Chapter 2167 The Proceeds From the Seizure of the Seal Are Eye-Catching
Latest website: The sun jumped out of the horizon lightly, and Luoyang seemed even colder after the rain.
Li Yi's heart was warm, because the bills for the closure of temples and monasteries in Luoyang Palace were sent over, and he could take half of it, and then look at the real estate and fields.
Li Longji's face was cold, and Bi Gou sighed from time to time beside him.
"It has also been accumulated over many years, not just for a while." Zhang Jiuling said a word for the monks and Taoists.
"The Tang Dynasty court has accumulated for many years, why didn't it save it?" Su Yan's hands were shaking as he flipped through the account book.
The account book recorded many kinds of things, including gold, silver, jade, coral, diamond, Dzi beads, pearls, tortoise shells, copper coins, silk and satin, large-denomination exchange coupons...
Randomly flipping through the account book of a temple, after the value of the things was estimated, there were at least 200,000 strings.
There were relatively few Taoist temples, just relatively, half of the things.
"There shouldn't be many temples outside. The situation in Luoyang Palace is different. There should be some on Songshan Mountain. Another one is Chang'an. Oh! Chang'an doesn't count."
Bi Gou analyzed. He actually cared about the temples in Chang'an. How could Chang'an be worse than Luoyang?
"Border soldiers were in urgent need of supplies when they went to war. The people paid money to the county government, and the women in Pingkangfang gave money.
The people in Shu carried it with a shoulder pole, a wheelbarrow, and a shoulder.
The Salt Gang and the Pai Gang organized the mobilization of manpower. Xiao Yi Zhuangzi didn't care how much money he paid out.
Everyone knew that if the Tang army lost, the enemy would come in. Would there be eggs left intact under the overturned nest?"
Song Jing, who opposed the soldiers having too much power, talked about the war.
They talked about the temples, but everyone understood what he meant.
If the country was broken, like the later Turks came in, would the temples in Chang'an and Luoyang not be robbed?
Li Yi was smiling, he didn't care whether others paid or not.
When the King of Rebellion entered the capital, those who cried poor and said they had no money were confiscated. The records show that there were more than 70 million taels of silver.
Those who cried poor thought that others wanted to stabilize them, but they didn't think about what benefits the King of Rebellion promised to the soldiers.
As for the current 200,000 strings, even if you have more than 500,000 strings, 500 million coins, no matter how big the purchase of money is, one coin is equivalent to five yuan.
2.5 billion, is it a lot?
Have you ever seen a donation of tens of millions? How many coins can you get in a day by fishing in the wishing pool?
"Why do you have to do this? It's their ability to make money. It's my ability to take half from them.
It's not that I can't make the same money, but I'm afraid that the people have no money. I have to keep the roots when cutting leeks so that I can continue to grow.
Oh! How to spend it? Lao Bi, what are you looking at me for? I promised to give you the tax and give me half of the things."
As Li Yi spoke, his smile gradually disappeared, and he picked up the account book in front of him and hugged it in his arms.
Bi Gou was so angry that he laughed: "Is the account book money? Now you have more money than the court."
"I just issued an order a few days ago to support the baggage of 200,000 soldiers on the front line. They have horses, not only food for people, but also chewing for horses."
Li Yi looked through the accounts, is it that calculated?
"Xiao Yi is still rich, the temples and monasteries are far inferior to the Li family's manor."
Yao Chong, who was also called to watch, praised Li Yi, saying that a temple with 200,000 strings of cash was not enough to support the current 200,000 soldiers to fight.
Adding all together would be fun, and it would be better to take the money from Chang'an.
"Gangrou only takes half, and there is still half left." Zhang Jiuling reminded.
"Don't rob anymore." Li Yi put down the account book and waved his hand: "Chang'an can't be touched, Luoyang takes half, if there is money, ask them to pay for the books in the future."
"Yes, it can't be given for free." Song Jing supported Li Yi, even if the money was not paid by him.
Li Longji has been listening all the time. After listening to Li Yi, he felt much better: "Brother Yi, copy it out... How do you spend the money you earn?"
"Expand the scale of the factory, hire more people to work, and let all the people of the Tang Dynasty use matches by this time next year."
Li Yi considered investing in industry. The money for road construction was enough and had already been reserved.
"Enough? I have it in my hands..." Li Longji didn't know how much money the factory would cost. He had a lot of money.
He was happy when he had a lot of money, and he was jealous when he saw the temples had a lot of money.
Li Yi shook his head: "If it can't be used up, take out most of the remaining money and send it to Ezhou and other prefectures, and ask the farmers to spend it accordingly."
Li Yi mentioned another place, a large area of Dongting Lake.
A lot of farmers were sent out to collect land, find people to work, and raise livestock locally.
Where the investment is made, the living conditions of the people there will be better.
If a lot of investment is made in one place, and the lives of the local people do not change, it means that the investment has failed.
If the people not only did not make money, but also got sick due to environmental pollution, it means that the investment...
"What do they keep their money for?" Su Yan thought of a question.
The monks and Taoists in the temples saved a lot of money. Do they like to look at valuable things and exchange coupons?
Li Yi gave the answer: "In order to deal with natural disasters and war disasters, they ran away in advance before the soldiers came and took things with them.
There is food in the account book. When there is a natural disaster, they give out porridge and buy more food at the same time.
If they don't give out porridge, they are afraid that the people who are about to starve to death will snatch it. If they take out a part, the people will support it."
"What about now? Give you half, and they dare to keep the other half? We know how much money they have."
Su Yan asked again. No one checked before, and thought that there was not much money in the temple.
Now even if there is a temple with 200,000 strings, Li Yi will be given 100,000 strings, and there will be 100,000 strings left.
Li Yi thought about it and said uncertainly: "It should be enough to gild the Buddha, or buy land in other places to build temples."
"Alas!" Su Yan sighed.
"Write it in the newspaper and let the people know." Li Yi said casually.
"Will the people rob?" Zhang Jiuling thought of the previous situation where people robbed things.
"Send people to protect, don't rob, robbing other people's things is illegal."
Li Yi said righteously, he didn't say this before.
Li Longji pointed his finger on the account book: "A lot of money and things are actually rewards to them."
He provided a source of funds for the other party, the emperor gave it, some emperors thought Buddhism was good, gave it to Buddhism, and some emperors thought Taoism was good, gave it to Taoism.
Anyway, there is always a good one, using their propaganda to govern the world.
Including Confucianism, UU reading www.uukanshu.net also rewarded.
"If it is written in the newspaper, the temples and monasteries in Henan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture will give porridge."
Yao Chong considered the response of others, Jingzhao Prefecture can't escape.
Henan Prefecture has more, will the people think Jingzhao Prefecture has less?
Li Yi nodded: "Almost. Bring all the things here first. I'll pick them out. If we split them in half... we'll give them the worthless ones.
Pearls, corals, jade, diamonds, tortoise shells, silk, and I don't want Dzi beads.
Gold, silver, and copper coins, convert them into exchange coupons for them so they don't suffer any loss."
"How many boxes should we pack for them?" Bi Gou thought about the number of exchange coupons.
"No, print them with large denominations, one thousand coins each, so they can be carried easily." Li Yi shook his head. He was thinking about the monks and Taoists.
