Chapter 641 The Temple of Mercy

The most famous building in Da Ci'en Temple is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda with a panoramic view of Chang'an, but at this time the name of the tower is called Ci'en Temple Pagoda.

Countless poets visited the Pagoda of Ci'en Temple and wrote many poems handed down from generation to generation.

However, since last month, the Ci'en Temple has explained to the pilgrims that because the Ci'en Temple Pagoda has tilted, in order to repair the Ci'en Temple Pagoda, the wing rooms near the Ci'en Temple Pagoda have been temporarily blocked.

But these days, some strange people often come and go in Ci'en Temple, and the monks in Ci'en Temple are also sneaky.

After the imperial court announced the Qianyuan Chongbao, the monks of Ci'en Temple became more busy, especially the monk who was in charge of the treasury of Ci'en Temple. Carefully calculate the books.

Liao En also looked at the thick account book and nodded with satisfaction. This account book is the loan account of the Ci'en Temple today, and the Ci'en Temple released [-] Qianyuan treasures in one day alone.

If it is converted into Kaiyuan Tongbao, this is 100 million yuan, and even Monk En feels that it is too smooth.

The prince contacted the Ci'en Temple and asked the Ci'en Temple to lend out the newly minted fake money from the Prince's Mansion.

Unlike his father who liked alchemy and Taoism, Prince Li Chu advocated Buddhism more. After regaining Chang'an, he led the wealthy families in Chang'an to donate a large sum of money for the repair of Ci'en Temple.

Needless to say, the government doesn't need to say that if the money owed to the government is not repaid, the government will come to search the house. If the debt cannot be repaid, a prison sentence is inevitable.

Zhang Leyan sneered, the issuance of Qianyuan Chongbao by the imperial court was essentially plundering wealth from the people.

Liao En continued to look at the ledger, except for big stores like Mingyuelou, there were people from all walks of life who came to borrow money.

A layman immediately said: "These days there are many Longyou people doing business in Chang'an, and these Longyou people are more radical in doing business, don't you know that too?"

Anyway, Ci'en Temple is also under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the players don't care how much the interest of Ci'en Temple is, anyway, they have no intention of paying it back!

At this time, the players are frantically collecting Qianyuan treasures in Chang'an City. The merchants need to transport these Qianyuan treasures to other cities as soon as possible. Replace it with commodities and ship it back to Chang'an for sale.

The people in Chang'an City know that money from the government and monks must never be owed.

The layman in charge of this loan immediately said: "Back to the treasury supervisor, the business of Mingyue Building is very good. If you want to sell the restaurant next door, you are still short of tens of thousands of dollars, so you came to me."

King Qi never concealed his dislike for Buddhism, and even threatened to destroy Buddhism again after he succeeded to the throne.

The money from Mingyuelou was a short-term loan, and it was agreed at the time of the loan that Kaiyuan Tongbao must be used when repaying the loan. A smile appeared on Liao En's face, and the business was a big profit.

Liao En looked at the ledger and asked:

The monks in Ci'en Temple were busy lending money, and the merchants in Longyou were busy making small loans.

Merchants naturally dare not disobey the imperial court's refusal to accept Qianyuan Chongbao, but if you use Kaiyuan Tongbao to buy grain, it can be slightly cheaper, but if you use Qianyuan Tongbao to buy grain, the price will follow the price increase.

Zhang Leyan looked at the Qianyuan Chongbao issued by the court, and then at the Qianyuan Chongbao cast by the prince, and there was really no difference on the surface.

Before they knew it, a large number of industries in Chang'an were occupied by Longyou people.

The most important food price in Chang'an has quietly increased by [-]% after the release of Qianyuan Chongbao.

There are many Longyou businessmen in Chang'an, and they are very grouped together. This is something that all businessmen in Chang'an know.

Liao En put down the ledger and said:

Looking at the ledger, Liao En called the layman in charge of lending.

The loan interest of Ci'en Temple is quite high, and there are monks in charge of debt collection in the temple.

Liao En nodded, as if saying so was right.

And the powerful and powerful people in Chang'an also joined in this feast of plundering the common people, but their methods were simpler and ruder, and they naturally cast fake money privately.

"Everyone, keep working hard and lend out these Qianyuan treasures as soon as possible!"

"Mingyue Building borrowed [-] yuan. Mingyue Building's business is booming. Why do you need to borrow money?"

It's just that these powerful families didn't dare to mint money blatantly in Chang'an City, but there were all kinds of Qianyuan treasures in Chang'an City.

Their stick skills are quite superb. When the stick is hit on the body, the skin is neither red nor swollen, but the next day, they will feel pain like a bone cracking.

Sure enough, according to Sun Lang's arbitrage model, the price of Chang'an changed on the second day after the Qianyuan Chongbao was released.

Ci'en Temple is a Buddhist temple after all, if a bald monk lends out usury, it will always damage the reputation of Buddhism, so the people responsible for lending are lay Buddhists who are practicing.

Although these people are not monks in Buddhist temples, they have served Ci'en Temple for several generations, and they are more reliable than ordinary young monks.

When they went to Ci'en Temple, they said that these stick monks were monks from Youdan. They used the name of Ci'en Temple to do bad things, and the government had nothing to do with them.

The rest of the princes were also not interested in Buddhism, so Ci'en Temple quickly chose the prince as the partner of Buddhism.

Even the real money of some courts is not as fine and heavy as the fake money cast by the prince.

As far as restaurants are concerned, five of the ten famous buildings in Chang'an are run by people from Longyou, and the remaining three have hired chefs from Longyou, imitating the decoration style of Longyou restaurants.

After Zhang Leyan learned that the Ci'en Temple was a channel to help the prince circulate fake money, he immediately organized merchants and players in Chang'an to make small loans.

Although it was casting fake money, the prince got it from the Ministry of Households, and the craftsmen who printed the fake money were also master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry.

This is not to say that the prince's fake money is well minted, but that the quality of the real money from the court is not very good.

There are not a few people who were beaten to death and maimed by the stick monks of Ci'en Temple, but if these monks were murdered, they would immediately change their dharma names and go out to Chang'an to find a remote temple to register, and the government would not be able to catch the murderer.

At the same time, the player's arbitrage plan is also in full swing.

Liao En noticed the problem and asked.

Except for big stores like Mingyuelou, there are no problems with the rest of the lending records, but Liao En frowned and said:
"Why are these borrowers from Longyou?"

So this time Donggong came to the door and asked Ci'en Temple to help the prince lend out the counterfeit money, and Ci'en Temple immediately agreed.

Grain, ironware, cloth, daily necessities, if these things are purchased with Qianyuan Chongbao, the price will increase a lot.

Mingyuelou is the first Longyou-style restaurant in Chang'an. Because of its considerate service and novel dishes, it is very popular among scholars in Chang'an. It is now a famous restaurant in Chang'an.

Among Li Heng's many princes, only Li Chu worshiped Buddha.

King Yue's intentions are unknown, but judging from the situation in Longyou, it seems that the Buddhism that once flourished in the Western Regions has been suppressed and silenced by King Yue.

And the money owed to this group of monks is even worse. The monks in Ci'en Temple do not practice swords but sticks.

Liao En is also a little strange, even if it is a good year on weekdays, it is not bad if you can release tens of thousands of money a day, why suddenly the business was so good yesterday, and 10,000+ money was released in a day.

Seats cannot be reserved during holidays and rest periods, and such a restaurant actually needs to borrow money.

Only then nodded, the housing price in Chang'an is very expensive, and buying a small house can wipe out the life savings of ordinary people, let alone buying a restaurant.

At the end of the month, less than ten days after Qianyuan Chongbao was discovered, the price on the Chang'an black market changed from ten to eight.

Prices in Chang'an went up even more crazily. At this moment, a group of merchants from Longyou came to the Wannian County Yamen with a box of fake money.

 Going out for a trip today, I really can't code.

  The number of words is slightly less, and I will make up later, sorry!
