Chapter 30 The Tribesmen Believe in the Doctrine of the Confession

Listening to Du Teng's talk about Yue Teng's small actions, Zhao Ran replied: "I heard that there is such a thing, but I don't know the details yet. ”

Du Teng would turn around and look up the bookcase, pick out a copy from a pile of documents, and hand it to Zhao Ran: "Take a look." ”

After Zhao Ran took it, he saw that it was a "Ministry of Faith and Taoism", and then immediately read it seriously.

Yue Tengzhong's book "The Advice of the Ministries on Faith and Taoism" mainly talks about how to promote the belief of the people of the Song Domain, according to his advice, including the following three articles:

The first is "beating the snake and hitting the seven inches", but the word "fighting" is not "beating" in the original sense, but it means that the focus should be placed on the toasts and the big and small heads, that is, if you want to let the people of the ministries believe, the key is to let the people of the ministries and the big and small people believe. And in order to do this, it is necessary to adopt a gentle strategy and win over the toasts and big and small heads. The specific measures include recognizing the tribal system inherited by the Tusi and the heads of each ministry, giving the Tusi of each ministry as defense envoys and regimental training envoys, and granting the large and small heads as thousands of households and hundreds of households, and bringing them under the jurisdiction of the imperial court from their official positions.

The second is that "it is advisable to be slow rather than urgent", that is to say, it is not advisable to be impatient and rash, but to slow down and slow down, and not to use overly radical means to provoke the people of all ministries, and should do their best to unite and maintain the existing system of all ministries, recognize history, and focus on the future, so as to prevent the occurrence of chaos among the people, thus affecting the stability of the Song Domain and the overall situation of the Ming army's strategy against the Western Xia. This includes respecting the folklore and habits of the tribes, understanding their ambiguity about the beliefs caused by cognitive biases, and accommodating the freedom of their personal beliefs for at least 10 years.

Finally, there is "absorption and separation", which is a suggested means on how to achieve the goal of making the people believe in the Tao, and these means include giving a certain amount of money and food subsidies to the various departments of the Song Domain every year to solve their difficult life; for those who are willing to enter the Tao, priority is given to those who are willing to enter the Tao, those who are willing to go out of the army are given a fixed quota for the imperial examination, and those who are willing to join the army are given double the money and food pension; and the annual field service can be reduced or reduced as appropriate......

In the end, through the above-mentioned policies, the people of all ministries and tribes felt the favor of the Taoist sect and the imperial court, so that they could feel grateful, so that they consciously and voluntarily regarded themselves as Ming people, so that the matter of believing in Taoism would come naturally.

After reading it, Zhao Ran shook his head: "Yue Tengzhong is coming at me, it seems that I did things in Hongyuan, and they are not very happy." ”

Du Teng would laugh and say: "They think that if you do this, you may be able to get a temporary increase in credibility, which is good for the Zongsheng Pavilion, but it is not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the Song Domain, and it will definitely cause all kinds of rights and wrongs to the Governor's Mansion and the imperial court in the future." ”

"What do you think of the Du Prison Yuan?"

"I learned the Taoist scriptures at the age of nine, entered the Taoist sect at the age of eighteen, and I have dedicated my life to the Taoist gate for decades, so of course I have to sit on the side of the Taoist gate, and sit on the side of the Zongsheng Hall. Moreover, I have seen the development of Hongyuan in the past two years, and I don't know where they said that 'it is not conducive to the long-term stability of the Song Domain', I don't see it at all. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Don't thank me, this is also my duty, all these years, I have been thinking, who we should do things for, how to do things, I have figured it out, but some people always don't understand, hehe. ”

These small actions do add to people's blockages, but it is difficult to make waves in the overall situation of the Song Domain now, Zhao Ran just shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

Returning to the White Horse Courtyard from the Tianhe Palace, along the way, Zhao Ran was thinking about the next step to equip the Yongzhen Spirit Snake Courtyard with an abbot.

One is Cao Yuzhu, and the other is Yu Yuqi, both of whom are now hovering at the peak of the Yushi Realm, and have not yet formed a Dan fetus. Cao Yuzhu has been in the Yushi realm for 12 years, and Yu Yuqi has been in the Yushi realm for 10 years, these two are bitter and bitter masters, and they can't break through in the mountains anyway, so they can only pull them out and slip around.

The good thing is that these two have both audited the short-term crash course for the abbot that Zhao Ran gave to Senior Sister Zheng, and they must have a preliminary idea of how to be a qualified monk abbot. The disadvantage is that the positions of these two are not high, and there are some scientific ceremonies that can only be presided over by a monk of the Yellow Crown Realm, but these two can't do it. However, this is not a big disadvantage, Zhao Ran can continue to find a few Yushi Realm hosts from the Zhaijiao Dayi to supplement their shortcomings.

The only problem is that the two of them have not entered the yellow crown, which does not meet the requirements of the edict issued by the general view. However, the Song Domain is located in a remote area, and there are no outsiders, and the responsibility of dealing with the jungle of the Ten Directions is up to him alone, and when he reports it, he will say that these two are in the realm of the Yellow Crown, and they are just not punished, who can tell the difference? The two low-level monks, who will really go to investigate? There are really people who want to make a fuss about this, and it is a big deal to say that they have neglected to supervise, and the replacement is to change people, and the general view has not issued punishment regulations, and there is no cost to cheat, so there is no need to look ahead and backward.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ran received another flying talisman from Bai Geng, saying that the two hundred Han slaves exchanged for Li Guangxian's black materials had been sent out half a month ago, and he hoped that the abbot would check it. At the same time, Gao Yanei, the representative of the Cheng Dong family, sent another request to continue to ask for black materials, especially the black materials about Wu Huawen, the commander of the left wing of the White Horse Supervision and Military Division.

Zhao Ran returned to the White Horse Courtyard, immediately turned out the pile of black materials, found a report by Wu Huawen on delaying the delivery of military rations to the Xia Army Camp in Baima Mountain for three days, deleted the content that reported that his own food stock was insufficient, and then gave Bai Geng: "This material will cost them three hundred people." ”

There were several dossiers piled up on the table that needed to be reviewed by Zhao Ran, including the return of the charity gold and loan of 300 taels of silver from the White Horse Academy, the organization of the people to continue to build private houses outside the First Ring Road, and the granting of the official Taoist certificate to the fireworker Zhou Hualong (this person was a relative who was arranged by the political envoy Zhou Yi to enter the White Horse Courtyard two years ago) and so on.

There is also a report on the naturalization of the people of Xiaojie Temple, and Zhao Ran also paid attention to it, and last month, a total of 17 families of Longbai tribe and 23 households of Chama tribe fled to the bottom of the mountain, totaling nearly 200 people, an increase of 20% over December last year.

It seems that the fleeing trend of these two parts is intensifying, and Zhao Ran is very happy about this.

After reading the official document, Zhao Ran, accompanied by Li Zhike of the Ketang and Guan Er of the Fangtang Hall, went to the Hongyuan Shouyu to meet Ning Shouyu and discuss the establishment of a Taoist temple in Yuedu.

With the White Horse Courtyard as the mainstay, the small street temple to the three, and the Moon Temple to the border garrison, the most fully collected all the credibility of all kinds of people on the territory of the Red Plains, this is Zhao Ran's structural arrangement for the Red Plains preaching, it is expected that after the completion of the Moon Temple, it will contribute more than 60,000 gui to the Red Plains every year.

Regarding the candidate for the Moon Temple Temple, Zhao Ran has already chosen, through the text of the Tianhe Palace, Jin Jiu of the Wuji Courtyard in Guyang County is already on the way to the Song Domain, and after he arrives, Zhao Ran is ready to hand over the Moon Temple to him.

Before this, the preparations for the Moon Temple were all handed over to Li Zhike and Ning Shouyu, after this matter was completed, Zhao Ran was ready to let Li Zhike Jin White Horse Academy talk about the position, and the vacant Zhike position was replaced by the current Xiaojie Temple Lu Miaozhu, for Lu Miaozhu, taking over the important Zhike function, this is to include him in the next promotion list, and it is also considered a reward. And the vacant Fang of Lu Fang is the head of the office, and Guan Er is on top.

The address of the Moon Temple has been selected, and the construction will officially start on February 1, striving to be completed within two months.
