As an old man who was over ninety years old, even death could not move him.
After so many years, he had even forgotten why he had entered Taoism.
However, he had never forgotten his Dao.
Cure the sick and save lives.
He had spent his entire life to persevere on something that seemed simple.
If there was really something he could not let go of, it would probably be his medical skills.
Even if he was used to seeing life and death, he would still be moved when his patients faced death.
In his lifetime of studying medicine, he had witnessed the loss of too many things.
Perhaps it was because of war or natural disasters…
He did not want his medical skills to be lost.
Su Li looked at the visibly moved Sun Simiao in front of him and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"At that time, I will submit a letter to His Majesty and His Majesty will preside over the compilation!”
Sun Simiao's eyes narrowed for a moment before returning to normal.
Li Er, although he was forced into the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, although there were many people who didn't hang him.
But he was still the Emperor of the Great Tang!
A book compiled by the ruler of a country would definitely not be lost.
Sun Simiao had no reason not to be moved. The only thing was whether Li Er would agree to be the editor.
The answer was yes.
Su Li was basically certain that Li Er would agree to preside over the compilation.
Li Er was a person who liked to be extravagant. This was not difficult to see in history.
He liked to hear others praise him and often boasted about himself. When he had nothing to do, he would even praise his son and daughter to his ministers.
These were all recorded in history.
This was because Songzan Gambo would flatter Li Er and send Princess Wencheng into Tibet with the most advanced craftsmanship of the Central Plains, allowing Tibet to develop rapidly.
A group of small countries around him had acknowledged him as the Heavenly Khan. He was happy and rewarded them one by one. Not only did he give money to food, but he also gave money to the craftsmen.
And the status of Taoism was low?
It wasn't low!
Among religions, Taoism was undoubtedly a giant, and it was a crushing stance.
Of course, this was before Buddhism came.
After the arrival of Buddhism, the ideas that originated from Buddhism were in line with some of the dark ideas of the rulers and were able to take root and sprout in China.
In addition, the Daoists did not do anything. As a result, Buddhism and Taoism were on equal footing.
Supporting Daoism was something Su Li had to do. The best way to suppress Buddhism was to make Daoism stronger.
Religion was indispensable to a country.
And without a doubt, Su Li preferred Taoism.
The real killer move was still the tax exemption.
A group of monks who relied on begging for money to make a living. To put it nicely, they were called incense money and begging.
Although there were good people in the monk community, they were definitely not good people. Moreover, there was a high chance that they would be bad people.
Why did the famous Three Martial Arts Buddha Annihilation appear?
This was because Buddhism controlled a large amount of property and labor.
There were naturally no lack of crafty villains in Taoism, but why didn't the Three Martial Arts Annihilation Dao appear?
That was because that group of foolish Taoist priests only knew how to cultivate every day. Their eyes were filled with cultivation…
Of course, this was just a joke. Taoism had far more rules than Buddhism, and the entry process was also far more than Buddhism. The level of cultural penetration was also far higher than Buddhism, which was why there was such a sharp contrast.
As long as Li Er was determined to be tax-free, the monk would definitely jump out.
Of course, it didn't matter if the monk didn't jump out. After the integration of Taoism, it occupied the right time and place. Wouldn't it be nonsense if it couldn't defeat an external religion?
Moreover, in Su Li's plan, the second tax exemption should be jointly proposed by the Daoists.
This way, he could shut Li Er up.
Of course, it was also a trap for some monks.
If he jumped in, he would be doomed.
The Taoist priest took the initiative to pay taxes, but you resisted because you didn't exempt taxes. Wouldn't it be obvious who was better?
So what if the monk took the initiative to pay taxes?
There were many dirty monks under him, and there were many ways to crack down on Buddhism.
Of course, the most important thing was that Li Er was willing to stand on the side of Taoism.
There was no reason for Li Er not to stand beside the Taoists. After all, Li Er shamelessly found his father to be his ancestor.
Why didn't you help a sect that originated from your ancestors? Why did you help a foreign sect? Wasn't this nonsense?
It could be said that, in a certain sense. Li Er was a natural ally of Taoism. It was up to Taoism to seize this opportunity.
Sun Simiao was very tempted, even though he knew that Su Li still had some goals and plans that he had not said.
But to be able to write a book and pass down his medical skills, Sun Simiao still couldn't resist the temptation.
"Allow this old man to think about it again. Allow me to consider…"
