Chapter Forty-Eight: The Interpretation of the State Festival

When Zhao Ji heard this kind of thing, where was he unwilling, he almost immediately drove to the state, and issued a holy decree to let the palaces and temples in the world send people.

The three major stubborn diseases of the Northern Song Dynasty were redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses. Wang Anshi changed the law and changed back and forth, but he didn't dare to involve these problems at all. What kind of open source does not throttle, that is, desperately scraping money from the common people, but has not thought of a way to stop the three redundancies and save the expenses of the imperial court. It has the style of the rich and poor people of the Celestial Empire in later generations.

The imperial court has a tax revenue of 70 or 80 million yuan a year, but it overspends every year and runs a deficit every year. No matter how hard Cai Jing makes money, he suddenly understands the pool, which is more than 10 million yuan a year, and almost accounts for one-fifth of the imperial court's income. It's also very stretched, and it is almost impossible to pay the soldiers' salaries.

When this kind of thing happened, even Zhao Ji, who had no heart and no lungs, couldn't sit still in the palace. In view of the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, how many mutinies did the Tang Dynasty lead because it could not pay military salaries? Even the emperor was driven out of Chang'an City.

The Song Dynasty was the most taboo on this matter, and military expenditures accounted for seventy percent of revenue. With such a terrifying proportion, the imperial court has to grit its teeth and persevere. As soon as he heard that he almost couldn't even pay his military salary, Zhao Ji felt that his throne was not so stable, and he was scared to wake up several times when he slept at night, for fear that there would be a mutiny and the chaotic army would enter the palace. I can't wait to urge it every day, so that Wen Fei can quickly repair the salt pond.

Wen Fei asked him to come forward to order the world's Daomen, at this time, he could repair the Jiechi, Zhao Ji was willing to agree to anything, don't say that this is the order of the world's Daomen, presiding over this Luo Tiandajiao.

These Taoist priests just don't give Wen Fei face, they have to give face to the emperor. However, in just two or three days, the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient, and the speed of information transmission was extremely slow, even if it was 600 miles expedited, it had not yet been sent to the city of Tokyo.

However, the Taoist priests from some prefectures and counties near Jiezhou first received Wen Fei's edict, and many of them sent people to rush over. It's just that there are more ordinary Taoist priests, and fewer Taoist priests who have practice.

As soon as Chen Nimaru came back. Sure enough, there was good news. Zhang Jixian has already agreed, and he will bring his disciples to Jiezhou in the near future.

It's just that you have to know that from Jiangxi to Shanxi, it will take a day or two to take a car in later generations. In this era, the fastest means of transportation are by boat, and Zhang Jixian has to invite many colleagues to come together. Set up a field for Wen Fei. Otherwise, there are too few people coming, and you must know that Wen Fei, the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country, has a bad face as the Taoist leader.

After waiting for more than ten days, Zhang Jixian has not yet arrived. Instead, another unexpected person arrived. It was actually Liu Mingkang from Maoshan Sect, not only did he come alone, but he also brought hundreds of people. All of them are the disciples and grandchildren of the Shangqing faction in Maoshan Mountain, and there are some friends and friends.

After getting the news, Wen Fei suddenly gasped from between his teeth with a "hiss", this Liu Mingkang is here to make trouble, right? He has always regarded this Mr. Huayang as an imaginary enemy, and in front of Zhao Ji, he did not give this Maoshan grandmaster eye medicine, who let the Taoist Wang Yuncheng who used the Nightmare Town Law to harm him in the palace be a Maoshan Taoist, and he is not dead. It is also Liu Mingkang's disciple......

Wen Fei made full preparations and brought Lin Lingsu, Chen Ni Pill, and Wang Wenqing out. They are all ready to turn their faces and make a move at any time, so Wen Fei took a stand and didn't go out to greet him, waiting for Liu Mingkang to come to meet him, and then give him a dismount first.

But he didn't want Liu Mingkang to be very polite, so he really came to visit. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "The Taoist priest of the Shangqing faction on Maoshan Mountain, see the Taoist Sect Leader Protector Heavenly Master!"

Such a scene. The startled Wen Fei fidgeted. I thought about everything, but I didn't expect that Liu Mingkang would make such a fuss...... For a while, Wen Fei was at a loss.

Liu Mingkang then expressed his loyalty: "I have already gone to Beijing and are going to visit the sect leader, but I don't want to borrow the sect leader's edict, so I don't dare to be a little slack. I'm here in Jiezhou!"

"That...... That one...... Wen Fei really didn't know what to say. After holding it for a long time, he said: "Mr. Huayang has worked hard from afar, and please rest, and then ......vacuum Mr. in the evening."

Something like that. Wen Fei has been talking a lot these days, and there are more and more Taoist priests arriving nearby these days. As the sect leader, Wen Fei always has to meet and say a few words of comfort.

But Wen Fei didn't figure out a truth, when Zhao Ji canonized him, the biggest power he gave him was to be in charge of Taoist affairs in the world. And the Imperial Court is naturally under the jurisdiction of Wen Fei, and only recognizes the scriptures issued by Wen Fei. Originally, all factions could open the general altar, such as the Maoshan faction had the "Shangqing Altar", the Lingbao faction had the "Lingbao Altar", and the Xishan faction had the "Jingming Altar".

Awarded prayer jars.

But now the imperial court only recognizes the job vouchers issued by the Shenxiao Mansion, and without the job vouchers issued by the Shenxiao Mansion, it is not a Taoist, at least the court does not let you be a Taoist.

It's just that such a power is in the hands of Wen Fei, and Taoist priests all over the world must obediently bow their heads and obey orders.

Originally, only after the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi was named the "Zhengyi Sect Master" and presided over the Three Mountains Fu, so the Three Mountains (including Jingming) Fufu were all under the control of the Han Tianshi Fu of Longhu Mountain, and the "Zhengyi Xuantan" was changed to "Wanfa Sect Altar". Since then, the Wanfa Sect Altar has become the only altar of the Zhengyi School, and it is also an important symbol of the Heavenly Master's Mansion as the ancestral court of Taoism.

But now it was cut off by Wen Fei one step earlier, and all the major factions in the world were collected in the Shenxiao Mansion. Wen Fei has one of the greatest powers in Taoism. That's why Wen Fei's method is so easy to use...... If he has no real power in vain, I don't know how many people will pay attention to his Wen Great Sect Master!

Therefore, Wen Fei secretly thought about it, although this Zhao Ji was not very good as the emperor. But it's really good for yourself. So I was a little dissatisfied with Chen Niwan's secret accusation of himself in private, if you don't say it, I also know that those Jurchens will establish the Jin State and destroy the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

But don't forget jì, the master of Wenda is a traverser. There is no one who does not change history. What's more, at most, people will cross over once, and they will be mixed up, and they will wear and wear it themselves, what are they afraid of? Big deal, when the time comes, the sect leader will think of a way to get tens of thousands of machine guns, and see if the cavalry of those Jurchens is powerful, or the bullets of the sect leader are powerful......

As a person with vested interests, it would be too stupid to betray his own country!

Sending Liu Mingkang and those Maoshan disciples to rest, Wen Fei always felt a little unsteady in his heart, and felt that Liu Mingkang's attitude was a little too weird. I have always been a little unstable in my heart. always felt that Liu Mingkang was so deferential, did he have some idea behind his back. (To be continued.)
