Lin Fang said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, what I said is true, and don't look down on beggars, beggars are also very rich."

At least the beggars in Lin Fang's era were really rich.

But this is not necessarily the case in this era.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dissatisfied and muttered in his heart when he saw his tone was so determined.

Is Buddhism really rich?

No way?

Then he felt a little more curious.

"Then tell me."

Seeing that His Majesty was actually interested, all the civil and military officials opened their mouths to persuade him.

Even if someone is a Buddhist and has money.

But we big men are not robbers and bandits, so how can we get motivated by wealth? Your Majesty, we all know that you are poor, but you can't do this either.

If it really doesn't work, let's marry two beautiful concubines and raise money to replenish the national treasury for you.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, they closed it again.

Your Majesty just said to shut up. If they continue to speak now, they will be disobeying the order and will be beheaded.

Lin Fang laughed and said: "First of all, this Buddhism was built to make trouble. Whether it is common people or dignitaries, it is easier to find them, and it is easier for them to come into contact with dignitaries."

"Secondly, Buddhist teachings also help people eliminate disasters and solve problems, and are in line with people's thoughts."

"In addition, Buddhism accepts alms."

"Moreover, Buddhism does not need to pay taxes when it invades land and grows food crops."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little disappointed.

He thought Lin Fang could say something shocking.

I didn’t expect this!!

He also knew this, but it didn't mean anything. After all, Taoism was built in deep mountains with poor roads, and the rest of the content was very close to Buddhism.

Taoism has been preaching in Nanfangbuzhou for thousands of years, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Should those Taoist priests be poor or poor?

Could it be that if you change the monks and come here, you can become rich?

"What's this?"

Lin Fangsha said matter-of-factly: "Of course there is a problem. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Buddhism occupies land and grows food crops without paying taxes is enough for them to make a lot of money."

At this moment, the civil and military officials also started thinking.

Some of them have already figured out what's going on.

Brother Monkey was also thoughtful.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a moment and asked: "Is there any problem with this?"

Lin Fang sneered and said: "If I were a wealthy businessman and had a large piece of ancestral property, but the court taxed me, I didn't want to pay, and I happened to have a good relationship with the abbot of a certain temple..."

He didn't say anything further, but the idea was already there.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood immediately.

"The wealthy businessman can put his ancestral property in the name of the temple without paying taxes."

"Although the monks in the temple did not really take the land, the wealthy businessmen will definitely not treat them badly."

Lin Fang nodded with satisfaction.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed a bit of anger on his face.

The nature of this matter is really too bad, and it clearly shows the foundation of a stubborn man.

If the country cannot collect taxes, its treasury will be further reduced. Then what will he use to fight? After defeating the Huns, he also wants people to go to the Western Regions.

I heard that there are many countries there.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Qing: "Go and have someone check to see if this is the case."

Wei Qing took the order and went.

A smile appeared on Lin Fang's lips.

The reason why he dared to brag about Haikou to Yuanshi Tianzun in the first place was because of this. In history, Buddhism was destroyed several times. In addition to political factors, it was not only because Buddhism really had a lot of money.

Who wouldn’t want this opportunity to get rich?

And it’s a wave of wealth for the right reasons.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Lin Fang and said with a smile, "Does your Excellency have anything else to do?"

Lin Fang shook his head.

His purpose has been achieved.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "Then please move to Weiyang Palace. I have already asked people to prepare a banquet. I will welcome you two and wash away the dust."

He was in a really good mood at this moment.

If what Lin Fang said is true, it would really be a windfall.

At that time, not only the monks' homes will be ransacked, but also those of wealthy businessmen. The money gained will be huge, and the national treasury will not be so empty, and he will also have money to fight wars.

Afterwards, everyone came to Weiyang Palace.

Everyone eats and drinks.

After a while, everyone got excited about playing, and a group of old men started to drink like crazy.

Lin Fang was also a little confused after drinking.

Brother Monkey is pretty good.

Yang Chan sat quietly next to him and poured wine for him.

Lin Fang, on the other hand, stared with two big blurred eyes, drinking wine one sip after another.

At this moment, a little girl suddenly appeared next to her. She looked at Lin Fang with admiration, her eyes shining brightly.

"Are you Lin Fang?"

Lin Fang nodded.

"Then can you speak?"

Lin Fang: "..."

"What do you want to say?"

"Hey, I just want to ask, do you usually curl up?"

Lin Fang: "???"

"Why are you asking this?"

The little girl smiled and said: "You are a god. I heard... others say that gods don't even eat, so naturally they don't have to do anything if they don't eat, so I just want to know more about it."

Lin Fang still didn't understand.

"Why do you need to know this?"

"Just curious."

So Lin Fang patted her shoulder earnestly and said, "Gods don't curl up."

The little girl is very happy.

Then……

"Then if you don't curl up, where will the water you drink go?"

"Also, after becoming a god, will you no longer have a digestive system? I heard that you still have some realm of fasting. Have you lost your stomach through cultivation?"

Why is the little girl the same as a hundred thousand people?

Lin Fang: "..."

If the little girl hadn't looked so serious, he would have thought she was here to cause trouble.

"The water you drink is naturally absorbed by your body."

"Then why does my body absorb the water I drink and it still curls up?"

How should Lin Fang answer this?

He doesn't know either.

"Nonsense, beautiful girls don't know how to curl up."

He can only use such words to confuse the audience.
