When Zhang Daoquan came to the study, he was even more reserved than Liu Changan just now. He didn't know where to put his hands. His expression was nervous and his movements were stiff.
In the final analysis, Zhang Daoquan is just a magic stick. His status is very different from that of Zhao Junchen. It is understandable that he was a little nervous after meeting Zhao Junchen.
Under Zhao Junchen's gaze, Zhang Daoquan lowered his head and waited for Zhao Junchen's instructions. After a long time, he remembered that he had not knelt down to Zhao Junchen to say hello, so he knelt down in a hurry, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.
"That's all, get up, sit down and talk."
After Zhang Daoquan knelt down to say hello, Zhao Junchen said with a smile.
Zhao Junchen was much more polite towards Zhang Daoquan, because Zhao Junchen did not want to control Zhang Daoquan, but just wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with him with Zhao Junchen as the main one.
After the locust extermination in Lu'an Prefecture, Zhao Junchen discovered that in this era, the influence of various religions on the government and the public was far greater than he imagined. In this case, Zhao Junchen was also prepared to work hard on religion.
, it may not be able to help you in the future.
In Zhao Junchen's view, the theory of "unity of five religions" and "sharing of incense" proposed by Zhang Daoquan is quite tempting to ordinary believers, and can easily have an influence. In another time and space, "one
The success of "Guan Dao" is a clear proof.
Since there is potential, Zhao Junchen will naturally not miss the opportunity to invest.
However, Zhao Junchen does not intend to get involved too deeply. Although the power of religion is huge, if he blatantly supports emerging sects, it is most likely to be criticized. Zhao Junchen does not want to be accused of "malicious intentions" and "collusion with evil cults"
fall on oneself.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen's attitude towards this piece of Daoquan is that if you sow extensively and harvest little, success will be gratifying, but failure will be meaningless.
After Zhang Daoquan finally calmed down the nervous emotions in his heart, Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "How are the preparations at your grandmother's temple now?"
Zhang Daoquan stood up quickly and replied: "As far as I'm concerned, my lord, we are almost ready. In a few days, we will be able to move to the capital. Moreover, in addition to the more than 30 people in Nainai Temple, there are also more than 300 believers."
, willing to go to the capital with Nainai Temple for development."
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "It's a good thing to have more people. With close believers who know everything about you, it will be easier for you to establish yourself when you arrive in the capital."
At this point, Zhao Junchen frowned and said: "However, if you want to recruit more believers in Beijing, it is better to change the name of this 'Grandma Temple'. People in the capital are well-informed.
This name is too crude and I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince them.”
Zhang Daoquan nodded repeatedly and said: "What you are trying to teach me is that the common people are planning to change the name of Nainai Temple to Tongji Temple, which means that the sky is full of gods and Buddhas working together to protect the world."
"Tongji Temple, the name is not bad, at least it doesn't sound like a lie." Zhao Junchen nodded and then asked: "How will you develop when you arrive in the capital?"
Zhang Daoquan had some ideas about this. After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, he was quite excited and said repeatedly: "Sir, the common people have thought about it. Even though the Second Immortal Virgin Grandma worshiped by our Tongji Temple is in Lu'an Mansion,
Everyone in the territory knows about it, but when it comes to the capital city, not many people will know about it. Therefore, after the common people arrive in the capital city, they plan not to promote the power of the Second Immortal Virgin Mother, but to spread the "Five Religions" to the believers first.
The teachings of 'oneness', 'sharing the incense'..."
Zhang Daoquan and Lin Zongzong said a lot, and most of them were considered thoughtful, which made Zhao Junchen quite satisfied.
After listening to Zhang Daoquan's explanation, Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "You are quite thoughtful, but after all, you are not familiar with the capital environment, so it is inevitable that you will make some omissions. I can add a few more points to you."
Zhang Daoquan said quickly: "Please give me some instructions."
"I can't talk about instructions. After all, I'm not familiar with religion." Zhao Junchen waved his hand and then said: "However, the forces in the capital are complicated, and the Buddhist and Taoist families there are not like the Buddhists in Lu'an Prefecture.
The Tao family is so weak and can be bullied. Without the help of people in the government, it will be difficult to develop in the capital. Therefore, after arriving in the capital, while keeping a low profile, you will spread the doctrine to the court officials and develop people in the government to become believers.
, is the most important thing and cannot be ignored.”
Zhang Daoquan looked surprised and asked, "Isn't it enough that you support us, sir?"
Zhao Junchen looked serious and said: "This is what I want to tell you next. Now that His Majesty believes in Buddhism, I must follow suit. Because of this, although I am very optimistic about you, I will not be able to truly develop until you develop."
Before you get up, I will only help you secretly. On the surface, I will not have any connection with your Tongji Temple. Do you understand what I say?"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Zhang Daoquan was a little disappointed, but he still nodded and said: "The common people understand, after arriving in the capital, our Tongji Temple will never make things difficult for you, sir."
Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction and said: "However, even so, if there is any trouble that you are unable to solve, as a last resort, you can also go to my chief attendant Xu Qingyan and tell me through Xu Qingyan.
As much as I can, I will never let you suffer."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's assurance, Zhang Daoquan turned his worries away and said, "With your words, our Tongji Temple has nothing to worry about."
Thinking of Zhang Daoquan's nervousness after seeing him just now, Zhang Daoquan felt relieved, but Zhao Junchen was a little worried and said: "You were too nervous when you saw me just now. There are officials everywhere in the capital. Now you are
This situation is definitely not going to work. You have to get used to it quickly in the future. Otherwise, how can you develop followers in the officialdom? Learn more about Buddhism and Taoism. Even if those monks and Taoists see His Majesty today, they will be completely foreign to the world.
That's how you look like a master, so you can be convincing."
Zhang Daoquan nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The common people respect you because they know your wisdom and methods, and they are grateful for your support to them. As for other officials, after seeing you, the common people are
You would never be so rude."
………
After talking for a while, seeing that it was already getting late, Zhang Daoquan took his leave knowingly at Zhao Junchen's signal.
However, just after leaving Zhao Junchen's study, Zhang Daoquan saw Xu Qingyan Zhenghou outside the door, seemingly waiting for a long time.
"These are for you."
After seeing Zhang Daoquan, Xu Qingyan handed Zhang Daoquan a package without saying a word.
Zhang Daoquan opened the package and took a look, but was stunned.
Inside the package were two books, and on top of the books were neatly placed ten banknotes, each worth 500 taels, for a total of 5,000 taels.
Where has Zhang Daoquan seen so many banknotes? After swallowing, he asked Xu Qingyan: "Brother Xu, what does this mean?"
Xu Qingyan snorted coldly and said: "Do you think the land prices in the capital are the same as those in your Lu'an mansion? If you go to the capital like this, I'm afraid you will be begging on the streets in two days. This money is what my family means.
, so that after you go to the capital, you can have money to build a temple and stay there."
Hearing what Xu Qingyan said, Zhang Daoquan was filled with gratitude and said repeatedly: "Thank you, the Imperial Envoy, and thank you, Brother Xu."
Xu Qingyan snorted again and said: "Don't just look at Xie. Compared with the banknotes, these two books are more important. The first book is a trick my young master taught you. Take a closer look and see if it can be used."
With?"
Hearing what Xu Qingyan said, Zhang Daoquan did not dare to neglect, and quickly looked through it, only to see that most of them were methods used by magicians and witches to deceive believers. Some of them Zhang Daoquan had already known, such as fake illnesses and fake doctors, boiling oil with alum, and painting ghosts on rice porridge.
, and there are some that Zhang Daoquan has never heard of before, such as the bean sprouts carrying the statue, such as the sandalwood divine light, such as the sky full of divine sounds...
These are all deceptive tricks that Zhao Junchen had heard of in his previous life, but now he has taught them all to Zhang Daoquan.
After Zhang Daoquan read it carefully, he was filled with admiration and became more confident about his trip to the capital. He said to Xu Qingyan: "Everything is useful. With these, after arriving in the capital,
We don’t have to worry about finding believers.”
Xu Qingyan frowned and said: "What my young master means is that after you go to the capital to develop, you will mainly focus on spreading teachings. These methods are only auxiliary. You must not put the cart before the horse and lose the big for the small."
"understand."
"As for the second book, it is even more important." Xu Qingyan said softly: "It records the names and official positions of some officials in the capital. After you arrive in the capital, you must focus on developing these people into believers. Even if you cannot
Success requires developing the people around them into believers, do you understand what I say?"
"Understand it, ordinary people will do their best."
"And the most important thing, you must remember." Seeing Zhang Daoquan nodding repeatedly, Xu Qingyan's expression not only did not soften, but became more severe: "After arriving in the capital, your relationship with my family must not be known to others.
, Otherwise, in order to clear up the relationship, my master will not let you go in the first place, do you understand?"
Seeing Xu Qingyan's stern look, Zhang Daoquan replied with the most serious expression: "The Imperial Envoy has already said this just now. The common people understand very well and will never make things difficult for you."
………
When Zhao Junchen was writing the second memorial, Xu Qingyan pushed in the door and reported to Zhao Junchen: "Young Master, I gave him those things and warned him. He is a smart man. I think he knows
What to do.”
"That's good." Putting down the rabbit hair in his hand, Zhao Junchen looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Get ready and go to Fu'an Restaurant. We are having a banquet today, so we can't be late."
