Chapter 588 Forced Donation (5)(2/2)
"Of course, the quality warehouse of Daxiangguo Temple should be handled by the elders of the priest and sect, and come up with a penalties."
"Mencius, all four elements are empty, and they should not be entangled in the world's wealth." Zhao Xu looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "What's more, the temple worshipped by the royal family? What does the Grandmother think?"
The Empress Dowager nodded: "The official is right."
She also hates the eating behavior and style of the monks.
If it weren't for the fact that Daxiangguo Temple was related to the face of the Tian family, she wouldn't have specifically asked Zhao Xu to talk about this.
As for other temples, what are the current difficulties?
Sorry, this Empress Dowager has never even heard of it.
Whether it is Shi Deyi of the Inquiry Department, the Prime Minister, or the Wife who entered the Palace, they are now shutting their mouths tightly and not talking about what is happening in the capital.
All interest groups have joined forces.
Everyone was sharpening their knives, just waiting for the monks to admit defeat, and then everyone shared the fat piece of meat in the quality warehouse.
On this point, even the Chief Censor Fu Yaoyu, who has always been honest, selfless and strict, now stands on the same position with the relevant interest groups - although Fu Yaoyu looks down on him, he also dislikes the faces of nobles, foreign relatives and merchants.
However, the faces of the monks made him even more annoying.
In Fu Yaoyu's eyes, this matter is a matter of two evils.
Moreover, Fu Yaoyu felt that the zhiku thing was transferred from the hands of the great monks to the powerful and the relatives of the foreigners.
The Censorate will be supervised in the future and will not be held back.
...
the next day.
August Yiwei (the tenth day of the lunar month).
Zhao Xu left the palace again and came to Kaifeng Prefecture.
After leaving the palace this time, after the imperial guards crossed the prefecture bridge, Zhao Xu saw that the people from Jia Zhongmin's street office were commanding a large number of people along the entire eastward to the imperial street, patrolling the road, as if they were exploring something.
Zhao Xu lifted the curtain and looked over.
He found that there were also craftsmen and officials in the crowd wearing public uniforms specializing in the manufacturing of military weapons bureaus.
Zhao Xu looked at it and gave an order to Yan Yuan, who had been riding a horse next to the imperial carriage: "Commander Yan, go and call Jia Zongmin."
"promise!"
A quarter of an hour later, Jia Zhongmin rode his horse to Zhao Xu's imperial carriage. After getting off the horse, he followed Yan Yuan and came to Zhao Xu's carriage, bowing and bowing four times.
"The Lord Chengyi, I gave him a gift to borrow a breeze and a silver fish bag. I knew that the officials of the Bianjing Street Department came to the imperial edict and wished His Majesty all his blessings."
Zhao Xu sat in the imperial carriage and did not go to see Jia Zhongmin. He just asked, "Jia Qing, are you exploring the track route?"
"Your Majesty is not inferior to the wise!" Jia Zhongmin replied outside the car.
“Can the line be surveyed?”
"I know that your Majesty has not yet been investigated and it will take several days to determine a road to the city."
"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded and said, "You must strengthen communication with Shen Qing in this matter."
"For technical matters, we must focus on Shen Qing's attitude, and listen to the opinions of craftsmen more. We must not act alone, and we must not make easy decisions based on our own likes and dislikes."
"The relevant progress must be reported to me."
As early as October last year, Zhao Xu asked Shen Kuo to start researching orbital transportation technology.
He also contacted the merchants who burned bricks, porcelain, and operating pile yards outside the city, and asked these people to pay to fund the research of the Specialized Manufacturing Military Equipment Bureau in this regard - who asked these guys to have this demand?
By the beginning of this year, Shen Kuo took out an experimental wooden transportation track and laid it in Qionglin Garden outside the city.
As a tool for transporting garbage and earthworks within Qionglinyuan, after trial, I learned experience and improved my technology after a period of trial.
Then, this track was laid in the stacking yards of the Bian River and Cai River.
As a result, it has received widespread praise and has also trained a team of skilled craftsmen and maintenance teams.
By last month, with the demolition of Jing'anfang coming to an end.
A large amount of construction waste needs to be transported out of the city.
At the same time, a large amount of building materials also need to be transported from outside the city to Bianjing.
So, Zhao Xu asked Shen Kuo to take the lead in studying and building a transportation track from Jing'anfang to brick kilns, tile factories and other workshops outside the city.
As for construction costs?
Half of the expenditures were from the project income of Bianjing Academy, and half were taken from Kaifeng Academy.
Of course, because it is the first time that a wooden transportation track with a length of tens of miles is built.
The progress of construction and the effect after implementation are still to be seen.
"No!" Jia Zhongmin did not expect that Zhao Xu would pay such high attention to this wooden track.
However, this also made him excited.
The government pays so much attention to it, as long as it is done well, it will be a great contribution!
Immediately, he patted his chest and promised: "I wish you a safe place."
"I am willing to issue a military order, and I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded.
Although Jia Zongmin was born in three generations of officials.
But he is a king of scrolls, and he is also a king of scrolls who understands technology and respects technology. In Zhao Xu's previous life, he presided over the reconstruction of Zhouqiao.
In order to repair the Zhouqiao, this important official who had been promoted to the waiting level at that time, but he asked many people for advice as a disciple.
These include Song Yongchen.
A civil servant, a sage, ask for advice from an internal minister.
This is a rare thing in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhao Xu was relieved that he came to supervise the construction. The reason why he specially called Jia Zhongmin over and gave him some advice was just to inject some chicken blood to make him more active in his work.
Anyway, I don't have money, right!
Sending away the excited Jia Zongmin, the imperial guard continued to set off on the road. With the help of the Yulong, he soon arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture.
Cai Jing, as usual, brought people to welcome him in front of Kaifeng Prefecture.
At the same time, the figure of Mr. Jin was also present in the crowd.
Zhao Xu saw the figure of Mr. Jin in the crowd from a distance through the curtain.
"This great monk is a tactful one." He whispered: "It is worthy of being a monk who can come from thousands of miles."
In this era, Buddhism has declined in India.
Brahmanism and the Great Food Church, which expanded rapidly in the Northern Tianzhu area, mixed doubles against Buddhism.
Therefore, General Jin was the last monk who walked out of India and came to the Song Dynasty to preach the Dharma and spread the Dharma.
After him, Tianzhu once again appeared in a world-class monk.
Therefore, Zhao Xu actually has great expectations for Mr. Jin.
It was precisely under this mentality that Zhao Xu used the means used by the Zhao official family against the military officials - PUA.
This is to determine his position and attitude.
Now it seems that Mr. Jin has passed the test.
