The skill is broken, I am stronger

If the Wudang faction was provoked successfully, Lin Lang thought he could escape, but Heimuya would suffer heavy losses.

Even if he could destroy Wudang Mountain, it would be a lose-lose situation for both sides, allowing other Jianghu schools to benefit.

In addition, he also knew that Zhao Min and others escaped quickly, so he didn't bother to chase them. It would be easiest for the Wudang faction to notify the Mingjiao to intercept them.

And Mingjiao will definitely be able to stop it, after all, there are Mingjiao's undercover agents by Zhao Min's side.

Not only did people disturb the good affairs of the Ruyang Palace, but also used Wudang faction and Mingjiao to clarify that this matter has nothing to do with the Sun Moon God Sect, and even got a favor from Zhang Sanfeng.

Blood earned!

Humming a little tune, Lin Lang left the house.

As soon as I arrived at the Jinyiwei Command and Envoy Division, before I entered, I saw a young eunuch trotting over: "Master Lin, Lord Lin, Your Majesty has called you to discuss matters in the imperial study."

Lin Lang knew that he should be asking about the extermination of Northern Shaolin by the Sun Moon God Sect.

Soon after arriving at the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor Ming asked directly: "Lin Qing's family, the Sun Moon Sect destroyed Northern Shaolin, why didn't you report this matter to me?"

Lin Lang spread his hands: "The incident happened suddenly. After receiving the news, I went to Songshan Mountain. Unfortunately, I went late, and they have already decided the winner."

"Northern Shaolin tried in vain to contact foreign forces in the Jianghu, jointly destroy the Sun Moon God Sect, and continue to dominate the Daming Jianghu, but it is a pity that the strength is not enough."

"But this matter is actually a good thing."

Emperor Daming stared at Lin Lang: "Tell me that it is a good thing that Northern Shaolin has been destroyed? That is Northern Shaolin. Do you know how many lay disciples of Northern Shaolin Da Ming has?"

Even on the court side, there are many masters who are lay disciples of Northern Shaolin.

There are also many small families of the rivers and lakes, local wealthy gentry, etc., all of whom were born in Northern Shaolin.

Now that Northern Shaolin has been wiped out, the members of the Sun Moon God Sect are chasing and killing the monks of Northern Shaolin, is this a good thing?

Lin Lang said truthfully, "Of course it's a good thing."

"There are thousands of monks in Northern Shaolin, and this is just one temple in Northern Shaolin. They also control hundreds of temples in Da Mingxia."

"Now that those monks are gone, these temples can just be taken over by the imperial court."

"The temple also controls some land properties. Many of those properties are hidden fields, at least tens of thousands of acres. No land tax is paid, and now they can be owned by the imperial court."

"In the future, people will not give sesame oil money to those temples, which can be used to buy other daily necessities and improve their lives."

"Besides, Northern Shaolin actually hid a lot of criminals from the imperial court. They changed their dharma name, saying that they are not the same people as before, but how should the suffering masters who were murdered at the beginning redress their grievances? How can I embody the law of the Great Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the existence of these monks is nothing but blood-sucking leeches lying on the people and the court. Without them, there will be no harm to Ming Baili."

Emperor Daming was stunned: "There are so many hidden fields in Northern Shaolin?"

Hidden fields are not registered land properties, and they are not taking advantage of the loopholes in the court rules to avoid taxes, it is completely tax evasion!

He used to think that those civil servants, or the families behind them, had a lot of hidden land, which was why the household department received little tax every year.

It made him have to spend all the royal family's internal treasury, and even the local government had to do some things, and often needed to ask the local gentry to collect donations.

If there are more hidden fields, whether it is handed over to Huangzhuang for management or simply sold, it can greatly alleviate the financial difficulties of the court.

For example, he can spend more money to replace ordnance for the soldiers in the border town, so that Daming's military strength will become stronger, so that he can defend the territory, and even expand the territory!

He also knew that those temples never paid taxes, but he never knew that there were tens of thousands of acres of hidden fields.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that these monks really didn't do anything for Daming, they didn't join the army to defend their home and country, they didn't pay taxes, and they might not even work.

Many imperial court prisoners have hid in temples. If they can be captured now, they will definitely win the hearts of the people.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the destruction of Northern Shaolin is really not a bad thing.

"Lin Qing's family, but what about those Northern Shaolin lay disciples who are in the imperial court? They are all shouting that the Sun Moon God Sect is a demon sect and they want the imperial court to destroy it."

Lin Lang spread his hands: "Whoever shouts, let them go. They are not doing it for the court, but for their own self-interest. Let the court be their tool. It is not a bad thing for such an official to die."

Those lay disciples of Northern Shaolin can still live honestly. If they still want to dance, they should go to be buried with Northern Shaolin.

The reason why they are clamoring now is nothing more than worrying that the Sun Moon God Sect will wipe them out too, but Lin Lang really doesn't take those people seriously.

But if someone really wants to die, he can also send someone to bury him.

"Your Majesty, the Sun Moon God Sect will no longer use the Wudang Sect. Now the two sects check and balance each other, which is just right to maintain the stability of the world."

"Moreover, the Sun Moon God Sect is absolutely not like the demon sect that those people said. They are now engaged in many legitimate businesses such as darts, money and food. Perhaps it is because of this that they have touched the interests of the Northern Shaolin disciples who originally did these things, so they were banned. Frame slander."

"If the Sun Moon God Sect disappears, then Jianghu sects from other countries will inevitably expand, and only then will there be major riots."

"Jinyiwei is ready to take over those small temples. Even if they are used as warehouses, or to house refugees in disaster years, it is better than giving them to monks, or they can be sold directly for cash."

Although the Emperor of Ming Dynasty still felt that something was wrong, how come the destruction of Northern Shaolin did no harm to the Ming Dynasty Hall at all?

But it is also clear that the Sun Moon God Sect cannot disappear, otherwise Daming would not have the power to deter other Jianghu sects.

"Is the Sun Moon God Sect unwilling to accept Zhao'an? Have you asked their envoy's opinion?"

Lin Lang looked at Emperor Daming: "Shouldn't you be asking the leader? They don't seem to care much about the religious affairs."

The Emperor Daming looked at Lin Lang: "I know you can contact the right envoy of the Sun Moon God Sect. If he is willing to make the Sun Moon God Sect join the imperial court, I can give him the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and let him directly form a guard." , he will be the commander.”

"If you make great contributions to the court, you may be granted a title."

"Tell him that if you take refuge in the court, you can have three wives and four concubines, instead of just Ren Yingying."

Lin Lang: "???"

The co-author Emperor Ming thought he was being suppressed by Ren Yingying?

If he doesn't take refuge in the court, he can have more than one woman.

What three wives and four concubines, he doesn't want to marry any of them, so it's fair to everyone, otherwise, who will be the big one, and who will be the small one?

According to first come, first served, according to martial arts, according to age, according to the size of the chest?

No matter how they are arranged, some people will be dissatisfied, so not marrying any of them can perfectly resolve all these disputes.

But the Emperor Ming said this to him because he wanted to divide the Sun Moon God Sect. Unfortunately, they never knew that Lin Lang wanted to be behind Ren Yingying, and he wanted to be on top.

Watching Lin Lang leave from the imperial study, the Emperor Daming looked behind the screen: "Zhang Banban, will the Right Envoy of the Sun Moon Demon Sect be tempted?"

The old eunuch lowered his head: "This old slave doesn't know."

"It will definitely." Emperor Daming said firmly.

He is also a man, just like he likes Concubine Yan very much, but other concubines will not give up, even if they go once a year, they will be very happy.

He believed that what he could give, the Sun Moon Demon Sect could not give, so Lin Lang would never betray Chaotang to the Sun Moon Demon Sect.

It's a pity why did Lin Lang practice boy kung fu?It would be great if I could marry Yunluo.

He has arranged for someone to take a good look at Yunluo, and he must never get along with Lin Lang behind closed doors, and rumors have already spread outside the palace.

Originally, it was difficult for Yunluo to marry, but if this kind of thing spread again, Yunluo would really not be able to marry.

After a while, a young eunuch ran in: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lin left the palace directly and did not go to Jingyang Palace."

Emperor Daming nodded slightly, that's more or less the same.

Let's see how many hidden fields and house deeds Jin Yiwei can confiscate from Northern Shaolin this time.

Lin Lang left the palace and returned to Jinyiwei Commander in a carriage.

It's not that he doesn't have women, so there's no need to go to Princess Yunluo in such a hurry.

And now he has work to do.

Entering the public room, as soon as Lin Lang sat down, Wang Wu and Jia Liu walked in, skillfully serving refreshments and hot tea.

"My lord, Northern Shaolin has been wiped out. Shouldn't it be time for us to work? Brothers are all ready." Wang Wu approached and asked.

After not raiding the house for such a long time, his hands were itchy.

Lin Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, let's go down and investigate all monk temples in Daming thoroughly, and arrest those bald heads."

"Many of them were imprisoned by the imperial court. After being caught, they were directly tried in public. These are all credits, so brothers should keep their eyes open."

"Also, find out all the unregistered hidden fields belonging to those temples, and confiscate them after counting and measuring."

"Other things, don't I need to explain?"

Wang Wu nodded: "My lord, don't worry, your subordinates understand."

Your lord only talked about Yintian, so the other things found in the search don't need to be registered.

I heard that the Buddha statues in many temples have cast gold bodies, even if they are plated with gold, it is not a small amount to remove.

When he saw the golden statue of Buddha in the temple for the first time, Wang Wu thought about taking it off. This dream is finally coming true, and he has to do it himself to enjoy himself.

Wang Wu thought for a while and then asked: "My lord, what should I do if there are people who resist? Are they all killed?"

After all, it was the monks to deal with. There were too many monks in Ming Dynasty, and all of them were good at sophistry.

Especially those imperial court criminals who rely on becoming a monk to avoid guilt will definitely resist.

Lin Lang squinted his eyes: "Cheng Shifei, Liu Zhengfeng, Ba Ying, etc. will also go together. Each of the thousands of households will personally lead the team, and all the brothers will bring their crossbows."

"If you resist, shoot and kill, no matter how many people are on the other side!"

As a courtier, he has to share the emperor's worries.

Didn't the Emperor of Ming always feel that the people of Ming were poor and not as rich as Song?

If more people died, wouldn't the per capita income increase?

Anyway, those people who died were not good birds.

Fighting against Jin Yiwei, that is the anti-thief!

With a capable minister like him, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty should wake up with a smile from his dreams.

Wang Wu immediately took his people away, and at the same time notified the other Qianhusuo with carrier pigeons to do it together.

Jia Liu stayed and began to report to Lin Lang about the court affairs.

"My lord, in the past few days you have been away, my subordinates have arrested several court ministers. The biggest one is the censor of the fourth rank. This is the list of Beijing officials who did not give you gifts. The subordinates are already investigating their criminal evidence."

How the hell would anyone dare not give him a gift?

It's done, it must be done!

The big officials outside the capital have started to give gifts, only some small officials can’t reach him, and they can’t afford too much money, so they directly give gifts to thousands of households and hundreds of households in various places, anyway, there will be a gift in the end. sent to his house.

"Did the East Factory and West Factory appoint new factory supervisors?"

Jia Liu shook his head: "No, but I heard that we are selecting. It should be selected from the chief eunuchs of the other twelve eunuchs, and then find other people to fill their vacancies."

"There has been a lot of movement in the Ministry of War recently. Many soldiers and horses in the five cities have been frequently visiting the palace recently. They should be transferred, but I haven't heard of any vacancies."

The grades of those to be transferred are not low, and many of them are third-rank or even second-rank officials. With so many people, is the court going to make a big move?

If it wasn't for the mobilization of food, tung oil, ironware, war horses, etc., he would have thought that Ming Dynasty was going to fight abroad.

Lin Lang asked: "Have you heard that any commander in the capital has been investigated? No? How many people are there?"

Jia Liu did the math: "There seem to be thirteen."

Lin Lang probably knew what was going on, and combined with the news from Piaoxiang Pavilion, it should be that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was going to attack the commanders of the ten towns in Bianzhen.

I followed Zhu to ignore the rebellion before, which emperor really thought he could easily forget?

"Okay, I know about this, just leave the list, is there any other big things?"

Jia Liu thought for a while: "My lord, there is one more strange thing. The subordinates have thought about it for a long time but have not figured it out, and Wang Wu doesn't understand either."

"But this is not a matter of courtiers, it involves a prince."

"Pingnan Prince's Mansion has recently replaced a batch of nursing homes. The brothers we managed to get in, including the spies on the list given by the adults, have been kicked out of the mansion now. It will take at least a few months before we want to get in. possible."

"A few brothers wanted to sneak in secretly, but they never came out."

Ordinarily, King Pingnan knew that they were Jin Yiwei's spies, so he shouldn't have attacked them. At most, he should monitor them carefully. Otherwise, how could he reassure His Majesty?

Lin Lang pinched his chin: "Pingnan Palace? This prince is rich."

The priceless white jade unicorn in the secret room of his home is the treasure of Pingnan Palace.

What kind of treasure is this again, worried about being stolen?

Or is there some other secret that you don't want to be discovered?
