With these few blows from the DPRK and China, there will be a temporary convergence in temples in various places, and this convergence is only temporary, and there are no long-term measures, and this kind of chaos will naturally continue.

On the streets of Chang'an City.

Several pedestrians looked at the old and the young, and they were about to quarrel, and both of them were wearing official uniforms of the DPRK and the central government, and they also sped up their steps to leave, and they did not dare to mix.

Zhang Yang said entangledly: "Gong Zheng, the lower officials are soft-spoken, even if they explain to His Majesty, they will not pay too much attention to it." ”

Wei Zheng frowned, "Then what do you think the DPRK should do?" ”

Putting down his hands, Zhang Yang waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Since you want to rectify it, you must show the determination to cure it radically, and after you can't punish it like this, it will be over." ”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Wei Zheng suddenly smiled, "The old man admires your courage very much, if the old man had such a decision as you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be ......."

Halfway through speaking, Wei Zheng sighed and stopped talking.

When Wei Zheng was young, he was also in the war years, and he may have thought of his previous experience.

Wei Zheng pushed open the door of his house, "Come in and sit down, Your Majesty will go to the army guard school field after noon, and you will walk with the old man at that time." ”

Zhang Yang smiled and walked into this dilapidated small courtyard, there were not too many furnishings in the courtyard, and it was as simple as an ordinary ordinary house.

"Make a meal, and after eating, go to see Your Majesty."

Wei Zheng's words fell, and a woman walked out of the house, along with two children.

Mrs. Wei's dress is very plain, and the yard is old, so she doesn't look like what a Guogong family should look like.

Thinking about Wei Zheng, he is an upright person, and his life is simple.

"Mrs. Wei, I'll come, I'm good at cooking."

"Then you will cook, there are some wild vegetables in the basket, and some bacon hanging."

Walking into a corner of Wei Zheng's yard, this small pit is where Wei Zheng's family cooks, an old pot.

The pot is also very small, as small as your own face.

The pots used to make hot pot at home are bigger than this.

Wei Zheng's wife smiled with wrinkles on her face, and she smiled: "I haven't seen a man who is good at cooking." ”

Wei Zhengqing coughed his throat, "He was born as a country boy, and he should have a way to make a living, and cooking is not difficult for him." ”

Zhang Yang rolled up his sleeves, first washed the vegetables and then cut the bacon.

There were also two sloppy bear children looking at him, Zhang Yang frowned and glared at them, these two children did not hide, they looked about the same age as Li Tai.

"We have very few guests in our house, and you are the cook invited by my father?"

"Brother's statement is ridiculous, this person is wearing an official uniform, at first glance, how can an official in the DPRK and China be a cook."

"You two boys read a book." Wei Zheng's wife preached impatiently.

Seeing the two children leaving, Mrs. Wei Zheng said: "On weekdays, there will be no guests at home, and they are also curious, and I hope they will not be surprised." ”

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "No surprise." ”

"Shuyu is the eldest son, but he is usually too naughty, and Shuyu knows etiquette better."

Wei Zheng's wife looked at her child.

Zhang Yang replied: "The eldest son is naturally naughty when he is pampered, and the second son will naturally be more sensible if he wants to win the trust of his parents." ”

Mrs. Wei Zheng said: "It is said that the women who came out of our Pei family in Hedong are better at teaching children, and they are not like other women, and there is a difference between those who can't teach and those who teach well. ”

"Hedong Pei's family is in Hedong County, when Qin Gongzi ruled Hedong County, and he was the grandson of Qin Mugong, since the Han Emperor sealed the princes, he had the reputation of Hedong Pei's family, and the Han Dynasty was at its peak, and Langya Wang's family was juxtaposed."

Wei Zheng's wife listened to Zhang Yang's eloquent words, her eyes were surprised, "You kid still understand these trivial things?" ”

Zhang Yang explained with a smile: "When I used to read books, there were some chapters that wrote about these things, so I recorded them. ”

Hedong Pei's family did have a prosperous time, but after years of war, the current Hedong Pei family is no longer what it used to be.

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Is there still any contact with the Hedong family now?" ”

Mrs. Wei Zheng said helplessly: "It is a married woman, who often communicates with her family, and she is not a big house, but a partial house." ”

Zhang Yang whispered: "Ask Madame about someone." ”

"Who?"

"Hedong Pei has a child named Pei Xingjian, just ask if there is such a person."

"Understood, I'll write and inquire."

The kitchen utensils in front of me are too simple, even if a small shovel is boiled, you have to sit on the ground to cook, and it is really troublesome to make a small stool to cook.

Wei Zheng's house is also too bitter, and the sanitary conditions are not good, the salt is coarse salt that has been put for a long time, and these salts are damp and condensed into pieces.

A small wooden spoon was blackened.

I simply made two or three dishes.

Wei Zheng looked at the dishes in front of him and stopped talking.

His son Wei Shuyu came with his younger brother, and when he saw a table of dishes, he was happy and said, "Huh? There is bacon, didn't my father say that these bacon should be kept for the New Year? ”

Zhang Yang thought of the bacon he cut, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it turned out that the small piece of bacon was kept for their family to eat during the festival.

Isn't it possible that you don't eat meat on weekdays?

The family sat down, Zhang Yang drank the porridge made with millet rice, and Wei Zheng frowned as he ate the dishes.

Zhang Yang also tasted a few dishes, but he didn't have the heart to say that he didn't make the taste bad, how could he eat with a bitter face.

Everyone ate in silence, and Wei Zheng burped after eating.

Waiting for the children to leave, Wei Zheng said in a low voice: "I shouldn't let you cook." ”

Zhang Yang scratched his head and didn't know how to explain, "Isn't it unappetizing?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "The food is so delicious, the children are used to eating the dregs of food, and then eat the food you have cooked, how to let them eat poor food again in the future." ”

"It turned out that Gong Zheng's godson was painstaking, and he was abrupt."

"That's it, let them eat something good once in a while."

Zhang Yang was entangled: "Has Zheng Gong ever thought about the matter of pension in the future?" ”

Wei Zheng made a straight face, "How long has the world been peaceful?" The dawn of the world has only been a few years of peace, Your Majesty is ambitious, but the national strength is still weak, foreign enemies are still waiting for opportunities, and Tubo is even more ambitious, how to support the heart. ”

"Zheng Gong is concerned about the dawn of state affairs, the worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, and the sacrifice of his personal life for the sake of the people of the society, I admire it."

】

When the words fell, Zhang Yang noticed that he was staring at him with blazing eyes, and he was a little hairy when he looked at people like this.

After another half an hour, Wei Zheng slowly spoke, "The husband should be like this!" ”

chatted for a while, in fact, Wei Zheng is a very obsessive person, and he is very firm in his life ideals.

People persuade people not to persuade, but also want to introduce the benefits of Lishan's pension to him.

I have this heart, but I can't find the time to speak.

and Wei Zheng walked out of the house again, and the two of them went all the way to the school field of the leading guard.

The government of the leading guard is in Chang'an City, and the school field of the leading guard is outside Chang'an City, and the two of them walked out of Chang'an City all the way.

Zhang Yang was about to say that he was preparing a carriage, but he saw that his steps were firm and he had already walked away.

Sighing, keeping up with Wei Zheng's footsteps, no wonder his son said that there were no guests at home, and people like Wei Zheng may rarely have friends who can make friends.

After walking all the way for half an hour, I arrived at the school field of the leading guard.

As soon as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the guards outside the school grounds.

Wei Zheng said in a positive voice: "The old man wants to meet Your Majesty." ”

The guard spoke, "There is an official document." ”

Wei Zheng took out his goldfish bag and the other party got out of the way, and sure enough, the goldfish bag was better than the official document.

Looking at his whitebait bag again, I felt inexplicably lonely.

If you want to be promoted in the hands of Li Shimin, you must not only be capable, but also the emperor must look up to you.

It's very difficult to be a person and an official, and it's even more difficult to get promoted.

Walking into the school field, I saw a lot of soldiers walking back and forth along the way.

There was a lot of dust on these people, and there were sloppy beards all over their faces, and there were even one or two fat fleas that were seen jumping over someone's head.

The sanitary conditions of the marching army are worrisome.

Zhang Yang retracted his gaze and tried not to look at these scenes, out of sight and out of mind, this sentence is, and the scene of the fat flea jumping up still lingers in his mind.

The two questioned a few soldiers, and finally met Li Shimin, who was shooting arrows on the north side of the school grounds.

Also following Li Shimin were Wei Chigong and the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin drew his bow again, and shot an arrow that hit the bull's-eye.

Handing the bow to the guards on the side, Li Shimin sat down again, "What does Gong Zheng think of my archery skills?" ”

Wei Zheng said loudly: "No matter how good the archery is, state affairs will not be calmed because of His Majesty's arrow. ”

Li Shimin wiped his sweat, glanced at Zhang Yang and asked, "Why did you come with you?" ”

After a slight salute, Zhang Yang said: "The minister and Zheng Gong both feel that there is something wrong with the method of rectifying the temple, so they came to ask for a meeting." ”

After another sip of water, Li Shimin said again: "Let's not talk about this matter for a while, what do you think of my leading guard school?" ”

"The soldiers here are strong and strong, galloping for Your Majesty, and they can conquer the whole world, and the Tang Dynasty will last forever!"

"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed.

Noticing that Wei Zheng looked at himself with disdain......

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The soldiers and horses seem to be strong, but in fact, the health situation and governance situation are worrying, along the way, I saw idle soldiers chatting in groups, and I saw someone lying on the ground and fell asleep. ”

"The minister thinks that the army should be the most disciplined place, whether it is personal hygiene or standing posture and speech style, it must be orderly and well-behaved, not like the ruffians who are idlers, and they are still in groups without hygiene."

complained about Li Shimin's leading guard.

Wei Zheng's disdainful gaze was no longer there, but he was a little more appreciative.

The smile on the emperor's face was gone, and his face gradually darkened.

Seeing that the emperor was about to have a seizure, Zhang Yang leaned over Wei Zheng's side, cleared his throat and said: "Riding and shooting is happy, but Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and temporary happiness cannot be exchanged for peace in the world." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Zhang Yang is right, and the old minister also thinks so." ”

First taking a deep breath, Li Shimin looked at Wei Chigong.

"The last general is going to rectify military discipline!"

After Wei Chigong finished speaking, he hurriedly left with three or two generals.

Seeing that the emperor in front of him took his gaze back again, Zhang Yang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, can you talk about state affairs now?" ”

Li Shimin nodded slowly, "Speak." ”

Looking at Wei Zheng again, Zhang Yang said loudly: "The minister thinks that it is natural for the court to rectify the temple, but it is only temporary, and now the investigation is like a gust of wind blowing, and it will not be long before someone will do it, the temple does not pay taxes, and it is not only His Majesty's courtiers, but also businessmen, if it is me, in order to avoid paying taxes, I will directly give the temple in the form of incense money, and the temple will turn its head and give the next family this transaction The court will not receive a penny of taxes." ”

"100,000 guan will have 10,000 guan in taxes, and the minister has made more money, and saved 10,000 guan more......"

"You dare!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly stood up.

Zhang Yang continued: "It's just an analogy, Your Majesty doesn't want to be so excited. ”

Li Shimin trembled with anger, "You can't do this for example." ”

"The minister understands, the minister will not do this."

When Li Shimin realized this way of avoiding taxes, his eyes darkened again.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji was surprised that he could operate like this, and the temple had indeed not paid taxes.

I didn't expect that others wouldn't do it, Tian Fu would naturally be careful, but the tax payment of businessmen has always been very ambiguous, and it is difficult for the DPRK and China to manage it.

Zhang Yang's statement is also reasonable, if you don't care about it, how much tax Datang has lost.

Eldest Sun Wuji didn't dare to think how many people were doing this now.

Not to mention the chaos that has occurred in the temple because of it.

Li Shimin is short of money, very short of money, and in the past two years, grain has been abundant, but money tax has always been a hard condition.

The emperor has the money and the confidence to build the Taiye Pool.

"In that case, do you think I should manage the temple better?"

After receiving Wei Zheng's nod, Zhang Yang raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, now the measures of the DPRK and China can play a deterrent role, but this effect is also temporary, just like Shengguang Temple has so much money, they are sure that it is incense money, and the DPRK is helpless Yes and no." ”

Admitting that it is difficult to be frustrated, this matter is also met with various obstacles, Li Shimin nodded slowly.

Zhang Yang said again: "Your Majesty, just like weeds, wildfires can't be burned, spring breezes blow and grow, governance can't just be an overnight thing, but a long-term thing, and this kind of governance must be continued for a long time." ”

"How can it last for a long time?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhang Yang continued: "First of all, the number of monks in the temple should be controlled, not more than a dozen, if the number is too large, the court can ask them to return to the world. ”

Zhang Yang took two steps back and forth, "It is necessary to give the Li people the right to investigate, with the supervision of thousands of people, and the local government and the central government must give the channel for investigation, only by giving the masses the right to investigate, can they not dare to be so unscrupulous." ”

"Once it is verified that the person who made the report and the local government are exempted from taxes and money, this reward must be given sufficiently to give sufficient incentives, and the evil forces that dare to obstruct it will not be severely punished, and this kind of investigation must not be allowed to become a risk."
