Datang first village

"Move, you must move. But some things must be done first!" Li Yuanxing knew in his heart that he could not wait any longer to compete with Buddhism. In less than ten days, he will get married, and after the wedding, it will be cold Dong, the new year is coming, Li Yuanxing hopes that he can have a relaxing new year.

Seeing Li Yuanxing's serious expression, Qin Qiong stood up and took three steps back.

This is Qin Qiong waiting for orders, as a general, waiting for Li Yuanxing's orders.

Seeing Qin Qiong standing up, Niu Jinda and the other three generals also stood up.

"General Niu, you are the main one. Take Su Dingfang and Mr. Xi to buy, and the three of you go to the twelve guards to select soldiers for the king. The king already has an imperial decree, and the Qin palace has four guards and eight armies. This king thinks that soldiers are expensive. There are not many, so each army first selects 1000 men." After Li Yuanxing gave his orders, the three generals saluted.

Li Yuanxing also confessed: "Don't choose by force, come to the Qin Palace voluntarily and accept it. This is a long army. After joining the army, you don't need to farm anymore. The Qin Palace will distribute the army's food and grass. The training intensity is extremely high, so don't be weak. , but also elite soldiers!"

"Take orders!" Niu Jinda gave another military salute.

"Ten days later, the king wants to use these soldiers, go!" After Li Yuanxing gave his orders, Niu Jinda withdrew.

Qin Qiong was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, after ten days, His Highness will get married!"

"So what?" Li Yuanxing asked back, Qin Qiong nodded silently, and didn't say anything else!

"Collect some materials secretly. It doesn't matter whether there is evidence. The king needs those who have committed crimes in the temple and have been taken in by the temple. This is the Tang Dynasty, and the national laws of the Tang Dynasty are fundamental. What Buddhist precepts must It is to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty first and then talk about their Buddhist rules!"

Qin Qiong understood that His Royal Highness King Qin's work must be a conspiracy, which made it so obvious that the Buddhism had nothing to say.

Qin Qiong also said: "The monk did evil, do you need it?"

"Yes, why not."

Qin Qiong silently wrote down this request.

Li Yuanxing said again: "The next thing, there is some taste of conspiracy. I don't know whether the donated land has been taxed. I will check it secretly, and then secretly send people to the homes of those who donated the land. , Destroy the evidence that they have paid taxes, the king does not believe that they donated land, and will even give the receipts issued by the household department to the temple!"

"Your Highness is brilliant! Counting time, the account books compiled by the counties have not been handed over to the household department. How about destroying the archives of the receipts?" Qin Qiong was more ruthless than Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "In this way, I wonder if it will bring trouble to the government?"

"Of course there will be troubles, but after the counties store grain and then transport money, grain, and silk to the Chang'an household department, the account books are destroyed, and the grain handed in by the counties is actually a bit more. The better ones will be judged as good, and the worse ones will be merits and demerits. It's just fair!"

Qin Qiong began to encourage Li Yuanxing, since he wanted to strike, he had to be ruthless enough.

Li Yuanxing still hesitated and didn't nod immediately.

Qin Qiong said again: "Your Highness, what if there is a family that donates land and fails to pay taxes?"

Li Yuanxing finally nodded: "You go and arrange it. They have to do it again for the first time, and then let the temple come out again. Those who dare to play tricks on food taxes must be severely punished. Choose a family to have surgery, and let everyone see it." Look, you all know the consequences of not paying the grain tax, I don't like killing people, but it's okay to serve as an army!"

"Someone understands!" Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief because he had persuaded Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing said again: "This is not over yet. The head of the Chang'an Temple family should find out and find enough crimes. The king is in the temple."

"Take the order!" Qin Qiong's answer was full of momentum, and this order was his favorite.

But Li Yuanxing's next order made Qin Qiong feel a little unhappy.Li Yuanxing said: "Find another family with a good reputation. If you persuade them to be soft at the critical moment, I will praise them as the number one temple in Chang'an!"

"Your Highness, the bald donkeys are not doing well!" Qin Qiong retorted immediately.

"Brother Shubao, for the face of the Holy Majesty, for the stability of countless Buddhist believers, and for the stability of the countries in the Western Regions. This must be done!" Li Yuanxing's tone was discussing, but he was also giving an order.

Qin Qiong nodded heavily: "I understand that His Highness has worked hard, so I will go back and make arrangements!"

"On the day of my king's wedding, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rituals, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Department of Security. Five hundred miles around Chang'an City, all prefectures and counties jointly inspected taxes. When necessary, eight thousand soldiers searched temples that dared to resist by force to rebel. The crime will be punished! Those who are willing to pay the tax must pay it within three days."

Li Yuanxing made the final decision.

Qin Qiong asked again: "Your Highness, what if all the temples pay taxes?"

"Then you can ask, is the warehouse in the Ministry of Household enough?" Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Shubao, when is this king going to make a move, when is there only the first move, you can do this first step with peace of mind, and the next thing Let me think about the details again!"

Qin Qiong made a military salute: "I'll do it now!"

Qin Qiong left, and Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette.I said in my heart that there are so many jokes about defrauding Buddha on the Internet in the future, just pick a few of them and argue with you Xuanzang, and then we will see how witty you are, whether your mouth can compare with Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

bicker!

Li Yuanxing patted his forehead lightly. This king is the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and he has a lot of quarrel with Buddhism.

That night, at dinner, Li Liyuan asked Li Yuanxing: "Why isn't Your Highness at the tea party today? The tea party was very exciting in the afternoon. Several types of tea that His Highness brought out were guessed by the tea merchants. They guessed the picking time exactly, but the tea merchants don't know how the tea is made!"

"My king has some important matters to deal with this afternoon!" Li Yuanxing replied vaguely.

Wu Zhao suddenly said, "That's Tang Seng!"

Monk Tang!Li Yuanxing was startled, Xuanzang, Tang Monk!This guy came back from the west, and the Buddhism in the Central Plains flourished.

"If you kill one monk, there will be countless monks!" Wu Zhao said again.

When Wu Zhao said this, Seventh Girl couldn't understand.However, Li Yuanxing could clearly feel Wu Zhao's thoughts. He was a little extreme. He had spent too much time with generals like Datang recently, and he was already influenced a lot by the idea of ​​killing the whole family.

Sometimes when dealing with some matters, I can't help but think of killing his whole family.

Tyranny!

But what Wu Zhao said is also right, the ideological war must be resolved ideologically, the suppression of Buddhism is definitely not solved with a steel knife, and there must be a better way to truly suppress Buddhism.

However, it is okay to suppress it with a steel knife for a few years.

Facing a table full of delicious food, Zheng Xiuyan didn't take a few bites, looking at Li Yuanxing's face full of anticipation.

When Li Yuanxing noticed her, Zheng Xiuyan said timidly: "Your Highness, I still want to eat the cake in the morning!"

"I really haven't eaten anything good!" Wu Zhao smiled, and then said to Li Yuanxing, "I want to eat pancakes!"

Will the cake have a cake?The seven women are all suspicious.

Li Yuanxing knew, however, that the cake Wu Zhao asked for was not ordinary.He turned his head and signaled Yuan Chun to prepare.

Soon, a few servants carried a large stove into the house, and then put on the shelf. On the shelf was a cover similar to the range hood of later generations, and then a thick bamboo tube was connected outside the house.

A dozen dishes were standing in front of the stove, held by maids.

Li Yuanxing first took a book and put it on the table: "Don't read the words of a gentleman far away from the kitchen, read this book. There is a detailed explanation of this sentence. The words of Mencius and King Xuan of Qi refer to benevolence, Tolerance and intolerance. Don’t say anything about kitchens, you’ve lost your knowledge!”

These words were obviously referring to Li Liyuan.

saute!Li Yuanxing used the method of stir-frying.After pouring the oil into the pot, Li Yuanxing said, "This method existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. There were people hundreds of years ago, but it was not popularized."

"Shredded pork with Beijing sauce!" Wu Zhao suddenly patted the table.

Li Yuanxing smiled, and poured a plate of shredded meat cut by the cook into the pot. The meat Li Yuanxing used was neither beef nor mutton, but pork tenderloin.However, Li Yuanxing will never reveal what raw materials he used, at least not yet.

All the ingredients are already prepared, and this cake is far better than modern ones.

First baked and then steamed, the cooks of Datang are absolutely top-notch in using cakes, let alone the cooks of Qinwangzhuang.

Green pepper shredded pork, green pepper eggs, potato shreds!

It can be said that except for the first dish, the rest are not owned by Datang.The vegetable shed designed by Wu Zhao is still usable now, but I don't know if it can withstand the first snow, so the current food is brought from the modern times by Li Yuanxing.

The green peppers have already picked out the seeds, but the potatoes are really eating one less.

Burrito!Li Yuanxing didn't know if Datang had such a way of eating, but he was completely surprised when he saw Qi Nu's eyes.I don't know if they were shocked by King Qin's handsome posture of turning the frying pan, or by the smell of the frying pan.

No matter what it is, it can't change the fact that Wu Zhao has quickly rolled four pancakes for himself.

Wu Zhao cut off a third of each rolled pancake with a knife. After all, she was still a child. It was impossible for her body to eat too much, and she ate too much spicy food. Wu Zhao just kept everything for herself. One third was placed in a small plate, and the rest was intended to be given to Qiu Xiang, but after thinking about it, he cut the other four two-thirds into eight portions.

Li Yuanxing, one for each of the seven quasi-Qin princesses.

This is only divided by Wu Zhao, it is not considered leftover after eating, and Wu Zhao's status as the eldest princess is also higher than that of the seven daughters.

After dividing it, Wu Zhao quickly ate his share, then made an excuse and left.

With four dishes, Seventh Girl was really surprised.

"In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a skill. Just like a cake, the king taught the cook. In just a few days, the cook not only learned it completely, but also made it better than the king. The most satisfying thing for the king That is, the cook also specially designed several tools for making cakes, and this king rewarded him!"

"It should be rewarded!" Zheng Xiuyan kept talking with a cake in her mouth. (To be continued.)
