Chapter 169: Confucianism, Taoism

As dusk approached, the city began to become deserted, and there were not many people to be seen on the streets.

Since Li Jing found a reason to seize the nobles of Champa and confiscate their property, and cut off all the untouchables and distribute the land to these poor people, the fields around Champa have been well maintained.

At this time, there are still many people who are still working hard in the fields, hoping that they will get rid of their lowly status and turn over to become masters of the first crop of grain, and they will have a good harvest!

Compared with before before they were out of the lowly status, they worked harder, took better care of the rice, and sweated their hard work in the fields.

No matter how hard and tired they are, they all think it's worth it!

Except for a small part of the grain harvested in these fields, the rest is theirs, which was unthinkable before!

At the north gate of the city, a team is slowly coming from afar!

"What does that team do? Go check out a few people!"

The city gate officer said to the guards beside him.

Four or five guards immediately ran over, and after some exchange between the two sides, they learned that this team was a Confucian sent by the imperial court to educate the locals, and a Taoist leader who spread Protestantism.

The guards told their companions to go back and tell the city gate officials that they and the party continued towards the north gate of the city.

When the city gate official learned that this was a Confucian scholar and Taoist sent by the imperial court, he hurriedly ordered someone to go to the palace to report the news, and he took someone to greet him personally.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, another person was sent to notify the security army in the city to come and maintain law and order on the streets until the Confucian and Taoist leaders arrived at the palace smoothly.

In fact, he did this for a long time, and there was no need for such trouble, most of the residents in the city were cultivating in the fields, and no one would come to watch at all.

Even those who stayed in the city were women and children, and the women were so busy with their lives and cooking that they had no time to come out and watch, and the children were only interested in playing, and whether strangers came or not would have any effect on them.

The security army received the request of the city gate officer, and sent a hundred security troops to maintain order, and the dispatch of the security army alarmed the women who were cooking, and they opened the window curiously and poked their heads out to watch.

Some of the women, who were not worried about the children playing outside, immediately ran out and carried the children back into the house, and closed the door tightly to cut it off from the outside.

The Confucian scholars sent by the imperial court looked around curiously, feeling that the city was too deserted, and there were not even a few people, so what did they want to come here to educate?

……

"The sage, the Confucian scholar and the Taoist chief sent by the imperial court, have entered the city."

Ximen Yang respectfully saluted with his crossed hands.

"Settle them down first, I have something important to do, and I will summon them tomorrow!"

Li Jing, who was enjoying the song and dance, wearing regular clothes and leaning on a chair, stared intently at the singer, and instructed Ximen Yang to arrange accommodation for Confucian and Taoist first.

Now that the sun has set, it is not suitable to meet in the dark, so we will wait until tomorrow to talk about any major events!

The most important thing is that he still has big things to do, he really can't get out, let alone get out, he can't even take his eyes off, he really doesn't have time to see them, not that he doesn't want to see them!

"No!"

Ximen Yang bowed and bowed, and took the order to leave.

Sage, do you really have something to do?

You're obviously looking for a lame reason for coveting beauty, and your eyes have been staring at Kabuhime's body!

The old slave can't bear to poke you!

It's really a drunkard's intention not to drink!

But Li Jing is thick-skinned and doesn't care what others think of him, can't he have some fun as an emperor?

So go to great lengths to sit on the throne of the emperor, for what?

Can't I just enjoy it, play music, and accept the dance!

As for the Confucian scholars and Taoist leaders from Chang'an, let them rest and rest first, and talk about what they have tomorrow.

Ximen Yang personally reconciled Confucian Sheng and Daoist Chang'an, and then came back to serve Li Jing.

……

Early the next morning, Li Jing got up from the bed, dressed neatly, and after breakfast, he planned to summon Confucian and Taoist leaders.

He wanted to know how these Confucian students planned to carry out education, so that everyone in Zhennan Province could learn Han culture, even if not everyone could read and write, everyone must be able to speak Chinese.

The responsibility of the Taoist chief is to spread Taoism, so that the Taoism of the Taoist ancestors can penetrate into the hearts of the people of this land, take root in this land, and blossom and bear fruit!

Therefore, the Taoist leaders who came this time are those who have a deep understanding of the doctrine and can speak the Tao.

"Sage, Confucian scholars and Taoist leaders have been waiting for a long time, are they summoned now?"

Following Li Jing to the main hall of the council, Ximen Yang bowed and asked.

"Xuan!"

Li Jing glanced at Ximenyang and spit out a word in his mouth.

"No!"

Ximen Yang immediately stood up, turned around and took two steps forward, and shouted loudly outside: "The sage has a decree, announce that all Confucian scholars and Taoist elders will meet you!" ”

"The sage has a decree to announce that all Confucian scholars and Taoist elders will meet you!"

Immediately outside the door, there was a waiter on duty, repeating Ximenyang's shouting loudly.

The Confucian scholars and Taoist chiefs who were waiting outside the palace gate entered the palace gate under the leadership of an attendant.

Entering the palace gate, walking through the square in front of the palace of thirty meters, and coming to the front of the main hall, the chamberlain turned around and arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, I will send you here, and you follow this chamberlain into the hall to meet the saint!"

"There is labor!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

The Confucian scholar thanked him, and the Taoist chief performed Taoist etiquette.

Confucian scholars and Taoist leaders followed the attendants at the entrance of the main hall and walked into the main hall, and everyone took a look at the main hall of the Linyi Kingdom.

Compared with the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, this place can only be described as shabby!

"Let you come all the way from Chang'an here, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Jing, who was sitting on the throne, showed a smile and expressed his condolences to a few Confucian scholars and three Taoist masters from Chang'an.

"It's an honor for me to serve a saint!"

A Confucian student in a green shirt arched his hand and said, and the other Confucian students took him as the leader.

The three Taoist leaders are respected by the purple-robed Taoist leader.

"What is the purpose of letting you come to Zhennan Mansion from Chang'an this time, I think you all already know, let's talk about your plan!"

Before letting them educate the residents of Zhennan Mansion again, Li Jing wanted to know if they had any plans, even if they didn't, it didn't matter, and now they wanted to come back in time!

"On the way here, Xiaosheng has already made a plan to educate the barbarians, this is the plan we have finalized, please take a look at the saint."

Confucius took out the plan that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Li Jing.

Ximen Yang stepped forward to take the plan and handed it to Li Jing on the throne.

Li Jing opened the plan, and there was nothing amazing about the content in it, it was all decent, and many of them were the theories of how the Confucian elders taught the barbarians.

It is nothing more than to educate the barbarian high-level first, let them learn Han culture, learn Han etiquette, and then give enough benefits, the barbarian high-level is constantly influenced by Han culture, and is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which is enough.

But this is not what Li Jing wants, what Li Jing wants is that the people of this land recognize themselves as subjects of the Tang Dynasty, not just a small group of people who are sinicized.

Simply use interests to drive people, sooner or later they will turn their faces with you because of insufficient interests, this is not what Li Jing wants, what Li Jing wants is recognition from the inside out.

"Your plan is not going well, I have decided to build a academy in Champa, and you will enlighten the people here and teach them the Tang culture!"

Li Jing vetoed the teaching plan of the Confucian students, and said his plan, he had already let people build the college, and it had been completed the day before yesterday, and these Confucian students could settle in and teach at any time.

Even the enlightenment books, Li Jing made them up, and for better teaching, each word was marked with pinyin.

In this way, the difficulty of teaching is reduced a lot, and there is no need to worry about people in Zhennan Province not being able to learn.

Li Jing asked people to bring the prepared enlightenment books to Confucian scholars.

Confucian looked at the three enlightenment books in his hand, showing a look of surprise, these three books they had never read, but they were all from everyone's hands.

These three books are "Sound Law Enlightenment", "Disciple Rules", and "Three Character Classic", which are all enlightenment books that have not appeared before.

"You take it back and take a good look at it, and make a detailed teaching plan!"

Li Jing said to the Confucian scholars.

This time to carry out teaching, Li Jing divided the college into children's classes, and adult classes, with the education policy of teaching children as the main and adults as the supplement!

Of all the undertakings that are beneficial to mankind, the first and foremost thing is the cause of educating people, and the cause of education must start with the baby!

"No!"

The Confucian scholars bowed down and took the order.

Then I asked the sermon about preaching.

Dao Chang is not like Confucianism, who writes a long and hard plan, and they don't have any plan.

This kind of thing is about going with the flow, which is also the code of conduct of Taoism.

How to preach was their business, and they didn't want the emperor to interfere with them too much.

"I don't care how you preach, but there is one thing I want to remind you, I want you to let every family worship the Sanqing Patriarch in a short period of time!"

No matter how they preach, the most basic thing is to let everyone believe, even if it is hypocritical!

As long as I have this beginning, I am afraid that I will not be able to let everyone believe in the future.

In fact, is Buddhism a great practice, does everyone believe in Buddhism?

That's simply impossible, there are many ordinary people in this world, how many people can really see through the red dust?

How many people are really willing to give up everything for the sake of penance, and can suppress the desires in their hearts?

Many of them are just doing adulterous things in the name of the Buddha, but they are just wearing the garb of monks and doing dirty deeds!

The three Dao Masters frowned slightly, and said, "I'll do my best, whether we can complete it or not, it's not up to us to decide!"

"What if there is a miracle?"

Li Jing looked at the three of them and asked.

The three Dao Chiefs frowned even tighter.

Miracles?

They have been in the Tao for many years, and they have never seen any miracles, and the ancestors of the past generations have not even dreamed, so don't say anything about miracles!

Could it be that Dao Ancestor will perform miracles here?

The three of them were full of doubts, and they didn't believe in miracles, but they hoped that there would really be miracles.
