But Liu Tai can't say anything, after all, Zheng Yuan's current status in the Ancestral Sect, except for the Honorary Great Elder, is not appointed by Liu Tai, it is all spontaneously formed by the Ancestral Sect personnel, what can Liu Tai say? Could it be that officials are not allowed to disturb Zheng Yuan?

If so, wouldn't it chill Zheng Yuan's heart?

Liu Tai naturally understood Mowen's unease, so Liu Tai asked Mowen to lighten it on the spot to relieve Mowen's unease about Zheng Yuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In fact, over the years, Mo Wen is the most honest among many officials, not greedy, don't want to, don't do more, unless Liu Tai orders, there will definitely not be too many requests.

Although such an act will definitely make Mowen a bit corrupt, but any monarch, including Liu Tai, wants such a sincere person to do what he should do, and don't think about what he shouldn't do, don't think about it.

Only such an official can truly reassure the monarch!

Under the Honorary Archelder there are twenty-one Missionary Archbishops.

The Missionary Archbishop is distributed in the nineteen states of Dahan. At present, including Zhuya Prefecture, Tianxi Prefecture, and Yizhou, the territory of the Han Dynasty already has a full twenty-one prefectures and counties! These 21 prefectures are Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, the original thirteen states and the new Longzhou, Nanmengzhou, Beimengzhou, Xizhou (Western Regions), Yongzhou (divided from Liangzhou, counting the new prefectures and counties), Zhuya, Yizhou, Tianxi Prefecture and eight prefectures and counties.

Although it is said that Yizhou and Tianxi Prefecture are not within the scope of the imperial court's governance at present, due to Liu Tai's request, the ancestral religion has branches in these areas, but the bishop of Yizhou and the bishop of Tianxi Prefecture are elected by Liu Bei and others, after all, they are also worried that Liu Tai will insert the ancestral personnel into Yizhou and Tianxi Prefecture and overthrow their rule.

The twenty-one Missionary Archbishops are equivalent to the state bishops of the past, and their main responsibility is to preach and collect some religious information from the local people, and they have no other rights! In order to assist the missionary archbishop, of course, there are also reasons for dividing the power of the original state bishop, Liu Tai has set up twenty-one law enforcement archbishops!

Originally, the state bishop established by Liu Tai not only held the responsibility of preaching, but also the power to enforce the law. In this way, the power of the state bishop will inevitably be excessive, and there will even be a phenomenon of guest bullying during this period, that is, the state bishop will use the power of the local government to do some illegal things.

Now Liu Tai has divided it into two, which can greatly weaken the power of the bishop. As the name suggests, the law enforcement archbishop is, to a certain extent, to restrain believers and monitor the illegal behavior of bishops in various places, generally speaking, if the bishop commits a crime, the ancestral religion can deal with it itself, of course, if the ancestral religion does not deal with it, the local government will intervene.

The existence of the law enforcement archbishop is responsible for dealing with some obscure things for the Holy See, and it is good to say that in the Han Honzhou region, such as Longzhou, Mengzhou, Tianxizhou, Yizhou, Shanyue, Nanban and other places, the law enforcement archbishop is responsible for cleaning up some "crooked and heretical!" There is no such thing as cleanliness anywhere, and even if it is an ancestral religion, there are dirty places.

At present, in the ancestral religion in the Tianxi Prefecture area, in order to purge the infidels, the right to enforce the law of the archbishop is very large, of course, there are also the help of Sun, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and others, in order to spread the teachings of the ancestral religion to these areas, and Sun and others themselves are loyal believers in the ancestral religion, all of which add up to make the purge go very smoothly.

As the saying goes, if you want to rule a region, you must first brainwash the people of its region. This is what the ancestral sect is doing at present, although it is full of dirt and blood, but Liu Tai didn't say much, to be honest, for the sake of the nation, what if Liu Tai bears a little crime?

However, after all, the teachings of the ancestral religion are wide, although it will purge some extreme infidels, but in fact, it will not force the local people to believe in the ancestral religion, unless the behavior of the local people really affects the development of the ancestral religion, otherwise, even Liu Tai will not allow too bloody things to happen.

Wars between religions are often bloodier than wars between nations!

Under the Archbishop of Law Enforcement, there are also County Missionary Bishops, and County Level Law Enforcement Bishops. Because there are so many people here, it is inconvenient to count. On the whole, however, their authority and nature are no different from those of the Archbishop of the Ministry and the Archbishop of Law Enforcement, except that the scope of his mission and law enforcement has been greatly reduced. And below the county level, there is a county level, and the situation at the county level is the same as the county level, so it is inconvenient to say more here.

Under the county level, there are township priests and village priests, in fact, although the names of the township priests are different, there is still no difference between their powers and positions at the county level and county level, and they are still divided into two governance, one preaching, one law enforcement, and the village priest under the township priest, because the scope is relatively small, so the two-in-one system is implemented, and only one person serves as one.

It is worth mentioning that although the original system has changed, the voting system is still retained, and on relatively large issues, the voting system must be implemented, and no matter is allowed in the ancestral religion, even if the archbishop of the ministry and the archbishop of law enforcement are united, there will be no arbitrary and dictatorial thing, of course, except for Liu Tai, the pope.

The current reform of the ancestral religion, because of its relatively large scale, has indeed touched a large part of the interest groups within the ancestral religion. Don't think that Zujiao is a religion and there is no benefit at all, you must know that although Zujiao is Liu Tai's ruling "tool", it is actually not within the scope of the imperial court's governance.

In the ancestral religion, it is also advocated that the people donate money and food!

Although it is said that the people in some areas cannot donate money and grain because of living reasons, some large households during the period can still bring a lot of money to the ancestral religion every month and every year, as for the areas in northern Xinjiang that have already restored the people's livelihood for many years, not to mention the money they generate, the alms received by the ancestral religion every year can be counted as a real astronomical amount, and even exceed the taxes of several states and counties of the imperial court!

How can such a terrible money be without a good management system? In fact, as early as Liu Tai's thoughts, the money and food donated by the people to the ancestral religion should be included in the household department, but there are too many powerful relationships, so Liu Tai can only give up, and so far, there is no good management system!

Because of the nature of the ancestral religion, it is inevitable that most of the money and property will be donated even if it is collected, for example, if a certain place is affected by a disaster, the money and food collected by the ancestral religion will even be transferred to the local disaster relief before the imperial court. In this way, it seems that the situation of the ancestral religion is a bit chaotic, there is no good supervision system and management system in the middle, of course, there are also reasons for insufficient personnel, if it is obviously inappropriate to let those missionary archbishops and law enforcement archbishops to manage, so this matter has not been arranged.

Of course, this matter must find a solution and a unified management system, it is impossible to go on like this for a long time, after all, there are too many donations received by the ancestral sect every year, and before Liu Tai ascended the throne, Liu Tai had ordered Xun Yu and others to come up with a good solution.

Xun Yu and others submitted to Liu Tai in the compromises put forward a number of methods, at present Liu Tai has selected three methods, one of which is to select some trustworthy and reassuring personnel from the current ancestral religion at all levels to form a charity hall, although the charity hall belongs to the ancestral religion but the reading power is outside the ancestral religion, not controlled by the high-level personnel of the ancestral religion, so that the dispatch of money and food in the charity hall can be guaranteed to the greatest extent is not controlled by some people with intentions, of course, it is impossible to completely read the charity hall, as the saying goes, the thieves or the family thieves are the most difficult to prevent.

In addition to the reading power of the Charity Hall, the personnel of the household department and the criminal department of the imperial court, as well as the figures at the level of honorary elders and above, have the right to supervise. Just overseer! Oversee the whereabouts of all kinds of money and donations collected from the major branches of the ancestral religion.

This is the first method, because there is not enough time, so Xun Yu did not write a careful charter. The second plan that Xun Yu provided to Liu Tai was to completely incorporate the donations of the ancestral religion into the household department, and the household department would set up a department to manage it, so as to avoid the problem of insufficient personnel to the greatest extent.

However, if this is the case, the burden on the household will be too heavy and heavy. Liu Tai can trust Xun Yu, and knows that if Xun Yu carries this burden, there will definitely be no mistakes, but Xun Yu is also a human being! Now that the imperial court is in ruins, almost all the burdens are on Xun Yu's body, and Xun Yu's health has not been good recently, how can Liu Tai be willing to do this?

crushed Xun Yu, and in the end it was Liu Tai himself who cried!

The third plan provided by Xun Yu is to manage and account for all donations by the branches of the Ancestral Religion, and their accounts will be handed over to the General Hall of the Ancestral Religion for supervision, and every expenditure must be voted and approved by the local personnel at all levels of the Ancestral Sect Branch, and as for the custody of money and food, it will be managed by the local missionary archbishop and the law enforcement archbishop!

Although this method seems simple and straightforward, there is a big problem in it, that is, there is no supervisor and no systematic process! If it is only handed over to the Archbishop of the Ministry and the Archbishop of Law Enforcement, is it not a complete mess? If all the departments come to fill their pockets, then the Ancestral Sect will really become a dirty place.

Don't think it's impossible to fill your pockets, you know, the number of these so-called donations varies very much, and even if it is less, no one knows, it is impossible for every person to donate how much money to autograph and indicate how much, right? And the bishop, who is the administrator of the local ancestral religion, is fully capable of making some changes in this regard

The money never came to them, so this matter may not happen, but once it is left in their pockets, they will naturally want to take a little out of it for themselves, which is human nature, so the last of the three plans provided by Xun Yu was obviously crossed!
