Datang romantic little landlord

The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that they were busy for a long time and ended up doing useless work?

If things are as the monk said, even if they have five surnames and seven wangs, it will be difficult to get any benefit from it. It is impossible to snatch food from the mouth of Buddha.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanshou and the others no longer doubted the authenticity of the gold mine, but felt more and more uncomfortable.There is such a huge piece of fat in front of you, but you can't eat it, it's really a hell.

Cheng Yaojin even looked furious by the monk's anger, and the Zhang knife in his hand was directly placed on the monk's neck.

"Vald donkey, how dare you bully someone! But do you think the knife in my hand is not fast enough?"

The monk closed his eyes tightly, chanted scriptures silently, and did not reply at all.

Zheng Yuanshou, Wang Renyou, Cui Xin and others looked at each other, feeling unwilling but helpless.They really don't know what to do when they meet a monk who is not afraid of death.

It would be easy to kill this monk and his disciple, but in this way, the temple property of Xingguo Temple will become the joint ownership of the several big temples in Chang'an City, let alone gain any benefits from it.

Li Wangyou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Uncle Cheng, if you have something to say, don't scare Master."

Li Wangyou stepped forward and pulled Cheng Yaojin away, and bowed to the monk again: "Master Zhengdao, don't you know these masters? Let me introduce you, except for this Lu Guogong, these few gentlemen They are the Patriarchs of Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Taiyuan Wang, Xingyang Zheng."

Li Wangyou pointed to Zheng Yuanshou and others, and continued to persuade: "Master, you are a monk, so why did you offend Lu Guogong, Zheng Gong, and Cui Gong for no reason because of these fools? Does the master think that he can guard How can you live a good life in this gold mine? Why do you bother to offend so many people for the things outside your body?"

The monk looked up at Li Wangyou, opened his mouth, but just chanted a Buddhist name, and remained silent.

Zheng Yuanshou and the others watched anxiously, and secretly cursed this monk in their hearts, he was like a stone in the latrine, smelly and hard.

Li Wangyou's face also showed a bit of impatience: "Master, I respect you as a monk, so I persuade you so kindly. Could it be that the master really wants money and life? For a little gold, even the lives of himself and his disciples Ignore it? Buddhists should avoid greed, why is the master so greedy? This is not what monks do."

Hearing what Li Wangyou said, the monk sighed and said, "Amitabha, it's not that the poor are greedy for that kind of gold. You nobles don't know that the poor monk was a monk in this Xingguo Temple back then. It’s just asking for a bowl of porridge, money and the poor monk are just floating clouds. Whether it is the poor monk or the old abbot, they never thought of touching the gold mine.”

Cheng Yaojin spat: "Hey, don't say such nonsense, if you don't have any greed, why did you start digging gold mines with your disciple in a hurry after taking over this Xingguo Temple? I can find out clearly , In the past half a month, you bald donkey have sold at least [-] guan worth of gold in Chang'an City! Does this mean you have no greed?"

Zheng Yuanshou, Zheng Shanguo, Cui Xin, Wang Renyou and other aristocratic family members felt greatly stimulated when they heard the news. The output of the gold mine was far more than they expected!

Relying on the monk and his disciples alone, it took more than half a month to produce more than 2000 gold worth of gold.Even if the piece of dog's head gold sold to the Zheng family is removed, there will be at least 100 taels of gold output, how terrifying?

If there are enough craftsmen, doesn't that mean that it is easy for this gold mine to produce several thousand taels of gold a month?

All the people were waiting, and they looked at the monk even more unkindly.

Zheng Yuanshou couldn't help but threateningly said: "Master, are you really not afraid of death? But Master doesn't know that there are probably many things in this world that are more terrifying than death!"

He also thought the same way in his heart, if the monk really refused to let go, he might have to be arrested.Let the trilogy be tortured, and I don't believe Miki, this monk still refuses to sign and pledge to sell the gold mine.

The monk was unmoved at all: "Amitabha, the poor monk said that if the nobles want this stinky skin, just take it. The poor monk and his disciples excavated the gold mine not for greed, but just to raise money. Gold, repair the Xingguo Temple, and recast the golden body of Buddha for me."

Hearing what the monk said, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help laughing and said: "Monk, it's a simple matter. If that's the case, you sell the gold mine to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will pay you to recast the Buddha's golden body. Gold-plated Buddha statues are nothing."

The Taoist monk heard the words, but lowered his eyes slightly: "Amitabha, noble man, the poor monk made a great wish in front of the Buddha, to recast the golden body of the Buddha, but it is not the gold-plated Buddha statue, but the pure gold cast Buddha. Golden body."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

Nima, the golden body of Buddha in pure gold?

Li Wangyou and the others couldn't help raising their heads, looked at the slightly dilapidated clay statue of Buddha in the Daxiong Palace, and each estimated in their hearts how much gold such a golden body of Buddha would need...

At least one million taels of gold, one hundred thousand catties!This is a rough estimate made by everyone.

This number shocked everyone, it was an unimaginably huge number.Even with the family's thousands of years of accumulation, taking out 10 taels of gold would have emptied the family, not to mention a million taels.

In fact, China has a lot of gold reserves since ancient times. According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded General Wei Qing with 20 catties of gold at a time; Wang Mang married the queen in his later years and used 70 catties of gold; Just over [-] catties...

But China has had the habit of burials since ancient times. It is recorded in "Book of Jin" that "the emperor of the Han Dynasty built a mausoleum one year after he ascended the throne, and the world's tribute is one-third. One is for the ancestral temple, one is for the guests, and the other is for the mountain mausoleum."

One-third of the country's finances have allowed an emperor to be buried underground, and for thousands of years, I don't know how many emperors and scholar-bureaucrats have brought countless gold into the mausoleum.

Therefore, in the Tang and Song Dynasties in Chinese history, gold has become less and less.

One million taels of gold is not without it, but it is also an extremely huge number.

Zheng Yuanshou couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Monk, your joke is really interesting. How dare you think about casting a golden body of Buddha with a million taels of gold."

The monk Zhengdao shook his head: "It's not impossible. The old abbot and I have found out many years ago that the gold reserves behind the temple are astonishing. How can it not be possible for the Buddha to cast a golden body, so this gold mine is absolutely not for sale, even if the nobles kill the poor monk. The several big temples in Chang'an City will naturally fulfill the ambition of the poor monk and cast a golden body for the Buddha. Enshrined in this Xingguo Temple."

What the monk said immediately made Zheng Yuanshou and others even more greedy. How amazing is the reserve of tens of millions of taels of gold?

690 Taking the Family as a Fool

Zheng Yuanshou and the others didn't doubt much about what the monk said.

After all, the gold ore taken out of the mine in the central part of their mansion is amazing.

Ordinary gold ore, two or three thousand catties may not be able to produce a tael of gold.And the ore behind the Xingguo Temple is indeed an extremely rare gold rich mine. According to the estimates of the craftsmen they found, a thousand catties of ore can produce one or two gold, which is very terrifying.

However, the area of ​​this stone mountain in Xingguo Temple is not small, and it is not uncommon to produce hundreds of millions of tons of gold ore. In this way, if it is said that there are tens of millions of taels of gold reserves, they will believe it.

But at this moment, in the face of this righteous monk who doesn't want to get in, the heads of the aristocratic families don't know what to do. For a while, there was a stalemate in the Daxiong Palace.

The people were absolutely unwilling to stop here, but if they wanted to continue to seize the gold mine, they would not know how to operate it for a while, which stumped everyone.

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes and asked, "Master, even if I leave today, have you ever thought about how long it will take for you and your disciples to mine this gold slowly? The Buddha cast a golden body? Even if you master and apprentice work tirelessly, can you mine a thousand catties of gold a year? One hundred thousand catties of gold, hehe, I am afraid that even if the master digs to death, he will not be able to gather so much gold, right?"

"This..." The monk hesitated when he heard the words, as if he didn't expect Li Wangyou to say such a thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Cheng Yaojin stared again: "You bald donkey, didn't you just say that you only want to cast a golden body for the Buddha? Why are you so hesitant now?"

"Amitabha!" The monk recited a Buddha's name in a low voice: "Forget it, if you nobles are willing to pay for the repair of this Xingguo Temple, and then cast a golden body for my Buddha, then the gold mine will be sold to you nobles, but it is not impossible. .”

What the monk said made Zheng Yuanshou and the others stunned... Take out [-] jin of gold and exchange it for gold mines for the monk?

If this gold mine really has tens of millions of taels of reserves, it seems that it is not impossible to exchange millions of taels of gold.

Although none of them could get out so much gold, it seemed not impossible for everyone to gather together.

However, Zheng Yuanshou, an old fox, suddenly felt that something was wrong.When he thought about the incident carefully, he felt more and more strange, and there were too many coincidences in it.

How could it be such a coincidence that all of their five surnames and Qiwang discovered the existence of gold mines?All gathered here again today... The more Zheng Yuanshou thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not serious.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, what kind of gold mine is this, maybe it's fake?

What kind of monk disciples went to sell dog head gold and gold sand, could it be to lure their five surnames and Qiwang to Xingguo Temple, and then Li Wangyou, a bastard, Cheng Yaojin, and this monk, performed a play for them Look, the purpose is to defraud one hundred thousand catties of gold from their family?

The more Zheng Yuanshou thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and consciously saw through everything, a smile could not help but emerge from the corner of his mouth.

Interesting, they actually tricked their aristocratic family.

"Hehe, master, don't be kidding me. One hundred thousand catties of gold, even if we emptied our five surnames Qiwang's family, we can't make up that much gold. What's more, what kind of gold mine? Can it be worth one hundred thousand catties of gold?" Zheng Yuanshou Consciously seeing through the conspiracy, he couldn't help laughing.

Is this kid surnamed Li really taking their family as a fool?
