Chapter 52: The Open Heaven Bible

The next moment, the palm of the White Lotus Monk left Zhenbao's head, and said with a wry smile: "Zhenbao, the survival and survival of my Wutai Mountain Manjushri Dao system depends on you!"

Zhenbao was shocked and shouted: "Uncle Shi, you are the highest person in my Wutai cultivation, and your cultivation has entered the colorless realm......"

"Divine power is invincible to the mandate of heaven, how can the Dharma break the cause and effect?" Today, I will ...... with my body," he said, and a white lotus flew out above his head, and a golden Bodhisattva sat on top of the white lotus, which was the image of this monk.

The golden light illuminates the land of ten zhang, and the sky is full of fragrant rain and treasures. Then, the monk's Dharma body rushed straight up, but it was swallowed by the dragon's mouth.

With a loud bang, a golden light exploded, and the belly of the dragon was plated with a layer of golden light, and the golden light continued to spread, dyeing the entire dragon in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the golden light and the dragon all disappeared cleanly.

At this time, the body of the White Lotus Monk was blown by the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into inches of ashes......

The True Treasure monk knelt on the ground and whispered a mantra in his mouth. In the middle of the mountains, the bell rang again. This time, it was to say goodbye to this monk who defended the way to death......

The Xie Zhou play was held for fifty or sixty days in a row, even if Luo Tian's Jiao was over. The world's high roads gathered in one city to compile the fundamental classics of Taoism. Organize the teachings of Taoism. This time it is not like before, a few people are working behind closed doors, but the world is gathering to ask questions. Under the same system, if there is a problem, it is to ask each other questions and debate the scriptures until the winning side is compiled, and it is compiled into the scriptures, which has become the fundamental doctrine of the world's Taoism.

The significance of this puja is quite heavy, almost not inferior to the six assemblies of Buddhist history. The entire theoretical system of Taoism was perfected, and under Wen Fei's suggestion, he decided to compile the "Open Heaven Bible". It is probably similar to the Daozang, but this Daozang is very different from the later generations.

When Ji Xiaolan compiled the "Siku Quanshu" in later generations, he said that the classics were trivial and the system was imperfect. However, the compilation of the "Open Heaven Bible" was compiled into a book under the guidance of a complete theoretical system.

Wen Fei intervened, so Zhao Ji would not have the opportunity to be the Daojun Emperor again in his life. Taoist leader. However, this person's enthusiasm for Taoism did not change at all, and he participated in the entire compilation almost the whole process.

If it weren't for the ministers urging Zhao Ji to return to Beijing many times, it would not be a way for the emperor to stay outside all the time! This guy almost didn't want to leave.

At the end of the Festival, the whole work of compiling the Open Heaven Bible was not completed. It was a rather complex project that lasted for thirteen years before it was finally completed. At this time, theoretically. Taoism is already a fairly complete religion. Of course, that's just for later!

It has rained heavily these days, and the water in the salt pond is full again, and the weather is fine at this time, just in time to open the furrow to dry the salt. The salt produced by the solution pool began to be sold all over the world.

Wenfei automatically asked. Take charge of the solution yourself. Zhao Ji only thought that Wen Fei was short of money, and wanted to manage the solution pool and draw some oil and water from it. smiled and responded, but he didn't know that Wen Fei had a lot of ways to make money, he just came to disgust Xixia.

The quality of the green and white salt produced in Xixia and other places is excellent, and the taste of this natural mineral salt is better than that of the table salt eaten in later generations.

It is sold to the Great Song Dynasty every year. It is the largest output of Western Xia. Since Taizong, the Great Song Dynasty has not succeeded in banning the green and white salt of the Western Xia, but has provoked the Western Xia to raise troops and use force several times.

This time, Wen Fei deliberately destroyed the Western Xia, as soon as he came to avenge himself, who let those Western Xia monks assassinate him several times. Second, it is purely unpleasant to look at Western Xia. In addition, he has always used the words of the emperor to tempt Zhao Ji and calm the world. Naturally, we have to find a way to come. Weaken the power of Western Xia.

The best way is to improve the quality of the salt and reduce the price. In this way, even if there is no need to ban salt, the green and white salt of Western Xia will not be easy to sell. This method is much more clever than his own exhaustion and exhaustion of transporting salt from modern times to this Northern Song Dynasty time and space.

Originally, the traditional old method of salt production was used, and it was used manually and by day. Every year at the beginning of spring, salt workers enter the pool. Repair the furrow and dig the ditch to dry salt, remove the nitrate mud, change the belly, and reorganize the furrow surface, and end it in August and September. After the salt drying is over. Fight the nest, beat the furrow, and renovate the furrow.

Jiechi is connected to the Fen River in the north and separated by Zhongtiao Mountain in the south, so the climate is warm and the temperature is also high. The climate wind direction is the most related to the salt, when there is a positive south wind and the east wind, the salt can be formed overnight, the salt flowers are crystallized, and the bright and clean is like a braided shell, just like the proverb that spreads in the solution pond "the south wind blows, and the other night becomes salt".

If there is light rain, the particles are more distinct, commonly known as rain salt; if the rain is more and the sun is insufficient, the evaporation is reduced, the salt color is blue and dark; if it encounters the northeast wind and the southwest wind, the salt flowers do not float, and the furrow is like a boiling gruel, the taste is bitter and evil, and it is inedible, so it can only be scraped outside the furrow, and wait for the wind direction to change and re-inject water to introduce seeds.

Wen Fei originally felt that this method was too stupid, and wanted to engage in the kind of salt drying method often mentioned in the novel. I just tried it myself, and I realized that most of the time-traveling novels are nonsense.

I remember that in a famous time-traveling novel, the pig's feet were reformed in Sichuan and turned into dried salt. In fact, I don't know that this salt has a lot to do with climatic conditions. The weather in that part of Sichuan is foggy and rainy, and the humidity is high, and wanting to dry salt is like a dream.

Wen Fei ran back to modern time and space to check the modern salt making method, and was dumbfounded. This modern pharmaceutical method requires a lot of machinery, vacuum tanks, boilers, etc. It's still quite a hassle to get it.

It is still much more convenient to make salt in this way, as long as there is wind.

The key is that this wind direction has a lot to do with the yield and quality of the salt pond. Therefore, Jiechi is not only dedicated to the god of the pool, but also to the god of salt wind. It is to ask the gods to bless and adjust the direction of the wind.

Now that Wen Fei is in charge, it is spring and summer, and this salt wind god is naturally quite hardworking, and the southeast wind blows every day, and the salt quality is excellent.

Wen Fei simply asked Zhao Ji to make an order to divide this pool god into two, find a few obedient ghosts and immortals from the Luoyang Yin Division, enter the master of the pool, and become the new pool god. The god of the east pool is the prince of Zibao, and the god of the west pool is the prince of Huikang.

He also named the god of salt and wind as the marquis of Baohou, and the god of Ganquan as Pujigong. He also set up the Guan Gong Temple, as well as the city god of the Yin Division of Jiezhou, these gods and goddesses near Jiezhou Jiechi are all under the jurisdiction of the Ghost Emperor Dazun.

That's not all, the transportation of salt in ancient times was also a big problem.

All are transported in sacks, transported to the three sales areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan by mule and horse carts, and the sacks are very large and often mixed with impurities. In addition, those porters along the way secretly sold, mixed with sand and soil, white salt turned into black salt, filth and unbearable to eat, must be washed with water before eating. There are also thefts along the way.
