Tianyi Temple-In the main hall, the Shenguang monk is dressed in a robe and sits in the center, and there is another first, the hall master, the prison courtyard, and the superintendent temple...... There are more than 20 high-level monks, sitting on both sides, each with a big bald head brighter than the other, and a face more distressed than the other!

It turned out that the monks gathered together, not to hold a ritual or to participate in the meditation machine, but to count the temple property, and more than a dozen small novices were making calculations and turning over the account books under the hall......

"On the seventh day of the first month of this month, a grand Buddha event was held, with an income of 364 taels of gold, and an expenditure of 258 taels ......of gold to purchase incense candles, lamp oil, gold dust and other valuables."

"On the thirteenth of this month, the properties of all the fields belonging to the temple will be increased by fifty and a half percent of the rent, and after the grain, dried fruits, cattle and sheep are sold, a total of six hundred and fifty gold will be obtained!"

"Another 530 tenants, unwilling to pay rent to the temple, tore up the lease contract, and injured six rent-collecting monks, one of whom was disabled......"

The little novices calculated carefully, every time they counted an account book, they would hand it over to the lobby, and after the high-level monks saw it, their faces were even worse, but they didn't expect the Tianyi Temple on the rich side to be so down!

Before buying glazed Buddha statues and leasing relics, I borrowed a total of 138,000 taels of gold, and agreed on three cents of interest, but now more than two months have passed, in addition to repaying the principal, there is also 4,140 gold in January and 4,264 gold in February...... If you don't pay the interest, it will skyrocket!

I wanted to take the glass Buddha statue and relics as the call to hold a few grand Buddha events, so that believers can donate more money and materials, and they can easily repay the loan, but I didn't expect it to backfire, and the Buddha held seven or eight times, and the income was pitiful!

First, the glass Buddha statue suddenly flooded, hundreds of temples inside and outside the city, one or two less, five or six more, all of them are holding Buddhist events, so that the appeal has declined, and the incense money has been greatly reduced!

The second is that the magnates of the imperial court are unwilling to support the temple anymore, and they do not come to worship the Buddha anymore.

As a result, after more than two months of busyness, Tianyi Temple only earned more than 6,000 gold, excluding Buddhist expenses and daily expenses...... There is only more than 1,000 gold left, not to mention repaying the loan, and even the negative interest is not enough, which is still the highest income among the temples, and some small temples simply can't make ends meet.

In desperation, the Shenguang monk could only order, and the shops and fields under the temple increased the rent and endowment in one fell swoop, and raised more than 2,000 gold, but it attracted great dissatisfaction from the tenants, some refused to pay the rent, and some directly returned the fields, and fought with the rent-collecting monks.

What's even more terrifying is that the temple's wanton expropriation and extortion have caused the reputation of Buddhism to plummet, many dependents have left, and some people have written a verse to say what to say......

The Buddha knelt in front of him for 3,000 years, and I didn't see my Buddha feel pity, and Mo Dao dust covered the Buddha's eyes, and he didn't invest in incense money.

Buddha is not greedy for money? Why is it worshipped by the world?

Buddha is not evil? Why can't the world be disrespectful to him?

………………

We pay our respects, offer incense, and ask for the calamity!

The Buddha said that the world has many lives, and it is destined, and the will of heaven cannot be violated!

What's the use of waiting for you?

This verse is easy to understand, catchy, quickly popular in the streets and alleys, regardless of men and women, young and old, regardless of literacy or not, can shake their heads and recite a few sentences, the Buddhism is ironic into the bones!

The monks smoked seven tricks, but they had no countermeasures, so they could only curse the writer while continuing to loot money, anyway, they tore off their faces and simply threw them to the ground!

There is no way, in order to buy glazed Buddha statues, the treasury of each temple is empty, even if you don't repay the borrowed money, the monks have to eat and dress, and the Buddha statues also have to be worshipped with incense, where does the money come from, you can only loot the believers!

"Everything should be done according to one's ability, buying glass Buddha statues and leasing relics is too much!"

"With all the temple property as collateral, if we can't repay the loan, what should we do, willing to be a sinner who destroys the temple?"

"I heard that the Tianyin Temple outside the city, I didn't buy the glass Buddha statue, and now everything is running normally, it seems that the old monk is still looking long!"

………………

In the face of the huge crisis, the monks talked a lot, either complaining, or scolding Huai, and they all pointed to the Shenguang monk, thinking that he was dizzy, so that Tianyi Temple was in trouble!

In addition, after Yixiu presided over the death, it was the Shenguang monk who was supposed to succeed him, and it was the Shenguang monk who secretly used means to steal the position of host, and many monks were already unconvinced, but now they all broke out.

In the face of the accusations of the monks, the Shenguang monk was like the bottom of a black pot, but he couldn't shirk his responsibility, he was the one who bought the glazed Buddha statue, and he was the one who rented the relics, and he could only carry the pot himself.

In fact, after the auction ended, the Shenguang monk regretted it, knocked his hand with a mallet several times, hating himself for why he raised his hand impulsively and why he signed the loan agreement, he was really dizzy!

Have the heart to return the glass Buddha statue and relics, but it is easy to send the Buddha to the Buddha, one is worried about being ridiculed, and the face of the Tianyi Temple will be lost, and it will be difficult to protect the position of his own host.

The second is that the door of Wanbaolou is closed, and there will be no refund at all for the goods sold.

If you have the intention to transfer it out, turn around the money, but in recent times, a large number of glass utensils have been listed, and there are a few pieces of powerful homes and temples of all sizes, but the price is going all the way down, and you will lose money if you sell it!

People want face, trees want bark, and Shenguang is about to say a few words, so as to save some face, a little novice rushed to announce an important news: "Wu Zhen came to collect debts!" ”

"The debt collector has come to the door, how can this be good, I heard that this person is ruthless, and he is even more unscrupulous when he asks for accounts, occupying the land, collecting the shop, and moving things...... The mud bodhisattvas are squeezed out of the oil, and people give them the nickname: the sky is three feet high! ”

"I heard that Luoxia Temple-Guyun presided over, and was forced by this person to commit suicide in a hurry, and all the temple property was confiscated, and the monks were used as labor, when will there be enough money, and when will they be released, but under the profits, they can't pay it off in ten lifetimes!"

………………

The monks are all desolate, it's not that they're timid, but Wu Zhen is too terrible, the so-called 'three feet high' means that this person is tough and scrapes the ground three feet deep!

And the monks also heard that the imperial court has formed a gluttonous army, preparing to go to the Western Regions for the second time, and the money collected is used for military salaries.

"Haha, it's really a sin and a sin to disturb the masters of Qing Xiu, but the army is about to go on an expedition, and the money and food are urgently needed, and the lower officials can only come to the door with a cheeky face!

Besides, the Tianyi Temple family has a big business, a little bit of gold, it should be no problem, and I hope that all the monks will have mercy and let the officials go back to make a good deal! ”

In the hearty laughter, Wu Zhen slowly walked into the Buddhist hall, wearing a long tasseled crown, a green silk robe, and a silver seal and green ribbon around his waist, completely dressed as a captain of the Han Dynasty!

The difference is that other lieutenants may wear swords or waist swords, but he holds a stack of account books, and a pair of abacus hangs around his waist, which jingles when he walks!

He was followed by a large number of soldiers, who held crowbars, bars, ropes, and scrapers in addition to swords, guns, and halberds...... The Buddha statues, bells, and bronze statues in the temple are eyeing them!

"Amitabha, it turned out that Captain Wu was here, and the poor monk failed to go out to travel far, and he hoped to forgive his sins, so he sat down to drink tea!"

"There's no need to drink tea, and ask the master to settle the arrears!"

"Well, before the purchase of glazed Buddha statues, the temple has poured all its might, recently the incense money is not strong, and the matter of repaying the debt is powerless, can you delay a few days, let the monk raise again?"

"Debt repayment, it is justified, Tianyi Temple is rich, and the fraction can't be taken out, the master is deliberately pushing it, could it be that he colluded with the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions to obstruct the army's westward expedition?"

"Don't dare! Can't! --The poor monk never dared, but he really had no money! ”

………………

Seeing that the debt collector came to the door, the high-level people retreated one after another, and no one dared to touch this brow, so the Shenguang monk had to come forward in person, and he served tea and entertained guests, and he begged for good words, hoping to give some time!

Knowing that Wu didn't get in on the oil and salt, he just refused to be accommodating, and asked the monks to repay the money, and he also made a big hat of 'colluding with foreign enemies and obstructing the Western Expedition', and he was ruthlessly buttoned up!

This can frighten the monks, debts can be repaid, there is no money to take things to the account, at least there is no danger to life, once they are accused of colluding with foreign enemies, the bald head on their necks will not be saved!

"Hehe, I have a relationship with Buddhism in the next, and it's not easy to persecute too much, since the monks are inconvenient, you can give a grace period of three or five days, but the interest must be repaid first, so that the lower officials can also pay the difference!"

"Well, the interest also costs more than 8,000 taels of gold, and the small temple really has nowhere to raise it, can you also give it a leniency?"

"Your temple is full of treasures, raising money is a trivial matter, since the masters are unwilling to do it, the lower officials are willing to do it for them - do it!"

Wu Zhen was no longer merciful, and waved his hand violently, and the soldiers immediately swarmed up, attacking the golden temple, like a Buddha statue, carrying a bronze bell, smashing the gate, and scraping gold paint...... Really scrape the ground, do everything!

"After three days, the principal will be paid off, otherwise the lower official would not be so polite!"

"That's polite?"
