have not invested incense money.

Buddha is not greedy for money?Why is it worshiped by the world?

Buddha is not evil?Why can't the world tolerate a little disrespect for him?

………………

We pay respects, offer incense, and pray for disasters to come!

But the Buddha said that people in the world have many lives, they are predestined, and God's will cannot be violated!

So, what's the use of waiting?

This gatha is easy to understand and catchy, and it quickly became popular in the streets and alleys. No matter men, women, young or old, whether they can read or not, they can shake their heads and recite a few sentences, which makes Buddhism ironic to the bone!

The monks are full of smoke, but they have no countermeasures. They can only curse the editor and continue to search for money. Anyway, they have torn off their face, so they can simply throw it on the ground!

There is no way to do this. In order to buy glazed Buddha statues, the money banks of all temples are empty. Even if the loan money is not repaid, the monks have to eat and dress, and the Buddha statues have to be worshipped. Where did the money come from? Loot the believers!

"Everything should be done according to one's ability. Buying glazed Buddha statues and renting relics is really too much for Meng Lang!"

"With all the temple properties as collateral, if we still can't get the loan, what should we do? Are we willing to be the sinners who destroyed the temple?"

"I heard that Tianyin Temple outside the city didn't buy glazed Buddha statues. Now everything is running normally. It seems that the old monk has a long-term vision!"

………………

In the face of a huge crisis, the monks talked a lot, complained lamentably, or pointed at Sang Huai, all pointing their target at the monk Shenguang, thinking that he was so powerful that he made Tianyi Temple fall into trouble!

In addition, after Yixiu's presidency passed away, the monk Yijie who should have succeeded was the monk Shenguang who secretly used tricks to steal the presiding position.

Facing the accusations of the monks, the monk Shenguang felt as if he had been blamed, but he could not shirk his responsibility. He was the one who bought the glazed Buddha statue, and he was the one who rented the relics, so he had to bear the blame.

In fact, after the auction ended, Monk Shenguang regretted it. He tapped his hand several times with a mallet, hating himself for raising his hand impulsively and why he signed the loan agreement. He really lost his head!

If you want to return the glazed Buddha statues and relics, it is easy to invite the Buddha and difficult to send the Buddha away. One is to worry about being ridiculed and losing face at Tianyi Temple, and it is difficult to secure your position as the presiding officer.

The second is that the gate of Wanbao Building is closed, and no refund will be given for the sold goods. If the goods are returned by force, double liquidated damages will be charged!

I intend to transfer it out and turn around the money, but recently, a large number of glazed vessels have been listed on the market, and there are several pieces in the houses of powerful people and temples, but the price has been falling all the way, and I will lose money if I sell it!

People need face, trees need bark, and Shen Guang was about to argue a few words, at least to save some face, when a little novice came rushing to report an important message: "Wu Zhi came to collect debts!"

"The debt collector came to the door, what should I do? I heard that this person is cruel and ruthless, and he is even more unscrupulous in demanding debts. He occupies fields, closes stores, and moves things... The mud Buddha squeezes out oil, and people give him the nickname: The sky is three feet high !"

"I heard that Luoxia Temple - Guyun's presiding officer, was forced too quickly by this person, and committed suicide. All the property of the temple was also confiscated, and the monks were used as labor labor. When is there enough money, when will the person be released, but Under the profit and loss, ten lifetimes will not be clear!"

………………

The monks are all crazy, not because they are timid, but because Wu Zhi is too terrifying. The so-called "heaven is three feet high" means that this person is so strong that he scrapes the ground three feet deep!

Moreover, the monk has also heard that the imperial court has formed a gluttonous army, preparing to go to the Western Regions for the second time, and all the money collected will be used for military pay. Even if they are brave enough, they dare not default on the imperial court's money, they will kill their heads !

"Haha, it's really a sin, a sin, to disturb the masters' clean-up, but the army is about to go to war, and money and food are urgently needed, so the officials can only come to the door brazenly!

Besides, the Tianyi Temple family has a great career, and a little gold should be nothing to worry about. I hope all the eminent monks will show mercy and let the officials go back so that they can do business! "

Amid hearty laughter, Wu Zhi slowly stepped into the Buddhist hall, wearing a long tasseled crown on his head, a green silk robe, and a silver seal and green ribbon on his waist, completely dressed like a big man's school captain!
