"Fighting for the Buddha?" The great monk Zhishen was stunned, what's going on? The Buddha was compassionate and did not like to fight.

"The Western Regions was originally a country of Buddha, and the four towns of Anxi were once full of Buddhist temples and monks. However, since the Great Treasure of Khotan was destroyed by the Black Khan Uighurs, Buddhism in the Western Regions no longer exists, and now it is the territory of the outer way. If you want to come to the Buddha, you will not be satisfied, but fortunately, now the king of Xiping has made a concert, and he wants to pour the troops of Hexi to conquer Anxi, expel the Black Khan Uighurs, and restore the four towns of Anxi. Does the master think that Buddhism should return to the four towns of Anxi at the same time? ”

"This ......" Master Zhishen hesitated. Of course, Buddhism should return to the four towns of Anxi, but money and Dharma are two different things!

"Shuaisi," Pan Xingye on the side interjected, "The Immortal Warehouse of the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River is a big deal!" In the past two years, the dividends that have been distributed to your house have been more than 150,000 yuan, so you can't do a loss-making business. ”

The Changsheng Library of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple is actually a transaction between Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an, and there are not many shares belonging to Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple, but it is just a borrowed name.

And because this immortal treasury absorbed the deposits of the exiled officials of the Song Dynasty in Haizhou and the deposits of the Liao magnates in Jiehe, it had a large amount of low-cost funds to dispatch. At the same time, the merchants of Jiehe Commercial City and Haizhou Commercial City also have extremely strong demand for financing and exchange, so the profitability of Changsheng Treasury is very good.

Last year, the dividends distributed to Wu Haogu alone exceeded 150,000 yuan (horses), which can be regarded as a powerful money-making machine.

However, in Wu Haogu's view, giving himself 150,000 to 200,000 yuan a year is not the whole role of the Changsheng Bank of the Great Xiangguo Temple of Jiehe, or even the main role.

The operation of this "bank" is quite stable, and the profits are not small. But it's far from the power of money!

Money is used well, but it is infinitely powerful!

At present, the total value of gold, silver, copper coins and silk silk stored in the Changsheng Warehouse of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple (including Jiehe, Haizhou, Xuzhou, and Xijin Mansion) has exceeded 15 million! With such a huge amount of money, only one-tenth of it needs to be taken out, it is enough to support a huge war.

And the benefits of a war are so great that they are hard to measure in money.

Although Zhao Qianshun, the king of Xiping, was the target of his westward expedition, it was not the territory that Wu Haogu was interested in. However, Wu Haogu was still willing to let the Hexi army compete with the Seljuk Turkic Empire, which had become divided and weakened.

Because only Zhao Ji's "imperial son" severely beat the Seljuk Turks, the pillars of the Heavenly Sect world, could it be possible to make the Great Food Kingdom and the Seljuk Turks fear the Great Song Dynasty.

This was very beneficial for the Great Song Dynasty to gain knowledge from the Arab world and at the same time to seize sea supremacy from the Arab maritime merchants.

If the two brothers Qianshun and Chage can have the ability of Yelu Dashi, oh, it doesn't need to be that big, it is as powerful as half of Yelu Dashi, and the loan of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple will become a very valuable investment.

Even if the loan cannot be repaid in the form of repayment, there are many additional benefits to be obtained!

"The sale of lending money to the king of Xiping is not profitable!" Wu Haogu picked up the tea soup that Guo Xiaoxiao had ordered for him, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said, "First of all, the king of Xiping is a high-ranking official of the imperial court who has a fortune, a job money, and public money, and the income he gets from the court a year is no less than twenty or thirty thousand yuan. This money can be repaid in installments, and completely bad debts are impossible. ”

Zhao Qianshun, the king of Xiping, is the prince, and there are also the civil and military officials of the Taiwei and Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and they must be the highest first-class Yulu in the Great Song Dynasty. Secondly, he also has two officials, namely the envoy of Hexi Jiedu and the protector of Anxi Dadu, and they are both real positions, so there are two job money and two public money. In addition, there are all kinds of subsidies and rewards, miscellaneous and miscellaneous together, how can there be an income of 30,000 yuan a year.

Therefore, you can make a war mortgage, borrow one million or hundreds of thousands at a time, and then repay it slowly over several decades.

Wu Haogu continued: "Secondly, King Xiping still has an industry to operate. Don't look at him who lost half of his territory, but the Hexi Corridor is still in his hands. The best passage on the land Silk Road is Hexi Lang, if you are good at business, you can also make money.

Again, the soldiers and horses of the King of Xiping are actually relatively strong, and if we can get our loans, the possibility of winning the Western Expedition is still very large. If he wins, the king of Xiping will be able to obtain the territory and property of the four towns of Anxi. And this territory is not just the king of Xiping! ”

"Not only the king of Xiping? Who else? ”

Master Zhishen frowned.

Pan Xingye, the shopkeeper of Pan, also raised his eyes to look at Wu Haogu.

Guo Xiaoxiao, who was waiting outside the quiet room where Wu Haogu, Master Zhishen and Pan Xingye met, also pricked up his ears.

Does Wu Haogu want to take a piece of land in the northwest!?

"There is also the Great Xiangguo Temple!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The four towns of Anxi were originally a Buddhist country, but now there is no Buddhist temple. And King Xiping is also a disciple of the Buddha, if the Hexi Army restores the four towns, of course, it will greatly promote Buddhism. Daxiangguo Temple is now lending money to Xiping King Xizheng, and he will be able to lead Anxi Buddhism in the future, which is a big deal! ”

It's a big deal indeed!

Daxiangguo Temple is the most profitable temple in the world! There is a longevity warehouse, a bazaar, land rent, and houses for rent...... Yes, it also sells roast pork. It is completely possible to operate in a chain and open four semicolons of Daxiangguo Temple in the four towns of Anxi.

Of course, the doctors who persuaded people with Israel would also follow the monks to the four towns of Anxi. Although monks are rich, they are not very reasonable, and they are not as good as a doctor with a sword in one hand and a heavenly reason in the other.

Moreover, Wu Haogu was not worried about the solvency of King Xiping at all. Although the four towns of Anxi did not have much oil and water, and the Hexi Corridor was also very barren, it was already very difficult for these two places to support the huge army of King Xiping.

However, once the king of Xiping entered the four towns of Anxi, there was no doubt that he would go to war with the Seljuk Turks. As long as the two brothers Qianshun and Chago can defeat the Seljuk Turkic army—referring to the later achievements of Yelu Dashi, it should not be a big problem—they can continue to expand to the Hezhong region (referring to the Syr Darya and Amu Darya Valleys), and they can also extort the Tianfang Sect lords in Dashi, Persia, and northwest Tianzhu. There is no possibility of paying off millions of arrears.

The great monk Zhishen was moved, he was a monk first, and then a banker. How can you not be tempted by this big deal, which is greatly beneficial to the cause of Buddhism?

But he didn't count this deal alone, if he wanted to support King Xiping to fight, he would have to take at least a million yuan in loans, right? And it is impossible for the king of Xiping to provide any collateral.

The great monk looked at Pan Xingye, and Pan Xingye frowned and said: "Führer, this is a loan of at least millions of yuan, if there is no corresponding guarantee, then you have to ask Taiwei Pan for instructions on this matter." ”

Pan Xiao'an has now also been promoted to a rampant official, and he has also added a Yaojun official of Yangzhou Assassin History, so he can also be called Pan Taiwei. As for Pan Xiao'an's official position, he has now become a prisoner and a general who will be promoted to Xicheng.

"Millions?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Not so much, right?" It's enough for us to take out 200,000. We can't all take up such a great merit, there are so many monks in the world, they also have to do their part to promote the Dharma! ”

He looked at the great monk Zhishen and said with a smile: "People say that there are ninety-nine temples in Kaifeng Mansion, and each Buddhist temple has an immortal treasury, which is full of copper coins, but is there such a thing?" ”

Don't look at Wu Haogu, who is now known as the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, the Jiehe Commercial Market he built with all his strength is even more fat. But there is more money than money, and he and Jiehe Commercial Market really can't compare to a group of "bank monks".

No matter how broad the ancient Wu is, it is less than ten years to start a business, how much can it accumulate? Kaifeng Ninety-nine Temple is at least a hundred years old! How does Wu Haogu compare cash with others? So Wu Haogu wanted to make a syndicate, oh, it should be a Sangha loan. Pull dozens of temple longevity libraries to pay together, and the Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple longevity library will take the lead.

You can always make up two or three million!

Moreover, no matter how Zhao Qianshun is an old man, he doesn't dare to rely on the accounts of the temple in Quankaifeng, right? This matter must be known to the Buddha, not to mention that he himself is likely to go to the eighteen layers of hell in the future, even his ancestors and ancestors will have to go to hell together.

For a true Buddha disciple, this is unthinkable.

This is the power of the Dharma!

……

After negotiating the "Sangha loan", Wu Haogu tasted the pork cooked by the monks of the Roast Pig Courtyard with Master Zhishen and the shopkeeper Pan, and returned to his mansion with Guo Xiaoxiao after he was full of wine and food. As soon as I entered the door, a family member came to report: Ji Yi, the secretary of Jingdong City, came to visit.

"Brother Yizhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you be blessed?"

"Hahaha, my heart is wide and my body is fat, now that I am away from the land of right and wrong in Kaifeng Mansion, and live in Haizhou, which is like a fairyland, can I not be blessed? Brother Chongdao, your changes are not small! Strong, strong! ”

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Ji Yiji's senior official has changed from a handsome boy to a middle-aged fat man who laughs. But he should also be blessed, he is now an official in Haizhou, and he lives on the fairyland-like Yuntai Mountain for half of the year, and he is also a fat lifting city boss. In addition to making money, it is to enjoy happiness, and life is really like a fairy.

In contrast, Wu Haogu was bitter. For the country, the people, and the officials, he is really busy, and he even went to the battlefield of nine deaths! The temperament of the whole person has naturally changed a lot, and Ji Yi's description is also just right, Wu Haogu has become a lot stronger. He doesn't look like a kind businessman, and he can't hide his coldness all over his body!

"Brother Yi came all the way to Jiehe Commercial City, wouldn't it be to catch up with me, a martial artist?"

After the guests and hosts were seated in the inner hall, Wu Haogu went straight to the point and asked about Ji Yi's intentions.

Ji Yi smiled: "Don't hide it from the captain, the lower official has been in Yuntai Mountain for a long time, and he wants to come out and walk around...... Brother Chongdao, can there be a candidate for the envoy to visit Baghdad? ”
