After listening to Li Yi's words, everyone felt that it made sense, but they also felt that something was wrong.
Li Yi continued to flip through the account books. Good, this is good, this Fo Guang Temple has 420,000 cun worth of things.
Where is it? In Zi Wei City, Wu Zetian is a cultivator, no wonder.
This, Tong De Temple, 390,000 cun, is also in Zi Wei City, the inner palace of the Imperial City!
This amount is a bit low, how can the inner palace be poor? Wu Zetian is really stingy.
Li Yi looked at them one by one, as long as it was in Zi Wei City, once it did not exceed 400,000 cun, he would have a look of disdain.
"Xiao Yi, why don't you print an exchange coupon worth 10,000 cun? It's more convenient to carry. "
Bi Goo reacted, how do you spend a coupon worth 1,000 cun?
Others would think that it was fake, who has seen a coupon worth 1,000 cun?
"Some things add up to less than 10,000 cun, otherwise, do you think I won't print it?
I understand what you mean, large transactions can be spent, a ship's worth of food, if the amount is 1,000 cun, I will give one.
The other party will happily keep it and give the food to the temple, isn't that enough? "
Li Yi said casually, referring to the rich monasteries.
Bi Goo looked at him as if he was lying, "Are there really people who accept it?"
"Yes, I accept it, not only do I accept money, I also give them things." Li Yi said seriously.
"Brother Yi, what do you want to give them?" Li Longji wanted to know.
"Kerosene lamps, two for each temple, and a thermos bottle for the capital government.
When you give it to them, tell them that the soldiers at the front cannot use these things, they are too expensive.
But they have, I hope that they will chant scriptures and pray for the soldiers at the border.
By the way, ask the temples of the capital government if they are willing to exchange these things for convenient large-value exchange coupons. "
Li Yi's expression was still the same as before, as if he was really thinking for the monks.
Li Longji, "… …"
"Brother Yi, are you forcing them to pay for the luxury goods in Zhuangzi?" He understood.
What do you mean by 'gift'? You don't have it for the soldiers who are bathed in blood, but for the monks and Taoists?
The monks and Daoists were not stupid. It was no different from asking them openly.
Li Yi shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No, I never force people to do things they don't want to do. They have a kerosene lamp. It's good for their eyes when they read at night."
"This old man thinks so too." Yao Chong supported him, "Some of the guards of the Li Family Zhuangzi lost their eyes when they were fighting with the enemy. The eyes of the monks and Taoists who can pray for them must be protected."
Yao Chong said with a kind expression, but his voice sounded like the weather outside, a little cold.
"Let's wait for the ones from Mount Song to be sent over. We will calculate them together. I will take the account books back and leave them at home." Li Yi prepared to take the account books away.
"Don't, Xiao Yi. This is your Zhuangzi. This old man wants to take a closer look."
Bi Goo stopped them. Everyone was not happy enough yet.
"Forget it. If you don't feel well, remember to take oxygen. It's cold and not good for your heart."
Li Yi was afraid that they would be angry, so he wanted to take them away. Since he wanted to keep them, he would keep them and send more people to take care of them.
With that, he left to share the good news with Princess Yongmu. Princess Yongmu was not afraid of anger.
…
Li Yi did as he said. He went back and asked the newspaper printing workshop to print out the assets of the temples in Luoyang. At the same time, he sent people to send them kerosene lamps and thermos bottles. One for each temple.
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers!"
"Li Family Zhuangzi of Ba Shui, Li Dongzhu, gifts the temple with kerosene lamps and thermos bottles to pray for the soldiers at the border."
"The initial verification of the assets of the temples in Luoyang has been completed. Li Dongzhu will take half."
Another morning, the newsboy was yelling to sell and deliver newspapers.
Ye Fashan received a thick and cheap copy. He opened it to read.
Before he could finish reading, Sima Chengzhen, who was reading quickly, sighed, "It's over! The money is exposed. Li Yi wants more than half. "
Shan Wuwei, who was also reading quickly, said, "It's not easy to deal with the capital government. We need to ask Li Yi how much he wants to sell."
Ye Fashan listened and did not say anything. He read it himself, "It's a catastrophe. He should have donated ten to twenty thousand coins to the soldiers at the border."
He read it again, "It's not just the capital government and Henan. Let's wait. When they finish buying the kerosene lamps and thermos bottles, Xiao Yi will send them to the temples in various parts of the Tang dynasty."
"What about the other places who hide the money?" Sima Chengzhen asked. He shook his head, "Life is more important than money."
He instantly figured it out. Whoever did not pay would be targeted. If there was even the slightest mistake …
How many temples dared to guarantee that their monks and Taoists would not make mistakes? Mistakes had nothing to do with size.
It was indeed a catastrophe, a catastrophe for Buddhism and Taoism.
"It's just money. Our orthodoxy is not lost. We should be begging for alms."
Shan Wuwei was open-minded. He was born in the royal family and had been the Emperor. He had also given up his position.
He was the most willing to let go of money. As long as he did not kill people or burn books, he could still eat without money.
He had been begging for alms before he gradually became famous. Only then did he have a special offering. Occasionally, he still had to beg for alms.
Ye Fashan nodded, "Those who wholeheartedly follow Taoism should know that this is Taoism. You should understand it."
"Immeasurable Celestial Venerable for Blessings!" Sima Chengzhen began to mutter and chant scriptures. There was nothing else to say.
The people outside were stunned after reading the newspaper. Did the temple have so much money?
"When we went in that day, we didn't see anything. It was just some tables, incense, and oil."
"Yes, there was a little money. The merit box and other things were all given to the Grief Tian Square."
"It's too little. Compared to this, nine bulls and one …"
"What?"
"Yes, what?!"
"They hid it. Did you see? Hmph! They have money! "
"Li Dongzhu can get half of it."
"No matter how much Li Dongzhu takes, he will eventually give it to us. What about the remaining half?"
"Rob, let's rob again."
"We can't rob anymore. When I came over, the 16 guards were protecting a temple. The rest is guaranteed."
"Li Dongzhu actually gave them things. What is Li Dongzhu thinking?"
"Praying for the soldiers."
"Praying for them? I want to take a look at the Cemetery of Martyrs. "
"Let's go tomorrow! I haven't finished my work today. I'll go with you tomorrow. "
"Sure, I have work to do too. If I don't work, I won't have food to eat."
The people discussed animatedly. They were angry and puzzled. They continued to work.
Regardless of whether it was the monks and Daoists of Henan or the imperial government, they were all dumbfounded.
They were smarter than the people. What did Li Yi want to do? Kill them all?
The imperial government felt that they were wronged. It had nothing to do with them. Look, they still had work to do.
They all went to find the 'almighty' to ask for a solution. In the end, the Daoists and eminent monks all went into seclusion.
After the scholars finished reading the newspaper, they felt uncomfortable. There was a lot of money. The content of the newspaper had clearly stated that the soldiers were fighting with their lives, but …
Soon, the scholars began to look forward to it happily. The newspaper clearly stated that they should buy kerosene lamps and thermos bottles. They were very expensive.
They wondered if bicycles were suitable for monks and Daoists. With bicycles, it was easy for them to travel.
