Chapter 13 Words cast money, Zhao Lei wants to suppress the Buddha

In his opinion, this is a precursor to the decline of the peak of prosperity, if the problem of this money shortage cannot be solved, I am afraid that the entire Great Song Dynasty will be affected, it is precisely because the problem of this money shortage is very serious, it will cause Han Qi to attach great importance to it, if he can solve the problem of this money shortage, his prestige in the court and the people will definitely be able to go to a higher level, even if he cannot reach Zhao Lei's height, But he will definitely be able to compete with Fan Zhongyan, and it will definitely be okay to be a marquis in the future. www.biquge.infoqΠ’5, \

However, it is not so easy to solve the problem of money shortage that the court officials are helpless at present, although there are many silver and copper mines in various places in the imperial court, but the low output efficiency of these mines cannot meet the consumption requirements of the imperial court, and it is more difficult that these mines have occupied a lot of human resources, if the imperial court wants to increase investment in mining, it is bound to affect other industries, and the most important Yellow River old road project of the imperial court has reached the end of the period, and it will take at least more than a year to reach the end of the period, that isFor more than a year, the imperial court was unable to increase investment in silver and copper mining, so that solving the money shortage for more than a year has become the focus of the imperial court's attention.

Although Han Qi has a way to let the imperial court survive the money shortage for more than a year, he also understands that his method is a way to quench the thirst of drinking doves for the Great Song Dynasty, although it may solve the money shortage of the imperial court now, but it will definitely bring greater trouble to the imperial court in the future, but even so, in the case of the hundred officials of the imperial court who are unwilling to speak up, he is very willing to submit this method to the official family, and let the official family consider whether to use his method to get through the difficulties, but before that, he wants to hear Zhao Lei's opinion. Let's see if Zhao Lei has a better way to solve the problem of land shortage in the imperial court.

"Lord Zhao! Xia Guan came up with a way to solve the current money shortage dilemma in the imperial court, but the idea was not mature enough, and I hope that Lord Zhao will give me more advice! Han Qi took advantage of the time when Zhao Lei, Fan Zhongyan and others were talking about the break, and suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile to Zhao Lei.

"Oh! What do you think? Zhao Lei heard Han Qi's sudden words, and asked curiously with a slight stunned look.

With the curious eyes of Fan Zhongyan and several other forbidden army generals, Han Qi cleared his throat and said carefully: "The main reason for the money shortage in the imperial court this time is because the southern invasion of Western Xia caused the northern border defense military spending to increase suddenly, and it is impossible to make ends meet, but since the war has not ended, the imperial court is bound to further aggravate the dilemma of the money shortage, close to the gold of the imperial court's household department. Although it can solve a temporary need, it cannot last long; The Yongxing Military Road has always been rich in iron ore, and it is all high-quality iron ore, and the lower officials thought that the imperial court could issue an order for Yan'an Mansion to mint iron money to meet the temporary needs of the border army, and wait until the end of the war, and then slowly abolish this iron money! ”

"Never! This official opposes Lord Han's idea, and it is easy to say that it is easy to cast iron money. The imperial court banned gold, silver and copper but did not ban iron mines, and all kinds of private iron mines were everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty. Once the iron money is implemented, it will inevitably cause a large number of private iron money phenomenon, once this kind of iron money is popularized in Yongxing Military Road, the subway money will flock in, more than a year, enough for those private money to hollow out half of the household, then abolish the iron money, the suffering is not those who get the iron money, Lord Han said, there is the existence of the people in the north in his heart! Han Qi's words had just finished speaking. Fan Zhongyan was immediately angry when he heard this, and retorted loudly.

Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were originally on the wrong path, and the two had great differences in political tendencies, whether it was the offensive and defensive theory of Western Xia or the internal government affairs of the imperial court. The views of the two have never been able to get along, so when Han Qi heard Fan Zhongyan refute his opinion, he immediately began to quote scriptures to refute it. The quarrel with Fan Zhongyan was turned upside down, and the Yan'an Mansion actually had a bit of the taste of Bianjing Zichen Palace at this time.

Zhao Lei looked at Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi who were arguing with a smile, without the slightest intention of persuasion, in fact, since Zhao Lei left Bianjing, he rarely saw this kind of scene of civil and official quarrels, and he was a little emotional at first glance, and he couldn't bear to interrupt them.

In fact, the money shortage of the Great Song Dynasty is a very easy problem for Zhao Lei, he has at least ten ways to solve the current money shortage, but too many of these methods will conflict with those privileged classes in Bianjing, so he needs to think about how to make the Great Song Dynasty overcome the difficulties and minimize the impact, and he can get the greatest benefits, which is Zhao Lei's biggest headache at present.

The matter of the military logistics yamen made Zhao Lei a little chilled, although the official Zhao Zhen is still favored and trusted, but Zhao Lei is now very wary of the civil and military who have all kinds of selfish intentions in the imperial court, in Zhao Lei's opinion, if the new army logistics yamen is still there at this time, with the ability of Ding Du and others, it is enough to eliminate the money shortage before it is born, and it will not fall to the current situation, and the money is wasteland, it cannot be said that the court is short-sighted, it can only be said that too many people in the court have too many selfishness.

"Ahem! Cough! Zhao Lei coughed twice and separated Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, who were arguing, and said with a smile: "Why should the two adults hurt their harmony for this little thing!" The cast iron money is just the private opinion of Lord Han Qi, and it has not been submitted to the official family, nor has it been reviewed by the three provinces, is this little thing worth the anger of the two adults! Moreover, the solution to the dilemma of the imperial court's money shortage is not only cast iron money. ”

"Lord Zhao has a good way to help the imperial court survive this money shortage!" Zhao Lei's words made Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi put down their quarrel, and Qi Qi asked Zhao Lei.

"Do the two adults know that it is difficult for the three martial arts and one sect to be used?" Zhao Lei looked at Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi with a smile and said.

The Buddhist method of the three martial arts and one sect is difficult! Zhao Lei's words made Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi feel a chill in their hearts, and then they both understood what Zhao Lei said about helping the imperial court survive the money shortage.

The so-called Buddhist martyrdom of the three martial arts and one sect refers to the fact that the four emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taiwu, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Shizong of the Five Dynasties rejected and attacked Buddhism

There is still controversy about this matter, and the two of them don't understand it!

"Lord Zhao's target is those bronze statues and bronze artifacts of the Buddha Gate!" Fan Zhongyan gasped and asked Zhao Lei in disbelief.

"I heard the Buddha say that the body is delusional, and the benefit of others is anxious. So that its true body is still there, and it is beneficial to the world, and it still wants to be cut off, and this bronze statue. What a pity? Zhao Lei sneered and said Zhou Shizong's words of destroying the Buddha back then.

Zhou Shizong put forward this kind of remarks that since the Buddha could sacrifice his life to save people in need, why not give up the bronze statue to save the world, and used this excuse to rectify all the Buddhist doors in the Later Zhou Dynasty at that time, and looted all the temple bronze statues and bronze utensils to cast copper coins, so as to survive the shortage of money in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

"Lord Zhao! The consequences of this method are too serious! Looting temples across the country, aren't adults afraid of forcing people to oppose Buddhism! Han Qi looked at Zhao Lei with a wry smile and said.

Hearing Han Qi's timid words, Zhao Lei pouted and sneered and said: "I didn't expect the two adults to reflect like this, this official is really sad for the Great Song Dynasty, when Zhou Shizong destroyed the Buddha and took copper coins, hundreds of officials in the imperial court corresponded. Many officials who believe in Buddhism will contribute the bronze Buddha at home to mint money to save the world, and now there is a shortage of money in the imperial court, and the two adults are too timid to attack the Buddhism. Or do you have selfish thoughts? ”

Zhao Lei's cynicism made Fan Zhongyan's face a little uncontrollable and asked: "Lord Zhao is responsible for what he says, if he really forces the Buddhist monks in the world, who will bear the consequences?" ”

"Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, destroyed more than 40,000 monasteries across the country, forced three million monks and nuns to return to the world, and was praised for his strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and dared to ask the two adults. Why did no one dare to rebel among the three million monks in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but there were only 500,000 monks in the Northern Song Dynasty. Do they dare to rebel? Zhao Lei said with a sneering smile.

"The Northern Zhou Dynasty is five hundred years old, of course the situation will change!" Han Qi was said by Zhao Lei to be a little bold, but he didn't want Zhao Lei to really put forward this method of destroying the Buddha, although this method is beneficial to the country, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty relied on three million lay monks to establish a huge army to unify the north, but the harm is also not small, without the suppression of Buddhism, the power of the Northern Zhou Taoist family expanded dramatically, and finally almost caused the disaster of changing the color of the country, and Zhao Lei's father-in-law is the leader of the Taoist sect in Shu. Senior brother Wang Su is a disciple of Taoism, this kind of background makes Han Qi very suspicious of the reason why Zhao Lei proposed the plan to destroy the Buddha, so he retorted very stubbornly.

"I heard that when Chen Xiliang arrested the criminal monk Haiyin, the monks of Taiping Xingguo Temple once resisted arrest with soldiers. Wounding a number of Kaifeng government officials, monks arresting and injuring government officials, rare through the ages. I don't know if the change that Lord Han said is that the proportion of warrior monks in the Great Song Dynasty is much higher than that of the previous dynasty, so Lord Han is afraid that those temple warrior monks will rebel! Zhao Lei began to use the method of agitation, and said indifferently to Han Qi harshly.

Zhao Lei's words completely hit Han Qi's weakness, you must know that after Chen Xiliang experienced the matter of resisting arrest, he once asked to suppress Buddhism, reduce the number of temples and Lanruo in the world, and at the same time measure the land of Buddhism, forcing Buddhist monks to return to the lay Buddha plan, but because the court did not have money wasteland troubles at that time, and caught up with the fact that Empress Dowager Liu was seriously ill, and then the matter was over, and now Zhao Lei took advantage of the shortage of money in the court to fight the bronze statues and bronze objects of Buddhism. Coupled with the last time Taiping Xingguo Temple resisted arrest, the court had a bad feeling towards Buddhism, I am afraid that this time Buddhism is really going to be unlucky.

"I wonder if the two adults know how many temples and Lan Ruo are in Yan'an Mansion? How many monks are there? How much land is there? How many people rented land for those temples without paying taxes? Do you know how much tax the imperial court loses in a year just because of the Buddhist gate in Yan'an Mansion? Zhao Lei struck while the iron was hot, and Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, who threw out five questions in a row, were stunned.

"The two adults don't know, so the official will tell you that there are 69 temples and Lanruo in Yan'an Mansion; There were nearly 4,000 monks; The land belonging to those monasteries amounted to 170,000 acres; There are nearly 60,000 people who rent the fields of the temple without paying taxes, and the imperial court is in Yan'an Mansion, and the annual loss discount on the temple is as much as 170,000 taels, this is only the situation of Yan'an Prefecture, think about how many state capitals there are in the entire Great Song Dynasty? How much tax will the imperial court lose each year? Zhao Lei sneered and said to Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan.

Buddhism is going to be unlucky! After listening to Zhao Lei's words, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi glanced at each other, and they both thought helplessly.

"How is Lord Zhao going to restrain Buddhism?" Han Qi hesitated and asked Zhao Lei cautiously.

"This official is ready to go to the official family, stop the construction of all the temples in the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time confiscate the Buddha statues of all temples and destroy the coinage, and also recover all the temple land and land for another distribution, and order the temple to return to the laity, and maintain the number of monks and nuns in the Great Song Dynasty below 100,000!" Zhao Lei said indifferently the plan to suppress Buddhism that he had already thought of.

"What if there are monks and nuns who don't want to return to the world?" Fan Zhongyan asked one of the most important questions, and this question was also the bloodiest question when the Three Martial Arts and One Sect destroyed the Buddha back then.

"This official will ask the official family to issue an order to let the monks and nuns in the world return to the world, and the consequences of disrespecting the decree, Master Fan probably knows better than this official!" After Zhao Lei finished saying what he thought in his heart, he got up and left the mansion, and the three generals of the forbidden army from Bianjing followed closely, leaving Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi to look at each other with a wry smile.
