Fang Taozheng looked at the stone tablet and pedestal and reached into his pocket. "Master, how much is it?"
Zheng Shenlin glanced at him. "How much did you think about when you brought the dog to save people?"
"How can I ask for money? It has nothing to do with money. "
Fang Taozheng was embarrassed and withdrew his hand. He understood that they didn't want money.
"Li Lang, where is the tablet?" Princess Yongmu asked.
"Why don't we put it in the battlefield?" Ma Jien suggested.
"If it stands there, how can pregnant women and children live? Should we salute every time we pass by? "Li Yi asked.
Everyone was stunned and nodded. It was indeed not suitable!
"Put it next to the Cemetery of Martyrs. Let the hunters hold crossbows." Li Longji decided.
The palace maids and eunuchs began to take notes and list them out.
"The dog of the Shi Family Village saved the people. In the mouth of a mad dog, they should also hold crossbows," Li Yi said.
"Okay!" Li Longji paused for a moment before agreeing.
He knew that it had nothing to do with saving people. Hu Feng's senior brother led a group of people and had countless good dogs.
He also had to set rules for the hunters in Luoyang. Without a crossbow permit, people would think too much.
The village was trustworthy. The villagers had children who came here to receive education in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Ma Jien and Fang Taozheng looked at each other and understood Li Dongzhu's position in the Tang dynasty again.
In front of the emperor, he didn't call him 'Your Majesty' and called him 'Third Brother'.
Just like the legends, the two maintained a special relationship. When others called him 'Your Majesty', they would automatically ignore it.
"Let's go eat. The dogs have an extra meal today."
Li Yi saw White Hair and looked at the stone tablet. He called out and went to see the dogs with Li Longji and the others.
Other than the little puppies, the dogs usually ate two meals a day.
Today was a happy day, so there was a little dog food. There was no milk, unless the dog was obviously deficient in calcium.
There were more than a thousand dogs. It wasn't that a group of dogs would crazily fight over dog food. At most, the dogs wouldn't dare to eat without an order.
The Li Family Zhuangzi's dogs were like military dogs. The dogs picked up their own bowls and lined up.
Rows and rows of dogs found their own places. It was a spectacular sight.
Someone pushed a cart to put food in the dog's bowl. The dog sat there and looked at the food, but did not eat. It waited for the order to allow it to eat.
White Hair went in. Several times, it wanted to bite first, but when it looked at the other dogs, it wisely held back.
Fang Taozheng was dumbfounded. He felt that if these dogs were to enter the mountains …
Dogs were eating happily, but some people were not.
Rumor has it that the Dongzhu Li Yi of the Baishui Li Family Zhuangzi in Chang 'an has found a place to promote Taoism and Buddhism.
The place they were looking for was in a mountain ravine, north of Luoyang Palace, south of the Yellow River.
The news had yet to reach Mount Song, but it had already spread through Luoyang Palace. Some of the squares in Luoyang Palace had temples and some had Taoist temples.
At the same time, there was another more specific rumor. Li Yi wanted to collect a 50% tax. He felt that the temples and Taoist temples did not have that much money.
If they moved to a new location and collected the money, they would not have to pay the tax for the next fifty years.
The monks and Daoists in Luoyang Palace rushed to spread the news. The people who came from Mount Song to find Bi Goo quickly sent people back.
The monks and Daoists were smart. They did not believe that it was a rumor. Who would dare to brazenly spread rumors about Li Yi in Luoyang Palace?
The people who were captured that night had yet to return. The entire Luoyang Palace was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
There was no theft or refusal to pay without food, much less kidnapping and selling children and women.
It was now a period of strict crackdown. There was a red line. Whoever touched it would die.
When they thought of the matter of Bi Goo not collecting a tenth of the taxes from the temples and Taoist temples, they instantly entered a state of epiphany.
Bi Goo said a tenth of the taxes, but we did not agree. Li Yi wanted a tenth of the taxes.
Pay the money or move to a large ravine. Choose one of the two.
A group of monks and Daoists gathered to discuss a solution. They were not in the mood to eat lunch. They were more awake when they were hungry.
"Why don't we take over Grief Tian Square again?" The monk in charge of Yu Cai Square's Da Yun Temple spoke first.
Some of the bigger temples had abbot inside. The abbot of the smaller temples did not enter.
Just like Taoist temples, there were Taoist masters in the bigger temples while the smaller ones only had abbot.
The abbot and Taoist masters did not participate. They were revered, so they hid at the back.
The abbot of Da Yun Temple was smart. If we pay less, how can the daily expenses of Grief Tian Square compare to the 50% tax?
Managing Grief Tian Square would give us a good reputation.
"I'm afraid that won't work. Grief Tian Square is managed by the Tang dynasty's Chao Tianxia Fund. The saints are respected."
The abbot of Jingyun Temple in Cultivation Square shook his head, indicating that it was impossible. Why would the saints not want a good reputation?
"Maybe we can ask Gong Fang to help us and talk to the students and officials coming and going."
The abbot of Huayan Temple in Jingxing Square thought of an idea. He wanted to use the women in Si Gong Fang to save the country.
With so many people talking at the same time, Li Yi would not be able to bear the public opinion.
Even if Li Yi was not afraid, how could His Majesty and the chancellors ignore it?
The abbot of Xuanjiao Square looked at him and said, "Why do you want to drag the women of Red Dust in Si Gong Fang into the discussion in your temple?"
He looked down on the other party. If you can't do it, you can find a woman to help you. Would the women in Si Gong Fang dare?
"Find Lay Buddhist Bi Goo again?" The abbot of Heavenly Palace Temple on the south side of Tianjin Bridge thought of Bi Goo again.
"If that's the case, it won't be 50% tax. Li Yi must know that the tax increase is for Lay Buddhist Bi."
The abbot of Tai Wei Palace in Jieshan Square narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone knows what's going on. You still want to find trouble for yourself?
Wouldn't it be better if you agreed to the 10% tax? Why do you have to find Bi Goo? "
Bi Goo was in charge of the money bag of the Tang dynasty. Even Li Yi was under his control all day long. How could he let go of the temple?
Do you think that if he asked Li Yi for money, Li Yi would laugh at him?
The money was not obtained by Bi Goo. Li Yi was the person behind the finance of the Tang dynasty.
"Friends, don't be like this. The current plan is to only care about Li Yi. Why don't we invite him to talk about Dao?"
The abbot of Taiyuan Temple in Jieshan Square was afraid that everyone would quarrel. Now they should unite against the outside world and not fight among themselves.
Why don't we call Li Yi over and let everyone talk about Buddhist scriptures and Daoist scriptures? We can suppress Li Yi and let him know how powerful we are.
Isn't it rumored that he knows everything? Let's see if he can do it.
We have so many branches. Even if he is really a reincarnated person, how many can he master?
"Good!" The abbot of Dao Chong Temple in Suifu Square waved his horsetail whisk to show his approval.
Yes, bring Li Yi over so that he can understand the mystery of Dao and the wonders of Buddhism.
The others did not have any other good ideas and could only choose this plan. They all agreed.
After the matter was settled, the Daoists decided to have lunch. It was just past noon and they were hungry.
The monks were in a dilemma. They said that they would not eat after noon. Should they eat? They did not eat much in the morning. They had something on their minds.
Everyone went back to their own places. Some places were quite far away. It was better to go back and eat. They would panic if they were hungry.
Li Yi was eating. Even the dog had an extra meal. How could he lack the money for food?
A call came. There was a spy among the group of abbot. When he heard the news, he quickly reported it.
Xun Xin came and said it. After that, he left and found a place to eat.
"Brother Yi … you …" Li Longji knew the situation and asked Li Yi if he was going.
