Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 233
Zhang Liang had just been transferred back to Chang'an from Huaizhou, and rushed back to take over the post of governor.

In Da Zongchi Temple, he directly asked the governor monk to prepare a seat.

The plain seats in the temple are very famous, and Zhang Liang used flowers to present Buddha.As the emperor's confidant in the hidden residence, he used to win over heroes and warriors from Shandong specifically for the emperor, but later he was accidentally arrested without any confidentiality.

The new emperor conferred meritorious officials, but Zhang Liang also conferred the title of Duke of Changping County for his meritorious service, and also received hundreds of household seals.He came out of Huaizhou and performed well.

"Duke Yi, please!"

Zhang Liang was very polite to Qin Lang, and did not despise Qin Lang at all because of his youth.Zhang Liang knew that he was just born in a poor and humble family, started as a rogue, and later voted for Li Mi in Wagang.After Li Mi came to the eight-pillar country, he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Liang who took the initiative to vote. The cavalry general was transferred to Xu Shiji's command.

Afterwards, he descended to the Tang Dynasty with Xu Shiji, and successively served as governor of Zhengzhou, Biejia of Dingzhou, etc., but every time he was beaten by his opponents and fled the city. help.Qin Qiong found Fang Xuanling, a fellow villager, and recommended Zhang Liang to him.

Fang Xuanling then recommended Zhang Liang to enter the palace of the Prince of Qin as a general of chariots and cavalry.In Qin Wangfu, Zhang Liang's talent was discovered. He has no ability in commanding the army. He is not the director of battle formation, but he is very good in administration.So Li Shimin gradually relied on him as his confidant, and later let him go to Luoyang area to be responsible for recruiting dead soldiers and connecting with powerful people.

Although he missed again later, he insisted on not confessing after all, for which Li Shimin was very grateful.

This time he was transferred back to serve as the town governor because he had done this job before. Although he was not selected, there was no other suitable candidate for the time being.

Zhang Liang raised his glass and drank a full glass first.

He came back not long ago, but he also discovered that the Zhenfusi is different from other yamen. This yamen was established by Qin Lang and has a strong personal brand here, not to mention Liu Jiulin, San Wei Chang, Zhang Cheng, Zhao An, Qin Yong, Qin Yong and others. Qin Lang's relationship is extremely close.

He also knew Xu Jingzong's failure, this guy just overestimated himself and underestimated Qin Lang.

"If it wasn't for Shubao's help back then, I wouldn't have been able to enter Prince Qin's Mansion." Zhang Liang was very grateful when he talked about the incense.Not to mention that now Qin Qiong is No. 1 in the military, and Qin Lang is the most popular confidant around the emperor. Maintaining this relationship is very important for a person like him who has no background.

"What does Sanlang want me and Zhenfusi to do, just tell me." Zhang Liang said, patting his chest.

Qin Lang looked at him, it was hard to imagine that this humble guy would be one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, and it was even more difficult to imagine that his position was even before Qin Qiong.

However, this guy was finally killed for treason.

Zhang Liang was one of the few ex-officials in Taizong's hidden residence who were beheaded by the downtown.

"In fact, we don't need to fight and kill. Inviting the county magistrate to come is just to win over the relationship between our two departments. There will be more places to cooperate in the future, and everyone will be close."

What Qin Lang said is correct, there is really no need to shout and kill.

But pulling the people from the Zhen Fusi to come is actually a deterrent.

Dao He and other great monks from the temple were invited, and Qin Lang asked the abbot to provide a list of all the monks in the temple, including the list of clean people (slaves) in the temple.

When Qin Lang asked for the emperor's edict to assess the monks of Da Zongchi Temple, he was a little flustered in congratulations.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Wude came here once, but the exam was relatively simple at that time, and at least he was required to recite one scripture.They are more tolerant of these big temples, without forcing them, mainly for those small temples.

Dao He proposed to subscribe for a thousand bonds.

"I'm sorry, the 100 million bonds issued by the imperial court have been fully subscribed, and there are no plans to issue new bonds yet, but thank you abbot for your kindness."

Qin Lang didn't talk to them either. The Zhen Fusi transferred the Jinwu guards to surround the temple outside, and then he let the bad people from Chang'an County, Yongzhou enter the temple and invite all the monks and clean people out of the temple.

"The official will personally preside over the exam, and Zhang Zhenfu will invigilate the exam!"

For the exam, it's just going through the motions.

All monks are required to report their identities, where they were born, what their lay parents’ names are, where they came from, what scriptures they study, what positions they hold in the monastery, etc., and they are required to register one by one.

After registration, let them choose a scripture to recite, as long as they can recite at least two volumes, they will pass, and then the transshipment department will issue a diploma, of course, to give money.

There are many monks in Dazongchi Temple.

Most of them passed the exam, but there were also some young monks, or monks who had been engaged in some miscellaneous labor, who had difficulty completing the exam and could not memorize two volumes of scriptures.

Three hundred strings per order!

Qin Lang showed Monk Daoyue a box of certificates, which were actually prepared in advance and filled in the names of the monks.

Pay with one hand and hand over the ultimatum with the other.

Congratulations and other monks were stunned, and there is such an operation?

"For these monks who have not passed the exam, according to the imperial edict, they have to be ordered to return home." Zhang Liang sang black faces at the same time.

Daoyue hurriedly asked for accommodation.

"The Dazongji Temple is famous all over the world, and it also needs some cleaning monks, etc. I can understand it, but in the future, we still need to strengthen our efforts in homework. This time, the envoy will give accommodation, but..."

Zhang Liang added that for those monks who did not pass, they would receive five hundred guan per piece.

A group of monks can't help but feel pain.

Those who pass the exam will pay three hundred, and those who fail will pay five hundred.

In this Dazongchi Temple, there are hundreds of monks, big and small. Even if the Dazongchi Temple has money, they are not willing to pay like this.

But Zhang Liang said with a sneer, "After an hour, those who have not obtained the degree will be expelled from the temple by the Zhen Fusi and forced to return to vulgarity. If they resist, they will be arrested and exiled to the Lingnan farmland!"

One monk, one ultimatum, non-transferable.

Useless after death.

In the future, if you want to be ordained as a monk, you must also apply to the Transit Department. You must pass the exam before you can get the degree certificate, and you still have to pay money.

The monks said they didn't have so much money.

Zhang Liang immediately said bluntly, "Who doesn't know that your chief executive has money in the temple? The land alone is no less than three thousand hectares. If you don't have money, you can use the land in exchange for it!"

It is impossible for Da Zongchi Temple to have no money. Not only do they have thousands of hectares of land, but they also operate the largest quality warehouse in Chang'an, engage in mortgage lending, and make huge profits, not to mention accepting donations and tributes.

Qin Lang took time off.

He came today, it is impossible to leave without collecting money.

Daoyue and other monks were all anxious.

But the people from Zhen Fusi had already surrounded the gate of the temple, and no one could get out, even if they wanted to find someone to shut them down and make a statement.

The monks still wanted to grind, but Zhang Liang waved his hand and ordered to start arresting people.

"Those who don't have a certificate will be escorted to the Zhen Fu Division for registration first!"

Monk Daoyue finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Zhang Zhen Fu envoy, Qin Zhuan Yun envoy, wait a minute!"

·······
No matter what the monks said, in the end, with the cooperation of Qin Lang and Zhang Liang, they could only obediently accept the imperial edict.

The transshipment department began to fill out the certificates for the monks of Dazongchi Temple.

One person who passed the examination had three hundred guan, and one who failed five hundred guan. Even the pure men in the temple had to hold a certificate to work, but they didn't need to take the exam or certificate, but they needed to register and issue a deed with the Transshipment Department.

And each slave in the temple needs to pay five strings of money to get the deed.

Boxes of copper coins, bolts of silk cloth, and even a lot of gold and silver collars were brought out of the warehouse and handed over to the transshipment department for counting.

Qin Lang was very satisfied with the cooperation of the monks of Da Zongchi Temple.

"Issuing receipts to the masters!"

A temple, half a day.

Qin Lang got more than 2 worth of marriage fees and slave contract money!

Hundreds of certificates with the great seal of the Transshipment Department were also distributed to monks such as Daoyue one by one. These certificates are like contracts, half of which are used by monks, half of which are archived by the Transshipment Department, and there is a seal in the middle.

"Master, please keep it in a safe place. In the future, the Transshipment Department will regularly check the certificates of the monks in each temple. If there is no certificate, it will be very troublesome."

After hearing this, the monks hurriedly collected it carefully, and a piece of ultimatum is hundreds of guan.

This time, the Da Zongchi Temple is bleeding heavily. Over the years, more than half of the gold, silver, money and silk have been saved.

Qin Lang put his palms together to the monks and resigned.

"Close the team!"

Zhang Liang waved his hand arrogantly.

People from the Zhen Fu Department and the Transit Department were evacuated.

Zhang Liang watched the people from the transshipment department carrying boxes of money and silk out, with envy in his eyes.

"In such a short period of time, I got more than 2 coins. These bald donkeys are really rich."

Qin Lang saw the greedy light in his eyes, and reminded him with a smile, "His Majesty has been looking forward to this money for a long time."

Zhang Liang laughed twice, "These bald donkeys are really rich. I think three hundred guan per certificate is too cheap, and the price should be increased."

The implication is that everyone has worked hard, and you can get more money by increasing the fare, and everyone will share the extra money.

"There must be rules and standards for everything. If the rules are violated, it will not look good in the future. What's more, this matter has existed since ancient times. From now on, the world has been paying attention to it, and countless people have paid attention to it. If there is anything wrong, the county Neither the husband nor I end well."

Zhang Liang laughed a few times, "Yes, yes."

After leaving the Dazongchi Temple, Qin Lang and Zhang Liang went straight to the Dazhuangyan Temple opposite. Dazhuangyan Temple and Dazongchi Temple were named Zen Ding Temple and Da Zongchi Temple in the Sui Dynasty. They were both royal temples in the Sui Dynasty. The vast temple.

After a successful start at Dazongchi Temple, Dazhuangyan Temple went very well.

Half a day later, Qin Lang and Zhang Liang went out with more than 2 coins.

Next, Qin Lang no longer went out in person, and the Transshipment Division sent out several teams, and the Zhenfu Division and the Yongzhou Prefecture sent people to cooperate with each other to enter the major temples and temples in Chang'an to collect money.

Hand over a sheet of certificates, and bring back boxes of money and food.

In three days, Qin Lang really sold the certificate and got millions of coins.

When Li Shimin walked in the warehouse of the Longqingfang Transshipment Department, looking at the boxes of gold, silver, copper coins and piles of silk cloth, his eyes could not help but shine!
