Chapter 5505: Exchange of Benefits for Temple Cultivator

The black robe said thoughtfully: "That is to say, Fotucheng did not directly grab the labor force and soldiers who were mainly young men from the beginning, but instead recruited those old and weak women and children that even Shihu didn't want.

If you take people in, then you have a reason to ask Shihu for policies and land so that these people can support themselves?"

The ancestor nodded and said: "Yes, Shihu is the devil in troubled times. He only needs men who can farm and fight. But for women, old people and children who only eat but can't do much work, he

I wish these people would disappear directly. Fo Tucheng said that he was compassionate and wanted to save all sentient beings, so he was willing to help Shi Hu come.

Feeding these people, especially feeding these people who don’t even have a home and have no way to make a living, is playing into Shi Hu’s hands. Of course, these people can’t do much work. Even if they farm, it’s difficult to support themselves. Shi Hu is also needed.

In addition to giving them enough land for Buddhism, they must also be given a certain amount of food to survive."

"Of course, in exchange, those children who grew up in Buddhist temples will have to return to secular life when they reach adulthood to serve the Shizhao regime, or they will be registered as household members and become official men, and they will be assigned wives to start a family.

Either a woman was married off to a soldier after she reached adulthood, or she was admitted to the palace as a maid. In short,

The devil Shi Hu will not raise these people in vain. What he eats in their stomachs will have to be returned sooner or later. However, he will be given to the Buddhist temple in Fotucheng to raise him until he reaches adulthood. Furthermore, he will learn the Dharma in the Buddhist temple and know how to do it.

Being tolerant and accepting, the consciousness of resistance is much lower than that of ordinary children who grow up in ordinary families."

The black robe sighed: "Fortunately, Shi Zhao's regime ended very early. Otherwise, if he had been doing this for decades or hundreds of years, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many ordinary people's families in the Central Plains. They would be destined to live a hard life anyway."

, in the end, it would be better to send him to a Buddhist temple to overthrow him if he was finally taken away by the Shizhao regime. However, this kind of practice, which is tantamount to depriving ordinary families of their descendants, cannot last long in the Central Plains."

The ancestor said calmly: "Yes, so after Shi Zhao pacified the north, there has been constant resistance from all walks of life. Although they also preached Buddhism vigorously, except for families with orphans and widowed mothers, they would rob a son of a man and send him to a Buddhist temple.

, it is no different from having people cut off their descendants. Resistance uprisings are still emerging one after another. Even if they are suppressed, there will be no one left to farm and produce for the Shi Zhao regime.

, even without Ran Min, the empire would have come to an end sooner or later. However, when Shi Zhao died, Buddhism did not end with it. Later, Buddhism still flourished in the north, whether it was the former Qin or the later Qin.

The reason why kings worship Buddha is actually similar to that of Shi Zhao. The rule of foreigners over Han people's land is based on reducing the resistance of Han people."

"The regimes of the Fu and Yao clans were established by the Qiang and Di people, not the Han people in the Central Plains. The core of their rule still relies on the army composed of their own tribes. They may be lucky to conquer the world for a while, but if they want to dominate the world, they will not be able to win.

It’s not that easy. Both Fu Jian and Yao Chang were kings with a reputation for benevolence. They were not as cruel as Shi Zhao, but they were both

Therefore, if according to Confucianism, they respect the king and reject the barbarians, they themselves will become barbarians, and they will be overthrown and driven out sooner or later. Therefore, Buddhism was brought in to reduce the resistance of the people.

It became their policy to downplay the contradiction between China and Yi and replace Confucian benevolence and righteousness with Buddhist compassion."

"The two Qin states had wars for years. Many men in the country were killed and injured, leaving many orphans and widows, and even semi-extinct households without men in the family. If these people had to be raised by the state, they would be

It is a heavy burden, so Fu Jian and Yao Xing would rather build Buddhist temples and nunneries to collect them specifically.

Leave these poor people who have nothing to rely on in troubled times. Then, let these people survive by farming by themselves and receiving incense money. If that doesn't work, then allocate a certain amount of money and grain. In this way, the country can be greatly reduced.

It’s just that the reputation of such good deeds will be relieved by Buddhism.”

"Over the years, especially during the Later Qin Dynasty, the expansion of Buddhist temples has become more and more serious. The group of great masters and monks headed by Kumarajiva has not only taken in the orphans and widows in the war, but also has become a

The young empress Qin's military households and even the nobles fled from the soldiers of their nephews and nephews.

The war went to the place where Qin Fang was strong before and after. The foreign wars went smoothly and the losses were not big. In addition, at the beginning of the founding of the country, all the Yao and Qiang tribes needed to fight together. But after taking over the world, people will always be greedy for life and afraid of death. After getting the glory and wealth

Many of the Yao and Qiang nobles no longer want to fight."

"Especially the Battle of Chaibi and Helianbobo's rebellion. These two battles cost the Qin army hundreds of thousands of men. Almost every family of the Qiang tribe died in the battle. Moreover, Hu Xia's power was also growing.

The casualties after each attack remained high, which made many Qiang people

Afraid of war, they would donate money for incense to Buddhist temples and place their adult male members in the names of Buddhist temples. Whenever there was a war, they would become monks and wait until the war was over before returning home. This was also the Qin Dynasty.

This is an important reason why the military’s combat effectiveness is getting weaker and weaker.”

Duopeng nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's it. Kumarajiva and I have an extraordinary relationship, and I even thought about working together with him. But my ancestor taught us that this Buddhist family is after all

Religions from the west of India also have their own gods and many secret magic and magic. It is best for us not to follow them.

There are too many involved. We can make use of them for a while in this troubled world, but in the long run, it is best to let them come and go wherever they go. After all, the Yao family and the Later Qin Dynasty are also barbarians. They are also outsiders to our Middle-earth world. Barbarians

Paganism will also be our enemy sooner or later, but we cannot let Liu Yu destroy them at the moment."

The ancestor nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Venerable Doupeng, you should have this understanding. However, our biggest enemy at the moment is still Liu Yu. It is feasible to use some external forces to deal with him. Now

You all know this about the unity of demons and Buddhas, so you still think that it is absolutely impossible for Liu Yu and Monk Huiyuan to become temporary allies, and they must fight to the death?"

The black robe's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I think that their ideas will eventually conflict fundamentally. Buddhism claims to be equal to all living beings, but in fact it wants to protect the people from all kinds of diseases.

In the name of all sentient beings, to occupy as much land as possible to build temples and recruit monks and nuns, in essence, they still have to compete with the country for resources and population. Yao Xing can tolerate it, but Liu Yu will never!" (End of Chapter)
