Jiahe Palace, inside the pilgrimage hall.

After all, the country is small, and Qu Jie also pays more attention to the people's livelihood than the office, so the specific scale and grandeur must not be compared with Zichen Palace and the Imperial Palace, which is only one-third larger.

But it's okay to have a meeting.

As the White Lotus Holy Maiden and the others finished their salutes and took their seats, Qu Jie said bluntly: "I want to make the White Lotus Sect the state religion of my daughter's country, the White Lotus Holy Maiden, what do you think?"

For the White Lotus Holy Maiden, these words were really a little too sudden, and they were something they had never thought of before, so for a while, it was naturally difficult to answer.

After a long time, the White Lotus Holy Maiden cautiously replied:

"If my White Lotus Sect can become the state religion of the daughter country founded by the Holy Virgin, it will naturally be a very good thing, but I am a little worried that it will be difficult to be competent, after all, during this period of time, I and the elders have not only visited many places in the daughter country, but also have a rough understanding of the laws and regulations of the daughter country, and many aspects are related to the teachings of the White Lotus Sect.

There seems to be a huge difference......

"It's okay, it's not appropriate, just change it.

Before becoming the state religion of my daughter's country, the White Lotus Sect first revised the canon, the tenets, and everything was based on the laws of my daughter's country as the standard outline, and under the condition of not violating the laws of my daughter's country, it was appropriately filled.

That way, you don't have to worry about being up to the task!"

Qu Jie didn't give the White Lotus Holy Maiden a chance to refuse euphemistically, and directly tried to show up, but excluding the interests and other factors, what she said was right, if it is not suitable, change it to the right one, it is quite reasonable!

It's that the White Lotus Holy Maiden was a little speechless for a while, and even if it weren't for her scruples, she wanted to roll her eyes and scold Qu Jie for being shameless, but fortunately, she was still knowledgeable and didn't dare to tear her face with Qu Jie, so she could only endure this breath and said:

"Our Lady, the Doctrine has been passed down for thousands of years......"

"Do you think that if Confucius were to come to the world, he would open his mouth to criticize the Analects compiled and summarized by his disciples for making mistakes.

So is there a mistake in the Analects or is there a mistake in Confucius?"

Qu Jie did not talk about herself directly, but the meaning of these words was quite clear, her status as the White Lotus Mother in the White Lotus Sect was theoretically equivalent to the status of Confucius in Confucianism, and the teachings compiled by the Holy Maiden and the believers in the sect were actually basically equivalent to the Analects summarized and compiled by the disciples of Confucius in Confucianism.

No matter how much you think about it.

Nor can the Analects be superior to Confucius himself.

The tenets of the White Lotus Sect naturally cannot override her, the White Lotus Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, she is not right.

That's just not right.

As soon as these words came out, if the picture was a cartoon at this time, it would definitely have to be accompanied by a picture of the White Lotus Saintess vomiting blood, and in reality, although the White Lotus Saintess did not vomit blood, the spirit of the whole person undoubtedly collapsed all of a sudden, her face turned blue and purple, and she was about to be angry.

If you are older, you may have a cerebral hemorrhage or a stroke, and it is not impossible to die on the spot.

Now she just regrets it, regrets that she died.

I regret that I brought the wolf into the house......

I knew that Princess Jiahe would not be allowed to be the Virgin of the White Lotus, at that time she thought that Princess Jiahe was a good guy, but it was out of control, and it was reasonable for Princess Jiahe to die suddenly at such an age, but it was a big deal that they killed it with their own hands, saying that the Virgin of the White Lotus returned to heaven.

But who would have thought that this guy is simply a sheep in wolf's clothing, no, a wolf in sheep's clothing, no, it's a gluttony in pig's clothing, here with them pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, the overall situation can be said to have been out of control since the day Our Lady of the White Lotus came to Fan.

After that, it went on a rampage.

Completely derailed, I don't know where to go?

In the process, the White Lotus Holy Maiden didn't want to kill Princess Jiahe, that is, Qu Jie, but she just sent an assassin over the day before, and that night, no, it was the fear that the assassin's head was concocted and placed next to her pillow when she woke up the next morning, who could stand it?

Since the other party can quietly place the head of the stabbing guest next to her pillow, he can naturally quietly remove her head when she is asleep.

After such a fright, the White Lotus Holy Maiden didn't dare to think about killing Qu Jie anymore, and only hoped to maintain the power in their hands through other means.

Until today, Qu Jie has a complete showdown.

said that the White Lotus Sect was to be listed as the state religion, but if the price of being listed as the state religion was that all the rules of the White Lotus Sect had to follow the laws of the daughter country, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to directly annexing the White Lotus Sect, and even the White Lotus Holy Maiden and those elders would also have to abide by the laws of the daughter country.

That's the real bottom of the pot.

Complete co-optation.

Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Qu Jie suddenly chuckled, and her tone was a little softer, and continued:

"Ha~, does the saint have any other opinions?"

"Do you think that the lives of the people of my daughter's country are not as good as you imagined, or do you think that the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are flawless, even higher than me, the White Lotus Mother, or do you want to apostasy? Turning away from the deity?"

Although Qu Jie's tone was a little milder, his words were actually more sharp, after all, the White Lotus Sect is also a religious organization no matter how it is said, and no religious organization has turned its back on the belief in the main god or apostasy is not a big crime.

The words of the White Lotus Sect are actually similar.

"My Lady, I don't have a problem, I'm just too happy and a little unbelievable!"

Knowing that her status in the White Lotus Sect is far less than that of Qu Jielai, and her right to speak is not as big as Qu Jielai's, if Qu Jie insists that she is apostatized, most of the sect members may really ask for her to be executed, and the White Lotus Holy Maiden, who does not want to die, can only suppress the anger in her heart, and can almost be regarded as gritting her teeth and saying these words with a clear conscience.

At the same time, the heart is constantly comforting itself.

He is still young, he is not yet thirty years old this year, Princess Jiahe is nearly sixty years old, he will definitely be able to survive her and die of her, as long as his identity as a saint is not shaken, Princess Jiahe will die of old age when he returns.

She'll definitely be able to regain power.

Maybe the daughter country will be hers in the future.

It was only after her brain made up for it that the White Lotus Holy Maiden's mood calmed down a little, and she was finally able to face Qu Jie again calmly, and then, she was very obedient and cooperative, and agreed to all Qu Jie's unreasonable requests.

Because she already has a new plan in mind.

That is, she must be obedient next, and never let Qu Jie find any opportunity to abolish her status as a saint.

And as long as her status as a saint is still there, even if she temporarily loses power and the rights in her hands are divided, as long as she boils Princess Jiahe to death, the future will still be promising.

It is precisely because of this hope, or this possibility, that the White Lotus Holy Maiden can accept all the agreements so calmly, and also coordinate the elders who were originally under her orders to cooperate together to revise the teachings and internal organizational structure of the White Lotus Sect, and prepare for becoming the state religion of the daughter country.

......

More than a month later, the imperial court's expeditionary navy encountered extreme thunderstorms during the voyage, suffered heavy losses, and was rescued by Qu Jie on the third day after more than 10,000 soldiers.

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus and the elders of the White Lotus Sect.

Finally according to Qu Jie's instructions.

The teachings of the White Lotus Sect, the internal organizational structure and other aspects were revised to conform to the legal provisions of the daughter country, as well as the degree to which Qu Jie was satisfied, and submitted it, Qu Jie read it carefully and found that there was no problem. Look at the book

He officially issued an edict and declared that the White Lotus Sect would be the state religion of the daughter country from now on, and promulgated a new doctrine by the way.

Although the White Lotus Sect has brought a lot of help to Qu Jie over the years, a secret missionary religion is an unstable factor after all, rather than letting them keep the secret preaching unstable, it is better to directly control it on the surface, which is safer, and its doctrine can be properly reformed, and it can also provide spiritual sustenance to the people at the same time, and by the way, use the new doctrine guiding ideology of the White Lotus Sect to reshape the three views and concepts for the people.

It is equivalent to engaging in an alternative ideological education for the whole people.

Of course, these need to be taken slowly, and there will be no immediate effect in the short term.

The only more direct change is that the high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect were divided into two parts by Qu Jie, some of them were not so pious, but they trusted Qu Jie more and had good abilities, and they got all walks of life, or became officials, or did other things, and went to shine.

The other part is still in the White Lotus Sect.

They are not allowed to meddle in any government affairs or matters outside the White Lotus Sect, and only concentrate on spreading new teachings.

There is a proper separation of church and state.

After doing this, Qu Jie was relieved to convene the second Daughter Country Symposium on Dynasty and Politics, and put forward more than a dozen topics at the meeting, which were analyzed and studied one after another.

Explore solutions.

The first daughter country government seminar, to be precise, should be called, the seminar on preparing to establish a daughter country, Qu Jie had not rebelled at that time, and the main participants in the meeting were her cronies, and the content of the meeting was only three points, one was to discuss how to rebel, the second was to discuss how to retreat, and the third was to discuss how to build the country.

Preparatory construction of Jiahe Island.

Basically, it was done according to the results of the original discussion.

Now that the daughter country is basically successful, and the population foundation and so on, the second daughter country government and politics seminar should naturally be held.

In view of the future development, resisting the invasion of the Great Dry Water Army, the continued introduction of population, the popularization of education, the cultivation of the daughter of the emperor and the princess, etc., more in-depth discussion and research were carried out, and a plan for the next few years was set.

The conference lasted for half a month.

More than a dozen issues one by one, one by one, gradually have a solution, or the latest plan.

For example, to resist the invasion of the Great Dry Water Army, the current plan mainly lies in two points, one is the decapitation tactic, as far as possible only to attack the leader of the other side, so that the opponent's group of dragons is leaderless, in order to avoid greater conflict, if necessary, you can directly send killers to get the generals on the beach.

The second is that if it really doesn't work, and the other party really fights, then try to cover them with firepower and prevent them from landing, and everything is to give priority to ensuring the safety of the people of the daughter country, and the big cadres and soldiers must go to the back.

Another example is the continuous introduction of population, which is to continue to send a small number of White Lotus Sect members to return to the territory of Daqian, using other identities as a cover, and strive to collect abandoned baby girls, sold daughters or wives, etc., if it is found that there is a large-scale famine in a certain place, and there is no one to provide relief, the victims can also be appropriately collected.

However, on the whole, it is necessary to keep a low profile, and not to directly rebel like before, destroy the gentry, and bring a large number of people away.

As for the popularization of education, it can be confused with the cultivation of the crown princess, in order to save time, Qu Jie specially compiled a whole set, or it cannot be said that she compiled, she picked a set of teaching materials from the cave that she thought was more suitable, and after making appropriate modifications, she directly took them out for her granddaughter and the people.

The difference is nothing more than that her granddaughter, that is, the crown princess, needs to learn a lot more than ordinary people.

If the daughter country wants to continue, it will take at least three or five generations of empresses' efforts, if it is Qu Jie's generation, the future result will most likely be no different from the Great Zhou created by Wu Zetian, and the status of women may not be improved.

It will also be suppressed and so on.

Or the fruit has been taken away by others.

If Wu Zetian passed on the throne of Princess Taiping back then, Princess Taiping would have passed down three or two generations of empresses, and the empress would have ruled the world for more than 100 years, and I think history would be another trend.

So the question of the education of the crown princess.

Definitely top priority.

The latest plan is that the crown princess will be taught by Qu Jie herself, and at the same time she will be in contact with government affairs, and she will slowly become familiar with it, until one day, she will become a qualified empress of the daughter country.

With the announcement of the conclusion of the second Daughter Country Symposium on Imperial Politics, the next step is, of course, implementation, and the newly established major government agencies are engaged in education according to the original plan, and the development is carried out in development, and the territory is expanded in the expansion of the territory, and the conquest of the Quartet is in the Quartet.

Everything is going in order.

Thriving and thriving.

Even the sailors who were rescued were also because of

In gratitude for saving his life, and Qu Jie's promise of three taels of silver per month, he could gain one-tenth of the ownership of the total land for attacking other islands outside and the temptation to become a supernumerary mercenary to help in the war.

Originally, Qu Jie let the old, weak, sick and disabled under his command use relatively high-end weapons to fight those savages or tribes, which is already regarded as a dimensionality reduction strike, but now he directly uses the regular army, and at the same time equips them with good weapons and various medicines, which is definitely a proper dimensionality reduction strike, so the final result is naturally a great increase in efficiency, and the population will not be enough in less than a year, and the place is too big to manage.

can only divide the fields to those soldiers first, each of them has at least a few hundred acres, and more can have thousands of acres, tens of thousands of acres, and then they don't need Qu Jie to secretly encourage them, they are planning in their hearts, whether to take their relatives, or even relatives and the like.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to grow so much land.

There are too few locals, and there is a lot of land, and everyone can't plant their own land, who will be someone else's hired farmer, even with the help of machinery, it is difficult for a person to be busy with thousands of acres of land, let alone those who have tens of thousands of acres of land, and only hundreds of acres of land, are envious and jealous, and want to continue to make contributions to get more land, and there is also little time to cultivate the land.

And the law of the daughter kingdom is expressly stipulated.

The land is not to be abandoned.

Therefore, those soldiers who were allocated land, they didn't need Qu Jie's urging at all, they just thought of their own way, either asking someone to pass on the message, or secretly returning to Daqian, trying to pull their own family members, and even good friends and relatives, over to help them farm, or continue the war with them to earn more land, and so on.

The daughter country took this very smoothly.

A new source of population has been opened.
