Fanwai (He Liuxingtang was promoted to the leader)
In the first month of the fiftieth year of Longqing's reign, the total population of the Ming Dynasty finally exceeded one billion. Among them, 650 million were in the empire's mainland, 600 million were in Yingzhou, more than 10 million were in the Goryeo, Donghai, and Nanhai governorates, and 30 million were in the Annan governorate.
, the capital is 20 million, the Burmese Viceroyalty is 30 million, the Siam Viceroyalty is 20 million, the Bengal Viceroyalty is 40 million, and the four vassals of Jabbar, Bidar, Ghubaga, and Bangalore each have more than 30 million.
.
Excluding Buddhism, all types of monks have historically exceeded the 1.5 million mark. There are 320,000 monks in palaces, 80,000 monks in Shifang Jungle, 350,000 casual monks and aristocratic families, and 700,000 monks from other walks of life.
fifty thousand.
Due to the continued development of the demographic dividend, the total credit value exceeded 40 billion, reaching 41 billion.
Due to the substantial increase in trustworthiness and the strict assessment of monks' ordination, the remaining trustworthiness of various provincial halls and pavilions has accumulated too much, reaching the point of being inexhaustible. For this reason, Zhenshitang conducted a trust review five years ago.
The force distribution ratio was readjusted, stipulating that the quotas for the General View, Pavilion, Pavilion, and Chaos Fairy Realm were 0.5, 1, 4.5, and 4 respectively.
At this ratio, the accumulated reserves of Jiuzhou Pavilion's two credit pools have reached 15 billion, and the total value of credit invested in the Chaos Immortal Realm has exceeded 250 billion, and the Chaos Immortal Realm has reached 314,000.
Thousands of square kilometers, the distance from Xianxian Peak in any direction is more than 630 miles!
Such a large territory is equivalent to two Jiangxi provinces, or seventeen Jiujiang provinces, or more than a thousand Lushan Mountains.
In this chaotic fairyland, there are already one thousand monks living there, including 853 Taoists and 147 Buddhists.
Since last year, the True Master Hall has moved into the Chaos Immortal Realm as a whole, and the fully grown joint conference is responsible for the Ming Dynasty world.
After the joint meeting moved to Lushan from Yingtian, it has jurisdiction over ten institutions, including Jiming Temple, Yuanfu Palace, Daolu Division, Lecture Hall, Chaotian Palace, Lingji Palace, Xianling Palace, Civilization Committee, Donglin Temple, and Sutra Brush.
Temple, Yikezhao Temple, the latter three are linked to the three major Buddhist vassal states of Xixia, Tubo and Beiyuan respectively. The three major Buddhist kingdoms send eminent monks to serve. Through the joint meeting, the three major Buddhist kingdoms are actually tightly tied to the battle of the Ming Dynasty.
On the car, a sect-vassal system was formed with Ming Dynasty as the suzerain and closely integrated with each other.
The abbot of Jimingguan who is responsible for the credibility is the real person Pei Zhongning. She came to Songfan and reported to Zhao Ran, who had resigned as the real master for many years, about the preparations for the expansion of the Chaos Fairyland this year.
"Our Taoist side is worth 16.4 billion Gui, and the Buddhist side is 16.8 billion Luo, which is equivalent to 3.36 billion Gui, so the total value is 19.76 billion. This year
The Buddhist School applied for thirty-six people, and as you know, starting from this year, great masters will be allowed to move in, and they applied for twenty-two people who were first in the Bhikkhu Realm and second in Insight Wisdom..."
Zhao Ran asked: "Has Buddhism's credibility report been reported this year?"
Pei Zhongning picked out a book from a pile of documents and handed it to Zhao Ran: "Xixia 32 billion Luo, Tubo 18 billion Luo, Beiyuan 12 billion Luo."
After Zhao Ran read it, he opened the Taoist sect again and saw the Buddhist sect's application list for this year. He saw a long list of names on it. The sixth one was the great alchemist Pei Renxiao. He sighed and comforted: "Uncle Pei still hasn't made a breakthrough after all.
But it doesn’t matter. After entering the Chaos Immortal Realm, my life span will be extended to 600 years. After so many years, I will be free from worries."
Pei Zhongning said: "Fortunately, there is the Chaos Immortal Realm, otherwise our generation would have to experience life and death. Senior Brother Zhao, thank you."
Zhao Ran said: "The Chaos Immortal World is certainly good, but I regret that the world of Ming Dynasty is still inevitably sliding into the Dharma End World. I wonder if you have ever paid attention to this issue?"
"What's the problem?"
"The ratio of population to number of monks. Wang Wusen has been doing research in this area. Seven days ago he submitted a report to me. This year's local population is 650 million, and the total number of monks is 1.5 million, accounting for one thousandth.
At 2.3, the proportion of monks has doubled compared to fifty years ago, and it looks very good."
Pei Zhongning said: "This is also Senior Brother Zhao's goal. We are one step closer to one percent."
Zhao Ran said: "If you exclude the meritorious monks, the total number of pavilion monks and casual cultivators who practice spiritual power is 670,000, accounting for one thousandth, which is the same as fifty years ago. There is no change."
Pei Zhongning thought for a while and said: "For a long time, the number of people with spiritual talent is only one in a thousand. There is nothing we can do about it."
Zhao Ran sighed: "If it is maintained at one thousandth, that would be great. Wang Wusen made a statistics. He calculated the number of bone-setting pills that have been refined and distributed by Qifu Pavilion over the years and the number currently retained by each pavilion.
We found it, subtracting the two, this number is roughly equivalent to the number of bone-setting monks, what do you think it is?"
Pei Zhongning was stunned, and suddenly understood what the problem Zhao Ran was talking about.
Zhao Ran said: "From the 21st year of Jiajing to the present, a total of 230,000 bone-setting pills have been used! If there were no bone-setting pills, the total number of spiritual monks would be 440,000. This is not one in a thousand, but a thousand."
0.65/0. I asked Wang Wusen to make a coordinate axis, mark the annual numbers on it, and calculate the downward curve... Well, it is a connection of digital trajectory points..." As he said that, Zhao Ran took out a writing brush
, thrown forward, the brush moved forward smoothly at first, and then began to fall.
"This curve is getting faster and faster. We predict that in another hundred years, the number of people with spiritual talent will be reduced to one in 10,000. After 150 years, it will be reduced to one in 100,000. After two hundred years, it will be reduced to one in 100,000.
One in a million. By then, among the newborns born every year in the Ming Dynasty, only ten will have the talent for cultivation. Three hundred years later, there may be only one, or even none."
Pei Zhongning murmured: "The Age of Dharma End is coming so soon? What is the reason for this?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "We are all considering this issue. Qingqiu and Nazhen said that it is the result of the dissipation of spiritual energy. If this is the case, we must find a way to delay this process, prevent or even rebel."
Pei Zhongning nodded: "Senior brother is doing big things and considering big issues. No matter what he decides, I will support him."
Zhao Ran said: "Let's work hard together... How are the preparations for my ancestor Yue's ascension ceremony?"
Pei Zhongning said: "There are 1.5 billion faith power in the pool, which is enough to mobilize. All Buddhist monks have expressed their intention to come to participate. Miss Ninth has been making preparations. I met her before I came, and she asked me to invite my senior brother.
Please tell me, how many quotas are appropriate for Buddhists to attend the ceremony?"
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "I don't care about this kind of thing, you can just do whatever you want."
On February 15, the 50th year of Longqing's reign, the Great Heavenly Master Duanmu ascended to the upper realm, spent 4.6 billion guine on his faith, and gained a life span of one yuan.
