In fact, the main purpose of Yan Xueyi's inspection was the submarine of Jiangnan Shipyard, and he went to Shencheng Shipyard to have a look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Yan Xueyi returned to Longcheng, he set his sights on the Ministry of Rites, more precisely, the newly established Religious Administration of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites, also known as the Ministry of Culture, is a "small ministry" and the ministers are not included in the cabinet.

The Ministry of Rites was only responsible for various large-scale sacrificial ceremonies, as well as the inheritance and dissemination of traditional Chinese culture, and finally made all the citizens of the empire accept Chinese culture.

Now the Ministry of Rites has one more power: to manage the religions and religions in the empire.

The Chinese Empire entered a stage of rapid development, and Yan Xueyi finally had time to deal with the religious beliefs of the people of the empire.

In every dynasty and every generation, the issue of religious belief needs to be paid attention to by the rulers, and there have been many "Buddha extermination incidents" in Chinese history, because Buddhism at that time had too great an impact on the country and society, and if it continued like this, the country would not be a country.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the Han Dynasty has always regarded Confucianism as the foundation of its state, and other religions other than Confucianism (mainly Buddhism and Taoism) are generally based on the emperor's likes and dislikes of Buddhism and Taoism at that time, and adopt a policy of using or excluding or both.

As a matter of fact, the purpose of exploitation, exclusion, support, and restraint is to maintain the rule of the ruling class and "sit on the throne for peace in the world." With the continuous consolidation of state power and the continuous perfection of the state apparatus, the management of religious affairs has also been continuously improved.

As early as 401 AD, with the widespread spread of Buddhism and the increasing number of monks and nuns, the Later Qin Dynasty selected and appointed monks and officials from among the monks to assist the government in managing the affairs of Buddhist monks and nuns.

The main tasks of monks and nuns are: to compile the household registration of monks and nuns, to formulate the structure of monasteries, the quota of monks and nuns, to distribute degrees, to appoint subordinate monks and abbots of temples, to preside over important activities of building monasteries, statues and translating scriptures, to manage the daily life of monks and nuns, and to deal with illegal incidents.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui rebuilt Honglu Temple, and set up three offices: the pawn, the master of ceremonies, and Chongxuan, of which the Chongxuan Department was in charge of Buddhism and Taoism, and the early Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system; In the Ming Dynasty, the autocratic politics was highly developed, and the central government was in charge of religious affairs by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites set up the Department of Monks and Daolu to manage the country's Buddhist affairs and Taoist affairs; After the Qing Dynasty established the capital of Beijing, the central and local governments generally set up temple and monk yamen and Taoist yamen to manage the affairs of Buddhism and Taoism, and the official positions were basically inherited from the Ming system.

This shows that the dynasties attached great importance to the jurisdiction of religion within their borders.

The Chinese Empire does not restrict the beliefs of its citizens and allows freedom of belief, but it cannot allow religion within its borders to "do whatever it wants", and must be strictly controlled.

In China, there are two main types of religion, one is orthodox and the other is evil. Teach.

Let's talk about evil first. Teaching, evil. Religion is a religion that uses means such as creating and disseminating false reasoning and heresies to confuse and deceive others, develop and control members, and endanger society. Religion, once each dynasty and generation find their traces, they will send troops to encircle and suppress them, and if they are left unchecked, they are likely to threaten the rule of the country.

When the Chinese Empire ruled the land of China, the evil . Teaching is already rare.

The orthodox religions are mainly Buddhism and Taoism, and in the history of thousands of years, the two are still tenaciously surviving, and Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are all over the country.

The Religious Administration of the Ministry of Rites of the Chinese Empire was mainly responsible for managing all matters of Buddhism and Taoism.

In the latest "Regulations on the Administration of Religion" issued by the empire, it is clearly recorded that anyone who wants to become a monk or a Taoist must first obtain the consent of his relatives, and before becoming a monk or a Taoist, he must first learn and practice scriptures from a teacher, and after being recommended by the master, take the examination, and those who pass the pass will be issued a special ID card for Buddhism and Taoism by the Ministry of Rites in order to become a qualified monk or Taoist.

Of course, after becoming a monk and Taoist, it will not be over like this, the monk and the Tao must have the appearance of the monk and the Tao, and must abide by its rules and precepts, one precept to kill, two precepts to steal, three precepts to adultery, four precepts to lie, five precepts to drink, six precepts to incense, seven precepts to sit and lie on a high bed, eight precepts to eat out of time, this is just a relatively simple precept, the strict precepts of the monk and the Tao are enough to have hundreds, this is not listed by the Religious Administration, but the precepts of the Sangha and the Tao itself.

Since the Sangha and the Tao themselves have such precepts, then the Sangha and the Tao must be strictly observed, and once violated, they must be punished, if the Sangha or the Tao kills, steals, fornicates, lies, or drinks, it is a crime of one more degree, and not only the identity of the Sangha and the Tao must be removed, but also punished, and it cannot be tolerated.

In the next few years, the Religious Affairs Administration will send staff to all large temples and Taoist temples in the empire, and small and medium-sized temples and Taoist temples will also have special personnel to patrol them, and set up a reporting mailbox, no matter who finds that monks and Taoists have violated the precepts, they can report it, and the Religious Affairs Bureau will give a certain reward to the whistleblower.

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it is just to provide ordinary people with a belief, or a spiritual sustenance, many people who are in difficulty in life or have unsolvable sorrows in their hearts will look for such a spiritual sustenance, and finally make themselves lost in the dream world of their own construction, in fact, the problem is still not solved.

In fact, Yan Xueyi does not like the existence of any religion, whether it is orthodox religion or evil. Religion, I feel that these religions are all using language to confuse ordinary people.

Sangha and Taoists do not need to work, they only need to rely on one mouth every day to obtain the worship of believers, and they themselves have no "creation", just like moths in society.

In fact, in addition to Buddhism, Taoism and other religious beliefs, there is a special belief exists, that is, the ruler of the country of faith, so that the ruler becomes the spiritual sustenance of ordinary people.

Ordinary people believe in Buddhism and Taoism without any change in their lives, and even ask them to dedicate their meager income under the bewitchment of monks and Taoists.

Rulers who believe in the state are different, as the rulers of the country, they have the ability to bring about changes in the lives of ordinary people, at least it is still possible to let ordinary people live a life of abundant food and clothing.

Yan Xueyi, as the supreme ruler of the Chinese Empire, there are countless people who believe in Yan Xueyi, at least in the Siqi region, there are tens of millions of people who regard Yan Xueyi as their belief in their hearts, and the soldiers and students of the empire are fanatical in their eyes when they look at Yan Xueyi, and they can die generously for Yan Xueyi.

With the comprehensive and rapid development of the empire, the life of the people of the empire is getting better and better, and there are more and more people who believe in Yan Xueyi, and even many people directly enshrine a banknote printed with a bust of Yan Xueyi.

And secretly, some of the "miracles" revealed by Yan Xueyi have been passed on by word of mouth, and the more widely spread they are, the more exaggerated they become, and the most widely circulated one is: The emperor is the emperor of the heavens, with a golden body, mortals can't kill the emperor, and the evidence is that the emperor Shang Zi, after many assassinations, is still safe and sound.

Under the strict provisions of the "Regulations on the Administration of Religion", there will be fewer and fewer people who choose to become monks and Taoists in the future, although Buddhism and Taoism will not die out quickly, but without believers and believers to provide offerings, temples and Taoist temples will slowly not be able to persevere, the state will not subsidize, and the scale of Buddhism and Taoism will gradually shrink, and finally ......
