Chapter 46: Go out and try if you have the seeds

Facts have proved that Daoguang's idea that the monks from Zhengjue Temple were not willing to go to the countryside was completely wrong. The ten seals were still very attractive to the monks from Zhengjue Temple. Because early the next morning, more than ten monks set out from Zhengjue Temple and went to the nearby village to save all living beings.

Among them is Monk Faxian who said a few words to Wukong yesterday!

However, most monks still chose to wait and see, but Wukong didn't care. Just like when Master Daoxin asked those monks to work in Dalin Temple, the monks in Dalin Temple were reluctant. After all, the monks' life like eating and sleeping and eating pigs was a habit, and it suddenly broke that no one would be happy.

In Wukong's opinion, it doesn't matter whether these guys are happy or not. Anyway, if Zhou Shaode plans to investigate Zhengjue Temple, he will die if he doesn't plan to return to secular life. For the change of rules, some vested interests will always be sacrificed.

What did Marx and Uncle Ma say? It always kills some people!

Although Wukong shouted in front of the monks of Zhengjue Temple, "Xiao Na, I am willing to help everyone wholeheartedly. When he was talking to Daoguang, he said that as long as he follows us, he is his own people, and those who don't follow us are outsiders. But in fact, he didn't tell anyone about the real thoughts in Wukong's heart.

In Zhengjue Temple, except for Dao Guang Zhixing and Xuanshuang, he had his own people and his own people! The remaining bald donkeys were all outsiders. No matter who they sacrificed, it was nothing to do. Whether it was the monk Zhiyan with a blank face or the monk Faxian who was full of anxiety.

Wukong even had an episode in his heart that he hoped that Zhou Shaode would really come to Zhengjue Temple to rectify and have some conflict with these monks. If he killed someone, it would be best if he died. As long as he died, the next thing would be easier. For example, carrying the body to attack the county government office! Carrying the body to Chang'an!

What did Tan Sitong say? What can reform the world be done without bleeding?

If Wukong's idea was still how to support the monk in attacking Taoist priests before coming to Zhengjue Temple, but after coming to Zhengjue Temple and seeing monks like Zhiyan, Wukong's idea has completely changed.

The Taoist priests want to attack, but these damn monks also have to clean up.

For these monks who feel that they have seen through the world, if you don’t let them see some blood, you may really think that you have become an arhat. If you don’t starve them for three or five days, they really think that they can fast!

So although Wukong was passionate on the stage yesterday, if he really analyzed it carefully, everyone would understand that he still had no solution to the problem of private monks.

Of course, we all know that this matter is not impossible for Wukong to solve, because the seal may be a big deal for other sects, but for Wukong, one or two hundred seals are a large number, but it is not impossible to produce them.

The key is still a question of whether it is worth it or not!

Just the guys in front of me who were eating and drinking Wukong's, and just wanted to show off their faces to Wukong even if they had nothing to do?

Xiao Ni cares that they will die!

So Wukong just sent someone back to inform the little loli last night, saying that he would stay in Zhengjue Temple for three days. If the little loli is bored, he could come to Zhengjue Temple to find him. In addition, he asked Hong Lei to get a thousand guan and ten pieces of cloth, preparing to pay for those monks who already wanted to return to secular life.

As for the monks who asked the monks to scatter in order to avoid Zhou Shaode's arrest, it was actually for Daoguang to listen. According to Wukong's own estimate, although there were more than a dozen monks out in the morning, it would be good if half of the smart people went to other county towns. Most of them were probably just walking around the nearby villages.

But you didn’t even leave Yifeng County and wanted to avoid the local county magistrate. Have you eaten something that you can’t digest?

"Huiming, go and find Monk Naosui Fayan from Zhengjue Temple for me." Wukong looked outside and found that no one had come to his place to get money to return the secular life. So he simply patted the head of a little novice monk next to him with his hand and arranged a task for him.

Naosui's job is mainly to manage production affairs in temples, such as organizing manpower, building houses, etc., and is considered a role like a foreman among monks in the Tang Dynasty.

Since no one comes, I can’t sit there, and I have to find something to do. Now that the personnel issues of Zhengjue Temple have been dealt with, I should deal with the most core issue, that is, the property issues of Zhengjue Temple.

If there are many reasons why His Majesty Li Yuan planned to attack Buddhism, such as the popularity of Buddhism is too great, and there are too many monks in Buddhism, but regardless of these or those reasons, the reason that really prompted him to make up his determination to attack Buddhism must be because Buddhism has already occupied too much interests.

In fact, to put it bluntly, just like what Daoxin once said, one word, money!

As mentioned earlier, the monks occupied about 40 million mu of land in the late Sui Dynasty. I believe everyone can understand how huge this number is when they see the next number. So during the Wude period, how many people did the entire Tang Dynasty have?

One thousand six million people!

In other words, the land that the monks now occupy is enough for all the people of the Tang Dynasty, including men, women, young and old. One person divides three acres of land, and this land is also good land:

In fact, although it was claimed that a person would have dozens of acres of Yongye Field in a person, a considerable part of Yongye Field was distributed to a place that was almost impossible to get away from him: for example, if you are in Luoyang, maybe this Yongye Field will be distributed directly to Dunhuang.

There is no way, Luoyang Feng is so close to you!

Under this kind of love, the monks hold so much land and so much money in their hands, just as the monk Daoxin once said, is it possible to not be missed by the emperor?

His Majesty Li Yuan is not a saint, so of course he also wanted to clean up the monk and make some ground. However, his food was much better than the later Emperor Wuzong of Tang. He did not directly order all monks to return to secular life and confiscate the land, but an order. All monks were not allowed to become monks without approval.

Of course, there are few monks who have become monks, so it is not appropriate to have so many lands in the monk temple, so naturally some of them can be collected back. Compared with the previous practices, His Majesty Li Yuan's approach is obviously more humane.

Since there is no monk who wants to return to the secular world and come to Wukong to do this, Wukong, who is idle and has nothing to do, plans to seize the time and deal with the root of the Zhengjue Temple.

"Uncle Master," Huiming's little shaman ran back in a hurry, "Uncle Fayan said he is very busy now. If you have something to do with him, go directly to his Zen room to find him."

It turns out that it was a local snake. I just got rid of Monk Fayuan yesterday and I was playing this trick with me today. "It's interesting!" Wukong's face opened with a smile, "Huiming, go and tell Monk Fayan, just say that Wukong, the prison temple of Zhengjue Temple, needs Monk Naosui Fayan to report his work to me."

The little novice Huiming turned his head and ran away in a hurry.

" "Uncle Master" Uncle Master!" After a few minutes, Huiming ran back again. "Uncle Fayan said that he is very busy now and has no time to report to you. When he is not busy late, he will report to you."

"Huiming, go and tell him if I can't see him appear if it's within a bell:" Wukong sneered, "I will report to the Zen Institute to remove his job as a Naosuke."

Huiming turned around and left again.

After about ten minutes, Huiming appeared again, but this time he did not appear alone but came back with a dark and strong monk.

When he saw this black monk, his information appeared in Wukong's head.

Monk Fayan, whose secular family surname is Zhang, is a wealthy family in Jiangzhou. After becoming a monk, he also had many contacts with his family. Now, the fields and other fields in Monk Fayan's family are all hung in the name of Monk Fayan and are considered as the property of Zen Buddhism, but in fact, they have never paid a penny to Zen Buddhism.

To sum up, Wukong is sure that the reason why this monk Fayan became a monk is actually that he can be tax-free. Moreover, this monk Fayan is also one of the few public monks in Zhengjue Temple at present.

"Junior Brother Wukong, what's the matter with me?" Monk Fayan stood in front of Wukong and said impatiently, "If you have something, just say it quickly. Senior Brother, I'm very busy and don't have time to play with you."

"Senior Brother, are you very busy?" Wukong looked at Fayan with a naive look on his face, "I, a few thousand people in a minute, didn't say that I am very busy. Senior Brother, you are very busy on the street. You are so busy that you don't even have time to learn about your work after I'm in charge of the temple."

"My little brother Wukong!" Monk Fayan glanced at Wukong contemptuously, "Senior brother, I said it was very busy, but I was very busy. You are still young, and you don't understand the affairs of adults."

"Very good!" Wukong raised his hands and began to applaud gently, "Senior Brother Fayan, you said so well. "I am indeed young and don't understand the affairs of adults. Now I would like to ask Senior Brother Fayan, tell me what you have been busy with this afternoon, okay?"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Fayan, I will let Huiming confirm what you said." Wukong looked at Fayan with a coconut smile, "If you are really busy, then I will apologize to you. If not, Senior Brother Fayan will deceive a disciple of a temple, but he will be recovered from Yinpin and expelled from the sect!"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Monk Fayan waved his hand and turned his head and planned to leave.

"If you have the guts, go out and try!" Wukong said to Fayan in a gentle tone, "But I tell you, as long as you step out of my Zen room, you will definitely lose everything. I guarantee it with my honest and reliable little husband!"
