Of course Zou Yu knew that they were complimenting him. After all, although the cooking was delicious, it was not so exaggerated. Of course, this was also because the cooking skills were not yet mature.

"If you like it, why don't you serve in the imperial court? I will arrange for the cook in the mansion to come to your home, so that you can have stir-fried dishes every day!" Zou Yu said tentatively.

"Forgive me, Prime Minister, I am a poor Taoist who only knows the art of watching the wind and water. He knows nothing about government affairs, so staying here will not help him much! But Chunfeng is proficient in magic and can stay." Yuan Tiangang said with a bitter smile.

When Yuan Tiangang was young, he also served as an official and served as a county magistrate, but in the end he found that being an official was not something he liked at all. Therefore, he gave up the idea of ​​becoming an official.

"I only know Taoist classics and have lived in Taoist temples for most of my life. This official... really doesn't know what to do!" Zhiyuan explained with a wry smile.

"You two, don't be too busy to refuse. Listen to me first. How about being an official?" Zou Yu waved his hand.

"Please tell me, Prime Minister!"

"Daozhang Yuan, the imperial court is planning to build reservoirs in various places and dig wells for the people. This should require your ability to find wind and water. Not only that, it is also needed for marching and fighting, so you can also join the military department. When you are not busy, you can also join the military department.

It will delay your Taoism. What do you think?" Zou Yu introduced.

"This... Prime Minister, please allow me to think about it for a moment." Yuan Tiangang said with a wry smile.

To be honest, after listening to Zou Yu's words, he was already moved. There are appointments in government affairs and military affairs. This is obviously reuse, and the people are in the same profession. It can be said that interest and work are not delayed.

Zou Yu did not let him decide immediately. He smiled sideways and said to Zhiyuan: "Master Zhiyuan, I have always admired Taoism's idea of ​​helping the world, and Taoism emphasizes governing by doing nothing and not participating in government affairs? This is the most important point.

Good thing.

But in the Central Plains, there are not only Buddhists, but also some small cults in various places? Fooling the people? Therefore, I want to use the power of Taoism to give the people spiritual sustenance; and secondly, to bring order to the chaos and suppress the cults.

The most important thing is that Taoism should promote some ideas that are beneficial to the court and help rule the barbarians."

"It is my duty to be a poor man!" After hearing Zou Yu's explanation, Zhiyuan immediately stood up without saying a word and saluted solemnly.

Zou Yu's support is the support of the imperial court. Although it does not say that Taoism is listed as a state religion, it undoubtedly shows strong support? And it is clearly supporting them to suppress other sects. This opportunity to strengthen Taoism, as a true Taoist

Man, how could Taoist Zhiyuan let go of the opportunity?

"Pindao will also call on his colleagues to give full support!" Yuan Tiangang also said slightly excitedly.

Yuan Tiangang originally just wanted to ask for a book. He did not expect such an unexpected gain.

Yuan Tiangang was originally practicing Taoism in Shu, and Li Yuan sent people to occupy Shu? Li Xiaogong heard about Yuan Tiangang's reputation and told Li Yuan.

Li Yuan wanted to add an identity to his family, so he asked Yuan Tiangang to do it. How to turn me, Li Er, into the ancestor of his family?

It happens that Taoist Zhiyuan is in Youzhou? Overheard the spread of Fengshen Yanyi? Do you think this is an opportunity? Invite Yuan Tiangang to come with you. As for Li Chunfeng, he is the apprentice of Taoist Zhiyuan. This is why the three of them appeared in Shanxi

Because of Yang.

With Zou Yu's support, there is no need to care about Li Yuan's small favors. After all, if you help Li Yuan, it will definitely be good for Taoism if he becomes emperor. This kind of benefit will only increase the reputation of Taoism. And other sects

To compete, you still have to make your own efforts.

Think about those Taoists who like to practice Taoism in the mountains. How can they compete simply by relying on them? But it is different here in Zou Yu. Not only do they need a large number of Taoist priests, but they also cooperate in promoting the doctrine.

Yuan Tiangang and the Supreme Elder looked at each other, and Yuan Tiangang asked, "May I ask, Prime Minister, what is a cult?"

“Those who deceive the common people and do not engage in production, collect large amounts of donations, and even sacrifice human lives; those who harbor filth, commit crimes, and seize land; those who hide people, occupy mountains and become kings, falsely become monks, and evade taxes.

The above people are all cults. As practitioners, if you don’t even understand your own scriptures, what kind of practice is that? The three of you said this is not the truth." Zou Yu said seriously, at the end, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

!

Zou Yu deeply hates this kind of fake cultivator who ruins the good wishes of the people. Especially in the later generations, who are obviously cultivators and live like gods, but they are completely parasites lying on the people! Death is not a pity!

After hearing Zou Yu's words, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but be shocked. Zou Yu was talking about people! Not a certain sect, which obviously included Taoism.

But if you think about it carefully, Zou Yu's words make sense. It's okay not to want this kind of person. Kick him out of the team to avoid tarnishing your reputation.

"After I return, I will immediately remind fellow Taoists that those who should be rectified should also be rectified." Yuan Tiangang thought in his mind.

"The Prime Minister's words are so inspiring that they can enlighten the poor as if they were enlightened. This is what practitioners should do." Yuan Tiangang said solemnly.

"This matter is not urgent. You two can slowly gather people and revise the classics. At that time, we will use the northern land as the basis to rectify the practice world. I will let the army cooperate. When the time comes, I will hold a sword in one hand and a scripture in the other!

Conquer the four directions! Let the barbarians from all directions submit to the king's law!" Zou Yu said with a focused look.

Today, when he talked about Taoism and the thoughts of practitioners, he thought of that great man of later generations! It made him wake up, and the army should also carry out ideological education!

A great man once said that an army with lofty ideals is an invincible army! An army with a soul is an army that cannot be broken up or crushed.

It’s just that how to instill ideas requires some sorting out of ideas.

"This matter is the most important thing. We must start immediately." Zou Yu reminded himself in his heart.

"The prince is ambitious and a poor man is willing to serve as his wing!" Yuan Tiangang saluted cautiously.

"Okay! Okay! Haha! Let us start from the Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula and conquer them both physically and mentally!" Zou Yu laughed heartily.

"I'll see you, Prime Minister!" Yuan Tiangang was also a decisive person. He made up his mind and immediately saluted with his hands.

"I'll see you, Prime Minister!" Zhiyuan and Li Chunfeng looked at each other, then bowed their hands and saluted, expressing their allegiance.

"Haha, three of you are exempt from the gift!" Zou Yu was very happy and helped the three of them up with a smile.

"The imperial court is short of manpower, so I would like to ask you to take charge of the Yubu Department. I will ask you to take over the position of doctor of the Yubu Department temporarily. For Taoist Priest Yuan, I will leave the position of the doctor of the Sacrifice Department to you. If you don't understand,

You can ask others for advice, and I will ask all departments to cooperate as much as possible." Zou Yu thought for a moment and said.
