To Yunchu and his gang, the artillery is just a piece of fishing bait. After it is thrown out, no matter who bites the bait, it will be harvested by the fisherman Li Zhi in the end.
What Yun Chu wants is time, time when he can still talk his talk. He wants to do as much as possible at this stage that he can and wants to do.
After all, human life is limited. Being able to do what you want to do in your limited life and then die without regrets is the most wonderful way for any person in power with lofty ideals to die.
Victory was right in front of him, and Yun Chu didn't want to give up halfway.
After getting up in the morning, Yun Chu looked at me and the pigeons flying around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, feeling somewhat lonely.
Although old friends who used to get along day and night now live in Luoyang, a city not far away, they seem to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. At this moment, they can't even write more letters.
Once a force becomes huge, it must be divided, otherwise, like the monopolies of later generations, it will definitely be prosecuted by the state. Not only Yun Chu understands this, Wen Wen, but also Di Renjie, but they understand
The way of doing this kind of thing is different from that of Yunchu. There are many such examples in history books that we can learn from.
For officials and people of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was a huge dyeing vat. As long as they came to Chang'an, they would be enveloped in the various atmospheres and cultures of Chang'an. Eventually, after being pickled in the pickle vat of Chang'an, they would become
The flavor of Chang'an.
It’s hard to say how authentic the flavor of Chang’an is. This is a city that allows diversity to exist, a city that allows good people, bad people, honest and corrupt officials to coexist.
However, their methods of doing things will undergo earth-shaking changes, and they will even become people who put profits first. In Chang'an, they can do anything that is conducive to economic development and improving people's living standards.
It is only because interests are paramount that people will rack their brains to figure out new ways forward for their own sake.
Sustainable development is important.
Yunluan appeared in front of his father energetically, and after saluting, he was ready to go to the second workshop to study his microscope.
"Are there many people going to the Second Workshop these days?"
Yun Luan said: "Five days ago, Taiping took that waist badge with Prince Yong to see the artillery. Three days ago, the Wu brothers took that waist badge to see the artillery. Yesterday, people from Luoyang came
Several North Gate bachelors also went to see the artillery, and it is estimated that more people will enter the second workshop to see the artillery today."
Yun Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't there anyone who goes to see telescopes, microscopes, muskets, and those steam coupling devices?"
Yun Luan smiled and said: "Those people only look at artillery and have no interest in anything else."
Yunchu sighed and said, "Look, how ridiculous these people are. They are clearly in the treasure mountain but they only see the crudest rocks and little birds. Do they even turn a blind eye to an airship that can fly into the sky?"
Yun Luan said: "On the day King Yong went there, the airship workshop specially flew an airship. Taiping was curious, but King Yong said it was just a Kongming Lantern in Jinchangfang, nothing special."
Yun Chu said: "Every year when the wind blows from Liaodong, it only takes six days to get from Liaodong to Chang'an. Every year when the west wind blows, it only takes four days to get from the plateau to Chang'an. The same is true when the north wind blows and the south wind blows. This is still
The use of airships in the natural wind period. Once the airships have power, the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be an obstacle to our rule. The vast territory will only become our wealth.
Everything in the second workshop is of extremely important significance to the development of the Tang Dynasty... Alas, these people who think they are smart..."
Yun Chu sighed and asked Yun Luan to go to work.
He was also very busy today. The debate at Louguantai finally came to an end. It was a definite fact that Buddhism and Taoism would officially establish the Shanmen in Chang'an.
This time, Buddhism made a big bet in Chang'an and planned to build another 50 temples around Chang'an on the basis of the original 61 temples.
The Taoist sect also values Chang'an very much. They are determined to move many Taoist temples out of the deep mountains and old forests, and are preparing to use Zhang Tianshi's clan as the sect to set up a Taoist general altar in Chang'an.
Others, such as Islamism, Nestorianism, Manichaeism, and Yuanism, also seem to be actively preparing to expand their temples and expand their influence.
Yun Chu welcomed these sects to settle in Chang'an.
Anyway, when Chang'an became a religious battlefield, it meant that Chang'an, that is, the Tang Dynasty, had a natural interest in the birthplace of these religions, or in other words, had natural jurisdiction.
In the Tang Dynasty, the divine power of kings was already a universal recognition. In other places, it was generally the divine power of kings, or the integration of politics and religion. As long as the Tang Dynasty was strong enough, after rounding up, it can be considered that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful person in the world.
Powerful God.
The Tang court has already taken action on this point. Li Zhi, the former emperor, has become the current emperor, and Wu Mei, the queen, has also become the queen. These are the preparations that the Tang court officials are making for the ruling religion.
In the ninth year of Emperor Taizong's reign in Zhenguan, Nestorian Bishop Aluoben came to Chang'an and gave him good courtesy, allowed him to preach, and built a temple for him. I am afraid that this aspect was considered.
Now, the Tang Dynasty is far more powerful than it was during the Zhenguan period, and is more open to religions. As long as they are not cults, they can settle in certain cities, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou.
The more prosperous the city is, the richer and more civilized the people are, the clearer their thinking will be, and they will clearly know what they want. In this case, the higher the difficulty in spreading religion.
When people believe in religion, they basically don't devote themselves wholeheartedly. They are restrained and selective. For example, whose vegetarian meal is delicious and whose eggs are provided more.
It would be a disaster if religion went to the countryside... Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the only religions that could really bloom everywhere were Buddhism and Taoism, and the rest were limited to local development.
Yunchu hoped that all religions entering Chang'an would be allowed to come under the absolute jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty government, and they would be allowed to preach or accept believers within the limits allowed by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
If things go on like this, Yun Chu believes that after Chang'an lost its political center position, it can still use religion to strengthen its position in the Tang Dynasty.
The central position of religion is a thick defensive armor for Chang'an. If one day, the emperor is ready to take back the entire Chang'an, then he must first clear out the thriving religion, so that enough can be left for Chang'an.
More reaction time.
When the religious leaders entered Chang'an, although Yunchu stayed in Chang'an, he had very little say in the matter. In other words, Yunchu did not want to show that he welcomed religions into Chang'an.
Therefore, Yun Chu stood in the second row in the queue to welcome the religious leaders, and in the first row were officials from the Li family and the Chongsheng Administration, a special department of the Ministry of Rites that supervises religion.
The Wu brothers stood obediently behind Yunchu, watching the Li family represented by Yong Wangxian and Princess Taiping actively interacting with the religious leaders, and they were somewhat jealous.
The Queen worships Buddha!
It's a pity that Yunchu didn't want to show enthusiasm, and the brothers had nothing to do.
Yun Jin did not stand on the side of the Chang'an officials. On the contrary, he, Wen Huan, and Li Chengxiu stood behind the religious leaders, performing discipleship rituals, and did not have any interaction with Yong Wang Xian, Princess Taiping and his group. In other words, those religious leaders
The leaders did not put them on the table as core members.
Wu Chengsi looked at the silent Yun Chu, then at the marginalized Yun Jin, Wen Huan, Li Chengxiu and others, and couldn't help but take a step back. It was this step that made their brothers look less like Chang'an officials.
close.
The relationship between Buddhism and Taoism that Yun's family had based on before had a vague tendency to collapse in this Louguantai debate.
First of all, although Master Xuanzang was still the leader of Buddhism from then on, he no longer interfered with worldly affairs. He concentrated on practicing Buddhism in Daci'en Temple and took pleasure in writing Buddhist classics.
Moreover, Sun Zhenren is no longer an indispensable figure in the Taoist sect. Since Sunzhenren became obsessed with medical skills, the Taoist sect has not been able to get real help from the real person in the past twenty years, so that the originally powerful people have been
The Taoist sect's strength has been greatly reduced after many great virtues and true immortals died. If Sun Zhenren's reputation had not been too high, these people even hoped to expel Sun Zhenren from the Taoist sect.
Just from a grand welcome ceremony, the Wu brothers saw a lot of truths that they could not see on ordinary days. These truths, the Wu brothers had no intention of telling the queen.
It wasn't that they had any objections to the queen, but that Yun Chu was too cunning. Although the Wu brothers felt that what they saw was the truth, their brothers did not serve as pawns for the queen until Yun Chu's head fell to the ground or he was truly defeated.
Intend.
After the religious leaders moved into their respective temples, Yun Chu left the Wannian County Yamen accompanied by his only guard Yin Erhu. Although he still looked aloof and cold, Wu Chengsi felt that today, Yun Chu's crotch
The steps of the black horse seemed very heavy.
When a general rides a horse, he is integrated with the war horse. Although the war horse is carrying the general, in order to save horse power, the general will definitely cooperate with the movement of the war horse and minimize the physical consumption of the war horse.
This is an instinct for military generals. Yun Chu is a leader among military generals, but today, he has no intention of cooperating with the war horse. He is like a walking corpse, letting the war horse carry him home.
After returning to the mansion, Wu Chengsi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and heard Wu Sansi whisper: "The Yun family has been ruined."
Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "It's too early. Yunchu's holy family has not been extinguished. Your Majesty still has great favor and trust in him. The prince also values the Yun family very much. Chang'an is now even more prosperous and has not shown any signs of ruin. This time
It was said that the Yun family was beginning to decline, which was too early."
Wu San thought: "A rat hole has appeared on the embankment, and a rock has collapsed on the Wanren Mountain cliff. Even if the lamp burns the iron chain, the dog licks the mountain, and the chicken pecks the rice hill, the damage has already been seen."
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "That makes sense, but it's just that these words are limited to our brothers and cannot be spread outside the world."
Wu San thought: "If we can obtain the jurisdiction of the second workshop from Yun Chu... what do you think, brother?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Yun Chu has always been headstrong and arrogant. Now he has started to memorize words. At this moment, we brothers must follow the emperor closely and be loyal to him."
Wu San thought: "Yong Wangxian, Taiping may become the biggest obstacle in front of our brothers."
Wu Chengsi took advantage of the tea gradually getting cold, drank the tea in one gulp and said: "First, we can hold on to our current loneliness."
