"Amitabha, don't need to send him off. If the Dao Alliance is seriously damaged today, Hua Wuji escapes far away, I'm afraid he will be disbanded soon. I will not be in danger on the way."

Luo Caiyi nodded and stood at the entrance of the inn.

This time the attack of the Heavenly Dao Alliance caused a considerable loss to the branch of the Holy Fire Sect, and it still needed some rest.

But all this is worth it. The threat of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is gone, and the Holy Fire Sect can develop without any scruples in Henan.

"Has that Chinese Little Ring left?"

"Yes, she is going back to the Songshan Sect to pack up some things. Miss Hua's pure Yin body is indeed difficult to heal. Since I have encountered it, I should try my best to relieve the suffering of others."

"You are kind."

"I am just adding some merits and blessings to myself. It doesn't matter whether I am kind or not."

Luo Caiyi didn't say anything, and Huo Yuanzhen was speechless for a while. Last night, Hua Wuji was injured and fleeing far away. The bloody light made everyone's hearts full of a big stone, but no one said it.

After a while, Huo Yuanzhen looked up at the flag at the entrance of the inn.

"After this battle, the rudder of the sergeant was greatly boosted. From then on, fish jumped over the dragon gate. I should have changed the name of this inn."

"How to change the meaning of the abbot?"

"If Long Pass is inappropriate, just call Longmen Inn."

Luo Caiyi muttered a few words and turned to the inn and said, "Come here, take this flag down for me. According to the abbot's wishes, from now on, this place will be called Longmen Inn."

*********************************

Huo Yuan was really fast, and on the way back, he caught up with the convoy transporting food.

The convoy set off from Luoyang and headed to Shaoshi Mountain. It has been more than two days now and can arrive at Shaoshi Mountain early tomorrow morning.

Huo Yuanzhen caught up with the grain transport fleet. He briefly checked the grain.

A full hundred cars are like a long dragon on the road.

In fact, this trip is not only expensive for food, but also for transportation. However, since the Demon Cult pays for it, Huo Yuanzhen doesn't care.

Huo Yuan really attaches great importance to these grains. If the war begins, it will be mostly spring. Then don’t think about preparing for farming in spring. At that time, grain will be seen as precious.

Although these 100 cars seem to be quite a lot, Huo Yuanzhen thinks that this is not enough, far from enough.

He personally escorted the batch of grain and returned to Shaoshi Mountain, and pulled it from the newly opened mountain road to the top of the mountain. The monks from Shaolin Temple came out to help.

One hundred trucks of grain were unloaded and piled up behind the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Yichen and others were not surprised to see Huo Yuanzhen come back, but were surprised to these foods.

"Abbot, with so much food, it may be difficult for our Shaolin to finish eating this winter."

The person who said this was Huiyi. The eighteen of them have now been recognized by people in Shaolin. They are capable and not bad. When they were working just now, they were also the main force.

Hearing Huiyi's words, Huo Yuanzhen looked back. These eighteen people, plus Huiniu's super glutton, were solemn. These people looked solemn, and looked at the pile of food, and seemed to feel that they had a heavy responsibility.

Huo Yuanzhen didn't care about these foodies who were very interested and asked all monks of the same generation to come to his abbot's courtyard.

Sitting in the hall, Huo Yuanzhen looked at everyone: "My junior brothers, do you have some questions?"

Yichen first said: "Some questions, but everyone has guessed a little bit of the abbot's thoughts."

"That's good. Now December is now in. There are still four months left in this winter. At that time, the war is likely to break out. At that time, everyone can imagine how many people will be poisoned by the war. We must take precautions for this matter, so I believe that these foods are far from enough."

Everyone nodded. If it was as Huo Yuanzhen said, then I'm afraid that no matter how much food I had, I would be able to eat.

"Junior Brother Yikong, how much money do we have in Shaolin still have?"

Yikong, the former senior brother, and now the junior brother, stood up and said, "Abbot, a few days ago, we still had nearly 200,000 taels of silver, but first we paid back the debts of the money house, and then we customized many bow and arrow weapons, then we bought horses, built mountain roads, and made clothes. We all came down, and we went out after tens of thousands of taels. Now we only had more than 30,000 taels."

Huo Yuanzhen nodded, "This money cannot be used as his own now, it is all used to purchase food. From tomorrow, all the monks in Shaolin will go down the mountain to contact the purchase of food. The war horses they purchased will be temporarily used to pull carts."

The monks nodded and agreed.

Huo Yuan really thought about it. These are not enough. I have to go to major money shops to borrow some silver and stock up as much as possible in case of emergency needs.

******************************

Huo Yuanzhen's loan operation went smoothly. Now Shaolin Temple is the largest sect within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the abbot of Yijie is like a Buddha in a family. No one thinks he will be owed.

Not to mention anything else, the daily incense money of Shaolin Temple is at least hundreds of taels. As the weather is good, and even receiving nearly a thousand taels of incense money per day is already a total temple.

Qian Delu of Luye Town lent 30,000 taels to Huo Yuanzhen, while Zhao Wuji from Dengfeng Money House generously supported him and lent Huo Yuanzhen 100,000 taels of silver at one time.

Even Zhao Wuji said that if the abbot Yijie still needs silver, even if he comes to find him, he can contact the shopkeepers of other money shops to meet the abbot.

Huo Yuanzhen expressed his gratitude for this, but now it seems that the money seems to be almost the same.

After the money was obtained, the Shaolin Temple's large-scale grain purchase action began.

The monks put their horses on their carts and wandered around major towns.

From the surrounding area of ​​Dengfeng County to Zhengzhou Prefecture, Shaolin disciples can be seen in almost every county town.

Every two monks took a monk and a cart pulled by a double horse. The monk was responsible for keeping accounts and managing money. The monk was responsible for transporting grain. After purchasing a cart, he immediately returned to Shaolin Temple.

The white horse drawn by Huo Yuanzhen in the system became the main force in the cart, and he was guarding the edge of Shaoshi Mountain. If any car could not get on the mountain, it would have to go over to support it.

If the system had a spirit and knew that the white horse that was released was the outcome, I would probably not let Huo Yuanzhen draw it out no matter what.

The main targets of these monks are not ordinary people, but grain merchants or wealthy families.

At this time, all kinds of grains were piled up in the granaries of those wealthy households, and many people hoped to turn grain into silver. The emergence of Shaolin was just the right time.

Even at a landlord's home, he bought thirty cargoes of rice at a bargain price at one time, which was overjoyed.

The acquisition plan went smoothly. Except for some more discerning merchants who refused to sell the excess grain, the rest of the people were willing to sell it.

On the first day, more than 80 trucks of food were transported back to Shaoshishan.

On the next day, seventy-five trucks of food were transported back again.

On the third day of purchasing grain, a small peak finally came. More than 140 trucks of grain were transported back after consuming countless silver taels.

Behind Huo Yuanzhen's abbot's courtyard, a huge temporary granary was built, with a radius of 100 meters, all surrounded by trees and straw mats on it.

Looking at the huge granary, it was also being filled little by little.

The acquisition was on the ninth day, and the speed slowed down a little.

At the beginning, all the purchased grains were purchased. Seeing that they had already purchased them almost now, Huo Yuanzhen changed to collect grains. It was winter now, so there was no need to worry about the grains being broken, as long as they could eat them.

The little silver left was spent like flowing water.

By the time Huo Yuan really spent more than 100,000 taels of silver, it was already mid-December.

There are many different opinions about Shaolin's action to purchase grain.

Many people find it strange that it is the winter free time, and many people have surplus grain at home, but most of the grain is concentrated in the hands of grain merchants, so the price will definitely not be low. However, Shaolin Temple chose to buy grain at this time, which made people think a lot.

The most people say that Shaolin Temple is planning to speculate and now it is a big acquisition and will sell it tomorrow during the spring and summer.

However, this statement is a bit untenable. Now most people still have some surplus grain in their hands, which is enough to persist until tomorrow's harvest season in Xiaochun. If Shaolin plans to resell grain, there will definitely be no market.

Unless the food is sold outside the border or in the grassland area, the transportation cost may be greater than the value of the food itself.

Some people also say that Shaolin plans to recruit disciples in a large scale, fearing that there is not enough food.

However, no one paid attention to this statement. Can we still form a legion if we recruit disciples?

Some smart people also realize that Shaolin did this because he was worried that the war would break out without food.

But if the war really breaks out and the victims are everywhere, and Shaolin has hoarded so much food, aren't you afraid of being plundered by those victims?

Of course, there are some Buddhist believers who believe that the Abbot Yijie did this to save the people of the world. These foods must be used for relief in the end, but they don’t know who to help them yet.

Most people don’t believe the last statement. After all, Shaolin Temple is now borrowing heavily and has high debts. Can it still help others at this time?

No matter how legends were outside, Huo Yuanzhen still did his own thing. He knew that one day he would report it, and when Shaolin only had more than 110 taels of silver left, he chose to stop.

For more than half a month, thousands of trucks of grain have been purchased, and now that large warehouse is full.

The monks were arranged to take turns to guard the food. There was no sign of these foods now, and they would be of great use in spring.

Huiniu and others, who are responsible for eating all this food, have given up now. If these foods were not burned with fire, they would probably not be eaten up in their entire lives. (To be continued)
