300% of the profits, businessmen will risk killing their heads, using the old is even better than the business without capital, after all, just use the money to toss a few times to have a large profit, hearing Liu Xingben's worries, Yang Yong also smiled bitterly, comforted: "The Great Sui has unified the north, as long as the government at all levels strictly investigates and deals with it, and finds a case, the property will be confiscated, and the whole family will be filled with the army, which can deter most of the lawbreakers." ”

If it is according to Yang Yong's original intention, for the stability of the coin, it is not an exaggeration to cut off the whole family for the person who minted private money, at this time this move is not in line with the "Kaihuang Law", Yang Yong also personally participated in the compilation of the Kaihuang Law, so he naturally would not think about violating it.

"What the prince said is exactly that after a few years, when all the old money is gone, no matter how much the merchant wants to counterfeit, he will not be able to flow." The crown prince Zuoshu ordered Pei Zheng to answer.

Zhou Shi criminal law was lenient and strict, especially during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Zhou for more than two years, first he gave amnesty to all criminals in the world regardless of reason, and then he made a slight mistake to the minister and waited with a big stick, and the people were even more at a loss......

Pei Zheng is over eighty years old, after several dynasties, familiar with the allusions of the previous generations, familiar with the way of governance, when the "Kaihuang Law" was compiled, all the difficult places were ruled by Pei Zheng, he is naturally familiar with the "Kaihuang Law".

The new law stipulates that the death penalty is only two classes: hanging and beheading, the death penalty is three degrees from 2,000 to 3,000 li, and the sentence is five degrees from one year to three years.

The banknotes of later generations are also fake, but as long as they are controlled within a certain range, it doesn't matter much, Liu Xingben mentioned private money, but it made Yang Yong think of another thing that would make the copper material insufficient. That is, Buddhism and Taoism have risen in an all-round way across the country.

Before Emperor Wu banned Buddhism, one-tenth of the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty consisted of monks and nuns. Composed of Taoist priests, these people were all ordered by Emperor Wu to return to the world, and it was only two years when Emperor Xuan lifted the ban, and there were 100,000 monks and nuns in the country again.

After Yang Jian ascended to the pole, he issued an edict to let the people of Li become monks, and ordered to pay according to the population to build Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues. When Emperor Wu was beaten, everyone shouted and beaten, and when Emperor Xuan was banned, it has now become a whole country advocating Buddhism. There are dozens or hundreds of times more folk Buddhist books than the "Six Classics".

Although China is a copper-poor country. But in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, there was actually no shortage of copper use, at that time, the army of the seven kingdoms of the Warring States totaled more than 2 million, all of which used bronze weapons. The ropes that wear money are rotten, plus vassal states. In the hands of the people. Copper coins cannot be counted. Now, hundreds of years later, copper ore has been mined in successive dynasties. Instead, it is strange to use silk and silk instead of copper coins to circulate.

If it is the economy, the population will increase significantly, and the demand for copper coins will of course increase, but now the population of the northern and southern dynasties combined is not comparable to the heyday of the Han Dynasty, where did so much copper go, the answer is very simple, all into the bottomless pit of Buddhism and Taoism.

Although Buddhism was introduced into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there was no great prosperity, it had little impact on the country, after the two Jin Dynasty, the five chaotic China, in the killing poke of the year, the people were miserable, they had to indulge in the next life, Buddhism was greatly prosperous, Du Mu composed a poem later: "Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. "In fact, there are more than 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, plus the Northern Dynasty, and the temples in the world are probably more than 10,000.

So many temples will consume how much copper, as long as a calculation will be frightening, a few meters high Buddha, with copper moving tens of thousands of catties, large temples, monks used to cast Buddha statues of copper even up to hundreds of thousands of catties, has always the weight of the money is only four catties and two taels, which means that a temple may consume more than 100,000 copper money materials, after Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha, in order to unify the country, once the temple is re-established, how much money can not fill this bottomless pit. Eventually, it will be turned into copper juice and cast into Buddha statues by monks.

However, as soon as Yang Yong mentioned this issue, even Fei Zheng, who has gone through several dynasties, is familiar with the allusions of the previous generation, and knows the way of governing the old minister has no words, and now the emperor and queen all believe in Buddhism, not only do not prohibit it, but encourage the spread of Buddhism, and the great prosperity of Buddhism is unstoppable, and naturally no one touches the emperor and the queen.

Yang Jian issued an edict to allow the people of Li to become monks, and ordered to pay according to the population, to build Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, Yang Yong had fiercely opposed, although Buddhism has the role of guiding people to good, may play a stabilizing role in the long-term stability of the court, but the long-term stability of his land is based on the weakening of the national strength and the cowardice of the people, more like a cancer, in Yang Yong's view, although there is no need to use such drastic means as Emperor Wu of Zhou to prohibit, but there is no need to encourage.

Yang Jian firmly believes in Buddhism, in addition to growing up in the nunnery, there is another history, more than 40 years ago, Emperor Wei Wen knew that he was alone, and the country would be taken away by Yuwen, and suddenly remembered to maintain his rule with the help of foreign aid, and sent people to Sangran to ask to marry Princess Rouran as his wife, and Rouran Khan replied simply: as long as Wei Tianzi abolished the original queen, he agreed to marry his daughter.

Emperor Wei Wen had no choice but to abolish the queen Yi Fu and welcome Princess Rouran as the queen. Princess Rouran was extremely jealous, and Yi Fu had already fallen into Maiji Cliff as a nun, and she still didn't let go, forcing Emperor Wen to give Yi Fu to death. At that time, Yi Fu was nine months pregnant, and when she committed suicide, she was grief-stricken, and she cried to the unborn prince: "Son, you are the prince, and you want to be the emperor, but your mother mistook you." If you have a spirit, go to the house that has the power to protect you as the emperor and be reincarnated! ”

At that time, the nun beside the abolished queen was the nun who later raised Yang Jian to the age of thirteen, and she told Yang Jian: After Yi Fu's death, she saw with her own eyes an auspicious cloud rising from the body of the abolished family, and it floated away. She hurriedly followed the auspicious clouds, until the sky above Feng Xu's Panruo Temple, the auspicious clouds suddenly shone with ten thousand golden lights, and a new baby was born, this baby was Yang Jian.

Yang Jian hid this in his heart, until he became the prime minister, he revealed this experience, and won the favor of the former Wei royal family, Yang Jian narrowly escaped death because of rumors several times, and finally became the emperor, as if there was really a god and Buddha in the underworld, Yang Jian did not believe it, Yang Yong's persuasion could only touch a nose of ash.

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Yang Yong had to change the topic and himself

He couldn't persuade the emperor, and he couldn't count on these ministers in the prince's mansion to go, so Yang Yongcai said to Yang Shi beside him: "Please come over Mr. Zhang Qiu." ”

"Yes." After Yang Shi went down, Zhang Qiu Taiyi came to the hall after a while. He saluted Yang Yong: "Prince, what is the matter with the old man?" ”

Yang Yong raised his hand: "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Qiu Taiyi sat down unceremoniously. Since that day Zhang Qiu Taiyi told Li Yuan a fortune, Yang Yong subconsciously alienated him, Zhang Qiu Taiyi is white, free to come and go in the East Palace, and he doesn't care about Yang Yong's snubbing, often not in the house for several days, and now when it comes to Buddhism, Yang Yong has to ask Zhang Qiu Taiyi again. Throwing the previous question out.

Zhang Qiu looked at him too widely: "The prince wants to restrict Buddhism? ”

"Yes, Buddhism does not produce and occupies a lot of land. It also melted copper to cast Buddha, so that the court copper coins were not enough. It is not conducive to the economic development of the court, if it is prosperous, it is not the wealth of the court. Yang Yong said calmly.

Zhang Qiu Taiyi is a warlock, and Xindi is naturally Taoism, since Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, Taoism and Buddhism have been in dispute. During the Han and Liang Jin periods. Taoism relied on Benshi to fight. Occupy an absolute advantage, after the chaos of China. Buddhism was supported by various Hu regimes, and Taoism was suppressed and suddenly weakened in the north.

Although Emperor Wu of Zhou banned religion, but it was aimed at Buddhism, Taoism got a respite, Emperor Wu died in just a few years after destroying Buddhism, it was too late to eradicate the foundation of Buddhism, in the north, Buddhism still has an overwhelming advantage over Taoism, and now the emperor is obviously biased towards Buddhism, Zhang Qiu Taiyi is willing to go out of the mountain to assist the court is to use the power of the court to revitalize Taoism, hearing that Yang Yong does not like Buddhism, his heart is suddenly overjoyed.

"What does the prince think of Taoism?" Zhang Qiu Taiyi still has doubts in his heart, of course it is a good thing that the prince has the heart to restrict Buddhism, but if he is like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he orders all monks to return to the world, and it will inevitably affect the pond fish.

"In fact, this palace has no prejudice against the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, the Buddha guides people to be good, the Tao is natural, and the unity of heaven and man can cleanse the hearts of the people, but it is too much, if everyone enters the Buddha, who will cultivate the land, protect the country and defend the family, and reproduce children and grandchildren? If everyone is enlightened, how can human beings make progress, and will they not have to drink blood all the time? ”

Yang Yong's words did not mean to be biased towards the Taoist sect at all, Zhang Qiu Taiyi's eyes lit up, now the Buddha is prosperous and declining, if the next generation of monarchs can be impartial, it is rare: "The prince has this wish, the old man should help the prince, but now the emperor believes in Buddhism, the prince should not be in a hurry, and he can do it slowly." ”

Yang Yong didn't expect Zhang Qiu Taiyi to come up with a way at once, otherwise the Daomen would not have declined so much in the north, and now the court is lightly taxed, although Buddhism is liberalized, but it is impossible to develop to the peak of the land before Emperor Wu of Zhou banned the Buddha, although Buddhism has all kinds of benefits, you can avoid taxes, but you must abandon your wife and children, most people will not easily escape into the empty door until they can't live. can only be as Zhang Qiu Taiyi said, slowly drawing it.

Compared with the old money, the newly minted five coins are much better than the previous copper coins, whether it is the color or the pattern, and when the court pushes out the new money, the people quickly accept the new money, and it immediately becomes in short supply, and the old money in various places is also replaced by the new money.

The new money issued made up for the deficit in the treasury, and the establishment of Daxing City became smooth, and Yang Yong was indeed rewarded by the emperor. The Great Sui monarchs and ministers began to make great efforts.

After the summer harvest, Liang Yanguang, the assassin of Qizhou, made outstanding achievements in governance, and ranked first in the household registration, land reclamation and taxation reported to the imperial court, Yang Jian was very happy, issued an edict to praise him, and rewarded him with a bouquet of silk silk and an umbrella to encourage the officials of the world. Not long after, Liang Yanguang was transferred to Xiangzhou Assassin History.

After the demise, Yang Su was going to move most of the people to the border pass, after being stopped by Yang Yong, he moved some of the wealthy families for many years to Guanzhong, the city only left merchants, happy households and handicraftsmen, the people are not as pure as the state, most people are flexible, Liang Yanguang is still inactive, the people have hidden their household registration, evade taxes, Liang Yanguang is also called "hat" by the city people, which means that Liang Yanguang is not empty to wear an official hat.

Liang Yanguang's nickname spread to the court, Yang Jian was furious, dismissed Liang Yanguang, and recalled him to the capital, however, seeing Liang Yanguang's achievements in Qizhou, Yang Jian did not remove Liang Yanguang, but wanted to re-order him to be the history of another state, but Liang Yanguang asked to be the assassin of Xiangzhou again.

Yang Jian agreed to him, Xiangzhou local heroes and cunning officials heard that Liang Yanguang came to Xiangzhou again, and sneered at Liang Yanguang, after Liang Yanguang arrived in Xiangzhou, he changed the previous inaction and ruled, ordered the officials to punish lawlessness, tried cases, and knew things like gods, for those who deliberately concealed and did not report, and evaded taxes, all of them were sent to the border gates, and the atmosphere in Xiangzhou suddenly changed greatly, and taxes also rose again.

Xinfeng County Commander Fang Gongyi, political achievements for the first of the three auxiliaries, in the Yongzhou counties to meet the emperor, Yang Jian called Fang Gongyi to the chair, rewarded with corn silk, and asked him to govern the people's strategy, first dialed for Dezhou Sima, and then promoted to Haizhou Thorn History.

Cui Changren, the governor of the capital, should be beheaded for breaking the law, but Cui Changren is a relative of the queen, Yang Jian is a little undecided, and wants to avoid Cui Changren's death, Dugu strongly persuaded the emperor: "The affairs of the country can be taken care of!" Cui Changren was then beheaded......

The emperor's rewards and punishments are clear, in just one year, the Great Sui has been prosperous, and the envoys who happened to be sent to the Southern Dynasty to hang their servants, Yuan Hui and Tang Duke Li Yuan, have returned and brought back Chen Shubao's book.

Yang Jian was very modest in his letter to Nan Chen, claiming to be by name, and there were two words at the end, but Chen Shubao's reply was very arrogant, with a condescending tone, and he also wrote at the end: If the governance within the jurisdiction of the Great Sui is appropriate, the whole country will be clean and stable.

Yang Jian announced Chen Shubao's reply in the court, and the military generals of Wenchen were immediately very dissatisfied with Nan Chen, and the servant Yuan Hui and Tang Duke Li Yuan spoke out about Nan Chen's contemptuous attitude towards the envoys of the Great Sui in the court, and everyone was even more angry, and all the ministers were a crusade against Nan Chen.
