Wang Xuan shouted this sentence with his inner strength, and the whole temple heard it clearly. For a while, Amitabha's voice kept thinking, this devil is coming again, Buddha, let's kill him with the fury of thunder.
!
The old abbot felt nervous, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. He understood the meaning of Wang Xuan's words.
If Wang Xuan wants to take revenge, he will definitely have trouble with their Shaomusi Temple, but he will not kill them all. Things will not be easy to get over. Even if they are not easy, they can get over it. It just depends on when the other party vents their anger and how much they have to pay.
Finally, the crisis of destroying the temple has passed.
The old abbot turned around and walked back. A group of big monks and young monks all gathered around him, chattering incessantly, like a swarm of flies surrounding the abbot. This made the already irritable abbot even more angry.
His footsteps suddenly stopped, and his whole person became gloomy. The invisible aura caused the surroundings to fall into silence. Everyone realized that something was wrong and were too scared to speak.
"Everyone, get out of here!!!"
The old abbot roared suddenly, the sound was so loud that the ears of the surrounding monks buzzed, and they were all stunned to the spot. In decades, they had never seen the abbot get so angry.
He reached out and waved among the crowd, and the people behind him automatically made way for a passage, and the abbot walked back with a gloomy face.
Returning to the meditation room, he sat blankly on the futon. The abbot stared blankly ahead, but his mind was in chaos. Why did things develop like this? How could such a great enemy of Buddhism appear in the world.
Why should I provoke him?
No, it's all the fault of this devil. He is a devil and was born to be an enemy of our Buddhist sect. It's not my problem. He must be the reincarnation of the devil ancestor Bo Xun.
Damn it Wang Xuan, why don’t you die honestly!
what to do?
Can you kill him?
Uncle Master is a super master. Although he is not yet at the peerless level, he is still one of the strongest in the world.
However, Wang Xuan must be a first-rate master, but I don’t know exactly what level he has reached.
No, you can't be in a hurry. You must not be in a hurry this time. Hold on tight and don't waste time. We can win!
If you don't take action, that's it. If you take action, you must kill it with one strike. Just like when you dealt with Sanwu for a week, you can't take action without absolute certainty. Otherwise, this demon king will definitely launch an army and destroy my Buddhist lineage in one fell swoop.
So, now it’s time to endure, to endure what no one can endure!
Either find an opportunity to destroy Wang Xuan in one fell swoop, or slowly kill Wang Xuan and leave the task of thriving again to future generations.
It's just that the abbot can think of many problems, and he is more cunning than this old monk... No, Wang Xuan, who has more experience, can naturally think of them.
As the saying goes, Taoism is promoted in troubled times, and Buddhism is promoted in prosperous times.
This makes sense. Since ancient times, in times of trouble, Taoists have come down from the mountains to help the people. Zuo Ci in the Three Kingdoms warned Cao Cao, and Yu Ji helped the people. From Jiang Ziya in the Zhou Dynasty, to Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, to Tang Dynasty
Xu Maogong, Li Jing, Miao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Liang, Fan Li, etc. are all Taoist figures. These figures are basically outstanding military strategists or politicians.
In the fields of politics, military, and diplomacy, Guiguzi’s Zonghengxue, which tells the story of Yin and Yang’s ways of controlling yin and yang, has cultivated famous military strategists and diplomats such as Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan.
But the world is afraid, one person is extinguished but the princes are safe, a three-inch tongue can be as powerful as a million troops."
But, because of this, in the prosperous times, these people will naturally not be needed, or in other words, in the prosperous times, these people will become the source of cholera.
Didn't Lu Xun say that with greater ability comes greater responsibility?
These people are just too capable. Whether they are politicians or military strategists, they are the two types of people that rulers fear and guard against the most!
Relatively speaking, Buddhist ideas are more popular with rulers and have the ability to stabilize social order and calm social conflicts.
The way of expression is that Taoism seeks this life, and Buddhism seeks the next life.
Taoism pursues the present, pursues immortality in this life, and avoids the world without getting involved in cause and effect.
Buddhism teaches people to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and pursue glory and wealth in the next life. The sufferings you encounter in this life only need to be endured. They are all sins owed in your previous life and need to be repaid in this life. Don't think about resisting, just endure silently.
After paying off the sins of the previous life, you will naturally be happy and healthy in the next life. Those who commit evil thoughts will go to the eighteenth level of hell and suffer the suffering of reincarnation. In the next life, they will be cows or horses, not as good as pigs and dogs.
This set of ideas can indeed contribute to social stability, increase people's tolerance, reduce people's grievances, reduce social conflicts, and is welcomed by rulers. This is also the reason why Buddhism has been given so many preferential policies in the past dynasties.
Of course, there is no perfect good thing in the world. Buddhism has so many benefits, but naturally it also has disadvantages. That is, it will gradually accumulate a large amount of wealth, leaving less and less wealth circulating in society.
After all, Buddhism itself cannot create wealth, and if money does not circulate, the economy will stagnate.
However, firstly, ancient economics was not developed, and the rulers did not understand it thoroughly enough. Secondly, the benefits did outweigh the disadvantages, so Buddhism became more and more prosperous.
The way to change is to pay taxes. If you don't charge heavy taxes on someone who pays one hundred thousand incense, you will be sorry for him.
However, it is not that simple to make monks pay taxes. This is the bottom line of these bald donkeys. Once it is touched, it will inevitably cause an uproar. Wang Xuan does not dare to do it until he is sure.
Early the next morning, a team of five hundred men came to Nanshaomusu Temple again. The leader was Yu Leyou, and they were accompanied by a bunch of tax collectors. When the abbot heard the news, he guessed that they were here to settle accounts with them. This was indeed the case when he came out.
There is no other way, the form is stronger than the human, so I can only start counting.
The abbot looked at Yu Leyou, but he still wanted to set up a friendship unwillingly. They had been playing this trick for thousands of years, and they had always been successful. As long as the relationship was in place, they could naturally open a hole in Wang Xuan's side. If they could seize the military power, everything would be fine.

"No, I have official duties and I dare not leave my post without permission." Yu Leyou has also seen the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Naturally, he also understood what the abbot meant, and said solemnly: "Nowadays, the laws in the military are extremely strict, and it is not what an individual can do.
of."
The abbot was stunned, his eyes kept blinking, and his face was confused... What's going on?
"Ahem." Yu Leyou coughed lightly. Seeing that the surrounding soldiers were far away, he whispered: "There are instructors in the army who are responsible for ideological work and teaching literacy."
Hearing this, the abbot was shocked. How dare this, this, Wang Xuan dare? This is to enlighten the people's wisdom!
It has been the case since ancient times that the people can follow it but not know it. Regardless of what the emperor thought at that time, the entire feudal society focused on the policy of obscuring the people. Even after the imperial examination, studying was still a matter of course.
Difficult thing.
Especially popular education in the military and civilians is not allowed.
After all, if you know too much, it’s hard to be fooled... No one from the emperor to the ministers to the big locals is willing to do this. It’s better for Niluzi to be a leek cook honestly, what can he do if he knows so much!
These soldiers know too much and have too high a sense of loyalty, so the generals in the army lose 100% control, and many random orders cannot be carried out. No general who leads the army is willing to do this.
Moreover, the cost of studying in ancient times was also very high. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were so expensive that ordinary soldiers could not even get enough pay, let alone study and literacy.
However, here at Wang Xuan, the cost is negligible. A large blackboard and a few boxes of chalk can do everything.
The abbot sighed and gave up on trying to win over Yu Leyou. He just kept scolding Wang Xuan in his mind for being so cautious. In fact, the literacy rate in Fujian has been getting higher and higher in recent years. After all, Wang Xuan promoted local education.
For three years, especially in Fuzhou Prefecture, almost every village has a school.
"What!"
A sudden exclamation came, startling the abbot and Yu Leyou, especially the abbot, who suddenly felt his heartbeat speeding up, and his intuition told him that something big had happened!
The two hurriedly walked over, and the abbot hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Several tax collectors' eyes were wide open at this moment, looking horrified. They pointed to the abacus with one hand and the land deed with the other, mumbling indistinctly.
"What's going on? Tell me what's going on!" The abbot was anxious, and his words were filled with inner energy, which made people's ears hurt.
It took a long time for several tax collectors to catch their breath, and their eyes looking at the abbot were full of pity. They looked at each other, and the leader among them shook his head and said: "Master abbot, the land deed of your previous dynasty has a total of 34,000 acres.
Thousand acres.”
The abbot blinked and didn't understand what it meant. What's surprising about this? It's just more than 30,000 acres. Is it surprising? After all, it was accumulated by the Song and Yuan generations. A lot was lost in the process. You must know that the Ming Dynasty alone
Over the years, the temple has acquired more land.
"This is thirty-four thousand acres!" The tax collector's voice became sharp.
"So what, just say it!"
"This is a good paddy field. It can be harvested twice a year. The yield per mu per quarter is three shi. According to the current calculation, it is 450 kilograms or more. It can harvest six shi a year. Even if each stone is only sold for one tael of silver.
, that is also six taels. Thirty-four thousand acres is 204,000 taels. In 250 years, it is 51 million taels. Double compensation is 102 million taels of silver!"
"His" "His" "His" "His"
There was a sound of inhalation all around, as if all the air was being sucked out. This was simply too scary. How much is this... A group of people looked at the abbot with pity.
At this time, the abbot's eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets. He raised his finger and pointed at the tax collector, his lips kept trembling. Then, "Oh~" he couldn't breathe, and he fell to the ground with a "Plop", causing a splash.
Smoke and dust.
