Li Yunhe said: "For a long time, due to wars, the Songfan area has always been established as a garrison. The imperial court has not established prefectures and counties, and our Taoist sect has never established a palace. The thirteen Taoist temples scattered here do their own thing.
Unable to form a joint force. I was inspired by Zhiyuan just now and thought of this issue. Xiaohe Temple and Songzhou Temple among them are no less than other county temples. Plus the three Hongyuan tribes, why not take the opportunity to build a palace in the Songfan area?
, should they be integrated? Otherwise, after the abolition of the Promotion Office, wouldn’t it be a pity that these Taoist temples would return to a scattered state? They would also be unable to cooperate with Governor Zhou’s military affairs.”
With that said, Li Yunhe turned to Yue Tengzhong and said: "Can you ask Yue Tong to report the overall situation and express his feelings? Our Taoist sect will set up a Taoist palace in Songfanwei to integrate the three Taoist temples and eleven Taoist temples in the Songfan area.
?The Taoist priest at the third level of the Provincial Government is in charge of preaching affairs. Whether this Taoist palace is under the direct control of Zongguan, or it is still under the control of Xuanyuanguan, everything is decided by Zongguan. I wonder what will happen with Yue Tong's approval?"
Yue Tengzhong said: "I have been in the Promotion Office for three years, and I am quite familiar with Sichuan Province and the situation of Songfan. Everyone also knows that the Songfan Guards are not actually a formal guard station established by the imperial court, but a
There are more than ten health clinics here, collectively known as Qianhufu. In the past, because there was no formal division, it was impossible to set up palaces and courtyards. Now that the promotion office is about to be abolished, the temples of Songfan will return to the scattered state of the past.
This model is obviously not conducive to our Taoist sect and our Ming Dynasty’s control of the land here..."
Zhou Gong said: "I was planning to submit a cabinet memorial to request that the Western Sichuan Governor's Palace be made permanent. There should be no problem with this matter, but after talking tonight, I have new ideas. Maybe I can strive for a higher position for the Western Sichuan Governor's Palace.
"
Yue Tengzhong continued: "If this can be done, then of course, the idea of setting up a Taoist palace for the entire Song Dynasty will be very likely to be realized. Zhuang Shuzheng talked to me before leaving, and we all believed that the current front line has been pushed forward.
By the time we reach the Baihe Tianzhi, the rear of the Song Fan Guards is almost safe, and it’s time to set up a Taoist Palace for unified control.”
The Governor's Office for Controlling Military Affairs in Western Sichuan and the Daomen Western Sichuan Promotion Office were both temporary agencies established when the situation on the Baima Mountain battlefield was severe. There had never been any precedent before.
Among them, the responsibility of the Western Sichuan Military Affairs Governor's Yamen is to integrate the military affairs of the Songfan area and all the governments in Western Sichuan, and to fully respond to the Xia army's attack from the direction of Baima Mountain. At that time, the Sichuan Provincial Chief Envoy Si Youshen was appointed, and he was in charge of the Chief Envoy's left and right positions.
It is under the government and has no power to deal with civil affairs.
But the war lasted for eight years, and military affairs were no longer simply military affairs. Basically, many government affairs were taken over. Governor Zhou Gao's status increased greatly, and his influence in the entire Sichuan Province officialdom was
He's power has long surpassed that of the right buzheng, the governor, and even the temperate command department, and his status is only below that of the left buzheng.
Such a behemoth must be against the imperial system. Therefore, in Zhou Gao's memorial, many powers of the original governor's office were cut off, and the tentacles were retracted to the Songfan area, but the specifications were thus determined. The status of the governor of Western Sichuan
, equivalent to the prefect of each state, accepting the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Provincial Chief Envoy. But the slight difference is that it also exercises the military power of the Songfan Guards, and is also controlled by the Sichuan Provincial Chief Envoy.
This was the result of a series of court exchanges. When Zhou Gong drafted the memorial, this system had basically been finalized, and he himself would take advantage of the great victory and ascend to the position of Chief Envoy Si Zuo.
But he had just been inspired by Zhao Zhiyuan and had a new idea. He planned to ask the cabinet again to raise the specifications of the Governor's Mansion by half a level, which could be regarded as a better result for his old subordinates who had praised him for many years.
As an organization born at the same time, the Daomen West Sichuan Promotion Agency will not be retained and will be disbanded after new policies are introduced.
Therefore, Yue Tengzhong also agreed to establish a Taoist palace in the Songfan area to govern the preaching matters of the Taoist temples throughout Songfan.
As for the level of this new Taoist palace, whether it should be improved by half a level compared to the Governor's Palace of Western Sichuan, or whether it should be equivalent to other Taoist palaces, this still needs to be communicated with the general view and left to the decision of the general view.
Therefore, the upgrade of Taoist temples in the Hongyuan area has been settled, but the establishment of new Taoist temples in the entire Songfan area will still have to wait for some time. Yue Tengzhong said that he will report it to the general view with a flying talisman.
In the provincial-level yamen of the Ming Dynasty, the flying talisman reporting system has long been adopted, and the exchange of information will be very fast. However, compared with the flying talisman that usually transmits messages between monks, the flying talisman that can transmit a large amount of document information is not easy to refine.
The cost is very high, so it cannot be popularized below prefectures and counties.
When the discussion lasted until late at night, several exhausted senior figures from Sichuan Province finally ended their conversation.
After they dispersed, Song Zhiyuan accompanied Li Yunhe back to the room. Li Yunhe said: "Zhiyuan's suggestion tonight is very innovative. Several Taoist temples have been raised half a grid, and the original dung lumps have become meat and potatoes. Such a good idea, why?
Didn't you mention it this morning?"
Song Zhiyuan said honestly: "Prison Court, these are actually not my idea. I called Zhao Zhiran today and wanted to ask him about the discussion at the temple, but he said it was not very good. I was a little anxious at the time, and
He discussed this matter and it was he who made the half-measure suggestion."
Li Yunhe said "Oh" and said no more. Song Zhiyuan asked: "Do you need me to call that boy over?"
Li Yunhe shook his head: "No need." Suddenly he asked: "Does he want to go to Hongyuan?"
Song Zhiyuan said: "Of course he wants to be promoted to half a rank. In the prison, this guy is a talent and has many ideas. Do you want to..."
Li Yunhe couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect to be an official fan. Okay, it's getting late. Just send Zhiyuan here. Go back and rest early. You are not young anymore."
The next morning, the discussions in each group that were scheduled to continue were stopped. Xuanyuan Guan announced that the discussion was over. Everyone submitted a strategy paper to express their own opinions on how to effectively preach in the Hongyuan area.
Grammar, informal format, hand in after three days.
The exchange of policies is not unusual, but what is strange is that Zhao Laoduguan announced that the specifications of the Taoist temple and Taoist temple established by Xuanyuan Guan in Hongyuan area will be increased by half a square, and at the same time, he applied to Zongguan to build a new one in Songfan area.
For Dao Palace, the specifications are also increased by half a grid.
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussion. Even though it is only half a level, any Taoist priest who has experienced the "workplace" experience in the Taoist Shifang Jungle can deeply understand how big the promotion of this "half level" will be.
It’s difficult, most people will never be able to touch the threshold of this half grid in their lifetime!
After Zhao Ran heard about it, he really asked Song Zhiyuan to get it done. At the same time, he felt funny in his heart. The so-called "half grid" was extremely innovative in this world, but in the world where he came from, it was extremely innovative.
But it’s stuff from the streets. Have you not seen how many sub-provincial cities, sub-city-level counties, and sub-county-level development zones are bustling in the dust? I can easily count dozens or hundreds for you!
