The personnel turmoil in Chang'an City, seeing that it can't be finished for a while, it is estimated that it will have to be delayed until next year, and Li Tai can't wait.

In the current situation, there is no need to think about continuing to go out to suppress bandits, and it just so happens that some Hui helped to bring the goods back, and Li Tai plans to take advantage of this spare time after the year before the year to completely digest this batch of personnel and goods.

After all, no matter how much money there is, if it can't bring about real power growth, it will also be saved for others. Yuwentai is all about getting rich and then expanding the army, and Li Tai can't lag behind either.

Li Tai looted nearly 500 truckloads of goods from the two temples, and relied on the more than 2,000 craftsmen and their families captured in the Hongfa Temple, plus the hundreds of people mobilized by Mao Shijian in the township, to transport these goods to Beihuazhou.

When he returned to the Bafu, most of the supplies were taken away by Yuwen Tai. Li Tai was already unhappy in his heart, of course, he didn't care about transportation, but he just sent a message to the subordinates who stayed in Beihua Prefecture to classify the goods and wait for the overlord to send people to transport them, and he finally only had more than 100 cars left, including more than 2,000 prisoners.

Yu Wentai didn't ask much about the prisoners, after all, he was not short of people, and he had to bother to settle and feed him if he came. Therefore, this group of personnel Li Tai is completely retained, although Yu Wentai does not care, but in his opinion, this is the biggest wealth gained from this trip.

Temples are also a kind of large manor economy, because of the ideological control brought about by religious beliefs, the exploitation of these temple slaves and monks is more than that of the local tyrants who are the owners of large estates.

As a result, almost all of these temple slaves have a skill, and those who do not have skills are almost not qualified to live in the temple, and can only be serfs in the manor.

Of the more than 2,000 captives, excluding the old and infirm, women and children, there were more than 1,500 young and strong craftsmen alone. Among them, a considerable number of them were devout believers, who deeply hated Li Tai's hatred for destroying the temple, and several riots broke out on the way.

Li Tai was not soft on this, and showed the heads of dozens of people who took the lead in fanning, plus enough food and drink all the way, and Enwei and Shi controlled the crowd.

But it will take many years to completely regain the hearts of the people and become their loyal subordinates. Li Tai is not in a hurry about this, although the Buddhas have great powers, they can only bless the believers in the next life, but as long as they obey him, they can live a good life at the moment, which is better or worse, each chooses.

Of the more than 1,000 craftsmen, more than 200 are skilled in burning, smelting, and forging utensils. The fame of casting Buddha statues in Hongfa Temple has little to do with the monks who are full of food and chanting, and they are all earned by their hard work. Although the skills of other craftsmen are not too refined, they can all be guaranteed to be qualified.

In addition to casting Buddha statues, of course, they can also cast other utensils, which happens to be the talent that Li Tai is in dire need. With these talents in place, the smelting and casting workshop in Baishuizhuang will be able to produce a lot of money in the spring of next year, and Li Tai will no longer have to go around to buy ordnance and expand the army.

In terms of materials, the income from Kobo Temple is mainly made of various metals. As the largest Buddha statue casting base in the north, the gold stored in Hongfa Temple is more than 3,000 catties, and Li Tai has been extorted a lot, but there are still more than 1,000 catties left, and more than 4,000 catties of silver.

As for copper and tin, the reserves are even more exaggerated. The Maitreya statue ordered by Li Tai alone when he entered the temple weighed thousands of catties, and the hundreds of Buddha statues enshrined in the Thousand Buddha Hall that the monks showed off to him added up to more than 100,000 catties, plus various storage materials, more than 200,000 catties.

Copper tin and the like are easy to cast and process, in addition to the consumption of the Buddha, it is also widely used in daily life, copper furnaces, copper basins, copper bells, copper mirrors and car driving components. But its most important use, of course, is to mint coins.

The copper and tin metal seized by Li Tai alone can be minted into money, even if it is a full weight of five baht at any cost, it can be minted into tens of millions of coins. If you do a little weight reduction and dope some other materials, the income will be doubled.

Extending to the entire Kansai region, it is conceivable that the copper and tin materials harvested by Yuwentai alone are extremely amazing, which is enough to carry out monetary and financial reforms, so that copper coins can once again become a stable currency for trade and exchange in Kansai.

Li Tai also asked Yu Wentai if he had such a plan, but Yu Wentai shook his head. The hegemon faces many problems, and the degree of harm caused by currency chaos is not high.

Moreover, if you want to reform the currency, it is not just as simple as minting enough money to put into the market, but also requires the cooperation of the government in all aspects such as legislation and administration, and it is difficult to do without a stable social and people's livelihood foundation.

The slightest carelessness will evolve into a bad government that loots people's property, and Yuwentai is not short of money now, and he doesn't have so much energy to operate, so he doesn't have much enthusiasm for this matter.

Knowing that Yuwentai had no idea of reforming the currency, Li Tai did not leave too much copper metal, and only left more than 40,000 catties. After all, you can't follow the policy to make another payment, it's useless to leave too much, and it's too conspicuous.

In addition to these metallic materials, the larger savings in the temple are spices and dyes. Li Tai left more than 200 stones of spices and more than 500 stones of pigments. Although this may seem like a small number, the actual value is far more than the sum of gold, silver, copper and tin.

The value of pepper in the Middle Ages was well known, and the value of pigments should not be underestimated.

Brightly colored minerals such as lapis lazuli and turquoise can be used as gemstone ornaments and can be ground into pigments. Even in the later generations, the mining industry was developed and the logistics were convenient, and the price remained high, with one gram reaching hundreds or even thousands of yuan, and the value was only high nowadays.

Li Tai is not talking about grams, but about stones, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties, and a few hundred stones are tens of thousands of catties. Although the quality and value of pigments vary, the total amount is so large that it is also an astonishing asset.

Others, such as pearls, jade, crystals, etc., also have dozens of boxes, and Li Tai doesn't bother to calculate their value, in short, they are very expensive. In addition, there are more than 2,000 horses of high-quality silk brocade, which are exchanged for silk used for buying and selling, and tens of thousands of horses.

These are the harvests left over from Li Tai's Beidi and his party after being blackmailed by Daxingtai, although there are many grains and silks, but they are too much of a place, and the consumption of this line is removed, and the rest of Li Tai is handed over to the overlord.

Anyway, Yuwentai guarantees that the cost of the two defense cities in the coming year will be borne by the overlord, and Li Tai does not have to keep too much, all of them will be transported to the overlord, and the total amount of materials can be propped up to cover up the fact that he has eaten his own pockets.

In short, after this wave, Li Taike is no longer the poor boy who panicked all day long for money and food.

That is, Kansai does not have any personal asset rankings, if there is really a ranking of Li Tai, it has to jump straight up like a rocket, at least in this rich list under the age of 20, it is a dream to dare to do one to protect two and fight for three.

Even the princes and clans of the Yuan Wei Dynasty in Chang'an City may not be able to have such a solid private wealth as him.

Of course, there is still a lot of water in his actual level of wealth. Although the value of various materials is huge, it is not a medium of exchange that can be directly used for circulation, and because the total amount is huge and the use is narrow, once a large number of sales are realized, it will inevitably bottom out the market.

It must be said here that temples were really the most economically minded group in ancient times, and many advanced financial and market operations originated from temples.

The reason why Li Tai was able to get so many high-end luxury goods in Hongfa Temple was because the temple wanted to cover the city and create a religious quest. They control large quantities of goods, sell them little by little to believers, and reap the wealth for a long time.

Scarcity is artificially created, and the demand in the market comes from the religious environment of Shamen Dachang, so a considerable part of the price of these materials is to pay for the faith.

If Li Tai wants to sell it to the outside world, the actual income is far from reaching the theoretical value, so if he wants to realize it, he also needs a means of packaging, in order to shorten the gap between reality and ideals.

"Or do you want to build a temple?"

This was not an accidental thought of him, he had similar thoughts very early on. After all, the temple is really fast to make money, and now there is an actual need to sell stolen goods, so Li Tai also thought about it seriously.

First of all, this temple cannot be built in Guanzhong, and the religious forces in Guanzhong also have their own regional scope, and it is very difficult to build it without paying protection money. Of course, Li Tai doesn't do anything to spend money, not to mention that he still wants to force his face, and he doesn't want to leave an image of worshipping Buddha and Buddha.

If he wants to avoid Guanzhong, then the remote area that his tentacles can reach at the moment is northern Shaanxi. If you want to do it in northern Shaanxi, then you can think more openly, northern Shaanxi is vast and sparsely populated, and the believers that can be attracted are mainly Jihu.

Then, building a Liu Shifo temple has a natural attraction to Jihu, which can not only hold money at those Jihu Hao chieftains, but also add a restraint and control means.

As for saying that the imperial court classified Liu Shifo as a Yin worship, it is not to hurt your feelings, but to correct your beliefs. I'll give you an example of building a big temple, and you will come here to worship in the future, and don't mess around with yourself.

Anyway, the purge operation and money that were carried out by this have already been received, so there is no need to continue to maintain it.

It hurts the majesty of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with the overlord or my Li Dadudu, as long as you are willing to pay the money, you can continue to worship, and I even provide you with the materials for worshipping the Buddha here.

Li Tai is not embarrassed because of his backtracking, after all, he is fat by breaking his word, as long as he can eat enough and take care of those, not to mention that everyone doesn't know that he was the one who took the lead in the previous matter. If he wants to gain a foothold in northern Shaanxi in the future, he must also pay attention to the differentiation and integration of the Jihu forces, so this matter is really troublesome.

He was thinking about waiting until the turmoil in Chang'an City passed, so he proposed to Yuwentai to build a Liu Shifo temple in the withering yin in the upper reaches of Luoshui, and set up a defense city nearby. When the time comes, one hand of Buddhist scriptures and the other hand of steel knives, I will ask those Jihu tribes which one to choose!
