Chapter 1099 The Instigator

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, the total population was calculated once, and at the same time, the general survey also calculated the number of monks. Zhao Ran had always focused on the total population, and had not paid attention to the number of monks in the 24th year of Jiajing, so he shook his head to show his ignorance.  .

    Chen Tianshi told him: "One hundred and thirty-five thousand, an increase of three thousand in six years, which is equivalent to the past one hundred years!"

    Immediately afterwards, Chen Tianshi extended three fingers: "The next time the number of monks will be compiled will be next year. It is still unknown how much the number of monks has increased. However, when the Zhenshitang resolution was made at the beginning of last year, the General Guanqifu Pavilion had already given a  Clear figures. In the three years from the 25th to the 28th year of Jiajing, they issued a total of 2,367 bone-setting pills, and successfully set the bones of people without roots reported by various palaces.  Two thousand one hundred and eight cases, which means that the growth rate is still accelerating. Qifuge predicts that the number of monks in the next six years is likely to reach 5,000! Zhiran, maybe in one hundred and twenty years  In the future, the number of monks will double, even reaching 300,000!¡±

    Zhao Ran fell into deep thought. The annual faith value of 1.3 billion Gui corresponds to 130,000 monks. There is already a problem. So what will happen in the future when the faith value of 2 billion Gui corresponds to 300,000 monks?  I dare not think deeply!  One hundred and twenty years later, can the trust value increase to 3 billion?  Zhao Ran thinks it may be difficult

    "If exploding the population increases credibility" He shook his head. Exposing the population means increasing the number of monks by the same proportion. This is not a solution.

    Chen Tianshi added: "At this rate, how many Hedao monks will our Taoist disciples have in one hundred and twenty years? This is certainly good and powerful, but if you and I are lucky enough to live until that time, we will have to face  A stark question, who ascends? Who awaits death?"

    Li Dayin also heard the news for the first time. He and Zhao Ran looked at each other and couldn't help but add: "Don't talk about ascension, even the conferment is not enough."

    Chen Tianshi said: "No matter what, the emergence of the "Bone Setting Sutra" is a great merit that benefits the entire Taoist sect. It has given countless people who originally had no hope the hope of pursuing the Tao. It is absolutely impossible for us to abolish it, so we can only  Accept that fact and figure out how to fix it.¡±

    ??Chen Tianshi is an insider who knows the source of the Bone Setting Sutra. These words are both true and comforting Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ran's mouth became astringent and he was speechless for a while. Only today did he understand why the Zhenshitang meeting at the beginning of last year had such a result. It turned out that he was one of the initiators of this result. He was from Xixia  He brought back the exercises, and at the same time he also made a suggestion for monks to enter the jungle of ten directions, which ensured the implementation of the current major changes.

    He struggled to make a suggestion that even he could not convince: "Can you minimize the distribution of bone-setting pills? For example, set athreshold"

    Chen Tianshi said: "Last year, Zhenshi Hall also rejected a proposal. Jiuzhou Pavilion proposed that the number of bone-setting pills distributed every year should be controlled within 500 pills. This proposal was rejected during the vote because it was difficult to implement.  . When your relatives and friends really have the opportunity to practice cultivation, can you have the heart to refuse and thus end their hopes? To be honest, I couldn't shirk it last year and asked for bone setting for three people successfully I really couldn't refuse, among them  One is Dayin¡¯s nephew.¡±

    Zhao Ran thought about it for a while and had to admit that if it were the Zongsheng Hall, it might not be a matter of rejection, but a matter of rushing to whoever stopped him.  More people than Chen Shandao have successfully embarked on spiritual practice with the bone-setting pills in his hands.

    Chen Tianshi added: "Now that I have mentioned this, I can also tell Zhiran that we passed another resolution at the True Master Hall that day."

    Zhao Ran raised his head and waited for the announcement of this decision. He had already had a premonition.

    Chen Tianshi said slowly: "This is an alternative plan. If this change does not have an effect, after ten years, the overall plan will begin to slowly prepare, starting with Qifu Pavilion, Baojing Pavilion,  Then there is the Sanqing Pavilion, the Dongji Pavilion, and finally the Leixiao Pavilion When our Ming Dynasty can no longer accommodate these many monks, the Taoist sect will go to war with the Buddhist sect Zhiran, if we use ten  If we can't find a solution within a few years, we will prepare for war, a war of unprecedented scale."

    This is a very heavy topic. Zhao Ran did not dare to answer it, and he had no way to answer it.

    Finally, Chen Tianshi said: "So, the problem is here, and we need to find a way to solve it together. Since there is no better way at the moment, why not try my teacher's method?"

    Zhao Ran said: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. I can try it in Yingtian, but I can't guarantee that it will be able to reverse the decline in credibility. After all, when the general government is returned to the emperor, our Taoist sect will have a greater influence on the people.  In addition, the people's livelihood problems in Southern Zhili are not outstanding. The starting point of people's living standards is very high. It is more difficult to further improve This is completely different from that in Songfan.I hope Chen Tianshi understands.  "

    Chen Tianshi nodded: "Of course I understand, and I can also tell you clearly that if it cannot be improved, as long as the current situation can be maintained, I can also agree. What I am most worried about is actually that my credibility will not increase but decrease in the next few years. Sincerely.  I am very relieved that you can agree to it. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

    Zhao Ran pondered: "The essence of credibility is actually the people's support. The means to win the people's support are nothing more than positive and negative. The positive one should preach more and do more things to improve people's livelihood; the negative one should attack things that will lose the people's support. I  I hope Sanmaoguan will give me more tolerance in this regard. Since the required goal is credibility, we will see the results at the end of the year."

    Chen Tianshi thought for a moment and agreed: "Zhiran's request is very reasonable, I agree, but please also note that Zhiran should not take the initiative to interfere in the general affairs of Yingtian government and county governments, especially in taxation and employment.  Go and make a cross." He also warned: "Zhiran, there is Da Yin, you should know that what I said today is top secret and must not be revealed."

    The two of them nodded in unison: "I understand."

    The conversation ended here, and when Zhao Ran said goodbye to Chen Tianshi, Chen Tianshi invited Zhao Ran: "Look at Zhiran's complexion and behavior. It seems that he has already developed spiritual awareness? The Zongsheng Hall is too far away. If Zhiran doesn't mind, follow me the day after tomorrow.  When you go to Qixia Mountain, you can receive the burial ceremony at my San Mao Pavilion. Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have many monks in San Mao Pavilion, and the annual quota of faith cannot be used up, all of which are given to the Shang San Palace, haha."

    The conferment of the Archmage realm requires 720,000 Gui and a batch of spiritual materials. This was an appetizer given to Zhao Ran by Tianshi Chen, and Zhao Ran was disrespectful.  After leaving Yuanfu Palace, Li Dayin sent him down the mountain. After returning, the crowds of people waiting for business outside the palace gate began to enter one after another.

    Chen Tianshi remained silent for a long time in the Zichen Hall, then stood up and came out, saying to Li Dayin: "As master, I am returning to Qixia. You will accompany Zhao Zhiran here the day after tomorrow."

    Li Dayin said: "Teacher, are you preparing for Zhao Zhiran's return? The disciple has already flown the talisman to Junior Brother Peng and asked him to make preparations."

    Tianshi Chen didn¡¯t say much and went straight to Qixia.  After going to Sanmao Palace and coming to the plum garden, I saw Shao Yuanjie sitting under the plum tree with his eyes closed and meditating. He didn't dare to disturb him and served him carefully.

    After a long time, Shao Yuanjie just opened his eyes: "The numbering of plum blossoms is really difficult, easy to learn but difficult to master. It's always just a little bit behind, but the slightest difference can make a difference a thousand miles away. Zhang Tieguan and Long Yangzi are really gods, and I can't match them."

    Chen Tianshi smiled: "You have expertise in martial arts, but your Tao is not comparable to the two of them."

    Sa Yuan Jie asked: "Why did you come back to the mountain?"

    Chen Tianshi reported: "I came to report to the teacher about the matter of being the abbot of Xuantan Palace." At that moment, he prepared to make Zhao Ran the abbot of Xuantan Palace, as well as consecrating him to the Sanmao Pavilion, etc., and then said: "  This Zhao Zhiran is the abbot of Songfan Tianhe Palace and is very good at preaching. Whether in Long'an Mansion or Songfan, wherever he handles, his credibility has been greatly improved. Song Yangshi of Jiuzhou Pavilion is full of praise for him"

    Shao Yuanjie said: "I know the little guy who followed Zhang Quanyi to Hengduan Mountain."

    Chen Tianshi said: "It is this person. I am worried that Zhili's credibility will not keep up and will hinder us, so I want to use him."

    Shao Yuanjie said: "It's up to you."
