In order to avoid further turmoil in the situation in various places that had just been restored, Yang Guang instructed Pei Yun not to rush to catch the silverfish who were stationed in the Buddhist monasteries in various places and forcibly collected money and grain from the people on behalf of the original land owners of the Southern Chen period, but to wait until the representatives of the Buddhist monasteries from various places who were invited to participate in the Thousand Monks Association reached a consensus on this issue before taking action according to the situation.

Ten days passed, Pei Yun came to report to Yang Guangyu, and the people he sent to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to find the whereabouts of Monk Dujing reported one after another, but none of them found Dujing's whereabouts, which made Yang Guang feel faintly uneasy in his heart: This Dujing monk with peerless martial arts should not have been instigated by his disciple Xiao Rushui to go down the mountain to try wrong.

Although he felt uneasy and anxious that he had not found the whereabouts of Monk Dujing, with the arrival of monks and nuns who had been invited to participate in the Thousand Monks Association from all over the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Guang had no time to worry about other things, so he could only concentrate on the Thousand Monks Society.

According to the topic of the Thousand Sangha Association discussed by Yang Guang and Master Zhiqi (Wise Man), the main problem to be solved in this grand meeting of Buddhism is the problem of offering to tens of thousands of Buddhist temples in various parts of the Yangtze River. It can be officially implemented by Yang Guangchuan to order the state and county government offices to implement it according to the plan.

On the day of the Thousand Monks Meeting, nearly 1,000 monks and nuns wearing robes and coming from hundreds of large-scale Buddhist temples all over the south of the Yangtze River slowly walked into the lecture hall in Tiantai Temple, and sat down in two compartments, and a grand meeting of thousands of monks with an unprecedented scale in nearly 100 years officially opened.

After being elected as the host of this event, Zhiqi first introduced his new disciple to the representatives of monks and nuns from all over the country, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and invited Yang Guang to give a speech.

Although Yang Guang worshiped Buddhism, Master Zhiqi remembered that he had a special identity, and he was still the vassal king of the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was authorized not to shave his degree, nor did he have to wear monk clothes every day, so he came to participate in the Thousand Monks Meeting today, Yang Guang only wore a white brocade robe, even so, it was very prominent surrounded by monks.

Hearing that the master wanted to say a few words himself, Yang Guang did not refuse, stood up with his palms together, turned around and bowed to the monks and nuns attending the meeting, and said loudly: "The chief holder has already promised the Buddha, and all the monks and nuns who came to participate in the Thousand Monks Association today are the teachers of the general holder, and in front of all the teachers, the general holder has no more words, but only promised to the teachers that all the matters decided by the Thousand Monks Conference will be personally supervised and implemented by the local governments one by one, so as not to make hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns in the south of the Yangtze River hungry to worship the Buddha and visit the Buddha." ”

A middle-aged monk from Jiankang Linggu Temple immediately got up and said to the monks and nuns attending the meeting: "Fellow monks, poor monks and Taoists, Xi is the abbot of Jiankang Linggu Temple, Jiankang County, where our temple is located, has implemented the uniform field system not long ago, and each Ding Zhuang has been allocated 100 acres of land from the imperial court, of which 80 acres are used as Yongye fields, and 20 acres are divided into fields, which can be passed on to children and grandchildren. Although the Juntian system was implemented not long ago, the believers who came to the temple to worship the Buddha and incense have expressed their willingness to take out money and food to worship the monks and nuns in the temple. Therefore, the poor monks thought that the imperial court implemented the uniform field system in Jiangnan, and it was not only the ordinary people in Jiangnan who benefited from it, but also those monks and nuns in Buddhism. ”

Daosheng's remarks immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from monks and nuns from Jiankang, Guangling, Jingkou and other prefectures and counties that had begun to implement the Juntian system, and everyone praised the imperial court for implementing the Juntian system, which not only enabled the people in Jiangnan to have land to plant, but also brought more offerings to Buddhist temples.

Seeing that the opening of the meeting was gaining momentum, Zhiqi struck while it was hot and announced the plan for the Buddhist temple to be conferred in advance by him and Yang Guang for discussion among the monks and nuns attending the meeting.

The monks and nuns attending the meeting were overjoyed when they heard that the imperial court was going to divide the fields for the monks and nuns of the Buddhist monasteries to cultivate for themselves, and they all expressed their approval of the plan proposed by Zhiqi to divide the fields, and only a few representatives of monks and nuns from remote areas proposed: "Given the shortage of manpower in the Buddhist temples, can you ask the imperial court to allow the Buddhist temples to lease the land to tenants for cultivation?" ”

Considering that there are still a large number of silverfish living in Buddhist monasteries, if a precedent is set for allowing Buddhist monasteries to sublease the land they have been allocated to others, it may bring about all kinds of consequences that go against the original intention of Juntian, so Zhiqi Jing discussed with Yang Guang and decided to partially accept the suggestions of these monks and nuns, revise the individual clauses in the plan to divide the fields, and strictly limit the conditions for the Buddhist temples to lease the land to be divided.

Most of the representatives of monks and nuns who put forward this proposal were based on the fact that the Buddhist temple where they were located was short of manpower, and seeing that Yang Guang and Zhiqi did not veto their proposal, they were already grateful, and they dared to make any more non-shareable demands, so they also raised their hands to approve the plan for dividing the fields proposed by Zhiqi.

Thousands of monks will pass the division of Buddhist temples in various places, basically solve the problem of long-term offerings of tens of thousands of Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River, and then transferred to the study and discussion of the essence of Buddhism, nearly 1,000 monks have been encouraged by the successful solution of the problem of offering to the Buddhist temple, all of them have multiplied their spirits, and the discussion of the essence of Buddhism is also extraordinarily enthusiastic, and the discussion has been tireless for three days.

Seeing that the success of the Thousand Monks Meeting was far beyond his previous expectations, Yang Guang had an idea and proposed to the monks and nuns attending the meeting before the end of the meeting: Can the Thousand Monks Meeting be designated as a regular meeting for the exchange of Buddhism and the discussion of the essence of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, and it will be held regularly every year?

Yang Guang's proposal received an almost unanimous response, and at the suggestion of Master Zhiqi, next year's Thousand Monks Meeting was scheduled to be held in Guangling.

Without Yang Guang's reminder, Master Zhiqi took advantage of the time during the meeting to send his disciples to communicate privately with the monks and nuns attending the meeting, and agreed with them that each Buddhist temple would clean up the door by itself, and sweep out the very small number of silverfish in the Buddhist temple, and then hand it over to the local government for punishment.

In this way, by holding this meeting of 1,000 monks, it not only solved the problem of long-term offerings to the Jiangnan Buddhist Temple, expressed the great sincerity of the imperial court to respect the Buddha to the Jiangnan Buddhism, but also helped the local government to sweep away the silverfish in the Buddhist temple and remove the obstacles that hindered the implementation of the uniform field system.

Yang Guang was ordered to pacify the south of the Yangtze River a year ago, and it was not until the Thousand Monks Meeting successfully held in Tiantai Mountain that he found a righteous way to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River.
