There are two kinds of people who are most afraid of immortality, one is to have great wisdom and know that their sacrifice is worthwhile.

Such people are rare, and they are often those who were the forerunners before the changes of the times. They are either for the country or for the nation, and they take life and death lightly.

The other type is the ignorant believers, and the reason why these people are not afraid of death is much simpler, that is, the ignorant are fearless.

was instigated by various religions or doctrines, and let him slash his father, mother and children, and he could do it, and it was no different from the walking dead.

These people, after scattering, are cowardly and incompetent, but when they are together, they often give them infinite strength and courage.

On weekdays, you may have to bow your head to dodge, and after you are in a group, you will be teased again, dare to fight, dare to smash and rob, no different from a mad dog, and think that you are trying to maintain the faith in your heart, which is ridiculous.

Just today, these dozens of people, in the face of such soldiers, actually stopped in front of their horses and spoke foul language.

Yang Yizhong tugged at the reins of the horse, the sound was like a bell, majestic and loud, not like the voice of this age.

"The new army of Jingying, act on orders, those who obstruct are guilty of the same crime as the rebellion!"

After saying that, the horse stepped on the man who stood in the way, making him immediately spit blood from his mouth.

After walking over, in the stunned eyes of the onlookers, monks, and officials, Yang Yizhong made up another shot and stabbed to death the person who was still on the ground.

The others who stood in the way were scattered, and those who could not dodge all died at the hands of the new army. Once they set out their hands, they will kill these people like chickens.

Since its establishment, the Beijing New Army has been practicing during the day and reading at night.

A soldier is a soldier, and in front of orders, it is more important than anything else. If someone thinks that coercing a few believers can prevent them from upholding the rule of law in the imperial court, it is very wrong.

Zhile was completely panicked at this time, and hurriedly hid in the mountain gate, directing the little novices to close the door.

Yang Yi shot an arrow to kill the monk who wanted to close the door, and the others immediately scattered.

"Fence all exits, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and violators will be killed."

Liu Xinting himself was stunned, where had he seen such a majestic army, this is really a person blocking and killing, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha...

Xingyang officials surrounded Zhengzhou Zhizhou, and entered the temple from the stairs under the mountain gate, one by one, Liu Xinting was suddenly a little afraid.

He looked back at the bottom of the mountain, and finally when he was about to turn his head, he saw a group of red-clothed knights coming in the distance, rushing like fire under the rising sun, his heart suddenly relaxed, his limbs were full of strength, and he turned his head and said, "Go!" ”

Yang Lin's guards dispersed the crowd and escorted him to his arrival, and more than a dozen corpses were erected in front of the mountain gate, all of which were trampled by horses.

A hint of anger rose faintly between Yang Lin's eyebrows, the will of the imperial court, the policies of the government, and the soldiers of the army, there are still people who dare to defy the law, and there are still people who are not convinced.

If you can't do it yourself, how much resistance will you have to face to implement the new policy locally?

I came to Xingyang in person, and some people dared to jump out to be demons, is it more difficult to cooperate with the new policy than to take their lives, if this is the case, I can't really take their dog's life.

Yang Lin rode a horse and walked to the steps of the mountain gate, overlooking the people who had not yet dispersed here.

He lightly raised his horsewhip and said slowly: "I am Yang Lin." ”

With a bang, the crowd, which had been quiet for a long time, erupted into a huge cheer, especially the scholars in Xingyang Academy.

Yang Lin pressed his hand, and the sound gradually stopped, and Yang Lin said loudly: "The law of the country is the law of the country and the foundation of the society. The imperial court formulates national laws, deters small people, rewards and punishes crimes, and is the foundation of the people's peaceful residence. If you can't save it, the country will not be a country, no one can protect your relatives and friends, and everyone is exposed to the danger of being violated. No one can get away with the legal system, including this Baiquan Temple, and what other temples, other gates, and all others. ”

"Those who defy the law will be punished!"

Yang Lin turned around, and walked towards the mountain gate amid the enthusiastic cheers of the scholars.

He tilted his head and said to Lu Qian: "Write down what I just said and send it to the General Administration." Let them embellish their rhetoric and spread it throughout the provinces, counties, and counties. ”

Although Lu Qian doesn't read poetry and books, he only knows words, but he has a very good memory, and he remembers many things after listening to them once.

Entering the mountain gate, the temple was already in chaos, and all the monks were escorted to the square, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers.

Xingyang officials led a team of new army soldiers to thoroughly search Baiquan Temple, move all the belongings out, and compare the title deeds one by one.

This investigation didn't matter, so that all the officials present opened their eyes, and the wealth of Baiquan Temple was far beyond their imagination.

"The ancient temple of the Han Dynasty is really worthy of its reputation..."Liu Xinting sneered again and again, the wealth of these people has exceeded his imagination.

Just by counting this meeting, there were already two million yuan, twenty boxes of gold, mountains of silver, and countless pearls and gems.

The farmland is not 3,000 hectares as reported by the outside world, but there are more than 900 hectares secretly, and many of the farmland that Yang Lin personally changed and cultivated near Bianliang is also in their names.

Liu Xinting was secretly speechless, but the officials around him were already excited, this money filled the local finances, not to mention the small things such as paving bridges and roads, expanding colleges, and repairing living and raising halls, we in Xingyang can dig up the Bianhe River again, and send all the old and unsupported widows and orphans to the living halls.

These are all real achievements, and now the officials of Xingyang are going to ascend to heaven collectively.

Just when everyone was amazed, Yang Lin walked over and saw the money all over the ground, and he was also a little distracted.

It's not that he hasn't seen so much money, it's just that he didn't expect to see so much money in the Buddha Hall.

In fact, many monasteries have their own basements.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain...

Whether it is a change of dynasty, natural or man-made disasters, the more turbulent and impoverished the time, the more countless people entrust their lives to the Buddha and donate their money to the Buddha in exchange for peace of mind.

Over the years, I don't know how much wealth I can accumulate, so whenever a ruthless person is in power, I want to make a difference but suffer from lack of money, and I often start with the monastery.

The most famous are the "Three Martial Artists to Destroy the Buddha" and Chai Rong to Destroy the Buddha, the three martial arts are the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu, the Northern Zhou Emperor Wudi, and the Tang Wuzong.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was especially powerful, in order to persuade Yu Wenyong not to "destroy the Buddha", the monk Huiyuan, who was a monk at that time, vigorously protested and said: "Your Majesty is relying on the power of the king today to destroy the Three Treasures (referring to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha), it is an evil person, no matter whether you are high or low, Your Majesty is not afraid?" Emperor Wu was furious when he heard this, and his eyes stared at Huiyuan: "As long as the people are happy, I am not afraid of going to hell!" ”

During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was not in the right position, although she killed all her relatives in her mother-in-law's family, and she was as vicious as a snake and scorpion, but she claimed to believe in Buddhism.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were nearly 5,000 large and medium-sized monasteries, more than 40,000 small temples, nearly 300,000 monks and nuns, and 150,000 temple slaves.

The problem is that these monasteries still occupy hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, forming one relatively closed manor after another, and the economic power within the monasteries is in the hands of the abbot.

Monks and nuns seldom cultivated, but relied on peasants to cultivate the monastic land to collect land rent and issue usury as a source of income, which allowed the monastic economy to swell rapidly, to the point that "ten of the world's wealth, and the Buddha has seven or eight". It can be said that the presiding officers of these temples have become soil emperors, and seven or eight cents of the world's wealth has flowed into Buddhism.

Chai Rong, a generation of British lords who are loved by thousands of historians, ordered the destruction of Buddhism, the prohibition of private monasticism, the abolition of more than 30,000 monasteries without a quota, the purchase of Buddha statues to cast money, so that the national strength has increased greatly, and provided financial and human support for its conquest of the world. At one time, it was necessary to recover Youyan, restore the homeland, and achieve prosperity.

After Yang Lin approached, Liu Xinting and others leaned up, Yang Lin sighed and said: "The Buddha is a good religion to help the world and persuade the good, but it is a pity that the monks' hearts are not all to the Buddha, but they have become a place to hide dirt and dirt, people who evade military service and labor; Adulterers abound. Under the privileges of tax exemption and land enjoyed by the temple itself, the temple concentrated a large amount of social wealth, which seriously endangered the development of the country's economy and became a tumor of the imperial court. ”

"Buddhism is not guilty, what is guilty is that these fake monks, who are sincerely indifferent to fame and fortune to the Buddha, and practice asceticism and cultivation, why do they need to collect money."

Everyone nodded again and again, and Yang Lin said: "The fake monks in the temple and above the temple, all those who manage finances, all push them out to the mountain gate to cut the decision, the Buddha is not clean, I will help the Buddha clean up the portal." Confiscate all the fields and properties of Baiquan Temple, write in my name, let the imperial court set up a new government office, manage Buddhism and Taoism, and set up collection points in all temples from now on. If there is a dilapidated temple and there is no way to make ends meet, the local government should also receive grain and rice. After a year of ordination, the monks should take the Dharma test, travel and turn their fortunes, persuade people to be kind, and go to the religious yamen of various prefectures along the way to seal and leave their seals, and those who fail to pass the rules will be expelled from the Buddhist gate. ”

Yang Yizhong instructed a few of his subordinates, and soon grabbed Zhile and the others and went outside the mountain gate.

Liu Xinting stepped forward and said, "Shaozai, there are a few gentry next." ”

"Let's go, go and clean up the law-abiding local tyrants and inferior gentry!"
