Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Li Shimin wept silently for half an hour, until Su Ao came to change Su Chen's water. Seeing that Su Ao was so sensible at such a young age, he was very envious.

It would be great if this child was his son.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and gradually accepted the fact that Li Chengqian might rebel, but he still needed to go back and deal with the specific situation.

It was enough for Su Chen to tell him the situation. As for how to deal with it, Li Shimin, as someone who has experienced it, must have his own means and methods.

Su Chen originally wanted to tell about Wu Zhao's situation, which was also an unstable factor in Datang.

but.

Although Wu Zhao was bold, she didn't dare to act recklessly during Li Shimin's reign.

At most, it's just doing things, not the big position you want, just want some power and high position.

However, if Wu Zhao does something, it will still bring some problems to Datang, which must be resolved.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Royal Taoist Temple has been completed. Do you still count on what His Majesty said to the poor?!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and said: "Of course it counts, as long as the celestial master is willing to move in, I can't ask for it."

Su Chen said: "No, Pindao won't go, but Pindao plans to arrange for someone to go there."

Li Shimin was slightly disappointed, and said again: "Who is it?"

Su Chen said: "My disciple Yuan Tiangang."

Li Shimin was taken aback, and said: "Tianshi Yuan is indeed possible, but isn't he on duty at the Jingwei City God Temple?"

Su Chen said: "He is more suitable to be in the Royal Taoist temple, and I hope His Majesty can give him all the powers that the temple owner should have. The people inside, no matter who they are, must obey his orders."

Li Shimin naturally had nothing to say.

Although the view is not directly given to Su Chen, but it is also possible to give it to his disciple Yuan Tiangang, which can be regarded as binding Su Chen.

He was really afraid that when Su Chen's filial piety expired, he would travel around the world, or fly to the sky.

Now Su Chen still keeps it, and plans to arrange for people to enter the Taoist temple, which can be said to be a booster for Li Shimin.

He couldn't ask for it.

Su Chen was thinking that by arranging Yuan Tiangang to enter the Taoist temple, he would be able to look at Wu Zhao, at least to be intimidated.

Secondly, Yuan Tiangang also interpreted the lottery at the Chenghuang Temple in Jingwei. As a master, it is hard to say anything, but he is still upset that his disciples robbed him of his business.

Such an arrangement kills two birds with one stone.

Su Chen continued: "Your Majesty, if you and the Queen's bodies are in good condition, the royal conquest will be considered a success. But how can it be done? I heard that there are some relics in Buddhism, which can be worn often to strengthen the body. Health benefits."

Li Shimin was taken aback, "Is there such a saying?"

Su Chen said: "That's just what I heard."

Actually, he was right.

The relics can only appear after the Buddhist eminent monks with merits and virtues have passed away and sat down.

It can be said that in Buddhism, they are very precious and have symbolic meaning.

but.

However, Su Chen mentioned its efficacy, and even magnified it. It is not difficult to imagine that Li Shimin will wantonly search for relics next.

This will bring disaster to Buddhism.

However, just treat it as a meeting gift from Su Chen to Buddhism.

He and the Buddhist sect had been in peace before, but now the Buddhist sect took advantage of him to retreat, and even wanted to mess up the Tang Dynasty and regard it as the state religion.

As the leader of the Taoist sect, Su Chen had to do something.

To attack Buddhism, start by searching for relics.

Su Chen said again: "Your Majesty, the attack on Goguryeo will cost a huge amount of money and food, but ordinary people can't afford it anymore, and they are stretched out from the annual income of the Tang Dynasty. This is also an internal problem!"

Li Shimin thought so deeply and nodded repeatedly.

"What does the Heavenly Master think?"

"You can borrow food from the family."

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and said: "I have killed many aristocratic families over the years, and if I ask them to borrow money, there will be many prevarications."

Su Chen said: "It doesn't matter to prevaricate, it's okay to let them shed some blood. However, if His Majesty wants to solve this matter thoroughly, there is actually a very direct way, and that is to ask for a donation from the Tang's religion!"

Datang's religion wants donations? !

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

His face became strange, because Su Chen was the leader of the Taoist school in Datang, if he wanted to donate money, wouldn't he be the first to bear the brunt? !

as predicted.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, as the leader of the Daoist sect, Pindao is willing to donate 20 dans of grain first, and at the same time help all the Daoist sects in the Tang Dynasty to donate another [-] dans of grain."

Li Shimin's eyes widened!

Is Su Chen like this for the country and the people? !

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen stated his purpose and said, "Your Majesty, with so many Taoists, Buddhism's status in the Tang Dynasty is also indispensable!"

Li Shimin immediately understood that Su Chen was heading for Buddhism!

Chapter 205 Taibai Jinxing set up a robbery, but found that there was no robbery

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed for a while.

Su Chen is heading for Buddhism, and what he has to do is to balance Buddhism.

Although he is optimistic about and trusts Su Chen, Su Chen is too immortal to control him at all.

Then, Buddhism is his reliance.

Balancing Buddhism and Taoism is his imperial art.

If Su Chen confronts the Buddhist sect and pacifies the Buddhist sect, his Tang Dynasty will not be stable.

Li Shimin then asked tentatively: "Tianshi, do you have any enmity with Buddhism?"

Su Chen said: "No, the poor are kind to others, and Buddhism is also among them."

Li Shimin said: "Then why...why do you..."

Su Chen said for him, "Damn Buddhism?!"

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly.

Su Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty, if you feel that I have cheated Buddhism by donating 30 dans of food, then I will take it back."

Li Shimin quickly said: "No, no, I just think that you are forced to donate to Buddhism, but this is excellent."

30 dans of food, that is enough for the soldiers who attacked Goguryeo to eat for two months, but it is very expensive.

Su Chen said: "Actually, if you want to force donations, then it is. But it is not considered as forced donations to Buddhism. Your Majesty has overestimated their status in my heart."

He said slowly: "Whether Taoist or Buddhist, they all have land in the Tang Dynasty, and they don't have to pay taxes. Your Majesty, other Taoist temples of my Taoist school are still pure cultivation, but an ordinary Taoist temple can also support twenty or thirty. producer."

"Not to mention my Yunyuanshan Hualong Temple, my daily income is enough to feed thousands of people. The accumulation in a year, whether it is gold and silver wealth, or the grain grown in the fields, is enough to feed millions of people .”

Li Shimin gasped, shocked.

Su Chen continued: "However, there are only 10,000+ people in my Yunyuan Mountain."

Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up in shock, and said, "Yunyuanshan Hualong Temple actually has so much output?!"

Su Chen shook his head and said, "The output is only part of it, and most of it is incense money from the common people."

There was more panic and shock in Li Shimin's eyes. If this sum of wealth was used to build an army, he might be able to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant!

Yunyuan Mountain has accumulated wealth for several years, and I am afraid that it can already become rich like an enemy!

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, only Yunyuan Mountain has such terrible wealth, what about the Buddhist sect in Tang Dynasty? Haha, I'm afraid it is only a lot more than mine!"

Li Shimin originally wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really what Su Chen said.

There are eight hundred Taoist temples in the Tang Dynasty, and each one is resplendent and resplendent, covering a vast area.

Let’s just talk about Chang’an, there are 36 ancient temples, each of which covers an area of ​​[-] mu, and supports at least [-] monks!

Li Shimin didn't think about how much their wealth was before, but after Su Chen took the initiative to explain and compared them, he was startled.

I am afraid that the sum of the temples near Chang'an is more than half of the wealth of Yunyuan Mountain, let alone all the temples in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "How can they accumulate so much wealth, this is Datang's wealth!"

Su Chen said: "The people's incense money, as well as their land output, all income is pure income, there is no need to pay taxes, it will come naturally!"

Without further ado, Li Shimin said, "I must let them donate money to fight the war."

He said it through gritted teeth.

Originally, he thought that what Su Chen said was exaggerated, and there were too many of those things, and it would be bad if it made Buddhism too ugly.

but.

He just felt that what he asked for from Buddhism was too little.

It has to be a little more.

Su Chen showed a smile, although he also lost a lot, but it is also very good to be able to cheat Buddhism.

In fact, he is not at a loss.

Yunyuan Mountain is a big producer of grain, and every year there is only a lot of grain, even piled up like a mountain, and the warehouse can't put it down, so they can only do charity everywhere, or make it into various food and send it to all parts of the country for sale.

Therefore, the mountain people in Yunyuan Mountain are very rich.

Even so, there is still a lot of food produced every year, and it is a waste to store it. Otherwise, it will be a waste if it is used to brew wine or feed chickens and pigs.

Take it out and donate it to Datang, let Datang prosper, you can also earn a reputation, and you can also deceive the Buddhist sect.

Why not do it!

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, "Tianshi, if you do this, you will harm others and benefit yourself, why bother?!"

He also figured it out, Su Chen still wanted to trick the Buddhist sect, otherwise he wouldn't have brought this matter to light.

Su Chen said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am a fairy, and I don't care about money and food. However, I love Datang very much, and I can't bear so many blood-sucking insects on it!"

Li Shimin was infected by his seriousness, and even took the initiative to kneel down to Su Chen and kowtow three times.

Su Chen didn't stop him either.

afterwards.

Li Shimin said: "Tianshi, I thank you for your feat on behalf of the people of Tang Dynasty."

Su Chen smiled and said: "If the money and food problem is solved, most of Tang's internal troubles will be solved. As for foreign troubles, His Majesty can actually solve all of them if he knows how to use them well."

Li Shimin nodded, he understood that everything was still with him.

If he is good, Datang will be even better.

The more problems of Yujia's personal conquest are internal troubles, followed by external troubles.

He cupped his fists, thanked him repeatedly, and then got up, he was going back, there were too many internal troubles to solve this time!

but.

If it can be solved, he himself will be a little excited, which means that he can conquer by himself!

It must be done well!

Li Shimin left, and after he went down the mountain, Su Chen got 5000 years of mana.

Today's cultivation has reached the level of 5000 years, which is already penetrating the heavens and the earth.

However, it was still a little short of Su Chen's breakthrough window paper.

Even Su Chen felt that after breaking through, he would be very powerful.

It may keep up with the existence of the Eight Immortals of the Cave and the Dragon King, and there will be a very big gap.

but.

Still unable to break through, he almost got depressed.
