Everyone present looked at Fan Qinghui and others with complicated eyes.
Fan Qinghui's expression did not change.
After decades of traveling in the world, I have never seen any big storms or waves. Some 'small' looks of incomprehension are just a few, no big deal.
The 'truth' is in the hands of the victors. With their Buddhist strength, it won't take long for them to occupy an important position in Wagang Village.
At that time, they will still be "just and awe-inspiring" decent leaders.
As for the question of whether Fang Mu will accept it?
Feel sorry.
She hadn't thought about it.
With their Buddhist strength, would Fang Mu refuse?
How is that possible!
If they had a 90% chance of winning the world before, by joining their Buddhist sect, the chance would almost soar to 10%!
Who would refuse such an offer!!
"Help? Sorry, I don't need it."
Fang Mu smiled slightly.
"unnecessary?"
Fan Qinghui was stunned.
Could it be that their attitude is not low enough?
She frowned slightly.
As a Buddhist leader, it is not easy for her to do what she just did.
If they lower their posture again, where will their Buddhist reputation be placed?
but.
After all, this is Buddhism's only option.
"Young people, it's normal to be young and energetic. We were so targeted at him before, so it's natural for us to complain. If we don't lower our attitude, how can he accept it?"
Fan Qinghui felt that for the sake of Buddha and the common people in the world, what did it matter if she suffered a little injustice?
Just when she was sorting out her words and preparing to speak again.
Fang Mu spoke again.
"You know, the reason why I came here is not only because of Luoyang, but also because of your Buddhism."
"Because we are Buddhists?"
Fan Qinghui's heart skipped a beat.
When she heard the news, she didn't know why, not only was she not happy at all, but she felt deeply uneasy.
From Fang Mu's tone, she couldn't hear the slightest intention to recruit them.
If it is not solicitation, then
Fan Qinghui had some very bad guesses in her mind.
Fang Mu looked at the huge copper palace in front of him with an incomprehensible expression.
In today's era, copper is quite valuable. From the fact that the country's monetary system is built with copper, we can know the status of copper.
Silver is only a semi-folk system.
Because there are almost no silver mines in the Central Plains, before the Ming Dynasty, the silver in the Central Plains was basically transferred from Japan.
However, Japan is such a big place and there is not much money available.
The amount spread to the Central Plains is even smaller, and it is not suitable to become a national currency at all.
It was not until after the Ming Dynasty that giant silver mines were discovered in America due to the great voyages. Due to various reasons, a large amount of this silver flowed into the Central Plains, and silver gradually improved its status.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, copper was basically equivalent to money!
A hall made entirely of copper, can you imagine how much it is worth?
It is definitely more than enough to support an army of ten thousand people!
And this is just one of the Buddhist temples.
And this copper hall is just one of the assets of Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
"The previous policies of Buddhism are not working! They must be changed! I will not destroy the Buddha, but I will change the 'Buddha'! If I ascend the throne, I will definitely abolish the fact that Buddhism does not need to pay taxes!"
The square wood cuts the iron road.
Why does Buddhism have so much money?
Apart from some unspeakable gray income, the biggest reason is that Buddhist property does not have to be taxed!
This has gathered tremendous wealth for Buddhism!
Fang Mu is not opposed to making money, but they must rationalize it!
Everyone else pays taxes, so why don’t you?
no!
All must be treated equally!
Pay taxes!
Fan Qinghui suddenly turned pale.
This is touching the lifeblood of Buddhism!
"Fang Mu, do you know what it means when you do this?"
She doesn't care about anything else now.
Why is Buddhism so powerful?
Because there are endless eminent monks?
That's just one of the reasons.
The virtuous and eminent monks only determined the upper limit of Buddhism, which is the fundamental reason why Buddhism has been passed down for so many years and continues to grow.
It's because of money!
The economic foundation determines the basis of strength.
The simplest thing.
Without money, how can Jing Nian Monastery support hundreds of warrior monks?
Poor in literature and rich in martial arts.
This sentence is more than just words.
The daily consumption of food by warriors is several times that of ordinary people!
This is still the most basic food consumption, and does not include the consumption of various training resources.
Just a rough calculation, you will know how terrible the warrior's consumption of money is!
If Fang Mu really plans to do that, the overall strength of Buddhism will drop by at least 30%.
"Of course I know."
Fang Mu said calmly.
Once he decides to do this, the entire Buddhist sect will fight against him!
The kind that will never stop until death!
He set his sights on Fan Qinghui and others.
"So, for the sake of the peace of the world, you must solve it!"
The four great holy monks, Zen Master Liao Kong, Fan Qinghui, and Shi Fei Xuan, these seven people represent almost half of the peak combat power of Buddhism!
In this world of warriors, peak combat power determines everything!
As long as the seven of them are eliminated, even if there is unrest in Buddhism, Fang Mu can easily solve it.
"Deal with us? What a big statement!"
Lord Emperor Xin was angry, he was completely stimulated by Fang Mu's words!
To be honest, if you can be called a holy monk, you still have some moral character.
For example, Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, was a great eminent monk who left his name in history.
On weekdays, they often do good deeds.
But these things are completely different from paying taxes.
They may not be able to see how harmful it is to a country if Buddhism as a whole does not pay taxes.
If it is only a small group of people, the impact of not paying land tax may not be that great.
But Buddhism is too big!
In an era when most of a country's income relied on land taxes, Buddhism was already large enough to affect the living standards of people all over the world.
Some compassionate holy monks have even considered related issues.
But when they think of the hundreds of thousands of monks in Buddhism, including their disciples and grandchildren who are waiting to be fed, what can they do?
We can only quietly help more poor people, that's all.
Change is absolutely impossible.
"Fang Mu, let me ask you one last time, do you really want to be the enemy of my entire Buddhist sect?"
Fan Qinghui said in a deep voice.
Fang Mu shook his head.
"I said, I just want to 'change' Buddhism. If you regard it as an enemy of Buddhism as a whole, then so be it!"
"Okay, okay!"
Fan Qinghui's face turned completely cold.
"Everyone, this is a battle for the great road! There is no retreat! There is only war!"
"Amitabha!"
Master Daoxin recited the Buddha's name and lowered his head.
