Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 89 The Difficulty of Forbidden Buddha
When Cui Tao asked to destroy the Buddha, Jia Sishun just stroked his beard and said, "It must."

Li Yan looked at him and asked, "Why not?"

Jia Sishun said: "The people are so foolish and trustworthy. This Buddhist temple is no better than a powerful landlord. These monks have done a good job on the surface. It may be counterproductive to ban the Buddha rashly."

Li Yan was also silent. What Jia Sishun said was correct, all it took was a decree to ban Buddha, but it was easy to ban Buddhist temples, but it was difficult to ban Buddha in the hearts of the people.

Many rebellions are in the name of religion, which shows the ability of religion to gather people's hearts in this era.

If you want to ban the Buddha, you must find a good reason, instead of directly using the overlord to order the Buddha to be banned.

Li Yan also nodded and said: "Jia Shishi's words are mature and prudent, Cui Sima, this matter of banning Buddha must be done slowly."

At this time, Jiang Lun, who was listening, said, "Your Highness, Lord Inspector, if you want to ban Buddha, you must first start with the economy."

Jia Sishun has had a lot of contact with the players recently, and understands some of the player's nouns.

Jiang Lun was in charge of salt and iron affairs, and was in charge of the monopoly of iron and salt in Shazhou and Guazhou. According to Jia Sishun's evaluation, Jiang Lun was a good money-gatherer.

Although Jia Sishun has never read the account books of Shazhou Governor's Mansion, relying on the monopoly of salt and iron, coupled with the low-priced and high-quality iron from Guazhou Iron Works, after King Jianning took control of Shazhou, he quickly reversed the lack of income of the Governor's Mansion. The problem.

The large amount of land and land acquired by Da Suomang greatly increased the income of the governor's mansion.

The money for the ironware franchise fell into the hands of King Jianning's Overlord.

The economy that Jiang Lun mentioned is the wealth that Jia Sishun understands. He only heard Jiang Lun say:
"Buddhist temples have three sources of income. One is charity from the common people, which includes the sacrifice money mentioned earlier. This is voluntarily given by the common people, and the government has nothing to do with it."

Li Yan nodded, giving alms is essentially what you want and what you want. People pay money to beg to enter the Buddhist kingdom after death. This is also a kind of transaction. It is the most difficult to prohibit it.

Jiang Lun continued: "The second is the rent-free of Buddhist temples. According to the Tang law, there are Buddhist fields in Buddhist temples, which can be exempted from renting. .”

"But this line is getting looser day by day. Originally, the number of Buddhist fields in Buddhist temples was fixed, but Buddhist temples gradually embezzled the land of nearby bankrupt people, or people hung their land under Buddhist temples in order to avoid land taxes, and some men wanted to exempt Ding Yong and corvee workers. , who shaved their heads and lived in a monastery. These can all be investigated.”

Jia Sishun also nodded. What Jiang Lun said is correct. If we can take back some land from these monks and release some fake monks, we can also suppress Buddhism.

Jiang Lun said again: "The third is to lend money."

Li Yan asked curiously, "Loan?"

Jiang Lun nodded and said, "The common people donate in cash, so it's not the merchants or the government that have the most cash in various places, but these Buddhist temples."

This was something Li Yan never thought of, Jiang Lun said:
"Buddhist temples have too much cash in their hands, and they can't leave it in the account to go moldy, so lending has become one of the main tasks of Buddhist temples, but the interest rate depends entirely on the conscience of these great monks."

Jia Sishun nodded and said, "The monks in Leiyin Temple do lend money, and the interest rate is not low. There are quite a few families who have been ruined by loans from Leiyin Temple."

Unexpectedly, this group of monks were so black-hearted, Li Yan squeezed the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly heard the sound of drums at the gate of the governor's mansion.

A small official hurriedly walked into the yard and announced:

"Your Highness, Lord Inspector, there are people beating drums outside the Inspector's Mansion to express their grievances."

"Beating drums to complain?" Jia Sishun asked suspiciously, "Someone beat drums to complain?"

There is a "rumor drum" at the gate of the governor's mansion. When the people have grievances, they can ring this drum, and the governor's mansion must be promoted to deal with it.

But beating this drum is not without cost. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether the accusation is injustice or not, as long as you beat the drum, you will have to beat the moss stick ten times.

This moss stick is not just lightly tapping the buttocks ten times. The moss stick uses a bamboo board to hit the prisoner's back, legs and buttocks. A little bit of people die.

Jia Sishun stood up and said, "His Royal Highness, let's open the Yamen Hall."

Li Yan still refused Jia Sishun's request to preside over the promotion, and still asked Jia Sishun to sit in the position of Zhengyin official, and he just sat on the side to listen.

Seeing a familiar face brought to the lobby, Li Yan saw that this is not a player?

Li Daoyuan is the famous scenery party player.

Now Li Daoyuan is already a [-]% fan up master, and his Mogao Grottoes series videos have become the most popular among the website's hot spots. Countless people have watched them repeatedly to appreciate the beauty of Dunhuang in the Tang Dynasty.

What made Li Daoyuan out of the circle were several professors of history, who are the authority on Dunhuang studies, who praised Li Daoyuan's video on the Internet for completely restoring the style of the Tang Dynasty in Dunhuang and solving many difficult problems in historical research.

This made Li Daoyuan and the game "The Wind and Cloud of the Tang Dynasty" out of the circle, and because of Li Daoyuan's promotion, the forum of the Fengyun of the Tang Dynasty was also overwhelmed by the lively netizens.

Nowadays, there are as many reminder messages in Li Daoyuan's video as there are messages in game forums urging the open beta of the game with unlimited numbers.

This guy wasn't shooting videos in Mogao Grottoes, so why did he come to the Governor's Mansion to beat rumors?

Jia Sishun also looked at the man dressed as a scholar. This guy felt like the group of strange dental soldiers beside King Jianning, not like ordinary people at all.

Originally, Jia Sishun was going to be tortured with moss and then interrogated, but seeing Li Daoyuan's appearance, Jia Sishun asked directly: "Who is in the hall, and what is the sound of the rumor drum?"

Li Daoyuan cupped his hands and said: "My Li Daoyuan is the tooth soldier under His Highness's command."

Sure enough, they were the dental soldiers under the command of King Jianning. Jia Sishun had long known that there were many talented people under the command of King Jianning.

Since it's Jianning Wang Yabing, let's fight after asking.

Jia Sishun asked, "What grievance do you have?"

"It's not for myself, I'm complaining for Shi Shi, a farmer next to Leiyin Temple."

"Why didn't Shi Twelve Lang come by himself?"

"Shi Twelve Lang is dead, I am suing the monk of Leiyin Temple for murder!"

Hearing Li Daoyuan's complaint, Li Yan and Jia Sishun in the hall looked at each other.

We were still discussing how to deal with these monks just now, and someone came over to pass the knife?

Thinking of Li Daoyuan's identity as Jianning Wang Yabing, Jia Sishun immediately gave Li Yan a look of "Your Highness has far-reaching plans".

However, Li Yan, the person involved in the "far-reaching plan", was at a loss as to why such a coincidence happened?Just when he was about to deal with these monks, Li Daoyuan beat the rumor drum to sue?
