Ancient view, quiet room, five people, drinking tea.

The tea is the alienated ice leaf from the Kunlun Mountains. It is cool, sweet, and refreshing. It is the best way to remove fire, reduce dryness, and refresh the mind. Gu Yu held the cup, took a sip, and suddenly said: "I heard that Daochang Mo came to Beijing. Have you taken office?"

"Yes, senior brother is appointed as the president of the Taoist Association and cooperates with the official management of temple affairs across the country." Lu Yuanqing said.

"They say there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. What measures can Master Mo take?"

"There are some measures, and we are discussing them with relevant people, but they have not been finalized yet."

Lu Yuanqing seemed to like this kind of ice leaf very much. He quickly drank a cup of tea and said: "In the past, there were 2,500 Taoist temples in the Xia Kingdom, and about 50,000 people in Qian and Kun Dao. After the Taoist sect was cleansed, 1,100 Taoist temples were banned, and 30,000 people were removed from the list. , there are now more than 20,000. Senior Brother Mo’s first idea was to rebuild the temple."

"Oh? Why re-legislate?" Xiao Zhai asked.

"Back then, the government invited the sect leaders of various sects to compile a "General Book of All Zhen Sects" at Baiyunguan in the capital, which included sixty-two sects. Now that a hundred years have passed, some have lost their inheritance and some have emerged, so Senior Brother Mo plans to Revision summary.

For example, Li Suchun's sect is an independent branch of Xia Maoshan. If he accepts certification from the association, he will be qualified to establish a sect and pass down the Taoism."

Hiss!

What he said was calm and gentle, while Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai listened to the undercurrent.

Since Zhang Daoling established the Five Dou Rice Sect in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been more than a thousand sects and branches. It was only after the Song Dynasty that Quanzhen, Zhengyi, divided the north and the south and brought most of the sects together.

Now, as various exercises are constantly being discovered by the people, those names that have been lost in history are also emerging. Just like Bai Xinwen's "Gen Shit Method", it is said to be a sect, but if he takes the initiative to surrender, he will change his face and become a sect. It is not impossible to achieve enlightenment.

Those who accept certification are tantamount to moving closer to associations and officials and obtaining legal qualifications. Those who do not accept certification are directly classified as illegal organizations, and they will be killed or buried with a reputation.

The foundation of the government is still there, with the Taoist Yuan's unequivocal support, and Phoenix Mountain has not changed. Both mountains are doing their jobs, which is very helpful for the government to win over civil forces.

"Once you accept the certification, you can put forward your own wishes, and the association will study and allocate the city and land. In addition, each temple has a maximum number of people. If it exceeds the limit, you can apply to set up a branch temple elsewhere."

"If you make it clear that chariots and horses are expanding their power, will the authorities agree?" Gu Yu asked.

"The official will not disagree. We only practice Taoism to benefit the people. We can also help with first aid for disasters in the city, beasts swarming outside the city, possession by evil spirits, evil spirits, and even serious injuries to the people..."

"These things can be done by the talents trained by the government, why should we use you?" Xiao Zhai said.

"The lay people know it well, so there is no need to joke. They have strong capital and a huge base, and they will be ahead of the curve in everything they do. But cultivating is not something else. If cultivating can be institutionalized and mass-produced, I dare you to ask for it. Is it the Tao or the official?"

Lu Yuanqing no longer pretended to be confused, just like how he fooled Gu Yu in Tianzhu Mountain, and continued: "Our first batch of disciples recruited more than 500 people, leaving 108. Now we are recruiting the second batch, and those who have initially qualified There are already 1,200 people.

Those who have been eliminated before will either be recruited by the Special Bureau or continue to stay in the palace. These people have a solid foundation and good character, and will become the pillars of the future and are scattered throughout the country."

He took out another scroll and raised it casually. The scroll spread out to face the storm, and finally spread out into a huge map of Xia Kingdom.

"The four provinces outside the pass: Heishui has five middle cities with a population of 10 million. Ula Province has one big city with seven middle cities and a population of 20 million. Chihe has five middle cities with a population of 10 million. These three places

The grain-producing land has been lost, but in exchange for vast mountains, forests, snowfields, and rare treasures with cold attributes, no one will really give up.

The area of ​​Xiaoxiang has shrunk, and the population has dropped significantly, but in exchange for a piece of Yunmeng Xiaoze. The construction of Jibei, Northwest, Central Plains and Southeast urban agglomerations has come to an end, and the population is highly concentrated... There are also seventeen more including Huozhou and Nanjiang.

Large and small restricted areas..."

He was simple and clear, summarizing the current environment of Xia Kingdom in one sentence, and finally said: "Practice has entered the hearts of people, and Taoist temples are no longer a place for monks to stay, but a kind of peace of mind and thoughts.

With this move, hundreds of new palaces and temples will be erected, two in the big city, one in the middle city, and one in the adjacent small city. In those dangerous places, we are also preparing to erect temples in the future for the development of resources. When there are enough people, we can build more temples.

Distributed everywhere..."

Lu Yuanqing paused and said word by word: "One city, one view, one view, one innate!"

Hiss, what a big wild (niu) heart (bi)!

Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai looked at each other and thought to themselves at the same time.

"When I was promoted to Immortal, others thought the relationship had faded. But who knew that the relationship between the Taoist Academy and the government was even closer because they shared common interests.

If we help them develop resources, stabilize people's hearts, and promote religious practice throughout the country, the government must take advantage of the situation and not go against the trend. What's more, the jurisdiction of the temple lies with the local Taoist Association, and the Taoist Association belongs to the official. Even if they have differences, they will eventually

Understand, this is the best option at the moment."

Lu Yuanqing suddenly stood up, faced the two of them upright, and asked: "I am not very talented, and I have said some nonsense. Now I dare to ask these two laymen, what are your plans for the future?"

The brilliance in his eyes flowed, and a stream of fresh air spurted out, wrapping around his body, and instantly climbed to the top.

What a strong momentum!

Gu Yu was greatly surprised. This man's determination was so determined that he should never underestimate it.

Immediately, he flicked his long sleeves, and Lu Yuanqing's empty tea cup immediately overflowed with boiling water, and the fragrance of tea floated away. He stretched out his hand again and said with a smile: "Please, please tea!"

"..."

Lu Yuanqing looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip.

"We admire your great ambitions. Since you are open and honest, I will also be open to you."

Gu Yu held Xiao Zhai's hand and said: "My lifelong wishes are: first, to seek the great road; second, I wish to be married to gods and immortals; third, I wish to practice in a prosperous world."

"Oh? What is a prosperous age?" Lu Yuanqing paused and became somewhat interested.

"The heaven and earth are infinite, the soul is immortal, all things rotate, and the soul has something to rely on. Hundreds of schools of thought contend, and thousands of Taoisms exist. Although everyone may not become Taoist, everyone has the opportunity to seek Taoism. This is a prosperous age!"

"..."

Lu Yuanqing was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

They had many contacts before, but due to the constraints of the situation, many words were not allowed to be said. Now they can, and they have a real talk for the first time.

The purpose is only one, whether there is any conflict between the two parties. And from this point of view, there is bound to be fighting and friction in the handling of certain details.

After saying this, Lu Yuanqing didn't waste any more words. He cupped his hands and used his unique escape method to go away.

Xiaozhai was very bored when he heard this, and just said: "This person is too forbearing, and he only showed a little bit of it until today. It's boring."

"The environment is different. Putting me in a Taoist temple may not necessarily do better than him."

Gu Yu always understood and appreciated Lu Yuanqing. After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I saw Xiao Qiu when I came here. This girl has been having a lot of fun recently."

"How to say?" Xiaozhai still didn't know.

"I guess she wants to understand her true nature and let herself go. Hey, I'm really interested. What can this girl do?" Gu Yu's face was full of curiosity.
