Volume 4 Chapter 3 Monks also have to pay taxes!

.“ Tianshui Jiang's ...... Tianshui Jiang's ......"

After listening to his younger brother's story, Zhang Fu's face sank like water, and he didn't speak for a long time. Tianshui is not far from Hanzhong, and he also knows a little about the Jiang family. Everyone has the vices of wealthy families. But in general, Jiang still acted in a measured manner. If, as his brother said, the boy might not be able to tell anyone, then it would be fine. Even if the Jiang family knew, at this moment, there should be no provocation. However, Zhang Fu is Zhang Lu's eldest son, and he has always been doing things by his father's side, and his understanding of the situation is far greater than that of two children who have never been out, and he has more things to consider.

The Zhang family's Five Dou Mi Sect is deeply rooted in Hanzhong, and no matter who is in power, they must look up to the Zhang family. However, when the Son of Japan sacrifices to heaven and earth, he doesn't care about ghosts and gods. I'm afraid I don't necessarily have a good impression of the Zhang family. If you have nothing to do, you won't have anything to do. But if someone is troubled by it, and the Son of Heaven knows that the Zhang family has a grudge, then nothing can happen.

Thinking of the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards ghosts and gods, Zhang Fu was annoyed at first, and then couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the edict of enthronement, the Son of Heaven openly declared, "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin", and warned local officials not to fake auspiciousness. It's no wonder that His Majesty can't stand it, even if the giant elephant in the rising sea is over, the finch flock can barely endure it, and even the ungrown and deflated ears of wheat are reported as auspicious - the level of fraud is too poor!

Immediately, Zhang Fu restrained his smile.

In the second half of last year, His Majesty issued a decree requiring all denominations to make their texts available and made public for review; Meantime. Sects are also required to publicly disclose their accounts of income and expenditure, and to pay a tax equal to one-tenth of their income; There are many more such restrictions.

The matter of accounts is a cliché, when His Majesty was still in Qingzhou. I did something similar. But. It was just a sacrifice. Zhang Fu was worried about the canon, and the Wudou Rice Sect developed among officials and doctors, to a large extent. The place to rely on is the secret book - the Yellow Book. Same as the title of the book. The Tantra is a veritable h-book, and its main content is about double cultivation. Obviously, the Tantra is never to be made public.

This does not bode well!

Sometimes. Zhang Fudu wanted to persuade his father to simply present the "Yellow Book" and let His Majesty decide. 1. Your Majesty's energy volume. Ten will laugh it off. Zhang Lu couldn't make up his mind. His Majesty will definitely praise Zhang Ludi for his loyalty, but will he like it. That's another story. However, it is impossible to hide it. This time when they moved into Hebei, almost all the backbone forces of the Wudoumi Sect were selected, and the sparrow really lived up to its reputation!

Zhang Fu made up his mind, this matter must be handled as soon as possible, immediately!

At first, Zhang Yue thought that it would be fine, but seeing that the eldest brother had not spoken, his face was heavy, and his heart couldn't help but rise, his slender fingers were quietly twisted together, and his little face turned white little by little.

Zhang Fuxin scared her, so he stubbornly ignored it. After thinking for a long time, he stretched out his hand to beckon Zhang Yue and Zhang Gui in front of him, and Zhang Fu asked solemnly: "Yue'er, do you know that it is wrong?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Fu was very angry, Zhang Yue thought that the consequences were very serious, her voice was choked, and tears were about to fall.

My sister has been close to Zhang Fu since she was a child, she is his little tail and little pistachio, and he always spoils her and lets her bully her younger brother. With his sister's pitiful appearance, Zhang Fu's heart softened when he looked at it.

Coughing, barely tensing his face, Zhang Fu taught his sister seriously: "Yue'er, your temper has to change!" Some things you can't do, some things you can't say, you're not a child anymore...... Otherwise, even if it's okay this time, you'll be killed sooner or later......

Don't cry! It's okay! ”

Zhang Yue's tears fell cracklingly, and Zhang Fu's tone immediately changed. Zhang Yue was guilty and scared, and after listening to the comfort of her eldest brother, she couldn't stop crying. In Zhang Fu's comforting voice, she cried loudly.

It's a coincidence. Zhang Yue has never been far away, and she has traveled thousands of miles over mountains and mountains along the way, but she is tired. Zhang Fu felt sorry for his sister and wanted her to take a good rest. But as soon as it rained, people sheltering from the rain crowded the station. In order to make room for the post station, only Zhang Fu, who was in an official position, went out in person. As a result, this happened.

finally comforted his sister, Zhang Fu began to scold his younger brother. This time, his tone was much more vicious. Fortunately, Zhang Gui handled it properly this time, Zhang Fu talked for a while, and then commented on the sub-village where he acted, and did not say much.

In the end, Zhang Fu told the two sisters and brothers, "This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again!" Whoever asks, they have to say that there is no such thing......"

Anyway, there was no one nearby in the rainy day, only the young man. When the time comes, it will be okay to say that "he was annoyed and ashamed to provoke a scene, so he deliberately falsely accused and framed him". Unfortunately, he was not near at that time. Otherwise, if you destroy his mouth, there will be no more things, and even if there is trouble, what can you do......

Zhang Fu's self-deprecating smile makes no sense to think about it now.

※※※※

"Master, monks also have to pay taxes," Zhang Han said with a kind smile.

Time has not left many traces on Zhang Han. Two years ago, he ascended the throne of God and unified the whole country, but he made a great wish in his life. Zhang Han was relieved of his losses, so he divided his powers, and worked for only three or four hours a day. The days were comfortable, Zhang Han was a little fatter, but his smile was more kind. However, he has been in the top position for a long time, and his majesty has long been fixed on him. No matter how kind the smile is, there is also a kind of condescending tendency.

"Your Majesty! It's not about money."

Zhi Lou Jia couldn't cry or laugh.

The monks are the people of Daqi, which cannot be denied! In this case, it seems that the payment of taxes should also be shared. However, where do monks have money, those are all believers who give to the Buddha, and in the whole world, where is there a reason to collect taxes from the gods and Buddhas?

Over the years, Zhi Lou Jiayu has become much older, his eyebrows and beard have changed from gray to snow-white, and they have also thinned a lot, his face is dark, and his wrinkles are like knife carvings. Fortunately, he runs all day long, his body is still healthy, and he looks kind when he smiles.

Over the years, Zhi Lou Jiayu has dealt with Zhang Han several times. It is a pity that although Zhang Han has Buddha nature (Zhi Lou Jia thought so), he had no intention of supporting him in preaching in Qingji. In view of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to suppress the influence of Huang Lao's learning, Tao Qian raised the Futu Temple, and the followers of Xuzhou were crowded, and Zhilou Jiayu went to Xuzhou to promote Buddhism. Only the disciples were left to preach in Qingji.

This time, it went very smoothly. Rongrong big Futu Temple, on the accumulation of gold plate, under the heavy building, and the pavilion is around, can accommodate 3,000 people, make a gold painting, clothes with brocade. Every time the Buddha bathing ceremony is held, there are more wine and dinners, and the tables are laid on the roadside, and there are often tens of thousands of people who come to eat and onlookers.

The cost of this is quite huge, however, Zhenrong is Tao Qian's fellow villager, and when Tao Qian first arrived in Xuzhou, he made a lot of efforts. He embezzled some money and food from it, and Tao Qian couldn't say anything. Moreover, the yellow scarf made him have an inexplicable fear of Taoism, so he was very supportive of the promotion of Buddhism. Tao Qian even openly stipulated that believers in Buddhism could reduce or even be exempted from taxes and military service. As a result, Buddhism quickly spread in Xuzhou. Historically, Buddhism also spread throughout the Yangtze River with the southward movement of Zhenrong.

Speaking of which, the theory of Buddhism is very complete, and it is quite tempting for both Li Shu and the rulers. Buddhism pays attention to cultivating the next life, since it is the cultivation of the next life, then this life is not important, and it is very rich in the spirit of Aq. Buddhism anesthetizes the spirit of believers, persuades believers to endure, and is also conducive to stable rule in history.

Of course, this is all gossip. Nowadays, the spread of Buddhism is far from ideal. Zhang Han did not like the weakness of Buddhism and did not support the spread of Buddhism. After occupying Xuzhou, Zhang Han was exempted from taxes and military service, and the people were treated equally, and those believers who came for reduction and exemption were naturally gone. And when he captured Xuzhou, Bojiao made a lot of meritorious contributions. There are many Futu temples in Xuzhou. was rewarded by Zhang Han to Bojiao.

Zhi Lou was in a hurry, so he came to Zhang Han to intercede. Zhang Han admired Zhang Han very much for his personality and knowledge, and gave him a little face. He returned to him the two Futu temples built by Zhi Lou Jiayu with his own funds. Thereafter. Zhi Lou Jiayu strengthened his contacts with Zhang Han. Zhilou Jiayu tasted the sweetness in Xuzhou, hoping to persuade Zhang Han to believe in Buddhism in order to promote Buddhism through administrative power.

This time. Zhang Han announced the Religious Decree to regulate religion. Many of the provisions contradict the interests of many sects, including Buddhism. Zhi Lou Jia was reluctant to be this up-and-coming bird, but he endured it again and again, and there were not many sects that opposed it. Zhi Lou Jiayu had no choice but to come out in person to talk about the item. I don't understand how it could be. But others can wait, but Zhilou Jiayu can't wait. Over the years, many denominations have suddenly sprung up. The competition is fierce. It's not easy to save some money. The disciples worked hard to make their fortunes, and the believers were frugal, and Zhang Han even had to collect taxes for this, which was too much!

Zhi Lou Jiayu naturally didn't know that most of the influential religions in the world were founded by Zhang Han.

No matter what, if you want the monk to pay taxes, Zhi Lou just can't figure it out! However, whether he said this matter or not, Zhang Han had to speak. Before starting, Zhi Lou Jia wanted to ease the atmosphere, and he first said Zhang Han's good words: "Your Majesty has great compassion in his heart, Guangxing benevolent government, virtue helps the world, and the whole world, Li Shu feels the same." In particular, the year before last, he changed the method of selecting women, and he has immeasurable merits in Buddha nature......"

"The master is wrong in saying this, I don't want to do to others what I don't want, I just act according to the teachings of the sages, push myself and others, and I can't talk about the Buddha-nature ......."

Zhang Han couldn't help laughing. It's ridiculous! A good person, once you believe in gods and Buddhas, you won't even be able to speak......

Zhi Lou Jia was not annoyed, and laughed and said, "What does Your Majesty think Buddha nature is?

Buddha nature is that little bit of compassion, that trace of kindness, that trance-like unbearability, that ......

The Confucian sage Mencius said that everyone has compassion; My Buddha Shakyamuni said that all living beings have Buddha nature. In fact, they mean the same thing......"

Zhang Han also laughed and interrupted Zhi Lou's words: "The master is wrong again!" I once heard a story about a Buddhist scripture......"

As soon as Zhang Han opened his mouth, Zhi Lou knew that what he said was the story of "the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagle and sacrificed himself to feed the tiger", and he couldn't help but put his hands together and lightly proclaim the Buddha's name in his mouth. At this time, very few Buddhist scriptures were translated, but the stories of Buddhist scriptures were passed down from oral to oral circulation. Cao Chong called the elephant, which is to imitate a Buddhist scripture story.

"Master, why do you want to explain this?"

Zhi Loujia was smiling, refreshed, and energetic, and very proud of his missionary skills—even Zhang Han knew the story of the Buddhist scriptures. So, he spoke about the great compassion of the Buddha in a radiant manner.

Zhang Han squinted his eyes and let him talk endlessly. If you have nothing to do, it's good to have someone to accompany you and chatter. The breeze blows from behind you, bringing the fragrance of bamboo. Kunshan is planted all over the world's famous bamboos, and when the breeze passes, the bamboo shadows are swaying. The wind shook the bamboo forest, the sound was very pleasant, and Zhang Han only felt a quiet feeling in his heart.

Located above Kunshan Mountain, the Heavenly Pavilion is the highest place in the palace, and from the open gate, you can see the activities in the palace at a glance. Zhang Han loves its scenery and often rests in the Tianlu Pavilion. After a long time, this place has become his exclusive use. Naturally, the mound of Kunshan has become a forbidden place.

After Zhi Lou finished speaking, Zhang Han told another story. This time, the story he told was "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf". Zhi Lou Jiayu's face was ugly, the Buddha name was no longer recited, and the spiritual head was gone. Obviously, through these two stories, Zhang Han vividly illustrated the differences between the two religions, compassion and Buddha nature are definitely not the same thing, and fiercely ridiculed Shakyache Chini's stupidity.

Zhang Han watched Zhi Lou's expression change, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he refused to show it, continued to finish the story, and asked him seriously: "Master, why is this solved?" ”

“……”

Zhi Lou Jia said that it was embarrassing, and it was really embarrassing. But I still have to say it, I coughed several times, and I didn't remember to say anything good. Zhang Han is also a smart person, and it is not so easy to get through the trick.

"Master, please use tea"

Xiao Qiao was kind-hearted, seeing Zhi Lou Jia's kind old face black and red, coughing one after another, he suddenly remembered his father from afar, and couldn't help but feel unbearable, so he gave him a cup of tea. That's when things were covered up.

It's rare to see Zhi Lou Jia make a fool of himself, what a good fun......

Zhang Han glanced at Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao couldn't help but stick out his tongue, the tip of his little pink tongue flashed between the pearl-like teeth, and the moving appearance made Zhang Han's heart move.
