"I really don't understand what you kid mean, what kind of medicine is sold in your kid's gourd?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't understand that Zhao Xu knew that Zheng Guo was a spy and Zheng Guoqu had the consequences for South Korea, and you also said that you were going to send your "Zheng Guo" to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Do you want to be the second South Korea, although Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know who Zhao Xu is talking about his Zheng Guo, but I always feel that this is not good.

Zhao Xu knew that Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that the people he sent would really make Nantang strong, and that would really be stealing chickens and rice.

So he said to Zhao Kuangyin:

"I said Dad, you don't have to worry, what technicians can I send, what kind of people have the talent to settle the country and the country?"

"The answer is obvious, I will never do, the person I sent is a monk, a monk who is well versed in the Dharma."

"It's ridiculous to say, maybe it's a travesty for those eminent monks, because this person who is proficient in Buddhism is actually a little gangster together."

Zhao Kuangyin was also surprised when he heard this:

"Oh? This person is actually a gangster and interesting, and I will have time to meet him and see what is special about him. ”

Then he said to himself:

"Everybody has their own strengths, and a thug can be proficient in the Dharma, even more so than the eminent monks, and it seems that they just haven't found their place right. （）”

The sound is so small that only he can hear it, even Zhao Xu can't hear it when he is beside him.

"By the way, didn't you send this person to the Southern Tang Dynasty to preach Buddhism, don't you want them to like Buddhism, so that their country will become stronger and stronger?"

In Zhao Kuangyin's impression, Buddhism is a very important sect, and it is also to persuade people to be good, if they use this to govern the country, the country will definitely be strong.

This was also an emperor's correct understanding that Buddhism was an excellent pawn for their rule.

"Since my father has talked about Buddhism, and his sons also have thoughts about this, let's not talk about whether he can make the country rich and strong, I'll talk about something else first."

"The ancients all said that Cang Liao knew the etiquette, and the people's lives were better, so they would naturally be easy to govern, and they would not make trouble, my father, yes and no?"

Zhao Kuangyin also nodded:

"What you said is right, the people's stomachs are full, who hasn't run to rebel yet, just like in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the people couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes, which led to the later Tang Dynasty."

"But Cang Liao may not be able to make the country stable, you see how strong the Qi State was in the Spring and Autumn Period, but you see that as soon as Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zhong died, the Qi State slowly declined."

"Therefore, in order for a country to be strong, it must also have a sound system, and it cannot be pinned on a monarch and a virtuous minister."

"But having a sound system is not the same as being able to make a country stable for a long time, you see that the Qin State has a complete set of laws, but in the end it is the second and the second to die, do you know what I'm thinking?"

"How do I know what is in your heart, I am not a roundworm in your stomach, by the way, we are not talking about the Dharma, why did you say that you are here, hurry back to the topic."

Zhao Kuangyin reacted, what they were talking about just now was Buddhism, what is Zhao Xu talking about here?

"Can you not worry, these are all the experiences of governing the country that I have summed up from the past dynasties, I just want to talk to you about my views, are you so optimistic about what I said?"

Hearing that it was the prince's experience in governing the country summed up, Zhao Kuangyin came to the spirit, which was exactly what he was interested in.

"Oh, I can't imagine that you are still summarizing the experience of governing the country, but this is also right, anyway, you will use it in the future, you can talk about it."

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's great interest, this is also within his expectations, how many emperors are not interested in governing the country?

"I think so, the Qi country is rich, but in the end, why did it slowly decline, because they didn't have a sound system."

"The Qin Dynasty had a strict system, but in the end it also perished, that is, they only had harsh laws but no benevolence, righteousness, and morality."

Therefore, it is not enough to have Confucian culture, but also to have other things like Taoism and Mohistism.

Of course, Buddhism is also indispensable in this. In fact, Buddhism is still good for our rule.

Because no matter how powerful a country is, no matter how rich it is, there are still poor people, and these poor people are the lowest level of society and an important factor in the stability of the country.

"If they are poor, they will be dissatisfied with the country, and if they are dissatisfied, they will make trouble, which is very detrimental to the stability of the country."

"At this time, other teachings, like Confucianism, have no way to effectively solve this matter, and then Buddhism can effectively solve this matter."

"The teachings of Buddhism have the persuasion of the people to be patient, the cycle of cause and effect, which is very beneficial to the rule of the state."

Zhao Xu said that he looked at Zhao Kuangyin here and asked him if he wanted to say anything.

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while before he spoke:

"Aren't you saying that this Buddhism is a good thing, and now you let people who are proficient in Buddhism go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, doesn't this make the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty believe in Buddhism even more, and isn't it beneficial to the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Speaking of which, I returned to Buddhism and Buddhism, and finally returned to the question that the father and son said at the beginning.

"Father, I didn't say that this Buddhism is bad, but everything has two sides, and this Buddhism is also like this."

"So for our court, we must use Buddhism to maintain our rule, but more importantly, we must control it."

"Father, think about what the consequences will be if there are more temples, you must know it!"

Of course Zhao Kuangyin knows that this Buddhist temple generally does not have to pay taxes, and it is also not cultivated and farmed.

If there are more Buddhist temples, it means that there are many monks in Buddhist temples, and there are fewer ordinary people, so they all go to become monks.

At a deeper level, there are more people who do not farm, and there will be less tax revenue for the imperial court.

Is such a temple still good, sometimes the wealth of the temple is more than that of the imperial court, no wonder Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty have ordered the destruction of the Buddha.

There are also monasteries that raise a large number of monks and soldiers, which hinders the law enforcement of the imperial court and the government, which is not uncommon.

This is all because there are many monasteries, and Zhao Kuangyin also understands this, and at first he only thought that Buddhism could help him rule.

Now after Zhao Xu said this, he suddenly remembered that it is not a good thing that there are more Buddhist temples here, and it is even more likely to threaten the rule of the imperial court.

Yes, there are two sides to everything, and this Buddhist temple is the same, and it's really not good to have more.
