Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 187
"This——" Du Changshi was stunned. It is true that the temples in Baekje, Goguryeo, Silla, and Waguo were not only religious centers, but also academic centers. When the Tang army entered Sibi City, it was found in Dinglin Temple. A large number of various books were collected, and there were also many monasteries and academies for monks to teach and exchange knowledge. Of course, some of these book academies were transported back to the Tang Dynasty, and most of the rest were destroyed and lost.

"Then it's not good to let them all become monks?"

"There can also be lay disciples in the monastery. Even if you become a monk, can't you return to the lay?" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"Where do the books, teachers, and venues come from? Also, what are you going to teach them?"

"I remember that there are still some books in the Dudu's Mansion. As for the Master, I plan to post a notice to recall the escaped monks. As long as they are willing to come back and respect the Tang Dynasty, then they will forget the past. As for what to teach, it will be the same as that of the prefectural and county schools. Almost, reading, writing, arithmetic, Buddhist scriptures, scriptures (here refers to the Confucian classics "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn", etc.)!"

Du Shuang thought for a while, and found that Wang Wenzuo really couldn't find any flaws in what Wang Wenzuo said, so he nodded and said resentfully: "That's the only way to go, but Wang Canjun, you are too kind to these Baekje people, right?" ?”

"Really? Ha ha!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Du Changshi, when I was a child, I once heard a sentence from a teacher: When dealing with the enemy, we should clench our fists tightly, and if the enemy is knocked to the ground and stretches out his hand to beg for mercy, we will We have to loosen our fists and pull them up! These people are the first batch of people who voluntarily surrendered, and the money and food they spent are collected from them anyway, so why not do it?"

"Expropriated from them? Wang Canjun, what do you mean?"

"Dinglin Temple is a famous ancient temple in Baekje. It is said that when the king of Baekje moved his capital to Sibi, Dinglin Temple was built before the king's city was completed. Most of the coffins of princes and relatives in the past were buried in the cemetery in the temple. If we release It is rumored that Dinglin Temple will be rebuilt, and the people of Baekje will definitely contribute their efforts!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"It's very simple. First of all, let Master Huicong hold a Dharma meeting, saying that it is to celebrate the down payment of the old capital of Xiongjin. There must be many people from the surrounding Baekje people. At the Dharma meeting, let Master Huicong set the reconstruction plan. Lin Si, if you tell me about the preparations for the young people in Baekje to study, I think the people of Baekje will definitely contribute their food and effort!"

"You have a good idea!" Du Shuang nodded, subconsciously stroking the gold belt around his waist with his right hand: "It's just that the rebels haven't subsided yet, so it's too early to be busy repairing martial arts?"

"Du Changshi, I think it's not the case. It's not too early, but too late. If General Manager Su had captured Sibi City, he would have sealed off his treasury, reduced or exempted taxes, promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages, and repaired the cultural system. , Praise the sages, we will not be where we are today!"

Du Shuang was not surprised to hear Wang Wenzuo accusing Su Dingfang like this, anyway, it was not the first time, he just smiled: "Some things have already passed, no one can start over from the beginning, we can only do The matter at hand!"

"This is what we should do now!" Wang Wenzuo's eyes were firm: "Right now we are fighting with Fuyu Fengzhang not only for victory or defeat on the battlefield, but also for people's hearts, to be precise, the people's hearts of Baekje. The state has been in existence for hundreds of years, the city wall of Sibi is strong, the treasury is piled up like a mountain, and the money and food can be used for three years. With Goguryeo and Wa as foreign aid, it is not weak, but it was defeated by our army. But the ancestral temple was a ruin; after the country was destroyed, when Fukunobu Onishi and Hei Chi Changzhi fled into Rencun Mountain, there were no more than a dozen people around them, and within ten days there were thousands of them, only some wooden sticks and bamboo spears, Standing on the mountain fence as a defense, General Manager Su sent troops to besiege us but couldn’t go down. A few months later, he surrounded us in the city of Sibi to eat rats. Why did the success or failure change, and the achievements were opposite? The offensive and defensive momentum is different without benevolence and righteousness! Just like today To seize Yu Fengzhang's soul, to lose his mind, to rely on the power of the Japanese to kill heroes in vain, and to betray his people, we should do the opposite, punish those who rebel, and comfort those who obey, is the way to win!"

"Wang Canjun, what you said is the right way!" Du Shuang took a deep look at Wang Wenzuo, as if seeing him for the first time: "Be careful, his future is limitless!"

"That's Dinglin Temple!" Wang Pu looked at a dilapidated old temple not far away, holding a dry biscuit in his hand, and said while chewing, full of disappointment.

"Put away the pancakes!" Wang Po looked angrily at his youngest brother, "Whoever makes you talk while eating, has no education at all, and you've completely embarrassed our Wang family!"

"Have you lost your face?" Wang Pu is 14 years younger than Wang Pu, and only a little higher than Wang Pu's elbow. He put the dry biscuit he gnawed into his pocket and said, "But brother, don't you always do this? Why? What do you mean I have completely humiliated the Wang family?"

"Where am I? You are in Dinglin Temple! Do you understand? Dinglin Temple, in the past they were all people who came here, big men like kings, queens, Zuoping, and Eunsu, understand?" Looking at Brother Yao This foolish look made Wang Po very angry. As the first few village chiefs who took refuge in the Tang people—yes, his village now has forty or fifty households with a population of more than 200, which can be regarded as a medium-sized village. , he is also qualified to send a son to Dinglin Temple to study, because his son is still too young, so he uses his younger brother instead.

Wang Po, who had just heard the news, could hardly believe his ears. When will someone from the Wang family who have been farming and digging food for generations go to a place like Dinglin Temple to study?He was almost jealous of his fourth brother who knew nothing.

"But I only saw that dilapidated house?" Wang Pu wiped the corner of his mouth, which was covered with crumbs: "Brother, you said that there are four or five people tall, and the shining golden Bodhisattva statue makes your neck sore. I can’t even see the tower on the top, and the great monks wearing silk and satin. Why didn’t I see anything? Brother, you still talk about kings, queens, pinzos, etc., but how can there be? Are you lying to me? ah!"

"Shut up, you idiot!" Wang Po yelled angrily, "What I just said was the past, did you hear me clearly? The past!"

"In the past? So it's gone now?" Wang Pu shook his head in disappointment: "Brother, you still said you didn't lie to me, but now you really have nothing. I want to go home! Oops!"

"Go home?" Wang Pu gave his younger brother a heartbeat: "Do you know how many people want to come but can't come? If it weren't for the virtues of my ancestors, I became the head of this village. General Tang Ren showed mercy and rebuilt Dinglin Temple and opened a school." , you want to come here even if you have mud legs that poke cow's buttocks? Now there are no golden statues of Bodhisattvas, no tall stupas, no kings, and no Saping, but there will always be in the future. The problem is that if there are now, Is it your turn to be a bastard? If you dare to mention half a word to go home, believe it or not, I will not give you food!"
