Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 206 Taibai Jinxing set up a robbery, but found out that there is no robbery 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed for a while.

Su Chen is heading for Buddhism, and what he has to do is to balance Buddhism.

Although he is optimistic about and trusts Su Chen, Su Chen is too immortal to control him at all.

Then, Buddhism is his reliance.

Balancing Buddhism and Taoism is his imperial art.

If Su Chen confronts the Buddhist sect and pacifies the Buddhist sect, his Tang Dynasty will not be stable.

Li Shimin then asked tentatively: "Tianshi, do you have any enmity with Buddhism?"

Su Chen said: "No, the poor are kind to others, and Buddhism is also among them."

Li Shimin said: "Then why...why do you..."

Su Chen said for him, "Damn Buddhism?!"

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly.

Su Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty, if you feel that I have cheated Buddhism by donating 30 dans of food, then I will take it back."

Li Shimin hurriedly said: "No, no, I just think that this is a forced donation to Buddhism, but it is very good."

30 dans of food, that is enough for the soldiers who attacked Goguryeo to eat for two months, but it is very expensive.

Su Chen said: "Actually, if you want to force donations, then it is. But it is not considered as forced donations to Buddhism. Your Majesty has overestimated their status in my heart."

He said slowly: "Whether Taoist or Buddhist, they all have land in the Tang Dynasty, and they don't have to pay taxes. Your Majesty, other Taoist temples of my Taoist school are still pure cultivation, but an ordinary Taoist temple can also support twenty or thirty. producer."

"Not to mention my Yunyuanshan Hualong Temple, my daily income is enough to feed thousands of people. The accumulation in a year, whether it is gold and silver wealth, or the grain grown in the fields, is enough to feed millions of people .”

Li Shimin gasped, shocked.

Su Chen continued: "However, there are only 10,000+ people in my Yunyuan Mountain."

Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up in shock, and said, "Yunyuanshan Hualong Temple actually has so much output?!"

Su Chen shook his head and said, "The output is only part of it, and most of it is incense money from the common people."

There was more panic and shock in Li Shimin's eyes. If this sum of wealth was used to build an army, he might be able to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant!

Yunyuan Mountain has accumulated wealth for several years, and I am afraid that it can already become rich like an enemy!
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, only Yunyuan Mountain has such terrible wealth, what about the Buddhist sect in Tang Dynasty? Haha, I'm afraid it is only a lot more than mine!"

Li Shimin originally wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really what Su Chen said.

There are eight hundred Taoist temples in the Tang Dynasty, and each one is resplendent and resplendent, covering a vast area.

Let’s just talk about Chang’an, there are 36 ancient temples, each of which covers an area of ​​[-] mu, and supports at least [-] monks!
Li Shimin didn't think about how much their wealth was before, but after Su Chen took the initiative to explain and compared them, he was startled.

I am afraid that the sum of the temples near Chang'an is more than half of the wealth of Yunyuan Mountain, let alone all the temples in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "How can they accumulate so much wealth, this is Datang's wealth!"

Su Chen said: "The people's incense money, as well as their land output, all income is pure income, there is no need to pay taxes, it will come naturally!"

Without further ado, Li Shimin said, "I must let them donate money to fight the war."

He said it through gritted teeth.

Originally, he thought that what Su Chen said was exaggerated, and there were too many of those things, and it would be bad if it made Buddhism too ugly.

but.

He just felt that what he asked for from Buddhism was too little.

It has to be a little more.

Su Chen showed a smile, although he also lost a lot, but it is also very good to be able to cheat Buddhism.

In fact, he is not at a loss.

Yunyuan Mountain is a big producer of grain, and every year there is only a lot of grain, even piled up like a mountain, and the warehouse can't put it down, so they can only do charity everywhere, or make it into various food and send it to all parts of the country for sale.

Therefore, the mountain people in Yunyuan Mountain are very rich.

Even so, there is still a lot of food produced every year, and it is a waste to store it. Otherwise, it will be a waste if it is used to brew wine or feed chickens and pigs.

Take it out and donate it to Datang, let Datang prosper, and you can earn a reputation, and you can also deceive the Buddhist sect. It is like killing three birds with one stone.

Why not do it!
Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, "Tianshi, if you do this, you will harm others and benefit yourself, why bother?!"

He also figured it out, Su Chen still wanted to trick the Buddhist sect, otherwise he wouldn't have brought this matter to light.

Su Chen said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am a fairy, and I don't care about money and food. However, I love Datang very much, and I can't bear so many blood-sucking insects on it!"

Li Shimin was infected by his seriousness, and even took the initiative to kneel down to Su Chen and kowtow three times.

Su Chen didn't stop him either.

afterwards.

Li Shimin said: "Tianshi, I thank you for your feat on behalf of the people of Tang Dynasty."

Su Chen smiled and said: "If the money and food problem is solved, most of Tang's internal troubles will be solved. As for foreign troubles, His Majesty can actually solve all of them if he knows how to use them well."

Li Shimin nodded, he understood that everything was still with him.

If he is good, Datang will be even better.

The more problems of Yujia's personal conquest are internal troubles, followed by external troubles.

He cupped his fists, thanked him repeatedly, and then got up, he was going back, there were too many internal troubles to solve this time!

but.

If it can be solved, he himself will be a little excited, which means that he can conquer by himself! !
It must be done well!
Li Shimin left, and after he went down the mountain, Su Chen got 5000 years of mana.

Today's cultivation has reached the level of 5000 years, which is already penetrating the heavens and the earth.

However, it was still a little short of Su Chen's breakthrough window paper.

Even Su Chen felt that after breaking through, he would be very powerful.

It may keep up with the existence of the Eight Immortals of the Cave and the Dragon King, and there will be a very big gap.

but.

Still unable to break through, he almost got depressed.

However, the gods in the Chang'an realm noticed the situation in Yunyuan Mountain.

Even though Yunyuan Mountain was guarded by formations, Su Chen's improved strength did not leak out.

but.

Close at hand, the powerful gods in Chang'an City still sensed some clues.

Followed by Wen Quxing, Li Jing and his sons, and the Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave, and the Barefoot Immortal, Broom Star, and Taibai Jinxing below.

Taibai Jinxing also descended to earth, and the location where he landed not long ago was near Chang'an.

At this moment, he looked in the direction of Yunyuan Mountain, a little shocked.

"What the Barefoot Immortal said is true. Chang'an really has an existence that transcends heaven and earth, and the breath just now is about to break through to the realm of Da Luo?!"

"I don't know whether his existence will affect the catastrophe of Journey to the West. Forget it, I will go to Shuangcha Ridge as soon as possible to arrange the catastrophe, and then come back for a visit."

Taibai Jinxing went to Shuangcha Ridge, Liangjie Mountain, and after making arrangements for a while, he scratched his head.

"It's strange. There should be a tiger demon here. The tiger demon departed from Chang'an. The old man appeared in Chang'an before. I didn't sense the existence of the tiger demon. I thought it had already arrived."

"Why not here?!"

Taibai Jinxing was stunned, if there was no tiger, would he really be acting here? !

Speaking of which, the other side.

Su Chen sensed that there were many immortals in the sky, and he was excited and worried.

At the same time, he was still a little anxious. Although he was very strong now, he didn't have much contact with the gods in the sky, and he didn't know how deep they were.

It would be great if there were more means.

The Holy Fire of Samadhi is the means of attack he desires very much. With it, he can get in touch with more unknowns.

"I don't know when Li Shimin will be able to handle it well. If he can't handle it well, then let him die of old age outside the Great Wall."

the other side.

Li Shimin returned to the Daming Palace, but his face was always grim.

Because, he kept recalling what Su Chen said, he had already sent someone to investigate Prince Li Chengqian on the way!
Not only Li Chengqian, he also sent people to investigate the imperial Taoist temple.

Although Su Chen didn't say anything, but Su Chen suddenly wanted to take over the Taoist temple, and let Yuan Tiangang be the master of the temple, it must have a deep meaning.

Maybe there is an existence in the Taoist temple that Li Shimin doesn't even know about, and it may cause irreparable losses to Datang when he is on his own expedition!
As an emperor, Li Shimin must know.

In addition, it is necessary to convene civil and military officials to discuss who will supervise the country, who will assist the country, and govern the court after he is gone.

Of course.

The most important thing is to make a detailed plan for Buddhists to donate money, strictly speaking, Buddhists donate money and materials.

After all, Taoism is poor.

And Su Chen also donated for other Taoist sects, and asking them to donate money and goods is somewhat unreasonable.

Buddhism is so rich that it must find a way to scrape off a piece of meat.

Li Shimin summoned his officials and expressed his intention.

really.

When the court heard that it was going to ask for money from Buddhism and Taoism, half of the people immediately opposed it. Most of them were the spokespersons of the Buddhist court.

"Your Majesty, it's okay for Taoists to ask for money, but Buddhism is a place outside the Fangmen. They don't talk about money, but only about fate. How could it be so rude?"

"Your Majesty, Buddhism is poor, how can it be more harsh?!"

"Your Majesty, if you are so disrespectful to my Buddha today, the old minister will bump into death in front of you."

Many opposed it, but others were silent.

There are very few people who speak for Taoism.

Li Shimin said: "Yunyuanshan is willing to donate 30 dans of grain, and the Buddhist sect didn't say anything?!"

The ministers were suddenly speechless.

The minister who was still howling like ghosts and wolves just now stopped abruptly like a duck whose neck was trampled.

Li Shimin hummed: "If the Buddhist sect is poor, I will send someone to check their money, and pay them taxes in the future!"

The civil and military ministers were all shocked.

Even Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others think it is wrong, it is killing the development of Buddhism, which is not good for the rule of the Tang Dynasty!

When Li Shimin was in a state of desperation, the old eunuch had already approached Li Shimin's ear.

He said softly: "Your Majesty, there are more than ten thousand swords and three thousand armors in the Prince's Mansion, and several blacksmith shops..."

Li Shimin closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and stopped the old eunuch Wuji from continuing.

Because, there is no need.

He was a rebel before, and he is very clear about what these situations show.

For this reason, Li Shimin shed tears.

Seeing this, the ministers below were dumbfounded.

Emperor, are you crying?
"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified!"

The civil and military ministers all knelt down.

The old eunuch Wuji ignored it as if he hadn't heard of it. Compared with the prince's rebellion, other things are not worth mentioning.

He just whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to do something?!"
