Zhu Youxiao looked at Song Xiance, and Song Xiance was still pondering carefully after listening to Huang Daozhou's words, analyzing and thinking about the problems encountered, and was thinking about solving them.

After about a quarter of an hour, Song Xiance slowly recounted: "According to Mr. Huang, it is because the land is barren and the people live in poverty that the prevalence of faith is the cause of faith, and faith has changed their way of life, so should we start by changing their living conditions and making them believe in our philosophy of life?" If we can make them live a little better than they used to, will they work with us wholeheartedly? There must be a problem of stratagem here, otherwise it will be counterproductive, there is a saying called 'one liter of Mien, one burden of Mien', there must be a suitable strategy, in order to truly win people's hearts, which requires us to have a thought that they accept, which is considered faith.

"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that if you want to change their beliefs from the beginning of life, you have to start from the people at the bottom, according to Mr. Huang's understanding, in that part of the Western Regions, most of them are barren land, poor people, then there should be countless people who freeze to death and starve to death in winter, then the most important thing at the moment of life and death is how to live, if we can let them live, in the guidance of thought, or the edification of faith, then the possibility of them being assimilated is very great, But this requires a limit, and they must be taught to be grateful and not turn into hatred.

"Now that Wudang's old way is also here, I think we may be able to do this. The first is to build a Taoist temple in the Western Regions, which can be supported by the household department, and then where to stock up on certain food and clothing, and usually to help beggars and merchants who have no food and clothing. In the cold winter, accept the ordinary people who are about to freeze to death and starve to death, and there is no need to let them be fed and clothed, as long as they can hang a life, and then spread our Taoist scriptures and food culture to them. The second is that the first few meals can be eaten by anyone, but if you want to continue to be able to eat a bowl of gruel, you must listen to our Taoist scriptures every day and accept our food culture, otherwise there will be no more food. Maybe there are more stubborn people, you can also let them take care of themselves, don't take care of them if they freeze to death or starve to death, and let their own relatives persuade them. Third, it is necessary to equip a certain amount of force, and the purpose of using force is to deter the stubborn. Because when those who accept our beliefs and food habits will inevitably come into conflict with other people, then we must have our people to rely on force to protect them. In this way, the people we protect will stand with us and then promote our benefits to others on our behalf, which may have a multiplier effect. The fourth is to allocate a certain amount of land or cattle and sheep grazing, and our merchants will give priority and buy their goods at a good price, and cultivate a group of merchants who accept our faith, and then they will propagate it for us, forming a snowball effect and expanding our influence. ”

After listening to Song Xiance's tirade, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but praise in his heart, this is similar to the strategy adopted by Westerners after breaking the customs border defense in the last years of the Qing Dynasty! After the customs border was broken, the Qing Dynasty continued to cede land and pay reparations, a large amount of wealth was plundered, a large number of farmers and merchants went bankrupt, when people were struggling with hunger and cold, survival became their only hope. So the priests who came with the guns became their saviors, and the people who had no firm faith in the first place, in order to live with a full stomach, did not care about anything or understood the difference between Christ Jesus and God. But when these people believe in Christ Jesus, they have to abide by the canons, and they don't worship the ancestral gods during the New Year's holidays, which conflicts with the family, and when they are punished by the family rules and family covenants, there is a church in charge, which has one after another teaching case incidents, which make the court miserable, perhaps it is the strong ancestor worship habit that saved the Chinese civilization and did not let Christ Jesus spread wantonly in the land of China. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao decided that when spreading Chinese civilization in the future, he must respect the habits of local residents, even if it is a little out of shape, it is best not to have conflicts everywhere. Thinking of having a talent like Song Xiance to help Li Zicheng, with Zhu Youzhen's two strokes, the fall of the Ming Dynasty became an inevitable result.

Yiguang Taoist priest listened to the conversation between Huang Daozhou and Song Xiance, and was excited, Taoism has not been able to carry forward on the land of China since the creation of Laozi Li Er, although there are many believers, but it is not as convincing as Buddhism, this is China's own native religion! Now His Majesty the Emperor plans to vigorously spread it to the world, and there is also the support of the imperial court's household department, if it can't be carried forward, it will be pure that these Taoists are stupid.

Yiguang Daoist stood up and made a Taoist salute and said to everyone: "Mr. Huang and Lord Song mean to support the spread of Taoism in all directions, and Poor Dao hereby expresses that he will definitely do his best and will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations." There is also a combination with the traditional Confucian culture, integrated into the Confucian culture, and improved the part of Taoism that is not suitable for transmission, so that the four Yidu will come to believe in our Ming civilization. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yiguang Taoist and smiled, and said: "Old Dao, don't try to expand the power of Taoism completely by relying on the power of the imperial court, I mean that Taoism should be the same as Western Christianity, and develop with its own strength, but I will let Niu Jinxing help you, you can accept donations from merchants, and there is no limit on the amount of newly acquired land, and the army can also help you maintain the safety of the preaching, but the imperial court household department will not allocate a penny for this, which requires communication between Taoism and Niu Jinxing." ”

Yiguang Taoist listened to Zhu Youxiao's words and felt even more happy, because Zhu Youxiao meant that Taoism should serve the emperor, and Niu Jinxing was the emperor's money bag, as long as it could satisfy the emperor's will and help the emperor subdue the people, Taoism could get royal support with great financial resources. Next, a few people discussed how to integrate the essence of Confucianism and Taoism together, and let them find people by themselves, regardless of the great Confucianism and Taoist immortals there, as long as they are willing to discuss this issue with everyone, they can come to discuss it, in short, they must do this matter well.

Zhu Youxiao handed over the issue of faith to these people to study, and after a while, they took the results, but Zhu Youxiao was not too satisfied, so he passed the results of these studies to Li Xin, and explained his purpose to Li Xin, asking Li Xin to make this thing more concise and clear, so that even illiterate people could understand it and be willing to accept it. Zhu Youxiao believes that Li Xin's study of Confucian culture should have a very deep foundation, and he should know more about Confucian culture than he knows from later generations, and he should be more flexible in using it.

After receiving Zhu Youxiao's letter, Li Xin felt that Zhu Youxiao's goal was too ambitious, and let himself summarize, sort out, and finally make a conclusion, which was absolute trust in himself. Li Xin put down the specific affairs of Yunnan in his hand, studied the materials sent by Zhu Youxiao with great concentration, and finally summed it up in a nutshell: the imperial power is bestowed by heaven, and the world saves people; All the people under the world are people; Quiet and inactive, merciful and thrifty; Self-cultivation, holding the sixteen words of simplicity and truthfulness, which means that the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is granted by God, and it is to come to the world to help the world and save people, and all the people in the world are the emperor's people, and they will be cared for by the emperor. He also suggested that Zhu Youxiao invite some people to make a series of small picture books, which can not only make people understand at a glance, but also let children read and write, starting from dolls, so that they can accept the influence of Daming Taoist culture from an early age.

Zhu Youxiao really admired Li Xin's ability to fool people, this matter of faith Li Xin actually knew that he had to start from the baby, to fundamentally expel their original beliefs, and at the same time unconsciously accept the culture of the Ming Dynasty, this is the real cultural erosion, maybe after 20 years, the Chinese civilization will really be popularized in the world.
