The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 207 Ginger is still old and spicy

When they learned that Zixiao Guan had [-] places in their hands, all the factions went crazy.

Even if these places can only be used to open up Lingnan and Nanzhong, they all rushed to fight for them.

Among them, Lou Guan Dao is the most enthusiastic one, and they directly said that they made a round at Nanzhong.

Naturally, Sun Simiao and other factions would not let their family dominate, so they rejected the proposal on the pretext that your family could not only bear the risk.

After discussions on number theory, [-]% of the quota was given to famous schools such as Louguandao, Maoshan, and Longhushan.

Sixty percent of the places went to small sects like Li Chunfeng's sect, Nantuo Mountain Jingyun Temple.

One reason is that these small sects are more adventurous in order to strengthen themselves, and they cannot be excluded.

The second reason is that there are many small sects, and if they are evenly divided, the big factions will get more places.

"After obtaining the consent of the sage, I made an agreement with the various factions. If they can persuade the leader of the tribe of thousands of people to convert to Taoism, two places will be awarded."

"Convince 5000 tribal leaders to convert to Taoism, and five people will be awarded. If you can persuade [-] tribal leaders to convert, you will be given a Taoist temple."

"If you can persuade the great barbarian chief to convert, give a famous mountain as a dojo, and give the real person a number of Dharma names, number of disciples, etc..."

Chen Jingke looked at his master dumbfounded, and after a long while he gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, Jiang is really old and hot, you old man is awesome."

This is really awesome. At that time, he only wanted to use quotas to negotiate conditions with various factions, but he didn't think about the simplest incentive system.

Sun Simiao finished everything without saying a word, and successfully reached an agreement with the various factions.

In the early Tang Dynasty, religious control was very strict, especially after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the issuance of degree certificates became even more stringent.

Every year, except for those specially issued by Li Shimin, there are only about fifty certificates issued through formal procedures.

With the population and land area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, these few certificates are not even enough to fit between the teeth.

Various sects have to use a lot of 'black households', and the limited degrees are given to core members.

In case of inspection by the imperial court, these "black household" disciples were quickly dismissed, and they were brought back after the limelight came, which formed an effective restriction on the development of religion.

This is also the reason why, with Sun Simiao's status in the world, he had to go to Chang'an to find a relationship if he wanted to apply for a degree for Chen Jingke.

Now go to the south to preach and give places, and reward places for achievements. The more outstanding the achievements, the more places will be given.

If he can convince the great chief to convert, he will directly ascend to the sky and become the world's top sect. It's no wonder that the sects are not crazy.

It can be said that Sun Simiao easily mobilized the enthusiasm of the various factions, and there is no need to worry about their obedience.

He himself was calm about this, saying: "It's just that I have seen a lot."

"A Brief History of China and Chinese Civilization, I asked the printing house to print [-] volumes each, and they have been distributed to various factions, and let them organize their studies."

"I made an appointment with them to set off after the Lantern Festival next year, and arrive at the destination before the spring equinox to start preaching."

Chen Jingke thought of a question that he had been worrying about all along, and quickly said: "So many people must not keep it secret when they see the Chinese civilization. If it spreads out, will it cause opposition from the gentry?"

Sun Simiao said: "Don't worry, I have already written to some old friends in advance, telling them that Taoism is going to preach south."

"For the great cause of evangelism, we may adopt some extraordinary measures, so that they should not make a fuss. Those old friends expressed their understanding and asked me if I needed help."

Don't ask about his old friends, they are either the speaker of a certain gentry, or a bigwig in the academic circle.Getting along with these people can really save a lot of trouble.

Of course, in addition to Sun Simiao's own face, there is another point that is a good excuse.

To preach.

Religious behavior, coupled with the fact that it is only spread in the south, the gentry will not say much.

This is really thoughtful and meticulous. What else can Chen Jingke say, he can only shout: "Master is wise, and my apprentice admires him so much."

Regarding his exaggerated behavior, Sun Simiao couldn't help laughing.

After shouting 666, the two talked about Taoist innovation, which is nothing to talk about.

In Sun Simiao's words: the moment the imperial court and the major sects accept our framework, the innovation has already been successful, and the rest is just a matter of time.

So the two just chatted briefly, and then shifted the topic to private matters.

Sun Simiao said: "In the past few days, you have bought a decent house around."

Chen Jingke asked suspiciously: "Half of our Zixiao Temple has not been used yet, what are you buying a house for?"

Sun Simiao said, "I bought it for Mrs. Wu and Shu'er."

Chen Jingke was even more puzzled, and said, "Buy them for them? Why? Don't they want to live in the temple anymore?"

Sun Simiao explained: "In the future, when you two get engaged and get married, many etiquettes will have to be completed at their home... Do you understand?"

Chen Jingke suddenly realized, and said: "I really didn't expect this, I will buy the house when I have time."

Getting married and welcoming relatives must be a process that can only be completed by two gates.No matter where she usually lives, she must live outside the temple during the days of engagement and wedding.

Then Chen Jingke carried her in from the main gate with eight large sedan chairs, which is called the official marriage of the Ming media.

Without this process, Wu Shu will be ridiculed all his life.

So this house is a must buy.

As for the marriage proposal...

Sun Simiao said: "Don't worry, Duke Ying has passed away for less than three years, so it's inappropriate to hold auspicious celebrations, we'll wait until next year."

Chen Jingke couldn't help but patted his forehead. He felt that he had suddenly become stupid, and he had forgotten many common sense things.

Not to mention the ancient times, but many places in the 21st century have rules that cannot hold weddings within three years of the death of the elderly in the family.

If there are unmarried men and women of the right age in the family, they generally don't hold the funeral first, and pay close attention to the happy event before the funeral.

This situation is recognized by everyone, and no one will laugh at it.If the wedding is held after the funeral, it is really going to be stabbed in the spine by ten miles and eight villages.

But he immediately thought of a question and asked, "The Supreme Emperor..."

Sun Simiao said angrily, "The sage's decree is the greatest rule. It can shorten a person's filial piety period to 49 days. Do you dare to go to the sage to give Shu'er a special decree?"

"Eh..." Chen Jingke said with a sneer: "Then wait a little longer, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."

Sun Simiao got up and said: "I'm going to be busy, you go and do your own thing, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Chen Jingke said hastily: "I will study scriptures with you later."

Sun Simiao said: "You have already started with Tao Te Ching, Nan Hua Jing, and Yi Jing. With this foundation, you can already interpret other scriptures by yourself."

"Besides, you are influenced by family culture, and your thinking is very different from mine. It is not a good thing to learn too much from me."

"In the future, you can try to use your own ideas to interpret those classics. If there is anything you don't understand, just come to me."

"Here." Chen Jingke was a little apprehensive but more excited. The hard work of more than a year has finally yielded substantial results.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he studied the 'Three Mysteries' in one year, it's impossible, any book would require him to spend his whole life studying.

What Sun Simiao meant was that he already had the most basic understanding of these three scriptures.

With this foundation, we can initially get rid of the teacher and gain the ability of self-study.

The self-learning ability is the beginning of a person's knowledge from shallow to deep.

Leaving from Sun Simiao, Chen Jingke didn't go back to study, he had to finish his mundane affairs before he could concentrate on studying.

Go and say hello to Mrs. Yang first. Although there is no way to get engaged for the time being, the etiquette that a prospective son-in-law should have is still there.

Mrs. Yang was very happy about his arrival, but she also knew that he was busy with affairs, so she let him go after a few chats.

At the same time, Wu Shu was also asked to do her own work, so she didn't have to stay by her side, as long as the third lady Wu Chang was there to guard her.

This meaning couldn't be more obvious, Wu Shu's pretty face blushed slightly, and they walked out together.

Outside the courtyard, Chen Jingke teased: "It seems that the mother-in-law is still very satisfied with my son-in-law."

Wu Shu rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Whoever said that I want to marry you, I don't feel ashamed."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "What is shame? Can I get such a good wife as Sister Wu? If not, what do I want it for?"

Wu Shu was still not used to such jokes, and said: "Be serious, if someone sees you, you will spread rumors again."

Chen Jingke knew that it shouldn't be too much, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it: "By the way, have you noticed which houses around you are for sale? Buy it and put it under your aunt's name."

Wu Shu naturally knew the purpose of doing this right away, and said happily: "There are quite a lot of houses for sale in the surrounding six squares."

"A lot of mansions were originally the homes of officials. One day we will choose a suitable one."

Chen Jingke said: "Okay, but if it's too far away, it doesn't matter if you buy it here in Changlefang, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more."

Wu Shu said sweetly: "Okay, I will listen to you."

While talking, the two came to the outer courtyard. First, they went to the printing shop to find Mei Laoshi, and saw that he was polishing a strange object that looked like a chair and a car.

Seeing the finished product, Chen Jingke laughed and said, "Mei is honest, the workmanship is not bad, it was built in a day of useless."

Mei Laoshi's eyes were faintly bloodshot, but his face was very smug, and he said, "That is, the task you entrusted to me, real man, I will complete it even if I try my best."

"Even if it's the first time I made this thing, I don't know if it's good or not. You can see if it meets the requirements. If it doesn't meet the requirements, I will modify it."

Chen Jingke went over to look around, then shook it vigorously, and pushed it a few steps.Other than the fact that the wheels are a bit heavy and made of wood, everything else is perfect.

However, because of the use of bearings, the wheels are not very heavy, and a child can easily push them away.

He said with satisfaction: "Okay, not bad, it really is worthy of being the best carpenter in our Zixiao Temple."

Mei smiled honestly and said, "As long as you are satisfied, as long as you are satisfied."

At this time Wu Shu asked curiously: "Is this a chair? What are you doing with such a strange thing?"

Chen Jingke didn't answer directly, but said: "Sit up and have a look."

Although Wu Shu was puzzled, he sat down obediently.

Chen Jingke pushed her around, and then asked: "How is it, do you know the use of this thing now?"

　Originally, I wanted to participate in the 515 Explosive Update event lottery, but seeing that the threshold for participation is even [-], my heart was instantly chilled.

　　Then there is deep sadness.

　　I'm not worthy of this rush.
