264. Send the monk
Zhao Mengqi was well-informed and knew that the Japanese people had a lot of fun on it, but he was not much surprised.
He doesn't care if Kusano is really of Song blood, as long as it's worth using and obedient.
A widow is not worth his much effort, and after a combination of grace and power, he will also be handed over to Hou Tao for control.
After the matter was explained, everyone retreated, leaving only Gu Qing.
"Advisor Gu, how is the good monk system in Lin'an implemented now?"
"Back to His Highness, most of the more than 600 monasteries have already paid the deposit, but there are still more than a tenth, that is, more than 6,000 monks and nuns really have no money......
"Oh? Won't the monastery where these monks and nuns are located help them out?"
"Most of these are wandering monks, and many of them are only in a temporary relationship with the monastery, so the monastery is naturally unwilling."
"And what did you do with these monks and nuns?"
"Some people choose to return to the world, some want to leave Lin'an, but they don't have good monks, and they can't pass the pass, so they don't succeed, and the rest are more religious, probably people who are really dedicated to Buddha, so Weichen doesn't know how to deal with it."
Gu Qing smiled bitterly, although Zhao Mengqi said that he would let the monks and nuns who had no money to do hard labor and sweep the streets, but if he really wanted to do this, the Imperial City Division was afraid that it would really cause public outrage.
Zhao Mengqi pinched his chin, "Hey...... Five or six thousand, that should be enough."
What should be enough?
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, "What does Your Highness mean?"
"That's right, many Wa people now believe in the Buddha, especially after Zen Buddhism was introduced to the Wa Kingdom a few years ago, it was warmly sought after by the shoguns and the grassroots samurai, and this is a good time to promote it to the whole Wa people, so I think we should help the Wa Kingdom become a real Buddha country in the East China Sea, which is not far better than their primitive and rudimentary Shintoism."
"Your Highness's intention is to send these more than 5,000 monks and nuns to the Wa Kingdom?"
"Exactly, for monks, it is also their pursuit to convert more people to Buddhism, and using Buddhism to eliminate the tyranny in the nature of the Japanese is also for their good......
Zhao Mengqi said and said, he was about to believe it, and his face was solemn, as if he was a monk.
If he could, he would have preferred to recommend Ah San's caste system to the Japanese people, but unfortunately the Japanese people often studied Chinese civilization and were no longer so ignorant.
Gu Qing couldn't cry or laugh at this time, he was very embarrassed, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not good, how can those monks be willing to leave their homeland and go to a foreign land? If you force this to happen, you have to make a big mess......
"You think it's tricky?" Zhao Mengqi glanced at Gu Qing, "What's wrong with a foreign country? Monks, monks, and families, how can there be so much exquisiteness, but it's just a change of place to chant Buddha, besides, isn't it the duty of believers to preach Buddhism, and by the way, it can also promote the friendship between the two peoples, anyway, they don't have any money, just don't worry, by the way, I heard that the status of the monks in the Japanese country is quite high, and they can also marry wives......
Gu Qing hesitated, "That's what I said, but the monks are actually just mortals, and most of them are still attached to their homeland."
Scholars just have a lot of concerns.
Zhao Mengqi had to teach Gu Qing by word and deed.
"Well, this is actually not difficult, you can make a noise of public opinion among the people in advance, what Xuanzang learned scriptures, Jianzhen Dongdu and other Buddhist deeds to publicize a lot, so that the monks whether they want to or not, they have to take it as their responsibility to transform the people of the Japanese country out of the sea of suffering, secondly, whether they are monks or not, as long as they are people, they will have desires and needs, whether they are chasing fame and fortune, or aspiring to belief, as long as they do what they like, there is always a way to impress......
In fact, the Buddhist exchanges between the Song and the Japanese are still very frequent, and there are often monks from the Song Dynasty who take merchant ships to the Great Song Dynasty to study and study, and there are also many monks from the Great Song Dynasty who go to the Japanese to preach the scriptures and preach the Dharma, but this kind of spontaneous exchange, the number of people is still limited, usually a few or a dozen, but Zhao Mengqi plans to send thousands of monks at a time, which is simply religious dumping.
Zhao Mengqi said a lot, Gu Qing gradually had an idea, and then took over the task, "What His Royal Highness said, Wei Chen's mouth was suddenly opened, and he immediately started this matter after returning to Lin'an."
"Well, spend more time, do more work, and come up with generous treatment, so that the monks who go to the Wa Kingdom will not have resentment, that is the best, lest they plant the seeds of hatred in the Wa Kingdom, in addition, your military intelligence department can also develop personnel among the monks, with the status of a monk, it is very convenient to do many things...... ap.
Zhao Mengqi said, out of the corner of his eye, he saw half of the little brain melon poking out of the door, but after a closer look, it was Zhao Yun.
"Niang, what's the matter?"
"Fourth Brother...... Are you done talking?"
Zhao Yun stood squirming outside the door, his eyes flashing, some expectant and a little embarrassed.
Generally speaking, when Zhao Mengqi is dealing with business, Zhao Yun and the other little ladies will avoid it and not bother.
However, Zhao Yun and the others have actually been waiting for a long time, and they have seen Hou Tao and the others leave for a long time, but Zhao Mengqi is still in the flower hall, so Zhao Yun, under the instigation of Zhao Hui, came to the door to explore the wind.
Anyway, the matter is almost over, Zhao Mengqi saw his sister's appearance, so he smiled, "What are you doing at the door, come in and talk."
Seeing that his brother didn't mean to blame, Zhao Yan put his heart down, jumped up and ran to his brother's side, shook his arm, and began to be coquettish, "Fourth brother, they all say that Gusu City is very fun, but Su Niang has been here for so long, but she can only be locked up in Zicheng, and she is about to get sick, fourth brother, can you take me out for a walk?"
Zhao Mengqi smiled dumbly, hooked his finger and gently scraped Zhao Yan's nose, "You little fool, you were used as a gun again...... If she was busy at the beginning, Qian Duo was injured, and she thought it must be Bao Niang, what about her?"
"Outside, I'll call her."
Zhao Yan said, running out like a small whirlwind, and not long after, he rolled back again, "Oops, the person is gone, it's strange......
Oh, that little clever ghost, most of them are afraid of being scolded, so they hide first to see the wind.
Zhao Mengqi thought about it and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I have been in Gusu for so long and have not appreciated the customs and customs of this city, it is indeed a little unreasonable, then the fourth brother will take you out for a walk today."
First, he was unwilling to refuse his sister, and second, he himself didn't take a good look at this paradise on earth.
But Gu Qing opened his mouth to dissuade, "Your Highness, you can't, the lesson of the future is not far away, the white dragon fish suit is too dangerous, if there is any more discord, it will definitely shake the country's foundation......
"Okay, it's not that serious." Zhao Mengqi waved his hand and interrupted Gu Qing's words, "You can't be bitten by a snake once, and I'm afraid of the well rope for ten years, is it possible to let a few small people and scare me to be a turtle with a shrunken head for a lifetime?" If someone really attacks me again, it will be regarded as luring the snake out of the hole, just to find out all the ghosts and ghosts hiding in the shadows, don't tell me, you can't even do this thing."
Zhao Mengqi expressed his attitude, and by the way, he also threw a radical method to Gu Qing.
Hey, why does this highness always give people problems?
At this time, Gu Qing felt Hou Tao's distress a little, and said stupidly, "Since His Royal Highness insists, then Weichen can only comply with the order, but Weichen needs a little time to arrange and prepare."
"Well, that's fine." Zhao Mengqi nodded, "Actually, not many people really know me, as long as I disguise a little, I'm afraid even if I say that I am the King of Yan on the street, few people will believe me, so there is no need to be so nervous."
You said it lightly, but you are not afraid of 10,000, but you are afraid of what if......
Gu Qing muttered in his heart, and hurried to arrange the trip.
