Chapter 290 One move followed by another move
Zhao Shou was so energetic that he heard it.
I thought to myself that Prince Yu was indeed smart, and I thought of a good idea as soon as I came here.
What the emperor was worried about was that the temples and Taoist temples united and mobilized believers to put pressure on them.
The trouble has caused people to be volatile in the world, and it will definitely be a harm to the majesty of the court and the emperor.
According to Prince Yu's clever plan, he can reward those temples and temples that do good deeds, punish those temples and temples that are stingy and bad, and can directly divide them so that they can't twist them into a rope, and of course there is no talk of resistance.
Emperor Jing He also showed a deep thoughtful look, "But how can we distinguish it? Some have a lot of money, some have a small amount of money; some have a day or two of porridge, some have a month or two... How to define these? If all the big temples that have a day of porridge can be pardoned, wouldn't it be unfair?"
"It's very simple." Liu Mingqi said: "Your Majesty, who is the most active disaster relief this time?"
"It should be Daxiangguo Temple? Laojun Temple is also good." Jinghedi said, "I heard from Gao Jing that they are still serving porridge now."
"Then take the two of them as an example, let the Ministry of Rites set a standard according to their number of people, the scale of the porridge and the number of times they donate." Liu Mingqi said: "The standards are divided into several levels. If you meet a certain standard, you can forgive some quotas. If you increase the standard, you can also forgive more quotas."
“This is pretty good.”
Emperor Jinghe nodded, "After distinguishing it, we can collect money from these temples and temples that are rich and unkind, and we can also be at ease."
He believes that Liu Mingqi's proposal is not a problem.
Not only can he collect money, but he also separates those kind people from the iron roosters, and takes them to the public and says nothing.
The common people can understand it as soon as they see the court's announcement, and they will also despise the iron roosters.
Isn’t this the most normal thing for good people to get good rewards, and bad people to get bad rewards?
Liu Mingqi's idea was to come one after another: "Your Majesty, how many temples and Taoist temples are there in our Dakang?"
Emperor Jing He replied: "The Ministry of Rites said it was about 10,000 or 20,000."
"There are so many temples, Taoist temples, and it is not good to have a one-size-fits-all approach." Liu Mingqi said: "You can also make another decree. If the total number of people in a Taoist temple is not more than twenty, then you can break out of this rule of forced return to secular life. If there is a shortage of personnel, the court will also help them make up for twenty people according to the rule of one person who died."
"It's amazing! It's amazing!"
The emperor's eyes lit up and he clapped and praised: "Mingqi, you are really smart and familiar with worldly human nature. The idea is so wonderful!"
He didn't expect just now that if it were a small hill or a small town temple, the incense would not be strong and the staff would not be large. If you ask them not to provide disaster relief, you would force them to return to secular life. This would be very likely to cause these temples and Taoist temples to go bankrupt.
Isn’t this a blessing to force the weak and powerless temples to collapse?
Now that this move is thrown out, it will immediately win countless praises, thus diluting the impact of issuing certificates at high prices.
Emperor Jing He smiled a lot more, "Now! As long as the existing problem of monks, nuns and Taoist priests can be solved, I am not very opposed to issuing a new certificate of vassal."
Whether it is prosperous or chaotic, temples and the secular world grab young labor force, which is very bad.
No emperor would object to the fact that he could suppress this by issuing certificates at high prices.
Besides, there are a lot of money to subsidize the treasury, and everyone is laughing from ear to ear!
Liu Mingqi also put forward an idea: "In addition to this, the Ministry of Rites will only issue 5,000 certificates per year in the next five years."
Jing Hedi was stunned: "Why is this?"
The boy explained patiently: "Too many things cannot be cherished. Only limited quantities can make people feel urgency and thus buy them, and the same is true for the certificate.
Think about it, there are 10,000 or 20,000 temples and Taoist temples in Dakang, and only 5,000 certificates are available every year. On average, two or three temples can only have one quota. How can they not panic?
Instead of competing with others for the share of the certificate in the next five years, it is better to buy more without purchasing restrictions this year, even if it is just stored, it is absolutely cost-effective!”
Emperor Jinghe and Zhao Shou were quite dumbfounded when they heard this.
But when I think about it seriously, if I were a monk, nun, and Taoist priest, I would definitely fall into his trap.
This is a conspiracy!
It's on the surface, but you have to jump in!
"Mingqi, if our Dakang Dynasty had a Ministry of Commerce, even if I broke Taizu's ban, I would like to let you serve as the Minister of Commerce!" Emperor Jinghe said with appreciation and gratitude, "How lucky I am, and how lucky the prince is!"
He thanked God for sending Liu Mingqi to his side, which was equivalent to sending a God of Wealth.
In the past, some people made money from the salt industry, and in the future, some people made money from the certificate of decree.
Liu Mingqi solved two things that could not be solved by civil and military officials in the court alone.
Especially the certificate of the sacrificial certificate involves income of tens of millions of taels of silver, and next year, the year after year and even from now on, millions of taels of silver will be recorded every year, which will solve the big problem in the future!
Speaking of the emptiness of the inner treasury, Jing Hedi is more worried and worried than anyone else.
He knows how much grain there is in the treasury, and he knows better how much grain there is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Originally, there would be no surplus in the Jingguo Treasury in the past year, and the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not used at all.
However, disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. Not only is the national treasury increasingly exhausted, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has consumed a lot of savings and has not had enough money and food in hand, so the emperor cannot feel at ease!
At this time, a backhand suddenly appeared to solve the problem and also opened up a royal family boy with a lot of wealth. Why do you think the emperor was unhappy?
Liu Mingqi is only sixteen years old, and she is eleven years younger than the prince. This means that the prince can rely on Liu Mingqi's intelligence and solve many problems all the time!
That's why the emperor added "How lucky the prince is."
"Mingqi, I don't know how to reward you with such a good suggestion." Emperor Jinghe suddenly felt a little embarrassed again, "I originally planned to add a salary to you during the Chinese New Year, but in this way, two or three payments are not enough for your contribution!"
Not to mention two or three copies, I can accept twenty or thirty copies safely.
The young man complained in his heart, but he still said very politely: "Your Majesty, you don't have to reward me too much at once. I am so young, what should I do when I grow up? Will it increase to a higher salary than the prince?"
The salary of the prince is ten times that of the prince.
Now Liu Mingqi has the third salary of the prince. If this continues, it is not impossible to increase the prince's "annual salary of 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 hu of rice".
Emperor Jinghe smiled and said, "Okay, I will reward you all. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, what else can he reward you? It is not enough to be granted a prince!"
Dakang's royal family was constantly demoted until the last viscount.
But this downgrade is not irreversible.
If you make any great achievements, you can give me a higher level of gift.
Usually, those who can get this honor are the sect’s official residence. After the gift is given, he can upgrade one of his sons’ vixen.
There are also some royal families who are very grateful for their work in the clan’s house, and they can also get gifts and upgrades.
Or there are also those who sacrificed huge amounts of property in the disaster year, which was approved by the emperor to upgrade.
What Emperor Jing He said now is obviously because he believes that Liu Mingqi has been promoted to Prince.
It's just a matter of timing.
Whether it is the gift from Emperor Jinghe or the gift from the crown prince after he ascended the throne depends on the specific situation.
After solving the major issue of the sacrificial certificate, the emperor was in a good mood, so Liu Mingqi took advantage of the situation and began to avenge his private revenge.
The young man asked honestly: "Your Majesty, can you please ask, who leaked the certificate?"
Jing Hedi turned his head, "What?"
"Think about it, if all the suggestions from Xiaochen and you are revealed by others in the future, will the Prime Ministers let me go? Will the Censor let me go? Will Lord Miao let me go? So we must find out the traitor!"
The emperor was amused and laughed for a moment, "You! What kind of traitor? Don't think so seriously... Well, I was accidentally this time, and I won't know how to do it next time."
Liu Mingqi refused to give in: "Are you sure that that person will not leak the next time?"
"He doesn't know how to do bran porridge..."
Emperor Jing He's words stopped abruptly and immediately showed a look of embarrassment.
He also had no experience, so he got stuck.
The key is how many people can use tricks on him?
The emperor has no need to hide!
Liu Mingqi suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Lord Miao! Your Majesty, you have to criticize him well! Think about it, in this case, he actually dared to fan the flames behind his back, but he became a turtle with a crunch and his conscience was very bad!
And Xiaochen dares to guarantee that these people come to ask you to implement the certificate of vassals. The benefits will definitely be the ones that Lord Miao will have! He can get all the benefits, but your Majesty, you and Xiaochen have become exploited people. Can you understand this?"
Emperor Jing He's eyes turned and he thought about the truth in Liu Mingqi's words.
Zhao Shou was thrusting behind his back.
How could Prince Yu not know it was Miao Yan?
Our family told him a long time ago!
As a result, he turned around and gave Miao Yan eye drops. This kind of revenge is really amazing!
Zhao Shou thought that Liu Mingqi was revenge for the case of "Xiqiu Village".
It happened that Emperor Jing He thought about it for a long time and felt that it was the case.
He thought that he could not indulge the child in a mess, so he waved his hand: "You go back first! I have my own arrangements for this matter! By the way, remember to prepare more fat pigs and don't let the imperial chefs have no fat pigs available!"
"Abide by the order!"
Liu Mingqi had no choice but to bow and retreat.
This emperor is unbearable!
After using me, I kicked me away!
