Chapter 180 Taking Waguan Temple as a note
It was Geng Wenjun who made the plea. Her little face turned red and she looked at Yunfeng eagerly. Out of righteous indignation, her little fists were tightly clenched. It was obvious that Gu Chun's arrogance offended her! And Zhang Lingyun and Xi
Xuan is also a mask of frost.
Geng Wenjun, Xi Xuan, Wang Xizhi, and Xie Shang all came from the Nandu gentry. Although Zhang Lingyun was from the northwest gentry, the Huaxian sect settled down in Jiankang. It was considered a small group, and Yuan Dan was influenced by Wu.
clan gentry
The insult was a grudge, but the first four people were also short of money and were still part of the proletariat for the time being, so they were unable to lend a helping hand to Yuan Dan. Wen Qiao, Geng Liang and others were also inconvenient due to their age and status.
Come forward.
With a flash of thought, Yunfeng understood that there was indeed no one more suitable than him. While he was secretly surprised that Geng Wenjun was not stupid, he turned to Xie Shang and asked: "Do you know this Yuan Yandao? Maybe ask him
come over?"
Surprise appeared on Xie Shang's face, and he quickly stood up and shouted loudly: "Yuan Yandao, General, please come over!"
As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw while drowning, Yuan Dan immediately left the table and ran all the way to Yunfeng. Without saluting, he asked expectantly: "General, why did you call me?"
Yun Feng smiled slightly and said: "Yuan Yandao, since you support me, I can't just sit back and watch you be embarrassed. In this case, I will lend you a thousand catties of gold to gamble!"
For an instant, a look of disbelief appeared on Yuan Dan's face, and then turned into ecstasy. He stepped forward and grabbed Yunfeng's hand, saying excitedly: "Okay, okay! Since the general believed it, I, Yuan Yandao, will not be disrespectful."
Everything you win belongs to the general. If you lose, your life will be sold to the general!"
Yunfeng knew it well. This man was a real gambler. He had reached the highest level of gambling. He did not care about money, gains and losses, and did not care about life and death. He only wanted to feel comfortable. He had found his own way, the way of gambling.
!
Yun Feng shook his head and said: "If I win you, I will each take half of it. If I lose, I will take all the credit!" Then, without waiting for Yuan Dan to be polite, he ordered back: "Go back to your home and fetch a thousand pieces of gold, and give them to this person."
Brother Yuan."
"Yes!" The two guards took the order and left.
Everyone was moved by Yunfeng's generosity! According to the Jin Dynasty, which could barely be called the prosperous period of Emperor Wu of Jin, one pound of gold was equivalent to one hundred thousand, which was worth five baht, and one thousand pounds of gold was worth one hundred million. Iron money was widely used in Jiangdong.
five baht money with
The black market price of iron money is 1 to 10 to 1 to 15, and a thousand kilograms of gold is worth 1 billion to 1.5 billion of iron money! Nowadays, gold, silver, copper and other hard currencies are gathered in the hands of powerful nobles, and the market is even more
It is scarce and its value will rise even higher!
The bet that was originally only tens of millions of dollars has been increased by more than a hundred times. It's no wonder that Yuan Dan sold his life to Yun Feng. He really couldn't afford to lose if he lost. He has no property and no job, just a run-down nobleman. And this thousand pounds of gold is also Yun Feng's.
Feng currently has all the gold on hand.
After the excitement, Yuan Dan came back to his senses, bowed respectfully to Yunfeng, then held his head high and laughed loudly: "Gu Chun, don't be arrogant, do you dare to bet a thousand gold with me, Yuan Yandao? Hahahaha" Now
It was his turn to laugh arrogantly.
Gu Chun did not dare to make the decision, so he asked his father Gu He for instructions. After a while, the two attendants turned around and left. It seemed that they had agreed. Although the stakes were staggering, it was a matter of face for the Gu family in Wu County, so he did not dare to
Bet, the whole family won't even think about raising their heads and being a good person!
Gu Chun stood up again and said without any sign of weakness: "Hmph! Just bet. I, the Gu family of Wu County, are still afraid of you?"
This huge bet made everyone feel excited. They were all looking forward to the upcoming debate. Even Sima Rui slightly opened his cloudy eyes! The attraction of money is indeed very strong, and money can influence the gods.
The saying originated from the Jin Dynasty!
Yunfeng's expression was calm, as if he didn't care about this daughter. He stood up and cupped his hands in front of him: "Master Zhu, it's your turn and my turn, please!"
Zhu Daoqian put his palms together, nodded slightly, and left the table.
Yunfeng turned around and smiled: "Xiaolan, would you like to do me a favor? I will step forward and record the content of the debate."
"Ah!" Xiaolan exclaimed. She obviously didn't expect that Yun Feng would give her such an important task. Sitting next to this man in front of the emperor, the prince and all the dignitaries in the city, it was impossible not to be excited and happy.
, however, she is more nervous. After being a maid for more than ten years, she will inevitably feel oppressed when facing big people.
Xiaolan's hands were trembling a little, and she said hesitantly: "General, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do the job, and that I will fail the trust..."
Zhuge Fei interrupted and encouraged: "Xiaolan, it's just a record. What do you care about those people outside the court? What do they have to do with you?"
Xiaohui also took it and said with envy: "Yes, Xiaolan, if you don't dare to go, then you can change it to your sister, haha."
Xiaolan gritted her silver teeth and looked at Yunfeng bravely: "Please rest assured, general, I will never miss a word!"
Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't make it so serious. It's not like you can't write. Just pack up and follow me up."
"Yes!" Xiaolan nodded solemnly, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and followed Yunfeng to the floor and sat down.
Everyone felt that Yunfeng was too arrogant and arrogant. He actually dared to bring a maid forward to record, so he was not afraid of being uncomfortable if he lost? Gradually, the noise in the square became quieter and quieter until it fell silent. Everyone was waiting.
The show begins!
Yunfeng stretched out his hand and said: "Master Zhu, how about you and I come to join in the fun to support Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the clan kings, and all the ministers and nobles?"
Zhu Daoqian said calmly: "What should General Yu do?"
Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Taking Waguan Temple as an example, including the tenants of the temple's property, can Taoist Zhu dare to accept it?" At that time, the Buddhist precepts were not complete, and there was no such thing as abstaining from gambling.
For a moment, the whole place was silent! Then it was like countless flies and mosquitoes flew in, making a noise! Is this person crazy or arrogant? The thousand gold bet just now was enough to attract attention, but now it seems that playing house with a child
It’s no different at home! They all can’t help but look excited, as if they are the ones taking part in the bet!
You know, it is not an exaggeration to call the property of Waguan Temple an astronomical figure. There are thousands of hectares of farmland just outside the city! There are more than ten thousand tenants! The temple also covers an area of dozens of hectares, and the buildings are luxurious.
, exquisite and luxurious, supporting thousands of Taoists, but it is still under construction
The prosperous Changqianli area in Kangxi! This does not include the huge amount of sesame oil money in the temple! More importantly, Waguan Temple is a symbol of Jiankang Buddhism. Once it loses, the face of Buddhism is equivalent to being severely punished.
A slap in the face! I won’t be able to hold my chest high and preach the Dharma again for a long time!
However, no one thought that Yunfeng could not afford to gamble, and there was no comparison between Yunfeng and them. In the eyes of the Qiangongqing gentry, as a foreign minister, all the properties in Qinliang and Qinliang states belonged to Yunfeng, and this
People once defeated Li Xiong. In any case, there is no doubt that the Chengguo treasury and Li Xiong's internal treasury fell into his hands. What's more, there are so many local aristocrats and bureaucrats in Chengdu. They don't believe that this person will be so kind.
It's weird to plunder and plunder!
Nearly ten thousand eyes in the square and nearly a hundred thousand eyes outside the square were all focused on Zhu Daoqian. Ordinary people would have been trembling all over and breaking out in cold sweat. But Zhu Daoqian was not an ordinary person after all. He lowered his eyes and said quietly.
: "The general's arrogance makes me admire the poor Taoist. However, Waguan Temple was given by the Lord. I dare not rely on it to support the general. Please forgive me!"
Suddenly, there were boos everywhere!
Except for the clan and Zhu Dao who were behind the scenes, everyone, including the common people, showed disappointment. Gambling in Jiankang was a common practice. Betting on the huge assets of Waguan Temple was a huge bet they had never seen before. One party did not dare to challenge it.
Isn't it regrettable?
In their view, Zhu Daoqian's lack of courage to challenge was a sign of lack of confidence and fear of losing! Some people even doubted the theory of ghosts and gods. Otherwise, why wouldn't Zhu Daoqian dare to gamble?
Xun Guanniang smiled appreciatively and said to Zhang Lingyun puzzledly: "Lingyun, Duanshan is really a good trick. If Zhu Daoqian refuses blindly, he will lose his reputation unless he can win. But, why does Duanshan dare to do such a heavy trick?"
Note? Could it be that he has not thought about the consequences of losing to Zhu Daoqian? He will not be able to regain his strength for at least three or two years!"
Zhang Lingyun said confidently: "Master, although I don't know where Yun Lang got his confidence, I also understand that Yun Lang is not a reckless person. Since he dares to do this, he must have something to rely on. Master, it will be fine."
Xun Guanniang nodded silently and said no more words.
Yuan Dan, who was sitting at Yunfeng's table, also had a demented expression on his face, and kept repeating one sentence: "It's useless for me, Yuan Yandao, to claim to be the Jiankang God of Gamblers, but now it seems that my handwriting alone is not as elegant as that."
Fabi, there is a huge difference between him and a general!"
Xie Shang waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked with concern: "Yuan Yandao, are you stupid?"
In the neutral zone, Ge Hong turned around and stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Old Taoist, your cheap disciple is really ruthless and ruthless. Waguan Temple is equivalent to Zhu Daoqian's home. It's unlucky for him to bet with other people's homes.
Compared to the way you acted back then, you are even worse. It’s true that we are not a family, and we don’t belong to the same family! Haha.”
Master Wu Puzhen glared at him and said displeasedly: "What's the point of worrying about worldly things? Why is this kid dawdling? It will waste time!"
Others had different reactions. Yunfeng was secretly satisfied and retorted: "What Taoist Zhu said is wrong. I don't agree with it. Based on what Taoist said, shouldn't the things given by the Lord not be spent? Your Majesty."
Shouldn't the rewards of gold and silver be hidden at home? Although Waguan Temple is a reward from the Lord, it is now owned by Taoists and is the private property of Taoist Zhu!"
Then, Yunfeng stood up, bowed in the direction of Sima Rui and said: "I would like to ask your majesty, your highness the prince, whether the Waguan temple has been given to Taoist Zhu? Can Taoist Zhu handle it? Your majesty, your highness the prince, please tell me!"
Sima Shao had a headache. Deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to focus on Waguan Temple. This was related to the majesty of the royal family, and Zhu Daoqian might not be sure to win. However, if he disagreed, the royal family would lose face.
If no one is allowed to use the items given as rewards, is this still called a reward? There is no such truth in the world!
