If you want to find money, you must first find the right target.

It is said that the Great Song Dynasty is the richest in all dynasties, but in fact, the people really don't have much money, and it is good to be full.

So who is rich in the Great Song Dynasty?

The royal family, the nobles, the scholars, the generals and the leaders, the monks, these are for sure, and the merchants are barely counted.

The royal family is Zhao Mengqi himself, so he doesn't have anything to do, and he also knows that the inner library seems to have something, but it is a bit troublesome to convert it into currency.

The last three are the ruling class of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can't be provoked for the time being, otherwise Jiangshan will immediately change his surname and get money from them, and he will have to use serious methods.

Then the monk said, rich is really rich, a degree will cost a thousand, and they will buy it without blinking.

But they have too much influence on the people, and they are good at demagoguery, and they have no position and principles, and they don't care which court the court is, so they can't be forced too hard.

Although you can't make a fuss, you can do it a little bit with some means.

Although this Tao is more respected by the Great Song Dynasty, and the benefits given are also generous, but in order to seek immortals, Taoist priests spend money more fiercely, and they are not good at management, so it is estimated that they can't keep any money in their hands.

It seems that at the moment, we can only start with the big monks who are full of fat brains.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Mengqi had a general idea.

The so-called horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth, although there must be a serious way to make money, but it is better to get money quickly.

Immediately, Zhao Mengqi summoned Gu Qing.

"Consultant, how many monks do we have in the Great Song Dynasty?"

Gu Qingzi Gu Yun, this Yun is a polyphonic word, which is used to make a general rhyme for names, but in order to avoid Zhao Yun's name, he reads Wen this time.

So, Zhao Mengqi called him 'Advisor Gu' in a bad taste, although Gu Qing felt that King Yan's accent was a little weird, he didn't dare to ask more.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the monks of our Great Song Dynasty are basically maintained at about 200,000."

"How many Buddhist temples are there in Lin'an? How many monks and nuns? ”

"There are about 600 monasteries inside and outside the city, and there are about 50,000 monks."

"Tsk, so much? The total number of people in the entire Lin'an should be less than two million, fifty thousand monks and nuns. ”

Zhao Mengqi was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked, and soon thought again, if these 50,000 monks and nuns can sell it again, it will be 50 million yuan.

Of course, the evolution of this thing in the Song Dynasty was a bit complicated, not only the identity of the monks, but also equivalent to the valuable securities of later generations, and even directly used as currency.

And these 50,000 monks and nuns must already have one, where can they buy another one.

But can this stump Zhao Mengqi?

"Advisor, how is the case of those demon monks in Bao'en Temple progressing?"

"There are a lot of people, but there are so many things that it will take a long time to figure out."

"That's a lot more related to them than other monasteries."

"What His Highness said is not bad, just directly spread rumors for them, poisoned, there are hundreds of people, and there are many temples involved."

The monks are not only chanting Buddha in the temple, in order to let the Buddha's light shine on the world, they also have to do some propaganda work, the more fixed is to walk the streets and alleys of the dawn of the Toutuo, as well as to go to the people's homes to send incense, do these things.

That's why it's convenient to spread rumors, demagogue, and poison thousands of people.

Zhao Mengqi thought for a while, "You should continue to investigate these temples and carefully inspect every monk!" ”

"Huh!?" Gu Qingren was dumbfounded, "Your Highness, how much manpower and time does this take, there's no need to do this." ”

"Hehe, in fact, it doesn't take long, you listen to me, you go to Taifu Temple to find Qian Taifu, and let him print two kinds of documents for you, one is issued to the temple, it is called Liang Temple, and the other is issued to monks, it is called Liang Monk."

Gu Qing was even more confused, but fortunately, Zhao Mengqi continued to explain, "This time, there is a nest of spies in Bao'en Temple, and the imperial court naturally has to learn from it and strengthen the management of the temple and monks, so your Imperial City Division naturally has to come to the door to supervise and inspect at all times, right." ”

"If they have a good temple certificate, they can naturally be exempted from such inspections, and if they want a good temple, they must have a good monk certificate in their name, and the two are linked to each other to guarantee! Now, do you understand? ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a while, and finally understood the meaning of it, looking at Zhao Mengqi as if he had seen a ghost, this His Royal Highness King Yan is really wilted!

I only heard Zhao Mengqi say leisurely, "Consultant, do you think it is more appropriate to charge for these two kinds of documents?" ”

"This, this... Please also ask Your Highness for instructions. Gu Qing couldn't figure out how much appetite Zhao Mengqi had.

Zhao Mengqi touched his chin, "Bao'en Temple can find out more than one million floating wealth, think of other temples will not be less, about 100,000 guan should be within the range they can accept, then that's it, the good temple does not charge the cost of work, but has to pay a deposit of 100,000 guan, as long as within ten years, the monks in the temple have not violated the law and discipline, and they will be returned to them at that time, as for the good monks, it is only half of the degree, five hundred guan." ”

What kind of deposit, is there any possibility of returning it after this is paid? There are also 500 yuan is not a small amount of money, what do you say 'as long'.

In this way, the reputation of the Imperial City Division and himself will be rotten.

Gu Qing's belly scolded, but he couldn't object, "Your Highness, in this way, these monks and nuns are afraid that they will say bad things about the court to the people every day." ”

"You're stupid!" Zhao Mengqi looked like he hated iron but not steel, "You can ask the people to report the monks who violate the law and discipline and slander the imperial court, and if the report is verified, you will be rewarded with a hundred times!" Then not only can the monks who commit crimes be punished, but also the security deposit of the temple to which they belong and the good temple certificate can be confiscated, understand? ”

"Uh...... Weichen, I understand, the temple still wants a good temple, so you have to pay the deposit, right? ”

Gu Qing is also a smart person, but he is not so shameless, and he hasn't turned a corner for a while before.

Zhao Mengqi was very pleased with Gu Qing's enlightenment, "Remember, anti-counterfeiting measures should be taken when making documents, and they should be numbered one by one, and real-name registration, each number only corresponds to one temple or one monk, which is well documented." ”

Then he sighed again, "Hey, if it weren't for the fear of forgery and fraud, I would have liked to add a seal to their original degree, which would save a lot of costs." ”

Gu Qing was speechless, although the production of this document and the paper and ink had to be specially made, and it would cost some money, but once this policy was implemented, it would have to get more than fifty or sixty million yuan, after all, there must be a few poor temples and poor monks.

"What if I run into someone who really doesn't have any money?"

Zhao Mengqi's eyes widened, "No money!?" If you don't have money, you're embarrassed to serve the Buddha? It's just vulgar, or you don't have to do hard labor, you can sweep the streets, and ascetics are also a kind of practice. ”

After being refreshed by King Yan again, Gu Qing had to smile bitterly, "Since His Royal Highness has entrusted him, Weichen has to go all out..."

"Don't be bitter, after you do it, you will be allowed to keep one percent of the Imperial City Si Ti!" Zhao Mengqi naturally knows that if he wants the horse to run fast, the whip and horse material are indispensable.

Hearing this, Gu Qing's wry smile immediately faded a little, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!" ”

"You can distribute some of it as a reward, but you have to keep some of it for funding, and when this is over, I want to add a burden to your Imperial City Division."

Zhao Mengqi hung out a tender and delicious carrot for Gu Qing again, and he couldn't help but work hard.

Sent Gu Qing away, Zhao Mengqi himself sighed, he knew that this method was a bit shameless, and it was easy to cause a lot of trouble, but some things had to be done.

After explaining the matter of quick money, Zhao Mengqi did not forget to make serious money.
