Chapter 552: Difficult to Settle
The monks of the family have all handed over their spiritual resources.
Then, on the second day, there were the big families in the city, who also followed the example of the family, with a register in one hand and a storage bag in the other, as if they were handing over the grain. Wuxu is not more serious, and still asks Xu Chuanshan and Li Mingshan to accept all the orders, at most a few simple questions. Then, on the third day, there were some scattered cultivators who planned to stay in Yongzhou, there were a few, but there were dozens of people, and Wuxu also ordered them to be registered one by one, as for the amount of spiritual resources handed over, they didn't care. Of course, there are also those who didn't come. However, Wuxu doesn't plan to pursue it now.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the left and right generals, but they were different. One by one, they inspected the past. Everywhere they went, they first gathered their personnel, and then the soldiers divided into two routes, taking out the storage bags on the spot one by one, and at the same time searching the residence in detail. If there is a disobedient or resistant, Zhu Yuanzhang will directly march the military method and kill them on the spot. So much so that some of the monks in the camp quietly fled after receiving the news. Zhu Yuanzhang, where is he willing to give up easily, in front of the army roster, pick out these fugitives one by one, and record them into another book. After that, he ordered the left and right staff generals to lead a team of monks to pursue and arrest them everywhere.
For a while, the city seemed calm and safe.
The spiritual materials and spiritual objects that were confiscated were counted and stored by Li Mingshan and Xu Chuanshan. Wuxu sat in the secret room, thinking about the preparation of the monastery.
According to some whims before Wuxu, the monastery is to accept all the monks of Yongzhou, regardless of the family's scattered cultivation, whether it is good or evil, regardless of cultivation. Spiritual resources, and even spiritual practices, are assigned and opened up based on temporary tasks and fixed assessments, so as to restrain and improve them.
But there are still a few key issues that Wuxu has to think carefully.
First of all, there is the relationship between the city lord's mansion, the garrison, and the monastery. The monastery, if established, will inevitably become a force to be reckoned with. De jure, it may still be the city lord's palace and the garrison who exercise great power, but in practice there will inevitably be some conflicts and transfers of rights. The transfer of this kind of right is actually due to the restructuring and change of the law, and the collection of spiritual resources, spiritual objects, and even monks' methods. If all the monks are required to hand over all the spiritual resources and even the monks' methods, they must be given other reciprocal compensation, otherwise, they will inevitably be hindered and cause trouble. This is also why, on the first day of the implementation of the spiritual order, Wuxu went straight to the point and proposed this proposal during the banquet with the five heads of the family.
Secondly, is the monastery, does it need a purpose? If so, what is this purpose? How can this purpose be expressed? There are good and evil sects, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is the imperial dynasty, so it is impossible to serve the monks wholeheartedly, right?
Secondly, there is the power structure of the monastery. At present, the reform and reform of the law naturally means that Wuxu, the city lord and garrison general, must have the leading power, but it is impossible for him to monopolize the power alone. Not to mention, absolute all-out efforts produce absolute corruption, that is, according to the principle of equal power and responsibility, Wuxu does not want to shoulder too many responsibilities because of power. Are you tired? Do you still want to practice? Besides, other forces will not approve and support it. This requires a good power structure design.
Finally, after the establishment of the monastery, how will the lay people be settled? One of the reasons why Wuxu conceived the establishment of the monastery was to consider how to settle the lay people in the current restructuring and reform. He had an immature idea, that is, to establish a monastery and take advantage of the opportunity of Yongzhou monks to establish an invisible boundary between monks and laymen. In this way, ordinary people are equivalent to having a relatively independent and closed space.
These issues, seemingly independent and carefully studied, are secretly inextricably linked and affect each other.
Wuxu suddenly laughed dumbly, thinking of a book he had read in his previous life, "Ideal Country". Of course, I am not a philosopher with profound thoughts, nor am I a great cultivator who calls for wind and rain, but I practice Buddhism, and I always think that all sentient beings are equal and universalize. As a Buddhist monk, a true spirit level, and now he is the city lord general or something, if he changes the system and changes the law here, shouldn't he be like Pudu sentient beings?
In this case, Wuxu thought that he would inevitably have to plan carefully. Instead, simply cross the river by feeling the stones and fight your way out. After all, in terms of power, Wuxu is now the lord of Yongzhou City and the general of the garrison, and in terms of cultivation, Wuxu is a true spirit monk, a monk of Yongzhou City, and the highest cultivation level is the true spirit level, that is, the true spirit level. Although he is not a philosopher king, although he is not a general cultivator, but he has such an advantageous opportunity, how can he not plan carefully?
In the previous life of Wuxu, or the world of time and space, throughout the ages, there have been many reforms and changes, most of them failed, and some succeeded. The course of history is both inevitable and contingent.
In general, the inevitability of the historical process of a single system is greater than the chance. Therefore, the fundamental reason for the failure is that the accidental factors such as personal ability and improper employment are not greater than the historical inevitability factors at that time. Those who succeed often conform to the trend of history and grasp the inevitable factors of history at the critical juncture of the historical process. Of course, it is often difficult to distinguish between the contingency and inevitability of history, without the progress and innovation of science and technology.
But with multiple systems, the situation is even more complicated. Multiple systems, at best, different races, different nationalities, and at a lesser level, different countries, different tribes, in a finite time and space, their respective historical processes are much more complex. Because between multiple systems, in a finite time and space, their relationship is, by their very nature, more competitive than cooperative. The so-called competition, the most fierce or superlative form of expression, is war. Military wars, economic wars, and so on. And the victory or defeat of wars, between opponents of the same level, is often full of chance.
The above is an unquantified reflection and deduction. However, we can use extreme thinking to conclude that if there is neither scientific and technological progress nor innovation nor the role of external systems, but only the internal inherent relations, it will inevitably fail.
So, Wuxu thought of another question. Above the Xuanyin, in the world of monks, it seems that he has not seen any progress and innovation in the cultivation method (corresponding to technology) for the time being, so this reform and change of the law must pay more attention to the role of the "external system". Those Xuanxuan overhauls, because of some external reasons, broke out, changed the dynasty, changed the system, changed the law, Wuxu didn't know, but Wuxu thought of the demon domain outside Yongzhou City. This time, Yongzhou changed the law, what is the situation of the bordering demon domain, and how to deal with it, this is also a problem.
In addition, Wu Xuan deeply believes that if we reform and change the law according to the theory of the cycle of cause and effect in Buddhism, we must respect history and the current situation, and there is no history and current situation without cause and effect. Wuxu still remembers that in his previous life, a restructuring and law change, overnight, tens of millions of people were laid off, there was no N+1 compensation, the screws who used to work overtime, and the model workers who respected their jobs and loved their jobs, decades later, they became the lazy moths of the so-called successful people's mouths, and even fell into the dust. The so-called scraping bones to heal wounds, a strong man breaks his wrist, how heroic, how tragic. It's just that this cycle of cause and effect is gone? It's just that all living beings are equal, so why should some people bear the cost of reforming the law for no reason?
Enlightenment, sitting in the secret room, wants to enter meditation, but can't enter meditation, and has thousands of thoughts. Only, hand seals, chanting Buddha names, sometimes low eyebrows, sometimes angry eyes.
