Chapter 488: It's easy
There are more than 700 monasteries in Jiankang alone, and how many fake monks there are, I'm afraid even the old monk Jiaxiang himself doesn't know.
Still, at this time, Buddhism had not yet been completely centralized, and its style of action brought a strong Hu style, that is, relying on force to do wrong.
There are more than 700 monasteries in Jiankang, of which there are thousands of warrior monks, and as long as there are a small number of arrogant and unreasonable existences, the reputation of most monasteries can be ruined.
Don't look at the large number of Buddhists in the south, as if they are very popular with the people.
Not really!
The reason why the Southern Buddhism is flourishing is just the credit of Emperor Wu of Liang's stupidity, and the subsequent southern regimes and magnates are polite to the Southern Buddhism, and there are many believers among them, which can make the momentum of the Southern Buddhism continue.
The people have a blind obedience mentality, basically what the powerful like, the people naturally follow the trend and like.
The reason why Lei Hu came to find the bad luck of Buddhism in the south is that he investigated it clearly early, and there are few devout Buddhist believers among the people of Jiankang, and most of them are shallow believers who follow the trend.
There are also some monasteries and monks who are arrogant and domineering, relying on force to take advantage of all kinds of evil, in fact, the prestige of the southern Buddhism among the people is not as great as imagined.
This is an inference made by several major departments based on a large amount of information and data.
That's it!
Lei Hu faced the old monk Jiaxiang, so naturally he didn't need to be too polite.
After greeting each other, directly explain what is in mind.
The more than 700 Buddhist temples in Jiankang are definitely abnormal, at least they must be compressed above the average.
As for how to compress it, it was an internal matter of Buddhism, and he was too lazy to meddle, but he had a little request, which could not affect the normal order of Jiankang.
The second point is that all monks who have committed evil deeds must be sent to labor camps, and there is no room for negotiation.
Another point is that the number of teradas owned by each Buddhist temple must be based on the size of the temple, the reputation among the common people, and the number of monks who truly understand Buddhism, according to the decree on the granting of fields stipulated by the national government.
The extra Terada government was purchased at the market price, and the temple had to have a land deed from the government to get the money, otherwise it would be confiscated.
"Amitabha, Wu Guogong wants to weaken the momentum of Buddhism!"
The old monk Jiaxiang's face sank like water, and he put his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Isn't Guogong worried that it will cause turmoil in Jiankang?" ”
"Do you dare to make trouble?"
Lei Hu chuckled indifferently and said disdainfully: "As long as you dare to make trouble, my father will dare to completely put an end to the traces of the existence of Buddhism in the territory!" ”
"Amitabha, isn't there room for manoeuvre?"
The old monk Jiaxiang said in a deep voice: "I hope that Guogong can be accommodating!" ”
"It's impossible!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "If Buddhism wants to live in peace, it must act according to the rules set by this father, otherwise there is nothing to talk about!" ”
"The old monk is not talented, and he wants to ask the prince for a lesson or two!"
The old monk Jiaxiang spoke indifferently, obviously preparing for the move.
"Speaking of which, I still have to see the truth with my fist!"
Lei Hu was a little disappointed, and said indifferently: "Old monk, the combination of Buddhism and Central Plains culture is still very blunt, you should strike first, lest someone chirp crookedly afterwards and say that my father is bullying people!" ”
"Amitabha, offended!"
The old monk Jiaxiang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly pointed out.
At this moment, the old monk seems to be incarnated as the Buddha of the Western Heavens, and the Zen concealment makes people can't help but feel peaceful.
But in the tranquil atmosphere, the Buddha smiled and pointed.
This finger is full of boundless Zen opportunities, as if the Buddha intended to enlighten the destined person in front of him, and the mystery is so infinite that people can't help but indulge in it and can't extricate themselves.
It's amazing!
Lei Hu chuckled, instantly breaking the atmosphere created by the old monk Jiaxiang, and also pointed out.
This finger has no fancy features, it is just a mediocre finger.
But when the two fingers collided in the air, there was a soft roar of the wave, and the old monk Jiaxiang's body shook violently, and he flew backwards for more than a foot.
Obviously, the remnants of Lei Hu's finger have not stopped, and the face of the old monk Jiaxiang is not ugly.
After half a cup of tea, the chaotic aura on the old monk's body stabilized, and he didn't mean to continue to shoot, but sighed deeply, sat back and asked, "Guogong, I don't know what is the mystery of just one finger?" ”
He was shocked by Lei Hu's unscrupulous finger just now.
You must know that the most famous method of the old monk Jiaxiang is the one-finger Zen.
He has reached a very high level of cultivation of one-finger meditation, otherwise he would not point out, and his opponent will have illusions, just like facing the Buddha to point out, if the mind is a little worse and the will is not firm enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to even take a finger.
But Lei Hu not only took it, but the same finger caused Jiaxiang to be slightly injured.
This is not frightened by the old monk, and he was defeated in the field he is best at, and this blow is quite serious.
That is, the old monk's mentality is good, so that he can quickly restore his calm, and he can also ask Lei Hu for advice, if he changes to an ordinary martial artist, it will be difficult to restore calm for a few months.
"Break the law with force!"
Lei Hu opened his mouth indifferently, and directly pointed out the key points, without any intention of hiding privately.
"What a way to break the law with force!"
A hint of complexity flashed in the eyes of the old monk Jiaxiang, and he nodded softly and said: "Please also ask the prince not to be too harsh on Buddhism!" ”
"This is not that this father deliberately targets Buddhism, but the existence of Buddhist monasteries has affected the normal development of Jiankang!"
Lei Hu said unceremoniously: "Didn't the old monk find out that the development of Jiankang City is powerless?" ”
"Amitabha, monks don't know how to do business!"
The old monk Jiaxiang said directly: "Please also ask Guogong to be more clear!" ”
"Okay, let's be blunt!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "Your Buddhism has too many resources, and half of the fields outside the city belong to the temple property, and they don't need to pay taxes!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Without enough taxes, many infrastructure constructions in Jiankang cannot be carried out. ”
"To be honest, if the infrastructure construction on Jiankang's side does not meet the minimum standards, it will not be able to undertake the huge resources of Qiantang County at all, and in the end, it can only be cheaper in Jingkou and other places!"
"Without the support of enough external resources, what do the people of Jiankang City do to make a living, and they can't all go to the big households and Buddhist temples as tenants, right?"
"It's not that my father deliberately said it seriously, when the areas around Jiankang are developed, the people in the city will naturally develop to the surrounding better places, and then Jiankang will be completely depressed, as for what will happen to so many temples in Buddhism, can the old monk deduce it himself!"
The old monk Jiaxiang said in a deep voice: "Guogong will not watch Jiankang go down!" ”
The tone was affirmative, obviously not believing that Lei Hu would give up such a good place as Jiankang.
"Hehe, there's nothing you can't give up!"
Lei Hu said indifferently: "It's just that the development is not as easy as people, and the Southern Buddhism is unwilling to give up the interests in their hands, so let's live a good life in Jiankang City!" ”
The old monk of Jiaxiang is a little uncertain, if such a situation occurs, the Jiankang City that has come down from the depression alone may not be able to withstand the consumption of so many monks in the southern Buddhist sect.
Especially the warrior monks in the Buddhist temples, they all need a lot of resources to be cultivated, and they can't afford to rely on the rent of the Buddha alone.
Looking at Wu Guogong Lei Hu's posture, if the southern Buddhism does not act in accordance with the rules he formulated, don't expect to expand its influence in a prosperous place in the future, and can only nest in the temple and eat the old book.
This is not what he wants!
As the saying goes, the water flows to the lower places and the people go to the higher places, even the old monk Jiaxiang himself, and he is not sure that there will really be such a situation, and those fake monks who rely on the temple property to support will not have a large number of losses, and even the phenomenon of collective return to the world.
Needless to say, such a situation is bound to happen.
With the means of Wu Guogong to govern the locality, the monks who took the initiative to return to the laity will be scattered and resettled in various places, and it will not take long to completely digest them.
The Production and Construction Corps is not just talking, once there is endless work every day, how can those fake monks still have the heart to continue to believe in Buddhism?
Ay......
Secretly sighed in his heart, the situation is stronger than people, if he wants not to be completely isolated from the territory by Wu Guogong, the old monk Jiarui knows that the Southern Buddhism must bow his head.
Otherwise, Wu Guogong didn't need to use any drastic means at all, and most of the southern Buddhism would also have to collapse, and there would be no conditions to talk about at that time.
Obviously, there is no need to think about the southern Buddhism if it wants to live as nourishing as before, and even the development can basically not be counted on, and it is difficult to say whether it can keep the current foundation.
Seeing that the old monk had the meaning of bowing his head and being soft, Lei Hu smiled disapprovingly and said: "In view of the mixed good and bad of the Dragon Society in the Buddhist temple at this time, this prince wants to follow the example of Tianzhu to set up Buddhism, and the old monk You, a monk who has a deep rhyme with the mystery of Buddhism, preach the Buddha and preach the Dharma, what does the old monk think?" ”
Buddhism?
Jiaxiang's old eyes widened, and even his breathing was a little shorter.
If you really set up a Buddhist school in the south, with the qualifications of the old monk Jiaxiang and the depth of study of Buddhist scriptures, you will definitely be able to become the master of it.
This is a great thing to be able to make a name for yourself in the history of Buddhism.
Even if he is as calm as Jiaxiang, he can't help but feel hot in his heart and want to firmly grasp such a great opportunity.
When the time comes, Buddhism is really going to stand up, maybe the southern Buddhism will be able to overpower the northern Buddhism and become the mainstream of the Central Plains Buddhism, as the host of the old monk Jiaxiang will get how much benefit, I can't help but feel excited when I think about it.
Hehe......
Seeing the old monk take the bait, Lei Hu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
In this world, except for saints, I am afraid that no one can escape the temptation of fame and fortune.
Lei Hu suddenly grabbed the itch in the heart of the old monk Jiaxiang, and the rest of the matter naturally went smoothly.
The old monk agreed to a series of not too many of his demands, and there was only one request, to establish Buddhism as soon as possible.
Even if the old monk doesn't mention it, Lei Hu will build Buddhism as soon as possible.
The current situation, is not very suitable for playing the degree, Lei Hu came up with Buddhism such a disguised method, as long as it is really implemented, there will be huge differences within Buddhism, no need for Lei Hu to deliberately target can receive miraculous results!
Buddhism is a threshold, which will separate Buddhist monks from ordinary monks, which is a kind of imperial examination in disguise, but this is an imperial examination within Buddhism, and it has nothing to do with outsiders, and its influence will be much smaller, and it will not hinder the eyes of the merchants and the court, which is suitable for the current southern Buddhism to experiment.
