Chapter 890 A few days of settling

Because the letter was not put into the envelope, it meant that Zhang Jiuli could also read the letter. He had been with Li Xiang for a long time, so he naturally knew the rules around Li Xiang, so Zhang Jiuli opened the letter and read it.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Jiuli wouldn't have believed that this letter was dictated by Li Xiang. The attitude in it was so low that he almost regarded Master Jinghong as his master. Even if it was a memorial to the emperor, I'm afraid none of them have such humility.

"Your Highness, I think what I did yesterday is good enough. Why don't you wait a few days? If we keep doing this, someone will definitely see some clues, and it will not be beautiful by then."

Zhang Jiuli has been with Li Xiang for a long time, and he is no longer submissive at the beginning. If he has worries in his heart, he will express them directly. This is what Li Xiang has been pursuing. Three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang. It’s best if the people around you talk more.

"Under normal circumstances, what you said is right. We should have settled down for a few days. But you didn't see General Su clearly seeing the situation yesterday. People in this country are in a state of illness. Their worship of Buddha is not We can imagine, so if we use our efforts in this area, they will not have any doubts, they will only feel that they have found a like-minded person, a capable like-minded person."

Li Xiang said with a smile. Zhang Jiuli looked at Su Dingfang next to him with some doubts. Su Dingfang also nodded affirmatively. Judging from the expressions on the faces of those people yesterday, they were definitely in a state of illness and were already very sick. Now that I know how to proceed, my mind is filled with those Buddhist teachings.

"Your Highness, did you give them too much money? Yesterday I just gave you 5,000 taels of gold and asked them to paint that golden dome. Today it is another 20,000 taels of gold. We are indeed not short of money, but we can't do this. Spend money?"

Su Dingfang took a look at his big head. He was too lazy to care about other things, but it was not enough to spend money like water. We had only been in Nanzhao for a few days, and we had already spent 70,000 yuan. Okay, let alone this money in a place like this, even in Chang'an City, this is a lot of money.

"Don't be so short-sighted. All my money is useful. I personally gave Tianlong Temple five thousand taels of gold. So this money is not enough for them to paint the golden dome. Then will other officials watch it? All places Will all the local tycoons watch? They will also continue to pay Tianlong Temple. As long as this money enters the temple, there is basically no flow. "

After Li Xiang finished speaking, Su Dingfang and Zhang Jiuli's eyes lit up. Both of them were relatively smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning of these words.

If this money is thrown into society, economic flow will definitely occur. Although the amount of money is not large, if the economy flows, the development and stimulation of the economy will definitely be obvious, but all this money will be needed. Turned into gold powder and then painted on the top of the temple, this means that the money can only be bathed in the sun on the top, so that all believers can be psychologically satisfied.

Li Xiang threw out five thousand taels of gold, and other officials threw out more. This was equivalent to throwing out a bait to lure others to jump into the pit together. Nanzhao was a small country and the people were weak, so they competed for the first place. When you jump inside, it means that the temple's economic share is getting bigger and bigger.

Besides, the 20,000 yuan that will be taken out later sounds like a lot, but according to the standards of temples in Nanzhao Kingdom, this money will not be able to build a few temples. When the time comes, we will have to count on donations from all over the world, from rich people to farmers. , I’m afraid none of them can escape. When there are many temples in Nanzhao Kingdom, the entire country’s money will know where it has gone. It is also a big pit.

"Your Highness is wise."

After the two people figured out this trick, they both gave a thumbs up in their hearts. Li Xiang was an absolute king on the battlefield. At least in these years, they had not seen a country that could stop Li Xiang's progress.

But I didn’t expect him to be so ruthless in private. He just spent some money. In addition to yesterday’s performance, there will definitely be officials, big and small, rushing to imitate them. These people are also the richest in Nanzhao. They have all the money. After investing in the temple, they will continue to enjoy a luxurious life, but at that time they have no money, how should they enjoy their life?

At that time, things like exploiting the common people appeared. If one or two officials exploited the common people, it would not have much impact on the entire Nanzhao. But if Buddhist officials all over the country did this, it would be a disaster for the entire country. It's a matter of time.

Isn’t your Nanzhao country clean and honest in its officialdom? Aren’t all officials kind-hearted? Then we will give you a good guide. Originally there was no place to spend money. Now we will find a way for you to spend money, and it will not be enough to spend less.

After these officials' wallets are gone, I'm afraid they will have to find ways to find money. Coupled with the various nobles of Nanzhao Kingdom, it will be difficult for the entire country to survive without crisis.

"What are the plans for today?"

Li Xiang knew that his schedule in Nanzhao was full, so he didn't expect to take a day's rest here. As the grandson of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there were many things he couldn't control.

"King Nanzhao and Queen hosted a banquet in the palace for all of us."

Qian Ping stood up from the side. When discussing national affairs, Li Xiang asked. Otherwise, he would never take the initiative to speak, but if he asked about these trivial things, he would know that he had used his skills.

To put it nicely, it was a banquet for Li Xiang, but to put it badly, it was that the mother-in-law wanted to see her son-in-law. There were only the female relatives in the palace who wanted to see her, and maybe even the princess wanted to see her in private. This is normal. Things were done the same way in the Tang Dynasty Palace.

Anyone else might have been embarrassed, but Li Xiang had no such thoughts.

According to him, as an old man, are we still afraid of others looking at us? Besides, you are born to be watched by others. Since you were born in this family, your whole life has been watched by others, not to mention a small country like Nanzhao. Do they have the courage to break off the engagement if they don't like it?

"His Royal Highness Taisun, take off."

An hour later, Li Xiang, accompanied by his entourage, went to the Nanzhao Palace. This was also the first important thing in the core. The first two days were purely casual things...
