"Back to Your Majesty, according to the law, monks do not have to pay taxes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Song Yingxing said cautiously.

"Why?"

Yang Feng asked very unhappily.

"Monks are not naturalized."

Song Yingxing said.

"Is it possible not to pay taxes if you don't become a citizen? If they are not naturalized, how can they be eligible to own land? I don't pay taxes this and I don't pay taxes, I know how my country has fallen to the point where it is today, and since I don't pay taxes, I don't want industry. From today onwards, the land, shops, and forest properties of all temples in various places will be collected together with the official property, and the monks in the temple will be given 30 acres of food and clothing, so as not to be disturbed by foreign objects, so as to show their dedication to the Buddha. In addition, the monks have compassion for the heart, recently the monks have borrowed money to make profits, to the point that the borrower's family is ruined, it is really against the will of the Buddha, and now it is specially decreed that all those who borrow from the temple will be invalidated and do not need to pay it back. ”

Yang Feng said.

He'd been unhappy with the bald heads who didn't pay their taxes for a long time, and now he could finally do something to them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think again!"

Song Yingxing hurriedly said.

The emperor is addicted to poking hornet's nest, stabbing one after another, just offended the gentry, and now he is attacking the monks, these monks are not easy to mess with, they have a huge influence among the people, those good men and women are all over the class, it can be said that they have the ability to refer to black as white, because the suppression of the gentry resistance led to the emperor's demonic possession The saying has long been popular, if you offend the monk again, then I am afraid this statement will have to be true.

"Think twice? But those who have property have to pay taxes, and if they don't pay taxes, don't own property, and the four major monks are empty, and what is empty if they have thousands of acres of land? Also, didn't Taizu say that if a monk violates the yin precepts, the people can be beaten to death? I add a few more articles, those who violate all other precepts, the people can be beaten to death, I respect the Dharma, I absolutely cannot tolerate those false monks who defile Buddhism, if you want to be a monk, you must be a real monk, and if you become a monk and drink wine and eat meat to find a woman, you will be beaten to death. ”

Yang Feng said.

He didn't care.

Demons are demons, the common people know who is good for them, during this period of time, those gentry did everything in the folk to smear him, but the result was meaningless, those who got a hundred percent of the land rent of the emperor's land The common people ignore them, the emperor is a demon? As long as he gives us a land rent of the imperial land, we will recognize him as a demon, not to mention those immortal seeds.

Those gentry jumped up and down, but it didn't affect the emperor's reputation at all.

Originally, they could also collude with the gentry to sabotage the policy for Yang Feng, but there are now twelve counties in the control area, there is no gentry class outside the pass, and there are really eight gentry in the pass.

And those gentry can't do it, and these bald people can't do it either, after those lands are received in their hands, they are still rented to the original tenants at a hundred percent rent, Yang Feng doesn't believe that those tenants who originally had to use their own blood and sweat to support the monks, and even had to dedicate their wives to the masters to open the light, are not grateful to him.

As for the direct resistance of the monks......

This is not a big deal.

Close the door and let the field see the show!

The elite of the 3,000 Li Zicheng's old battalion had long been hungry and thirsty.

It's not enough, and there is the Jinyi Guard Iron Horse.

It's not enough to have a new army in the camp of the Swingers.

Even the resistance of the gentry was beaten back by them, and he did not believe that the monks surpassed the gentry in combat effectiveness.

However, he was wrong.

The monks did not have the fighting power of the gentry, but they also had another way to fight him, when the holy decree was quickly issued, the monks of the Great Compassion Temple were the first to dispatch, they knelt neatly outside the palace in the heavy snow and begged the emperor to reward them with a way to live, and then the monks of Biyun Temple, the monks of Qixian Temple also came, it is said that even the monks of Tangquan Temple, Baofeng Temple and a large number of temples are also coming, and the spectacular scene of Fuque is finally staged in front of the palace gate, and even some good men and women have joined it.

"Do you see what this is?"

Yang Feng stood under his palace, that is, the archway of the former Shanhaiguan General Soldier's Mansion, looked at the bald head lying on the ground in front of him and said.

"Resentment?"

Li Yutian said cautiously.

"What do you look at? Moths, all I see are moths, these are all moths that have hollowed out my country. ”

Yang Feng said indignantly.

"Uh, the minister is stupid."

Li Shoufu hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Li Shoufu knew that he had long been comparable to Wei Zhongxian anyway, and now he was also broken and broken, and the emperor's orders that went farther and farther on the road to the faint monarch, he was meticulously executed, and when these monks were petitioning, the officials under the protection of Tian Jianxiu's Jinyiwei Secret Service Division had already begun to go to various places to check the temple industry. He also understands that this is a good thing, if these bald heads add up, it can be said that in addition to the royal family, the Ming Dynasty deserves to be the number one landlord, not to mention the Great Compassion Temple, even an ordinary small temple has hundreds of acres of land, not to mention a large number of shops, and also usury.

But they don't pay taxes.

It's not that the Ming Dynasty has no money, it's just that it can't collect taxes, the gentry, the clan, the temple, these messy tax-exempt people are too much, and the only ones who really pay taxes are the poorest peasants, if everyone pays taxes together, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to make trouble to the point that the treasury is empty, and even tens of thousands of slaves can run rampant for decades. After the last time those gentry were rectified, although there were a large number of tax-exempt righteous people, but the tax revenue in the line still exceeded the tax on this land in the past, you can imagine how much harm these tax exemptions caused to the country, and the harm of the temple property is not inferior to the gentry, if the homes of these bald people are copied, it is estimated that without the help of the south, the light can basically be self-sufficient in its own taxes.

But......

"Your Majesty, the inspection team that went to Tangquan Temple was attacked by bandits, and one of the heads of the household department was killed."

Liang Cheng walked up to Yang Feng and said.

"Bandits? There are bandits forty miles away from me? This is simply terrible, send a decree to Tian Jianxiu, this task is given to him, it is necessary to clean up the ancestral mountain area thoroughly, and must not let the bandits endanger the people, and tell him, pay attention to protect the monks of Tangquan Temple, in case the thieves go to attack Tangquan Temple at night and a monk is killed, it is not good, they are very fond of destroying the door, as for the head of the household department, posthumously seal the baron. ”

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

At this time, it is too exaggerated that there are bandits forty miles away from Shanhaiguan, it is said that there were no bandits here before, this is the most important military fortress of the Ming Dynasty, what bandits dare to operate in this kind of place, since they dare to fight in this way, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Uh, Honor!"

Liang Cheng hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, what should you do with these monks?"

Li Yutian asked.

"Is there a fire dragon in the city?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Yes!"

Li Shoufu said.

"Pour!"

After Yang Feng finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the palace, he still had to study with Song Shangshu how to make a steam engine, how could he be in the mood to entangle with these guys.

Li Yutian looked at the snowflakes above his head, couldn't help but shiver, then looked at those bald heads with pity, and called an officer of the Jinyi Secret Service Division to give a few words, and he quickly ran back to his first assistant yamen to bake the fire. The Jinyi guard officer who surrendered with Tian Jianxiu looked at those bald heads with evil eyes, waved to the side with hundreds of subordinates from the same background, and quickly ran to the city's firefighting team to bring a few of the latest water guns, and aimed at the bald heads all over the ground in the blank discussion of the onlookers behind, and soon the well water with a little warmth poured on those bald heads like a water dragon.

However, Yang Feng, who returned to the palace, was not good, the power of these monks was pervasive, and even his queen Gong was not spared.

"Father, Kun Xing begs to take back his will."

He said as his daughter knelt down in front of him crying.

The poor little girl just went to the Great Compassion House to pray for him, and in a blink of an eye, he copied other people's properties and poured water on a snowy day, which made Her Royal Highness feel better, obviously if she hadn't suddenly gone to pray for blessings, her father might not have been able to think of this, this was completely caused by her! She has always been weak by nature, and this time she is rarely brave.

"These countries are big things, children don't get involved."

Yang Feng said angrily.

"If my father doesn't agree, Kun Xing will kneel here and not get up."

He said cheaply to his daughter.

"Huh?"

Yang Feng looked at her speechlessly.

I don't know why, the emperor suddenly had an unbearable impulse in his heart, he stood up all of a sudden, took the dust whisk from the little eunuch on the side, walked to Princess Kunxing, and before she could react, she pressed it to the ground, and then took the upside-down dust handle and pumped it down, although he was wearing a winter coat, but the dust handle still made a crisp sound on the latter's little buttocks, and Princess Kunxing cried with a wow.

"Take the princess back and be grounded for three days!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

"And you, don't run!"

Then he yelled at Li Xiu, who was peeking at the door.

The latter, who was about to run, walked in tremblingly.

This wild girl has no worries about food and clothing since following Yang Feng, her originally malnourished figure is like an outbreak, she has risen a lot in the first half of the year, and she is about to run one meter seven, and the front and back plates have suddenly become convex and backward, and the two long legs are shocking, and even her face has begun to develop towards fox, that is, the childishness on her face, which makes Yang Feng still control her desire to start.

"Who just came to see the princess?"

Yang Feng asked with a gloomy face.

"Master Huijing of the Sorrowful Temple."

Li Xiu looked at the princess who was still crying, and then looked at the dust in Yang Feng's hand, and decisively sold his best friend.

"Nuns don't practice well, they still have the courage to interfere in the government and politics, since this is the case, there is no need to pretend anymore, pass on the decree, all the orders of the sorrowful nunnery are returned to the customs, the officials are equipped with military households, Hui Jing discusses the government in vain, instigates the princess, and hangs for the crime of great rebellion!"

Yang Feng sneered.

Princess Kunxing cried even harder.
