"Gang Rou, are you free in the afternoon?"
Zhang Jiuling came over and gave Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan an apologetic smile. Sorry to disturb you.
"Brother Jiuling, sit." Li Yi got up and pulled a chair.
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan were about to leave when Li Yi asked Zhang Jiuling, "Something important?"
"Li family's Miss and Xiao Lan, please sit. It's nothing important. The sky hasn't fallen yet."
Zhang Jiuling understood that Li Yi didn't want them to leave.
In front of Li Yi, other than the sky falling, what important matter could there be?
Xiao Lan quickly went to make tea and prepared to listen to the small matter.
Li Yi pushed a small plate of hazelnuts in front of Zhang Jiuling, "Brother Jiuling, use the tongs yourself."
As he spoke, he grabbed a little with each hand and patted each other. Some of the hazelnuts' shells were opened, and he patted the hazelnuts with his hands.
Zhang Jiuling had already picked up the tongs, but when he saw Li Yi's actions, he put down the tongs and patted the hazelnuts.
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just building a railroad. Long Ze is busy with other matters, so I came to ask."
Zhang Jiuling said that it was a small matter. It was just building a railroad along the Grand Canal.
Li Yi didn't eat the hazelnuts after patting them, but ate pine nuts instead, "There's no need to invest too much in the early stage. The railroad is not enough. When the second railroad from Haizhou to the capital is paved, it will be built along the canal.
Right now, it's mainly leveling the road, piling up sand and stones, and firing cement.
It's just right that the local people have less work in winter, and the imperial court has sufficient financial surplus.
Next year, the revenue will increase, especially in Henan, and benefits will be seen at the beginning of spring. "
He didn't ask Bi Goo what the matter was and asked Zhang Jiuling to come over. He said his arrangements.
"Sigh!" Zhang Jiuling sighed and smiled.
He came over to ask how the imperial court's finances would be supported, but Li Yi directly gave the answer, skipping the process of asking.
He picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, "There's a lot of fertile land along the river …"
"Exchange, exchange with other land of the government. If it's also fertile land, exchange it one for one. This kind of land, exchange, two for one, and so on.
If the people are willing to exchange, they will have priority when new species come out.. and buy seeds from them.....
Even if it's a rich and powerful family that owns land by the river, they still follow this law, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. "
Li Yi continued to answer. Isn't it just the land along the canal? Give them benefits.
As long as the land was changed, the commoners would accept it. It was an order from the imperial court, and they had no choice but to agree.
After giving them other benefits, the people happily gave up the land.
"Uh!" Zhang Jiuling pinched a hazelnut and ate it.
After eating a few, he said, "If the railway is completed, along the way …"
"Brother Jiuling, how about this? It just so happens that they won't be discussing Dao with me today. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I'll write a feasibility analysis report and a specific deployment plan. I'll write two sets of plans, each with its own emphasis.
Later on, I'll have to trouble Brother Jiuling and the other Chancellors to do an inspection. If there is a need, we can organize a meeting to discuss.
It involves the construction of bridges on both sides of the river, the extension of the main road, the construction of the commercial district, and the specific construction projects. "
Li Yi rushed to answer again. He knew what you wanted to ask.
I've already thought of everything that you can think of. I even know the problems that will arise and the solutions to them.
Zhang Jiuling was speechless.
Princess Yongmu rested her face on her hands and listened with a smile. Xiao Lan next to her began to pinch pine nuts for Li Yi.
"Gang Rou, why don't we go back and stop playing with them. We'll just ask them to hand over 50% of the taxes and the general property. If they don't hand it over … we'll kill them!"
Zhang Jiuling's attitude changed at this moment. Monks and Taoists? If they deserve to die, so be it! It's useless.
"No, no, no!" Li Yi shook his head vigorously. "I still want to take this opportunity to promote. We have to suppress them. The Buddhist Dao in the world is not only limited to the capital office and Henan."
"Political purposes?" Zhang Jiuling asked.
"Yes!" Li Yi nodded.
Princess Yongmu put down her hand. "After this, Li Lang will be the leader of all the sects of the Tang dynasty. No one can shake him."
"Yes!" Xiao Lan agreed. "When the time comes, our Li Lang will do whatever he says. The next step is to use the power of Buddhism and cooperate with the newspapers to suppress Confucianism.
In this world, there is only the Huaxia civilization and nothing else. The people of the Tang dynasty, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
When the order is given, thousands of troops move together. When the government is arranged, the people are of one mind. "
Zhang Jiuling raised his eyebrows. "So, next year's imperial examination will only be on the Analects of Confucius, and the year after that will not be on Confucianism?"
He thought it through. Next year's examination of the Analects of Confucius was to ease the offensive of public opinion this year and before. It looked like they were showing weakness to Confucianism.
However, once Buddhism was dealt with, they would be free to deal with Confucianism. Confucianism would no longer have the power to resist.
He stared at Li Yi. You've schemed so deeply?
Why do I feel that you've been scheming since you came to the Li Family Zhuangzi? Bit by bit.
It was said that when you were looking for a steward, you chatted with Song De. When you went to the village owner, you said that there was nothing wrong in Zhuangzi and gave him a lot of benefits.
As for finding students, only those who were too poor to survive were willing to follow you to Zhuangzi. You built houses for them.
At that time, you were too weak, so weak that no one cared.
You relied on scheming to get to where you are today, right?
Li Yi raised his hand and spread his fingers in front of Zhang Jiuling's eyes. "Brother Jiuling, are you nearsighted? Shall I do an optometry for you and get you a mirror? "
"I'm far-sighted!" Zhang Jiuling dodged backward.
"It's the same optometry. Don't worry." Li Yi withdrew his hand.
"Next year, will you take the Confucianism exam?" Zhang Jiuling asked again.
"Who knows? In this game, soldiers have no fixed momentum and water is impermanent. It all depends on the actual situation.
Some things in Confucianism are still very useful. They can't be defeated just because they are powerful.
Confucianism exists and has been integrated into the lives of the people of the Tang dynasty.
Useful beliefs can be left behind, but Confucianism's position can't be maintained. Use their merits and don't give them power. "
Li Yi couldn't give a definite answer. He walked step by step.
Zhang Jiuling drank the tea in one gulp. "Pack me some dried fruits. I'll take them back to eat."
"You can go back and ask someone to deliver them. I've given you a lot of things on a daily basis."
Li Yi didn't want to waste time. Every room on the yacht could call someone. If he wanted anything, he just had to say it and the little robot would deliver it.
Zhang Jiuling nodded and put them in his pocket. He grabbed five handfuls and felt that there was at least half a kilogram. The pocket of his clothes had obviously sunk.
He left. Li Yi got up and walked him to the door.
"I told him to deliver them, but he still put them in," Li Yi muttered.
"It feels different." Xiao Lan patted the small pocket of her jacket. Huala huala huala, there were dried fruits inside.
"That's right. I'll go write a report and plan for them. You two find a place to play." Li Yi turned and went back to his office.
On the other side, the remaining Buddhists in Henan Province gathered to discuss countermeasures. Most of them were Buddhists, while the Taoists were more interested in watching the fun.
Some of the abbot in the monastery were more active because it involved their personal interests.
The other Taoists wandered around like wild cranes. They just needed a place to stay.
The abbot in the Taoist monastery didn't look too good. They had to hand over half of their property or something of equivalent value.
The people in the monastery were also quite worried. They had to hand over what should be handed over. The key was how to do it in a dignified manner.
The monks were more sensible. At Li Yi's time, the country had developed well. The number of Taoist monasteries was far fewer than the buildings of other religions.
Basically, what they saw were Buddhists, Islan, Catholics, and Christians.
As for Taoist monasteries, there were too few in the north. There were some in the south, but there weren't many real Taoists who preached. They were all fake and commercialized.
At present, everyone had their own needs. They were discussing, but they didn't see anything small fall on the tree next to them.
