Chapter 37: Gossip
Zijin took eight crabs and carefully dismantled the crabs, Wang Yan leaned to the side, I didn't want to see Xiao Shao and Wang Yuan tired of the two people, so a big plate of moon cakes is not enough for two people to eat or what, you have to feed each other one bite after eating moon cakes, bullying him can't sit with Zijin this year, right?
Xiao Yu picked up a piece of moon cake and stuffed it to Wang Yan, and also began to dismantle the crabs, this year Wang Yuan was pregnant and couldn't eat cold things, Xiao Shao didn't eat in order to appease his wife, and sent some crabs from Jinling to close people's homes, and the palace only left a few for a few children to satisfy their hunger.
Wei Jia sat on the top of Zijin, facing the impact of the dog food of the teacher and the master, and at the same time a little restless, Wang Yuan has always teased Xiao Shao, and now Wang Yuan's appearance is a black history, is Wang Yuan's black history so good-looking?
Finally put together the eight crab legs, Zijin looked at the complete crab on the table and sighed: "This Jin Xuanzong didn't think much of it, eating a crab can toss a lot of tricks." ”
Although the crab is very interesting to put together, it is really tiring when it is dismantled, her strength is great, and if she is not careful, she will break the crab shell, and the force control in this middle is much more delicate than when she practiced martial arts.
"If you don't say that Emperor Xuanzong is a wonderful person, not to mention the martial arts, it is rare to see people who are enough to leave a name in history just in the food road." Wei Jia echoed, "I heard that many cooks in the people privately worship Emperor Xuanzong, and I think Emperor Xuanzong is the reincarnation of the god of the stove. ”
It was the first time Xiao Yu had heard of this kind of thing, and he was surprised: "Shouldn't it be Ziwei Xingjun, why did you become the god of the stove?" ”
"The monk temple can still send a child, why can't Emperor Ziwei be the god of the stove?"
Wei Jia said that after the introduction of Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva was changed into a female body, and a thing of sending a son Guanyin was created, Xiao Yi may not know much about it, Zijin and Wang Yan are familiar with all kinds of miscellaneous books but they can hear it, and they can't help laughing.
Zijin smiled and continued the stalk that Wei Jia said, "Sister is used to laughing, isn't the Bodhisattva as Taoist as it says, and there is no distinction between sexuality and no difference?" ”
This is another case, Buddhism and Taoism are light, in Taoism, most of the innate gods have no sex, and the acquired immortals are sexless, and the Taoist gods and immortals are compared to one of the supreme gods of Buddhism, so as to belittle Buddhism.
Xiao Shao and Wang Yan didn't stop the juniors from joking with the Bodhisattva, whether it was true or not, anyway, they were from the Yin Shang royal family as royals, and their ancestors had not yet been born when the Buddha of Buddhism was in this land, and Taoism was even more so, it was impossible to make them reverence for Buddhism, and it was already the result of the royal family's tolerance to be able to do the two irrelevance.
After all, these people live on the worship of believers, do not produce and annex land, and hide the population to evade taxes, which is worse than the family left over from the previous dynasty. The Shi clan could only incite scholars, but they could co-opt the common people in the name of proselytizing, as the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty had demonstrated the dangers of unfettered religion to the rule of the imperial court.
"I heard that Tianzhu divides people into four classes, and the status of monks over there is equal to that of the royal family, or even a little higher than the royal family. Wang Yan complained, the Buddhist temple is not better than the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple is often built on the mountain, there is no obstacle not to mention that it can also provide some convenience to the tourists, the Buddhist temple meat and vegetarian are not taboo, there is him in the downtown area, there is him in the deep mountains and old forests, but also to build a tower in it, standing on the top of the tower can overlook the whole city, if it is used by people with a heart, the city defense is worried.
There are also Buddha statues, the monks say that the four are empty and do not value material desires, but their Buddha statues are made of bronze, is there anything more extravagant than this?
Buddhists destroy mountains and forests to dig grottoes, and it is better to have that money than a variety of trees.
Wang Yan's dislike of Buddhism surprised Xiao Shao and Wang Yuan, who were sitting at the top, they just had no feeling for Buddhism, why did their son dislike Buddhism so much.
Xiao Shao subconsciously glanced at Zijin, and when she saw Zijin's helpless face, she knew the inside story of this matter, and made up her mind to go down to Zijin to ask, Xiao Shao followed Wang Yan's words and said another thing, "Think about it carefully, the caste system over there in Tianzhu is quite similar to the Nine Grades of the Wei Dynasty. ”
"Having said that, with the Wei Dynasty, there are not a few declining clans." Wang Yuan retorted.
She is extremely displeased with the customs of Tianzhu, the low status of Tianzhu women is outrageous, even the most old-fashioned old Confucians do not dare to oppress women so much, not to mention that the caste system on Tianzhu's side is not a little worse than the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
"Under the Jiupin Zhongzheng Fa, there is also movement among the clans, and the children of the poor family are not completely out of the way, but the caste of Tianzhu," Wang Yuan snorted disdainfully, "The people under the caste look down on themselves in a daze, and feel that being oppressed is atonement. ”
Xiao Yu didn't understand Wang Yuan's pride, "Listening to A-Niang say this, it's a good thing for tenant farmers to rebel?" ”
"It can't be said that there will be rebellion, which means that the people will at least resist and have their own thinking, which means that the people's wisdom can be enlightened."
Wang Yuan explained, and when he saw that Xiao Yi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, he gave an example, "The pre-Qin Legalists paid attention to fooling the people, in fact, it is similar to the caste, everyone has their own position, this position is unchanged from generation to generation, not mobile, and the people don't need to understand anything, they just need to implement it according to the decree." ”
"That doesn't seem to be feasible?"
Xiao Yuan grabbed Wang Yuan and continued to explain to Xiao Yuan, "Yes, the people will blindly obey if they don't know anything, once someone with a heart instigates it, it will become a prairie fire, and the most important thing is that if the people below will only blindly obey, if the emperor does something wrong, who will correct it?" Only by opening the wisdom of the people can we alert the emperor, but it will not be too harmful. ”
Zijin also listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but smile when he heard Xiao Shao talk about alerting the emperor, "I'm afraid that not all emperors are willing to educate the people, right?" ”
Although he was asking, his tone was extremely firm.
"This is nature, so Jin Taizu is the first emperor of the ages." As soon as the wisdom of the people is enlightened, it will be difficult to go back to what it was before.
"Is it because of improved papermaking and printing?"
Xiao Yu was keenly aware of the reason for this, and saw that Xiao Shao seemed to be a little surprised, and explained with a red face, "Children read the history of the country, when Jin Taizu was young, the Xiao family built the Xiangyang Academy in the Xiangyang clan, and the Xiao family inherited the collection of books for nearly a thousand years in the academy, so it attracted hundreds of family heirs, among which the books are mostly simple silk, and it takes a lot of money to copy a historical record, but now a historical record is printed with engraving, and a complete set is only sold for six to seven yuan, and a little more solid people can afford it, if you buy paper to copy it will only be cheaper, Since you want to open up the wisdom of the people, it is natural that most people must read the book to be considered successful. ”
As long as this price is relatively affluent, people can afford it, after all, historical records are not actually a compulsory subject, especially Ming Calculation, Ming Gong, Ming Law and other subjects, in fact, there are not many exam materials needed, as long as you are familiar with the Great Qi Law and do not have the idea of working against the royal family, plus the technology is excellent, you can basically pass, after all, professionals are the most lacking.
