Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Zhu Han is a time traveler from later generations. Of course he knows what will happen to a country if businessmen have too much power.

Just look at those Western countries where businessmen maintain politics. All government orders serve businessmen.

But everything has two sides, and the saying "You can't be rich without business" is not just a casual saying.

If there were no commerce, all the goods in the world would be in circulation.

No matter how hardworking those ordinary people are, the most they can do is fill their own stomachs.

But human survival cannot be just about eating, other needs are also indispensable.

Therefore, while Zhu Han was preventing businessmen from becoming bigger, he also had to use the power of businessmen to make Ming Dynasty rich and powerful.

In every era and in every walk of life there are people who stand at the top.

As for Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan, they are such geniuses in business.

In fact, Zhu Han has been suppressing them overtly and covertly.

For example, among the construction projects in Yanjing, they were not given too many projects.

They were given meat, but other merchants were also given soup.

It's just that the advantages between the two of them are too great, and Zhu Han's suppression only slowed down their rise a little.

But it cannot completely curb their development.

And because the business scale of the two people is now so large, they have begun to penetrate into almost every corner of Ming Dynasty.

In order to curb their development, Zhu Han has always wanted to find others who can compete with these two people.

When I used to read books, I often scoffed at the so-called checks and balances of those emperors.

But after he sat in this position, Zhu Han discovered that sometimes playing with balance was a last resort.

He could only suppress Shen Wai Sangen and Zhou Gushan to a certain extent, but he could not really suppress them directly.

Otherwise, who would dare to continue doing business with confidence?
  Business activities that have already begun to develop will immediately suffer a heavy blow.

It might take decades to fully recover.

And this situation is a result that the pig man cannot bear no matter what.

Therefore, the best way is to support new capable people to disperse the influence of Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan.

From very early on, Zhu Han had already started looking for candidates.

It's just that it's limited by the times. Even if the businessmen are the most savvy people in this era, most of them still can't escape from this era.

Zhang Fengnian is already one of the best businessmen Zhu Han has seen in so many years.

Originally, he wanted to train him to be like Shen Wansan and the others.

But he didn't expect that at this critical moment, this guy would stumble so hard.

If you can't even understand such an obvious conspiracy, then the achievements that this guy Zhang Fengnian can achieve in the future will probably be quite limited.

Although it doesn't mean that he will give up on this guy, Zhu Han will definitely provide him with much less help than before.

This is just like those who were defrauded in later generations. They have been trapped in the information cocoon they have compiled and cannot extricate themselves.

As a businessman, it is quite fatal to be unable to judge the authenticity of the information you receive.

Although this does not mean that such businessmen cannot be successful, at least compared to those businessmen who truly know how to advance and retreat, they are not even a little bit behind.

Zhu Han personally spoke, and all kinds of information about this matter were naturally delivered to Zhu Han quickly.

After quickly checking the details, Zhu Han slammed the table in frustration: "Is this kid mentally ill?"

"Of course I have my own reasons for helping him. Could it be that he thinks that I am a fool and just help someone for no reason?"

Zhu Han thought about many possibilities, including that Zhang Fengnian was originally a superstitious person, but he had little contact with him before and didn't show it.

Or maybe this guy has suffered some kind of psychological trauma before.

He never thought that the most important reason why Zhang Fengnian was easily deceived by Chong Yunzi was because he had made too much money recently, so he felt unsure and was afraid that he would not be able to control his current wealth. So I just thought of looking for some psychological comfort.

After knowing this reason, Zhu Han couldn't wait to call Zhang Fengnian over and scold him bloody.

This guy is very young, how could he still have such childish thoughts?
  Doesn't he understand that with his current size, he can do business in this era?

As long as he is not involved in rebellion, even if he wants to lose all his current capital, it is almost impossible.

After all, they don't even have any profitable projects, just relying on the construction projects in Yanjing that they are currently involved in.

She could let them live in vain for most of their lives, so what else could she worry about?

However, after the initial anger, Zhu Han gradually calmed down.

Although Zhang Fengnian is excellent, he is still a person of this era after all.

In many cases, after all, it is still impossible to escape the inertial thinking of people in this era.

Not to mention Zhang Fengnian, even those well-known wealthy businessmen in later generations.

For example, the persona of later generations has collapsed, and a certain businessman with the surname Ma, who was widely criticized by the people since his full name was dad, was also deceived by a big scammer, wasn't he?

"Okay? In that case, I will go and meet with Taoist Chongyunzi for a while."

Before going out, Zhu Han did not forget to tell Liu Shenhong: "By the way, remember to call Zhang Fengnian for me, and He Fengyu and the others, also bring them with me."

"I would like to see if this so-called god like him can defeat a real god."

Zhu Han had a strong look of ridicule on his face.

Although Chongyunzi's current scenic spots are very big, compared with He Fengyu, they are not even the slightest bit worse.

Now He Fengyu, after experiencing the incidents of fetching water and demolishing the stone Buddha, in the minds of the people of Datong Prefecture, he has almost no intention of being a real god.

He still didn't believe that a mere charlatan could shake his student's position.

Before Liu Shenhong left, Zhu Han called him over again and whispered a few instructions in his ear.

When Zhu Han arrived at Chong Yunzi's residence, he was also startled by the appearance of this woman.

It is another place where there are so many people that almost no water can get in.

And because of the terrain, there seem to be many more people here than at Ci'en Temple.

Ci'en Temple is built on a hill and covers a considerable area.

A mountain gate alone is no smaller than the square in front of the Yamen Gate. It is precisely because the terrain is relatively wide that even if there are more people, it only looks like there are many.

But the situation of Chongyunzi's residence was different. It was originally an ordinary residence.

Even though it was facing the street, the street at this time was not very wide.

Because of this, the streets were crowded with dense crowds.

A piece of black duck was visible to the naked eye, and all Su Han could see was the tops of most people's heads.

Zhu Han had only seen this kind of scene in Yanjing City.

"Brother, you are also here to see Taoist Master Chong Yunzi." A person next to Zhu Han looked up at Zhu Han and asked curiously.

Zhu Han's height can be said to be quite tall compared to ordinary people of this era.

Standing among the crowd, it can be said that he is quite conspicuous.

So something good happened soon, and I started chatting with Zhu Han.

Zhu Han nodded slightly and did not directly answer the other party's words: "So be it."

The purpose of his visit this time was to expose Chong Yunzi face to face, and there was no problem in saying what he said to the other party.

Hearing this, the man immediately became excited and said, "I knew you had the same purpose as me, little brother."

"I can tell you, this Taoist priest Chong Yunzi is an incredible person."

"Actually, I didn't really trust Chong Yunzi before. After all, there are too many liars these days, such as Ci'en Temple."

"At that time, the stone Buddha grew out of the ground and grew a little bit every day. Everyone thought it was the real Buddha who was born. But no one expected..."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, looking extremely regretful: "It turned out to be all a scam."

"I originally thought that the monks in Ci'en Temple were eminent monks. But I didn't expect that they were just a bunch of liars."

Looking at the man's indignant look, Zhu Han knew that this guy must have been bleeding profusely in Ci'en Temple.

At that moment, he comforted him with a smile: "Brother, there is no need to be so angry. After all, hasn't the imperial court returned the incense money you contributed to Ci'en Temple to you?"

"I became even more angry when you said this." The man gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness is a good man. After knowing that we were deceived, he asked Ci'en Temple to return the money to us."

"But the problem is that there were too many people at that time, and there was no way to retreat all of them."

"And there are some nasty guys who want to fish in troubled waters. They obviously only paid one piece of silver for incense, but they insist on saying that they paid two taels."

"It's also a bit shameless. Even though I have never paid for incense, I still claim that I have taught him."

"So in order to appease people's hearts, the imperial court sometimes has to make a compromise. Everyone returns some, but everyone cannot return the full amount."

"For example, my friend donated eight silver coins for incense, but the court only returned five coins to him."

"Although I got some money back after all, it doesn't mean it was all in vain."

"But who do you think you can talk to to reason with this?"

Zhu Han was also helpless. He really wanted to find out at that time and would never give those with ulterior motives a chance to fish in troubled waters.

It's a pity that this kind of thing has never been able to be truly investigated from ancient times to the present.

There are too many people involved.

Even if Jin Yiwei can investigate one or two, it is impossible to find out everyone's situation.

If you really want to investigate, it's not completely impossible, but in that case, the time and energy spent will be too much.

I'm afraid there won't be a clear investigation within three to five years.

But the matter at Ci'en Temple must be resolved as soon as possible so that the angry people can calm down as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we avoid something that shouldn't happen.

So in the end, Zhu Han could only choose a compromise.

Based on the number of applicants and the approximate amount of donations, an average conversion is performed.

In this case, some people will indeed take advantage, but others will suffer.

The only good thing is that it only took more than a day for Jin Yiwei to completely calm down the situation.

Almost all the people who were defrauded of their incense money got their money back.

It seems that this person today was the one who suffered at that time.

"I don't know how much money my brother got back?" Zhu Han looked at this guy's aggrieved look and estimated that this guy might have lost a lot, that's why he was so angry.

"Uh, um..." The man hesitated for a moment and said rather awkwardly, "I don't believe in Buddhism. Although I took a look at the stone Buddha in Ci'en Temple, I didn't donate any incense money."

……

Zhu Han was speechless.

You didn’t donate the incense money, you said it was so lively. He thought this guy donated a lot, but because of his order, this guy lost a lot of money.

That's why this guy is so angry.

Where is the face?
  Of course, there is no need for Han Han to be as knowledgeable as an ordinary person. He asked with a smile: "Then you don't suspect that Taoist Chong Yunzi is also a liar like the one at Ci'an Temple?"

"Absolutely impossible." After hearing this, the person immediately categorically denied it.

"Taoist Chongyunzi is definitely not a liar. I have seen Taoist Chongyunzi perform magic with my own eyes."

As if he was afraid that Zhu Han would not believe him, the man danced around and started talking with foam at the mouth: "Let me tell you, please don't be disrespectful to Taoist Chongyunzi."

"Unlike those liar monks at Ci'en Temple, Taoist Chongyunzi is definitely a man of great ability."

"I asked Taoist Chongyunzi to help me read my face before. He said that I might make a fortune recently. Unexpectedly, just the next day, I received relief food from the court."

Zhu Han was so excited that he couldn't spit it out: "Brother, is this wrong? You received relief food from the imperial court. That is also a benefit given to you by the imperial court. What does it have to do with Chong Yunzi?"

The man glanced sideways at Zhu Han, as if he had never seen the world before: "You don't understand, not everyone can receive this relief food."

"According to the prince's rules, the court will only distribute relief grains to those people who are living a particularly difficult life. Although my family's situation is not too good, it is not that bad compared to those who really can't live. Where to go, so relief food and the like have no share at all."

"But after I asked the Taoist priest to help me with the fortune telling, I immediately received the relief food."

"Do you think this is the credit of Taoist Chongyunzi?"

Zhu Han suddenly felt that what this guy said seemed to make sense.
