The signboards of Shaolin Temple and Daxiangguo Temple, that is simply not too loud, although this is not a martial arts, but in general, these two bald donkeys are also a bit of an identity figure, so they must still be treated with courtesy.

Needless to say, Daxiangguo Temple, Shaolin, is also the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, in the north of the entire Yangtze River, it is also the cow of the world's Buddhism, in contrast, although the White Horse Temple in Luoyang is the ancestor of the world's Buddhist temples, but the influence is really a lot worse.

Therefore, the father and son of the Sun family did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted them and ordered someone to make good tea.

"What are the two masters doing?"

"Amitabha, I heard that the Salt and Iron Division is now building a money village, and wants to mint new coins with silver, which is convenient for merchants to connect the world, this is a great goodness, and we people outside the party also want to contribute to it."

The father and son of the Sun family looked at each other, but said: "Two masters, although our money village is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, but this investment is ...... It's not a decimal, because it requires a lot of copper reserves, so it's ......"

"Amitabha, if you want copper, I don't have more than one Xiangguo Temple, 100,000 catties, I can still get it."

The father and son even squirted out the tea: "How much?" ”

Shaolin's Hui Liang also said: "For the benefit of the common people, Shaolin does not dare to lag behind, squeezing 100,000 catties, and it is not a big problem." And the two of us are here on behalf of the world's Buddhism, within a million catties, and there is no big problem. ”

Sun Yue was frightened: "Where did you get so much copper?" ”

"Tear down a few Buddha statues, and there will be one."

“…………”

“…………”

This special style of painting is a bit wrong, the monk took the initiative to ask for the Buddha statue to be removed? It's not a dream, is it?

"Amitabha, worshipping the Buddha is both a ritual heart, as long as the heart is sincere, what is the difference between the bronze Buddha and the mud Buddha? It is the golden Buddha, if you don't accumulate virtue on weekdays, the Buddha will not bless, the silver coin for the benefit of the world, the merit is immeasurable, if you destroy the Buddha's golden body, the Buddha will inevitably forgive. ”

Sun Yue and Sun Chunming were speechless, they had the impression that every year during the Chinese New Year, there would be a group of eminent monks and great virtues to cast Buddhas, but you didn't say that at that time.

However, in this way, they are indeed the big copper depositors in the world, and even if all the copper in the world is added together, it may not be much more than them.

Take Daxiangguo Temple as an example, the three Buddhas on the Daxiong Treasure Hall are nearly five meters high, pure copper gilt, just these three Buddha statues melted, I am afraid that there is not a tens of thousands of catties, no wonder you speak so arrogantly.

Five generations of troubled times, Buddhism was already very prosperous, the number of monks in the Zhou Dynasty exceeded millions, and even seriously affected the operation of the country, so that Chai Rong had to destroy the Buddha, but it was a relatively mild means of reform, and did not kill much, compared to the previous few times has been very benevolent, but unfortunately the second year others hanged, the people in the market said that this is because of offending the Buddha.

Therefore, these monks quickly resurged, and Zhao Kuangyin was also a little frightened, and he really didn't dare to care about these monks, but just carried out some suppression by supporting Taoism (all the emperors who destroyed Buddhism in history did not survive the second year, Chai Rong was the last, this thing is really evil).

There are almost no temples that do not lend usury, firstly, this is the main source of income for the major temples, and secondly, it is actually the most important means for them to accumulate virtue and do good.

Although the highest as high as five cents of interest and even have a black heart to charge double the interest, but this matter can not be seen from the perspective of later generations, as far as the troubled times are concerned, the grain of spring ploughing is really life-saving, the poor people are willing to pay interest and few landlords are willing to borrow, generally speaking, it will be mortgaged with land if it is really not repaid, and the vast majority of the temple's land property is also obtained through this means.

Therefore, these monks are actually the most financially minded people in the world, so as soon as the Qian Zhuang incident came out, they immediately realized that this was a crisis, and both danger and opportunity coexisted.

I also know with my knees that this money bank has saved so many copper coins, and when the silver coins are stable in the future, and not so many people exchange them, may not lend money? There is an advantage to usury in the temple, but that is compared with ordinary landlords and the imperial court, can you let others go?

If you really live on the incense money, I am afraid that at least half of the temples in this world will go bankrupt.

This is not only the dangerous part of the crisis, but as for the opportunity, it is actually obvious, don't you want copper? Who in the world can compare more brass than us? The court can't do it either.

Monks, even if there are not a few warrior monks who can eat meat and even drink wine, but there are still not many places to spend money, at least it is unlikely to marry a bunch of losers to help them spend money, so once the money is saved enough, a big Buddha in Duang will be placed.

In addition, some wealthy people in Chinese civilization usually do three things after they get rich, no matter how they start their lives: build bridges, pave roads, and repair Buddha statues.

So there is really a lot of copper stored in the temple, this thing is cast into a Buddha statue to put it for hundreds of years without moving, like the Great Xiangguo Temple and Shaolin Temple This century-old shop, over time to take out a tens of thousands of catties may not be a matter, the ghost knows how much they have accumulated, and now they are willing to take it out to the money village to make a reserve copper, this is really ...... It's hard to refuse.

So Sun Yue and Sun Chunming, the father and son, glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Let us discuss, the two masters sit down for a while." ”

Then the two of them went to the study, and they discussed it for most of the day, and they didn't see it until the moon came out at night, but fortunately, the two masters had a stable Buddha heart, and they could endure loneliness, and even the maid who served to pour tea on the side was embarrassed because there was really no tea to pour, and the two bald donkeys didn't see any impatience.

It's just that I ran to the toilet a few times because I drank too much tea, but I was always smiling.

I don't blame the father and son for ink, it's really this matter, it's too involved, and the two of them are completely unprepared for this, and it's really unclear for a while.

You must know that although Zhao Kuangyin did not destroy the Buddha like Chai Rong, he really has no good impression of these bald donkeys, and since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have not been incompatible, if they are accepted, they will inevitably offend Taoism, and Taoism is the state religion of the Song Dynasty.

It's a bit too big, and the two of them really can't afford to mess with it.

As for the benefits, it is obvious, as long as they nod their heads, the problem of copper reserves that has plagued them for a long time can almost be solved directly, that is, there is no copper in other places, and these bald donkeys are almost enough to exchange the existing reserve silver.

After all, the silver has not flowed into the country, we really don't produce any silver in the country, who is willing to push out this group of God of Wealth? It's also very funny, in the past, this monk always asked for money when he entered the door, but now he has come to give money, and they really don't dare to accept it.
