These religious people heard so much about restricting religion, and this made them completely fried. Wang Guorui is completely digging up their foundation, not only restricting them from going out to activities, restricting them from going outside to absorb people, restricting them from making relationships, and now they don't even have the opportunity to operate an industry. Although Wang Guorui did not say anything about completely prohibiting religious people from engaging in business, from this point of view, he had to pay twenty times the tax burden, which is definitely worse than an explicit ban. This method is simply too ruthless, so that they have no chance to get income at all. If the tax is to be raised by a factor of twenty, how much will their product or business be raised? Is that still competitive with others?

Don't think that these monks and Taoists only know how to chant scriptures, many of them are "business masters". How could these guys not be proficient in business after maintaining a wealthy life in Taoist temples for many years? If they are not proficient in business, then how can they gain wealth to feed everyone. It's like in the later generations, the abbots of many temples in later generations are actually the CEOs of a company, not really religious people, and their beliefs are also very worrisome! And although this era is better, it is not much better.

"Hmph, since the monk and Taoist nun are religious people, then it is okay to study religious doctrines well, why do you need to go out to do business like this? Our government will allocate funds at its discretion and then let you survive, without worrying about what you don't have to earn, and then make it unsustainable. Our government will take the initiative to help you survive, and then you can be carefree, you don't have to go outside to do business, you don't have to go outside to do business to subsidize temples and Taoist temples, and you can also get a stable life and research conditions, how good is this! As a monk, Taoist, nun. Don't you all advocate purity of heart and few desires? So, a porridge and a meal, that's fine, should be based on studying the doctrine, not thinking about anything else. Wang Guorui said.

"......" The monks, Taoists, and nuns were speechless.

Wang Guorui's words are deliberately generals, and they all advocate pure hearts and few desires. But once the pure heart and few desires come to their heads, they may not be able to accept it. It's okay to let others have a pure heart and few desires, but let themselves be pure and have few desires, they haven't achieved this realm yet. If they achieve this state, then they will become Buddhas directly! Therefore, there is a rich abbot in the poor temple, and this is the same reason. There are too many people in this world who become monks and religious people for profit, so they are not doing it for the sake of purity.

China, in particular, has had little room for true religious survival since ancient times. Most of us are not familiar with that doctrine. It's just that in order to be able to simply get promoted and make a fortune or something like a noble son, and there are things like "temporary Buddha's feet", I will ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva for blessing. Even, some people choose to become monks to atone for their sins because they have done something wrong. One can imagine, how can such a situation make a real religious belief? If you don't use interests to attract, then how can you let people become monks and Taoists?

Finally, these monks, Taoists, and nuns couldn't help it anymore and chose to be angry.

"Lord Wang. Have you treated us servants of Heaven so harshly, that you are not afraid of heaven's wrath? So. How can you receive the blessing of God, how can you obtain the destiny of heaven? A Taoist priest immediately rebuked angrily.

Wang Guorui laughed and said, "Destiny, what era is it?" You're still trying to threaten me with this method? Do you think I believe in some destiny? Do you think I will use the destiny of heaven to fool the people and fool the people? Do you think that I have gained the world, and it is really some destiny? I don't believe I'm destined to belong. I don't want the people to be so ignorant. I tell you, they are the ones on whom the whole world depends! ”

Wang Guorui stretched out his hand and pointed at the staff officers in green uniforms, and then said: "I rely on the army, a strong and invincible army. I personally assembled this army that could defend my homeland and country. They were able to expel foreigners for me, and then lay down a world for me. As for what you say about the destiny of heaven, I don't care, I don't bother to ask for this destiny. I have never disdained to conceal that I relied on the strength of the army to gain the world, and since ancient times, who has not relied on the strength of the army to gain the world? Relying on the so-called Mandate of Heaven? Rely on you people to propagandize, what do you say to get the destiny of heaven? Does this work? The only way to deceive the foolish people is to deceive them. ”

And at this time, these monks and Taoist nuns were also completely on wax, and they thought that they could threaten Wang Guorui's things, but they were not worth mentioning here in Wang Guorui. What they relied on was the so-called Mandate of Heaven thought, and then let them, Taoist monks, and nuns, help Wang Guorui to propagandize. Because this is also the case in all dynasties, Emperor Rehe also hopes that he can prove that he has obtained the mandate of heaven and that he has the so-called destiny of heaven. And all this depends on the propaganda of these religious people. Just like many kings and emperors in the West, they all rely on the Pope to be crowned on behalf of God, so that they can be regarded as legitimate emperors. And this is actually the same way, which means that the monarchy is divinely granted.

"Lord Wang, aren't you afraid that your country will be taken away? If you don't say that you are destined to be, then when the time comes, will any people have the courage to rob it, aren't you afraid?" someone immediately said viciously.

Now, both sides have completely torn their faces, and it is obvious that these monks and nuns are threatening Wang Guorui for their own interests.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I can't manage so much. In the future, if they can't do this emperor, and someone will replace them, then I won't hate the person who took the throne of my descendants. Because you can't do it yourself, do you still occupy the pit and don't? To be an emperor, you must first be the number one 'public servant' in the world. If you can't serve the people of the world well, then you deserve to be replaced, even I can understand it. So, I don't need to go through the means of fools to get the throne. Since ancient times, through the means of fooling the people, but how many dynasties can survive forever? I'm afraid it's hard even for a thousand years! Therefore, it is useless to fool the people, and the real usefulness is the consciousness of self-danger. ”

"If my descendants are born in peace and die in peace, without any sense of self-danger, then they are doomed to perish. Only let everyone in the world stare at him, whether he can do a good job as an emperor, and whether he can be a good emperor. And don't make mistakes, and anyone has a chance to abolish him, so that he can really feel in danger. If you don't feel the danger, how can you do things for the people? Those who are not in danger are not officials. He who does not endanger himself is a king? Therefore, I just want my descendants to put themselves in danger, let them do things well for the people, and the people will recognize him. Otherwise, they are all a group of guys who think they are invincible in the world and think that their destiny is mine, then sooner or later my country will be truly defeated. Wang Guorui said very politely.

These monks and Taoists knew that they had completely failed, and Wang Guorui didn't care about their so-called destiny at all. He doesn't care about the so-called destiny at all, these destiny is just a joke in his eyes. And Wang Guorui doesn't choose foolish people, so naturally he doesn't need them, feudal and superstitious people, to help him stop the fire. They have no use value for Wang Guorui at all. Whether it's a fool or something else. Therefore, they have no use value, so why should Wang Guorui please them? Wang Guorui even has to limit their living space to prevent them from becoming too large and becoming enemies of the government.

"You probably don't know, do you? When the French Emperor Napoleon was crowning him, he snatched the crown and brought it himself? Do you know what this means? Because Napoleon did not believe that this world was brought about by the destiny of heaven, he believed that this country was defeated by himself, and he could be the emperor, and it was all obtained by his own strength, not by some god God. I would also like to tell you here that Napoleon is one of my idols, and although he is a Westerner, not the same as my nation, it does not prevent me from learning from the great founding fathers of the West. We don't believe that the imperial power is granted by God, but I think the imperial power is the ability of the people to trust me, which has allowed me to get to where I am today. The people are also my food and clothing, so I will not choose to fool the people to gain power. And I want to open up the wisdom of the people, so that the people can see how I can do good for them. If my descendants are not up to the task, then they will have to change to another emperor, and I have nothing to say. Wang Guorui said.

Although Wang Guorui said this, he knew in his heart that most of his descendants would not be replaced. Because in the future, their descendants will definitely have less and less power, that is, people who receive a wealthy "annual salary", so in this case, there is no need for the people to be so harsh on an emperor. When the time comes, they will not scold the emperor, and if they want to scold people, they will also scold the prime minister and the parliament, but they will not scold the emperor.

"Someone, send off!" Wang Guorui said.

Those religious people also left one after another, because they also received Wang Guorui's arrangement for the religious circles, that is, they would never have any preferential treatment, but would be very harsh and restrict their development. In the future, a cold winter of religion will inevitably be ushered in, and religious forces will inevitably be dealt a serious blow. (To be continued......)
