Chapter 420 Zhao Pu is here

"Amitabha, please speak, and do your best to go through fire and water."

"First of all, since the Buddhists cooperate with our Salt and Iron Department and are willing to donate copper Buddhas, it's better to just go. From now on, there will be no copper reserves in temples all over the world, and all Buddha statues will be muddy."

"this……"

Sun Yue interrupted, "Masters, it's what you said yourself. The Buddha is in your heart, not in the bronze statue. In fact, after all, the bronze Buddha is just a means of saving money. Now that you have a money house, it's not safer than putting it in a whole pile in a temple? Buddhism advocates not to fight, so why are you repeatedly suspicious of the monarch, and even destroying the Buddha?"

"Amitabha, my little husband said this very well, I think it's OK."

"Second, the current national religion in the Song Dynasty is Taoism. How can you fight or not? It has nothing to do with us father and son, nor has it to do with the Yantishu. Whoever involves us, don't blame us for being polite."

"good."

Sun Chunming took over the conversation and said, "Apart from that... I don't hide it from you. In the future, the money bank will definitely have to lend money. However, the money bank will definitely lend money, commercially used, with at least one hundred silver coins as a base. It actually has no conflict with your Buddhism. But do you lend money... It's OK, but the interest must not be higher than the money bank's interest, otherwise it will probably not be able to lend money. The Salt and Iron Co., Ltd. can provide some convenience."

The monks were overjoyed. They paid so much, wasn’t it just for this promise? As long as they were allowed to lend and give them convenience, it would be a glimmer of hope, so they all expressed their gratitude to Amitabha Buddha.

Sun Chunming was actually helpless about this. Since he was so sincere, what could he do? He wanted to kill all the bad loans among the people with one blow, but he didn't have the strength.

Even to put it objectively, it may not be a good thing for the world if these monks are truly destroyed. When people look at history, they will inevitably fall into modern ideas. Buddhism’s loan shark has become one of the biggest evil deeds of Buddhism. However, the two of them have been traveling for more than ten years, and some things have long been no longer taken so for granted.

Buddhism, no matter which dynasty or era, will always face the poor people at the bottom of society. The upper elites believe in this set of things, but Taoism is the mainstream. Ultimate loan sharks should be for profit, but if those lower-level people don’t really cannot survive, who would borrow usury?

If you don’t borrow from Buddhism, you have to borrow from other landlords and bullies. Buddhism can eat people and even vomits two bones. Those landlords really swallow their bones. Otherwise, would you be stupid to be a commoner?

Although Sun Chunming can provide agricultural loans to the people at an extremely low interest rate or even interest-free interest, isn’t all policies tested and implemented? What kind of virtue is the clerks in the Song Dynasty? The father and son are too clear. It’s okay in big cities, but they really have to go deep into the countryside...

Haha, maybe it will become Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law. Although the Qingmiao Law is a good rule for the country, Wang Anshi was despised by the people at that time, but Sima Guang's family was born in a Buddha. You cannot ignore the skinnyness of reality just because of the fullness of your ideals. To be honest, monks still have some shame than most clerks.

This matter involves currency and religion, so of course it is a big deal, so Sun Chunming insisted on pulling Sun Yue to serve as a counselor for him. Because he had a short plan, he also wanted someone around him to discuss it. Unfortunately, Sun Yue is really becoming more and more impatient now. He grasps the general direction and doesn't want to care about the specific matters anymore.

So Sun Yue escaped irresponsibly. Sun Chunming had no choice but to put the work tasks on Han Derang's shoulders. If the Military Commission hadn't really been ruthless, he wanted to escape. Sun Yue even thought with extreme urgency that if Sun Chunming married a wife and killed the person, he could have been filial to the fullest for a year.

His state, in Sun Chunming's words, is that the rebellious period has arrived. Who knows that a middle-aged man with a mental age in his forties has such a thing as puberty, but he is rebellious. What can you do?

So life was so watery and it took another half a year. In the past six months, Sun Chunming had achieved remarkable results. The money house was initially completed, and silver coins had replaced copper coins in bulk trade in a small area of ​​the Central Plains. Chu Zhaofu, the three envoys, were really squeezed by him. Zhao Guangmei also accumulated a lot of local forces through the construction of the canal. The voice of the King of Yan in the court became louder and louder, and Luoyang's development was even more prosperous. Sun Yue's Military Commission...

Actually, I did a good job and I specially opened a workshop for women. The results of the union are obvious to all. I have been rising steadily, but I can't grasp this control, and I feel a bit like a mess.

Until... Zhao Pu came over.

For some reason, Zhao Pu, who was below one person and above ten thousand people, was kicked out of the center and shocked the chin all over the floor. Although he had been cutting off his wings for half a year, it was still a bit unacceptable to the sudden sudden move, and Zhao Pu did not even have any movement of resistance.

What is even more unacceptable is that after this guy got off the position of prime minister, he was not given a free time, but a terrible Quan Zhihe-Nanfu. What was Zhao Kuangyin doing?

This was definitely a political mobilization of a major earthquake. From then on, Zhao Guangyi's family was dominant, and there was no one in the court who could control him. But at the same time, the one who took over Zhao Pu was His Highness Zhao Dezhao, and the so-called "princeling party" had already appeared in the court.

However, power is not just about putting people in a suitable position, especially in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Even the emperor was robbed by the emperor himself, so why didn’t the prime minister need it? People with abilities, such as Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi, and Sun Chunming, do much more than their power. Zhao Dezhao, after all, is just a young man in his early twenties, and is not particularly talented. There is no such a sensible person like Sun Yue who is determined to help him.

So in fact, the person who is in charge of the Political Affairs Hall is Xue Juzheng, and Zhao Dezhao is more like a mascot. To be honest, it means that he cannot help. The so-called power of the princeling party is a bit far worse than that of Zhao Pu. If you want to compete with his second uncle, you will not be able to support it within a few years.

However, after doing this, Zhao Guangmei's power increased greatly. Zhao Pu, who was demoted to Quanzhihe-Nanfu, naturally became his ally. As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. A person like Zhao Pu is white. Who dares to underestimate him? What's more, he has an official position.

So for a time, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty changed from a dispute between the two Zhaos to a dispute between the kings of Jin and Yan. At first glance, it really seemed to be quite similar, and the core of the debate was naturally to move the capital.

To be honest, the great god Zhao Pu came to Luoyang in person, and the Sun family was mixed. This was a double-edged sword, hurting others and oneself. How to use it was a little difficult for a while, but who would have thought that Sun Yue, who had been troubled by the case, would throw out the work of the Military Commission in the name of his master and apprentice.

And Zhao Pu accepted it happily.
