Zheng Mingjie's next words directly cut off Li Qingqing's last thoughts: "Li Qingqing, you will dedicate it to me tonight."

Looking at Zheng Mingjie who was gradually approaching him, Li Qingqing felt that he hated so much, but what he hated was not Zheng Mingjie who played with his feelings, but his own eyes! What I hate is that I betrayed the prince who treated me very well for this kind of person! What I hate is that I am ashamed of my parents at home! I hate myself the most!

At this last critical moment, an angry shout stopped Zheng Mingjie's movements: "Second brother, stop"

The sudden voice startled Zheng Mingjie, and then he was a little annoyed, but in the end he hid his anger and said lightly to Zheng Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, why are you here?" ”

Zheng Xiaoyue said with some annoyance: "Why am I here, if I don't come, can I see you treating Qingqing so despicably, if I don't come, can I know that you instructed Qingqing to steal things from the palace, if I don't come, the entire Zheng family will be affected by you?"

Zheng Mingjie had a gloomy face: "Xiaoyue, that's how you talk to your brother, the second brother is measured, and he doesn't need you to say anything."

Zheng Xiaoyue asked rhetorically: "It is your sense of proportion to instruct Qingqing to steal things from the palace, do you know the consequences of this incident?"

Looking at Zheng Xiaoyue and Li Qingqing, a trace of killing intent flashed in Zheng Mingjie's eyes, and then disappeared very well. Zheng Mingjie said lightly: "Okay, this matter is over, you can take her back, but don't say more things that shouldn't be said, I believe that the consequences after saying more are not what you want to see."

Zheng Mingjie is confident that the two will not say anything, Zheng Xiaoyue will not, and Li Qingqing will not either. Zheng Xiaoyue didn't say that she was afraid that Li Ran would deal with the Zheng family, and Li Qingqing also betrayed Li for fear of causing trouble to her family, so she naturally wouldn't say it. This is Zheng Mingjie's self-confidence, and it is also his willingness to let Li Qingqing go.

Watching Zheng Xiaoyue leave with Li Qingqing, Zheng Mingjie snorted coldly and said to himself: Hmph, Zheng family, I will clean it up sooner or later!

Zheng Mingjie came back about a minute after leaving: there was really no one to follow, and it seemed that Zheng Xiaoyue and the others did not attract Li Ran's attention.

After Zheng Mingjie left again, a figure showed his figure, but it was a figure following Zheng Xiaoyue, looking at the direction of Zheng Mingjie's departure: "It's quite cautious, but Jiang is still old and spicy; Hmm~, I still have to tell the prince about this matter."

……

The next time, Li Fu came to Li Ran's small courtyard: "Lord Wang, the guard commander Ma Han has something to see"

Li Ran said lightly: "Let him come in"

Then I saw Mahan walk in, but it was the figure from last night: "Mahan visits the prince"

"Get up, let's talk about something", Li Ran said casually, as if he knew what Mahan was going to say.

Although Ma Han guessed that Li Ran had known about this for a long time, he still told him what happened last night, and then quietly waited for Li Ran's orders.

Li Ran sighed embarrassedly: "People who are infatuated with love are the most hurtful!" It's not just herself who hurts, it's also the people who care about her; Hey, this incident is a blessing or a curse for Li Qingqing! ”

Looking at the person still standing in front of him, Li Ran said: "Ma Han, good name, this time the thing is good, go to the account room to receive a reward of fifty taels of silver, but don't spread this matter."

Seeing Li Ran cast a 'you know' look, Ma Han said with understanding: "Please rest assured, no one will know about this anymore, let alone Zheng Xiaoyue and Li Qingqing."

Li Ran nodded with satisfaction: "I won't treat you badly when I do things in the palace, go down"

Watching Ma Han go down, Xiao Wanrong said with emotion: "I didn't expect that person named Zheng Mingjie to be so bad, poor Qingqing."

"Then you can go over and walk around at will later, and if you see it, enlighten and enlighten her, don't let her know that we already know about it", Li Ran said lazily

Xiao Wanrong asked curiously, "Lord Wang, aren't you angry?" ”

Li Ran said angrily: "The master is a soft-hearted person, not as hard-hearted as you think, go and go, while playing in the mud, don't disturb the master's rest"

For Li Qingqing's naïve girl, sympathy is greater than anger, so Li Ran is generous not angry, really, don't lie to you!

Xiao Wanrong said speechlessly: "Lord Wang, aren't you angry with Zheng Mingjie?" ”

Well, it turned out that he made a mistake, Li Ran said with some embarrassment: "First, he didn't provoke me, Li Qingqing is not from my palace after all; Second, he is an additive in the master's life, which will make my life in Datang more interesting, and secretly tell you that Zheng Mingjie's identity is not as simple as it seems; The third master was a little interested in the thing he was looking for; Such a good person, how could the master let him receive the bento so easily"

Looking at Xiao Wanrong, who glanced at herself and left, Li Ran was speechless for a moment, but then said to himself: "That thing should also be carried out, and the public list should also be moved, damn Wei Zheng, he is really a stubborn old man, it's annoying to think about"

At this time, it was not yet lunch time, but the Drunken Immortal Building was already full of people, and the full of guests was indescribably prosperous. At this moment, the public list next to the hanging screen was glorious, and then I saw the public list slowly open.

Everyone present looked at this scene curiously, and what was even more curious was the content of the list.

I saw that the list wrote: "Because the Buddhist monks are now mixed and chaotic, not the right way, this immortal wants to standardize the Buddhist way, the temple Taoist temple is divided into nine levels, each level of Buddhist monks have a fixed number, see the emperor list for details"

Soon, the public list slowly rolled up and returned to its original appearance, which made people wonder if the brilliance just now was emanated from the public list.

What followed was a boring discussion, and these people were not very interested in the norms of Buddhism, but they were interested in the meaning behind this matter and what it would implicate them.

Second, the emperor list was posted in Chang'an City, and the emperor list explained in detail the reasons for regulating Buddhism and the methods of standardizing Buddhism. Temples and Taoist temples are divided into nine levels, each of which has a specified number of people.

1: There are a maximum of nine people at the ninth level, a maximum of twenty at the eighth level, a maximum of thirty at the seventh level, a maximum of fifty at the sixth level, a maximum of eighty at the fifth level, a maximum of one hundred at the fourth level, a maximum of one hundred and fifty at the third level, a maximum of two hundred at the second level, and a maximum of three hundred at the third level.

2: Counties and cities with less than 100,000 people can only have one temple or one Taoist temple; Counties and cities with 100,000 to 300,000 people can only have two temples or two Taoist temples; Counties and cities with 300,000 to 500,000 people can only have three temples or three Taoist temples; Counties and cities with 500,000 to 800,000 people can only have four temples or four Taoist temples; In counties and cities with 800,000 to 1,000,000 people, there can only be five temples or five Taoist temples; Counties and cities with more than one million people can only have six temples or six Taoist temples.

Three: Temples and Taoist temples must be reported to the official office, and the land used for temples and Taoist temples can only be designated by the government. The size of the land is also regulated, the ninth level can only have a maximum of one mu of cultivated land, the eighth level can only have a maximum of two acres of cultivated land, the seventh level can only have a maximum of three acres of cultivated land, the sixth level can only have a maximum of five acres of cultivated land, the fifth level can only have a maximum of eight acres of cultivated land, the fourth level can only have a maximum of ten acres of cultivated land, the third level can only have a maximum of 15 acres of cultivated land, the second level can only have a maximum of 20 acres of cultivated land, and the first level can only have a maximum of 30 acres of cultivated land.

Of course, there is no rent for cultivated fields given by the government, but for cultivated fields cultivated by temples or Taoist temples or purchased from the government, there is a need to pay rent. The temple and Taoist temple had no choice but to forcibly buy and occupy the people's farmland in any way, and once it was discovered, the local temple and Taoist temple were removed.

Four: All monks and Taoists must hold the ultimatum of the government, and the monks and Taoists must be assessed every year, and those who succeed in the assessment can hold the ultimatum to the designated higher temple and Taoist temple, and those who fail the assessment will be delegated or even returned to the laity.

There are many other aspects in the imperial list, such as which temple is designated as a temple of several levels, etc., but more is in terms of details.

As soon as this list came out, it aroused strong resistance from Buddhism and Taoism. Fortunately, Taoism is not like to enter the WTO in the first place, and now there are Li Ran and Zhang Guo who have come forward, and the affairs of Taoism have been quickly settled. As for Buddhism, the government suppressed it while propagating it to the outside world: Tang Buddhism is Theravada Buddhism, and the current emperor has sent people to the West to seek Mahayana Buddhism.

Although Li Shimin's propaganda gradually stabilized Buddhism, it caused dissatisfaction among Taoists. So Li Shimin publicized to the outside world: the imperial court will build a large Taoist temple outside Chang'an City, as the Taoist temple of Li Ran and Li Xianzhi, this Taoist temple will be used as a special Taoist temple of Taoism, but if the Taoist cultivation is profound, you can go to Li Ran and Li Xianzhi's Taoist temple to listen to the law. Only then did the matter of Buddhism gradually calm down.

No matter how noisy the outside world was, in the small courtyard of the Xiaoyao Palace, Li Fu took a few pieces of white paper and handed them to Li Ran: "Lord Wang, this is the paper made by the paper mill."

"It's not bad, it's called the workshop to study the making method of new paper while making paper", Li Ran took it and looked at it and said, then handed it to Xiao Wanrong and said: "Wanrong, use the ballpoint pen and charcoal I gave you to try on this paper."

Xiao Wanrong tried it according to her words, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it's very applicable, but I don't know how much it costs?" ”

Li Fu said: "The cost is very cheap, only a few pennies a piece"

Li Ran said: "Although this kind of paper is not as good as rice paper, different paper has different uses, the advantage of this paper is that it is suitable for printing, and the children of the poor family can afford it, so if it is not good, it can be used as hand paper."

Li Fu agreed: "Yes, it's much cheaper than using silk cloth."

Xiao Wanrong glanced at Li Ran and stopped talking, Li Ran smiled and took out a stack of materials and handed it to Li Fu: "This is different from movable type printing in the engraving printing, give me a printing factory in the manor, this will be handed over to the craftsmen to try to make, after making it, print the thousand-character text first to see how the effect is, if the effect is good, print out the Dream of Red Mansions and Journey to the West, and use it from the restaurant if the funds are insufficient."

Xiao Wanrong asked at this time: "Then I don't know what to do with these things in the future?" Do you sell it yourself or? ”

Li Ran said: "The Zheng family's title deed and house deed are gone, it can be said that it is the weakest time now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, let the Zheng family sell it, and the other three will talk about it later, as long as they let them set the price lower."

Li Fu asked puzzledly: "Isn't the decline of the family exactly what the prince wants to see, why?" ”

Li Ran explained: "Now that the cultural level of the country is low, the supply of literati still needs families, and when they don't want it, take it out; Besides, if I directly end the family now, the consequences are not what I want to see."

Li Fu nodded suddenly, he didn't expect that it was very unusual for the prince, who usually doesn't use his brain, to use his brain! Then Li Fu went down with the printing technology to do business.
