Chapter 101: Is the Buddha Gate a Pure Land?
The light rain in spring has been falling for two or three days, and the smoke and rain are hazy and a bit like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and the plum is yellow when it rains. Zhao Guan's family had nothing to do, because Hu Yin and others had already formed the Yanjing service system, and unless there was a major matter, he forcibly intervened, but it backfired and disrupted the order.
So as the supreme leader, Zhao Jiu, in addition to occasionally summoning the ministers to look at the report, is actually nesting in the palace to see if the old rules have left him a piece of wasteland, not to mention the mulberry fish pond, at least you have to plant some wheat or something, don't let future generations forget the hardships of starting a business, unfortunately the old rules are too responsible, so that he can only order Yang Yizhong to take the imperial squad to cut down a row of willow trees, reclaim the wasteland, and also find two old farmers to ask Yanjing what is the most suitable place to weigh, and finally decided to take advantage of the abundant green vegetation to raise rabbits first.
But he is idle, the people he brought don't dare to be idle, Lu Benzhong is worthy of being the first person to run a newspaper in this dynasty after Hu Quan. In a short period of time, he once again emphasized the purpose of running the newspaper in the Yanjing Taixue Office, that is, to be loyal to His Majesty, love the country, and understand the original learning, and to convene a large number of Hebei scholars who were delayed by the Jin State as the core. Then followed him and Lu Benzhong to set up the Yanjing Times. Even if Lu You writes brilliantly and writes a 10,000-word proposition essay, he has to admire others' ability.
Xiao Hong Langjun was sent by Zhao Guan's family to go everywhere, and took the Lili to visit the people, heard that the merchants could be blackmailed, and checked the solidity of the building. This cannot be said that he does not trust the Yanjing team, but that he must have an understanding of the basic people's livelihood.
As for Wu Fu's work, it's a bit difficult to explain.
When Zhang Jun went to arrange Dengzhou's going to sea, Wu Fu, who was also a secretary and a writer, complained angrily to his father-in-law after three days of investigation: "Officials, they are too much. You are too forgiving to these monks! β
Not to mention Zhao Guanjia, Lu Benzhong, who came to ask him to review the content of the first issue of Yanjing Times, and Liu Yan, who was standing on the side, were shocked, where did you come to the conclusion, child? I don't know that there is a Buddha statue in front of me who donated land to Shaolin Temple, and by the way, he received free money from monks across the country? If he was tolerant of the monks, Zhou Shizong of the previous dynasty would not be able to destroy the Buddha!
However, Wu Fu dared to say this, there must be evidence, and he arched his hand and said: "The official, the minister followed the Dahui Zen Master to the west to preach the Dharma, and he saw him practicing asceticism, and he did not dislike half a piece of steamed bread when he turned into a fate, and also told us that Buddhism has been divided into various sects since the Han Ming Emperor entered China, in fact, everything is unchanged, and they are all practicing in this life and peace in the next life." However, according to the minister's observation, the oldest temple in this place is Tianwang Temple, which was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty. When the Liao people occupied, the temple built an octagonal thirteen-story relic brick tower. After the Jin nobles also worship the Buddha here, later the Great Xiangguo Temple because of the official will, allowed to build a branch temple here, but Chen Shu deputy planning is strict, they insist that the Tianwang Temple collaborates with the enemy, to rob the temple property for several uses, the Tianwang Temple is not satisfied, this lawsuit is fought to Haidian Zhixian Chen Gangzhong there, and Chen Gangzhong hinders the Great Xiangguo Temple has an official royal pen is not a good ruling, and the Tianwang Temple is not a good thing, it is said that the believers donated all the sesame oil money was bought by them land, and later the official family to land the land, actually found out more than 5,000 acres of temple property. And because the official family was ready to implement the policy of lending grain to the common people, Hu Xianggong only received 4,000 mu of land from them. It's ridiculous to say that I am a Buddha and compassionate, but I am doing the things of flies and dogs. β
Looking at the naΓ―ve Xiao Wu, Zhao Guanjia sighed helplessly, and put a rare white-haired and red-eyed rabbit in his arms on the ground to eat grass, and said in his heart that these children are not like their fathers one by one, as far as Wu Jue's eight-sided exquisite character can actually give birth to such a pure and kind child, he said: "You, you are still too tender, I have long known that it is not these bald donkeys, including those miscellaneous hairs, are not good things, oh, there are still a few good things, such as the Dahui Zen Master you said, and it will be vigorously promoted in the future, Let him be a Buddhist saint of this dynasty. But have you thought about it, Hu Yin and Wang Jue, who are rubbing sand in their eyes, actually didn't start to rectify these bastards, waiting for you to find out! β
Wu Fugang wanted to say that it wasn't because your old man had a word first, they didn't want the official family to lose their trust, but thinking about the various riotous operations of the official family, he felt that this was not very likely.
Sure enough, Zhao Guanjia beckoned the unlucky child to sit on the stone bench of the stone pavilion in the pond he had newly discovered, and said, "This is very complicated to say, but you should always know the Qingmiao method of King Shu of this dynasty." β
Who doesn't know this, Wu Fu nodded, but he didn't know why the official family changed the topic. But I heard Zhao Guanjia spread out the sample issue of the Yanjing Times, and said: "Wang Shuwang's starting point is undoubtedly excellent, but in the end, the harm caused by the Qingmiao Law is not nonsense from Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others. But since I want to break the old and establish the new, and the benefits of this green seedling method have to be used, how can I avoid his disadvantages? β
As the core of the reform, the Qingmiao Law replaced the usurious propertied with the government and directly lent money to the poor. The theoretical framework is very good, and it is also very effective to put it at the level of the state capital, although the final implementation is successful, but although Wu Fu is reading martial arts, he also knows that this matter is very damaging to the people's livelihood, although the official family does not dare to say it clearly, but many Taoists still think that the death of the former Song Dynasty is really Wang Anshi's change.
This topic is beyond the outline, Wu Fu can only answer honestly, and said: "Back to the official's house, the minister, the minister has never thought about such a profound question, and I really don't know." β
"I don't blame you, how many conscientious scholars and doctors have spent their lives in poverty, and they haven't come up with a way to do both, and I just compromise and compromise, which is what you see using the temple to do. From my point of view, although Buddhism and Taoism still have basic religious instincts, with the convergence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the temple economy, and the name I gave to these monks for loans, they put more attention on land management, and naturally they are indispensable to borrow grain from the people to make profits. The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the officials who enforce the law are really in accordance with the law, they will not be able to confront these powerful people in the countryside, and the common people also trust these temples and landlords more, and are willing to borrow from them, not to mention that the quality of these officials is not necessarily new, because the forced loan led to the bankruptcy of the middle class, you ask Chen Shangshu and other old ministers, they have seen it with their own eyes. But even the Shaolin Temple can't do such a thing, which is why I was angry with the bullshit 'rich and poor' who wanted to kill people, but I couldn't help but rely on the temple to borrow from the seedlings, especially in this dilapidated north, I also had to rely on the seeds they brought to give the farmers spring ploughing. But don't worry, whether I am or Hu Xianggong, they are not fools. The law of the state, the upper limit of interest is not allowed to annex self-cultivated agricultural land, otherwise let alone a Daxiangguo Temple, that is, Shaolin Temple, Linghu Temple, Daming Temple combined, I will also destroy him. β
Wu Fu felt that he had come into contact with a side that he had never seen before, this matter was called the country's centennial plan, and he was very excited, and praised the official family repeatedly, but he was still worried: "What the official said is reasonable, but in such a dispute as the Great Xiangguo Temple of Tianwang Temple, the minister feels that the general supervision is still not enough, and it is better to establish a system." β
Zhao Jiu encouraged him vigorously in the spirit of compensation, and said: "At your age, it's good to think like this." In this way, you go and tell the two temples that I don't care which of them is right or wrong, in short, settle down with me, otherwise don't think about interfering in the matter of the green seedling loan. And the Shaolin Temple, don't look for favors everywhere, I know that the Baoguang Temple built at the end of the Tang Dynasty was abandoned, so I gave this to them, and it was also saved to be built. Ju Ren (Lu Ben Chinese characters), wrote this incident in the first issue of the Times, and made sure that they all gave me a little bit of life. Wu Fu, I see that you are very concerned about this matter, you are from a rich background at a young age, this is not easy, it is better to transfer to the Yushitai in the future, and specialize in supervising the Qingmiao loan on Yanshan Road. "Pave a good path for you and be a good matchmaker in the future, it's worth it.
Who knows that Wu Fu lowered his head and whispered: "Official, how can the minister have such great ability, but Yanshan and Hebei are dilapidated, and the people of Shengdou don't know the truth of the sages, and they pin more hopes on Buddhism, so the minister will care." Because when I was in Kansai, many people went to Yaoshan Temple every year to burn paper money, looking forward to a good birth for their relatives in the next life. β
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had no desire to speak, and waved them all down, even Yang Yizhong took a few steps back, he knew that the official family needed to be quiet.
"Deceived Kangxi"
In the evening, a holy decree came out from the palace, and now Yanjing is conducting windmill tests, and five days later it will move to Wuqing.
