Chapter 40: The New Structure of the Daomen
Well, the vendor has been annoyed by this group of curious babies asking "Don't ask any more questions, I'll tell you all at once"
"After the unification, the Daomen Association is a complete organization, and the highest position is Tianzun, which is nominated by the thirteen elders of the House of Elders, voted by all Taoist priests, and then sealed by His Majesty's decree."
"Usually, what is the matter of the Daomen is decided by the thirteen elders of the Elders' House by a joint vote, and the minority obeys the majority, but if Tianzun feels that the resolution of the Elders' House is incorrect or is not good for the Daomen and the country, Tianzun has a veto power."
"Tianzun implements a lifelong system, and is only responsible to the Daomen ancestors and emperors, so in the future, everyone must cherish the vote in their hands very much, once you choose an irresponsible Tianzun, it is not only the Daomen who are unlucky, but also everyone"
"In addition, the thirteen elders of the House of Elders implement the last elimination system, and implement the system of evaluation every five years, in the fifth year of the evaluation, if which elder has the lowest evaluation score, I'm sorry, please leave, and the person with the most outstanding performance in the past five years will be on top."
"As for who is the most prominent person, hehe, you still need to vote again, okay, the above is the basic framework of the high-level of Daomen, let's talk about the welfare of Daomen that everyone is most concerned about, first of all, let's not talk about money, that thing is vulgar, let's take a look at the clothing after the unification of Daomen"
As he spoke, the vendor took out a few plastic dummies, these dummies were all wearing clothes, and when these clothes appeared, even Wang Lao Dao was not calm, and the old man fell in love with the most beautiful one at a glance.
The hawker gave a thumbs up to the old man under the table, the old man looked at Tianzun's clothing, because Tianzun was the highest position, and there was only one person, so the hawker in the clothing was customized according to the luxury of the dragon robe, completely modern materials, with black as the main color on behalf of the Taoist tradition of respecting water, which was dotted with noble purple gold, sometimes mixed with some green or red, not like other clothes sagging under the constraints of gravity, but there was a kind of impulse to want to go to the moon for nine days after wearing it.
In addition to clothes, Tianzun's hat is a kind of hat commonly known as the lotus crown, from which you can see that Buddhism seems to have learned the habit of Taoist priests to worship lotus flowers, but Taoist priests are with heads!
Today, the hat made by the hawker is completely in line with a pair of wind eyes before and after, ten thousand methods are collected and hidden, Qibao Ling is all traced, and Kunlun has a light on the top, which is particularly eye-catching.
Finally and the most special, the other dummies are all dressed in clothes and hats and nothing else, but Tianzun has an extra fan in his hand, and the fan is open, for this fan, the hawker is distressed for several days, the whole fan is completely made of golden silk nan gloomy wood, the black fan body is dotted with golden spots, if you look carefully at those golden spots are shaped, a dragon coiled into the word "free" makes people admire the magic of nature, the fan pendant is not bad, the best ice jade carved into a gourd shape, It is engraved with Tai Chi gossip!
After seeing Tianzun's appearance, many of the old men present who had a relatively high status in the Dao Sect secretly swallowed their saliva, if they could wear this dress in this life, even if they died immediately, it would be worth it.
Except for Tianzun's special shape, there is not much difference between the others from elders to ordinary Taoists, but they have some more things that Tianzun does not have, such as a gossip-shaped badge on the chest of the dummy as far as the eye can see, which Tianzun does not have.
Moreover, the cuffs of the clothes on several dummies are engraved with yellow Qiankun and silk charms, and those who understand the meaning of these yin and yang symbols can see at a glance the status of this person in the Daomen.
gave everyone a quarter of an hour to observe, and the vendor knocked on the microphone again, "Okay, everyone has also seen the new clothes of Daomen, I don't know if you have the above opinions now?" ”
The people present were silent, all of them were frightened by the hawkers' generosity, which also complained about them, not that no one wanted to do this before, but the limitations of productivity made them unable to realize even if they had ideas, not to mention the rest, take the cloth of this time as an example, you must know that because of the reason of our book, the cloth of the early Tang Dynasty in the official history is money, and it is completely used as money, so you can see that Li Er gave someone a hundred silk horses or something, which means giving money.
But the hawker is different, you want to say that modern society lacks morality, lack of money, lack of daughter-in-law, we believe, you want to say that no one is poor and can't wear clothes, you beat him to death eight times, he doesn't believe it, not to mention ordinary fabrics, it is leather, you see how many years the yellow crane has been running, and now the streets and alleys can still hear the shouts of dealing with leather goods.
So when the hawker asked everyone what else they had to say, everyone shook their heads and joked, if there were any opinions, it was definitely because they went out and were kicked by the donkey after being squeezed by the door, and they were caught up in the rain and their brains were watered.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, the matter of uniform dress is decided, and in addition, there is one more thing to unify after the unification of the Daomen, which is also the main reason why Elder Wang initiated the conference this time."
The Taoist priests stopped making noise this time, and quietly listened to the hawker's speech, "Elder Wang hopes that everyone will unify the scriptures."
Ooh! If the hawker proposed to unify the costume or something just now is four twos, and now Ya has thrown out the two kings, this is not a chance to breathe at all!
A Taoist priest wanted to stand up and ask a question, but the vendor directly pressed it down, "Listen to me, I know what everyone means, it's nothing more than that there are already many scriptures in the Daomen, why do you want to unify the scriptures again"
Seeing that everyone nodded, the peddler began to ask rhetorically, "I want to ask you, who can memorize all the scriptures of the Daomen without mentioning the content, even by name?" “
"This...."The Taoist priests began to look at each other, isn't this Nima embarrassing, from the appearance of the Daomen to the present, the sages including the scriptures that are being written now are no less than 10,000 books, who the remembers all the names!
Looking at the reaction of the crowd, the hawker knew that the time had come: "Look, this is the crux of the problem, everyone is a Taoist priest, and they still can't understand everything after decades of reciting scriptures day out, not to mention those ordinary believers, how do you make them understand the Tao?" ”
"All, when I first came to Datang, I hoped that the old Taoist would take the lead and write a new scripture, the format of the book is not important, the important thing is to list all the things that have happened in the Daomen since Pangu opened the world, whether it is a story or a legend, so that ordinary people can understand it, so that even the drooping children firmly believe that their blood is flowing with the inheritance of the sages of the Daomen, is it still a matter for the Daomen to carry forward?"
Hiss... This is the voice of the Taoist priests present except for a few Taoist priests who have been following Elder Wang, and even the emperor sitting next to him couldn't help but grin, if the goal of the hawker is achieved, then it will be difficult to say whether the Tang Dynasty will be called Li Tang or Dao Tang in the future.
What Li Er thinks of the peddler has no way of knowing, the only benefit of preaching in the Tang Dynasty is that the old Li family recognizes Li Dan as an ancestor in order to paint gold on his face, which is also the reason why the place where the meeting is held today is called Zongsheng Palace, so seeing that the avenue of the ancestor can be spread all over the world, Li Er's heart is happy again, at least after the Daomen spreads, he will correct Li Tang's name again!
So thinking of the happy place, Li Er ignored his identity as an emperor, and raised his hand like a primary school student, and the peddler reached out and made a gesture of invitation after seeing it, "Your Majesty has something to say, please speak" (to be continued. )
