Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"Too much now? You'll think too little later!"

"Everyone, please be quiet, and listen to Gu's coming," Li You shouted to suppress the audience, "The [-] Buddhist temples reserved are not ignored by Gu. On the contrary, Gu will adopt a multi-step strategy. Completely strengthen the control!"

"The most basic and crucial point is to issue an edict that the number of temples reserved in each county is limited to [-] people; the number of temples reserved in each state is limited to [-] people; the number of temples reserved in each province is limited to [-] people. , the limit is [-] people; the last temple preserved in Chang'an is limited to [-] people!"

"If only the number of people is limited, how can it be enough?" Li Jing frowned and asked, "There are too many tricks that can be manipulated. Those monks, nuns and monks can completely hide Chencang."

The term "Darkness Chencang" is also used in Li You's "Thirty-six Strategies".

"I haven't finished talking yet, the limit is only the most basic operation, and the most critical part is the limit based on the limit!"

Li You smiled: "This limited number of people, not everyone can be included in the quota, which requires corresponding qualifications! That is, like the imperial examination, it must pass the imperial examination!"

"Also... can you do this!?"

All of a sudden, everyone was shocked. Since ancient times, how many scholars have been stumped by one imperial examination, so they don't need to actually operate it, and they understand how terrifying the effect of this method is!

And putting the imperial examination system into Buddhist governance, such a showy operation has never been thought of in the past!

"This practice... in itself is equivalent to persuading Buddhists to expel them!"

Kong Yingda muttered to himself: "After all, if you have to go through such a difficult exam before you can become a monk, why not pass the imperial examinations for the best ones who can pass the imperial examinations? Isn't it a hundred times better to be an official? This is a two-in-one strategy! "

Chapter 767

"Of course, in the examination of Buddhism, either the Buddhist scriptures or the laws of the imperial court should be used as the examination questions. Both are indispensable."

Li You continued to add that everyone found out that His Royal Highness really wanted everything.

If you only understand the Buddhist scriptures, but don't know how to abide by the law, then you don't have the qualifications to become a monk!

"In this way, after all the exams are completed, those who do not pass must be forced to return to the secular world, and then the fields will be divided for them to cultivate, and those who remain at the end will be qualified to become monks and hate them - attention, this is just qualifications! "

Li You paused, and everyone froze in their hearts, knowing that Li You was going to make a big move~!

"If they are only qualified to become monks, then of course they are not qualified monks. If they want to become a monk legally, they must get a formal order from the court! Moreover, this order is not valid for life, but must be for one year. first instance!"

This ultimatum existed before, but it was not in the form of Li You's. Under Li You's policy, this ultimatum was like an official license to become a monk, a bit similar to the combination of a business license and a personal driver's license in later generations. Version.

One of the similarities is that this ultimatum must be reviewed annually. If it is not reviewed last year, the ultimatum will become invalid, so it will have to be re-examined. The maximum guarantee is that the monks all over the world will always be firmly in their hands!

"These ultimatums are of course limited, and the government has corresponding records, so there is no way to counterfeit them, and if you want to get the ultimatum, you have to pay!" Li You smiled, "By the way, the annual review also requires payment, but there is no That's all there is to pay."

Li Shimin hesitantly said: "This...not good? Wouldn't it arouse people's rebellious psychology? After all, in the past, the imperial court only collected taxes on the imperial court. Open your eyes to the money..."

Before Li Shimin's hesitant words were finished, Li You said with a blank face: "One ultimatum is sold for ten thousand dollars, and each annual review has to pay a consistent fee, and there are [-] Buddhist temples across the country..."

"That is to say, at least it will bring millions of dollars in income to the court!"

Snapped!

As soon as Li You finished speaking, Li Shimin patted the armrest of the dragon chair.

"If I think about it carefully, the extinction of the Buddha is gone. What do you care about these details? Yang Jie's strategy is great!"

Manchu civil and military: "..."

Your Majesty, are you too embarrassed to say that you don't see money?

However, they also understand Li Shimin. After all, although the catastrophe has just passed, it is precisely because of this that everything is in vain, and the court and the emperor are unprecedentedly short of money.

Although the method of reshaping the currency is being implemented gradually and is very effective, it cannot quench the thirst of the near future, and even if the reshaping of the currency is fully effective, it can only help Datang completely get rid of the influence of the catastrophe and fully recover to the state before the catastrophe. level.

So what was the financial state of the imperial court before the catastrophe?

Still short of money!

It's just that the super invincible lack of money has become a slightly better very lack of money, which is essentially the same tragedy.

Therefore, Li Shimin's eyes turned red when he heard that he could earn millions more!

"Father, this payment also has another effect," Li You smiled happily after hearing this, "that is to force them to pay attention to the annual review. Because once there is no annual review, the ultimatum will be invalid, and they have to pay ten more money. Re-run the ultimatum!"

And even if you go to the annual review, if you slack off because you start to indulge yourself and don't make a good family, you will not be able to pass the annual review.

So at this moment, the happy smile on Li You's face, in the eyes of the officials and officials, seems to be the smile of the God of Wealth!

"Because the number of places is strictly limited, it can only be less but not more, and every time a place is vacated, a new place can be added, so the competition is fierce, and I'm not afraid that they will protest the fee by 'not going to apply', after all, the number of places is limited, you don't want it I want it!"

Hearing what Li You said, the rest of the people were amazed again.

Every detail of this policy is interlocked, it's absolutely amazing!

The psychology of those monks, nuns and monks was simply eaten by His Royal Highness!Can't turn over at all!

"This idea... is so immoral!"

"As expected of His Royal Highness, he is really immoral!"

"This is the wicked prince that I am familiar with!"

For a time, countless civil servants and generals were praised by Li You in their hearts, but the content of this praise was all unsightly.

0 …

Li You: "...?"

Although Li You couldn't hear the words in their hearts, he could still notice their gradually wicked smiles, and the eyes of fellow people who looked at him and felt deep appreciation.
