Chapter 799: Religious Issues

Through their suppression, the Jia Dynasty once again weakened the influence of the wealthy families and the old bureaucrats on the court, and many new measures conducive to the people's livelihood were gradually implemented, and the wealth and land obtained from the confiscation of their family property could also be used to resettle more displaced people, and the territory of the Jia Dynasty gradually returned to stability.

And those scholars who still have complaints in their hearts do not dare to speak out against the imperial examination policy after seeing those unlucky ghosts who have been deprived of the qualification for the imperial examination for three generations, because even if they themselves have no hope of becoming officials in the imperial examination, their descendants will still embark on this road, and they must not delay the future of the entire family because of their own selfishness, even if there are a few stubborn guys, they are quickly taken home by their clansmen to be strictly guarded.

Subsequently, the first imperial examination of the Jia Dynasty was carried out smoothly, and batches of new scientific scholars with real talents were enriched into the court, and after they completed the most basic training, they would enter various departments of the imperial court, disperse all parts of the Jia Dynasty, and change the world with a new look.

"This time, thanks to Master Yao and Mr. Sima, they discovered the conspiracy of these people in advance and made proper arrangements, otherwise the first imperial examination of the new dynasty may be in chaos." After everything was calm, Li You once again rewarded Yao Guangxiao and Sima Cuo and other courtiers who played a great role in this incident.

"Your Majesty, the new dynasty is established, and the various policies introduced are unfavorable to those old big landlords and wealthy families, and it is not surprising that they will come out to oppose it. Yao Guangxiao was not too happy, and reminded him.

"Well, I've been clear at this point." Li You was not surprised at all by such a thing, if it weren't for the fact that the wealthy family lost half of their strength in the process of captivating the North and Yuan Zhang attacking Henan Province, the counterattack he would face would be even more serious, and the social change since ancient times has not gone through bloody rain to succeed? From the Shang Dynasty to the founding of Taizu, the Jia Dynasty he established did not intend to continue to be a tool for the landlord class to rule the people like the Great Wei, but to let the country carry out industrial reforms, so of course it was necessary to face the resistance of these people.

"This matter is just the beginning, now we have to measure the world's land production and re-check the acres of Dingkou fields, this is the means to kill them, and I am afraid that the counterattack will only be more powerful in the future." Li You said solemnly, after hundreds of years of changes, the Great Wei has hidden countless acres of land and Dingkou, and the gentry from all over the country have used various means to cover up the acres and population they have mastered, and evaded the taxes they should bear, which made them eat fat and strong, but the Great Wei has become weaker and weaker because of this, and they are not allowed to continue to do so in the Jia Dynasty.

Therefore, Li You took out the means of the official gentry to collect grain and spread the land into the mu, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of the turmoil in the world and the weakening of the gentry to control all the land and Dingkou in the hands of the imperial court.

"As for how to deal with the opposition of the gentry in various places, the ministers have already made a decision, as long as the Jiazhou army is still in the hands of His Majesty, these people will not be able to make waves." Yao Guangxiao is also a very murderous person, he will not be afraid of the opposition of these gentry, but he has not yet thought about how to deal with another force that has a large amount of land, "There is still a large amount of land in the hands of palaces and temples in various places, and these lands are not subject to taxes according to the laws of the Great Wei, so please ask Your Majesty to show how to deal with this matter." ”

Among the lands occupied by these palaces and temples, there are rewards from the imperial court, donations from believers, and of course, more of them are forcibly seized by using their special status, these palaces and temples rely on land rent to build their temples magnificently, while their tenants are hungry and cold, and they don't know where the compassion in these mouths has gone.

But it is not so easy to move them, first, now the theory of ghosts and gods is prevalent, and people are in awe of the palaces and temples; Second, these people are very inflammatory, and they can often incite those poor people to protect their interests, which also makes it difficult for the imperial court to deal with them for a while.

"I don't have much contact with these places on a regular basis." Although Yao Guangxiao is a monk, he still talks about government affairs most of the time when he is with Li You and others on weekdays, and rarely talks about these things, "Since Master Yao raised this question, then it is better to find a few palaces and temples first!" ”

Now that Li You is already the emperor, it is not easy to get out of the palace, and it was not until three days later that he was ready, and he and Yao Guangxiao and others came to the outside of the Daxiangguo Temple, where the incense was the most vigorous in the capital, with many guards.

But see the Great Xiangguo Temple covers an extremely wide area, the Buddhist hall and monks' houses are endless, there are no less than thousands of rooms as far as the eye can see, Danzhu wipes the wall, the glazed tiles, the sandalwood is not luxurious, even if the rich of Li You's birth sees the scene in front of him, it is also a big smack, and in recent years, the capital has been under fire, but this Great Xiangguo Temple seems to have not been affected in any way.

"Your Majesty, there are also many people who believe in the Buddha in the Mobei tribes, so they did not burn and loot the Daxiangguo Temple after entering the city, and the Daxiangguo Temple also protected many people, but it can be regarded as accumulating a lot of merits." Yao Guangxiao explained.

In this way, these people are not all useless, can Europe still learn from the experience of missionaries in the Age of Discovery, and perhaps let these people go to Mobei and Hedong to spread the faith and soften the resistance of those barbarians?

While thinking about this, in order to enter the temple, and the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple had already received the news, and after seeing Li You, he followed him to introduce various allusions in the temple to Li You, and soon the group came to the main hall.

Looking at the statue of the Buddha on the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which was several feet tall and gilded, Li You couldn't help but sigh, it seemed too wasteful to use so much silver in this place.

Suddenly, his mind moved, and he looked at the abbot and asked with a smile, "Abbot, you said that I came to the Buddha, should I worship or not?" ”

The abbot was stunned for a moment, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but at this time, a monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes behind him came out to relieve the siege, "Your Majesty, the Buddha of the present world does not worship the Buddha of the future." ”
