It is conceivable that Buddhism occupies a large proportion of the fortune in Xizhou.
"Your Majesty wants to choose Buddhism?"
Yan Shisanniang stared at Li Shouxi with her sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see through the young prince in front of her.
But Li Shouxi did not hesitate and shook his head and said:
"Buddhism is too greedy, and its desires are insatiable!
Moreover, the Buddhist sect will not support this king, and the same is true for the noble families. "
"Is this the reason why the prince is stationed in Liaodong?"
Li Shouxi's land tax shook the foundations of the aristocratic families and Buddhism. Unless Li Shouxi chose to protect their interests, it would be impossible for the two to choose Li Shouxi.
Li Shouxi understood this very clearly.
This is indeed another reason why he chose Liaodong.
Because there are no aristocratic families here, and no popular Buddhism, it is completely under his control. In addition, the people have a strong bloodline, and the military spirit can be used.
As long as the time is right, he can use Liaodong as his base and sweep across the world.
Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king!
This is the plan Li Shouxi made for himself.
After all, Liu Bang started the uprising when he was 48 years old, and he is only 21 years old now. Why is he in such a hurry?
"Buddhists do not engage in production, they own land and do not pay taxes, and aristocratic families occupy large amounts of fertile land and evade taxes. These are the two major cancers of Kyushu.
It can be said that both the Tang Dynasty and other dynasties wanted to eradicate it, but no dynasty did it.
It’s not that they don’t want to, but it’s the consequence of doing it?
Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Buddhism. After his death, the Wei Dynasty fell apart and the empire was divided into three parts: Northern Qi, Southern Qing, and Western Wei! "
Although on the surface, the division of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the separatist rule of several powerful officials.
But in fact, these powerful officials are supported by Buddhism, but ordinary people cannot see it.
After all, it is impossible for Buddhism to put itself in the open, and they have to package themselves as victims and gain a lot of benefits from it.
"Is Buddhism so terrible?"
"It's not that Buddhism is scary, but every powerful force is like this. The Divine Fire Sect is not much better than Buddhism, and the same is true for all the schools of thought!"
Li Shouxi directly denied the two major forces in front of him, which made Yan Shisan Niang and A Tuoya feel dissatisfied.
But Li Shouxi did not reason with the two women, which was a very stupid thing to do.
Instead, he took Zhao Linger and left Fanlou directly.
Fanlou was just a small episode tonight, and Atoya was just a dancer in Li Shouxi's heart.
Li Shouxi would not treat her differently because of her identity and background.
There is no way there can be any connection between him and the Divine Fire Sect!
As for cooperation? It's even more impossible!
Buddhism is already troublesome enough, and adding a religion of fire to the mix?
He had no intention of fighting poison with poison.
What's more, the Liaodong under his control was not only aimed at the infiltration of the aristocratic families, but also the major religions.
"Husband, weren't you moved just now?"
"Of course I am moved, but he is not as pretty as Ling'er!"
Li Shouxi did not lie about this.
Even though Atoya had perfect, three-dimensional facial features, in Li Shouxi's eyes they were not as pretty as Zhao Linger's.
One is a human elf with perfect facial features and exquisiteness; the other is a combination of beauty and temperament, like a fairy in a painting, otherworldly!
But there is another sentence behind it: beauty is nothing compared to sexiness!
"Really husband?"
"Ok!"
Zhao Linger was so moved that she snuggled in Li Shouxi's arms, her face full of happiness.
···
"My Lord, it's time to wash up!"
The next morning, when Li Shouxi just woke up, Mei Jian and others were already waiting by his bed.
At the same time, Zhao Linger was also awakened by Mei Jian's voice.
Zhao Linger was confused for a moment, then she reacted and buried her head in the quilt. She didn't expect that the four girls from Mei Jian saw her in such an embarrassed state.
But it was after a romantic date last night that Zhao Linger was deeply moved when she came back.
Thinking of the madness of last night, Zhao Linger's cheeks suddenly turned red.
She was totally different from herself last night.
"It's all your fault!"
"It's all Xiao Wang's fault. You're fine now. Rest for a while. Mei Jian, help Ling Er get up later."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After eating a mouthful of dog food, the four girls of Mei Jian couldn't help but look at Zhao Linger with envy.
After washing up, Li Shouxi came to the seven-story palace.
After one night, Li Shouxi realized that he was about to face new challenges. The aristocratic families and the Buddhist sect would not let go of the fat piece of meat in Liaodong.
Especially when there is no threat from the north.
In addition, what Li Shouxi values most is the advanced college that is about to open - Fengtian Academy!
This is the place Li Shouxi cultivated for himself!
Yes, it is to train talents for ourselves, not for the empire.
Because the talents cultivated by Fengtian Academy are not recognized by the empire at all, this is the power of the aristocratic families.
But for Li Shouxi, it didn’t matter whether the aristocratic family recognized him or not. The most important thing was their loyalty to him and whether they could be used by him.
This is also a preparation for improving the literacy rate in Liaodong.
Another task is for Li Shouxi to prepare to take charge of the official newspaper business!
The mission of the court newspaper is to help the people get rid of superstition and safeguard their rights.
Such as the land tax in Liaodong at that time, the Buddhists' lack of production, and the current situation in Kyushu.
Chapter 88: Fengtian Gazette: Liberating Knowledge
"Fengtian Dibao?"
Li Bi was summoned by Li Shouxi to his office area, and the plan of Fengtian Dibao was handed over to Li Bi.
Li Bi was a top student at the Jixia Academy and his ability was unquestionable.
Therefore, he was appointed as the editor-in-chief of Fengtian Dibao. In addition to the recognition of his ability, it was also because he had the dean behind him and did not have so many concerns.
To put it bluntly, he is a rookie who is easily fooled.
"Yes, I intend to publish a report every seven days and circulate it to all the villages in Liaodong.
The first issue of the newspaper can talk about the local tax policy of Liaodong, and comprehensively introduce the development strategy and future vision of Liaodong. In addition, in other areas, some common sense of life can be written, such as anti-superstition and anti-fraud routines, or some articles or some business information can be published...
The most important thing is that the Fengtian Gazette is mainly in vernacular Chinese!"
Li Bei looked at the plan in his hand and didn't expect Li Shouxi to be so ambitious.
Palace bulletin?
This is no small project. Even the Chang'an Dibao has to be presided over by the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, Li Shouxi wanted to rely on the power of the Prince of Yan's Mansion to purchase the Fengtian Gazette, which was definitely a huge investment and also demonstrated Li Shouxi's ambition!
If Li Shouxi's plan goes according to plan, the people in Liaodong will certainly stick together with the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and it will be extremely difficult for the aristocratic families and Buddhists to infiltrate. This is Li Shouxi's real purpose.
What is land tax?
At this time, the land tax in Liaodong could be said to be the most reasonable way of collecting taxes in the Tang Dynasty. Once it became popular, the impact on the aristocratic families and the Buddhist sects could be imagined.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Li Shouxi to spend a huge amount of money to purchase the Fengtian Gazette.
In particular, Li Shouxi could publicize his ideas to the public through official reports.
Just like a belief, once the idea spreads, it can naturally be used for one's own benefit.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Yan, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Li Bei also wanted to see how Li Shouxi controlled the people's hearts and what kind of character he had, so he took on the job of Fengtian Dibao.
Li Shouxi nodded when he heard this, and then arranged:
"Since Mr. Li has accepted the important task of publishing the official newspaper, the headquarters of the official newspaper will be set up on the fifth floor of the Seven-Story Palace Building, and the official newspaper printing will be placed in the West Mansion. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
"Great!"
Li Bi nodded. He didn't expect that Li Shouxi would place the headquarters of the court newspaper on the fifth floor of the palace. This was already an extremely high status.
Besides, with the headquarters here, the security of the newspaper goes without saying.
The palace guards of Prince Yan's Mansion include seven palaces, plus three thousand black-armored cavalry, which means more than ten thousand heavily armored soldiers. They are a force that cannot be ignored in the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention protecting the safety of the district newspaper.
“That’s good. In that case, I will now have the three major workshops start preparing the templates and characters for movable type printing.
As for the first issue of the newspaper?
I will give Mr. Li a month, and I have already thought of the topic, which is a detailed explanation of the land tax in Liaodong and the five-year plan for Liaodong in the future!"
"Li Bei will definitely live up to the prince's expectations!"
Li Bei did not expect Li Shouxi to be so efficient and wanted to publish the first issue of the court bulletin a month later.
But if the theme is clear, this is not a difficult task.
In particular, this topic seemed extremely appropriate to him, because this was the Fengtian Gazette, and naturally the first issue should introduce the policies of Liaodong.
As for the capabilities of the three major workshops, Li Bei had no doubts about them.
It is like a mythical existence in Liaodong. Even the colorful glazed lotus platform in the middle of Fan Tower can be customized, let alone a mere set of printing templates.
After making a plan, Li Bi went down to prepare because he needed to find like-minded people.
And the best choice is undoubtedly the students of the Jixia Academy!
Dozens of students from the Jixia Academy came this time, but not all of them were suitable for officialdom or teaching, so Li Bi planned to transfer these people here.
Especially for those who enter the officialdom, there is no place more central than the Prince of Yan's Palace.
Therefore, on the third day, Li Bi had already brought over seven classmates and started working on the fifth floor.
The official report is a big project and a big task for everyone.
Therefore, everyone was extremely serious, especially when it came to the writing, which had to be reviewed by Li Shouxi before any final decision could be made.
At the same time, the news that Prince Yan's Mansion had established a government bulletin also spread throughout Fengtian City.
Palace bulletin?
Many people did not understand it at first, but as the court reports became more popular, people gradually understood the role of the court reports.
This has filled many people with anticipation.
After all, due to the lack of entertainment in life, people are curious about many things, and this official newspaper may be a good tool to relieve boredom.
Especially "I care about everything, including family affairs, national affairs and world affairs", many people are also actively trying to understand current affairs.
This official newspaper is a good way.
