Through the establishment and perfection of Protestantism, the immeasurable Taoist master skillfully transformed Taoism, made a breakthrough development for Taoism in the new dynasty era, and allowed China's native Taoism to keep up with the epoch-making pace. Follow? Dream?. lā

He pointed out the development aspects of Taoism, and timely guided his peers to integrate into the new era, suitable for the new dynasty, from the traditional Taoist behavior of alchemy, cultivating immortals, enlightening heaven, Taoism, mystical mechanism, medicine, martial arts, and saving people, to scientific astronomy, geography, medicine, chemical research, or medical tourism, charity and other industries, so that peers have a legitimate, reasonable and reliable new job bowl and continue to have a way out.

And the Buddhism, which was busy pretending to be Buddha in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, making money and food, and enjoying the unprecedented prosperity and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally fell behind, and there was no place and no prospects.

The Infinite Dao Leader is very clever in this hand.

He was also very proud of the fact that he had invisibly squeezed out the old rival of foreign China for thousands of years, Buddhism, and also made the essence of Taoism reborn and strengthened in disguise.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Laoer's master, the unknown Taoist, does not like crepe and tedious things, but is also willing to actively participate in the founding of Protestantism.

Zhao Yue understood the careful eyes of the master and the immeasurable Dao Master, but he pretended to be stupid and didn't know.

As long as Protestantism, which incorporates the positive teachings of the world's mainstream denominations, meets the most fundamental requirements of the rapid scientific progress of mankind.

He didn't care whether it was Catholicism, Jesus, Arabism, or what religion made up the bulk of Protestant doctrine.

Manichaeism, which is also a religion but is in the essence of rebellion and seizure of power, is even more uncomfortable, not only completely excluded from the Protestant New World, but also in an extremely awkward situation.

Manichaean fanatics still have tens of thousands of armed men, but they lack weapons, and they lack the confidence to start an uprising;

The imperial court also dispatched a new army to focus on strengthening the deterrence and control of Jiangnan, these new troops are not Jiangnan natives, and have nothing to do with Manichaeism, nor have much to do with Jiangnan people, they have no feelings for Jiangnan people in the countryside, but they are all wicked and villains, and they must be scum to prevent pirates, but they are brave and bold and powerful against Jiangnan people;

The immigrants who have just fled from the interior stay in Jiangnan and occupy a large amount of land and real estate to start a new life, but the people's hearts are unstable, and they are afraid that they are all dissenting to the Great Song Dynasty, and they are waiting to see the situation, staying in the coastal areas to live is afraid that it is convenient to defect at any time, and Jiangnan is afraid that they will flee away from the war together, and there are no people to exploit, who will rebel against the rule.

In this bad situation, Fang La could only choose to continue to forbear, and his ambition to simply pull the flag and rebel immediately could only be restrained and covered up.

Zhao Gonglian retired and came back, his power and prestige were stronger, Fang La saw the threat, and when he saw his own strength, he didn't dare to act lightly.

Fortunately, I heard that the terrible Cangbei army of 100,000 defected to less than 20,000 horses.

No matter how powerful Zhao Gonglian is, only this little bit of a strong army will not be able to exert his power for a while.

Especially the northern Tian Hu, who was closest to Zhao Gonglian's Weimang, was relieved after thinking about it after being indignant, but it was only a slight relief.

His advisors said that he himself knew that this Hou Ye was a person who was good at creating miracles, and the Cangzhao family behind him was the source of miracles.

Clear-eyed, who dares to underestimate this family?

There was not much left of the Cangbei Army under Zhao Gonglian, and it was impossible to send troops into the interior to suppress the thieves, but his military power was several times greater.

Who dares to say that this Hou Ye can't turn decay into magic and quickly reorganize the other rotten troops on Gaoyang Pass Road into a strong force.

Only the 100,000 border troops in Hejian Province are trained well, and they are scary enough. What's more, he still has the power to train and rectify the army on the West Hebei Road.

The Western Route Army is on the edge of Tian Hu.

Tian Hu only has about 100,000 troops left in his hands at the moment.

The number of people sounds like they are not old or young, and they are all the most vicious and dare to fight, but when it comes to the army that Zhao Gonglian has rectified, Tian Hu still doesn't have much confidence.

After all, he is not limited to the Erlongshan power group that is easy to defend.

It is necessary to divide troops to guard the occupied states and counties, and 100,000 people are everywhere, so what can they do?

At present, he doesn't even have the strength and courage to take the opportunity to send troops to loot the nearby Dasongzhou County, although he is surrounded by newly formed villains, and the officers and soldiers are unstable and their combat effectiveness is definitely not good.

There are too many people under his rule who have fled, and there are very few people who farm and pay grain and taxes, and the situation is too miserable, so they can only rely on the old foundation to support them, but how to raise an army to fight in the future?

He was dying of sorrow for it,

They did not dare to raise troops to go out and wantonly rob the population, wealth and materials.

I robbed it once before, and it was easy to grab a lot of benefits, but the people around me who didn't want to flee from their homes were immediately scared away too much when they heard the news. No matter how vicious and short-sighted Tian Hu is, he will not dare to commit wanton murder and looting anymore, for fear that if he kills and robs again, he will scare the few people who are already uncertain, so he will simply abandon his home and defect or move to another country.

This disaster, the Great Song Dynasty is very different from before, in the past, the Great Song Dynasty was overcrowded everywhere, and the people wanted to migrate but had no way to go, so they could only stay in their hometowns and stay bored, and now, everywhere are abandoned fields and real estate and crops waiting to be harvested, where there are survival resources that can be obtained in vain, who will know that their hometown is too dangerous but wait to die?

If even the nearby population is gone, it's really doomed.

In that case, the puppet Jin regime can only be a rogue, living by wandering around and looting, but that has no foundation, can only succeed for a while, once it no longer has the traditional image of a stable territory and a stable political center recognized by people, it is just a thief, losing its appeal to attract people's hearts, and dying quickly against the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only by patiently waiting for the Great Song Dynasty to slow down will strict measures be taken to control the migration and loss of population, and the people nearby will not dare to run and cannot run, so they can grab it again.

I'm afraid that by then, the Song court will stabilize the situation in the world, and Zhao Gonglian will also organize the army and be able to draw troops to recruit and suppress.

Tian Hu's worries and troubles, Su Taiwei naturally didn't know, it was none of his business, and he didn't care.

He only cares that Cangbei lacks too many troops, how can he rely on less than 20,000 people to hold the defense area of the four military states in Cangbei?

The pace of the autumn harvest is approaching day by day, and it should be a day of harvest joy. However, Liaokou's red eyes on the southward looting of winter supplies are also approaching.

The situation is more critical than ever.

The missing Hebei West Route Army has been urgently replenished after these days, and it doesn't matter if it is used or not, at least most of the troops have been replenished, and there are troops to defend the border passes.

This is thanks to the vigorous merger of states and counties that the Great Song Dynasty is in full swing.

Prime Minister Bai Shizhong, Governor Zhang Bangchang and other bigwigs of the imperial court are not wastes who can't do anything big for nothing, and they still have a certain amount of governing ability and experience in governing the country.

In the face of the terrible post-disaster chaos, the imperial court has done a lot of work, and is strengthening the executive power of the localities to obey the central government's decisions with an unprecedentedly severe posture, striving to adjust the new political and military layout as quickly as possible, quickly stabilize the situation in the whole country, prevent the situation from deteriorating further, and save the crumbling regime.

The Northern Song Dynasty originally had more than 200 state capitals, but now it is planned to reduce the number to fifty or sixty.

It's too hard to downsize, but you can't do it.

In the past, the population of one county in the Great Song Dynasty was now unable to withstand the population of three or two or even more counties. In many places, the population of a state is not as large as that of a county in the past.

The situation is better along the coast because of the migration frenzy, which brings a large number of immigrants from all over the world. The population of the mainland is really not one in ten, or even less.

Too many people have been lost by defecting to the pirates.

Sitting in the yamen of the capital and watching the population reports from various places was shocking. What used to be a population of 10,000,000 is now only about 20 million.

If you go down to the local area to inspect the various places, you can see with your own eyes the abandoned villages, fields, and crops, and you may not be able to see individuals when you ride a horse, which is even more shocking.

There is land but no one is there, how can there still be so many state and county government yamen, and why are so many officials who eat for nothing as masters?

Spending state money in vain, just to sound good and look good?

No one farms the land and pays taxes to provide exploitation, and after a long life, the current savings are exhausted, where is the money and food squandered?

Can only be cut.

It is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the local bureaucrats are frightened by the tide of defection, massacres and looting, and they must closely rely on the imperial court to survive and severely reduce and rearrange the distribution in one step.

Otherwise, once the local officials have settled down, the local officials have no threat, and they have the leisure and energy to calmly bargain with the imperial court, and it will be difficult to make a big adjustment.

At that time, the local officials in the world do not want to be demoted or even dismissed, and in order to maintain their status, power, and vital interests, they will make trouble and force the central authorities to make concessions, and it will be impossible to downsize the local officials.

This is a big move related to the fortunes of the country, and the court has moved really and made real efforts.

In the redivision of prefectures and counties and the allocation of officials, not only according to the population situation reported by the localities and the ability and integrity of the local officials and their loyalty to the imperial court, but also sent a large number of reconnaissance personnel to various places to conduct urgent field investigations and obtain as accurate information as possible.

Then, according to the geographical and demographic situation and the actual political and military needs, the targeted prefectures were merged into one prefecture, and the abolished prefecture capitals were changed to counties, and the county yamen groups in the former prefecture capitals continued to retain their posts and be responsible for their rule. The county was changed to a town. The Great Song Dynasty officially included the town in the administrative unit system, responsible for administering a very scattered village in the east and west with a small population.

This adjustment, or can be called the administrative reform of the Song Dynasty, the magnitude is very large, the measures are also very rapid and stiff and intense, plus a little capable people in various places are busy desperately smuggling grain, copper (money), iron and other materials from pirates in exchange for cute silver coins and precious stones, for a time chickens and dogs jumped everywhere and made a fuss, but the implementation did not encounter much resistance.

Because of the summer disaster and national disaster, there were too many state capitals and counties destroyed by pirates, halal mountain bandits, immigration frenzy, etc., too many state government officials died, and those who did not die were forcibly swept away overseas.

The main leaders of the magistrates are originally away from their hometowns and serve in other places, and they will be transferred to any place at any time, they are exiled officials, there is no plot of leaving the country, there is no family drag in the place where they work, and there is land that can be transferred at the same level, who wants to stay in a place where there are few people and no oil and water to insist on being a state-level official, uncomfortable and confronting the court to find death?

They all left happily after receiving the order,

Just leave, don't dare to delay at all, for fear that if there is a slight mistake, your new position will be given to someone else by the court.

There are too many state capitals that have been abolished, relatively speaking, there are few that have been destroyed in disasters and there are few officials who lack officials, and there are not so many seats to accommodate all the state government officials who have been laid off. This Bai Shizhong Prime Minister also has a trick to deal with.

During the summer harvest disaster, the capital was touched by its own interests and fiercely opposed Gao Yu's wanton army to massacre and plunder the local tyrants and inferior gentry in Lianghuai and Shandong.

As a result, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang and other powerful ministers took the opportunity to transfer the local officials of the same party and state capitals, as well as officials who were not related to the household but had no contradictions and threats, but had high prestige and could not be ignored, to the capital, so that not only did they install cronies, but the emperor also easily passed the test, and solved the most important problem of the placement of local high-ranking officials, and explained to the upper and lower levels.

The most powerful and most difficult state-level officials who oppose the central government's decision-making can almost easily handle it, and the rest is easy to say.

The obstruction of administrative reform by county-level officials is not a matter at all.

The county officials suffered the most in the national disaster.

Except for the county officials who were able to survive with the state officials and a very small number of people who fled to the state capital city in time to take refuge, the county seat of the Great Song Dynasty was the target of looting and massacre by the immigrant army in the same way as the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the countryside, and was repeatedly attacked and looted by a wave of defections from the mainland, and was almost completely destroyed.

The county-level officials are either dead, or good officials and good people have not been killed, but they have also been forcibly swept away by the wave of immigrants.

There are not a few county officials left, so where is the resistance to the removal?

The remaining problem is that the lower-level local officials in the state government yamen are a little troublesome.

Some people are reluctant to leave their families and hometowns and move with the yamen as a whole to live in other places.

This is just right for the imperial court.

The newly established counties and towns in the local area are short of people to preside over them.

Those who are unwilling to leave will be placed in local grass-roots positions according to their grades, but naturally the vast majority of them can only be demoted.

But there was not much resistance.

There is no fool who can be an official.

These people who chose to stay were already eyeing the new positions in their hometowns, and they had already seen the benefits, and they were unwilling to venture to unfamiliar places, and they were willing to stay when they were demoted.

Can you make a fortune as a serious official?

How much money can you lose by downgrading?

Being a grassroots official in his hometown, managing a large area of land and other resources, managing many small villages, and having the support of a family foundation is the treatment and taste of the most comfortable soil emperor.

What they want is the lining and benefits, and they abandon the face of the state and city officials who have nothing to show for themselves.

The state capital was abolished, and the local garrison was naturally abolished.

Raising troops is extremely expensive, and it must also be abolished and adjusted.
