The noisy shouts completely broke the peaceful atmosphere around. The ancient temple in the deep mountain continued to be destroyed, and it was busy, but it did not affect Wang Jingchong. In the Foguang Temple, a table was picked out, and people were ordered to put out the fruits and carry the Emperor's
The gift of tribute tea is leisurely and calm, and the firewood for the fire is the door plaque of the Buddhist temple...
"Secretary, Wutai County is asking for a meeting and has brought a group of government servants and civil servants with him!" A close subordinate came forward to report, interrupting Wang Jingchong's leisure.

Hearing this, Wang Jingchong didn't even blink. He took a sip of tea and said in his usual low voice: "Let him in!"
"Why should Wang Sishi come to this desolate forest and wilderness, and an ancient temple deep in the mountains?" As he walked quickly into the mountain gate, his two old eyes glanced around. He paused for a moment at the piles of gold, silver, and bronze wares piled up in front of the courtyard, which shone brightly.
He turned to Wang Jingchong, stepped forward and bowed.
The magistrate of Wutai County is an old man in his forties, with a goatee and a rough face, but his eyes are shrewd. Wang Jingchong simply looked at this man and said a little coldly: "Wutai County, please have a seat!"
"The rectification of Buddhist temples is now the top priority of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty and all the princes in the court are paying close attention to it. The Wutai Buddhist temple is in its prime. I came north on your order and I dare not neglect it. This is your territory. Wutai County should also be vigilant.
, don’t be careless, if it causes unnecessary turmoil and trouble, we can’t afford it..."
Wang Jingchong's flat tone was a bit bossy, without any politeness. The Wutai County Magistrate was obviously not a good person. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, and there was a flash of cruelty in his eyes, but he held it back.
He is a small county magistrate, a local bully, and there are people behind him, but he still lacks the confidence to face the big shots from Tokyo.
He had to smile apologetically and echoed: "The king's envoy is loyal to his duties, and the subordinate officials admire him, so he will not neglect it. After receiving the order, the subordinate officials have mobilized all the county officials, officers, and rural soldiers to fulfill the king's orders.
, King Taiyuan, over there, also sent two commanders of Hedong Ya soldiers to the north to suppress this side..."
When the "King of Taiyuan" was mentioned, the Wutai County magistrate paused deliberately, used an accent, and stared at Wang Jingchong's reaction. Wang Jingchong, on the other hand, just grinned, a small gesture of contempt.
"The official is here to recruit fifty civilian men to assist the envoy!" Order Wutai pointed to some young men waiting peacefully in front of the temple gate.
Wang Jingchong glanced at it and said: "I am here to supervise, resettle the monks and nuns, distribute the land, and collect property. If there is any need for space, Wutai Order will make arrangements for it."
After that, he pointed to some bronze statues of Buddhist utensils that he had found, and said: "These items are very large and heavy, and it is inconvenient to transport them. After they come out of the mountain, they are all melted in a furnace and sent to Tokyo!"
"Yes!" After hearing this order, Wutai Ling immediately became active and his eyes shone.
With the manpower brought by Wu Tai Ling, the cleaning speed of Foguang Temple was obviously accelerated a lot. Wang Jingchong only stared for a while, leaving the supervisor behind, and then took the lead to take the people away and go to the next stop.
The road down the mountain is rugged, but not dangerous. I rode a horse and swept the mountain road that clearly showed traces of artificial construction. Buddhism still has some credit for Wutai Mountain. At least it has put in efforts to dredge and build the mountain road. Although the road
It’s not wide, but it’s fairly flat, probably to make it easier for believers to go to the mountain to worship the Buddha, and even to collect and transport their belongings...
Wang Jingchong did not forget to give his instructions: "Send the order and ask the brothers to work harder and speed up. This matter has been completed. I will personally ask for credit for you!"
"yes!"
"Uncle, I see that many Buddhist temple properties have passed through the hands of local generals, and I am afraid that they will inevitably be embezzled and intercepted! The Wutai Order just now has not restrained its greed!" A young detective from the Wude Division next to him couldn't bear it.
Live towards Wang Jingchong Road.
After Wang Jingchong entered the Wude Department, he inevitably promoted people to be close to him and cultivated confidants to consolidate his position and facilitate his actions. The young people around him were his nephews and nephews selected from among his fellow villagers.
"That's inevitable!" Wang Jingchong's answer was affirmative.
"If that's the case, why do you still let it go?" Somewhat puzzled.
After hearing the question, Wang Jingchong showed confidence and said in a shrewd tone: "There are thousands of Buddhist temples in the world and they have great influence. With the power of the central court, if we want to accomplish great things, how much manpower and financial resources will it take?
Therefore, local help is needed. If the imperial court eats meat, the people below must get a share of the pie! Before coming, His Majesty also made some explanations about this matter, focusing on the overall situation, turning a blind eye or closing an eye.
!”
"Your Majesty's courage is enough to swallow up the heaven and the earth, and strive to 'destroy the Buddha'. How can it be attributed to these small sums of money, food, and goods? The troubles of the Buddhist temples are that they have no laws and regulations, do not engage in production, and waste money to hide the people. Confiscate the land and restore the people's households.
, restoring production and creating tax revenue is the key to Your Majesty’s strategy!”
"I understand! Uncle's holy will, no wonder His Majesty thinks so highly of you!" He looked like he suddenly understood and flattered me.
"Moreover, the states in Hedong are different from other places. The person standing behind the Wutai Order is the King of Taiyuan, and that is the emperor's uncle!"
Speaking of this, a strange look flashed in Wang Jingchong's eyes. Others may be in awe because of Liu Chong's status, but who is Wang Jingchong? He dared to drag Liu Chengjun, the king of Julu County, into the water last year for the sake of profit.
. With his scheming eyes and the comprehensive intelligence information from various sources in the Wude Department, he can certainly see that despite Liu Chengyou's repeated praise and rewards for Liu Chong's contribution to guarding Hedong, the emperor's attitude towards the emperor's uncle is not that simple.
Unfathomable...
After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Jingchong's tone became stern: "However, we can't let it go completely. We must not be careless about monitoring. If they have done too much, they can't blame me for being cruel! Those who are greedy will die, Buddhism
No one can monopolize this piece of fat! Although the imperial court’s finances are somewhat relaxed, your Majesty will eventually have to explain something!”
"And!" After a slight pause, Wang Jingchong said quietly: "We must keep an eye on our portion of the trip to Hedong!"
"As ordered!" The subordinate became energetic and smiled happily.
Qianyou destroys the Buddha, which is a gluttonous feast, divided and devoured from top to bottom. Basically, the imperial court eats the big head, local generals, officers and soldiers eat the middle head, and deacons and officials like Wang Jingchong eat the small head, so the head of Guizhou also eats the small head.
Can you share some of the soup...
"In addition, the King of Taiyuan can be particularly active in this matter. Pass the order and ask our people to keep their eyes open. How the armies in Zhenzhou and counties under Hedong Jiedu act, especially the Taiyuan Prince's Palace, record every move.
File it!" With a slight flash of eyebrows, Wang Jingchong lowered his voice and ordered.
"Uncle wants to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jingchong raised his hand to stop, and explained in words that he himself did not believe: "The matter of 'destroying the Buddha' is on the right track, and the Wude Secretary has his duty, but there must be no delay!"
In fact, the extermination of Buddhism in Hedong made Liu Chong feel full, full and fat, and he had no scruples.
