Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"In that case, let's settle it like this."

In order to prevent Chu Mo from changing his mind, Li Shimin hurriedly opened his mouth to block his escape.

Although Ziyang Zhenren and others did not understand Chu Mo's intention, they all had a tacit understanding and did not stop him.

Soon, the three parties agreed, and the masters above the level of masters from the three parties were not allowed to take action easily, unless provoked by the other party, or when their lives were threatened.

Otherwise, if anyone dares to take action at will, once verified, all the masters will kill him with all their strength without any conditions.

Chu Mo, on the other hand, cannot use explosives outside his own territory, otherwise, he will be punished by the entire world.

Originally, Li Shimin and Hui Jue wanted Chu Mo not to use explosives from now on.

But Chu Mo directly denied it.

According to Chu Mo, if I set off firecrackers in my own house, what the hell would it bother you? Unless you are too idle or steal something from my house, then you deserve to be killed by the explosion.

What's more, if you dare to enter and exit my territory without my permission, I will go to your house with explosives.

In order not to give Chu Mo a chance to act like a monster, Li Shimin and Hui Jue could only agree that Chu Mo could use explosives in their fiefdoms, but the premise was that they were not allowed to take them out of their territories. Otherwise, once discovered, they would definitely use explosives at all costs. Kill him.

As for this agreement, not only the Buddhist, Taoist and royal families need to abide by it, but also all the masters and masters in the entire Tang Dynasty need to abide by it.

After the agreement is signed, the three families will send people to distribute the contents of the agreement to all sects and families in the world to let them know about it, so as to prevent future masters from inexplicably violating taboos and being killed directly.

After making an agreement, Chu Mo was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Shimin again.

"Chu Mo, do you want to give me an explanation for what happened when you blew up the grain depot of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Tell me, sister, what do you want? Are you going to fall out with me as soon as the agreement is signed? Okay, you can try to see if I, Chu Mo, am a vegetarian."

Hearing Chu Mo's dirty words, Li Shimin wanted to cut him into eighteen pieces with a sword, but when he saw Yang Hongyu and Yang Hongqian with unkind expressions beside him, the anger that had just risen was extinguished in an instant.

Although no one in the previous three-party war affected him and Chu Mo, it was because everyone knew the rules and would not fight to the death.

But if he really wanted to touch Chu Mo, then Li Shimin believed that when Chu Mo's head fell to the ground, he would also die.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin managed to squeeze out an ugly smile on his almost distorted face and said:

"Chu Mo, now a disaster is ahead. I hope you won't act out of anger. For the sake of the world, I hope you can open a warehouse to provide disaster relief."

Chu Mo rolled his eyes and was about to say a few more words, but he heard Master Ziyang and Sun Simiao saying at the same time: "Chu Mo, if possible, I hope you will think about the common people in the world."

Chu Mo sighed, then looked at Li Shimin pitifully and said:

"Yes, Li Shimin, for the sake of my two elders, I can sell some of the grain to you, but I have a condition."

"You say what you say."

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard that Chu Mo agreed to sell grain and asked hurriedly.

"That is, the price of my food remains unchanged, but I don't want to settle it in cash. I want to exchange it all for copper coins and settle it in copper coins."

"This..."

Li Shimin looked embarrassed. The price of copper coins on the market was soaring day by day. It was impossible for him not to know about this.

Although he wanted to suppress the exchange rate of copper coins, the number of copper coins produced every year was just there. No matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do.

Unless he finds a new copper mine or improves the copper smelting process to increase the output of copper mines.

But such a thing cannot be accomplished overnight.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly caught a glimpse of Hui Jue from the corner of his eye. He remembered that Chu Mo had told him that the wealth in each temple was comparable to that of a noble family, and he had an idea.

After coughing, Li Shimin said to Hui Jue: "Master, now that there is a big disaster today, the court is also stretched thin. I hope that your Buddhist sect can take the lead and use some of your property and food to open porridge sheds to help the victims."

Hui Jue did not expect that one second he and Li Shimin were allies, and the next second the other party would wield a butcher knife to dig out his flesh, and immediately shouted the Buddha's name:

"The four elements of a monk are empty, and there is nothing in the body. Those worldly things are all belonging to my Buddha. How can a poor monk use them? Please take it back for the sake of my Buddhism."

When Chu Mo saw the two of them fighting, he immediately crossed his arms and stood aside to watch the excitement.

When Li Shimin saw that Hui Jue had spent so much money, and then remembered that the other party had given out tens of millions of taels of silver for a broken scripture book, he immediately had a dark look on his face and said:

"Since the master insists on this, it's just right. I have an imperial list that is about to be released. Please wait and listen."

As he said that, he waved to Wang Dehai.

Wang Dehai ran over in a hurry, opened the imperial list and started reading.

This imperial edict was actually drafted by Li Shimin after he recalled Chu Xin's warning and was provoked by Chu Mo in the imperial study room, but he never made up his mind to promulgate it.

But now that he sees Hui Jue like this, he has nothing to say to her.

As Wang Dehai finished reading the imperial list, Chu Mo and Hui Jue's faces turned dark.

The general meaning of the imperial list is that all court officials must donate one year's salary to treat the victims of this disaster.

And all merchants, starting from today, will change from the original fifty-one tax to twenty-one tax.

The three major banks have changed from the original tax rate of one tax per ten to one tax per eight.

Not only that, the imperial edict also mentioned that in response to the current situation where some unscrupulous merchants were hoarding grain at low prices and selling it at high prices, the imperial court even issued a price limit order.

Anyone who sells grain in excess of this price limit will have their property confiscated immediately upon confirmation.

As for temples and Taoist temples, Li Shimin also made special explanations.

However, all registered monks, nuns, Taoist priests and nuns, regardless of age, must pay per capita grain in accordance with the requirements of the court, and no money can be used to deduct it.

For the fields of temples and Taoist temples, starting from the first year of Wude, all tax exemptions must be paid in full in one go, and no money can be used to deduct them.

In addition, starting from today, all properties in the name of temples and Taoist temples will no longer enjoy the tax exemption policy, and the money previously exempted must be paid before the Chinese New Year this year.

Chu Mo only felt that this bitch Li Er would give up any face in order to make money.

Hui Jue felt that the royal family was going to attack Buddhism.
