Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World

Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World Chapter 157

"Amitabha, Lord Luo don't need to send it. Now Heavenly Dao Alliance has had a strong injury, Hua Wuji is far away, I'm afraid that it will be dissolved soon, and this poor monk will not be in danger on his way."

Luo Caiyi ordered nodded and stood at the door of the inn.

This time Heavenly Dao Alliance strikes, and the Sacred Flame Church has suffered a lot from the rudder, and needs a good rest.

But it's all worth it, the threat of Heavenly Dao Alliance is gone, and Sacred Flame Church can develop without any scruples in Henan.

"Has that Hua Xiaohuan already gone?"

"Yes, she is going back to Mount Song Sect to pack some things, Miss Hua, Pure Yin Body, is really difficult to heal, Now that this poor monk has encountered it, you should try your best to relieve the suffering of others."

"You are kind."

"This poor monk is also adding some merit to himself. It's just good news, it doesn't matter if you are kind or bad."

Luo Caiyi didn't speak, and Huo Yuanzhen was speechless for a while. Big stone, but no one said it.

After a while, Huo Yuanzhen looked up at the banner at the entrance of the inn.

"After this battle, the rudder of your sect became very powerful. Since then, fish leaping over the dragon gate, this poor monk should change the name of this inn."

"The meaning of the abbot, how can I change it?"

"If the dragon gate is not right, let's call it the Dragon Gate Inn."

Luo Caiyi said a few words, then turned to face The inn said: "Come here, take this flag down for me. According to the meaning of the abbot, from now on, this place will be called the Dragon Gate Inn."

*********** ****************

Huo Yuanzhen's horse was fast, and on the way back, he caught up with the food convoy.

This convoy started from Luoyang and headed to Shaoshi Mountain. It has been traveling for more than two days now, and it will arrive at Shaoshi Mountain early tomorrow morning.

Huo Yuanzhen caught up with the grain convoy and briefly checked the grain.

There are a hundred cars, like a long dragon on the road.

Actually, the food delivery this time is not only expensive, but also the transportation money, but since Demon Sect pays the bill, Huo Yuanzhen doesn't care.

Huo Yuanzhen attaches great importance to these grains. If the war breaks out, it will most likely be spring, so don't think about preparing the fields for spring. At that time, the grain will be seen as precious.

Although this hundred cars seem to be a lot, Huo Yuanzhen believes that this is not enough, far from enough.

I personally escorted this batch of food all the way back to Shaoshi Mountain, and pulled it from the newly opened mountain road to the top of the mountain. The monks of Shaolin Temple came out to help.

One hundred truckloads of grain were unloaded and piled up behind the Shaolin Temple Abbot's Court.

Yichen and the others were not surprised to see Huo Yuanzhen coming back, but were surprised by the food.

"Abbot, with so much food, it may be difficult for us Shaolin to finish eating this winter."

It was Huiyi who said this. Eighteen of them are now in Shaolin. It has been recognized by people, has ability, and is not bad. Eighteen of them were also the main force when they were working just now.

Hearing Huiyi's words, Huo Yuanzhen looked back, these eighteen people, plus Huiniu's super rice bucket, these people looked solemn, looking at the mountains of food, they seemed to feel deeply. heavy responsibility.

Huo Yuanzhen ignored these single-minded foodies and asked all the monks of the same generation to come to his abbot's courtyard.

Sit down in the hall, Huo Yuanzhen looked at everyone: "You Junior Brothers, do you have some questions?"

Yichen said first: "There are some doubts, but how many of you? I also guessed a little bit of the abbot's thoughts."

"That's good, now it's December, and this winter will basically pass in four months. When the time comes, war is likely to break out. , when the time comes, everyone can imagine how many people will be afflicted by the war, we have to take precautions in advance, so this poor monk believes that these food is far from enough."

Everyone said They have been nodded. If it is true as Huo Yuanzhen said, then I am afraid that no amount of food will be eaten.

“Yi Kong Junior Brother, how much money do we Shaolin have?”

Yi Kong, the former Senior Brother, now the Junior Brother, stood up and said: “Abbot, former Some days, we still have nearly 200,000 taels of silver, but first we paid off the debts of the bank, and then we ordered a lot of bows and arrows, and then we bought horses, built mountain roads, oh, and made clothes. We went out after hundreds of thousands of taels, and now we only have more than 30,000 taels."

Huo Yuanzhen ordered nodded, "The money can't be used for him now, it's all used to buy food. From tomorrow, Shaolin's All the monks went down the mountain to contact to buy food, and the war horses they purchased were also used to pull carts temporarily."

The monks nodded agreed.

Huo Yuanzhen thinks about it, these are not enough, I have to go to the major banks, try to borrow some silver taels, and hoard as much food as possible for emergencies.

************************

Huo Yuanzhen's loan operation is very smooth, and now Shaolin Temple It is already number one Great Sect with a radius of hundreds of miles, and Abbot Yi Jie is like a Buddha in ten thousand families. No one thinks that he will renege on a debt.

Let's not talk about anything else, even Shaolin Temple has at least a hundred taels of incense money every day. When the weather is good, I can even receive nearly a thousand taels of incense money a day, which is already a big deal. The size of the temple.

Qian Delu from Lvye Town lent Huo Yuanzhen 30,000 taels of silver, and Zhao Wuji of Dengfeng Bank even generously supported it and lent Huo Yuanzhen 100,000 taels of silver at one time.

Even Zhao Wuji also said that if Abbot Yi Jie still needs silver taels, even if he comes to him, he can also contact the shopkeepers and abbots of other banks to meet.

Thanks to Huo Yuanzhen for this, but for now, the money seems to be about the same.

As soon as the money is in hand, Shaolin Temple's big grain purchase operation begins.

The monks put their horses into carts one after another and traveled around the major towns.

From around Dengfeng County to Zhengzhou Prefecture, almost every county can see the silhouette of Shaolin Disciple.

Every two monks bring a monk with a double horse-drawn cart. The monk is responsible for keeping accounts, in charge of money, and the monk is responsible for transporting food. , immediately return to Shaolin Temple.

The white horse drawn by Huo Yuanzhen in the system has tragically become the main force for pulling carts, and is guarding the edge of Shaoshi Mountain. If any car can't go up the mountain, it must go to support.

If the system has a spirit and knows that the white horse that comes out is the end, it is estimated that Huo Yuanzhen will not be able to extract it.

The main target of these monks is not ordinary people, but those grain merchants or big families.

At this time, all kinds of grains are piled up in the granaries of those big families. Many people hope to turn grains into silver taels. The appearance of Shaolin is just in time.

Even in a landlord's home, 30 truckloads of rice were purchased at a low price at one time, which made people overjoyed.

The acquisition plan went very smoothly. Except for some more discerning merchants who refused to sell, the rest were willing to sell the excess grain.

On the first day, more than 80 truckloads of food were transported back to Shaoshi Mountain.

On the second day, seventy-five carts of grain were brought back again.

On the third day of purchasing grain, there was finally a small peak. More than 140 trucks of grain were transported back after consuming countless silver taels.

Behind Huo Yuanzhen's Abbot's Court, a huge temporary granary was built, with a radius of 100 meters, all surrounded by trees, with straw mats on it.

Looking at the huge granary, it is being filled little by little.

On the ninth day of the acquisition, the pace slowed down a bit.

In the beginning, all the grains purchased were refined grains. Seeing that almost all of them have been purchased, Huo Yuanzhen switched to coarse grains. Anyway, it is winter, so there is no need to worry about the grains going bad, as long as the food is edible Just do it.

The few silver taels left were spent like water.

It will be mid-December when Huo Yuanzhen's hundreds of thousands of silver tael are spent.

Nearby people have mixed opinions about Shaolin's actions to buy food.

Many people find it strange that now is the winter slack season, many people have surplus grain at home, but most of the grain is concentrated in the hands of grain merchants, and the price will definitely not be low, but Shaolin Temple chooses at this time Buying food makes people wonder.

The most people say that Shaolin Temple is preparing to speculate, and now it is buying up and selling it in the spring and summer tomorrow.

But this statement is somewhat untenable. Now most people still have some surplus grain in their hands, enough to last until the harvest season of Xiaochun tomorrow. If Shaolin hoards grain and plans to resell it, there is absolutely no market.

Unless the grain is sold outside the Great Wall, or in the grassland area, but in that case, I am afraid that the transportation cost will be greater than the value of the grain itself.

Some people also said that Shaolin planned to recruit Disciple, for fear of insufficient food.

However, this argument is ignored. If you recruit Disciple, can you form a Legion?

There are also some smart people who realize that Shaolin did this because he was worried that there would be no food for the outbreak of war.

But if the war breaks out and there are disaster victims everywhere, Shaolin is hoarding so much food, isn't he afraid that Yi Kong will be looted by those disaster victims?

Of course, there are some Buddhist believers who believe that Abbot Yi Jie must do this to save all the people in the world. These grains must be used for relief in the end, but we don't know who to help.

For the last statement, most people don't believe it. After all, Shaolin Temple is borrowing a lot and has a lot of debt. Can he still help others at this time?

No matter how rumored the outside world is, Huo Yuanzhen still goes his own way, until one day Yi Kong comes to report that Shaolin only has more than 110 tael of silver left, and he chooses to stop.

For more than half a month, thousands of truckloads of grain have been purchased, and now the large warehouse is full.

Arrange the monks to take turns to guard the food. The food is not visible now, and it will be of great use in the spring.

Hui Niu and the others, who took it as their duty to eat up these grains, are now completely giving up. If these grains are not burned with fire, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat all of them in their lifetime. (To be continued.
