Chapter 70: The Conflicts of the Religions
Under the guidance of the little officials, Zhao Ji took a group of iron guards and began to inspect Quanzhou City. Zhao Ji wanted to see what Quanzhou Zhizhou was busy with, so he was in a hurry all the way, so he could only look at Quanzhou City like a horse.
There are many shops in Quanzhou, selling everything, among which the most spices are sold. Zhao Ji suddenly stopped his steps, thinking that if he wanted to go back to Bianjing, he had to go back to Beijing first, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he thought that he seemed to be like the future generations and left his wife out in the cold. Maybe there was nothing missing in the palace at all, but Zhao Ji still felt that he should bring them some gifts.
"Li Xiang'an, do you have a friend? I want to buy something. Zhao Ji turned around and asked.
"No, the Holy Lord's feast the day before yesterday was all used up. However, if you have a passbook, you might as well go there and get some money. Li Xiangan pointed to a money bank not far away.
Zhao Ji will not use the money of the local government everywhere he goes, and he will spend his own money if he needs anything. The day before yesterday, the banquet mountain corps, wine and food were ordered directly from more than 20 restaurants in Keelung City.
"Well, let's go, get some money." Zhao Ji beat his horse and walked to the money village not far away.
There is a pair of couplets hanging on the gate of the bank, the upper link: the business is prosperous and the four seas are connected, the lower link: the wealth is prosperous to the three rivers, and the horizontal batch: the world is connected. The house number is: Da Song Shang League counter, Quanzhou No. 1 store.
Walking into the cabinet hall of the Shangmeng, most of them are big cannibals, wearing green robes, wrapped in green turbans, the headscarves are scattered, completely covering their hair, the fabrics are very expensive Yue cloth, with silver moon knives hanging on their bodies, rings on their hands, they are quite tall, their nostrils are facing the sky, and their skin is dark, which is very different from that of the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty were mostly dressed in kudzu cloth clothes, mostly black, rarely white, with high collars and wide sleeves, their hair tied up high, wearing a high net-like crown, holding a folding fan in their hands, and a sword hanging from their waists.
Of course, the people described here are all merchants, and different classes in the Great Song Dynasty have different clothes, which has strict restrictions. After Zhao Ji's change, the color was relaxed, and all other colors were available except for yellow. However, the style of the clothes and the pictures and texts on the clothes are very strictly restricted, and the styles cannot be the same as those of officials and soldiers, and the pictures and texts cannot appear dragon pythons and other things.
Zhao Ji's soldiers were all dressed in black armor and wore round black steel hats. The generals, the dragon guards, and the fire cavalry, both soldiers and generals, were all dressed in golden armor, wearing golden helmets with a red silk rope like a lightning rod. Zhao Ji's helmet has the highest pointed tip, about ten centimeters high, and the most red ropes. The rank of the soldiers can be seen from the hats.
As soon as Zhao Ji walked into the hall with a group of iron arm guards, he immediately attracted people's attention, but it was not strange. Except for being frightened by the height of Zhao Ji and the Iron Arm Guard, there was nothing surprising.
In the lower right corner of the hall are two tables, and behind each sits a small official wearing a long-winged hat characteristic of officials. These two officials are the people of the Supervision Bureau and the Jiaozi Bureau, respectively, as long as they supervise the operation of the Shangmeng cabinet. In the lower left corner of the hall is the head of the Shangmeng cabinet, that is, the lobby manager of the later generations. As soon as Zhao Ji entered the hall, the three of them hurriedly ran over and bowed their hands. Zhao Ji's clothes, maybe the merchants of the vassal country don't know, but as officials, they all know - the official family is here!
This is not a court, so there is no need to kneel, the etiquette is to bow at 90 degrees.
"Don't panic, I'm just here to get some money. You're all busy! Zhao Ji raised his hand and said.
Most of the merchants in the hall came to withdraw money, and a small number of merchants were feudal merchants who had just arrived in Quanzhou, and they wanted to exchange gold, silver and copper coins for Jiaozi. Now in the Great Song Dynasty, you can't buy anything without Jiaozi. Whoever trades in gold, silver, and copper coins without permission is punishable by beheading.
Zhao Ji walked to the counter on the north side and waited patiently in line. Looking at the table hanging in the center of the hall, he waited for a quarter of an hour before it was Zhao Ji's turn. The Gui watch was a timekeeping instrument of the Song Dynasty, consisting of copper hands and stone discs, and the time could only be accurate to the minute. There are twelve hours in a day, and four quarters in one hour. A moment, almost half an hour in the afterlife.
Zhao Ji handed over the passbook with his head picture and fingerprints, and pushed out a piece of paper and an inkstone at the counter. Zhao dipped his thumb in ink and printed it on the white paper.
"How much does the Holy One have to take?" The clerk at the counter also knew that it was the official family who came, but they were not surprised, they all knew that this official family liked to run around, and he had to patrol everywhere he went.
"A thousand times." Zhao Ji replied.
Soon another bill for 1,000 yuan was introduced, and Zhao Ji signed and signed on it.
Zhao Ji got a thousand guan, a whole thousand copies of the same face value, in his hand, more than ten centimeters high. Zhao Ji has a feeling of being a big money. According to the price ratio, it is equivalent to one million yuan in later generations. In addition to getting a thousand guan, I also got my passbook back. The passbook reads Take 1,000 yuan, and it is covered with a large red seal of the merchant alliance's cabinet.
Zhao Ji shook it in his hand with a mess, there was an inexplicable and wonderful feeling, maybe it was used to ** in later generations, but now it is Wang Xianggong. Looking at Wang Anshi's portrait on Jiaozi, Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and it is estimated that this is the biggest change in the Song Dynasty.
took the money, Zhao Ji didn't have the heart to find the Quanzhou governor, he was an emperor, and it was really against etiquette to be in such a hurry to see an official. Just as he was thinking about where to buy something for his four wives, suddenly a big cannibal ran into the hall and said a few words, and soon the big food merchant in the hall was empty in an instant, and Zhao Ji was inexplicable. Could it be that the Heavenly Fang Sect is going to hold some special ceremony?
"What's going on?" Zhao Ji turned back to the little official who led the way.
"Holy Lord, Weichen wants to sue Yang Zhizhou for the crime of losing his official body." The little official didn't say anything, but they impeached their governor.
"What's your name? Do you know who you are? Your job title is not that of an inspector, and there are things that can be reported to the inspectorate. Impeaching your boss, or in front of me, do you know that you have exceeded your authority? Zhao Ji hated such speculative officials the most, and said dissatisfiedly.
"Wechen Tongguan. Wechen's position is the secretary of the inspection department. Wechen is guilty. Tong Guan originally took the opportunity to behave in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded instead, and he had to admit his mistake.
"Tong Guan?" Zhao Ji said in surprise.
Tong Guan's name, he is too familiar. It was this guy who instigated Song Huizong and broke the Northern Song Dynasty!
"That's not right! Shouldn't Tong Guan be a eunuch? How did you do it? Zhao Ji said secretly in his heart.
What Zhao Ji didn't know was that Tong Guan was a eunuch who entered the palace at the age of nineteen. Tong Guan is exactly nineteen years old this year, but because Zhao Ji has been in Xining for three years, he has dismissed a large number of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and strictly prohibited the recruitment of eunuchs and castration. Therefore, Tong Guan, who was supposed to enter the palace this year, is now a lowest-level official.
"Tell me what's going on?" Zhao Ji also didn't want to ask if this Tong Guan was another Tong Guan. Many times, it is not so easy to distinguish between good and bad historical figures.
"Quanzhou was originally a prosperous place for Buddhism, among which Taoism and Nestorianism were also prosperous, but since the Holy Order abolished the redundant monks, because there were too many people in these three sects who did not understand the scriptures, they were abolished a lot at once. Since then, the religions have declined. Tong Guan said cautiously.
"How so? Looking at other places, the surviving temples and Taoist temples are more prosperous and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The vacant temples were converted into free inns for merchants to rest their feet and make the people very grateful. Zhao Ji said disapprovingly.
In fact, Quanzhou was supposed to be like this, but Yang Zhizhou favored the Tianfang Sect, and most of the followers of the Tianfang Sect were sea merchants, so that the vacant temples were demolished and the chapels were rebuilt. And the followers of the Tianfang Sect, because they are maritime merchants, are literate and hyphenated, and most of them know the scriptures. Tong Guan was still very careful when he said it.
"This is also according to the rules, not partiality." Zhao Ji came to Quanzhou to find some big cannibals to guide the way and form a caravan to go to the West.
"No, Holy, it's favoritism. Because the big food and maritime merchants have money, and when they come to trade, it is a large amount of taxes. Yang Zhizhou was afraid that the abolition of the Heavenly Fang Sect would make the big food merchants not come to do business, which would reduce the tax revenue and affect his political performance, so he favored the Heavenly Fang Sect. Tong Guan said affirmatively.
"Dashi Maritime Merchants not only paid a large amount of tariffs, but also gave interest-free loans to Yang Zhizhou to develop Quanzhou City and expand the port. With the loan and the political achievements, Yang Zhizhou promised to eat the maritime merchants, allowed the Tianfang Sect to preach in the homes of ordinary people, and called on the people of Quanzhou to defect to the Tianfang Sect. Because the Celestials are united, helping the converts and suppressing the unbelievers. And Yang Zhizhou also helped the Tianfang Sect, and whatever case he encountered, he was biased towards the Tianfang Sect. Now Quanzhou and outside are all Tianfang cultists. Tong Guan explained in detail.
"What? So what just happened? Zhao asked.
"There is a Buddhist temple Kaiyuan Temple in the north of Quanzhou, they all know Buddhist scriptures, and Yang Zhizhou has no way to take them. Later, as there were fewer Buddhists, the merits of Kaiyuan Temple gradually fell short of the standard, so Yang Zhizhou forced them to return to the laity and sold their temple to the great food and maritime merchants of the Faith Heaven Sect to rebuild the chapel. The monks of Kaiyuan Temple disagreed, so Yang Zhizhou led the officials to forcibly drive them away, but he didn't expect those monks to be skilled in martial arts. Yang Zhizhou not only did not succeed in driving out, but was also beaten. The soldiers of the joint defense army are not from Quanzhou, and such a thing does not belong to the management of the joint defense army, Yang Zhizhou can't mobilize the joint defense army, so he asks the Tianfang Sect to bring people to help him. Just now, in that scene, it should be that the Heavenly Sect disciples have all gone over to reinforce it. Tong Guan analyzed it layer by layer to Zhao Ji.
"How's the Nestorian Monastery doing?" Liu Qi, the king of Ming, ignored the overstepping and eagerly asked Tong Guan.
"What else, it's been demolished a long time ago. The chapel of the Celestial Sect has been renovated. Tong Guan responded.
"What? These bandits are really too deceitful! Liu Qi shouted, and then arched his hand towards Zhao Ji and said: "We started from Persia, and we were driven by them, driven to the Western Regions, to Middle Earth, and now, we are all on the East China Sea, and they still don't let go." The last general begged the Holy Lord to allow the last general to transfer troops and exterminate this gang of bandits. ”
"Let's go check it out first!" Zhao Ji didn't know what to do. Such a religious problem is a real headache!
Liu Qi is the leader of Mingjiao, and Mingjiao itself is a synthesis of Wojiao, Manichaeism, and Nestorianism, and it is reasonable for Liu Qi to be angry. Moreover, Zhao Ji promised him to let Mingjiao return to the Western Regions.
"Obey the order, the last general will go to transfer troops." Liu Qi, the king of Ming, replied loudly and quickly turned to leave.
Zhao Ji watched Liu Qi leave, his head became bigger, and he secretly said in his heart: "What are you obeying?" What did I say? Could it be that when you encounter such a problem, you will not accept Lao Tzu's management? ”
"Holy Lord, the same door is in danger, and the last general has to take a hand." Monk Aoki arched his hand and said.
Looking at the longing eyes of Monk Aoki and the two Iron Arm Guards of Yigan Buddhism, Zhao Ji waved his hand helplessly. As soon as Monk Aoki left, he took away most of the iron arm guards at once, and only Di Yong, Li Xiang'an and other four people were left with Zhao Ji.
"Di Yong, what do you think about this matter?" Zhao Ji asked Di Yong.
Zhao Ji was also flustered, and now he had a sense of powerlessness, and the emperor couldn't speak. If you really want to kill that Liu Qi, Zhao Ji can't bear it! Zhao Ji was upset!
"The last general will immediately gather the Iron Arm. It is better for the Holy One to go and see it first, and then make a judgment. Di Yong suggested with his hand.
After speaking, Di Yong asked people to send a signal to summon the iron guards who were secretly distributed in various counties in Quanzhou. There are only four soldiers left by the emperor's side, it is too dangerous!
