421 The Three Divine Decrees

When Liu Zongzhou and Xu Guangqi were both at home thinking about how to accurately express their opinions, Gao Panlong fell into confusion and confusion, what made him confused was what Tianqi wanted him to do, although he was asked to discuss with the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to get an idea, to see where to start and where to carry out the pilot project of selecting officials by the people, but what happened next made him feel that he was not in charge, because the next day Tianqi issued three holy decrees on religious issues, gang issues and merchant issues, and their speed and pertinence were not in the morning

In religious affairs, the Revelation stipulates that from the date of the issuance of the holy decree, any activity of any religion must be held in a fixed place, and if ritual activities are to be held outside the temple, they must be declared in advance, otherwise they will be defined as a cult, so that any person wearing a religious garment, or being possessed by any gods, Buddhas, immortals, and ghosts is not allowed to preach doctrines to the common people without permission, even if the Jade Emperor Rulai Buddha God Allah is all alive, they can only stay in the temple honestly and get a clear order from the officials at all levels. If someone is found to have come out of the temple without permission to pull people into the church, he will first pour the blood of a black dog to break the demon body, and then beat 50 large plates and shackles to show the public for three days

Considering that monks do not marry nuns, they cannot marry and give birth to little monks and little nuns, and they must recruit people to continue the incense in the layman's house, so the apocalypse allows monks to preach teachings in the temple to attract people, except for Buddhism, other sects are the same, either you have an empty space to come out and hold regular activities to attract people, and people gather to see the lively place to exchange goods regularly, or you teach people to read, paint, paint, and play chess, or treat people for people to get close to you, and it is convenient for you to pull people to join in, these are allowed to preach in temples and churches, But those who use intimidation and deception to convert people will be stopped

On the issue of gangs, the Apocalypse clearly decreed that any gang that did not put loyalty to the country in the first place must be gradually disbanded within half a year, and the gangs that need to be established because of collaborative labor, such as the Cao Gang of Cao Yun, the Salt Gang of Salt Transport, and the Boat Gang of the Sea must be reorganized by the imperial court, and then managed by the Great Iron Company. The court will never tolerate the rebellious people, and will definitely hoe them and then settle down

In order to embody this idea, it is required that these small groups must belong to the big iron company, and in this apocalypse, the meaning of the big iron company is reinterpreted, which means that all workers work together, unite and help each other, and fair distribution, which is equivalent to eating a big pot of rice; Iron means that as long as you don't commit a crime and don't leave the collective, you have the right to continue to work in the big iron company until you are old, which is equivalent to serving an iron rice bowl

On the matter of capping profits in businessmen's business activities, Apocalypse reiterated the real purpose of the profit cap, that is, not to allow the phenomenon of getting rich overnight, and getting rich means that huge profits mean that the interests of others are seriously infringed upon, and must be unswervingly cracked down, but considering regional differences and industry differences, the original commercial and industrial cap restrictions of 50% can be appropriately adjusted, and how to adjust must be considered according to the actual local situation, and the local government can allow the personnel of auxiliary government agencies to conduct extensive investigations. In the end, reasonable data was obtained and reported to the imperial court for approval, and everything was done according to the old rules before approval

From these three holy decrees, Gao Panlong saw that the apocalypse wanted to take the opportunity to rectify some unstable factors in the Ming Dynasty, and the people who asked for the direct election of officials appeared a while ago, and the results of the preliminary investigation were that there were scholars, merchants, gang congregations, and Taixi missionaries and others, and the apocalypse responded to three of the forces immediately It was of unusual significance that the four types of people reacted, but there was no saying about the scholars, it should be for Gao Panlong to take the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to deal with it, and the reason was that Gao Panlong and the vast majority of the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were Donglin Party, It is most appropriate for them to deal with the affairs of the readers

Since the apocalypse re-employed Gao Panlong, Yang Lian and other Donglin Party members, after five years of operation, the Donglin Party has become a representative and model of scholars, and the trouble of the scholars can also be seen as the internal management of the Donglin Party

For religious people, don't break the boundary, you can only manage what happens after the death of the person, the living people have their own government at all levels to worry about the emperor, manage the river water of the living and the dead, do not violate the well water, the government and the religious people can be safe and sound if they do not cross the line, and can even have a close relationship to help each other, for example, what Buddhism preaches "If you want to know the cause of the past life, the recipient of this life is; If you want to know the fruits of the afterlife, the person who does it in this life is", which is to let the people do good deeds and abide by the law, and the monks are so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the court is also very appreciative, and often allocate money to build temples and reward temple property, hello, I am good, everyone is good, this is what it means

For religious people, it is a demarcation for businessmen, it is a postponement of compromise, I know that some of you have made money because the system is not close to people, and you have not earned a satisfactory amount, and now you can make some adjustments to make everyone satisfied, but the reason for the profit cap is also very clear, the bottom line of the adjustment is not to allow windfall profits, those who want to get rich overnight by changing the policy can die of this heart, and the adjustment is not an immediate adjustment, it needs to be widely investigated before formulating the system and getting approval, that is to say, the next move of the imperial court, you don't make trouble, Otherwise, the adjustment may be delayed indefinitely

The reason for the existence of the gang congregation is also very clear, except for the remnants of the previous dynasty and the deranged people, no one naturally likes to go against the imperial court, the gang congregations generally gather together for a full meal, unity is strength is the universal value of the gang for those congregations is a place to eat and survive, and now it is difficult to knock out other people's rice bowls to ensure that it will not cause people's opposition, so the apocalypse announced that they will be given an iron rice bowl to crush the mud rice bowl and give an iron rice bowl Everyone should be able to accept it, It doesn't matter if someone doesn't accept it for various reasons, the Apocalypse has its own way of persuading them to accept it

Now that the rebellion in Guizhou has been quelled, the Mongols and Jurchens have also left the Ming Dynasty to compete for power on the grassland, and now the Ming Dynasty belongs to the situation where the internal strife has been determined and the external troubles have temporarily subsided, and the field armies of the seven major military regions have been fully staffed and have been intensively trained for several years, and the local guard troops in various places have also been trained in turn, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. In the case of food and something to do, there are certainly not many outlaws

Gao Panlong knew that the Apocalypse could immediately come up with a way to those three kinds of people and forcibly implement it, not because there was no way for the scholars, compared to those gangs and religious people who had a certain amount of force value and belief, the scholars really had no advantage, as the saying goes, "Xiucai rebelled for three years", there are many gossips among the scholars, but there are few who really dare to expose the rod, and they really want to make a big deal The Apocalypse has a lot of means to deal with these scholars, not to mention that there are many armies around Nanjing, just that Wei Zhongxian is still there to keep his light and raise his mind. As long as Wei Zhongxian, a mad dog with super combat effectiveness, is released, he can bite and collapse most of those scholars who can only do it in one night

Gao Panlong thought about it at home for a long time and didn't have a clue, the scholar had already ground the ink evenly and thickly, and the incense in the incense burner was also replaced once, from the lily-scented to the jasmine-scented taste, and the tea was already cold before he took a sip, but the flower stick paper in front of him was still snow-white, and then the housekeeper came over and said softly: "Master, you asked me to remind you from time to time, it's time to visit Lord Ye Xiang, Gao Ye."

Gao Panlong was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart, he had been sitting and thinking about it for an hour, and he still hadn't come up with a clue, so it seemed that he had to discuss with Ye Xianggao, Ye Xianggao reached the age of seventy last year, and retired to the Holy Academy, and read and wrote books in the Holy Academy all day long, but he didn't pay attention to his body, and occasionally felt cold and fell ill, this person is very strange, when you have something to do, it is not easy to get platinum, even if you are sick, it is good to take a few medicines, but once you have nothing to do, you will often get sick, and it is a disease for many days

Ye Xianggao has been lying at home for nearly a month, encountering the change of seasons and the impermanence of the weather is not conducive to recuperation, Gao Panlong has long said to take a look, just this afternoon has nothing to decide to visit, he changed into ordinary clothes and sat on a sedan chair to Ye Xianggao's house, and after waiting for the report, he went in and got off the sedan chair to prepare to enter the back hall, and saw that there was already a sedan chair parked there next to him, so he asked the person who led the way: "Who came to see your master first?" ”

The housekeeper of the Ye Mansion who led the way said: "Master Huigao, this is the sedan chair of Lord Liu Zongzhou Liu of the Holy Academy, and he has just come on the front foot."

Gao Panlong's heart is so coincidental, could it be that Liu Zongzhou is also not good at writing before he came to visit the patient and asked Ye Xianggao for advice by the way? Thinking in his heart, he didn't stop at his feet, and as soon as he walked to the back hall, he saw Liu Zongzhou come out and say: "Lord Gao is so coincidental, I was thinking about visiting you for a while to talk to you about the emperor's errand, but I didn't know that I happened to meet you here with Lord Ye."

Gao Panlong said: "Then let's ask Lord Ye for advice."

After the two entered, they saw Ye Xiang Gao Ben sitting on a pear blossom chair by the window, and when they came in and were about to get up to greet each other, Gao Panlong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Ye, please sit down and ask for money" After speaking, he stretched out his hands and made a posture of please sit

Ye Xianggao didn't refuse to sit down and ask someone to serve tea, looked at the two of them and asked: "My illness has improved a lot, but the wind can't blow, the two brothers came to visit me today, I am very grateful in my heart, is there any reason why you are not working in the yamen now?" ”

Gao Panlong said: "The emperor explained some things, and it was not easy to write after thinking about it, so I had to ask Lord Ye for advice by the way" After speaking, he roughly said his analysis, and said his concerns, that is, the emperor may have an idea and it is not easy for him to decide easily
