Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

To build a relatively sound society under the rule of law, the first and foremost point is to act strictly in accordance with laws and regulations. If people who violate the law continue to be accustomed to it, will these illegal monks, nuns and monks become more and more lawless?

And if they are seen by other legitimate monks, nuns and monks, they will definitely feel that the laws and regulations of the imperial court are not binding, and then they will imitate the illegal acts one after another, and no longer have the annual review and assessment. In a mess!

However, after all, Li You is not a demon. Even if those monks who violate the law are caught, Li You does not want to imprison them for 25 years or directly execute them in autumn.

All the illegal monks who are caught are all sent to the frontier to work and farm the land. Since they have broken the law, they can contribute to the society as laborers to atone for their sins!

"In addition, those behaviors such as lending and debt collection that were originally carried out by the temple must also be strictly prohibited! Once violated, the government will deal with it severely, not only confiscate all the property involved, but also impose a fine!"

This is also a point that has been criticized very much in Buddhism before, especially those monks who were transferred from bandits, bandits and murderers.

"This is a great remark," Wei Zheng exclaimed when he heard the words, "His Royal Highness is really a blessing to the world."

Li You shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, there are also factors that restrain Buddhism. Mr. Wei may wish to think about why Buddhism can grow rapidly again and again and resurface again and again?"

After listening to the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty, they all fell into thinking, and Wei Zheng also thought about it seriously.

"Is it because of... the strong support of the imperial court?" Wei Zheng said uncertainly, "For example, during the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court vigorously developed Buddhism."

Li You nodded, then shook his head again.

"This is only half right. The reason why Buddhism can miraculously come back to life is that, in addition to the strong support from the upper levels, the most critical point is that the temple economic system they built is very strong!"

"Temple economic system?"

Everyone in the hall was stunned. It was the first time they heard this term.

However, Li You did not intend to explain in detail, because it is too troublesome to say - it is like an ecological chain composed of Buddhism, and the industries that maintain a large amount of money in the account are interlocking and supporting each other, and thus continue to grow!

The things involved are extremely complicated, so Li You just said it briefly.

"You all recall that Buddhism has always owned a large area of ​​land, and this land will give birth to the rented grain of the land, and then they will use the incense money paid by the believers to make loans... This is With one set, Buddhism can have huge liquidity!"

When Li You said this, many ministers and officials understood.

If nothing else, just lending and borrowing is a very profitable business in today's era.

Because the legal system and civilization are relatively underdeveloped, the methods of debt forcing in the Tang Dynasty are countless times more cruel than the horrors of modern society in later generations, so the effect is very good, and it can be called a huge profit.

Because of this, the monks in the famous temples and temples are very, very rich, but it is a pity that their natural enemy Li You is here!

"Finally, they can't even carry on business activities. If you see through the world and want to cultivate Buddhism sincerely, then don't touch the business that is full of copper smells in the world!"

Li You made the final conclusion, and all the civil servants and generals nodded, expressing their deep approval.

"Very good, since the specific bill has been drawn up, and if all the ministers have no objection, I will directly issue an imperial decree to the world after the dynasty is dispersed."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, in a good mood.

"Then let's discuss the next thing."

"The next thing... I guess it has nothing to do with me."

Li You thought silently, since he became the prince, Li You found that he was a lot lazy again.

Because he is now the unstoppable Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the huge sense of stability makes Li You more and more lazy, and basically he seldom cares about the trivial matters in the government that occur every day.

Therefore, Li You immediately hid his merits and fame, returned to his exclusive pillar, and prepared to continue dozing off.

"Yangjie, don't go to bed for now," Li Shimin stopped him, "what I'll talk about later has something to do with you."

Li You was slightly taken aback and stood back again.

"Oh fine."

Civil and military officials: "..."

Wait... I always feel like there is something wrong with the conversation just now?

Why are His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discussing such disrespectful things about sleeping on the chapel so naturally! ?

Whether it is His Majesty or His Royal Highness, it seems too natural to talk about this topic just now!

Your Majesty, is this giving up treatment?Has it been completely defaulted? !

After trying hard to suppress the frantic complaints in their hearts, they were actually very curious about what His Majesty was going to say about something related to His Royal Highness, and all of them immediately pricked up their ears.

Li Shimin looked at Li You with a slight smile, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, in a few days, it will be your birthday, Yang Jie, right? I didn't care too much about it last year, but now that you are the prince, it will be different."

Li You was stunned after hearing this, huh?It turns out that in a few days it will be your birthday in the Tang Dynasty? .

Chapter 770 The first anniversary of time travel

Eh……?Even my birthday star doesn't know about this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Li You felt a little guilty, but fortunately he didn't talk nonsense.

But if you put it this way, the time when you passed through last year should be the original Li You just had his birthday?

The reason why I haven't noticed it all the time may be because Li You was really unpopular, so he didn't do anything about his birthday, and no one was there except for those friends.

It still feels a little miserable to think about it... but today, everything has been completely different.

"From the bottom prince who nobody paid attention to, to the prince who will attract everyone's attention on his birthday, I feel that a lot of things have really happened in this year."

Li You thought with emotion in his heart, in fact, this birthday is also meaningful for Li You, after Li You is over, it can be regarded as the official one-year anniversary of time travel!
