There has been a policy in all dynasties, which is called relocating people to consolidate the frontiers. Translated into vernacular, it means, relocating people to enrich the frontiers.
This has to mention a very real issue, the collapse of the empire.
There was once a country in the West that could be considered a unified country, which the Central Plains people called Da Qin. Its capital was the City of Seven Hills, which is where the Holy See is today.
When the Qin Empire weakened and even collapsed, its border provinces rebelled and became independent.
Because in the process of expansion of the Great Qin Empire, other races would continue to be introduced into the empire, basically one province, one clan, one region. After the Great Qin conquered them, the Senate only sent governors, tax collectors and troops. As long as they paid taxes on time and went out in war,
People contribute their own efforts and do not care about other internal affairs and implement autonomy. That's all. Da Qin also regards them as second-class citizens. The first-class citizens' lives and dreams come from external plunder and the oppression and exploitation of second-class citizens. This creates a double
Contradictions, class and racial.
There is also the third point, which is regional conflict. There are always rich areas and poor areas. When the empire falls apart, the rich areas will naturally not recognize the poor areas and will only focus on getting rid of this poor brother.
So when the empire collapsed, almost all the outer provinces broke away from the empire and began to seek independence. .??.??
If the main body is strong enough, it can still keep the core area and seek a comeback. If the main body is not strong enough, it will disappear in the long river of history.
The Central Plains Dynasty also considered this issue, so the policy of relocating people to real borders came into being. The core is integration. You have me, and I have you. In the end, there is no distinction between each other.
Today's Taoist sect has a vast territory, and Taoist sects also have to consider this issue. That's why some people object to accepting Tawanting and put forward the saying that "Tawanting can only share blessings but not hardships". This is a reality.
Basic.
After all, Tawanting is different from Nanyang. Nanyang has been integrated with the Central Plains since the Zulong period. Over thousands of years, it has a sufficient foundation. However, Tawanting is incompatible with the Central Plains in every aspect. The culture is different and the language is blocked.
If you think differently, you really have to accept Tawanting. Judging from historical experience, when the Taoist sect is strong, it is okay. Once the Taoist sect falls into weakness, Tawanting will definitely pack up the weak and run away. This means that we cannot share the difficulties. Even if we bite the Taoist sect back, it is also
It's not impossible.
This is the main reason why there is so much resistance to the Li family. If you want to integrate, it will take at least hundreds of years to bear fruit. No one dares to guarantee whether the Taoist sect can flourish for hundreds of years. If you want to leave,
The shortcut is the Western method, which is to directly kill people and massacre cities and areas, but this goes against the purpose of Taoist civilization. If you really do such a thing, how can you have the face to accuse Westerners? After all, Taoism has also done it.
The key is to kill someone
It will backfire on one's own legitimacy. Don't underestimate the role of moral justice. Maintaining people's hearts depends on moral justice. If you are born in injustice, you will act in injustice, you will die in injustice.
What Qi Xuansu advocated seems very unreliable, but in fact it is very practical. We don’t care about your own problems, we just cooperate. Whether you are killing people or oppressing, it is all your internal contradictions. Don’t treat it as such.
The account is settled on Daomen. As for where Xidaomen will go, as long as the steam gospel in the north does not fall, Xidaomen has the meaning of existence.
Since the Daomen is unwilling to accept Tawanting into its territory, the outer territory of the Daomen is the West Basa Continent, Borneo, Luosuo Continent, Fenglin Continent, and the vast western region outside Xizhou. The Daomen has also implemented the policy of relocating people to consolidate the borders.
, among which the best implementation is in the Nanyang region. There is no doubt that when Qi Xuansu was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest, he heard that Taoism would send people who had lost their land to Nanyang every year, killing two birds with one stone.
Other regions have their own difficulties, such as Fenglinzhou. The environment here is pretty good, but the place is too small and there are too many people and there is no space. The opposite of Fenglinzhou is Luo Suozhou. The place is too big and there are too few people. In the end, it became
to the place of exile.
The Taoist sect never wastes manpower. Many high-quality Taoist priests will be sent to the Kunlun Taoist Monastery after falling into the Skynet. Because these high-quality Taoist priests are powerful and close to Yujing, it is easier to suppress and guard them. They do not dare to make any changes.
, if you put them too far away, these people are likely to run away directly. Those who are really difficult to monitor or who have committed heinous crimes will be sent to the three major prisons.
There were also some less powerful prisoners who were exiled to Luo Suozhou. Although Luo Suozhou had a harsh environment, it was rich in mineral resources, so these exiled prisoners were arranged to mine. In addition, there were also a large number of ordinary miners hired.
Most of these people come from Nanyang and the Central Plains, but no one wants to live here for a long time. They all work for a few years, save enough money, and then go back to their hometowns to live.
The entire Luo Suozhou is a large mining area, which supports Daomen's smelting industry. So many armored ships and firearms rely on this place.
Therefore, Tianji Hall has a strong presence here, just as Shibo Hall has a strong presence in Nanyang and other places. It is the same reason.
In addition, this "mining area" also serves as a transfer station, port, warehouse, and Daomen's aid to the Southern Continent is shipped here first and then transferred to the Southern Continent. In recent years, it has even been built directly next to the mining area.
A giant workshop, eliminating the need for transportation.
It has to be said that such a huge territory exceeds anything in the history of the Central Plains.
In any dynasty, if the Southern Continent is included, then no matter what time, there is always a piece of land bathed in the sun, the sun is high in the sky and the sun never sets.
This is the Taoist Gate.
Because of this, the position of Taoist Grand Master is so eye-catching and coveted.
When the "Sun Boat" of the Xidaomen Mission appeared in the sky above Luosu Island, Qi Xuansu looked down and saw a desolate stretch of yellow sand with no vegetation and no rivers. One glance made people feel the name "Jue Island".
.
This is a real scene in the western part of Luosuozhou. It is easy to remind people of the Western Regions, which are also severely desertified today, even worse than the Western Regions. In any case, the Western Regions also had a period of abundant water and grass in history, leaving behind many civilizations. Later, they declined.
It happened later. But not even the remains of civilization were left here, and even the animals in general retained their primitive appearance. It was really a barren land.
As the flying boat continued to move forward, the environment gradually changed and there were people.
At the same time, two "Purple Dragons" were also launched into the air to accompany the mission. "Welcome the Xidaomen mission to Luosuozhou. Our two flying boats were ordered by the Taoist government to guide and escort the mission."
Led by the two "Purple Dragons", Xidaomen's "Sun Boat" flew to the nearest Dayuan Port - a port named after a person to commemorate Wang Dayuan, the first Central Plains man who discovered Luo Suozhou. Return
There is a Huanzhang City named after Wang Dayuan's cousin "Huanzhang".
At this time, at Dayuan Port, the real person in charge of Luosuozhou Dao Mansion, Ye Qingshuang, had led several deputy masters to wait on the dock. Just Qi Xuansu would not allow Ye Qingshuang to mobilize troops like this, but the West Dao Sect Mission was different.
As Huangfu Ji is the future core figure of Xidao Sect, the Dao Sect still needs to give him a very high standard of reception.
The huge "Sun Boat" falls on the sea like a moving island. Although it is not as exquisite as "Yinglong" with its stacked palaces and pavilions, its main feature is that it is shrouded in light, illuminating the world from all angles.
Yuan Port.
After putting down the gangway, Huangfuji was the first to walk down, followed by Qi Xuansu.
Ye Qingshuang had already taken the initiative to greet Huangfuji, who was walking down the gangway. Huangfuji then greeted several deputy palace masters behind Ye Qingshuang in turn.
The meeting between Qi Xuansu and Ye Qingshuang was much more casual, they just handed each other casually - the two were not only Taoist colleagues, but also old acquaintances. Don't forget that Borneo and Luo Sazhou are neighbors, and at least half of Luo Sazhou's ore went to Borneo.
As the former chief deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Palace, Qi Xuansu was in charge of economics and trade. He had many contacts with Luo Suozhou, so he was not familiar with it.
no.
Ye Qingshuang is a female Taoist priest. The Taoist sect has been shouting about equality for so many years, but it has achieved some results. Shen knows that there are many women among the Taoists, such as Cihang Master Su Yuanyi, Li Ruoshui of the Imperial Palace Taoist House, and Ye Qingshuang, all of whom are women.
However, it is undeniable that men still account for the vast majority of the senior management, and the Taoist sect is essentially dominated by men. When it comes to the most fundamental power, no one is trying to behave like a gentleman, it all depends on ability.
This also reflects a very interesting phenomenon. In Taoism, the highest status and the lowest status are both male Taoist priests, showing a polarization trend. This also reflects the concept of competition between men, where the winner takes all and the loser gets nothing.
, cruel and vicious.
In fact, it can be seen as early as childhood. When girls are just ostracized, alienated, and isolated, boys may have already seen blood or even killed themselves. This is just a prototype, far from a mature state. It is created by two environments.
When men and women reach maturity, their competitiveness is naturally very different.
The pros and cons always go hand in hand. In a stable and orderly environment, although the upper limit of female Taoist priests is limited and it is difficult for them to touch the highest power, the lower limit is also guaranteed. In the worst case, they can still get married, which is more than those male Taoist priests who are as good as horses.
found a way out.
This is also the reason why so many female Taoist priests support Zhang Yuelu. The more they shout about equality, the more they believe it. They really hope that a female Taoist master can prove that female Taoist priests can hold up half the sky.
Seeing that it has become a foregone conclusion that Master Cihang will accompany him, in the end it will be Master Qingwei and Master Donghua who are fighting each other. We can only place our hope on the next generation. After all, there are two women, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, so the probability is much higher.
, these two people can’t be accompanied by Li Changge and Qi Xuansu, right? It’s not like Li Changge and Qi Xuansu are continuing the dispute between Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren of the previous generation, right?
In fact, Qi Xuansu also has advantages, and his level is higher. Zhang, Yao, and Li just represent the three major aristocratic families, but Qi Xuansu is the only one who comes from the bottom, and is the kind of low-level male Taoist priest who can't even afford a wife. For the huge Taoist priests from poor families
As a group, no matter whether you are a boy or a girl, you are still a young master and a young lady. Only Qi Xuansu is one of our own.
Although Qi Xuansu recognized the godmother of the Yao family and married the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, she was still better than the other three.
Don't underestimate this trend of thought. It can only reach a certain level of momentum and can truly influence the upper levels.
By coincidence, Ye Qingshuang was a Taoist priest from a poor family, so she was "assigned" to the "good place" of Luo Suozhou.
"I've been very busy lately and have low energy. I lay on the sofa for a while last night and planned to close my eyes. When I opened my eyes, it was already four o'clock in the morning. That's it for this month. I will strive for perfect attendance next month."
