People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 284: Seizing acres of land from the people! The good thing is that the monks got it, and the blame falls entirely on Buddha.
In modern society, there are many people who cannot even memorize Buddhist scriptures. They pretend to be monks and cheat people by eating, drinking, and making money.

And the same is true for these monks in front of me.

In order to take care of their property, they recruited some monks. If such things enter the temple, can the entire temple not be in a mess?

After killing these three monks, Chen Han and the others headed towards the back of the mountain without stopping.

At this time, a grand worship ceremony was being held inside Longxing Temple.

It is suspected that a certain rich man donated 10,000 taels of silver at one time to build a golden body for a Buddha statue in the temple, so the scene was very grand.

After the money was donated and the ceremony was held, the temple supervisor Si Zhizhi was taking the rich man to visit the temple, and a sumptuous vegetarian meal was prepared in the back hall.

"Master, I have to entrust Longxing Temple with my 200,000 acres of fertile land.

I heard that Longxing Temple has always had great supernatural powers. If you want to buy land, you will have no problem.

I came from Shanxi. I like every plant and tree here. I want to buy a property here. If you can help me do it, I will donate at least one thousand taels of silver to the temple every month. "

Zhizhi was very happy after hearing this and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, don't worry, donor, two hundred thousand acres of land is very simple.

Just when you are here to sculpt the golden statue of Buddha today, we have already helped you obtain 180,000 acres of land.

In a few days, they will all be brought to you. "

The rich man was surprised when he heard what he said.

Being able to acquire 180,000 acres of land in just half a month is really impressive.

Even if he was in Shanxi, it would be difficult to get one.

He had long heard that the monks of Longxing Temple liked to do these business without capital. Anyway, they got the land from the people and then resold it to rich people everywhere.

Rich people like them also want to buy directly from the people, but buying directly from the people is very expensive. Secondly, the fields they buy are scattered in many places, making it inconvenient to manage.

He also heard from several business partners that finding Longxing Temple can be done quickly as long as he promises to pay for the incense offered to the temple.

He came to Longxing Temple to express his position and immediately donated two thousand taels of incense money to the temple. The monks immediately promised him that they would help solve the problem.

Now half a month later, these monks said that they had acquired 180,000 acres, which is really impressive.

At the same time, hundreds of people gathered outside the temple and were looking for an explanation from the temple.

"What the hell, how could stone Buddhas be dug out of the ground at the same time? This is outrageous.

More than ten or twenty acres of land have been acquired for Longxing Temple to perform rituals, so what else do we have to eat? "

"That's right! I want too much this time."

It turns out that this is the usual method used by Longxing Temple.

Taking advantage of their faith, they secretly asked monks to bring carved stone Buddha statues in the middle of the night and bury them in people's fields, and then told the people that this was the appearance of Buddha.

It was the Buddha who wanted to acquire land for the purpose of manifesting spirits.

Then he told the people that as long as they contributed their land, they would be blessed by the Buddha.

In fact, these monks, after acquiring the land, sold it to some wealthy men at high prices.

They have made several no-cost transactions using this method.

For example, the rich man who just donated money to the temple to rebuild his golden body actually bought the 200,000 acres of land with more than 20,000 taels of silver.

Twenty thousand taels of silver can't buy so much outside, but for Longxing Temple, this is a business without capital.

Sell ​​it to these rich people at a low price. In the future, these rich people will become the human resources of Longxing Temple.

From now on, the rich man must not thank the temple for its great kindness to him every year?
Why don't you spend a lot of money to pay off your wish?
They are good at doing business and understand the principle of high investment and high return.

But it will be a disaster for the surrounding people.

Some people in the surrounding area really believe in Buddhism, and would rather suffer a little to get the blessing of the Buddha.

But this time these monks went too far. They acquired 200,000 acres at once, and the land belonging to hundreds of households nearby was taken away. Some people could not survive without this land, so they came to the temple to seek explanations from the temple.

There are several monks at the gate of the temple who are dealing with the people.

Their faces were full of impatience. Although they clasped their hands together as if they were monks, they were no different from businessmen.

Knowing that these people would come to make trouble sooner or later, they had already made excuses.

“Dear donors, it is not this temple that wants your land, but the Buddha’s appearance.

The Buddha and His Majesty Taizu used their great wishes to extend their kindness and bless all good men and women with good physical and mental health and less suffering in the next life.

As long as you donate the land, no matter how much hardship you suffer in this life, you will receive much blessing in the next life.

Besides, Buddha didn't just randomly pick a piece of land to manifest his spirit. He could choose the land in your home. That's because you believe in Buddha and Buddha appears. You should be happy.

Not every family has such an opportunity, but when the donors got the opportunity, instead of being grateful to the Buddha, they went to the temple where the Buddha lived to cause trouble. Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the Buddha? "

As soon as these words came out, many people were extremely distressed. On the one hand, they were afraid of the punishment imposed by the Buddha, and on the other hand, they really couldn't survive without this little land at home.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard another monk say, "Now that the imperial court has implemented a new policy of dividing every man into an acre, the poll tax has been cancelled, and you no longer have to bear the troublesome corvee. Who do you think came up with such a good new policy?" of?

Those are the foundations laid by His Majesty Taizu.

This is the kindness bestowed upon you by the Holy Emperor and the Duke of Liao. It is because our Longxing Temple gave birth to His Majesty Taizu, who is of immeasurable virtue, that you have the blessings in this life.

Shouldn’t you all be grateful to His Majesty Taizu? "

Big hats were put down one after another, and the people wanted to cry but had no tears.

Finally, an old farmer said: "Master, we all understand what you are saying, but we have no food to eat. Can you spare an acre or two of land so that we can at least survive?"

"Yes, Master, we don't ask for anything else. Can you leave us something to eat?"

The three monks who received them clasped their hands and said, "Amitabha, all donors, please don't say such things. There is no way to take back the kindness that the Buddha has given you.

You just need to understand that if you suffer in the present, you will be rewarded in the next life. Go back! "

The common people were speechless by his words of blessings in the next life.

Although I knew it might be a scam, I didn’t know how to refute it.

Especially when he saw a dozen monks standing nearby holding wooden sticks, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

So I had to go back angrily.

The common people turned around and left. The three monks looked at each other and saw a successful smile in each other's eyes.

The rich man and the supervisor who just came out from behind the mountain gate also smiled at each other.

The rich man smiled with a smile on his face, "Master, you really have a solution."

Zhi Zhi put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk and others are just following the Buddha's wishes.

If you reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue in the temple, the Buddha will naturally repay you. "

Even though the rich man looked kind and cruel, his teeth felt sore when he heard Zhi Zhi's words.

shameless!
It’s really shameless!

It was obvious that he was getting nothing from the common people, but he said without blushing that this was what the Buddha meant.

They get all the benefits, and all the blame falls on Buddha. It’s so awesome!
