The imperial court's goods have been sold out, and it's time for Zhang Tianlin to sell his private goods. But no one wants such a worthless thing as a Japanese pirate's head, even if it costs a lot of money to bring it back, so he has long been sold to Dole
Gun and others were replaced with pieces of wooden signs and then thrown into the port called Taiji Town. It is said that the appearance of these Japanese pirate heads attracted a lot of sharks, so much so that the place is now occupied by soldiers of the Overseas Legion.
The gangsters renamed it Shark Bay.
It's a pity that Zhang Tianlin still has a bad habit that he can never overcome, so that most of the nearly two million taels of silver he managed to get went into other people's pockets. It wasn't until he left Xiaguan Port that he was reminded by others
Only then did he remember that he had only earned less than 500,000 military pay from this trip to Japan. How could he buy arms for his brothers and continue to rob them?
No one knows why Zhang Tianlin especially likes to go against Buddhist disciples. As long as he sees a temple, he can't help but want to demolish it. But everyone knows that this scourge had the courage to demolish it as early as when he was a bandit.
Yungang Ten Temples. This time on the Japanese island, Zhu Youcong directly packaged and sold all the temples from Kyushu to Ezo to him, allowing him to dismantle them all at once, so that he would not have to suffer from itchy hands when he returned to the country.
Violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
There was another reason why Zhu Youcong decided to do this that Zhang Tianlin didn't know. Not only did he continue to inflict physical torture on the Japanese pirates, but he also wanted to destroy the Japanese pirates' already very fragile minds.
Buddhism is also not allowed to appear on Japanese islands. Because Buddhism also has a cycle of cause and effect, it can also give Japanese pirates hope of getting rid of this kind of fear.
"Take a look, take a look, these are rare items brought from the Japanese Imperial Palace. And these..." Pointing to a bunch of large and small Buddha statues around him, a temple demolition expert shouted excitedly:
"They were all picked from such shabby places as Kinkakuji Temple and Kiyomizu Temple. Although they don't look very good, according to the monk on the island, these were brought there by the old bald donkey Jianzhen hundreds of years ago.
Things from the prosperous Tang Dynasty..."[
Fortunately, this time Zhu Youcong couldn't help but come up with a bad idea before Zhang Tianlin took action, asking him to take away whatever was left in the ruined temples on the Japanese island, and destroy what he couldn't take with him. After all, the temples in the Ming Dynasty must have been destroyed.
It cannot be demolished casually. But it can turn the monks in the temple into paupers. In the eyes of the shameful little fat man, he is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. It not only helped Zhang Tianlin survive the financial crisis, but also made the monks of the Ming Dynasty no longer
Influenced by worldly things, he devoted himself to asceticism.
"Amitabha!" A Buddha's name attracted everyone's attention. They saw an old monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes walking out surrounded by a group of disciples.
What was auctioned just now was a Japanese girl. Although the compassionate monks intended to save all sentient beings, they could only remain silent. After all, no one except the traitors dared to mention Japanese friendship. Want to play kindness with the enemy? The Ming Dynasty did not have this yet.
Free time. And the person who presided over the auction was the notorious bandit "Man Tianxing". If he saw it, it would be fine if he didn't get beaten, but you still want to persuade him to do good deeds?
But now we can no longer continue to watch indifferently. Although the Jianzhen, which brought the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty to Japan in this sudden public opinion war, has also been listed as a negative teaching material. But people have sinned against things. This is a shameful person on the stage.
They are all Buddhist treasures, and most of the people in the audience are brothel owners. If these guys who are full of male thieves and female prostitutes buy the Buddha statues, what will happen if they put them in the lobby?
"I'm not talented. I'd like to spend 50,000 taels of these Buddha statues to invite them back to Songshan Shaolin!" Although he felt distressed, the Shaolin abbot could only endure it. It was useless to reason with the bandits. It was safer to buy them according to the rules.
.
"Fifty thousand taels? Let us say that you, an old monk, are too stingy, aren't you?" Zhang Tianlin pointed to the side again and said: "Did you see that? That is the seated Sakyamuni statue in Tangzhaoti Temple, a genuine Tang Dynasty product! For
We even injured our hands when we moved this thing, please add more. Add more!"
"Amitabha! Donor Zhang..."
"No! Don't call me benefactor, I'm just a division commander of an overseas legion. In the past few years, what I did was all banditry!" Zhang Tianlin made no secret of her identity. He asked General Zhenguo to inform these monks to come here for the sake of great harm.
Make a fortune. "We don't know any Buddha. We only know that money is a good thing. As long as you can afford the price, we don't have time to care whether you buy it or invite it."
That's what I said, but the Shaolin abbot traveled thousands of miles to come to the auction site. You guys have to give him some face, right? And if you accidentally break such old antiques after buying them, it will be very distressing. The scene actually became deserted for a while.
.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels!" A somewhat weird Ming Dynasty Mandarin finally broke the silence. The price was increased by five hundred thousand taels at a time. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? This is not how money is spent! Everyone went out looking for reputation.
A well-dressed Xiyi appeared behind with a smile.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels! My lord, I will pay you five hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Aurelio is not interested in Buddhism, but he likes money after having successfully made a fortune. Zhang Tianlin has discussed with him in advance, if
When this batch of goods is sold out, he can get 30%.
"May I ask this donor, where do you want to enshrine these treasures?" The abbot of Shaolin was so excited. The Westerners who came from thousands of miles away knew that they had to pay a high price to bring back the Buddha statues to bless their peace. No wonder people often say that Buddhism is near.
Well. If I can trick him into donating these Buddha statues to me, maybe I can get him to donate some incense money or something like that.
"Consecrate? No! No! No! Dear sir, I plan to buy it back and use it as firewood to relieve my hatred!" Aurelio's words were not completely nonsense. He thought that his compatriots came to the Ming Dynasty to preach.
I was often suppressed by Buddhists.
But these are all things of the past after all. Now, for him and even those magicians who have taken root in the Ming Dynasty, faith includes not only money but also the national interests of the Ming Empire. Money can allow them to live a good life.
, and safeguarding the interests of the empire can allow them to get more money. As for religious beliefs, it depends on which god the emperor or the general of the Ming Dynasty thinks is more pleasing to the eye, and they will immediately talk about which one.
superior.
"You...you..." the Shaolin abbot was angry. If Zhang Tianlin's subordinates were not maintaining order, he really wanted to use the most authentic Shaolin Luohan boxing to beat this foreign magic stick until he didn't even recognize it.
.
"Dear sir, please don't be so excited. This is the Ming Dynasty, a country that emphasizes legal system and promotes freedom of belief. Moreover, the Buddha you believe in also warned you practitioners to abstain from anger, ignorance, and greed..."
Anyway, there is someone to protect Aurelio, so he is not afraid of being beaten. Having been in business for many years, he understands that if he wants to perform this scene well, if he cannot arouse the desire of his opponents, then they must hate him to the bone. "Now.
It's an auction. If you bid a higher price, I can only reluctantly part with it!"
"Six hundred thousand taels!" Are you still enduring the pain? Are you still giving up your love? If it weren't for the fear of violating the precept of anger again, the Shaolin abbot would really want to use all the curse words in his mastery of prosperity. Although the Buddha is very busy now and has no time to send down lightning to destroy this person.
The foreign god was hacked to death, but who could guarantee that he would not be hacked together in the future? Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and continue fighting according to the rules of the game.
"Seven hundred thousand taels!" Since there was no need to take out money from his pocket, Aurelio also competed with the devout Buddhists.
"One million taels!" The abbot of Shaolin also risked his life. Although this was all his property, he could not say anything to make the Buddha statue fall into dust again, or even be burned to the ground.[
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Just when everyone thought Aurelio had gone crazy, the profiteer shouted unhurriedly: "Gold!"
150,000 taels of gold? That’s more than 1.5 million taels of silver. This guy’s heart is really dark. He actually raised the price to such a high price. He’s not afraid of scaring away his opponents and letting Zhang Tianlin get his money back.
?
Is this... A Shaolin Temple definitely can't afford so much money, but they don't need to put so many Buddha statues in one place. And Zhang Tianlin even spent 200,000 taels of silver to buy the most reliable information. Only this time he
The invited eminent monks have nearly 5 million worth of property plus Dade. Although they will be taxed by the court at 20% after selling out, they can also go to the general of Zhenguo to buy more arms to arm themselves.
This will save you from becoming someone else's logistics team the next time you go out for robbery.
"One million six hundred thousand taels!" The abbot of Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou City stood up and used his practical actions to support the righteous behavior of the Shaolin Abbot.
"One million six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"..."
"Five million and six hundred thousand taels! Hey, do you want more money, you foreign god?" Zhang Tianlin originally only planned to make two or three million taels, but she really didn't expect this pile of junk to be so valuable.
"No more! They teamed up to bully me, a foreigner..." Aurelio seemed to have been greatly wronged, and tears kept rolling in his eyes. He was a person who knew how to give up when he saw good things. Now this
The price has already exceeded the entire property of the nine major temples who came here. If the show continues, it will be ruined.
"God is pitiful, my Buddha is merciful!" The kind-hearted abbots of the nine major temples in Shaolin, Lingyin, Hanshan, and Jing'an Baofeng... really don't know the secret conspiracy of those two scourges, but in order to save these Buddha statues, they really
He tried his best.
"Come here! Clean up this pile of junk. Don't lose money to our big buyer! In addition, after they sign and post the contract, send some smart brothers to follow to collect the money!" This is millions of taels of silver.
It's a big deal, why don't you send some of your own people to follow? Zhang Tianlin is really afraid that others will blame him.
"The last rare thing!" This time it was another big living person who was dragged out, and Zhang Tianlin spent several days trying to catch it. "This guy's name is Miyamoto Musashi. Don't look at him.
So, but his reputation in Japan is huge. What do you call him Sword Master?"
"Lift your fucking head up and show it to everyone!" After a hard kick, Zhang Tianlin continued to yell: "Although you can't take this thing back to guard the home, but if you open a martial arts gym, you can't.
It’s so useful. What sign is more attractive than hanging a Japanese sword master at the door?”
"Seventy thousand taels!" Peng Hu, the leader of Wuhu Duanmen Dao, stood up. He came all the way here just for this guy. Although the imperial court now runs official schools and abducts all the young people, but everywhere
The business of the martial arts school is booming day by day. The military training that the emperor has instituted at the Imperial Academy will soon be comprehensive. From the beginning of next spring, physical fitness will be an assessment criterion that is as important as conduct. Those who do not meet the standard in this subject must have a particularly good mind.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to enter a higher education institution.
And those weak scholars who want to strengthen their bodies should come here to learn martial arts? Although each sect has no intention of teaching their own unique skills, they will not let go of this big deal, and they are all thinking hard about snatching it.
What about the method of regeneration?
"One hundred thousand!" The people from Eagle Claw Sect also came. Like those brothel owners, they also know that any business must have its own characteristics. Hanging such a guy at the door can at least bluff people.
No? Anyway, no one would be stupid enough to say that they bought it. When they return home, they will definitely find a group of storytellers to publicize their feat of finally capturing the Japanese sword master alive after thousands of rounds of bloody battles! That's it!
It can prove that one's own martial arts is better than others, not to mention the effect of physical training.
"Come here! Look after this place for us. Whoever pays the higher price will take this waste away." Zhang Tianlin was still busy. He had to quickly sell off his private goods and go to General Zhenguo.
Otherwise, Liu Zongmin and others would pick out all the good stuff, and it would be useless no matter how much money he had.
"Su Laosan, where did you die?" Zhang Tianlin shouted anxiously as soon as she returned to the building that was about to be completed in Baoshan Institute.
"Here he is!" Su Laosan, who had been following Zhang Tianlin to rob houses since Shanxi, walked in from the door and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that we made more money this time than the bandit Li Zicheng..."
"Okay, that's all you have!" Zhang Tianlin cursed with disdain, and then ordered: "Hurry up and calculate, apart from the brothers' salary, how much can we have left this time?"
"It's been settled long ago. If we include the loser who hasn't been sold yet, we will make at least a net profit of more than four million taels from this expedition." Su Laosan also had his own bank before. If he hadn't been there, I don't know where he had offended him.
The then magistrate was accused of an inexplicable crime and his family was ruined. He would not become a bandit.
"Hurry up and get ready. We'll leave for Yingtian Mansion in half an hour!"
"Why are you going to Yingtian?"[
"Are you stupid? We have money in our pockets now, why don't you hurry up and tell Pei Laoliu?" Seeing that Su Laosan didn't seem to react, Zhang Tianlin kicked her hard and said, "General Zhenguo, what can you say?
Yes, ten machine guns will be sold this time! We were too poor to have the courage to rob Li Zicheng and the others, so we decided to get those tattered ones..."
"Buy arms! Yes, we have to buy arms quickly!" Su Laosan suddenly realized that this is not the past few years when he had money and drank and ate meat. The world is very big, and there are many things that can be robbed.
We are in a place where we have to arm ourselves quickly before we can continue to be tyrannical. "Don't worry, sir, we will set off now. We will rush there day and night, no matter what, we must grab some good things for our brothers!"
"Damn it, this trip has been in vain again!" Zhang Tianlin lamented. Although he did not complain about Zhu Youcong, it did not prevent him from cursing the little fat man in his heart for being dealt with severely by the emperor this time.
Compared with that damn fat man who has returned to Nanjing City, what he caused in Baoshan is nothing. This money went into someone else's pocket before he even took a look at it.
The ability of the generals who control the country is amazing. After a war, not only did the court not spend a single tael of silver, but it also filled the national treasury. You can make a fortune just by selling weapons to your own army, making tens of millions of taels.
, I’m afraid he and that unreliable emperor got back more than half of the 40 million taels of silver that the imperial court spent this year, right? (To be continued...)
