Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 594 593 Take money to knock you out

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui hesitated for a moment, the Bodhisattva quickly wanted to reach out for the cassock again, and said quickly, "So that the real king will know that this cassock is a treasure of my Buddhist family, and those who are not predestined, even those who have merit, will not be able to enjoy it."

Shi Zhongkui doesn't care whether you are destined or not, if it is in his hands, it is destined.

At this time, the Bodhisattva saw that Shi Zhongkui was a rascal at all, and hurriedly threatened again, "This treasure dragon is wrapped in a strand, so as not to be devoured by the rocs. Hanging a strand of cranes, it is wonderful to become a saint. But where you sit, there will be worship from all gods." .Wherever you move, there are seven Buddhas with you.

If the true king takes over, the seven Buddhas will accompany him as promised.

The poor monk is naturally willing to offer both hands to help the real king to listen to the teachings of the Buddha from time to time. "

Shi Zhongkui immediately cursed in his heart, if he really insisted on cassocks, the Bodhisattva would definitely dare to send seven Buddhas by his side.

Even if you don't dare to be unfavorable to yourself, you can still disgust yourself to death just by chanting scriptures from time to time.

Fortunately, I never thought about hiding cassocks and tin rods at the beginning, "Pindao said at the beginning that he bought these two Buddhist treasures and would give them to Master Jiang Liu'er who lives in the Waterway Assembly.

Monk, you just have to sell it, and if Pindao buys it, he will order someone to give it away.

After all, Master Jiang Liu'er was recommended to His Majesty by someone.

Now that we have encountered two good treasures of the Buddhist family, we should be good people to the end, lest His Majesty have to spend the money in the Tang treasury to prepare the Buddhist treasures to reward Master Jiang Liu'er. "

Now it was the Bodhisattva's turn to be in trouble.

Although my original purpose was to send cassocks and tin sticks to Jin Chanzi, but if it can be delivered by the Tang emperor himself, it means that the emperor has accepted Buddhism.

In the future, the attitude of the entire Tang Dynasty, whether it is the upper class or ordinary people, will definitely change greatly.

This is tantamount to laying a solid foundation for the great prosperity of Buddhism.

But if it is a treasure of Buddhism, it was Shi Zhongkui, a Taoist disciple, who gave it to Jiang Liuer. It is easy to say that this matter has been spread to the fairy world, but in the eyes of ordinary people in the world, it is that monks even want things from Taoists.

The people at the lower level had a difficult life for three meals a day, and they didn't understand these behind-the-scenes things. They just laughed at the thick-skinned monk.

If it creates an image of "death for money", it will be a fatal blow to missionary work.

The Bodhisattva took a deep breath, knowing that although he did not let Shi Zhongkui succeed, he also had no chance to use the emperor's hand to promote Buddhism.

"Without any trouble for the true king, the poor monk voluntarily gave these two things to Venerable Xuanzang for free."

Shi Zhongkui was not a good person either, he laughed when he saw this, and said loudly to his followers, "Someone, send this ten thousand taels of silver to Huasheng Temple, and use it as the cost of this waterway meeting.

It can also be regarded as Ben Zhenjun, as the princess to be married, to relieve Datang's worries. "

As soon as these words came out, countless people around them applauded loudly, and instantly stole most of the limelight from the Waterway Conference.

Even exposing Taoist priests to be rich is not all bad.

It is true that Shi Zhongkui is a Taoist priest, but he is also a relative of the emperor.

After the people at the bottom know what happened today, in their impression of him, there must be far more people who remember him as a son-in-law than Taoist priests.

And the son-in-law is rich, isn't that a matter of course?
Otherwise, why would the emperor marry his daughter to Shi Zhongkui?
When ordinary people marry their daughters, they all want to marry a wealthy and powerful family. Not to mention using their son-in-law to gain benefits for themselves, at least it is always a good thing for their daughters to marry without suffering.

When the princess chooses her husband, she naturally has to choose a rich one, so as not to lose the face of the royal family because of being poor.

This thought is perfectly normal, so Shi Zhongkui is not at all worried that revealing his wealth will have a negative impact on Taoism.

The most important thing is that after more than 170 years of turmoil in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and more than ten years of turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty, although the people have accepted Buddhism to a certain extent.

But most of the people who are really willing to become monks are the lower class who can't make it through.

The reason is nothing more than that I really can't survive, and I want to make a living.

Even believers are mostly bottom class.

Families with enough food and clothing, gold and silver, and power in their hands rarely have true believers.

It's Mrs. Wang in the world of Red Mansions, who eats fast and recites Buddha twice in three days, does she really worship Buddha sincerely?
It's just for outsiders to see.

If there are rumors that Taoist priests are rich and monks are poor ghosts, more people will definitely choose to become Taoist priests.

This is tantamount to competing with Buddhists for believers and labor.

The bodhisattva's face changed from anger at this time, and Mu Zha glared at Shi Zhongkui even more.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care, instead he threatened, "Monk, since you said you want to send the cassock and tin staff to Master Jiang Liu'er, then send them now.

Lest you go back on your word again, you bald ass.

At that time, you will run away without a trace with your treasure, and you will spend several thousand, tens of thousands of taels, to remake the cassock and tin staff for Master Jiang Liuer to fulfill the promise. "

When the people around heard it, they secretly thought that the Bodhisattva had regretted it just now, and the worry of the son-in-law was really not nonsense.

Immediately, some people murmured, and even some officials who wanted to reduce the court's expenditure also joined in.

The Bodhisattva must send the cassock and tin staff to the 'Huasheng Temple' right now under everyone's gaze.

Bodhisattva and Mu Zha were forced to have no choice but to walk away, surrounded by people, and went all the way to Huasheng Temple.

After seeing Jiang Liu'er and a group of eminent monks, Shi Zhongkui took advantage of his high status and was appointed by Li Shimin as the general manager of the waterway conference.

Not only walked in the front, but also took the lead to speak to Jiang Liuer and many monks, "Your Majesty is seeking proof of good deeds, but there are Master Lao and all the eminent monks.

A certain day happened to meet two lay monks, and he planned to buy the cassock and tin staff in their hands for ten thousand taels of silver, but it was a pity that the monk was too different from Buddhism and Taoism.

Said that a certain was from Taoism, and refused to sell each other.

I had no choice but to offer this ten thousand taels of silver as the cost of this waterway conference. One is to reward the mage and the eminent monks, and the other is to relieve His Majesty's worries. "

Now all the monks around were attracted by ten thousand taels of silver, and basically few of them cared about the family status struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

When they saw Shi Zhongkui's entourage offering a large bag of horseshoe gold with both hands, many monks breathed heavily.

I was still thinking that Bodhisattvas are so ignorant. It is true that Buddhism and Taoism are competing, but Taoists sending money to the door is tantamount to showing weakness and helping to promote Buddhism. Is there any reason not to?

Moreover, although the emperor held the waterway meeting, although he would also take out money, most of the expenses were actually raised by monks like them according to the size of the temples.

Now there is a bully who is willing to cover all the expenses and still make a fortune. Even a virtuous monk will inevitably be tempted.

Shi Zhongkui was even more fond of him in his heart, and even the monks in the temple who were poorer were extremely grateful to Shi Zhongkui.

Where can I take care of Bodhisattva and Muzha.

As for the cassocks and tin staffs in the hands of the two, they never refuse anyone who comes.
