After Wang Guorui said the words "God to God, Caesar to Caesar", those religious people in China did not know what this sentence meant. They all studied Taoism and Buddhism in China, and did not have a deep study of Western religions and Christianity. Now that I hear this, I obviously don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Therefore, the meaning of this sentence still has to be explained by Wang Guorui himself, because this sentence comes from Jesus. And Wang Guorui, as a descendant, certainly knows the origin of this sentence.

The origin of this sentence is that Jesus was answering a question about whether he asked his disciples to pay taxes to the Roman Empire at that time. And the meaning of this is that Jesus should describe the things of God to God and the things of Caesar to Caesar. What he meant was that God only needed the faith of the people, and that he did not need the people to pay him taxes and fees. The Roman Empire, on the other hand, was on the side of the government, and the taxes and fees of the people should be given to the Fallen Empire, not to God. The extended meaning of this sentence is very obvious, that is, to tell everyone that spiritual things and real things cannot be confused. Material and spiritual, not the same thing. And by extension, that is to say, the material civilization of the people and the spiritual civilization are not the same thing, and both sides should not interfere with each other. ”

"And what I mean is very simple, I guarantee that you will abide by the law in China, and we will not manage the internal affairs of your so-called religion. But you have to be clear that you have to obey the law. The law is in reality, and religion is just religion, not anything else, and you can't interfere with the government in reality, understand? ”

Hearing Wang Guorui's words, a master immediately asked, "Lord Wang, do you mean that there will be a tax on the property of our temple?" ”

As soon as these words came out. Immediately, many monks and Taoists were surprised, because they didn't expect that the new imperial court would actually tax their temples, which was the first time in the world! You must know that in the past, these temples, Taoist temples, nunnery, etc. were all tax-exempt, and their land and their properties were also exempt from taxes. Then they can enjoy a good life. Many people were afraid that the state's taxes would be too heavy, so they took the initiative to give themselves to the temple as land, and then the temple charged a price lower than the state's tax to collect rent. In this way, the temple can also concentrate a large amount of land and have a large amount of wealth.

And they can use religious cards to get high profits, and these are not taxed, which makes them all monks and Taoists live extremely wealthy. Therefore, this is also the privilege of ancient times, and almost many temples and Taoist temples are also economic conglomerates, not only specialized in the study of religion.

However, if the property of the temple and Taoist temple still has to pay taxes, then I am afraid that their advantages will be lost. Once they pay the tax. Then their privileges and advantages are gone, and I'm afraid where will they go to drink porridge at that time?

"Yes, paying taxes is the duty of every citizen, and no one has a privilege. Therefore, monks and Taoists are also citizens of the country and must abide by the laws and regulations of the country, so the property of temples and Taoist temples must also pay taxes. Wang Guorui said.

Hearing this, these monks and Taoists were not calm. Apparently still very dissatisfied with this. Privilege is like a drug, once you taste its benefits. That's why it's hard to quit. So now they hear that their privileges are about to disappear, and they are very resentful in their hearts. However, Wang Guorui will not be afraid of these gods. What era is it now? It's the era of science and technology, and religion has become more and more unmarketable, so Wang Guorui is naturally not afraid that they will be able to make a fuss.

"You're asking God for money?" Suddenly, a Taoist priest asked.

This Taoist priest asked directly, Wang Guorui actually asked God for money? To know the rulers of the ages. They all think that these riches belong to the "gods", and the emperors of the government are also "sons of heaven", how can the sons of heaven follow the heavens to collect taxes? This is also the so-called ancient feudal superstition, the ancient emperor in order to maintain his rule, so deliberately made up a myth. Finally, those temples and Taoist temples can also get the privilege of tax exemption as a result. However, when this comes to Wang Guorui, it is not easy to use.

"God? Even if God comes, you have to pay taxes! Wang Guorui snorted.

Listening to this Wang Guorui's "great disrespect" words, all the monks and Taoists couldn't help but twitch in their hearts. The future new emperor actually didn't believe in God, and he didn't even have the slightest fear of "God" in his heart. They knew that Wang Guorui lived in that new era, and after so many things such as the four olds, there was no "God" in his heart. In the 21st century, the so-called "gods" are meant to be ridiculed, not to be honored. God has become the object of ridicule, so where will Wang Guorui really take him seriously? So these monks and Taoists say this, it is of no use at all.

"Now I will talk about the norms for your preaching. From now on, monks and Taoists can only carry out religious activities in temples or Taoist nunnery, such as preaching and other things, they must be carried out in temples and Taoist nunnery, and no other place can carry out missionary work or hold religious activities. When you leave the temple, the Taoist nunnery, you must wear civilian clothes and you are not allowed to engage in any religious activities. You still have to remember that 'God to God, Caesar to Caesar', you are only religious people in temples, Taoist nunnery, and everywhere else you are an ordinary citizen, so you must obey the law. Even in the temple, Taoist nunnery, you have to obey the law, because this is also the land of China. In the future of China, there is no privilege beyond the law, understand? Wang Guorui said.

When these words were said, all the monks, Taoists, and nuns couldn't help but cry in their hearts, because if they couldn't go out to search, how could they accept disciples? can't accept apprentices, isn't it the temple, Taoism, and nunnery that are also going to be broken? At that time, they had no way to preach, so wouldn't that be about to break the lineage? How can they accept this?

However, they didn't know that Wang Guorui's method was learned from the government of later generations, and the scope of religious activities of these religious people was limited to these religious sites, so that they could not go beyond to spread religion, so that their human resources would become less and less, and in the end, they would have no successors at all, and then they would naturally be drained of their strength. According to the experience of later generations, there are fewer and fewer real religious people in later generations, and most of the so-called Taoist monks and nuns are actually a kind of "profession". These people are actually professionals, just to make a living from them, and they don't really follow that religion. And even online shopping Rui has seen the content of the temple recruiting monks, which is simply recruited under any conditions, and I don't care what you think at all, it is completely recruiting people with high salaries. Therefore, after this method of limiting the scope of their activities, they can gradually withdraw their reserve inheritance resources, and they cannot be allowed to have inheritance.

"Can't we even go to the fate?" Immediately, a Taoist priest asked.

"Yes, it is also illegal and must be punished. In the future, the temple can be subsidized by the government, which can then be used as a fund to support the religious people. However, these funds are relatively limited, and they can basically only meet the normal standard of living in the local area. And it is illegal for you to become a relation, because you are doing religious activities outside. Wang Guorui said.

This makes all religious people cry out for their fathers, and now even the fate is illegal, so what do those monks, Taoists, and nuns eat? Do you have to eat those fasting dishes, or do you eat some ordinary things like ordinary people?

If they all eat these, how can they make these monks red-faced? How can you make those warrior monks strong? None of this is possible, so of course they are not satisfied with eating the same things as ordinary people, and these religious people naturally refuse to agree.

"Also, if you run a business, you must also pay taxes. Moreover, according to the special tax rate, the tax burden of the same business is 20 times that of other normal businessmen! Wang Guorui said.

"Pay taxes, and you have to pay 20 times more taxes than others?" These monks and Taoists almost fainted.

Originally, they thought that they could use the identity of monks and Taoists, even if they paid taxes, it was just meaningful, but now they have to pay more taxes directly, and they have to pay twenty times that of other merchants. If so, then how can they live, how can they live a good life? If their lives are very hard, then who else would they want to be monks and Taoists? Who else wants to be this monk who "eats fasting and recites Buddha" all day long? How can one be prosperous without the supplement of one's own private industry?

Therefore, Wang Guorui is digging their foundation, and he is completely breaking their inheritance! This intention is simply extremely sinister, and it is simply killing them religious personnel.

"Lord Wang, we can't agree!" "Lord Wang, we can't agree, I won't agree!" "Lord Wang, you can't be so harsh to us religious people!"

But Wang Guorui sneered, these fakes finally tried to see the dagger? However, Wang Guorui is waiting for this, so he is not afraid of what these people can do! (To be continued......)
