"Wait, wait!" The abbot hurriedly jumped out to stop him.

"You dare to stop me, it's not a small courage!"

"No, no, I'll take you in, don't rummage." These soldiers are not light or heavy, and many things in the temple are very precious, although these soldiers look down on them, but they still cherish them very much.

Wang Xuan nodded and didn't care, what he wanted was money.

Seeing that Wang Xuan agreed, the old abbot breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the large, medium and small monks to take Yu Leyou's soldiers in, while he himself personally led Wang Xuan towards the treasury.

"Mr. Wang, you go to see it in person, you really don't have that much money, why don't you believe me." As he walked, the abbot was still muttering.

"Believe in your mouth? You can get there! "Speaking of fooling people, these bald thieves are especially professional," "Okay, don't talk nonsense, dare to lead the way." ”

The abbot can't help it, the group walked quietly for a long time, the temple is very large, after all, there are more than 400 people, there are no buildings in this era, plus various halls and buildings, etc., the whole temple has more than 50 acres, about 40,000 square meters.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, Wang Xuan stood at the door of the treasury and looked at the old monk and sneered, "The temple is quite big, and there are a lot of people!" ”

The abbot was stunned for a moment, and then his heart tightened, although he didn't understand what Wang Xuan meant, but he could obviously feel that Wang Xuan had bad intentions.

But this ...... What's the problem with the large number of people in the temple?

It can only show that our Buddhism is prosperous!

"Alright, open the door."

Hearing Wang Xuan's order, the old abbot didn't think much about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the chain lock, the heavy mahogany door was pushed open, and the sunlight outside the world fell directly into it, Wang Xuan saw piles of dark green hills, and all kinds of boxes neatly stacked next to it, and there were non-wooden shelves on the side of the wall, all of which were made of golden silk nanmu, and neatly placed all kinds of treasured treasures and antiques.

Wang Xuan didn't look at the old monk either, he walked in, and when he walked in, he found that those dark green ones were all copper coins, and the ropes tied on them had rotted away, and the copper coins were full of green patina.

Damn, waste, this money can't be circulated in the market, it can only lie here and rust, it's really blind to its attributes as money.

Walked to the side, kicked off the lock on the box, opened the box to see, full of silver and gold, and then looked back at the golden silk Nanmu shelf, scrolls, antiques of all kinds, reached out and picked up a pair of scrolls to open, a pair of books.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, the word is ...... Wang Xuan frowned and wanted to find an adjective, but he could only see that it was good, and he didn't know where it was, and thousands of praises finally turned into two words.

He rolled up the scroll, put it back, and turned to the tax collector outside, shouting, "Come in and take a good count." He raised his foot and kicked the copper coin mountain on the ground, "Don't worry about this pile of things, pull them all back and rebuild them in the furnace." ”

What do you mean by leaving it alone?

The abbot wanted to roar, these copper money mountains are also worth a lot of money!

It's just that I didn't dare to object after all.

Walking out of the treasury and looking at the abbot, Wang Xuan said, "Move a few chairs, do you just let me stand like this." ”

Damn, you're so tired from coming to my temple to search...... Why don't you die, the old abbot took a deep breath and instructed the people around him: "Don't go quickly, get the tea from the temple and make it for Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Xuan looked at the abbot with a smile, "You're going to be able to do something!" ”

The abbot smiled and didn't feel ashamed at all, "If Mr. Wang can come to the small temple, it must be full of brilliance, how dare the poor monk slacken." ”

"Your level of doing things here, when you are a monk, are you interested in being vulgar, even if you are old, I can arrange a four-grade prefect for you to do."

"Mr. Wang is in love, the poor monk is old, and he doesn't want to do anything again."

Wang Xuan's face suddenly turned cold, "Since that's the case, then let's talk about something else." ”

"......" This special change of face is too fast, the abbot's face changed, the corners of his mouth twitched, damn, what is this devil, how to say it, it will change.

"Take out the roster in your temple, and call all the monks who are okay in the temple."

"This, what does this mean!"

"Ask so much what to do, let you do it, I, Wang, am the most law-abiding, as long as you have no mistakes or omissions, there will naturally be no problems."

The abbot had no choice but to order his side to do it, and it didn't take long for more than 300 monks to gather over, all of which were nothing important, and another thick roster was also taken.

Wang Xuan also took out a roster around him, but it was the list of two Buddhist and Taoist sects in Xinghua Mansion registered in the hands of the Xinghua Mansion Monk Gangsi, of course, they were basically Buddhism, and there were only three or two cats and cats in the Daomen.

Nan Shaolin's roster was handed over to the scribe who followed Wang Xuan, but Wang Xuan got up and came to the group of monks, walking a lot, and suddenly looked at the abbot and said: "Old monk, according to the regulations of the "List of Affirming Buddhism" promulgated by Hongwu in the 24th year of my Ming Dynasty, many of you here wear the wrong color of clothing. ”

"What's the situation with you, despise the law of the country, and don't take me in your eyes?" Wang Xuan suddenly became stern, which startled the old monk.

Only then did he remember that there was indeed such a regulation, which was a law promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to restrict the development of Buddhism in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, but for more than 200 years, no one cares about it and no one implements it, or rather, this law has long been forgotten, if he is not the abbot, he will not know that there is such a law.

This is the same as the Ming Dynasty also stipulated that merchants could not wear silk clothes.

The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration. Volume 4 says that in the fourteenth year of Hongwu: "The intention is to emphasize the original and suppress the end, and it is ordered that the peasant family is allowed to wear yarn and silk cloth, and the merchant family is only allowed to wear cloth." In the peasant house, if there is a merchant who is a merchant, he is not allowed to wear veil. ”

In other words, it was a crime for a merchant to wear silk clothes (only cloth clothes could be worn).

Now Wang Xuan brought up this matter, obviously deliberately trying to find fault, but he couldn't say anything, the law of the country is the law of the country, since this decree has not been abolished, then these monks are breaking the law.

It's just that this is too much to use chicken feathers as an arrow, according to this, there is no merchant who does not break the law.

But if you really want to take it out and talk about it, there is really nothing the old abbot can do.

"Take it away!" Wang Xuan gave an order, and immediately a soldier went up to get people.

The abbot immediately became anxious, stretched out his hand to stop him, and shouted in his mouth, "Wait, I must have just been in a hurry to wear the wrong person's clothes, and I changed them immediately!" ”

These soldiers didn't hear Wang Xuan say stop, so naturally they didn't care about the old monk, they just brushed off his hands and walked over, the old abbot didn't dare to really stop him, otherwise, with his first-class skills, how could he be pushed away by the soldiers.

Quickly turned his head to look at the crowd, those soldiers went to arrest people like wolves and tigers, and those who were arrested were at a loss, who knows what will happen if they are caught, what if this demon directly makes people kill them?

The more unknown the more frightened, and the more no one has come to provoke Shaomu Temple, these guys have no experience in this kind of thing, and they will immediately resist.

The frightened abbot's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and he hurriedly shouted: "You are not allowed to resist, the crime is not death, resistance is to resist arrest, you can't rebel!" ”

Wang Xuan watched Zhile from the sidelines, "Yo, old monk, you are quite sensible, hehe, if anyone really dares to resist, it will be killed!" ”

Wang Xuan smiled when he spoke, but the murderous aura in his words was extremely heavy.

The old monk is also helpless, beside this demon king, he must not make mistakes, not at all.

After a while, more than 50 people were arrested, and seeing the abbot's eyelids jumping, he hurriedly walked to Wang Xuan's side and asked, "Mr. Wang, is this ...... Admit punishment in our temple, admit punishment. ”

"Admit punishment." Wang Xuan thought about it for a while, this kind of wrong clothes, the heaviest can indeed be sentenced to death, but it is wearing 'Xuanhuang' colored clothes, the monk's words, it is really not a big problem, however, Wang Xuan looked at the old monk and said: "Do you still have money, you will admit the punishment!" ”

The old monk was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the treasury, a group of people were rummaging through the cabinets inside, and he suddenly felt distressed, it's over, there's no money, it's all gone!!

Blue thin, shiitake mushrooms......

"Hmph, old monk, I will send you a twenty-four-character mantra - there is no capital crime, there is no escape from the living crime, the state has national laws, the family has family rules, violations must be investigated, and law enforcement must be strict!" Wang Xuan said with a cold face: "Take them all back, and labor reform for a year!" ”

One year, the abbot breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he knew that this labor reform was made by Wang Xuan, saying that if the prisoner was only imprisoned, he would not get a lesson, and waste money and food, so he should let the prisoner work, firstly, to satisfy his own consumption of food and drink, and secondly, he could also exercise his physique, so as not to fall ill and die in the dark cell.

These monks are strong and strong, and the labor reform is completely fine, but it is just a little embarrassing, and it is also a blow to the prestige of their Buddhism.

This side has been entangled for a long time, and on the other side, the roster comparison has also come out, there are more than 400 people, and there are less than 50 people on the register......

Wang Xuan took it and immediately turned cold, looked at the old monk and shouted: "What a bald donkey, there are so many fake and shoddy monks!" ”

This roar suddenly made the abbot's heart skip a beat, but it was just ...... It seems that something is wrong, when did Shaomu Temple have fake monks??

"How can this be, these are all real monks, the shortest ones have been practicing in the temple for two years." The abbot was in a hurry, and the sweat came down.

"I don't admit it yet!" Wang Xuan shook the roster in his hand, "The Monk Gang Division only registered the names of 50 people, and issued more than 50 scales, and you still said that there are no fake monks!" ”

The Sangha Division is in the capital, and the prefectures have set up the Sangha Division, the state has set up the Sangha Division, and the county has set up the Sangha Division, which specializes in managing monks and distributing degrees in various places, but in fact, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no one to manage the Sangha Division.

As soon as Wang Xuan's voice fell, the abbot was stunned for a moment, indeed...... Except for a few people, there is no degree, but, it's special, it's been more than a hundred years, when do you need to go over, unless you want to go out to travel, go to various places to preach the scriptures, otherwise, where is there still thinking about doing a degree, and no one has checked it at all!!

I don't blame him for this, since the previous presiding abbot, he didn't do anything excessively, and no one checked it, and the procedures were basically costly......

If Wang Xuan hadn't mentioned it today, he would have forgotten about it, but according to the law of the country, there are more than 400 people in the temple, only about 50 are real monks, and the others are fake, and this fake monk is a felony......

No, why don't you have a degree!?
