All Heavens: Get the Nine Swords at the start

Chapter 265 Arrangement
Li Ming taught Ying Zheng everything he knew. What kind of state Qin will become depends on what Ying Zheng does. There is nothing Li Ming can do to help him.

After the affairs of Qin State came to an end, Li Ming's next focus was almost entirely on Taoism.

With the expansion of Qin State's land area to South Vietnam, Li Ming finally got his wish and took Wanwan into his pocket. Some members of the Taoist school have been sent to the island to start the preliminary construction work.

All the laborers used in this construction were natives from the surrounding areas of South Vietnam. After seeing the prosperity of the Great Qin, almost all of them were full of energy.

In order not to become barbarians like them for future generations, many people can even be described as desperate when they work.

The reason is also very simple. If one of his descendants dies due to work during the labor process, one of his descendants can be allowed to leave his lowly status and become a citizen of Daqin. No wonder they worked so hard.

The area of ​​Wanwan Island is too big for Taoism. In order to increase the population of the island, Li Ming asked Yingzheng to ask for an edict. As long as those who participated in the construction of Wanwan Island are allowed to participate in the construction Those who performed well left their lowly status and settled in Wanwan Island on the spot.

As for what constitutes outstanding performance, it is naturally up to the people of Taoism to decide. If I say you are you, you are, and if you say you are not, you are not.

The purpose of doing this is to better screen out those loyal people. If a group of rebellious boys are attracted, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.

According to Li Ming's idea, after the completion of the construction of Wanwan Island, it will become the headquarters of Taoism, and it will develop around the place where the Zongmen settled down. The people who finally settle on the island must all believe in Taoism, preferably similar to fanatics. kind of.

On the other hand, the Taoism on the mainland has been transformed into a branch. Every three years, outstanding disciples can be selected to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference. It takes only three to five days to travel from Mount Taiyi to the coast of South Vietnam, and one day is enough time to cross the island.

After the Mo family completes the transformation of the organ Suzaku, it will be faster to take the organ Suzaku directly to Wanwan Island. Basically, it can be reached in a day or two.

Therefore, even if the headquarters is located in Wanwan, the influence of Taoism on the mainland has not weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, many people who want to worship Taoism or believe in Taoism are willing to give up their hometown and follow Taoism to settle in Wanwan Island.

Taoism is an unexpected derivative of Taoism. Originally, Li Ming had no intention of turning Taoism into Taoism. However, with the spread of "The Wilderness" among the people, the concept of Taoism gradually imprinted in the hearts of the people.

Affected by it, the people subconsciously began to visit the surrounding Taoist temples to worship and offer incense. As Li Ming's deeds gradually surfaced, his reputation among the people naturally began to skyrocket, especially in the hearts of the old Qin people. Yingzheng, the First Emperor.

At the beginning, because the Taoists did not take this matter to heart, most of those Taoist temples were also Taoist outer halls established in the local residences.

Because Taoist disciples have a requirement to chant scriptures and burn incense every day, these outer hall disciples themselves built the sitting statues of Sanqing in the temple for worship when they chant sutras on weekdays.

And in these places, people from the surrounding areas traveled thousands of miles to come to offer incense and pray almost every day. As time passed, the position of Taoism in the hearts of the people began to deepen, and it gradually evolved into what it is now.

Some greedy people saw an opportunity in this, and pretended to be Taoist disciples and set up Taoist temples to collect incense money.

While these people use Taoism's reputation among the people to benefit themselves, they also begin to tarnish the image of Taoism.

After Li Ming and other high-ranking Taoists learned about this, it was naturally impossible for these people to continue to tarnish the reputation of Taoism. They immediately summoned all the disciples in the sect to come out of the mountain.

Not only that, but also to find out the forces behind it and completely eradicate it.

After some actions, the evil ways scattered among the people were cleared up. Except for some desperate people in the world, no one in the hundred families dared to commit crimes against the wind.

However, this method is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Once Taoism retreats, it is impossible to guarantee that these people will not make a comeback. In order to completely solve this matter, Li Ming made a special trip to Xianyang to discuss the matter with Ying Zheng.

After the discussion between the two, a Taoist book similar to the degree was designed, and all Taoist disciples in Daqin would be recorded in the book and issued a Taoist book.

The seals of the Qin State and the Taoist school are on the Taoist records as evidence, and this is just the beginning. To open a Taoist temple requires not only the Taoist records, but also the consent of the Taoist school.

You can only choose a place to build a Taoist temple if you have the permission of Taoism and think you are qualified to open a Taoist temple. To build a Taoist temple there, you need to obtain the consent of the local government and draw a specific location.

Common people in the Taoist temple are not allowed to charge any fees when they come to offer incense. Of course, if there are wealthy families who are willing to donate generously, it is not impossible to charge fees. However, the money is thrown out of the daily necessities of the Taoist temple, and the rest of the money must be spent on on the local people.

If it is a disaster year, it will be used to help the people. Let’s talk about the current situation of Daqin. Even if it is a disaster year, as long as you have the official status of Daqin, you will not be hungry no matter what.

There is no other reason, just because with the efforts of Li Ming and Ying Zheng, this risk has been grafted onto other people.

In the current Daqin, even if there is no harvest for the whole year, the meat obtained from the surrounding area is basically enough to feed all the people of Daqin.

Among them, the main source of meat is of course the vast sea, where the Xuanwu that has been transformed by the Mohist fishes day and night.

The caught fish will be made into dried fish, and then transported to the Central Plains by air truck. If the storage conditions of completely dehydrated dried fish are good, it is basically not a problem to store them for a year.

Of course, as the population of Daqin continues to soar, it is impossible to meet the demand only by dried fish and meat, and more abundant crops need to be produced.

Of course, Li Ming also proposed a solution to this, but this solution requires the continuous efforts of generations.

The method is very simple. It is to set up an agricultural college to train people to study agriculture. If there is a "sage" among them, then things like famine will have nothing to do with Daqin.

However, this kind of idea is difficult to realize. Saints are not so easy to appear, let alone Huaxia. In the history of the world, there is only one person who can be canonized by agriculture.

It is no exaggeration to say that this saint in ancient times is famous and famous through the ages, that is only the most basic, and it feels a little light to say that he is a Buddha of all families...

The quality is not enough, and the quantity is enough, as long as they can achieve one percent of the saints, and the vast land of Qin State can basically satisfy the gradually expanding population.

It’s really not possible, isn’t there a third brother? The Indian continent is a world-renowned grain-producing area. As long as this land is included in the bag, with the advancement of technology, it should not be a problem to satisfy the appetite of more than one billion people.

If not enough, is the American continent plus Australia enough?
The food problem will eventually be resolved, as long as the territory is large enough, all problems will be no problem.

Speaking of America, Li Ming had always wanted to go to America to retrieve potatoes and sweet potatoes, but he died in the middle. It didn't mean that Li Ming didn't want to go, but that there wasn't much time left for him.

According to Li Ming’s estimate, it will take at least two years to go back and forth to America, because this is the first time to go, and everything is unfamiliar, and you need to enter the vast ice sheet of Siberia, and then cross the connected islands to enter the enclave of Alaska , This is not over yet. After entering the Americas, they have to look for seeds of crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and ensure that they return to the Central Plains safe and sound.

If there is an accident along the way, regardless of other things, it is only a question of whether the seeds brought back after spending a lot of effort can still survive, so it is only two years if everything goes smoothly. If there is a little accident for four or five years, it is not impossible.

It is impossible for Li Ming to leave the Taoist school alone and set off for America alone. The task of retrieving the potatoes and sweet potato seeds can only be handed over to Ying Zheng.

Of course, Li Ming is not without any preparations. Based on the general impression left over from his previous life, he drew a map of the world for Ying Zheng.

Fortunately, with the improvement of his cultivation, Li Ming's memory of his previous life became more and more profound, and the map he drew was roughly correct, but the distance was really difficult to grasp, so Li Ming simply didn't draw it.

There is no way, Li Ming did not study world geography in his previous life, and it is already his limit to be able to do this.

With the popularization of Taoism, the way for those who want to impersonate and use the name of Taoism to make money is basically cut off. Qin Law is notoriously strict. Although Ying Zheng has deliberately weakened the harsh punishment in Qin Law, but Its purpose has not changed.

In ancient times, the mobility of the population was extremely weak, and many people lived in one place all their lives. Even though there are scientific and technological creations such as gas vehicles, these things have not yet become popular among the people. Not much has changed.

Under the management of the native place system, any movement of population within a county needs to be approved, not to mention that the establishment of a Taoist temple first needs to be drawn by the local government. In this case, it is impossible for someone to pretend to be a Taoist disciple to open The Taoist temple is collecting money.

Taoism is not only good for Taoism, but also has disadvantages, because, in this way, the general situation of Taoism is basically under the control of Qin State.

As long as the disciples of the sect leave Taiyi Mountain, they first need to apply for Taoist registration. It is impossible to put on a Taoist robe to advertise that they are Taoist disciples like before.

In fact, this was something that Li Ming did not intend to do, because the influence of Taoism is too great now, and it has even been shaken to the point where Ying Zheng has control over Qin.

Because Taoism is no longer just a simple sect or a school of thought, but a huge force that integrates economics, politics, culture and other fields.

First of all, economically, Taoism relies on the "highway" to control the transportation hubs of the world. It also has the two profitable industries of wine and tea, as well as the final interpretation of the calendar. The richest man in the world is not worth mentioning in front of Taoism.

If not, how could Li Ming have the confidence to build large-scale construction projects on Wanwan Island with only his family.

Although the Baiyue laborers in charge of the construction do not need too much extra cost, the most basic living materials still need to be guaranteed. Besides, these people will need to stay and settle in Wanwan Island later, so it is naturally impossible not to give them a penny. At least a few hundred thousand words should be given a month.

Politically, although the White Deer Academy has been completed, the lower court in Taiyi Mountain is still the best choice for Qin officials to study.

There is no other reason. After the first batch of disciples in the current academy came out of the mountain, the whole Qin country was almost shaken. These people possessed all kinds of knowledge. At the same time, because of the Taoist regulations, they needed to travel to the countryside before graduation. The same is not lacking.

Not to mention the strength value, the status of warriors, especially the status of warriors who have cultivated true energy, is far above that of pure literati.

Besides, the Qin and Han Dynasties favored martial arts, and the literati of this era were not those who could kill the enemy on horseback and compose poems on horseback.

It may be that the legalists are slightly weaker in terms of force value, such as: Han Fei and Li Si, Shen Buhai and Shang Yang, etc...

The other members of the hundred schools, who didn't hang their swords from their waists, just drew their swords to fight against each other, and staged a full-scale martial arts on the spot.

Confucian Confucian scholars are even more uncompromising in this regard. Today’s Confucian scholars have not evolved into weak and incompetent literati in later generations. Under the influence of Confucius, these Confucian scholars are all people with explosive force values. .

After all, "Fan Ma" Confucius is not called for nothing...

With the precedent of Confucius, basically no one dares to underestimate Confucianism in terms of force value.

Under the blessing of various reasons, the disciples who failed to be promoted to the upper court, except for some who wanted to continue to practice in Taoism, almost all entered the court of the Qin Dynasty.

For the current officials, these people are simply crushing in all directions, and because these people are all members of the Taoist family, they are born with a good impression in Yingzheng's heart, and Fusu, who has already confirmed that he will definitely ascend the throne in the future They are also disciples from the lower court of Taoism.

The speed of promotion of these people can be imagined, so the influence of Taoism on the court of Qin State is definitely not as simple as it is now.

As for learning, Taoism is originally a member of a hundred schools of thought, and the famous Huang-Lao school of thought is a clone of Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Confucianism, Mohism, etc...

The hundreds of schools that emerged later were actually more or less influenced by Taoism. Even when Yang Zhu was prosperous before Confucianism and Mohism, he also insisted on passing on his own origin and desperately relied on Taoism.

However, because the Taoist sage Zhuangzi firmly opposed this matter at that time, he classified Yang Zhu into the alternative school, which eventually led to a group of hundreds of schools to attack, and Zhuangzi personally made up the last knife for the Yang Zhu school.

If it weren't for the relationship between Li Ming and Ying Zheng, and Li Ming has been doing his best to help Ying Zheng consolidate Da Qin's rule, if it were someone else, Qin's tiger and wolf division would have blocked the door. ...
