Da Wei Chun

Chapter 334
Feel full and warm.

Once a person has money, he will enjoy it in different ways. This is an eternal truth. Monks are also human beings, so naturally.

Things like ice are really rare in summer.Before Li Chengzhi sold ice, court officials below the sixth rank could not buy it with money, let alone a monk?

Li Chengzhi thought that there are always monks who are greedy for enjoyment, and they can't stand the scorching heat of summer, so maybe they can sell some.So with the mentality of giving it a try, I asked Gao Zhan to ask Zhaoxuancao (the highest monk-official institution in the country).

Gao Zhan went backward in the third year of junior high school.Good guy, that night, there were a bunch of monks waiting at the gate of Gaofu, all of them were the masters and abbots of hundreds of temples.

I thought these monks were there for Gao Zhao's face, so I just meant it, but I didn't know that I had to order for two months?
It’s also a good name for offering my Buddha... This was clearly discussed when I came here, and the person who can come up with this idea is definitely a talent: where there are monks, there will naturally be Buddha statues, but if there is no one, just move one over there .

Who dares to say that the ice placed in the monk's room is not for the Buddha statue?
Only then did Li Chengzhi realize: the richest people in the capital are not the clans of the Han family, nor the nobles of the Xianbei family, nor the clan of the Yuan clan, nor the emperor.

But a monk.

How could Li Chengzhi care so much when customers came to the door.Thinking that the monk has money anyway, and the money is easier to earn than lying down, so it must be more expensive and acceptable.So the price of ice sold to monks to cool off the summer heat was set at the price of smoothies: sold by the catty.

One side is roughly three feet square, about 700 catties, and Li Chengzhi sold it for 750 Wen without even wiping off a fraction, which is a combination of hardware.

The weird thing is, is it still crazy?
More than one hundred temples are all negotiated, one hundred square meters per family.

However, it is required that the Ice Master should be sent to two places in the temple every day, for [-] consecutive days, until the end of July.

This is 1 square meters, which is [-] gold... and all of them are real gold and brass that are not discounted at all?
By the second day, all the larger temples in the capital should have received letters, and more than a hundred temples came one after another, and more than ten thousand were booked.

By the fifth day of the new year, many of the ones I had ordered before came back, saying that it was the final decision, and the "Buddhas" seemed to be inseparable, so I had to order more.

Li Chengzhi didn't dare to order.

The ice storage room in the palace belongs to Lingyinli where the ice is stored in Guanglu Temple, and the ice storage area is about [-] square meters.In the past two days, it has been sold to monks for [-] yuan.There are still more than forty days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace needs at least [-] yuan.

In this way, there are only [-] to [-] square meters left at most.

It sounds like a lot, but the problem is, this thing will melt.

Otherwise, when Li Chengzhi was planning to sell ice, why did he set the loss at [-]%?
Not to mention not daring to sell it anymore, just like this, Gao Zhan has to plan carefully and carefully.I had to set the time for shipping ice in the middle of the night.Otherwise, if it melts too much, the emperor will just wait for the sauna every day...

On the night of the sixth day of the lunar new year, Yuan Ke's eyes widened when he saw Gao Zhan unwrapping five bahts, copper collars, and even gold from dozens of carriages into the palace.

12 gold?
When Li Chengzhi said he wanted to sell ice, how much did he say?

In two months, you can get [-] to [-] gold...

But this has more than tripled?
Looking at it the other way around, it's so simple, it seems that you can do it by just picking one out.

But why can Li Chengzhi be the only one who can think of selling ice in summer and selling it to monks?
Even the emperor, he didn't expect...

Therefore, it was the emperor's idea to add officials to those two officials yesterday, and it wasn't because of the sound of the song at all, but because of the 12 gold from the temple.

Why did the emperor sell ice?
Naturally, it was because of the money shortage, and this money shortage was precisely caused by the monk!
Li Chengzhi's hand is simply a stroke of genius...

Yuan Ke looked forward to it when he thought of what the morning court would be like on the ninth day of the lunar new year.

Li Chengzhi actually sold most of the ice to the temple?

Yuan Yi's expression was extremely shocked, as if he couldn't figure it out 1 times.After being stunned for a while, his face changed slightly: "How dare you?"

Why has the emperor been so irritable in recent years?

It's not that no one can't guess it: it's nothing more than a monk's business...

These temples are so reckless, aren't they handing the emperor a knife?
"Why don't you dare?"

Yuan Ke sneered, "If you dare to raise bihunis (nuns) to vent their desires in the temple, dare to have sex with noble ladies under the statue of Buddha in the daytime, what else can they not do?"

Yuan Yi's heart trembled.

The emperor was clearly talking about the old incident two years ago: the county king, clan, General Annan and governor of Jingzhou, Yuansong, had been fighting against the southern army in Huaidi, and had not returned to Luoyang for more than a year, until he was killed by his rebellious subordinates. Southland.

The strange thing is that she has been staying in Beijing and hasn't seen Yuan Song's side concubine for more than a year. When mourning for Yuan Song in Beijing, someone found out that she was pregnant?

At the beginning, the side concubine lied that Yuan Song had conceived in a dream. The emperor was furious and ordered to torture him to extract a confession. Finally, he revealed that because he couldn't bear to be lonely, he had an affair with a monk in the temple, not just a temple, but a monk.She doesn't know who the one in her belly belongs to...

Check further, good guy: there is a large number of nuns in more than one monastery in Beijing, which are not only used by the monks themselves, but also used to make friends with dignitaries.

It's not just Yuan Song's side concubine having an affair with the monk...

The matter was too involved, and no one dared to say anything about it, but all the relevant personnel were secretly executed.

But Yuan Song's elder brother, Yuan Cheng, was so angry that he took the risk of getting rid of the noble, and played a petition to purge monks, that is, the letter "The concubine enters the monk's room during the day, and the children stay in the nun's room at night, like a pagoda entangled in fishy smell, with no soul." In lust..." Memorial.

Buddhist affairs are not something that can be suppressed just by being quiet, the final result is: Yuan Cheng was ordered to kneel to the Buddha for one night and stroked his cheek a hundred times!
Naturally, this was done for the world to see. In private, Yuan Ke even hinted to Yuan Cheng: he will avenge this revenge sooner or later...

Since then, this bad breath has accumulated in the emperor's heart.

Zhongli was defeated again, and 20 cavalry were lost in the Huai River.Later, when the emperor ordered all the states to recruit strong men to serve as soldiers, all the states actually played at the same time, saying that there were no men to recruit.If it is necessary to levy, farming will be abandoned.

How is it possible?
There are nearly 600 million households in the Ming Dynasty alone in the Great Wei Dynasty. If 30 households recruit one Ding, they can also recruit [-] troops, right?
At the beginning, Yuan Ke thought that the officials were afraid that he, the emperor, would go crazy and resort to military affairs, but after asking, he found out that he really couldn't be recruited.

He was the one who collected one out of twenty households, and one out of every three or four households was a strong man who became a monk in a temple...

After that, there was a money shortage again: Youda's imperial court couldn't even come up with tens of thousands of dollars. Is it a joke?

Even the copper coins circulating in Luojing City are getting less and less. Some people have followed the prefecture and cut the whole silk into small pieces to use as currency.

Naturally, the money didn't fly with its own wings, but was donated to the temple by the people...

When several phases are superimposed, those who are more clever can naturally think of the reason for the emperor's self-torture.

But today is different from the past. It is not the time of Emperor Taiwu: there are nearly 600 million households in the country, and nearly three of them are monk households.

It's not impossible to solve it if you slow down. The key point is that the emperor is too anxious.

So like Yuan Yi, Yuan Yong, Liu Fang, Cui Guang, etc., they knew what the emperor wanted to do, but they refused to let go...

Yuan Yi was very worried, and wanted to persuade him as usual, but before he even opened his mouth, the emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Teng reported outside the hall, saying that Ruyang Wang Yuanyue, Zhang Bing envoy Gao Zhan, and Hou Xinglang Li Chengzhi were seeking an audience outside the hall.

As soon as he heard the words "Hou Xinglang", Yuan Ke laughed: If I hadn't given you a level in advance, and the court meeting will be held two days later, I'm afraid you, a seventh-rank Hou Xinglang, wouldn't be able to do it.

It's also strange, the more credit others have, the higher the official will be, but it's the other way around for Li Chengzhi?
Contributions come one after another, not only are the officials not promoted, but the annual salary is fined more and more every time, and they have to be beaten every now and then?

It's also the only one.

But this is by no means the way for the monarch and his ministers to meet each other... Yuan Ke has already begun to think about how to keep the level that Li Chengzhi was promoted today on the ninth day of the lunar new year...

After thinking about it, the three of them entered the hall, bowing to the emperor and Yuan Ke together.

Yuan Ke looked up, Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhan were considered normal, but Yuan Yue's teeth were almost bared, and the joy on his face could not be hidden.

"Seventh brother, did something good happen?"

Suddenly knowing that she was getting carried away, Yuan Yue quickly restrained her smile, and replied respectfully: "I am going to cooperate with Li Chengzhi to make a living..."

No wonder?
Regardless of other things, as far as Yuan Ke knows, Li Chengzhi can also forge soldiers and refine wine.Any one of them is a huge profit.

Yuan Ke didn't bother to ask, so he casually pointed down, signaling to sit down and talk.Then he asked: "Tell me, why did you start fighting when you were doing well?"

When they came, they had already checked their statements, and the three of them answered seamlessly. They only said that Gao Zhan was in a hurry to transfer troops, but Li Chengzhi refused, so the two started fighting.But Yuan Yue just suffered an innocent disaster.

If other officials are put aside, Yuan Ke may have to intervene.But the relationship between Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhan is quite special, and at this time they look like they have no grievances, and Yuan Ke is also lazy to pick bones.

After casually asking a few words, Yuan Ke pointed at Gao Zhan again: "It's not a trivial matter to release hundreds of thousands of gold into the palace. I will work harder today, and I will deliver it to Liu Teng overnight, and I must make a clear list of accounts... Well, Xuan Huai Let's go with Xuanyi too, to help out..."

It was only when the emperor was in a hurry to spend money, that's why he was in such a hurry, and no one suspected it.

Li Chengzhi felt a little weird: didn't he say that the emperor was going to try the case, and he just asked a few sentences so lightly and it was over?

What's the purpose of leaving me alone here when all the other people are gone?
Could it be that you want to make alchemy again?
Suspicious in his heart, Li Chengzhi took a sneak peek and found that the emperor was frowning tightly, as if hesitating.

Although it is not allowed, it is not far away!

Li Chengzhi really guessed right, the emperor really just found an excuse to call Li Chengzhi into the palace.

When he was free, he cared why Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhan were fighting?
