    After a long day of playing, tired pilgrims can go to the Zen room to rest, where they will be served with good tea, sumptuous vegetarian meals, and special Buddhist wine (wine made from fruits, with very low alcohol content and not easy to drink)  intoxicating!)

    ?????????????????????????????????¡­

    When we went up the mountain just now, the pilgrims took the main road and entered Tianyin Temple through the gate, while the farmers took a detour and entered through the small door at the back. If the former is heaven, the latter is haha!

    "Today is the day to pay the rent. Whoever dares to be short of money and pass off a good one will be blamed by the Buddha, and his soul will fall into the Abi Hell forever, and suffer the torture of climbing a mountain of knives and going into a frying pan!"

    "Those from Lijia Village come first. The eggs are smaller than the other, the pork is much leaner and less fat, and the red dates are actually infested with worms. Are you here to deceive the Buddha?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Farmers lined up in a long line at the back door of Tianyin Temple, carrying bamboo baskets full of grain, wild fruits, chickens, ducks, eggs, and fresh meat all of which were saved frugally and handed over to the temple.  worship!

    Several fat monks sit at the door and are responsible for checking the rent. They are no different from ordinary landlords in collecting rent. They are all picky and picky, and sometimes threaten to go to hell!

    A basket of good-quality red dates, the monks drooled after eating it, but they insisted that they were infected with insects, so they could only be counted as half a basket; there was also a copper bucket for harvesting grain, with a large mouth, a round belly, a deep bottom, and an inner wall.  It was also carved with grooves, saying that it had a standard capacity of one bucket, but without a bucket of three or four grains, there was no way it could be filled!

    According to the rules, farmers rented temple crops and paid eight dou of grain per mu of land (the average yield per mu in the Han Dynasty was more than two stones and three dou, about 280 kilograms), which accounted for more than one-third of the harvest!

    But the temples actually collected more than two-fifths. Some temples that lacked great virtue even received one-half, which was almost the same as the national land tax. They had to be responsible for the seeds and farm tools themselves!

    (Cao Ying implemented the farming system. When farmers cultivate the land, if they use their own cattle, they will hand over half of the harvest. If they use public cattle, they will hand over six-tenths. All seeds and farm tools will be provided by the government!)

    ¡°Last year there was drought and locust plague again, and the harvest in the fields was really not good. I still managed to save these through my teeth!¡±

    "Please be merciful to the masters. There will be a good harvest this autumn. I will definitely honor the temple and the masters!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. The farmers say good things while secretly stuffing things in, either a bunch of copper coins, a fat hen, and again a few eggs!

    The monks got over it in a daze after collecting the benefits. Anyway, what they collected was enough to pay the rent of the temple, and the remaining few people shared it privately. This is called enrichment at the expense of the public!

    In the Ziyun Mountain area, Tianyin Temple has a relatively good reputation, but it just keeps some expenses. Other temples robbed men, bullied men and women, and even forced people to die many times. Because it was a Buddhist sect, the government was not good.  Intervene!

    Then again, it is true that the temple is overbearing, deceitful and oppressive, but the people still swallow their anger and have no intention of resisting:

    For one thing, the imperial court needed a lot of money and food to fight for years. The land tax and poll tax were levied far beyond the regulations, and they were even levied several years in advance. In comparison, the rent of the temple was still slightly lower.  !

    Secondly, farmers who cultivate land for temples do not have to perform labor or military service, so they do not have to go to the battlefield. Although life is a little harder, it is better than dying on the battlefield, right?

    ¡°Amitabha¡ªAmitabha!¡±

    "The masters have chosen their disciples, boys, come to the front and cheer up!"

    "From now on, it all depends on your luck whether you will eat bran vegetables or meat and drink oil. Your mouth must be sweet!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Several old monks wearing cassocks and holding staffs walked out. They were constantly looking at the crowd, specifically looking for children under ten years old. They were looking for young monks!

    If a temple wants to grow, in addition to recruiting believers and amassing money, the number of monks is also an important factor. After all, there is strength in numbers. However, it is not easy to be a monk. Especially if you want to become a high monk, you must have three things:

    First of all, you should have a face like the bright moon and a slender figure, that is, you should be good-looking in small appearance, because the monk is a disciple of the Buddha. If you have a green face and fangs, you may not be able to get even a morsel of food, let alone performing rituals for others.

    Secondly, it must be full of energy and sound like a bell. A monk must preach scriptures and must have a good voice.??, and Sanskrit is difficult to understand, and most of the pilgrims cannot understand it, just listen to the monks singing!

    Finally, if you want to be smart, well-read and literate, you must make friends with powerful people. If you don¡¯t have some scheming and eyesight, what can you do? Calligraphy is one of the compulsory courses!

    "Masters are merciful - Masters are merciful!"

    "The disciples are willing to become a monk, willing to take refuge in my Buddha, and willing to serve all the masters!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The children of the peasant family knelt down and kowtowed one after another. Some showed their hospitality, some beat their chests to show that they were in good health, and some wrote on the ground to show their literary talent!

    "It's a pity that life in the farm family is hard. Most of the children are sallow and thin, and some even show signs of illness. A few of them are "literary" and can only write names. They are uglier than a dog crawling!

    The old monks went around and only picked one who was smart and ready to be ordained to be a novice monk. Three more strong ones were selected and kept as laboring monks in the temple. The rest were all rejected!

    Those who were selected were very happy and followed the old monk into the temple, and they would have an iron rice bowl from now on; those who were not selected were dejected, and some even burst into tears. They could only die like their parents, with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky.  On the field!

    ¡°A handsome man from the Han family doesn¡¯t want to read poetry, practice martial arts, and gain fame and wealth in his life. Instead, he only wants to be a monk. I¡¯m really pissed off!

    Within a hundred years, there will be temples and monks everywhere. The Han people, who were originally good at fighting, have become sheep who eat fast and chant Buddha. Once the foreign cavalry invades, who will defend the country?  "

    In the small corner of the back door, Xiao Yi witnessed the whole process, saw the dark side of Buddhism, and became more determined to destroy Buddhism. It is said that Confucian benevolence and morality have castrated the martial spirit of the Chinese nation. If Buddhism grows stronger, it will do more harm than good.  And nothing less!

    The Buddhist scriptures are originally good, but unfortunately they are misread by the monks, such as hypocrisy, vanity, greed, and malice In view of the character flaws of the monks, Xiao Yi has a plan in his mind, one that is more powerful than Wuzhishan, so that Buddhism will never be forgotten.  Turnaround plan!

    Although the plan was in place, it was unfortunately not perfect. To be precise, there was one person missing, a resourceful, ruthless person with a face thicker than the city wall and resentment towards Buddhism, that is, the executor of the ¡®Destroy the Buddha¡¯!

    In any case, Buddhism has a gorgeous coat. If you take off this coat, it will inevitably attract countless resentments, and even be infamy through the ages. People with evil views, evildoers, and demon kings of the sixth heaven these titles will always be recorded in the annals of history.  ah!

    Cao Cao knew how harmful Buddhism was to the country. The reason why he hesitated to take action was most likely because he was afraid of being infamy and affecting his plan to "Cao Wei and Han Dynasty". Xiao Yi also cherished feathers, but who was the scapegoat?  Come and carry it, but who can carry it?

    Jia Xu¡¯s wisdom and ruthlessness are enough, but unfortunately he is too low-key and likes to hide behind the scenes and come up with bad ideas. If he is asked to stand up and take charge of the overall situation, the old guy will not do it even to death!

    Guo Yi is also qualified for this job, but Xiao Yi has carefully trained him for many years to be the future prime minister. If he is used in the "dirty work" of destroying Buddha, he is really overqualified and overkill, and he would not be willing to kill him!

    Jia Chong is full of potential, but unfortunately he is still too young to shoulder this heavy responsibility. If he had waited until he grew up, Buddhism would have blossomed and bear fruit long ago, and the situation would be catastrophic!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Some are good at charging into battle, some can make plans, and can do the "dirty work" flawlessly, but there is no one

    Just as Xiao Yi was thinking hard and looking for a suitable candidate, another group of monks rushed out of the temple, but they were not wearing monk's robes, but coarse cloth clothes for working. Some had bald heads and some wore bamboo hats, carrying food and vegetables to the temple.  , meat and eggs

    Buddhism advocates that all four elements are empty and all living beings are equal. However, monks have a strict hierarchy, which is divided into abbot, chief, supervisor, supervisor, deputy temple, and guest There are more than 20 levels in total, which belong to different jobs, and the lowest level is labor.  monk!

    Labor monk is a general term, which is divided into rice head, vegetable head, fire head, water head, clock head, drum head, door head, Yuantou (responsible for the vegetable garden), Yutou (responsible for bathing, and Jingtou (responsible for toilet, this job is unlucky))  , Tatou (guarding tombs), Shutou (inspecting mountains and forests, planting trees), firewood, grinding heads, tea heads

    "These workers are working monks, or the lowest-level monks. They don't even have specific jobs. They can only do some physical labor. They don't even have a monk's robe. They are more like hard labor than monks!

    ¡°Papa¡­has hair?

    Xiao Yi was about to turn around and leave, but another accident happened. A monk was too thin and struggled to carry a large bag of corn. As a result, he lost his footing and fell heavily. The bamboo hat on his head fell off, revealing his black hair  ¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Website: www.hlnovel.com
