Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

"Brother Yang Zhuo, with your supernatural powers, is there a way for people to prolong their life?" Li Shimin leaned over, looked at Yang Zhuo and said.

Those eyes are like looking for a savior!
Yang Zhuo was holding a folding fan and tapping on the bamboo chair, looking very leisurely.

"Old Li! Don't worry, you know me. It is definitely the luckiest thing in your life. When you become terminally ill one day, I will rescue you and snatch you back from Lord Hades." Yang Zhuo smiled on the road.

Hearing Yang Zhuo's words, Li Shimin was instantly touched!

"Brother Yang Zhuo! You are so kind to me, Old Li!" Li Shimin said emotionally, holding Yang Zhuo's hand tightly.

Yang Zhuo shook off Li Shimin's hand in disgust, and said, "Why do you always owe me money? I can't let you die, or my money will be wasted."

Li Shimin: Puff!Puff!
"By the way, brother Yang Zhuo, since the emperor listened to your analysis of Buddhism, he is ready to attack Buddhism! What do you think the emperor should do to get rid of that bald donkey?" Li Shimin said sideways.

Yang Zhuo smiled and looked at Li Shimin.

"Old Li! It can be seen that you don't like monks either!"

Li Shimin: None!It's because I owe you a lot of money, so I went crazy thinking about money, and then I wanted to get some money from the bald donkey!
"I don't like it. To be honest, I also hope that the imperial court can rectify the Buddhist temple!" Li Shimin said.

Yang Zhuo smiled and said, "It's not difficult to rectify the Buddhist temple."

"Did you do this?" Li Shimin asked with a click gesture.

"Hand up the knife and drop it, everything will be wiped out! Not a single place will be left!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, of course not, that would be too bloody, and the resistance would be very high!" Yang Zhuo shook his head.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and looked at Yang Zhuo: "How to deal with that?"

He was born in the army, and all he could think of was such a simple and rude method!

"First of all, the treatment of Buddhist temples can be done step by step! Don't ban them all across the board, which will easily cause public grievances! It can be done like this. First, each county can keep one temple and one nunnery; and then after a while, limit it. Nunnery; in the future, only one temple and one nunnery can be reserved in large states, so that the people will gradually get used to it, and it will not cause public resentment!"

Li Shimin applauded!
"Wonderful! Brother Yang Zhuo, you really are resourceful!"

Yang Zhuo smiled. In the era he lived in, policies were implemented step by step. Everyone gradually got used to it, so they took it for granted and accepted it!

A one-size-fits-all policy will generally cause public resentment!So it's not feasible!

"Also, besides attacking Buddhist temples, this Li Er can also attack monks and nuns!" Yang Zhuo said with a smile.

Li Shimin rubbed his hands: "How do you do it?!"

"Every change remains true! Strengthen the management of monks and nuns! The reason why the Buddhist Temple of the Tang Dynasty is so prosperous is that it is difficult to control, because it has no control over the monks and nuns!" Yang Zhuo said.

Li Shimin nodded, deeply agreeing!
"Yes! Monks and nuns do not pay taxes or perform military service. In the Tang Dynasty, there is no restriction!"

"So! The number of Buddhist temples has been reduced, and then the management of monks and nuns must be strengthened!" After Yang Zhuo finished speaking, he stretched his waist and continued.

"How to control?" Li Shimin looked at Yang Zhuo eagerly.

"Simple!" Yang Zhuo smiled, "Restrict each temple, only monks or nuns, 20 people! Exceeding the number, they will be reduced! The rest of the monks and nuns will be driven out of the temple and return to vulgar life! Those who are willing to marry, then Settle down on the spot, and those who don’t want to marry will be exiled to the frontier to reclaim land for the country! Let them all become taxpayers!!”

"Then there are regulations on the land of Buddhist temples! Buddhist temples are allowed to own a certain area of ​​land, and the rest will be taken over by the imperial court! The land owned by Buddhist temples can be used as they like! Whether it is expanded or cultivated, there is only so much. If it exceeds the area, it will be confiscated first. Another fine! In addition, it must be stipulated that Buddhist temples are not allowed to have tenants!!"

"In addition to these, there is also an assessment and selection of monks! Not everyone can do this monk! Otherwise, the quality is too low, the quality is too bad, and it is not good! Just give them a test paper, the content is Dharma, and those who pass the test, Issue monk certificates! Unqualified ones will all return to vulgarity!"

"Besides, the imperial court has to charge for this monk's certificate! One certificate has ten passes! It is changed every year! If you like it, you can make it up if you lose it, but you have to pay for it! Reissue is charged five passes! Do you want to make it up or not!"

"Also, it is stipulated that monks are not required to perform military service or corvee service, but they must pay taxes! If you don't pay, you will return to the vulgar! Do what you like!"

Yang Zhuo leisurely told Li Shimin about his strategy.

This stratagem was advanced layer by layer, which stunned Li Shimin for a moment!

As expected of Yang Zhuo!
Three sentences don't leave money!

They always say that I am a profiteer!What the hell, no one can rape you!

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"I didn't expect that monks could actually make money! That's great! Just this monk's certificate of income from the court every year has to be worth [-] yuan!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said with emotion.

Li Shimin was startled, turned his head hastily, and saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui holding calculators, flattering them.

"When did you come here?!" Li Shimin was afraid that they would hear something they shouldn't have heard!

"It's from when Brother Yang Zhuo said how to deal with the monk."

Only then did Li Shimin feel relieved, it's okay, okay!

"Brother Yang Zhuo, it seems that Li Er suddenly attacked the Buddhist temple for no reason! Will it cause dissatisfaction among the ministers?" Li Shimin looked at Yang Zhuo and asked.

Yang Zhuo shook his head, and said with a smile: "Li Er, he is not a real person, but he has a good brain! He can think of a way!"

Li Shimin: Am I scolded or praised? !

He ordered Zhangsun Wuji to find some excuses, but he was still afraid that the court ministers would object.

"As far as I know, many ministers of the court believe in Buddhism, and they probably will strongly oppose it. This time, the emperor will probably have difficulty in rectifying Buddhist temples!" Li Shimin said while looking at Yang Zhuo.

Yang Zhuo smiled and said: "That's right, ministers of the court, their wives like to go to Buddhist temples, so they will naturally blow pillows, but if they know what their wives are doing in the temple, they probably won't object !"

Li Shimin:? ? ?

"What do you mean?"

Yang Zhuo smiled, and said: "This Chang'an City, known as the Jincheng Temple, is the most famous Qiuzi Temple!!"

Li Shimin nodded in bewilderment: "Yes! It is said that there is a Guanyin who sends a child! As long as you are sincere, the woman asks, and you can get pregnant when you go back! Is... what's wrong?"

Yang Zhuo looked at Li Shimin with a smile, and said: "The monks there are also very powerful. They are good at living and skilled, and they can hit every shot. How can women not like it?"

Yang Zhuo also saw it when he read the unofficial history by accident in his time, and later checked it on the spot, and it really is!

Li Shimin:! ! !

Fang Xuanling: God!Understand in seconds!

Du Ruhui: Go back and check!

……

Palace, court.

Another quarterly summary, Li Shimin propped his forehead with his hands, listening to the ministers report on their work.

After half a day, he finally finished reporting one by one. He looked down and saw that the timing was almost up.

"Does Aiqing have anything to play?" Li Shimin looked down.

Everyone kept quiet. After listening to the report all morning, they all wanted to retreat to get off work quickly!
"I have something to play!" Changsun Wuji came out and said.

Li Shimin had colluded with Changsun Wuji in advance!
Now, I know, the fun has begun!Pull yourself together now!

"Wuji! What is it?"

"Your Majesty, I received a report that yesterday, in Chang'an City, monks gathered to make trouble!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who went to Yang Zhuona with Li Shimin before, heard speeches related to Buddhism!
As soon as he heard Changsun Wuji's words, he immediately knew that Li Shimin must have asked Changsun Wuji to do this!
Buddhism is going to be cold!
"Your Majesty, I also heard that this monk gathered a crowd to make trouble in Chang'an City!" Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, no matter whether he heard it or not, as long as Li Shimin wants to have it, then he will have it!

"I have heard for a long time that there are monks gathering to make troubles in various parts of the Tang Dynasty! Moreover, in recent years, it has become more and more frequent!"

Du Ruhui added fuel and vinegar.

Changsun Wuji secretly cried out in his heart!
This Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui already knew about it!

"Your Majesty! I think this Buddhism is developing too fast now! It's time to rectify them! The Buddha should be exterminated!"

Changsun Wuji leaned over and said.

As soon as this was said, the ministers below immediately started talking about it!The whole court is boiling up!
"Rectify Buddhism, destroy Buddha!? It's not necessary!"

"This Buddhist monk, doing his own thing, doesn't hinder you! Why do you use a knife on them?!"

"How many people in the Tang Dynasty believe in Buddhism! If the Buddha is destroyed, it will cause public resentment!"

"That's right! It's not right! It's completely unnecessary!"

"My lord grandson! What is your intention! That's how it is!"

Ministers strongly objected.

Among the ministers who strongly opposed it, many believe in Buddhism!
They will regularly go to worship Buddha and offer incense!Pray for prosperous official luck!
Therefore, when it comes to destroying Buddha, it is not to cut off his official fortune!How can that work!
Moreover, there are some people who not only believe in Buddhism, but most of his family also uphold Buddhist scriptures.

If the Buddha is really destroyed, is there still a way for the monks to survive?
"Is the bald donkey your father? Protecting them like this?" Cheng Yaojin snorted.

Those ministers who defended the monk were so angry that they blew their beards and stared!
"Cheng Mangfu! How can you be so impolite! Such foul language! It's insulting!"

"that is!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "Don't talk too much! Listen to what the emperor has to say!"

Li Shimin saw that the ministers below were arguing in a mess, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

That's what I want you to do!
"The monk is so arrogant?!"

Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Go back to the emperor! Today in the Tang Dynasty, there are more than 17 temples! There are more than [-] monks' houses! There are more than [-] monks and nuns!"

"There are so many people! It's unprecedented! It's really a big force! If they make trouble and rebel, this is a threat!"

When Changsun Wuji said this, the ministers below were stunned!
There are so many Buddhist temples?There are more than [-] monks and nuns? !
This number is too big!
