Chapter 780: A bite back

"Bloodstained mercy!"

When the new issue of the ink magazine solemnly put the Zhao tragedy on the front page, the entire Chang'an City suddenly became a sensation.

Prior to this, the reputation of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was very good, and they were compassionate and compassionate, but the things reported in the ink magazine gave a huge contrast to the citizens of Chang'an.

"Isn't the Great Mercy and Grace Temple always compassionate? How can you do such ugly things as forcing people to commit suicide? ”

"You don't know! It is still common for the Great Ci'en Temple to borrow money from Yinzi, where do you think the fields in the name of those Buddhist temples come from? ”

……………………

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they condemned the behavior of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

"It is natural to repay debts, and the Zhao couple did not repay the money, and they also used their death to slander the reputation of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple."

"This money is originally gilded for the Buddha, if everyone borrows money and does not pay it back, how can they build temples and Buddhas."

There are also foolish and loyal believers in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and they keep whitewashing the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

"Is it natural to repay debts? Do you know that this is Indian money, the donkey rolls and rolls, Zhao Laohan borrowed three times, and he has to pay back forty times at once. One merchant sneered.

As merchants are particularly sensitive to money, they can be said to hate and fear donkey rolling, once anyone gets involved with donkey rolling usury, it can be said that they will not die but also shed their skin, and naturally know the horror of donkey rolling usury.

"So much?" The crowd exclaimed.

The merchant sneered: "That's too much? That's a game you haven't heard of, the Mo family and Princess Changle doubled their penny, and you know how terrifying it is to roll a donkey. ”

"A game that doubles the penny?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"You'll find out if you wait." The merchant said proudly.

Under the curiosity of the people, they kept doubling, and when they doubled to thirty days, they couldn't help but be shocked to see the huge amount of money as high as 500 million yuan.

"The donkey rolls on the loan shark, it is so terrifying!" For a moment, everyone was terrified at the sight of this figure, although it is impossible for usury to reach the interest rate of doubling a penny, but the reason is the same.

Suddenly, the blood-stained mercy in the ink magazine exploded instantly with the game of doubling the penny, and public opinion once again fell one-sided to the Zhao couple, and the reputation of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple plummeted to the freezing point.

In the Great Ci'en Temple, almost all the chief monks gathered together, one by one looked at the ink magazine in front of them with gloomy faces, all the time, the reputation of the Buddhist temple is outside, no one believes in a person's nonsense, but when the newspaper and periodical new thing appeared in the Tang Dynasty, the right to speak suddenly changed, a word, everyone knows, in an instant, the original operation that has been safe for many years was instantly amplified under the public, and suddenly the Great Ci'en Temple was caught off guard.

"The Mo family is too deceitful! The water of my Great Mercy Temple and the Mojia Well does not interfere with the river water, and they are so yin. ”

Monk Tongji roared with a flushed face.

The other monks were also angry, this time the report of the ink magazine was a fatal blow to the reputation of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, once it lost its reputation, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple will definitely decline, and it will never regain its previous glory. This damages the interests of the entire Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and even affects the reputation of Buddhism.

"The poor monk said before that Buddhism is a quiet place, how can you put money in the seal, otherwise how can there be today's crisis." A kind-hearted old monk was heartbroken, and many monks also nodded their heads again and again, they did not approve of such dirty things that insulted the reputation of Buddhism.

"Senior Brother Tongren, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, if it weren't for my Tongji's hard work over the years, how could there be today's Great Mercy and Grace Temple, gilding the Buddha and expanding the temple, where did the money come from." Monk Tongji sneered.

The fellow monks were silent for a moment, although they did not agree with the Great Ci'en Temple to release the money, but in fact they were the beneficiaries, and fundamentally speaking, they were not clean.

"Okay, it's too late to say anything, and now what we have to do is how to get the Great Mercy and Grace Temple through this crisis." The abbot of mercy said solemnly.

"Please also ask the abbot to command." Tongji monk hand do.

"Tongji! Zhao Laohan's land property is not allowed to be touched again, and in addition, the borrowed money is interest-free, and how much is lent out, how much is recovered, and it can even be exempted. The abbot of mercy said.

"Ahh The Great Temple of Mercy and Grace will suffer a great loss. Monk Tongji was dissatisfied.

The fellow monk sneered: "At this time, you are still thinking about these small profits. ”

The Tongji monk's face suddenly changed, and he stared at the colleague arrogantly, and the colleague remembered the past of the Tongji monk, and couldn't help but tremble and shrank back.

"That's it! And in the future, the Great Ci'en Temple will no longer set foot in Yinzi money, and all of it will be handed over to the money bank to operate. The abbot of mercy said with a final word.

"Yes!" The Tongji monk nodded unwillingly.

"What about the reputation of the Great Temple of Mercy and Grace?" The fellow monk didn't dare to target Tongji anymore, and turned his head and asked.

The abbot of Ci'en suddenly frowned, the harm of the ink magazine is too great, and now the Great Ci'en Temple can be said to be the finger of Wanfu, and the reputation must be restored as soon as possible in order to keep the Daci'en Temple.

"Although the ink magazine is influential, it is not a monopoly, if you want to break the situation, then you must think of Confucianism for help." Abbot Ci'en frowned.

The fellow monk said in his heart: "What the abbot said is Confucianism!" ”

"Not bad!" Abbot Ci'en nodded.

"Wonderful!" All the monks were overjoyed and said that with the Confucian journal to whitewash the Great Ci'en Temple, they would definitely be able to wash away the notoriety of the Great Ci'en Temple.

"Yes, Confucianism and the Mo family are opposites, and this time they will definitely help the Temple of Mercy and Grace." The fellow monk nodded.

"Not only that, but also to warn the Mo family not to do anything against Buddhism." The monk of Tongji said fiercely.

Abbot Ci'en nodded and said, "With such a two-pronged approach, my Great Ci'en Temple will be fine." ”

"The real Great Mercy and Grace Temple!"

With the Confucian journal published a statement on the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, attributing the tragedy of the Zhao couple to the expensive medical expenses of the Mo Hospital, the Zhao couple exhausted their family property and still did not recover, so they committed suicide in frustration.

"I'll just say that the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is a benevolent place, how could such an ugly thing be done, it must be the Zhao couple who committed suicide."

"Yes! Although the hospital is highly skilled, it also charges a lot of money, and the last time I went to see a doctor, it cost a lot of money. ”

"The Mo Hospital is indeed not cheap, and we are not children of the Mo family, so we can treat patients for free."

……………………

In fact, since the opening of the Mo Hospital, the cure rate and cost of the people of Datang have been greatly reduced, but no one wants to spend money on their own.

All of a sudden, the wind direction of Chang'an City changed again, after the introduction of Confucian magazines, coupled with the reputation of the Great Ci'en Temple, in the hearts of some foolish believers, the Great Ci'en Temple was soon whitewashed, and the reputation of the Mo Hospital was greatly damaged.
