When Su He walked into Hanzhong Fucheng, he did not let the officials come to greet him.
The most important thing now is to be busy with spring plowing, and the farming season cannot be delayed.
This kind of ostentation and face-saving work is completely unnecessary.
As soon as Su He walked into the palace gate, he saw a group of monks sitting in meditation.
They blocked the gate of the palace tightly, and the people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Su He frowned when he saw this scene.
"Why is this monk coming to block my house if he doesn't recite sutras properly in the temple?
It's because the Three Martial Arts and One Sect have been gone for too long, or my Su's sword is in trouble."
Su Yan led a group of patrol officers to maintain order.
Su He asked the guards to call Su Yan over and ask about the reason for this matter.
Su Yan briefly explained that there are three main reasons for this kind of thing.
The first reason is that they confiscated the temple land and distributed it all to ordinary people.
The monks in the temple broke the law and were all arrested and sentenced.
Now the funeral market cannot compete with those Taoist priests, and their livelihood has been cut off.
They want to buy some fields.
The second reason is that Wang Zhongce ordered that only those who have fulfilled the ultimatum can continue to be monks.
Without the ultimatum, they are not considered monks, and they are strongly urged to return to secular life, go home to farm, marry and have children.
These monks said that they were all serious monks and had certificates from the Ming Dynasty, which had not been delivered yet.
The third reason was that Wang Zhongce asked Su Yan to send people to take away all the golden bodies of the gods and Buddhas in the temple.
Most of the golden bodies of these gods and Buddhas are made of copper and painted with a layer of gold paint, while a few are made of pure gold.
These gods and Buddhas were melted and used to cast metal coins for the Ministry of Industry.
Only wooden or clay deities and Buddhas are left in temples.
Because of these three incidents, the monks organized a group to protest in front of the palace.
Wang Zhongce went to Xi County to deal with problems encountered in spring plowing.
Su Yan didn't know how to manage these monks, so she could only take these inspections to isolate the monks from the common people.
After hearing this, Su He understood the reason. These monks were not bad in nature.
The monks in question were arrested together with the gentry.
But only the monks came to block the door, and the Taoist priests did not respond. This shows that these monks did not respect him.
Su He immediately ordered:
"This is a simple matter. If the monks want to buy fields, they can be sold.
But you can only plant it yourself, and you are not allowed to hire others.
Monks are not exempt from tax and pay tax at the normal rate.
As for the monk's ultimatum, this requires a test.
Let these monks write the Lankavatara Sutra silently. The monks who can write it down word for word are true monks.
Send the real monk a certificate that has been verified by us.
If they can't write it in a month, they must be disrespectful to the Buddha, so they should just return to secular life.
The monk who took the lead in making trouble was imprisoned for seven days.
Monks are not given preferential treatment. They should pay taxes and be punished for breaking the law. They cannot be treated differently from ordinary people.
Overtly or covertly, give them privileges.
This will encourage unhealthy trends."
After Su Yan heard Su He's order, she immediately led a patrol and took all the monks away.
Su He sent someone again to find out why the Taoist priest didn't respond this time.
He looked at the information sent by Su Changsheng.
Taoist priest Ma Qiankun led a group of Taoist priests and entered the funeral market with the convenience of being the host of the Pavilion of Heroes.
Now in Hanzhong Fucheng, when someone dies in their family, people find ways to do something about it.
Su He left behind this liar Taoist priest Ma Qiankun, hoping that he would reform Taoism and establish a Taoist sect that would meet his requirements.
If you don’t occupy this field of faith, it will be occupied by others.
The escapism of Taoist priests and the reincarnation of Buddhism are not suitable for the development of industrial civilization.
New beliefs must be hatched, and we cannot wait until contact with the West and allow the invasion of Christianity.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Ma Qiankun ignored Su He's hint and missed this opportunity.
Su He could only look for other Taoist talents.
…
Outside the Yamen of Dali Temple, Wu Donglin was sentencing the defeated Ming generals.
In this battle with the Ming Dynasty, most of the generals surrendered.
These people will not be sentenced.
All capable people are recruited into the army.
People who are incompetent will also be given a sinecure.
Only die-hard elements of the Ming Dynasty, or those who committed serious crimes, have become notorious.
Only such people will be directly sentenced to serve as a warning to other generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Donglin quickly pronounced the verdict: "Zhao Mingsheng and his soldiers have committed extremely heinous crimes and are sentenced to death by firing squad immediately."
Zhao Mingsheng and his soldiers were tied to the execution platform by the soldiers.
Li Qingmu held a flintlock gun and was waiting for execution.
His eyes were red and veins were visible on his face, and he said in a heavy voice: "Zhao Mingsheng, you didn't expect that today, I would kill you with my own hands.
To avenge my wife and parents."
"who?"
Zhao Mingsheng looked at the man in front of him, and he had no impression at all.
Li Qingmu felt even more angry when he saw that Zhao Mingsheng didn't even know who he was.
This shows that Zhao Mingsheng allowed his men to kill his entire family.
In Zhao Mingsheng's mind, this was a trivial matter, not worth remembering.
Li Qingmu angrily pulled the trigger, killing Zhao Mingsheng with a bullet.
He took the loaded flintlock rifle from the guard.
He pulled the trigger continuously and shot all the servants who were sentenced to death one by one.
Li Qingmu completely vented the hatred in his heart.
He couldn't help but lie down with tears in his eyes, looked up to the sky and roared: "Yun Niang, parents, I have avenged you."
Li Qingmu wiped away his tears. He felt that after taking revenge, all the knots in his heart had been resolved.
I will spend the rest of my life repaying Su He's kindness.
Live a happier life, and let his parents and Yun Niang see him in the sky and be even happier.
Li Qingmu walked over and thanked Wu Donglin, the minister of Dali Temple.
This time he returned to Hanzhong City to report on his duties and found out that his enemy Zhao Mingsheng and his soldiers had been captured by the army.
After Li Qingmu asked Su He for instructions, he became an executioner and personally sent Zhao Mingsheng and others on their way.
…
Li Qingmu walked into Wuying Hall holding a large package of questionnaires wrapped in silk.
He saw Su He and Li Fengming sorting out the statistics of the questionnaire.
There are thirty-four clerks here, counting the contents of the questionnaire.
"Commander Su, I brought the questionnaire from the Naval Brigade."
Li Qingmu put the questionnaire on the table.
"Li Qingmu is here, all that's left is the questionnaire for your naval brigade.
You already control Jiangyin County in Xing'an Prefecture, which is farthest from Hanzhong City."
Su He encouraged: "Li Qingmu, you have done a good job. The Ming army took the initiative to provoke us, so we must teach them a lesson.
Taking Hanyin County will ensure the safety of the Han River."
Su He asked Li Fengming to take the small officials to calculate the results as soon as possible.
He never forgot a word.
"No investigation, no right to speak."
When he defeated the Ming Dynasty army in Baoji County, he thought about military rewards.
After the title system was established, many grassroots officers reported this.
The starting point is Marquis, which is really too high-end.
They work hard all their lives, but they still can't become a marquis.
Su He knew that after all, there were only a few grassroots officers who dared to report it to their superiors.
Most of them were silent, but when someone gave feedback, Su He also took this matter very seriously.
At the end of the war, he asked the General Staff to distribute a batch of questionnaires.
These questionnaires only record which battalion the investigator belongs to, not his specific name.
Strive to achieve the most realistic survey results.
The content of the questionnaire is to ask questions. After the officer explains, the soldiers mark "" or "?" on the questionnaire.
The main content questions of the questionnaire are the title system, reward and punishment system, merit evaluation, and welfare benefits.
These are issues closely related to every soldier.
