Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4165: Lay down the country and let the world

Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "Our religion preaches five buckets of rice for mutual aid, and it's the same for sitting in the world. We can distribute the fields to believers so that they can support themselves. As for taxes, even if you join the religion, you have to pay five buckets of rice and incense money. , in order to supply those senior brothers who don’t plant the land, but protect and manage them, masters, what’s wrong with paying a certain amount of output? Even these lands were allocated to them by the gods, so paying taxes is not a problem. Should it?"

"Even if you don't talk about paying taxes, how about changing the name, changing the soup without changing the medicine, such as mutual aid, sincerity rice, etc., wouldn't it be enough? This country was laid down for them by the God Sect, and the land was also distributed by the God Sect Theirs, if it pays off, why can’t it work? We don’t have so many descendants in the divine religion, and the children of the aristocratic family need to support them. At that time, the positions of office in the religion should be controlled, not too many, and it’s over?”

Xu Daofu shook his head: "Second brother, do you really think that our **** religion can not be passed down to descendants, and everything is really closed after becoming a monk?"

Lu Xun's face changed slightly, and he didn't immediately respond to this sentence.

Xu Daofu said sternly: "Our divine religion, from the beginning of Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, has been held by Zhang's descendants for generations. Later, after the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the position of leader was transferred to the Sun family. It has been controlled by the Sun family for decades. , until Sun En's army failed and was replaced by us."

"Second brother, your whole family has also joined the religion. Your father and several nephews all hold important positions in the religion, but from your own perspective, most of the senior disciples in the religion are also members of the whole family. It can be said that Be more polite, our divine religion is just a noble family in Taoist robes, if we really seize the world and don't give up the power, then we will definitely become the new Xie family of the royal family."

Lu Xun sighed: "This is because the teaching of our divine religion is that one person cultivates the Tao, and the whole family will be blessed. This has been the case since the ancestor. Although we have built a Taoist temple and have a large number of disciples, we have not competed with the powerful families. The extent of the territory cannot afford the favor of only one person to the low-level congregants. Therefore, only by relying on this kind of mutual assistance of the whole family can we recruit believers at the bottom, and then let them exempt from Some tenant farmers’ tax and corvée and the like meet really ruthless guys, and only by paying to subsidize these people themselves can they establish personal favor among the people.”

Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "It's a kindness to exempt them from taxes and taxes, but it's an enmity to make them pay taxes and taxes. We have been in Guangzhou all these years, do those people pay taxes willingly? Alien barbarians They relied on the coercion of the tribal chiefs to collect them, and the Han people were also managed by the elders of the clan village. The reason why they obeyed was not because they believed in our teachings, but because they were frightened by the Jingguan outside Guangzhou. , know what the result of confronting us will be.”

Lu Xun sneered and said, "In this case, after we gain power, we can continue to build our prestige. Why do we have to buy people's hearts? It's also a way to buy people's hearts. It's just a matter of controlling the degree."

Xu Daofu hooked the corner of his mouth: "That being said, since when we were in Guangzhou, we used the elders of the Han people and the chiefs of the barbarians, Qu Shuai, to govern on our behalf. Why can't we do this when we conquer the world? When we were in Guangzhou, Those secular rulers persecute the people, but when our big brothers went to the tribe to spread the Dharma, they distributed rice and preached the kindness of the heavenly master. Isn’t this what makes people obey. We went north this time, and there were more than 30,000 barbarians The strong men took the initiative to follow, if it was us who managed directly, how could they be so active?"

Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "That's because they were originally hereditary management. We didn't regard Guangzhou as a long-term foundation, and we didn't want to take away their management rights. But if we really rule the world and establish a dynasty, that is Another thing is, how can we allow these forces that are not our own to control the grassroots and directly manage the people? Back then, we controlled the people through this space of surrogate governance, so how could we let people follow our old path?"

Xu Daofu nodded: "So, we might as well give up the power of the world, continue to let these powerful families and landlords manage the people, and let them do evil things like tax collection and offending others. Do it, let's continue to act the way we used to give favors, shall we?"

Lu Xun frowned: "Giving up the management power in the world means giving the handle to others, like Sima Yuanxian who attacked Sun Tai and destroyed my **** religion, you

How to deal with it? "

Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "Giving up the management rights in the world does not mean disarming our **** religion and letting others slaughter you! Ah, we can make an agreement with the successor rulers that they will do things like levy and tax. But we are responsible for the establishment and management of the army, all the military supplies are provided by them after collecting taxes, and the training ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ organization of the army, as well as daily management, are in our hands , in the name of serving Tianl coins, let the people train for military service, and practice to become a god, isn’t that all right?”

Lu Xun hesitated slightly: "It can still be done like this? But without the army, which ruler would be willing?"

Xu Daofu's eyes flashed coldly: "If the world was brought down by rulers like them, then naturally they would not be willing, but if the country is brought down by our divine religion, then there is no way for them to bargain, there will always be someone who is willing to cooperate like this .”

Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "Also, what you said is that the army is in our hands and we will manage it, but if there is a war, people will die. You said that Liu Yu was aggressive and let other people's children go into battle. How can we win the trust of others when we have to do this kind of thing ourselves when we shed blood and sacrificed ourselves?"

Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "When the time comes to improve the treatment of the army, the people will have to pay taxes, and the soldiers will not have to pay. They can even be given high subsidies so that they can become rich after serving as soldiers. It's like a marriage between heaven and man. After retiring from the army, you will have the benefits of homesteading and the like. Start doing more, so that everyone wants to join the army and protect education. Isn’t this the end? Even if there is a war in the country, we will not be responsible for commanding the war, and let these things be left to the court In this way, the responsibility for death and injury does not lie with our divine religion. In a word, it is good for others, not doing sinners, and controlling the army so that it can protect itself. In this way, there is nothing to worry about ?

Lu Xun looked at Xu Daofu motionlessly, and after a long time, he sighed: "Daofu, do you think these thoughts yourself, or did the cloak or the black robe teach you, I want to be honest. "
