Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186 Worshiping Dayu and Conferring Zen to Kuaiji

After watching the big ship in Shanghai Port, Zhang Yi began to inspect Wujun and Danyang counties.

Visit the counties to see how the officials are governing, see if there are bandits making troubles, see the folk customs and living conditions in various places, and see the implementation of laws and regulations and the popularization of education in various places.

He doesn't have the ability to make all the places prosperous now, but he also needs to understand first to prepare for the future.

The county magistrates in Wu County are basically descendants of aristocratic families, the most being the Gu family and the Zhang family.The four surnames in Wuzhong are really not bragging. Now the Gu family has risen. Although Zhang Wen of the Zhang family has not grown up, there are many talents in the branch of the Zhang family, and they are all people who have not been named in history. Zhang Yi wants to find out properties cannot be found.

The Zhu family ranks first among the four surnames in Wuzhong, but most of them follow martial arts.Zhu Zhi is their representative, and most of his nephews are also on duty in the army.

The Lu family also showed signs of rising. Lu Xun was highly valued by Zhang Yi, and Lu Ji, who was only [-] or [-] years old, was hailed as a genius by Wu Jun, and Gu Shao was hailed as the leader of Wu Jun's new generation.It can be seen from this that the Lu family must have a high lintel in the future.

The situation in Danyang County is also similar. If Li Hongzhang wants to govern Danyang well, he naturally has to promote a group of wealthy and powerful people from aristocratic families.

After Zhang Yi arrived in Danyang County, he also wanted to see if he could get any famous historical figures, but he couldn't find any.

After a tour in Danyang County, Zhang Yi had another discussion with Li Hongzhang in Wanling.To be honest, putting Li Hongzhang here is really overkill.Not only Li Hongzhang, but even Fan Zhongyan and Hua Xin are a bit of a pity to be placed there.But there is no way, there are not many people who can reassure him.

Zhang Yi also inspected the paper mill, which has already taken shape.The quality of the paper produced is also about the same, but Zhang Yi did not sell it to outsiders.

Movable type printing is also being studied here. Of course, wooden movable type has been developed, but clay type is still under development.However, wooden movable type still has some defects. After some printing, wooden movable type has to be re-engraved.

A lot of books have been hoarded here, but now is not the time to spread them to the outside world, and some time needs to be accumulated, and we will wait until two years later.

The defense of the paper mill is very strict, and they are all secretly defended. It is Shi Qian who guards here.As the veteran of Zhang Yi's subordinate Shi Qian, although his ability is not very strong, he has a high reputation, and Li Hongzhang will give him face.

Fast forward to June, and Zhang Yi received a letter from Wang Shouren.Zhang Yi immediately went to Shanyin, and the Fengchan Terrace on Kuaiji Mountain had been built.

It can be said that Kuaiji Mountain has been very famous since ancient times, especially Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface, and Kuaiji Mountain has been passed down through the ages.

At the Fengchan Terrace on Kuaiji Mountain, Zhang Yi bathed and burned incense for three days, finally put on a dress, and then went up to the stage to worship Dayu, and then respected Dayu as the Xuanhuang Emperor.

After performing Feng Chan, Zhang Yi poked and promoted Yu Fan to be the prefect of Kuaiji County, and appointed Wang Shouren as the governor of Kuaiji County.Then Luling, Ganxian, Nanye, and Yu in the south of Yuzhang were divided into Luling County, and Lu Dai was appointed as the prefect of Luling County.

Zhang Yi returned to Shouchun after finishing his meditation, and brought back the Luo family at the same time.He was in a hurry to go back and marry a new wife!
After Feng Chan finished, Wang Shouren began to implement the plan.

Sun En went directly to Wushang County and began to preach in Wushang County.

When Taoism took shape, it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.The first No.1 to religiousize Taoism should be Zhang Daoling.The No. 1 person who promotes Taoism should be Zhang Jiao.

The reason why Taoism is religious may also be influenced by Buddhism.It has to be said that the birth of many Taoist gods is related to Buddhism.

Sanqing, for example, was actually established by studying the past, present, and future Buddhas of Buddhism.Another example is the Four Heavenly Kings, who were originally Buddhist gods, but were later brought over by Taoism.

The imitation and capture of these gods all show one thing, that is, the self-esteem of the Chinese people is at work.After all, Buddhism is a foreign religion, an imported product.

The development of Buddhism in this period was related to the support of the rulers.Ever since Ming Emperor Mengshen obtained Buddhist scriptures and dharma from the Western Regions, the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a lot of support for Buddhism.

The White Horse Temple in Luoyang was the first temple in China, and it was also a place frequented by the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty.The so-called good from the top must be followed by the bottom. The emperor likes Buddhism, the ministers will like Buddhism, and the aristocratic families will also like Buddhism.

The earliest printing technology was invented for printing Buddhist scriptures.Of course, that was during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the momentum of Buddhism was unprecedented. The famous poem: 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties is enough to explain the prevalence of Buddhism at that time.

Buddhism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had actually developed a lot.Just before Zhang Yi crossed over, there was a Ruo Rong in Xuzhou. He was from Danyang, but he worked for Tao Qian.

Tao Qian asked him to transport the grain from the three prefectures of Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng to Tan County (Xuzhou Government), but he pocketed it.Ruo Rong established Buddhist temples in Guangxing in Xiapi County, and moved monks, nuns and Buddhists from nearby counties into Xiapi County, with more than 5000 households.He asked the people to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night, and held the "Buddha Bathing Meeting" every Buddha's birthday.

Later, when Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, Ze Rong fled to Guangling County, killed the prefect Zhao Yu, and plundered the whole county.Then he went south to Moling and took refuge in Pengcheng Prime Minister Xue Li, who killed Xue Li and took refuge in Liu Yao.Liu Yao asked him to go to Nanchang to assist Zhu Hao, the prefect of Yuzhang, and attack Zhuge Xuan, the prefect of Yuzhang appointed by Liu Biao. As a result, Ruo Rong killed Zhu Hao again.

Such a repeated villain is a representative figure in the history of Buddhism, and many systems established by him will affect future generations for thousands of years.

In the Taoist scriptures formulated by Wang Shouren and Ge Hong, many of Ruo Rong's Buddhist operating methods have been absorbed.

These modes of operation really work in this day and age.For example, the construction of some iconic buildings can unite the beliefs of believers.After Sun En arrived in Wushang, he preached and raised funds to build the Yuhuang Temple in Xianhua Mountain.

This is to follow Ruo Rong's example of building a nine-level pagoda. Of course, not all the funds needed for the Jade Emperor Temple will be raised, that would be too slow.

Most of these funds were paid by Wang Shouren, and he mobilized a lot of Wushang garrisons to help with the construction.

Before the autumn harvest in September, the construction of Yuhuang Temple was completed.Moreover, Yuhuang Temple has the land deed of Xianhua Mountain, which allowed Sun En to recruit many Taoist boys from poor families in a short period of time, and immediately put the Jade Emperor Temple into operation.

Moreover, Sun En secretly asked Wushang's garrison, officials and others to come to the Jade Emperor Temple to offer incense, which created the assumption that the incense was flourishing, and soon the surrounding people began to become believers, and many of them were Shanyue.
