After listening to Du Teng talk about the little actions of Yue Teng and others, Zhao Ran replied: "I heard that there is such a thing, but I don't know the details yet."
Du Tenghui went back to the desk to search, picked out a copy from a pile of documents, and handed it to Zhao Ran: "Zhi Ran, take a look."
After Zhao Ran took it over, he saw that it was "Advice to the People on Faith", and then he immediately started reading it carefully.
Yue Tengzhong's "Advice to the People on Believing in the Dao" mainly talks about how to promote the people of Songfan to believe in the Dao. According to his advice, it includes the following three items:
The first is to "beat the snake seven inches", but the word "beat" does not mean "beat" in the original sense, but means to focus on the chieftains and the big and small heads. In other words, if you want to
The key to getting people from all ministries to believe is to get the chieftains from all ministries and the big and small heads to believe. And to do this, we must adopt a gentle strategy to win over the chieftains and big heads from all ministries. Specific methods include recognizing the chieftains and chieftains from all ministries.
In the tribal system that was inherited, the chieftains of each tribe were granted the title of defense envoys and regiment training envoys, and the big and small heads were granted the title of thousands or hundreds of households, and they were brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court from their official positions.
The second is "it is better to slow down than to rush", that is to say, we should not rush forward hastily, but should proceed slowly and use it slowly. We should not use overly radical means to anger the ministries and the people. We should try our best to unite and maintain the existing system of the ministries, acknowledge the history, focus on the future, and
Prevent the occurrence of rebellions between tribes and people, which will affect the stability of the Song Dynasty and the overall strategy of the Ming army against Xixia. Specific methods include respecting the folk customs and habits of various tribes, understanding their ambiguities about the channel due to cognitive biases, and maintaining the policy within at least ten years.
Tolerate the freedom of individual beliefs of the people.
The last step is "absorption and transformation", which are suggested methods on how to achieve the goal of allowing the people to believe in Taoism. These methods include providing a certain amount of financial and food subsidies to each Songfan tribe every year to solve their difficult lives; for those who are willing to join Taoism,
Priority will be given to receiving ultimatums. Those who are willing to serve as officials will be given a fixed number of places in the imperial examination. Those who are willing to join the army will have their money and food pension doubled; the annual land tax and labor service can be reduced or exempted as appropriate...
Finally, through the above-mentioned governance strategies, the people of all tribes and tribes can feel the kindness shown to them by the Taoist sect and the imperial court, so that they can feel grateful and voluntarily regard themselves as enlightened people. In this way, the matter of believing in Taoism will be a matter of course.
After reading it, Zhao Ran shook his head: "Yue Tengzhong is here for me. It seems that they are not very happy about what I did in Hongyuan."
Du Teng would smile and said: "They think that if you do this, you may be able to gain a temporary increase in credibility, which will be good for the Zongsheng Hall, but it will not be conducive to the long-term stability of Songfan. In the future, it will definitely cause trouble for the Governor's Mansion and the imperial court.
All kinds of right and wrong come."
"What do Du Jianyuan think?"
"I studied Taoism at the age of nine and entered the Taoist sect at the age of 18. I have dedicated my life to the Taoist sect for decades. Of course I have to sit on the side of the Taoist sect and the Zongsheng Hall. And I am the leader of Hongyuan's development in the past two years.
Seeing this, I don’t know what they mean by saying ‘it’s not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the Song Dynasty’, I didn’t see it at all.”
"Thank you Du Jian Yuan."
"You don't need to thank me. This is also my duty. Over the years, I have been thinking about who we should do things for and how to do things. I have figured it out, but some people always don't understand, haha."
These small actions did add to the confusion, but given the current overall situation of Song Fan, it was difficult to make waves. Zhao Ran just shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
From Tianhe Palace back to White Horse Courtyard, Zhao Ran was thinking about the next candidate for the abbot of Yongzhen Spirit Snake Courtyard. After much deliberation, he could only choose someone from Wenqing Valley.
One is Cao Yuzhu and the other is Yu Yuqi. Both of them are currently wandering at the peak of the Taoist realm and have not yet formed a twin. Cao Yuzhu has been in the Taoist realm for twelve years and Yu Yuqi has been in the Taoist realm for ten years.
Both of them are suffering from great hatred. They are trapped in the mountains and have no way to break through, so they can only escape.
The good thing is that both of them have attended the short-term abbot's crash course given by Zhao Ran to Senior Sister Zheng, and they must have a preliminary idea of how to be a qualified monk abbot. The disadvantage is that these two are not high-ranking monks and have some personalities.
These two people cannot perform rituals that can be presided over by Huangguan-level monks. However, this is not a big shortcoming. Zhao Ran can continue to find a few Taoist-level monks from the Zhaijiao rituals to preside over to make up for their shortcomings.
The only problem is that the two of them have not entered the Huangguan and do not meet the requirements of the edict issued by the general view. However, Songfan is located in a remote location and there are no outsiders. The responsibility of dealing with the Shifang jungle belongs to him alone.
When the time comes, he will report that these two are just in the Huangguan realm, and they are not in trouble. Who can tell them apart? Who of the two low-level monks will actually check it out? There is really someone here.
If you make a fuss about one point, the worst thing you can do is say that you were negligent and just replaced someone. Overall, there are no punishment regulations. There is no cost to cheating, so there is no need to look forward and backward.
While thinking about it, Zhao Ran received another flying talisman from Bai Geng, saying that the two hundred Han slaves exchanged for Li Guangxian's black materials had been sent out half a month ago, and he hoped to ask the abbot to check it. At the same time, Gao Yanei, the representative of Cheng Dong's family, also
Requests were sent, and they continued to ask for dirty information, especially asking for dirty information about Wu Huawen, the commander of the left wing of the White Horse Supervisory Army Division, by name.
Zhao Ran returned to the White Horse Courtyard and immediately dug out the pile of black materials, found a report by Wu Huawen on the three-day delay in sending military rations to the Xia Army Camp in White Horse Mountain, and deleted the content in it that reported that he had insufficient food reserves.
Then the flying talisman was given to Bai Geng: "They need three hundred people for this material."
There are several files stacked on the table that need to be reviewed by Zhao Ran, including the return of three hundred taels of charity gold and silver from Baima Court, organizing people to continue building private houses outside the first ring road, and awarding an official ultimatum to Zhou Hualong, a layman in the fire industry (this person was issued two years ago).
The political envoy Zhou Gao arranged for his relatives to join the Taoism in Baimayuan) and so on.
There was also a report on the naturalization of tribesmen in Xiaojie Temple. Zhao Ran also paid attention to it. Last month, a total of 17 households of Longbai tribesmen and 23 households of Chama tribesmen fled to the foot of the mountain. A total of nearly
Two hundred people, an increase of 20% compared to December last year.
It seems that the trend of escape in these two films is getting stronger and stronger, and Zhao Ran is extremely happy about this.
After reading the official document, Zhao Ran, accompanied by Li Zhike and Fang Tangtangtou Guaner in the guest room, went to Hongyuan Guards Station to meet with Ning Shouyu to discuss the establishment of a Taoist temple in Yueliangdu.
With Baima Yuan as the main one, small street temples facing the three departments, and Yue Temple facing the border garrison, they can fully gather the trust of all kinds of people on the Hongyuan territory. This is the structure of Zhao Ran's mission to Hongyuan.
It is expected that after the completion of this moon temple, it will contribute more than 60,000 Gui to Hongyuan every year.
As for the candidates for Yuemiao Temple, Zhao Ran has already made a selection. Through Tianhe Palace, Jin Jiu of Wujiyuan in Guyang County is already on his way to Songfan. When he arrives, Zhao Ran is ready to hand over Yuemiao Temple to Songfan.
On his hands.
Before that, all the preparations for the Moon Temple were left to Li Zhike and Ning Shouyu. After this matter was completed, Zhao Ran planned to let Li Zhike be promoted to the post of governor of Baima Court. The vacant post of Zhike would be filled by the current incumbent.
Xiaojie Miao Lu Miaozhu replaced him. For Lu Miaozhu, taking over the important task of knowing guests meant that he was included in the list of promotions for the next step, which was also considered a reward. As for the Fangzhu position left vacant by Fangzhu Lu,
Then it will be topped by Guan Er.
The talks with Ning Shouyu went very smoothly. The address of Yuemiao has been selected. Construction will officially start on February 1st and will be completed within two months. By then, Yuemiao will take over the three camps of Songfan Guards and the surrounding areas.
The people's offering of incense and praying for blessings has become another important support point for Hongyuan's trust value to be absorbed.
ps: Thank you again for Teacher Wan’s recommendation. Teacher Wan has many fans and I have benefited a lot from it.
