"The gist of the Pure Land Shinshu of this sect is, first of all, to clarify the meaning of 'original will' and 'dedication'. All sects recite sutras and recite Buddha, but the essence of reciting sutras and reciting Buddha is very particular. In the past, some paid attention to gradual cultivation, and some paid attention to epiphany, each with its own name, and after all, it was impossible to get rid of the way of 'self-reliance'. Only the pro-Luan saint can understand the mystery, how can a person who is longer than the end of the Dharma and the worldly world have self-reliance out of thin air? In fact, it was self-righteousness, and by chance, he sensed the boundless wish of Amitabha Buddha to purify sentient beings, and mistakenly thought that it was his own creation. Is it necessary to be detached after chanting countless sutras? If you don't chant sutras, you can't get rid of them? Not really. When I chant the Buddha, I advocate that after sensing the power of others, the natural behavior is like a young child getting close to his parents. Suppressing one's desires and forcing oneself to practice is a deviation. This is the so-called principle of 'reciting the Buddha's name'. Let's talk about what it means to be 'show up and not retreat'......"

On the main hall of the Changdao Wish Temple, the monk of the Testimony of the Kind Eyebrows and Kind Eyes of the Immortal Wind and Bones was slowly and earnestly inducing, explaining the knowledge to a few young disciples who had just started, and suddenly a middle-aged monk with a fierce face hurriedly walked to the door, knelt down and saluted and said "disturb".

When I looked closely, it turned out to be the important minister of the sect, Lai Cheng.

Like other Buddhist sects in Fuso, some monks specialize in academic studies, while others specialize in practice. The Shimoma clan is the leader of the latter, and there have been no theorists for many years, but there are endless fierce generals.

At this time, Lai Cheng frowned tightly, his expression was serious, as if he was facing a great enemy, he couldn't help but be surprised when he testified, and hurriedly stabilized his mind and said to his disciple: "I am tired today, and I will continue tomorrow." ”

When a few little monks heard this, they honestly retired.

Then the testimony asked outside the door: "Why is the official so careful?" ”

Shimoma Yorisei got up and walked over, took out the folded notice in his arms, unfolded it, handed it over, and replied: "Back to the house, I heard that Oda, Takigawa, Honda and others have issued decrees in Owari Kaisai, Ise Sana, Asaki and other places to check land and build new account books. ”

"So?" Hearing this, the witness gasped, "They are so fast!" We haven't had time yet, so let's take advantage of the chaos to occupy a few more villages! ”

"This must be stopped! In fact, some villagers have already entrusted us to intervene to stop it! Shimoma Yoshinari said categorically: "Otherwise, it will be difficult for our temple to expand in the future, and its power will be limited to the seven islands in the heart of Sichuan." ”

"But it's just right for people to do this." Witness shook his head in distress: "Since the Lord of the Criminal Department gave Zhixing in the name of the shogunate, they do have the right to seize the land, what reason do we have to interfere?" If something happens for no reason, it will provoke the anger of the Hirate family, and Ishiyama will not support it. ”

"If it is a legal land seizure, of course, there is no reason. But-" Shimoma Yoricheng smiled treacherously, and his already vicious face became even more hideous: "But what if someone colludes with them, maliciously apportions, and harshly exploits the people, resulting in a popular uprising?" Don't forget that at the beginning of the year, the Yamashiro Shenzu clan was beheaded for this reason. ”

"What does the official mean......" The testimony instantly understood, and his face turned pale: "First deliberately induce the people to revolt, and then stand up to preside over the order...... It's good to plan for success. In the event of an unfortunate event, the problem is ...... It's hard to clean up! ”

"So, dare to ask if the Yuan family is willing, give up expansion, and sit back and watch these lands around Long Island be firmly occupied by various martial artists?" Shimoma Lai Cheng deliberately asked: "If you are willing, you will naturally have no right to beak as a mere official." ”

"Well......" testimony was silent and undecided. Liang Jiu suddenly said: "This matter should be discussed with Senior Brother Lai Dan, when will he return?" ”

"Senior Brother Lai Dan went to Hokuriku to support supplies, and the ox cart was slow, so at least it needed to ...... It will take about half a month to come back. Yoshinari pretended to calculate for a while, and reported a figure that was not too exaggerated.

"Half a moon? No, no, no. The testimony shook his head again and again: "If you wait for so long, isn't it equivalent to acquiescence and concession?" The villagers will lose faith in us. ”

"That courtyard family means ......" Shimoma Yoshinari made a gesture of inquiry.

"Just do what the official said! I'd rather take risks than sit still! Zhengyi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, lightly hammered on the floor, thought for a while, and added: "I will immediately send someone to contact Shishan and try to get through the relationship between the Heite family as soon as possible." The specific arrangement is handed over to the fang official! ”

"Understood! Please rest assured. "The next room Lai Cheng bowed down and received the order.

……

One hundred and fifty towns (16 kilometers) away, in the Ninomaru Palace in Kobe Castle, Kobe Mori suddenly sneezed coldly, but he didn't care, he just thought it was cold, ordered someone to close the doors and windows, and continued to work with great interest.

He is now full of ambition and prosperity.

A few years ago, Kokufu Morina was only a small lord who could not defeat the Oda family and surrendered on his knees, and was assigned to work under Nobunaga's son Nobutaka, and his position in the small group was ranked outside the top ten.

It is expected that during this period of time, the situation will be unpredictable, and many people who originally had the right to speak were killed in battle or purged, and their seats were vacated.

Kokufu Mori seized the opportunity to accumulate the force of his cronies, and took advantage of the tie to defeat Ise, took the lead in standing up and organizing the wealthy clans of the nearby countrymen, killed the people who obeyed the orders of the Kitabatake family, and jointly invited Oda Nobutaka to restore the throne. took the opportunity to appear on the stage in one fell swoop.,Faintly became a speaker in the Suzuka、Mie、Asaaki area。

After all, the titular lord only has soft power and no hard means, and it is impossible to rule without relying on the landlord snake.

Oda Nobutaka immediately handed over the task of land inspection to the national government Shengzhong, which is equivalent to being regarded as an old and important minister.

From a middle-level samurai with one or two thousand stone knowledge to the position of Zaifu in the territory of one hundred thousand stones, it can be said that it is a very good development, and there is a chance to continue to rise with the main family in the future.

It would be better if there was an opportunity to replace the main family......

All in all, congratulations.

I don't have much knowledge of the local tyrants and the prosperity of the national government, but after the baptism of Oda and Tieshou, I also know in my heart that the establishment of centralized power that goes deep into the grassroots is a necessary way to strengthen the army and restore the country.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the matter of land seizure.

Of course, he also understands that the villagers will not be easily obedient and will require a lot of effort. In view of specific problems, it is possible to coerce each other with force, induce each other with benefits, persuade each other with reason, and move each other with emotion...... And so on and so forth, all the ways are under consideration.

Although the government is rich in power and the desire for power is getting heavier and heavier, it has no intention of taking the opportunity to accumulate money, and carefully drafts the charter, not preparing to leave much room for "drifting" and "consuming" - of course, even if you want to, you may not have the ability to do it.

In fact, the thought of having to deal with a bunch of numbers makes my scalp tingle, and I can't find anyone around to share it. You can only make up for it first, and then slowly adjust it when it is actually implemented in the future.

He exhausted himself, forgot to sleep and eat, and used up his modest intelligence, quickly wrote a draft and handed it to Oda Nobutaka for approval.

The latter only replied with the line "What is said is very good, please do everything".

I don't know if it's out of absolute trust, or if I am forced to let go of power because I know I am powerless?

In any case, the government was so complacent about this that he quickly ordered someone to post the announcement.

It is also emphasized that it was signed by Oda Nobutaka and the national government Shengzhong!

At this time, it was not that no one reminded him to pay attention to the actions of Nagashima Prayer Temple, and beware of happiness and sorrow.

However, the government thinks this is a blind thought.

His response was: "This land inspection is only carried out in ordinary villages, and it does not infringe on the right of any temple to not lose or enter." And what reason is there to be upset at Nagashima Temple? If there is any involvement, it can only mean that they are illegally occupying the land, and then it is not me who is worried. ”

In the national government, Oda Nobutaka's sovereignty has the endorsement of the tie family, which is peace of mind, and he has always been a monk, and he can't make any variables.
