On the eighth day of the first month of April, the white rainbow runs through the sun.

On this day, Luo Fo, the lord of the Northern Sect of Luojiao, published the "Mahayana Key Sutra" and "The Treasure Sutra of the Superior Orthodoxy Removing Doubts and Cultivating the Evidence" at his own expense, and engraved 10,000 copies in the Baowen Hall.

Has anyone questioned him as a cult? No, Luo Fu is not only the head of the sect, but also the general of Caoyun and the chief military officer of Jining, Shandong Province, his preaching is grandiose, and there are quite a lot of believers, even many fathers-in-law in the palace are believers in Luojiao, not to mention anything else, but just look at him in Baowentang to engrave scriptures to know, what is Baowentang? At the beginning, he was in charge of the engraving of the royal scriptures, and now the proprietor Fan Jiadan is the nephew of the eunuch Tian Wumian, who has such a background, and Luo Fu is able to engrave the scriptures in Baowentang.

In addition, Luojiao also spread out many sects, such as Wenxiang Sect, which has a considerable religious presence in Gyeonggi, Zhili, and Shandong, and there are believers in more than a dozen prefectures and counties in the southern region of Jinan. 100,000 people] and the structure of this kind of church is the general type of pyramid scheme in later generations, from top to bottom to form a network, the people of the time recorded in the book that the provinces and counties, each set up a public office, so that the head of the pass on guards, put bamboo sticks flying chips, and brand the king of the three numbers, where there is a hyacinth, it can be spread thousands of miles in an instant····· 丨, this kind of speed of transmitting news is beyond the speed of the imperial court's eight hundred miles.

For example, in the Hongyang Sect, the sect leader Han Taihu claims to be the youngest son of the Supreme God Patriarch, and is the savior who was born into the world, how famous is he? In history, he was once named by the Wanli Emperor as a famous doctor of Zhengde, and the believer did not count]

These sects have a common characteristic, the scriptures used are all the six volumes of the Luo Sect, and their co-masters are all Luo Masters, so just imagine how huge the power of this Luo Sect is.

Or if there are officials who have read so far, they will be confused, and the court will not care?

In fact, a large part of this situation is the result of the deliberate indulgence of the emperors of the past dynasties? The power of Confucianism is too strong, and above the court, once the emperor's wishes are not approved by most officials, the holy decree will not be able to leave the imperial city at all, and no one will buy your account, so the emperor has to bring out Buddhism to confront Confucianism.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, orthodox Buddhism and Taoism also fought against Confucianism, because orthodox Buddhism and Taoism have the official employment and fortune of the imperial court and are getting bigger and bigger.

At the same time, the tide of commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty is surging, the diversified regional economy and the urban economy are prosperous, the rise of small handicrafts, and the traditional agriculture is greatly decayed, in the early Ming Dynasty, the land that pays taxes in the world is 10,000 hectares, and the land that pays taxes in the world in the middle of the Ming Dynasty is 10,000 hectares to the Wanli year, and the land that pays taxes in the world has become 10,000 hectares again, and the national strength is one of them······ But in fact, the population has multiplied for more than 200 years, and official corruption has flourished, even if 7 million hectares of land are cleared, it is not enough to save the Ming Dynasty.

And the development of small handicrafts has made the small citizen class erect, and there are big Confucians like Yan Shannong who blow sticks. The way of man was used by the people every day] and suddenly became a huge force.

When people write books, they say; The poor ask the rich for the rich. Rich Day; "If you want to learn my art, go to the five thieves first. The five thieves, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are also ······" In fact, guess simply, five words are enough, laughing at poverty and not prostitution.

The rise of such a small citizen class has contributed to countless large cities, such as Linqing County, Shandong, but only a small area, but because it is in the canal artery, it suddenly developed into a population of more than one million, and the people of the time have a proverb, and the prosperity oppresses the rich Jiaqi County, not to mention those places that have been prosperous since ancient times, such as Suzhou and Yangzhou, these cities, the number of resources required every day is extremely large, although the citizens are rich, you can often see sentences boasting about the life at that time in the history books, such as even if the wharf carries a large bag, You can also make two sips of wine after sunset, go back and hand over the money you earn to your wife, and you can also support your family, because of the wealth at that time, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history, the old people living under the rule of the Tatar Qing Dynasty will talk about it; It's still Wanli Year, wow! My father said that at that time, two stones of rice and one tael of silver, now one stone of rice and one tael of silver······ In a word, the future is good. …,

Of course, this may not be accurate, but the rise of small handicrafts in Wanli is certain, however, although the small citizen class is rich, there is meat to eat every day, and they can drink two sips of wine, but they do not have three insurances and one housing fund in later generations, and they can't afford to get sick.

At this time, Luojiao and various sects appeared, their general means are to burn incense and draw talismans, preaching that there is a disease to cure the disease, and there is no disease to ascend to heaven, and even some sects allow the believers to be unjust, but after killing, ask the horse to burn incense] Look, what is the difference between this and the godfather of the mafia in later generations who confessed in front of the heavenly father?

Even in the later generations of the Celestial Empire cult, those followers did not repent when they were sentenced, and said, I just don't need money for medical treatment, what is there to break the law?

Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

Daming is like a mess, the emperor finally broke the jar and broke it, you court ministers don't allow this or that, well, I will go against you.

In the late Ming Dynasty, many sects survived in this way, they may be called a cult by the government in Fujian, but when they arrive in Zhejiang, they will be treated as guests by the government and continue to coax people to make money.

Don't blame the people for being ignorant, in the end, the court didn't do a good job, and the princes who were full of poetry and books couldn't do anything, can they expect the people to see through it? Flies don't bite seamless eggs, after all, the princes of the court are straw bales, if the people can be full of poems and books, mud horses, what is the use of you being officials?

As the saying goes, give me a pair of wings, and I will dare to fly, give you a small **, and you will dare to go to the. Before everyone who was an official was not an official, they all thought that as long as I was given an official position, I would be able to make decisions for the people, in fact, this sentence is probably a fart, give you two ** Is it possible that you will go to breastfeed?

Bow your head and be willing to be a son of a cow, how rare is the world?

In the Ming Dynasty, what the good officials wanted was not to turn all the officials in the world into Hai Rui Haigang Peak, but to have a code of conduct to tightly restrain the magnates, commonly known as the rule of law.

**Where did the good official say this? The Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty said in the face of thousands of Guozijian prisoners.

The obedient official spoke, and now he is quite imposing, like the sentence that I have a pair of wings, I dare to fly, give you a small **, and you dare to go to the. Although the faces of those prisoners were difficult to see, they wanted to ask what it meant to shoot a *hand*gun, and the good officer smiled and said; "The six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, etc., do you not know how to shoot?"

Tang San, who was dressed in a flying fish suit next to him, had fun and shouted loudly; "The Grand Duke, these scholars, they like to say [lost]... As he spoke, he deliberately straightened his waist and made a few extremely atrophied movements, and his face was even more eyebrows, although the huge square in front of the Confucius statue of Guozijian could not see the expression on Tang San's face clearly from behind, but his movements like a dog in estrus, the prisoners still understood for a while, and the crowd was in an uproar and scolded angrily. The obedient official glanced at Okumanami and Risa Sugatani on the left and right, and the two of them understood, and with more than 100 samurai, they all brushed up the fire and fired a shot into the air, and the sound of iron cannons roared, and countless prisoners shrank their necks in fright, and some of them fell to the ground in shock, and their faces were colorless.

At this time, the two Fusang swordsmen knelt in front of the statue of Confucius with Hui Shengguang pressed, and then, loudly announced the guilt of Hui Shengguang, not far away, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the Guozi Priest Wine, the banquet speaker Gao Qiyu (Gao Qiyu should have been the Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine at this time in history) was so angry that his face turned purple, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't say a word with a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat.

More than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Guozijian has never had such a shameful humiliation, and has never had such a powerful foreign minister, who actually humiliated the disciples of the famous religion in front of the statue of the master, as a teacher who lectured to the Wanli Emperor and a generation of Confucianism, Gao Qiyu only felt that he was slapped in the face, and he was dizzy.

Unfolded the Gaoli folding fan in his hand, the obedient official shook it lightly, and made a look, the old man of the sword house offered to the Bungoro Jing and comprehended, and shouted, the knife flashed, and the stubborn and cunning Xuan Shengguang was cut off with a knife, and a bloody arrow rushed out of the cavity, shooting on the blue masonry that was polished like a flat mirror, and the first level of bones rolled out of the distance, and his eyes were full of disbelief. …,

The Master's eyes were full of pity, silently watching all this in front of him, and the bright blood was spreading from the cracks in the bricks, reaching the feet of the Master, and slowly penetrating in.

In the Guozi Prison, for the first time, such a murderous aura was permeated, and several prisoners who were so frightened that they sat on the ground, their faces were pale, their doubles trembled, and there were traces of water between their crotches, and then, the smell of urine mixed with the smell of blood spread everywhere, and in a dead silence, more than a dozen of them knelt on the ground on the spot, vomiting loudly, and some even vomited out jaundice water, and they still retched.

"Uncle Zheng Guo." With a loud shout, someone finally jumped out, this person was dressed in a straight color, his face was narrow and long, his eyes were quite large, and he stared at him, but he looked quite righteous, "Hui Shengguang is also famous, no matter how many sins he has, how can you be qualified to kill?" I ······ to my ancestors." As he was talking, he was grabbed by a few classmates next to him, and his face was pale and he persuaded him in a low voice, "Save it, why bother to come out at this time, the gains outweigh the losses, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, and when the day is over, let's connect with our classmates and ······go to school together."

"Uncle Guo, this person is Gao Panlong, the head of the society, and a person from Wuxi County, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili." Tang San, as the former top big prank, has the means, knowing that the obedient officials want to move the prisoners, but he spent a lot of thought, and carefully investigated the twelve chiefs of the Guozijian (equivalent to the cadres of the student union in later generations) and some famous people, and some of them even spent money to buy the news from the East Factory, although the East Factory is too supervised, but the people employed in it are probably extravagant characters on the street, his senior brother Sun Shou who learned boxing Guanzhong Red Boxing, is now working in the East Factory, so he can secretly buy and sell news.

Gao Panlong? Leader of Donglin! One of the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin······ A sneer appeared on the corner of the obedient official's mouth, and he shouted loudly at the moment; "Gao Panlong, I heard that your father, Gao Menglong, is a loan shark? The ancestral system you are talking about, but the legal system of Emperor Taizu? So, your father, is he a slut······"

Gao Panlong's father, Gao Menglong, is indeed a loan shark, but Gao Panlong has passed on to his grandfather's younger brother college as a son since he was a child, that is to say, he and his biological father Gao Menglong are brothers of the same generation, and what does his heir father do in college? Shi Zai, [the university governs the production of rice and salt, and tithes for winning and co-ordinating], and is still a businessman.

This kind of ** naked slap in the face, Gao Panlong is young, and he has great ambitions since he was a child, at this time, he was inevitably angry and his face turned purple, next to Xue Fujiao is a native of Wujin County, Changzhou, Nanzhili, he and Gao Panlong are friends, they are both Tang Shunzhi, Xue Yingqi's lineage of science, Xue Fujiao is Xue Yingqi's grandson, in the words of later generations, the two are hardcore classmates. At this time, Xue Fujiao looked at his face and knew that something was wrong, so he hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear; "Saved, calm, calm... …·· Don't fall for him. ”

He dragged this and couldn't pull that, and someone next to him jumped up and scolded; "Uncle Zheng Guo, you killed in vain in front of the statue of the master, it is insulting to Sven, and sooner or later there will be retribution."

"Gu Yuncheng is also one of the twelve heads of the community, the younger brother of Gu Xiancheng, the head of the household department, and a person from Wuxi County, Changzhou Prefecture." Tang San hurriedly told him the information about this young man, the obedient official looked at him, nodded in approval, this guy really worked hard to do his homework, and couldn't help but laugh and joke with him first, "Yes, I know how to use the word "yes." Tang San's face turned red, and he laughed dryly, in fact, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, feeling that he had been scratched on the itch, which was very comfortable.

At this time, the obedient official slowly turned his head and said loudly to Gu Yuncheng; "Gu Yuncheng, your father is a businessman! Selling alcohol after going bankrupt? Hey! Selling wine (then moved back to Jingli to sell pulp), or a slut·····

The word slut, how harsh, Gu Yuncheng's face turned purple, he gritted his teeth and gurgled, and he couldn't wait to rush up and punch the other party in the face, Xue Fujiao hugged Gao Panlong, and stretched out his hand to grab him, "Ji Shi, don't be impulsive······"

In fact, to be honest, in today's Ming Dynasty, businessmen are nobles, and they are looked down upon everywhere when they are rich, but it is inevitable that some people will say that grandpa Taizu was a slut at that time, and there is inevitably a suspicion that he can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. …,

Especially when the former first assistant Zhang Juzheng was in power, he once handled a case, saying that Yangzhou was the largest number of merchants in Huizhou, Shanxi, and Jiangyou (Jiangxi) at that time, and the merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi were from other provinces, and there was a policy of the imperial court that special children could go to school in Yangzhou, and there was a quota for not going back to their hometowns every year.

However, there are cattle in the Hui merchants! Xu Guo Xu Ge Lao, the Huizhou merchants made the silver, Xu Guo mentioned to Zhang Juzheng, this Huizhou businessman children can not go to school in Yangzhou, the people are very important] Zhang Juzheng agreed to Xu Guo's proposal, from then on Huizhou businessmen can go to school and take exams in Yangzhou Mansion.

From this point of view, it can be said that the power of the merchant at that time is clear, and in any case, it is really impossible to get along with the slut.

Therefore, some people couldn't help but shout loudly, "Uncle Zheng Guo, I am the ancestral system, but there is such a thing as a business membership..." …··”

"I'm from the ancestral system?" The obedient official rolled his eyes, "But is it the ancestor of Emperor Taizu?" ”

The following is silent suddenly, it is advisable to bite this point to death, it is the method of arguing with experts in the forum of later generations, whether I am right or not, anyway, I bite the wrong place you said and do not say it, the Internet forum experts of later generations, almost all of them are this virtue, and the obedient official used this trick in the Ming Dynasty, it is also invincible, you tell me about the ancestral system? Okay, the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, a merchant is a lowly, and a businessman is a slut······

"Everyone, if you have never been a businessman, please take a step forward." The good officer looked around and shouted loudly.

The people below looked at each other, but no one stepped forward. (To be continued)
