248: Resolve to the righteousness, Tang Yun collects taxes(2/2)

I never thought that it would be Leiyin Temple, a well-known and upright sect that has always abided by the law, is quite famous in Leihuo State, and is famous in the world. This is really surprising.

I think this is just an accident, maybe your temple has a big business, and all the eminent monks are busy studying Buddhist scriptures, so they forgot to take the initiative to pay taxes."

Yes, I was rude at the beginning.

First I will give you a sweet date from Leiyin Temple, and then I will give you a slap in the face.

Without waiting for Fuzi and the others to speak, Tang Yun said to himself: "Actually, I don't want to come over either. However, your temple is a martial arts sect, and everyone is a strong man. I'm afraid ordinary government servants will come over... haha."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the side, and the warrior quickly handed over the file in his hand.

Tang Yun shook his head, looked at the end, raised his head to the Buddha, and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about it. I didn't sleep all night yesterday, so I've done the math for you. There are a total of sixty-five temples in Xianghuo County.

.

There are a total of forty-two of them located in the city, depending on the size of the temples in each place and the year each temple was established.

I have done the math and found out that the total should be replenished...396,350,000 taels of gold, and I will take the decision to wipe out the fraction for you."

Pa da ~

The file fell at Fozi's feet, and the breeze blew through the footer, revealing, by accident, a long string of numbers that made people feel numb.

Buddha smiled slightly, but he was not panic. He looked up at Tang Yun and said, "May I ask, sir, whose world belongs to you?"

"Isn't this the whole world that belongs to the king's land? Isn't it possible that Buddhists have never read books?" Tang Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this and answered, while making a subtle sarcasm to the other party.

The Buddha was calm in his heart, looked around, and then said: "The poor monk thinks that this world belongs to the people of the world, and the world to the common people..."

"Do you think it's none of my business?" Tang Yun curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

"..." Fuzi was quite well-educated, but when Tang Yun pointed at his nose and scolded him like this, he still felt a trace of anger and opened his mouth to refute.

But Tang Yun struck first and blocked his words: "Even if it is as you said, the world belongs to the people of the world, but the people of the world are now protected by the imperial court, this city was built by the imperial court, and the land is owned by the imperial court.

People are protected by the imperial court, so you can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your emotions and reasons, right?"

A monk couldn't help but glared angrily: "But you can't pay so much in taxes. Your Excellency, this is deliberately making things difficult. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, I wonder which one you calculate based on?"

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce...are none of them."

Tang Yun tilted his head, and disdainful laughter spread around him: "Scholars have been living in poverty for decades, hardworking farmers are the foundation of the world, craftsmen make things convenient for the world, merchants have access to all corners of the world, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have nothing to do with you bunch of bald donkeys?

You should tell me, what good things have you done for the world? If you talk about protecting the people, why do you want to stay in the city? You should go to the forbidden area.

Cultivating fertile fields should also be outside the city. Craftsmen... look at your hands that are not touched by spring water. As for merchants, don't you call yourself poor monks?

You haven't done anything. You recite a few nonsense scriptures every day, confuse the people, confuse the public with monstrous words, and also plunder the people's hard-earned money at temple fairs. They call it offering to the Buddha, but in reality they are feeding you bunch of rice bugs. What do you think I am?

How do we calculate it? Of course we calculate it as a slave."

The Buddha's smile faded, and a look of anger appeared on his face: "You... sir, you go too far to deceive others and tell lies. This will lead you to the tongue-pulling hell."

Tang Yun licked his lips, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Don't go so far, I will ask you, do you pay this tax or... don't pay it."

The old monk twisted his rosary and asked in a deep voice: "So what if we make friends with each other? What if we don't make friends with each other?"

Tang Yun replied calmly: "If we hand over everything, everything will be fine. If we don't hand over, I will vacate this place for you. The world is so big, it doesn't matter where you go."

Buddha's face was solemn and he asked word for word: "What if I don't leave?"
