0371 The danger of Buddhism(1/2)
The next day Chen Jingke found Changsun Wujia, told her his plan, and asked her for two Taoist temples.
Changsun Wugou sighed: "I don't know what kind of virtue they accumulated in their previous lives, but they will be able to meet you in this life."
Chen Jingke said: "I am lucky to meet them."
Changsun Wugou didn't say anything else. A few days later, he gave him two official documents, which clearly stated that such-and-such tunnel belonged to Chen Jingke.
It also clearly states the size of the Taoist temple, staffing, etc.
With these two official documents, he can send people to take over the two Taoist temples. Then recruit the necessary Taoist priests and apply for ultimatums for these Taoist priests based on the official documents.
The scale of these two Taoist temples is naturally far inferior to that of Zixiao Temple, but they are still relatively large.
And they are all located in relatively prosperous places, which are stronger than most Taoist temples, and are enough for Yuzhu and Yi Nu to establish themselves.
In addition to the above, the two Taoist temples each have 300 acres of auxiliary temple property.
Li Shimin's reforms covered a wide range of areas, including restrictions on religious scale and property.
It is unrealistic not to allow temples and temples to own any land, but it must be strictly limited.
According to the size of the temple, the land owned is also limited.
Generally, a small temple with three or five people will be given 20 acres of land; a temple with a dozen or so people will be given 50 acres of land.
The bigger ones are 100 acres, ranging from 150 acres to 300 acres.
The land of each temple is fixed and no increase or decrease is allowed. If there is an increase or decrease, the temple will be destroyed directly and the first offender will be severely punished.
Moreover, temple land must also pay taxes. Taoist monks have only one privilege, they do not have to perform corvee, and the rest are exactly the same as ordinary people.
Changsun Wugou gave him two Taoist temples, each with a property of 300 acres, which shows the scale of these two Taoist temples.
After returning home, Chen Jingke handed these two official documents to the two women, which naturally caused them to burst into tears of excitement.
"These two places are still temples and need to be renovated to a certain extent, and manpower needs to be recruited again. Are you going to do it yourself, or let Zixiaoguan do it for you?"
Yuzhu immediately said: "I don't understand this either, please help me, Master."
Chen Jingke said: "Yes, but you must also learn how to manage the Taoist temple, and don't rely on others for everything."
Yuzhu naturally knows this truth. She values this industry more than anyone else. How could she not be interested in it: "Don't worry, I will study hard and take over this Taoist temple as soon as possible."
Chen Jingke nodded and asked Yi Nu: "What about you? Do you have any ideas?"
Yi Nu hesitated for a long time and then said cautiously: "I... many people helped me when I was in the palace... I want to discuss it with them..."
Chen Jingke interrupted her with a smile and said, "I understand. You don't need to tell me these things. You can just go and discuss them with them."
Yi Nu said gratefully: "Thank you, Master."
After that, Chen Jingke went to the obelisk class in the outer courtyard, and Yuzhu also left with an excuse.
How could Yi Nu not know the reason why the two did this? He was very moved and contacted Yang Tianlu.
Yang Tianlu came very quickly. As soon as he came in, he frowned and said: "Why are you contacting me again? After finally getting away, live a happy life. Don't contact me again in the future."
Hearing this, Yi Nu became more sure that what he had done was right. He took out the document and showed it to him: "Look."
Yang Tianlu took it and looked through it and knew what it was. He asked doubtfully: "How come you have this thing? Where did it come from?"
Yi Nu said: "The real person gave it to me, he said..."
She explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then said: "With this industry, you can put some important people here and do things without any worries."
Yang Tianlu was very excited, but still asked: "This is given to you and your children by the real person, do you really want to do this?"
Yi Nu smiled and said, "Why not? Without your care, I would have died a long time ago...Besides, didn't I agree at the beginning that I would take care of your children when I got away? Is there any better place than this now?"
Yang Tianlu took a deep breath and said: "Okay, we didn't misjudge you. I believe everyone will be very happy to know."
Then he returned the official document to Yi Nu and said: "Give it to Zhenren and let him help you build this Taoist temple."
Yi Nu said in surprise: "Why?"
Yang Tianlu smiled and said: "I am the governor of Zixiao Temple. If a real person wants to build these two Taoist temples, he must go through my hands. Do you understand, my silly sister?"
Yi Nu suddenly realized it and said: "I see, well, I will give the official document to the real person when he comes back."
After a pause, she asked again: "Are they okay?"
Yang Tianlu's face turned gloomy and he said: "The only five people left are Xiang Xuezhen, Kong Zhengping, Yao Yangyun and you and me."
Yi Nu said sadly: "Are you sure everyone is gone?"
Yang Tianlu smiled bitterly and said: "How can you be sure? Have you forgotten the rules we agreed upon? If a person disappears, it means he is gone."
Yi Nu sighed and stopped talking.
Yang Tianlu smiled and said: "But they all left behind descendants before they left, which can be regarded as leaving roots. We take good care of these children, which is the best way to miss him."
"You came to the Taoist temple at the right time. I was just worried about how to accommodate these children."
Yi Nu nodded and said, "Well, we must take good care of them."
Speaking of this, she remembered something and asked quickly: "Where is your child?"
Yang Tianlu said somewhat uncomfortably: "Ahem, I'm relatively safe in Zixiaoguan, so there's no rush for now... Ahem, no, I'm looking for a suitable woman to give birth to me."
Yi Nu said suspiciously: "You are not attracted to a certain woman, are you?"
Yang Tianlu said with some embarrassment: "No, no, how can people like us incur love debts? Wouldn't that be harmful to others? It would be good for everyone to give money to find a new wife."
Yi Nu sighed and said, "That's right. With your personality, if you really fall in love with a woman, you will definitely stay away from her."
"Hurry up and spend money to find a woman to have a baby. Anyway, there is a place for her now, so don't delay."
Yang Tianlu said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Okay, don't worry, my child will definitely be born next year..."
"I'm leaving first. Although the real person has guessed my identity, it's better not to let him catch me."
Yi Nu said: "Okay, you go back first, I'm looking for you if I have something."
When he walked away, she showed worry.
She has been trained as a spy and a dead soldier since she was a child. Observing people's words and serving others is something she must learn, so how could she not see that Yang Tianlu was not honest with her words.
What she didn't expect was that he was actually attracted to women, and she didn't know which woman had such charm.
But thinking rationally, she didn't want such a thing to happen. If a dead soldier gets emotional, there is a high probability that he will die soon.
She wanted Yang Tianlu to live well, and every extra day she lived would be earned, right?
I just hope he can think clearly and don't regret it if something goes wrong.
In the evening, when Yi Nu returned the official document, Chen Jingke was not surprised.
He would be stupid if he didn't know Yang Tianlu's identity by now... Well, okay, he is indeed stupid.
Because it was under Wu Shu's guidance that he determined Yang Tianlu's identity as a spy.
Mainly because of preconceptions, he took the initiative to find Yang Tianlu, and he didn't subconsciously consider this aspect.
After confirming Yang Tianlu's identity, he was so embarrassed that he almost found a crack in the ground and crawled in.
No one would take the initiative to invite spies to his home. The key is how confident he was at the beginning, thinking that he had the spirit of a bastard, and that the heroes in the world would bow to him as soon as his tiger body shook his body.
Only now do I know how to lure the wolf into the house.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had no other ideas and behaved openly, otherwise the end would definitely be miserable.
Then he concluded a truth: the most important thing in life is not how good you are, but how to embrace your thighs.
The only way to survive is to make sure that Changsun Wugu's thigh is firmly hugged and not let go.
That night, the two excited little maids transformed into Juicer Girls and squeezed him in all directions. Even Yi Nu was injured and danced a light twist and slow swing.
But she finally got the essence she dreamed of, but she didn't know how lucky it was.
…
The imperial court officially took sides, which was a fatal blow to Buddhism.
There is a saying that what is good for the superiors must be done for the inferiors. When the emperor expresses his dissatisfaction with Buddhism, the officials below will only redouble their actions.
Banning all Dharma activities in the temple is a minor matter, but finding various excuses to close the temple and think about one's mistakes is commonplace.
What's more serious is that all the temples that had done dirty things before were found guilty this time, and were punished quickly and severely. Hundreds of temples were destroyed in a wave.
When this evil deed was exposed, it had a huge impact on local believers.
It is conceivable that when the people know that they believe in such a group of filthy people, it will be a huge blow to them.
Of course, people will not implicate the entire Buddhism because of the evil deeds of one temple.
But this temple is closed and there are no temples around. What should I do if I want to worship God?
As general believers, the common people of the Tang Dynasty immediately made a choice to go to Taoist temples.
They are all gods, and worshiping no one is not worshiping them.
However, many things often rely on inertia. When people get used to coming to Taoist temples to worship gods, it will be difficult for them to come back even if the temple is built again.
Don't forget that there is also Journey to the West. People don't care so much, they really treat mythical stories as reality.
