Xu Tiancai's eyes rolled, not to mention that he really came up with an idea.

"The master is merciful, the disciple knows, but it also costs a lot of money to worship the spirit card, as a son of man, he should bear it himself, the master can help chant the scriptures excessively, it is already a great grace, how can you let your temple break the cost!"

Liao Zhen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, chanting and practicing is the duty of a monk." It's just that the donor has it, but if it becomes the price, wouldn't it be against the original intention. Hey, it's all the old monk who owes it to consideration! ”

"No!" When Xu Tiancai came, Xuchen led him from the side hall to worship the Bodhisattva of Jizo, the cleaning was spotless, the cigarette smoke was swirling, flowers and herbs were placed, and the bell was faint, like Elysium. There are also delicate mahogany shelves on both sides, if you can put the old father's spirit card on it, it won't be long before you can enter the Elysian World, he is definitely the most filial son!

"Master, the disciple has an idea, you might as well divide the position into two parts, seventy percent for good men and women, the more they worship, the more sincere the heart of the Buddha will be, and there should be a reward. As for the other three percent, if there is really a filial son but can't get the silver, the master might as well make a big move to the door of convenience, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

After listening to it, he pretended to think about it, but in fact, he had already thought of it, but he just wanted Xu Tiancai to say it. Tang Yi couldn't help but stretch out his thumb outside the window and put it in the future generations, this is a typical example of participation theory!

Xu Tiancai's suggestion was adopted, which not only got respect, but also satisfied the desire to be a filial son, look at it, incense money is absolutely indispensable!

"The benefactor's method is wonderful, and the old man admires it. Even if your method is charity, Lao Wei immediately asked people to make spirit cards for Ling Zun, and put them in the first place. ”

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Tiancai almost cried, and said excitedly: "How can the disciple just rely on one mouth, I heard that your temple is being renovated, and the disciple is willing to offer 20,000 bricks and tiles, 50 pieces of wood, plus 20 stone japonica rice, and five buckets of sesame oil." ”

A few things add up, to say the least, it's worth two hundred taels of silver, it's a lot of money!

Li Zhen barely controlled his excitement, and said lightly: "Xuchen, take the donor to the incense." ”

"Yes, Master."

"What a trick to capture the old man, please enter the urn, the master is really powerful!" Tang Yi walked in from outside with a smile.

Zhen Zhen rolled his eyelids and said lightly: "Xiao Tanyue, Hui Ji is not long!" ”

"Each other, each other!" Tang Yi didn't care, he had already seen through it, this kid's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he wouldn't care what he said.

"Xiao Tanyue, what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, master, don't forget our agreement, split the account fifty-fifty!"

"Hehe, the monks don't speak, how much incense money is collected today, there will be half of Xiao Tanyue."

Tang Yi arched his hand with a smile and said, "I hope the master will keep his word!" ”

Seeing Tang Yi walk out of the quiet room, a thick smile appeared on his face.

"Little guy, it's still not enough!"

Since the morning, Tang Xiucai has been sitting in the corner of the side hall, and his eyes have hardly left a few merit boxes, among which the one who leans on the prayer mat has been filled twice! Even if it's all copper, it's not a small amount, and when converted into silver, there are twenty or thirty taels.

Rich, really rich!

As the sun set, as the last pilgrim left, Tang Xiucai shook his stiff body. Hurriedly walked to the back, Tang Yi's favorite place to go these days is the "Tongfan Deeds Monument", and he often sits for several hours.

Sure enough, Tang Yi was here again, looking at the mottled words in a daze.

"Yi'er! What a happy event! ”

Tang Xiucai patted his buttocks, pulled Tang Yi to sit on the stone steps, danced excitedly, and said: "Yi'er, dad has calculated, the incense money is at least two hundred taels of silver, and half of it will be given to us, and there are also one hundred taels, one hundred taels!" Tang Xiucai didn't know what to say.

"If there are so many every day in the future, we won't have to do anything."

Tang Yi smiled disapprehantly: "There will be such a day, whether it is now or not." Tang Yi said with a smile: "Today is the mid-year festival on the 15th day of July, and in a year, there can be more incense money than today, I'm afraid there are only a few days of Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival." Besides, Dad, do you always think that an idea alone can be exchanged for a cash cow? ”

"What? Could it be that the true master would lie? Tang Xiucai asked puzzled.

Tang Yi didn't answer, only said, "Look at it!" ”

While he was talking, Xu Chen ran over panting and said to Tang Yi, "Master is looking for you." ”

"Well, lead the way!"

Tang Yi walked quickly to the quiet room, and in a room next to it, several little novices were sweating and counting money. In front of them, the copper was almost piled up into a hill. The little novices had never seen so much money, and their eyes were wide and round, for fear of being taken by a cat.

"Master, the incense money is not bad, right?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.

Li Zhen sat in front of the table, took the account book from Xuchen's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tanyue, this is the account book, and there are still some scattered copper that have not been counted, so they will be calculated according to fifty taels, what do you think?" ”

"It's fair." Tang Yi said with a smile.

"That's good, today's incense money adds up to four hundred and thirty-one taels and two hundred and seventy-seven dollars, of which one of the donors rewarded fifty taels, two donors thirty taels, and a few more fifty taels and ten taels, and more are copper and silver, and the detailed accounts are here, Xiao Tanyue, please take a look?"

Tang Yi glanced at the account book, and suddenly smiled: "The master has profound skills, so he won't make a fuss about the accounts, I can trust you!" The implication is that the rest is hard to say.

From Tang Yi's indifference, there was a special detachment, as if everything had been seen through by him, it was naturally uncomfortable, but there was no way.

"Little donor, in previous years, there were 100 taels of silver incense money on the Midyear Festival, and this year's old man worked hard to operate, and it is normal to increase some. Therefore, these silver are not all the credit of Xiao Tanyue, take a whole number, and leave three hundred taels for distribution, what do you think? ”

Tang Yi tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Master, as far as I know, there are many people who have given alms of grain, oil, bricks, wood, sand and stones, and these things are folded into silver, and there are two or three hundred taels, right?" ”

I was really stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said: "Xiao Tanyue, the kindness of the donors is priceless, the old man is not good to fold into silver, if you need it, just move half of it!" ”

It's really a big favor, Tang Yi almost spurted blood, he and his father, what do you want bricks and tiles to do, besides, if you move things from the temple, you won't be afraid of others poking your backbone! Tang Yi dared to say that if good men and women knew, just spitting stars could drown people!

"The master has a good method, the kid has admitted it, if you have any other arguments, move out!"

"It's a young man, and he's really bold. When Lao Wei talked to Xiao Tanyue at the beginning, he used the Midyear Festival as an experiment, and the incense money obtained was divided in half. ”

"That's right, what does the master have to say?"

Liao Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "The old man thinks that the little donor's method is not good, and the cooperation ends here!" The old man has already asked people to pack up the things you brought, and the little donor will bring them back! ”

What the? Not good?

Is there something wrong with my ears? With three hundred taels of incense money and so many rice bricks and tiles, what's wrong?

Playing with others and indulging in it, I don't want to eat that!

Tang Yi stood up suddenly, "Master, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"Amitabha, monks don't speak!"

Tang Yi stared at the truth, his head turned quickly, as the saying goes, the family doesn't love money, the more the better, and he really doesn't look like an exceptional person. Then why did he refuse.

Wait, he just said that the cooperation ended here...... I see!

Tang Yi calmed down instantly, took a sip of tea, and said with a sigh: "Master, good means, you want to leave the kid behind and get it yourself, right?" Anyway, the merit box is worthless, and the incense and candle ornaments are easier, just the cottage, why let me take half of the silver! ”

was pierced by his thoughts, his face turned red, and he simply kept silent. The quiet room suddenly became quiet, Tang Yi took a sip of tea, and suddenly smiled inadvertently: "Master, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome!" I can only have a day of mid-year festivals. ”

"Oh? That's right, the old man has to thank Xiao Tanyue. ”

"Don't be busy. Master, you have to promise me one thing, no matter what time comes, you can't say it! ”

To be honest, it is not fair to rely on this method to make money, once it is shaken out, Tang Yi's reputation will be ruined, let alone being an official, even the imperial examination will be in trouble. Therefore, Tang Yi only wants to get the first money, and does not want to be a long-term cash cow.

really closed his eyes and thought, in fact, he also thought the same, and when the matter spread, his reputation was ruined.

"Xiao Tanyue rest assured, Lao Wei is tight-lipped!"

Tang Yi arched his hand in a dashing manner, "Thank you, master." By the way, in the future, your temple will definitely need these incense candles and ornaments and the like, I entrusted the Zhu family and his wife to do this, they are honest and kind, that is, to earn a little hard money, they should give the poor a way to support their families. ”

In my true impression, Tang Yi is a shrewd, crazy, paranoid, and even a little ungrateful. Anyone else, who would have thought of threatening himself with the monk Gangsi, although Tang Yi's method worked, everyone was happy, but he was really uncomfortable, otherwise he would not have calculated Tang Yi so much.

"Xiao Tanyue, you have impressed the old man, you let the Zhu family come over to talk, as long as it is suitable, the old man will continue to use them." After saying that, he really took out one hundred and fifty taels of silver, thought about it, and added a big ingot of fifty taels, a total of two hundred taels, and sent it to Tang Yi's hand, and then sighed, and said with a sad voice: "Xiao Tanyue, the old man has been stumbling for decades, and nothing has been accomplished." When he came from Puji Temple, he made a wish to magnify the mountain gate and prosper Buddhism, which was also the last thing that Lao Qu could do in his life. There are some things that are too hasty, and I hope that Xiao Tan will understand. ”

Tang Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Master, the boy's family is poor, and my father is not good at management, so he will make this decision, and if you offend, please forgive me." When his mother Tang Yi soars, she must not forget the benefits of the master! ”

"Each other, each other!" One old and one young, one monk and one layman, laughing at enmity and hatred.
