"War for the Buddha?" Master Zhishen was stunned. What's going on? The Buddha is compassionate and doesn't like fighting.

"The Western Regions were originally a Buddha country of thousands of miles, and the four towns of Anxi were once full of Buddhist temples and monks. However, since the Great Bao Khotan Kingdom was defeated by the Hei Khan Uighurs, Buddhism in the Western Regions no longer exists, and now it is the territory of heretics. I think the Buddha will not be satisfied. Fortunately, King Xiping has submitted a memorial to spread the troops from Hexi to Anxi, expel the Hei Khan Uighurs, and restore the four towns of Anxi. The master thinks that Buddhism should return to the four towns of Anxi at the same time?"

"This..." Master Zhishen seemed hesitant. Of course, Buddhism should return to the four towns of Anxi, but money and Dharma are different!

"Shisaisi," Pan Xingye, who was standing next to him, interjected, "Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple Changshengku is a big deal! The dividends assigned to your mansion in the past two years have been more than 150,000 yuan, so you can't do a loss business."

The Changshengku of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple is actually a deal between Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an. There are not many shares in Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple, but they just borrowed a name.

Because this Changshengku absorbed the deposits of exiled officials in the Song Dynasty in Haizhou and obtained deposits from the powerful people of Liao in Jiehe, it had a large amount of low-cost funds to be dispatched. At the same time, the merchants in Jiehe Commercial City and Haizhou Commercial City also had a strong demand for financing and exchange, so Changshengku's profitability was very good.

Last year, the dividends distributed to Wu Haogu alone exceeded 150,000 pieces (piles), which is also a very powerful money-making machine.

However, in Wu Haogu's view, giving himself 150,000 to 200,000 yuan a year is not the entire role of the Changshengku of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe, or even the main function.

The operation of this "bank" is quite stable and its profits are not small. However, it is far from exerting the power of money!

Money is used up, but it is extremely powerful!

The total value of gold, silver, copper coins and silk stored in the Changsheng Deposit of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe (including Jiehe, Haizhou, Xuzhou, and Xijin Prefecture has exceeded 15 million yuan! Such a huge sum of money, as long as one tenth is taken out, it is enough to support a huge war.

The benefits that a war can bring are so much that it is difficult to measure with money.

Although the targets of King Xiping Zhao Qianshun's expedition in the west were not the territory that Wu Haogu was interested in. However, Wu Haogu was still willing to let the Hexi army compete with the already fragmented and weak Seljuk Turkic Empire.

Because only Zhao Ji's "emperor" beat up the Seljuk Turks, the support of the Tianfang Sect world, could it be possible to make the Great Sericulture Kingdom and the Seljuk Turks feel fear of the Song Dynasty.

This was very beneficial for the Song Dynasty to acquire knowledge from the Arab world and seize sea control from the Arab merchants.

If the two brothers Qianshun and Cha Ge could have the ability of Yelu Dashi, they wouldn't have to be that big. If half of Yelu Dashi is as powerful as that, the loan from Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple would become a very valuable investment.

Even if the loan cannot be recycled in the form of repayment in the end, many additional benefits can be obtained!

"The transaction of lending money to King Xiping is to make no profits!" Wu Haogu picked up Guo Xiaoxiao's tea soup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said, "First of all, the King Xiping is a high-ranking official with a salary, office money, and public money. The income from the court in a year is no less than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. This money can be repaid in installments, and it is impossible to have a total bad debt."

King Zhao Ganshun of Xiping was the title of king, and there were also civil and military officials from the Taiwei and Kaifu Yi and the three corpses. He must have received the highest salary in the Song Dynasty. Secondly, he also had two officials, namely the Hexi Jiedushi and the Anxi Grand Protector, and both of them were real positions, so there were two jobs and two public money. In addition, there were various subsidies and rewards, mixed with one dollar, and there were no income of 30,000 yuan a year.

So you can get a war mortgage, borrow one million or hundreds of thousands at a time, and then pay it back slowly for decades.

Wu Haogu continued: "Secondly, King Xiping still has industries to manage. Don't look at his lost half of his territory, but the Hexi Corridor is still in his hands. The best channel on the Silk Road on the land is Hexi Zuolang. If you are good at managing it, you can still have a lot of money.

Again, King Xiping's troops are actually quite powerful. If we can get our loan, the possibility of winning the Western Expedition is still very large. If we win, King Xiping will get the territory and property of the four towns of Anxi. And this territory is not just King Xiping!"

"Not only King Xiping? Who else?"

Master Zhishen frowned.

Pan Da shopkeeper Pan Xingye also looked up at Wu Haogu.

In Wu Haogu, Guo Xiaoxiao, who was waiting outside the quiet room where Master Zhishen and Pan Xingye met, also pricked her ears.

Does Wu Haogu want to get a piece of land in the northwest?

"There are also Daxiangguo Temple!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The four towns in Anxi were originally Buddhist countries, but now there is no Buddhist temple. The King of Xiping is also a Buddhist disciple. If the Hexi army restores the four towns, of course, it will promote Buddhism. Daxiangguo Temple now lends money to King Xiping to the West and will lead Anxi Buddhism in the future. This is a big deal!"

It's indeed a big deal!

Daxiangguo Temple is the most profitable temple in the world! It has a Changshengku, a market for trading, land rent, and houses for rent... Yes, it also sells roast pork. It can be operated in a chain, and four Daxiangguo Temples are opened in the four towns of Anxi.

Of course, the doctors who convinced people with reason will also follow the monks to the four towns of Anxi. Although the monks are rich, they are not very good at reasoning and are not as good as doctors with one sword or one natural law.

Moreover, Wu Haogu was not worried about the solvency of King Xiping. Although the four towns of Anxi were not very large, the Hexi Corridor was also very barren. It would be very difficult to add one piece of the two places to support King Xiping’s huge army.

However, once the King of Xiping entered the four towns of Anxi, there would be no doubt that he would have a war with the Seljuk Turks. As long as he was in a smooth manner, the two brothers Chage could defeat the Seljuk Turks' army. Referring to the later achievements of Yelu Dashi, the problem should be small. Then he could continue to expand into the Hezhong area (referring to the Sir River and the Amu River Basin), and he could also blackmail the lords of the Tianfang Sect in Dashi, Persia, northwest of Tianzhu and other places. There is no possibility of paying back the debts of millions of yuan.

Master Zhishen was moved. He was first a monk and then a banker. How could he not be moved by this big deal that was greatly beneficial to the Buddhist cause?

But he didn't think of this transaction alone. To support the King of Xiping in the war, he would at least have a loan of millions, right? Moreover, the King of Xiping could not provide any mortgage.

The monk looked at Pan Xingye, and Pan Xingye frowned and said, "Head of the People's Republic of China, this is at least a million yuan in loans. If there is no corresponding guarantee, then I have to ask Taiwei Pan for instructions."

Pan Xiao'an has now been promoted to a rampant official and has also been appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, so he can also be called Taiwei Pan. As for Pan Xiao'an's official official, he has now become the general and the chief supervisor, and he is promoted to the West City Office.

"Millions?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Not so many, right? It's enough for us to take out 200,000. We can't take all such great merits. There are so many monks in the world, and they have to do their part to promote Buddhism!"

He looked at Master Zhishen and smiled and said, "People say there are ninety-nine temples in Kaifeng Prefecture, and each Buddhist temple has a vanity warehouse, and the warehouse is full of copper coins. Is this a matter?"

Although Wu Haogu is now known as the richest man in the Song Dynasty, the Jiehe Market he built with all his might is even more fertile. However, it is more than money. He and Jiehe Market are really not as good as a group of "bank monks".

No matter how rich Wu Haogu is, it will take less than ten years to start a business. How much can you accumulate? Kaifeng's Ninety-Nine Temples are at least a hundred years old shops! How can Wu Haogu compare cash with others? So Wu Haogu wanted to set up a silver group, oh, it should be a loan from the monks. I will bring dozens of temples to pay for the money, and Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple's Changsheng Bank takes the lead.

This will always make up two or three million!

Moreover, no matter how much Zhao Ganshun is a deadbeat, he would not dare to rely on the accounts of the temples in Kaifeng, right? This matter must be known to the Buddha. Not to mention that he may have to go to the eighteen levels of hell in the future, even his ancestors will have to go to the hell together.

This is unimaginable for a true Buddhist disciple.

This is the power of Buddhism!

...

After the "Sangha Loan", Wu Haogu and Master Zhishen and Master Pan Dashang Tata tasted the pork cooked by the monk Shaozhuyuan. After drinking and eating, they returned to their home with Guo Xiaoxiao. As soon as they entered the door, a family member came to report that Ji Yi, the official of Jingdong Maritime Mansion, was present.

"Brother Yizhi, I haven't seen each other for a long time, how did I get fat?"

"Hahaha, I'm so broad-minded and fat. Now I've left Kaifeng Prefecture, a place of trouble, and live in Haizhou like a fairyland. Can I not gain weight? Brother Chongdao, you have changed a lot! So strong, so strong!"

Having not seen him for a few years, Ji Yi, the official Ji has changed from a handsome young man to a laughing middle-aged fat man. However, he deserves to gain weight. He is now an official in Haizhou. He lives in Yuntai Mountain in a fairyland for half a year, and he is also a fat Shiju Shibo. In addition to making money, he enjoys happiness, and lives like a god.

In contrast, Wu Haogu was suffering. He was so busy that he was busy for the country, the people and the government. He even went to the battlefield for a lifetime! His temperament naturally changed a lot, and Ji Yi's description was just right. Wu Haogu became much stronger. He didn't look like a kind businessman, and his whole body was covered with coldness that could not be covered!

"Brother Yizhi came to Jiehe Market all the way, isn't it to reminisce about the past with me, a martial artist?"

After the guest and guest in the inner hall sat down, Wu Haogu asked Ji Yi straight to the point and asked him about Ji Yi's purpose.
