Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

"Uh..." Li Shen was indeed a little embarrassed after hearing what his father said.

Jin Kemu did not perform well just now and revealed some flaws. He has been reflecting on himself.

I was a little too hasty. If I could be more cautious and say that it was buried somewhere outside the city, and then find someone to dig it out in the middle of the night, I would have succeeded.

Even if I can cheat out a few hundred or a few thousand kilograms of gold, it’s fine.

Seeing Li Shen standing there silently with a look of regret on his face, Li Shimin thought that Li Shen knew he was wrong.

If he knew that Li Shen was now regretting that he failed to cheat him of his money, Li Shimin would probably have to let Li Shen meet the ancestors now.

"Okay, Erlang, I'll go into this in order to help Gao Ming solve his puzzlement.

Even you, Erlang, were almost deceived, let alone the innocent people below."

Empress Changsun persuaded her.

"Mother is right, these people are so conscienceless and they cheated the people out of their money, they should all be arrested and punished.

Tell the states and counties below that if anyone is found, they should arrest them immediately. No one should be innocent.

If anyone is willing to use his own head to guarantee his innocence, I will send someone to personally expose their tricks.

Don’t blame us for taking their heads then.”

What Li Shen hated most was people who cheated ignorant people out of their money.

Li Shen doesn't hate liars. If you have the ability, you can cheat those nobles and rich people. That is your ability.

But the people are already poor, and these people are so cruel and cruel. They should be killed if they are found.

Li Chengqian was still a little hesitant. Buddhism and Taoism were two religions in the Tang Dynasty. They covered a wide range of areas and had many believers.

"Gao Ming, just do as Lao Shi said and issue an official document. All those who mislead the people will be punished according to the law and all their property will be confiscated.

Lao Shi, you should also warn the people in the newspapers. Ordinary people are still very convinced by what you say."

In the end, Li Shimin made the final decision and finalized the matter.

And he told Li Shen to cooperate.

Li Shen and Li Chengqian stood up and saluted to receive the order.

"Don't worry, Father. I will release a special announcement after I return to remind the people of the world to be careful not to be deceived.

We can also take this opportunity to strike a blow against these two external forces again.

Since they want to transcend the world, they should not enter the worldly world again.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they could be allocated the land they deserved to support their lives.

But don’t have any unnecessary worldly things, so as not to disturb their meditation.”

"Oh? Do you mean we are going to take action against Buddhism and Taoism as well?" Li Shimin immediately became interested.

Last time, Li Shen used Xuanzang as an excuse to reorganize the Buddhist sects in the world, and the Taoist sects were very aware of the times and voluntarily followed.

The money and property that were handed over that time made the national treasury very wealthy.

Li Shimin tasted the sweetness, so when Li Shen suggested to strike again this time, Li Shimin was of course interested.

“Yes, Aye, it’s been a long time, it would be a good idea to send someone to knock on the door and investigate.

During that inventory, I heard from Wang Xuance that the number of male adults had increased by more than 100,000.

This means hundreds of thousands of productive forces and labor force. If they get married and have children, the population will increase by hundreds of thousands.

In ten or twenty years, this population of hundreds of thousands may be able to multiply several times.

So I think we should regularly supervise and inspect temples and Taoist temples across the country, and punish any violations in a timely manner.

This will prevent them from amassing wealth and annexing land.”

Li Shen gave his own suggestion. Although it may not be possible to completely suppress it, it can be suppressed one day at a time.

Especially when you are still alive.

Li Shen's words were recognized by Li Shimin. The court had already tasted the sweetness, so it would not be difficult to promote this matter.

All the court needs to do is send an official letter.

"Well, what you said makes some sense, Gao Ming, what do you think?" Li Shimin nodded and asked Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian bowed and replied:

"My dear father, I think your plan is feasible.

This will suppress the development of Buddhism and Taoism, increase the population, and increase corvée labor."

In order to avoid corvee labor, many people chose to become monks or practice Taoism, and some even cut off their own hands and feet.

There are differences between the rich and the poor in every era, and Li Shen can understand that. He only hopes that the court can give some policy support so that the people can survive.

"Well, if that's the case, then you go ahead and do it. Issue an imperial edict in my name and have the Ministry of Shangshu send official letters to all prefectures and counties.

This matter must also be registered in the court gazette and distributed to various places."

Li Shimin issued an order, and he was the one who issued the decree on such matters. Even if there were complaints among the people, they were against him and had nothing to do with the crown prince.

"Yes, I obey your command." Li Chengqian bowed deeply.

"Aye, you are so wise~~~" Li Shen's flattery followed closely.

"Hmph, stop it. It's a waste of time to call you here today. You haven't done anything." Li Shimin looked at me with disdain.

The marriage failed, and she was almost deceived by the evil monk.

"Erlang, don't be angry. It's almost noon. Why don't you eat first and talk while you eat?"

Empress Changsun looked outside and said.

"Okay, okay." Li Shen hadn't eaten yet and was feeling a little hungry.

"What's good about that? Go back to your own house and eat. You came here for nothing and you want to eat here for nothing?"

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more suffocated he became. He had brought this rebellious son here to make trouble for a long time but achieved nothing, and in the end he wanted to eat here?

"Aye, how can you say it didn't work? Didn't you just perform a magic trick?"

Li Shen expressed his dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing the magic, Li Shimin became even angrier and started to curse:

"Asshole, what kind of magic is that? It's just your tricks. How dare you cheat me of my treasury?

You'd better go into the palace less often in the future, Wang De. From now on, when Prince Ji enters the palace, the number of attendants and eunuchs will be doubled, and he is not allowed to enter the garden without my written order.

Keep an eye on me."

"There's no need to do this~~" Li Shen asked helplessly:

"Aye, I was just demonstrating it to you, brother. I wasn't really trying to cheat you out of money.

Is Ayejude'er that kind of person, especially one who lied to his own father?

Isn’t that unfilial?

Although my son is a little naughty, he also knows the words of the saints: filial piety is the most important of all virtues. How could he do such an unfilial thing? "

Li Shen was deeply distressed and grief-stricken. He thought to himself, where is the trust between people? What is wrong with this society?

While Li Shen was grieving, Li Shimin smiled disdainfully:

"Old Ten, haven't you done enough unfilial things in these years?

Let’s not talk about the distant past. Just now you wanted to move my gold and silver to the treasury of your Prince Ji’s mansion.

And the matter of the four million strings of cash, it has only been half a year, right? And the one million strings of cash you borrowed from me,

Have you forgotten all this? My filial son! "

(I want to give Li Chengqian's son, Li Fuji, the title of a prince.

The requirement is that it is in line with the ancient background, the title of Prince of a County. I say it again, it is the title of Prince of a County.

Those who don't make up names properly should not participate. Thank you for your cooperation.)
