    Tianyi Temple - In the lobby, Monk Shenguang is wearing cassocks and sitting in the middle. There are also more than 20 high-level monks such as the chief, the hall master, the supervisory courtyard, and the superintendent of the temple sitting on both sides, each with a brighter bald head.  , each face is more distressed than the last!

    It turns out that the monks gathered together not to hold rituals or to meditate on Zen teachings, but to take inventory of the temple property. There were also more than a dozen novice monks who were making calculations and flipping through account books in the hall

    ¡°On the seventh day of this month, a grand Buddhist ceremony was held, earning 364 taels of gold, and purchasing incense, lamp oil, gold powder and other valuables, and spending 258 taels of gold¡±

    "On the thirteenth day of this month, the rent for all the fields owned by the temple will be increased by 55%. After selling the grain, dried fruits, cattle and sheep, we will get a total of 650 gold!"

    "Another 530 tenants were unwilling to pay rent to the temple, tore up the lease contract, and injured six rent-collecting monks, one of whom was disabled"

    The novice novices were very meticulous in their calculations. Every time they calculated an account book, they would hand it over to the lobby. After the senior monks saw it, their expressions became even worse. They didn¡¯t expect that the wealthy Tianyi Temple would be in such a state of decline!

    I previously purchased a glazed Buddha statue and rented a relic, and borrowed a total of 138,000 taels of gold with an agreed interest rate of 3 cents. Now more than two months have passed. In addition to repaying the principal, there is also a monthly interest of 4,140 taels of gold.  , the interest for February is 4,264 goldif you don¡¯t repay the interest, the interest will skyrocket!

    I originally wanted to use the glazed Buddha statues and relics as a call to hold a few grand Buddhist services, so that believers could donate more money and materials, so that I could easily repay the loan. Unexpectedly, it backfired. Seven or eight Buddhist services were held, and the income was pitiful.  Woolen cloth!

    First, there was a sudden proliferation of glazed Buddha statues. Hundreds of temples inside and outside the city, ranging from one or two to five or six, were all holding Buddhist services. As a result, their appeal was reduced and the money for incense was greatly reduced!

    Second, the dignitaries of the imperial court no longer want to make donations to the temple, nor come to offer incense and worship Buddha. Monk Shenguang has visited many times, but all of them have been rejected. Is it really confusing for Zhang Erjingang?

    As a result, after more than two months of busy work, Tianyi Temple only earned more than 6,000 gold. Excluding Buddhist expenses and daily expenses there was only more than 1,000 gold left. Not to mention repaying the loan, even the negative interest was not enough.  The highest income among temples, some small temples simply cannot make ends meet.

    In desperation, Monk Shenguang could only order to increase rents and taxes for the shops and fields affiliated to the temple, and raised more than two thousand gold. However, this caused great dissatisfaction among the tenants, and some refused to hand over the rent.  Some simply quit their fields and started fighting with the rent-collecting monks.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that the temple¡¯s excessive taxation has caused the reputation of Buddhism to plummet. Many adherents have left one after another. Some people have written a verse saying what

    I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years, but he has never felt pity for me. There is no reason why the dust has obscured the Buddha¡¯s eyes. It¡¯s because I didn¡¯t invest any incense or money.

    The Buddha is not greedy for money?  Why is it worshiped by the world?

    The Buddha is not evil?  Why can't we tolerate the world's disrespect for it?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    We pay our respects and offer incense, praying for the disaster to go away!

    The Buddha said that people in the world have many lives, they are destined, and God¡¯s will cannot be violated!

    So, what¡¯s the use of worshiping you?

    This verse is easy to understand and catchy, and it quickly became popular in the streets. Regardless of men, women, old or young, whether literate or not, they can all shake their heads and recite a few sentences, which makes the Buddhist irony go to their bones!

    The monks were confused, but they had no countermeasures. They could only curse the writer while continuing to search for money. Anyway, they had torn off their face, so they just threw it on the ground!

    There is nothing we can do about it. In order to buy the glazed Buddha statues, the treasury of each temple is empty. Even if the loan money is not repaid, the monks still need to eat and clothe themselves, and the Buddha statues also need incense to worship. Where does this money come from?  Searching for believers!

    "Everything should be done within one's ability. Buying glazed Buddha statues and leasing relics is really too much!"

    "If we use all the temple property as collateral and cannot repay the loan, what should we do? Are we willing to be the sinners who destroy the temple?"

    "I heard about Tianyin Temple outside the city, so I didn't buy the glazed Buddha statue. Now everything is running normally. It seems that the old monk has a long-term vision!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Faced with a huge crisis, the monks discussed one after another, either whining and complaining, or criticizing Huaihuai. They all pointed at Monk Shenguang, thinking that his power made Tianyi Temple fall into trouble!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????It¡¯s over.

    Faced with the accusations from the monks, Monk Shenguang felt as if he was in the dark, but he could not shirk his responsibility. He was the one who bought the glazed Buddha statue, and he was also the one who rented the relics. He had to shoulder the blame.

    In fact, after the auction, Monk Shenguang regretted it and hit his hand several times with a gavel. He hated himself for raising his hand impulsively and signing the loan agreement. He was so confused!

    You may want to return the glazed Buddha statues and relics, but it is easier to invite the Buddha than to give up the Buddha. First, you are worried about being laughed at, losing the face of Tianyi Temple, and your position as the presiding officer will be difficult to protect.

    Second, the door of Wanbao Tower is tightly closed, and no refunds will be given for the goods sold. If the goods are returned forcibly, double the liquidated damages will be charged!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That but in recent times, a large number of glassware has been put on the market. There are a few pieces in the homes of powerful people and temples, but the price has been falling all the way. If you sell them, you will lose all your money!

    People want face, trees want bark, and Shenguang was about to argue a few words and save some face at least, when a young novice came flying over and reported an important message: "Wu Zhi is here to collect debts!"

    "A debt collector is here, what should I do? I heard that he is ruthless and will use any means to collect debts. He occupies fields, closes shops, moves things The clay Buddha squeezes out the oil, and is nicknamed: The sky is three feet high.  !¡±

    "I heard that the director of Luoxia Temple, Guyun, was forced too hastily by this person and actually committed suicide. All the temple property was confiscated and the monks were used as laborers. They will be released when they have enough money. But  With the compound interest, I won¡¯t be able to repay it in ten lifetimes!¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The monks are all crazy. It¡¯s not that they are timid, but that Wu Zhi is too terrible. The so-called ¡®the sky is three feet high¡¯ means that this man forced his way to the ground and scratched the ground three feet deep!

    Moreover, the monks also heard that the imperial court had formed a Taotie Army to prepare for a second expedition to the Western Regions, and all the money collected was used for military pay. Even if they were bold enough, they would not dare to default on the money they owed the imperial court. That would be beheading them.  !

    "Haha, it is a sin, a sin, to disturb the masters' Qing Dynasty. However, the army is about to go on an expedition and is in urgent need of money and food, so I have no choice but to come to the door shamelessly!

    "Besides, the Tianyi Temple family has a great cause, and a little bit of gold shouldn't be a problem. I hope all the eminent monks will have mercy on you and let me go back so that I can do business!"  "

    Amid hearty laughter, Wu Zhi slowly walked into the Buddhist hall, wearing a long tassel crown, a green silk robe, and a silver-printed green ribbon around his waist. He looked exactly like a Han captain!

    What¡¯s different is that while other captains wear swords or sabers, he holds a stack of account books and an abacus hanging on his waist, which jingles as he moves!

    A large number of soldiers followed behind them. In addition to swords, guns, swords and halberds, they also held crowbars, poles, ropes, scrapers They were eyeing the Buddha statues, big bells, and copper in the temple!

    "Amitabha, it turns out that Captain Wu is here. The poor monk has not been able to go out for a long journey. I hope you will forgive me and sit down inside to drink tea!"

    "There's no need to drink tea. Please clear the debt, Master!"

    "Well, this temple has already spent all its money on the purchase of glazed Buddha statues. Recently, the money for incense has not been strong, and I feel powerless to pay back the debt. Can I delay it for a few days and let the monk raise money again?"

    "Repaying debts is a matter of course. Tianyi Temple is extremely wealthy and cannot afford a fraction of the money. Master must be deliberately trying to shirk it. Could it be that he is colluding with the Buddhist country in the Western Regions to hinder the army's Western Expedition?"

    "I don't dare! I don't dare!¡ª¡ªThe poor monk would never dare, but he really has no money!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Seeing the debt collectors coming to the door, the senior management stepped back one after another. No one dared to touch this brow. Monk Shenguang had no choice but to come forward in person, serve tea to the guests, and beg with kind words, hoping to be granted some time!

    Who knows that Wu Zhiqiang is not willing to give in, but he refuses to be accommodating. He wants the monks to pay back the money, and even slaps him with a big label of "colluding with foreign enemies and obstructing the Western Expedition"!

    This frightens the monks. If they owe money, they can repay it. If they don¡¯t have money to pay for it, at least their lives are not in danger. Once they are accused of colluding with foreign enemies, the bald heads around their necks will not be saved!

    "Haha, I have a predestined relationship with Buddhism, so I don't want to force you too much. Since it's inconvenient for the eminent monks, I can give you a grace period of three to five days, but the interest must be paid back first, so that the lower officials can do business easily!"

    "Well, the interest will cost more than 8,000 taels of gold. Xiaosi really has nowhere to raise it. Can you give me some grace?"

    "Your temple is full of treasures. Raising money is a trivial matter. Since the masters are unwilling to do it, I am willing to do it for you - do it!"

    Wu Zhi no longer showed mercy and waved his hands violently. The soldiers immediately swarmed up and attacked the magnificent temple. They smashed the Buddha statues, lifted the bronze bells, smashed the doors, scraped the gold paint They really scraped the ground three feet away.  , do whatever you can!

    "After three days, the principal must be paid in full, otherwise I will not be so polite!"

    "Is this considered polite?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Okay, like Buddha statues, lifting bronze bells, smashing doors, scraping gold paint really scraping the ground three feet, doing everything possible!

    "After three days, the principal must be paid in full, otherwise I will not be so polite!"

    "Is this considered polite?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
