"By the way, brother-in-law, I have already purchased a lot of properties in Luoyang, and I have also opened up relations with the county guards over there, as long as the homeless people over there live a circle on our side, you do the same as before, and the countless silver will flow into our pockets unconsciously."

"Well, the silver I got should be spent in Zhengzhou and Luoyang as soon as possible, and the silver is becoming less and less valuable, so I will exchange it all for land or industry as soon as possible." Cao Quanzhi said with satisfaction, "By the way, we have to leave two ways to buy a big ship, if Xiao Dafu fails, the above will blame it, and we will have a variety of choices." ”

"Brother-in-law Takami." Hu Buwei hurriedly said.

"Zhang Lingcheng's old fox is cunning and good, but he didn't expect to be so timid. Does Xiao Dafu really think that with the more than 10,000 rabble he has trained, he can succeed in rebellion? ”

"Speaking of which, the timing of Lao Er's choice is really good, the Three Kingdoms are on the side, and the country is empty. Maybe 10,000 soldiers are promising, but of course, if they are used for rebellion, they are still far from enough. ”

"If the army is defeated, we will automatically sacrifice the city, and then put the responsibility on the county guard Xie Lao'er and the escaped Zhang Laofox, maybe not only will there be no fault, but it will be meritorious!"

"If the emperor rewards him, I hope my brother-in-law will mention it more."

"Well, can the forces in the city be controlled? If not, spend some silver and hire some outlaws who lick the blood from the knife edge, so that we can truly control the small city of light. ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, Dong Hai and the founders of Gangzi's group of brothers, I don't know what medicine I took wrong, and I actually picked them collectively, I didn't have any certainty, but if there were no constraints from them, as long as we used some means, the force of Bright Town would soon be in our hands." Hu Buwei spread out his palms and slowly clenched his fists.

"Hahahaha......"

Xiao Dafu had wanted to have a seizure for a long time, but when he was about to jump out and drink, he found that he couldn't move at all, and he couldn't even make a sound. Jing Nian slowly walked out of Cao's Mansion, and Xiao Dafu was dominated by a gentle force and followed behind her.

"This is the officialdom you control single-handedly, why, don't you recognize it?"

Xiao Dafu opened his mouth, found that he had regained his freedom, and immediately said: "If I stay here, they will definitely not dare to act so recklessly." I'd like to see what they did. After saying that, he immediately walked towards his home.

When he returned to Xiao's Mansion and saw Bai Ru's pale face when he greeted him, Xiao Dafu was a little ashamed in his heart, "Madam, come and meet Master Jingnian." ”

Bai Ru bowed dignifiedly, "Good Master Jingnian." ”

After being introduced, Xiao Dafu hurriedly asked, "Madam, where are all the account books sent recently?" ”

"It's all in your study, I've put it all in chronological order, and the master will know it at a glance."

"Well, then you talk to the master first, and I'll come when I go and see." After Xiao Dafu finished speaking, he hurriedly came to the study, he looked at the account books for half a year, his face gradually turned pale, and suddenly, Xiao Dafu shouted: "Bastard!" Outrageous! He slammed the ledger in his hand directly onto the table.

He was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't expect that in just half a year, the total number of people in Guangming Town remained the same, but there were more than 3,000 mobile accounts, Xiao Dafu instantly understood Cao Quanzhi's way of collecting money, these extra accounts, Bacheng is a homeless person from a neighboring county, just chant for three hours in the newly built temple, and he will contribute a sum of money. The extra 3,000 accounts, according to the silver pattern that has now risen to 300 taels per household, I am afraid that the silver that has flowed into Cao Quanzhi's pocket has been nearly one million!

Not only that, in the days of his departure, the tax revenue of the wharf has been raised by 20%, and the distribution role of the wharf in Guangming Town has long been radiated around, and even become a very important cargo transit station for Yanshi, and now the scale of the wharf and the wealth generated by the 24-hour non-stop operation, even if it is only 20%, ......

In the final analysis, all this money is out of myself, hahaha, I Xiao Dafu also has today, people are stupid, there is a lot of money, what I said is really good.

Full of indignation, Xiao Dafu came to the pavilion in the back garden, and looked at the lady and Master Jingnian who were talking happily, and he suddenly realized his current situation.

A rebellious leader, captured by the ancestors of the Zhu family, the reason why he has survived until now is because everyone is a person with a relationship with the Buddha, and he wanted to persuade Master Jingnian with the current situation of the small city of light, but he didn't expect that in the day he left, things were already out of his control.

What is the ability of the current self to sanction Cao Quanzhi and others? How does I face my current self with a smile a few meters away? It was only today that I realized that my wife smiled so beautifully.

Not knowing how she got to them, Bai Ru seemed to see Xiao Dafu's strange appearance, and stepped forward and smiled: "Master, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No, it's just a little tired, it's not in the way, madam, you and Master Jing Nian are very compatible."

"You also think that I hit it off with the master, and the master told me a joke just now."

"Oh, let's listen to it, let the husband be happy." Feeling that time is running out, Xiao Dafu is rarely gentle.

"Well, over the years, the government has supported those who live in poverty or are homeless, and they will always give some silver after reciting the scriptures, I thought that the government did not directly allocate silver because I didn't want the people to get it for nothing, I never thought that just now Sister Jingnian gave me a statement, the government actually wants everyone in the bright town to believe in Buddhism? Husband, you say it's funny, it's not funny. ”

Isn't it funny? Xiao Dafu's face was a little pale, he forced himself to hold back the embarrassment on his face, and asked without a trace: "Madam, is this really funny?" ”

"Well, it's much worse than the old man building houses, improving the docks, stocking fish fry for those poor people, etc. However, it can't be said to be completely useless, at least it has also allowed some people to find spiritual sustenance. There is one thing that the government has never figured out, even if every household goes to chant sutras, but what they worship from beginning to end is actually silver, not Buddha. ”

Bai Ru had never had such a long communication with her husband, and she was a little excited for a while, so she said to herself: "Master, do you know how my original maid Xiaolian described it to me? At that time, she happily said that there are good things, there are good things, as long as she pretends to mumble in the temple for three hours, she can get a real hundred taels of silver. You said, Xiaolian, this maid has been with me for nearly ten years before she can understand some words, and most of the aboriginal residents of our bright town are probably not many literate, let alone let them recite scriptures! ”

Xiao Dafu's body suddenly staggered a little, Bai Ru hurriedly mixed with him, looking at her husband's somewhat pale face, Bai Ru seemed to realize something: "Master, I don't have much knowledge as a woman, don't take it to heart." ”

"Hehe," Xiao Dafu laughed miserably, no, they worship silver, doesn't it just prove the role of money? After all, it is because of the silver that they have come into contact with the Buddha, or if I am increasing the investment and direction of use of wealth, then can I achieve success?

Looking at Xiao Dafu's calm expression, Jing Nian shook his head, "Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore." Master Xiao Shi, are you still obsessed? The officialdom you control with silver is smoky, and the money you use has little effect on the education of the Dharma, so far, haven't you realized that the Buddha is the Buddha in the heart after all, and has nothing to do with things outside the body. ”

"What's the difference! Come with me, Master, and I will show you what a bleak situation the lord of the gang has fallen into now, and the brotherhood that has depended on each other in several years of embarrassment, under the pull of money. After speaking, Xiao Dafu walked out of the house first and walked towards the seaside, the helper he said should be the peak.

Walking on the neat bluestone street, past the rows of patchwork of green bricks and green tiles, Jing Nian found that in the bustling crowd of people coming and going, most of the passers-by were with a faint satisfaction, and she knew that this was the strange pride of being a resident of Guangming Town. Well, this Xiao Dafu's starting point is good, and he did some good things, but the method is wrong.

After about half a burnt of incense, they came to the outermost row of courtyards in Guangming Town, and with a strong impatience, Xiao Dafu walked to a wooden door first, and knocked on the "Bangbang ......".

I didn't think that the wooden door didn't stumble at all, and under Xiao Dafu's eager force, it opened with a "squeak".

Then, Xiao Dafu was stunned.

The oncoming Shifang was stunned.

Gao Feng, who was facing the door, looked up, and knew Xiao Dafu who had been in contact, after all, he had participated in his wedding banquet, and he had dealt with him twice because Shifang was the guardian of his house.

Just wanted to get up and greet him, but the ten parties around him were one step ahead of him, hey, how could the ten brothers be so excited? My brain couldn't react for a while, and I watched Shifang step by step.

Master? I haven't seen him for five years, no, he's not the master now, looking at the long black hair with a hint of white, the rich figure has actually lost a lot of weight compared to five years ago, well, the master's spirit doesn't seem to be very good, by the way, the master doesn't recognize me, and now he is called Xiao Dafu.

Although he repeatedly controlled his thoughts, his body involuntarily stood up and walked towards Xiao Dafu step by step. Then, he saw Bai Ru and Jing Nian behind him.

His eyes narrowed suddenly, and he suddenly exploded like an animal in danger, and (oh, he has no hair) let out a cold light in his eyes, staring at Jing Nian tightly.

When Shifang got up, Jing Nian felt something, and it wasn't until Shifang's body took the initiative to exude a suppressed sharpness that she realized that she had met someone in the same way. Well, it's not too comfortable to be stared at like this.

Suddenly, a white figure blocked the sight of the two, "Brother Shifang, why are you here, oh, I forgot, hehe, you should be here." ”

Dong Hai, who had been facing away from the wooden door, realized it later, turned his head, and vaguely recognized Xiao Dafu's identity, as if he was a very rich businessman, oh, by the way, the Shifang brothers also went to his house as a nurse. At that moment, he carried a jar of freshly opened old wine, and swayed over with drunkenness.

"Haha, Xiao Yuanwai, meeting is fate, come, let's have a drink!"

Shifang crossed his arm to block Dong Hai and said in a low voice: "Be careful! ”

Jing Nian pulled Bai Ru behind him and muttered, "He's not the one you know. ”

The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, a dead silence suppressed by the aura of the two relics period. Gao Feng and the others were extremely dull in their chests, and they were unable to speak at all.

Except for one person. He used to be a Buddha who attained the Buddha Infant Great Perfection, in order to reach the realm of dust, and turned into a mortal for the current Xiao Dafu.

The expression of almost collapse rendered the helpless despair: "You, how can you be together!" ”

This is an angry accusation, and Xiao Dafu is a little hysterical. He used his wealth to control the officialdom of a city, but found that he had raised a bunch of moths; He used his wealth to try to guide the people of a city to participate in Buddhism and believe in Buddhism, but found that it was just a joke; I came here with the last expectation, wanting to prove that wealth can indeed affect feelings and people's hearts, even if the feelings are sincere, even if life is varied? But what did he see?

How can you be together! How can you push the cup and drink it with pride like this!!
