Chapter 63

Time is limited, so hurry up.Next, Chang Feng is going to search the Changsheng Library.

The so-called Longevity Bank is, to put it bluntly, the money bank of the temple.

But this time the purpose of checking the Changsheng Treasury is not to find the stolen money, but to find the secret room of the cellar.

Chang Feng ransacked the house in Jinyiwei for three years, claiming to be someone who had seen money.But this time, Dayongchang Temple will tell him what it means to be rich!

Corrupt officials?Their little money is really weak compared to Dayongchang Temple!

Chang Feng took Huzi by the hand and led the crowd to a place a hundred steps away from the Changsheng Library.

Huzi suddenly fell to the ground and made a strange sound of "woo woo woo".

Chang Feng frowned: "Could it be that Huzi also fears the Buddha? Was he frightened by the Buddha's Longevity Bank?"

Chang Feng guessed wrong.Huzi's sense of smell for money is too sensitive.He was smoked by the stench of huge amounts of money!
In front of the Longevity Library, there were originally monks guarding it.However, the monks were all gathered by General Ye to "save the soldiers who died at the border".

Before pushing open the door of Changsheng Library, Chang Feng was shocked!

The two gates of the Changsheng Library are covered with a thick golden skin!
It's not copper skin, nor is it gold-plated, but a genuine gold skin!
For these two doors alone, the gold skin wrapped is probably more than 500 taels.

Everyone worked together and pushed open the two doors.

Oncoming are dozens of large iron frames.

Silver ingots, silver ingots, and silver coins are neatly stacked on the iron shelf.

Roughly estimated, there are at least [-]!

Fatty Xu said: "My dear. With so much money, Ji Xiao doesn't even bother to hide it? Just put it here so brightly?"

Chang Feng smiled wryly: "Oh, the money is nominally donated by pilgrims, and it's a business income, which is in compliance with the law. He is also the imperial teacher of the dynasty. Maybe he thinks there is no need to hide it."

Going further inside is a golden mountain.It's not an adjective, it's a real gold mountain.

20 taels of gold ingots built a hill.

Each gold ingot is engraved with the words "Boundless Buddha Dharma".

At least for Dayongchang Temple, Buddhism is indeed boundless.Can accumulate so much gold!Chang Feng estimated that this golden mountain must be as large as 6000 taels.

What is the concept of 6000 taels of gold?Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong Province is the largest gold producing area in Ming Dynasty.In the 22nd year of Chenghua, the amount of gold produced and handed over to the household department in Laizhou Prefecture was only about 500 taels.

Chang Feng sighed: "My Buddha is merciful! No wonder there is a theory of the seven treasures in Buddhism. Ji Xiao's ability to gather the seven treasures is worthy of the title of 'National Teacher'."

Fatty Xu asked, "Which Qibao?"

Chang Feng replied: "Gold, silver, colored glaze, coral, giant clam, red pearl, agate."

Going further inside, there are ten large wooden boxes.The word "Wanguan" is pasted on each wooden box.

Chang Feng opened a wooden box, which contained bank deposit certificates.Each card is two or five.

Bank deposits are different from banknotes.Due to the excessive issuance of Ming Dynasty's precious banknotes in the past, it is now almost like wipes.

When the great grandfather founded the country, he decided to exchange one thousand copper coins for one thousand copper coins.During the orthodox years, Tongtong banknotes on the market could only be exchanged for ten copper coins.Depreciate a hundred times.

However, the bank's deposit certificate refers to the certificate that the depositor deposits copper coins in the bank, which can be redeemed upon payment.If it is written on the deposit ticket, it can be exchanged for a consistent copper coin.

It is said to be "rich with money".There are as many as [-] copper coins accumulated in the Longevity Bank!
Further inside, there are four big boxes of land deeds.There was an account book in one of the boxes. Chang Feng flipped through it and found a total.

The temple land of Dayongchang Temple is as large as 15 mu!That's 15 taels of silver!
(Note: I beg readers of some historical experts to stop spraying! During the Chenghua period, the price of an acre of land was one tael of silver, refer to "Taiping County Chronicles". In my book, all numbers and historical events are based on historical books .I didn’t make it up randomly. You can’t say that it’s different from the concept in your mind, so just spray me for making it up. "The big things are true, and the small things are not limited" is my writing principle.)
Chang Feng made a rough estimate that the wealth of the Longevity Bank of Dayongchang Temple is at least 30 taels!The top ten Cai Zhong got from greed for ink.

You must know that in the 17th year of Chenghua, the emperor seized the silver from the Taicang treasury in the name of "rewards from the inner court to spend on Jinguang", which caused a storm of kneeling and admonishment by all officials.The amount embezzled is only 30 taels.

Fatty Xu is gearing up for it: "Fucking shit. So much money. It's a pity not to copy it."

Chang Feng said: "My hands are itchy too. Don't worry, the money will belong to the imperial court sooner or later."

The "sooner or later" that Chang Feng said was alluding to the day when the prince passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne.Can't say it clearly.

Chang Feng told everyone: "Don't be dumbfounded. Our purpose here is not to find gold and silver, but to find the secret room of the cellar! Check!"

Huzi is no longer useful.The strong smell of gold and silver in Changsheng Curry interfered with its sense of smell.

More than 50 people knocked on every stone slab and every wall in the Changsheng Library.Look for hollow chambers and the like.

However, nothing was found after half an hour!
Everyone left the longevity storehouse.Chang Feng glanced back at the huge money bank: just wait.The next time I come, it will be to transfer money for the treasury!
The sky has gradually darkened, and it is already evening.

Chang Feng and others continued to search inside the pagoda.

At the same time, in the underground secret room of Dayongchang Temple.

This is not so much a secret room as it is an underground palace.

A whole hundred young women, tied up and stuffed with rags, knelt in the underground palace.

Among these young women, there are not only those who disappeared from the vassal yamen, but also thirty or forty women from common people's families.

Behind the young women stood dozens of strong men.

In the center of the underground palace, there is an altar.There is a big tripod in the center of the altar.

Two people stood by the altar.

One is the third younger brother of Concubine Wan Gui, who is the governor of the rear army, Wan Xi.

One is Li Zisheng, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Zisheng, a traitor who was in a high position by helping Emperor Chenghua refine elixir and find longevity.

Wanxi said: "Master Li, a letter has been sent from the ground. It is said that the crown prince brought a group of people into the temple, as if he was looking for our secret room."

Li Zisheng didn't take it seriously: "Ji Xiaoxiu's secret passage entrance is extremely secretive. They can't find it, so it's nothing to worry about."

"When Yinshi is tonight, when the cloudy year, the moon, the moon and the day arrive, the blood of a hundred good-looking virgins will be poured into the cauldron, and the 'Shoushou Pill' will be cooked. The life of the noble concubine will be saved!"

Wanxi said: "Our Wan family depends entirely on you, Li Xianshi!"

Li Zixing was a little worried: "Isn't it inappropriate for us to hide the matter of kidnapping the candidate woman under the guise of the demon fox?"

Wan Xi said: "So what can they do if they know? If my sister's life cannot be saved, the Wan family, Eunuch Shang, and you and Ji Xiao will all die in Zhu Youtang's hands sooner or later!"

"It's only been two days since you got the Xueyu 'Shoushou Pill'. You have to cook the pill in the cloudy year and the moon and the sun."

"Where can I find so many young virgins with good looks in two days? I can only play with the ideas of the princess candidates!"

Li Zisheng glanced at the hourglass of the timer: "Okay. Four and a half hours later, the knife will be used to draw blood on time! Success or failure depends on this!"
