Chapter 403

"You, you...you want to rebuild the Maniac?"

Ji Yi, who was injured when she fell off a horse and was recuperating on the bed, heard the three "demon demons" who came to visit her in front of the bed expressing their thoughts of rebuilding the Ming Dynasty Church in Jiehe Shang City, and she immediately had the urge to go to Lingao to become a magistrate.

Why are you so unlucky?

The black pot on Zhang Dun's side has not been washed yet, and the black pot of the Ming Cult has been pressed up again. If I had known this, I would have gone to Linggao and stayed far away!

"Yes, I know, isn't it a good opportunity now?" Mo Niangzi smiled, "Isn't your family active in the officialdom for the past few years just to make the Holy Church meet the light of day again? Is the Jiehe Market a place of freedom for all religions? If the Holy Church General Assembly can reopen in Jiehe, wouldn't it be your family's wish for many years?"

"Mo Li, if you want to build a Dayun Guangming Temple in Jiehe Shang City, I won't stop you." Ji Yi felt so miserable. Why was she so unlucky? She flattered Zhang Dun, but he became a thorn in the official family and was so tired that he was a villain! The family had something to do with the Ming Cult, and it was originally expected that the Ming Cult would be legalized and it was removed. But Mo Niangzi and the old monk Jingming now wanted to reopen the Ming Cult's Church!

A vocational school and a temple are completely different concepts!

Although Bailian Temple is now open everywhere, it is a mess. Even the Ming Cultivate General Assembly located in Muzhou is too secret and cannot effectively mobilize the majority of the church members. They don’t know what the Ming Cultivate General Assembly is, nor do they know the foundation of Bailian Temple.

In fact, most of the White Lotus Temples are just wild temples that cheat money and do not obey the command of the Muzhou General Hall. Today's Ming Cult is actually a scattered sect that is unorganized. It can even be regarded as a branch of Buddhism.

Therefore, it is possible that the court agreed to the Ming Cult to regain legal status. But once the Ming Cult's Holy See appears in the Jiehe River, the nature of the matter will be different immediately!

The Ming Cult will gradually become a sect with a strong organization... just like the Ming Cult was just introduced to the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty.

Ji Yi knew that the Manichaeism was in the Uighurs at that time, and the Dayun Guangming Temple in various parts of the Central Plains was under the jurisdiction of the Datang diocese. This is probably the reason why Manichaeism has been slumped in Huichang until now... The court can tolerate Buddhism and Taoism, but it will never tolerate an organized religion!

"The Holy See is absolutely not possible!" Ji Yi shook his head and said firmly, "It can only be Dayun Guangming Temple... If you agree, I will go and say hello to Wu Haogu. Otherwise, I will also go and say to Wu Haogu that you are not allowed to open a Holy See! I am the next Cangzhou judicial military officer, and I can also speak for the police patrol in Jiehe Shang City."

The prefectures of the Song Dynasty had "Judicial Joining the Army" and "Judicial Manager Joining the Army" to jointly take charge of the matter of prison and public security. However, Jiehe Shang City was not under the jurisdiction of Cangzhou. Ji Yi, the judicial joining the army, could manage it, that is, the embankments and trenches of Jiehe Shang City.

However, the power to be in charge of Jiehe Commercial City is not small. Wu Haogu must not want to cause too much unpleasantness with Ji Yi, the judicial army.

Moreover, the appearance of the Maniac in Jiehe Market is not beneficial to Wu Haogu.

Madam Mo and Monk Jingming looked at each other, Madam Mo smiled and said, "Then let's build a Dayun Guangming Temple first.

In addition, the family of the selected people who are now living in Pingjiang and Mingzhou will also move to Jiehe Shang City one after another. I am so worried that you can say hello to the Pingjiang family."

There were originally more than a dozen people's homes, but due to the Manichaeism's "family planning" tendency, the number of people's homes has been decreasing. Now there are only seven families left, with the surname "Mo, Xue, Sa, Lu, Yi, Ming, Ku". The population is small, less than a thousand people, and they are all engaged in shipbuilding, textile (carpet weaving), gold and silverware and other industries, all of which are industrial and commercial homes.

Ji Yi supported their migration. Although it would bring some inconvenience to the Ji family's business in Pingjiang and Mingzhou, the benefits were obvious.

Because these selected families have a close relationship with the Ji family, if they move to Jiehe Commercial City, Ji Yi will be able to grasp the situation of Jiehe Commercial City through them.

If you really want to go to Jiehe and Wu Haogu to fight against Taiwan in the future, these seven electoral families and the Ji family's own power in Jiehe will become Ji Yi's help.

"This is OK," Ji Yi said carefully, "It will be profitable for you to open a shipyard in Jiehe Shang City... You can also make some Persian-style things there to give to the Khitans and Goryeo. By the way, there are a lot of wool in the Khitans, and you can build a wool weaving factory in Jiehe Shang City."

Ji Yi stayed in Liao Kingdom for several months, and naturally knew what products and needs there were.

Wool is a big street in Liao Kingdom, and a big boy can buy a lot. Although Liao Kingdom also has a wool weaving industry, its level is not high and it cannot weave things like Persian carpets. Therefore, the carpets on the market in Liao Kingdom are shipped from the Western Regions Silk Road, and the quality is not as good as seven people. They are authentic Persian fakes! If they can be produced in large quantities, they can definitely be dumped in Liao Kingdom and Goryeo, and maybe they can be sold a lot in the Song Dynasty.

In addition, there are many ship craftsmen in the seven selected companies, all of whom are material craftsmen and master craftsmen. The shipbuilding industry in the Song Dynasty was very developed, and the ships they made were not only supplied to Han Chinese merchants, but also exported. Therefore, the styles of ships they built were not limited to Chinese, but also Persian and Dashi styles of ships. Most of the ships active on the Maritime Silk Road were produced in the Song Dynasty.

These days, ships must be built at the beginning or end of the Maritime Silk Road, otherwise they will have to be emptied. The loss of emptied is much more expensive than the price of the ship! Regardless of whether the shipbuilding technology is good or bad, there are not many forests on the Arabian Peninsula to cut down.

Therefore, most of the Dashi and Persian-style ships on the sea were also produced in the Song Dynasty. The shipmakers from the Qi family specially built Persian and Dashi style sea ships. This kind of sea ship uses triangular soft sails, which have certain ability to sail against the wind, and are relatively fast, and are suitable for long-distance voyages. The disadvantage is that there are many sailors needed and they are more complicated to operate. Ordinary Han sailors cannot control them. However, the sailors of the Ji family can operate these Persian and Dashi style sea ships. It is not bad to move the origin of the Persian and Dashi style sea ships required by the Ji family to the Jiehe Shang City. At that time, the Ji family's long-distance fleet can start from Jiehe Shang City and directly install excellent quality Dingzhou porcelain in Jiehe Shang City.

...

Shortly after Madam Mo, Monk Jingming and Fang La left the Ji family, Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen brothers came to visit.

Although Wu Haogu was a little gloating about Ji Yi's fall, he still had to do the etiquette he should do. Wu Haowen and Ji Yi both ranked on the same level as Jinshi, and they were both from Taixue. Wu Haogu and Ji Yi were colleagues who flattered each other, and soon they were going to Cangzhou to be officials together. So they still had to be harmonious in their face.

After a few greetings in Ji Yi's bedroom, he said for a while, and Ji Yi was not seriously injured, but her legs were a little lame and her waist was a little painful. Then Ji Yi directed the topic to Manichi.

"Manichae Church?" Wu Haogu didn't know what Manichae Church was like in history, but he knew a little about the "Holy Church" and so on.

"It's equivalent to the Maniche court!" Ji Yi frowned and said, "In the Tang Dynasty, Maniche was controlled by the Uighur Church, but now the Uighur Church has long collapsed, and there are all headless people, so some Maniche monks want to re-establish the Holy See in the Central Plains."

"Isn't it good to have a Holy See?" Wu Haowen asked.

"Of course not good," Ji Yi shook his head and said, "The Holy See is a small court. He is in charge of the major affairs of a religion. He sets up his subordinates, some manages money, some manages subordinates, some manages construction, some manages missionary, and some regulates teaching methods. The diocese will be divided below, just like the state and county roads of the country... I heard that some Western sects have troops!"

"Isn't this a rebellion?" Wu Haowen was surprised. "Will the imperial courts in those countries send troops to arrest him?"

Wu Haogu thought: I'm afraid I can't hold on to the Caliph and the Pope...

But then again, the methods of foreigners are still worthy! Wu Haogu suddenly thought: Christianity, Tianfang Cult, and Manichaeism can be spread from the West to China from all over the world, among which Christianity and Tianfang Cult were later spread throughout the world. Isn’t that a problem?

Why is Confucianism not possible? Why can't Confucius and Mencius spread to Rome and Baghdad? Not to mention Rome and Baghdad, even Malacca and Java Island do not believe in Confucius and Mencius now! There are only the Great Song Dynasty, Great Liao, Western Xia, Dali, Annan, and Japan, and the spread of Confucianism.

Doesn’t this mean the failure of Confucianism in dissemination? Is Confucianism’s principles bad? I’m afraid it may not be necessary? Although Confucianism lacks great gods, it can be spread in combination with other religions.

Since there is nothing wrong with the principle, it must be a matter of communication methods! It seems that Confucianism does not have a special agency responsible for spreading the teachings of Confucius and Mencius to the outside world?

Not to mention that the Song Dynasty is now military lame, even when the Han and Tang dynasties were the most awesome in the past, it seems that they have never done this? Even a great man like Li Er did not send Cheng Yaojin to spread the Confucian truth with one hand and one hand, the "Five Classics" to the people of the Western Regions?
