Chapter 48: The amount of gift? What is the amount of gift?

The so-called gift was the abbreviation of the Monk Temples in the Tang Dynasty! In the past, the government's abbreviation for the Monk Temples was called the Imperial Gift Temples, which originated from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, because most of the emperors during the Southern and Northern Dynasties respected Buddhism, this so-called gift was mostly used as a commendation for a certain temple, similar to a certificate of awards.

During the Sui Dynasty, the gift of the quota was gradually transformed into a means to control the number of monks. In other words, the gift of the quota was no longer a certificate, but became the primary condition for whether the temple could be built.

If you have a gift, then the temple you built will be recognized by the state. If not, then I'm sorry, the thing you built is illegal and cannot be called a temple: in most cases, people call this temple built by themselves without a gift, Zhaoti, or Lanruo.

For example, His Majesty Li Yuan once praised him and said that he would definitely be the emperor, Shengye Temple built by Monk Jinghui, was the first temple to receive a gift after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the three temples of Shengye Temple were said to have been written by His Majesty Li Yuan himself. Of course, this special case.

If you say it more clearly, then the gift of the quota is actually similar to the seal. The temple with the gift of the quota is like a public monk in a monk, while those who do not have the gift of the quota are private monks.

In Wukong's view, there are only two things that cannot be missed in the entire Zhengjue Temple. First, the gift of Zhengjue Temple. Second, the property of Zhengjue Temple. As long as these two things are still there, it doesn't matter whether the monks in the temple die or live, whether they return to secular life and go out of the monks.

It is difficult to find a toad with three legs to speak, but the monk with two legs is still full of all the ground.

But the problem is here. After Wukong rewrote all the documents in the box brought by Fayan, he did not see the imperial court's gift to Zhengjue Temple.

"Give me a gift?" Monk Fayan looked at Wukong with a confused look on his face, "What gift is a gift?"

"What are the gifts? Nonsense!" Wukong swung the land deed in his hand and slapped Monk Fayan in the face. "Of course, it was the imperial court that allowed me to build the Zhengjue Temple in Huangmei. Idiot! Where did it go?"

Monk Fayan shuddered all over and then knelt down, "Little Langjun, I really haven't seen the gift text you said. What kind of gift text is there? Four years ago, when I started Naosui in Zhengjue Temple, there was so much land deeds. You want to say that I eat more and take up more things, but I definitely don't have the courage to embezzle."

You really want to embezzle. Even if you give me embezzle and other things, it will be of use to embezzle it.

Goku was a little unwilling to give up and flipped over the things in his hand. No, it was indeed not. Then he then said to Monk Naosui, "You said that when you took over Naosui, there were so many things?"

"Yes, "Langjun, you are aware of it!" Monk Fayan kowtowed and bounced around. I believe he was not so pious even when he kowtowed and saluted Buddha." I really only have so many things in my hand."

"Huiming, go and call Senior Brother Xuanshuang for me."

Wukong was really angry this time, and he didn't even bother to check the number of land in his hands. To be honest, the amount of land in Zhengjue Temple is probably very important for other monks. It involves a big deal of making a living by himself. But for Wukong, as long as it can be solved with money, can it be considered a problem?

I’m just not short of money!

Wukong is really confident in this regard. After all, he is the largest private salt dealer in Jiangzhou. Unlike a wasteful firewood breeze more than a thousand years later, he had to add a prefix before saying this.

Because time is money, the wind blows now that the poor are all the money left!

But the gift of the quota is different. This is a real thing that you have money but have no place to buy. A gift of the quota is equivalent to a temple, and a temple is equivalent to thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land without paying taxes.

What is this concept?

It is no exaggeration to say that in ancient times, not only in the Tang Dynasty, monks and maids in temples and temples always occupied an important position in the entire GDP.

Once there are too many monks, the country will have less taxes! If there are too many monks, the country will be unable to hold on!

Most of the unlucky experiences of the short-lived dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties were related to too many monks. Of course, this is definitely not a direct factor for those short-lived dynasties, but there must be such reasons. Why did His Majesty Li Yuan start to attack monks vigorously since the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and also to prevent this matter.

However, even if Wukong knew these things, it did not mean that he would support His descendant Li Yuan to attack the monk. Is it true that his butt always determines his head. Now that we are monks, we have to consider the future of the monk. In Cao's camp, we are in Han and we are in the Han Dynasty. This and the generous Cao Cao are. If it is changed to Liu Bei, you can try it...

I can't kill you!

Monk Xuanshuang was much happier than Monk Fayan. He didn't let Huiming run three or four times, and immediately followed Huiming back. As soon as he entered the door, Monk Xuanshuang saw Monk Naosui kneeling respectfully in front of Wukong, and was shocked, "Junior Brother Fayan, what are you doing? Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. I checked the accounts, but found that Senior Brother Fayan had a few numbers, right? So I asked Senior Brother Fayan to come and ask." Wukong's expression eased for a moment and asked Fayan to help him solve the problem. "As soon as I said that, Senior Brother Fayan actually knelt down and sweared to the Buddha, saying that he was not corrupt at all. In fact, Junior Brother, I didn't say that he was corrupt either."

After hearing Wukong's words, Monk Fayan raised his fat face and looked at Wukong with gratitude.

Monk Fayan was not planning to beat him to death directly. After all, there were too many monks, and there were mud and sand, and there were all kinds of good and bad. Monks were also humans. Monks could do things that mortals could do, and monks could do as well.

Monk Fayan is just a little greedy, and nothing else is actually nothing. As the saying goes, if you don’t raise fish in the clear water pond, this little trick is still acceptable. If you are not afraid of you being greedy, you are afraid that you are like Zhiyan, and you will be unfathomable. In fact, it is useless like a stone. This is a scam.

Therefore, when it is time to deal with Fayan, you must also block him when it is time to block him.

"Oh, that's it!" After hearing Wukong's words, Monk Xuanshuang had no doubts. After all, in his opinion, the explanation was reasonable." Junior Brother Fayan and Junior Brother Wukong said, he didn't say you are corrupt, so you should get up quickly."

"Yes, yes!" Fayan nodded and climbed up from the ground.

"Junior Brother Wukong, you asked Huiming to me and say something is wrong. I don't know what's wrong?" Monk Xuanshuang then said to Wukong, "Speak quickly. After I finish speaking, I will take people to the bottom of the mountain to buy vegetables and arrange meals for the monks in this temple after I come back."

That’s right, Monk Fayan said that he was busy or not, Senior Brother Xuanshuang said that he was busy, that must be really busy! Wukong looked at Xuanshuang depressedly, and he was really powerless to complain. You are the virgin of our temple, Senior Brother Xuanshuang. You go to buy Mao vegetables and cook Mao rice every day. You have made all these things? What should Monk Dianzuo Fa'an do?

Do you have any concept of coordinated management? Soul Dan!

Forget it! Wukong made up his mind, just like Senior Brother Xuanshuang, don’t let him be the leader here. He will send him back to Dalin Temple to grow vegetables in two days.

"Okay, I'll just say a long story." Wukong stretched out his hand and carried the stack of land deeds in his hand, making a clamor. "These things are the certificates of some land deeds and land from the temple that Monk Fayan gave me. These things should have been the right thing for Senior Brother Xuanshuang?"

"Yes, it's my responsibility!" Monk Xuanshuang asked carefully, "Is it less?"

"Let's not talk about the less land, this is not important." Wukong waved his little hand, "Now I just want to know something. Why is the gift text of our Huangmei Mountain Zhengjue Temple not inside? Is this thing taken by senior brother, or is it taken by the temple master Zhiyan?"

"Give me a gift?" Not only Monk Fayan, but also Senior Brother Xuanshuang showed a confused look on his face, "Does there be this thing in our Zhengjue Temple?"

"Senior Brother Xuanshuang, don't joke?" Wukong shook the deed in his hand. "In the past few years since I became a monk, every time I heard Senior Brother Hongren talk about Zhengjue Temple with you, we always say that our Zhengjue Temple is a temple recognized by the imperial court. If we don't even have a gift, what kind of temple can we be considered? At most, Lan Ruo can only be considered."

"The court admits it?" Senior Brother Xuanshuang thought about it and replied, "Yes, we are indeed recognized by the court..."

"Isn't that right?" Wukong continued to ask happily, "The court recognized the matter, so Mr. Wen is good. Maybe senior brother, you don't know that this article is called "Go", so where is this article?"

"No article?" Xuanshuang continued to answer.

"Senior brother, are you kidding me?" Wukong asked depressedly, "If we had not given the quota, how could we be considered a temple recognized by the court?"

"It was recognized by the court!" Senior Brother Xuanshuang continued, "Senior Brother Hongren went to Huangmei County to find the county magistrate and said that we were going to build a temple in Poeshan. He asked him how it was? He was very happy at that time and agreed. Can't this be considered to be recognized by the court?"

After listening to Senior Brother Xuanshuang's words, Wukong was already standing there!

!Mud!!! Ah!

Are you fucking brains? A small county magistrate agreed to build a temple in Huangmei County and the court admitted that the court would say that when the county magistrate could speak on behalf of the emperor.

A county magistrate said I agree with you about building a temple. You dare to lick your face and say in Dalin Temple in Jiangzhou that the court of Zhengjue Temple recognized you, what have you done? You have done the county magistrate's sister!

I’m giving you a gift, but I don’t give you a gift. You’ll tell me about Cai Guoqing!

Believe it or not, now that you have arrived at the county magistrate, he dare not admit that he has promised you this.

This is what the future Five Zen Patriarchs did? Are there any Five Zen Patriarchs who are so stupid in the world? To be continued.
