Chapter 691: Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold
Puff –
The host of the Big Buddha Temple knelt directly on the ground, and the whole thing was trembling.
Han Yue smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Say it, give this king a reason not to kill you." ”
The host of the Big Buddha Temple hurriedly raised his head and said with a flattering face: "Your Highness, I just cooperated with you to send out the divine light, the villain knows that you need to give an explanation to the people of the world, and I will use the divine light to make you a sage." ”
He didn't dare to say this out loud, and only Han Yue was present who heard it.
Han Yue smiled slightly, and said lightly: "This is not a merit, because it was the command of this king who caught you and did it." If you take the initiative to help me, that's a real credit. ”
As he spoke, he looked at each other with a smile, and said in a leisurely tone: "Is there any other reason besides?" If not, this king will kill someone. It's getting late, and I have to go home to sleep. ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
The host of the Big Buddha Temple was very panicked, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I have, I really have." ”
He took a few steps forward with his knees, salivated and said: "The villain and Dongdu pit have deceived the world for thirty years, and have accumulated three big treasures, I am willing to dedicate all the treasures to His Highness, and I only ask His Highness to let me go to Mount Emei to have an errand." ”
The goods took a few steps forward on his knees again, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you let Zhi Cao sit in Emei, although the old monk's Dharma is high, he doesn't know how to change, if there are villains to help behind, it will definitely make Emei become a holy place for the Buddha in the hearts of the people." ”
Han Yue laughed, and suddenly leaned down and lowered his voice: "You are also interesting, you know what this king needs." Very good, very good, the true Buddha also needs to be promoted, your means are really good, or not, if you can really give the treasure, this king can let you go to Mount Emei to enjoy the blessings. Treasure can save the suffering people, I guarantee that you can live out your old age in peace......"
The host of the Big Buddha Temple was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Han Yue, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, the villain will only be the head of His Highness from now on, and I will never dare to beat the chicken if you let me beat the dog." ”
This is vulgar, at first glance, it is a leper from the market, Han Yue couldn't help but sneer, and quipped: "It seems that the investigation of the Dark Moon Dragon Guard is correct, you and Dongdu are clearly two gangsters." ”
The host of the Big Buddha Temple laughed and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, the villain is now called Zhiyuan, although he doesn't know anything about Buddhism, but his seniority is extremely noble, I and the old monk Zhicao can be called brothers, and the people of the world also take me as half a Buddha......"
"Alright, don't show off your importance anymore!"
Han Yue interrupted him with a sudden wave of his hand, and said with a leisurely expression: "This king doesn't care what you did before, I only look at what you do in the future." ”
After speaking, he suddenly turned around and walked a few steps towards the gate of the Big Buddha Temple, he looked at the people in the distance, and asked Zhiyuan in a deep voice: "Three treasures, how much money is there?" ”
After these words were asked, he couldn't hear the movement behind him for a long time, Han Yue frowned, and there was a coldness in his heart.
He turned around sharply with a gloomy face, ready to scold Zhiyuan a few words, but after turning around, he was suddenly stunned, and his face showed a strange and stunned look.
But seeing Zhiyuan kneeling there pitifully, his two hands were moving vigorously, and his ten fingers were counted and counted, and he soon became full of sorrow and scratching his ears and cheeks.
Han Yue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "You can't count how much money you have?" ”
Zhiyuan raised his head blankly, and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, three treasures, for a full thirty years, the villain and Dongdu got money and buried it in it, I really don't know how much money I can have......"
These words made Han Yue's heart happy, and he couldn't help but step forward, he suddenly reached out and dragged the volunteer from the ground, and threw it to Niu Jinda not far away at any time.
Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "What does the handsome mean?" ”
Han Yue glanced at him and said, "Take him to the palace." ”
Niu Jinda was stunned again, but then reacted, nodded and praised: "The handsome man is thoughtful, and the general admires it very much." ”
Buddhism has been looting treasures for thirty years, and this wealth is probably several times more than the treasury of the entire Tang Dynasty, Han Yue asked Niu Jinda to take Zhiyuan to the palace, which means that he will not embezzle this money alone.
At this time, the slashing of the Great Buddha Temple had completely stopped, and the soldiers were carefully cleaning the battlefield, and several generals suddenly hurried over and said respectfully: "Your Highness Wan'an, we have something to ask." Only then did I find that the Big Buddha Temple has more than 20 golden Buddha statues, as high as one zhang, towering and abnormal, under the light of the torch, showing the golden brilliance. The last general and the others originally thought that they were just smeared with gold dust, but they found that it was all made of pure gold with a knife stroke......"
Han Yue was stunned for a moment, and said dumbfoundedly: "There are more than twenty Buddha statues, all of which are made of gold?" ”
"Yes!" Several generals were obviously also shocked, and said with burning eyes: "Not only is it made of gold, but also the height is enough to have a zhang, although the Buddha statue is generally cast in the hollow method, but such a tall Buddha statue is still shocking to the world, and the last general and others roughly calculated, I am afraid that each Buddha statue is not less than two thousand catties." ”
Han Yue Huo Ran turned around, stared coldly at Zhiyuan, the host of the Big Buddha Temple, and said angrily: "A Buddha statue is 2,000 catties, and twenty is 40,000 catties, which is equivalent to 720,000 taels (18 taels and 1 catties in ancient times), which is equivalent to 7.2 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to copper coins, and is equivalent to copper coins......
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, he suddenly took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "The copper coin is close to seventy-three million yuan!" ”
Don't wonder Han Yue is so annoyed, the Buddha statue in the Big Buddha Temple is too amazing, just a Buddhist temple, and it costs 70 million yuan to cast the golden body of the Buddha statue.
"This king was going to build a 100,000 town, and the whole country issued bonds to raise 80 million yuan, and you spent 70 million yuan to build a Buddha statue in a Buddhist temple!"
He turned abruptly to look at the countless buildings of the Great Buddha Temple, and said angrily: "Coupled with this temple covering an area of thousands of acres, as well as countless pavilions and pavilions, the cost is more than one million, it is comparable to the imperial palace." This king should have destroyed the Dongdu Buddha early, and every brick and tile was the blood of the people. ”
Zhiyuan's face was pale, and he bowed his head in panic.
The thing looked left and right, and said pitifully: "Your Highness, Your Highness, this matter is all Dongdu's idea, and the villain didn't want to do it at the beginning." I only like to bury treasures, but Dongdu said that he wanted to use his golden body to show his power. ”
"Damn it!"
Han Yue clenched his fists, only to feel that there was a fire in his heart.
The generals next to him looked at each other, and one of them cautiously leaned over and said, "Your Highness, now is not the time to be angry, the Great Buddha Temple has been destroyed and there are no monks, and these golden bodies can't stay in place." ”
"Smash it!" Han Yue suddenly shouted, and said, "Order all the soldiers to raise their swords and smash these twenty Buddha statues for me." ”
The generals were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Your Highness, this is an extremely exquisite Buddha statue, not to mention its own value, the manpower consumed in casting alone is as high as hundreds of thousands." The last general and others thought that it was better to keep it. Why don't you take the Buddha statue to your mansion or send it to the Imperial Palace's Internal Affairs Office? ”
Niu Jinda took two steps forward and whispered: "These things can be used as treasures of the town treasury, it's a pity to smash them......"
"Smash it, I say smash it!"
Han Yue completely ignored everyone's persuasion, and resolutely gave the order again, there was obviously a spurt of anger in his eyes, and Sen Ran said: "This king doesn't want blood-stained money, and he doesn't want to collect any Buddha statues." What I need to smash them into gold and pay off the debt of the bonds issued that year. What about the beauty of the Buddha statues? The people of the world are still waiting to eat! ”
Everyone looked at each other, still a little hesitant.
Han Yue turned around abruptly and strode to the steps at the entrance of the Buddhist temple, he stood on the steps and shouted loudly into the distance, shouting: "Did you hear it, this king can smash out 700,000 taels of gold tonight, which is equivalent to more than 70 million copper coins, and you can repay the principal of the bonds you purchased first." ”
Wow –
There was an uproar in the distance, and hundreds of people exclaimed.
Tonight, the whole city is cleaning the blood stains, and the entire Chang'an people are almost all on the streets, Han Yue's shout was issued, and the people immediately rushed to tell each other, but in just a few teas, the street where the Big Buddha Temple is located is densely packed with people.
Han Yue suddenly turned to look inside the Buddhist temple again, and shouted to several generals in a deep voice: "Isn't this king's order useless? I let you smash it. ”
"The last general, listen to the order!" Niu Jinda obviously felt Han Yue's anger and hurriedly took the lead to accept the military order.
Although the generals behind were reluctant, they also hurriedly gave up their hands and responded.
The next moment, Dan saw these generals draw their swords and rush towards the main hall, and at the same time shouted orders to greet hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of whom climbed up to the Buddha statue with their weapons, and picked up their swords and clanked their swords.
Under the light of the torches, countless gold nuggets fell, and hundreds of people outside the Buddhist temple cheered and shook the sky, and many people couldn't help but crowd to the door to watch.
"Gold, it's all gold...... someone is squirting hot air, and his whole body is restless.
Some people burst into tears and choked up: "The temple is rolling on a donkey for a long time, year after year. The wife and children at home are half starved to death, and the golden body is full of hard-earned money. ”
Han Yue was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at this person, and said softly: "Have you ever read?" ”
The people's faces were full of vicissitudes, and at first glance they were weathered peasants, but his words just now were clearly like poetry, although they were superficial but had depth.
When he heard Han Yue's question, he suddenly bent down and saluted, and said with tears in his eyes: "I have also read it for a few years, but unfortunately I can't continue." Born in a poor family, he couldn't throw papers, he was first suppressed by the family, and then he was harassed by Confucianism, and he struggled for half his life, and his wife and children couldn't even eat enough. I had no choice but to go to the temple and borrow a donkey to roll, and I couldn't turn over and live well......"
Han Yue clenched his fists, and suddenly said, "There should be a lot of humble scholars like you, right?" ”
The man smiled bitterly and muttered, "Where can you still be considered a scholar, you have already been lying in the muddy water and farming." It is difficult to get a noble son from a poor family, and it is impossible to get ahead in reading. ”
"This is the king's way to do this!" Han Yue suddenly spoke, his face extremely solemn.
"You're going to do it?"
