Chapter 65: Blocking the Network
"As of Youshi, the branches in various counties of Yunzhou have received a total of 588,000 points, totaling 5,880 incense sticks."
Taoist Gu took a deep breath and announced loudly.
As the voice fell, there was a moment of dead silence in the meeting room, and then the sound of rapid breathing became intertwined like rain.
"Six thousand incense sticks, so many?"
"Junior Brother Gu, are you sure? Is this a day's worth of incense?"
The Taoists at Liuyun Temple were so excited that they could hardly believe their ears.
The amount of this incense donation was far beyond their imagination.
You should know that the annual incense tribute in Yong County is only 260,000 pillars.
Right now they have nearly 6,000 incense sticks a day. According to this trend, the income in one and a half months is enough to rival the income of an entire county. This is simply unimaginable for Liuyun Temple!
In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
The income from incense offerings of sects all over the world is completely limited by the surrounding population density.
The maximum radiation range is only about one hundred miles.
Therefore, it is densely populated with people.
How many incense sticks can there be?
The Internet is different. It can cover even the most remote places. After a long period of time, there will be a sudden burst of exchange, which is naturally very shocking.
"Don't be too optimistic. The villagers have accumulated a lot of money over the past few months, so naturally there will be more incense. I estimate that in ten days or half a month, the income from incense will drop significantly."
Taoist Gu seemed very calm.
"That's quite a lot."
"There are 6,000 pillars in one day, 60,000 pillars in ten days, and even if only one tenth is left, it is still very impressive!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Don't forget, everyone. This is just Yunzhou. What if we look at Shuntian Prefecture, or even the whole world?"
For a moment, discussions arose in the room. How could the Taoists still look like immortals?
He has turned into a mercenary businessman, and his abacus beads are clacking in his mind.
"My fellow brothers and sisters, the bank is in a big trouble right now, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for help."
Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Taoist Gu suddenly bowed and spoke to all directions.
"Big trouble?! What happened at the bank?"
The Taoists looked solemn upon hearing this, and many of them even had murderous intent in their eyes.
When interests are at stake, kill gods if they stand in the way, and kill Buddhas if they stand in the way.
"The bank is running out of fine grain. We must collect more fine grain as soon as possible to prevent the disaster from happening." Gu Dao Ren looked helpless.
"Ok?"
The Taoist priests all looked strange: "I remember that I transferred a thousand stones of fine grain before?"
"According to the current trend, this 1,000 dan of fine grain is enough to sustain for five days. I have also sent disciples to collect fine grain at the Wazi market."
"But don't forget, everyone. This is only the first day. Many of our disciples are new to bank work. After two days, when they become more familiar with the job, the food consumption will be even faster! And I have heard rumors that some people are hoarding fine grain at high prices."
A look of worry appeared on Taoist Gu's face.
When it comes to interests, people are unpredictable. Once the bank fails to supply food, the goodwill that has not yet been accumulated will be destroyed, which is a loss that Liuyun Temple cannot afford.
You must know that this is a big test, and the key is to maintain a steady pace in the future.
"Don't panic. The Internet is only spreading in Shuntian Prefecture right now. It's rarely circulated outside the prefecture. We'll just go around and buy as much as we can."
"This will help you."
"Purchasing is not a long-term solution after all. The ten thousand acres of fertile land outside the temple must be cultivated as soon as possible! Senior Brother Sha, I remember that you have learned a technique to bring back dead trees to life. I wonder if it can be used in this winter?"
"Three or five mu of thin land is easy, but I have never tried ten thousand mu of good land. I will try it out later."
"..."
Under the temptation of incense, the Taoists in Liuyun Temple were united as one, offering suggestions and advice one after another.
It was not until the early morning of the morning that the deacons hurriedly left with their respective tasks.
The room fell silent.
Only a few core figures are left, including the temple master, the high priest, the scripture preacher, etc.
"We have 6,000 incense sticks a day, and I think other banks are not much lower. A glimpse of the whole picture, no wonder Gu Bogong can catch the eye of Emperor Qingxu, the prosperity of his incense is beyond imagination. With such neighbors, it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster!"
The head of Liuyun Temple was filled with emotion. He looked at Gao Gong and said, "Junior Brother Song, we must know the movements of Tianan Temple. I would like to ask you to pay attention to this matter."
Gao Gong nodded slightly: "Junior brother understands."...
……
Inside the Yong County City God Palace and the Patrol Office, a banquet was in full swing.
Li Sigong, the director of the Yin-Yang Department, sat in the main seat, drinking one cup after another, and seemed to be in a very bad mood.
The patrol officer was standing by with a wry smile on his face.
Does he know why Li Sigong is so depressed?
Anyone would be upset if the goose that lays golden eggs flies away.
Especially when I look at the major banks in Yong County today, which are frantically purchasing points, I can’t tell you how depressed I feel.
"He Shigong, you said that the contract was written in black and white, how can you just deny it?"
Li Sigong couldn't help but complain.
"Li Sigong, you've drunk too much. Be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"
The patrol officer's eyelids twitched and he thought, you are still complaining? Does other people's praying to the gods have anything to do with you?
It's already very good to give you dividends for a few months for free.
However, when the inspector thought about the shares he had lost, he felt heartbroken.
——Emperor Qingxu is really something. If he wants shares, then he wants shares. But can he at least leave some for us?
"I didn't drink too much!"
Li Sigong muttered something, as if under the influence of alcohol:
"Mr. He, you have the best relationship with Mr. Gu. Since we have lost our shares, do you think it is possible to get an online banking license?"
The inspector's heart was immediately moved when he heard this.
Having seen the ability of online banking to handle incense, he has already clearly realized how valuable this thing is?
If you can get one, you can find any sect and use the business license to buy shares, and you will have a steady stream of offerings.
"I'm afraid this... won't work?"
"Why not? He took our shares away for nothing, so it's only natural that he should compensate us with a business license! What's more, this thing can be solved with just a word from him. At worst, he can just offer me the position of Yin Yang Division."
Li Sigong said drunkenly.
"Yin Yang Division? Is this what the county lord meant?"
The patrol officer froze, and after a while he asked tentatively.
Li Sigong said nothing and just stared at the inspector.
Upon seeing this, the inspector heaved a long sigh in his heart, knowing that he had to leave this time.
"Well, since Lord Li has said so, I will risk my life to accompany you and venture into this dangerous place."
"What a great justice!"
Li Sigong praised, earning a slightly bitter smile from the inspector.
After a brief discussion, the two decided that it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day. So they canceled the banquet, left the City God Palace, and headed towards Tian'an Village.
Along the way, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the underworld, which was extremely desolate in the past, was actually a bit lively. I could always encounter some ghosts wandering in the wilderness along the way.
When they arrived in front of the underground palace of Tian'an Land God Temple, the two men straightened their official robes and were about to pay a visit, when suddenly their expressions changed drastically and they looked up at the sky in horror.
Above the gloomy underworld, a brilliant light burst out as if there was a leak in the sky.
There were countless immortal officials, stepping on auspicious clouds, descending from the sky in the rays of light.
"Tian'an land master Gu Yunli, please listen to the announcement!"
A loud announcement was made, like the Tongshan Mountain leaning westward and the Luozhong Bell responding eastward, causing echoes in the underworld and startling countless ghosts.
"Weak ministers listen to orders."
A figure suddenly rushed out from the Tianan underground palace. It was none other than Gu Bogong, the lord of the Internet.
"The Land Official's Order:"
"In the palace of the Northern Capital, in Xuandu Yuanyang, the thirty-six departments and ninety million people are investigating the universe and recording the lands of the ten directions."
"Gu Yunli, the land god of Tian'an, Yong County, Yunzhou, Shuntian Prefecture, has cultivated and achieved the Tao, and has completed his work. He blesses all living beings, and his sincerity is appreciated by all. I have specially conferred him the title of True Lord of the Internet Realm, blessing all living beings and saving them from suffering."
"——The Seven Qi of Zhongyuan, the Earth Official who pardons sins, the Great Emperor Qingxu, the Emperor Qingling, and the Heavenly Lord of Equality and Benevolence!"
