Chapter 242: Illegal Monk

"Although your mother can understand what you do, the people in Zhuangzi may not be able to understand it." Wang sighed.

"Don't expect them to understand." Xuan Shijing smiled: "There are also those people from the Yushitai of Chang'an City, just let them jump around, wait for a few days, and it is estimated that they will not be able to jump up." ”

"You." In the face of Xuan Shijing, the Wang family didn't know what to say, his son grew up and had his own opinions, so he didn't say much, anyway, the way forward was his own.

What is called Heng Mei coldly pointing at Qianfu, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow, Xuan Shijing praised his noble sentiments in his heart.

"Didn't my son accompany you today?" Xuan Shijing asked, usually at this time, it should be Jinyang by the Wang family's side.

"The son said that he was sorting out something in the study, so he went with her, saying that Jing'er, you are busy with these things all day, and the son is also busy, so she is a princess, and she married into our family, but she followed you." Wang smiled.

"After all, she is from the Li family, and she can't be idle, so my son will go to the study to see her first." Xuan Shijing said.

"Well, go ahead." Wang nodded.

Xuan Shijing came to the study, pushed the door in, and saw Jin Yang writing something on the bookcase.

"What are you busy with?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Most of the temples in Chang'an City have been investigated clearly, the news sent by Jinyiwei, the concubine body has been sorted out, and now I am about to write a letter to the prince." Jin Yang raised his head and looked at Xuan Shijing and said.

Xuan Shijing's gaze fell on the ledger and various letters and materials on the bookcase in front of Jin Yang.

"What are these?" Xuan Shijing stepped forward, picked up a sorted booklet and flipped through it.

"Well, when I was in the Daozheng Workshop before, I cleaned it up at night." Jin Yang responded.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xuan Shijing smiled: "This matter should not be done by you. ”

"Although the concubine is married to her husband, she is still the princess of the Tang Dynasty after all, and the concubine is doing this, the husband can understand, and the concubine is already very happy." Jin Yang said with a smile.

"I'll help you." Xuan Shijing said.

"Why did the husband change his temper today, and he was not afraid of trouble?" Jin Yang was curious.

Regarding Buddhism and Taoism, his husband always said that there were too many involved, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward, but today he was abnormally wanting to make a move, which had to make people curious.

"Today, those monks of Fahua Temple are still in Zhuangzi, and they are very unpleasant, and they threaten me before leaving, since this is the case, let's have a good time with them, and see who can play whom." Xuan Shijing said: "Look at the attitude of the bald donkey, if you are good to him, he will smile, a reclining Buddha and compassionate, not good to him, just like smashing the Buddha statue in his temple, and instantly people will become black, such a monk, it is not too much to say that it is a scourge." ”

It's not good to eat fasting and chant scriptures, and run to Xuan Shijing's fiefdom to threaten Xuan Shijing, this is the Buddha? This is Chiguoguo's ruffian, right?

For those who pay "protection money", they are friends, don't pay? That's the enemy, huh?

"There was a conflict between the husband and the people of Fahua Temple today?" Jin Yang asked.

From the morning to now, Jin Yang has been in the study except for a trip to the Wang family to ask for peace, so she doesn't know what news is outside.

"Hmm." Xuan Shijing responded, although he told Jinyang about today's conflict with the monks of Fahua Temple and the people on Zhuangzi about their own statements.

"The husband doesn't have to appreciate it, the matter of the husband building a school on the Zhuangzi to recruit the students of the Zhuangzi has not yet spread among the people, so those Zhuanghu men naturally don't know that the husband is also for their good." Jin Yang comforted.

"This is the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles?" Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly: "Forget it, let's work." ”

Xuan Shijing stood still beside Jin Yang and began to help Jin Yang sort out those things together, Jin Yang was writing a letter to Li Chengqian, and Xuan Shijing looked through all the information he had collected, some places were changed, and some needed evidence and further verification, Xuan Shijing sorted them out, and sent someone to send a letter to the Shenhou Mansion to investigate these things in depth.

If you can't get evidence that they really occupy the fertile land, illegally take in wild monks and collect money, then everything they are doing now is in vain, and it has become a thankless effort.

"Judging from the information from the Shenhou Mansion, these temples recruit ten times more monks than the documents issued by the imperial court...... This is just the ...... around Chang'an City" Xuan Shijing said: "So many people have run to become monks, if there is no benefit in this, I don't believe it anyway, if you want to know what the real temple looks like, you only need to raid a temple to know." ”

"Raid the temple? I'm afraid it's unlikely. Jin Yang said: "Not to mention how lively and popular the temple is in Chang'an City because of Master Xuanzang's affairs now, even in ordinary times, if you want to raid the temple, unless you have a definite reason, it is ...... My father would not have given such an order. ”

"Then come up with a definite reason." Xuan Shijing said: "Is there one in this place?" Xuan Shijing pointed to the information on the table.

It is said that there is no one in ten legal monks in the temple.

"Since the imperial court has issued a formal document for recruiting monks to the temple, it means that the identity of a monk must be certified by the government, and the official family is controlling the temple, but these temples do not obey the control of the government and privately recruit so many monks into the temple, which is a crime." Xuan Shijing said: "Besides, if the official family wants to renovate a temple, what crimes can't be listed? In particular, the ministers of the three provinces are even better at this. ”

"How can you listen to your husband's words, it's like the officials of the three provinces often charge people with crimes." Jin Yang smiled: "But...... If you really want to talk about the crime of weaving people with a needle, unless this temple is really flawless, otherwise, it is really as the husband said, and it is not difficult to give the exact reason. ”

"That's it." Hyun Shijing smiled.

There are a lot of temples in Chang'an City, and the news that Jinyi Wei has come back from the investigation is also very mottled, before Jinyang was relatively rough because of the time relationship, Xuan Shijing screened it again, in addition to retaining the letters in the important temples, there are also a few account books of temple property, which are shocking.

I believe that as long as His Majesty Li Er sees this account book, it is impossible to be indifferent.

Just the temple in Chang'an City, how much tax revenue has the treasury lost?

After all, there is no need to pay taxes on the monk's temple, which is clearly stipulated by the government.......
