Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"In the beginning, Zhang Shaoyin set the price at five yuan for a bamboo stool, seven yuan for a bamboo chair, and fifteen yuan for a bamboo bed."

"Later, under Zhang Shaoyin's persuasion, each bamboo utensil was quadrupled and doubled."

"Calculated, 440 bamboo stools can sell [-] sticks."

"600 bamboo chairs can sell [-] sticks."

"The bamboo bed can sell for 1240 pieces..."

At the end of the calculation, Du Yan directly gave the number and said: "After this trip, we earned a total of... seven thousand coins!"

Changsun Wuji was short of breath.

Earned so much?

Du Yan also looked excited, looked at Zhang Dun with burning eyes and said, "Zhang Dun, you have it!"

"I made seven thousand guan in this trip. If I make more trips and make more bamboo tools, I will earn even more!"

Zhang Dun shook his head with a smile and said, "I'll talk about the future. The most urgent thing is to bring the money back to Hedong Road. We can also give an explanation to the victims."

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, he had even thought about how the disaster victims in Hedong Road would react when they saw so much money.

"correct."

Du Yan suddenly said: "Zhang Shaoyin, Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi are outside, and they said they wanted to see you."

"Are they coming?"

Zhang Dun was surprised, and said to Han Xing: "Vice General Han, let them in quickly."

Han Xing made a promise, turned around and walked out. After a while, he walked in with Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi.

"Poor monk, poor Taoist has seen Zhang Shaoyin."

Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Liu Wuzi all smiled and saluted in unison.

Zhang Dun smiled back and asked, "Abbot Jingfa, Taoist Master Liu Wuzi, why are you here?"

Abbot Jingfa said seriously: "The poor monk came to congratulate Zhang Shaoyin and sold all the bamboo tools."

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "We are happy together."

It is indeed the same joy!

Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi looked at each other, then suppressed their smiles.

Abbot Jingfa said in a deep voice: "Zhang Shaoyin, the incense money in that poor monk's temple..."

Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi hurriedly echoed, "There is also the incense money for the poor Taoist temple..."

The co-author came to ask for money?Zhang Dun remained calm and glanced at Du Yan and Changsun Wuji, only to see that they took it for granted.

Penny...

How can it be a matter of course.

Zhang Dun still had a smile on his face, looked at Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Liu Wuzi seriously, and said:

"Do you mean to compete for profit with the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road?"

Abbot Jingfa: "???"

Liu Wuzi said, "???"

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji were also stunned, turning their heads to look at Zhang Dun in astonishment.

What do you mean, you don't plan to give them money?

They did a lot of work on this matter!

Abbot Jingfa came to his senses first, frowned and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, that's not what he said at the beginning."

Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi said solemnly: "Yes, Zhang Shaoyin met us at the beginning, but he said that he would add some incense money to the Taoist temples of poor Taoists and the temple of Abbot Jingfa."

Zhang Dun breathed a sigh of relief, "Scared me."

"I thought you said that you wanted to share the money from the bamboo utensils you sell."

"..."

The mouth corners of Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Liu Wuzi twitched a few times at the same time.

That's right, why does it sound so wrong?

According to what we said when we first met, isn't it just after selling the bamboo utensils, and then sharing some as incense?

However, Zhang Dun's current rhetoric is to take them out of the benefits of selling bamboo tools!

The two didn't say a word, but looked at Zhang Dun, wanting to see how much he planned to give.

"Incense money, naturally the two of you are indispensable."

Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Abbot Jingfa, and Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi, you have contributed a lot this time, and the court will naturally not treat you badly."

Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the two of them.

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji who were standing on the side were indeed terrified, and looked at Zhang Dun with deep eyes.

Zhang Dun didn't seem to see the eyes of the two, and continued: "The temple of Abbot Jingfa and the Taoist temple of Taoist Priest Liu Wuzi, I will give 100 taels of gold each, what do you two think?"

100 taels of gold is [-] guan!

Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Master Liu Wuzi looked happy, and said excitedly at the same time: "That's enough, thank you Zhang Shaoyin!"

"This money, you take it."

While talking, Zhang Dun shook his sleeves, took out two pieces of paper that had already been written, and handed them to them.

"..."

Abbot Jingfa and Taoist priest Liu Wuzi looked at each other in blank dismay.

The two took the paper in surprise, opened it and looked at it, and saw 100 taels of gold written on the paper.

Abbot Jingfa laughed angrily, "Zhang Shaoyin, are you going to tell the poor monk that this is 100 taels of gold?"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "This is written evidence."

As he said that, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Look at the three of us, do we seem to be able to bring 200 taels of gold with us when we come to Hedong Road?"

Abbot Jingfa couldn't help but said: "When the poor monk came in, he saw that the ox carts were filled with money."

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "The money is for the victims of the disaster, but it can't be used as incense. I hope Abbot Jingfa will forgive me."

Abbot Jingfa choked.

Wuzi Daoist Liu standing beside him was silent for a few seconds, waved the note in his hand, and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, but this document can't be used either."

Chapter 275 Zhang Dun's official explanation

"Both of you, please take your seat first."

Zhang Dun smiled, led them to the courtyard, pointed at the stone bench with his palms open and said.

After they sat down, Zhang Dun continued:

"The 20 pieces of bamboo furniture we brought, Abbot Jingfa, Taoist Master Liu Wuzi, do you think that if you sell them and turn them into money, they will be able to resettle the victims of the entire Hedong Road?"

The two shook their heads.

Although they are monks, they also know that Zhang Dun and the others came to Hebei Road this time and made a lot of money with bamboo tools.

However, the money earned is simply not enough to resettle the tens of thousands of disaster victims in Hedong Road.

Zhang Dun sighed, "The money is just a drop in the bucket."

"So, the bamboo utensils made by the victims in Hedong Road will be continuously transported to Hebei Road."

Zhang Dun raised his palm kindly with a smile, pointed at Abbot Jingfa and Taoist Master Liu Wuzi, and said:

"To be precise, it will be shipped here. I can guarantee that some of the bamboo tools will pass through your temples and Taoist temples."

"The next batch of bamboo utensils will even bear the imprint of your temples and Taoist temples. Those who buy bamboo utensils at that time will know that these bamboo utensils have been consecrated by your temples and Taoist temples at the same time. What the ancestors recognized is that having one can bring peace and make a fortune.”

"At that time, your temples and Taoist temples will be known to everyone in the world. Are you still worried about incense?"

Hearing this, Jingfa and Liu Wuzi's eyes lit up, and they pricked up their ears to listen to him continue.

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice: "Besides, once the disaster victims in Hedong Road are settled properly, this bamboo tool will not stop."

"At that time, the sale of bamboo tools will become a serious business, and the state governor's office will also negotiate with you and share some profits as incense for your temples and Taoist temples."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Jingfa and Liu Wuzi are not fools, so they couldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Dun's words.

Zhang Dun let them choose again.

Do you choose to keep the water flowing for a long time, or a one-shot deal!

Abbot Jingfa said without hesitation: "Zhang Shaoyin, the latter one is good!"

Liu Wuzi nodded in agreement.

Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, there is another premise in it."

"To do business, you need capital, you need someone to work, you need money everywhere."

Zhang Dun sighed, spread his hands and said with a sad face: "However, the imperial court is currently stretched and can't afford much money for disaster relief, so I have to find another way."

"..."

Jingfa and Liu Wuzi opened their eyes wide and looked at him in surprise. Abbot Jingfa couldn't believe it and said, "What Zhang Shaoyin means is that we want us to pay?"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, it doesn't matter."

"I heard that there are many temples and Taoist temples on Hebei Road. I will go back and ask Lin Changshi to see if there are any temples and Taoist temples here that are willing to pay."

"At that time, if you are willing to pay the capital, I will hand over the bamboo tools to them for consecration."

Liu Wuzi asked anxiously, "What about us?"

Abbot Jingfa frowned, he couldn't accept such a statement.

Isn't this the same as leaving them aside!

If you really want to follow what Zhang Dun said, the steady flow of business will fly out of your arms!

Zhang Dun apologized, "Then I'm sorry, we may only be able to cooperate this time."

"..."

Wuzi Liu opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

Abbot Jingfa suddenly put the paper in his hand on the stone table solemnly, and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, what do you think of this, the poor monk don't want the 100 taels of gold, and use it as capital!"

Liu Wuzi came to his senses, and put the paper in his hand on the stone table, and said seriously: "The poor Taoist also thinks the same way."

Zhang Dun was a little embarrassed, "Then why are you so embarrassed?"

Abbot Jingfa smiled and said: "It's all for the victims of the disaster in the east of the river. The poor monk is a monk. How can he just sit back and do nothing?"

Liu Wuzi also smiled, "Pindao thinks the same way."

Zhang Dun shook his head, looked at the two seriously, and said, "You didn't understand what I mean. What I mean is that the money may not be enough."

"..."

Jingfa and Liu Wuzi looked at him in shock.

Not enough money?

Want us to add money?

In this matter, treat it as if you are doing business, but you don't have to do that!

The agreed incense money, I will not talk about it after I gave two pieces of paper.

It's even more outrageous now, it's not enough for us to return the paper to you, and we need to post money? !

Changsun Wuji and Du Yan were also stunned watching from the sidelines, good guy, how can you still bargain with a monk like this?

Abbot Jingfa breathed heavily and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, can you give us an accurate meaning?"

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "At least you have to make some more."
