Chapter 141: The Blessed One
After listening to Wei Xuanzhen's question, Huang Chenggong showed a happy look: "The proprietor, of course it's really sold, can the student still deceive you?" ”
He looked like he was praising me, praising me.
After all...... The delivery of so much land took a lot of time, and because Wei Xuanzhen was not there, this land sale still needed to invite Wei Xuanzhen's son and a few clan elders to come together before it could be traded!
Huang Chenggong felt that all this was thanks to his matchmaking, and he earned so much money for the Wei family in one day, which was a great achievement.
But who knows, as soon as Huang Chenggong's words fell, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly became angry, clenched his fists and hammered directly towards Huang Chenggong's face, and said angrily: "Beast, do you want to kill the old man?" ”
This punch made Huang Chenggong's eyes blue!
He covered his eyes and wailed, "Proprietor, proprietor...... What's the matter with you, proprietor......"
Wei Xuanzhen let out an angry roar: "It's over, it's over." Quick, go to the dental line immediately, go to the dental line. ”
The proprietor of the East City Tooth Store discovered an unbelievable thing.
The land that used to hang here and no one cared about it suddenly became sought-after.
In fact, there is not much land hanging here.
After all, the Chen family directly purchased a large amount of land in Erpigou, and those families who owned a lot of land had already sold a large amount of land to the Chen family.
There are only those ordinary people who are bitter, and they have some land at home, and when they see that the land has fallen, they are scattered with three or five acres hanging in the tooth shop.
After all...... The clans themselves are queuing up to sell land, and you, an ordinary people, dare to be ahead of them?
It's just that most of these lands are untouched.
Can ...... now But it doesn't seem to be the same.
First, someone came in a hurry and asked how much land there was, how much land there was, and how much land they bought.
The situation changed too quickly, and the owner was a little confused this week, but he still quickly contacted the seller to come to the tooth shop to trade with the buyer.
It's a pity that the seller came in a hurry, but when he looked at it, he found that the buyer was not one, but a swarm of people who wanted to trade with him.
At this time, the sellers are not stupid, so many of you want to buy, and you still want to buy at a cheap price?
As a result, some people began to scramble to ask for the price.
However, the more they bid, the more the seller still has no interest in selling.
Everyone is not a fool, although ordinary people have no knowledge, but they suddenly found that their land is hot, and they still sell land at this time, aren't they stupid?
Even if someone offers a high price of eight per mu, the higher the price, the more the seller feels as if there is some conspiracy.
It was not sold, and the brand was immediately withdrawn.
“……”
That tooth line also felt that he had hit a ghost.
They rely on transactions to take a cut, before the land price plummeted, no one bought land, this transaction can not be done, naturally can only lose money and make money.
Now all of a sudden, a swarm of people wants to buy the land, but the seller is not selling it, it seems that ...... Again, there is not a single volume.
How dare you people who do business make fun of me?
The entire Chang'an ...... There was a strange atmosphere in the air.
People suddenly found that there were a lot of copper coins on the market.
All the money saved in the treasury of the family ran out, desperately buying everything that could be purchased.
Whether it is land, cloth, iron, the price of materials and land, it has begun to rise, and the price of goods has begun to rise wildly.
If you don't take the money out and spend it, it's over, God knows how much the copper money in your hand will be worth tomorrow? Staying in the hands means constant depreciation, and everyone is not stupid.
Thus...... When prices and asset prices start to skyrocket, it becomes more and more panicked!
You see, that's right, I'll just say that the money is worthless, so don't hurry up and continue to buy.
The entire Chang'an has been on a roller coaster ride for several months.
The third uncle found Chen Zhengtai excitedly: "Zhengtai, it's terrible, it's terrible, the land price has risen to ten times today, and our Chen family has made three times as much as it has changed hands." Not only that, but there is also cloth, the cloth has risen by 10%, and the grain has risen a little, but there are also signs of rising, and there are ......"
Chen Zhengtai's reaction was very calm, and he obviously expected this.
The market is irrational, and the fundamental reason is that people are irrational.
Once people are not rational, anything strange can happen.
Chen Zhengtai said calmly: "This is just the beginning, but ......"
He paused, glanced at his third uncle, and was happy: "If this continues, I'm afraid that the people's livelihood will be difficult, and these hot money on the market will speculate on all the materials, can the people still live?" ”
The third uncle frowned: "Let's take care of our Chen family first, let's talk about it after we get rich." ”
Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "If you have wealth, you have to keep it first, if you can't keep it, what's the use of keeping this wealth?" The teacher believes in me Chen Zhengtai so much, if I continue to let everyone make endless waves, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, so ...... You have to do a complete set of things, and you must not give up halfway, and then ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to come out. If we can't stabilize the market, the prince and I won't have enough to cut off ten heads. ”
Chen Zhengtai said, and hurriedly found the prince.
Li Chengqian didn't expect it...... It's been a mess outside.
The clan has too much money.
After all, hundreds of years of wealth, before everyone was unwilling to spend money, caused a terrible deflation, and now everyone has taken money out to buy any materials, although the price of land and materials continues to rise, but everyone knows that if this continues, there will be a big mess.
Just two days after the appearance of Chen's copper smelting method, many prices have doubled, and they are in a state of short supply, if this continues, Chen Zhengtai may really be finished.
At least...... Wei Zheng had already begun to impeach Chen Zhengtai, and immediately afterward, many imperial historians spoke out.
Two days ago, Li Shimin was still happy, but now he is a little confused!
Looking at the secret music sent by Baiqi, for a while, he was also worried: "Chen Zhengtai did say that it would cause some kind of inflation, but I never expected that the matter would be so serious." Wei Qing's family bluntly said in the song that people are now panicking, and even a large number of businessmen have begun to stock up on goods.
Li Shimin frowned deeply.
Now it seems to have it, and the money is there, but it's ...... This happened again.
"What is Chen Zhengtai doing?"
"I heard that I went to the East Palace early this morning, like with His Royal Highness the Prince...... What's the matter. Slave...... Slave...... Also heard...... I heard that ......" Zhang Qian hesitated, he was wondering if he should continue.
Seeing that Zhang Qian wanted to speak and stopped, Li Shimin said: "It's okay for you to say." ”
Zhang Qiandao: "I heard that the prince and Chen Zhengtai are looking for Taoists and monks everywhere, saying that they want to do things. ”
"Rites?" Li Shimin was stunned!
At this juncture, these two guys didn't hurry up to find a way to maintain the stability of the market, and actually ran to do things? Is it possible to make the world stable by doing the Dharma?
However, Li Shimin seems to have forgotten that a few days ago, Empress Changsun was unwell, and he also engaged in feudal superstitious activities.
Zhang Qian said tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to urge the slave to ......?"
"That's it." Li Shimin shook his head: "If you urge, it will seem harsh, this matter is not something that can be done by the prince and Chen Zhengtai, let Fang Qing's family and the secretaries of various ministries try their best to stabilize prices." ”
Then, Li Shimin said: "Summons Fang Qing's family." ”
…………
Erpigou is indeed doing things, and has invited people from nearby Taoist temples and Buddhist temples.
It seems that Chen Zhengtai still felt that this ritual was not enough, and not only invited monks and Taoists, but also warlocks on the street.
These people have arrived, and they are happy to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the recently hot Chen Jungong, after all...... Chen Jun has money, and the incense and oil given at that time must be a lot.
As for each other, you are worshipping the Buddha, and I am participating in the Tao, but now when they get together, everyone will not feel any embarrassment.
Master Xuanjing of the Temple of Mercy and Grace had a compassionate look on his face, and was taken to Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai, first proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then said: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chen Jungong, what is the matter of doing this time?" The poor monk brought thirty-seven monks from the temple to inquire about it, so we can be prepared. ”
"Well." Li Chengqian said, and suddenly felt strange!
yes, what do we do?
Li Chengqian was direct, and asked Chen Zhengtai on the spot: "Senior brother, what are we doing with this Fa thing?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said on the side: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it when I think about it." ”
Li Chengqian: "......"
Master Xuanjing: "......"
Fortunately, Master Xuanjing is also a well-informed person, and he said with a smile: "Master Chen can't be joking, right?" ”
"Of course not." Chen Zhengtai pulled down his face: "Am I like a joker?" It really makes sense, come and come, Chen Fu, the mages have worked hard here, give them their respective temples and Taoist temples, first reward each with 500 yuan, they come to Erpigou, just like they came to their own home, the food used must be enough, in short, they can't be treated badly. ”
Before the practice began, the reward had already begun.
But Chen Zhengtai was still unsatisfied: "Hey, if you look at me, you know that talking about money is too vulgar, but it makes the monk see the joke, these five hundred times, I really can't get into the eyes of the mage, and when this Dharma is done, add some sesame oil, just give a thousand eight hundred, it's nothing." ”
For Master Xuanjing, this is a lot of money, enough to mold the golden body of the Bodhisattva in the temple, and he hurriedly said: "The donor is so kind and giving, how dare the poor monks laugh at it, and it is too late to admire." ”
"Okay, let's gather people first, I want to hear everyone's opinions, let's discuss, what is better to do, or ...... Let's get a ritual of begging for a child, I'm Chen Zhengtai's daughter begging for a son, how about it? ”
Li Chengqian's eyes widened suddenly, and he grinned and said, "You haven't married a wife yet." ”
Chen Zhengtai seemed to suddenly remember this, and said regretfully: "In this way, then I wish my teacher and give birth to a noble son early?" ”
Li Chengqian's eyes widened, and he wanted to strangle him immediately.
Master Xuanjing was still smiling, he felt that this Chen Jungong seemed to have something wrong with his brain.
Still, it doesn't matter...... No matter how much people have problems in their brains, it is also a county prince, or a rich county prince.
On that day, the monks and Taoist priests gathered together, and everyone began to talk in a low voice.
Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian also sat on the side, listening to their respective conversations!
Suddenly, Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that your archery skills are excellent, I would like to see you." ”
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What kind of arrow to shoot at this time, senior brother, you are crazy." ”
Chen Zhengtai looked at him with a smile and said, "You shoot me to see." ”
Master Xuanjing: "......"
Their conversation was not quiet, and then, in the lobby, there was a sudden silence, and a pin drop could be heard.
Li Chengqian couldn't help him, so he had to shake his head, let someone take the bow and arrow, and was about to open the bow, Chen Zhengtai said at this time: "What to shoot, there is, come here, take my pig." ”
Master Xuanjing: "......"
Many people brought a pig with all hands and feet, and the pig was tied up and screamed!
Chen Zhengtai asked people to put the pig in the corner and said, "Just shoot this, Your Highness, I think you will definitely not be able to shoot." ”
Li Chengqian sneered, feeling underestimated by Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai said in front of everyone again: "However, I think it seems that this difficulty is not high, someone came, tied the prince's eyes, and let him shoot blindly!" ”
Li Chengqian was a little unhappy, he couldn't understand what Buddhist medicine was sold in Chen Zhengtai's gourd.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai personally tore the strip of cloth and blindfolded Li Chengqian's eyes.
Li Chengqian let out a low cry and shot three arrows in succession.
The first arrow missed, but the second arrow hit the pig's lower abdomen, so the blood flowed down, and the pig's intestines flowed all over the ground.
Chen Zhengtai exclaimed from the side: "Oh, I'm most afraid of seeing blood." ”
For a moment, the Taoists, monks, and warlocks in this hall were stunned, and their faces were as frightened as earth.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai said: "I want to protect myself, quickly bring my big knife, this pig is not out of breath, I want to chop him into meat sauce." ”
Seeing that they could not kill, the monks turned around and fled.
Chen Zhengtai immediately shouted: "Don't leave that monk, they can take my sesame oil money, take the sesame oil money and want to leave, is it wrong to bully me Chen Zhengtai?" ”
It was like this until midnight, and Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian went back to sleep satisfied.
But these monks and Taoists, as well as the warlocks, began to fall asleep, and had nightmares all night, in which it was Chen Zhengtaiming's dangling broadsword, and the arrows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shot high and low.
The main thing is that these two guys don't play their cards according to common sense, you never know what they're going to do in the next moment.
There was also the screaming pig, whose intestines flowed all over the ground, and it was a full half hour before he became angry.
That bloody breath still makes people feel sick to the stomach.
That's it...... Everyone continued to discuss what to do.
And everyone found that since receiving the sesame oil money, many powerful people with knives began to appear near their residences.
Master Xuanjing also began to panic, he had never encountered such a thing before.
How does it feel...... I was flustered.
I tossed around like this for two or three days, today I was carrying a big knife like a green dragon glaive knife to kill chickens, and tomorrow I was shooting arrows, but I didn't mention anything about the Dharma.
Everyone felt more and more terrifying.
On the third day, Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian rode horses and began to wander around Erpigou with more than 200 monks, Taoists, and warlocks.
Chen Zhengtai suddenly stopped his horse and landed on an open land, and said with a relaxed look: "This place is good, not bad, junior brother, get off the horse, let's go." ”
Everyone had to follow them, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking, because everyone had a panic in their hearts, and they didn't know what would happen next.
Chen Zhengtai suddenly stopped again, made a strange sound from his mouth, and pulled a warlock and said: "I heard that you have profound spells and are well-known in Chang'an, let me ask you, how do you say this place?" ”
"I ...... I ......, "This man is blind, and there is a little boy by his side!"
At this time, he suddenly listened to Chen Jungong's questioning, he looked at his blind cane hard, and said expectantly: "This place ...... This place is small, and it seems that it is not beautiful...... Why, an ancestor in Chenjungong's family has passed away? It's not good, it's not good. ”
"You know whether it's good or bad even if you're blind, it's clear that you're a liar." When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he was furious: "It's really unreasonable, you took my money, and scolded someone in my family for dying, you damn blind, come here, come here, tie me up, and send me to the mine to dig coal." ”
Chen Fu immediately came over with a menacing attitude, and the blind man suddenly shouted: "I'm wronged, the villain is just ...... Just ......"
But where did everyone pay attention to him, they tied him up and sent him away.
Chen Zhengtai sighed, then his eyes fell on a Taoist again, and said with a smile: "You come, you come, you come to tell me, how is this place?" ”
Compared with Chen Zhengtai's smiling face, the Taoist was stunned, there were more than 200 people here, how could they choose themselves, thinking of the miserable situation of the blind man, they were speechless.
Li Chengqian was impatient, and said fiercely: "Say it quickly!" ”
This person trembled, but he still forced himself to say: "Poor Dao...... Poor Dao faintly saw that the sky above this place was purple light, and last night I watched the sky at night, and I also saw the crape myrtle star passing by...... I'm afraid here...... There's a king's spirit here, yes, yes, there's a king's spirit. ”
Chen Zhengtai's smile suddenly retracted, and he said angrily: "Wang Qi? Are you trying to kill me, Chen Zhengtai? It seems that you guy, you have been plotting against you, with ulterior motives, coming people, coming people, tying them up, sending them to the government, this person wants to rebel, it's too terrible, he dares to say that there is a royal spirit here. ”
The Taoist was already frightened like chaff, and shouted in panic for mercy.
Chen Zhengtai ignored him, and his eyes fell on the other warlock: "Come, come and see." ”
The warlock immediately said: "This place is flat, there are mountains nearby, it looks like a cornucopia, I think this place is a blessed land, you can make money, you can get blessings, and you can bless your descendants." ”
Chen Zhengtai suddenly smiled: "Really? You're not going to fool me, I'm going to ask someone. ”
Then he said to the others, "Do not be afraid, but come and see." ”
As he spoke, Chen Zhengtai looked at Master Xuanjing: "What does the senior monk think?" ”
Xuanjing's face turned red, looking at the poor blind man who was tied up and the man, he was silent for a long time before he said: "Yes, this place is quiet and quiet, and it can be called a blessed treasure place." ”
Chen Zhengtai said in surprise: "So that's the case, you won't lie to me, right?" ”
Xuanjing took a deep breath: "The monks don't speak. ”
