Businesses like Liushui Brand actually rely on credibility to operate.
How to put it, this kind of business is like holding a spinning ball on a huge lever.
And reputation is the fulcrum that supports that lever.
Which is the most reputable place in Jinyang?
It must be the Great Buddhist Temple.
It took Master Chengkong sixty years and his own life to build the Iron Buddha!
As long as this iron Buddha exists, the soul of the Great Buddha Temple will remain and will be passed down forever.
If Yunchu wanted to rebuild the Liushui brand in Jinyang, he must first give the merchants in Hedong a point of confidence. Yunchu felt that the reputation of the Dafo Temple was good, so he decided to use 60,000 yuan to sell part of the reputation of the Dafo Temple and inject it into the Liushui brand.
inside.
Master Hanshan obviously wanted to refuse. As a Jinyang native, he also knew the current situation of Jinyang Liushui brand.
However, the figure of 60,000 yuan made it difficult for him to refuse!
Although the old mage's character was very noble, 60,000 Guan was a number calculated by Yun Chu himself. This number was neither too much nor too little.
If you give too much, Master Hanshan will think it is a fraud. If the amount is small, Master will think it is not worth it. Sixty thousand guan is exactly the cost of Master Chengkong to cast the iron Buddha, and it can also solve all the problems of the Great Buddha Temple.
Just after Yunchu drank six glasses of water from the Great Buddha Temple and went to the toilet twice, Master Hanshan finally nodded in agreement.
So, when Master Hanshan personally escorted 60,000 gu in cash to the Jinyang trading hall, and claimed that this was the fund that would be used to repair the Buddhist statue in the Great Buddha Temple ten years later, there were only a few people on the Liushui brand.
The value of bulk goods immediately began to rise.
At the same time, Yun Chu personally visited the Jinyang trading hall, and under the watchful eyes of countless people, injected 500,000 yuan in cash into Jinyang Liushui Brand. This made the Jinyang trading hall's guaranteed funds instantly
It increased to 560,000 yuan.
Yunchu personally sat in the Jinyang trading hall, and even sat on the edge of the flowing water sign, personally transcribing their quotations for the merchants present.
As a result, the sound of clamps crossing the iron wire, which had not been heard in the Jinyang trading hall for a long time, sounded again in the trading hall. As soon as it started, it did not stop until the bell was struck and the door was closed.
Liu Kefei, the shopkeeper of Da Zhao in the Jinyang trading hall, excitedly came to Yun Chu, who had a hoarse voice, holding a thick stack of documents and said: "Junhou, two hundred and twenty-seven copies, the transaction volume has reached 30% of what it was before the accident.
"
Yunchu took a sip of warm water and nodded.
He knew that the reason why he was able to do 30% of the previous work today was because of the 500,000 guan margin he brought. 30% of the trading volume, which is 110,000 guan, will still rise in the future, but
, 500,000 guan should be a hurdle. Only when the transaction volume exceeds 560,000 guan can the credibility be slowly established.
After all, what Yunchu and the others want to make is short money created by relying on reputation.
In the next three days, Yunchu stayed in the trading hall, but instead of doing anything himself, he sat on the second floor of the trading hall, drinking tea by himself.
In the past three days, the transaction volume of Jinyang Liushui Brand has been growing steadily, and the goods that have gradually disappeared from Liushui Brand in the past are also slowly being replenished.
On the fourth day, Yunchu received an old nun dressed in shackles at Jinyangguanyi.
Although she is said to be an old nun, she is actually only in her thirties, and her face is very delicate. However, there is a deep old-fashioned air about her.
The old nun claimed to be Huiyuan, the host of Mingda Temple.
Yunchu, the monk naturally knew the meaning of the word Mingda. The word Mingda is a commonly used vocabulary in Buddhism. Ming refers to the three mings, and ta refers to the three dharma. It is called sanming in Arhats, and it is called sanda in Buddha. It symbolizes wisdom and understanding of worldly affairs.
.
At the same time, Mingda also represents Li Mingda, the princess of the Tang Dynasty who died young, also known as Princess Jinyang.
After hearing that the princess of Jinyang, who was extremely favored by Emperor Taizong and the current emperor, died, the grief-stricken Emperor Taizong ordered to use the remaining money earned by Princess Jinyang Tang Muyi to build a Buddhist temple in Jinyang to honor his daughter.
In this case, the host of this Mingda Nunnery should be the female officials, palace maids, and nuns who were around Princess Jinyang in the past.
Yun Chu is now wearing monk robes, so he is naturally a monk. It is naturally a very normal thing for a monk and a nun to sit across from each other and drink tea.
"Mingda'an now has a surplus of 50,000 yuan."
After Master Huiyuan explained his purpose clearly in one sentence, Yun Chu immediately fell in love with the feeling of dealing with people from the Buddhist sect.
After all, only by dealing with Buddhism can we get meat and vegetables, and the meat and vegetables will make everyone glow red and live with a hundred times more energy.
"Forty thousand guan. Mingda Temple and Dafo Temple share a quota of 100,000 guan."
Master Huiyuan said: "When Princess Jinyang passed away, Emperor Taizong did not take back Princess Jinyang's Tangmuyi residence. His Majesty also did not issue an order to take back Tangmuyi residence after he ascended the throne. After many years, the money was accumulated in Mingda'an.
Mingda Nunnery is a place of spiritual cultivation. It is not a good thing to have so much money. The poor nun decided to invest all the money in this water sign. He only needs to withdraw a small amount of money every year to support the Buddhist activities at Mingda Nunnery."
After listening to what Hui Yuan said, Yun Chu found that he had unknowingly fallen in love with this Jinyang princess whose nickname was Si Zi, or Little Rhinoceros.
Even though she died long ago, it feels like she is still alive.
"Amitabha, just as Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang wished, if there is any leftover, the shopkeepers of the trading hall will build some orphanages at selected locations, and provide food and clothing every year. The exchange will ensure that everything is complete, and it is called
——Mingdayuan.”
Master Huiyuan asked carefully: "Can it be practiced nearby? Can the practitioners of Mingda Temple personally take care of it after practicing?"
Yun Chu put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, if the practitioners in your temple have such enlightenment, they will surely achieve Anuttarasamyaksambodhi."
Master Huiyuan's originally gray eyes suddenly gained a glimmer of light, and he continued to ask in a low voice: "When will Mingda Monastery be built?"
Yunchu said with a smile: "Then it depends on the evil people near Mingda Nunnery who often harass Mingda Nunnery."
Master Huiyuan clasped his hands together, glanced at Yunchu secretly, and said: "There is a large house near Mingda Temple. It is a villa owned by Hedong County Duke Pei Ji. It is quite noisy on weekdays, but the owner is overbearing. I wonder if it is too embarrassing.
Master Wukong?"
Yun Chu said with a smile: "It's not difficult. Ever since I came to Jinyang, I have been hindered by people everywhere. I am already depressed and it is difficult to calm down. I rely on Buddhism to suppress it, but I don't know that Buddha can also get angry."
Master Huiyuan looked at Yunchu and said: "In that case, please ask Master Wukong to send someone to Mingda Temple to carry the money. It's too late and there is no doubt that there will be changes."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
After that, he summoned the army commander Ma Wangdao from Zhechong Prefecture in Shangzhou and Liu Kefei, the big shopkeeper of Jinyang Liushui brand.
Yunchu said to Liu Rengui's cousin Liu Kefei: "Mingda'an has fifty thousand dollars. You and Wang Dao will bring five hundred soldiers and horses to get it."
Having said this, he glanced at the hopeful Master Huiyuan again and said to Wang Dao.
"When transporting money and food, there will be a lot of noise. It is best to advertise it widely and take away what is hidden in Mingda Temple in full view of the public."
Wang Dao was naturally a smart man and immediately asked: "If there is any obstruction, what about the people who destroy it?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "His Majesty's decree has been made known to the world. If the world, officials, or private individuals act rashly and embezzle the funds in the exchange's capital pool - beheaded!"
Wang Dao understood and asked again: "Will it affect the whole clan?"
Yun Chu glanced at Master Huiyuan and said with a smile, "What do you think, Master?"
Master Huiyuan hurriedly avoided Yun Chu's aggressive gaze, waved his hand and said: "Amitabha, what Mingda Temple seeks is nothing but peace."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "Pei has repeatedly obstructed my efforts to rebuild the capital pool, which is particularly hateful. If they dare to touch them, we will kill them all."
Wang Dao bowed and accepted the order, and hurried out to do something with Liu Kefei and an old nun brought by Master Huiyuan.
Yunchu poured a cup of tea for Master Huiyuan and said, "Master, wait a moment. After today, all your worries will disappear. From now on, you only need to chant sutras and pray for Princess Jinyang, and take care of Mingda Courtyard in your free time."
Just the orphans in it.”
Master Huiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you so much, sir, for not committing any crime."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "This is a matter of mutual benefit, master, there is no need to apologize."
Master Huiyuan said: "The only taboo about Mingda Nunnery in the Pei family is that every year on the anniversary of the death of Princess Jinyang, the poor nun will write a memorial, and His Majesty will often reply with a letter. Unfortunately, in the past three years, the memorial
His appearance was like a yellow crane, and there was not a single reply, which attracted countless ambitious people who coveted Mingda'an's wealth."
Yun Chu held up the tea cup and invited him to drink. Master Hui Yuan also raised his cup and drank happily. He drank so freely that tea dripped from the corner of his mouth and wetted the robe on his chest.
Yun Chu avoided his gaze and murmured in his mind: "Could it be that I have been framed and the reputation of loving old women has spread all over the world?"
Accepting Princess Jinyang's money into the capital pool will be of great benefit to Jinyang Liushui Brand without any harm.
He never expected that the small Mingda Temple would even provide him with a good opportunity to kill someone and establish his authority.
The former female official named Hui Yuan may not know it, but Yun Chu knows that Emperor Li Zhi's love for Princess Jinyang will not change over time.
After Li Zhi has tasted all kinds of tastes in the world, perhaps now only when he recalls the time he spent growing up with Princess Jinyang will his mouth feel a little sweet.
Li Zhi would definitely applaud loudly for killing anyone who was rude to the dead Princess Jinyang. He might even kill the person himself and kill the corpse again. I believe that with Wu Mei's personality, he would definitely be able to do it. After all, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
is benevolent, while the queen of the Tang Dynasty is the god of murder.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor is accelerating to put a shit basin on the queen's head, and the queen is also accelerating to seize power. At present, it depends on whether the two will merge.
After all, Li Zhi at this time was much tougher than the Li Zhi recorded in history books.
Yunchu really hoped that one day he could see the couple fighting each other in armor... What a grand scene that would be...
