Chapter 17 The Way to Collect Wealth in Buddhist Temples! Endless!
Linggu Temple was in chaos in an instant,
Everyone was stupid.
There are only three questions left in my head,
Who am I?
Where am I?
What are they going to do?
This is the capital!
This is Linggu Temple!
Under the leadership of Sappy,
A piece of blood rushed into this pure place in an instant.
There are both monks and nuns in Linggu Temple.
And this way of cultivation,
It's one family all day long.
Mingjiao.
Combined with the fact that this is the first temple that Zhu Yuanzhang personally sealed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty,
I can't help but think about it.
but
This group of tigers and wolves doesn't care so much, rushing into the Buddhist temple is a smash,
Oddly enough,
They don't beat people, they only smash Buddha statues.
The abbot of Linggu Temple was so anxious that he stomped his feet,
stepped forward to stop Lan Yu from smashing the Buddha statue,
But where can he stop Lan Yu, a madman?!
Lan Yu picked up the sledgehammer and slammed it,
These pro-soldiers are also extremely black,
In an instant, countless large and small Buddha statues were smashed to the ground!
Within a few minutes, Lan Yu took his own soldiers and walked towards the largest Buddha statue in the center.
These monks and nuns couldn't stop this group of people,
Sitting cross-legged in place, he began to recite the Buddhist scriptures,
With the devastation all over the ground,
There is a divine beauty!
Lan Yu plucked his ears,
smashed down towards the largest Buddha statue without hesitation,
A gilded Buddha statue with a compassionate face,
was smashed out of a big hole in an instant,
Countless treasures of gold and silver flowed out of the belly,
The chant froze suddenly.
Lan Yu grabbed a handful of gold and silver treasures,
Sweeping through the multitude,
"Linggu Temple is gone! You're all fucking vulgar! ”
"Sapphire! Then what the hell is the blue jade! ”
The riot in Linggu Temple here attracted a group of onlookers.
suddenly
A young man in the crowd widened his eyes,
Greeting the little brother beside him said,
"Sapphire is here! Go home and call someone! ”
Almost at the same time, the young man also swooped down on the blue jade,
Lan Yu shouted,
"Who the fuck are you?"
This young man's eyes were full of blood, and his eyes when he looked at Lan Yu were engraved with a sea of blood hatred,
"Who is Lao Tzu?! Lao Tzu is Lu Dan! ”
As soon as Lan Yu heard that this kid's surname was Lu, he threw down the sledgehammer,
Turn around and run.
Lu Dan chased after him like crazy,
"Sapphire!
You XXXX the whole family XXX! I XXX XXX! ”
Lan Yu covered her ears and ran wildly,
"Why are people so ugly when they don't scold people?
Your grandmother gave me a dream, saying that she wanted to bask in the sun,
You see
I'm kind enough to run an errand. ”
Lu Dan's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he fainted out of breath.
He roared hoarsely,
"Sapphire! I'll fuck you uncle!! ”
It's messed up,
The capital is in a mess!
..........
Fengtian Temple
Lao Zhu sealed the letters written to the vassal kings,
The letter was not only about the Shangtun Law, but also about some private goods.
"Your Majesty!"
The Jinyi guards commanded Jiang Zhen to walk in with frightened eyes.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly,
It's all up to this identity,
What's all the fuss?!
"Say."
Zhu Yuanzhang coldly spit out a word.
Jiang Zhen fell to his knees,
"Your Majesty, Linggu Temple has been robbed.
Those abbots and abbots are sitting in front of the outer palace! ”
"What?!!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he got up suddenly.
Linggu Temple?!
"Fuck! Who did this to you?!!
I don't know if we used to be monks?!
Rob temples on the streets!
Isn't this a fucking rebellion?!
Who!!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes erupted with anger, and Jiang Zheng's body trembled in fright.
That's too big!
Linggu Temple is the temple of the old Zhu Qinfeng,
Dare to rob Linggu Temple on the street!
Isn't this looking for death?!
"Yes, it's Your Highness..."
Jiang Zhen whispered.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, thinking that it was made by his eldest grandson,
The big grandson doesn't dare to see us,
That's when Jiang Zhen came to deliver the message.
After figuring out this verse,
The expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed,
Laughed
"Hahaha, it was Xiongying who did it.
It's not a big deal, tell the abbots of Linggu Temple,
Let's build them another temple. ”
Jiang Zhen shook his head and said,
"Your Majesty, it's another Highness."
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile froze on his face suddenly, and his face was gloomy and terrifying,
Asked
"Zhu Yunxi?"
Jiang Zheng nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon chair,
Angry Dao,
"Fuck! Is this little rabbit cub tightened?!
We didn't smoke him last time!
He still dares to talk to us here?!
Are we really used to him?!
Bring it to him! ”
Jiang Zhen bowed his head,
"Your Majesty...."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something,
Asked
"Does the eldest grandson know?"
Jiang Zhen nodded,
Said
"It's His Highness who let his subordinates get it."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he narrowed his eyes,
A little more playfulness in his eyes,
The eldest grandson is going to make trouble!
Zhu Yuanzhang has not touched these temples, just inheriting the old feelings of being taken in by the temples before,
In addition, Linggu Temple is very complicated,
So Zhu Yuanzhang left it until now.
Besides, how much money can the temple earn when it earns money?
Lao Zhu was a monk and knew him very well.
When I was a monk, I ate the last meal but didn't eat the next meal, so I was poor.
Therefore, Lao Zhu has never paid attention to these temples.
But
Lao Zhu didn't know,
The ruined temple he stayed in was completely different from the current temple!
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down,
"Why did Yunxi rob the temple?"
Jiang Zheng spit out two words,
"Destroy the Buddha."
Zhu Yuanzhang was frightened by these two words,
"Destroy the Buddha? Extinguish now? ”
Jiang Zhen learned from Zhu Xiongying's words and said,
"Your Majesty, you want to farm,
Now there is a shortage of people and money. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,
"We can understand the lack of people, just let them be vulgar.
What are you doing when you lack money to rob the temple? ”
Jiang Zhen said a number in a deep voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened slowly,
His voice trembled,
"This is what you searched from Linggu Temple?!"
Jiang Zhen nodded,
"There should be more."
A roar sounded in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears,
The gilded Buddha statue of this temple was made with a grant from the imperial court.
But
What Lao Zhu didn't expect was that
This group of monks who have been vegetarian all day long still have so much money in their hands?!
That's a lot of numbers!
And there are two Buddhist temples of this scale in Linggu Temple in Yingtianfu!
It is rumored that during the Hongwu period,
There are at least 1,000 large and small Buddhist temples in Yingtianfu!
And in the whole world, there are countless Buddhist temples!
Although most of them are left over from the previous dynasty,
But the Ming Dynasty had to spend money to repair and decorate!
Even if Lao Zhu has been deliberately controlling the expansion of Buddhist temples,
For example, 14 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first temple was enclosed in person.
But
Lao Zhu can't control rich businessmen and officials from throwing money into Buddhist temples!
During the Jianwen period,
Someone once suggested that Zhu Yunwen should deliberately restrict the land of monks.
Other words
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty,
The land of the temple did not belong to the imperial court, but to the monks!
Think about it,
What a terrible thing this is!
If it is a family,
As you have more children, you will have fewer and fewer children.
And the temple will not,
Because his property belongs to the temple,
belong to a large group,
It doesn't mean that just because someone dies, the temple's property will be reduced!
And the land doesn't just because someone dies and it doesn't take it back!
Light is Ying Tianfu,
There are more than 1,000 temples of all sizes,
It's hard to imagine how much land is occupied!
But
Few people will notice that
This is also a land annexation in disguise!
And it's even more evil than the merger of land!
Who was the richest in the contemporaneous West?
Bishop.
It's the same in Daming.
