Chapter 494: Intelligent Great Monk

The monk who came can be said to be the richest monk in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no one.

β€”β€”The abbot of Bianjing Daxiangguo Temple, the intelligent monk.

Daxiangguo Temple is the terminal wharf of all waterways in Bianjing, and its topography is located in the center of Bianjing's residential area, with its unique geographical location and the world-famous reputation of the temple itself, making it the most prosperous area in the prosperous Bianjing City.

It is equivalent to the Wangfujing Sanlitun area of Beijing, the capital of later generations.

Thanks to this favorable geographical conditions, the largest landholders in the area of Daxiangguoji Temple, the monks, became wealthy.

Of course, if they only rely on the land lease of the temple, the monks can only be considered a little rich in Bianliang, where there are many powerful people.

However, the fact is that the monks of Daxiangguo Temple are not only the richest monks in the Great Song Dynasty, they are also a top-level chaebol in this Bianjing City, and the scale of their total assets is not much better than any of the six thieves.

The wealth of the Great Xiangguo Temple is not a secret in Bianjing, and the officials and the people have long been surprised by such a rich monk, mainly because the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple made a fortune very well - before the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Xiangguo Temple was already in Bianjing, and later the Great Song Dynasty opened the country, and the Great Xiangguo Temple was positioned as a royal temple, and the past dynasties have rewarded the Great Xiangguo Temple, including reputation, money and land.

Gradually, the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty were rising, and Bianjing began to become a top big city, and the Great Xiangguo Temple with a superior geographical location naturally became the commercial center of Bianjing.

At the beginning, the monks were not good at business, and even did not operate, but only collected some meager rents for the merchants who occupied the temple land, but the merchants were pervasive, and they took advantage of the temple's great monks to not understand business to rent the temple land and houses, and also used the name of the temple to take advantage of the wharf to make a windfall.

Daxiangguo Temple was once notorious by these merchants, and then the great monks woke up, and began to regain the commercial control of the Daxiangguo Temple and the merchants launched a game for several dynasties, the monks are generally quite wise, the abbots of the past dynasties are monkey spirits, after several generations of efforts, finally in the generation of intelligent monks, the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple have completely mastered the commercial control of the Daxiangguo Temple area.

Speaking of which, the reason why Daxiangguo Temple has the status of today's big chaebol is due to the management of those merchants at the beginning, otherwise the monks don't know how to operate the Bianjing waterway wharf with huge throughput, let alone invest in various industries near Daxiangguo Temple.........

Now the business model of Daxiangguo Temple has been formed, and the monks of the inner courtyard are in charge of finances, and they usually mainly chant sutras and worship Buddha; The lay disciples of the outer court are mainly responsible for the business of showing their heads, and they are no different from ordinary merchants. As long as the monks operate step by step, they will be able to make money.

It is worth mentioning that although the Great Xiangguo Temple is the top chaebol in Bianjing, its roots are still the Buddhist family that pays attention to compassion, so the Great Xiangguo Temple is also the largest charity in Bianjing and even the Great Song Dynasty, the temple is open to visitors for free, not to mention, the temple has a fixed day every month to give alms and eat to the poor, and almost all the temples in the Great Song Dynasty have been funded by the money of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

What is the repair of the temple, the golden body of the Buddha statue, and the opening of the altar......... As long as there is a temple to do these things because of insufficient funds to find the Great Xiangguo Temple, the Great Xiangguo Temple will basically give funding.

…………

Therefore, Daxiangguo Temple has such a good reputation, and it is such a top chaebol, and it is also an important deposit customer of Wuzhi Dasong Bank......... Now that the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple has come to visit in person, Wu Zhi can't be seen no matter what.

"Smart monk, haha!"

Xue'er was sticking to Wu Zhi, exhaling like an orchid and helping Wu Zhi change his clothes, when she heard Wu Zhi laughing at herself, she asked puzzledly: "Official, what are you laughing at?" ”

Wu Zhi blinked at Xue'er and didn't answer, in fact, Wu Zhi laughed because of the word "intelligence", but the word "intelligence" was redefined in later generations, and now the little beauty Xue'er of the Song Dynasty naturally doesn't understand Wu Zhi's laughter.

"I heard that the master of intelligence is highly respected, and you should be more dignified when you meet the master later." Cher instructed.

"Well, I know that in front of the master, I will be pious."

Hooking Xue'er's upturned nose, Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Except for being indecent in front of you, aren't the officials of your family all dignified everywhere they usually go?" ”

"Cut, you know yourself that you are ......... sanctimonious," Cher scoffed.

…………

Out of the room, on the way to the living room, thinking of the intelligent monk he was about to meet, Wu Zhi raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

Sanctimonious...... Who in this world is not sanctimonious?

As the head of the Bianjing chaebol, the dark group under Wu Zhi naturally has detailed information about the smart monk, both bright and dark.

There is nothing to say on the surface, the image of the intelligent monk is just as Xue'er said - a master who is highly respected, not worldly, and guarded like jade.

However, the information in the secret made Wu Zhi secretly speechless, not that the intelligent master had done anything hurtful, but after the investigation of the secret group, it was learned that the intelligent master had been married for many years behind his back, and he also married two wives, one of the two wives gave birth to a son for him, and the other gave birth to a daughter for him, and now the two children of the intelligent master are seventeen or eighteen years old!

This is also when Shi Qian inadvertently discovered when he first investigated the intelligent monk, the family of the intelligent monk has been secretly arranged by the intelligent monk in a house next to Qionglin Yuan in the suburbs of Bianjing, where there is a Taoist temple not far away, and the intelligent monk will go to the Taoist temple every seven days to visit the old friend of the old Taoist chief, in fact, he is from the Taoist temple secret path home and reunite with his family...... Shi Qian really inadvertently spied this secret from the old Taoist.

After learning about the secret of the intelligent monk, Wu Zhi was only secretly surprised for a while, he did not look down on the intelligent monk because of this, and he never thought of using this to blackmail the intelligent monk.

Although Wu Zhi knew that if he made good use of this handle, he would definitely make the Great Monk obediently obey, because once this kind of thing was exposed, the Great Monk would definitely be ruined, and it would be a great threat to his wife and children.

This is equivalent to Wu Zhi indirectly mastering the big chaebol of Daxiangguo Temple without much effort, which is too helpful for Wu Zhi's career!

However, Wu Zhi does not intend to do this, the reason is very simple, the great monk of the family has just secretly become a family, which may sound unacceptable, but think about it carefully, the great monk of the wisdom of the family has no extravagance ****, let alone a traitor, marrying a wife and having children is human nature, and the great monk is at best just violating the rules and precepts of the temple.

Wu Zhi is not a Buddhist person, what does it matter to him if he violates the precepts or something, why does he bother to embarrass the great monk with this matter?

"Haha!"

Before he knew it, he had already walked to the door of the living room, and with a chuckle, Wu Zhi strode in.

Although he would not use this matter to blackmail the great monk, after knowing this matter, Wu Zhi's imagination of the intelligent great monk was not so lofty, but became real.

"Master, I've been waiting for a long time!"

As soon as he entered the living room, Wu Zhi saw a fat bald head wearing a brocade blue robe, followed by only a small bald head in a yellow shirt with ten hands next to the fat bald head, one long and one less bald head sitting and standing, looking quite indescribable Zen.
