Chapter 1298: Raising in Zhongguan Temple

Latest website: "Why is it called Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?" Li Longji was curious about the name of the dish.

"Some Buddhist disciples will abstain from eating meat and fish. There is meat and fish in "Buddha's Jumping Over the Wall". It means that because the taste is so good, Buddhist monks who have given up eating meat and fish are tempted to go beyond their faith and eat it. It can also be said that the disciples jump over the wall to eat."

Li Yi briefly introduced that in Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, some people ate meat and drank wine.

Some people don't eat it. It is said that not eating meat and fish was added to the teachings from the order given by the previous emperor.

Government and doctrine influence each other.

When the religious power is strong, the political power is weak, and the political power needs to act in accordance with the people in charge of the local religious power.

If those who hold political power do not obey those who hold religious power, they will be punished.

On the other hand, it is controlled by religion and political power, and whatever is forbidden can be banned.

"The temple occupies a large area and has many monks." Li Yi thought of the temple when he was considering who would listen to whoever had more power.

"A lot of land belongs to the temple, and no rent is paid." Li Longji had already restricted Buddhism and kicked some people out of the temple.

But he still wanted to go further, without the need for Buddhist beliefs or Taoism.

Newspapers are always promoting Chinese civilization and the Tang Dynasty.

People in Jingzhao Mansion went to temples less and less and no longer paid for sesame oil.

He even stole other people's incense and took it home to use on his and Brother Yi's longevity tablets.

The land once designated by the temple still produces harvests every year and is lent to outsiders.

Some people couldn't repay the money they borrowed, so they had no choice but to give their Yongye fields to Si Guan, causing Si Guan's land to continue to increase.

Now the people in Jingzhao Mansion and surrounding areas don't care about borrowing money because their interest rates are high.

People are more willing to borrow money from Lijiazhuangzi, such as buying clothes, building new houses, and buying livestock.

No one borrowed money to buy grain. There was enough grain to eat, and the people made money from picking tea, mugwort, and storing ice.

If we don't have enough money for large items, we can borrow them from the Li family, who then sends people to provide Jianhe with livestock.

Lijiazhuangzi’s fees are low, and people repay them in installments at normal prices.

It belongs to suppressing temples and temples, but it is only in Jingzhao Mansion and surrounding areas, and it is beyond the reach of further places.

Thinking like this, Li Longji became in a bad mood.

"Let them raise pigs." Li Yi was in a good mood. He had the place and the people to raise pigs.

"Raise pigs?" Li Longji was puzzled. Why did he suddenly want to ask others to raise pigs?

"They were relatively relaxed. They chanted sutras and memorized teachings, and they memorized them while raising pigs. They also had good fields for growing indica rice."

Li Yi said with an expression on his face that he was very concerned about the disciples of Buddhism and Taoism, with compassion for heaven and earth.

If his eyes hadn't narrowed involuntarily, the others would have believed him.

"Good idea." Li Chengqi spoke out in support. Yes, he told the people in the temple to raise pigs because the people needed to eat meat.

Cooking pig food, cutting pig grass, and cleaning pig manure do not affect the chanting. Serving the pigs while chanting sutras is a happy thing.

Empress Wang rubbed her belly and said, "Yes, they won't go to war, and they won't pay the rent. They are no longer asked to take care of Beitianfang. They should do something for Datang."

"Okay!" Li Dan said.

"This should have been the case a long time ago." Concubine Doulu agreed.

"How to raise pigs?" Li Longji began to consider specific aspects, and the matter of asking monks and Taoist priests to raise pigs has been decided.

"Cooperate and don't let them suffer. Let Si Nong Si... Li Jia Zhuangzi. I'm worried that the people in Si Nong Si will be selfish."

Li Yi wanted to operate through the officials, but he also believed that the official personnel were unreliable and would have to deal with them when the time came, which would be troublesome.

"My village has piglets, and they are responsible for raising them. If I raise a pig, I will get a hundred pounds of pork, and the rest is their profit.

If the seeds should be reserved, a litter of piglets must be produced before the sows are raised and slaughtered.

The piglets produced will still be mine, and I will continue to give them to them to raise, and the extra piglets will be distributed to the common people to raise. "

Li Yi started to talk about the specific data. He only produced piglets, and others helped raise them. He got the meat and new piglets.

Princess Yongmu likes to eat pork and knows something about it.

When she heard one hundred kilograms of pork, she frowned slightly and said, "Li Lang, only one hundred kilograms is a little too little, isn't it?"

Xiaolan nodded on the other side of Li Yi, "Sir, it should be two hundred catties."

"It's pork, without bones or water." Li Yi emphasized the words he said.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, how big can a pig grow if it gives birth to a litter? What is the meat yield rate after killing?

If the sow does not give birth to piglets, she will gain weight quickly but will give birth to piglets slowly. The same goes for boar pigs.

According to the conditions he proposed, monks and Taoist priests would not be able to get their capital back and would need annual subsidies.

Fortunately, he did not pursue lean meat ratio. People in the Tang Dynasty did not like to eat lean meat and had no oil or water.

If you want to gain more lean meat, pigs must exercise, run and swim.

"All their money for incense is stolen from them!" Li Chengqi gloated, he was happy.

People who believe in Buddhism will still give money. It just so happens that they give it to the temple, and Yi Di takes it and turns it into pork and piglets.

Turning around and providing subsidies to the people, Yi Di doesn't make this money.

It is equivalent to the labor of monks and Taoist priests and their contribution to the Tang Dynasty.

Who doesn't agree? Just look at Yulin Feiqi, Sixteen Guards and 30,000 recruited soldiers. I believe they will have a clear understanding.

"If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. I want to translate more scriptures, print a batch of them, and give them to them to study and preach."

When Li Yi bullies others, he wants to give them some benefits.

The Tang Dynasty was still working hard to translate scriptures, especially Buddhist scriptures.

By his time, after generations of translations and annotations, the content of the scriptures had become broader and deeper.

Especially in terms of interpretation, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, the different views given by later generations are the most precious.

In terms of debate, Li Yi can confuse the monks of today with the meaning of the scriptures at that time.

If you take time to copy one or two scriptures a year, I believe the pig farmers will be satisfied.

Like medical books, if you give out medical books, the learners have to see patients for free as tuition.

Only acupuncture, massage, and medicinal materials can make money.

"Brother Yi, thank you for your trouble." Li Longji thanked.

Starting from the beginning of next spring, temples and monasteries in a large area will start raising pigs. By the end of next year, when the results are achieved, they will be promoted to more distant places.

Li Yi ate a bite of food: "There are many lazy monks and Taoists. They don't farm the fields belonging to temples and monasteries themselves, but rent them out to other people."

Li Yi mentioned another thing, UU reading books www.uuｋanshu.net temples and monasteries, monks and Taoists in them, enjoy themselves all day long, and have classes.

The lower you are, the more tired you are. When you get to the top, you eat well and sleep well every day, but you don’t have to work at all.

Farming and watering by yourself is not possible.

They rent out the land they have fenced off to others to work on, and they collect a lot of rent, but they don’t pay rent at the same time.

There is still no Yong and Tiao, which is equivalent to a big landlord who does not pay taxes.

Some people in it have frequent contacts with royal nobles, and even do shameful things.

Li Yi is considering making further changes. So many tenants work for monks and Taoists, so it’s better to work for Li’s farm.

“Move the people who farm for them to my hands. The people are too miserable. I will take care of them. I don’t want their rent.”

After Li Yi finished speaking, he looked at everyone. Everyone looked at Li Yi and nodded, meaning that if you want it, you can take it.
