See Li Chengqian's appearance.

Li Shimin bit his lip.

Grabbed Li Chengqian's shoulders and let him lean into his arms.

"Daddy was wrong this time......"

"Never."

Tilted his head and glanced at him.

Seeing that he didn't react.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Still angry?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly.

"I've never been angry."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was happy.

"Then why did you and I make this look like this?"

"Isn't it enough to make me sad for a while?"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes.

struggled to break free from under Li Shimin's arm.

Then he ran briskly towards the main house, and when he reached the door.

He didn't forget to make a grimace at Li Shimin: "Slightly, let you beat me, this time you know what it's like to feel distressed......"

See him like that.

Li Shimin is angry and funny.

But he didn't go up and scold him as usual.

He stood up, slapped the dust off his body and walked away.

……

Stay until soon after he's gone.

The holy decree of Gonggong Zhou arrived.

At first, Li Chengqian thought something was wrong.

Later, when I heard it, I learned that it was Li Shimin who gave him the six states in the southwest of Hedong Province as a fief.

Take the Divine Decree.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.

"This slap and a kick are not in vain."

"At least, there are fiefdoms."

With a fief, it means that there is an annual offering.

This was before Li Chengqian did not partner with the eldest grandson Wuji to do business.

He didn't know how happy he was.

But now, he really doesn't feel anything.

After doing business with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Chengqian's small treasury is becoming richer and richer, and he even has a tendency to become a small rich.

Now he can finally say that extremely shameless sentence.

"Money is just a number for me......"

But no one is afraid of money.

Since Li Shimin rewarded it, then he also laughed at it.

……

Li Shimin's side has settled down.

Li Chengqian can also rest assured that he can do his business boldly.

Due to the lack of trouble, the paper mill and the printing house gradually improved their work on book printing.

The bookstore of the eldest grandson Wuji can almost be described as a daily progress.

But the smart eldest grandson Wuji knows that if he goes too far, he will definitely get into trouble.

Therefore, he left a small part to split in half with Li Chengqian.

Most of the rest was handed over to Li Chengqian, who was sent to the palace on his behalf.

Now schools are being built all over the country, and almost half of the gold and silver obtained in the Northern Desert have been spent on this.

As a result, the treasury of Datang, which had just been filled, began to become tight again.

This matter can make Li Shimin worried.

Li Chengqian sent him this money to a large extent, relieving his pressure.

However, Li Shimin is inevitably still melancholy.

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Father, all this money has been sent to you, why are you still unhappy." ”

"Happy what?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "If you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." ”

"This money is a drop in the bucket for opening schools all over the country."

That's exactly what happened.

Datang has a total of 10 provinces, 360 prefectures, and more than 1,500 counties under its jurisdiction.

In this way, if you want everyone to have books to read, you need to build at least 800 schools.

That's a lot of money.

Li Shimin sighed again.

"With such efficiency now, I don't know how many years later, I can see that my people in the Tang Dynasty can all read and write."

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian slowly raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.

"Father, there is a quick way for the sons."

Hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at him: "What bad idea did you think of again?" ”

"That's not a bad idea."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Why don't you want to think about it, what is the most in our Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Shimin looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Buddha Temple!"

Li Chengqian said directly: "Have you forgotten that Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty ordered the construction of the Great Buddha Temple throughout the country?" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin tilted his head.

"You kid shouldn't be paying attention to the Buddhist temple, right?"

"yes."

Li Chengqian did not deny it, and was very frank.

"If I'm not mistaken, there were 84 large Buddhist temples built at that time."

"And over the years, Buddhist temples have been built everywhere, even outside Chang'an, there are seven or eight."

"Father, think about it, if you send the monks in these Buddhist temples to other Buddhist temples, and use these Buddhist temples as a school for the son to study."

"Then we can cut our expenses by at least half."

"No, it's absolutely not going to work."

Li Shimin hurriedly shook his head and said, "If this is the case, it will inevitably cause unnecessary turmoil." ”

"In that case, the gains outweigh the losses."

"But father, the affairs of Buddhism will have to be resolved sooner or later."

"Don't you want to take this opportunity to eliminate some people's wishful thinking?"

Li Chengqian said seriously.

To be honest, there are some things I have wanted to say to Li Shimin for a long time.

In Li Chengqian's eyes, Buddhism is another opportunistic shortcut.

If you don't pay taxes or food, you have to enclose land to build temples.

In addition, after becoming a monk, you can be exempted from military service.

In the prime of life, this would be fine.

But is it the time to do it?

For people like Li Chengqian who have really seen the prosperous times.

Now are the troubled times.

In such an era, if everyone is a monk, who else can serve the country?

Similarly, Li Chengqian also knew that although Li Shimin believed in ghosts and gods, he did not believe in Buddhism.

After all, the harm caused by Buddhism in the past few years has been seen by Li Shimin.

For example, in these Buddhist temples in Chang'an City.

I don't know how many people who have been deceived donated their fields and family funds to the temple as incense money.

In this way, not only the people are having a hard time, but even the court is not having a good time.

After all, there is no tax on Buddha statues, which has been a rule since ancient times.

So, after listening to Li Chengqian's words.

Li Shimin was a little hesitant.

Looking up at Li Chengqian, he asked uncertainly: "Are you sure, is this really necessary?" ”

"It's necessary."

Li Chengqian nodded heavily and said: "If my father is afraid that he will be infamous in the future, he can publicize it to the outside world, this is my idea." ”

"This ......"

"That's not going to work."

Li Shimin was anxious and said directly: "Your reputation is also very important. ”

"Father, I can't control that much now."

"It's important to get down to business."

"Does it matter if you don't scold?"

Li Chengqian said seriously.

See him like that.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and finally agreed to Li Chengqian's proposal.

……

The morning of the second day.

Li Shimin tried his best to dispel public opinion and ordered the monks across the country to rectify.

Move out of the original temple and go to the temple designated by the imperial court to continue your practice.

This time, not only the court, but also the whole country was fried.

Everyone didn't understand why Li Shimin did this.

Is he not afraid of the wrath of the people?

Just when the voices of the whole country insulting Li Shimin were connected.

Li Chengqian directly asked people to release the news and tell everyone.

"This idea was come up with by me Li Chengqian."

"If you have any opinions, just come to me Li Chengqian."

"Don't scold the wrong person."

Even Li Shimin didn't expect it.

Li Chengqian will stand up at such a time and help him bear the infamy.
