Ancient view, quiet room, five people, drinking tea.
Tea is the dissimilated ice leaves of Kunlun Mountains. It is cool and sweet, and it is very refreshing. Gu Yu held the cup, took a sip, and said suddenly: "I heard that Daoist Mo has taken a post in Beijing?"
"That's right, brother is the president of the Taoist Association, and cooperates with the government to manage temple affairs across the country." Lu Yuanqing said.
"It is said that the new official takes office three fires, what will Mo Daochang do?"
"There are some measures, which are being discussed with relevant people and have not yet been finalized."
Lu Yuanqing seemed to like this kind of ice leaves very much, and quickly drank a cup of tea, saying: "Before Xia Guo had 2,500 Taoist temples, and there were about 50,000 people in Qian and Kun Dao. The Taoist gates were cleaned up, 1,100 Taoist temples were banned, and 30,000 people were removed. , now there are more than 20,000. Brother Mo’s first thought was to re-establish the temple.”
"Oh? What heavy law?" Xiao Zhai asked.
"Back then, the government invited the suzerains of various sects to compile a "General Book of Zhuzhen Sects" in the Baiyun Temple of the capital, which included sixty-two sects. Now that a hundred years have passed, some have broken their inheritance, and some have emerged, so Brother Mo plans to Revise the general book. For example, Li Suchun's sect belongs to the independent branch of Xiamao Mountain. If he accepts the association's certification, he is qualified to establish a sect and pass on the orthodoxy."
Hiss!
What he said was calm and breezy, but what Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai heard was turbulent.
Since Zhang Daoling established the Five Dou Rice Sect in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been more than thousands of sects and branches? Only after the Song Dynasty, when Quanzhen and Zhengyi led the north and the south, did most sects be grouped together.
But now, with the continuous excavation of various exercises by the people, the names that have been annihilated in history are also surfacing. Just like Bai Xinwen's "Gen Back Heart Method", it is said to be a sect, but if he voluntarily surrenders and changes his face to become a Taoist school, it is not impossible.
Those who accept the certification are tantamount to getting closer to the association and the government and obtaining legal qualifications. Those who don't accept it will be directly classified as an illegal organization, and those who kill or bury are all famous teachers.
The foundation of the government is still there, the Taoist monastery clearly supports it, and there is no change in Phoenix Mountain. The two big mountains have their own duties, which is very helpful for the government to win over non-governmental forces.
"Once you are certified, you can put forward your own wishes, and then the association will study and allocate cities and land. In addition, each temple has an upper limit for the number of people. If it exceeds the standard, you can apply to set up a separate temple elsewhere."
"You make it clear that the expansion of chariots and horses will be approved by the authorities?" Gu Yu asked.
"The government will not disagree. We only practice Taoism to help the people. Disasters in the city, animal swarms outside the city, evil spirits possessing people, evil spirits, and even serious injuries and illnesses of the people, we can also help with first aid..."
"These things can be done by the talents trained by the government, why use you?" Xiaozhai said.
"The laity knows it well, so there is no need to joke. They have strong capital and a huge base, and they will be ahead of the front in everything they do. But Taoism is nothing else. If Taoism can be institutionalized and mass-produced, dare to ask you Dao, or official?"
Lu Yuanqing no longer pretended to be confused, just like he did when he fooled Gu Yu in Tianzhu Mountain, and continued: "Our first batch of disciples recruited more than 500 people, leaving 108. Now we are recruiting the second batch of students who are initially qualified. There are already 1,200 participants. Those who were eliminated before will either be recruited by the Special Bureau, or they will remain in the temple. These people have a solid foundation and good character, and they will become pillars in the future, scattered all over the country."
He took out another scroll and waved it casually. The scroll spread out to meet the wind, and finally spread out into a huge map of Xia Kingdom.
"Four provinces outside the pass: Heishui has five midtowns with a population of 10 million. Ula province has one big city and seven midtowns with a population of 20 million. Chihe has five midtowns with a population of 10 million. These three places The grain-producing areas of the country have been lost, but in exchange for a large area of mountains, forests and snowfields, rare treasures of ice-cold nature, no one will really give up. The area of Xiaoxiang has shrunk and the population has greatly decreased, but in exchange for a piece of Yunmeng Ozawa. Ji The construction of urban agglomerations in the north, northwest, central plains, and southeast has come to an end, and the population is highly concentrated... There are also seventeen large and small restricted areas such as Huozhou and Nanjiang..."
He was simple and clear, summarizing Xia Guo's current environment in one sentence, and finally said: "Cultivation has entered the hearts of the people, Taoist temples are no longer a place for monks to stay, but a kind of peace of mind and thoughts. This action must be There are hundreds of new palaces and temples, two in the big city, one in the middle city, and one next to the small city. Those dangerous places are also planned to be built in the future for resource development. When there are enough people, they will be distributed to various places... "
Lu Yuanqing paused, and said word by word: "One city, one view, one view, one innate!"
Hiss, what a wild (niu) heart (bi)!
Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai looked at each other and thought to themselves at the same time.
"I was promoted to Immortal, and other people think that the relationship is weak. Who knows, the relationship between the Taoist Academy and the government is closer because of the existence of common interests. We help them develop resources, stabilize the hearts of the people, and the whole country believes in practice. The official has to take advantage of the situation to stabilize You can’t go against the trend. What’s more, the jurisdiction of the temple is in the local Taoist Association, and the Taoist Association belongs to the government. Even if they have differences, they will eventually understand that this is the best choice at present.”
Lu Yuanqing stood up suddenly, faced the two of them squarely, and asked: "I'm not talented in the small way, I said a lot of nonsense, now I dare to ask you two laymen, what are your plans for the future?"
The brilliance in his eyes flowed, and a gust of fresh air gushed out, wrapped around his body, and climbed to the top in an instant.
Such a strong momentum!
Gu Yu was greatly surprised, this person's determination is worthy of death, and must not be underestimated.
Immediately, with a flick of his long sleeve, Lu Yuanqing's empty teacup immediately overflowed with boiling water, and the fragrance of tea wafted away again. He stretched out his hand again and said with a smile, "Please, please have tea!"
"..."
Lu Yuanqing looked at him for a while, then smiled suddenly, took a sip from his cup.
"You have big ambitions, we admire you. Since you are open and honest, I will also tell you frankly."
Gu Yu held Xiao Zhai's hand, and said: "I wish in my life, one wish is to seek the Dao, the second wish is to be married to gods and immortals, and the third wish is to cultivate a prosperous world."
"Oh? What is a prosperous world?" Lu Yuanqing paused and became a bit more interesting.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, spirits are immortal, all things reincarnate, and souls depend on them. A hundred schools of thought contend, and there are thousands of Taoisms. Although everyone may not be enlightened, everyone has the opportunity to seek Taoism. This is a prosperous age!"
"..."
Lu Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
They have had many contacts before, but due to the limited situation, many things cannot be said. It's okay now, and it's the first time I really talked about it.
There is only one purpose, whether there is any conflict between the two sides. From this point of view, there is bound to be conflict and friction in the handling of certain details.
Having said all that, Lu Yuanqing didn't talk nonsense, cupped his hands, and used his unique escape method to go away.
Xiao Zhai was so bored, he just said: "This man is too forbearing, he only revealed a little bit of it until today, it's boring."
"The environment is different. Putting me in the monastery may not necessarily be better than him."
Gu Yu always had an understanding and appreciation for Lu Yuanqing, paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I saw Xiaoqiu when I came here, this girl is having a lot of fun recently."
"How to say?" Xiao Zhai was still unclear.
"It's probably because I want to understand my heart and let myself go. Hey, I'm really interested. What can this girl do?" Gu Yu was curious.
