After this turmoil, Chang'an Prison released all those people.

"His Majesty ordered you to go back and reflect for three days."

After saying that, he left.

"Go home and reflect for three days? What kind of punishment is this?"

The man replied, yes, what kind of punishment is this?

There are also people who are asked to go back and reflect for three days.

"That's because there are always many people, and the law does not punish the crowd. Or maybe our behavior is right."

"That's right, next time I see a monk, I'm going to fight him."

These people came out happily and were released shortly after entering.

At this time, a notice was posted on the street.

"Buddhist people are provoking troubles in Chang'an, causing trouble, killing countless people, and committing many crimes. Tomorrow at noon, they will be executed in the western suburbs of Chang'an."

Someone read out the notice.

"Buddhists will be beheaded by Tongtongchu, which is very satisfying. Who gave this order?"

"It seems that it was suggested by Xie Ji."

"Xie Ji finally made a good suggestion this time."

The people were talking a lot. After this incident, few people had sympathy for Buddhism anymore.

This Buddhism deserves to be destroyed.

——————

"How to do how to do?"

Several officials were discussing privately that they were going to kill all the monks in Chang'an this time.

They all have a good impression of Buddhism.

"Let's go find Xiao Shangshu and see if he can do anything?"

"he?"

"Don't you think his nephew has a good impression of Buddhism? Maybe he is pro-Buddhist."

Someone suggested, don’t you think Xiao Yu is close to the Buddhist sect? If so, isn’t Xiao Yu the same?

"Okay, let's treat a dead horse like a living horse."

After discussing it, those people went to Xiao Mansion one after another.

"Shang Shu, there are several officials outside the door asking for an audience. They are talking about Buddhism."

"Tell them that there is nothing I can do to help, so let them all leave. Just say that this is the Prime Minister's wish. Only the Prime Minister can make His Majesty take back his life."

Xiao Yu said this without hesitation, "Go and trouble Xie Ji. What are you doing with him?"

Be sick!

Where do they have the confidence to think that they can go back and help Buddhism?

Outside the Xiao Mansion, the servants said to them: "The minister said that he can't help him. If you want to save him, you can go to the prime minister."

What?

Go find Xie Ji?

He is the one he wants to destroy. Look for him and seek death.

So he went to the palace to find the emperor.

Naturally, I was reprimanded by the emperor. If you dare to do this again, you will also be punished.

And he directly issued an order: no monks in the world are allowed to be officials, are not allowed to wear splendid clothes, and are not allowed to eat meat.

Once discovered, they will be punished with serious crimes.

————

The next day, all the Buddhist disciples were dragged to the western suburbs of Chang'an City, and they cursed Xie Ji one after another.

"Xie Ji, you will get retribution. You will go to hell if you do this."

"You have committed countless murders with your own heart. Not only will you be infamous for thousands of years, but you will also be cut into pieces in the future..."

"Ah hahaha, cause and effect repay you. If you don't repay it now, you will definitely repay it later."

"..."

Many curses reached Xie Ji's ears, and Xie Ji asked the person next to him: "Is the time up?"

"Back to Prime Minister, it's just noon."

"In that case, let's start over there."

Xie Ji closed his eyes, but some curses and cries still reached Xie Ji's ears.

Buddhism is still very powerful now. This time so many Buddhist disciples were killed for an excuse, but Buddhism in various places has not been extinguished.

——————

A few months later.

"Prime Minister, the mission you mentioned has been completed."

Zuo Nian said to Xie Ji that he had successfully provoked a confrontation between the two factions within the Buddhist sect, although the Buddhist sect knew that this was Xie Ji's trick.

But they still couldn't help but kill each other, because Baizhu promised not to massacre all Buddhists, but supported a faction within it and made them dependent on the court. They had no choice but to spread the ideas that the court could spread, and completely became the puppet of the court.

Therefore, there is no need to kill them all.

Xie Ji nodded. He didn't expect that within a few months, Buddhism would be eliminated from a major sect, and the attack would be terrible.

On the other side, in addition to Buddhism, there are also some other local forces that are determined not to allow road construction.

Xie Ji asked Baizhu to use trickery to eradicate all those forces. He only used force when he had to use force.

Why use other methods when something can be solved effortlessly?

——————

At the same time, the household registration and land information of each household in various places has also been collected.

Xie Ji re-established the household registration system, learned from the Qin Dynasty's household registration system, and set up business cards.

This is what later generations would call an identity card.

And some restrictions on population movement have been relaxed. You can move across the country with your ID card, but you need to register when going from one place to another.

On this person's business card, not only the person's place of origin, age, gender, but also some identifiable information such as appearance are written.

At the same time, all types of household registrations, such as those for farmers, farmers, industry and commerce, and other household registrations will be abolished.

A business card is uniformly used. Of course, if the official wants to prove his identity, he will specially make an extra business card to identify himself.

The restriction that they can only engage in the career of their fathers has been abolished, which means that the sons of craftsmen do not need to be craftsmen, but can kill pigs, practice medicine, or become officials.

These changes in content caused the city of Chang'an to become chaotic again.

"Xie Ji causes trouble every day. This is too ridiculous."

"What's the use of being ridiculous? Can you stop it?"

The people in Chang'an City looked at today's newspaper and said that this newspaper was Xie Ji's merits of some measures and asked the people to abide by them.

At the same time, roads across the country are under construction, and they are not completed for a while.

However, Xie Ji's road construction this time did not cause any anger, because he spent money and provided some subsidies to the people who built the roads.

If you are unfortunate enough to have to build a road, you can also provide a subsidy of ten taels of silver to your family.

Therefore, the people were overjoyed and had no objection. On the contrary, they rushed to build the road.

——————

In the spring of the next year, many roads had been built and completed.

This year's bumper grain harvest may be a blessing from God. We haven't encountered any natural disasters in recent years.

The development of hybrid rice quickly spread it across the country and caused a stir.

People everywhere smiled happily at this good news.

Since the household registration system is almost settled, everyone gets his or her own business card.

Because I have let go of the restriction of being able to stay in only one place.

As a result, the floating population has increased.

Business has also developed.

At the same time, in order to prevent everyone from going into business, Xie Ji stipulated that businesses must pay a 60% tax, regardless of whether you make a profit or not. This is because Xie Ji understands that it is not unreasonable to emphasize agriculture and neglect business in ancient times.
