That's how it is, people don't live all their lives for their own children, and now those who are monks don't have their own children, so why do they do this?

"What are you kidding, what you don't know, it doesn't mean that people don't, you know?"

Qin Shou looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with an expression of looking at a fool and said.

"How can you be sure you're right?"

Li Shimin asked, he was shocked now, and felt that his three views and cognition were about to be subverted, he never thought that these kind-hearted monks would still have such a side, and they kept saying that their merits were immeasurable, but they had done all these dirty things behind their backs!

But I can't make up my mind in my heart, does this stupid son know too much?

"Just look at those temples, how luxuriously they are built now, how magnificent! Even if it is compared to the palace, it is nothing more than that! ”

Qin Shou couldn't help but sigh with emotion, after coming here, he found that these Buddhist temples were really rich, and some temples were even better than the homes of local big families and local governments.

"If Your Majesty or Your Majesty's descendants open their minds in the future, and go to check the situation of temples and monks all over the country, they will definitely be angry to death! The power is huge, the land is numerous, and these are all going to affect the power of the imperial court! Your Majesty's heart is really big enough, but also, what Your Majesty cares about is the foreign enemies of Tubo and Tuyuhun, our Majesty is a Ming Jun, and his eyes only see that he wants to strengthen the country, and he has to face the wolves, tigers and leopards outside, and he has forgotten these moths in the house, and he has forgotten that he must first enrich the people and then strengthen the country! Ay! ”

Qin Shou said, but he didn't care much about these things.

Because the future of the Tang Dynasty is only Buddhism in the end, and if you really confront the imperial power, you will definitely not be an opponent.

Otherwise, how could Tang Wuzong in history save the Buddha so smoothly.

Li Shimin is now pondering in his heart, thinking about whether he has indulged those people too much in this regard, and those people, are they really so rich?

Yes, I'm going to check it out when I go back and see if this kid is right again!

If Lao Tzu knows which temple has made too much money, bah, it is too much cheating, I will want them all to spit it out!

If you don't spit out Lao Tzu, let Cheng Yanjin go over and talk about it!

Hum!

Originally, I wanted to listen to my son's persuasion to persuade his mother, but I didn't expect that I was educated again, this temple, monks, go back and solve it by yourself, and if these temple monks do anything illegal in the future, and want to escape the law of the Tang Dynasty, you ask Lao Tzu's big knife if he agrees!

Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin's squinting eyes, and knew that when they went back this time, they had more things to do, and they originally thought that these monks would come out and turn their fortunes, a little incense money, and buy two clothes.

That little tax on farming is enough to be self-sufficient, I didn't expect it! The family is so rich, the two of them feel that they must also check it carefully, they can't tighten their belts and live a life that fattens those people!

It turns out that they are clowns, thinking that people have no money, but in fact, they are the poorest!

"So is there any way to remedy it? In the end, the queen mother worships the Buddha, not the monks! ”

Empress Eldest Sun asked, she didn't even know that she had been used as a gun behind her back.

"The best way is to destroy the Buddha!" Qin Shou said.

"Destroy the Buddha?"

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and even the eldest grandson queen were taken aback.

This matter is also known to them, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have destroyed Buddha.

But there may really be Buddhist retribution behind this, and Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was killed by eunuchs two years after destroying Buddhism.

And Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty suddenly became seriously ill for no reason before the expedition and died.

It is said that there is no retribution, but there is really retribution!

The fate of these two Buddha destroyers is not very good.

"This, such a thing as retribution, what should I do?"

Li Shimin still asked with some concern.

"Then it depends on whether our majesty will not dare to destroy the Buddha for fear of retribution for his own little caution, or whether he can sacrifice small righteousness for the people of the world to fulfill everyone."

"And it doesn't mean that destroying the Buddha means exterminating the Buddhists, but it is just restricting some of the Buddhists' behaviors."

Qin Shou said: "Buddhism is as important as Taoism in the end, so if Your Majesty wants to strike, you must grasp both sides at the same time, and you can't let go of either side." ”

"How can you limit it?"

Li Shimin asked, it's okay to restrict and restrict these monks and Taoist priests, and he didn't kill them all, if there is retribution for this, then it will be unreasonable, it's not fun!

"For example, the temple is like the state capital of the ten provinces in the world, in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yangzhou, these relatively large state capitals, each of which has two temples left, and each temple has a maximum of thirty or fifty people, while the other state capitals in the world can each leave a temple, which is also divided into upper, middle and lower three classes, the upper class can have twenty people, the middle ten people, and the lower class only five people."

"And for many temples in the country, Lan Ruo can be demolished, and the construction materials of those temples that are demolished are managed by the imperial court in a unified manner, and are used to repair post stations, official offices, gold and silver Buddha statues are handed over to the state treasury, iron is used to make agricultural tools, bronze statues and bells are used to make coins, and the heaven and earth of the temple are nationalized, and those of slaves and maids are all nationalized."

"Moreover, it is necessary to strictly restrict those who are ordained monks, and those who dare to become monks without permission will be severely punished!" Qin Shou said.

"The amount of tax exemption for monks should also be limited to a certain extent, according to the population of the temple, how much tax exemption per person will have in a year, so that I don't know how much the tax will increase!"

"Also, if a monk encroaches on the land, he dares to violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and he is guilty of the same crime! Don't evade responsibility as a monk! It can reduce and avoid a lot of crimes and violations, so that the people can live a peaceful life! Qin Shou said.

"That's right, I'll tell the eldest grandson about this when I go back, kid, you're so smart!"

Li Shimin looked at his eldest son with shiny eyes, and said in his heart, like you and me, I didn't expect to see this key point when I look at the problem, let Wuji do it, he is an old fox, and there is a way!

"Then what do you think the queen mother is going to do?"

The eldest grandson queen asked the ghost, she didn't know why, she just felt that her name was Guanyin, this ......, and asked again: "Child, do you say that the queen's nickname Guanyin should be changed?" ”

"Auntie, what did you say about this, the queen's nickname you said to change it, do you think you are the queen?"

Qin Shou smiled: "You have such a big breath, don't talk like this next time, you scared me to death!" ”

"What do you want to change for the queen?"
