Blood spurted out, and Wang Pu's hem was a bright red. He lowered his head and looked at the lump of flesh under the Buddha statue, with all its muscles and bones broken and no human form. He sighed and said, "Why bother!"

He then said to the sad old monks: "Don't worry, I will be buried well and buried well!"

Several old monks put their hands together to express their gratitude to Wang Pu, and then found a corner to sit and chant sutras, probably to pray for the martyr who had just died.

Probably only civil servants like Wang Pu would feel sad about the spring and autumn. The soldiers had never seen any tragic scenes before the battle, so they didn't take it to heart at all. They took off the rope and hurriedly went to the temple to search for other Buddha statues.

The copper candlesticks and alms bowls are also included.

Seeing a group of people trying to dismantle the big copper bell on the Bell and Drum Tower, Xu Xian stopped them. Everyone in Kaifeng was pointing to this bell to tell the time, and the bell sounded melodious and beautiful, so it couldn't be replaced with an iron one.

Seeing that the important matter had been decided, Xu Xian took the account books and left the temple, preparing to enter the palace to report to Chai Rong. As soon as he left the temple, he was frightened. There were actually many people standing outside the temple, and there were many people standing outside the temple.

There are women with a stooped figure and gray hair, some are graceful and beautiful, some are ragged and have yellow muscles, and some are rich and well-dressed in gold and jade.

The only thing they have in common is that all of them have evil faces filled with indignation. You can tell without asking that they are all good men and women from Kaifeng City.

"Why do you want monks to return to secular life? Why do you want to rob temples of money? Isn't it enough to harm us common people? You damn dogs will definitely be punished!"

A white-haired old woman burst into tears, ignoring the usual ferocity of Uncle Bing. She pointed at Xu Xian with trembling hands and cursed angrily. She looked so heartbroken that she thought Xu Xian had dug up her family's ancestral graves and harmed her.

granddaughter.

Someone raised his head, and everyone began to curse. At first, a few words of greetings to the women in Xu Xian's family could be heard, but soon it became a chaotic place where no one could hear anything.

Anyway, they won't lose a piece of meat, so they only have this ability to let them scold them. How could they know that Chai Rong's destruction of Buddha is beneficial and harmless to them? They are really a group of people who don't distinguish between right and wrong.

Hey, where did the vegetable leaves come from?

When Xu Xian took off the rotten vegetable leaves on his shoulder and prepared to look for the murderer, he saw more vegetable leaves flying towards him like rain. Xu Xian quickly picked up his head, only regretting that he could not run very fast because of his injured feet.

"Xu Xian, you are a wicked person!"

There was a very familiar voice. Xu Xian turned around and saw that his wife was taking an egg from the basket and throwing it at him. Next to him, his mother-in-law and the future empress dowager was actually taking off her shoes...

As they learned, the attacks of the believers were instantly upgraded, just like the ordinary bows and arrows were replaced by crossbows with thick barrels. By the time Xu Xian ran out of the attack range, he had already received countless blows, and his body was covered with yellow mucus and eggshells.

.

But the instigator actually laughed at him. Although there was no laughter, Chai Rong's shoulders were obviously shaking, and it took a long time for him to stop.

"Well!" Chai Rong turned around again and reached out to take off the eggshell on Xu Xian's head, "Zhixian has been wronged."

"It is the duty of a minister to share your worries with you, and you dare not complain!"

"Yeah!" Chai Rong nodded and said, "How much money was found in Xiangguo Temple?"

Xu Xian took out the account book from his arms and handed it to Chai Rong and reported: "Currently, it is estimated that there are about 3.8 million gold and silver coins in Xiangguo Temple, 5 million copper coins, 3 million bronze utensils, and many more.

The pledged items include antique calligraphy and paintings, ancient jade, and even shops and residences, and the value must be estimated one by one."

Chai Rong's eyes almost popped out of his head, "There are tens of millions of them? It's really unexpected!"

"They have accumulated this wealth through business operations for more than a hundred years. In addition, they usually live frugally. It is not surprising that this is the case."

"It's just that now they are all cheap to me. One temple can make you rich as a country. How many temples are there in this week's 30,000?" Chai Rong's eyes shone, and his black pupils seemed to have turned into Brother Kong Fang.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to give too much hope. I thought only the famous temples in the east and west capitals could have such wealth!"

Chai Rong nodded and said: "I am greedy. When I was doing business in the early years, I saw that some temples accommodated tens of thousands of refugees. Even the richest people were mostly eaten up. Only the east and west capitals could stabilize the believers.

Rich temples do the least to provide relief to the refugees."

"The presiding monk of Xiangguo Temple committed suicide. The public opinion in the market will not be very good at that time. I am afraid that Your Majesty will inevitably be criticized by everyone, so it is better to be mentally prepared!"

There was not much pity on Chai Rong's face, but instead there was some sullenness in his eyes, "I know, I can handle these trivial matters myself. Zhixian has worked hard these past two days, so go home and rest for a few days."

Can he still rest after going home? Xu Xian doesn't think so. Zhao Ningxiu and Du's mother and daughter will definitely let him know what dangers are in the world.

"By the way, Wei Chen still has something to report!"

"If you have anything to say, Zhixian, just tell me. You know what I don't like the most is hiding something."

"The wealth of Xiangguo Temple is the result of hundreds of years of hard work. There are still more than one million guan borrowed outside and have not been recovered. At the same time, there are 600,000 guan left by others in the temple, and Wei Chen also deposited 300,000 guan in the temple.

"Generally speaking, you can check Xiangguo Temple's account book if you check the receipt..."

"You want to get your money back. Others don't believe you have 300,000 coins. Why don't I believe it? There are still a lot of copper coins in Xiangguo Temple. I wrote a handwriting to Wang Pu and you can get it yourself!"

"Three hundred thousand copper coins, I have no place to put them even if I take them out. What I mean is, why doesn't Your Majesty take over the deposit and loan business of Xiangguo Temple? Not only for long-term profits, but also to save people in distress and prosper the economy.

It will be of great benefit to people’s livelihood.”

If there were another emperor, Xu Xian would definitely scold Xu Xian, but Chai Rong was different. He was a businessman before, and he probably borrowed money from the temple. Although the interest rate was so high that it made people jump and scold him, but it was true.

Solve urgent needs.

The emperor did not worry but the eunuch became anxious. The old mutou scolded: "You are talking nonsense. In the end, your majesty used to do business because of his livelihood. Now he is the lord of the people. How can he have anything to do with merchants anymore."

Xu Xian immediately retorted: "Besides slashing people with knives, all you do is drink, eat meat and visit the brothels. Isn't it true that the imperial court is also in charge of the sale of salt, wine, tea and iron?"

"That's different. Salt, wine, tea and iron are related to people's livelihood. The business you are talking about is drinking human blood. Don't think that I don't understand anything. That money is too dirty for Your Majesty to touch."

Chai Rong said with a smile: "The money is indeed not clean and not as smelly as you think, but Lao Mu is right about one thing. I am the emperor now, and as an emperor, I should act like an emperor. You are also considered a family member.

If you are rich, you might as well do it yourself. I can make a share of the things and account books copied from Xiangguo Temple for you, and you can just share the profits with me."

Xu Xian's eyes lit up, "Seriously?"
