    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Wang Chonggu has been quite annoying recently. As the magistrate of Songjiang, he is under a lot of pressure, insomnia, anorexia, and anxiety. Even his wife made him three whip wine, which shows that even something has been affected.

    The source of his troubles is nothing more than the food problem.  Driven by the Suzhou government, the price of food in Songjiang has been soaring all the way, and it has reached an appalling level. He doesn't have Hai Rui's strong man who can control the situation. Naturally, the city is in chaos. There are many hoarders and robbers.  Countless, the prison is overcrowded, but the law and order has not improved.

    What's more serious is that Songjiang is still the front line against the Japanese pirates. The shortage of food has made the morale of the army unstable.  I'm afraid it's not an opponent at all.

    Seeing that her husband was full of worries and helpless, Mrs. Wang, who had never believed in gods and Buddhas, also set up an incense table in the mansion, worshiped the Buddha every day, and prayed sincerely that the Japanese pirates would not come.

    After dinner that day, I saw my wife offering incense again. Wang Chonggu was having fun in his bitterness. He laughed at her and said, "I have accepted Madam's wishes, but now our Ming Dynasty is under the Taoist world. If there is Tao, it is better to be in charge of the county magistrate. We should worship three times."  clean it."

    His wife disagreed and said: "People say that family cultivators are too selfless. This is not false at all. If you don't believe me, look at our current sage, who has cultivated so much that he can't even see his own son. Based on this, Sanqing may  It's even less human, and you can't count on it." He said to the Tathagata Buddha: "It's better to be in the West, because it has a human flavor."

    "The monk is the one with pure six senses, no matter what the dust is." Wang Chonggu said with a laugh: "Do not keep hair, do not marry a wife, do not have children, cut off the rules and regulations, and jump out of the five elements, what is there to say?"

    "You can't say that," Mrs. Wang said, "I've been listening to 'Journey to the West' for a year, and only then did I know that this Buddhist holy place in the Western Paradise is just like your yamen"

    Wang Chonggu became interested now, and asked with a smile: "I want to hear about the holy land of Buddhism, can it be the same as my salty yamen?" Chatting after dinner is just a good way to relax.

    "Don't you believe it." Mrs. Wang plausibly said: "There is a discount called 'Wuji Kingdom', which means that King Wuji used to be good at fasting monks, so the Buddha sent Manjushri to save him to bliss. Manjusri is very jealous and doesn't want to  Seeing that others are good, I deliberately turned into an ordinary monk to ask the king for alms."

    "You woman make up nonsense," Wang Chonggu said with a chuckle, "How can someone easily show the real body of a Bodhisattva to others, so why is it related to jealousy?" He doesn't like to watch plays, so he doesn't know these plots.

    "Why isn't it jealous?" Mrs. Wang said, "Even if we can't meet each other, just tell the king nicely, but he wants to speak ill at each other and make things difficult for the black chicken king. The king didn't know he was a Bodhisattva, so he killed the king in a fit of anger.  He tied it up and sent him to the river, where he was immersed for three days and three nights."

    Hearing what she said, Wang Chonggu nodded and said: "This king is still too benevolent. If it was in our Ming Dynasty, he would have given a hundred court staff and issued three thousand miles." He said with a smile: "This drama is flawed.  How could Manjusri Bodhisattva be captured by ordinary people and submerged in water with so much power?"

    "This is exactly where his insidiousness lies. Three days later, the king let him go, and he went back and cried to the Tathagata, slandering the king for blasphemy against the Buddha, and even dared to bully him as a messenger. The Tathagata pushed the king down the well and soaked  For three years, to repay Manjusri's hatred for the three-day flood." Mrs. Wang said angrily: "That Manjusri was not satisfied, and turned his mount into a fake king, sleeping and rising with the harem every day, although later  Calling that animal a gelding, no blessing to bear it. But this act also breaks the ethics of the law, and it is extremely abominable!"

    After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang concluded: "It's not like the filthy officials in the yamen, who do all kinds of bad things under the guise of the master, take money, bully men and women, and even kill people at every turn, but let people pay for it."  Count it on the master?"

    "Well, what you said is reasonable." Wang Chonggu couldn't help laughing and said: "But it doesn't mean that the Buddha is also a layman. After all, the people below deceived him and did it behind his back."

    "Well, let me give you an example of the Buddha." Mrs. Wang seemed to want to convince her husband completely, and said, "After listening to the last episode a few days ago, the Tang monk and his disciples went through hardships and finally arrived in the West Paradise and met the Tathagata.  Knowing the 'rules', I didn't give any 'personnel' to the 'book office' who were in charge of the scriptures, but they were given blank scriptures. If it weren't for the benevolent elders who couldn't see it and pointed it out secretly, the four masters and apprentices had worked hard  , isn¡¯t it in vain.¡±

    "Let's file a complaint with the Buddha and punish those two book offices!" Wang Chonggu said angrily.

    "I searched for it, but the Buddha didn't punish those two book offices." Mrs. Wang said with a look of disbelief.

    "for?Shanxi has also formed a group of rich Jin families. They train their children to study, combine government and business, and further consolidate their status. In recent years, almost all the salt merchants in Yangzhou are from Shanxi.  It can be done only by commercial means, and Shanxi merchants rely on the scholars they have cultivated themselves.

    Over the years, officials from the Shanxi Merchant Gang have taken root deeply in the court, flourishing and fighting the world together!  For example, the old one is Yang Bo, Minister of the Ministry of War, the middle-aged one is Wang Chonggu, and the young one is Zhang Siwei. The combination of the old, middle and young generations, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

    What makes Shen Mo more interested is that this group of people is very low-key, unobtrusive, and remains neutral in almost all disputes, as if the purpose of their existence is to safeguard the interests of the ever-growing Shanxi Merchants Group

    What kind of interests can make these "noble" officials willing to serve businessmen who smell of copper?

    Ruohan, who is well versed in this way, has done some calculations for Shen Mo She doesn't know the area to the west, but she only talks about Yangzhou in front of her. The capital of Shanxi salt merchants is 30 million taels, and the annual profit is 9 million taels.  One million taels of these profits are used for taxation; about three million taels are donated to monks, monks, monks, monks, monks and beggars, construction of bridges and buildings, donations for education, and dredging and management Of course, this is not brainwashing, but  They are shrewd Shanxi businessmen who understand the principle that a big tree attracts wind and a lot of money attracts people's envy. They spend this huge sum of money on a regular basis.  Then make friends with officials from top to bottom through bribery. With the three-pronged approach, the position is extremely stable and no one can shake it.

    And even if it costs three million taels a year, there is still a net profit of five million taels - just one Yangzhou, and the net income of a group of Shanxi salt merchants is equivalent to the annual income of the Ming Dynasty!  If you add the Shanxi merchants stationed in Xuanda and Zhangjiakou, what is their total annual profit?

    Ruohan said that it should be no less than seven million taels.

    Please note that it is every year.

    It is not difficult to understand why Wang Chonggu's interests are very different from those of his colleagues¡ª¡ª
