Yan Baiwei immediately understood what she meant: "You mean, you have to pay money to establish a sect?"
"More than that," Tang Shijin said with a smile: "There is an account opening fee for opening an account. You usually pay monthly rent. You can choose a good place to choose a number... No, there is a location selection fee. You usually have to pay a minimum consumption or something."
She said and laughed to herself: "Otherwise, you see, farmers are required to pay taxes and military service for land rent, and merchants also have various taxes. Only these people are not engaged in production, do not work, and do not pay taxes.
Don’t you think it’s unfair?”
Yan Baiwei pondered for a moment: "In the Song Dynasty, monks and Taoists were levied a small amount of free money, but it was only implemented for a short period of time. In the Tang Dynasty, some people also proposed to classify temples and Taoism. For example, the top Buddhist temples should retain twenty monks.
One person, fourteen Taoist priests in the upper-level Taoist temples, seven Taoist priests in the lower-level Buddhist temples, and those with Taoism among them were chosen to stay, and the rest were ordered to return to secular life. In some small Buddhist temples, all Taoist temples could be demolished. It is said that at that time
There was a lot of fuss, but it was not implemented."
He shook his head: "The monks and Taoists, and the aspirations of the people, are not easy to manage. They cannot be taken lightly or seriously."
He remembered and said to her: "Actually, these monks and Taoists are all very wealthy. The longevity treasury of some famous temples can easily exceed the tax revenue of a county."
Tang Shijin asked: "What is the Changsheng Treasury?"
"For example, if a temple obtains the belongings of believers, or they sell things like peace charms, the money they get is called the longevity treasury, and many temples will also use these to lend money... Usually temples renovate and reshape their golden bodies.
As well as the monks’ food, clothing, housing and transportation, all come from this.”
Tang Shijin was a little surprised: "You still lend money? What if you don't pay it back?"
"I don't know, no one dares not to pay it back, right?"
"What if I can't afford it?"
Yan Baiwei smiled and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Hey," Tang Shijin said: "Actually, these monks and Taoists are easy to manage. When the treasury has money, we can implement some policies such as land allocation and encourage people to return to secular life... After all, there are too few monks who have seen through the world of mortals. If
If this is the case, there is no need to force them to return to the secular world. Most people still have no choice but to become monks. After all, life in a real monastery is still very poor. You are a vegetarian, don’t you think?"
Yan Baiwei understood: "Actually, you still mean Jianghu sect, right?"
"Yes," Tang Shijin said: "Jianghu sect, how do you think we should restrict it?"
Yan Baiwei saw her expression and knew that she already had an idea: "Can you tell me?"
Tang Shijin said: "It's very simple! Take the teacher qualification certificate!! Hahaha!"
In fact, she had a sudden idea and threw the sweet treasure to his father. She stood up and said with a smile: "The martial arts conference guides everyone to 'defend the family and the country'. The martial arts competition encourages everyone to seek family background. It also allows them to take the martial arts qualification certificate exam! Take the exam."
Those who are not qualified are not qualified to teach students! If there are people who teach students privately, it will be regarded as an illegal assembly! Punish them!"
Yan Baiwei said: "That's okay. A scholar teaches apprentices. Even if you are enlightened in the countryside, you are at least a scholar. This is a threshold."
"It's different!" Tang Shijin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether a scholar is enlightened or a scholar. Generally, he is not a formal master or apprentice. But martial artists generally don't have enlightenment, especially in martial arts sects. You will be with one person for a lifetime. You
The master is a martial arts scholar and a martial arts scholar, but my master is a martial arts scholar. Do you think it is embarrassing or not?"
Yan Baiwei smiled and said, "But you just persuaded people to go to the border with your front foot, and then restricted them with your back foot. Aren't you afraid that they will scold you?"
"Hey," Tang Shijin said, "Why are you so honest? First, if you go to the border this time and make meritorious deeds, you can reward them with the status of Wu Xiucai, Wu Juren, or Wu Jinshi according to their merits! It's both honorable and economical!
As for other things, you can make a decree together with the literati. The threshold is to be a civilized and martial arts scholar. Then, if you want to take the civil and martial arts examinations and want to start a sect and teach disciples, you must take the examination! In addition, there are monks and Taoists... monks and Taoists are listed separately.
Well, there are also big sects like Shaolin, Emei, and Tianshi Tao. You can grant them 'exemption from examination'! How about it?"
Yan Baiwei listened and smiled: "Although it sounds nonsense, it is indeed feasible."
Tang Shijin glared at him: "Why am I fooling around? These are all very effective measures, right! Teachers teach and solve doubts, how can there be no threshold?"
"You are right," Yan Baiwei said, "Should I call people to discuss it?"
"Don't worry," Tang Shijin said: "If you find someone at this time, those literati will definitely talk a lot, but I asked Brother Six to write an article. When the article comes out, it will dispel the prejudices of many literati. Then you can start chatting
It’s easier.”
Yan Baiwei smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you so much, Fairy Wife, for not only showing me the way, but also giving me a ride."
"You're welcome," Tang Shijin said: "As a bad student, it's a lot of fun to have the opportunity to embarrass the teacher."
She was afraid of bringing down her son, so she only said the word "being", followed by humming and slurring, but Yan Baiwei heard it completely without any hindrance and laughed repeatedly.
Tianbao was often brought along by his father to discuss matters with others since he was a child. He knew very well that they should be quiet during discussions, so when they were talking, he stared at his dark grape eyes and listened quietly without making any fuss.
Until Tang Shijin hummed, this clever little kid immediately realized something was wrong. He stretched out his little hand and pointed at her to his father: "Huh?"
At this time, he still remembered not to speak.
Yan Baiwei smiled and kissed his son on the head: "Your mother-in-law is making trouble, Tianbao, don't imitate her."
Tianbao nodded: "Tianbao doesn't want to learn."
The little fat boy frowned and imitated his father's usual serious expression. He was so cute that he was so cute. Tang Shijin went over and kissed his son: "Can I change it?"
She took her son away to play with him.
The next day, Tao Chengqi asked someone to deliver the article.
Momorokuro's writing is as easy as picking fruits from a tree, even her essays are the same.
Although the article he wrote this time was not as straightforward as An Minshu's, and there were some parts that she couldn't quite understand, the literati were quite impressed.
Yan Baiwei took advantage of the situation and proposed the "Teacher's Order".
Because Qi Yaoling had already written a letter about the military examination and passed the court meeting, the Shi Zhe Ling passed smoothly without encountering any resistance, and then the Ministry of Officials slowly drafted the detailed rules.
Tang Shijin went to see Wang Shenxing, thinking of raising the issue of "treasury bonds" again.
She had just freed up her hands in the past few days to check the accounts of the treasury, and found that Yan Baiwei was really poorer than she thought. Fighting and recruiting troops and so on were also more expensive than she thought. She earned
So fast, it can't keep up with his speed, so the promotion of treasury bonds can be regarded as an emergency measure.
She pondered all the way.
As I was walking, I heard two people talking.
"Momorokuro's writing style is still not pertinent enough."
"That's true. He was originally an aloof person. After being injured, his writing became even more biased!"
"Every word is like a sword, and there is no grace at all..."
