People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 316 Sending Money
Dai Zhou of Dali Temple sat in front of Li Zheng, and said in a low voice: "The festival between you and Buddhism makes this old man have to doubt you. Of course, this old man will judge the case impartially and will never wrong you."

Li Zheng poured a bowl of tea for Dai Zhou, "There are rumors that it was a sunny day and thunder fell."

"I don't believe it." Dai Zhou said.

Dai Zhou was already very old, looking at his gray temples, Li Zheng said in a low voice, "I would like to ask you one more question, whether you always don't believe it yourself, or your majesty doesn't believe it now."

Taking a sip of tea calmly, Dai Zhou said in retrospect: "Your Majesty and this old man don't believe it."

Check it out, no matter how much you check, you won't find the relationship between saltpeter and sulfur, unless Emperor Ai of Tang comes out ahead of time.

"So that's the case." Li Zhengqiang nodded with a squeezed smile.

"Now that the temples have collapsed and been destroyed, you must be very happy."

"I can't say I'm happy." Li Zheng looked at the scenery of the stables outside the window and said, "People's sorrows and joys are not connected, I just think they are very noisy."

Dai Zhou stood up and glanced at Li Zheng again, then turned and left the room.

With the little official from Dali Temple, Dai Zhou left with a sullen face without saying anything.

Li Zheng's words are impeccable, and it's useless to talk to such a little fox.

The case this time is too bizarre. According to some monks in Dali Temple after investigations these days, when the temple collapsed, there were only a few loud noises, as if something had been knocked out of the ground.

The entire temple felt like it was about to be blown away.

After regaining consciousness, only rubble remained in the temple, and the surrounding area was filled with a pungent smell.

"Report to Dali Temple Minister." The small official of Dali Temple came to report: "We have checked the villagers here. These villagers are all in the village and have never been to the temple. They were all confronting the monk that day."

"Li Zheng doesn't have enough people to take him out?"

The little official said in a low voice, "They're all in the village. Li Zheng didn't take anyone away, but farther south of Jingyang, we found traces of a large group of people marching."

"The people in the brigade?" Dai Zhou said with a gloomy expression, "Go and investigate."

"Here."

While walking towards Chang'an, Dai Zhou wondered who did it.

Although he suspected Li Zheng, he didn't have any evidence to prove that Li Zheng did it.

On the eve of the collapse of the temple, there were no people around the temple.

It doesn't seem artificial, Dai Zhou looked at the sky suspiciously, could it be so evil.

Monks were constantly being arrested. Princess Yongjia came to the Dazhan Temple and looked at the ruins of the temple, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

Daoyue said to Yongjia: "Your Highness, this temple has collapsed after all, and many monks have to return to vulgarity."

"My princess has brought so many dignitaries to offer you incense, what about the incense money?" Yongjia said to Daoyue in a cold voice.

Daoyue said in a low voice: "Many temples have to pay fines to the court for incense money. Many of our monks have been arrested by Dali Temple and need to pay fines to be rescued."

"Li Shimin won't let you off, don't waste your money, where is the princess' share?"

Daoyue said in a low voice: "I take the princess to the money bank."

Coming to the other direction of Dazhu Temple, there is a cave here, and there are three or five little monks guarding it in front of the cave gate.

Open the door of the cave, and inside are piles of silver coins.

Daoyue said to Princess Yongjia: "This is the incense money that our chief abbot has accumulated over the years. When the temple collapsed, many villagers went to grab the incense money from other temples, and lost a lot."

"This princess has brought so many dignitaries to offer incense, but in the end the Buddhist sect ended up like this." Princess Yongjia's voice was very cold.

Daoyue and Bianji stood aside with their heads down, not daring to speak more.

After Dai Zhou left, Li Tai came. Apart from being ecstatic, this guy also ate the cake he was eating.

While eating, Li Tai said, "Li Zheng, you don't know that I can't eat well or sleep well these days."

"So His Royal Highness is eating so happily now because he didn't eat some time ago?"

Li Tai nodded vigorously, "This cake is so delicious. You sent it to Lizheng Palace for Lizhi, but this king didn't eat it."

"His Royal Highness, talking while talking is not a good habit."

Li Tai swallowed the cake and said, "This time, you, Li Zheng, are enough to be famous in history."

"Forget it, I don't like leaving a name in history at all." Li Zheng shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said, "Leaving a name in history is a posthumous thing, and I don't want to die now."

"Besides, even if I have left a name in history, people will only look at my epitaph after I die, and then recite a poem that has lasted through the ages, and they will not even burn paper money for me."

"I will!" Li Tai said, patting his chest.

After speaking, Li Tai noticed Li Zheng's gaze and realized what he said, and said quickly, "Bah, bah, that's unlucky."

Li Zheng took over the ledger brought by Li Yifu, and now has more than 140 million guan in savings, and earned 60 guan from selling perfume alone. Although the profits of other businesses are not so high, and the cost of buying raw materials is also a lot.

Small profits but quick turnover can drive more profits.

As for the detonation of gunpowder, it is actually a delay device made of candles.

Calmly handing over the ledger to Li Yifu, Li Zheng asked: "How are the aunts learning their abacus?"

"It's almost learned, but it's a bit slow to use, and it will be much faster after you become proficient."

Li Tai felt a little full after eating a few pieces of cake, "Li Zheng, tell me the secret recipe of the cake. After I learn it, I can present it to my father."

Xu Jingzong rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, someone sent a cart full of money."

"What money?" Li Zheng asked in surprise.

"I didn't say who sent it. The money was left outside our village, and people left after delivering it."

Li Zheng and Li Tai came to the entrance of the village and looked at the carriage, which was full of money.

Xu Jingzong went on to say: "The person who came didn't say who sent it, but just put it at the entrance of our village, saying that it was given to the county lord."

Just after the temple collapsed, someone sent money over?

Feeling uneasy, Li Zhengben didn't even want to touch any of the money in the carriage.

If someone sent these silver coins on purpose, and the poison was applied to the silver coins, the skin would fester if you touched them.

Li Zheng suspected that he also suffered from persecution delusions.

"His Royal Highness, who do you think will send me money at this time?"

Li Tai also asked doubtfully, "Could it be that someone wants to congratulate you?"

"Why do I feel that someone is going to kill me?" Li Zheng hesitated for a long time before he said to Li Tai: "It's better to give it to your father, I dare not accept this kind of money from unknown sources."
