The chili pepper matter was just a small episode, and it passed quickly, and Wen Yi put the chili seeds away and waited for the spring planting next year.

As for the chili peel, it naturally has to be eaten.

After that, he summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to hold a meeting in the Hall of Light, at which only one thing was discussed, which was to promote the belief in Mazu.

"People need faith, and instead of letting them believe in the obscenity of wild gods who came from nowhere, it is better to find them to be righteous gods, so as not to go astray."

"Moreover, I have reached an agreement with the Taoist Sect Master Du Zigong, and they will include Mazu in the ranks of the Taoist Heavenly Court."

"With this foundation, we can also avoid a split in faith between us and the Han democracy in the Central Plains...... What do you think of this approach? ”

Xue Dayuan said: "I support the king's method. I used to have the habit of worshipping God, not to believe it or not, but to seek peace of mind. ”

"Since I arrived in Dongning, I have never worshiped God again, and I always feel that something is missing, and I believe that there will be many people who think the same way as me."

"It's just that in the past, when the Tang Kingdom was founded, everyone had just migrated here, and they were all busy cultivating the land."

"Now that I have finally settled down and have surplus food at home, more and more people will slowly worship God and pray for peace."

"If we don't introduce righteousness, we are likely to be used by people with ulterior motives...... It was the right time for the king to establish the worship of the gods. ”

Chai Ben said: "Although Mazu is a new god, she is the goddess of the ocean, and our Dongning island is the most suitable island to worship her, I think it's very good." ”

Mo Jun, Wu Yi, Gu Yi, Guo Jiting, Zhou Qi and others also thought it was good.

Gan Xian pondered for a long time and asked several questions: "Nothing can be separated from the constraints of the law, and religious belief cannot be an exception. ”

"How should we manage Mazuism? Clergy geometry? How to manage it? Are their landed property taxed? These need to be worked out in advance. ”

Everyone nodded, and Gan Xian asked this question very well.

China has been a secular state since ancient times, and religion is only for the sake of the regime. However, all dynasties had different religious management systems, which was quite chaotic.

What kind of system is the Tang State ready to adopt? Or do you want to adopt a new system yourself? It is necessary to discuss these things in advance.

Since Wen Yi proposed the belief in Mazu, he naturally thought about all these things a long time ago, and said immediately:

"Mazu is also a branch of Taoism, and the clergy can also be called Taoists, and the Jiao ceremony can be copied from the direct use of Taoism."

Xue Dayuan said with a smile: "I almost forgot, the Taoist Jiao ceremony was formulated with your help, so naturally there is no problem." ”

Zhou Qi said in surprise: "Wait, what did you just say, Master Xue?" The Taoist Jiao Zhai Jiao ceremony was formulated with the help of the king? ”

Xue Dayuan said: "I can't think of it, right? Not only the Jiao ceremony, but also the new ideas of Taoism all come from the king. What is the heavenly court, the earthly mansion, and the six realms of reincarnation...... It was also taught by the king to Sect Master Du. ”

"Otherwise, why do you think Taoism will help us write the Mazu Sutra? Why are you willing to add a new god for the Tang Kingdom alone? ”

Guo Jiting, Zhou Qi, and Chen Xiu were all dumbfounded.

What is the most striking part of the Taoist reform? It is to construct the system of heaven and earth and put forward the concept of six reincarnations.

And on this basis, the scriptures were revised and the various branches of Taoism were unified, and the current Taoism was born.

Everyone in the world admires Du Zigong's talent and achievements, and whoever sees him must respectfully call the sect leader, and even the scholars have to lower their posture by three points when they see him.

Now they are told that it was all from Wen Yi......

If it weren't for the fact that they had seen too much of Wenyi's magical methods, as well as the complete Mazu Sutra in front of them, they would never have believed that it was true.

Is there anything he won't have?

Wen Yi was proud in his heart, and said modestly: "Don't mention the past." Let's just talk about it in private, but don't dare to talk nonsense outside, lest it spread out and ruin the reputation of Sect Master Du. ”

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

In the eyes of Guo Jiting and the others, there seemed to be a golden light on Wen Yi's body at this moment.

Not only is the ability strong, but the character is also very good, Lord.

We were so lucky.

Wen Yi continued: "I have already thought about the management method of religion. The Taibu Temple was established under the Ministry of Rites to manage religious affairs. ”

"Each province, state, county, and town can only have one official temple, and the rest are considered illegal and must be destroyed."

“…… The Tao is a new institution that I am going to set up in the future after the expansion of the land area of our country, and it will be above the state and govern the land of several states. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and inadvertently heard another shocking news.

Whether this institution called 'Dao' is suitable and does not discuss it, the key is the information revealed: our king is really not willing to be lonely.

In the past, they would definitely be worried that people's hearts were not enough to swallow elephants.

But now they are only excited.

It doesn't matter if you can do it or not, at least you have to have this idea.

What if.

All of you here have been heroes.

Although they are also now, the founding ministers of a small country on a small island, but the founding ministers of the whole world, the meaning is completely different.

Wen Yi naturally saw the change in everyone's expressions, and this was originally the news that he deliberately revealed to everyone.

Use this casual way to expose a little bit of ambition and test the reaction of the crowd.

At the same time, it also gives everyone a more fighting goal, lest they lose their motivation and concentrate on infighting.

Now it seems that the effect is very good.

He continued: "Miaoguan is not allowed to do business, and it is not allowed to buy real estate...... All properties are subject to tax. If you want to become a monk, you must have a Taoist certificate issued by Taibu Temple, otherwise it will be considered illegal. ”

"But in consideration of their survival, the temple was allowed to learn the art of healing, healing and saving people, and a certain amount of arable land was allocated according to the size of the temple......

"There shall be no more than 50 Taoist priests in the national temple, and the land shall not exceed 500 acres...... The number of temple monks at the state level shall not exceed 30, and the land shall be 300 acres......"

"The number of temples at the county level shall not exceed 20 people, and the land shall be 200 acres. There shall be no more than two temple monks at the town level, and the land shall be fifty acres......"

"The law must stipulate the amount of land in the temple to death, and even if it is increased by one point, it will be considered illegal and the temple will be destroyed directly."

"No matter where this land comes from, even if they buy it at a high price, as long as it increases, it is considered illegal."

"People are also allowed to build a small temple in the village, but it is not a formal temple. There are no official Taoist priests, no real estate, and certainly no restrictions. ”

"The people could visit the idol in their own homes...... As long as you don't do anything that violates the law and discipline, you don't need to ask too much. ”

This policy can be regarded as Wen Yi's reference to the methods of state management of religion in the previous life, combined with the lessons of history.

In short, religion can play a good role honestly, and don't try to mess around.
