Chapter 4165: Conquer the country and conquer the world
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "Our religious religion preaches five buckets of rice to help each other, and the same applies to the world. We can allocate land to believers so that they can support themselves. As for taxes, even if you join the religion, you have to pay five buckets of rice and incense money.
, in order to supply those brothers and masters who do not cultivate the land, but protect and manage them, why not pay a certain amount of output? Even these lands were taken down by the divine religion and given to them, so there is no need to pay taxes.
Should it? "
"Even if we don't talk about paying taxes, how about changing the name, changing the soup without changing the medicine, such as mutual aid, sincerity rice, etc., wouldn't it be enough? This country was won by the divine religion for them, and the fields were also allocated by the divine religion.
Theirs, if they can repay something, why can’t they do it? Our religious sect does not have that many descendants, and the children of aristocratic families need to be supported. When the time comes, we should control the number of ministerial positions in the sect, not too many, otherwise it will be over? "
Xu Daofu shook his head: "Second brother, do you really think that our religious sect can not pass on to descendants, and that everything will stop after becoming a monk?"
Lu Xun's expression changed slightly and he did not immediately respond to this sentence.
Xu Daofu said sternly: "In our divine sect, starting from Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, the descendants of the Zhang family have held the position of leader for generations. Later, after the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the position of leader was transferred to the Sun family, and it has been controlled by the Sun family for decades.
, until Sun En failed to raise his army and was replaced by us."
"As for my second brother, your whole family has joined the cult. Your father and several nephews all hold important positions in the cult. And from me down, most of the senior disciples in the cult have joined the cult with their whole families. It can be said that it is not true.
To be polite, our divine sect is just a high-ranking family wearing Taoist robes. If we really seize the world without giving up power, we will definitely become the new Wang family and the Xie family."
Lu Xun sighed: "This is because the teachings of our religious sect emphasize that if one person practices Taoism, the whole family will be blessed. This has been the case since our ancestors. Although we have established Taoist temples and have a large number of disciples, we have not competed with powerful families.
The extent of the territory is too large to be able to benefit only one cultivator to the lower-level believers. Therefore, only by relying on this method of mutual help from the whole family, can we recruit a wide range of believers at the lower level, and then through the interest relationship with the high-ranking families, we can exempt them from exemption.
When some sharecroppers, tax collectors, etc. encounter people who are really unkind, they can only establish private favors among the people by subsidizing these people with their own money."
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "It is a favor to exempt them from taxes and taxes, but if they are asked to pay taxes and taxes, it is hatred. We have been in Guangzhou these years, are those people paying taxes willingly? Alien barbarians
They relied on the coercion of tribal chiefs to collect, and the Han people also relied on clan village elders for management. The reason why they were obedient was not because they believed in our teachings, but because they were frightened by the Beijing view outside Guangzhou.
, know what the result of confronting us will be."
Lu Xun sneered and said: "In this case, we can continue to establish our authority after gaining power. Why do we have to win people's hearts? Making people afraid is also a way of buying people's hearts. It just needs to be controlled to a certain extent. "
Xu Daofu curled up his lips: "Then, since we used Han elders and barbarian chiefs to govern on our behalf when we were in Guangzhou, why can't we do this when we conquer the world in the future? When we were in Guangzhou,
Those worldly leaders oppress the people, but when our senior brothers go to the tribes to promote Dharma, they distribute rice grains and promote the kindness of the heavenly masters. Isn’t this how to make people obey? This time we went north, there were more than 30,000 barbarians
The able-bodied men took the initiative to follow us. If we were to directly manage it ourselves, how could they be so active?"
Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "That's because they were originally hereditary administrators. We don't regard Guangzhou as a long-term foundation, and we don't want to take away their management rights. But if we truly take over the world and establish a dynasty, that is
Another thing is, how can we allow these forces that are not our own to control the grassroots and directly manage the people? Back then, we relied on this kind of space of agency and governance to control the people. How can we let people follow our old path?"
Xu Daofu nodded: "So, we might as well give up the secular power and continue to let these powerful families and landlords manage the people, and let them do evil things like tax collection and things that offend people.
Come on, let’s continue to act like we did before and give favors to others, okay?”
Lu Xun frowned: "Giving up the management power of the world means giving the sword to others, like Sima Yuanxian did to Sun Tai and destroying our divine religion, you
How to solve it? "
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "Giving up the management rights of the world does not mean disbanding the arms of our divine religion and letting others slaughter it! Ah, we can make an agreement with the rulers who will succeed us in the future, and they will do things like levy and tax.
However, we are responsible for the establishment and management of the army. All military supplies are provided by them after collecting taxes. The training, organization, and daily management of the army are controlled by us, so as to serve the heaven.
Wouldn’t it be enough to do it in the name of coins and let the people perform military training and practice in order to become a god?”
Lu Xun was slightly stunned: "Can we still do this? But if the army is not in hand, what ruler would be willing?"
A cold light flashed in Xu Daofu's eyes: "If the world was conquered by rulers like them, they would naturally not be willing to do so, but if our divine religion conquered the world, they would not be able to bargain. There will always be people who are willing to cooperate in this way.
.”
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "Also, you said that the army is in our hands and we will manage it, but if there is a war, people will die. You are saying that Liu Yu is resorting to militarism and letting other people's children go into battle.
Bloodshed and sacrifice, how can we win the trust of others when we ourselves have to do this kind of thing?"
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "When the time comes to improve the treatment of the army, the people will have to pay taxes, but the soldiers will not have to pay. They can even be given high subsidies so that they can become rich after becoming soldiers. It will be like the union between heaven and man.
There are benefits such as being able to live in the field after retiring from the army. If you start doing more, everyone will want to join the army and protect education. Isn’t this the end? Even if the country is at war, we should not be responsible for commanding the war, and leave these matters to the court.
The generals will do it, and the responsibility for such deaths and injuries does not lie with our religious sect. In a word, if we benefit others, do not do sinful things, and control the army to protect ourselves, then there is nothing to worry about.
?「
Lu Xun looked at Xu Daofu motionless for a long time before sighing: "Daofu, are these thoughts your own, or were they taught to you by Doupeng or Black Robe? I want to hear the truth.
