"The young monk only likes to hold peaches, but doesn't like to divide them" Xue Lang blushed and argued.
"That's not the point!" Zhao Hao patted his bright head as if patting a big watermelon. "The point is, are you just going to sit back and wait for death, not taking advantage of this great opportunity to get to know them, learn how to fight with them, and try to keep the enemy outside the country?!"
¡°Defend the enemy outside the country¡¯s gates?¡± Xue Lang repeated softly.
"Yes, it is better for a war to take place on other people's territory than in your own home." Zhao Hao nodded and said confusely: "Tamluo Island is just your novice village. After you have accumulated enough fighting experience, you will go to a broader world. Battlefield. Go to Southeast Asia and the West, preach without restraint, drive the Chechidan Sect out of our Ming Dynasty, and protect our Chinese subjects from the poison of monotheistic religions! Isn¡¯t this merit greater than your building ninety-nine temples? "
"This" Xuelang couldn't help but be fascinated. This damn romantic feeling made his heart beat wildly, as if he had suddenly found the direction of his life.
"You don't have to worry about safety issues. The Chechidan Sect is escorted by the army, and you are also protected by the Coast Guard. Let us fight side by side to drive the Monotheistic Sect and their followers back to the west!" Zhao Hao stared at Xuelang with bright eyes, wanting to Let him feel his strong will.
"Okay" Xue Lang couldn't resist his blazing eyes after all, and nodded slightly.
"Haha, great!" Zhao Hao happily let go of him, sat back on his futon and said, "Fat Tang will be very happy that you are going. He will take care of everything. You don't have to worry about other things. You just have to focus on preaching. , just let no one spread the Chechidan religion!"
"Donor Zhao doesn't have to worry about preaching. The white lotus, Maitreya, Luo, and other evil sects have only learned a little bit about my Buddhism, which is enough to confuse thousands of people. My Buddhism is too strictly controlled by the imperial court. Show it, otherwise if you give me three thousand novice monks, I can make all the Tatars eat fast and chant Buddha's name, and the world will be full of bald heads!" Unexpectedly, Xuelang said with full confidence.
He is really not bragging. Buddhism is indeed very strong in preaching. They preach that the soul is immortal after death, and they accumulate merits and reincarnation, so that the people at the bottom can accept the hardships and survive this life honestly until the next round. This can not only alleviate the suffering of ordinary people in this world, but also reduce the cost of ruling by rulers, so it will soon open up in China.
Moreover, Buddhism from Tianzhu, the religious holy land, also has a good religious organizational structure and skilled communication technology It can use the monastic group model to open up new missionary areas and promote the merits of attracting people to join the religion. This method is similar to pyramid schemes. Encourage the converted believers to spread the gospel everywhere, and it will quickly spread virally.
"Don't, just let them eat fast and chant Buddha's name. Don't really become monks." Zhao Hao quickly reminded him.
"The young monk is just making an analogy." Xuelang said with a faint smile: "Actually, to be honest, the Thirty-Six Postures are not as supportive as those in power. So the only concern is that the Li Dynasty followed the example of the Ming Dynasty and respected Confucianism and destroyed Buddhism for many years. I am afraid that if I don¡¯t say it on the surface, I will cause trouble secretly.¡±
"You don't have to worry about this. At least on Tamluo Island, the civil and military officials of the Li Dynasty will not interfere with you. Besides, Fatty Tang is there for everything." Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "As the mayor of Xingang, he said that Emperor Tamluo is not exaggerating."
"If the Tang Donor is as true to his word as you said, as long as he converts to the Three Treasures first, then preaching will be easy." Xuelang climbed up the pole.
"Go and convert to him yourself. I won't interfere." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "But to tell you the truth, besides you, there are also a group of Taoist priests, a group of rotten Confucians, oh no staunch Confucian fanatics will also follow You go to Tamluo together. I will still build Taoist temples and schools for them, and I will not take sides. So who can win the support of Mayor Tang depends on who can help him the most."
"What?" Xue Lang said in surprise: "Donor Zhao, do you want to raise Gu? Why are you going to all three families?"
"Brothers are jealous of each other, but outsiders are bullying." Mr. Zhao smiled and said half-seriously, "If the three heroes still can't defeat Lu Bu, then don't come back and apologize collectively."
" Letting Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism go overseas to preach together to resist the erosion of monotheistic religions in the world is the result of repeated discussions between Zhao Gongzi, Xu Wei and others.
The three religions each have their own strengths and weaknesses and complement each other, forming the religious system of Chinese civilization. Buddhism is suitable for spreading virally among the lower classes and is not as attractive to the upper classes as Taoism. The immortality and dual cultivation promoted by Taoism are fatally attractive to the ruling class, especially the royal family, but they are not enough for the lower classes.
As for Confucianism, especially Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, it has occupied an orthodox position in the entire Chinese civilization circle and is crucial to maintaining the ruling order of the great world.
But 'The Master does not speak of strange powers and confuses the gods', it?A doctrine of this world that only regulates the real world without elaborating on the afterlife and the supernatural world. So rather than saying it is a religion, it is better to say it is the universal value of the Chinese civilization circle. Guide the words and deeds of the people in the world.
Why can monks and Taoist priests attend Chinese funerals together? It is because Confucianism, which regulates social behavior, adopts an open attitude towards religion. It is the tolerance of this belief that led to the tolerance of gods in Chinese civilization and is the basis for the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Therefore, Confucianism or Confucianism does not conflict with any religion, including monotheistic religions, which is very awesome. Therefore, Mr. Zhao is more willing to promote it as a value.
¡°No one in the world understands the power and importance of ¡®universal values¡¯ better than Mr. Zhao. No matter how much money or effort he spends, he will make people in the Chinese civilization circle speak Chinese and respect Confucianism. This will greatly reduce the toxicity of religion, reduce the difficulty of maintaining the Chinese civilization circle, improve the cohesion of the world, and resist the strong erosion of foreign civilization and religion
Therefore, the cooperation between the three religions is impeccable. Taoism is responsible for hooking up with the upper class, Buddhism is responsible for selling the lower class, and Confucianism is responsible for educating the middle class and strengthening the official ideology. The three-legged cooperation achieved Mr. Zhao's overall goal of resisting the monotheistic religion and strengthening the Chinese civilization circle.
??~~
??????????????? But is the ¡®three religions going to sea¡¯ a wishful thinking on his part, or can he really fight against the monotheistic religion? Of course, the scientific Mr. Zhao cannot draw arbitrary conclusions. It is necessary to use scientific methods to conduct experiments, sum up experience and lessons, and continuously improve methods, so that the three religions that have become hothouse flowers can regain their wild nature.
Tamna Island is the best testing ground. There, there are people from the Ming Dynasty, people from the Li Dynasty, Japanese, Ryukyus, and even Europeans and South Asian natives. You can observe the acceptance of the three religions by people with different cultural backgrounds; the acceptance of the Chichidan Religion; People¡¯s tendencies when the three religions coexist with the Chechidan sect; the degree of rejection between the three sects and the Chechidan sect, etc
¡°And Tamluo Island is isolated overseas. No matter what the outcome is, it will have no impact on the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Any adverse consequences that occur are within Zhao Hao's control.
Mr. Zhao patiently explained to Xuelang that the mission to Tamluo Island was just a mission to the Novice Village, and that it was mainly about observation and testing. Then he reluctantly accepted that he was not the only outcome in Mr. Zhao's heart.
"Although the three religions are promoted at the same time, there must be one leader." Zhao Hao put a high hat on Xuelang calmly and said: "Both Confucianism and Taoism are a bit weak in uniting the masses, and you are highly respected, so this Xingang City The director of religion must be you."
"Director of Religion?" Xue Lang asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, all religious sects that want to preach in Xingang must apply to the Religious Affairs Bureau, and only after obtaining a license can they preach under the supervision of the Religious Affairs Bureau." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "I want you to be both an athlete and a referee. Are you good enough?"
Xue Lang now understood. Governments at all levels in the Ming Dynasty had Seng Lu Division and Dao Lu Division, which managed Buddhism and Taoism respectively. All sects outside the two religions were illegal. The Religious Affairs Bureau not only combines the functions of the two departments, but also puts all religions into one basket and manages them. Doesn¡¯t that make it the overlord of all religions?
"Can Confucianism also be controlled?" Xuelang asked with some uncertainty. After all, Confucianism has been oppressing Buddhism for two hundred years
"It can be managed, but Confucianism is not within the scope of the Religious Affairs Bureau and is under the jurisdiction of the Culture and Education Bureau." Zhao Hao gave him another official hat and said: "If you are also the director of the Cultural Bureau, not even Confucianism will be under your control."
"That's it" Xuelang thinks this is reasonable. After all, Confucianism, as the official ideology, is very different from religion. If it is placed under the jurisdiction of the Religious Affairs Bureau, it is suspected of being deliberately dwarfed, and it is estimated that Mr. Dong Heng will resist to the death.
"But if a monk is allowed to take care of Confucian affairs, Mr. Zhao is really messy. It can also be seen from this that Tamna Island Xingang City is indeed a place where you can do whatever you want.
Thinking about it this way, Xuelang was really a little excited.
I thought that Mr. Zhao was really good at reading people. He must have noticed that the young monk was a restless monk.
??Can even a blind man see that?
He suppressed his inner excitement and asked: "Last question, which bureau is in charge of Donor Zhao's science?"
"Oh, science, we are just newborn babies, pitiful, weak and helpless." Mr. Zhao said with great self-knowledge: "I don't dare to fight hand-to-hand with you thousand-year-old monsters. I am satisfied with opening a few academies in the country. "
¡°Sooner or later science will go abroad, why not accumulate experience first?¡± Xuelang sincerely invited.
"No, we are different. The later science is disseminated, the better. It is best never to go abroad." Mr. Zhao did not hesitate to say: "The Religious Affairs Bureau and the Culture and Education Bureau must also be more vigilant, review teaching materials, and prevent scientific knowledge." and technology flowing out of you.¡±
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "We must be especially careful against the Chechidan sect and the red-haired ghost!"
"I understand." Xuelang suddenly realized that science needs to be kept secret. No wonder Mr. Zhao has never cared much about promoting science, and only focuses on the upper-level route, because he is worried that it will spread overseas (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?. Mr. Zhao, however, did not hesitate to say: "The Religious Affairs Bureau and the Culture and Education Bureau must also be more vigilant and review teaching materials to prevent scientific knowledge and technology from flowing out of you."
