Chapter Ninety-Five: Public Opinion

Early the next morning, the whole Chang'an City suddenly became noisy, and there was a big notice in front of each billboard, which roughly meant that Qinglong Temple disobeyed the imperial court, hindered the imperial court from building a school, deprived the common people of learning, and seriously violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

"What the hell is going on!"

"Who knows? How to disobey the will of the imperial court in Qinglong Temple, and what kind of comprehensive school is built, saying that it contains schools that can improve the material conditions of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and also said that after its establishment, it will train the children of the people and teach them professional crafts, and the imperial court will give them a certain official position, and they can become officials without participating in scientific examinations. A young man in rough linen clothes looked at the notice board and said lightly to everyone.

"There is such a good thing that you don't need to participate in the imperial examination to be able to become an official?"

"How do I know this, but it does say that after graduating from school, the court will arrange a position." The youth said.

"What else is there, young man?" A strong man he didn't know asked.

"That's all, I don't read a lot of books, and I can only know a rough idea." The young man said with a slight embarrassment.

"Let me explain." It was a teenager who came from the crowd and shouted loudly.

"The approximate meaning of this holy decree is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today asked Daoist Yuan Tiangang to help divination, select a piece of feng shui treasure, and build a comprehensive college, what is a comprehensive college, the comprehensive college is to include all aspects, which teaches students all kinds of knowledge, just like the road built outside our Chang'an City, the cement used is also included in it, anyway, there are many of them, all of them are obtained by His Royal Highness the Prince from the gods. After all, it is about the welfare of all the people in the Tang Dynasty, so Yuan Daochang did not dare to be careless, after many times of divination, the results obtained, but the group of monks in Qinglong Temple did not agree, His Royal Highness the Prince was afraid that the people would cause any misunderstanding, in fact, he was worried that this group of monks would instigate the people to make trouble, so His Majesty did not ask His Majesty to issue a holy decree to inform the people. ”

"I see, but they are all monks, don't they pay attention to compassion, how can they hinder the vitality of the people?"

At this time, another young man stood up and shouted loudly: "I know about this matter, but I can't guarantee whether it's true or not, I also heard that a cousin from afar of mine said it, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should investigate how many monks there are in Chang'an City, and they deliberately embarrassed this group of people because they offended this group of people." It seems that the prince counted the monks in the temple, and the final result was that there were more than 30,000 monks in Chang'an City alone. This makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry, and everyone also knows that the former Sui Dynasty fought every year, and the people of my Chinese land were not able to make a living, and nine of the ten rooms were empty. Although the world is peaceful now, the number of people has not yet reached 30 million, and there are 30,000 monks and nuns in Chang'an City, what about other places? ”

"Everyone also knows that people marry wives and have children, and only when there are more people can the Tang Dynasty prosper, but no one can prosper at all, everyone goes to become a monk, isn't it going to kill me in China, and the monks don't produce, what do these people eat and drink? Not relying on the sesame oil money on the people, more than 30,000 monks in Chang'an City know how much the expenses of this day are? If these monks all marry wives and have children, how many people do you say will appear in Datang within 100 years? If they are sincere to the Buddha, it will be fine, but how many of them can really devote themselves to the Buddha? ”

All the onlookers at the scene frowned slightly, feeling that what they said was right, if they all ran away to become monks, who would pass on the ancestry? The Chinese people's thinking is still very conservative, and they have always followed the ideas of the older generation, giving birth to sons is to pass on the lineage, and the second is to increase the labor force for the family, even if it is changed to modern times, the main responsibility of giving birth to a son is to pass on the bloodline, otherwise people live for a lifetime, what is the purpose of hard work? It's not that I'm lucky enough to earn a little more family business for my son in the future.

"These foreign teachings are not good things, I want us to cut off our children and grandchildren!" An old man shouted angrily.

"Yes! This group of bald donkeys is really not a thing, obviously wants us to cut off our children and grandchildren, this is not easy to raise my son and daughter with a handful of and urine, this ran to be a monk and nun, how can we old people live! An old lady cried out loudly.

“…………”

“……”

Li Shen stood at the edge of the crowd and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the old man and aunt who were acting and the passionate young man, this scene is estimated to be the actor, and he has to bow down.

"Brother, what's the matter, I've found these people pretty well, right?" Li Chongyi said proudly.

"Yes, I'll go back and reward you with a chicken leg."

"Chicken legs? Brother, you're stingy, aren't you? In any case, he will also reward Wan'er with eight thousand taels of gold. Li Chongyi said.

Li Shen glanced at him and said, "I know that my mouth is poor all day long, and I have to take credit for doing something, look at Huaiyu and their way to you?" ”

Li Chongyi said "hehe" a few times and said, "No matter how you say it, you have to take some luck." ”

"It's okay, go to Qinglong Temple, I want to see what tricks these bald donkeys play." Li Shen said coldly.

"Brother Qian, you don't really have to bombard Qinglong Temple, do you?" Cheng Chumo asked in a low voice.

"What do you say if they don't know each other?" Li Shen said.

Returned to the hotel, changed the armor, Li Shen and the others boarded the horse and galloped directly to the Qinglong Temple, along the way were the people rushing to the Qinglong Temple, Li Shen did not expect that the small Qinglong Temple caused an uproar in the morning.

People have not yet arrived at the Qinglong Temple, they heard the noisy noise accompanied by the sound of neat chanting, the gate of the Qinglong Temple gathered thousands of monks sitting cross-legged on the ground and kept chanting, the orange robe draped on the body blinded everyone's eyes, the distance is extremely strict, people can not be inviolable, can't help but make people want to worship the impulse.

Fifteen cannons lined up in the direction of Qinglong Temple, and heavy troops surrounded the entire Qinglong Temple.

"Tsk, these bald donkeys are really rich, these clothes are all the hard-earned money of his mother's people, and they are merciful, I~~~" Li Chongyi sat on the back of the horse and scolded in a low voice.

"Go ahead, Qin Huaiyu and Gu shouted over." Li Shen said.

"Huaiyu, Huaiyu, here, here?" Li Chongyi stretched out his hand and shouted loudly, looking at Li Shen's somewhat chilled eyes, he made two hehes, jumped off the horse, and wrinkled at Qin Huaiyu who was standing at the gate.
