After Liu An asked someone to inquire about the news, he entered the small world without any trouble. The small world is still the same, but he felt that there were too many merits and all of them were absorbed by the Dharma. Although Liu An was a little murmured in his heart, he had no worries.

How to say it?

Buddhist Dharma and Buddhist scriptures will not harm people, and Buddhist monks are also very just.

Unless the Dharma image in one's body is a wrong way, or is it a wrong way? Liu An can still distinguish this point.

In the court, Liu An was full of energy. When the time came, he left the matter and left.

Liu An felt boring to fight these old guys in the court, and it had little impact on the entire empire.

Of course, the power of technology directly impacts the interests of old interest groups.

An old interest group is actually land.

But now the power of technology has made the number of tenants smaller and smaller.

What Liu An wants to do himself is to continuously improve technology.

The loom has been manufactured, but the investment in the loom is too large, so Liu An directly asked the Xichang to take charge of the loom.

"Your Majesty!" Several big leaders of the West Factory were shocked when they saw the loom.

Cloth is hard currency in this world.

At this speed, the craftsman in the research and development explained the speed of the machine to the people in the West Factory, etc.

"Your Majesty." The people from the West Factory were a little confused. The output was too high.

Liu An said, "If you have something to say."

"Your Majesty, with these looms, the weaver girl..." Although the big boss was puzzled, he also knew that Your Majesty was not an ordinary person and did not say everything.

Liu An said, "You don't have to worry about this. This loom also needs people to see. In addition, the output of cotton and linen silk will be in great demand. On the one hand, these weaver girls can enter the workshop to weave cloth, and on the other hand, they can plant cotton and linen in a variety of ways. What I need your western factory to do is to set the purchase price of cotton and linen according to the cost price, and no one is allowed to be lower than this price."

The people from the West Factory looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"I believe in your character." Liu An is praising these scholars.

The people from the West Factory are actually censors themselves, and these censors themselves were trained by the big men in the court.

In the past, these censors were subject to the jurisdiction of the Censorate, but now they are not needed, they are independent and government systems.

In other words, the people trained by themselves are supervised and slapped in the face by the people trained by themselves.

This is like the Western world on Earth, boasting about freedom every day.

When the people from the West Factory heard this, they kowtowed immediately: "I am willing to be fooled by Your Majesty."

"Okay, go down and make a charter." Liu An said with a wave of his hand.

Liu An didn't want the society to be too turbulent. Social turbulence has no influence on the people at the top, but for those at the bottom, it is a disaster.

In ancient society, people were grass and grass, and it could be said that people were not as good as grass.

Xiaowuzi hurried in and whispered to Liu Anhui.

"What a shit Taoist, you've cut it into pieces." Liu An said angrily.

"yes!"

"Wait." Liu An suddenly thought, this was almost what kind of opportunity.

An opportunity to rectify temples and Taoist temples.

"You make arrangements and use the excuse to calm down some irregular temples and Taoist temples. Those who have not committed any crime will ignore them." Liu An said.

"yes!"

Of course, Xiaowuzi knew what to do. Xiaowuzi is now a cultivator in the Qi training stage. It is precisely because of this that he has to report to Liu An, because he is afraid that Liu An is also a Taoist.

Temples and Taoist temples are much better than Taoist temples.

There are also temples in this world. Of course, Liu An also knows the economy of temples, so Liu An took a pen and wrote them out.

The economy of Buddhist temples, the industry of temples and the population of the people have increased rapidly. In the Northern Wei and Northern Qi, temples have become an unignorable force between the country and the people. Today, the temple economy is even stronger. The famous temples often have manors, occupying a large mu of land and a mu of people. Daoduan Liangxiu called the territory occupied by the temple territory, including temple fields, manors and monk fields, and the temples serve as managers to farm farmers and slaves who engage in farming on temple fields. Generally speaking, there are more than one or two manors in the temple. In addition to the fields, there are also houses, mills, carriages, woodlands, orchards, vegetable gardens, etc., and the internal work is very meticulous.

In summary, the main sources of income from temples are the country's land quota, gifts, donations by believers, land sale, pledge and annexation, equipment rental of temples, physical loans and monetary loans, etc. Among them, land is an important part of temple property. The main ways for temples to obtain land include state gifts, donations by believers, land sale, annexation by pledge, etc., including: temples grant land through the state, called giving land or giving villages; in the equal field law, there is a system of granting land to monks and nuns, monks give land thirty acres and nuns and twenty acres. After monks die, the monks' land they take may also be included in the permanent land of the temple; because Buddhism believes that digging ground is harmful to life, monks do not

Therefore, in addition to giving gifts, several nearby farmers are often granted to temples. In this way, the temple not only obtains the right to gain the land, but also has some control over the farmers who have been farming on these lands for generations. Private donation is the most common way for temples to obtain land. Among Buddhist believers, the superiors are high-powered royal nobles, and the inferiors are ordinary wealthy families who donate private estates to temples for the purpose of faith and accumulation of merit. However, there are also people who donate property for the sake of evading taxes and labor, because monks in the temple enjoy the privilege of exempting tax service. When the children of rich families are ordained as monks, their industries can evade taxation.

In addition, the income from land is only one of the sources of the wealth of the monks. Generally speaking, temples are often the center of commercial activities in the region. A place for production and trading of handicraft products is formed around the temples. Religious festivals are also market trading days. Large temples have "dian houses", "dian shops" or "shops" in the market, which are for pedestrians to rest, and there are counters for selling goods.

In addition, the temple also has equipment for renting for profit. In the analysis of Dunhuang documents, Xie Henai found that one of the main incomes of the Dunhuang temple comes from industrial workshops, such as mills, oil beams, etc. The former is water-powered grain processing equipment, and the latter is an oil pressing workshop that produces oil for cooking, incense and lighting lamps. At that time, there were only large temples, and there were water mills and other machinery and equipment on the land of the nobles and bureaucrats. This was not only a manifestation of the temple's economic strength, but also meant that it occupied an advantageous position in the local water conservancy system.

Because of the wealth of money, cloth, grain, etc., temples and all walks of life have loans and return and obtain benefits. In addition to borrowing money to provide wealthy households, temples also lend in kind. The most common one is grain, and the target of lending is farmers, mainly providing them with seeds and necessities before the next harvest.

That is, it is equivalent to the usury model, of course, this refers to some of the monks making money.

Liu An was very familiar with this model. Buddhism was very popular in the Tang Dynasty on Earth because of Buddhism's ability to make money.

Although the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism, those Taoists liked to delve into the deep mountains and forests to practice Taoism, cultivate themselves, and be self-sufficient.

The interest class cannot obtain benefits, just look at the bald heads entering and leaving the Tang Dynasty palace.

It is okay to borrow money from other people but can you not repay it?

Whatever the East Factory wants to do is easy to do.

So the railway was excavated and the foolish people who attacked the railway were supported by Taoists and bald heads.

A vigorous anti-counterfeiting began.

The West Factory also cooperated in this regard, first of all, to verify how much land there are, how many monks there are, and then whether there are usury loans.

As long as there is one, they will immediately arrest people and pave the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

Not only targeting this kind of sect, but also targeting some other small sects and secret sects.

This also received the support of high monks, who were truly practicing Buddhism.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!

Steam forging machine forged iron plates.

Of course, there is a simpler thing, which is to pour the molten iron on the crushing machine and then crush the water.

The manufacturing of iron tools is a representative of the power of a country.

Countless low-priced farm tools were manufactured and then sent to various state capitals for sale.

Now that trains are repairing roads and land acquisitions, the surnames of many places have started to be called, so that the train roads can pass through their own territory.

The location of the station is even more exciting.

With a train, even rotten vegetables and leaves have to be sold for money. Who is not moved, even the local officials are moved.

Why?

Because commercial tax is divided into local tax and national tax, which means that goods are sent from you and you can collect taxes in your place.

I sent it to other places, but I don't have the chance to collect it.

What do local officials want to do things and win over people’s hearts?

It's silver, it's money.

Many times the train tracks have not been completed yet, and the roadbed has been laid. If the roadbed is laid, it will be subcontracted to local people to do it, and the people from Dongchang will supervise it.

Of course, the train speed is slow now, only 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.

But the train is helpless in the wind and rain, and can pull hundreds of tons of cargo at a time.

The Beiman area has been completely controlled. As long as there are refugees, they will be stuffed onto the train and sent to the Beiman area, each of which will be with each other.

At first, local governments were eager to do this, but when all the refugees were sent away, everyone realized why the wages are getting higher and higher.

First of all, if you have too much work, even if you don’t work as a tenant, you will go to the mountains to chop firewood and charcoal, hunt in the mountains, collect wild vegetables, and go to the river to catch fish and dry dried fish.

You can make money. There are also some large vegetable growers who hire long-term workers for a long time. As long as you work hard and have a fast speed, everyone is willing to invite them.

With more job opportunities, wages will naturally increase.

However, due to road transportation, the price of commodities has dropped, first of all, the price of salt and iron.

The salt in that place was expensive, so a train immediately came over. As for those who were hoarding, they were in trouble.

In addition, in the past, salt and iron were collected from layers of taxes, and they had to be collected from the place of origin and the place of sale.

Now the places where you sell are no longer taxed, and the same is true for iron. In the past, the price of agricultural tools is freely ordered. In that place, the price of farm tools is high, and the train comes as soon as the train comes.

The place was hit by a disaster, and the train was pulled over as soon as the food was taken.

"Not bad, not bad." Liu An saw that the southern Jiangkou area suffered floods this year, and some local grain merchants raised the price.

The Dongchang directly passed the message to another grain merchant more than a hundred kilometers away, and the grain merchant directly pulled a train to take the grain over.

The Dongchang took the news and the local grain merchant was directly broken.

The food that is as far as seven or eight hundred kilometers has arrived in less than two days. After the flood, the local area simply planted some crops and vegetables that are profitable.

The price of vegetables was sold for a good price two months later.

Because Jiangkou has a lot of vegetables, you can load a train at a time and transport it directly, which is easier to manage than retail investors in many places.
