Chapter 300 Zhao An (6k)
The awesome monk was speechless. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
The fields in the military camp are really fat, and they are almost all high-quality fields by the river. But the problem is that the fields in the military camp are generally concentrated, and everyone has gathered together. During the busy farming period, farming is practice, and even political commissars teach them political classes.
How much time can I spend chanting?
In the military and martial arts, he is fighting and killing all day long. When he goes to the battlefield, will he also have to chop people and Amitabha Buddha?
As for Mintun...
Mintun is originally divided into land, and everyone has twenty acres per capita. What kind of people are they willing to give up the high-quality fields on the plains and medium-quality fields, and run to the deep mountains and forests to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name while farming with peace of mind? They can't escape taxes!
Anyway, if there is such a person, Liu Xie thinks that you should be sincere in your heart, then you should be.
This is no wonder that the awesome monk was confused. He originally came to the death to give them a million Buddhist believers an open identity. As a result, the emperor was so good that he not only gave his identity but also gave him an official position. Among them, he himself jumped into the tax cabinet with two thousand stones.
Although he probably won't have the chance to become a real two thousand stone in his life.
However, among the Buddhist disciples in the Han Dynasty, there were only a few who were really slandered. They would not be jealous of marrying wives, having children, eating meat and drinking. So, what is the so-called believers, besides occasionally reading Buddhist scriptures, is there a difference between them and ordinary people?
As for the official translation of scriptures, this is even more ruthless.
Because it is an alien religion, no one in the Han Dynasty could understand the words of the Indian, so how do you want to translate it? Is the first sentence of the Buddhist scriptures in the future that will last for thousands of years, His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is the reincarnation of the Buddha?
To put it bluntly, according to the emperor's approach, if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, there might not be many people who would be willing to be monks. Even if they were monks, they would probably have no practical impact on the court.
And if the world is in chaos, it doesn’t matter if it is not a monk.
Of course, if he really dared to reject the emperor's "good intention" today, he would be afraid that these monks would really be beaten as Taoist priests.
"I, thank your Majesty for your kindness."
Look, it's more fragrant than two thousand stones.
"As for the responsibilities of White Horse Temple, I think it must be changed. As the official position of the imperial court, there must be a structure. The first is registration. I will send eunuchs from the school office to visit you, and at the same time post the imperial list and issue an edict to the world. It is limited to three months. Even temples hidden in the mountains and forests must be registered with White Horse Temple. The registration contents that need to be registered include the number of believers, temple property, including land, buildings, tools, livestock, weapons, etc.
White Horse Temple has the responsibility to manage monks all over the world. Under the White Horse Order, two other White Horse Chiefs were appointed, with a rank of 1,600 stones. In addition to the first monks of the White Horse Temple, the ones behind must be selected from the temples below. Among the temples below, more than a hundred people are the presidency of the temples to be given to one hundred stones, more than a thousand people are given to six hundred stones, and more than a thousand people are given to one thousand stones, and more than a thousand stones. As for less than a hundred people, you have less than a hundred people, which is the temple that is considered a temple!
The presiding of the temple must be appointed by the court. Well... the specific standards are required, so the Jian'an ceremony will be taken from Buddhist believers. In addition, when registering, the Buddhist Dharma assessment must be carried out. Anyone who calls himself a monk must memorize the entire content of the forty-two chapters of the sutra. Anyway, the 42 volumes of this book are not as long as the Analects of Confucius. If you are a real believer, you must be able to memorize it? It is limited to three months. After three months, all those who have not registered in the White Horse Temple will destroy the temple and kill people. Are there any problems?”
"It's done, prepare to pay taxes. Those who are willing to help me fight can get monks. Zhongda, you can help with this matter. Isn't this still under construction? The new White Horse Temple should not be alive outside the city, just build it in the Nangong. Next to it, a Quanzhen Temple will be built for him. One of the two yamen is in charge of monks and the other is in charge of Taoist priests. The management of Taoist priests is based on the White Horse Temple. Our court should not favor one or the other."
"Yes...ah? You still have to build a Taoist temple? Your Majesty, those who are in trouble in the world are these Taoist priests!" Sima Yi was confused. People like the Three Kingdoms could not think of the point of checks and balances of Buddhism and Taoism for a while. After all, in their eyes, Taoist priests really made a hole in the sky, and monks, at present, they really couldn't see anything.
"Let's do this, religion can't be killed. People believe in whatever they like. Be careful not to have hidden people, and don't have tax evasion, that's enough."
It is better to support two things in religion. Let them fight each other. If the Buddhist masters are in full swing, they will support the Taoist sect. If the Taoist sect is in full swing, they will support the Buddhism. As a historical idiot, at least they know Zhu Di. When Zhu Di raised an army, the Buddhist support for him can be said to have spared no effort. Not only did Shaolin Temple send monks to help with the battle, but even his chief planner was a monk. But after he won the world, he used more money than the Forbidden City to build a Wudang Mountain. I would like to ask if you are angry.
Anyway, whether it is Buddha or Taoism, as long as you pay taxes, will you be good comrades?
