Pawn Crossing the River
Chapter 168 Luo Suozhou
There has been a policy in all dynasties called relocating people to the border areas. Translated into vernacular, it means migrating people and replenishing the frontier.
This has to mention a very real issue, the collapse of the empire.
There was once a barely unified country in the West, which the Central Plains people called Da Qin. Its capital was the City of Seven Hills, where the Holy Seat is today.
When the Qin Empire weakened and even collapsed, its border provinces rebelled and became independent.
Because during the expansion of the Qin Empire, other races would continue to be introduced into the empire, basically one province, one clan, one region. After the Qin conquered them, the Senate only sent governors, tax collectors and troops. As long as they paid taxes on time and went out in war, People contribute their own efforts, and other internal affairs are ignored, and autonomy is implemented. That's all, Da Qin still treats them as second-class citizens. The first-class citizens' lives and dreams come from external plunder and the oppression and exploitation of second-class citizens. This creates a double contradiction, class and racial.
There is also the third one, which is about regional conflicts. There are always rich areas and poor areas. When the empire falls apart, the rich areas will naturally not recognize the poor areas and will only focus on getting rid of this poor brother.
So when the empire collapsed, almost all of the outer provinces broke away from the empire and began to seek independence. .??.??
If the main body is strong enough, it can still retain the core area and seek a comeback. If the subject is not strong enough, it will disappear in the long river of history.
The Central Plains Dynasty also considered this issue, so the policy of relocating people to real borders came into being. The core is integration. You have me, and I have you. In the end, there is no distinction between each other.
Today's Taoist sect has a vast territory, and the Taoist sect must also consider this issue. That's why some people objected to accepting Tawanting and put forward the statement that "Tawanting can only share blessings but not hardships." This has a realistic basis.
After all, Tawanting is different from Nanyang. Nanyang has been integrated with the Central Plains since the Zulong period. It has a sufficient foundation for thousands of years, but Tawanting is incompatible with the Central Plains in every aspect. The culture is different, the language is different, and the thinking is different. If you really want to accept Tawanting, judging from historical experience, it is okay when the Taoist sect is strong. Once the Taoist sect falls into weakness, Tawanting will definitely pack up the weak and run away. This means that we cannot share the difficulties. It is not impossible to even bite Daomen back.
This is the main reason why the Li family has great resistance. If you want to integrate, it will take at least hundreds of years to bear fruit. No one dares to guarantee whether the Taoist sect can flourish for hundreds of years. If you want to take a shortcut, that is the Western method, killing people directly, slaughtering cities and destroying areas, but this is contrary to the purpose of Taoism's civilization. If you really do such a thing, how can you have the face to accuse Westerners? After all, Daomen did it too.
The key is to kill someone
It will backfire on one's own legitimacy. Don't underestimate the role of moral justice. Maintaining people's hearts depends on moral justice. If you are born in injustice, you will act in injustice, you will die in injustice.
What Qi Xuansu advocates seems very unreliable, but in fact it is very practical. We don't care about your own problems, we just cooperate. Whether you are killing people or oppressing, it is all your internal conflicts. Don't blame the Taoist clan. As for where Xidaomen will go, as long as the steam gospel in the north does not fall, Xidaomen has the meaning of existence.
Since the Daomen is unwilling to accept Tawanting into its territory, the Daomen's peripheral territory is the vast western region outside of the West Basa Continent, Borneo, Luosa Continent, Fenglin Continent, and Xizhou. The Taoist sect also implemented the policy of relocating people to the border areas, and the best implementation was in the Nanyang region. There is no doubt that when Qi Xuansu was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest, he heard that the Taoist sect would send people who had lost their land to Nanyang every year. Kill two birds with one stone.
Other regions have their own difficulties, such as Fenglinzhou. The environment here is not bad, but the place is too small, there are too many people, and there is no space. The opposite of Fenglinzhou is Luosuozhou. The place is too big and there are too few people. It eventually became a place of exile.
The Taoist sect never wastes manpower. Many high-quality Taoist priests will be sent to the Kunlun Taoist Monastery after falling into the Skynet. Because these high-quality Taoist priests are powerful and close to Yujing, it is easier to suppress and guard them. They do not dare to make any changes. , if you put them too far away, these people are likely to run away directly. Those who are really difficult to keep under supervision or whose crimes are extremely heinous will be sent to the three major prisons and caves.
There were also some less powerful prisoners who were exiled to Luo Suozhou. Although the environment of Luo Suozhou is harsh, it is rich in mineral resources, so these exiled prisoners were arranged to mine. In addition, there are a large number of ordinary miners hired. Most of these people come from Nanyang and the Central Plains, but no one wants to live here for a long time. They all work for a few years, save enough money, and then return to their hometown to live.
The entire Luo Suozhou is a large mining area, which supports Daomen's smelting industry. So many armored ships and firearms rely on this place.
Therefore, Tianji Hall has a strong presence here, just like Shibo Hall has a strong presence in Nanyang and other places. It is the same reason.
In addition, this "mining area" also serves as a transfer station, port, and warehouse. Daomen's assistance to the Southern Continent is first shipped here and then transferred to the Southern Continent. Even in recent years, giant workshops have been built directly next to the mining area, eliminating the need for transportation.
It has to be said that such a huge territory exceeds anything in the history of the Central Plains.
In any dynasty, if the Southern Continent is included, then no matter what time, there is always a piece of land that is bathed in the sun, and the sun never sets.
This is the Taoist Gate.
Because of this, the position of Taoist Grand Master is so eye-catching and coveted.
When the "Sun Boat" of the Xidaomen Mission appeared over Luosuo Island, Qi Xuansu looked down and saw a desolate stretch of yellow sand with no vegetation and no rivers. One glance made people feel the name "Jue Island". .
This is a real scene in the western part of Luosuo Island. It is easy to remind people of the Western Regions, which are also severely desertified today, even worse than the Western Regions. In any case, the Western Regions had a period of luxuriant water and grass in history, leaving behind many civilizations, but their decline later happened. But there are not even any traces of civilization left here, and even the general animals have retained their rather primitive appearance. It is really a barren land.
As the flying boat continued to move forward, the environment gradually changed and there were people.
At the same time, two "Purple Dragon" ships also took off to accompany the mission. "Welcome the Xidaomen mission to Luo Suozhou. Our two flying boats were ordered by the Taoist government to guide and escort the mission."
Led by the two "Purple Dragons", Xidaomen's "Sun Boat" flew to the nearest port of Dayuan - a port named after a person to commemorate Wang Dayuan, the first Central Plains man to discover Luo Suozhou. There is also a Huanzhang City, which is named after Wang Dayuan's cousin "Huanzhang".
At this time, at Dayuan Port, the real person in charge of Luosuozhou Dao Mansion, Ye Qingshuang, had led several deputy masters to wait on the pier. Just Qi Xuansu would not allow Ye Qingshuang to mobilize troops like this, but the West Daomen mission was different. As Huangfuji is the future core figure of Xidaomen, Daomen still has to give him a very high standard of reception.
The huge "Sun Boat" falls on the sea like a moving island. Although it is not as exquisite as "Yinglong" with its cascading palaces and pavilions, its main feature is that it is shrouded in light, illuminating the world from all angles. Yuan port.
After putting down the gangway, Huangfuji was the first to walk down, followed by Qi Xuansu.
Ye Qingshuang had already taken the initiative to greet Huangfu Ji, who was walking down the gangway. Then Huangfu Ji met with several deputy palace masters behind Ye Qingshuang one after another.
The meeting between Qi Xuansu and Ye Qingshuang was much more casual, they just handed each other casually - the two were not only Taoist colleagues, but also old acquaintances. Don’t forget that Borneo and Luosuzhou are neighbors. At least half of the ores from Luosuzhou go to Borneo. As the former chief deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Government, Qi Xuansu is in charge of economics and trade and has many contacts with Luosuo. Mature
no.
Ye Qingshuang is a female Taoist priest. The Taoist sect has been shouting about equality for so many years, but it has achieved some results. Shen Zhizhi has many women, such as Cihang Master Su Yuanyi, Emperor Jing Taoist Li Ruoshui, and Ye Qingshuang, all of whom are women.
However, it is undeniable that men still account for the vast majority of senior management, and the Taoist sect is essentially dominated by men. When it comes to the most fundamental power, no one behaves like a gentleman, it all depends on ability.
This also reflects a very interesting phenomenon. In Taoism, the highest status and the lowest status are both male Taoist priests, showing a polarization trend. This also reflects the concept of competition between men. The winner takes all and the loser gets nothing. It is cruel and cruel.
In fact, it can be seen as early as childhood. When girls are just ostracized, alienated, and isolated, boys may have already seen blood or even killed themselves. This is just a prototype, far from a mature state. The men and women created by the two environments naturally have very different competitiveness when they mature.
The pros and cons always go hand in hand. In a stable and orderly environment, although the upper limit of female Taoist priests is limited and it is difficult for them to touch the highest power, the lower limit is also guaranteed. In the worst case, they can still get married, which is more than those male Taoist priests who are as good as horses. found a way out.
This is also the reason why so many female Taoist priests support Zhang Yuelu. The more they shout about equality, the more they believe it. They really hope that a female Taoist master can prove that female Taoist priests can hold up half the sky.
Seeing that it has become a foregone conclusion that Master Cihang will accompany him. In the end, it will be Master Qingwei and Master Donghua who will fight. We can only place our hope on the next generation. After all, with two women, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, the probability is much higher. , can't these two people still have to accompany Li Changge and Qi Xuansu? Could it be that Li Changge and Qi Xuansu are continuing the dispute between Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren of the previous generation, right?
In fact, Qi Xuansu also has advantages, and his level is higher. Zhang, Yao, and Li happened to represent the three major aristocratic families. Only Qi Xuansu came from a lower class, the kind of low-class male Taoist priest who couldn't even afford a wife. For the huge group of Taoist priests from poor families, no matter whether you are a boy or a girl, you are still a young master and a young lady, and only Qi Xuansu is one of them.
Although Qi Xuansu recognized the Yao family's godmother and married the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, she was still better than the other three.
Don't underestimate this trend of thought. It can only reach a certain level of momentum and can truly influence the upper levels.
By coincidence, Ye Qingshuang was a Taoist priest from a poor family, so she was "assigned" to the "good place" of Luo Suozhou.
"I've been very busy lately and have low energy. I lay on the sofa for a while last night and planned to close my eyes. When I opened my eyes, it was already four o'clock in the morning. That's it for this month. I will strive for perfect attendance next month."
