Datang: At the beginning, Princess Wencheng was robbed

Chapter 143 The Provider

Wei Yan was indeed right.

He was really busy, after separating from Li Er, Wei Yan went to find Li Zhi next.

Then, discuss with Li Zhi about preparing for the exchange meeting three days later.

Food and drink must be prepared.

There are also servants, slaves, etc. Li Zhi must also arrange them.

The words of the venue.

No matter what, we have to arrange a [-]-person venue.

Then if there are more people, probably they can only stand.

This was the first time that Wei Yan asked for something from him, so Li Zhi naturally agreed to everything.

Confidently said to Wei Yan: "Don't worry, Duke Ding, this prince will definitely let people arrange this matter properly."

"Speaking of... Duke Ding went to Luoyang for half a year this time. Did you hear any interesting news on the way?"

Wei Yan said straightforwardly: "No."

Li Zhi also wanted to pour tea for Wei Yan and chat slowly.

Wei Yan said quickly: "I won't drink tea, I'm still a little busy."

After saying that, he bowed to Li Zhi and left.

Li Zhi was stunned for a while.

I couldn't help but say to the people around me: "Don't Ding Guogong usually have nothing to do?"

However, the people around me are even less aware of it.

Because they are even more unfamiliar with Wei Yan.

……

After going to see Li Zhi.

soon……

Wei Yan then returned to his house.

Then I came to the Buddhist Department to check the situation.

Until I saw Wu Cai people arranging people to get everything done properly.

Wei Yan then crossed his hands, expressing his relief.

In addition...

The price list of railway transportation was also posted, and it was posted in the second city of East and West.

However, the Railway Transportation Toll Office, to be honest, is also a trouble.

"How about? Rent a small place in Dongxier City as an office?"

Wu Cairen's words reminded Wei Yan.

"This is good. I originally thought about making this whole street ours, but later I thought it would be unsafe with so many people coming and going."

The environment in the south of Chang'an City is actually very barren.

But because of this, Wei Yan liked it even more.

You said that in the future, anyone can lead a horse or a camel through here.

On the contrary, Wei Yan might still be a little unhappy.

after all……

It's noisy, how can it be peaceful?

Seeing that Wu Cairen has already considered it so properly.

Even he felt a little ashamed, so Wei Yan just went home to accompany the princess.

Before leaving, I would like to tell Wu Cairen that the Buddhist side can also do it.

this afternoon.

Dozens of hundreds of Buddhist temples in Chang'an City received a notice, asking people from each of their Buddhist temples to come and register at a specific time.

In fact...

This kind of thing has happened before, but it is usually made up once every three years, isn't it three years yet?Why do you have to register again?
Five days later.

The first batch of monks who came to register saw that they were asked to fill in a form.

As an individual monk, you should fill in your name, date of birth, gender, native place, position, relatives and friends.

As a Buddhist temple, it is necessary to fill in how many acres of land there are, and how many pure people and slaves are enslaved.

In addition...

It is also necessary to fill in whether there are other operations, such as: mansion shop, shop, stone mill, oil workshop, car workshop, etc.

This is simply investigating all the family background of their temple.

When the abbot of the Inspiration Temple who came first saw this, he realized that this stuff seemed a bit sensitive, because a normal person would know if he thought about it, would you tell others all the money you have in your family?
That's definitely not possible.

Then he asked the servant in charge, "I don't know why the Department of Buddhism asked me to fill in these things?"

The servant in charge also said: "Don't ask so many questions, just fill in whatever you are asked to fill in."

The abbot of the Inspiration Temple said: "The abbot can't fill in that."

The responsible chamberlain said: "Our Duke Ding has said, if you don't fill it out, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Duke Ding.

Naturally, Zhi Jue, the abbot of the Inspiration Temple, has heard of it.

In recent years, it has caused a lot of talk in Chang'an City.

Although the other party may not have much to do.

But every time something breaks out, it can shock people.

But there is no reason in this world to talk about one's own property.

Therefore, even after hearing what the other party said, Zhijue felt that he could not do this.

At this time, the waiter in charge asked again: "Is there anything else you don't want to fill in?"

A group of monks stopped when they saw that their host didn't even fill in the form.

"Okay, you didn't want to fill it out. When the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you."

After uttering the threats, he let everyone go.

in this way……

the next day.

It is almost the same for individual temples.

There are only some very small temples with no money at all, and the level of auspices is very limited, so all the information is registered and recorded.

because……

They don't have any stores or shops at all, let alone stone mills and oil mills.

So after more than ten days.

Wei Yan didn't bother them either.

Instead, he found someone to post his latest Buddhist temple management methods.

This method is too long, and many people read it and feel that it is extremely redundant.

Some people think that the things in it are too unrealistic. Do you think they will agree and be killed?
But there is a problem hidden here.

That is whether this management method has been officially certified by Datang.

Including some mentioned in it, if you do not come to report, and when it is found out that you have not reported your household registration with the Buddhist Department, it will be regarded as trying to evade taxes and corvee and be punished.

to be frank.

This management method looks quite scary.

The abbots of these temples are not stupid, and there are also some people below who are concerned about this. Therefore, the abbots of many temples either jointly or through their personal relationship with Datang officials to inquire about the legitimacy of this management method.

how to say.

When these officials close to Buddhism heard about this, they also felt a little confused.

Ding Guogong is definitely difficult for the strong.

But to be honest, for some things, he really didn't dare to promise these hosts.

He just said: "I remember that His Majesty left this matter to Duke Dingguo to handle. As for...you said whether to fill in the household registration information, how to punish it, I don't know."

After asking around, I even found out about Li Zhi.

Li Zhi hadn't read that management method, so naturally he didn't know.

but……

Li Zhi didn't think there was anything unreasonable about this management method.

This is the information registered here.

can only say……

Li Zhi is not easy to say.

He could only say to these hosts like this: "You have to ask Duke Ding about this."

Others asked to see His Majesty.

But Li Er was the one they wanted to see?
Don't worry if you let them dry for a few days.

It's August now.

According to the management method, the household registration of temples in Chang'an City will be closed on the first day of January in the 21st year of Zhenguan.

In other words, they only have three to four months left.

"Your Majesty! I want to meet Your Majesty!"

It took almost half a month through the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and these talents got a word from Li Er.

I saw Li Er saying: "I have promised Wei Yan that from now on, Buddhist affairs will be under his control and I will not interfere anymore. After that, if the household registration is really not registered, those who should be sentenced to exile will be sentenced to exile, and those who should be sent to guard the border will be punished." Go guard the border."

As soon as Li Er's words spread, everyone on the Buddhist side immediately felt in danger.

It even appeared that some monks persuaded them to preside over Wei Yan.

But they are used to living a good life, so how could they bow their heads to Wei Yan.

"He didn't dare to do that." Among them, Shanming, the abbot of Shanhua Temple, said conveniently.

"What if? What if Wei Yan once again destroys Buddha like Tuoba Tao, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty..."

"If that's the case, then my Buddha will definitely not bless him."

"If not... we all let our supporters put pressure on him?"

"How?"

"Just saying that he tried to rob the donor's donation money in vain is destroying the merit of the donor."
