When Zhou Huai'an saw the old monk Yixin again, he saw that the sad wrinkles on his face were piled together, and he was about to drip water.

"Please also ask the righteous army to save me, and many monks in Nanling will save me."

The old monk Yixin sighed heavily, folded his hands and bowed in a deep voice.

"Why did the old monk say this?"

Zhou Huai'an shook his head and said,

"Isn't this a matter that you Zen Sect made up by yourself?"

"The old man knows that his sins are inevitable, and since the noble official has already grasped everything, please be a little more forgiving to those who have nothing to do with it."

Yoshishin said a heavy sigh that did not change, bent over and very low

"I also want to save the golden body of the six ancestors, and the old man should be grateful and repay him for the title of the ring in the next life."

"Why would I do that?"

Zhou Huai'an looked at him with a smile and said.

"Anyway, it's the scum of Buddhism that provokes the right and wrong... Just sit and watch you die and clean up the mess. If you don't deserve to die, you have to die.,Wouldn't it save time and worry.。。 ”

"Your official raised heavy troops and stood in the mountains, naturally he turned the storm and did nothing."

Yoshinobu still said in a deep voice.

"It's just that the poor monks see that the noble officials acted in the past, and they were all lenient and strict, and they were not forgiving to the poor people, so why didn't they let these outsiders have some way to live."

"No, no, you have to understand what you bald asses are worth it for. Instead of choosing the simplest and most worry-free result. ”

Zhou Huaian shook his head and said.

"I never expect future lives but only the causes and losses of this life. Or do you, who claim to be outsiders, want to completely escape and stay out of things when they have been supported and worshiped by the world? ”

"This... Forgive the old man for being stupid, and ask your official to mention one or two. ”

Yoshishin's folded skin twitched, but his heart was slightly relieved; Since the other party has asked for something, it means a little turnaround.

"As long as the ancestral court and the legal lineage can be preserved, the old body will naturally come out."

"So you don't have to say anything to repay in the afterlife, just use your service for the rest of your life as a reward."

Zhou Huai'an is confident

"In addition, if the Zen disciples want to coexist and be safe under the rule of the righteous army, I need you to make three chapters of the law."

"Please also show me. That's it."

Yoshishin's short figure became more and more rickety, as if he had bowed his head slightly as if he had accepted his fate

"You must personally take the lead in advocating the "Baizhang Qing Rules", which is the key to the unification of the rhythm of Buddhism outside the mountains."

"It should be so, Baizhang Zen Master is virtuous and pure, and the Dharma is profound, and the old man has been admiring it for a long time, and he is willing to attach himself to the righteous army with his strength, so that the world can widely practice the essence of this Buddhist rhythm."

Yoshinobu agreed very calmly and simply.

"In addition, you must stay in Guangfu to compile the scriptures, restrain the various Zen forests under the name of Guangfu monks, and be called to contribute at any time."

"Shanye, where is the old man, it's not a practice, and it's my wish to revise the scriptures, just to restrain the Zen forest and contribute to the righteous army, and this nominal monk will be exempted."

Hearing this, Yoshishin nodded, but said pleadingly.

"That's a bad word, do you think I'll be relieved to let a guy who doesn't speak rightly act under my rule?"

Zhou Huai'an glared at him without anger.

"Well, then follow the nobles."

Righteousness is like a broken jar and a broken astead.

But they did not know the third covenant. And how? ”

"I will order the unification of the monastery and the monks' places in the land of the mountains, and in the future, if there are monks, they must report to the permission of the rebels, and once they are found to be unregistered, they will be punished."

Zhou Huai'an continued slowly.

"This matter must be publicly stated and approved by you, and you must take the lead in emulating it."

"I will also set up a Buddhist college, with you as the first teacher, and gather the great virtuous people, so as to open a convenient door to preach and teach."

In the end, Zhou Huai'an threw out a sweet date

"But all the compilation of scriptures and textbooks must be verified by the rebels. It is also advisable to help the poor and help each other as the first purpose. ”

"The corresponding monks must do things in the righteous army, and teach Li Shu to open wisdom for several years to enter the WTO to practice, before they can register in the monastery where they are registered."

After saying goodbye and going out to find an old monk with a sad face, Zhou Huai'an laughed with some tricks.

Of course, he didn't plan to wipe out all the Buddhism in Lingnan or overturn it with a rod; In fact, this kind of thing that has been inherited for a long time and is rooted in the people can only be banned on the surface but cannot be completely eradicated.

Even in the modern society, where material abundance and science were extremely prosperous, things like Buddhism continued to flourish. In fact, as long as there are unknown things in the world and inner demands beyond the reach of man, faith is an existence that cannot be eliminated and replaced;

Therefore, Zhou Huai'an can only use his stern and resolute attitude to win the dominance and interpretation of the corresponding field; And this old monk of Yixin who came to the door by himself is obviously a part and an important part of it;

At least in this era of extreme scarcity of the spiritual world of the people at the bottom, in addition to the limited entertainment (propaganda) measures that the rebels can provide, there is also a need for a reformed version of Buddhist faith with anesthetic and comforting effects as a means of filling and buffering the soul.

on the other hand, it is the result of propaganda effectiveness and a sense of substitution; As a propaganda method of the rebel army of foreign forces, if one or two sentences of subordination and approval of local eminent monks and great virtues are added, it will also have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort when accepted.

In addition, there are a large number of large and small bald heads, although the practice is the Dharma and the recitation of scriptures, but the foundation of literacy and reading is still there, and one person is given a textbook of official style, and he can be sent to those cantonment granges in turn, and take turns to serve as teachers for enlightenment education;

Even if one month is set aside every year for the base of so many heads, according to the number of twelve people, as a fulfillment of obligations under the rule of the rebels, it is still a considerable amount of teachers;

Of course, in terms of specific content, it is necessary to eliminate the negative parts that are too negative, or basically do not act for the afterlife, and other places that contradict and conflict with the concept of the rebels. And the fact that each person only takes their turn to stay in different locations for one month a year also ensures that a particularly lullable presence leaves too much influence in one place.

As for the other follow-up parts, Zhou Huai'an also wants to transform and influence all the young monks who still have some conscience and enthusiasm through cruel reality education, so that they can become a useful member of the rebel army. Of course, this will be a long process of interaction.

After dealing with this matter, Zhou Huaian wanted to go back to the back house to relax for a while, but he was stumped by a message sent by sex.

"Tell the leader, transfer Colin to work on sending documents,"

An agent who stayed in the department said in a low voice.

"The coal ship from Annam has arrived at Xixia Port and is waiting to be unloaded."

"That's very good."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Quickly arrange the transfer, and make the corresponding deployment plan with the development room."

This is the site of the largest and most high-quality coal mine in Southeast Asia. The cost of open-pit mining is extremely low, even if the cost of bringing it back through the sea canal - the Tamphong Canal does not increase much; Moreover, it can be used as ballast for ships returning to Annam, with some sea transportation attached.

With the initial basis for these deliveries, the next step is to promote coal as a fuel on the out-of-ridge sites. Don't underestimate this humble coal, which is regarded as the blood and catalyst of the early industrial revolution in the development of modern history, just as the steel industry is the bone that supports the industrial revolution; It has an indispensable effect on improving the factory cluster in Nanhai County that is now mainly engaged in iron smelting.

After all, this is a high-quality anthracite that can be used directly in boilers and steam engines for later generations. By replacing traditional charcoal and bamboo charcoal in the smelter, operating costs will be further significantly reduced.

From a small point of view, the implementation of coal for people's livelihood can effectively replace, and the traditional common fuels such as firewood and grass with poor thermal efficiency and insufficient stability are much cheaper than similar charcoal and other medium and high-end fuels; In addition to the labor and freight costs of distribution and forwarding, the price of 100 catties of coarsely crushed coal is about 100 yuan. It is only 10 to 8 times the same weight of charcoal, and 2/5 of the (sun-dried) firewood and grass, which provides a much higher heat conversion.

is the so-called "white charcoal thousand catties, when the money is fifteen; Black charcoal thousand catties, when the money is three hundred Wen. "One quintal of firewood (200 catties), worth 400 Wen" can also be further processed into derivative products such as briquettes and coal stoves with a higher and more stable thermal efficiency ratio.

Therefore, it has a very wide range of folk popularization value, and can also maintain water and soil vegetation in disguise and further promote hygienic and healthy living habits. Moreover, unlike what most of the cheap keyboard politicians on the Internet who "why not drink boiled water" and "the ancients had no hygienic habits" think,

In ancient times, most poor families did not want to drink boiling hot water, but most of the time firewood and grass, which was used as fuel for daily life, were not so easy to obtain, and required corresponding time and energy to collect and cut down; Therefore, the basic needs of heating and cooking can only be prioritized, and the thirst can be quenched by drinking raw water such as river water or well water directly in the daily life.

Therefore, even in the Lingnan region, where the climate was relatively hot in ancient times, the potential demand and market for cheap fuel has always existed, and the scale is huge.

Of course, in view of the fact that most of the people at the bottom in this era have a strong inertia for the old habit of helping the old one step by step, as well as the lack of sufficient psychological and realistic risk tolerance for new things; At present, it is only intended to be carried out in various tuntian offices that have good execution and have initially formed universal obedience, and then it will be carried out in batches in the cities.

As for the local people, after seeing the convenience and benefits of the corresponding "welfare", they will naturally try to learn and apply it; The so-called things that cannot be obtained or are scarce are the best trends in people's hearts;

If we blindly or wishfully want to impose these "good things" on them through administrative means, these people who have suffered so much will doubt and worry about the intentions and intentions of those in power, and secretly reject and resist them will achieve half the result.
