Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 597 Religion

Wu Dong, Lu Zhishen and others came to the vegetable garden behind the Daxiangguo Temple, and it was deserted!

Over the years, Da Song has been getting worse and worse, and Da Xiangguo Temple has also gone downhill!Coupled with the recent siege of Bianliang City by Liangshan soldiers and horses, this vegetable garden has long been deserted!

However, the huge pit where Lu Zhi pulled out the weeping willow in deep anger is still there, and the willow tree is still put aside!

Wu Dong looked at this willow tree, and was amazed in his heart. This tree was as thick as a man, and Lu Zhishen was able to pull it out with both hands, which is really amazing!

"Master is really powerful!" After a long time, Wu Dong praised.welcome to read

"Haha, I dare not! I was driven from Mount Wutai to Daxiangguo Temple that day. I was depressed, so I vented it on this willow tree!" Lu Zhishen laughed loudly.

Wu Dong also laughed, and after a while, he said, "Master, now that Daliang has captured the Central Plains, it's only a matter of time before he can capture the whole world! Does Master still want to be a monk now?"

Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, he had never thought about this question before!Back then, he was a promoted officer in the Western Army, and he became a monk because he killed Zhen Guanxi!Now that I think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with being a monk, so I smiled and said: "I will continue to be a monk! The Sa family has no interest in female sex, nor is it interested in being an official. If you have no worries in your life, you can be a monk at ease. very good!"

Wu Dong nodded with a smile, and said no more at the moment.

Lu Zhishen frowned at this moment, and said: "It's not right if there is no concern, but the Sa family still has some concerns. All the brothers in Liangshan are my concerns, especially Brother Shi Xiu!"

"We have conquered so many places, why can't we find brother Shi Xiu? Where did he go?" Regarding Shi Xiu's question, Wu Dong was also very strange.

"We searched all over the North, Xixia, and Central Plains, but we still couldn't find him! Could it be that he was really killed?" Thinking of this, Lu Zhishen suddenly felt sad.

"Brother Shi Xiu has made great contributions to Liangshan. I decided to send someone to post his portrait all over the country, and give a big reward to find Brother Shi Xiu's whereabouts! We must see people when we are alive, and we must see corpses when we die! We cannot let him disappear without knowing why. "Wu Dong said.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Lu Zhishen said gratefully.

"Thank me for what? He is also my brother." Wu Dong shook his head.

They walked around the Daxiangguo Temple, and then around for a while, and the whole afternoon passed in a blink of an eye.

Late that night, Wu Dong lived in the palace of Song Dynasty.Before he fell asleep, a guard reported that Master Luo asked to see him.

"Let him come over!" Wu Dong laughed.

Master Luo strode into the palace. This was the first time Wu Dong saw Master Luo. He looked at Master Luo carefully, and found that Master Luo's hair and beard were all white, and his whole person gave off an unusually free and easy feeling. , as if he was a fairy, Wu Dong couldn't help admiring!

"The people in the mountains have seen His Majesty!" Master Luo saluted.

"Reverend Luo, I have admired your name for a long time! You are Gongsun Sheng's master, and Gongsun Sheng is my brother, and you are also my elder!" Wu Dong said with a faint smile.

"Don't dare to be that!" Zhen Luo said.

At this moment, Master Luo was also secretly looking at Wu Dong, and he was also very surprised!As a well-known Taoist in the north, he has studied Taoism intensively and has a deep knowledge of physiognomy!Wu Dong's face doesn't look like a person in the world, but like a fairy from ancient times or other times.

Although he is a Taoist, deep down in his heart he doesn't quite believe in gods and monsters!At this moment, he was astonished.

"Could it be that there are gods in this world who descend to the mortal world?" Daoist Luo secretly asked.

"What is the real person thinking?" Wu Dong asked.

"When I went down the mountain back then, Daliang sent Lord Shi Qian to meet me. At that time, he promised me a condition. I don't know if this condition still counts?" Luo Zhen said.

"You mean about allowing Taipingdao to preach?" Wu Dong laughed.

"Exactly!" Zhen Luo said.

"Of course this matter counts! In Daliang, the Dao of Taiping is nothing. Any religion can be spread in Daliang! The new learning in Daliang is something rebellious. Are you afraid that you will not succeed in Dao of Taiping?" Wu Dong said.

"So, thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Zhenren bent down again to express his gratitude.

"About preaching, I have a word of advice!" Wu Dong said after being silent for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Zhen Luo said.

"Although Daliang allows the spread of religion, no religion can resist the imperial court! Any religion that tries to infect secular power is a cult, and Liangshan will stop at nothing to ban and eliminate it!" Wu Dong said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I, Taiping Dao, only want to be able to preach in an upright manner, and we will never rebel against the imperial court!" Luo Zhenren said.

"I have seen your teachings of Taiping Dao, which are quite different from ordinary Taoist sects! Your Taiping Dao only believes in Lao Tzu and disdains other gods. This is very good! Since the Han Dynasty, Buddhism has entered the Central Plains, and Buddhism has become more It is becoming more and more prosperous, even surpassing the Daoist sect in the Central Plains. One of the most important reasons is that there are too many gods in the Daoist sect! If there are fewer gods and simple beliefs, it will be beneficial to the development of the Daoist sect." Wu Dong laughed. .

"I didn't expect His Majesty to study religion, and Luo admires it." After careful consideration, Luo Zhenren felt that what Wu Dong said had some truth, and said immediately.

"These are nothing, just some personal opinions! I also hope that the local religion in the Central Plains can become stronger!" Wu Dong laughed.

Wu Dong hoped that China's Taoist or Buddhist sects could become stronger, so that they would be able to resist the invasion of Western religions in the future.

The two exchanged for a long time, mainly about missionary-related issues. After half an hour, Luo Zhen left here.

At the gate of the palace, Master Luo met Song Qinzong, he just greeted him lightly, but Song Qinzong stayed there.Of course he knew Master Luo, and knew that Master Luo was his father's favorite Taoist priest. The reason why his father wanted to build a new palace was because of Master Luo's bewitching!At that time, Master Luo also said that his father was the emperor from the sky descending to earth. Now that Bianliang has just fallen, this Master Luo came to visit Wu Dong, and it seems that he also wanted to please Wu Dong!

"How can there be any gods and gods in this world? The emperor did his own crimes and believed in these things. No wonder the country is destroyed..." Song Qinzong secretly said.

******

In the early morning of the second day, Wu Dong and his party went to Gen Yue!This Genyue is the royal garden of the Song Dynasty built entirely by the power of Huashi Gang, almost by the power of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. It took 20 years to build, and its prosperity and beauty surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.

"This is the stone of Taihu Lake! In order to transport this stone to Bianliang, 359 bridges were demolished along the way, thousands of families were destroyed, countless river transportation was delayed, and countless manpower was spent to transport it here! Because of overcoming So many "difficulties", so at that time Yang Jian reported this to his father as a huge credit, and his father greatly praised Yang Jian." In front of a huge stone, Song Qinzong whispered.

"Just for such a stone, so much people's fat and people's anointing have been spent?" Wu Dong sighed deeply.

As they went forward, there were countless lofts in Gen Mountain, all kinds of strange flowers and rocks, and occasionally they encountered patches of woods, and the chirping of cranes could be heard in the woods!With light snow blowing, they seemed to have come to a fairyland, and everyone had a feeling that they were not in this world.

"This place can be left for future generations to appreciate, and also to teach future generations a lesson, so that future generations can understand why the Great Song Dynasty perished." Wu Dong said.

"Yes!" Li Gang next to him nodded lightly.

"Your Majesty, the prestigious elders and gentry in Bianliang City have arrived and are waiting for your Majesty's reception." At this time, Han Shizhong strode over and said.

"Okay, let's go meet the representatives of the people in Bianliang City." Wu Dong said.

They returned from Genyue and returned to the Bianliang Palace. In the Funing Hall of the palace, when Wu Dong arrived, dozens of elders and gentry hurriedly knelt down.Some of these people's hair was completely white. They knelt on the ground, their bodies were still shaking, and they were obviously very scared.Over the years, the Song Dynasty has constantly promoted and belittled Liangshan, comparing Liangshan to a murderous demon without blinking an eye, so some people are extremely afraid of Liangshan.

"Get up!" Wu Dong said.

Dozens of elders and gentry hurriedly stood up, they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Wu Dong's face.Before, they just saw a person wearing a dragon robe come in and fell to their knees in a hurry, so they didn't see Wu Dong's appearance clearly before.

"You are all people of prestige among the people in Bianliang. Tell me, how is the order in Bianliang now? Has anyone suffered a military disaster at home?" Wu Dong said.

"This... Your Majesty's army has strict military discipline, which is far superior to the imperial army of the Song Dynasty! Your Majesty's soldiers will not easily enter the people's homes. If they rob the people's property or harm the people, they will be beheaded! This is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." !” After a long time, an old man said.

"Yes, he is indeed a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"

"I have never seen such an army..."

There were countless praises for a while, Wu Dong nodded lightly, and said: "The army has not harmed the people, that's good! I called you here because I have a few policies to announce! First, Bianliang City exempts all taxes for one year. Year! The Central Plains and Jiangnan will be exempted from agricultural taxes for three years! In addition, starting today, there will be no corvee in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and all people in the world will be exempted from corvee!"

Hearing Wu Dong's words, the representatives of the people in Bianliang City stayed there. After a long time, the old man who spoke before hurriedly knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty is holy, love the people like a child!"

As the old man knelt down, the rest of the people also knelt down to express their gratitude.

"In addition to these, Daliang will also be exempted from the world's salt tax! From now on, everyone in the world will be able to eat salt!" Wu Dong said again.

In the Song Dynasty, the salt tax was extremely heavy!The salt tax accounts for a third of the treasury's revenue!The Song Dynasty also severely cracked down on illegal salt, and those who sold more than 20 catties of illegal salt would be punished by beheading!In the Song Dynasty, there were many people who could not eat salt!Wudong is exempted from the salt tax. Although he can lose a large part of his income, he can quickly win the hearts of the people of the world, which is conducive to the stability of the world!Moreover, using the salt tax to exploit the people to enrich the treasury is not the way he wants!What he wants is to enrich the people and strengthen the country, not to exploit the people and strengthen the country.

"In addition, Bianliang will set up a consultative bureau!" Wu Dong said again.
