After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Censor Yuan was an honest official, and the salary he received from the court was not high. Even when he was the Prime Minister, his salary was only more than three hundred taels a year.

With the rewards from the palace and her years of hard work, her family had accumulated a fortune of 30,000 taels.

However, the expenses were also high. The time when Censor Yuan was imprisoned cost 20,000 taels.

Over the past few decades, the total amount of property that came in and out of the mansion was no more than 6,000 taels.

But this includes the dowry prepared for Mo Niang, the property to be left to the illegitimate son, and the daily expenses of the mansion.

All she could use were the approximately three hundred taels of cash and jewelry she had in her hands.

When she got home, she was always frowning.

After pondering it all night, he still didn't give up. He used one-third of his private property to purchase a set of offerings with all five elements, and went to Cihang Temple early the next morning.

She didn't arrive too late, but when she arrived outside the temple, there were already several carriages parked in the parking space.

After entering Cihang Temple and paying homage all the way to the outside of the main hall, I saw two middle-aged women in rich clothes surrounding Taoist Huiyun and showing their courtesy.

"Master, this is my VIP ID card for Taibai Tower. I can order three tables of high-quality meals every month without paying a penny!"

"It's not worth much, but you must accept it. I heard that you can go into the city during your monthly holiday. Then you can bring the other Taoist priests to our Taibai Tower, have a feast, and listen to some music to relax!"

Another noble lady was not to be outdone:

"Master, my family sells cloth. We don't have much of anything else but cloth. These cloths are not worth much, so I'll give them to you masters to make some new clothes!"

Old Madam Yuan looked at the man and saw that the so-called worthless cloth included five pieces of high-quality Hangzhou silk, each weighing more than thirty taels, in addition to the fine cotton cloth.

There were more than twenty pieces of cloth in total, carried on shoulder poles by four strong maids, two people in a group.

What these two people provided was a VIP card for Taibai Tower, which required spending more than three thousand taels of silver at Taibai Tower every year.

The cloth given by another noble lady was also worth at least one or two hundred taels.

Taoist Master Huiyun refused without hesitation:

"This is against the rules. Please take it back. We will not accept anything other than the prescribed offerings."

The two of them couldn't help but look a little depressed.

One of them couldn't help but said quickly:

"Then the Qin family sent it..."

Huiyun smiled slightly and said:

"The Qin family has won the favor of the master, so they are naturally incomparable with other families."

There was envy in the eyes of the two men, but they had to give up and said that they would send more valuable offerings next time.

Huiyun saw Old Madam Yuan nearby, so she sent the two wives of wealthy merchants away.

"Mrs. Yuan!"

Huiyun bowed politely.

"Master Huiyun, I come here to pay my respects and offer my tribute."

Mrs. Yuan said.

"plz follow me."

Under the guidance of Taoist Master Huiyun, Old Madam Yuan entered the main hall.

At a glance, you can see that several tables have been added next to the table where the offerings are placed.

It is said that the offerings made by the believers should be placed in front of the statue for three days.

Today, there are a total of twelve trays of offerings placed on it.

The items on each plate included several ten-liang gold ingots, top-quality jade carvings, and fine tea. The total value was no less than five hundred liang.

In comparison, Old Madam Yuan suddenly felt that the more than one hundred taels of precious offerings she had spent so much effort to purchase were totally worthy of presentation.

"This……"

She looked a little embarrassed.

Huiyun, who was standing by, seemed not to notice and said in annoyance:

"Alas, I don't know who spread the news about the master's ability. In recent days, many ladies have come to the temple, saying that they want to become devout believers in the temple."

Of course, this “unknown person” can only be a member of the Qin family.

It was not until a number of noble ladies suddenly came to the temple that Huiyun realized that the abbot had another purpose for suddenly using so much divine power on Madam Qin's face.

The temple master has laid such a thorough groundwork, so naturally she will do her best to provoke Old Madam Yuan.

"The master's divine power is so precious. There are so many people, and everyone wants the master to help. I can't arrange for all of them. It will be difficult in the future."

Madam Yuan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

The number of believers in Cihang Temple is increasing.

The master's divine power is precious, and it will become increasingly difficult to ask her to take action in the future.

Although Taoist Priest Huiyun said last time that the abbot looked at their sincerity, she had never seen any ordinary pilgrims in the two times she came to Cihang Temple. All of them were either rich or noble.

It can be seen that this opportunity for the master of the temple to take action is also available to those who are capable.

Faced with the absolute disparity in the value of offerings, how could she demonstrate her sincerity and outdo those followers of wealthy businessmen?
