In the spirit of the dead friends not dying and the poor way, the ministers felt that it was not very difficult to accept the destruction of the Buddha.

When the emperor destroyed the Buddha, the court was rich. If the court has money, it will be able to support the war in all directions. The emperor did not have to deal with the gentry and officials.

What the government and the opposition are most afraid of is that there will be another Emperor Taizu. The days when killing a minister was like killing a chicken, absolutely no one wanted to experience it anymore.

Wenchen, he still has a little conscience more or less. Everyone is a human spirit, and it can be seen that since the emperor ascended the throne, the objects of money grabbing have involved eunuchs in the inner court, old nobles, some military generals, Buddhism, and Taoism, but only for the ministers and gentry, they have been going around very deliberately.

And not only did they not rob the gentry, but they also gave a big increase in money and a big reduction in business taxes. Touching his conscience, he said that the emperor was enough to save face.

This is also the main reason why the emperor made all kinds of absurdities, but the ministers always remained calm.

Zhu Qiyu waited left and right, and did not wait for a minister to jump out against him, so he had to continue: "I still say the same thing, I don't want to continue to be exploited by Buddhism, but to exploit Buddhism in turn."

The Taizu system divides Buddhists into monks, monks, and Zen monks.

And I, for example, want to reform this a little:

For Zen monks, it is still like the Taizu system, and they are honest in the deep mountains to participate in meditation and pure cultivation. The imperial court has already issued a Zen monk to maintain the status quo.

However, in the future, a unified examination is required. The content of the exam is also very simple, in addition to being proficient in the most basic Buddhist scriptures, but also to be able to sit in meditation for seven consecutive days without interruption, can be issued by the imperial court to the Zen monk degree.

Later, the Sanglu Division and the Daolu Division were assigned to the Ministry of Industry and became the two standard Ministry of Industry Officials Division. The royal family is no longer allowed to arbitrarily make a mistake. ”

Zhou Chen thought that he had misheard, and hurriedly confirmed: "Holy Lord, are you sure that you are transferring the Sanglu Division and the Daolu Division to the Ministry of Industry, not the Household Department or the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again: "I'm not wrong, you will be clear when you listen to me talk about it." The above mentioned the most harmless Zen monks, and the next is the monks.

It's still the old way for the old man, and the new way for the newcomer. If you already have a degree, you won't toss them.

New monks, who want to be monks, want to teach the Dharma to sentient beings, and expound the meaning of the scriptures, no problem, you can.

But they had to go to Tianzhu and serve Shakyamuni Buddha for thirty years. After returning to Daming, I went to the Ministry of Engineering for the exam. The subject is simpler, as long as they can write thirty Sanskrit scriptures silently, they are considered qualified. In the future, they will be able to preach in the Buddhist temples of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang Wen smiled heartily and caught the emperor's words: "Holy Lord, as far as the minister knows, the Liberation Sect has almost been destroyed in Tianzhu." ”

Zhu Qiyu teased: "Then it has nothing to do with me, a Buddha who can't even shelter his hometown, if you still have to believe in him, what does it matter to me."

Anyway, if you want to spread his scriptures for the Buddha, you must go to Tianzhu to bathe in the light of the Buddha and be influenced by the Buddha for 30 years. When I came back, I was able to write 30 Sanskrit scriptures silently, and I recognized that I was a true follower of the Buddha.

Otherwise, you are a false believer, don't think about buzzing in my land, like a swarm of flies.

Oh no, not like flies, but like mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are naturally sucking blood endlessly, which is similar to that of fake monks.

Anyway, from now on, no monk will want to lie on me and suck blood. ”

Wang Wen replied: "The saint is wise, and the national strength should be concentrated and used to pacify the four yi and love the people, how can it be wasted on these moths." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "As for the monks, they are responsible for doing things and holding Dharma meetings. I don't embarrass them, but in the future, they must hand over eighty percent of their income to the government.

For example, a certain monk who does white things for the people excessively earns ten taels of silver a year, must hand over eight taels of silver to the local government.

The court will not leave this money to the local officials. For example, local officials can use the money to hire their subordinates, and they don't have to pay for it themselves.

You said that a person became a county magistrate, prefect or the like, and when he took office, he had to hire his own masters, staff and other subordinate officials. If it's a corrupt official, that's fine. If he is a clean official, isn't it embarrassing for him to have so much money.

Leave some money for the local officials, although it is ridiculous for me, the emperor, to do it, but I can't knock the bone and suck the marrow, and I don't let the people below drink any soup.

Moreover, according to the Taizu system, each state and government can only have one big temple. Again, I stipulate that there may be no more than 10 small government-run temples in the county.

All monks must live in a government-run temple, and they must pay 80% of their income in full for their rituals and puja meetings. If you dare to sneak it, you will be immediately deprived of your degree, demoted to a lowly status, and given me hard labor. ”

Zhu Qiyu added: "And all the alms received by all temples in the Ming Dynasty must be handed over to the government." This part of the money is divided in half between the court and the locality.

There are five or six hundred thousand monks in the Ming Dynasty, and they must all pay taxes to me.

If you don't want to accept my exploitation, it's okay, no problem, I respect them.

These people can go to the Ministry of Industry to register, and the imperial court will arrange them uniformly, send them out of the country as a gift, and politely send them to Tianzhu to serve the Buddha, and I will definitely not make it difficult for them.

Buddha is so good, they don't need to stay in the territory of a tyrant like me. ”

The second assistant Wei Ji echoed his words: "What the Holy Lord said is very true, they love the Buddha, so they send them to serve the Buddha, and the benevolence of the Holy One spreads far and wide. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded appreciatively: "In addition to teaching monks, preaching monks, and Zen monks, I will add another line of monks."

Monk means ascetic. This is for monks who are willing to work hard and support themselves.

If there is something to do in the Ministry of Works, you can enslave the monks to do coolies, and then pay them a certain amount of money. When there is nothing to do, the monks can help the elderly and the weak, and do good deeds.

Monks, monks, and monks should be included in the unified management of the Ministry of Industry and contribute to the Ming Dynasty, just like the craftsmen under the name of the Ministry of Industry.

It is precisely because of this that I assigned the Sanglu Division and the Daolu Division to the Ministry of Industry for management.

Taoist blood sucking is not so bad, and I will slowly adjust my strategy against Taoism according to the actual situation in the future. ”

Zhu Qiyu finished talking about the reform strategy of Buddhism in one go, and no one dared to oppose it now. This is because once this reform is carried out, the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and local officials will all benefit considerably.

Whoever dares to oppose it will be besieged by a large number of people.

Especially those local officials who are clean and clean, they are not greedy or occupied, and the saint can easily get a reasonable and legal income for everyone, which can greatly improve the quality of life of the clean officials. As a result, there are even ministers who have lost their conscience who dare to stand up against it, and it will be over if everyone sprays you to death or not.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Qiyu prepared to get up and go home.

Unexpectedly, Luo Tong hurriedly stopped: "Shengshang, there is still something in the military department, the border of the Chen soldiers in North Korea, and the Jurchen departments are also ready to move."

After the military department deliberated, it was decided that a heavy minister should be sent to the military affairs of the governor of Liaodong. ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned by Luo Tong's question, and Wenchen was in a hurry to go to the governor's military affairs, which was a bit strange. After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked rhetorically: "Who does the Ministry of War propose to go?" ”

Luo Tong replied: "The Ministry of War proposes that Jiang Shilang go to guard Liaodong. ”

It turned out to be Jiang Yuan, and now Zhu Qiyu understood: the first assistant of this term is Wang Wen, who belongs to the first Wenchen of Conglong, and his status is unshakable. The next first assistant, he belongs to Xu Youzhen. And Jiang Yuan and Xu Youzhen are about the same age and qualifications, so it is understandable to want to come out and fight.

Xu Youzhen had the water control before, and the recovery of Annan later, and the credit was getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yuan seemed to be in a hurry, and he also wanted to go out to make a contribution.

It's a good thing that there is competition between ministers, Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, Shenwu Hou is in charge of the slave and the capital division, and Jiang Aiqing is in charge of Liaodong."

The 30,000 Beijing troops brought back by Nanhe Hou will be mobilized to Liaodong next spring. With these 30,000 elites, it's enough to do a career.

I won't assign you any more to oversee the army, you will be in charge of military affairs, and you will act on camera. ”

Jiang Yuan was overjoyed and thanked him.

Zhu Qiyu dragged his tired body back home, and plunged into the hot spring pool, soaking in it and refusing to come out.

In the afternoon, the cabinet prepared a holy decree and officially recruited Wei Tonglie, the king of Anmiao. A complete policy of Buddhist reform was also released at the same time.

Thanks to the evil Taoist for rewarding 10,520 coins
