"His Royal Highness the King of Chu came this time, but for my Taoist?" Yuan Shoucheng sat on the main seat, wearing a well-tailored robe, his snow-white hair was meticulously combed, three long beards under his chin, and a pair of eyes that looked muddy but deep like a deep pool stared at Li Kuan.

"Master Guoshi, why is it so solemn? This king is so vigilant that the national teacher is vigilant? Guarding against the king like a thief? Li Kuan did not say the purpose of coming directly, these people on the other side are all extremely smart people, otherwise Yuan Shoucheng and Zhang Daoqin would not be able to sit in the position of national teacher, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao are also like this, one is the medicine king admired by later generations, and the other is simply a famous god stick, "Tui Bei Tu" has been passed down for thousands of years, recording how many major events, so that countless metaphysics lovers argue.

"Since it has come to this point, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is talking about him like this, is it too much to ignore my Taoism!" Zhang Daoqin's gray hair was scattered behind his head, and the robe depicting gossip on his body flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Why, can't wait? In this case, this king will not be polite to you, yes, this time I came to discuss the affairs of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, presumably the two of them also know about the affairs of Luoyang City, how about it, what do you think? Li Kuan gently stood up from his seat and asked condescendingly. Since these two old Taoist priests want to end this matter quickly, then it is better to be more direct like this, anyway, it is not him who should be afraid.

"Sure enough, the affairs of the Buddhist family are the handiwork of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, such a large-scale illusion, but only His Royal Highness the King of Chu still has the ability to arrange it, and we old guys are all old and weak. The heart is weak! Yuan Shoucheng said a little decadently. They had long known that the scientists behind Li Kuan had retained an intact lineage, and they had a huge advantage over the Taoist lineage that had been lost in the past thousand years. But I didn't expect these things to achieve such results, and the Buddhists were completely planted this time. I'm afraid it's hard to turn over, even if Xuanzang returns from the Western Regions, it will be a great blessing to be able to keep the Buddhist family alive. And what about their Taoists? Where is the hope?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, tell me your request! What do I Taoist have to do to keep my inheritance alive? Yuan Tiangang interjected at this time, and Sun Simiao, who was beside him, also had a look of hope, although this old doctor had the world in mind, he was also a Taoist after all. He also has the heart to contribute to the predicament that Taoists are facing now, otherwise he would not have appeared here. Because of his existence, Taoism may really have hope to be passed on.

"For the sake of the old way, can His Royal Highness the King of Chu open the net?" Sun Simiao still couldn't hold back and pleaded loudly. Now the imperial court can be described as unprecedentedly strong, Li Er has worked hard, the Tang Dynasty has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and the people have lived a rich life, although the officials dare not say that they are all clean and clean. But there is no one who is not conscientious. All of them abide by their duties, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty is developing at an unprecedented high speed, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu has also played a role that cannot be ignored. Now the rice planted in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the quyuan plough for cultivated land, and cotton clothes and cotton pants made of white stacks. These were the first to be taken out by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Not to mention that the aliens around him are now afraid of him. Therefore, Li Kuan played a very big role in this Datang chariot, and now he has suppressed the Buddhists to the lowest point at once. All this shows how strong this young prince's wrist is, although he is not necessarily clever, but he is a force to ten times. No one can stop it. Now that he is targeting Taoism, how can these people, who are the highest level of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, not be careful.

"Haha...... Mr. Sun, this king respects you, and your medical ethics make this king deeply admire, but do you know what Taoists have done over the years? They are no different from the Buddhists, all of them are moths on the Tang Dynasty. The people of Datang have just been freed from the war, and they have not lived a good life for a few days, and these Taoist disciples who have become monks have been looted on them, so if this continues, when will my Datang really stand on the top of the world? Li Kuan said to Sun Simiao: "The Taoist established a Taoist temple on a mountain, so this mountain is the Taoist industry?" What makes sense? The land under the mountain is the property of the Taoist temple by default? The people need to go to the Taoist temple to sign a lease contract with the Taoist priests, how much grain do they have to give them every year to get the land at the foot of Zhongshan? ”

"This ......" Sun Simiao is not good at words, he is just a doctor who wants to overcome a few more diseases and treat a few more people, and he really doesn't know much about these, but every time he goes out to travel, when he goes to those Taoist temples to rest, he can always see the lush fields at the foot of the mountain, and he feels very happy: because these crops grow very well, the people can have a good harvest. However, he never thought that these lands were actually the property of the Taoist temple, and the grain prescribed by the Taoist temple could be planted at the foot of the mountain. It's simply ...... Sun Simiao's face couldn't help but flush a little.

"These things have always been like this since the birth speech of my Taoist, and Daoist Sun Simiao is dedicated to treating patients, and he doesn't know about these things. Does His Royal Highness the King of Chu know that in fact, after these people hand over the grain to the Taoist Temple, they can not pay taxes to the imperial court, which has been passed down for thousands of years. Therefore, although the people want to support the people of our Daomen, it is a little less than the tax of the imperial court. They also get more food. Why not? Zhang Daoqin asked loudly.

"Really? Under the whole world, is it not the king's land? Why are you Taoists so transcendent? Li Kuan snorted coldly.

"We are all monks, how can we be bound by the imperial power?" Yuan Shoucheng didn't say anything, but Yuan Tiangang replied first.

"Haha...... Since you are a monk, what do you need land for? Since you are so transcendent, why did you become my Tang National Teacher? Since you don't care whether you eat and sleep in the open, why do you still build Taoist temples on top of those famous mountains and rivers, and build one more brilliant than the other, and each one is more magnificent than the other? Li Kuan rebuked loudly: "You are just monks, having a thatched house is enough to shelter from the wind and rain, and planting three or two acres of land by yourself is enough to satisfy your stomach, why do you occupy a large area of fertile land, why build a gorgeous Taoist temple?" Why are you still attached to power? To put it nicely, in fact, compared to worldly people like us, you are even more deceitful and famous! It's just a group of moths, sucking the people's fat and ointment, and filling their pockets. In that case, what's the use of keeping you Taoist? Li Kuan became more and more atmospheric, and originally wanted to give Sun Simiao three points of thin noodles, but these old Taoist priests and young Taoist priests actually felt good about themselves like this, occupying the land of the country, and said as if they were doing this for the sake of a better life for the people. Now the agricultural tax implemented by the imperial court is fifteen taxes and one, and the offerings of Taoist temples are uncertain. So it doesn't matter how much the people actually get.

"In that case, then what does His Royal Highness the King of Chu want? My Taoist family has been inherited in the land of China for thousands of years, and it is not easy to deceive! "Zhang Daoqin has always been a person who has lived on people for a long time, as the supreme leader of the Heavenly Master Sect of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, when did he ever suffer such a qi.

"I want Taoism to be full of fighting and vulgar!" Li Kuan is also angry, aren't you Taoists bulls? The technique of Jindan has deceived countless emperors and fooled countless people, and now he is still having a temper with me, what a bull's nose!

"That can't be! Since the establishment of my Taoist family in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Dan has never broken off the inheritance. You Li Tang think that you are a descendant of Lao Tzu, how can you do this? Yuan Tiangang also spoke up.

"So what? The existence of Taoism is useless to the Tang Dynasty, leaving you to continue to oppress the people? Li Kuan didn't give an inch, and the bull's temper also came up.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is angry for the time being, everyone has something to say!" Sun Simiao started a round, this old Taoist priest doesn't know what to do at this time, Taoism has stood for thousands of years, he is also a Taoist, what should I do at this time? It is true that Taoism does not have much interest in the imperial court, but it does not hinder the rule of the imperial court, why is it like this?

"Mr. Sun, all of this is the Taoists do not know how to advance and retreat, blindly occupy the mountains and rivers, now there are no less than 1,000 Taoist temples in the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty, according to the average battle situation of each Taoist temple 1,000 acres of fertile land, there are 100,000 acres of fertile land occupied by Taoists, so many worlds, enough for tens of thousands of people to cultivate. These should have been things in the imperial court, and the Taoists occupied them plainly, what is this? Is the mountain king? Li Kuan said sharply: "Since the two national teachers are unwilling to accept such conditions, then the imperial army will soon conquer the Taoist temples in various parts of the Taoist family, and completely smash the Taoist family in the land of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"You dare to ......" Zhang Daoqin shouted loudly: "My Taoist family has millions of believers, how is it compared to the yellow scarf?" ”

"What, you still want to rebel?" Li Kuan's voice was also an octave higher, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely solemn for a while.

"That's good, my Taoist gives up the excess land and nationalizes it, how about the imperial court allow my Taoist to collect a few more people every year?" Yuan Shoucheng didn't speak all the time, and only then did he speak: "This is also the condition that Lao Dao promised Xiaoyou!" ”

"No...... Without these fields, how would my Taoist family survive? Zhang Daoqin stopped him from saying that without the food handed over to the Taoist temple by the people, they would have to farm their own land, which is really an unacceptable thing for these people of the Taoists, and how many of them will farm! And without these lands, it is also a problem for Taoists to continue to develop: because they cultivate their own land and grow food, their movement is restricted, and they are completely chained to the perimeter of Taoist temples, unable to spread their teachings and recruit more believers.

"So, let the imperial army raze all the Taoist temples in our other places to the ground?" Yuan Shoucheng sighed: "Now Datang is not like other dynasties, the current Datang is about to take off, and it is unstoppable." How can we, as incarnate beings, disobey such days? Zhang Daoyou, maybe completely letting go is really liberating, didn't you already realize it at that time? Why are you ...... now?"

"Stop, stop...... From then on, we will completely retreat to the mountains and forests, and it is good to be an idle cloud and wild crane......" Zhang Dao was diligent and a little depressed. (To be continued......)
