Chapter 1005: Debate
Zhang Fei went to Jiangdu, Liu Lan was looking forward to capturing Zhou Yu at the last moment, but he also knew in his heart that there was not much hope, after all, his opponent was Zhou Yu.
In the past few days in Guangling County, Xuzhou civil officials have come one after another, and a big debate between Confucianism and Buddhism is about to be staged.
But before that, the first meeting gave Liu Lan a special headache.
Since the envoy Liu Xiang Zhang Zhao went to Xiaopei, saw a group of commercial prosperity, the county people actually mostly to business, which is completely contrary to the sage education, for this he wrote down the policy of recovering the well field, he first cited the side, all the peasant uprisings, including the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were blamed on the pre-Qin Shang Dynasty abolished the well field. Although there are countless Confucian sages have been trying to solve this problem, but it has always been difficult to restore the well field, because the land in the hands of the people and clans for a long time, it is difficult to recover from its hands, but the minister this time after visiting the counties of Xuzhou found that this problem has been solved, since the Cao thief invaded Xu, the people of Xuzhou or died in the war or displaced, the land has no owner eight or nine times out of ten, the Lord Justice can take this opportunity to restore the well field system, then the people of Xuzhou are very happy, the people of the world are very happy!
Those present such as Chen Qun and Guoyuan thought that today's discussion was related to Guangling County and even Buddhism, and they thought that Zhang Zhao would mention the restoration of Jingtian, and they immediately came out to oppose it.
They first affirmed Zhang Zhao's proposal to restore Jingtian, which was completely unexpected by Liu Lan, but after all, they were all Confucian scholars, and none of them thought that one day they would be able to restore Jingtian's system in their own hands, although they were all Zheng Xuan's apprentices. But this kind of thinking is deep-rooted, otherwise there would not be only one Zheng Xuan in this world.
Just when Zhang Zhao was smug and thought that Jingtian could be implemented smoothly. Chen Qun's words changed, and he said to Liu Lan that although Xuzhou now seems to be the best time to restore the well field system. In fact, it is far from so easy to restore the well field, if the lord forcibly executes, it will even cause the people of each county and county to rebel against the Mufu, causing the people's resentment to boil, and the devastated Xuzhou will be hit again.
After Chen Qun published his opinion, Guoyuan also came out in solidarity, he very much agreed with Chen Qun's statement, and believed that the best way now is to start measuring the land in Xuzhou, and it is important to investigate the amount of land occupied by each household, and then evaluate them together with the displaced people. If there is more labor at home, there will be more land allocated, and if there is less labor, the land allocated will be reduced accordingly, so that the labor and the field industry are consistent, so that both the original Xuzhou people and the displaced people will gain the ability to support themselves, and the wealthy people will not be able to make a profit from the excess land.
In addition, now that the imperial court Shaofu Temple has lost the right to manage the mountains and lakes of Xuzhou, the lord can divide it equally among the people of Xuzhou or send officials from the pastoral government to collect a small amount of taxes, and so on. Every family in Xuzhou can profit from this, and it will not be long before Xuzhou will surely recover from the devastation of war.
After some debate, it is self-evident what choice Liu Lan made, not to mention that even if no two people came out to oppose Zhang Zhao today, Liu Lan would not agree to restore the well field system. How can the products derived from the slave society of ancient times be used in the present and forced to be pressed to today's people?
The matter of Ida was settled in the voice of Guoyuan's words. But then his words made waves again.
Chen Deng's new official took office, and there was another ballad. He was very busy, so after Guoyuan arrived in Guangling, he resumed production and organized farming. But he found that the situation in Guangling was far more complicated than he imagined.
"The people of Guangling are not engaged in farming because of the Hu religion, and they know that the Buddha cannot be delayed, and the lord can no longer delay." Guo Yuan said excitedly.
Liu Lan nodded and said: "I know this, Buddhism has flourished since its own integration, the people believe in Buddhism, and the people have become monks with light farming, which not only harms the morals but also adds to the burden, but now that the people are like this, is one size fits all really a solution?" ”
Liu Lan asked himself, and Chen Deng obviously had his own ideas, and said: "Hoover harms the people of Guangling day by day, and although it is difficult to deal with Hoover's harm now, he can follow the example of the sages, and persuade the people to abandon Hoover and buy ploughing cattle to cultivate the blessings of this world instead of the next life!" ”
Chen Deng has always been not aware of Buddhism, only heard that Hoover harmed people, after all, it was rumored to be miraculous among the people, and he was half-convinced, until the recent contact was considered a thorough understanding, the deeper his understanding of Buddhism, the more eager he was to destroy the Buddha in Guangling.
First of all, Hoover's arguments are too absurd, but these absurd arguments are particularly easy to deceive the common people. Second, the so-called death of a person is destroyed, how can there be reincarnation in the next life, and not cultivating the blessings of this life but thinking about the next life is simply self-deception. The parents of the body and the skin, go to the hair and become a monk, do not marry relatives and do not have children, it is contrary to human morality, it is a great unfilial piety, and the Buddhist monks do not do production, do not pay taxes and do not serve, which is not beneficial to the governance of the country, and this is the third. Moreover, there has been no Hu religion since ancient times, and the Ming Emperor came out; And the Hu religion is in the Rong side, and the Hu religion is really turning the summer into a disaster.
With these points, Chen Deng naturally did not allow Hoover to exist in Guangling, otherwise he would not be able to educate the people in the future, and since he was the Guangling Taishou, then he should go and do things for the people, and he was willing to do it, even if it was hard to persuade monks to serve the people, but he believed that as long as he was willing to do it in this world, there would be nothing that could not be done.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, since you have talked about the destruction of Buddha, it is better to invite the abbot of Puci to come and discuss whether Buddhism should be destroyed or limited!" After Liu Lan finished speaking, he ordered Xu Chu to invite the abbot of Puci, and soon Puci came to the front of the hall, the monks in the world, the monk's clothes were nothing more than black clothes (tie clothes), green clothes, and brown clothes, and Puci wore a red monk's robe that symbolized the Han Dynasty, which was the magic robe given by the imperial court to the monks who had attained the Tao, which was rare.
After sitting down, he knelt straight in front of the table, put his hands on his knees, and said solemnly: "Today's scene can't help but remind Lao Qu of Hoover's theory before the Son of Heaven. Lao Wei thought that it was not, otherwise, since Emperor Ming came, why would Shimen be able to spread from the imperial capital to the four realms of the Han Dynasty?
In Lao Gao's view, no matter what the origin of the Shimen is, no matter how he teaches in Rongfang. Zhou Kong is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the Zhou Kong.
As soon as this statement came out. There must be an uproar, and you have this reaction. It can be known how many attacks the old man in the Golden Palace was attacked back then, in fact, it was not only Confucius who was puzzled, but even the disciples of the Liberation Gate were also suspicious, and the old disciple Pujing asked me, if it is true that Zhou Kong is the Buddha, and the Buddha is Zhou Kong, then why is it only the Buddha to kill and the Zhou Confucius Sect not to kill it?
In fact, this is the same as the world's misinterpretation of my liberation of the door of the sage of the meaning of the sage, is the sage murderous?
The saint has no intention of killing, and killing is really the ambition of the people. It is the saints who will see people fighting each other. Even in the case of the jackal, it turned to the second, so that there was a misunderstanding of the world not to kill, in order to save one to save ten, to know its importance, this is the original heart of the saint.
And how similar is this to my liberation, my liberation sect focuses on inner education, first of all to understand its original heart, and Zhou Confucius is social governance. From this point of view, from this point of view, Lao Qu said that Zhou Kong is the Buddha. It is reasonable that the Buddha is Zhou Kong, after all, although Confucianism and Buddhism are not of the same stream, the starting point and purpose of the two schools are the same.
But it was in front of the Son of Heaven back then. Lao G's rhetoric ushered in a more ferocious attack, and the focus of it was nothing more than five points. (1) It is said that it is large and has no signs; (2) The suspect dies and there is no afterlife; (3) Doubt about seeing the true Buddha. It is not beneficial to the rule of the country; (4) Doubtful that the ancients could not be taught, and the Ming Emperor was close to him; (5) Doubting religion in Rongfang, turning non-Chinese customs.
Among these five points, the focus of the debate is mainly on whether filial piety is violated, and whether people die or not.
First of all, to talk about whether the monkhood violates filial piety, the old man believes that the Buddhist monk's monastic practice is to take the path of standing up and doing the path of eternal light, which is not only not filial piety but the greatest filial piety.
First of all, most Confucianists, especially scholars, do not believe in ghosts and gods, from Confucius's saying that they worship ghosts and gods and stay away, and the son does not say that the strange power is chaotic, but the paradox is that Confucianism recognizes ghosts and gods, which can be seen from the worship of heaven and earth and ancestors during sacrifices.
In particular, the prevalence of theology such as Wei Wei and I Ching in the Han Dynasty aggravated Confucianism's belief in ghosts and gods, but whether it was Wei Wei or I Ching, it eventually became a means of political speculation for people with intentions, and the so-called ghosts and gods became a means used by some people with intentions to deal with the emperor, so that the emperor was afraid, especially for the clan, after all, the world of your Han Dynasty was helped by these people, if you do anything wrong, you are sorry for your ancestors, so this ghost worship has become the emperor's letter, the people's letter, and the Confucian scholars are respectful and far away.
Then the question arises, whether the god of death or the god of death of man is immortal has become the biggest focus.
Especially when talking about this matter in front of the Spirit Emperor, you can know how the ministers of the palace reacted, and no one dared to say that the ghosts and gods were not credible for a while, otherwise the ghosts and gods they had been instilling in the Spirit Emperor were not contradicting themselves?
But at this time and that time, the court of the year was not the county guard of today, and the world of the literary scholars of the year was not the world where Confucianism prevailed today, the doctrine of ghosts and gods is getting farther and farther away, the cultivators are heavier, and there are more and more atheists, such as the Cui Yan family is a typical modern literature, but now it is an out-and-out god destroyer, so when you hear the so-called immortality of God in Buddhism, you don't believe it at first, let alone those more mysterious past lives and future lives, only to repair this life is the important thing, and to believe in Buddhism to cultivate the blessings of the next life, Not only will this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing not get any benefits, but it will even affect the governance of the country because becoming a monk does not need to pay the poll tax, can Liu Lan understand such an obvious risk? But why did he let Pu Ci come to the council hall to say this, could it be that Liu Lan intended to be a Buddha from the beginning?
Such a thought came to the minds of many people, and for a while, the entire conference hall became quiet, and the pins could be heard.
After a long time, Chen Deng, who had a sickly face, finally couldn't be silent anymore, if this happened elsewhere, he could be silent like Chen Qun, just watch a good show, but after all, he was the county guard of Guangling, since it was about Guangling, he couldn't be silent, and he couldn't be silent.
"The lord does not say that the gods are destroyed, only that half of the people of Guangling are monks, and do not produce, although this is the disaster of Rongrong, but can not escape the fault of the liberation door, since the lord has appointed the lower officials to guard the county of Guangling, it is urgent to destroy the Buddha and persuade the monks to return to the lay to engage in production, the lord can touch to forget that the locust plague in Yanyu and the two states is raging, if you really enter the territory of Xuzhou, try to ask so many monks in Guangling are not enough to protect themselves, and where to allocate grain to support other counties?"
Chen Deng said the most urgent thing today, but Zhang Zhao has been sitting on the wall and watching, from beginning to end Buddhism has never entered his eyes, even if Guangling is fierce, it is also a relative Xuzhou realm, but from the whole world, Buddhism is still insignificant, not to mention that Liu Lan will not really plan to Guangling to accommodate the Buddha, otherwise why are so many temples demolished? Of course, he also did not deny that Liu Lan planned to accommodate the Buddha, but what about leaving one or two Buddhist temples symbolically, so ah, from the moment Liu Lan recruited Puci to come to the council hall, he understood Liu Lan's thoughts, otherwise he could have allowed Puci to make a big statement just now?
And Xu Shu, who never interjected, frowned slightly, so many monks in Guangling is what he is most worried about now, originally made great efforts to attack Guangling, what is important is that Guangling has not been affected by Cao Cao's military disaster, the population is large and the tax is sufficient, it is now a large grain-producing county in Xuzhou, as long as Guangling County has a bumper harvest, then Xuzhou can be guaranteed, but he still underestimated the destruction of Zhenrong in Guangling, which made them plan in advance to rely on Guangling County to relieve the disaster The idea was completely ruined, and even had to make great efforts to restore Guangling production, And some subsequent plans have to be postponed or even adjusted.
If it is from a personal standpoint, he very much agrees with Chen Deng's proposal to destroy the Buddha, but if it is from the position of Liu Lan's Xuzhou military advisor, he hopes that Liu Lan will simply hand over this matter to Chen Deng, so that Xuzhou is tantamount to losing a heavy ambition and having more spare energy to do other things, and Guangling, he is convinced that with Chen Deng's ability and the strength of the Chen family, it will inevitably become a rich county in a few years.
No matter in any case, even in the territory of Xuzhou, where Confucianism is monolithic, there will inevitably be a large number of interest groups, at this time they are not considering their own interests, in fact, this debate between Confucianism and Confucianism has changed from the beginning, but just like Liu Lan considered when he negotiated with Guan Yu in advance, no matter how this matter is calculated internally, but the primary spearhead is still against the Buddhists, not to mention that the Xuzhou Mi family did not come today, and Xu Huang and Tian Chou of Liaodong are not there, even if they come, In the same way, on the basis of opposing Buddhism, they will strive for more benefits on their own side.
And now that Chen Deng has said everything in his heart for everyone, it is time for Liu Lan to take a superficial attitude.
Although everyone already knows. (To be continued.) )
