Monument Yangmen

Chapter 777
Land annexation has always been a major drawback faced by feudal dynasty rule.

All dynasties and dynasties have taken precautions against this, and even did not hesitate to kill them, but they have repeatedly banned it.

The most important thing is that the world only sees the rich and powerful families oppressing the common people and occupying their property, but few people know that in terms of land annexation, Buddhism and Taoism do not give way.

Even more than that.

In the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the mist and rain.

This line of Du Mu's poem is not just an exclamation. If you savor it carefully, you can smell the taste of cannibalism from it.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was a lot of tolerance towards Buddhism and Taoism.

This also led to the fact that only a hundred years after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the number of temples in the territory of the Song Dynasty doubled.

Yang Qi, who has been paying close attention to this aspect, once sent someone to do a careful investigation. On average, there are less than a hundred monks in the temples of the Song Dynasty and Taoist priests in each temple.

But the land they occupy is a hundred times the number of them.

And because of their special status, they don't need to pay grain for the land they cultivate.

This shows how rich Buddhism and Taoism are.

Each one pretends to be shabby on weekdays, asking for alms everywhere, and when it's time to spend money, each one is more generous than the other.

These are simply two giant blood-sucking insects crawling on the common people.

Yang Qi would never allow these two blood-sucking insects to continue harming the interests of the common people under his rule.

This is also the reason why Yang Qi categorically set a permanent rule after hearing the offer from the Buddhist sect.

I, Yang Qi, do not discriminate against beliefs, nor will I hinder you from preaching.

But if you dare to open your mouth to suck the blood of the common people, then stretch out your hands and chop your hands and feet.

However, at this moment, the principals of the Buddhist and Taoist schools had no idea that Yang Qi had quietly hung a sharp sword with a cold light on their heads.

In the atrium on the third floor.

After the old monk who followed Zen Master Huiming quoted a high price of 400 million dan, he calmly retreated behind Zen Master Huiming, with a sad face, as if someone had taken a piece of meat from his heart.

Chen Tuan stroked his beard, looked at Zen Master Huiming with a smile, and said, "Your Buddhist sect is really rich... 400 million dans of grain, sizzling..."

While pursing his lips, Chen Tuan gave the old Taoist beside him a look.

The old man took two steps forward with no expression on his face, stood in the most conspicuous position, and calmly shouted, "500 million tons..."

After shouting this sentence, he quietly retreated behind Chen Tuan.

"Hehehe..."

Zen Master Huiming glanced at Chen Tuan with a smile, clicked his lips, and said with emotion: "You don't give in too much in your way."

Chen Tuan said humbly, "I'm ashamed, ashamed, if I hadn't relied on an ancient chess game to win a game against the real dragon by chance, I would have been given a Huashan Mountain, I am afraid that my Taoist sect would not be able to produce so much food."

This is cleverly said, it seems to be humble, but it is actually showing off.

"Hey hey hey..."

Zen Master Huiming's smile became a little darker, and he said leisurely: "That's a coincidence, when the old monk entered the Daqing Hall and taught the scriptures for the real dragon for three days, he was given a Daxiangguo Temple. So much food."

What Zen Master Huiming said is also ingenious.

With the Daxiangguo Temple bestowed by Zhao Guangyi, counterattack Chen Tuan's acquisition of a Huashan Mountain from Zhao Kuangyin.

It is naturally impossible to produce so much grain based on the fertile fields under Huashan and Daxiangguo Temple.

They just took out their most dazzling achievements and wanted to overwhelm each other.

While the two were fighting secretly, the price of Kunpeng's bones was also frequently raised under the two's instructions.

The price soared all the way to the point where the merchants on the first and second floors were discouraged.

The previously imposing Song Dynasty businessman was like a soft-legged shrimp at the moment, slumped limply on the chair, staring dumbfounded at the rising price.

"2000 million tons!"

When the old Buddhist monk announced the price at 2000 million tons in one breath, the entire Nanhui Hall fell silent.

In the atrium.

Chen Tuan and Zen Master Huiming also lost the harmony they had just now.

At this moment, they all looked at each other solemnly.

Zen Master Huiming clasped his hands together rarely, uttered the Buddha's name, stared at Chen Tuan and said: "Amitabha, Chen Tuan, this Kunpeng skeleton, my Buddhist school is determined to obtain it."

Chen Tuan half-closed his eyes, and said coldly: "Old monk Huiming, this Kunpeng skeleton, my Taoism is also determined to obtain it."

tit for tat, not giving in to each other.

Zen Master Huiming's cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and the threat failed, and he began to understand it with emotion and reason.

"Chen Benefactor, for a pile of dead bones, you and I will kill each other, and in the end only outsiders will be the ones who get the best deal."

Chen Tuan glanced at Zen Master Huiming, and said with a smile, "As long as it doesn't hurt you, anyone can do it better."

Zen Master Huiming's complexion finally turned cold. He looked at Chen Tuan coldly, and said in a low voice, "Do you really want to kowtow to the old monk?"

Chen Tuan said leisurely: "The old Taoist has no intention of fighting with your Buddhist sect to the death, the old Taoist just wants to welcome back the sacred object of my Taoist sect."

"Amitabha~"

Zen Master Huiming chanted the Buddha's name, closed his eyes slowly, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Chen Tuan sneered and said nothing.

The two principals just sat quietly.

And the people who shouted prices behind them were not idle.

Shocking prices came out of their mouths one after another.

The merchants on the first and second floors stood up at some point, staring blankly at the middle hall on the third floor.

The numbers that the monks shouted together have already surpassed the level of wealth and rivalry, and reached another height.

"Gudu~"

Someone swallowed in shock.

Yang Qi in the corner of the third floor heard the shocking numbers soaring frequently, his eyes became colder and colder.

After a while, Yang Qi lay sideways on the soft couch, quietly said to Peng Pai: "Peng Pai..."

"Subordinates are here."

"You said that if Zhao Defang and Xiao Zhuo saw this scene, how would they feel?"

"..."

Peng Pai hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Probably the same ban as His Majesty."

Yang Qi gave Peng Pai a meaningful look, then suddenly smiled and said, "Then let's see if Zhao Defang and Xiao Zhuo have the courage."

Peng Pai nodded in confusion.

Yang Qi did not ask Peng Pai to secretly send everything that happened in the Nanhui Hall to Zhao Defang and Xiao Zhuo's desks.

Today, there are thousands of people in the South Congress Hall, many of whom are spies from the Song and Liao countries.

They will definitely tell Zhao Defang and Xiao Zhuo about this scene.

Yang Qi didn't need to do anything extra.

On the high platform in the hall on the first floor.

Kou Zhun tucked his hands into his cuffs and folded them on his chest, just looking up at the fun with his head up.

The Buddhist and Taoist families have already fought a real fire, and they don't need Kou Zhun to remind them, nor do they need him to mobilize their enthusiasm. They seem to have forgotten Kou Zhun, and they are raising the price on their own.

Kou Zhun is also happy to see the success.

It's just that he occasionally looked at the corner where Yang Qi was when he was not paying attention.

Seeing that the skeleton of Kunpeng was sold for a sky-high price.

Kou Zhun's first reaction was not the same as before, he wanted to rob with a knife.

Instead, he wanted to go up to find Yang Qi.

He planned to ask Yang Qiduo to take some people out to sea, and hunt a Kunpeng back.

Then Buddhism and Taoism, one head per family, so that there is no need to rob.

At that time, the country of Yan can get double the grain.

Kou Zhun understands the truth that rare goods can be lived in.

But who made Kunpeng an animal?

As long as it is an animal, it makes sense to have two heads.

Only one male and one female can reproduce.

It coincides with the way of heaven.

Just right.

When Kou Zhun was dreaming a sweet dream in his heart.

In the atrium.

The competition between Buddhism and Taoism is coming to an end.

When the price was called 700 million tons.

Zen Master Huiming and Chen Tuan finally couldn't calm down anymore.

Twenty-seven million tons is enough to make them feel pain.

Zen Master Huiming's eyeballs were a little red. He looked like an angry King Kong, staring at Chen Tuan and growling, "Chen Tuan, 700 million dans of grain, your Taoist family has such a big family background..."

Chen Tuan looked like a celestial master punishing evil, staring at his eyes, quite angry, he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "How can my family background in Taoism be compared with yours in Buddhism. Old monk Huiming, don't you want that Kunpeng?" Bones, didn't you say that the bones are the real body of King Ming Bodhisattva? Feel free to bid.

This rush sale was presided over by the court of Yan Kingdom, and the emphasis was on fairness and justice, and everything spoke with strength. "

After a pause, Chen Tuan sneered and said, "If the old monk cares about food, then admit defeat. The Kunpeng skeleton will be welcomed back to the ancestral court by my Taoist sect."

"It's impossible!"

Zen Master Huiming gave a rare burst of shouting, he stood up abruptly, walked to the middle of the middle hall, and shouted loudly like a bell.

"3000 million tons!"

"Wow!"

There was an uproar.

Discussions sounded one after another.

It was difficult for everyone to remain calm.

Even Yang Qi, who was hiding in the corner room and watched coldly, sat up suddenly after hearing this number.

Peng Pai looked at the middle hall in astonishment, then looked back at Yang Qi, and then looked at the middle hall again.

Stuttering and not knowing what to say.

On the high platform in the hall on the first floor.

Kou Zhun was stunned for a long time, his hands subconsciously fell off his cuffs, and he stared at the middle hall on the third floor.

Atrium on the third floor.

After Zen Master Huiming quoted a sky-high price, the anger on his body was swept away. He turned around, stared at Chen Tuan, and said calmly: "Chen Tuan Niubi, as long as you can quote a higher price than this, Mr. The monk left here immediately with his disciples and grandchildren."

Chen Tuan was also shocked by Zen Master Huiming.

Hearing what Zen Master Huiming said, Chen Tuan immediately turned to look at the old Taoist behind him.

The old man secretly shook his head at Chen Tuan.

Chen Tuan let out a long sigh unwillingly.

The old Taoist shook his head at Chen Tuan, telling Chen Tuan that the Taoist sect could not gather so much food.

In front of the crowd, Chen Tuan was really unwilling to be overwhelmed by the old enemy of Buddhism.

But what can I do if I am not reconciled.

Yang Qi sells Kunpeng's bones this time, all he wants is food.

In terms of hoarding food, Taoism is far inferior to Buddhism.

If it is exchanged for gold, silver and jewelry, the Taoist sect can completely beat the Buddhist sect to death.

"Hey……"

Chen Tuan got up slowly, flicked his sleeves, and left the middle hall on the third floor without looking back.

Seeing this, a group of veteran Taoists hurriedly followed Chen Tuan and left.

Zen Master Huiming breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously after Chen Tuan left.

Then he frowned, looked at the old monks who came with him, folded his hands together, and said sinfully: "Amitabha, I will be self-willed for a while, and I will make you suffer for the next three years."

All the monks returned their salutes, "Amitabha, the master's words are serious."

After all the monks returned the salute, an old monk said seriously: "Everything the mage has done is for my Buddhist school. Now not only have I got the bones of the Kunpeng, but also suppressed the Taoist sect. The mage has done immeasurable merit to my Buddhist school. What can I say? Pass?"

An old monk with piercing eyes hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "I may not necessarily suffer..."

All the monks looked at him together.

Facing the gazes of the monks, the old monk with piercing eyes clasped his hands together and said, "Prince Ming Bodhisattva has come. As disciples of Buddhism, we shall hold a water and land meeting to welcome him..."

After a pause, the old monk with piercing eyes added, "So that all living beings in this world can look up at the true face of my Buddha."

This sentence is the original intention of the old monk.

When all the monks heard what the old monk said, their eyes lit up in unison.

They looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

"Amitabha!"

Zen Master Huiming uttered the Buddha's name and slowly closed his eyes.

In the lobby on the first floor.

Kou Zhun finally came to his senses and remembered his responsibilities after he saw the Taoists get up and leave.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he shouted: "Congratulations to the guests in the middle hall on the third floor, who bought the bones of Kunpeng at a price of 3000 million dans of grain."

After shouting this sentence, amidst the cheers of the crowd one after another.

Kou Zhun quickly ordered someone to unload the huge character Kun, then rolled it up and placed it horizontally on a golden lacquer plate.

With the person carrying the plate, he hurried all the way to the middle hall on the third floor.

Arrived at the middle hall on the third floor.

Kou Zhun bowed and saluted, "Kou Zhun has met all the masters."

All the monks didn't dare to be the master, only Chan Master Huiming calmly accepted Kou Zhun's title of master.

Zen Master Huiming opened his eyes and looked at Kou Zhun's young face, and said with emotion: "You are very young..."

Kou Zhun bowed and said with a smile: "The lord of our country once said that when counting romantic figures, we only look at the present..."

Zen Master Huiming nodded, "The ruler of your country is wise."

After a pause, Zen Master Huiming pondered and said, "Can the old monk have a story with the ruler of your country?"

When Kou Zhun heard this, he said with a dry smile: "The lord of our country is busy, and he is not in Hong Kong at the moment, so he has no time to meet with the master. I hope the master will forgive me."

Zen Master Huiming sighed regretfully, "The old monk heard that the Lord of your country has a lot of connections with my Buddhism. Someone once said that he is the reincarnation of the Buddha's Dharma protector. I wanted to meet him, but I didn't expect to meet him."

Kou Zhun rolled his eyes helplessly, muttering to himself.

I knew nothing good would happen to you seeing His Majesty, so I rejected you for Your Majesty.

After chatting for a few words.

Zen Master Huiming closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Kou Zhun began to discuss with an old monk the specific time and location of the grain delivery, as well as the delivery location of Kunpeng's bones.

What surprised Kou Zhun was that the people from the Buddhist sect promised to send the grain sold for Kunpeng's bones to the country of Yan within fifteen days.

The date of delivery agreed by the two parties was [-] days later.

After everything has been agreed upon.

This unprecedented event finally came to an end.

Everyone got up and left the table one after another, and left the South Congress Hall.

　Thanks to 'Xintian 1' for rewarding one hundred book coins!The second is more likely to be a little later. Brothers and sisters who can wait can wait a while, and those who can't wait can watch it tomorrow.
