788, Dongsheng Shenzhou

Just one day after returning, Tongtian came to visit me again.

"Buzhou Mountain is open! Why can't I see you entering it?"

As soon as Liu Hao saw Tongtian, he asked about it. He was also extremely confused. Why did he say that he was also the acting leader of Jiejiao? Although his cultivation level may not be the highest, it would be a bit strange not to go. After asking, he thought about the various people in the circle.

Except for Di Juntai and two other people, all the major forces seemed to be quasi-sages, and I felt understood.

"My current leader, when necessary, all the quasi-sages have gone to the remnants of Buzhou Mountain, so I, the acting leader, cannot take risks!"

Tongtian, however, had already thought of a response and answered calmly. Liu Hao understood very well after hearing this and stopped thinking about anything else. He picked up the kettle and started boiling water.

"In the land of Youzhou, although merchants did not participate in the frontline defense, they also ensured the smooth supply of materials and stable prices. With this experience, merchants will have a more stable position in the Tang Dynasty in the future. However, the restriction that merchants cannot become scholars has not been removed. Merchants

Even if you are not allowed to enter the mainstream for a day, have you never thought about breaking free from this shackles?"

Liu Hao boiled tea and asked with a little curiosity. Scholars, farmers, and merchants had the lowest status, and they were forbidden to wear silk and satin. In a word, it was the result of Confucian public opinion, saying that merchants were greedy for money and profits, and there was no bottom line. It was even more forbidden.

A disciple of a merchant becomes a scholar, and after becoming a merchant, he becomes a scholar

In order to reach the bottom of the society with the hope of modern times, they had to vassal themselves with the officials, but most of the benefits were claimed by many officials? Not only were they not able to get the profits, but they were also made scapegoats, and they have been passed down to this day, so that the people have no choice but to believe it.

In the past? Tongtian really didn't think of this. When Liu Hao mentioned it, he immediately figured out the reason. What is the reason for becoming a scholar? Tongtian didn't have that intention at all? It doesn't mean that human merchants will be willing to accept it. One or two generations will be fine, as time goes by

, will inevitably make private businessmen have dissent? Will they seek refuge with local wealthy families? In order to break the shackles of the family's destiny.

If this is the case, it will definitely have a huge impact on businesses in the future.

You know, you know, but it is a bit troublesome to break the situation. As a saint, it is impossible for him to issue a decree? If he really does this, not only will he lose face? It will also make other saints imitate. What kind of sovereignty does the human race have? Then

Still the protagonist of heaven and earth?

"Do you have any method, fellow Taoist? Why don't you tell me?"

Seeing that Liu Hao was not in a hurry, Tongtian simply initiated a consultation? He and Liu Hao have been getting along for a long time, and he was not polite.

Liu Hao laughed and shook his head and said;

"You're lazy!" Liu Hao complained, but he didn't mean to hide it. He continued: "Do you know cotton?"

"You know, Li Shimin is now vigorously promoting cotton cultivation, and General Xu Xing is in charge of this matter. When you mention this, do you want merchants to help promote it?"

"Everything is interconnected and interconnected, and the interests are inherently at stake, so how can you just want to help?"

When Liu Hao said this, he saw that Tongtian was thoughtful and did not hide it, so he simply let it go;

"Li Shimin promoted cotton planting. The people did not know the benefits, so they were bound to be unwilling and unable to resist the policy. When planting, they would definitely not use their heart;

If merchants join in, help the people pay for the seeds, and then purchase and return the money when the harvest is in the future;

In this way, the people will know the benefits and be more motivated, the cotton planting area will be wider, and the harvest will be greater next year."

Tongtian nodded, and he understood the connection as soon as Liu Hao said it. However, what does this have to do with the merchant's failure?

"With more cotton, cotton spinning will inevitably increase. Cotton clothing can replace linen clothing, and may even replace silk in the future and become the mainstream of society. By then, what will happen if merchants ban the wearing of silk and satin?"

When Liu Hao said this, Tongtian frowned slightly. It was just a clothing restriction. After all, the prohibition had not been opened yet, and it seemed that it did not really break the situation for the merchants.

"Confucianism has been in power for a long time, and the people have been guided. How can it be possible to break the situation immediately? The real way to break the situation still requires the people to be wise, know how to think, and not be influenced by others. Only then can the situation be truly broken. Otherwise,

If the situation is broken today, and a new policy will be introduced in the court tomorrow, what will happen?"

"What you want is to have a closer relationship between merchants and the people? Whether it is helping to purchase seeds with funds or ensuring a low price before harvesting, it is all based on the interests of the people. In this way, the reputation of the merchants among the people can be formed.

, it will be very difficult for others to slander you in the future?"

"Of course! When cotton is newly released, the price of cotton cloth is bound to be very high at the beginning. It doesn't matter if it is more expensive for those who buy it. Don't take this opportunity to increase the cost and give more benefits to the people who grow it!"

Tongtian nodded, knowing that Liu Hao's implicit intention was to increase the purchase price, and even do some better output for the people, such as helping them clear ditches, etc., and even the cost of subsidizing the next generation of people to study can be included in these costs.

among.

Of course, there is another point that the two of them have not made clear, which is to introduce some merchant disciples to settle in these ordinary villages, avoiding the current policy that merchant disciples are not allowed to become scholars, and giving merchant disciples some hope;

As for whether it will succeed or not, that is not something that Jiejiao can consider. There is no need to worry about whether it will be discovered or not, because for merchants, all they need is a hope. Let the merchant portal set up a household and turn it into a farmhouse.

, is the best way.

Tongtian figured it out, and then he sent out a flash of light. This flash of light instantly found the person who took charge of Zhao Gongming's place in Chang'an. It was clearly Wen Zhongshi. He was the one who came forward to do this. Tongtian was very relieved.

Once one thing is done, it becomes much more relaxed when drinking tea. After a cup of tea, Tongtian will ask why he came today.

"Boy, you entered the remnant veins of Buzhou Mountain and went to Nuwa Empress's dojo?"

"Your information is really fast, but it can't be hidden from you. I guess all the major sects are aware of it, right?"

"It seems that this is indeed the case. I watched you achieve Daluo Jinxian Dao Fruit, and it seems that it was because of Empress Nuwa!"

"In the Empress's dojo, the aura of good fortune is permeating the air. If you use this as a guide, you are considered lucky!"

"Hahaha, it's you who has a profound background, otherwise how can you achieve it with just a simple introduction? It is not easy to achieve the Daluo Jin Immortal Realm. Nowadays, it is very rare in the earthly immortal world. In ancient times, in the ancient times, the Da Luo Jin Immortal Realm was achieved.

Immortal Dao Fruit is standard, and that’s why Emperor Jun Taiyi has returned!”

"It seems that compared to this, he is a quasi-sage and has good certification?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The quasi-sage is one who understands the great path and has the qualifications. As time goes by, the more spiritual he becomes after understanding, the more likely he is to become a quasi-sage;

On the contrary, Daluo Jinxian Dao Fruit requires a deep foundation to cultivate Daluo Jinxian to the extreme. Such conditions are difficult for many monks to achieve. Even with that qualification, in order to quickly step into the quasi-sage, they will spend their time.

Spending money on comprehending the great road will make the number of Daluo Golden Immortals less and less!

Little do they know that this is putting the cart before the horse and almost annihilating the chance of enlightenment and Hunyuan."

As Tongtian said this, he was still very sad, with a sense of pity for others, and a feeling of hating that iron cannot become steel.

"Proving the Hunyuan Dao is extremely difficult. Not to mention the monks nowadays, even those great powers in ancient times are still stuck outside. In such a long time, I haven't heard of any monks achieving the Hunyuan Dao. The latecomers

Most likely I just think it is false information and just wishful thinking, so why should I care about that? No wonder they are!"

"Yes! How can Hunyuan be so easy to prove?"

Tongtian sighed, shaking his head and laughing in his heart. Forget about anything else, they were just a few saints. Although they had no communication, they had a tacit understanding in their hearts to suppress the latecomers. Who did he have to feel pity for the latecomers?

The reason why he felt this today was that he also discovered that the suppression of the saints for countless years had reached its limit. When he looked at the world, he found that the bottlenecks of many powerful powers that had been stuck for endless years were beginning to loosen.

Among them, Zhen Yuanzi, for example, may not be long before his three obsessive corpses can be cut out, and he can step into the Hunyuan Taiyi Golden Immortal rank. This is equivalent to opening up the ladder for Zhen Yuanzi to continue to rise. Hunyuan can also expect

!

With Zhen Yuanzi acting like this, Ancestor Minghe has also loosened his grip, and even Haotian's obsession is getting ready to move. The saints in the heavens also know that even suppressing it will be more difficult in the future.

Tongtian is also open-minded, and he also feels that this may be the general trend of heaven and earth, which cannot be stopped. He told Liu Hao today, and he is also optimistic about Liu Hao's intentions. When he said this, he no longer struggled, and Tongtian quickly changed the topic.

"Then Monkey Sun also went to the Nuwa Empress Dojo?"

"Of course, not only Monkey King has gone, but Nezha has also gone! After Nezha gets his qualifications back, his achievements in the future are bound to be even higher. But the biggest benefit is Monkey King. With the approval of Empress Nuwa, Buddhism should feel uncomfortable, right?"

"Nuwa Empress originally entrusted the monkeys to Buddhism, but Buddhism was unlucky. When the great calamity increased, Sun Wukong would not be hindered by the journey to obtain the scriptures. Once the Buddhist scriptures were completed, the great calamity would occur. At that time, if Sun Wukong wanted to survive, he would

Cultivation is the guarantee! No wonder Nuwa Empress wants to take action! So what if Buddhism suffers? The situation is such that they cannot make a choice!"

Liu Hao nodded in agreement. If the catastrophe does not escalate and only travels to the west as before, Sun Wukong will most likely be just a Daluo Jinxian after completing the Buddhist scriptures. He will still rely on merit to forcibly improve, and can only rely on endless years to hone his foundation.

Enter the quasi-sage.

These are the calculations of Buddhism, because such Sun Wukong is Buddhism's "fighting and victorious Buddha". Once the corpse is cut off, the "Monkey King" will inevitably appear, and Monkey King will never betray the face of Buddhism and be unruly and free.

That's where he belongs.

All the calculations of Buddhism are out of control, and there is nothing that can be done. How can it be possible to trouble Nuwa? A Daluo Jinxian defeated Buddha in a fight and died in the restarted Seed of Gods. In that case, Buddhism will lose more than it loses.

It's better to take a step back and at least have a three-corpse version of the "Fighting and Victorious Buddha" sitting in Buddhism, and settle for the next best thing.

"Speaking of which, the third generation disciples of Chanjiao are about to rise. Who do you Jiejiao plan to push to fight against them?"

Liu Hao saw Tongtian stunned, and it took a long time for Tongtian to speak.

"The sect was almost wiped out when the Yin and Shang Dynasties were conferred the title of god. Over the years, they have only been able to survive and their luck has been lost. Most of the talented disciples of the third generation have entered the list of gods. How can they be cultivated?

But when you mentioned it today, it reminded me that third-generation disciples need to pay close attention to them!"

"Could it be Red Boy?"

"He is not bad. He has inherited the dual talents of the ancient demon clan and the sea of ​​blood. He is born with three flavors of true fire. In terms of talent, it is indeed feasible, so why not count him as one?

However, Red Boy is still young and not mature enough, so he needs someone more stable to join him!"

"Well... After counting, it seems that Wen Zhong is the only one who can do it!"

"Wen Zhong's stability is perfect, but his qualifications are still a little short!"

"That's right! He has been living in the mortal world. Rather than being suitable for cultivating Taoism, it is better to say that he is more suitable for the Tao of hundreds of schools of thought that I have passed down."

"Hahaha, you're welcome. Our Jiejiao teachings are all about teaching without distinction, and we won't restrict others from practicing other Taoisms. When you say this, Wen Zhong is really as you said. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he was

It is quite appropriate for Emperor Xin Taishi to govern a country in addition to conquering the south and the north. Maybe he can kill three corpses through the method of a hundred schools of thought, which can be regarded as a prosperous road!"

"You agree now? It's really beyond my expectation! It seems that you have underestimated your intellectual ambition!"

Liu Hao was just talking about it, and he really didn't expect Wen Zhong to devote himself to the Hundred Schools of Thought. Instead, the 'acting Jiejiao leader' in front of him nodded in agreement after thinking about it for a moment, which really shocked him.

"Hahaha, my Jiejiao has a broad mind. If not for this, how could tens of thousands of immortals come to the court in ancient times? There are countless people among them who are waiting for entry into the art, and I don't know how many are studying other Taoism outside. This is a common thing!"
