Opening Pirate Clips: Fifteen Shocking Famous Scenes

Chapter 314

Li Longji heard the words and snorted coldly: "Don't you bully me and don't understand military affairs? Song Taizu!"

Li Shimin didn't dare to hate him, but Zhao Kuangyin was fine.

Zhao Kuangyin: ...

It was Li Shimin who said it, so why is he the one responsible.

It's outrageous!

[Economically, in order to increase fiscal revenue, combat land mergers, and curb tyrannical powers, Xuanzong ordered the inspection of land and households]

[Appoint Yu Wenrong as an envoy to overturn the land and persuade farmers, and set up ten envoys and judges to persuade farmers to assign local inspections of concealed land, confiscate all found land after inspection, and distribute it to farmers for cultivation, and register and create households for concealed farmers 】

[After some governance, the fiscal revenue has been increased, the state's control over the land has been strengthened, the pressure on farmers' survival has been eased, and the country's economic prosperity has been promoted. 】

[In the 13th year of Tianbao, the number of households reached 150.The prosperity of the account is beyond this]

"More than 900 million households!!!"

"It's amazing. Considering my hard work, there are only more than 200 million households!"

Li Shimin said with admiration and envy.

he didn't know...

After his death, Tang Yonghui three years, the number of households can reach more than 380 million households!

With Li Shimin's words, all the emperors present could immediately feel the horror of Kaiyuan's prosperous age.

The population is increasing!

There is also a Mingjun in power, which is bound to bring economic take-off.

No wonder it can create a scene of prosperity in Kaiyuan.

[Culturally, inhibiting the development of Buddhism]

[The attitude towards Buddhism was conniving during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, Buddhism developed rapidly, there were temples everywhere, and the number of monks increased dramatically]

[With the connivance of the state, the monks vigorously merged land and evaded state taxation, reducing the number of people who have to bear taxes and corvees, seriously affecting the state’s income]

[Under Xuanzong's reduction order, the number of monks and nuns in the country reached 2000]

[It is also forbidden to rebuild new temples, cast Buddha statues, copy Buddhist scriptures, and communicate with officials and monks and nuns]

[However, the number of monks and nuns in the whole country is still as large as [-] to [-], reaching the scene of "the wealth of the world is ten, and the Buddha has seven or eight"]

Seeing this set of data...

Don't say that Li Shimin was shocked, because he is one of the culprits who promoted the popularity of Buddhism.

Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yang Jian were astonished.

Especially Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he looked at Tang Xuanzong in great surprise, "Don't you know what kind of harm Buddhism will bring to the country?"

Although when he was in power, there was no such thing as Buddhism.

He didn't know what this thing was for.

But just seeing 10,000+ people in a country is not productive.

He already felt terrible.

If these 10,000+ people still have privileges, it will be even more terrifying.

"In fact..."

Yang Jian said at this time, "Your Excellency Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, these temples generally enjoy tax exemption, land, maidservants, slaves and other privileges."

"It is also easy to challenge the imperial power with religious and divine power, and even surpass the imperial power to become a higher-level ruler!"

Liu Che looked at Yang Jian in shock and couldn't believe it: "Since you all know about this kind of thing, why don't you impose restrictions?"

"Don't you want Taoism and Confucianism in the Central Plains?"

Yang Jian heard the words: "You can rest assured about this."

"Before me, there were two emperors, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who carried out a large-scale campaign to exterminate Buddhism!"

"So, no matter how prosperous Buddhism is, it will not dare to override the imperial power!"

at this time…

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly appeared again, and said: "Actually, Emperor Wuzong of the Great Tang Dynasty and later Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty also carried out corresponding campaigns. It is known in history as 'three martial arts and one sect to destroy Buddha'!"

He smiled sincerely: "I don't know about other countries."

"But in this Central Plains, Buddhism is just a spiritual tool used by the emperors to appease the people!"

His smile gradually became playful, "As long as Buddhism is fattened, it will become the target of the emperors."

Looking at his smile, Liu Che suddenly mourned for Buddhism.

These emperors are actually smart.

There is no need to worry about Buddhist rebellion at all.

"However, Emperor Taizong, the rapid increase of temples is inseparable from you!"

"In your later years, you especially believed in Buddhism. If Gaozong hadn't cracked down on you, the number of monks and nuns would have exceeded 30!"

Li Longji spoke again, but complained about Li Shimin.

heard...

Li Shimin smiled embarrassingly, he couldn't refute this.

Because he did!

This made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che couldn't help frowning.

Why would such a shrewd emperor make such a mistake.

[Xuanzong attached great importance to the construction of books. After several years of hard work by many scholars, two hundred volumes of "Quanshu Sibulu" were compiled, and Lizheng Academy was established, and Jixian Academy was dedicated to collecting and proofreading books]

【And establish educational academies to develop educational institutions】

[Pay attention to the development of the astronomical calendar, order a group of monks to reform the new calendar, get rid of the mistakes of the old calendar, and use the zodiac instrument to measure the position of the stars, to prove the fact that the stars are moving, leading the world for thousands of years]

[It is also a major pioneering work in astronomy to measure the sundial shadows and the height of the North Pole in various places in the north and south, and to overthrow the old wrong knowledge.]

[Compile the "Dayan Calendar" to calculate the 24 solar terms corresponding to the farming season, which is convenient for agricultural production]

"You kid, you really did a lot of things."

"I'm really curious, what kind of mistakes did you make in your later years to let the world down on you and be forced to become the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Shimin stroked his beard with a curious expression on his face.

no way!
As far as Li Longji's current achievements are concerned, this is definitely a holy king!
One level higher than Mingjun!
Li Longji's so many achievements made him envious and even a little ashamed of himself.

Watch this introduction.

He could vaguely see the scene of that prosperous age between the lines.

and so…

How big of a mistake would it take to destroy all of this?
"Emperor Taizong, do you really want to see me make a fool of yourself?"

Li Longji's face couldn't help twitching.

After all, he is also his ancestor, can you give him some face and hope that he will be better?
Must want him to make a fool of himself?
"Hey, I can't help it, this person can't help but be curious!"

Li Shimin grinned, making Li Longji's face darker.

[During the period of Xuanzong, the national power was extremely strong, which reproduced the grand scene of the reign of Emperor Taizong, when all nations came to court, and the four kingdoms conquered and congratulated each other]

[The envoys, monks, and businessmen of the Tang Dynasty are always on the road, and there are more than 70 countries that have good relations with Tang envoys. Various countries come to Tang to do business, and there are also an endless stream of people who go on missions]

[Honglu Temple is set up to receive guests from various countries, commercial halls are set up in various places to entertain foreign businessmen, mutual market supervisors are set up, and the Department of Shipping is in charge of foreign trade]

[Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Guangzhou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, and Dunhuang are important foreign trade cities, and many Hu people choose to stay in Datang]

"So prosperous!"

Li Shimin was speechless.

This is not a reappearance of his prosperity, it clearly surpasses him.

Liu Che, Liu Bang, and the First Emperor's eyes widened even more.
