Datang romantic little landlord

One hundred thousand catties of gold, such a big appetite, he is not afraid of choking himself to death!

Zheng Yuanshou's words fell into the ears of Cui Xin, Wang Renyou and others, but they also tasted the taste. After thinking about it, these old foxes all felt that this matter was strange.

Why cast a golden body for the Buddha, what kind of bullshit reason is this?

Who in the world has heard of the use of one hundred thousand catties of gold to cast Buddha statues?

"Haha, Zheng Gong is right. Even if this gold mine is real, it would be outrageous to buy a hundred thousand catties of gold. In this world, who can afford it?"

"Monk, have you lost your mind? A gold mine sells [-] catties of gold, tsk tsk, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Zheng Yuanshou and the others spoke sarcastically, but unconsciously looked at Li Wangyou and Cheng Yaojin out of the corner of their eyes, everyone smiled, thinking that they and others had seen through Li Wangyou's conspiracy, let's see what else they had to say.

But Zheng Yuanshou and the others did not expect that the performance of Li Wangyou and Cheng Yaojin was completely different from what they had imagined.

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth and scolded directly: "You bald donkey, what are you daydreaming about? One hundred thousand catties of gold, why don't you grab it?"

Li Wangyou also burst into laughter: "Master, didn't you wake up? One hundred thousand catties of gold, you really dare to say it. Do you know how much one hundred thousand catties of gold is? Besides, even if you are willing, so much What’s more, if you take out so much gold and exchange it for a gold mine that doesn’t know how much it can produce, don’t you, master, think that we are all idiots?”

Li Wangyou and Cheng Yaojin's words made Zheng Yuanshou and the others startled again, why is this different from what they thought?

This little bastard surnamed Li actually directly expressed the doubts of everyone. Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with him?

Everyone couldn't help looking at the righteous monk again, wanting to see what he had to say.

The monk hesitated for a long time, as if he was considering the pros and cons of it, but he kept silent at the side. The disciple of the righteous monk, the man named Lin Yang, suddenly spoke.

"Master, the gold mine cannot be sold. This is the temple property left to the temple by the old abbot, how can it be sold?"

The monk let out a long sigh: "Hey, as a teacher, I don't know. But Huxian Bo is right, it depends on you and me, master and apprentice, when will we get enough gold to cast a golden body for the Buddha?"

Lin Yang said: "Master can borrow gold from nobles such as Lu Guogong and Huxian Bo. The gold mine is handed over to the nobles to dig. The gold that is unearthed belongs to them and is considered the principal. After producing [-] catties of gold and returning the principal, the nobles took [-]% of the remaining gold as the interest for borrowing gold, and [-]% went to the temple. The nobles of our Xingguo Temple also benefit from it, and the great wish you made, Master, can be realized, so everyone is happy?"

Zheng Yuanshou and the others did not think of his words, but after careful consideration, they seemed to make some sense.

On the other hand, Li Wangyou suddenly asked: "Borrowing gold? Even if you borrow a incense product kitchen in a temple, you must have collateral, right? The master doesn't know what he can use to mortgage the 1000 catties of gold? Hehe, I'm afraid Selling this Xingguo Temple is not worth [-] taels of gold, is it? Master don’t talk about the gold mine, who knows how much gold will be produced in the gold mine in the future? If it is not enough, we will lose everything ?”

Li Wangyou's words made Zheng Yuanshou and the others nod their heads one after another. This is exactly the reason.

But Lin Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "The nobles are confused. Isn't the gold that you lend to my master a mortgage? The gold is to be cast into a golden body of Buddha and placed in the Great Hall of Great Heroes. One hundred thousand catties Can a heavy Buddha statue still lose its legs and run away? If there is no output from the gold mine, the nobles will take the golden Buddha back and smelt it again, and the gold will be taken back?"

Lin Yang's words made Zheng Yuanshou and the others' eyes light up suddenly, as if, as if, that was indeed the case!

691 I Bought

Zheng Yuanshou felt that what the disciples said was very reasonable, if their family spent [-] catties of gold to buy gold mines, they would be taken advantage of.Who can guarantee how much gold the gold mine can produce?

But if the gold is lent to monks and cast into Buddha statues, the gold still belongs to their family.The gold mine can produce a large amount of gold, but they can dismantle the Buddha statues made of pure gold at any time and remelt them into gold ingots, which only consumes some fire consumption at most.

Wang Renyou twisted his beard and said with a smile: "This is a good way, but if you want to borrow gold, I will pay [-]% of the gold produced by the gold mine, and Xingguo Temple can only take [-]% at most!"

If it weren't for this monk being smelly and tough, and with the support of Buddhism behind him, even Wang Renyou wouldn't want to give [-]% of it.

The monk hadn't spoken yet, but Li Wangyou said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. We have to lend gold and recruit people to mine. Two cents is too much. In my opinion, ten percent is enough!"

Zheng Yuanshou and the others looked at each other, thinking that this bastard Li Wangyou was indeed worse than them, that the gold mine belonging to Xingguo Temple actually only gave [-]% of the income to others.Black, really black!

But Li Wangyou's words reached everyone's heart, and they all nodded in agreement: "The Huxian uncle is right, [-]% is too much, mining also has costs, and it costs a lot, Xingguo Temple is enough to collect [-]% of gold. "

Lin Yang was also dumbfounded. He proposed four or six points, which was already very reasonable. As a result, these noble people became more and more greedy than the other, and they only wanted to give them [-]% of the income from Xingguo Temple. It was really shameless.

He still wanted to argue with reason, but he heard the righteous monk recite the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Lin Yang, don't talk about it anymore. I don't care if it's gold or not. As a teacher, as long as I can cast a golden body for my Buddha, it will be fine once I succeed." [-]%."

The monk looked at the crowd again, bowed and said, "According to what the nobles said, as long as the nobles lend gold to the poor monk, the golden Buddha will be used as collateral after the gold Buddha is cast. If there is not enough gold in the gold mine Come out, and return the Golden Buddha to the nobles."

Zheng Yuanshou and the others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, there is no risk in this transaction, but the gold is transported to Xingguo Temple first.And with so much gold, they must send their family, Buqu, to Xingguo Temple to guard it closely to prevent the monks from stealing or switching packages.

Therefore, it does not make any difference whether the gold is in Xingguo Temple or in the bank at home.On the contrary, it can be exchanged for a high-yield gold mine. Zheng Yuanshou, Wang Renyou and others are naturally willing to do this.

Zheng Yuanshou smiled and said: "Since you don't have any opinions, let's talk about how the gold princes contribute capital, and how to distribute the gold proceeds afterwards. The old man will give me an opinion first. I am waiting here for a total of nine families. If you don't want to use gold Divide it into nine parts, and each family will take out 11 taels of gold. The output of this gold mine should also be divided equally in proportion."

But Li Wangyou shook his head: "I can't afford 11 taels of gold, I'm afraid Uncle Cheng can't afford that much gold either? Hehe, even you gentlemen, can you really afford that much gold?"

Wang Renyou and the others looked at each other, thinking about each other.

As for the 11 taels of gold, it is really difficult for them to take out the five surnames and seven wangs. That already belongs to the need to take out all the things at the bottom of the box to make up enough.

Zheng Yuanshou and the others hesitated at the thought of moving all the family's thousands of years of accumulation to Xingguo Temple.

When everyone was hesitating, they heard another noise coming from outside the Daxiong Palace.

Zheng Yuanshou couldn't help frowning, this Xingguo Temple has been tightly surrounded by their tribes, and even the craftsmen who repaired the temple have been driven out, why is there such a commotion at this time?

Everyone turned their heads to look out, but a group of people entered the temple regardless of the obstruction of the various government tribunes, and were heading towards the Daxiong Palace.After seeing the person who came, everyone's face changed drastically, and then they bowed to the person helplessly: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

It was Li Er, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who made the tribunes of the government dare not stop them from entering the Xingguo Temple.Beside him, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui followed.

Monk Zhengdao heard that the bearded man who entered the hall was actually His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he hurriedly bowed to Li Er in astonishment.As for his disciple Lin Yang, he was so frightened that he knelt down directly.

Li Er strode into the Daxiong Palace, and said with a loud smile: "Haha, all the gentlemen are in such a good mood today, they are all gathered in this Xingguo Temple, but I don't know if they are here to pay homage to the Buddha or to have fun?"

Li Er's words made Zheng Yuanshou and the others not know how to answer, and even scolded their mothers in their hearts. Could it be that the sage also knew about the gold mine in Xingguo Temple?

Zheng Yuanshou felt as if he had eaten a fly. When he left Chang'an City early this morning, he and his cousin Zheng Shanguo were very proud. so and so.

Now that even Li Er has shown up, how much benefit can their aristocratic family gain from it?

When everyone was thinking about it, Li Er's smile was on his face, and he said in a cold voice: "Mr. Fang, I remember that all the salt and iron in the world are exclusive to the imperial court. Is there such a thing?"

Fang Xuanling twisted his beard and smiled and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, that's exactly the case."

"What about this gold mine?"

"Your Majesty, naturally it should be exclusive to the court." Of course Fang Xuanling understood what Li Er meant, and agreed.

The dialogue between the monarch and his ministers fell into the ears of the aristocratic family, but they did not hesitate to blow a thunderbolt.The sentimental sage came here today, and he also wanted to snatch this gold mine!

Wang Renyou immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, there is no regulation in my Tang law that gold mines must also be handed over to the court, but the salt and iron monopoly does not involve copper, gold and other things."

What he said is naturally true. Before the Han Dynasty, iron smelting was a private business, and there were countless people who started from iron smelting.For example, it is recorded in the history books, "Guo Zong of Handan, made a fortune with iron smelting, and became rich with the king."

In the Han Dynasty, Nasang Hongyang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, suggested that salt, iron and wine should be state-owned and monopolized to fill the country's funds and prevent local princes and powerful tyrants from separatist regimes.

Since then, throughout the dynasties, salt and iron have been monopolized by the state court.

But at least in the Tang Dynasty, copper and gold were not included in this restriction.The aristocratic families also own their own copper mines in the local area, and the court only collects taxes from them.
