People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 761 Let them return to vulgarity

Xu Jingzong also smiled and said: "Your official understands, Chang'an can rest assured."

Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong saluted together and went to work.

Seeing the yawning and sleepy Cheng Chumo, Li Zheng said: "It is said that Brother Chongyi is in charge of the affairs of Da Ci'en Temple. Brother Chu Mo doesn't have to worry too much, they are all his own."

Cheng Chumo seemed to have already put this matter behind him, nodded indifferently, and then said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Zheng looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "You just need to restrain yourself."

Cheng Chu nodded silently, "Okay, I'll restrain myself recently."

I don't know why this guy Cheng Chumo burned down his temple, but he still looks proud.

Maybe something he is proud of, even if his temple is burned down, people can't do anything to him, it should be like this.

Li Lizhi was discussing the summary of this year's earnings with several Jingyang workshop owners.

Today, most of the Jingyang workshops are run by women. The manufacture of soap, pulp, and cotton cloth are all done by women in the village.

Farming in the village is done by men.

The old village head took the lead and called on the villagers to work.

Before the beginning of spring, the village in Jingyang was already busy.

Compared with other villages around Chang'an, people in other villages have not yet entered the stage of busy farming.

After Tang Xuanzang woke up, he left the medical hall in Jingyang.

Li Yifu reported to Li Zhengzhi: "Tang Xuanzang didn't say where he was going, and he left without saying goodbye. It's really unruly."

Li Zhengfan looked at the latest printed book and said: "It's good for him to leave Jingyang, I'm afraid he will commit suicide in Jingyang, and it will be troublesome if he dies to thank the world."

Li Yifu nodded, "Yes, even if he is dead, he can't be allowed to die in Jingyang. As long as the Chang'an order is issued, I will send people to kill Tang Xuanzang, so that no one can find Jingyang."

Hearing Li Yifu's eloquent words, Li Zheng looked at him suspiciously a few more times.

Seeing Li Zheng's eyes, Li Yifu's aura suddenly weakened by half, and he said in a low voice: "I know a few rangers, and they handle things well."

Li Zheng withdrew his gaze, "It's not necessary, but what is that little monk named Bian Ji doing?"

Li Yifu took out his pamphlet and looked at it and said: "The Bianji has been following Tang Xuanzang now, it is said that they went to meet His Majesty first, and then went to Zhongnan Mountain."

"Mount Zhongnan... Isn't that the land of Taoism?" Li Zheng pondered.

Li Yifu said again: "Should we send someone to investigate?"

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need."

Rather than go to investigate Tang Xuanzang's movements by yourself, it is better to ask your majesty to go and investigate. Li Shimin wants the destruction of Buddhism more than anyone else. It is best to let those Buddhist monks come out to farm. nasty.

Monks do not marry, do not generate taxes, and do not participate in production.

Not marrying and not having children will have a great impact on the population of Datang.

Not working and not paying taxes is not good for Datang's economy.

It is useless to the country.

Li Zheng said: "It is the best for Tang Xuanzang to return to vulgarity. If Tang Xuanzang can return to vulgarity, and all the monks in the Central Plains can also return to vulgarity, that would be a great thing. In addition to the influence of Tang Xuanzang in Buddhism today, as long as he returns to vulgarity, it is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. We call on more people to return to vulgarity, after which they can start a family and have children, and after giving birth to children, they must raise children, work, and work.”

The larger the population, the better the economy of the Tang Dynasty. This is what Li Shimin really wants.

More than 20 years after the former Sui war, the population growth has been slow.

This is what Li Shimin is most worried about now.

This is also the place where the Buddhism and the court are contradictory.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Go and check Bianji, especially the people who often walk around with him and some people with related interests. He has thoroughly investigated the relationship between Buddhism and the rich and powerful. Our next issue of the magazine Just write this."

This is a big event, if the window paper between Buddhism and the powerful is pierced, there will be big waves in the world.

Upon receiving Li Zheng's words, Li Yifu immediately said, "Let's make arrangements."

After speaking, Li Zheng looked at Wang Ding and said, "Did Wang Gong understand what I said?"

Wang Ding smiled and nodded, "I understand."

Li Zheng went on to say: "The court and China can formulate corresponding benefits for returning to vulgarity."

"Welfare?"

"It's a benefit, as long as you return to the vulgar, there are benefits." Li Zheng said to Wang Ding: "As long as the monks return to the vulgar, they can get one-third of an acre of land. Now that the population of Guanzhong is not large, those monks have no place to go after they return to the vulgar. It is better to let them go." They go to farm, so that not only can make full use of the fields, but also have great benefits for the grain production in Guanzhong, and the monks are also beneficial. It means that there is nothing to pay for the court. Give them the fields that need to be reclaimed, and the court can pay more taxation of food."

Wang Ding said hastily: "The Chang'an order is brilliant, and this old slave admires it. If the window paper between the Buddhist sect and the powerful is pierced, the reputation of the Buddhist sect will inevitably be damaged. Once they leave Buddhism, it will be difficult for them to go back.”

Li Zheng smiled knowingly.

Wang Ding said: "This old slave will deliver a secret report to His Majesty."

Sitting in his yard, Li Zheng looked at the clear sky, and he was in a good mood today.

Changan
Li Shimin sat in the Ganlu Hall, watching Li Jiangshan and Wang Ding's secret report.

Glancing at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Shimin said, "Li is planning to expand the book printing factory, and more and more books will appear in Jingyang in the future."

Fang Xuanling bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are more and more people who can read and write in Chang'an. Besides the children who are still in school, there are also many elderly people who are also learning to read and write."

Du Ruhui said: "Indeed, the magazine written by Jingyang is very interesting. Compared with other boring books, the interesting things written in this magazine make people want to read it more, and this also allows more people to read and write."

Li Shimin recalled what Li Zheng had said. To deal with aristocratic families, it is not enough to only have books, but also to have imperial examinations. The court needs to provide scholars with a channel to ascend.

When this channel is related to all scholars in the world.

The aristocratic family's control over the scholars can also be self-defeating.

This is the most effective weapon against aristocratic families.

"Xuanling, do you still remember when Li Zheng scolded..." Li Shimin paused and said, "Do you still remember the letter that Li Zhengjin remonstrated?"

Only then did Fang Xuanling recall Li Zheng's letter. Although it was not written in detail, Li Zheng pointed out many problems in the court.
