How could a person like Wei Boyang, who is devoted to the Tao, be tempted by Liu Hong. After all, this is a real and visible hope for enlightenment. Therefore, he directly "sold" himself to Liu Hong.

Of course, Liu Hong can't treat him badly. The cabinet is named, and the college opens majors, which are indispensable. However, because of the chemical experiment, it can be regarded as a dangerous business, and if you don't get it right, it will explode. Therefore, Liu Hong asked Wei Boyang to choose a site in the suburbs, and specially built another college for him, so that he could go outside the city to tinker.

After all this, Liu Hong went to find Liu Qian. After all, the time is not short, and he wants to see if Liu Qi has finished formulating the plan for the religious reform. If it was done, he would quickly summon all the religious people to settle the matter once and for all.

Speaking of which, the Government Council is just east of Nangong, but at such a close distance, Liu Hong, a lazy guy, has never been here. Therefore, when Liu Qian saw Liu Hong appear in the Government Affairs Yuan, he was so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, what kind of incense wind blew you to the Government Council?"

"What's the fragrance! It's not like Uncle Huang, you haven't sent me the plan for the religious reform for so many days, so I can only come and get it myself in a hurry. ”

"Oh, this plan has just been worked out." As he spoke, Liu Qian handed a document on the table to Liu Hong, "Weichen was thinking about sending it to His Majesty just now, but I didn't expect His Majesty to come by himself." ”

"How good is this, isn't it saving Uncle Huang's business?" While joking, Liu Hong turned over the plan.

"Monks, regardless of monkhood, must be approved by the imperial court, and a degree certificate must be issued to prove their identity. There is no one who has done it. That is, it is a black household, and it needs to be reformed through labor. Seeing this, Liu Hong applauded loudly, "Not bad!" In this way, the imperial court was able to control the number of monks. We will not let too many monks have an impact on society. ”

"Once a monk is ordained, regardless of the monk's path, he will be deemed to have voluntarily given up his property. All of his property was distributed to his parents, wives and children as compensation for his ordination. "Look at this. Liu Hong also kept nodding.

And then look down, it's all about restricting monasticism. Either the monks were allowed to support themselves, or they restricted the monasteries and Taoist monasteries from owning too much land and property, paying the same taxes as ordinary people, and so on.

All of these were put forward by Liu Hong. Let the Council enact. After all, there is a lesson in the afterlife, because the monasteries are tax-free. As a result, they bought large quantities of land to collect rent. Let the tax revenue of the imperial court be greatly reduced. In the end, he had to be ruthless to destroy the Buddha, causing great turmoil in society. It is impossible for Liu Hong not to prevent such hidden dangers in advance.

"Yes, everything that should be formulated has been formulated."

Liu Hong looked at these terms, and they were really formulated in detail. Not only did it make various regulations for monks, monasteries, and Taoist temples. Even pilgrims have rules. The money for sesame oil offered at one time can only be one money. It doesn't matter if it's a five-baht coin, or a silver or gold coin. Anyway, you can only worship one at a time. In the end, what currency the believer wants to worship depends on his own economic strength. And once it is violated, the temple or Taoist temple is severely punished.

In this way, it is impossible for the temple and Taoist temple to raise a large amount of money. And without money, even if they have some bad ideas, they can't afford to implement them.

However, although the imperial court wants to prevent hidden dangers, it will not be too harsh on those monks who sincerely seek enlightenment. After all, if it is too harsh, it will be impossible for the monks to comply with it, and then the meaning of making this plan will be lost.

Therefore, the basic livelihood of the monks must be guaranteed. For example, the land for temples and Taoist temples, and the construction of these, as long as they are approved by the imperial court, will be allocated by the imperial court and built at the expense of the imperial court. Moreover, each monk also owns 10 acres of tax-free land, which allows them to ensure their basic livelihood. As for necessities such as daily necessities and clothing, as long as the monks are registered, the imperial court will give them some subsidies. In this way, the monks will be able to cultivate with peace of mind.

Now that the regulations have been formulated, it is certainly impossible for Liu Hong to delay any longer. Anyway, all those religious people have already arrived. Therefore, he immediately sent a notification, and on the third day, he officially summoned those who were monastic.

Time flies, three days are fleeting. Early in the morning, Liu Hong met with those well-known monks in the main hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should have heard by now. The main reason why I have invited you here to discuss the matter of the Reformation is that someone beat the drum of Dengwen and told me the royal writ. Suing the Taiping Road, rampant lawlessness, demagoguery. Liu Hong looked at those cultivators and continued: "As for the complaint, it will be resolved later, so let's not mention him for now." But through this incident, I know that the various sects are really quite chaotic now. In order for the various sects to develop smoothly and to make it easier for the imperial court to manage, I invited everyone to discuss a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Don't look at what Liu Hong said politely, but those who cultivate the Tao, what is Liu Hong's bargaining capital. Therefore, it's not just what Liu Hong says, it's what it is.

Seeing that these guys were all honest, Liu Hong stopped talking nonsense, and directly asked people to send the regulations formulated by the imperial court to them, "This is the terms that the imperial court initially thought of, if you have any different opinions, you can put them forward, let's discuss and discuss them together." ”

These cultivators all looked at the regulations in their hands and didn't say a word. What are you kidding, the court even worked out the terms. In this case, even if he has a different opinion, does he dare to bring it up? Isn't this denying the fruits of the court's labor, if this makes the court hold a grudge, then they will have to walk around without food.

However, others can not speak, but Zhang Heng can't not speak. After all, he wants to be the Taoist pope, and if he doesn't have prestige, it is impossible for anyone to obey him.

"Your Majesty, these terms are okay. However, since this temple and Taoist temple cannot accept offerings and sesame oil money, what should those tourists who come to stay overnight? The monasteries and Taoist temples have no income, and they certainly can't afford to provide for food and shelter. But if you collect money and go against the policy of the imperial court, what should you do? ”

"It's a problem, but it's easy to solve." Liu Hong said: "The temples and Taoist temples are all built by the imperial court, and the maintenance must also be managed by the imperial court, and what you are responsible for is nothing more than ordering food." This court can give you a little subsidy, such as giving you 100 acres of land as compensation, and this output can definitely cope with those who stay overnight. ”

Since he wanted to enhance his prestige, Zhang Heng began to bargain with Liu Hong for various terms. And Liu Hong also gave face, and every item was more or less compromised. In this way, Zhang Heng's image has become tall among those cultivators.

"Okay, Your Majesty, Xiaodao doesn't have any opinions anymore."

"Sect Leader Zhang has no opinions, the others, do you have any opinions?" Liu Hong looked at no one and said, "Since there are no opinions, the matter is settled." Next, let's settle the Taiping Road lawsuit. (To be continued......)
