"I'll be back!"

Wang Xuan yelled this sentence with internal strength, and everyone in the temple heard it clearly. For a while, the voice of Amitabha Buddha kept reminding him, this devil, come again, Buddha, send down the wrath of thunder and strike him dead !
While the old abbot's heart tightened, 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 Shaomu Temple. However, they will not kill them all. The matter is not so easy to pass, but it can be passed after it is not easy. It only depends on when the other party vents his anger and how much they have to pay.

Finally, the crisis of destroying the temple is over.

The old abbot turned around and walked back, a group of big monks and young monks all surrounded him, chattering non-stop, like a swarm of flies surrounding the abbot, which made the already irritable abbot even more annoyed.

The footsteps suddenly stopped, the whole person became gloomy, and the invisible momentum made the surroundings fall into silence. Everyone found something wrong and was too scared to speak.

"All, here, I, get out!!!"

The old abbot roared suddenly, the sound waves rolled, and the ears of the monks around him were buzzing, and they all froze in place in shock. For decades, the abbot had never seen such a big anger.

Stretching out his hand in the crowd, the people behind automatically moved out of the way, and the abbot just walked back with a gloomy face.

Back in the meditation room, he sat blankly on the futon. The abbot stared blankly at the front, but his mind was in chaos. How could things have developed into this way, and why did such a great enemy of Buddhism appear in the world.

Why should I provoke him!

No, it's all to blame for this devil. He is a devil. He was born to be an enemy of my Buddhism. It's not my problem. He must be the reincarnation of the devil ancestor Bo Xun.

Damn Wang Xuan, why didn't he die honestly!

How to do?
Can you kill him?

Uncle Shi is a top-notch master, although he is not yet in the peerless realm, but he is still one of the strongest in the world.

However, Wang Xuan must also be a top-notch expert, but I don't know what level he has reached.

No, don't be in a hurry, this time you must not be in a hurry, hold on tight, don't rush, we can win!

If you don't make a move, that's all. If you make a move, you must kill it with one blow, just like when you dealt with Sanwu for a week, you can't make a move without absolute certainty.

So, now it is tolerance, what can't be tolerated!
Either find an opportunity to destroy Wang Xuan in one fell swoop, or slowly kill Wang Xuan, and leave the task of prosperity to future generations.

It's just that there are many questions that the abbot can think of, and they are more treacherous than this old monk... No, Wang Xuan who has more experience can naturally think of it.

As the saying goes, Taoism prospers in troubled times, and Buddha prospers in prosperous times.

This makes sense. Since ancient times, in troubled times, Taoists have descended from the mountains to save the common people. Zuo Ci of the Three Kingdoms warned Cao Cao, and Yu Ji rescued the people. From Jiang Ziya in the Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty Xu Maogong and Li Jing from China, Miao Guangyi from the Song Dynasty, and Liu Bowen from the Ming Dynasty, as well as Zhuge Liang and Fan Li, are all Taoist figures. These figures are basically outstanding military strategists or statesmen.

In the fields of politics, military affairs, and diplomacy, the vertical and horizontal studies founded by Guiguzi, which tells the way of yin and yang, has cultivated famous military strategists and diplomats such as Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan. The world is afraid, one man is extinguished and the princes are at peace, and a three-inch tongue can reach a million heroes".

However, because of this, in the prosperous age, these people will naturally not be needed, or in other words, in the prosperous age, these people will become the source of cholera instead.

Didn't Lu Xun say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

These people are too capable, whether they are politicians or military strategists, they are the two types of people that rulers fear and guard against most!

Relatively speaking, Buddhist ideas are more favored by rulers, and have the ability to stabilize social order and quell social conflicts.

The way of expression is that Taoism seeks this life, and Buddhism seeks the afterlife.

Taoism pursues the present, the pursuit of immortality in this life, avoiding the world and avoiding karma.

Buddhism teaches people to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and to pursue the glory and wealth of the next life. The sufferings encountered in this life only need to be patient. They are all sins owed in the previous life, and you need to pay back in this life. Don’t think about resisting, just endure silently. After repaying the sins of the previous life, the next life will naturally be happy and healthy, but those who commit evil thoughts will go to the eighteenth level of hell, suffer the pain of reincarnation, and be worse than pigs and dogs in the next life.

This set of ideas is indeed conducive to social stability, increases the endurance of the people, reduces the resentment of the people, reduces the ability of social conflicts, and is welcomed by the rulers. This is also the reason why so many preferential policies have been given to Buddhism in the past.

Of course, there is no perfect good thing in the world. Buddhism has so many benefits, but it also has disadvantages, that is, it will gradually accumulate a lot of wealth, and the wealth circulating in society will become less and less.

After all, Buddhism itself cannot create wealth, and if money does not circulate, the economy will stagnate.

However, firstly, ancient economics was underdeveloped, and the rulers did not have a thorough understanding of it; secondly, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so Buddhism became more and more prosperous.

The way to change is to pay taxes. If you don’t charge heavy taxes for the one hundred thousand incense sticks, you will feel sorry for him.

However, it is not that simple to make monks pay taxes. This is the bottom line of these bald donkeys. Once touched, it will inevitably cause an uproar. Before he is sure, Wang Xuan dare not do it.

Early the next morning, the five hundred-member team came to Nanshaomu Temple again. The leader was Yu Leyou, accompanied by a bunch of tax collectors. When the abbot heard the news, he guessed that they were here to settle accounts with them.

There is no way, the form is better than people, so we can only start counting.

The abbot looked at Yu Leyou, still unwilling to set up friendship. They have been playing this trick for thousands of years, and they have always been successful. As long as the relationship is in place, they will naturally be able to pry a hole on Wang Xuan's side. If they can win the military power, then everything will be fine. .

"General Yu, let them do the calculations here, and the general will follow me inside to serve a cup of tea."

"No, I don't dare to leave my post without permission." Yu Leyou has also seen the warmth and coldness of people, so he naturally saw the meaning of the abbot, and said solemnly: "Nowadays is no different from the past. The laws and regulations in the army are extremely strict. of."

The abbot was taken aback for a moment, blinking and blinking, with a bewildered expression on his face... What's the matter?

"Cough cough." Yu Leyou coughed lightly, seeing that the surrounding soldiers were far away, he said in a low voice: "There are instructors in the army who are responsible for ideological work and teaching literacy."

Hearing this, the abbot turned pale with fright, this, this, how dare this Wang Xuan, this is to open up the wisdom of the people!
It has been the rule since ancient times that the people can let them know what they want, and no matter what the son thought back then, but in the entire feudal society, the policy of obscuring the people was emphasized. Even after the imperial examination, reading is still a matter. difficult thing.

In particular, it is not allowed to carry out popular education in the military and among the people.

After all, if you know too much, it's not easy to fool around... From the emperor to the ministers to the local big households, no one is willing to do this. It's better for the mud legs to cook leeks honestly. What do you know so much about!
These soldiers know too much, and their loyalty is too high. The generals in the army will not have 100% control, and many random orders will not be executed. 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 extremely expensive, and ordinary soldiers could not even get their salaries, let alone read and write.

However, in Wang Xuan's place, the cost is negligible. A large blackboard and a few boxes of chalk can get everything done.

The abbot sighed, and gave up on trying to win over Yu Leyou, but kept scolding Wang Xuan for being so cautious. In fact, the literacy rate in Fujian has been getting higher and higher in recent years. After all, Wang Xuan's promotion of local education is almost the same. For three years, especially in Fuzhou Prefecture, almost every village has a school.

"what!"

A sudden exclamation came, which startled the abbot and Yu Leyou, especially the abbot, who suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and his intuition told him that something serious happened!

The two hurried over, and the abbot hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Several tax collectors opened their eyes wide at this moment, looking terrified, pointing at the abacus with one hand, and pointing at the land deed with the other, babbling indistinctly.

"What's the matter, you guys are talking about it!" The abbot was anxious in his heart, and his words had brought inner strength, which made people's ears hurt.

It took a long time for the tax collectors to recover, and they looked at the abbot with pity in their eyes. They looked at each other, and the leader shook his head and said, "Master abbot, you have a total of [-] acres of land in this previous land lease. A thousand acres."

The abbot blinked and didn't understand what he meant. What's so surprising about it? It's just more than [-] mu. Isn't it surprising? After all, it was accumulated by the Song and Yuan dynasties. The two sides have been on both sides for many years, and the temple has obtained more land.

"This is [-] mu!" The tax collector's voice became sharper.

"So what, you said it!"

"This is a good paddy field. It can be harvested twice a year, and each season yields three stones per mu. According to the current calculation, it is 450 catties and up, and it can harvest six stones a year. Even if each stone is only sold for one tael of silver. , That is also six taels, 204000 mu is 250 taels, 5100 years, it is 1 million taels, double compensation is 200 million taels of silver!"

"hiss" "hiss" "hiss" "hiss"

There was a sound of breathing in the surroundings, as if all the air was being sucked out. This was simply too scary. How much is it... 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 pointed at the tax collector, his lips trembling, and then, "Oh~" he didn't come up in one breath, and fell to the ground with a "plop", splashing a piece of water. soot.

(Young master Kai, brother Kai will not say anything, thank you!)
