Chapter 1037 Deception in the Tang Dynasty
Thanks: 08A brother's tip, thank you in the summer, but it's too late.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
'Yuan Tiangang' and 'Li Chunfeng' couldn't help but look at each other when they heard that 'Huang Shaohong' had people use a cart to pull thousands of Buddhist believers to a place eighty miles upstream of the Jing River.
It took a long time for 'Li Chunfeng' to smile and give a thumbs up:
"Acting as a master, unfathomable, Erlang's trick is really amazing!"
'Huang Shaohong' smiled:
"It's nothing, I was once young and ignorant, and I was fooled into petitioning, but I was pulled down in the wilderness of more than 100 miles on the outskirts of the city, Made, and when I found the car, my feet were blistered!"
'Li Chunfeng' naturally couldn't understand what he was saying, and asked:
"What room?"
'Huang Shaohong' didn't bother to pay attention to him, and casually fooled around, but the 'Yuan Tiangang' on the side was not on this, and muttered:
"Erlang, there are millions of people in Chang'an, even if the believers of Buddhism are not as good as the Taoist sect, there are hundreds of thousands, although you take thousands, I'm afraid it won't play a role!"
'Huang Shaohong' had a confident expression:
"What's the panic, the mountain man has his own clever plan, this time let him play the water and land law meeting completely in vain!"
This goods and 'Yuan Tiangang' and 'Li Chunfeng' muttered for a long time, and the two asked in surprise:
"Erlang, can this work?"
'Huang Shaohong' smiled:
"Just do what I tell you to do, and you'll know when you can!"
'Yuan Tiangang' looked at 'Li Chunfeng', who was helpless, looked around, walked into an alley, took out a few pieces of yellow paper from his sleeve, and urged the mana to fold up.
After a while, a few young monks with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, carrying tables and chairs, carrying gongs, and holding a pole flag, walked out of the alley, walked in front of 'Huang Shaohong', and bowed:
"I've seen Uncle Shi!"
'Huang Shaohong' pointed to the middle of the road:
"Put the stall there!"
A few little monks suddenly got busy, set up the tables and chairs, put the four treasures of the study, and erected a long banner behind the table, on which were written a few big golden characters:
'Avatar Temple Believers Service Center! ’
Then a little monk picked up the gong and kept beating it, which immediately attracted many people to come and watch.
'Huang Shaohong' waited until more and more people gathered, and when he asked what he was doing, he shouted loudly:
"Don't miss it when you pass by, today's water and land puja of Huasheng Temple should pray for the Tang Dynasty, for Your Majesty today, and for the people of the world!"
"That Daomen Zhang Tianshi, he actually wants to hold Luo Tian Dajiao and my Buddhism Gate at the same time, this kind of behavior is extremely evil!"
In recent years, there are still many people who believe in Taoism, and there was a sudden uproar on the street, and many people shouted:
"We'll go to see Luo Tian Dajiao in a while, who will go to see your water and land puja!"
These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Buddhist believers, and several people immediately shouted:
"What the master said is right, it was the imperial court that first held the waterway festival in Huasheng Temple, and Zhang Tianshi wanted to hold the Luo Tian Jiao, won't he change the day, I think it is deliberate......"
For a while, there was a quarrel between the two sides, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
'Huang Shaohong' shouted loudly: "Listen to me!" ”
His voice shook his heart, and everyone fell silent to hear what he had to say.
'Huang Shaohong' continued:
"Although the Daomen engage in vicious competition, but we Buddhism is not afraid, the slogan of our Buddhism is to purify all sentient beings, put the interests of believers in the forefront, the so-called road knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time, whether it is the Buddha is good, or the Taoist is good, I think everyone can finally distinguish clearly!"
Not giving anyone else a chance to speak, he continued:
"In order to give back to the vast number of new and old believers, my Buddhism specially held the activity of 'burning incense discounts' and 'donating one to draw inferences', so that the new and old believers, good men and women in Chang'an City can benefit and get benefits, as long as everyone participates in this activity according to the requirements, they can make a fortune......"
'Yuan Tiangang', who was mixed in the crowd, pinched his nose and shouted at this time:
"So what are we going to do?"
'Huang Shaohong' waved his hand, signaling everyone to be calm, and then said with a smile:
"Specifically, please listen to me carefully!"
"When everyone usually goes to my 'Huasheng Temple' to burn incense and make wishes, they have to make some incense money, or add some lamp oil money, right? Shaking lots to see hexagrams also costs an additional fee! ”
Listening to his words, everyone nodded, didn't it cost this money to burn incense in the temple, even if it was a marriage or something, it would cost a fortune.
'Huang Shaohong' said with a smile:
"This money is used to repair the temple and support the monks' cultivation, although it is all a blessing for the benefactors and believers, but for a long time, this is also a big burden!"
Having said this, many people nodded again and again, some of them or the elders of the family believe in Buddhism and burn incense, and spend a lot of money in the temple all year round, which invisibly increases the burden on the family.
'Huang Shaohong' saw that it resonated, and then said:
"It is for this reason that we, the abbot of the Avatar Temple, Master Kongci, have decided to hold an event to give back to the devotees on the first day of the water and land puja, which is now today......
"Let's talk about the 'incense burning discount' activity, as long as the donors pay a certain amount of incense money in advance now, and now register with the poor monks, and then go to the temple to burn incense and tell fortunes, they will be charged according to a discount!"
"That is to say, you will spend ten taels of silver to burn incense in the future, and when the time comes, you can deduct one tael from the incense money paid in advance, to be honest, donors, this activity is completely to take care of our believers, and the price of a discount can't even buy incense and candles, okay!"
When he said this, many believers were thinking in their hearts, and this calculation seemed really appropriate.
'Huang Shaohong' didn't wait for them to think clearly, and added another handful of firewood, which completely ignited the atmosphere.
"In addition to this 'incense burning discount' activity, we also have a 'donate one back two activity' as long as you donate sesame oil money here, you can receive double return at the Huasheng Temple when the waterway puja begins!"
"That is to say, if you donate one hundred taels of silver, you can go to the Huasheng Temple to receive two hundred taels of silver in a while!"
At this time, 'Li Chunfeng', who was mixed in with the other end of the crowd, opened his mouth and shouted:
"That's a good thing, a hundred taels is so much, you Avatar Temple won't cheat us out of money?"
This question is also something that everyone present is worried about.
'Huang Shaohong' smiled:
"The example of the poor monk is one hundred taels, but in fact, there is no amount of money to donate sesame oil, it is a heart, you donate a penny and donate ten thousand taels, in the eyes of our Buddhist disciples are the same!"
"Therefore, the poor monks do not encourage everyone to donate more, only donate a penny, and make a celebration for the water and land puja, and when the auspicious time comes, the donors go to the Huasheng Temple to participate in our puja, not only double the return, but also melons and fruits are offered, isn't it fragrant?"
'Huang Shaohong' said matter-of-factly: "Everyone listen to me, don't donate more, just donate a penny is enough!" ”
Over there, 'Yuan Tiangang' asked again:
"Then we are not believers in Buddhism, can we donate sesame oil money?"
'Huang Shaohong' has a harmless smile on his face:
"Of course, Buddhism is vast, welcome donors to join our big family, Buddha loves you, Buddha loves the world!"
After saying this, I pondered in my heart, as if there were some strings of words.
He turned and pointed to the table:
"Donors, now that the activity has officially begun, those who want to deposit incense money and donate incense oil money can register here, a penny is not too little, a thousand taels is not too much, and the poor monk suggests that everyone should donate a penny is enough!"
A strong man struggled to squeeze out of the crowd at this time, and shouted:
"I know you, the non-precept monk of Huasheng Temple, you are stupid when we are, double the return and don't donate more, can you make a fortune by donating a penny, Lao Tzu donates ten taels of silver, and I am not afraid that you will run away, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and Lao Tzu will go to get the money after a while!"
'Huang Shaohong' clasped his hands together and smiled:
"Donor, please register here!"
The strong man took out ten taels of silver, threw it on the table, and then gave his name.
The little monk on the side hurriedly registered the person's name in the sesame oil book, and then put the ten taels of silver in a bag on the side.
Then dozens of men, women and children stepped forward to donate sesame oil money and pre-deposit incense money!
Everyone in the world has the heart of the herd, and with these people taking the lead, the next moment many people are rushing to the front, and they have taken out copper coins and silver to donate sesame oil money.
What they didn't realize was that the men, women, and children who had taken the lead in donating money before had walked quickly into the surrounding alleys after squeezing out of the crowd and never appeared again.
In fact, these people and the few little monks around 'Huang Shaohong' are all 'Li Chunfeng's paper figures who use the technique of origami to form things.
'Huang Shaohong' used a method similar to that of the later Ponzi scheme.
The difference is because of the time relationship, he did not use interest to lure people up, but proposed to double the return of windfall profits, and then let 'Li Chunfeng' take the lead with paper people to lead these people into the urn.
This plan is actually very crude, if in the real world, you will be taught to be a human being every minute.
But in this world, it is the first time that such a novel deception has appeared, and there are still people who prove the identity of 'Huang Shaohong' as a monk, and those paper figures take the lead in arousing everyone's herd mentality, it is this seemingly simple deception that has achieved unprecedented success.
In less than an hour, the news of the double return of the Huasheng Temple and the pre-deposit discount of burning incense completely spread.
Some shrewd people don't believe it, but they can't stand the lobbying of the people around them, and the people spontaneously prove the identity of 'Huang Shaohong', and finally those who don't believe believe in such an unreliable thing under the brainwashing offensive of the people around them.
In less than an hour, 'Huang Shaohong' has been promoted from the beginning of his own introduction monk to the master of the prison of 'Huasheng Temple', and he himself didn't know that the monk was so promising and promoted so quickly.
In short, this donation stall is on fire, and in a short period of time, millions of taels of silver have been gathered, and more than 100,000 people have donated.
At first, it was still a small monk who was recording his name, but then it was not enough at all, and I don't know where dozens of little monks came, all of whom brought their own chairs, holding pen and ink and sesame oil books, and dozens of people recorded together, which barely coped with it.
Some officers and soldiers patrolling the city came to check, and when they saw that it was the monk of the Huasheng Temple who was doing something, they didn't see it, because they knew that the Huasheng Temple was very red in the eyes of the Holy Son of Heaven now.
Not only did these soldiers not care, but after hearing about the event, they also took out their purses and donated a lot of sesame oil money, waiting for double return, and 'Huang Shaohong' accepted all the orders.
There were more and more pieces of silver gathered, and if these many pieces of silver were piled together, there would definitely be people who would question the ability of the Huasheng Temple to pay.
But 'Huang Shaohong' had already thought of this, and asked 'Li Chunfeng' to perform the technique of origami, make a few ox carts, and wait aside, seeing that the silver was piling up a lot, he hurriedly shouted back to these people, and complained:
"Donors, don't donate anymore, don't donate again, we can't afford to pay in the Huasheng Temple, the poor monk asked you to donate a penny, you see that you all donate a tael of silver at least, you don't have such a advantage!"
As soon as he said this, the people immediately burst into laughter, and some people asked, "Then will you return the money?" ”
'Huang Shaohong' Harmony Road:
"The monks don't say anything, they say that they will return the money, then they will naturally return it, but they can't donate anymore, and they can't afford to return it if they donate again, the poor monk announced, this event is over!"
"Now the poor monks will collect the money and return to the monastery, and the donors can go to the Huasheng Temple with the poor monks to participate in the water and land puja, and receive double returns by the way!"
Hundreds of people applauded, and those who didn't have time to donate incense money sighed.
At this time, when they saw that 'Huang Shaohong' was going to take them to Huasheng Temple together, no one doubted the authenticity of the matter, and they all regretted that they had donated a little less.
Several 'little monks' had amazing strength, and quickly loaded those bags full of gold and silver onto the ox cart, and 'Huang Shaohong' got into a big cart at the front, and several ox carts were slowly moving forward, going in the direction of the Huasheng Temple.
At this time, whether they were Buddhist believers or not, as long as the people who had donated money had all followed the ox cart and went to the Huasheng Temple.
Halfway through, for some reason, a fog suddenly appeared, and in an instant, it was so thick that it was impossible to see the distance in front of me.
When the fog cleared a quarter of an hour later, the people found that the ox carts full of gold and silver were gone.
However, everyone didn't care, they just thought that the old cow knew the way, since it was the ox cart of the temple, and they could also distinguish the direction in the fog, and they had already gone to the Huasheng Temple at this time, so they just had to look for it in the Huasheng Temple.
More than 100,000 people walked along the street to the Huasheng Temple, and the scene was extremely amazing.
Xuanzang with 1,200 monks, worshiped the Buddha, saw the king, was about to ascend the Dharma platform, when the second scripture of the products was performed, there was a sudden shouting of Jin Wuwei and Yulin Army outside.
At the same time, there were hundreds of people's cries and scolding.
