The canonization of Yingzhou is different from the canonization of Great Xia.

Although the status of both is equally honorable.

But the number of canonizations in Yingzhou is too small.

The canonization on the surface is only five.

Except for the two members of the Imperial Family and the Shogunate, the remaining three canons each had their own positions in Yingzhou.

There are twenty canonizations in the top ten and ten murderers in Great Xia alone, and counting the canonizations in active service, the total number is definitely no less than thirty.

This shows how backward Yingzhou's system is in cultivating transcendentals.

In order to compensate for the shortcomings of the system, there is another route for promotion to canonization in Yingzhou.

Canonization of faith.

That is, to collect people's beliefs and canonize them by collecting incense wishes.

This route was also originally flooded in Great Xia, and even caused a war among believers for a time, and if a large country of hundreds of millions of people broke out for the sake of faith, it would inevitably be the result of life and death.

Once we enter the troubled times, there will inevitably be obscenity in some mountainous areas, and cracking down on obscenity is something that every dynasty has to do since ancient times, and the faith must be unified.

Later, Buddhism was introduced, and it was also a competition for believers.

However, in the course of the long history of Bactria development, the line of faith was gradually optimized and replaced.

Buddhism itself has been divided.

Because faith has a goal, in the end, the incense of faith is attributed to one person to become a Buddha; And what about the rest?

As a result, Mahayana Buddhism appeared, and the idea of pursuing everyone to become a Buddha led to the rapid localization of Buddhism;

Taoism sees it more clearly than Buddhism, and it is actually much easier to pursue becoming an immortal and attaining Taoism than to collect faith, incense, and the power of living beings.

This is the saying that the monks preached in the prosperous times and the Taoist priests went down the mountain in the troubled times.

Of course, there is another reason why the route of faith canonization is optimized, that is, there is an upper limit, faith depends on the population, and there is an upper limit on the population, so the game of the stock market is life and death for any church.

It's like a court that can only accommodate six seats of six Shangshu, and there are only so many squatting positions in a public toilet, and two butts can't be stuffed into a pit...... Therefore, the battle of faith is often life-and-death, which will inevitably fall into endless internal friction.

And when other systems gradually develop, they can be canonized without relying on the will power of the living beings, and gradually occupy the mainstream, which will inevitably lead to fewer and fewer people who continue to gather wool with the will power of the living beings.

In the past, the number of canonizations was small, and it was the limit for a sect to support a faith canonization, and this canonization was a hierarchical suppression against others, and only the same level of canonization could be confronted, so believers were willing to follow a powerful religion and believe in the same god.

After the self-canonization route appeared, the believers discovered the fact that "if I work hard, I may have a chance to be canonized...... Why continue to worship religion when there is an opportunity to be canonized? It is better to believe in God and Buddhism than to believe in yourself, and you are canonized by the faith of the will of living beings, is it more noble than other canonizations?

After the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, this line of belief was directly eliminated.

Not to mention how difficult it is for modern society to collect faith and the power of living beings, even Taoist priests and monks themselves have given up; Just saying that if you want to engage in religion, you have to go through official review, Xuantiansi disagrees, and if you want to become a god, you have to weigh whether you are willing to stamp it.

And in a sense, trying to take the route of faith canonization is to grab food with the main body of the country.

What religion can provide is the spiritual pillar and spiritual sustenance, and in modern times, people's spiritual pillar can be a country or a nation.

Therefore, the direction of the final flow of the huge living beings' will power is the middle lake.

Bai Yu thought of this and had an idea, maybe the concept of the earth spirit and the national soul originated from the canonization of faith.

The routes that have been eliminated in Daxia have been used and developed in Yingzhou.

In fact, Yingzhou often does this kind of thing, and it is not easy to learn something from next door, but half of what he learns loses half.

Faith canonization is not beneficial to the country.

Sooner or later, religion itself will fail to adapt to changes in the productive forces and become obsolete.

Because the will power of living beings is a stock market, it will inevitably lead to fierce internal competition.

But this canonization route is not too suitable for the emperor's clan, which was already based on Shintoism.

This means that as long as you collect enough Soul Will, you can create a canon.

For the Emperor's clan, it is guaranteed that successive emperors can be canonized through the power of the living soul.

With the size of Yingzhou, it can accommodate about three to four people of faith canonization.

As a result, Yingzhou maintained a stable situation for centuries, and the power of the emperor has always been stable.

It wasn't until the samurai class that the first self-canonized person appeared.

He became the first shogun in history, and gathered the samurai to establish a new government based on the samurai.

Although it was not able to completely expel the emperor from the center of power, it was a good start for future generations of samurai.

This was the beginning of a power struggle between the emperor and the shogunate, which continues to this day.

So the situation in Yingzhou is very special.

Unlike Great Xia, the scarcity of resources and the incompleteness of the system make it unable to produce a continuous stream of transcendent groups, and the vast majority of the people have been locked in ignorance and shamelessness from generation to generation, becoming the bottom of the pyramid, contributing labor, life and even faith to help the emperor clan maintain its own ruling stability.

The shogunate was more advanced, and the shogunate ruled without external force, without faith, and on its own, and even took the initiative to promote the development of the market economy and carry out the reform of productive forces, because the shogunate controlled violence and had a complete and relatively mature system.

On the other hand, the Emperor's clan is not.

In order to absorb all kinds of believers as much as possible, Shinto has also been operated many times, and Shinto has been revised many times, for example, Buddhism Shinto is the product of one of the stages, in one of the three major Inari shrines, the main god enshrined is the female god who rides a white fox in Buddhism.

This proves that the development of both sides is inevitably the result of one trade-off.

If the shogunate really started industrialization, then the repressive power of civilization would suddenly come up.

If you don't have enough food and clothing, it's okay to rely on faith to support you, but once you are full and warm, your mind is gradually emancipated, and your eyes are opened, who still engages in faith.

There's no Toning Book or Amnesty gameplay here.

The shogunate was more advanced than the imperial family in that it was ...... The former has a complete system, which can accommodate more players and make the cake bigger; And the goal of the royal family is to make the world a family, to turn the world into a family, and let everyone keep their own acres and threes of land to cultivate.

With the passage of time, it is inevitable that the latter will be more defeated.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

"So this royal food (Yintong earns) Jin...... It was also after inheriting the position of Inari God that he was canonized by a collection of faiths? ”

"We don't know much about that." Sakata shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Seeing his attitude, Bai Yu had a similar inference in his heart.

If it's a hard power canonization, it's obviously not necessary to inherit the position of Inari God.

"Hum ......"

White elm is not underestimating the canonization of faith.

Canonization is canonization, whichever way of canonization, once successful, is canonization.

It's like the Zhun Ti and the Receiving Blessing in the Flood Wilderness are all made great wishes and the merits of the Heavenly Dao Bank loan to become holy, but it does not affect its actual combat power to rank among the saints.

But not to underestimate and not to look down on are two different things.

The Western Sect, which had been sanctified by merit, planned two catastrophes before finally paying off the loan, and was forced to work for Heavenly Dao for many years.

In the same way, there is a huge weakness in the canonization of faith.

That is not free.

You can't leave your own one-third of an acre of land.

His foundation lies in faith, the will of the living beings, and if there are many believers, they will be strong, but if the number of believers is small, they will become weak.

In the same way, the will power of living beings is nothing more than the accumulation of small amounts, and quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, but the population of Yingzhou is so large, even if it is reluctantly canonized, it will forever lose the possibility of further progress.

All my life I have to be busy collecting faith and life will.

It's okay in Great Xia, at least it's lively in Great Xia, how many people are in the ring, it's quite exciting, it can be described as a conspiracy to steal the ...... When the fight starts, it will become a god list.

But Yingzhou is boring.

Bai Yu actually didn't bother to care about the canonization here, but the matter involved Amamiya Masahiro, and this matter was a little complicated.

He couldn't help frowning.

Because he knows that he can't hold a canonization at the moment.

Bai Potian is here, and he can still pull tiger skin; It's a pity he's not there.

Of course, if you really want to tear your face, Bai Yu is not afraid.

He also held a heroic spirit card of 'Ink Dancing Mountains and Rivers' in his hand.

If the situation is really bad to that point, it's a big deal, anyway, Xiaokai is not hanging.

At that time, it will not be difficult to take Amamiya Masatsu and Nan Shiori out of Yingzhou, and the emperor will not dare to really break the net with him.

When he thought of this, he said bluntly: "Is there any paper?" ”

Sakata Liang said solemnly: "Yes, imported!" ”

Bai Yu nodded: "Take it." ”

A moment later, a roll of paper arrived.

Bai Yu looked at the paper roll in his hand and twitched the corner of his eyes.

"This, not to your liking? I remember that Great Xia used this ...... Is it not soft enough? Ryo Sakata asked in a low voice.

"Going out of your way to import toilet paper is really unbearable." Bai Yu threw away the toilet paper: "The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are ready, and I want to write a letter of worship." ”

Nan Chanel took the initiative to come forward to help with the ink.

Although the people of Daxia no longer use brushes for daily writing, the big family in Yingzhou still retains the habit of writing with brushes for formal correspondence.

Bai Yu put down the pen casually, using the standard Daxia script, but just a few lines to explain the meaning.

Then the paper ink is quickly evaporated and solidified, folded and stuffed into an envelope without a seal.

"I'll send it to Inari Taisha within today and hand it over to the palace secretary of Inari Taisha."

Minami Chanel took the envelope.

Leave the room respectfully.

Then I saw that the envelope was received by Ryo Sakata.

"This letter is very important, I will deliver it myself!"

He glanced at his daughter: "Stay here and entertain your son!" ”

Minami Chanel nodded yes.

She still remembers what her father said ten years ago when he chose her to go to the Nan family as a lineage exchange.

- Don't blame me for being ruthless, this is the greatest wealth that your father can give you, you must remember that you should be married out, but not the Nan family! As for who you are marrying...... You'll be able to know sooner or later. ’

In fact, she had seen it.

Nan Chana has been studying Daxia for the past ten years.

Even from a distance, you can see what he wrote, especially the few strokes he wrote.

It was also the first time I knew the other party's surname.

She stood in the courtyard, unable to calm down for a long time.

As her father said, it was indeed a splash of wealth that she had never imagined.

The Nan family, how can he be virtuous, but he was favored by the dragon in the sky.

……

In the car.

Ryo Sakata sat in the back row, slowly opened the envelope, spread out the paper, and the text of the inscription came into view.

His pupils contracted violently, and he quickly closed the paper and put it back in the envelope, pretending not to see anything.

It's just that the driver in the front seat noticed that his slightly trembling hands pressed his face, and through the gap, he could see the middle-aged man's grinning teeth and the corners of his lips raised.
