If a person has no pressure, he will not be active in doing things, and he is likely to become a salty fish.
The same is true for a court.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? of of??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If before, many officials of the imperial court did not approve of the order for monks, nuns and Taoist priests to return to secular life and the sale of ultimatums, now most of them do not think so.
Why?
Because the heavy snow started at the end of November and has been falling for ten days and ten nights without any sign of stopping.
Let¡¯s put it this way.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims¡¯ labor force that could be used this year, the entire Gyeonggi area would have been completely divided into small pieces by heavy snow, and there would be no way to connect them.
Even in the imperial capital, the roads are covered with ice and snow, making it difficult for people to travel, let alone carriages and donkey carts to transport goods.
If you just carry it on your shoulders, there will be a shortage of many daily necessities in the Imperial Palace, making it difficult for the people to live their daily lives.
At first, many censors were impeaching Miao Yan and Xiong Wenqing, saying that they were wasting a lot of money and food by asking these workers to clear the snow and clean the roads.
¡°After all, each person¡¯s salary of two hundred cash per day was raised and paid by the imperial court, the governor¡¯s office of the capital, or the government office of the imperial capital. How much should hundreds of thousands of people be paid per day?
¡°Even if it¡¯s a mountain of gold and silver, I can¡¯t help but give it all day long.
But now we see that the heavy snow continues to spread. The efforts of these workers have made everyone¡¯s life more convenient. At least daily travel and daily life can be guaranteed at least. Even they themselves have benefited a lot, so the censors gradually stopped shouting.
But in the past few days, the number of workers on the roads in Dijingfu and Gyeonggi areas has decreased significantly.
A large number of them were concentrated on the official road leading to Shanxi, working hard to clear the snow in the direction of Shanxi.
There hasn¡¯t been such heavy snow in Shanxi now. You can still take the official road there, but if you get to the Gyeonggi area, the roads are not cleared and there is no way for vehicles transporting coal to pass.
If it wasn¡¯t winter, you could take a detour and take the waterway, but now that¡¯s not possible, you can only rely on a large number of horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts for transportation.
It is necessary to ensure the smooth flow of this official road so that there will be no shortage of coal in the Gyeonggi area and people will not be frozen to death in large areas.
Therefore, with so many people working together to ensure the smooth flow of official channels, no one is gossiping.
But as the difficulty of the project intensified and the distance from the main city grew more and more, more and more food was consumed. Miao Yan was so anxious that he got angry even in winter. ¡ª¡ªWorking in the ice and snow consumes more energy and makes them more likely to get hungry. And if you don¡¯t provide them with three meals a day, their salary may not even be enough for food, so of course they won¡¯t work.
He wrote memorials to the emperor for three consecutive days, hoping to increase subsidies.

¡° Miao Yan, a wealthy businessman like Miao Yan who confiscated one to two million taels of silver, can no longer hold on. This also shows how quickly money and food are being consumed.
At this time, Emperor Jinghe no longer had any patience.
He sent two edicts to Wenyuan Pavilion in succession, asking the prime ministers and the six ministers to work together to find a way to settle the affairs of the monks, nuns and Taoists as soon as possible.
After all, this is the only way to get money as quickly as possible.
For a time, the pressure on temples and Taoist temples from the imperial court was unprecedentedly huge.
Even Abbot Haiwu, who was in the Daxiangguo Temple, felt it very clearly.
Daxiangguo Temple is actually the Empress Dowager¡¯s favorite temple, and she often comes to pay homage.
The principals of other temples and Taoist temples all hope that Abbot Haiwu will take the opportunity to talk to the Queen Mother, hoping to avoid or reduce losses.
But Abbot Haiwu has not done this so far.
He knew very well that this was a major national matter and the Queen Mother might not be able to handle it.
"Even if the Queen Mother takes care of him out of affection, the affection he has accumulated over the years will dissipate.
Now is not the most critical time for Daxiangguo Temple, so why did Abbot Haiwu use his trump card?
After hearing two imperial edicts in succession, Abbot Haiwu, who had hesitated for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and invited four old friends.
They are Master Zishan, the abbot of Baoen Temple, Master Deping, the abbot of Puji Temple, and Master Xuanyang of Yuhuang Temple and Master Chongdao of Laojun Temple, both of the other three major temples in Imperial Capital.
Together with Abbot Haiwu, these five people can basically influence the entire Gyeonggi region.After this time, they will not ask for money like this again. "
"Actually, they have also left us a way out." Abbot De Ping said calmly, "In the next five years, only 5,000 certificates will be issued each year. Doesn't this mean that all temples and Taoist temples across the country will only issue five thousand certificates at most? One million taels of silver? Do we have to buy it all then?"
Abbot Zishan followed the words and said, "This means that we don't have to worry about this problem for at least five years. We will talk about everything after five years."
"Yes, I understand this." Abbot Haiwu said, "And there is another point. There are so many temples in the world. This time we responded positively, so next time they won't point at us to ask for money. At least we will return the favor. You can get five years.
¡°If the money is given like this once every ten years, I don¡¯t think it is unacceptable. After all, the imperial court is the biggest, and we have no reason or ability to fight them head-on, right? "
Abbot Haiwu is worthy of being the head of the largest temple in the world.
His simple and direct analysis immediately made everyone feel that it made sense, and they slowly accepted his idea.
"It can only be the."
Everyone was silent for a while, and then the eldest Abbot Deping spoke, "I hope the court and the emperor can keep their word and will not embarrass us again! Our Puji Temple is willing to advance and retreat together with the Daxiangguo Temple."
With a sigh, Master Xuanyang also said: "Jade Emperor Temple advances and retreats together with the two masters."
??????????????????????????????????????The remaining Abbot Zishan Chongdao is not that kind of die-hard, so he can only agree.
The five largest temples and Taoist temples advance and retreat together. This method of hugging together to keep warm is itself a kind of protection for themselves.
¡¡
In the winter of the 30th year of Emperor Jinghe¡¯s reign, heavy snowfall kept falling, and hundreds of thousands of poor people were trapped in poverty
Abbot Haiwu of Daxiangguo Temple, Master Zishan, abbot of Baoen Temple, Master Deping, abbot of Puji Temple, Master Xuanyang of Jade Emperor Temple, and Master Chongdao of Laojun Temple have compassionate hearts and take the initiative to donate ultimatums by voluntarily purchasing them. Two million seven hundred thousand taels of silver.
? Subsequently, various temples and Taoist temples in the Gyeonggi region followed suit, conspired to do good deeds, and donated 4.5 million taels of silver in the same way, for a total of 7.2 million taels.
