That was forged with more than 100 million kilograms of copper material!
Too damn rich!
In the past, book fans may not have a concrete idea of the vast resources that Buddhism has, but when they saw the description of the Bronze Hall of Jing Nian Zen Monastery, they could not help but be deeply shocked.
How many copper coins can be made from a copper palace made entirely of fine copper?
Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jing Nian Chan Monastery is as rich as any country!
Not to mention, there is also the Eight Hundred Degrees Golden Arhat in the Zen Yuan Square!
Just when I heard Mr. Shu describe it, I felt a sense of humiliation coming over me.
Huo Qilin, a book lover, published a book review in the bimonthly magazine of Huiyou Bookstore and lamented: "The wealth of Buddhism is shocking. It is just Jingnian Zen Temple, the ancestral hall of eight Buddhist sects, Baima Temple and other well-known temples. It owns countless land and wealth, and controls the number of tenants.
One hundred thousand or even more than one million, and the number of monks is at least tens of thousands. No wonder in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, they could boast that they would 'choose the Lord from generation to generation'!"
The successor of Jingzhai is definitely the greatest high dynasty.
What a loud tone!
At this time, although Sui Emperor Yang Guang had lost his spirit and was waiting to die, he was not dead yet!
In other words, Jingzhai’s behavior is tantamount to rebellion!
This is completely inconsistent with Jingzhai’s self-proclaimed persona of being the leader of the Tao, the defender of order in the world, and even in the world!
But it just so happens that a group of heroes who have the strength to compete for the world will do this.
It's not because of Jingzhai's so-called status as the leader of the White Way, nor the jade seal that Jingzhai suddenly took out, but because of the Buddhist power that Jingzhai represents, which makes the heroes of the world dare not underestimate him, and eagerly rushes to join in. The successor of Jingzhai specially prepares for Li Er
The so-called 'Selection of Lords by Heaven' conference organized by Yang Ming!
Jingzhai's choice of Li Er was also full of calculations!
Ordinarily, Li Er's eldest brother is also the legitimate son of the Li family. His talents are not inferior to Li Er's, but in the end, he cannot catch the eye of the heirs of Jingzhai!
Isn't it that Li Da has already established a strong position in the Li family, and investing is just the icing on the cake, not a timely help, and unable to obtain the maximum benefit?
There is also the Imperial Seal, which reveals Jingzhai’s disloyalty as soon as it appears!
Can such a thing be mastered by a mere Jianghu sect, the so-called Baidao leader?
He keeps saying "Heaven chooses the Lord", and even takes out the jade seal passed down to him in order to build momentum. It is simply a wolfish ambition that cannot be tolerated in the court.
In short, as soon as this storyline came out, book fans were in an uproar...
The higher-ups of the Buddhist sect in the capital were trembling in fear. They had never expected that ‘Third Young Master Cong’ could be so vicious and even write such a plot. If he didn’t show any signs of this, he would not be considered a normal emperor at all!
After hearing such a storyline, all the powerful family heads and cabinet bosses couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They subconsciously thought about the wealth and resources of Buddhism based on the plot, and couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Of course, they also admired and feared the "Third Young Master Cong" who dared to write like this, and put "Third Young Master Cong" on the list of people who should not be offended easily.
This kid's pen is too ruthless. If he accidentally offends someone, he can't be beaten to death with a stick. Who knows what kind of shocking things this kid will write when he goes crazy and put a shit basin on his forehead?
This time, Buddhism in the capital and even Buddhism in the north are going through some troubles!
Anyone who knows something about today's temperament knows that "Third Young Master Cong" lit a ferocious fire. Even the chief minister of the cabinet did not dare to easily judge the extent of the fire it could burn. It was because "Third Young Master Cong" was too ruthless.
La.
Sure enough, by the time the writing ended at the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Lian Er had also successfully completed his work. Now he was not required to be able to clearly investigate the Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and nunneries inside and outside the capital.
This is the time when the aftermath is raging, and if we are too demanding now, we may not know what kind of discussions and accusations it will cause.
Haven't you seen that even the two emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties died inexplicably because they targeted Buddhism?
Even if the Buddhist power in reality is not so exaggerated, it is not something that a mere Shuntian Prime Minister can easily investigate.
If you are really scolding someone for such a reason now, is it probably not intentional?
People are all about face!
Not to mention that the emperor, who was about to take control of the court, naturally began to cherish feathers, and he still cared about "popular opinion".
Besides, at this time, because of Jia Cong's new attitude, the current thoughts have indeed deflected the target, and they no longer focus on a fourth-grade official in the second-tier chain.
At the moment, what we are thinking about is how many fields, tenants, and industries do the major Buddhist temples and nunneries control?
Affected by the plot, I subconsciously became defensive.
You know, there is no need to pay taxes on Buddhist land and temple property!
If you can raise a few more monks, have money, food, and force, tsk tsk...
Compared with Buddhism's wide open door of convenience, Taoism's quest for immortality does not have much ambition for the expansion of the sect and industry, and is much more pleasing to the eye.
Looking at the entire Taoist sect in Daqing, except for the Taoist sects that were enshrined by the royal family and specially approved part of their land as offerings, the rest of the Taoist sects scattered all over the world only have a few acres or ten acres of thin farmland to supply their own food. Compared with the Buddhist sects,
There are often tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland and thousands of tenants, which makes us feel more at ease today.
The results of the investigation by Ouchi's secret agents are also very unpleasant today.
As for the monasteries and nunneries on the outskirts of the capital, the amount of land and property in their hands was quite large, and the number of tenants who relied on them for a living reached thousands.
As for the warrior monks, there are dozens of large temples and one or two small nunneries!
Taken together, there will be at least one or two hundred!
Don't underestimate this number. There are one or two hundred monks who are completely full-time and specialize in martial arts. In terms of individual combat capabilities, I am afraid that not many of the Dragon Guards who are affiliated with the Imperial Guard can reach the level of those monks.
From a modern point of view, the Buddhist temples and nunneries on the outskirts of the capital have a group of militarized masters. With a little training, they are the elite of the ancient army, which is equivalent to the special forces of the modern army.
After reading the hasty but still dissatisfying investigation report, Xiang Xian's thoughts naturally turned to Buddhism. How could he still have the energy and mind to understand Lian Er?
Of course, since Lian Er is too 'competent' and has been assigned new jobs and tasks, the Xungui Group still needs to suppress him.
Since you can't capture people directly, then send them to the most dangerous place to do the most dangerous work.
…
"Young Master, there is another news from the bookstore. Many book fans have gathered and asked the Young Master to continue writing and not to finish it in a hurry!"
Wangcai looked collapsed and hurriedly walked to Jia Cong to report: "The bookstore owner hopes that the young master can go to comfort him personally. You see..."
"What a fart!"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said leisurely: "That old guy doesn't have any good intentions. Anyway, it's over. I won't continue writing!"
A look of regret appeared on Wangcai's face, and he asked cautiously: "Master, how is the plot behind it?"
Angrily, he rolled his eyes at the guy and said leisurely: "Go, go, read the history books, you kid will naturally understand!"
What else could happen?
Jingzhai was severely beaten by the Eternal Emperor, and then he pushed out Emperor Zetian unwillingly. Anyway, it was a battle between Buddhism and Taoism, and the royal family. Today you win, I will win tomorrow, and he will win again the day after tomorrow...
…
Anyway, the purpose of writing has been achieved, there is nothing more to say, so I ended it decisively.
But obviously, the book fans are not happy and feel that there are still many plots that can be written. For example, the entire Tang Dynasty, as well as the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, as well as the Song, Yuan, Chen, Han and other dynasties can be written.
When Jia Cong saw the book review urging updates in this regard, he was absolutely stunned and refused to agree.
I just don’t want to think that the enthusiasm of book fans is too high...
Groups of people gathered in Huiyou Bookstore all day long, which began to affect the normal operation of the bookstore.
Fortunately, my younger brother has basically become a talent, and there is no need to gather in the book club where the bookstore is located to continue to study hard, otherwise he will go crazy.
"I said you kid can't do this, whet the appetites of us book lovers, only to end it suddenly at the most critical moment. Isn't this deceiving?"
Even the Prince of Chu came to trouble Jia Cong on behalf of the book fans.
In the past, there have been many noble young masters with "great magical powers" who came to my door through different channels or sent messages. In short, they all had the same meaning: keep writing!
"Okay, I'll convince you!"
Jia Cong had recently been preparing to travel far away, but he was so troubled by a group of enthusiastic "book fans" that he could not prepare with peace of mind. Seeing that his friend the Prince of Chu jumped out, he finally "admitted defeat"...
Soon, the front page of Huiyou Bookstore’s fortnightly magazine published an announcement from ‘Cong San Shao’: fans of the book are allowed to follow the plot and write according to their own ideas. If they write well, they will be directly published by the bookstore!
Not only can it be written according to the context of the plot, but also the previous plot, fans can also adapt it according to their own ideas. The same excellent writing can be published in the semi-monthly magazine of Huiyou Bookstore at a high price!
As soon as the two announcements came out, book fans all over the capital were excited.
Among them, those book fans who have money, leisure and ideas are gearing up to have a good time.
"You are so generous, kid. If you let such a hole go, I'm afraid your family's name will not be so resounding in the future!"
This time Prince Chu came over again. After laughing and joking, he said mysteriously: "I won't hide it from you. I also plan to write something according to my thoughts..."
“Hopefully the quality isn’t too bad!”
Jia Cong smiled and joked: "Isn't it better to have fun alone than to have fun together? I hope you succeed and what you write can be recognized by other book fans!"
"I'll lend you some good words!"
The dark look on Si Ding's face suddenly disappeared, and he turned into a smile and said happily: "By the way, do you have any new plans? Let me know some information first. If it is still combined with history like this
