251 The Silent Tang Monk

Li Yuanxing did not comprehensively belittle Buddhism, because he was not a common man. If his heart was not broad enough, then looking at the world, Li Yuanxing would only have enemies in his eyes.

Seek common ground while reserving minor differences!

At night, this was the first brightly lit night in Qinwangzhuang. Taiyuan Wang, who entered Qinwangzhuang last, seemed to intentionally distance the team. When the first carriage entered Qinwangzhuang, the last carriage was still in business.

On Guild Street, gongs and drummers beat tirelessly.

There is an emerging profession.

Many people are not knowledgeable enough to enter the officialdom, but there are still some people who are truly talented and knowledgeable and have found a job that pays well.

Chang'an News, Wenwen Tianxia. The name is very nice. In fact, it is a reporter from later generations. There are at least ten such Wenwentianxia recording the wedding ceremony of King Qin and the luxurious motorcade that shocked the world. This

I'm afraid it's a dowry that has never been done before and will never come after.

Every family has at least one gift that can surprise everyone in the world.

The natural dog-head golden mountain of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the half-foot-long blood coral of the Cui family of Qinghe, the ten thousand wolf tooth sculptures of the Li family of Longxi, the rare jade Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest of the Zheng family of Rongyang, the ninety-nine egg-sized luminous pearls of the Li family of Zhaojun,

A rubbing of "Nanhua Zhenjing" written by the Boling Cui family's Nanhua Zhenren, and a "Changfeng Tie" written by Wang Xizhi of the Lu family in Fan Yang.

Any one of these seven gifts can be considered priceless.

Although the "Nan Hua Zhen Jing" is a rubbing, it is not an ordinary rubbing. The real Nan Hua is Zhuangzi. The original "Nan Hua Zhen Jing" was carved on bamboo slips. Over time, the bamboo slips rotted. The wonderful virtues of the Eastern Han Dynasty

It took Zhenjun Zhang Heng several years to complete the rubbings.

This can be regarded as the most precious treasure of Taoism.

And that "Changfeng Tie" can be said to be the pinnacle of calligraphy, and it has not been circulated at all in later generations. The only one that can be checked in modern times is a copy by Zhu Suiliang of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing was sitting in the study looking at the gift list, but he was thinking about what the cabinet master would think after seeing this gift list.

Li Yuanxing looked at the gift list alone and was secretly happy.

At this moment, Wu Zhao ran in quickly, grabbed a gift list and opened it: "Ah! "Changfeng Tie" Wu Zhao screamed and jumped up excitedly!"

"Ahem! These belong to me!" Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to grab the gift list, but Wu Zhao quickly hugged the other books in his arms, and then quickly stepped back: "Don't come over, come over again.

Just shout indecent assault!”

"Hahaha!" Li Yuanxing laughed.

Wu Zhao pouted: "It's so boring, these are not mine!"

"Can it be eaten?" Li Yuanxing picked up Wu Zhao and put it on the table: "Help me think about it, I want to build a thirty-foot-high tower!"

"You're dreaming!" Wu Zhao directly gave him a basin of cold water.

Li Yuanxing did not understand: "Thirty feet, in modern times it is more than ninety meters. Even a hundred-meter-high building should not be a particularly difficult project. Besides, I am the king of the Tang and Qin Dynasties, and the resources that can be mobilized should be a hundred times stronger than those of later real estate companies.

Bar!"

"So what if it's ten thousand times stronger?" Wu Zhao continued to retort.

"Why don't you think it's possible?" Li Yuanxing's original enthusiasm disappeared and he calmed down.

Wu Zhao took out a piece of paper from Li Yuanxing's desk: "I'll give you a calculation. Let's talk about the 100-meter-high building in later generations. Calculated based on 1,000 square meters above ground, in addition to piling, the underground part will need at least about 10 meters. This part alone

, which requires about 5,000 tons of cement. Of course, I am not a student of architecture, so I only know a rough idea!"

Five thousand tons of cement already scared Li Yuanxing.

Wu Zhao said again: "Next, steel bars." After mentioning steel bars, Wu Zhao smiled, and smiled mischievously.

Steel bars are not ordinary iron bars. Li Yuanxing's heart sank to the bottom.

"The steel bars are at least 700 tons. This is just the foundation. If the weight of Datang is replaced, it would be 1.4 million kilograms of steel. For the main part, the amount for every six floors is almost the same. In other words, thirty floors

, how much do you need."

Li Yuanxing didn't know whether Wu Zhao's calculations were accurate.

Wu Zhao didn't know it herself, but she calculated the building standards for Li Yuanxing from later generations, which were 70 kilograms per square meter for the foundation and 30 kilograms per square meter for the building. One thousand square meters was used as the benchmark for the single-story area.

How many will it really be? Because neither of them has a background in architecture, it is naturally impossible to calculate it in detail.

But one thing is very clear to both of them. Not to mention cement, the consumption of steel bars alone is an astronomical figure for Datang. But Li Yuanxing does not want to give up: "Is there any way, I need such a building!"

"Let me choose a gift, and I have a very clever way!"

When Li Yuanxing heard this, he was ready to spank Wu Zhao when he mentioned it. Wu Zhao cried: "You are too cruel. Even a slave can't have no human rights like this. I worked hard to create..." Wu Zhao didn't say anything.

After that, Li Yuanxing relented: "Okay, apart from the seven officiants, you can choose one of the others, but you have to wait until after the New Year!"

"Okay!" Wu Zhao smiled immediately.

Li Yuanxing really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed and said: "I want to build a pagoda in the current Daci'en Temple, and it will be a monument to our future generations!"

"Let me think about it! I'm here to tell you that you should be more cruel to Bald Donkey!"

Li Yuanxing nodded, Wu Zhao also nodded, and then left Li Yuanxing's study.

At the same time, many people gathered in front of Da Ci'en Temple in Chang'an. Today, because of King Qin's wedding ceremony, Chang'an City canceled the curfew. Many people watching the excitement returned to Chang'an City and suddenly found that Ci'en Temple was closed.

A huge sign was erected in front of the door with evidence of guilt written on it!

In the past, the Daci'en Temple was in violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. This alone was enough to kill people and close down the temple.

It has to be said that the literati are terrible. Wei Zheng actually listed ten major crimes and thirty minor crimes in Daci'en Temple. For example, those who had fled into the temple because of committing serious crimes were also found one by one.

In short, if the temple needs to be closed, the charges will be sufficient.

Not to mention that Li Yuanxing had already given the main crime. Even if Li Yuanxing had not given any crime, just by saying "destroy the temple", people like Wei Zheng would be able to find enough crimes to rationalize the destruction of the temple.

Excessive concentration of power is a wrong thing in itself, but without a high degree of concentration of power in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was difficult to do anything.

The people watching pointed and discussed the matter of the Great Ci'en Temple, but more people hurried home. It was better to stay away from such a case involving the serious crime of disobedience.

Across the street, Xuanzang looked at the main entrance of the Great Ci'en Temple from a distance and silently recited a Buddha's name.

Early the next morning, the sales volume of Chang'an News surpassed that of Datang News for the first time.

Just because the headline of the Chang'an New Newspaper actually included the sentence "The Yin Monk was punished", this sentence can arouse the interest of countless people. The Tang Dynasty originally had very little entertainment, and it was rare to have some tidbits, so the number of readers naturally increased greatly.

Li Yuanxing was eating breakfast with Datang News and Chang'an News in his hands.

"There are still six days!" Li Yuanxing sighed softly.

In six days, only six days, His Highness the King of Qin would officially get married.

"Report!" Bai Erwa rushed in and said hurriedly without waiting for Li Yuanxing to look at him: "Your Highness, Chang'an County Magistrate Du Zichun sent people on flying horses to report that as soon as the Yamen gate opened in the early morning, several temples in Chang'an County were actually outside their doors.

There was a long queue, and they were holding money, food, brocade and silk, saying they were here to pay the food tax!"

After hearing this, Li Yuanxing disappeared, indifferent, and slowly picked up a piece of side dish and put it in his mouth.

"Your Highness!" Bai Erwa was about to speak again, but Wu Zhao hit him on the head with a small bamboo board: "Silly man, you are so good at this, and you panicked over a trivial matter as big as a toothpick, and spread it out. This is

It’s a disgrace to Prince Qin’s palace!”

"Er baby knows his mistake!"

"Actually, it's really not a big deal. You send people out and ask the states and counties to record the taxes paid by each temple in detail, and then send the figures to General Qin. They pay their taxes, and we will handle our affairs. We should prepare

Yes, of course we have to prepare in secret and don't mess up the rules!" Li Yuanxing said calmly.

"Yes!" Bai Erwa quickly stepped back.

Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "Bai Erwa is a good chopper, but it's a pity that he can only pass orders!"

"How about changing to someone else?" Wu Zhao asked.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Erwa is loyal, so there is no need to replace him. Find him a deputy, a civilian deputy. As time goes by, Erwa will learn something, and people will always make progress. And he is only eighteen years old.

It’s also very malleable!”

Li Yuanxing picked up the porridge bowl and was about to drink it when Bai Erwa came in again.

"Tell me, is this a big or small matter in your mind?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"It's a big deal. Before dawn, a bald donkey was sitting at the door of Qin Wangzhuang, chanting sutras. Originally it was a small matter, but the gatekeeper just came to report that there were more than a hundred bald donkeys sitting at the door chanting sutras. And we

They are all outside the cordon of our Zhuangzi, so there is no reason for the guards to chase them away. His Highness has said that our Qinwangzhuang must convince people with reason!"

After Bai Erwa finished speaking, she looked nervously at Li Yuanxing's expression. Bai Erwa was very concerned about whether her judgment was consistent with His Highness King Qin's. If there was a difference, how much was the difference?

"It's a big deal, and it's also a troublesome matter. Since I'm getting married, the bald donkeys obviously want to embarrass me. This is cold violence!" Li Yuanxing put down his chopsticks, but he didn't expect the monks to be so difficult. For a moment, they wanted to embarrass me.

I haven't thought of any better way to deal with it.

"Send someone to sneak in and find an opportunity to fight!" Bai Erwa used his wisdom to come up with an idea.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Good idea, but it's a pity that this idea cannot be used today. If they sit here for two or three days, it can be used. Send someone to keep an eye on them first, and report to the king if there are any changes. Remember, Qin Wangzhuang treats them as

Doesn’t exist.”

Bai Erwa went out to deliver orders again.

Li Yuanxing patted his face gently a few times, and Wu Zhao whispered: "Actually, you have a way!"

"No, silly girl, some methods cannot be used lightly. And to deal with these bald donkeys, it is not worth using a big killing move!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
