Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"We can use it as capital, and you don't need each of you to pay more. It is enough to give each of you 100 taels of gold."

"..."

Abbot Jingfa's eyes twitched, "Zhang Shaoyin, even if you sell the poor monk's temple, you won't be able to sell it for so much money."

Zhang Dun said patiently: "You can do it."

"..."

Abbot Jingfa had blue veins on his forehead, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but he endured it and said, "No matter how you do it, you can't get so much!"

Zhang Dun pondered: "If you're like this, you only need to get five hundred guan each."

"The remaining [-] guan, we three imperial envoys will lend you!"

Liu Wuzi smiled bitterly: "That's too much, we can't borrow it..."

They are monks, relying on the incense money sent by others.

Every penny is useful, and it is not so easy to free it up.

Zhang Dun said in a meaningful tone: "What do you borrow? Go and ask for it!"

"want?"

Jingfa and Liu Wuzi asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhang Dun showed a kind smile, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and gave them advice:

"Hedong told about natural disasters. Buddha and Lu Zu didn't tell you a word, asking you to find a way to help the victims?"

Abbot Jingfa shook his head and said, "How could the Buddha say this to the poor monk?"

Liu Wuzi also shook his head, "Lu Zu is even more impossible."

Zhang Dun looked at the two with deep eyes, and said: "Actually, I came to Hebei Road this time, and it was also a road pointed out to me by Buddha and Lu Zu. Why don't I choose other temples and Taoist temples, I have to choose you of?"

Because in Guixiang County, our temples and Taoist temples are the most famous.

Jingfa and Liu Wuzi were talking silently in their hearts, but they didn't say a word on the surface, listening to Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun said seriously: "Are you thinking, because your temple is the most famous? Wrong, in fact, it is because Buddha and Lu Zu asked me to come here, and let me bring you a message!"

Jingfa subconsciously said: "What did Buddha and Lu Zu say?"

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking."

Liu Wuzi thought for a while, his eyes became brighter, "Poverty understands."

"..."

You understand, the poor monk doesn't understand!

The corners of Abbot Jingfa's mouth twitched and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, don't lie to the poor monk, the Buddha also said this? Isn't this a Taoist saying?"

Zhang Dun sighed, "Master Jingfa, do you have to let me translate for you?"

"..."

Abbot Jingfa was silent for a few seconds, he still couldn't understand what he said.

What Zhang Dun meant was to ask them to find a solution from the local wealthy businessmen!

Although I was very uncomfortable, but when I thought of what Zhang Dun said just now, I was very unwilling to give up.

Abbot Jingfa was silent for a long time, bowed his head and clasped his hands together:

"Amitabha, it's all for the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road. The poor monk knows what to do."

Chapter 276

"The poor monk resigns."

"Pindao retire."

Abbot Jingfa clasped his hands together, Wuzi Liu also bowed in salute, and then they turned and left.

Zhang Dun, Changsun Wuji, and Du Yan sent them away from the Weizhou Governor's Mansion together.

Standing at the gate of the mansion, looking at their leaving backs, Changsun Wuji clicked his tongue and said:

"Zhang Shaoyin, if you ask these two monks to help you, it's fine if you don't give incense money now, but if you ask them to pay, aren't you afraid of their chilling?"

Zhang Dun glanced at him, pinched his nose and said with a dry smile, "Elder Grandson, are you teasing me? You should be able to see what they think."

Changsun Wuji chuckled.

He couldn't see how Zhang Dun's actions would chill the hearts of Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Liu Wuzi, and it was too late for them to be happy.

Changsun Wuji believed it.

After Zhang Dun said those words, Jingfa and Liu Wuzi would definitely not want his incense money.

After all, incense money is only worth a few dollars.

100 taels of gold?

Six hundred guan is indeed a lot of money, but once they really accept it, it will really be a one-shot deal.

The bamboo utensils transported later will not pass through their temples and Taoist temples.

It also means that they can no longer get anything from the bamboo equipment transported from Hedong Road.

But once they don't want Zhang Dun's incense money and choose to pay for "shares", the result will be very different.

At that time, they will not only gain fame, but also gain profits.

How to choose, as long as people are not stupid, they will choose the latter.

Changsun Wuji put his hands behind his back, looked at the ox carts parked outside the gate of the house, squinted his eyes and said, "It's not too bad to come out this time."

"If the disaster victims in Hedong Road know that we brought so much money back, I'm afraid they will be very happy."

Du Yan asked, "When shall we go back?"

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, let's set off as soon as the money from Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Liu Wuzi arrives tomorrow."

The two nodded slightly, and set off tomorrow. It will take almost half a month to arrive in the territory of Hedong Road.

Back and forth, one month.

Zhang Dun also sighed, if it were placed in modern times, where would it take so long to go back and forth.

Trains, bullet trains, high-speed rails, automobiles... all kinds of transportation are faster than bullock carts.

Come in the morning and be there by noon.

And along the way, Zhang Dun also has a personal experience of Datang's traffic arteries.

Although there is an official road now, the official road is completely incomparable with the modern asphalt road.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. How reasonable!

----

At this time, Jingfa and Liu Wuzi walked back on the way back from the Weizhou General Manager's Mansion in silence.

Wuzi Liu said in a low voice: "Abbot Jingfa, Zhang Shaoyin told us to get money, do you think we can get it?"

"If you can't get it, you have to get it."

Jingfa took a look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Daoist Liu, whether your Taoist temples and poor monk's temples can be famous in the world depends on this one time."

"It's true that Zhang Shaoyin asked us to pay, but he also gave you and me a great opportunity. If you didn't help the three imperial envoys this time, this great opportunity would not fall on you and me."

Liu Wuzi smiled wryly, he didn't know this truth, "But how do you get the money?"

The truth is the truth, but where does the money come from?

They are monks, and they are different from merchants, who can make money by exchanging what they have. As a Taoist priest, he guards an acre of land in a Taoist temple, and it is impossible for him to get a lot of money.

Wuzi Liu sighed, "To tell you the truth, poor temples don't get so much incense money in a year."

Jingfa said solemnly: "Didn't Zhang Shaoyin say it, let's go to those wealthy merchants to ask for it."

"As for whether you want it or not, it's up to you and me."

"The poor monk resigns."

After finishing speaking, Jingfa clasped his hands together and walked quickly towards the temple.

"Looking for a wealthy merchant..."

Wuzi Liu stood on the spot, muttering to himself a few times, his eyes shining with determination.

Abbot Jingfa is right, this is a great opportunity Zhang Shaoyin gave them, if they can't grasp it, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

So, no matter what method you use, you have to get money!

----

In the early morning of the next day, Jingfa and Liu Wuzi did not disappoint Zhang Dun, and they sent money.

The money sent surprised Zhang Dun.

Not only him, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji were also taken aback.

Looking at the two ox carts they pulled, there were boxes full of copper coins on them, Du Yan clicked his tongue and said, "There are really [-] coins?"

"Are you selling the temples and Taoist temples?"

Abbot Jingfa smiled and said, "A poor monk can't do that kind of thing."

"The poor monk is just following what Zhang Shaoyin said, asking those rich merchants for money."

"Those rich merchants gave the poor monk some face."

Changsun Wuji asked curiously, "That's not enough to give so much."

Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi looked at him quietly.

Yes, ordinary Huazhai, how could it be possible to give so much money.

Wasn't it because he brought the entire temple people to their mansion, and it took him a whole day, plus agreeing to the conditions of those wealthy merchants, that the other party was willing to give them money.

Zhang Dun smiled, knowing that they had put in a lot of hard work after returning yesterday, he cupped his hands and said, "Abbot Jingfa, Taoist Master Liu Wuzi, you have worked hard too."

"I Zhang Dun spat and nailed, and the bamboo utensils from Hedong Road will pass through your hands in the future."

"When the next batch of bamboo tools is ready, I will have someone notify you in advance. When the time comes, you will be like this, like this..."

As he spoke, he called the two of them to his side and whispered in their ears.

"good idea!"

After a long time, the eyes of Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Liu Wuzi lit up, and they said in unison.

Abbot Jingfa said solemnly: "Thank you Zhang Shaoyin for your guidance, the poor monk will remember it."

"When the things arrive, the poor monk must do what Zhang Shaoyin said!"

Zhang Dun nodded with a smile, exchanged pleasantries with them for a while, and then talked to Lin Changshi for half an hour.

The three of them got into the carriage, and under the escort of the soldiers led by Han Xing and Wang Feng, they headed towards the direction of Hedong Road.

On the carriage, Du Yan asked curiously: "Zhang Shaoyin, what did you tell them?"

Changsun Wuji also looked at him curiously.

Zhang Dun coughed lightly, and said: "It's nothing, just let them bring monks and Taoist priests to prepare early when the next batch of bamboo tools is about to arrive, so as to make the consecration scene bigger."

"In that case, won't people who buy it believe it even more?"

Du Yan gave a thumbs up and said, "Your talent in business really impresses the old man."

Zhang Dun smiled and said kindly: "Practice makes perfect."

After all, before time-traveling, I had done a lot of things like this.

Lifting the curtain of the car, looking at the scenery outside the carriage, Zhang Dun thought of the East Road hundreds of miles away, and exhaled slowly.

A long way to go.
