Chapter 975 The Ghost of Princess Jinyang

Businesses like running water signboards actually rely on reputation to run.

How to say it, this kind of business is like a spinning ball on a huge lever.

And reputation is the fulcrum that supports the lever.

Where is the most reputable place in Jinyang?

It must be the Big Buddha Temple.

It was the Iron Buddha that Master Chengkong spent sixty years and finally his own life to build!

As long as this Iron Buddha is there, the soul of the Big Buddha Temple is there and can be passed down forever.

Yun Chu wanted to rebuild the running water signboard in Jinyang, so first of all, he had to give the merchants in Hedong a point of confidence. Yun Chu felt that the Big Buddha Temple had a good reputation, so he decided to sell part of the reputation of the Big Buddha Temple for 60,000 strings of cash and inject it into the running water signboard.

Master Hanshan obviously wanted to refuse. As a Jinyang native, he also knew the current situation of the running water signboard in Jinyang.

However, the number of 60,000 strings of cash made it difficult for him to refuse!

Although the old master was a very noble person, the 60,000 guan was a number calculated by Yunchu himself. This number was neither too much nor too little.

If he gave too much, Master Hanshan would think it was a fraud. If he gave too little, the master would think it was not worth it. 60,000 guan was exactly the cost of Master Chengkong casting the iron Buddha, and it could solve all the problems of the Big Buddha Temple.

Just after Yunchu drank six cups of water from the Big Buddha Temple and went to the toilet twice, Master Hanshan finally nodded in agreement.

So, when Master Hanshan personally escorted 60,000 guan of cash to the Jinyang Trading Hall and claimed that this was the money that the Big Buddha Temple would use to repair the Buddhist statue ten years later, the value of the few bulk goods on the running water sign immediately began to rise.

At the same time, Yunchu personally visited the Jinyang Trading Hall and injected 500,000 guan of cash into the Jinyang Running Water Sign under the gaze of countless people, which instantly increased the guaranteed funds of the Jinyang Trading Hall, which originally had no funds to guarantee, to 560,000 guan.

Yun Chu personally sat in the Jinyang trading hall, and even sat on the edge of the running board, personally transcribing their quotations for the merchants present.

So, the sound of the clamps scratching the iron wire, which had not been heard in the Jinyang trading hall for a long time, sounded again in the trading hall. Once it started, it never stopped until the bell rang and the door closed.

Liu Kefei, the shopkeeper of the Da Zhao in the Jinyang trading hall, excitedly came to Yun Chu with a thick stack of documents and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, 227 copies, the trading volume has reached 30% of the volume before the accident."

Yun Chu took a sip of warm water and nodded.

He knew that the reason why he could do 30% of the previous volume today was that the 500,000 guan margin he brought was at work. 30% of the trading volume, that is, 110,000 guan, will still rise in the future, but 500,000 guan should be a hurdle. Only when the trading volume exceeds 560,000 guan, the reputation can be slowly established.

After all, Yun Chu and his team want to make short money by relying on reputation.

In the next three days, Yun Chu stayed in the trading hall, but he no longer worked in person. Instead, he sat on the second floor of the trading hall and drank tea by himself.

During these three days, the transaction volume of Jinyang Liushui brand was growing steadily, and the goods that had gradually disappeared from the flowing brand in the past were slowly replenished.

On the fourth day, Yun Chu received an old nun in black clothes at Jinyang Guanyi.

Although she was called an old nun, she was only about 30 years old, with a very pretty face, but she was filled with a deep old air.

The old nun claimed to be Huiyuan, the abbot of Mingda Temple.

Yun Chu was a monk and naturally knew the meaning of the two words Mingda. The word Mingda is a common word in Buddhism. Ming refers to the three Mings and Da refers to the three Das. It is called Sanming in Arhat and Sanda in Buddha. It symbolizes wisdom and understanding of worldly affairs.

At the same time, Mingda also represents Li Mingda, the princess of the Tang Dynasty who died early, that is, Princess Jinyang.

It is said that after the death of Princess Jinyang, who was extremely favored by Emperor Taizong and the current emperor, the grief-stricken Emperor Taizong ordered the use of the remaining money from the Princess Jinyang Tangmu County to build a Buddhist temple in Jinyang to pray for his daughter.

In this way, the host of this Mingda Temple should be the female officials, palace maids, and maids around Princess Jinyang in the past.

Yun Chu is now wearing monk's clothes, so he is naturally a monk. It is natural for a monk to sit opposite a nun and drink tea.

"Mingda Temple now has 50,000 strings of money."

After hearing Master Huiyuan's words, Yun Chu immediately liked the feeling of dealing with Buddhists.

After all, only by dealing with Buddhism can you make everyone blush and live a life full of energy.

"Forty thousand strings of cash, Mingda Temple and Dafo Temple share a total of 100,000 strings of cash."

Master Huiyuan said: "When Princess Jinyang died, Emperor Taizong did not take back Princess Jinyang's Tangmu Yisuo, and Your Majesty did not issue an order to take back Tangmu Yisuo after ascending the throne. Over the years, the money has been accumulated in Mingda Temple.

Mingda Temple is a place for meditation, and it is not a good thing to have so much money. I decided to invest all the money in this running water sign, and only need to withdraw a little money every year to support the Buddhist affairs of Mingda Temple."

After listening to what Master Huiyuan said, Yun Chu found that she had unknowingly fallen in love with Princess Jinyang, whose nickname was Sizi, or little rhinoceros.

Although she had died a long time ago, she gave people the feeling that she was still alive.

"Amitabha, if there is any surplus, the shopkeepers of the trading hall will choose a place to build some orphanages, and provide food and clothing every year. The exchange will ensure everything, and the name is Mingda Temple."

Master Huiyuan asked carefully: "Can it be built nearby? Can the practitioners of Mingda Temple take care of it in person after their practice?"

Yun Chu put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the practitioners of your temple have such enlightenment, and they will surely attain Anuttara Samyaksambodhi."

Master Huiyuan's originally gray eyes suddenly had a glimmer of light, and he continued to ask in a low voice: "When can Mingda Temple be built?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "That depends on whether there are those evil people who often harass Mingda Temple nearby. . "

Master Huiyuan put his hands together, secretly glanced at Yunchu and said: "There is a large house near Mingda Temple, which is a separate house of Pei Ji, the Duke of Hedong County. It is quite noisy on weekdays, but the owner is arrogant. I wonder if it is too difficult for Master Wukong?"

Yunchu smiled and said: "It's not difficult. Since I came to Jinyang, I have been constrained everywhere. I am already depressed in my heart. I rely on Buddhism to suppress it, but I didn't know that Buddha also got angry."

Master Huiyuan looked at Yunchu and said: "In this case, please ask Master Wukong to send someone to Mingda Temple to move the money. It's too late, and there may be changes."

Yunchu smiled and said: "What's the difficulty."

After that, he called Wang Dao, the military Sima of Shangzhou Zhechongfu, and Liu Kefei, the big shopkeeper of Jinyang Liushui Brand.

Yunchu said to Liu Kefei, Liu Rengui's cousin, "Mingda Temple has 50,000 yuan. You and Wang Dao can take 500 soldiers to get it."

Here he glanced at Master Huiyuan who was full of hope and said to Wang Dao.

"When transporting money and grain, make a bigger noise. It's best to make it known and take away the treasures of Mingda Temple in public."

Wang Dao was naturally a smart man, and immediately asked: "What if there are obstructions and saboteurs?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Your Majesty's decree has been made clear to the world. If the officials and private individuals in the world make any rash moves and embezzle the funds in the exchange's fund pool, they will be killed!"

Wang Dao understood and asked again: "Will the whole family be affected?"

Yun Chu glanced at Master Huiyuan and smiled: "Master, what do you think?"

Master Huiyuan hurriedly avoided Yun Chu's aggressive gaze and waved his hand: "Amitabha, what Mingda Temple wants is nothing more than peace."

Yun Chu laughed: "The Pei family has repeatedly obstructed my efforts to rebuild the fund pool, which is particularly hateful. As long as they dare to move, they will be killed together."

Wang Dao bowed and accepted the order, and hurried out to do business with Liu Kefei and an old nun brought by Master Huiyuan.

Yunchu poured a cup of tea for Master Huiyuan and said, "Master, wait a moment. After today, all your worries will disappear. You only need to chant sutras and pray for Princess Jinyang. In your spare time, you can take care of the orphans in Mingdayuan."

Master Huiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for not committing a crime, sir."

Yunchu smiled and said, "This is a win-win situation. Master, you don't need to feel guilty."

Master Huiyuan said, "The only thing that the Pei family hates about Mingda Temple is that I would submit a memorial every year on the anniversary of Princess Jinyang's death, and Your Majesty would often write a letter in reply. Unfortunately, in the past three years, the memorials have been as rare as a yellow crane, and there has been no reply, which has attracted countless ambitious people who covet the wealth of Mingda Temple."

Yunchu raised the teacup and invited him to drink. Master Huiyuan also drank happily. He drank too happily, and even tea dripped from the corners of his mouth and wet his black clothes on his chest.

Yun Chu avoided his gaze and muttered in his heart: "Could it be that my reputation of being a lover of old women has spread all over the world?"

Accepting Princess Jinyang's money into the capital pool is beneficial to the Jinyang Liushui brand.

Never expected that the small Mingda Temple would even provide him with a good opportunity to kill people and establish his authority.

The former female official named Huiyuan beside him may not know, but Yun Chu knows that Emperor Li Zhi's love for Princess Jinyang will not change because of the long time.

After Li Zhi has tasted all kinds of flavors in the world, perhaps, now only when he recalls the time when he grew up with Princess Jinyang, there will be some sweetness in his mouth.

Killing those who are rude to the dead Princess Jinyang, Li Zhi will definitely cheer loudly, and he may even go down and kill the corpse again. I believe that with Wu Mei's character, she can definitely do it. After all, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is kind, and the queen of the Tang Dynasty is a killing god.

Judging from the current situation, the emperor is trying to put the blame on the queen, and the queen is also trying to seize power. Now, it depends on whether the two will fight.

After all, Li Zhi at this time is much tougher than the Li Zhi recorded in history books.

Yun Chu really hopes to see the scene of this couple fighting each other in armor one day... What a grand scene it would be...
