People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 235 People's Needs, Immortal Product Manager
Zhang Yi briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Xie suddenly realized.

"The host is indeed a bit of a judge!

It's just that the little real person made a fuss today, and I'm afraid there will be many legends left behind! "

Mrs. Xie said, as if thinking of something, she covered her mouth and smiled.

"There are actually quite a few people who want to go to the little real person for a mirror this year, but it's just for the New Year's Eve, because of your reputation, no one will go there on the first day of the new year!
If not, those close friends of mine would probably be contemplating with a pure mind today!

I thought the real person would be busy today, but I didn't expect you to have time to come to the Buddhist temple!
look……"

Mrs. Xie pointed to some noble ladies who hadn't come over from a distance, and smiled meaningfully.

Zhang Yi was curious:

"I don't know what my reputation is, so they don't dare to go to my Taoist temple on New Year's Day?"

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, but the Xu family girl was not polite to Zhang Yi, she said:
"You yourself told Master Yang in the Confucian Mansion that you only look at disasters and catastrophes, not wealth!

So you still have a Taoist name in Yingtian, called Calamity Star Taoist!
Anyway, what comes out of your mouth is no good! "

There was a faint emotion in Xu's girl's voice, and Zhang Yi laughed.

He also set up this persona on purpose, but he didn't sound angry when he heard it.

The New Year's Day temple fair is just a day for fun for people like him who traveled through time.

But for the people of this era, no matter the common people or the nobles, today is an important day.

Pray to the gods and bless the next year of peace, no one dares to joke about this incident lightly.

The king also wants to offer sacrifices to heaven in the Taimiao today, and other people also pray to the gods in various ways.

Some people worship Buddha, while others admire Taoism.

Most common people don't really care about beliefs. Most common people in China pay attention to pragmatic beliefs.

You bless me and I will give you incense and gilt your body. If you don't work, I will throw my god statues into the river for you.

This is a fine tradition of the Han family since ancient times.

But no matter what kind of belief they are, they probably won't run into bad luck on the first day of the new year and go to Zhang Yi, who claims to be a disaster star.

Zhang Yi figured this out and laughed happily.

"Seeing you today, I should have invited the little real person and Mrs. Zhang to sit in the mansion, but later I wait for someone with a mandate to enter the palace!

Mrs. Zhang, let me take my leave today, and Mrs. Xie will visit again tomorrow! "

Mrs. Zhang is also someone who has seen the world, she bowed her head and replied:

"Mrs. Guo is polite, it should be us who came to visit..."

After experiencing this turmoil, everyone lost interest in playing.

As the master, Zhang Yi comforted Mrs. Li, and then took his younger brothers and sisters back.

"After all, this Ming Dynasty is not a future generation, bullying men and women, and human life is like grass!

I was careless today and didn't bring Lao Mo here!
If those monks pounce on me, I will probably suffer! "

On the way back, Zhang Yi bowed his head and reflected.

From the encounter between Li Shi and himself today, he must understand that the ancient times are different from the future generations he lives in.

Looking at Li Shi again, seeing that she was still in shock, Zhang Yi could only sigh silently.

What happened today probably revived her previous memories. The so-called beauty is unlucky.

The carriage returned slowly, and when they arrived at Qingxin Temple, Zhang Yi was startled by the flow of people in front of him.

He had never seen such a bustling Qingxin Temple, and it could even be said that the crowds of this Taoist temple almost rivaled that of the Tianjie Temple.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yi decisively chose to run away and entered the Taoist temple through the back door of Yaoyuanzi.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw Lao Zhang running in in a panic.

When had Zhang Normal seen such a scene?
The enthusiasm of the people almost overwhelmed him.

After Lao Zhang fled back, he was speechless when he first saw Zhang Yi who walked through the back door.

"I don't know how to draw symbols!"

One sentence from Zhang Yi blocked the father's idea of ​​dispatching him.

"There are a lot of these people..."

"Well, it's probably the source of customers I snatched from Tianjie Temple..."

Zhang Yi told Lao Zhang about the small disturbance in Tianjie Temple, and Zhang normal sneered:
"These monks, dogs see people as inferior!
The emperor was a monk, so he still has a little bit of incense for Buddhism!

This Tianjie Temple will be the number one sacred place of my Daming Buddhism in the future, no wonder the monks there have eyes above the top!

It's just that it's not good where you go, why did you take your mother and the others to visit the Tianjie Temple? "

"Because the Taoist priests in Yongshou Palace probably hate our old Zhang family more than the monks in Tianjie Temple..."

Lao Zhang was so stunned by Zhang Yi's words that he couldn't answer for a long time. He was stunned for a long time and laughed angrily.

In a way, this kid has a point!

Although the Taoist priests of Yongshou Palace are also under the rule of Longhushan in name, but because of some chances, they are actually regarded as rebellious branches of Longhushan.

Although it can't be said to hate Longhushan's direct lineage, it certainly can't be said to welcome it! .

This involves the struggle between the former disciples of Longhu Mountain and the family, all of which are beyond the understanding of outsiders.

Zhang normal thought for a while and said:

"Although in Yingtian Mansion, nothing major will happen!
But if you have nothing to do, don't go to the Taoist temples and temples outside!
Now the emperor forbids monkhood, so we can go out and walk casually together!

And it means that our Longhushan lineage can walk freely!

Just this matter itself, is envied by colleagues all over the world!

If you go to Tianjie Temple, it's normal for people to dislike you! "

Zhang Yi nodded, he is not someone who refuses to admit his mistakes, Lao Zhang out of concern for himself, he can accept it calmly.

"However, you did not take the name of Taoist Calamity Star wrongly, where did you go and what happened?
If you go out for a walk, it will also cause trouble for your father!
After the sacrifice at the Emperor's Ancestral Temple, Huitan and I will go to the palace to pay respects to the Emperor!
Goodbye today, I'm afraid I'm going to argue with him again! "

Zhang Normal changed the subject:
"Those people from the Buddhist sect have run on your father a lot in the previous dynasty. Back then, I knew that the Buddhist sect was powerful, so I usually endured it!
If they dare to speak again today, if I say Buddha to a powerful person, let's see how he responds? "

Zhang Normal can only express his emotions so emotionally in front of Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi smiled, he reckoned that Lao Zhang had suffered a lot in the previous court.

Don't look at the lineage of the Tianshi Mansion who has won the emperor's favor and is in charge of Taoism in the world.

However, Taoism itself also belongs to the position of the younger brother in the system of the Yuan Dynasty.

Buddhism and Confucianism are the real bosses.

Mongolians don't believe in Confucianism, but they respect religion very much.

For all faiths, it basically gives good benefits.

Just like the status of Confucianism in the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols were actually treated as a religion.

That's why the Kong family, as mascots, will be used by the Mongols.

It is not surprising that Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which is obviously religious, developed in the Yuan Dynasty.

But among all religions, Buddhism is the father!

Not to mention the faction of Tubo, even the Buddhist sect in Han area is also the best in stabilizing the Taoist sect.

The reason why the Taoist sect can't lift its head is largely related to the loss of the Buddhist and Taoist debate at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

The former Daoist sect was the leader of Quanzhen Dao, and the emperor replaced the old Zhang family.

People in the old Zhang family are more aware of current affairs, and they will not compete with Buddhism for the so-called orthodoxy.

This tradition of nearly a hundred years has continued, the Taoist school has long been withered, but the Buddhist school is full of eminent monks!
This also led to Lao Zhang always bowing his head when facing the Buddhist leaders.

Huitan became the abbot of Tianjie Temple, and he is the No.1 of Buddhism today.

Today, Zhang Yi gave Daoist a face, and Lao Zhang was very happy in private.

"By the way, the popularity of the Medicine King Taishang is indeed very high!
If you are free, how about writing a ritual for me?
How can Longhushan seize this opportunity? "

When Zhang Normal came back this time, the most obvious feeling was that the belief of the Medicine King Taishang was much more terrifying than he imagined...

The Taishang Laojun was originally a Taoist Sanqing, supreme.

Although such gods are high in the belief system, they are not very popular among the people.

Zhang Normal has been a Taoist priest all his life, and he understands one thing, which is that which god can become popular depends entirely on luck.

And there are not many Taoist gods who can reach the level of Amitabha, Guanyin, and Zhunti.

If you can seize the opportunity of Yao Wang Taishang, not to mention that the Zhang family in Longhushan can go a step further and win the hearts of the people!

Even the entire Taoist sect can sweep away the century-old humiliation of the Taoist sect because of the Medicine King Taishang.

It's just that he wanted to seize this outlet, but he didn't know where to start.

Zhang Yi chuckled and replied:
"On this point, we are not as smart as Buddhism. It's actually quite simple. Father, if you find out the needs of the common people, you will know why some gods are popular!
Among them, what are the people outside asking for?
Wealth, safety, health, appeasement of fear, etc., these are their specific needs.

Most of the gods who became popular among the people met their needs in some aspect!
For example, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who rescues suffering and suffering, seeks peace...

Amitabha, who guides sentient beings to the pure land, satisfies people's need for fear of death!
If we regard what we do as a business!
Immortals are commodities in our hands!
Taishang Laojun didn't become popular, why did our medicine king Taishang become popular?
The word "King of Medicine" is the key!
So if we Longhushan want to keep the golden signboard of Yao Wang Taishang, we must start in this aspect!

Moreover, relying on the word "King of Medicine" alone is not enough!

We also need to expand the power of interpretation of the "Tai Shang" Sutra!
I think the scripture "Tai Shang" is still too heavy for the common people!

You can definitely expand something later and compile a simpler scripture...

At least it is best to be widely praised!
Taishang can become popular because the emperor promoted vaccination, and once the promotion of vaccination is over, if we can't stand up the king of medicine, Taishang!

I'm afraid it will be empty to fetch water from a bamboo basket! "

"How about this, I will write you a copy of the rituals and scriptures, and even the libretto about the King of Medicine, I will also write you a copy, you can find someone to sing more, after the folks become popular, they can also drive Great faith!"

Zhang Normal asked casually, and he also knew that Zhang Yi was not very interested in religious matters.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Yi could start from the business point of view and give him more advice.

This kid is fine, but Lao Zhang just feels a little weird. Is it really okay to compare gods to commodities?
But Zhang Yi's analysis made Lao Zhang enlightened.

If you accurately pick out the selling points of the immortals, you can accurately push the immortals out.

Knowing why Yao Wang Taishang is so popular, Lao Zhang probably also understands what he will do in the future.

"Why do you know so much?"

"Father, in fact, this fairy and the old bustard on the Qinhuai River push the girl for the same reason, design a persona, and then target different groups, turning the girl into a commodity that rich businessmen spend a lot of money on!

In this transaction, the girl is not a person, but a commodity!

And here we Taoist priests are, in fact, not bad!

Know the selling points of the products, to continue and consolidate their selling points!

Such people in later generations are called product managers!

Our father and I made the king of medicine, and we can be regarded as the product managers of gods..."

Zhang Yi had a hippie smile on his face, but Lao Zhang was frightened.

It is true to say so, but there are gods in the sky!
His buttocks moved involuntarily, for fear of getting too close to this kid, in case Lei Gong came down and killed the little bastard with a thunderbolt, he would catch himself.

"Don't blame the gods, don't blame the ancestors, children's words are free, children's words are free!

My son's original intention was also to promote my Taoism..."

After Lao Zhang silently prayed for Zhang Yi, he couldn't help asking:

"Even operas are arranged, so what's the situation?"

Yuanqu, a form of entertainment, has not been completely replaced by storytelling novels.

In terms of story-based novels, Zhang Yi is already preparing to arrange "Fengshen Yanyi" to become a parody of "Journey to the West"!

But when it comes to promoting Yao Wang Tai, Zhang Yi feels that opera is more contagious.

The emperor has now promoted simplified Chinese characters, but after all, there are still a majority of illiterates. The industry of storytellers, because story-based novels have not really become popular, has not become popular for the time being.

Opera is one of the few ways of entertainment for the common people!
It is also the best way to promote.

Zhang Yi casually changed a copy of the libretto.

Lao Zhang picked it up and looked at it, he was stunned.

"Too Supreme Heavenly Master..."

Zhang Normal was dumbfounded when he saw the name of this libretto!

When he read the lyrics above, he was even more confused.

This kid really dared to write, Lao Zhang hummed a few lines, and he was actually catchy.

"This libretto seems too vulgar?"

Zhang Normal thought for a long time and put forward his own opinion.

"Vulgar is good, not vulgar, can the common people understand?

What we want is the hearts of the people, not flattery, and don't I also take care of someone's emotions? "

Zhang normal smiled, as if what he said was right.

He wanted to discuss with Zhang Yi for a while, but Zhang Yi reminded him:

"Father, it's time for you to prepare to enter the palace!"

On New Year's Day, the Son of Heaven offered sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, and when he came back, it was time to receive officials.

Lao Zhang can be regarded as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, so he will naturally go to see the emperor, not only him, but also the wives who have orders, will also enter the palace to meet the queen...

This is etiquette, not to be neglected.

Zhang Normal was reminded by Zhang Yi, and quickly asked someone to clean up for him.

He avoided the crowd and set out from the back door.

Go all the way to the palace gate.

In the imperial palace at this time, hundreds of officials came to court.

Many officials who had seen Lao Zhang had different expressions.

After Zhang Yi rescued Kong Kejian, some officials had objections to Lao Zhang, but there were also many people who began to show goodwill.

Zhang normal responded to these officials humbly, and then found that someone in the distance also became the center of the crowd.

He recognized that guy, it was the protagonist he had talked with Zhang Yicai!

Tianjie Temple, Monk Huitan!

The eyes of the two met, and they could feel the vague hostility towards each other.
