Liu Shenwei looked at this and that, and then slapped his thigh, "We were wrong!"

As a result, he turned around and ran into his room, and then he took out a book that could not be rubbed even from any corner. Lin Yutong suspected that he was using it to plug the hole where the smoke was leaking, and now he has brought it
, He smoothed it out as he walked, but it was obviously in vain, it was still so wrinkled. He just handed it over, with a bit of a smile on his face, "The book is in an unsightly state, but it is really a good book."
"
What book is it? Lin Yutong lowered his head and took a look: "Laozi Hua Hu Jing".
This book was written by a disciple of Taoism during the Wei and Jin Dynasties! Anyway, there were all kinds of chaos during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and chaos was manifested in all aspects. The same goes for religion. Buddhism didn’t just start in the Tang Dynasty, right? It was already spread during the Wei and Jin Dynasties
At that time, Taoism also emerged, metaphysics also emerged, and there were all kinds of doctrines.
What industry has no competition? It is estimated that Taoist disciples wanted to disparage Buddhism, so they wrote a book like this. It writes about Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism. After leaving Hangu Pass, he went to the territory of the barbarians, and then became a
For the Buddha, he accepted many disciples, and thus Buddhism came into being.
This means that all disciples of Buddhism are my disciples.
What does Liu Shenwei mean when he brings this up now? It means that he made a mistake in worshiping the other party as his master. Our Taoist sect is his Buddhist sect’s master.
Lin Yutong: "..." Fortunately, people who have forgotten that they are Taoist disciples can still remember this.

She said, "Brother, it's time for my husband to take medicine."
Liu Shenwei: "…………Oh!" We can understand the voice-over, and he quickly went to boil the medicine.
Fourth Master: "..." Can you please stop giving me bitter soup?
Tongtong remembered and shouted to Liu Shenwei: "Senior brother, make pills and make them smaller. The small mold I gave you will do."

The fourth master then smiled and reached out to take the book from Tongtong. Lin Yutong sat next to the fourth master, and the two of them came together to read! Not to mention, there are not many words in this thing, but it has a nose and an eye.
It’s much better than what was written in later generations. How did a Taoist priest think of transforming into a Buddha? No one else has such imagination.
After reading it, Fourth Master smiled and said, "Keep it, this book will be hard to find in a few years."
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and then remembered that this book was later banned by Emperor Wu's order, and anyone who found it would have it burned.
This also reminds me that we should not be anxious when it comes to religion. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it depends on how you use Buddhism and Taoism.
During the Sui Dynasty, Buddhist temples were greatly prospered, and many people became monks and nuns. This was detrimental to social development. So Li Yuan issued an order saying that it was time to ban it. Monks and nuns should also return to secular life, otherwise they would not be able to recruit soldiers. This is
As soon as I expressed my position, someone immediately said, I saw an old Taoist riding a white horse in Yangjiao Mountain, saying that he was the ancestor of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. So Li Yuan said that this old Taoist must be Li Er, and Li Er is the ancestor of my family.
, I have to build a Laojun temple in Yangjiao Mountain.
The status of Taoism suddenly rose. Li Yuan also expressed his views on Buddhism and Taoism in the Imperial College. He said that Taoism ranks first, Confucianism ranks second, and Buddhism ranks third. When Li Shimin was in power, he began
, it definitely means that he has to listen to his father in everything! If he does something unfilial, of course he must be filial in other places! His father is the first Taoist, so for that question, Taoism is the first. His father said that he is the descendant of Li Er
Man, no problem, we must be descendants of Li Er. Whoever dares to refute that Buddha is above the Tao will be exiled.
But later, he felt that just suppressing Buddhism was not enough. Buddhism still had its uses. Besides, even if Taoism was dominant, it would be troublesome sooner or later. This is why Xuanzang received great attention after his return. This was Li
It was a signal that the Tang royal family expressed its importance to Buddhism.
In this way, Taoism and Buddhism are actually in a competitive relationship.
How did Buddhism flourish later? Later, a monk named Faming gave Empress Wu a scripture, saying that the Empress Dowager was the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha in the West and should replace Li Tang in the world.
From this time on, the Tang Dynasty truly entered the climax of worshiping Buddhism.
The Fourth Master then said, "Why are you anxious? It's not you who is anxious... If you don't go, he is more anxious than you." What's more, you forgot, "'you' grew up reciting scriptures!"
In the temple, your enlightenment textbooks are all Buddhist scriptures.
What Lin Yutong was thinking was, "So, I am an abandoned disciple who betrayed Buddhism?"
Fourth Master: "..." This is correct! But we can also change the angle, "The Buddhist disciples and the Taoist sect have accepted them. This is the Taoist sect's ambition. Now, if you want to find a great monk, he will not accept it..."
"

Lin Yutong rolled his eyes: "The old monk must be very angry. He feels that I have no integrity! First I betrayed Buddhism, and this time I betrayed Taoism. Such a person's moral character is worrisome!"
Fourth Master looked at her seriously, "We don't want anyone to cross over, we have to cross by ourselves! They ask others to do good deeds. But what about us? We are doing good deeds ourselves and benefiting others. Actions are always better than words."

Tongtong left the book behind, "I think there are two things that are most lacking in the Western Regions. One is people. The other is cattle. When a woman gives birth to a child and the child is sick, it is useless to pray to the Buddha. You still have to have something.
Save the lives of women and children. There are also cattle. As long as there are acres of land cleared, they will be given to cattle... This must be insisted on. The breeding of cattle requires artificial intervention!"
Yes! Humans and cattle are the foundation.
In fact, in addition to people and cattle, there is another more important point: the same language and the same script.
They can maintain their respective cultures, but tools are needed to communicate with each other. The fourth master asked people to send documents to each tribe, and he could send the children of each tribe to enroll in school. They originally had noble children enrolled in Chang'an Imperial College, but others did not have this qualification.
Fourth Master decentralized qualifications this time and made it very clear that those who come here must learn these types of skills: first, craftsman; second, veterinarian; third, spinning and weaving. Moreover, there is no limit on personnel, food and accommodation
Free of charge. As long as people come, nothing will be a problem.
Not only were they sent to the nobles of a tribe, they were also sent to the civil servants of the Anxi Yamen, asking them to beat gongs and drums and notify everyone who could.
Nobles will not do these 'lowly' industries!
What I want is that you don’t do it! There is no poor family that doesn’t have a few half-year-old children. These children work too little and eat a lot. When there are more children, they will not be able to take care of them. As long as room and board are free, no one will come.
Yes? There must be. There are boys and girls!
How did Hu Ji come to be? It was because she couldn't survive, so she sold her daughter and ran away to the Central Plains with the merchants.
Yes! There are now 8,000 households in Tongtong just from the food estate. Coupled with the income from other industries, it is not a problem to feed these children.
But Tongtong Shangzhezi and Li Zhi had to explain this matter thoroughly. This was not an invitation to buy people's hearts, but a necessary measure. Now the imperial court did not have the money, but as a princess, everything she had was actually given by the imperial court.
. She lent these to the court, in the name of the court. When the court's situation improves in the future, she can ask the court to return them to her.
Tongtong was really good at writing excerpts. She said that even if they only knew one word a day, they would still know 360 words a year. In four or five years, they would basically be able to write and read. Putting a person free
In a language environment, after four or five years, you can listen and speak.
This is more important than anything else.
When the book was delivered to the capital, it was a hot summer day. Li Zhi held the book and was speechless for a long time. He told Yan Chongming, "When the First Emperor unified the six countries, I thought the most important thing he did was to keep the cars on the same track.
The book has the same text and the deeds have the same theme."
But a princess is doing this.
It's not that others can't think of it, nor that they don't have such abilities. It's just that they stand in different positions.
Yan Chongming did not dare to speak. This is also true. Today's ministers are from aristocratic families, and the common people of the Tang Dynasty are not willing to ask them to learn this or that. They suppress the poor family and do not stand out. The people of foreign countries, and
How could it be in their eyes? It was Pingkangfang in Chang'an City, which was also where the Han prostitutes stayed. Hu Ji's prices were much cheaper, and they said they sold wine, but in fact they sold everything! It's just that
The price is just cheaper. If anyone wants to marry a Hu girl, he will not be allowed by the family. Therefore, let alone the aristocratic family, if a commoner marries a Hu girl, even a slave will not want to marry a Hu girl. Even if it is a formal concubinage,
Shameless!
Of course, it would be different if the barbarians made achievements on the battlefield and stood in the court. This is an improvement in family status!
However, when a vassal general who has lived in Chang'an for a long time usually marries a Han woman for his son's wife, after three generations, the characteristics of the Hu people will gradually disappear. The married women generally marry low, and when they marry into a Han family, they usually marry a Han woman after three generations.
It's not obvious anymore.
With such status and understanding, how could they think of asking Hu people to study literature?
Pei Xingjian was probably an official, and the tribes in the Western Regions were also very impressed, saying that he was very benevolent and righteous! But his benevolence and righteousness were his and a gift from him.
Princess Protector was different. The first thing she thought of was that these were the people of the Tang Dynasty. Back then, the First Emperor was able to integrate the six kingdoms into one, but now he only uses the Tang Dynasty to integrate the Western Regions. There is no reason why it cannot be done.
Yes! If you think about it this way, things will actually be easier.
Li Zhi took the book and asked Liu Ren, "Has the Queen read it?"
I've seen it, and I said it's to see if you approve it.
Li Zhi stood up, grabbed a pen and wrote the word "accurate" and then gave it to Liu Ren, "Go in person and give it to the prince."
Liu Ren quickly lowered his head, said yes, and then slowly exited.
The prince took the fold and took a look at it, and then said, "Someone will send it to the princess. Also, please wait a moment. There are still letters and things in the palace that need to be delivered to the princess." After saying this, he looked at Liu Ren, "
You go back and ask if there is anything else my father wants to bring to the princess, and I will send it to you alone."
Liu Ren sighed, actually... that's not what the sage meant. The sage is not telling you to deal with people directly, but he is telling you to look at it. No matter how famous a minister is, you should not be superstitious. No matter how powerful he is, what is under his butt is
To be continued...
