Yesterday it was full of 250 votes, but it was not shown in the evening, and I found out in the morning that Rolls-Roy's plus was offered. In addition, we continue to ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Dading Mountain, the main altar of the Heavenly Taoism.

Inside the view of the top of the mountain, Chen Dexing was enjoying the gentle massage of the little Ai Daogu - the nun had become a Taoist aunt of the Heavenly Taoist Sect, changed into a green dress, stood behind Chen Dexing, and gently stroked Chen Dexing's shoulder with her slender jade fingers.

Although Chen Dexing closed his eyes and wanted to relax for a while, he did not have a moment of peace in his heart.

The debate with Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism is getting closer. There is no doubt that the significance of this religious debate to Chen Dexing will never be under the battle of Liaodong! The latter gave Chen Dexing a territory to establish a feudal state in Liaodong. However, a feudal country, even if it has an aristocratic democratic system, does not necessarily guarantee modernization and modernization. Science is the guarantee of the development and progress of the future Ming Dynasty and the entire Chinese world!

And science is not just a few black technologies and golden fingers, but also an idea, a method, and a belief. There is no scientific thought, no scientific method, no spirit of testing the truth in practice, no belief that scientific progress can make mankind happier and stronger. Scientific knowledge will first be reduced to a "small road", then become a means of livelihood for craftsmen, and finally disappear in the long river of history.

To put it mildly, if there is no great era of scientific and technological civilization opened by Western imperialism, we would have relied on the cynicism of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, the imams of the Ottoman Empire, the Brahmins of the Indian Ahsan, and the bushido of Japan. Mankind does not know when it will enter the era of scientific prosperity - this is not to say that the Chinese, the Tianfang, the Indian Asan, and the Japanese devils are stupid, but these civilizations do not have an ideological soil that can give birth to scientific and technological civilization!

In a sense. Science, like religion, relies on faith. It's just that the beliefs of the former can be verified in the real world. And the latter's beliefs can only be verified in the spiritual world.

Science can be said to be a religion based on positivism! Tiandaoism is to clothe science and empirical evidence in the cloak of religion, and introduce it into China, an ancient civilization ruled by Confucianism, in the name of oracles and holy words.

And the reason why such extreme measures are taken is very simple. Because Confucianism has penetrated into all aspects of Chinese society and has dominated the thinking of most Chinese. The way of Confucius and Mencius, or the way of Confucius and Mencius recognized and respected by the court of the Great Song Dynasty, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is difficult to shake.

No matter how eloquent Chen Dexing is and how much evidence he produces, it is impossible to integrate the scientific method and positivism into the Confucian philosophical system - unless Chen Dexing turns himself into a god who cannot be questioned!

Therefore, the focus of the debate on Putuo Mountain is not at all whose reasoning is right and whose reasoning is wrong. It's about how Chen Dexing proves God - only by showing irrefutable evidence that he is God or at least represents God. Then Chen Dexing can put the Heavenly Taoism above the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism!

Xiao Ai pressed the soft crisp breasts on Chen Dexing's solid back, a pair of white jade-like arms wrapped around Chen Dexing's neck, and a little red red lips gently kissed Chen Dexing's cheek. This feeling of close contact with the man she likes makes her blush and look forward to it.

Chen Dexing opened his eyes, "How can I convince the people of the world that I am carrying the Mandate of Heaven?" ”

Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and put her head on Chen Dexing's shoulder, as if she was seriously thinking about the answer: "God is omniscient and omnipotent." If the king is going to be a god, at least let people know that you know everything. ”

"But I'm not omniscient...... There is more knowledge in the universe than the stars. I probably don't know about 1 in 100 million. ”

"So...... How much knowledge does Xiao Ai know? ”

"Ten Billion ...... Or one in a hundred billion. ”

Chen Dexing replied casually, Xiao Ai is very cute, but she is also very ignorant, and she is an ignorant little Lori.

"The king's knowledge is a hundred times more than that of the little love. I don't know what about the youngest grandfather Luan Shangren, and the most knowledgeable Confucian student than the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Chen Dexing said: "They are as ignorant as you, no matter how many scriptures they have recited. Nor is it a truth. ”

Xiao Ai, who was said to be ignorant, was not angry, but just thought about it and said: "But they all think they are very knowledgeable." They are also considered erudite. The king says that what they have learned is not true, and they will also say that what the king has learned is false. ”

"What do you think of Xiao Ai?"

Although Xiao Ai is an ignorant girl. But she can represent the broadest masses of the people - in fact, the broadest masses of the people are more ignorant than she is!

Xiao Ai pondered: "There must be real evidence, right?" Mysterious and mysterious things, that is each saying its own thing. The Venerable Master (referring to the Venerable Master) had been arguing with others for half his life, but he did not necessarily convince anyone. ”

"What kind of evidence?" Mr. Chan seemed to be interested.

Xiao Ai crooked her head and thought about it, and said: "If there is really gold on Sado Island, Xiao Ai will believe that the king is a god, and the prince and concubine of the Northern Six Poles will also believe in the king." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"Is it easy?"

"It's easy for me!" Chen Dexing said lightly. "I still know a lot about this...... Japan's Iwami state-owned silver mines, Kai state-owned gold mines, Shimono and Iyo state-owned copper mines. ”

These are the important mines in Japan that Chen Dexing knows -- this small Japanese country was relatively rich in resources in the civilized world in the 13th century.

Xiao Ai was surprised: "Wow! and gold, and silver, and brass...... Isn't Japan rich? ”

"It's not very rich," said Chen, "and there are many countries in the world that are richer than Japan." ”

"Ring ...... Global? Xiao Ai said, "Is the king talking about balls?" ”

"It's the ball...... Earth! Chen Dexing's heart moved, "Xiao Ai, do you believe that the earth is spherical?" ”

"What? What the? Is the earth spherical? This ...... How is this possible? Well, it's okay to stand on top, but if you want to stand on the bottom, won't you have to walk backwards? ”

Chen Dexing's heart suddenly brightened, and it seemed that having an in-depth exchange with an ignorant beautiful girl in simple terms was still very helpful to the feudal revolutionary work. I have been talking to Zhao Fu, Deng Mingchao, and Ren Yijiang for a long time, but I actually talked to a little girl for a while and got the answer.

Chen Dexing stood up suddenly: "Mr. Hengqu (Northern Song Dynasty Confucian Zhang Zai) once famously said: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a people for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations...... This is the highest state of Confucianism. But there are thousands of Confucians in the world, who knows that the earth is round, and who knows that the moon in the sky is a stone ball, and there is no Chang'e or rabbit on it? ”

Xiao Ai opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Chen Dexing blankly. After a while, the ground was round, and Sister Chang'e and the rabbit on the moon were gone......

Chen Dexing no longer had the intention of playing with Xiao Ai at this time, and ordered loudly: "Come on, Xuan Zhaofu, Ren Daoxing, Mo Yingniang, and Qu Huajie go to Guanhai Pavilion (the name of this pavilion)." ”

……

The four people named by Chen Dexing are now all in Mingdu Mansion, but within an hour, carriages took them to Guanhai Pavilion one after another.

"The topic of the dialectic of Putuo Mountain is already there, that is, heaven and earth!"

Chen Dexing announced loudly. In the minds of the Chinese, the sky is the largest, the earth is the second, and then the king, the parent, and the teacher. The dialectic is based on the theme of heaven and earth, which is indeed high-end and high-grade.

Zhao Fu nodded, "Since there is a topic, the minister will post it to the major academies, temples, and Taoist temples in the north and south." ”

"Yes, let's meet on May 15, Putuo Mountain." Chen Dexing paused, "Korea and Japan will also post invitations." Annam and Khmer also sent people...... Let the Nanyang Fleet handle this. ”

The purpose of the Putuo Mountain dialectic is to establish the prestige of the Heavenly Taoism - to establish authority in places where Chen Dexing's troops are still unreachable! In the land of the five prefectures and four states led by Chen Dexing, Tiandao Sect is undoubtedly the state religion! is very majestic, so naturally there is no need to engage in any dialectic.

Therefore, Chen Dexing did not open a "forum" in Liaodong, but chose Putuo Mountain, a holy place of Buddhism near Lin'an. Its goal was first and foremost to be rich but not strong, and the ideology and politics were very chaotic. The northern Han land, Japan, Annam, and even Goryeo, a large country in the south, are all targets that Chen Dexing hopes to infiltrate with Tiandaoism.

If Tiandaoism can spread in these countries and regions and have a large number of followers, the benefits are obvious - the current Tiandaoism is different from Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, it is a well-organized religious organization with living gods! At the same time, both the Fuxing Society and the Jinyitang can also rely on the Heavenly Taoism to carry out activities.

In addition, the Heavenly Daoist Sect is a religious organization after all. Since it is a religious organization, it is indispensable to collect "incense money" and donate money -- although the teachings and scriptures of Tiandao Sect are completely different from traditional religions, it follows the path of Scientology and stresses exploration and discovery. However, the various religious ceremonies are still the same as Buddhism and Taoism.

Those were all set by Ren Daoxing and Mo Dingtian, two old gods, in accordance with the path of Buddhism and Taoism. The practice should still be done, and the money that should be fooled should still be fooled. There's nothing polite about this, religion, where is there anyone who doesn't collect money?

Moreover, the money of the Heavenly Daoist Sect is not spent indiscriminately when it is "black", and it is mainly used to open the Heavenly Dao Academy and conduct scientific exploration...... Chen Dexing now plans to launch a "Mingwang Science Award" after the brand of Tiandao is launched, and encourage invention and scientific exploration with heavy rewards!

Of course, the above expenses have to be decided from the believers of the Heavenly Dao Sect. And now, there are not many followers of the Heavenly Dao Sect, only the merchants who take the Zhonggao and Rigao trade routes have two money. Therefore, the donations received were limited, and they could only pay salaries to the clergy of the Heavenly Daoist Sect (the clergy of the Heavenly Daoist Sect is very secular and requires a salary to live). Therefore, Chen Dexing was also eager to spread his Tiandao religion to the wealthy Jiangnan region. (To be continued......)
