"Brother Chu Bi, we have just received the consecration certificates from four eminent monks from various monasteries in Luoyang."

"All kinds of consecration certificates add up to less than twenty. You just asked Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Bank to purchase so many Buddhist artifacts in such a hurry. Isn't it too hasty?"

Li Ke looked at the list compiled by Cheng Sanlang with a darkened face. Just seeing the gold-plated Diamond Sutra, there were five thousand copies.

There are also five hundred seated Guanyin statues, five hundred standing Guanyin statues, and a thousand Tathagata statues...

Li Ke felt that even if all the eminent monks and virtuous men in the Tang Dynasty stayed awake this year, they might not be able to illuminate so many Buddhist artifacts.

"Haha, good brother, I have a clever plan for you..." Cheng Chubi handed the form to Deng Chengxin and solemnly told him to handle it immediately.

Then he took the more than ten consecration certificates that Li Ke had obtained in his hand, looked at them carefully, and then took a small wooden box and put them all in.

"Okay, dear brother, I have something important to do and I have to go for a walk. While you are here, keep an eye on Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong and tell them not to be lazy."

Seeing that Brother Chubi actually wanted to leave him and run away, Li Ke suddenly became unhappy.

"Brother Chu Bi, wait a minute, my little brother will go with you."

Cheng Chubi glanced helplessly at his arm that was grabbed by Li Ke, and saw the other party's resentful eyes and expression like that of an abandoned woman.

I couldn't help but shudder subconsciously.

"Let go, you, that's all. If you really want to go, then as a brother, you will most likely know my secret."

"Don't worry, brother Chu Bi, I won't even kill you."

"Haha, dear brother, it's strange for me to believe you, a talented man who swears like drinking water and eating."

"How about this, come on, come on, there is paper and a pen here, you can write me a confidentiality agreement.

I said, you write it and give this confidentiality agreement to my brother. As long as you dare to leak a word to others..."

Seeing Brother Chu Bi's vicious and ferocious smile, Li Ke rolled his eyes. He was about to refuse, but then he heard Brother Chu Bi whisper something in his ear.

Li Ke gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and sat in front of the desk. "Chengchengcheng, my little brother will write it, you say it."

Inside Cheng's University, there are three masters of copying, and Master Xu, a master of unorthodox calligraphy and painting who is famous in Chang'an, is also among them.

Now, the informal art creation of calligraphy and painting in the past has become his hobby.

And his current job is as a professor at Cheng University.

At this moment, they were all sitting in Cheng Sanlang's office with very serious expressions, facing Cheng Sanlang who had a very serious expression.

There was also the expression on the side of His Highness King Wu who looked a little, well...a little distracted.

"Principal Cheng, this is a confidentiality agreement between the old man and his two colleagues. Please ask Principal Cheng to check it."

Master Xu respectfully handed the three confidentiality contracts to Cheng Sanlang.

After Cheng Chubi took it, he looked at the three confidentiality contracts carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

The three confidentiality contracts were placed on the table, and in front of them, a confidentiality contract written by His Highness King Wu himself was placed in advance.

To use Cheng Sanlang's expression, since you are a prince and are involved in important secrets such as military affairs, you should at least set an example for everyone.

Otherwise, dear brother, you are not qualified to get involved in this important matter.

Li Ke, who was extremely curious about knowledge, could not give up the opportunity to discover the truth, so he happily wrote his confidentiality agreement.

In the end, Chu Bi took him to Cheng University, and found these three masters of improper art, and after some brainwashing.

These three art masters with patriotic enthusiasm also wrote confidentiality agreements.

"Okay, now what Cheng wants to tell you is that I need three masters to help me copy these sixteen consecration certificates..."

While Cheng Chubi was talking, he picked up the wooden box placed aside and took out sixteen pieces of hard yellow paper filled with words and stamps.

Cheng Chubi looked at the ten consecration certificates issued by eminent monks and eminent sages, feeling quite happy in his heart.

And because it has been explained in advance, the consecration certificates are all written in a more standardized manner and have a strong personal writing style.

Moreover, the personal seals and temple seals are all stamped very clearly without any blur.

"I need you to copy these consecration certificates exactly the same, especially the signatures."

"In addition, you are also required to make revisions after you are familiar with the handwriting of these authors.

For example, the words "Guanyin Seat Image" can be changed to "Buddha Seat Image", or "Maitreya Reclining Image", or "Guanyin Jade Image", or it can be changed to "Golden Sutra Flags"..."

Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi blankly, couldn't help but wipe his face, and finally understood, if Brother Chu Bi doesn't rectify his evil ways, is he still him?

#####

"Brother Chu Bi, if word spreads about what you did, it will be a big trouble..."

The two walked out of the public room, and Li Ke grabbed Brother Chu Bi, looking worried.

Cheng Chubi raised his eyebrows, looked around, and then whispered.

"You think I don't know? Otherwise, why would I ask you and those teachers to sign a confidentiality agreement?"

"...Brother Chu Bi, is it useful just for us to sign?" Li Ke spread his hands with a black look on his face, feeling helpless.

"My dear brother, your plan is really too small. You have to take a longer view on these things.

We have thousands of gold-gilded copies of the Diamond Sutra, and we also have this kind of consecration certificate. Do you think a small market like Goguryeo can accommodate it?"

"And dear brother, think about it carefully. The world is so big and there are so many countries that believe in Buddhism, but how many eminent Buddhist monks have the spare time to consecrate people every day?"

Li Ke's eyes instantly froze, and he looked straight at Cheng *Business Genius* Chu Bi with a sneaky expression in front of him.

Seeing that the prodigal son of the royal family was so shocked by his bold idea that he couldn't help himself, Cheng Chubi continued to speak triumphantly.

"In the land of Zhu, alone, there are many countries that believe in Buddhism, as well as those countries on the plateau.

In addition, there are those small barbarian countries further south in Jiannan Road, almost all of which believe in Buddhism."

"I saw these golden Buddhas, jade statues, scriptures, and magical instruments consecrated by the famous eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty..."

"The rich people in their country, why don't they get some and keep them at home as offerings or to show off?"

"If there is no cost for consecration, can it be called consecration? A small gold Buddha statue of one hundred guan, plus the consecration fee of 300 guan is not much, right?

Too much? Haha, it’s enough to show that your intention to consecrate the Buddha statue is not pious at all. If you don’t sell it, you won’t be able to sell it for even one copper.”
