Chapter 67 Implementation of Educational Reform Diocese of Shandong

After touching a pillar of incense, Qiu Chuji finally finished reading Yin Zhiping's manuscript, covered his head and said to Yin Zhiping: "The suggestions you made are very good, according to the teacher, it should be feasible." However, I still have to consult with a few of your uncles and uncles to see what their opinions are?"

"That's as it should be. But if Master says it's feasible, then it's definitely feasible. Yin Zhiping slapped Qiu Chuji with a small ass.

Qiu Chuji raised his hand and patted the manuscript lightly, and said, "Just put this thing here with me, and I will convene a few of your uncles and uncles today to discuss this matter." ”

"Thank you, Master!" Seeing Qiu's attention, Yin Zhi thanked him in parallel.

Qiu Chuji said: "This is also right, these suggestions of yours are beneficial to the inheritance of this sect, and I should adopt them." However, the implementation still has to be done step by step, and we can't be too hasty. ”

Yin Zhiping said: "What the master said is very true. ”

After the two gossiped a few more words, Yin Zhiping said goodbye and left.

Qiu Chuji really spoke and acted resolutely. Not long after Yin Zhiping left, he sent the little Taoist boy around him to invite Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer to the apse to discuss matters.

After the evening class that day, Qiu Chuji stopped Yin Zhiping and Bai Yuchan to discuss together. After several days of discussion, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qiu Chuji finally decided to formally implement the two proposals put forward by Yin Zhiping. However, in view of the difficulty of implementing it in practice, it was decided after discussion that the first point should be implemented first, and the formal division of the diocese in the second item should be done slowly, and it is best to select a diocese for trial implementation, and then promote it after success.

The first is only a change in personnel. The current structure and organization of the Quanzhen religion have not changed much. For example, Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer, although they have not been named as elders. But in fact, there are already elders. The status is respected, and each has its own responsibilities. He is now an elder. It's a matter of course, and it's well deserved.

However, these personnel changes, the title of the seal is easy to say, only Liu Chuxuan, the palm seal elder, has no seal to palm for a while. In the past, the positions in the Quanzhen Sect were a little chaotic, and there was no seal corresponding to the position, that is, the head of the teaching, approvals, appointments, etc., were also used with their own private seals. These many positions are now formalized. If you want to engrave a seal, you can't do it for a while. There is also the appointment of deacons, which is the largest number of grassroots managers, and not all of them can be appointed in a day or two.

Yin Zhiping originally planned to go on the road with Bai Yuchan after the Shangyuan Festival. But now, because of the suggestion he made, he had to stay for a few more days to help Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and others complete the first task. During the few days of staying longer, Liu Chuxuan ordered people to give priority to carving the seals of the two first seats, he and Bai Yuchan, so that they could take them with them when they went down the mountain.

It was not until the twentieth day of the first lunar month that Yin Zhiping finally set off on the mountain with Bai Yuchan. And he who went with them on the road. There is also another disciple of the three generations of the Quanzhen Sect, named Sun Zhihe. This person is a disciple of Ma Yu, and this time he went on the road with them to Shandong. Served as Archdeacon of the Diocese of Shandong. Qiu Chuji and others have decided to make Shandong the first trial site of the official diocese.

Shandong is one of the dioceses of the Quanzhen Sect, except for Shaanxi, where the Zongguan is located. The parish with the most powerful power and the largest number of disciples. Moreover, Shandong was originally the starting place of the Quanzhen Sect, and it was also the hometown of the seven sons of Quanzhen. The foundation is the strongest, and it also has the most faith base. So. The establishment and trial implementation of this first official diocese was also chosen in Shandong.

In fact, if it is convenient, it is most convenient to take the diocese of Shaanxi where Zongguan Chongyang Palace is located. Because it's the closest, it's also the easiest to control. But because of the existence of Chongyang Palace, the whole of Shaanxi is actually very similar to the existence of the official diocese proposed by Yin Zhiping. Chongyang Palace is on the ground, and the affairs of the Shaanxi Diocese are naturally gathered in the Chongyang Palace to deal with the general decision, and because of the proximity, the Chongyang Palace's control over the Taoist temples of the Shaanxi Branches is not high, which makes the Chongyang Palace actually equivalent to sitting in the position of the official archdeacon of the diocese.

And because the Diocese of Shaanxi is very similar to the official diocese proposed by Yin Zhiping, there is not much experience in the trial trial in the Diocese of Shaanxi. Because it's already a similar model, all that's left to do is formalize it. But now this first trial diocese is to start from scratch, accumulate successful experience, and at the same time be able to discover various problems during the trial period. Only in this way can we learn lessons, sum up experience, and better implement them.

Yin Zhiping and Bai Yuchan also had to go to Shandong with Sun Zhihe this time, because they also had to send a group of Quanzhen disciples from the Shandong diocese to the south. In addition to Yin Zhiping's own needs for this batch of Quanzhen disciples, Bai Yu Toad's side is also a little short of manpower with the development and expansion, so he has to give half of this batch of disciples to Bai Yu Toad.

In addition, the two of them accompanied Sun Zhihe to Shandong together, also to help Sun Zhihe do the preliminary work for the formal establishment of the Shandong diocese. Sun Zhihe went to the diocese of Shandong to take up his post, and he didn't bring many helpers, only two disciples who accompanied him.

Originally, Yin Zhiping proposed that each diocese should send an archdeacon and two or three deputies. However, the result of the discussion between Qiu Chuji and the others was that Chongyang Palace only sent the archdeacon of the diocese, and the deputy positions below were selected from among the Quanzhen disciples of the local diocese. In this way, there are local personnel as deputies to help, and it is more comfortable to carry out work. Yin Zhiping has no objection to this, and feels that he is indeed inappropriate in this regard.

Shandong is not too far from Zhongnan Mountain, Yin Zhiping, Bai Yuchan, Sun Zhihe and others worked hard all the way, and finally arrived in Shandong before the first month. However, after arriving in Shandong, Yin Zhiping and Bai Yuchan first helped Sun Zhihe to carry out the preliminary work of establishing a formal diocese, and then selected Quanzhen disciples who went south to preach with them, but they were busy until the end of February, so they bid farewell to Sun Zhihe and led this group of Quanzhen disciples to the south by boat.

At this time in the Southern Song Dynasty, the sea navigation had a certain scale, especially the danger of offshore shipping was not great. Shandong, Zhejiang, and Fujian are all connected to the sea. So this time, they went southeast from the mountain, and they sailed directly across the sea. The wind direction was quite smooth, and within a few days, the two ships had reached the mouth of the Qiantang River.

Yin Zhiping and Bai Yuchan said goodbye here, Yin Zhiping turned into the Qiantang River waterway to Lin'an, Bai Yuchan continued to walk a sea route, landed on the shore after reaching Fujian, and went to Wuyi. (To be continued......)
