Chapter 518 Religious Taxes

As for the conflict against the warp team and the gentry......

That deal with a fart, Yang Feng likes this kind of thing to happen, not only did he not deal with it, but he also specially rewarded those members of the warp realm, and then used the Lin'an newspaper he had just started to issue to report in detail the cause of the whole incident, as for the result......

This kind of thing doesn't work out.

Those warp members sent the girl's family they rescued to Gushan, whether it was the squire or Renhe County, they definitely didn't have the courage to run to Yang Feng to ask for someone, as for catching those warp members, they didn't dare to do this, these were for Jia Yidao, at most, the squire thought he was unlucky, and because of the Lin'an newspaper, coupled with the reports of other tabloids in Lin'an, his reputation was also completely stinky, especially in those Lin'an tabloids, The evil deeds of an old man in his fifties who forcibly married a seventeen-year-old girl with false money and real deeds were vividly described, and the reputation of the old yin stick spread throughout Lin'an.

It is said that there were newspapers in the Southern Song Dynasty.

There are not only newspapers, but also many kinds of newspapers, but they are not standardized.

Among them, the official is all kinds of newspapers, which ordinary people have no right to read, only within the officials, similar to the initial reference news, and the other is the folk tabloid, whose name is also called tabloid, which is gray in nature, and is all anecdotal history, and even full of a lot of nonsense. When Cai Jing was in power in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were tabloids that wrote fake articles in his name, so that Cai Jing had to publicly clear his name, including the story of Yang Feng and Yan Guifei was also spread by the tabloids, and the ethical story of the gray prince was originally spread by the tabloids, so the truth and falsehood cannot be confirmed, but for this kind of newspaper, the official ban is actually prohibited, and even reading the tabloid will be fined.

Of course, this did not prevent the tabloids from becoming an important part of the lives of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, Lu You bought it when he soaked his cousin.

Yang Feng's Lin'an Newspaper was the first officially authorized private newspaper in the Southern Song Dynasty.

And it has an exclusive franchise.

Through those registered disciples, he gathered a large number of these tabloid practitioners, and then enriched them to his Lin'an Daily, so that these people who wandered in the gray area and struggled to survive became the registered disciples of the National Teacher and the regular journalists of the Song Dynasty.

These people are quite experienced, in fact, they are already amazing, these guys even have reporters, and they are also reporters with a special division of labor, or paparazzi, like rats peeping at the Great Song Dynasty from the royal family to the people to listen to all the useful news. Then they went back and printed cheap tabloids in the humble clay type workshops, which were also disseminated like rats in the lowest pipes of the huge city, everything from national policies to anecdotes about the house of an official, all within their hunting range, and of course, when there was no news they would make up their own news, which was not fundamentally different from their modern counterparts......

In fact, they are more unscrupulous.

After all, they themselves are gray, even if they spread rumors, no one cares, at most they know that they are going to beat them up, but those who don't know the details can only consider themselves unlucky.

Even Cai Jingjing thinks that he is unlucky, let alone others!

And Yang Feng gave them a life under the sun, and even those special paparazzi were all absorbed by him, and he can't penetrate into the upper echelons now, after all, because of his support for Jia Yidao, he has changed himself from the guardian saint of the Great Song Dynasty to the demon Dao, and those gentry have all gnashed their teeth on him, so that he can only develop to the bottom, which makes his development more rapid, and in less than half a year, he has gradually mastered the underground world of Lin'an, since he has to formalize it, And the way to formalize is to give those people at the bottom a life under the sun.

The newspaper business was his first step.

This newspaper feeds the entire industry chain.

A new type of paper industry.

The paper industry in the Song Dynasty was dominated by bamboo paper, but the paper was brittle and unbleached, and he used the clinker method in Tiangong Kaiwu to make bleached paper, which made Lin'an Bao immediately high-end.

New printing industry.

The printing of the Song Dynasty was still Bi Sheng's clay type, but Yang Feng directly changed it to lead alloy type, and it was made by his own hands, and the typesetting technology directly evolved to the Qing Dynasty Jin Jian's font cabinet typesetting, coupled with the cross operation method, so that the typesetting speed fully met the needs of a daily newspaper. Relying on this set of printing technology, Lin'an Bao can print more than 3,000 copies every day, and the lead alloy movable type can not use water-based ink, only ink, that is, Gutenberg's lamp black and flaxseed oil blended ink, which ensures his technical monopoly in the industry.

There is also the fact that the interview, editing, sales and other links of the newspaper all require a large number of workers, and finally the vast majority of his current registered disciples have devoted themselves to this industry.

In order to make up for the shortfall in costs, he even introduced advertisements, and even appeared in the first advertising endorsement of the Great Song Dynasty, in which his second apprentice personally wore a full set of jewelry made by a jewelry store, and then Yang Feng personally painted the portrait, and then the engraver carved out the woodblock, and finally printed it into an advertising picture clip in the newspaper to become a special edition. And this advertising picture made the business of this jewelry store turn over almost overnight, because Yang Feng signed an endorsement agreement with the jewelry store is shared, just this endorsement, let the financial situation of Lin'an Bao become profitable, and at the same time, let the businessmen of Lin'an see the power of advertising, but unfortunately the princess is no longer possible, because the princess only signs one endorsement a year, fortunately, the national teacher can also contact another endorsement for them.

Legend has it that he was favored by the official family, and he could be regarded as a famous prostitute in Lin'an, Tang An'an.

That's perfectly fine.

Then the best time has passed, and the veteran star Tang An'an, who is actually a little outdated, ushered in her second spring, and then those famous prostitutes suddenly knew what they had to do, and the entertainment industry and media industry in the Great Song Dynasty finally joined forces, and began the era of entertainment to death for the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the princess of the ascension to the kingdom, she continues to shine as brilliantly as the legend......

Her endorsement fee has risen to 100,000.

And only one sign a year.

"Look, a little trick, I don't need the court to support me here, making money is sometimes so simple, in the final analysis, it's a question of whether to be diligent or not, if the princes of the court are dutiful, how can it make the court more and more strained? If they all sit upright in the hall and only know that they are dressed as gentlemen, then no matter how much money they have, they can't support so many silverfish! ”

Yang Feng said proudly.

Jia Rudao hurriedly put on a smiling face, but he was also very pleased, Yang Feng had actually been relying on the court to support him before, but as soon as this Lin'an report came out, he didn't need the court's money at all.

"Of course, I didn't call you here to tell this, during this time I have come up with a good way for you to increase taxes, if this law can be implemented in the world, at least in the short term, it can add a large amount of taxes to the imperial court, so that our fort construction project along the Huai can also begin, otherwise when your public land law is completed, then I am afraid it will take three or four years to do it, which is too delayed, and I can also respond to the emergency."

Yang Feng then said.

"What is the best plan for the national teacher?"

Jia Rudao couldn't wait to say.

"Collect a religious tax!"

Yang Feng said.

"Huh?!"

Jia Rudao looked at him in horror.

"Don't be so surprised, do you know how the Great Cannibals deal with different religions in their own country? It is to find those believers of different religions to collect additional religious taxes, and I think this method is very good, so I might as well learn from it. My Great Song Dynasty is Taoism, but as far as I know, those Hu Sects also have a large number of followers, so why can't we ask them to collect religious taxes? We all know that they are actually very rich, each of those temples is lending, and the Pu family is even richer than the country, our Great Song Dynasty is lenient and generous, allowing Hu Christianity to spread in the Great Song Dynasty, but they also have to pay additional taxes, this is the common practice in Western countries, of course we have to be in line with international standards. ”

Yang Feng said.

"The ...... of the national teacher"

Jia Rudao hesitated.

Obviously, the purpose of the national teacher is not so pure, although it seems to solve the finances for him, but it is also to clean up the enemy for himself.

"What is this? I know that you have a very special relationship with the Pu family, they give you a lot of benefits every year, but even if you collect their taxes, they still have to give you the same as what they should give, in the end, no one is indispensable, their wealth is rival country depends on the protection of the court, if they are not obedient, it is a big deal for the court to replace them, not to mention that at this time, the court is in trouble, they should share the worries for the court! ”

Yang Feng said.

The supporter of the Pu Shougeng family is Wang Maoyue, and Wang Maoyue's backstage is Jia Yidao, and behind such a giant merchant family must be the imperial court, otherwise they would not have developed.

"National teacher, it's okay for them to say, after all, their number is not large, and most of them are gathered in Fujian, but there are too many monks and believers, and if they make trouble, they are afraid that it will be difficult to clean up."

Jia Rudao said cautiously.

"Make trouble, who would dare to make trouble with me?"

Yang Feng sneered.

"As far as I know, the Tartars have just held a Buddhist debate in Hala and Lin, and have established Buddhism as respect, since they are revered by enemy countries, then what are we polite? It's already very magnanimous not to expel them all, but now it's just asking them to collect extra taxes. If you let it go, if anyone dares to resist me to clean it up, I'll see if their bones are hard or my mace is hard! ”

Yang Feng said viciously.

In 1258, Hala and Lin.

Presided over by Kublai Khan in the capital of the Mongol Empire, held the second Mongolian monk war, the Taoist legion dominated by the masters of the Quanzhen Sect, in front of the Buddhist legion composed of the masters of the Ba Si Pa and the Shaolin faction, was beaten by a group, and finally the whole army was wiped out, causing Qiu Chuji's hard work to go to waste, and then Kublai Khan, as a referee, decided that all Taoist temples in Mongolia were changed to temples, and all Taoist priests shaved their heads and recited Amitabha, and the Mongol Empire began to respect Buddhism alone......

Well, they're just mouth-to-mouth.
