"Do you say that when I see the Buddha, do you need to bow down?" Liu Tai looked at the gentle-looking Buddha Tucheng in front of him and said.

At this moment, Buddha Tucheng's forehead was also sweating profusely, because he really didn't understand that he was eating and chanting Buddha in the temple, and Liu Tai and his soldiers surrounded the temple with great momentum.

Every monk in the temple was escorted, and the soldiers put the blade in their hands on the necks of these monks, apparently with the intention of destroying the temple if they did not agree with each other.

Then Liu Tai came in calmly, and after seeing Buddha Tucheng, he asked such a sentence.

Fo Tucheng knows Liu Tai, after all, there are not many people who can make the entire Yecheng have the effect of Zhang Liao's crying, just such a person.

So whether it is Liu Tai's expedition or Liu Tai's return, Fo Tucheng has seen Liu Tai's appearance.

There is no way, with the fall of Shile, all the connections that Fo Tucheng managed to manage are invalid.

In this case, Fo Tucheng knows very well that he needs to hug Liu Tai's thigh, otherwise it will be really difficult for the Buddhist family to operate.

But I never thought that my first meeting with Liu Tai would be like this, it was terrifying!

At this moment, Buddha Tucheng hurriedly spoke: "The king sees the Buddha and the Buddha sees the king, why should he salute. ”

"I'm a Buddha, do you want to transform me?" Liu Tai couldn't help but say when he heard Buddha Tucheng's words.

Buddha Tucheng hurriedly said, "The body is from the heart, the heart sees the Buddha, the Buddha's heart is the heart, the king crosses the other side with the heart, and he is the Buddha of the world!" ”

"I can't tell you the truth!" Liu Tai looked at Buddha Tucheng and said helplessly, "So let's talk about physics!" ”

When Fo Tucheng heard Liu Tai's words, he was a little dumbfounded, let's continue to play meditation.

It's unreasonable, this makes me a little scared, what is the so-called physics, it makes you so confident?!

Liu Taidao: "It's okay for your subordinates to spread Buddhism under Shi Le's hands, but the problem is to train Buddhist soldiers, so that the soldiers lose their nature, and they are specially trained for my Han soldiers."

That's it, I've killed all the people in your temple, and I'm sure no one dares to say anything about my fault! ”

"The king is magnanimous, it is really a blessing for my Buddhist family!" Buddha Tucheng heard Liu Tai's words, but he couldn't help answering.

At this time, Liu Tai said calmly, "I didn't say to forgive you, you don't need to bring me a top hat so soon, I saw you come out to spread Buddhism, how about it, are you interested in unifying Buddhism and becoming the authentic Buddhism of my Han Dynasty!" ”

"The Great King wants to spread the Dharma?" Buddha Tucheng didn't expect that Liu Tai was actually interested in Buddhism, which was incredible.

"I have no interest in spreading the Dharma, but now there are many traitors and evasion people in Shamen, if the main promotion of Buddhism, I am afraid that more people will flee in the future, so it will not reduce the tax revenue of my Han Dynasty!"

Liu Tai said solemnly, "I believe that the abbot doesn't want the Buddhist family to become the first choice for hiding dirt and dirt in the future!" ”

When Buddha Tucheng heard Liu Tai's words, although he thought in his heart that even if it became a place to hide filth and dirt, as long as I could spread Buddhism, I wouldn't mind, but in the face of Liu Tai's gaze, I really couldn't say it!

And Liu Tai said calmly, "I want to unify Buddhism and become the only Buddhist theory compiled by the official, and the rest of the Buddhist miscellaneous theories are all fake books, I wonder if the abbot is interested in being the compiler of this Buddhism?" ”

"This is a great blessing for my Buddha, if you can participate in the poor monks will pray for the king day and night, and hope that the Han will prosper for ten thousand years!"

Fo Tucheng did not have any reserve in the face of Liu Tai, Fo Tucheng understood very well that if this kind of thing can become the official text, then it is equivalent to consolidating the foundation of his own school of Buddhism, and as long as the Han Dynasty is not destroyed in the future, there will naturally be a way for Buddhism to live.

"Well, since the abbot is willing to join, it is naturally a blessing, but I also need to mention my request!"

Liu Tai looked at Buddha Tucheng but didn't hide anything, as if I was just here to talk about the conditions.

"The abbot needs to sign a treaty with the Han on behalf of the Buddhists, and all monks who spread Buddhism in the Han Dynasty and build temples need to be officially canonized, and those who are not canonized are not considered monks.

Under the law, the temple acres need to be taxed, and the monks also need to serve as a levy, but the cost of registered servitude can be deducted with money to count as a special exception, and if there is miscellaneous labor, it is charged with the "miscellaneous service tax".

Buddhist temples need to have specific precepts, and martial law is imposed on monks, and if dirt is found, the law comes first.

In addition, the children of the Buddhist family are not allowed to eat meat, marry wives and have children, and are not allowed to covet property.

If you can't even keep your poverty and can't endure it, how can it be regarded as faith. ”

Liu Tai stopped here and said, "Let's stop here for the time being, and I can think of something to continue to increase the precepts in the future!" ”

To be honest, Liu Tai did not intend to destroy Buddhism, or that India had not been destroyed, and sooner or later Buddhism would spread to the Han Dynasty again.

There is absolutely no way to avoid it, and what you think of as a demise is only a nirvana for many doctrines.

Often, when the doctrine is rediscovered, older trees will sprout new shoots and become more vigorous.

And Liu Tai's attitude towards Buddhism is the same, although this thing has such and such dross and garbage, but sooner or later this thing will be absorbed by Chinese culture and become a part of Han culture.

Even if you stop it, there will be more rulers who destroy Buddha, and you can't really exterminate Buddha culture, so why bother with it.

Therefore, what Liu Tai wanted was to unify the thoughts and doctrines of Buddhism from the very beginning.

It is like respecting Confucianism alone, unifying the Buddhist doctrines, and then establishing the legal foundation that establishes the secular law over the Dharma, and using the Buddhist rules and precepts to organize itself, so that Buddhism can get on the right track and standardize it.

Liu Tai knew very well that even if the regulations were formulated in detail, the Buddhists would definitely take advantage of the loopholes, and even in the future, the Buddhists would say too much about enlightening and increasing wisdom, and the future rulers would definitely give the Buddhists a special gift and exempt them from forced labor and taxes.

Even Liu Tai can't change this, after all, the Holy Monarch model always depends on the virtuous degree of the ruler.

But he only needs to do this himself, and then when the emperor wants to restrict Buddhism, it is enough to use his own example to restrict Buddhism.

After all, as long as there is an emperor who wants to act, who doesn't want his money bag to get bigger and bigger, who will watch the monks in the Buddhist temple eat with their mouths full of oil, and as a result, they don't even have the money to build a courtyard.

All in all, as long as there is a precedent in China, future generations will naturally take this precedent over.

When anyone uses the examples or words of the sages to prove himself, it is often not how reasonable the words of the sages are, but just because he wants to prove himself right.

Moreover, in this part of China, no religion is allowed to be more awesome than the emperor, because the emperor can speak physics!

Buddha Tucheng didn't expect that Liu Tai would say so many requirements for the Buddhist family at once.

To be honest, Buddha Tucheng still didn't react for a while.

But soon, Fo Tucheng's face showed a satisfied and happy smile, and even a little excited.

Because even if it is Buddha Tucheng, at most, he just wants to spread the doctrine of Buddhism, which is not as far as Liu Tai imagined.

At this time, it was not a pillow that was sleepy at all, but it suddenly began to rain in the sky, and Fo Tucheng felt that happiness came too quickly, and he couldn't catch it!

At this time, Buddhism was not one of the three major religions in the world, and they were suffering from the hammer of native Hinduism in India, although at first the Buddhist theory of reincarnation was indeed very attractive to Indians.

But then Hinduism absorbed Buddhist doctrine and made Hindus say that it is indeed good that reincarnation has an afterlife, but if you are reincarnated, you can't be the feet of God, get out! Lao Tzu does not want reincarnation, Lao Tzu wants to be the feet of God.

It can be said that Buddhism was driven out of India by Hinduism, of course, Buddhism is still competing with Hinduism, but as Buddhism continues to spread to the East through the Silk Road, it can be seen that Buddhism is actually at a disadvantage in India itself.

The reason is also very simple, the family wants to stay in their hometown, and the family is poor and goes to another country, this sentence can also be applied to many religions.

If it weren't really impossible to live, who would want to travel thousands of miles from India to the Han Dynasty to spread Buddhism!

Look at the Taoism of the Han Dynasty, it is because it has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of Chinese culture and has been staying in the land of China.

Tao Te Ching's theory of dealing with the world, although it sounds cloudy, but it is directly pointing to people's hearts and human nature, as long as they are smart people, they can basically understand one or two from the Tao Te Ching, which makes the Taoist Taoist system completely unbreakable.

As long as the book "Tao Te Ching" is still there, then Taoism will always be passed down among the Chinese nation.

Because of this, Taoism is integrated into the Chinese foundation, so that Taoism has no feeling of going out at all.

At the same time, compared to Buddhism cultivating the afterlife, Taoism is telling you to live and live well.

The people at the bottom of this kind of truth are baptized every day, and when they read the Taoist classics, they must have a deep understanding.

At the same time, the poor have the teaching of the poor, and the rich also have the way of living, like many people who practice in Taoism, basically they have no worries about food and clothing and feel empty and lonely, while Taoist practitioners will tell you that you should eat, sleep, and live every day.

As for why Taoism is the most rebellious doctrine, it is naturally very simple, a court makes people unable to live in this life, so if such a court is not overthrown, then how can people practice, or let more people live, for Taoists, this is a kind of cultivation in itself.

To be honest, Liu Tai wants to change the attitude of Buddhism to Taoism.

But I still gave up after thinking about it, and I still only want the Buddhists to pay taxes obediently, and leave other things to history to solve.

It is not only necessary to believe in the wisdom of future generations, but the Chinese civilization has really completely digested the Buddhist doctrine.

Liu Tai and Fo Tucheng soon reached an agreement, and his own court helped Fo Tucheng to unify the Buddhist doctrine and revise it, and Fo Tucheng expressed his support for the Han Dynasty on behalf of the Buddhist family.

Like what kind of grain and grass is naturally willing to take out to support the Han, and even Buddha Tucheng has a little bit of meaning to give.

In fact, Liu Tai decisively said that as the king of Qi, how could he be embarrassed to take advantage of Buddha Tucheng, he would definitely have to spend money to buy it.

These salt stamps will first buy the grain and grass of your temple, and wait until next year when Zhangshui thaws and shipping opens, and these salt stamps can be used smoothly.

Fo Tucheng looked at the salt ticket that Liu Tai gave him and accepted it, but it was a pity that Liu Tai actually gave the money!

To be honest, more important than materials is confidence.

After Liu Tai defeated Shi Le, the salt stamps that were originally in the hands of these families suddenly began to be able to be used.

Because they didn't know whether Liu Tai could defeat Shi Le, or whether they could defeat Liu Yao after defeating Shi Le, they were certain uncertain about using the salt ticket, after all, there was a risk in it.

But now, with Liu Tai capturing Liu Yao, destroying Shile, and ensuring the correctness of his regime with absolute force, these families naturally have enough confidence in Liu Tai.

For them, although the salt hall has not yet reopened due to heavy snow and ice, they all believe that as the ice and snow melt and the waterway passes, salt tickets can be exchanged for salt.

Naturally, the salt stamps in their hands could be re-used as currency and began to circulate in this trading market.

Therefore, Liu Tai came to Fotucheng here, not just to take advantage of an opportunity to sell grain.

If there is a favor between the two sides, then I am afraid that Liu Tai will give Buddha Tucheng more favor, after all, the Buddhist doctrine spread by Buddha Tucheng from now on will become the orthodoxy of all Buddhist doctrines.

In contrast, Fo Tucheng wanted to understand cause and effect by sending food, but Liu Tai was just buying and selling, at least Fo Tucheng felt that he had made a lot of money.

Liu Tai knew very well that compared with other people of this era, he only regarded Buddhism as a foreign doctrine, and did not know that this strange doctrine of Buddhism had completely become one of the most important religions in China.

There is no way, this doctrine of the afterlife is so useful to appease the people, especially those who are in need.

Especially for the rulers, where could there be more happiness than to make the people willing to carry out their own shortcomings and make up for the flesh-eaters, since the advent of private ownership, exploitation itself is a pleasure!

So I need to pull Ge Hong back.

Let him temporarily come out of the ocean of knowledge and begin to exercise targeted restraint against this Buddhist doctrine.

Anyway, Liu Tai doesn't know who Buddha Tucheng is, but Ge Hong, the little immortal who created the nine-character mantra, is a figure that Taoism can't get around no matter what, and Ge Hong can definitely crush Buddhism to death.

When Ge Hong created the theoretical knowledge of the origin of the world, let science and technology enter the homes of ordinary people, and let them experience the benefits brought by the progress of productivity, then the idea of using Taoism to balance Buddhism can be successfully realized.

Then it is to guide the emergence of Confucianism, so that these three can maintain a certain degree of dynamic balance, so that Chinese history can return to the mainstream trend of the integration of the three religions.

Liu Tai took a deep breath, no matter how he had the food purchased from Fo Tucheng, some simple work could finally be carried out smoothly on this snowy day.
