Protecting people, protecting money?

The multiple-choice questions thrown by Zeng Wu are very simple, but the choice is extremely difficult.

The monks are neither deaf nor dumb, and the monks in Daqin, including Fengzhou and Qinzhou, are very honest and honest, indicating that Daqin has its own set of management, but I have not heard of any monasteries that have paid taxes and served in service.

This is that there are too many monasteries in the land of Jingzhao and Fengxiang, which seriously damages the interests of the government, so this is such a bad move, and the whole tax service is one, which makes the people of Shimen embarrassed.

No, resolutely not, even if it is a hunger strike, it is necessary to prevent the implementation of this policy.

Of course, it is also achievable without hunger strikes and meditations, that is, to reduce the number of people in the temple, to a certain extent, and the imperial court will definitely not come to the embarrassment again.

However, if the temple is reduced and the number of staff is reduced, whoever wants to open his mouth will go back and wait to be beaten to death by a random stick.

Just when most of the monks unanimously established a firm belief and were ready to oppose the protest, Zeng Wu waved his hand, signaled Tang Shi to retreat, and coughed lightly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court is forced to introduce such a policy. Think about it, there are so many fields and mountains and forests in the world, but there will be more and more dingkou in the world.

Taking the two prefectures as an example, your temple fields occupy more than 20,000 acres, not including the mountains, forests and dry land.

20,000 acres of land, how much grain can be produced, how many people can be fed, have you counted this account?

Moreover, it is safe to say that at least more than half of them are fake offerings, not real offerings. Whether this is the case or not, you know best that this is a competition for the interests of the country and a personal interest with the people, and this is the worst nature.

Of course, you can't be beaten to death with a stick, such as the Pure Industry Temple, it seems that going back a hundred years, and there is no such thing happening, which should be a model for the liberation of the door.

Now that the imperial court has introduced an integrated tax policy, it can avoid such bad things as fake contributions, and also release the door to clean up.

Second, it is also an interpretation of the concept of equality of all beings, farmers, craftsmen, soldiers, monks, and all beings are equal.

Your Majesty highly respects the concept of equality of all beings in your Shimen, and takes this as the criterion for governance, so the tax policy introduced is not only for Shimen, but also for Daomen, and the same Shiqing, even if you are the right minister, you have to pay taxes on the land and property in your family......"

There was a loud bang, but an old monk couldn't sit still, and when he got up, he moved the table, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Any crime can be carried, but if this black cauldron is smashed down, the world's corporal and officials will hate it to the core, and the monks will become rats crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat, and there will be no more future.

"The poor monk is the presiding officer of the Xiangji Temple, in the past 30 years, the temple has not expanded an inch of land, and the monks in the door have nine fewer than ten years ago......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others immediately understood what he wanted to do, now that Zen Buddhism is flourishing, how can you Xiangji Temple not decay, and someone shouted loudly at the moment: "But senior brother, pay attention to words." ”

However, he raised his eyebrows, and he didn't say what he wanted to say, so he confessed to Zeng Wu and sat down gloomily.

He was in a hurry and wanted to get out of the circle of right and wrong, but as soon as he was stopped by others, he understood that he really asked for mercy, and he couldn't say it at this meeting.

Zeng Wu smiled back at him and encouraged him, indicating that he understood what he meant, which made Wei Ze's mood soothe again.

That's right, it's all Zen Buddhism's fault, what's the matter with my Pure Land Sect.

Moreover, the sect alone is divided into eight major sects, including Zen Buddhism, Tiantai Sect, Huayan Sect, Tantric Buddhism, Faxiang Sect, Vinaya Sect, Three Treatises Sect, and Pure Land Sect, among which the ancestral courts of the five major sects are in Chang'an.

The ancestral court of the Pure Land Sect is the Xiangji Temple, and the Pure Industry Temple is the ancestral court of the Vinaya Sect, the Huayan Sect is in the Huayan Temple, the ancestral court of the Faxiang Sect is the host of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the Three Treatises Sect is in the Caotang Temple.

Of the eight major sects of Mahayana Buddhism, Chang'an has five in one go, but none of them are worth one Zen Buddhism.

Why is Zen Buddhism?

Don't set up words, don't spread them outside the church, point directly to people's hearts, and become a Buddha by seeing nature.

Unlike other sects, it requires asceticism, graduality, and even strict laws to bind, which is loved by the vast majority of monks.

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. ”

The illiterate six ancestors Huineng, opened the most glorious era of Zen Buddhism, from the south to the north, first defeated their senior brother Shenxiu Yimai, and then defeated the other sects, from today, the prosperity of Zen Buddhism, the world has no pair.

Because of the emphasis on enlightenment and becoming a Buddha, many people later sang this scripture crookedly, and even some pretended to be dumb and pretended to be eminent monks.

But why are you in a hurry to jump out, because the Pure Land sect takes the chanting of Buddha Samadhi as the supreme and profound Zen door, and it is the most shameless Zen monk's empty stomach and high heart, but now because of the nonsense of Zen Buddhism, he has to carry the black pot for it, how not to hurry.

There are several people with the same mentality as him, and their faces are full of constipated expressions that want to speak and stop, this Liberation Congress, not only Mahayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism, all sects, there are representatives, but they only occupy thirteen positions, and the other twenty-three positions are occupied by Zen people.

There are many Zen people, and it is not easy to offend, but the court is holding a crossbow steel knife, and it is even more difficult to offend.

In fact, no matter what the sect is, those who can come to the conference actually want to protect their money, not their people.

How good is the prosperity of incense in their own temple, although other temples are all fellow monks, but to put it bluntly, they are competitors, not only the competition in the incense money, after all, there are still many real monks in the participants, although these monks do not care about secular things, but they care about the dispute of doctrines, the difference of sects.

Who doesn't want their temple to be full of incense, and who doesn't want to have 3,000 disciples under their own doors?

But how dare you say such a thing, so knowing that the situation has fallen into the mud, you have to speak vaguely, holding on to it on the one hand, and begging for mercy on the other, it is best that the imperial court does not introduce any policies.

Moreover, everyone is watching, and it is not possible to be dumb.

The scene gradually became chaotic, and the voice gradually got higher, one by one the monks got up to speak, but no matter what they said, Tang Shi didn't listen to it, because His Majesty had an explanation, the most witty person in the world is the Zen monk, don't follow Rao, just let them speak, if you don't listen, you will win.

What he should pay attention to is the reaction of the monks, and he exhales happily in his heart, thinking that His Majesty's insight is wonderful, with the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker, and a big black cauldron to be buckled, to see what you can do.

It was boiling and noisy all morning.

Tang Shi almost fell asleep, but fortunately, Zeng Wu's good temperament finally grinded the fire, and said coldly: "Great monks, what you mean, I understand what I hear, the fields must be occupied, taxes cannot be paid, and labor is not on a business trip, isn't it?" ”

Monks, look at me, I'll look at you, all of them looked excited when they didn't ask just now, but now they really asked, but no one dared to answer.

"Isn't it, isn't it?"

Zeng Wu asked twice, but no one answered, and the monks looked blank again, Zeng Wu smiled, got up slowly, but suddenly slammed the table, and reprimanded angrily: "Looking at the Taoist appearance, but there is no responsibility, just you cultivate the Buddha and cultivate a fart."

I don't believe in Buddhism, we all know that Buddhism has three poisons, greed, hatred, and stupidity, all of you are greedy, and you dare to call yourself a great monk?

I know why you are silent again, because you know very well that this is vexatious, this is for your own benefit, clerk ......"

"Yes."

"Every speech has been written down, handed over to Tang to join the army, and it will be printed and published, so that people from all over the world can comment on it, take a look, and say that justice is in the hearts of the people, and the appearance is also saved from being a villain."

Tang Shiqiang smiled and agreed.

Zen Master Chengzhao, the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple, was suddenly anxious, he had enough knowledge in the Great Ci'en Temple, and it didn't matter what happened, but if the words of the quarrel here were spread, not only would the release door be a big ugly, but his old face would also be lost.

"Zeng Xianggong, please give us another half a day, how about replying?"

Zeng Wu groaned for a while, sighed, and said, "Okay, just give another half a day, tomorrow, there must be an answer." ”

"Thank you!"
