"Young master, there is news, the people of Daxingshan Temple really went to investigate the child, and found the child's mother. As you might expect, the monks want to secretly come to the rescue. Shall we stop it? "In the Song Guogong Mansion, a subordinate came to report.

Xiao Rui glared, "Why stop it?" ”

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "What if the old monk is cured...... No, young master, you can't be cured by a divine doctor, and the old monk is delusional about curing the child's mother. It's the subordinates who are too worried. ”

Xiao Rui slapped the back of the head, "What do you mean?" If the old monk of Daxingshan Temple can cure the woman, do you still want to stop it? ”

Yes? The subordinates were weak and did not dare to raise their heads.

Xiao Rui reprimanded: "Idiot! Our fight with the monk is just a personal vendetta. After all, Young Master Ben is not an immortal, and not all diseases can be cured. If the old monk has the ability to heal, then the child does not have to become an orphan and save people's lives. For the sake of our personal vendettas, is it impossible to kill an innocent life? ”

The subordinates hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Subordinates should be damned, subordinates should be damned......"

Xiao Rui kicked, "Get up." Tell the brothers not to be discovered, and not to stop the monks, as long as they are not bad for the sick, then leave them alone. Secretly protect the safety of patients. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go."

Watching his subordinates flee with smoke, Li Junxian said with a dark face: "Young master, don't blame, these guys do all the things they do on weekdays, and they are inevitably a little stupid to do anything else." ”

"Fifth brother, your own people, just teach me a lesson, are you still worried about me holding grudges?" Xiao Rui saw through Li Junxian's thoughts.

Li Junxian smiled awkwardly, "Young Master, if the other party saves someone, then wouldn't our plan be ......?"

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are many ways to take revenge, and I can't put my eggs in the same basket." Using a hard-working doll as a knife, I can't do it, it's more of a pit in the Xingshan Temple, by the way, help that kid deceive some magic medicine to save people, maybe there will be a high monk who can appear? ”

Li Junxian exclaimed: "Young Master, even a miracle doctor like you can't do it, is there anyone more divine than you?" A group of bald monks, as you say, aren't they just a group of swindlers who collect money? ”

Xiao Rui sighed: "You can't look at it like that. There are thousands of monks in the world, and perhaps most of them are liars. But there are still real high-ranking monks. The practice passed down by the Buddha is the true law, but the descendants of later generations have taken the wrong path and used it in the evil way, thus harming the people. ”

But it is undeniable that Buddhism's ability to win people's hearts and spread around is very clever, and among the millions of Buddhist believers in the world, if there is a good qualification and sincere practice of Buddhism, there will be a great monk in the end. Such a person is a true sage in the world, and our grievances return to grievances, and admiration returns to admiration, which is different. ”

Li Junxian was even more confused, "Young master, according to what you said, there are also good people among the monks. But according to your plan, it seems that you want to drive Buddhism out of the Central Plains? ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "This is not a contradiction. It doesn't have to be because something is good that we have to use it. Although the Dharma is good, there are too many foolish people in the world, and the final disadvantages of spreading it outweigh the advantages. Alas...... Maybe I'm a little arrogant and want to make choices for the people of the world with my own strength. But whether or not the Dharma can really be driven out of the Central Plains, I'm not sure. ”

"Why? Is there anything in this world that you can't do, young master? The last will not believe. "Li Junxian, this is a bit of pure blind worship.

Xiao Rui hurriedly interrupted: "Stop, stop, I'm not an immortal, Fifth Brother, your Majesty listened to what you said, am I still alive?" ”

Just then, a familiar voice appeared at the door, "Am I so narrow-minded? ”

The two people in the house subconsciously got up, looked at the door together, and hurriedly saluted after seeing it clearly.

Li Eryi quietly came to the Xiao Mansion of Song Guogong in civilian clothes, Xiao Ruixin said, the servants in the house are really waste, and His Majesty can't stop them.

"Boy, I'm curious, how do you want to deal with Buddhism?"

Xiao Rui personally poured water for the tea, and Li Junxian couldn't sit down with him at this time, standing at the door as a guard.

Looking at the old father-in-law's gaze on the school examination, Xiao Rui said smoothly: "That depends on Your Majesty's plan." If you don't support it, the kid will retaliate against the Daxingzenji family at most. It has nothing to do with Buddhism. ”

Li Er snorted coldly, "Hmph, you're smart." The Buddha gate tree has big roots and deep roots, which is no less than the alliance of five surnames and seven hopes. Over the years, it has been developing in secret, and I asked people to check it, especially in recent years, the annexation of land by Buddhism has become more and more serious. ”

Xiao Rui understood, annexing land is a taboo of the imperial court.

Because the annexed land is not taxed, why? The five surnames and seven wangs are because of the aristocratic status, and more than half of the officials in the imperial court are from these backgrounds, so it's not easy to take advantage of the loopholes?

What about Buddhism? To put it more simply, a sentence of people outside the Buddhist family, these fields are voluntarily donated by the donor, and they belong to the temple fields, and the fields outside the square are not under the jurisdiction of the secular dynasty, so they are not taxed. If there is a thorn in the head to forcibly levy taxes, then I'm sorry, many senior officials in the court, and even your top boss is a follower of the Buddha, all they need is a letter, who dare to collect taxes from our monastery?

Agriculture is the foundation of a country, especially in ancient societies, and food is the lifeblood. The vast majority of the imperial court's tax revenue came from the field tax.

The land has been taken away by the nobles and temples, what should the common people do to cultivate it?

If the nobles pay the same taxes as the temple land, the court can no longer care who cultivates the field, as long as I can receive food.

Herein lies the problem, the property of the nobility and the temple is not taxed. But the land in the hands of the common people is getting less and less, which means that the tax that the court can receive is getting less and less.

So, the emperor doesn't hate the family of gate valves? Don't hate temples?

"Okay, I'll let go of that kid, whoever dares to come out to help Buddhism come out, that is, to find death, with your support, Xiao Rui is not afraid of anyone." Xiao Rui patted his chest and promised, "Even if you can't completely drive out the cancer of Buddhism, you can suppress the Buddhism Sect that can't get up for a hundred years." ”

Li Er didn't doubt Xiao Rui's ability, and even had some expectations, but when he heard Xiao Rui's words, he smiled: "No, the court won't come forward this time, and I can't give you any overt support." will send someone to come over and secretly cooperate with you, and you can give you someone or a file. It's just that I can't help you bear the pressure on the surface. ”

"Boy, I'm optimistic about you!"

patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, and Li Er laughed and left.

Xiao Rui stood on the spot, I don't know if I cried or laughed, I, did I blow a little too big just now?
