Tiantan, that was a place that ordinary people could not enter in their entire lives. Now you can enter by paying money, and there is also a altar opened by Master Zhang to pray for blessings, and there is also a glass talisman that looks very tall at first glance.
The cards must have the cards, the pomp must have the pomp, and the atmosphere must have the atmosphere. This time the Luotian Dajiao Prayer Dojo is simply a scene that has not been seen in hundreds of years.
Even people who can't afford the money and can't enter Tiantan still want to touch the walls of Tiantan, as if they can get some blessings in this way.
The believers who entered Tiantan were even more excited. They only needed one thousand taels of silver to receive blessings from Master Zhang in person.
This is Master Zhang, the uncle of Master Zhengyi of Longhu Mountain. This is how the Emperor will be treated when he goes to Longhu Mountain.
How can this prevent believers from flocking to it?
Especially the real person Zhang, when he saw a thousand taels of magical artifacts, he just said "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord". If he wanted to buy a three thousand taels of magical artifacts, he would add a verse after "Infinite Heavenly Lord". For four thousand taels, he would add two verses.
, and by analogy, when it reaches 9,000 taels, a verse of scripture is recited directly, and a blessing is said at the end.
Yes, this is all taught by Yang Xuan.
At the end of the day, when it is almost dark, the ashram ends and a few Taoist priests are left to take turns chanting sutras at night.
Then Yang Xuan met the old Taoist priest in an optimistic side room next to him.
The old Taoist priest drank a lot of tea as soon as he came and chanted sutras for a whole day until his throat started to smoke.
"This is too tiring." The old Taoist priest complained: "If I had known, I would only do the dojo for three days. There are still eight days left. Who can hold on?"
Yang Xuan took out a stack of banknotes and said with a smile: "Taoist Zhang, thank you for your hard work, but today's hard work is worth it."
The old Taoist priest's eyes suddenly lit up: "How many are there?"
Yang Xuan put the stack of banknotes on the table: "I haven't counted them yet, Taoist Zhang, how about you count them yourself?"
The old Taoist priest didn't even wait for Yang Xuan to finish speaking, he couldn't wait to pick up the banknotes and start counting them.
The more he counted, the more excited he became, and the expression on his face became more and more unbelievable: "Seventy-one thousand, seventy-two thousand, seventy-three, seventy-five thousand taels? There are seventy-five thousand taels of silver in this day?"
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows: "How do you feel?"
"Okay, great. In this way, I can expand the Laojun Temple, build a statue of Emperor Zhenwu, accept good believers, and it can be regarded as a glory for my Taoist sect."
Yang Xuan glanced at the old Taoist priest: "You're too young."
"Um?"
"The layout is too small."
"What pattern?"
Yang Xuan took out a small box from under the table and placed it on the table.
"There are more here."
After saying that, Yang Xuan opened the buckle on the wooden box and said, "Daozhang Zhang, keep going."
The old Taoist priest reached out and opened the box. When he saw that it was full of banknotes, his hands could not help but tremble.
"This...is this all today's income?"
Yang Xuan said with a smile: Those are the income from today's magical weapons, and these are the income from seats."
The old Taoist priest had already started counting the banknotes before Yang Xuan finished speaking.
The banknotes in the box, at least the stack just now, were much thicker, and it was difficult to count them in one hand. The old Taoist priest could only place them on the table and count them one by one.
However, the amount of these banknotes is not as large as the ones just now. Those banknotes just now were all one thousand taels, and the maximum face value of these banknotes is only five hundred taels. Occasionally, you will see one or two.
Face value of one thousand taels.
When the old Taoist priest finished counting, his mouth was filled with tears: "Are you hungry for one hundred and eighty-seven thousand six hundred and seventy-three taels?"
"That's right, plus the two hundred and sixty-five thousand entry tickets sold before, as of today, the total is more than six hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver."
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said: "So, Taoist Zhang, your previous plan needs to be revised. Isn't it too promising to only expand Laojun Temple?"
The old Taoist priest could no longer speak and could only nod his head frequently.
After he poured another pot of tea, he said: "If there are so many in the next few days..."
"Daozhang Zhang, you are overthinking. The admission tickets cannot be resold. However, the seat fee and the cost of the magic weapon can still be sold. However, there should not be so many people in the next few days. After all, today is the first
One day, so the most people come.”
"That's not bad. More than 600,000 taels are more than enough to build ten Laojun Temples."
"Taoist Zhang, I'm not telling you. You already have so much money, so you can't make a living and just build a Taoist temple in Yingtian Mansion. Yingtian Mansion is the economic and cultural center of the Great Sheng Dynasty and has the largest population. Build a Taoist temple here.
, it will have a greater impact than anywhere else you build it.”
"In addition, Taoist temples need to be built everywhere. Look at how many temples there were in the Dasheng Dynasty, and then think about how many Taoist temples there are. If you want to expand the influence of Taoism, you need to build Taoist temples and expand publicity."
Following Yang Xuan's words, the old Taoist priest's eyes became hollow, and he didn't know where his thoughts had drifted.
After a while, the old Taoist priest came back to his senses and said, "You are right. Let's build a big building in Yingtian Mansion first. My nephew, who always lives in Longhu Mountain, how can we carry forward the Taoist sect?"
Na Shen optimistically said it was a Taoist temple, but it was basically a government office of the imperial court. Even the temple owner had an official status, so ordinary people would not go there at all.
If there is a Taoist temple, it will be easier for the people to get in touch with and understand Taoism.
"But how much money will it cost to build a Taoist temple in Yingtian Mansion?"
The old Taoist priest suddenly thought of a practical problem.
Yang Xuan scratched his head: "I don't know. It depends on where your Taoist temple is built and how big it is."
The old Taoist priest also scratched his head: "Then where should I build it?"
"You have to ask the emperor about this matter and see where he wants you to build it." Yang Xuan said, "The city is definitely better than the outside. The more lively the place, the better."
"But there is no open space in such a busy place in the city."
The old Taoist priest looked at Yang Xuan and hoped that Yang Xuan would give him advice.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and suddenly patted his head: "By the way, what do you think of Shengfa Department Store?"
The old Taoist priest squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Of course that place is good, but there is no open space nearby."
"What do you think about freeing up Shengfa Department Store and building a Taoist temple for you?"
The old Taoist priest's eyes widened: "Is this possible?"
Shengfa Department Store has now developed into a national distribution center and basically does not engage in retail business. It only has an area of 18 acres, which is no longer enough.
Shengfa Department Store now has three warehouses inside and outside the city, which are responsible for the exchange of goods across the country. No matter which warehouse is, it is much larger than the current Shengfa Department Store.
It can be said that Shengfa Department Store today only has a symbolic meaning. Although some people come here to purchase, the quantity is not large.
In other words, the turnover of Shengfa Department Store is no longer enough to support the operating expenses of this place.
It can only be regarded as an image store, and its symbolic significance is greater than its actual significance.
Shengfa Department Store is already well-known now, why does it need such an image store to support the scene?
Building a larger one in a remote area in the northwest of the city would be more in line with business rules.
