After Fan Li proposed the idea of ​​establishing a bank and reforming the currency system in the court hall, generally speaking, the ministers had no opinion. A few financial officials were concerned about whether banknotes could be widely used, and had a small debate with Fan Li.But in the end, when Fan Li took out the banknote samples, everyone was completely convinced.

So far, the financial industry has also begun to flourish in the Great Wei Dynasty.

If the issue of bank and currency system reform is just a slightly weird appetizer, then Yan Hao's next decree is tantamount to a terrible dinner!

One is to build an extremely luxurious and luxurious summer resort on the Lujiang River of Minyue Road!

The second is to promote Buddhism nationwide and build Buddhist temples on a large scale!

Either of these two items has aroused fierce opposition.

Di Gang, the censor, advised: "Your Majesty, we have just repelled the invasion of the Huns and quelled the rebellion in the northwest, but the war has consumed a lot of the country's financial resources. Building a palace at this juncture is adding to the burden of the people. burden!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not too late for Your Majesty to order the construction of a palace for you to have fun after we have recuperated for a while." Zhang Feng, the chief minister, was more tactful than Di Gang, but his attitude of opposition was still very strong. Distinctive.

Unexpectedly, Yan Hao said with a stern face: "I admit that the purpose of building the summer resort is for me to have another resort for sightseeing, and also for the beauties in the harem to have a cool place to escape the summer heat. "

"However, I will never build a palace in a way that exploits the people! I have just obtained from the great businessman Ning Ke the 2000 million taels of silver that I entrusted him to earn from commodity trading as a royal agent, and the current 3000 million taels of silver from the treasury From the two deposits of silver, 1000 million taels and 3000 million taels of silver were transferred as the construction cost of the summer resort. There is no great loss to the treasury property!"

"In addition, this construction project will absolutely not adopt measures of forced labor. All the laborers involved in the construction are hired by the general manager. It is absolutely not allowed to force strong men to happen! Some outstanding performances during the construction process, And those who are willing to continue to engage in the construction industry will be registered with the company and will be used as stable labor in the construction and smelting industries in the future."

"How about you guys, this way, not only will it not affect the people's livelihood, but it will also give those who are not hungry enough to wear the same opportunity to work and earn money, and they can also recruit a fixed labor force. Wouldn't it be a good thing? ?”

When the ministers heard this, their eyes widened and they didn't know how to refute.

They had only one thought in their minds: His Majesty is worthy of being His Majesty, and he is definitely the most awesome and stupid king in history!It is no one to be able to say that spending money to build a luxurious palace for pleasure is a meritorious thing that benefits the people. The key point is that they still think it makes sense after hearing it.

Chapter 145

Of course, what Yan Hao said contained elements of beautification and concealment of his motives.After all, this is 3000 million taels of silver. If you arm the black-armored dragonriders, you can get 5 to [-] more people. Using this money for pleasure is a somewhat extravagant consumption no matter what.

But what he said was also reasonable.It is not his whimsical approach to mobilize the public to participate in engineering construction to create labor. During the great economic crisis in the United States in the 30s, one of Roosevelt’s plans was to build dams and other projects. While improving the environment and reaping economic benefits, he also created employment opportunities. ?

Yan Hao's move this time, although he can't get economic benefits, can get points benefits, and it does create job opportunities, so it's not wrong to say that it benefits the people.After all, he is much more benevolent than Qin Shihuang, who forced strong men to build Lishan Afang Palace for himself.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the construction of the Summer Resort, but my Wei Dynasty has always respected Confucianism as an orthodoxy. It may not be appropriate for Your Majesty to suddenly build a Buddhist temple." Lin Song said at this time.

"That's right, Your Majesty, Buddhism advocates transcendence from the world, advocating Buddhist principles and Zen principles, and Buddhist temples occupy a large amount of land, and even privately store Buddhist soldiers. Propagating such religions is not beneficial to the country!"

"Your Majesty, Chen Shizong is obsessed with Buddhism. He built countless pagodas and led to the country's subjugation. Your Majesty should learn from it!"

Many ministers also warned Yan Haodao.

Yan Hao said disapprovingly: "There is a certain truth in what you said. But after all, I am not Chen Shizong. Buddhism can harm the country, but it can also benefit the country. The key is not that Buddhism itself is poisonous, but how users use it. "

"I adore Buddhism not because I am obsessed with incense in temples, but because I feel its good fortune, realize its Zen mechanism, and learn its Dharma. Xinxing, if this is the case, why not?"

Lin Song frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you speak clearly and logically, but who can guarantee that Buddhism in His Majesty's hands can correctly guide the subjects of the Wei Dynasty, and will not have the opposite effect?"

Yan Hao said with a smile: "There is an ancient saying: the teacher should follow the example, the superior should follow it, and the inferior should follow it. I set an example for the world, and should serve as a model. As long as I can correctly handle the relationship with Buddhism, how can the people of the world Go astray?"

"But……"

Yan Hao waved his hand: "Don't talk too much. When the new year comes, I will go to Guzhu Mountain to pray for blessings and ask Master Tuxian for Buddhist teachings. Master Tuxian is a famous monk in the world. If you are not convinced, you can also go to the master together. That's the debate!"

Seeing that Yan Hao had made up his mind, the ministers had no choice but to give up.

Ever since, under Yan Hao's government order, a large-scale movement to build Buddhist temples was launched across the country, and the construction of the Summer Resort in Lujiang also began.

Although Lujiang is located in the south, it should be a hot and humid place, but there is Mount Lu, which is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The location of the summer resort is also in a valley of Mount Lu. It is indeed a summer resort in hot summer.

The labor required for this construction was mainly recruited from the local people.Its employment price is [-] to [-]% higher than the normal local labor price!The Lujiang people who came to apply were crowded, and even the entire Minyue Road, and even the neighboring Jiangning Road and Lingnan East Road had people coming to apply.

It can be seen that Yan Hao's assertion of benefiting the people is true.In the past, when the kings built large-scale construction projects, the people all over the world couldn't bear to cry, and there were too many people who raised the rebellion. However, when Yan Hao repaired the palace, everyone was happy and even praised him. This kind of strange phenomenon is also rare in history.

Chapter 146

In this way, it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.The mission of singing and dancing has been successfully completed, with 1.5 points and a hero card in hand.

After the points in hand became rich, Yan Hao chose to redeem the Great Return Pill first to save Jiang Ziya!

Jiang Ziya woke up after being in a coma for several months. When he saw Yan Hao, he realized that he had escaped from the dead, and immediately burst into tears. Yan Hao and Lin Peiyao beside him also had sore noses.

"Grandpa, I have really suffered for you this time. It is a blessing for all people to have your loyalty!" Yan Hao said with emotion.

Jiang Ziya shook his head: "Your Majesty is serious. Although the old man knows how to release the technique of falling thunder, this technique is a forbidden curse of heaven and earth. If the timing is not ripe, it is absolutely impossible to successfully cast it! Therefore, it is only possible to rely on His Majesty's destiny to protect the body." Successfully summoned Tianlei."

So far, the relationship between Jiang Ziya and Yan Hao has become more harmonious. The other ministers under Yan Hao, including historical heroes, are all moved by the relationship between the two of them as monarchs and ministers, and they are even more devoted to Yan Hao.

As for the hero card that was rewarded, Yan Hao used it to summon the hero he had coveted for a long time, the fierce general Dian Wei known as "the ancient evil"!

Even Cao Cao safely used Dian Wei as his guard. Although he lacked intelligence and resourcefulness, he was unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, so it was perfect for him to lead the Huben army.

After this exchange, the points in Yan Hao's hands plus the previous balance are only more than 8000 points, and he has to wait for the completion of other tasks before new points can be credited.

As the new year is approaching, Yan Hao decides to take this opportunity to go to Guzhu Mountain to visit Master Tuxian, the abbot of Guzhu Temple.On the one hand, it is to show that he, as the emperor, attaches great importance to Buddhism at this special time, and on the other hand, he really wants to pray for the new year.

Yan Hao took Lin Peiyao and Qi Yun, as well as [-] Jade Sword Girls and Tiger Guards to escort them, and the group came to Guzhu Mountain in a mighty manner.

Guzhu Mountain is located not far from the west of Beijing, backed by the Kuoji Mountain Range. On the top of this mountain, there is a strange solitary bamboo growing in the middle of the cliff, which is always green and green.

When everyone came to the gate of Guzhu Temple, they saw that there was only singing of birds on the empty mountain, and there was no monk to greet them. The Guzhu Temple looked a bit desolate in the background of the mountains. Some taste of disrepair.

The impatient Dian Wei immediately couldn't hold back when he saw this: "This old man from Guzhu Temple is so arrogant, he is hiding in this bird temple and won't come out to greet the emperor when he comes!"

"Your Majesty, just wait and see that someone turns this Lone Bamboo Temple upside down first, and arrests that old man to come out to see you!"

Yan Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him: "Stop the evil!"

"Master Tuxian is an eminent monk, there must be a deep meaning in doing this, you must not make mistakes!"

Dian Wei backed away with a face full of resentment.

Yan Hao signaled that the Roaring Tiger Guards were all waiting outside the Guzhu Temple, and he took Lin Peiyao and several Jade Sword Girls into the Guzhu Temple.

As soon as he entered the Guzhu Temple, Yan Hao heard the sound of reciting the "Diamond Sutra" like thunder in his ears. Yan Hao was suddenly surprised. Could it be that this Guzhu Temple has been banned by some magic, and the outside and inside of the gate There is a world of difference?

At this time, a gray-robed monk with a wrinkled face slowly walked out of the back hall, smiled and said to Yan Hao after performing a Buddhist ceremony: "The almsgiver has come from a long way, why don't you drink a cup of clear tea here first?"

Yan Hao nodded: "I came here specially to ask Master about Buddhism."

The two sat in meditation for a long time in the quiet room of Guzhu Temple. The more Yan Hao communicated with Master Tuxian, the more he felt that his Dharma was profound, like an unattainable mountain, and he would never be able to see what the top of the mountain looked like.Only then did I sigh that I found the right person.

"Come, come, those who have opinions on my advocacy of Buddhism, come in and have a talk with Master Tuxian!" Yan Hao randomly called in the few ministers who criticized his policies most fiercely in the court, and said in his heart : Xiao Mian, if you can argue with me, you may not be able to argue with the master!

Sure enough, those ministers who were strong in fighting in front of Yan Hao, in front of Master Tuxian, it was as if the Vajra Fist had met the Bone-Mian Palm, and they were too weak to exert their strength.No matter how impassioned and witty they were, the master just smiled and refuted them speechlessly with a few rhetorical questions and examples.
