Chapter 15 Jade Dragon Chang'e returns to the West Sea, and there are many interesting anecdotes about the cycle of life and death
Section 11: Guanyin said (Chang'e) that the "destination" of the 'special assistant' is particularly mysterious
[Narrator] It is said that after the marriage between the Heavenly Court Oiran Chang'e and the Marshal of the Jade Dragon, they chose to travel on their honeymoon, and the queen mother asked for leave to take the opportunity of the honeymoon to visit the West Sea to visit the parents of the Jade Dragon and the subordinates of the Jade Dragon when he was in charge of Dongting Lake.
Chang'e, the new deputy director of the General Office of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court and the 'special assistant' of the Queen Mother, according to the will of the Queen Mother, first came to the Tianzhu Lingshan Leiyin Treasure Temple, and gathered the Guanyin Bodhisattva arranged by the Buddha, and went to the Xihai Dragon Palace to prepare for the XQ 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference jointly organized by the Heavenly Court and the Buddha world!
Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e left the office of the Buddha, out of the Tianzhu Lingshan Leiyin Treasure Temple, both of them cast their own mana, drove the auspicious clouds, smiled towards the West Sea (now Bohai) in China, in order to prepare for the "Elite on Buddhist Sutras" conference jointly organized by the heavenly court and the Buddhist world!
"Chang'e, do you see an island on the eastern side of the West Sea that is not big or small and is surrounded by water on three sides and connected all the way (there is only a road a few tens of meters wide on land)? Which island is called Changxing Island. Just next to Changxing Island, there is a big pond cave. Yulong's father-in-law, that is, your father-in-law, was the one who explored from Da Tan Cave to 'Longtan Bay' at the foot of Longtan Mountain, and met your mother-in-law and uncle who explored from Fairy Lake on Guanglu Island! Why don't we go and see where we go, find a place to sit down, and slowly talk about how to be a good 'special assistant' to the Heavenly Court Commander, this 'mysterious scripture'! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e with joy.
"Good! Good! Little God, everything is up to you today! Chang'e said to Guanyin Bodhisattva with joy.
[Distant and close-up shots] China's Bohai Sea has the Hai River, the Liao River and other rivers inflow. The topography of the seabed is roughly from south to north, sloping from shore to seaward, and the sediments are mainly fine-grained silt and silt. At the mouth of the Thistle Canal. Due to the low amount of sediment transported by the estuary and the erosion of the tidal current. An underwater valley is formed that stretches from northwest to southeast. to the central basin of the Bohai Sea disappeared. The average tidal range (Tanggu) is 2.5 meters, and the maximum possible tidal range is 5.1 meters. The continental monsoon climate is remarkable, with cold winters and hot summers, with four distinct seasons. In winter, it is frozen, and the ice thickness is 20~25 cm. The coast is a silty plain coast, the mud is knee-deep, and the width varies from about 1.5~10 kilometers. There are Tianjin Port and Yingkou Bayuquan Port in the bay.
Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e instantly transformed into two young and beautiful village women and came to an unnamed island in the southeast of Changxing Island. The two of them each picked a clean slate. Take a seat facing the sea! The sea breeze in autumn is neither hot nor cool. Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e enjoyed the beauty given by nature! The two of them faced the west sun, and saw the waves surging in the breeze under their feet, hitting the reef on the shore, splashing white waves, and falling into the turning tide, refreshing! About ten meters away from them, there was a fisherman holding a bamboo pole less than 2 meters long who was fishing! The fisherman tied a 1 or 5 meter long string to the head of a bamboo pole less than 2 meters long, and tied two hooks 40 to 50 centimeters high, each with sand maggots that are especially popular among coastal fish. At the bottom of the line is tied a small stone as a pendant. When the fisherman hangs the hook of the sand maggot, he puts it into the water. Soon I saw that the tip of the fisherman's fishing rod kept shaking! The fisherman hurriedly lifted the rod up, only to see two fathead fish of similar size hanging on the two hooks at the same time! This fathead fish is suitable for growing at the confluence of freshwater and seawater. China's West (Bohai) Sea is fed by rivers such as the Hai River and the Liao River. The small fish and shrimp resources at the intersection of fresh water and sea water are abundant, which is conducive to the growth of fathead fish. Although fathead fish are the species that are born and die in that year, most of them can grow to about 400 grams that year. Fathead fish have a large head and a large mouth, so it is more appropriate to use a 18 to 20 hook. Every time the fisherman stops on a reef and hooks the water, 7 out of 10 times it is a double fish!
Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e watched the fisherman fishing. This fisherman fishes along the low tide level. When the tide goes down, as long as the top of a reef is exposed in front of him, the fisherman will immediately wade over, stand on the top of the reef, and then hook the water! Every time the fisherman stands on the top of a reef, he has to turn around 360 degrees and release the hook into the water! It's two fish every time you hook up. For each reef top that the fisherman stands, he can catch about a dozen fathead fish in a circle. The fisherman didn't work hard to catch more than ten catties of fathead fish!
The fisherman retracted his rod and went home.
"Uncle, what's the name of this fish you caught?" Chang'e asked.
"Fathead!" The fisherman replied.
"Why do you only catch fathead?" Chang'e asked.
"The ancestor of this fish (the originator of the founding sect) 'bragged' in front of the Heavenly Court Dragon Lord who disguised himself as a farmer, saying how much it can grow in a day, and it can surpass the Heavenly Court Dragon Lord in three years! Later, when the Dragon Lord of Heaven and the Queen Mother reported to work and chatted, they said as a joke and listened to the Queen Mother of Heaven! After hearing this, the Queen Mother said that the ancestors of this fish (the originator) were too rampant! The Queen Mother gave instructions to the King of Hades, and sentenced him: 'This fish can only be born and died in that year, and its body is not allowed to surpass the Dragon King of Heaven for eternity!' ’! So, if I don't catch the fathead, it won't live next year. They can only be born to mature quickly, spawn quickly, and leave eggs in the sea before dying. In the second year, it enters the cycle of breeding in the current year, maturing in the same year, laying eggs in the same year, and dying in the same year. The fisherman replied.
When the fisherman left the nameless island and was on his way home, Guanyin Bodhisattva taught Chang'e how to be a good 'special assistant' to the Heavenly Court, which is a "mystical scripture"!
"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', you just heard it! (Queen Mother) Niangniang is indeed the female ruler of the heavenly court who 'manages the heavens and the earth, lives and death'! Being a 'special assistant' to the (Queen Mother) is not only your glory and opportunity, but also your pressure and challenge! The power of the position of 'special assistant' is big and small! When power is great, it can sometimes exercise power that is second only to the 'leader'. When the power is small, it is not as small as a 'errand-talking' communicator. Looking at the 'special assistants' of the male and female leaders of the 'Three Realms', their actions during their tenure are different, and their fate is not necessarily the same! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"Bodhisattva. I just entered politics (official) road. Not much is known about history. The 'unspoken rules' of the Heavenly Court (official) Dao are even less known! Now to this 'special assistant' official position. It is not clear what exactly is and what the responsibilities are. You are the most proud disciple of the Buddha, and you have to do everything big and small for the Buddha! In the Buddha realm, are you counted as a 'special assistant' to the Buddha? Chang'e said to Guanyin very seriously.
"Think so! My current relationship with the Buddha is similar to your current relationship with the Queen Mother! The nature and responsibilities of the 'special assistant' have not yet been clearly defined! In layman's terms, the 'special assistant' of the Heavenly Court Commander is to share some of the work that the Heavenly Court Commander is too busy to do. ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e very seriously.
"(The Queen Mother) Mother's work, 'managing heaven and earth, life and death'! How much 'ability' my Chang'e has. Can you afford it? Chang'e said to Guanyin very seriously.
"It's not something you think about! (Queen Mother) Niangniang uses God (Cai) to use the god of generals! Since the mother chose you as a 'special assistant', she naturally has a reason to use you! The next step is for you to adapt to the position as quickly as possible! As long as you are satisfied with the work you do, you will have a chance to be promoted! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"Bodhisattva, don't talk about promotion yet! I'm 'new to politics', my experience is too shallow, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur in my work, so don't let my mother 'kick' me, I will burn high incense on Amitabha Buddha! Chang'e said to Guanyin very seriously.
"According to my prediction, (the Queen Mother) Niangniang chose you to be a 'special assistant' this time, which is really a bit of a mystery of 'heaven cannot be involved'! (Queen Mother) is unfathomable! I, the descendant disciple of the Buddha, can only attain enlightenment for seven to eight points at present! Vertical and horizontal observation and analysis of the "Three Realms" leaders usually "use secrets (books, assistants)": they (she) choose the "assistant" by their side to 'teach and use' a few years later. When they train you to think that you can complete the task alone, they will let you go down to take on the role of leader in a certain field. in the army. She (the Queen Mother) will let you go down to the army to be a commander of a division and brigade or something; In the political arena, she (the queen mother) will let you go down to the county government to be a prefect and a parent official like that; In the field of literature and history, she (the queen mother) arranged a position for you as the 'director of the Cultural and Historical Office', and asked you to lead a small group of 'arrogant' sour and spicy talents to 'compile literature and history'. Because you have more access to her private information that is difficult for ordinary people to see. You have to control which 'arrogant and naïve' literary gods, don't let them scribble anecdotes (calendars) history! She must always be "kind-hearted, self-serving, forward-thinking, decisive in decision-making, majestic, diligent and close to the people, and praised by the gods (people)" of the world', and eternally remain in the minds of the gods (people, immortals) of the "Three Realms". Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"Bodhisattva, although I am a military god, I am only a civilian military god in Heavenly Court! (Queen Mother) Niangniang will not train me to be a marshal or general who will lead the 'male gods of war' into battle! Chang'e said to Guanyin very seriously.
"(Queen Mother) Niangniang will not train you to be a marshal or general who leads the 'male war gods' to charge into battle, but she can mold you into a female commander in the army who can command the marshal or general to lead the 'male war gods' to charge into battle!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e very seriously.
"Bodhisattva, don't scare me! I just want to help (the Queen Mother) do what I can! I don't imagine what kind of mother (the queen mother) is like 'managing heaven and earth, life and death'! Chang'e said to Guanyin very seriously.
"God is in heaven and earth, and his job is in motion! You are the parents, and the supply (demand) is the society! Have you ever thought about ascending to heaven to be a goddess before? Have you ever thought about being a special dancer in the 'Heavenly Army Song and Dance Troupe'? I'm afraid you never dreamed that you would be able to serve as the dean of the Heavenly Court's 'Flying Eagle Dance Academy' in this life! All these 'variables' are not something that can be stopped by your youthful and naïve thoughts! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"In this way, I am now really a female chivalrous man who is 'God in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself'!" Chang'e said this to Guanyin very seriously.
"Of course!" 'Envoy of the God of Beauty', you can be the 'special assistant' of the (Queen Mother) Niangniang, in addition to excellent conditions such as the right time, place and popularity. The main thing is that your (female) gender has the advantage! (The Queen Mother) wanted to find a female 'successor god' (special assistant) thousands of years ago! (Queen Mother) if the mother is like some rich and powerful female presidents, female chairwomen, rich women and so on. Hire a male secretary, male bodyguard, male driver, and male assistant at every turn. Tethered to your waist as a dog! This 'god position' can still wait for you, the belated female 'beauty god'! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"I'm afraid this is what the Buddha said about my destined 'divine fate'!" Chang'e said this to Guanyin very seriously.
"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', let's talk and laugh! Now that you have the special 'official chair' of the (Queen Mother's) mother's 'special assistant', you must have the divine power of this 'official chair' in the future! If you want to sit on the divine power of this 'official chair', you must have at least more 'three' functions than me! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"In the 'Three Realms', you are already a 'top master' with super ability and world-famous! If I surpass you again, I'm afraid this is 'Arabian Nights'! Chang'e said to Guanyin very seriously.
"'Envoy of the God of Beauty,' I just said. You are the 'divine officer' of the ruler, and I am the Buddha of the ruler! A very good steward Buddha, of course, also needs to have a super level and ability! At the very least, it is necessary to have extraordinary 'planning ability', 'coordination ability', 'emergency determination', 'diplomatic eloquence and means', 'self-discipline ability', 'deterrence ability', etc.! You are the 'divine officer' of the ruler, and you must not only have the ability of an excellent 'Buddha in charge', but also have the 'special function' of managing the 'divine officer'. The Queen Mother has a wealth of experience in managing the Heavenly Court, and she chose you to be her 'special assistant' just to pass on her experience to you!" You have to pass it on and carry it forward! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"It seems that I, the female 'assistant' of the 'female leader' of the Heavenly Court, is even more incompetent than you, the female 'assistant' of the 'male leader' of the Buddha Realm!" Chang'e said this to Guanyin very seriously.
"'Envoy of the Beauty God', you must have at least three more functions than I do. It sounds complicated, and it's 'Rosso' to say. It's simple to sum up. First, we must learn how to divide the 'administrative regions'; second, we must learn how to allocate the 'administrative regions'; and third, we must learn how to control the 'public resources'! Guanyin said to Chang'e very seriously.
"These three sentences sound concise and to the point, but they are even more difficult to do!" Chang'e said this to Guanyin very seriously.
"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', these three sentences sound concise and to the point, and it is not very difficult to do! You only need to grasp a few general frameworks, and you will be handy when it comes to specific operations! First of all, the division of 'administrative regions' should be based on the actual situation of your tribe (country), and according to the distribution of astronomical burial and animal and plant resources of your tribe (country), you should reasonably divide them into industrial areas, agricultural areas, and grazing areas. The industrial zone is scientifically divided into heavy industrial zone, light industrial zone, and 'chemical' industrial zone that pollutes the environment. The agricultural area is scientifically divided into planting area, breeding area and processing area. The grazing area is scientifically divided into two areas: natural grazing area and artificial grazing area! For the production mode of industrial areas, agricultural areas and grazing areas, we will adopt a specialized, large-scale and intensive form, so that the procurement of raw materials, processing and production, quality inspection, logistics and transportation, brand registration, and finished product sales will achieve the purpose of 'convenient, supporting, fast and efficient'! Therefore, the division of 'administrative districts' must not be done by drawing a few circles on the map according to the size of the land area. The division of the size of the 'administrative districts' should be determined according to the number of people in each 'administrative region' and the 'comprehensive production capacity (national income) of the 'industry, agriculture and animal husbandry' of the 'administrative region'. The number of 'administrative leaders' in an 'administrative district' is determined according to the size of the 'administrative district'. 'Administrative districts' and villages are 'counties', and cities are 'districts' as independent accounting units! Those that govern more than a dozen counties (districts) or dozens of counties (districts) are called 'prefectures' (provinces, cities). The central government directly administers the 'prefectures' (provinces and municipalities). The ratio of the 'administrative commander' to the subordinate personnel of the 'administrative district' is 1:500! Refer to the division of the size of the 'administrative district', and the same is true for the army! Ten soldiers are set up as a squad; Four squads (three combat squads, one logistical support squad) are set as one platoon; Four platoons (three combat platoons, one logistics support platoon) are set as one company; Four companies (three combat companies, one logistics support company) were set up as one battalion; Four battalions (three combat battalions, one logistics support battalion) were set up as one regiment. The regiment is an independent accounting unit. 4 to 5 regiments (three combat regiments, 1 to 2 logistics support regiments) are set as one division; 4 to 5 divisions and brigades (three combat divisions, 1 to 2 logistics support divisions and brigades) are set up as a 'group army'. The central government has set up a command headquarters of the army headquarters, and the headquarters headquarters has direct jurisdiction over the 'group army'! Establishment of the 'administrative authority' of the 'administrative district',
