The monks of Weiguo Temple are practicing Buddhism, Li Tong has no way to judge, but I have to say that the atmosphere created is really good, the twilight singing is soothing, the morning bell is melodious, and he slept until dawn, he didn't sleep so heartily in his own palace, after all, there was still a noisy Jinwuwei street.

Facing the rising sun, Li Tong stood in front of the Buddha hall and played a mustache, and did not forget to tell Shi Sizhen, the little fan brother who clapped his hands and admired next to him: "The Buddha incense used in the house is really helpful for a peaceful sleep, remember to ask the temple for a few times later." ”

At this time, Liu Youqiu also came here, and after hearing the words, he sighed and said: "Although the Dharma is vast, the monks are too stingy. ”

When Li Tong heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and he waved his hand to signal a few people to go back to the room to talk in detail.

Back in the room, Liu Youqiu unfolded the book file and began to introduce the results of yesterday's negotiations with the monks. Li Tong came to visit this time, and the price of the goods was more than 100,000 yuan, although it was not a huge amount, but it was by no means shabby.

But the feedback given by Weiguo Temple is not on the table, two stone carved scriptures, a wood carving of the Vedic protector, and some miscellaneous Buddhist vessels that ward off evil spirits in the town house, most of them are wood and stone carvings, and there is no copper and iron thing.

What made Li Tong feel even more annoyed was that there were still ten fasting rites, in other words, this was the meal coupon for Wei Guosi when he was holding a fasting meeting. He lacks this stuttering, and he will rush to eat!

In addition, there are many scriptures, but they are also not physical objects, but open the scriptures, so that the palace can bring its own pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy the scriptures in the temple. Li Tong suspected that these stinky monks had taken a fancy to him Zhong Shaojing by offering such conditions!

There are also monks and nuns who live in two guest residences, who live in the palace every day, chant and work, eat and drink, and are provided by the palace.

Hearing Liu Youqiu's speech, Li Tong was so angry that his stomach hurt, and he felt that sooner or later he would have to clean up this group of monks, and the protection fee was too ruthless!

Yes, he really came this time to pay protection money, and to enshrine the monks and nuns of Weiguo Temple, which can greatly avoid being framed for crimes such as trying to slander and dislike the evil.

Including Li Xianzong, who was sent to the palace by his grandmother Wu Zetian before, these are all officially certified and licensed religious people, with licenses, not drag racing, and they are not comparable to those unlicensed monks outside.

Of course, that's just what can be said on the table. In addition to these, Liu Youqiu introduced a private transaction, Wei Guo Temple gave ten degrees of places, monks and nuns are not limited, and twenty temples are pure.

This belongs to the category of wild roads, who Li Tong wants to use, not only does they need to not exist in law, but they also need to have a legal identity, so they can be used.

With these things, he can set up a grange outside the city, recruit dozens of guest slaves to settle here, and the state and county can't manage it, because these people and land are all temple properties belonging to Wei Guo Temple.

As for how Wei Guosi manages these industries, it is not up to the local government to ask, and Wei Guosi itself actually does not know where these industries and populations are.

So even though Li Tong hated these monks so much, he still had to make up, which was almost the only way he could manage his private power at the moment. After all, their own fields, fiefdoms, etc., are managed by the imperial court, and the affairs of the palace must always be prepared for the imperial history to be investigated.

For example, Tian Dasheng and others worked hard for him, and Li Tong couldn't give them a bright future for the time being, but at least the food and clothing needs should also be guaranteed. Therefore, similar industries that do not see the light still need to be prepared.

In front of his subordinates, Li Tong was not good at acting calculatingly, but nodded with a smile, indicating that he was very satisfied with the result of the negotiation.

But I still couldn't help but hint to Liu Youqiu, and the monks who are engaged in these gray industries in the temple have a good relationship, you might as well add ashes to ashes, and do these things outside, and take the hook of the dragon and snake, Weiguo Temple is such a big industry, and there is a lot of room to operate. It is cheaper to meet two or three monks than to pay for the entire temple.

He dared to engage in such a small action in Wei Guo Temple, relying on the darkness under the lamp.

Wei Guosi is an extralegal place licensed by his grandmother, and there will not be so many imperial officials who stare at it, and these monks themselves understand that this kind of thing cannot be put on the table, and they themselves do not have so much room for progress in politics, so they are naturally happy to make money.

In line with the principle of eating more and accompanying less, Li Tong struggled in the temple and mixed a lunch before officially resigning. During this period, Zheng Jin asked to select a few temple net slaves and maids, went out for a turn, and when he came back, he was followed by five or six people, and the little lady of the Tang family was also among them, and Li Tong didn't bother to ask about the specific operation details.

The slaves and maids of these temples, although they need to serve the palace after that, are not equal to gifts, and are still registered in the Wei State Temple, which is regarded as a labor export, and how long the palace is used, they must give the Wei State Temple a certain amount of money and goods to be compensated.

Their ownership is still in Weiguo Temple, in other words, even if Li Tong commits a crime and is to be raided in the future, these people will not be confiscated as official slaves, but returned to Weiguo Temple. If they die in the palace due to any illness, the palace will also compensate Wei Guosi according to the market price of slaves and maids.

Of course, Wei Guo Temple has a special status, and as for other temples, it is rare for them to have such powerful extralegal privileges at the moment, and they can compete with the clan relatives and nobles.

Although this arrangement is a little wronged by the little lady of the Tang family, Li Tong has no better way to give her a better background at the moment, after all, Jin Wuwei looks at her too much.

So far, some small goals have been basically completed, but the most important goals still have to wait for the results to be tested.

In the morning, under the gift of several acquaintance monks, Wang Yi of Hedong left Weiguo Temple. This time, there is no need to hide people's eyes, Li Tong simply rode his horse and walked slowly.

When the team changed careers and left Jishanfang, Li Tong saw that the atmosphere on the street was a little tense, the most obvious was that the number of disciples on Jinwuwei Street had increased several times, and at the same time, there were many people talking about each other.

Because of the isolation of the battle, Li Tong could not hear these discussions clearly, waved his hand and motioned the attaché to the left to inquire, and then reported that a noble man's garden in Beiqu, Jishanfang, was broken into and looted by Qiang Liang, and the thieves had been captured in the workshop.

"These thieves are really bold, they dare to run rampant in the city in broad daylight! I'm afraid that I see that Jishanfang is close to Chengmen Road, and it is convenient to escape far away after I get it......"

"I also heard that it was the family of a general who was taken captive. Haha, those thieves really chose a good target! In the past, these street ghosts were fierce and lazy, but looking at the people who are so diligent today, the robbers are not ordinary people in the military government! ”

Li Tong looked sideways at Tian Dasheng in front of his mount, and Tian Dasheng nodded imperceptibly.

However, there is no conclusive news at the moment, Li Tong can still hold back his laughter, and he doesn't want to swagger in Luobei anymore, so after thinking about it, he left Shi Sizhen, the second generation of officials, to find out the news, even if he was detained by Jin Wuwei, it would be easy to fish out.

As for himself, he didn't want to swagger through the city in Luobei anymore, so he sped up and returned to Luonan through the Xinzhong Bridge.

Li Tong has just returned to the palace and has not yet sat down, and Li Shouli is still complaining in his ears that he didn't take himself when he goes out, and Shi Sizhen, who stayed to inquire about the news, has already returned, and his face is wonderful.

"Does the king know? All of you, if I don't say anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to guess who the thief is! ”

Shi Sizhen, a Hu man, looks young and old, with a beard on his face, and he really lacks a very delicate expression, so he can only dance to add drama: "It's the master of the palace who went to the mansion yesterday, Fu Youyi!" ”

"How so?"

"He's crazy?"

"Is there something else going on?"

Hearing Shi Sizhen say this, the crowd in the hall looked disbelieving, and asked in a gossiping voice.

Shi Sizhen sold Guanzi, took a sip of tea, and then smiled again: "There is an even more surprising thing, do you know which one was robbed?" Qiu Sicheng, the heir of General Zuo Jinwu Weiqiu, you don't know how angry this kid was at that time, and he couldn't wait to copy the knife and cut the thief! In his other business, there are many rare flowers and trees, and an old grape vine is said to have moved from the east of the river, and the grape produced is more than ten yuan in the market price! As a result, he was uprooted by thieves......"

Li Tong originally just listened silently, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he only felt that this Fu Youyi was really wonderful. Not to mention the follow-up, just destroying the Qiu Jiayuan Mansion like this, he couldn't feel happy when he heard it.

During the Wu Zhou period, there was a cool official Wang Hongyi, passing through the melon orchard in the township, asking the master for melons and fruits, but the master was stingy and did not give, as a result, Wang Hongyi said that there were Ruiwu white rabbits in the melon orchard, and asked the county officials to send people to search and arrest, and the melon orchard was completely destroyed.

The news that Shi Sizhen found out is too shocking, it is hard to believe, mainly because I can't figure out what kind of madness this Fu Youyi is, why don't you stay in Luonan honestly, and go to Luobei to make trouble, and the trouble is still another business of the Jin Wuwei general Qiu Shenxian's family, this is not something that ordinary feelings of death can do!

As for Li Tong, who was stirring up trouble behind his back, he was actually a little surprised at this time, because Fu Youyi's move was not the script he envisioned at all.

His original plan was for Tian Dasheng to instruct the people arranged around Qiu's garden mansion to deliberately reveal to Fu Youyi the news that there was auspiciousness in that garden, which aroused the negative emotions of hatred and injustice in Fu Youyi's heart.

As for whether there were any relics in the Qiu Jiayuan Mansion, he didn't care at all, and he didn't let people take the risk of arranging it. He saw Fu Youyi's aggrieved energy that had no way to enter, and he had no sense of anything under his rule, and as a result, Luoyang County, which was separated by a river, was endless, and no one was happy to change anyone.

Then, there was no news of Xianrui in Luoyang County. This is the essence of Li Tong's calculations, what will Fu Youyi think?

Will he be curious, and then write to ask: Obviously, there is a legend that the Qiu family's garden villa is auspicious, why didn't Luoyang County report it?

Even if Fu Youyi forgot about it, Li Tong would remind him and continue to arch the fire.

As long as Fu Youyi is willing to go to the book, things can be troubled: the main book of Hegong County reported that the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, Qiu Shenyun, gave birth to Ruiwu, but Luoyang ordered Gong Heiming to hide and not report! What are you thinking? What are you guys up to?

If it is an ordinary period, this kind of thing will be reported to be investigated, and it will be nothing, and it will not be resolved, and it may not even be investigated. But Li Tong knew that his grandmother was sharpening her knife Huo Huo was about to give the Gong family a ruthless blow, but this kind of thing happened, can you not think about it?

Li Tong's idea, although tortuous, but also meticulous, he gradually accumulated the death of Qiu Shenyun layer by layer, and tried to keep himself out of the matter. But this Fu Youyi is good, he is quite reckless when he is old, and he doesn't wait to make a small report and go directly to the door!

For this reason, Li Tong also had to sigh that anyone who left a name in the history books is really difficult to control, even if he wants to die, he can make something else wonderful.

Although as long as it is preached that Qiu Shenyun has a definite connection with Gong Siming, it will be a loss in Wu Zetian's heart, but at least before the fall of the prime minister, Qiu Shenxian's position is still as stable as a rock, Fu Youyi, a good man, dares to go to the hard bar at this time, it is really immortal to peel off the skin!
