Chapter 150: The Three Sects Go to Sea
"The little monk only loves peaches, not peaches......," Xue Lang argued with a red face.
"That's not the point!" Zhao Hao patted his bright brain melon, just like a big watermelon. "The point is that you are going to sit back and wait like this, and not use this great opportunity to get to know them, learn how to fight them, and fight to keep the enemy out of the country?!"
"Keeping the enemy out of the country?" Xue Lang repeated softly.
"Yes, it is better to have a war on someone else's territory than in your own home." Zhao Hao nodded, and said demagoguously: "Tamluo Island is just your novice village, you will go to a broader battlefield after accumulating enough experience in struggle." Go to the South Seas, go to the West, preach unrestrainedly, drive the Chezhi Dan Sect out of our Ming Dynasty, and protect our Chinese subjects from the poison of monotheism! Isn't this merit greater than if you built ninety-nine temples? ”
"This ......" Xue Lang couldn't help but be fascinated leisurely. This damn romantic feeling made his heart move, as if he had found the direction of his life at once.
"You don't have to worry about security, the Chezhi Dan Sect has an army escort, and you also have a coast guard to protect it, let us fight side by side to drive the Monotheism and their followers back to the West!" Zhao Hao stared at Xue Lang with blazing eyes, wanting to make him feel his strong will.
"Okay...... Xue Lang couldn't resist his fiery eyes after all, and nodded slightly.
"Haha, that's great!" Zhao Hao happily let go of him, sat back on his futon and said, "You go, Tang Fatzi must be very happy." He takes care of everything, you don't have to worry about other things, you just have to devote yourself to preaching, so that there is no one to preach the Chezhi Dan religion! ”
"Don't worry about this kind of missionary thing, Zhao Shizhu thinks that the White Lotus, Maitreya, Luo Sect and other evil sects are crooked, but after learning a little bit of Buddhism, it is enough to bewitch thousands of people. I am too strict with the imperial court, otherwise I will give me 3,000 novices, and the little monk will make the Tartars eat fast and recite the Buddha, and the world will be bald! Who knew that Xuelang was full of confidence.
He's really not bragging, and Shakya is really strong in proselytizing. They preach the immortality of the soul of the dead, accumulate merit and reincarnation, and let the people at the bottom accept it, and honestly endure this life and wait for the next game. This not only alleviates the suffering of the common people in this world, but also reduces the cost of the ruler's rule, so the situation in China will soon be opened.
Moreover, the teachings from Tianzhu, a religious holy place, also have a good religious organizational structure and skillful communication technology...... With the help of the Sangha model, new missionary areas can be opened, and by preaching the merits of attracting people to the Church, this pyramid scheme-like method can encourage the converted believers to move around to preach, and it can quickly spread virally.
"Don't, just let them eat fasting and chant Buddha, don't really be a monk." Zhao Hao hurriedly reminded him.
"The little monk is just an analogy." Xue Lang smiled faintly and said, "Actually, to be honest, the thirty-six posture is not as good as the support of those in power. Therefore, the only concern is that the Li Dynasty followed the example of the Ming Dynasty, respected Confucianism and destroyed the Buddha for many years, and was afraid that he would not say anything about the preaching of the little monks, and he would secretly dismantle the platform. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, at least on Tamna Island, the civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty will not interfere with you. Besides, there is a fat man in everything. Zhao Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "He, the mayor of Xingang, is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of Tamluo." ”
"If Master Tang really does what you say, as long as he takes refuge in the Three Jewels first, then it will be easy to preach." Snow waves climb up the pole.
"Go and convert him yourself, I won't interfere with that." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said: "But to tell you the truth, in addition to you, there is also a group of Taoist priests, a group of rotten Confucians, oh no...... Staunch Confucian fanatics will also go with you to Tamna. I will also build Taoist temples and schools for them, and I will not take sides. Therefore, who can win Mayor Tang's support depends on who will help him the most. ”
"What?" Xue Lang was surprised: "Master Zhao, are you going to raise Gu?" Why do you still go to all three? ”
"Brothers are on the wall, and the outside is bullying." Zhao Gongzi smiled and said half-truthfully: "If Sanying fights Lu Bu and still can't beat it, then don't come back, and apologize collectively." ”
Letting the three families of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism go overseas to preach together and resist the erosion of monotheism on the Great Tomorrow is the result of repeated discussions between Zhao Gongzi and Xu Wei and others.
The three religions have their own strengths and weaknesses, complement each other, and form a religious system of Chinese civilization. Buddhism is suitable for viral transmission in the lower classes, and it is not as attractive to the upper classes as Taoism. Taoism's preaching of immortality and dual cultivation of life has a fatal attraction to the ruling class, especially the royal family, but it is completely inadequate for the lower classes in preaching.
As for Confucianism, especially Cheng Zhu Lixue, it has become orthodox in the entire Chinese civilization circle and is essential to maintaining the ruling order of the Great Tomorrow.
But it is an earthly doctrine that regulates only the real world, and does not elaborate on the afterlife and the supernatural world. Therefore, it is not so much a religion as it is a universal value of the Chinese civilization. It guides the words and deeds of the people of the great tomorrow.
Why can monks and Taoists attend Chinese funerals together? It is because Confucianism, which regulates social behavior, is open to religion. It is precisely this inclusiveness of belief that leads to the tolerance of Chinese civilization towards immortals, which is the basis for the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Therefore, Confucianism or Confucianism does not conflict with all religions, including monotheism, which is very awesome. So Zhao Gongzi prefers to promote it as a value.
There is no one in this world who understands the power and importance of 'universal values' better than Zhao Gongzi. No matter how much money he spends and how much effort he puts in, he wants people in the Chinese civilization circle to speak Chinese and respect Confucianism. This will greatly reduce the toxicity of religion, reduce the difficulty of maintaining the Chinese civilization circle, improve the cohesion of the great tomorrow, and resist the strong erosion of foreign civilizations and religions......
Taoism is responsible for hooking up with the upper strata, Buddhism is responsible for pyramid schemes, and Confucianism is responsible for educating the middle stratum and strengthening the official ideology. The three-legged stand to achieve the overall goal of Zhao Gongzi to resist the monotheistic religion and strengthen the Chinese civilization circle.
~~
But is the 'Three Religions going to Sea' his wishful thinking, or can he really fight with the Monotheistic Religion? Of course, the scientific Zhao Gongzi cannot draw arbitrary conclusions. It is necessary to use scientific methods to conduct experiments, sum up experiences and lessons, and continuously improve methods, so that the three religions, which have become greenhouse flowers, can regain their wildness.
Tamna Island is the best testing ground. There, there are Ming people, Li Dynasty people, Japanese, Ryukyuan people, and even Europeans, South Asian natives, and you can observe the acceptance of the three religions by people with different cultural backgrounds; the degree of acceptance of Chezhidanism; When the three religions coexisted with the Chezhi Dan religion, people's tendencies; the degree of exclusion between the three religions and the Chezhi Dan religion, etc......
Moreover, Tamna Island is isolated overseas, no matter what the result is, it has no impact on the Ming Dynasty. Any adverse consequences are also in Zhao Hao's control.
Zhao Gongzi patiently explained to Xue Lang that this mission on Tamluo Island was just a novice village task, and after focusing on observation and experiments, he reluctantly accepted that he was not the only result in Zhao Gongzi's heart.
"Although the three religions are pursued at the same time, there must always be one principal." Zhao Hao quietly put on a high hat for Xue Lang and said: "The two Confucianism and Taoism are a little crotch-pulling in uniting the masses, and you are highly respected, so you are the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau of Xingang City." ”
"Director of Religion?" Xue Lang's eyes widened.
"Yes, all sects that want to preach in Xingang must apply to the Religious Affairs Bureau, and only after obtaining a license can they preach under the supervision of the Religious Affairs Bureau." Zhao Hao smiled: "Let you be both an athlete and a referee, I'm good enough for you, right?" ”
Xue Lang now understood, the Ming Dynasty officials at all levels have the Sangha Lu Division and the Daolu Division, which respectively manage the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and all sects other than the two religions are illegal. The Religious Affairs Bureau not only integrates the functions of the two divisions, but also puts all religions into one basket and manages them, so won't it become the emperor of all sects?
"Can Confucianism also manage it?" Xue Lang asked with some uncertainty, after all, Confucianism has been oppressing Buddhism for 200 years......
"It can be managed, but Confucianism is not within the scope of the Religious Affairs Bureau, and is under the jurisdiction of the Culture and Education Bureau." Zhao Hao gave him another official hat and said: "You are also the director of the Cultural Bureau, and even Confucianism is under your control." ”
"That's it......" Xue Lang felt that this was reasonable, after all, Confucianism, as an official ideology, was still very different from religion. Under the jurisdiction of the Religious Affairs Bureau, there is a suspicion of deliberate dwarfing, and it is estimated that Mr. Dong Yan will resist to the death.
However, let a monk take care of Confucian affairs, Zhao Gongzi is really messy enough. It can also be seen from this that Tamna Island Newport City is indeed a place where you can do whatever you want.
Thinking about it this way, Xuelang is really a little excited.
The heart said that Zhao Gongzi was really accurate in seeing people, and he must have seen that the little monk was a restless monk.
This blind man can see it, right?
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "The last question, which bureau is in charge of Zhao Shizhu's science?" ”
"Oh, science, we're just newborn babies, poor and helpless." Zhao Gongzi said with great self-knowledge: "I don't dare to fight hand-to-hand with you thousand-year-old monsters, and I will be satisfied if I open a few academies in China." ”
"Science is going to go abroad sooner or later, so why don't you accumulate experience first?" Xuelang sincerely invites.
"No, we're different, the later science spreads, the better, and it's better to never go abroad." Zhao Gongzi said without hesitation: "The Religious Affairs Bureau and the Culture and Education Bureau should also be vigilant, review and approve teaching materials, and prevent scientific knowledge and technology from flowing out of your side." ”
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Especially to guard against the Chezhi Dan Sect and the red-haired ghosts!" ”
"Understood." Xue Lang suddenly realized that science needs to be kept secret. No wonder Zhao Gongzi has always been not very concerned about promoting science, and only wholeheartedly embarked on the upper route, because he was worried that it would spread overseas......
