Chapter 70: Gossip about the Buddha's Way

Time always flies when it's leisurely. The cicadas in the courtyard came, making people feel irritable for a while, and Lu Hanyang had to directly condense a sword qi to kill all the cicadas in the courtyard.

"Immortal Master, hurry up and save Xiao Wu!" Xiao Wu's girl, what's going on? At this point, Lu Hanyang had to admire the energy of this little girl.

In the afternoon, the two little girls were in the courtyard to contact the immortal arts, which consumed a lot of materials, but the control became more and more proficient. In the end, sure enough, the two little girls were proficient in this fairy spell and smiled brightly.

It's just that the two little girls are also sweating profusely, after all, it's still early July, and the whole weather is the hottest time, even if you stay still, you feel uncomfortable, let alone run like this.

"What's wrong? Xiao Wu? Lu Hanyang heard Li Liqing's plea for help, and immediately passed. I just relaxed for a while, what happened to these two little girls?

"Xiao Wu has diarrhea, I've had diarrhea several times in a while, is it something bad?" Li Li said anxiously.

"No, we all eat the same meal at noon, and we are all together in the afternoon, how can it be!" Lu Hanyang thought about it for a while and felt that it was unlikely. In this Eight Scenery Palace, you can't help but eat meat, so every meal is very good.

Although it is said that the Eight Views Palace does not collect sesame oil money now, and the previous ones that were collected have also been returned, but the few that were installed in the Eight Views Palace at the beginning did not have that kind of treatment, and even compensated a lot in the end.

After all, Bajing Palace is definitely not short of money, and it can even be regarded as a wealthy household around Chang'an City. Because of the shortcut around Yushan, thousands of acres of fertile land were assigned by Li Er to the Eight Views Palace as a field property.

These can be rented as long as they are rented to those tenants. And the tenant rent given by Lu Hanyang can be described as extremely low, as long as 20%.

This is a great kindness, because the good between the landlord and the tenant is five or five points, and the harsh one is six or four, and the landlord accounts for six points. And like those generals in the court, most of their tenants are family members of their own subordinates, so they are divided into four or six.

This is already a reward for taking care of their own tribes, plus they are not lacking in those grains in the main family.

But who has ever seen that the main family accounts for only 20% of the 28 points? But 20% of 1,000 acres of fertile land can be regarded as 200 acres, and he is only twenty or thirty people in Bajing Palace, and the grain in 200 acres of land is not enough to eat? More than enough.

Therefore, Lu Hanyang didn't care about this, and directly made a stipulation, in the future, all the Taoist land and property will be collected by this rent, and if anyone collects too much, then he will knock on the door if he knows it.

This is also Lu Hanyang's restraint on his own behavior, after all, his appearance has made Taoist priests a relatively special class in the Tang Dynasty, there were originally monks and they clamped each other down, but now monks are not as good as Taoist priests at all, and because of Lu Hanyang's myth, the monk has become a traitor.

The entire Tang Taoist Temple is much higher than the temple, and the imperial court also began to suppress Buddhism at this time, and directly confiscated several big Buddha temples. It was found out that there were armor blades hidden in the temple, and suddenly the bald donkey of the Buddhist gate was killed.

In the early Tang Dynasty, because the world was in the ascendant, it was very taboo for these military weapons at this time, and private individuals were absolutely not allowed to hide these things. The government soldiers are all registered, and Tang Wude's law even clearly stipulates that if you make armor privately, you can be sentenced to prison with a pair of armor, and you will be exiled for 2,000 miles.

After half a year of cleaning, more than 30,000 armor were found in the monk's temple, and there were more than 30,000 homeless people who had been ordained without permission.

Where did these people, and the armor, and so on, come from? Of course, when the world was in turmoil before, these suffered defeats and couldn't live, of course, they went to the temple to shave their heads, and they directly became outsiders, and Buddhism also has money and land.

These people found out that it was better to be a monk than to be a soldier and eat food and farm at home. So basically, when you leave home, no one wants to return to the vulgar. The temple also has a large amount of land, and in ordinary times, it accumulates money and food, and in disaster years, it comes forward to buy other people's land.

So there are more and more fields in the monastery, and there is more and more money, which is the accumulation of hundreds of years. Let them live a much better life than the common people.

The people are still yellow-skinned and thin, but except for the real ascetics, the rest of these monks are ruddy and shiny. Are they really blessed by the Buddha? No, it was the countless money, food, and fields accumulated by their ancestors, monks, so that they could eat enough and dress warmly.

However, this kind of thing has been completely copied in the past half a year, and the monk has now become synonymous with scum in Datang. Because all the monks' affairs were exposed by Li Er's openness: he directly posted the emperor's list, announcing all kinds of fraud in the Buddhist temples in the world, and all kinds of dirt and dirt.

Suddenly, the Buddha gate was pure, and it completely became a dirty place for the Buddha gate. Those virtuous monks were all looked at with contempt by the people, and they had no face to see people. Of course, there are real monks in Buddhism, which is also where Lu Hanyang admires Li Er.

On the one hand, a stick was beaten down, so that Buddhism suffered heavy losses, on the other hand, it was also praised by name in the imperial list, those who did not go along with the same stream, and set an example: Xuanzang of Luoyang Pure Land Temple, Daoxin of White Horse Temple, Tanyin of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and Jiaye of Emei Jinguang Temple were praised by Li Er.

With such a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, Li Er's use of the furnace was perfect, and the Buddhism Gate was half-crippled at once, but it also made those bald donkeys of the Buddhism Gate express that they had to thank His Majesty the Great and Wise Emperor.

And the Taoist side is the same, but it is true that the Taoists do it themselves. The main reason is that Li Er gave Lu Hanyang face, so he directly let Lu Hanyang make the decision. And Lu Hanyang directly sent Li Chunfeng out.

This Taoist priest who studies arithmetic and astronomical phenomena is indeed very talented, and this matter is handed over to him, and Li Chunfeng directly visited Louguan Dao, Quanzhen Dao, Heavenly Master Dao and other sects.

Later, many of these Taoist sects returned to the world, and then received fields at the foot of the mountain, and many Taoist temples suddenly rose with puffs of smoke, and countless people obtained land ownership around the Taoist temples.

In short, in this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism won in reputation, at least no one was publicized on a large scale. And Buddhism ended up with a disrepute.

This situation caused Xuanzang to directly ask for a trip to the west to learn scriptures after Li Er praised him: Since Mahayana Buddhism was transmitted to Tianzhu in the West by His Majesty's ancestor Laozi Li Er, then we Tang monks must go and get back the law of the sage.

This made Li Er speechless, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the first year of Zhenguan, on the day of the Qixi Festival, he let Xuanzang go west. A man and a horse, a bowl, a monk's robe, and nothing else.
