Although in later generations, Chinese liked to talk about things at the wine table. But in the moment, it can only seem disrespectful. In particular, the way of eating is to divide the food. This makes it necessary to speak more forcefully. Otherwise, the person sitting across from you is likely to be unable to hear clearly.

In addition, as the saying goes, you don't say anything when you eat. It would be rude to talk while eating. So throughout the dinner, in addition to being polite, everyone enjoyed singing and dancing while eating.

After such a full meal, Li Xiao took irrelevant people and waited for him to retreat. In the entire flower hall, only Li Chengji and others remained.

"Yizhi, why is it only allowed to build a Huihui temple in the city, but not a Buddhist temple?" , Shi Mo Min'an is the guest invited by Li Shichang, and he can be regarded as a representative of everyone. Therefore, it is reasonable to ask questions for the first time.

Li Chengji had already guessed that they would be concerned about religion, and said loudly: "Uncle Shi Mo should know." Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. This territory of Khorasan is nine times out of ten Muslims. If you want to gain a foothold here, you have to conform to the will of the people. ”。

In fact, Lee Seungji himself is a standard atheist. In his eyes, all religions are false. But here in Khorasan, it has been two or three hundred years old. Many people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are also deeply religious.

In order to win their support, one can only make the posture of an apologetic.

To tell the truth, if there were a lot of Han people in Central Asia, he would not mind using his power to change the situation of Khorasan's monopoly. It's a pity that he doesn't have any Hermes-Epitek in his hands at all. And in Khorasan he was still a standard outsider.

In the absence of a large ethnic group to rely on, the people of Khorasan can only be turned into their own under the guise of religion.

I have heard this answer in my previous conversation with Li Shichang. So Shi Mo Min'an was not surprised, and continued: "Will it be the same when he enters the Liao Land in the future? ”。

At present, the religious policy pursued by Daliao is to treat all people equally. Whether it is Buddhism, Nestorianism, Zoroastrianism, or Islam, they all have equal rights to proselytize. In addition, there are many not well-known sects, which are also recognized by officials.

This is obviously much milder than Ghorasan's strong promotion of Puritanism.

Of course, what Shi Mo Min'an really cares about is not Li Chengji's religious policy, but his attitude towards the Hui people. It's a struggle for power, and it's also a process of pie distribution.

After all, there are more Hui people in the Khorasan government, and there are relatively few Liao people. If this development continues, the Liao people are likely to be squeezed out of the court in the future.

Shi Mo Min'an, who has become accustomed to the identity of the ruling class, naturally does not want to see such a situation. So even though Li Shichang had explained it to them, he still couldn't help but ask Li Chengji in person.

knew what they were worried about, but Li Chengji didn't say it explicitly, and only responded: "It varies from custom to customs, and measures are adapted to local conditions." Khorasan is already a place to return, and the customs of return should be followed. And Liao has Liao law, and it should be based on Liao customs. ”。

This is a question that Li Chengji considered when he founded Puritanism. In the end, he is not willing to turn Allah into the god of the whole world and force everyone to believe. Therefore, different religious policies are implemented for different regions.

The first is to capture the hearts and minds of the people and maintain their rule in the region. The second is to prevent a situation in the future where only Islam is dominant in the territory.

And his original intention of founding the Puritan sect was to replace and reform Islam. To a certain extent, the influence of religion on the secular is reduced.

Therefore, it was only in the predominantly Muslim territory that Puritanism was fully implemented.

Wang Yinzhi listened and interjected: "Doesn't it mean that it will uphold the old law of Daliao when it becomes the master of Daliao one day?" ”。

This has a deep meaning! Because the old law does not only refer to religion, but also includes many aspects such as government decrees, officials, and political systems.

Zhang Timing and Ali Bura are old oilers in officialdom, how can they not hear it. So under the influence of alcohol, my eyes, which were a little blurry, have also cleared up a lot.

"Those who are useful take it, and those who are useless discard it. The merits of the old law of Daliao should be upheld. But all the mistakes and omissions are also nullified. ”。

Lee Seung-ji's response was also a pun. Religiously, it can be understood that if most of the believers in Liao are Muslims, they will fully respect Buddhism. Otherwise, don't force it. In terms of government decrees, it is to retain the merits of Daliao and abolish the useless.

In terms of employing people, it means that talented officials will be selected and incompetent officials will be abandoned.

Speaking of which, this is a fair principle. According to Wang Yinzhi's understanding, Li Chengji will not treat Liao officials and Hui officials differently.

In the end, it is a big country that has ruled the borders of Central Asia for nearly a hundred years, and these Liao officials are still somewhat capable. As long as Li Chengji does not favor the return officials, then in an environment of fair competition, they have the confidence to maintain the superiority of the Liao officials in the officialdom.

At this time, Sun Ji, who had not spoken much, also interjected: "It will overturn the Great Liao in the future, how will Khorasan deal with the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Liao?" ”。 As a military general, he will not speak as tactfully as Shi Mo Min'an. Therefore, if the Liao army took refuge, what benefits would it get.

Although at present, Sun Ji is no longer the commander of the Guards Division. But he has been in the army for many years, and he still has many descendants in the army. It is impossible for these people to be cleared out all at once, so the influence that Sun Ji can exert is still obvious.

And this time he came here, it can also be said to be a signal. That is the Liao army, and it is not optimistic about the Great Liao. So send Sun Ji over to find a way back.

"Even if it overturns in the future, Liao still needs soldiers to protect it. Then the Liao army is the best! Li Chengji did not beat around the bush and directly stated his plan.

It is also the territory of Liaodi, and the soldiers and horses stationed in the local area are naturally not a few. It was a relatively unfamiliar place for the cathars. In the case that there is a familiar environment and the local Liao army can play a role, it is naturally best for the Liao army to continue to garrison.

However, the control of the army, Li Chengji must be in control. And after a certain amount of reorganization, some useless people were eliminated. and then rushed into some of the soldiers and horses of the apologetic army, so that the local attributes of the Liao army were diluted.

In this way, it not only reassured the Liao army who took refuge, but also reassured Li Chengji.

Hearing this result, Sun Ji was still quite satisfied. Although he knew, Li Chengji must have other moves to keep the Liao army loyal to the apologetic army. But as long as they keep their position, it will be enough.

The two brothers, Ba Rahei and Ha Mi Bu'er, who were sitting behind them, listened faintly, but they didn't make a sound.
