Although Gao Ming was smiling at this time, his heart was actually cloudy. Please search (@¥) to see the most complete! The fastest update

"Damn, Lao Tzu is a family, he is noble, and he has also come up with a land year limit, in order to prevent land annexation, and now these monks are good, and they actually became landlords under Lao Tzu's nose, which is really unbearable!"

There is a reason why Gao Ming is so angry, because Datang implements the government military system, and the biggest advantage of this system is that soldiers are also soldiers and farmers, and they go to fight when there is a war, and go back to farm when there is no war.

Li Shimin used such a system to feed the 600,000 Tang army without spending a penny.

However, in the late Tang Dynasty, because of the serious possession of land, the government military system existed in name only, and without soldiers, there was no land, so they could only rely on military governors from all over the country, and they were also temperate envoys to survive, and over time they formed a warlord separation.

Gao Ming will not allow such a thing to happen, so he will do everything possible to eliminate both land and land, so as to maintain the government and military system, after all, Datang's current finances are not enough to feed 600,000 troops.

Therefore, Gao Ming became more and more determined to clean up the Tang monks, but when he thought of the huge number of Tang monks, Gao Ming still felt a little tricky.

"This matter must be done step by step, and we must not be in a hurry, otherwise there will definitely be a big mess."

Gao Ming knows very well that the reason why the group of monks in the Tang Dynasty is so large today is because of the connivance of the royal family, and the most fundamental reason why the royal family is so indulgent to the monks is the need to rule.

The monks preach "retribution", which means that the suffering you have suffered in this life is because of the sins created in this life, and only when you have suffered enough in this life can you have a good life in the next life.

To put it bluntly, it is to make the people obedient, and this is exactly what the ruler needs.

In fact, the people of all dynasties, no matter how much they suffered, would not rebel, and only when they could not survive, they would choose to rebel, which can be said to be indispensable to the role of their monks.

The power of faith is very great, and it is for this reason that many emperors are very tolerant of monks.

However, Gao Ming disagrees with this, he thinks that this is a palliative rather than a cure.

In Gao Ming's view, instead of trying to make the people obedient, it is better to give them a good life, as long as the people's lives are good, they will not only not rebel, but will wholeheartedly support the country, this is the way to cure the symptoms and the root cause.

"Let the people believe in the country, not in the ethereal gods and Buddhas, this is the way to strengthen the country!"

With this in mind, after the banquet was dispersed, Gao Ming sent someone to call Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng to the East Palace and instructed them.

"Aki, you take the left cavalry guard to collect the title deeds and property of temples and Taoist temples all over the country, and post a notice that the four major monks are empty, and no monk is allowed to own land and property in the future!"

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" Hearing Gao Ming's command, Su Gan Chengji immediately agreed excitedly, and then turned around and left the East Palace.

After Su Gan Chengji left, Gao Ming looked at Zhang Sizheng again.

"Ah Zheng, you also take the right horse guard to paste notices all over the country, all monks must pass the assessment, otherwise they can't live in the temple, they can only be wandering monks or wandering Taoists!"

"Assessment?" Listening to Gao Ming's words, Zhang Sizheng suddenly frowned, and then arched his hand towards Gao Ming, "I don't know what the assessment His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said?" ”

Looking at Zhang Sizheng frowning, Gao Ming laughed.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's chanting scriptures or zazen, you can assess anything at will, I have only one purpose, which is to make 90% of the monks fail!"

"Uh......" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Sizheng immediately understood, he nodded immediately, and then saluted Gao Ming with a fist, and said: "The subordinates understand, the subordinates retire!" ”

"Go ahead!"

Looking at Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng who left the East Palace one after another, Gao Ming's face once again had a smile.

"With a two-pronged approach, it may be a little slower, but the problem should be resolved satisfactorily."

Gao Ming feels that a large part of the monks and Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty are lazy and hardworking, and this kind of people are not strong-willed and can't stand the life of eating and sleeping in the open, and they will definitely return to vulgarity when the time comes.

After solving the problem of the monks, Gao Ming suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, at this time he seemed to suddenly think of something, immediately sighed twice, and then walked towards Su Wan'er's house with a wicked smile.

Soon, Gao Ming came to the door of Su Wan'er's house, and then pushed the door with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Wan'er, I'm back...... Belch? ”

At this time, something unexpected happened to Gao Ming, because after he pushed the door, he found that he didn't push it open, so he frowned and pushed it again, but still didn't push it open.

"Who locked the door?" Thinking of this, Gao Ming stretched out his finger and knocked on the door twice, and then shouted inside: "Squire Jian, which of you is inside, come and open the door, I want to come in!" ”

Gao Ming was worried that he would wake up his daughter, so he shouted very quietly, and after waiting for a while, he found that there was still no movement inside, and he immediately frowned.

"Don't you hear? It's impossible! ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly came to the front of the window, poked a hole in the window paper with his finger, and then leaned in, looking into the room with one eye closed.

The first thing that caught Gao Ming's eye was the waiter standing next to the bed, at this time she was carrying a small bowl in one hand and covering her mouth with the other, her face full of nervousness.

In front of the waiter, it was Su Wan'er who was leaning on the head of the bed, and she saw that she was holding the child in her arms, but she was looking at the door nervously.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth suddenly twitched.

"They're guarding me like a thief!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly coughed dryly twice, "Ahem...... I've seen it all, put the bowl down now, and come and open the door for me!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, the waiter's eyes widened suddenly, and then he looked at Su Wan'er with a nervous face, and asked in a low voice, "Crown Princess, what should I do?" ”

"This ......" Looking at the nervous appearance of the waiter, Su Wan'er could only grit her teeth, and then said outside: "Langjun, the concubine is tired, you still let Sister Xin'er serve you!" ”

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming immediately grinned.

"Haha, it turns out that you are worried about this, don't worry, I don't want you to serve, I came in and hugged my baby girl, I promise to do nothing but this, come and open the door!"

Su Wan'er: "......"

Do nothing? The devil believes in you!
