Chapter 11 Tianzhou Joins the Army (Happy Birthday to Qianxun Daotong)

It only took Luo Xingwen a day and a half to pass through the reckless mountains of Tonghai Zhao and Montenegro Zhao from Tianzhou, and rushed to the Nanwu Prefecture Law Department to report for duty.

Qing Gu was a little surprised: "You didn't find a Jindan Daoist to send you over?"

Luo Xingwen said: "Xiaguan came by fast horse, although there are Jindan in Tianzhou, they are all sect masters, where will they give me a special trip?"

Qinggu said: "But you are a state law secretary to join the army!"

Luo Xingwen was ashamed and said: "Xiaguan was born in a poor family, and he is not a monk of a major sect, and he is an official in a different place, where is the command to move the big sect in the week." ”

Since the people have worked so hard to arrive, Liu Xuanji can only put away the unreliable fantasies in his heart and perform his duties normally.

The file book submitted by Luo Xingwen shows that there are three sects and ten Taoist halls in Tianzhou, and only one has a license ticket, which is named Tonggumen, which is probably ranked after the 700th. This shows the gap with Koto Prefecture.

Not to mention that compared with Huiji County, which has 36 licensed ticket sects, Huiji County alone takes out a Shanyin County, and Tianzhou is far inferior.

In the whole of Tianzhou, there are more than 1,200 monks, but it is only the number of students, if you talk about the real number, according to Luo Xingwen, it is good to have 600, and half of the monks are "studying abroad" all year round.

This number is indeed pitiful, and it cannot be compared with Nanwu Prefecture at all, which is only one-tenth of the monks enrolled in Nanwu Prefecture. If you include the monks who stayed in Nanwuzhou, it is only one-fifteenth or even one-thirtieth.

Yin Shu, who is eager to seek merit, doesn't care whether there are more or fewer monks in Tianzhou, that is a matter for Gu Changshi to consider, he only cares about whether there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions: "These thirteen sect and Taoist halls, who is the thorn in the head? Which one is difficult to get? The dignified law division joined the army, and there was no one who wanted to see him off, so I was afraid that I would need to knock and knock." ”

Luo Xingwen said: "There are only three Jindan in this state, all of them are the head of the sect, and they are specially designed to send me down the mountain, and they are not the same. If you want to talk about thorns, in fact, there are no thorns, and the taxes that should be paid are not less than a penny, speaking of which, they can be regarded as law-abiding. It's just that when the law department asks for something, not everything should be promised, but it is normal. ”

Yin Shu was disappointed and asked Liu Xuanji, who was looking through the account books in the hall: "Liu joins the army, how much is the tax?"

Liu Xuanji looked at it and replied: "One hundred times the sect, seventy times the Taoist hall, one hundred donations and one hundred donations from the Tonggu Gate, two times a year for scattered cultivation, and an annual income of 1,500 yuan. ”

Luo Xingwen said: "It's really helpless, it wasn't that high, but the Sanyuan Palace of the Chongxuan Administration collects spirit stones, and the price of spirit stones has been rising in the past two years, and if you want to exchange for the quota of six hundred spirit stones, you can only collect more and more." We didn't dare to be greedy for ink, so we handed it over. ”

Taking Tianzhou as an example, the Chongxuan Department has changed from 600 per year to 5,000 per year. In terms of Huaixian Pavilion, the huge amount of money handed over in the previous spiritual stone veins was reduced and reduced, and 5,000 were handed over to the Chongxuan Department in the name of Tianzhou.

As for the monks in Tianzhou, how much tax they pay now depends on the meaning of Huaixian Pavilion, so now that they are talking, Luo Xingwen is a little nervous, staring at Liu Xuanji, waiting for him to announce the amount of taxes.

Liu Xuanji said: "The policy of Huaixian Pavilion is that taxes will no longer be compulsory in the future, but it will be re-issued. In the future, in the land of the two edicts and eight states, the system of cultivation certificates will be implemented, and monks who want to claim the cultivation certificate will receive each certificate twice a year. ”

Luo Xingwen thought for a moment and confirmed: "No more compulsory levy?"

Liu Xuanji said: "Everything is voluntary, if you want a card ticket and a cultivation certificate, you need to pay, if you don't want it, it is equivalent to tax exemption." ”

Luo Xingwen asked again: "Who issued this card ticket and cultivation certificate?"

Liu Xuanji shook his head: "How is it possible, in the future, the Chongxuan Department will not issue any more tickets, the edict is very clear, even in the Southern Wuzhou, the land of the two edicts and eight states, all the cultivation affairs are handled by the Huaixian Pavilion, and the tickets and cultivation certificates are naturally issued by the Huaixian Pavilion." ”

This is a completely new approach, which means that the Tianzhou Law Department no longer has to focus on collecting taxes each year. Whoever wants a card ticket and a practice certificate will pay for it.

"If, the lower official is saying that if all the sect and Taoist halls do not apply for license tickets, and all the monks do not apply for cultivation certificates, what will the Huaixian Pavilion do? Will the sect be ordered to dissolve? Or will it directly arrest people?" Luo Xingwen immediately asked the key question.

Liu Xuanji replied: "Definitely not, what should be or what." It's just that the sect that does not have a ticket, the Huaixian Pavilion does not recognize its identity as a cultivation sect, and is not allowed to participate in the Nanwu Prefecture Spirit Stone Auction, which is not under the protection of the Huaixian Pavilion. Monks who do not have a cultivation certificate are not allowed to enter southern Xinjiang to hunt and mine, and the rest of them are also regarded as ordinary mortals. Specific provisions will be introduced one by one in the future. ”

"You are not allowed to participate in the Lingshi Auction in Nanwu Prefecture? What about the Lingshi Auction in the Spring and Autumn Pawnshop in Montenegro County?"

"Huaixian Pavilion will issue an edict from Montenegro, and follow it. Liu Xuanji smiled again: "Moreover, in the future, there will be fewer and fewer spirit stone auctions in the Spring and Autumn Pawnshop." ”

Luo Xingwen asked again: "What if I go to the Su Immortal Pavilion or the Duqiao Sect's Spirit Stone Auction?"

Liu Xuanji picked a thumbs up, if he could get the spirit stone from others, the Huaixian Pavilion would only be happy for everyone. ”

Let Luo Xingwen digest for a moment, Liu Xuanji continued: "In the future, the Tianzhou Law Department will report to my Nanwu Prefecture Law Department on official business, and as soon as the affairs are dispatched by the Nanwu State Law Department, can Luo join the army do it?"

"The subordinate obeys the order!"

"From now on, the Huaixian Pavilion and the Southern Wuzhou Law Department will only recognize Luo to join the army, and we will not recognize any other appointments in the imperial court. We also received an official letter from the government affairs hall, the officials of the law department of each state and county, the government will no longer pay salaries, and the monthly salary of Luo joining the army in the future will be distributed by the law department of Nanwu Prefecture. According to the meaning of the owner of the Gu Pavilion, the salary in the future is divided into three parts, calculated separately according to the cultivation, function and performance, and finally added up to the conclusion, I can give Luo to join the army a bottom, no less than one hundred and twenty spirit stones per year, pay attention to the spirit stones, in the future, Luo will know the difference between them......"

"Yes. ”

"How many people are there in the Tianzhou Law Division now?

"Not counting the lower officials, there are fourteen people, two scribes, eight ordinary station classes who have no practice, and four monks arrest fast. In addition, Tianzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, and the county lieutenants and Facao in each county also belong to the first line of the law department, and there are 87 people in the five counties, of which the county lieutenants and Facao are all monks. ”

Liu Xuanji and the others all knew that there were a total of one hundred and two people in the Tianzhou Law Division, including fifteen monks.

After understanding the situation in Tianzhou clearly, Liu Xuanji went to the study of Changshi Mansion, and at this time, Gu Zuo was discussing with the former governor about the salary of the law department of each state.

ps: Today is the fifth birthday of Qianxun Daotong, I wish Daotong a happy birthday, thrive, and a future with boundless mana!
