Chapter 531: Turning the Original Soup into Original Food
The monk didn't even look back, but replied, "You don't care what sutras it recites, and in two quarters of an hour, the temple will send you a fast, and after eating the fast, you can go back to your own house." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yang Guang pretended to be surprised and asked again: "What kind of monks are you, only eating and not chanting?" ”
The monk glanced back at Yang Guang at this time, and saw that he was not the same person as him, so he stretched out his hand disdainfully and pointed to the bald monks and nuns in the alley, and said to Yang Guang: "You see, these thousands of people come every day to wait for the temple to send a fast, and then go back to their respective homes, what's so strange?" ”
"Listening to you, even you, the thousands of people sitting in this alley are locals? Good manners, why do you want to become monks? ”
"You little brother, dare to come to Bingzhou, right?" The monk was impatient with Yang Guang's question, looked him up and down, and deliberately made things difficult for him, "I am standing in this big sun, my mouth is dry, how can I have the leisure to answer your many questions?" If you are sincere, you can invite me to the restaurant over there for two bowls of drink, and I will tell you more about it from the beginning. ”
Yang Guang didn't expect that someone would knock on a bamboo pole in the territory under his jurisdiction, he felt both angry and funny, and was about to speak, but he heard a low voice in his ear and said: "Lord Wang, take a step to speak." When he looked back, he saw that Li Che was standing behind him at some point.
Yang Guang understood that Li Che was not worried that he would stand in the crowd for a long time, so he nodded at him, followed him out of the crowd, and returned to Wang Shao and Zhang Heng.
"Lord Wang, do you want to send someone to the temple to inform Master Huilin and ask him to come to see the prince?" Zhang Heng saw that it was impossible for the monks and nuns who were sitting in the streets and alleys to enter the Daxingguo Temple for a while, so he asked Yang Guang's opinion.
"These people come to the temple gate every day at noon to take a scene, and they will disperse in the afternoon, if the prince wants to enter the Daxingguo Temple today, you might as well be accompanied by me, first find a place nearby, and then enter the temple after dinner." Wang Shao also suggested.
"No need. Send someone to invite Master Hui Lin to Jinyang Palace, and you can return to Jinyang Palace with this king now. Yang Guang seemed to have come up with a countermeasure in his heart, turned around and raised his legs and left.
Wang Shao and the others followed Yang Guang back to Jinyang Palace, and the four of them hastily ate in the main hall before they saw Master Huilin coming with a sweat.
"Master, from tomorrow onwards, let's withdraw the temple ** for the monks and nuns who have recently entered the temple." Yang Guang was also different from Master Huilin, and opened his mouth to give him an order.
Monk Huilin knew that as a monk and eunuch in Hebei, during the period when Yang Guang returned to the dynasty, he failed to cooperate closely with the Xingtai Government Office to stop the momentum of accepting monks and nuns in various temples in time, which made Yang Guang dissatisfied with himself, and explained with a smile: "The prince does not know, there is not only one temple in Daxingguo Temple, but the poor monks have sent a message to the abbots of various temples a few days ago, and all the fasting meals provided to the monks and nuns who have recently entered the temple must be collected by the abbots of each temple from those who instruct their own slaves and customers to become monks. It is forbidden to use the goods supplied by the imperial court to the temples to buy food to feed these people. ”
"Oh? I can't imagine that the master also knows how to workaround! Yang Guang was amused by Monk Hui Lin's tricks, the smile on his face flashed, and he said to Hui Lin with a straight face, "Just using the method of turning the original soup into the original food is not enough to force these wealthy families to obey." This king went to the gate of Daxingguo Temple today, and came up with a method temporarily, and he still had to ask Master Huilin to preside over the implementation. ”
"Where is the duty of the poor monk, how dare you refuse? Lord Wang, please command. Monk Hui Lin clasped his palms together and said.
"According to Zhang Shangshu's report to me, in the past two months, most of the newly accepted monks and nuns in temples around the country have been slaves and customers of the local family's wealthy family.
Monk Hui Lin thought about it seriously and shook his head.
"So, has the master completed the monk registration for the hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns who have recently entered the monastery to practice?" Yang Guang stared at Hui Lin and asked again.
"Because according to the imperial decree, all those who become monks are exempted from the annual taxes paid to the imperial court by the imperial court, and the poor monks do not dare to make decisions on their own, and apply for monk registration for these many people, intending to follow the prince's orders after explaining the truth to the prince." Hui Lin replied calmly.
"That's good, that's good." Yang Guang praised again and again, "I want the master to come forward and inform these family members who have instructed their servants and customers to become monks and nuns in the name of the monks and nuns in Hebei Province that they must set aside the corresponding acres of land from their names according to the number of slaves and customers in the family and become monks and nuns to donate to the local temples as assets for the local temples to support these monks and nuns." Those who can't donate their land in accordance with the standards set by the temple, the Hebei monks and supervisors will not handle the monk registration for them, I don't know if this is good? ”
Before Monk Huilin could speak, Wang Shao had already questioned Yang Guang on the side: "Lord Wang, the reason why Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty destroyed the Buddha was because at that time there were three acres of land in the world, and the temple property occupied two of them, which led to the fact that the imperial court taxes could not make ends meet. Now the prince wants to use this method to prevent the family from evading paying taxes to the imperial court by instructing his servants and customers to enter the temple as monks. ”
Monk Hui Lin also nodded frequently when he heard this, agreeing with what Wang Shao said.
Yang Guang had a temporary idea, and only then did he come up with such a method that was not a way to deal with the wealthy right of the family, but he didn't expect that the imperial court had already made a precedent that no taxes would be levied on all temple properties and temple properties.
Zhang Heng thought for a while, then stepped forward, and suggested with a smile: "Wang Servant, Master Huilin, the method that the prince just said may not work. Although the imperial court explicitly ordered that no taxes be levied on temple property, it did not prohibit temples from donating grain and rice to the imperial court. Moreover, if you act according to this law, one can prevent the family from directing his servants and guests to enter the temple as monks; Second, even if these wealthy families donated the corresponding land to the local temple, when they found that this was no different from the number of people truthfully declared to the imperial court, most of them would try their best to instruct their servants and customers to return to the customs and take back the previously donated land. ”
Yang Guang was encouraged and plucked by Zhang Heng, and he came to the spirit, looked at Monk Huilin with burning eyes, and said loudly: "According to the standard of the imperial court to grant Dingkou Guantian, the family Hao right to donate acres of land to the temple, as the king expected, this alone is enough to make these family Hao right dispel the original idea, hundreds of thousands of newly ordained monks and nuns can stay one stop in ten stops, which is already very good." ”
