Zhang Daochang stood on the "main hall" of "Yunshengguan" - the "main hall" is actually just a three-bay tile-roofed house. However, in this rural area of Shandong, it can be regarded as a very neat and regular house - overlooking the yard.
He looked at all the living beings at him devoutly, with a smile on his lips.
There are only statues of the Three Pure Ones in the main hall. According to the New Taoist philosophy, there are "no idols". However, Zhang Yingchen considered that it is not appropriate to be too unique and shocking at the moment and attract the attention of local gentry and officials, so he still regarded the traditional Celestial Master as
It is better for the Tao image to appear.
Yunshengguan itself is very small, and has been expanded a lot due to the strong support of the banker. In addition to the banker's "donation" of some land, most of the land was bought by Zhang Yingchen himself. Although it is easier to buy land in lean years, the banker also contributed a lot during this period -
Zhang Yingchen deeply felt that the support of the local gentry was so important when he wanted to carry out activities in the Ming Dynasty.
Because of the uneven ground, several Taoist monks in the Taoist temple suggested that Zhang Yingchen should quickly turn the Taoist temple into a "cottage". Natural disasters are frequent in southern Shandong, and there are refugees and bandits everywhere. Larger villages and villages are rushing to build village walls.
, Lian Xiangyong. Although Yunshengguan is only four or five miles away from Dadianzhuang, it is still alone in the wild. It was originally a shabby courtyard that no one wanted, but now hundreds of families of refugees have gathered, and it has become a new Taoist church.
, has become an attractive target.
Zhang Yingchen felt that the dealer's bosses were right. Anyway, he now had a lot of manpower. In addition to a large number of believers, he also had enough food on hand to recruit a large number of refugees who were willing to work hard in exchange for food. He immediately
Start building the earthen fence.
Money is also indispensable, although he declined the banker's donation and exempted the believers from the "incense and ritual silver". After the Nanwuliang sect collapsed in the local area, all the religious properties under his name except for floating wealth and part of the real estate were occupied by Ma Weisan
, most of the real estate fell into the hands of the Taoist priest. He sold part of the real estate to the banker and received hundreds of taels of silver and hundreds of shi of grain.
He didn't even bother with building materials: in famine years, there were many abandoned villages, so Zhang Yingchen mobilized refugees to demolish houses, bricks, stones, wood, and even adobe bricks, and transported them all back, and soon they were in Yunshengguan
A wall with a circumference of 500 meters was built around it, and a trench was dug outside the wall. Turrets were built around it, making it look like an earthen village.
In order to firmly grasp the word "charity" as a sign, Zhang Yingchen set up the charity hall "Tzu Chi Hall" organized by the banker in the Taoist temple. This not only ensured a close relationship with the banker, but also diluted the color of his own Taoist sect.
.
The Tzu Chi Hall is now located in the left and right wing rooms of the main hall. Zhang Yingchen doesn't care about the organization and personnel of the charity hall: after all, it is the banker who provides the money, food and connections, and he is only interested in the refugees.
The refugees all live outside Yunshengguan, within the earthen fence. According to Zhang Yingchen's design drawings, the villagers built rows of refugee camp-style long houses with adobe bricks and straw. They are specially used to accommodate refugees. The people responsible for caring for the refugees are
He is a disciple of Zhang Yingchen.
Zhang Yingchen had extremely strict control over his believers and did not allow them to preach to refugees. He only preached to his followers the doctrine that visiting the poor and relieving the suffering was a "great merit" and "the immortal saints on the sea save people", so as not to arouse the suspicion of both the Ming Dynasty and the Senate.
Of course, many of his followers themselves became refugees, lacking food and clothing. Zhang Yingchen also distributed relief rations and quilts through the group leaders to help them survive the winter, but did not take them in or send them out. These former countless followers
He can't guarantee its reliability yet. If something goes wrong when it's transported to Jeju or Taiwan, it will be seriously detrimental to him and his new Taoism.
Zhang Yingchen walked down the steps slowly - the morning medical consultation was over - and he continues to visit Yunsheng for half a day every day. Because the medicine is so effective and he does not take any money from the poor, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Gather.
The refugees, believers and staff in the courtyard all made way for them. Zhang Yingchen had a compassionate smile on his face. From time to time he would bow his head in return, and sometimes he would say a few words to people.
When some believers saw him coming, they knelt down one after another. Some shouted his name wildly, and some rushed forward and tried to touch his clothes. The scene was a bit chaotic for a time. Zhang Yingchen knew that some believers even tried to bribe someone to serve him personally.
A Taoist boy tried to get some of his face wash water or old clothes to use as medicine. He had to denounce this approach at the doctrinal study meeting of each group leader and denounced it as a "demon".
Surrounded by several close associates such as Ming and Qing Dynasties, he finally left the main courtyard and walked to the backyard: there are three entrances in the backyard. It is the office of the New Taoism and where he stayed and worked. It is also the nerve center of the Senate in southern Shandong.
.
Taoist Master Dioquanzi has accomplished several things here that he has always wanted to do but has not been able to do. One of them is that he finally gathered enough people to open a Taoist training class. In the past, he was constantly being criticized in order to obtain a few Taoist places.
The ostracized and despised Taoist Master finally felt proud this time: with enough popularity and a large refugee population, he finally selected fifty handsome young men and women as Taoists according to his own aesthetic taste and selection criteria.
Rows of houses were built along the fence in the backyard: they were dormitories and classrooms for Taoist students. It was noon, because the cafeteria had not been built yet, so Taoist students were scattered in twos and threes in the courtyard, squatting and standing with bowls in their hands to eat.
The meals are very simple, even difficult: relief rations and dried vegetables cooked into a paste, but for the Daoshengs, it is the ultimate delicacy. They all drink and drink to the right taste. Each Daosheng wears homespun cloth purchased locally.
, the short tao uniforms made by the female relatives were mostly disassembled, washed and refitted from old clothes - they did not show too many Lingao characteristics.
Zhang Yingchen did not approach the Taoists for fear of attracting "onlookers" from them. Recently, he found that the "personality cult" in him became more and more intense, and he was deeply worried about this.
For this group of Taoist students, he used his first disciples Ming and Qing as teachers. He first taught them basic reading, writing and calculation skills, and then taught them the doctrine. The so-called teaching doctrine means reciting the pamphlet he personally compiled:
"Introduction to Taoism", "Taoism Questions and Answers" and "Collection of Essential Sutras". His time was limited, so he mainly focused on memorization and spent one class time every day to explain and instill. However, no one taught the most important music course: Pirates of the Spring
Although I have a lot of research on Taoist music, my musical instrument and singing skills are both at a very low level.
"This batch of fine jade cannot be left here. The environment is too dangerous. It would be a pity if it were wasted." He looked at the Daoshengs who were active in the yard for a long time and felt a little crazy.
"Taoist Master..." Ming Qing reminded in a low voice.
"Hmm?! Oh." Zhang Yingchen came back to his senses, coughed, and continued walking along the corridor to the courtyard where he was staying.
Several newly built tile-roofed houses were built in the courtyard for his personal and daily living use and those of a few close disciples. Zhang Yingchen’s medicine was also here on weekdays. However, as the powerful freight roads gradually became familiar, the Chinese patent medicines shipped from Hong Kong gradually
With more, the pressure on his personal medicine will be much less.
When he returned to his residence, Luo Chun brought a bowl of tea, and he drank half of the bowl in one breath. The house was tidy and elegant. It looked like it had been carefully cleaned. He felt very satisfied: there is no difference between having a woman and not having a woman.
the same.
Luo Saichun—Zhang Yingchen thought her name was too quack-like, so he changed the word Sai, and now she calls her Luo Chun—standing by silently. Since Luo Chun was subdued by his "magic power" at the "Dharma Assembly", she has completely
She is completely devoted to the Taoist priest. Zhang Yingchen understands the psychology of these women very well. Once their psychological support, world view, outlook on life, and moral values are destroyed, they will be completely overthrown and start over again, and their personality will be easily reshaped. And he, Zhang Yingchen, is in
After all, I have read a lot of psychological and practical books on this. After a period of careful training, the results have been remarkable. Although Zhang Yingchen is not 100% confident in her, he has at least 80% trust.
When the matter was over, he sent her back to Lingao for "purification" and "re-education." The Taoist priest thought that she would be a qualified professional religious person of the new Taoism.
Luo Chun held his breath and stood beside the "real man", waiting for his instructions at any time. Now that he has changed his family, he is in awe and almost worships this "real man" with boundless power. On weekdays, he only dares to think of himself as a maidservant and pays careful attention to
Serve the "real person" in daily life. In order to gain the real person's mercy, she performs rituals and chants sutras for Hu Qi'er, and saves her soul to the "fairy mountain and divine realm on the other side of the sea". Although Hu Qi'er has no blood relationship with her, she
I have no other relatives in the world, my only disciples are my closest relatives.
Zhang Yingchen used both kindness and power to win over Luo Chun as much as possible: Luo Chun had been the saint of the Inner Law Hall of Nanwuliang Sect for a long time and knew very well about the affairs of the sect. He wanted to launch a larger-scale operation in southern Lunan to compete for territory from the local sect.
Luo Chun is his guide.
He did not trust Ma Weisan - although Ma Weisan responded to his requests, he controlled a large amount of religious property and kept a distance from him, which made him very unhappy. When a group leader meeting was held, Ma Weisan either did not come with excuses, or
I sent a deputy team leader over to top up the numbers, obviously wary of him.
"Anyway, it's easy to get rid of you!" Zhang Yingchen thought to himself. As long as he told Xiaoye, there would be no such person as Ma Weisan tomorrow night. However, he still couldn't make up his mind: Although this senior management is very unpopular, but now
Most of the team leaders and deputy team leaders have worked with Ma Weisan for a long time, and killing him rashly would make them feel like a rabbit has died and a fox has died.
"Luo Chun, what do you think of Team Leader Ma?" Zhang Yingchen put down his tea bowl and asked slowly.
"Reporting to the Master: Ma Weisan's faith is weak, and he has talent but no virtue."
Although she was born as a prostitute, she has been among the top leaders of the sect for many years, and her appearance is not vulgar. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
