Chapter 542

It's not just this one temple.

Qin Mu decided to tear down all the temples in all the prefectures and counties in the north!

This is a huge project.

The total number of monks in these temples adds up to hundreds of thousands!

Apart from the large number of people, the gold and silver jewelry in these temples must also be properly settled.

Qin Mu once asked Shen Wansan to calculate it.

If all the property in these temples were confiscated, it could equal the fiscal revenue of Great Tang for 5 years!

This is a quite remarkable amount.

Thus, it can be seen.

What a huge disaster these temples are!

Just right!

These temples will have to be torn down sooner or later; it's better to take advantage of this opportunity today to go to Jin Shan Temple and conduct a good inspection; perhaps we will encounter some fresh things.

And so.

The group arrived at Jin Shan Temple.

The lingering sounds were melodious, and the sounds of chanting were constant.

The vast Jin Shan Temple was golden and resplendent, with people coming and going, very lively.

Even though the dynasty had changed outside long ago, the inside of the temple didn't seem to have been affected at all.

"This Jin Shan Temple is truly worthy of its reputation!"

Wu Meiniang looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It is said that Jin Shan Temple is the number one temple in the world, with countless high-ranking monks inside, and various buildings with carved beams and painted rafters.

Now it seems that this is not a false statement!

"It is indeed not bad! But how much of the people's blood and sweat was used to build this Jin Shan Temple?"

Li Xueyan nodded, feeling very shocked in her heart.

She had practiced martial arts since she was young and never believed in any ghosts, gods, or Buddhist teachings, so naturally, she had never been to Jin Shan Temple.

But the temple before her eyes was indeed quite atmospheric, even Li Xueyan had to admit it.

It's just that.

She still had no good feelings for these temples.

Especially when Qin Mu explained why these temples were so wealthy, it made Li Xueyan feel even more indignant in her heart.

She had personally been on the battlefield and experienced all kinds of life and death separations.

Those soldiers who fought bloody battles were guarding the peace of the country.

Even if they experienced nine deaths and one life, perhaps they wouldn't get any special glory.

Even some people didn't have their names remembered after they died.

But these monks before her eyes only need to chant scriptures casually and brainwash others to get endless glory and wealth.

Li Xueyan felt very unbalanced in her heart.

Unfair!

It is truly too unfair!

"Sister, if you don't like it, then we will tear down this temple."

Princess Changle walked to Li Xueyan's side.

She also didn't like these monks, and liked Buddhist temples even less.

Full of benevolence and morality, but in their hearts, they are more greedy and hypocritical than anyone else!

"That's not necessary; after all, this temple also has a history of nearly a thousand years, and I don't know how much effort of craftsmen it took to have its current scale."

"I think my husband certainly wouldn't be willing to destroy such a beautiful work of art, right?"

Li Xueyan smiled and looked at Qin Mu.

"Those who know me are my wife."

Qin Mu smiled brightly.

Indeed.

Although this Jin Shan Temple is full of filth, the temple itself is not wrong, and the craftsmen who built the temple are even less wrong.

They spent countless efforts to build such a magnificent temple.

Qin Mu naturally wouldn't waste their efforts in vain.
