After giving the order, Liu Yu announced that he would withdraw from court.
He was too lazy to waste time with those abbots. After talking for a long time, at a critical moment, he began to talk about useless things.
Otherwise, what was the use of chanting the Buddha's name there?
Since the few of them were not tactful, they could not blame him.
The establishment of the Religious Administrative Bureau was very fast. It was completed in the afternoon of the same day, and the next day, it was divided into two groups.
A group of people went to Suzhou Prefecture and followed the army. They brought Liu Yu's imperial edict to calm the storm over there.
Another group of people directly inspected and assessed the various temples around Beijing.
There were no murderers in the temples around Beijing, but there were many problems.
The temple was overpopulated, and many of them were external personnel without discs.
At the same time, the temples had a lot of money. The temple with the most incense money was as much as 3.72 million taels, and even the smallest had hundreds of thousands of taels.
The Religious Affairs Bureau took the money directly.
He had already become a monk, so why did he need money?
In the future, the Religious Affairs Bureau would pay for the repairs of the temple, the addition of Buddha statues, and the replenishment of incense and Buddhist scriptures.
As long as you are a monk, you don't have to worry about anything. You just have to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha in the temple. You won't be short of your monk robe or food. However, you don't have to worry about the incense money in the future.
In the future, the incense money would be collected by the Religious Affairs Bureau. It would be used specifically to support monks and repair temples.
Of course, it would not be easy to become a monk in the future.
Before becoming a monk, one had to go to the Religious Affairs Bureau to take an examination. At the very least, one had to be able to memorize a scripture. Otherwise, they would go back to where they came from.
As for the Suzhou government, all the people involved would be confiscated.
Not to mention that those commoners were innocent, if they didn't confiscate their houses this time, someone would dare to go even further next time.
As the saying goes, a pitiful person must have something hateful.
This sentence was referring to these commoners. The imperial court would give them land, exempt them from corvee, and think of ways to let them live well.
In the end, for the sake of a monk, you surrounded the government. This is to let you eat your fill, right?
If the problem of religion was not strictly managed, the disaster it would cause would be comparable to the invasion of foreign races.
Next, the Religious Affairs Bureau inspected all the temples in the country. All the criminals in the past were arrested and all the incense money was taken away. Therefore, the monks were assessed.
The Religious Administration also gave preferential treatment to those monks who were truly capable, devoted to good, and practiced ascetic rest.
At the very least, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. As long as you recite scriptures in the temple obediently, no one will disturb you.
After this wave of cleansing, all the fake monks of the Buddhist League in the world had been cleaned up.
There were more than 3.7 million fake monks who had committed crimes in the past, killed people, became bandits, and finally hid in the temple.
When many people were arrested, they said that they had already put down their butcher knives.
For these people, Liu Yu's method was to send them to meet Buddha.
It was up to the Buddha to forgive them or not.
What he needed to do was to send them to meet Buddha.
Apart from Buddhism, the Taoists also needed to be cleaned up.
Although it was not as serious as Buddhism, Taoism was not that clean internally.
Now that the religious issue was settled, the Kong family was next.
This time, Liu Yu didn't even make a move. Chen Miao followed Liu Yu's method of dealing with the religions and directly targeted the Kong family.
Did the Kong family produce saints for generations?
How was that possible?
Not to mention saints, the Kong family had hooligans for generations.
This was because they had an awesome ancestor who was born in the Kong family and did not have to worry about food and drink.
Such a family had been passed down from generation to generation. The saint's spirit had long been corroded.
In history, when the Manchurian Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Kong family was still Duke Yan Sheng. However, a piece of hair was missing from the top of his head, and there was an additional braid at the back.
How could the Kong family forget the words of the sage?
Although they were from the Confucius Clan, they were no different from the scholars of the Donglin Party.
If he wanted to collect the Kong family's black materials, it would be impossible to not have too much.
Everyone was equal before the laws of the Great Han Dynasty.
If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. If your Kong family breaks the law, you can arrest them for anything.
With this grab, the Kong family was directly uprooted.
There was no other way. Everyone in the Kong family had problems. How could they not arrest him?
Moreover, the evidence was clearly there. Even if someone wanted to refute it, they would not be able to hold their ground.
Moreover, how could the people of this era play with a fishing wheel better than Liu Yu?
The Dahan Weekly had completely taken control of the fishing vessel, and it even held the moral high ground when it came to capturing the Kong family.
"Seventy-three million taels of silver and eight hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold.”
When the dust settled, Liu Yu became even fatter.
The temple had money, and the Kong family had books.
Regardless of what the Kong family was like, the Kong family really had a lot of books. Some of them were even unique.
Money could be earned in the future, but these books were the real wealth.
Liu Yu gave the order to build a library to keep all these rare books.
He had to make a copy of all the books to ensure that they would not be lost.
