Chapter 473: What Should Religion Do?

Chapter 473

Zhejiang is very lively in September.

The continuous rain, although it is not too big every time, however, the water level of the entire Yongning River system is still rising, and this impact starts from Weiyu Mountain, continues to radiate outward, and gradually spreads throughout Zhejiang.

Relatively speaking, Lao Cai set up a platform next to the Yongning River and prayed for rain in the sky, and Yang Shangjing, a young James, also spread out his earnest teachings on water conservancy.

In general, the whole of Zhejiang, as well as the nearby provinces of Nanzhili, Fujian, Jiangxi and other provinces, have spread to varying degrees, and Yang Shangjing and Lao Cai instantly added a touch of mystery.

It's so sour.

The officials of the nearby prefecture and county, I heard that the Taiqing Guan thief on the Weiyu Mountain here is particularly effective, one or two, regardless of whether they believed in Taoism or Buddhism before, they all rushed over to worship and learn the advanced Taoist posture.

And Lao Cai's current status is naturally rising, three days of two-headed retreat, whether you can see Lao Cai, is completely a matter of fate, and it's very clear in many conversations that Lao Cai is just a pearl of rice, and it is difficult to compete with Shao Zhan Yang Shangjing, who is in the sky, and he can have today's achievements completely by relying on Yang Shangjing's strong leadership and wise guidance.

That's the big truth.

However, in these days, the last thing others want to believe is the truth.

You Lao Cai is such a dick, he Yang Shangjing can create an old Cai in a few words? Are you kidding! He is not a contemporary Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion...... No, it's not right to teach real people in the contemporary era, and the real people in the heir sect are not so stubborn!

So in the face of the questions of the court officials of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Cai could only show the style of fairy wind and bones, and there was an unfathomable smile - these people are simply a bunch of pigs, if there is no Yang Shangjing to carry him, now he Lao Cai is still studying gunpowder in a small workshop in northern Fujian.

Pretending to be a ghost? Revered by all the people? Good felling that doesn't exist?!

Of course, another attribute of religion is that it is a political broker, the big guy comes to visit Lao Cai, and wants to get a little fairy energy, enter an incense, put on a table or something, this is the pursuit of spiritual destiny, and everyone must pay attention to a material pursuit.

After all...... You have to grasp it with both hands, and both hands must be hard.

If you can live a good life by pointing to the spiritual destination, everyone is still a hairy official, Tao Yuanming, who does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, is everyone's spiritual mentor, how good it is for a guy to go to the countryside to "pick chrysanthemums under the east fence", not only can you drink some chrysanthemum tea, but also can you "see Nanshan leisurely"!

Therefore, after many officials finished offering incense on Lao Cai's side, they felt that they hated each other, and then left the Taoist priest and soaked a pot of bird's tongue in Lao Cai's guest room, and began to discuss the teachings of the sage.

What the? It's not good to talk about the teachings of Confucius in the Taoist temple? Don't make trouble, Confucius once asked for a gift and Lao Tzu, both have a master-apprentice relationship, it's okay, the three religions turned out to be a family!

After a few rounds of discussion, basically the foundation of each other has been figured out, and at this time, it is time to further understand each other, and if it is not necessary to further understand, it proves that the political views are different, and everyone should get together and disperse.

As for the rest of the conversation, it won't be good if it is placed in the Taoist temple, after all, there are many people, and if the true law enters the six ears, it will be a matter of breaking the rules.

So these people rolled their eyes, ran to the bottom of the mountain, and in the original Huang family's old house, which is now the Huangyan County Library, they got some tea and snacks, and began to chatter.

Otherwise, posture is strength, and improving literacy is a ladder that human beings cannot enter.

This school can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are not any people in Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but even if they listen to lectures every day, the level of posture is not high, at best, it is the level of ordinary patrol and defense of thousands of households, and they don't understand what these officials are talking about.

There is no way, Yang Shangjing's school education, especially for the children of the common people, is mostly focused on the two words of literacy, and what is it, and when the children of the people are literate, they play with things like thousand-character texts, three-character scriptures, and hundred family names, and the children of military families are all nine chapters of arithmetic.

There is no such categorization...... No matter how awesome Yang Shangjing is, he has to be sprayed half-naked by the clear streams, and the gangsters in the outer court can't protect him.

After Yang Shangjing, who was in the Yamen to deal with military affairs, received the news, his expression changed from surprise to silence, and from silence to excitement.

That's a good thing!

Although there are now Yang Pu and others in the foreign dynasty to set the tone in a high place and help him Yang Shangjing sweep the formation, but the local area is too far away from the center, and there are too many levels of separation, and there will be no problems between various bureaucrats and in the general political direction, but the specific interests are still different.

Needless to say, when Sanyang was in power, there were all kinds of small frictions between Sanyang, let's just say that now, there is a subtle difference between Sun Yuanzhen, the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu, and Yu Qian and Tingyi, the right attendants of the military department who patrolled Henan and Shanxi.

Not to mention that the two belong to the same cabinet sequence, and their personal relationship is not bad, but in terms of politics, there is still a gap between the political demands of the two, Yu Qian and Yu Tingyi are more radical than Sun Yuanzhen, so the low-level bureaucrats around the two people naturally have a subtle camp division.

This is also the reason why there is no absolute side in officialdom, only a conflict of relative interests.

Lao Cai's "manifestation" this time directly gave the lower-level officials a good opportunity to bypass the factional disputes at the top level and directly make trouble in the local area.

"In this year, don't think about making up dramas like Southeast Mutual Insurance, it's all for nothing after the Civil Fort." Yang Shangjing grinded his teeth, stood in front of the desk with a smile on his face, and wrote the words "Dao Ke Dao is very Dao", but his eyes were full of cold light, "But starting from the low-level bureaucrats, it is not a problem to directly have an official community of interests in Jiangnan?" ”

The scholars in the southeast are a community of interests, but you can't put it on the table, it's like "the imperial power is not under the county", on the bright side it must still be "the whole world is not the king's land", and at the official level, there must be "who sits on the dragon to support whom", so the local officials who rely on the snort of the local scholars have very little contact.

But with such a "living immortal" as Lao Cai, it seems to be ...... to clarify the relationship between official and private interests It's not that difficult.
