In people's impression, temples are quiet places, pilgrims worship the Buddha, monks hold rituals, and there is little earthly philistine atmosphere. But China's royal temple, Daxiangguo Temple, tells everyone who has visited that a quiet place has nothing to do with it. Before crossing the crowd, it was the usury financial center, high-end textile industry center, small commodity wholesale center, and catering street of the entire Great Song Dynasty. In addition to the traditional incense money and ritual income, the temple is exempt from rent, the 'longevity money' (interest) obtained from loans, and the income from the production of various consumer goods and food services.

Naturally, the more specialized, intensive, and large-scale traversers should give full play to the innate advantages of the social hubs of Japan's major temples and build the bridgehead of the commodity economy to the temple farthest away from the ideology of the feudal small-scale peasant economy. If the cost is too high in the countryside and too much resistance in the towns, only the temples with a certain degree of autonomy can shelter the young seedlings of the market economy.

In Japan, which had not yet been fully feudalized, the lords of the manors and feudal lords everywhere were eager to obtain all the good things on their territory, and they would not give up without taking taxes and pumping them to the extreme. Four public and six people is delusional, and the starting point is six public and four people, that is, a tax rate of 60%. Under this premise, the temples were made free or low-tax, a paradise for merchants and workshop owners. Only 5% of the estates of the temples and the Heijia were taxed on the territories controlled by the people, and some large temples were exempt from taxes for certain industries, so both agriculture and handicrafts developed rapidly.

Temples are the origin of all commercial activities, just as the Temple of Parthenon on the Acropolis of ancient Greece is the city's commercial treasury, and the commercial origins of all civilizations have the shadow of various religions. King Solomon's temple was a treasury, Mecca was a center of commerce, and the temple was a combination of trust and power in ancient times. Even Buddhism needs to be supported, and without a huge income and expenditure, how can we develop our faith?

It is only when Japanese temples have a GDP weight that surpasses that of Chinese temples that they have a say in politics. The wealth of countless believers is the confidence initiated by the successive mountain masters, the original intention of crossing the public to stop is to create a relaxed environment for better development, I did not expect the favor of the deep emperor, the evil monks who organized and launched a strong lawsuit (armed monks and soldiers on Luo Fabiao) are all in order to seek greater interests, attack the imperial court for various reasons, and achieve the purpose of blackmailing the imperial court by agitating public opinion, creating momentum, and coercing public opinion.

With the support of the traversal people, there is no need for the various monasteries that were originally big to get what they want by launching a forced lawsuit, and the power of the major monasteries has not only made a leap through the injection of huge financial resources, but the major Zen monasteries with a large increase in the number of believers are simply a copy of many feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty. Japan was a loose and decentralized state that had not yet completed feudalization, and even in the Kamakura shogunate period 100 years later, the central government had no control over the regions outside Gyeonggi, especially the eastern region. These temples in the eastern part of the country became fortress-like strongholds, surrounded by urban buildings such as handicrafts and shops that attracted them, and these temples selected by the people through the crowd were all located in the center of the later towns with convenient transportation, and the temples in the barren mountains and mountains were sifted out.

According to the plan of the Crossing Crowd, these temples will be the core and seed of the towns of the future, and each temple will almost grow into a prosperous town with a population of more than 10,000 within ten years.

Edogawa Castle is a hub built by the Taira family to connect many temples and national defense forces in the eastern country, where almost the entire eastern country elites and handicraft masters are gathered, although the inner castle in the center is a copy of the inner castle tower that appeared in the Warring States period in the later generations, but the outer castle is a modern town built with donations from subordinate temples under the control of the people, complete sewers and road systems, and the funds consumed are an astronomical amount for Japan, whose gross national output value is only 50 million Chenji, Fifty times more than the inner city built by the Hei family. Edo Castle, which took Kanji ten years to complete, cost a staggering 700,000 taels of gold.

This figure is 100 times the annual income of the Heiankyo Imperial Court in Japan before the founding of the country. All the Japanese forces who obtained the exact number were amazed at the financial and material resources of the many temples, and the Heike were directly impacted, and even the children in the family could see that the country had cultivated a more powerful agent than the Heike in the economic field. If it weren't for the fact that the Heike held all kinds of power in the western country and the central government, and the Praetorian Guards like the samurai in the north, they would have been scared to death a long time ago.

Emperor Shirakawa struggled every day with the choice between centralization and decentralization. Centralization is for one's own possessiveness, decentralization is for the sake of enjoyment, and it has become a difficult problem to choose the pleasure of possession and domination or to choose enjoyment and ease and comfort. In the eyes of the Emperor, the old rival Fujiwara Kita has completely become a microphone and ornament, and there is no threat. The loyal Heimasasheng could not threaten him, and although the northern samurai composed of the sons of the princess were complex, only he could give them the opportunity to soar, so he was very loyal. Although the Taira clan was rich, he had no prestige and political prestige, and it was impossible to threaten him. As for the old troubles such as the mountain mage, they have almost disappeared under the arrangement of the traversal. The Emperor, who had no rivals, finally chose to relax and enjoy. A lot of land was acquired as a royal domain (directly owned by the royal family), and after the income increased significantly, he began to relax and enjoy.

However, the political situation in Japan did not change by the will of the Emperor, but by the will of the people. The situation in which the imperial court was originally dominant and overrode the imperial court gradually transitioned to the separation of the samurai group headed by the Heike family, the Shirakawain Temple, and the Zen temple group, so Japan began to show signs of division.

The Emperor began to indulge in extravagances that far surpassed those of previous emperors, and a large number of grand buildings and palaces continued to appear in Heiankyo, and the ministers followed suit, as did the growing trade income and tax revenues he enjoyed. But no one saw a terrible group of butchers standing behind the prosperity, and the Emperor and the ministers of the court lived in the shadow of the golden shadows, living comfortably and elegantly, and there were plenty of drinking parties, banquets, singing and dancing performances and competitions every month.

After reaching an understanding with the Imperial Shrine and many old shrines, the Buddhist temples in Kyoto began to slowly integrate the ancestors of the emperors and famous ministers enshrined in many shrines, giving them Buddha names, and began to engage in the fusion of gods and Buddhas that eliminated Shintoism. The Emperor only knew that giving many emperors honorific titles and Buddha titles would only strengthen his status and glory, but he did not see the sinister intentions behind it. The emperors of all generations were the descendants of the Shinto chief god Amaterasu, and they were all demigods with godheads, and they all had a very high status among the people. Once he became a Buddha, he became one of the many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism, and lost his dominance as the supreme god, which was equivalent to being absorbed by Buddhism. This situation is just like Zhang Xueliang, as the son of Zhang Zuolin, the president of the Beiyang government, who was appointed by Jiang Guangtou as vice president, and the result is of course known to everyone.

The four seas are promoted to the level of natural samurai, there is no place for the samurai, and the status will not rise, and the Ping clan began to slowly transform into a minister who holds power, and the samurai taste on his body is slowly cut away by all kinds of bloodless swords and sword shadows. Coupled with the influence and guidance of the Crossing Public, the Taira clan and many lower-ranking samurai families slowly began to transform into capitalists and big merchants. The samurai who were engaged in business began to gain fame and prestige because of their wealth and large alms to the temple. What was previously coveted through fighting, killing, death, and grief can now be obtained by doing business and starting all kinds of money-making industries, and it is natural that they will never tire of it.

The Emperor was also possessed by Emperor Ling of Han after gaining a great fortune through the sale of titles and various newly created ministers to samurai and new merchant tycoons.

The temples that had died down made a fortune in silence naturally accumulated huge wealth and power in silence, and began to transform into behemoths that controlled the political situation and deposed the emperor. Through teacher-student relationships, employment relationships, feudal retainers and lordship relationships, and Buddhist sectarian origins, the Crossing Crowd controls more than 50% of the elite and backbone of the new generation of young Japanese Buddhist monks. These people who have real influence are either intellectuals and technologists who have received compulsory education and advanced education schools run by the students, or senior staff members of their industries, or a bunch of courtiers who have volunteered to contribute, or they are the backbone and key training targets of the Zen branch faction.

These 'impure' monks are not yet ubiquitous in Japan, but the network of operations should cover most of Japan's land. An archipelagic country of 300,000 square kilometers is slowly moving towards an unknown capitalist future, driven by the Travelers.
