"Fare Buddhist temples?"

After hearing Han Li's proposal, Richard frowned deeply. After so many years in this world, Richard was no longer the foolish boy who knew nothing.

The Confucian thoughts in this world were not very influential. After all, the national style of the Tang Dynasty focused on martial arts and over literature, and the road to imperial examinations was not just about the eight-legged essays and the Four Books and Five Classics as the Ming and Qing Dynasties on Earth.

However, because the Buddhist and Taoist schools in this world mastered magic techniques beyond ordinary people's understanding, and in order to expand their wealth, the disciples of the Buddhist and Taoist schools often acted as saints to deceive superstitious civilians, Buddhism came up with the saying of Buddha in the West, and Taoism held high the legendary banner of Pangu, the ancestor Hongjun, and listed the Three Pure Land as Taoist true gods!

Therefore, both Buddhism and Taoism have a great influence among the people, and are actually no longer different from religion.

However, in East Asia, secular regimes are higher than religious beliefs, so the influence of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be compared with that of the government.

Even so, there are countless Taoist temples and temples everywhere. These Taoist temples and temples often have a large amount of land. After all, most people in Taoist temples and temples do not work and must rely on exploiting tenants to rent land to supplement their household income.

The technical difficulty of the local owner is much lower than that of running a business. If a person with a normal mind is able to collect rent.

The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism are different from ordinary landlords. They not only control the tenants from their bodies, but also spiritually develop them into their own believers, firmly tie them to their own feet, and contribute their labor to their cultivation and life needs.

Obviously, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have achieved great success. Controlling a person from a mental perspective is often more effective than physical, let alone dual control!

After discovering this advantage, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were no longer satisfied with developing believers among their own tenants, but spreading the beliefs of Buddhism and Taoism to the people, squeezing the survival soil of those wild sorcerers.

As expected, at the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist and Taoist sects not only became guests of the Tang Dynasty royal family, but also the wild sorcerers among the people were divided and compiled by the Buddhist and Taoist sects...

If the Taoist and Buddhist signs were not banned, the wild sorcerer would have been wiped out by disciples of the Buddhist and Taoist sects long ago.

During the confrontation, it is not too easy to encircle and suppress wild sorcerers with the support of the government and a large organization. Moreover, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism do not have to kill them all. As long as you take refuge in my Buddha or hang a Taoist sign, you can transform yourself into your own person.

In this way, the Buddhist and Taoist sects quickly ruled the wild sorcerers in the world, but because the wild sorcerers who joined the Buddhist and Taoist sects were too complicated and chaotic, many small categories of temples and Taoist temples were derived.

The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism are just two kinds of cultivation concepts, and the organizational density is incomparable to the government. This is inseparable from the secret push by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism seem to be brilliant, but they are actually divided into many sects according to different regions. Although they all believe in the Three Pure Land or Buddhas, they are actually not subordinate to each other. Because of this, the governments of the Tang Dynasty can tolerate their spread of faith among the people.

Originally, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism rely on the government to survive and do not interfere with each other. The masters of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism often become the imperial thugs of the court, so naturally there will be no problems.

However, the orthodox Tang Dynasty declined, the Ming army invaded, and Richard's order to exempt the debt of equal fields completely broke this solid balance.

In the Great Northwest region, Taoism was very weak and there was not much land. It was not worth worrying. After the Ming army arrived, it naturally disappeared. The little Taoist priests who were not as good as the weather went to the Central Plains, and even took the initiative to surrender to the Ming army.

However, after seeing several saints who claimed to be Taoist priests, Richard completely lost patience with these scammers. The Ming Dynasty's finances were not abundant, Richard would not raise a group of Taoist priests who only knew how to use tricks...

However, the Taoist power in the Northwest region is weak mainly because this is the basic tantric system of one of the major forces in Buddhism!

There are three major forces in Buddhism, Tufan Lama, Tantric Buddhism in the northwest, and Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains. In addition, Buddhism has also developed the belief of immortality among the northern nomadic peoples. However, as millions of green skins move south, nomadic peoples go south, and this lineage will naturally disappear...

Green skin doesn’t matter if you are a Buddhist disciple or not, as long as you are a human, they will be their food!

Taoism has the most powerful force in the Central Plains. Even the martial arts world in the martial arts world have Taoism represented the Wudang Sect. However, in other regions, Taoism has very weak power. This is why the Tufan people were shocked when they learned that Richard was the "Dao Zun"...

Even in the Central Plains, there are no more than one-handed numbers. One of them in the Western Regions is like myths and legends...

However, the Taoist organization is even more scattered than the Buddhist sect. So far, except for some geniuses who came to surrender to Richard, no serious and useful Taoist successor came to surrender to Richard!

In Taoism, families are much stricter than Buddhist schools, and each Taoist school has established its foundation in the world. In order to avoid vicious competition and plunder among colleagues, Taoist schools rarely contact each other on weekdays.

It is precisely this practice that has made Taoism unable to expand its power as much as Buddhism.

If it weren't for those Taoist priests who supported it, Taoism would have been compared long ago by Buddhism.

By the same token, believers who believe in Buddhism were far superior to those who believe in Taoism in the Tang Dynasty. Richard knew very well how unscientific ideological weapon was. The devout crazy believers simply fought with morale, and they were really no worse than the system soldiers who were fearless...

Because all the crazy believers believe that they will enter the so-called Pure Land after death...

Once a person believes in something, his thinking will be fixed, and if he wants to turn it around, he will have to pay a hundred times the price!

If Richard is given more than ten years, perhaps the law and the majesty of the court can slowly help the common people get rid of their blind belief in Buddhism, but now...

Nowadays, the Tantric Buddhism has not publicly launched a banner. Even if it attacks the Ming army, most of them, use the Tianshan Sect and disguises themselves as ordinary bandits. If it weren't for the iconic big bald head, Han Li would never have known that it was done by the Tantric Buddhism...

However, if Richard ordered the enclosure of the temple, Buddhist Tantra would have enough to use it to incite believers to form Buddhist soldiers to start a war against the Ming army!

Richard was not afraid of war, but now Han Li found himself here, obviously he suffered a loss. Tantric Buddhism had not yet made any efforts to rely solely on the Tianshan Sect and a few Buddhist disciples Ming Army. If the war started in full swing, wouldn’t Richard have to mobilize the main force to suppress the rebellion of Buddhist soldiers...
