Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 436: Don’t you even look at who taught this student?
Dugu Han was actually quite unwilling to accept the fact. He thought that she was rich enough to rival a country, and could even suppress Xia Lin financially with her own strength. Moreover, his family had complicated connections, and Luoyang was his family's former base. Why couldn't he fight against the local tyrants?
It's obvious that the governor of Hongzhou looks down on people.

But it wasn't until she followed Xia Lin to the White Horse Temple, which is known as the best temple in the world...

There are 33,000 monks and countless believers. They are also supported by gentry and local civil and military officials. Among them, there are nearly 5,000 martial monks. These martial monks are monk soldiers when they pick up weapons. The key is that they are rich, have land, and have tenants. There are even three towns around the White Horse Temple, which were built depending on it.

The scale is comparable to that of a local lord.

"Can it be done?"

Xia Lin slapped Dugu Han on the butt: "Little Bean Sprout really overestimates his own abilities."

Dugu Han was speechless at this moment. The weakest point of her Dugu family was that they had no actual military power. And this was not a temple at all. It was clearly a country within a country. However, this was not the area where the monk problem was most serious. One could imagine how serious the situation in Henan Road was.

"Every policy has its aftereffects. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, the country was unstable, so he needed to use Buddhism to stabilize the people's hearts. But over time, the people's hearts will no longer belong to him."

The two of them were sitting in a vegetarian restaurant in the town surrounding the temple. The food here was not cheap. Most of the people who came to eat were monks in robes, and there were few ordinary people.

Xia Lin, Dugu Han and Zhuo Heng had a table full of five dishes, which cost three taels of silver, and those monks seemed to treat this place like a canteen, spending money without blinking an eye.

This is just the scene around one temple. If all the temples in Henan Road were connected together, it would be really fatal.

"I have broadened my horizons. In the past, I really thought that monks were just monks."

Xia Lin chuckled, turned around and snapped his fingers. Soon a waiter came over. Xia Lin turned his head and whispered to the waiter, "Is there a brothel in town?"

Upon hearing the word "brothel", Dugu Han and Zhuo Heng were obviously stunned for a moment, while the waiter rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Sir, if you have nothing else to do and want to leave after eating, you can ask...ask..."

At this moment, Xia Lin slapped a ten-liang note into his hand and said, "Think about it carefully."

The waiter bent down and said in a low voice, "Three of you, there is no brothel, but there is a nunnery in the north which is an elegant place. After dinner, why don't you go to the nunnery to listen to the Buddhist teachings? You may learn something from it."

"Okay, it's all your business, go ahead."

"Thank you for the reward!"

After the waiter left, Xia Lin glanced at the two people beside him and said cheerfully, "How about it, you two, do you want to go and experience Buddhism?"

Everyone is curious, and Xia Lin always repeatedly stressed that without investigation, one has no right to speak, so the two of them actually went together to the place where the waiter mentioned to listen to Buddhist teachings.

The facade of this nunnery is very simple, with a small green brick courtyard wall and two wooden doors. It doesn't look unusual at all, except for the two red lanterns hanging at the door, which are out of place with this simple and elegant atmosphere.

"Look, there's no one there."

Dugu Han waved his fan and said, "What can we do here? Are we really listening to scriptures?"

Xia Lin smiled coldly and went forward to knock on the door. After a while, a young nun in plain clothes opened the door to greet him. She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as Du Guhan, but her eyes and eyebrows were full of life, and she was indeed quite pretty.

"Dear donors, the nunnery does not allow male guests."

Xia Lin smiled and said, "I was introduced by an acquaintance."

When the young monk heard this, he opened the door a little wider and asked, "May I ask who is the donor?"

"It's not convenient to disclose this, but he did say that your studies here are better than anywhere else." Xia Lin took out a fifty-liang note and stuffed it into the collar of the young nun: "Take it, it's my filial piety to the Buddha."

At this moment, the wooden door creaked open, and Xiao Ni let the three of them in: "Please follow me."

After closing the door, there is a large courtyard. Behind it is a building like a Zen temple. If you walk further inside, you can see many nuns walking back and forth. They are tall, short, fat and thin, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are good-looking. Basically, it can be said that you will not lose out if you choose any one to open a blind box.

The little nun brought the three of them to a Zen room. The decoration of the Zen room was simple, with only a few soft couches on the ground and a low couch.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and then several nuns came in with wine and food. They were wearing very simple and elegant monk robes, but the more Dugu Han looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Look at the outline." Xia Lin leaned close to her ear and whispered.

Only then did she realize that there was something wrong with these nuns. They were completely naked under their monk robes. No wonder they looked strange. The thin monk robes could not cover the girls' exquisite curves at all, which really made people think about it. Zhuo Heng was a virgin after all. He blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look. But at this moment, a nun took the initiative to sit next to Zhuo Heng: "Sir, I see that you seem to have a demon in your heart."

"Wait a minute." Xia Lin raised his hand to stop him, "Don't be angry, let's talk about how you charge for your projects first."

The nuns exchanged glances, and the oldest one said, "Donor, we don't talk about money here, we talk about fate."

"Okay, how much?" Xia Lin nodded.

"If the donor is sincere, he can go to the main hall to burn incense. One stick of incense is worth one hundred taels. One stick of incense has its own fate, and nine sticks of incense have their own fate."

Xia Lin nudged Dugu Han with his elbow and said, "Go, burn eighteen of them."

Dugu Han impatiently took out a two thousand tael note and handed it to the nun who was talking: "Go, burn twenty incense sticks for me. I want to see what these twenty incense sticks have in common."

They rarely saw anyone so generous, so the older nun went out and verified that the money was real, then hurried to the meditation room where the person in charge of the place was.

It was probably just a cup of tea time, and the original few nuns here were all withdrawn, and replaced by a group of young girls, each of them was so beautiful that Zhuo Heng was shocked. He, the son of a big warlord, was actually a little at a loss at this time, and he didn't even know where to put his eyes.

The woman who came in later was still wearing a plain monk's robe, but it had obviously been altered. Not only was the size one size smaller and fit tightly to the body, but it was also designed to highlight the waist. Even the forks that originally opened to the calves were now opened to the ribs on them, and a Buddha's light would appear when they moved a little.

These girls have so many different styles and temperaments that most people can't stand them. Even the little puff Dugu Han almost got angry, and Zhuo Heng's face turned red.

The only one who was criticized was Xia Lin, who was extremely fond of women and had a bad character, just ate and drank the whole time and made occasional jokes.

When it came to the part of feeding wine with the mouth, the one who had the most fun was Dugu Han. She hugged this idiot left and right and kissed him so hard that he made a lot of noises.

On the contrary, Xia Lin was not really interested. After all, the girls in Fuliang Grand Theater were all the top courtesans in those days. Although they all became husbands, they spared no effort to seduce Xia Lin. Watching this place was just like chewing wax.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhuo Heng might not be able to hold on any longer. At this moment, Xia Lin coughed and said, "Okay, it's getting late. We should leave."

"Eh? My twenty connections are not yet..."

Dugu Han tried to struggle but was taken away by Xia Lin, and Zhuo Heng also came out with him.

The three of them walked on the moonlit path. Dugu Han even felt a little unsatisfied. Instead, Zhuo Heng said with some guilt: "Brother, my determination is not strong enough."

"Normal." Xia Lin smiled and said, "Not many people can keep their sanity in a place like this."

"What about you? Brother, I see you seem to be motionless."

"Brother, I..." Xia Lin turned his head and glanced at Dugu Han: "I have picked the most beautiful flower in the world. The others are nothing but ordinary women to me."

Dugu Han was still smacking his lips at this moment: "Do you think the next step is to take him to practice Buddhism?"

"I'm telling you, I finally managed to say something to praise you, but you just won't listen."

"What did you praise me for? When have you ever praised me?" Dugu Han looked Xia Lin up and down: "I look at you with disdain."

At this moment, Zhuo Heng asked curiously: "Brother, is it true that Buddhism is full of filth and dirt?"

"Of course." Xia Lin nodded and said, "Buddhism has gained too much freedom in recent years. We are not saying that freedom is bad, but when freedom goes too far, it will give rise to many bizarre monsters and demons. Freedom is naturally good, but it must be within the rules. Look at these bald donkeys who do whatever they want now. This is not acceptable."

"Brother, I understand. In fact, we cannot ask people to do whatever they want, but we can ask people not to do what they don't want to do. This is freedom."

"Hey! You are very insightful." Xia Lin nodded and said, "That's right. For example, those nuns today, they can sell if they want to. This is not freedom, but they can choose not to sell when they don't want to. This is what you need to do."

At this time, Dugu Han touched his chin and said, "Do you think we can make a lot of money if we change the materials of their clothes?"

Zhuo Heng and Xia Lin ignored Xiao Douya, and Zhuo Heng asked worriedly, "They are like this now, so how should we deal with it?"

Xia Lin stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder. "The following is what I want to emphasize on, which is surrounding the city from the countryside. How to solve the most difficult problem at the lowest cost and fastest speed? Master has already written down the answer for us."
