Han Hai Tang Ergui

Zhang Ting still stayed in Chengde Mansion and did not leave. There were too many things. What he was facing was a rebellion. Although he took the initiative to "fish" it, it was quite difficult to deal with it, and there were too many involved.

And in the Dazhao Ming Temple, a group of great monks with different looks and shapes is a group of people who are quite difficult to deal with in this rebellion.

Strictly speaking, these people cannot be regarded as monks, because many of them are not even familiar with the scriptures, but they are familiar with the financial industry, real estate, logistics trade, etc.

Those true religious monks, Zhang Tie had already appeased them.

Under the joint coordination of Master Cixian and Master Wen Yi, the founder of Fayan Sect, Zhang Tie personally came forward and reached an agreement with them.

Buddhist sects all over the country, starting today, have fully resumed the Duyi system, and the number of monks in each place shall not exceed one-thousandth of the local taxpaying population.

That is to say, in a Shangxian county with 4 households and 40 to [-] people, the number of monks who have a degree can not exceed [-].

Of course, you can recruit as many monks as you like, but they cannot be ordained or exempted from service, and they need to pay taxes. As long as your temple can afford it, you can do whatever you want.

As for the issuance of degree certificates, there are also strict regulations, and it must be assessed every three years. Those who fail to pass will be directly withdrawn.

At the same time, the phenomenon of self-destruction and almsgiving is strictly restricted, and it is subject to government supervision.

In any temple, even if one person is found to accept alms-destroying alms, they will be punished from closing the temple gate for [-] days to revoking the degree certificate.

Regarding the Buddhist tradition of collecting precious metals to cast Buddha statues, Zhang Ting also gave a specific solution.

That is, the imperial court used rice, grain and cloth to pay in ten years and sold the bronze statues of the major Buddhist temples. As for the other half, the major temples were naturally willing to donate.

Since then, only special fine works of art can be preserved for the bronze statues cast in the previous dynasty. Since then, apart from royal gifts, only clay sculptures and wood carvings are allowed to be decorated with gold powder for Buddha statues.

Once the conditions are given, it doesn't really matter whether the major Buddhist temples and sects agree or not.

If they agree, Zhang Tie will give them face, if they don't agree, Zhang Tie will help them face.

Finally, after two or three days of stalemate, after the persuasion of Master Cixian and Master Wen Yi, Zhang Tie's reform of Buddhism was approved.

In fact, within the Buddhist sect, some people also oppose bad habits such as casting Buddha statues with gold and bronze, destroying the body and giving alms.

As soon as they agreed, Zhang Tie didn't wait for these people to go back to make arrangements, and immediately gave orders to Feng Dao, Zhongshu Youpushe, and Luantai servant Pei Yuan to act in accordance with this law.

Due to the previous battle to destroy the evil forces belonging to the Buddhist sect, the situation of the major Buddhist temples has already been figured out.

In just one month, Feng Dao and Pei Yuan closed more than 11 illegal Buddhist temples and killed more than [-] monks and nuns in the six provinces of Henan (Zhili), Hebei, Hedong, Guanzhong, Hubei, and Jiaodong. Return to vulgarity.

More than 300 million acres of land occupied by Buddhist temples were confiscated, and there were as many as 30 households concealed, with a population of more than 170.

Don't underestimate the 170 million guan copper. This is copper that can be used to cast copper coins, but it does not mean that it must be cast.

Therefore, the imperial court can use these high-quality copper mixed with ordinary copper and other minerals to cast coins, generating more than 300 million yuan in revenue, which can also greatly promote the market that is extremely short of metal currency transactions.

So far, this relatively mild extermination of Buddha, perhaps it should be called the reformation of Buddha, has come to a relatively satisfactory end.

Although Zhang Ke did not take violent actions like Sanwu's that even smashed Daxingshan Temple and Baima Temple, he also gave the Buddhist sect a heavy blow at this time.

The tax-free and service-free privileges of Buddhism are preserved, but the number of people is strictly limited.

And unlike when the Sanwu eradicated Buddhism, the Buddhist sect destroyed most of the money they looted and refused to let the court obtain it. Zhang Zhou's conversion to Buddhism this time, the Buddhist sect basically handed over more than [-]% of their property.

At the same time, to a certain extent, the damage of various precious cultural relics has been avoided.

At the Jokhang Ming Temple, Zhang Tie took the report jointly sent by Feng Dao and Pei Yuan, and couldn't help but suck his lips. When it comes to making money, it still depends on you!
And this is not the property of all Buddhist sects, because the temples that pay the above-mentioned goods do not include the great monks present here.

Compared with these big monks who are engaged in the financial industry, international trade, and real estate, the monks in the other temples, in addition to controlling the population, are rich, and they can’t keep up with the hundreds of monks who are now forcibly recruited by Zhang Yu.

The bank note is actually a cognitive mistake made by Zhang Tie.

He always thought that since paper money first appeared in the Sichuan area during the Northern Song Dynasty, the "silver note" he created, which was located before checks and bank notes, was an innovation.

But in fact it is not at all. These Buddhist sects, at least during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, began to use similar methods to solve the inconvenience caused by large transactions and long-distance trade.

This is also the reason why Qianzhuang can spread so quickly in the Central Plains without Zhang Tie's personal management.

They just don't have the ability to expand bank notes to Guanzhong, Hexi, and Longyou, and they are not fools who don't know the operating mechanism of bank notes.

The reason why Zhang Tie wanted to call them together was actually because after he took back the Qianzhuanghui, he was about to be unable to continue playing.

In the two years since the major temples were eliminated, the deposit and loan data of the Qianzhuanghui have dropped by more than [-]%.

The reason is also very simple. In this era, regardless of whether Zhang Tie is trying to create the image of a sage and a wise lord, there is a natural distrust of imperial power from the noble officials of the court to the merchants and even the common people.

After Zhang Ting used the Hexi Chamber of Commerce to take over the Qianzhuanghui, the thinking of most people was, who knows if this is the emperor looking for a reason to search for money?
After I deposit the money, who knows when it will be requisitioned by the emperor.

I will borrow money from the bank, will the emperor raise the interest rate significantly if the money is borrowed?

Many people have never borrowed money from the bank at all, and they directly wonder if the emperor is going to come back.

However, if the temple undertakes this work, there will be no such concerns. First of all, Buddhist temples are naturally close with a religious taste.

Regardless of whether they are saving money or borrowing money, they will not feel that Buddhist temples have the guts to swallow their money.

And compared to the few office locations of the Qianzhuanghui, these Buddhist temples that can be used as Qianzhuanghui are often big temples in big cities.

Not only does it occupy a large area, but it is also located in a prime location in the city. There are also various statues, paintings, gold and silver artifacts, and precious Buddhist scriptures worth tens of thousands of gold in the temple as pledges.

The saying that monks can't run away from temples, or similar sayings, did not appear in the Ming and Qing Dynasties at all, but in fact, it was originally used to describe how safe it is to save money and lend money in Buddhist temples.

Moreover, after the big corruption incident in the Hexi Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Tie also understood one thing.

Even for state-owned enterprises in later generations, corruption is a big problem. In this era, it is even more difficult to solve it. Even if you want to control it to a certain extent, it is unrealistic.

So instead of raising a large number of corrupt elements, it is better to really release the power of the Qianzhuanghui to these monks.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if these monks swallowed the money due to my saint Zhang and the court, it would be far more convenient to kill them than to kill people in organizations like the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.

So, the great monks from the major temples who were invited here with trepidation were pleasantly surprised to find that the emperor returned the money bank to them.

Although the emperor issued a death order that they had to deposit a large amount of gold and silver as some kind of guarantee money in the big internal treasury opened by the emperor, they did some calculations and it was still a good deal.

At the end of the talk, Zhang Tie chanted the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra together with the great monks, and ate a vegetarian meal made by the royal chef.

Zhang Ting is also very satisfied with the knowledge of the great monks, and he also knows the reason why they are so knowledgeable.

That is, Zhang Tie destroyed the bandits, bandits, and scarred-faced monks they had taken in, and the monks, who were most relied on by the major temples, were wiped out by force. They were only worthy of the rations that Zhang Tie let them eat.

In the fourth year of Shaoming, on the first day of May, Zhang Tie finally put an end to all the affairs of the great rebellion.

The relocation of tens of thousands of people from Wuning Town, Xuzhou is already on the way, and a large number of bandits, bandits, bullies, rangers, who were taken in by Buddhism with scalded faces, were all dispatched to Andong Province, preparing to attack Wang's Koryo as the vanguard.

In Hexi, each family of the old Guiyi army contributed more than 50 guan in property, and most of them were also relocated to Chang'an, Luoyang, and Kaifeng by Zhang Tie's order. These obstacles on the Silk Road were finally removed.

The Hexi Chamber of Commerce has completely disappeared, and its functions have been merged into government departments such as Jinyi Qinwei, Zhangtai, Household Department, and Transshipment Envoy.

Mi Guozhi, who was in Beiting, was transferred back to the Central Plains. After Kang Jinshan gave away most of his property, he went back to become a rich man.

Zhang Liecheng, under the arrangement of Zhang Tie, went to Guilin Mansion in the southernmost part of Hunan Province, where he assisted Zhang Tengjun (Ma Shacai) in dredging and repairing the Lingqu, collecting information on the Southern Han Dynasty, and preparing for the upcoming attack on the Southern Han Dynasty.

This is not a good job, it is dangerous and difficult, and there is also the danger of acclimatization. Zhang Tie will forgive him only after he has made great contributions and comes back.

As for the ignorant Cao Wanjin, he was beheaded by Zhang Tie's order, and his family property was confiscated and confiscated. He got a total of 220 million yuan.

The money he earned from the Hexi Chamber of Commerce is second only to Zhang Ting, exceeding nearly 12% of the profits of the Hexi Chamber of Commerce in the past [-] years.

However, in view of Cao Wanjin's involvement in various aspects, part of the confiscated family property was also Cao Wanjin's legal income, so Zhang Ke also pursued him and his confidants. As for Cao Wanjin's family, as long as they were innocent, they did not have much involvement.

In short, this fishing law enforcement ended with Zhang Ting's complete victory.

He wiped out a large number of opposition groups, decadent factions, and the hard-to-motivate old Guiyi army faction in the country. The internal and external enemies were almost completely eliminated, and the atmosphere in the army and the court was completely eliminated.

The process of unifying the world can already be fully launched.
