Chat group: People are in fantasy, investment is in the world

"This..." Princess Yan was shocked when she saw her appearance. "I seem to have returned to five years ago. Oh my god, it's actually true. This spell can not only increase strength and heal old injuries, but also restore youth. This is simply the supreme magic."

She looked at her husband with some disgust.

"Husband, why are you still the same as always?"

Gao Huaide touched his rough cheek, a little embarrassed, and guessed: "Maybe this has something to do with my thoughts when I chanted the spell. I just wanted to be as strong as Your Majesty, so the spell only increased my strength?"

"That's probably it." Princess Yan nodded, and suddenly she became a little worried, "You said, if my brother spreads these spells, and the people get them, our royal family will be in danger!"

As a royal princess, her interests are naturally tied to the royal family.

If her royal status was damaged, her princess status would also change.

A phoenix without its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken, and when the time comes, it may even be in danger of being killed.

Gao Huaide was startled, then suddenly smiled: "Madam, don't worry. This spell was given by the Taoist Lord, and Your Majesty is the one closest to him. As long as the Taoist Lord does not despise Your Majesty, Your Majesty's position will only become more and more stable. It won't be a problem to unify the Nine Continents, or even the places outside the Nine Continents."

The Princess of Yan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, how could I have forgotten about this!"

"The Taoist is the most important. My husband, I have decided to donate all the family property to build the Taoist Temple. Our family must be the one that contributes the most to the construction of the Taoist Temple."

Gao Huaide was dumbfounded. This woman was such a spendthrift.

On second thought, he felt that his wife was so smart and he almost became obsessed with money.

"Madam is wise. However, it will be difficult to become the first. His Majesty will not be stingy with money. We cannot compete with him."

"Let's say the other adults, seeing the great magical powers of the Taoist, I'm afraid they will also be generous with their wealth. Then, there will be something to fight for."

Princess Yan snorted coldly: "We naturally cannot compete with our brother, and I don't care about other people. Anyway, our Gao family must be second! This is related to the great cause of our Gao family for generations. Gao Huaide, we must show our face in front of the Taoist Lord."

Hearing about the great cause of the ages, Gao Huaide's blood boiled, and he didn't even mind his wife calling him by his name.

"Madam, you are right. This matter is too important. We must not give up. Let's do this. Madam, please go to the palace and discuss this matter with His Majesty. We can just secure the second place. As for the rest, let others fight for it."

"Yes." Princess Yan nodded. "Okay, let's not delay any longer. I will go to the palace right away. You should also count the family wealth and see how much we can give out. We can always get our money back. Don't be stingy. When the time comes, we must build the Taoist temple of the Taoist Master magnificently."

"Ma'am, rest assured. I won't be so incompetent as to hold you back at a time like this!"

After the two men finished their discussion, they hurriedly parted ways and went about their own business.

the other side.

The civil and military officials who returned home also bathed, changed their clothes, and chanted incantations.

moment.

"Xianji, I am over sixty years old and was originally planning to retire and return home, but now I have recited the spell and can serve the Song Dynasty for another hundred years. Madam, do you think I am much stronger now?"

"Old man, what are you doing?"

The civil servant then told the story 0......

When the old lady heard this, she was shocked. After trying it once, she became a loyal believer of Taixuan Sect.

"My husband, I am going to use my family wealth to build a Taoist temple for you."

"Ugh...you loser bitch!"

"Husband, you have to fulfill your wish when you go to the temple. We have received so many benefits, how can we not express our gratitude? Daojun is a true immortal and doesn't care about these money, but we can't help but express our gratitude."

"My husband, if the Taoist can show mercy and give me a little benefit, it will be a thousand times better than those dead things."

"That's what the lady said."

When the civil servant heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"I am getting old and confused. This matter must be handled properly, Madam. You must do it yourself and not delegate it to others. This concerns the future generations of our Li family."

At the same time, the same thing was happening in Liu Wen's home.

"My legs are healed!"

"That's great!"

Boom!

He stomped on the ground a few times, which made Mrs. Liu tremble with fear.

He is in his forties and is still jumping like a child. If he can't catch his breath, he will die on the spot.

"Madam, Daojun is a true immortal!"

"You try too."

After the lady tried it, she verified its magical power.

Liu Wen then said, "Madam, I am going to donate all my wealth to the Taoist temple."

Mrs. Liu was stunned.

My husband has always scoffed at matters of ghosts and gods. Moreover, he is a stingy person and never participates in gatherings of colleagues. The officials in Bianliang gave him the nickname "toilet stone" because it is smelly and hard.

As a result, the sun rose from the west today.

"Madam, please don't be surprised. Daojun is a real god. How can he be compared to the clay sculptures and wooden sculptures in other temples?" Liu Wen said excitedly, "Daojun saved my life, so we must repay him. Besides, if we donate money for incense, we can also pray for our descendants in the future!"

"Since my husband has such intention, I will naturally not stop him."

Mrs. Liu was originally a devout believer who was extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods, and she had secretly worshipped gods and Buddhas in the past.

Seeing my husband behaving out of character today, I immediately decided in my heart that I would only worship Taixuan Sect from now on and never worship any other gods again.

Who would worship those clay sculptures and wooden carvings in temples when there are real gods to worship? .

Chapter 356: People get angry when they are not allowed to donate money, and they are shocked! (2/7, please subscribe)

"Gao Huaide and Princess Yan have donated 500,000 strings of cash!"

"The Li family donated 100,000 strings of cash!"

"..."

"Liu Wen donated 9 strings of cash for incense offerings!"

On the second day, at the site of Taixuan Taoist Temple, boxes of copper coins were carried over by servants.

The box was placed on the ground and the copper coins were scattered all over the ground. Soon, a thick layer of them formed on the ground, which made the onlookers drool.

"These adults are crazy, donating so much money!"

"Yes, I counted, all the ministers in the court have donated, not one person did not come. What kind of true god is this, to have such a grand ceremony?"

"It's only been a short while, but the amount of money donated here is probably tens of millions of guan. Being an official is really profitable."

"I'm so envious. When will my son be able to pass the imperial examination?"

During the Northern Song Dynasty, officials' salaries were extremely high.

For a first-rank official, the regular salary plus various benefits such as clothing, corn, etc., the annual apparent income is more than 4,000 strings of cash.

The second rank official had an annual official income of nearly 11,000 strings of cash.

He was a third-rank official, with an annual official income of 7,200 strings of cash.

The reason why the second and third rank officials had higher salaries than the first rank was that the first rank in the Northern Song Dynasty was a nominal position with no real power.

And this is still the obvious benefit that can be put on the table.

The profits under the table may be even more terrifying.

Most of the gentry were landlords, and their land rent, commerce, etc.

Adding together all the gray income from various sources, the income of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was truly an astronomical figure.

Suddenly, a group of young men came rushing over and rushed to the incense registration office.

"Sir, I have to donate money too!"

"How much to donate?"

"Five strings of cash?"

"Five strings of cash. Wait a minute. Let's talk about this after all the gentlemen have donated."

"Sir, small money is still money, please accept it."

"Yes, we all have to donate, and after that we have to go back to work!"

"Sir, please be kind, we really believe in you, Lord Xinjun!"

A group of low-level soldiers rushed over, and the people thought there was going to be a good show to watch, but unexpectedly, this group of people also came to donate money.

Moreover, judging from the situation, there is no way to stop them from donating.

The people were speechless.

What happened to these soldiers?

Suddenly he turned into a good man with a surname of woman!

"Sir Zhang, since they want to donate, let them donate. It's all for the good intentions of Lord Daojun." Gao Huaide looked at the crowd and saw a few acquaintances. He stood up and said something fair.

"Well, since you are so kind, I will let you go."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, Prince Consort!"

A group of young generals donated the money with profuse gratitude, and left quickly with smiles on their faces under the shocked gazes of the people, with their feet flying as if they had won a great victory.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand!"

"When ministers donate money, they may be said to be flattering the government, but for these low-level soldiers, who will see their flattery?"

"That's right, isn't this just throwing money into the water? What a waste!"

Hearing the people's discussions, Gao Huaide and others smiled but said nothing. Some people even wanted to borrow money to improve their ranking on the incense offerings list.

After all, the higher the ranking, the more likely it is to be noticed by the Taoist Master.

This is the same as the consumption list of live broadcast.

Only the sponsors in the front row can enjoy the benefits. If you are at the end of the line, people can only call you brother at most.

"My Lord, can't you give up the second place?"

"Alas, this official is also in a dilemma. The princess has given instructions that this second one must not fail."

"Master Liu, why don't you move over?"

"Why should I move?! Humph!"

"Master Zhao, look..."

"What are you looking at? Do you know me well?"

The officials who were originally harmonious all put aside their pride at this moment.

Whoever dares to compete for ranking will be in trouble.

……

On that day, a notice appeared in Bianliang City, attracting the attention of the people.

"From now on, the government will oversee the construction of the Hunyuan Wuji Taixuan Taoist Temple. The wages are 500 coins a day, and will be paid daily. We are also sincerely recruiting skilled craftsmen from all walks of life, and the treatment will be excellent."

"Hiss...ordinary people can earn 500 coins a day, this is a sky-high price."

During this period, an ordinary worker was considered lucky if he could earn 100 wen a day.

Five hundred wen, five times the salary.

For the common people, this is like pie in the sky.

"Besides, we pay you on a daily basis. The court won't deny it!"

"When I saw that they were planning to build a large-scale project, I thought they were going to recruit labor service, but I didn't expect that they would just recruit workers normally. How much will it cost?"

"You don't know, do you? For this Taoist temple, all the ministers donated money from their homes. The money for the construction of this Taoist temple is more than enough. I'm going to register with the government. It's too late. How can I get such a good thing?"

"Brother, come with me. I'm a carpenter!"

In just half a day, all the workers and skilled craftsmen to build the Taoist temple were recruited.

Liu Wen took over the task of leading the construction, gathered everyone together, and looked down: "You are very lucky to be able to participate in the registration. Today, I will give you a little benefit to let you know the great power of the Taoist Master. You can also devote your heart and soul to the construction of the Taoist temple."
