201 Equality and Freedom (II)
Long Huamin and the others were slightly stunned when they heard the words of the apocalypse, and they didn't know what the trend of the apocalypse meant. Apocalypse said to them, "I have read the historical records of your Tessie, and although Tessie is on the other side of the Great Tomorrow, he has the same experience, and he is constantly fighting wars. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. The development of all countries is accompanied by constant strife, division and merger, and this state of repetition is not conducive to the development of the countryβ which means that by finding the right direction of development in different histories, and at the same time finding the reasons for each other's struggle and solving problems, so that all countries can develop peacefully, do you know what I mean? β
Long Huamin thought for a while and said: "I understand below, but it is impossible for all countries not to fight in the current state." Only when the monarchs and subjects of all nations believe in our Lord Jesus, under the influence of Christ Jesus, can violence be eliminated and peace be brought to the nations. β
Seeing that this old god stick always put Jesus on his lips, Tianqi thought for a while and said: "I have said before, there are many religions in the Ming Dynasty, each one speaks better than singing, and whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it can achieve peaceful coexistence, if you want people to only believe in your Jesus, you need to prove it to everyone with actions and timeβ originally I wanted all departments of the Ming Dynasty to compare the lives of their ancestors with the lives of today's people, and find a development trend to facilitate the future development direction. I remember that Deng Yuhan studied philosophy, and since he was writing about things, he wouldn't know anything except the illusory Christ Jesus, right? β
Deng Yuhan is a scholar-type missionary, and after sitting down, he put on a posture of not doing my business, and his eyes, nose, nose, nose and heart make people suspect that he has changed his court and become a monk. Seeing that the apocalypse named him, Deng Yuhan said: "I know what His Majesty the Emperor means, and we need to find a peaceful way and the guiding ideology for formulating policies in the future, but Daming is different from Taixi. β
Apocalypse nodded and said, "This is still a little interesting, I don't talk about things that are not boundary, but I am really thinking about the problem." But what do you say is the difference between Daming and Tessie? I see that you all look similar to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I haven't seen anyone with three eyes and two heads. β
Deng Yuhan smiled and said: "There will be fights between people because of misunderstandings or interests, and the same is true between countries. I wanted to say that I believed in Jesus to eliminate people's fighting hearts, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't like to hear it, and the only other way was to develop outward, that is, everyone didn't just look at the immediate interests, and united to seek benefits in unknown lands. But this is the idea of the Taixi people does not conform to the habits of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the people of the Ming Dynasty think that their land is the best, and they have built a lot of city walls on the edge of the country, and a nation that only wants to use the city wall to lock itself up will not be interested in developing outward. β
This Deng Yuhan is true, except that Qin Shi Huang didn't want to die early and sent people to Heng to find Xianshan, now there is indeed no one who likes to cross the ocean to the barren land to find treasures. It is not that the apocalypse did not want to go to the enclosure in the past, but firstly, there is a lack of ability to look around at the border with frequent domestic disasters, and secondly, because he understands that the means of communication and management cannot keep up, even if the enclosure does not last long, the benefits n The people who go there will rebel and become independent is a matter of time, time and effort, and finally make a wedding dress for others, this kind of stupid thing can only be done by fools.
Seeing that the apocalypse was silent, Deng Yuhan said: "In fact, His Majesty the Emperor has done a good job, building cannons at all costs, personally supervising the cultivation of new farms and new varieties of crops for the sake of the people's lives, and the monarchs of many countries cannot do this." It is up to the officials of the court to decide what to do in the future, but when it comes to how to deal with people, there is a suggestion. β
Apocalypse asked, "What advice?" β
Deng Yuhan said: "It is to give people freedom and equality, in our ancient Roman era of Tessie, those who were defeated and captured in battle, or those who had debts that could not be repaid, would become slaves of others." Now there are no slaves in most of our Tessie, they are all free people, and they all live together equally. β
Apocalypse snorted and asked, "Do you see that my Ming Dynasty now has unfree slaves?" As for equality, I am also aware of this, and I am gradually cultivating the sense of equality of all people, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xu Guangqi Xu. β
Xu Guangqi responded: "The emperor's ministers can testify that the emperor's system of selling titles is to let everyone know that equality can be achieved as long as they work hard, and the emperor also decreed that there is no need to bow down in the government affairs yuan, military affairs yuan and other places, these practices with equality thinking have never been done." β
Deng Yuhan said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has asked to say it in the next place, I will forgive you for speaking bluntly, although His Majesty the Emperor is doing it in this regard, it has not done it thoroughly enough. I heard that ordinary people don't have to kneel when they buy a knighthood, but they need silver to buy a knighthood. For the officials in the court, there are only a few places where there is no need to kneel, and other places still have to make a big salute, and we don't need to kneel except to see the Pope in Taixi. β
Apocalypse knows that people like equality, and it is possible to tell the truth when they are equal, and Apocalypse needs the truth, so he is gradually cultivating everyone's sense of equality, and he is proud of this, and he feels that he is an enlightenment teacher. Now after listening to Deng Yuhan's words, I know that I am only the difference between fifty steps and one hundred steps in the eyes of others, and I am afraid that Deng Yuhan will not tell the truth, so it is not good to refute him directly, so I thought about it and said: "Mr. Deng is reasonable, but everything comes step by step, just like going down the steps step by step, if anyone wants to go down in one step, it is easy to fall on his feet." Mr. Deng, please tell me what else is unequal and unfree in Daming? β
Deng Yuhan folded his eyes and said: "For example, although His Majesty the Emperor said that we were allowed to go to various places to preach, he also stipulated that all missionaries must first come to Beijing to report, and when they preach, they must specify the age of the congregants and send people to monitor them, so there is no free spirit. β
Seeing Deng Yuhan say this, the fox tail of the apocalypse heart was finally revealed, which means that how could this Taixi person have a good idea for Daming, it turned out that he was waiting for him here. Tianqi looked at Deng Yuhan and said: "Mr. Deng also said at the beginning, the situation in each country is different, and you Taixi people seek benefits from the outside in order to solve internal disputes, so as to avoid major disputes. Da Ming has no interest in expanding outward, and only thinks about how to govern the interior, so you must ensure internal stability and unity, and send people to supervise your mission. You say that I don't have a free spirit, but you don't have an egalitarian spirit when it comes to missionary work. β
Deng Yuhan asked, "May I ask Your Majesty the Emperor, where do you see that we missionaries do not have the spirit of equality?" β
Tianqi said: "This is very simple, our Ming Buddhism and Taoism do not exclude you, but you do not allow believers to believe in other religions, is this considered equality?" In the eyes of all beings, whether it is the Buddha, Guanyin, Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Jade Emperor, etc., are all gods, there is no difference, you can believe in this god today and another god tomorrow, whoever has great magic power will believe in him more, as the so-called capable people go up and can't go down. Your mind is that your God is the only Lord, and all other gods are false gods, that is, there is no spirit of equality. β
Deng Yuhan shook his head and said: "God is omniscient, omnipotent, and all-good, and the gods in Ming Buddhism and Taoism cannot be compared at all. β
Tianqi also shook his head and said, "We don't have to worry about the affairs of the immortals, let them compete for who is more capable." A while ago, a low-ranking official said that he had to kneel to different superiors every day, and his knees hurt, and he also said that he was homesick and missed his parents, wife and children, and he was not empty, which also corresponded to what you said about equality and freedom. Originally, I planned to build a Buddhist temple and a Taoist temple next to your church in the future, so that you can compete fairly, since your god can't see the gods and Buddhas, then forget it, but you can choose whether to be neighbors with Buddhist temples and monasteries or accept the supervision of the imperial court. β
When Deng Yuhan heard the apocalypse, he had the idea of placing Buddhist temples and monasteries next to every church, and secretly complained in his heart, that one of the principles of their mission was to keep a distance from other religions, and gradually let the congregation stay away from other religious ideas and only accept their brainwashing. If you want people to believe only that they don't believe in other religions, you have to consciously or unconsciously speak ill of others, and if you are far away, you can be a neighbor and be embarrassed to speak ill of others every day. If you don't say anything, you really let Jesus live peacefully with Rulai Guanyin and others and be good neighbors, Jesus will definitely be furious when she knows about it.
Deng Yuhan and Long Huamin glanced at each other, then nodded to Tianqi and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor is afraid that our missionary activities will affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty, these concerns are understandable, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to send someone to supervise it, but don't build a Buddhist temple next to the church, that will not affect it well." β
Apocalypse nodded and said, "In that case, let's say it, if I find out that you are preaching privately, I will really build a Buddhist temple next to the church, and I will build a few nunnery to test your chastity." He smiled.
Just when Tianqi mobilized officials to explore the future development direction of the Ming Dynasty, two small things appeared. The first is that several county decrees were played, saying that the imperial court sent a large number of imperial historians from the idle personnel of the Hanlin Academy to the provinces to train the people, and it is said that these trained people will be directly appointed to the counties from the seven products, mainly to assist the big iron company in selling the rights to open mines, opening workshops, etc., and the later management β news was known by the adjutants of the prefectures and counties, and they asked around whether it was true or false, and it is said that they were very frustrated after hearing the news and had no intention of doing things, thinking that it was unfair for the imperial court to do so, and the chief officials of each county submitted a letter to the imperial court to confirm and explain the situation below.
The second incident was that in Shaanxi, there were supervisors who failed to fulfill their duties, and as a result, the economic review of some officials was only a formality and was exposed.
