After most of the day, tired pilgrims can go to the meditation room to rest, there is good tea to serve, there is a sumptuous meal to enjoy, and there is a special vegetarian wine made by Buddhism (wine made from fruits, the alcohol content is very low, not easy to drink intoxicating!). ）

Fasting and vegetarian wine are prepared for distinguished guests, but the servants do not have this treatment, Xiao Yi only received four big steamed buns, and while gnawing indiscriminately, he wandered around, and soon came to the back door of the temple......

When I went up the mountain just now, the pilgrims walked the avenue and entered the Tianyin Temple from the gate, while the farmers went around the path and entered through the back gate...... Hehe!

"Today is the day of paying rent, who dares to lack two catties and two pounds, shoddy, be careful that the Buddha blames it, and the soul will forever fall into hell, and be tortured by climbing the knife mountain and getting into the oil pot!"

"Let's come first from the Li family's village, the eggs are smaller than the other, the pork is also much thinner and less fat, and the red dates have insects, is this to deceive the Buddha?"

………………

On the path at the back gate of Tianyin Temple, farmers lined up in a long line, and the bamboo baskets they picked were full of grain, mountain fruits, chickens and ducks, eggs, and fresh meat...... It's all saved and frugal, and it's handed over to the temple for worship!

Several fat monks, sitting at the door, are responsible for acceptance, no different from ordinary landlords collecting rent, they are all noses and eyes, eggs and bones, and from time to time to use hell to threaten!

A basket of good red dates, the monks ate saliva flying, but they insisted that they had worms, which could only be counted as half a basket; There is also a copper bucket for collecting grain, with a large mouth, a round belly, a deep bottom, and a groove carved on the inner wall, saying that it is a bucket of capacity standard, but there is no bucket of three or four grains, don't want to fill it!

According to the rules, the farmers rented the temple property and handed over eight buckets of grain per acre, (the average yield per mu in the Han Dynasty was more than two stones and three buckets, about 280 catties), accounting for more than one-third of the harvest!

But the temple actually collects more than two-fifths, and individual temples that lack great virtue even receive one-half, which is not much different from the national field endowment, and they are responsible for seeds and farm tools!

(Cao Ying implemented the tuntian system, when farmers cultivated the land, if they used their own cattle, they handed over half of the harvest, and if they used the government's cattle, they handed over six-tenths, and all the seeds and farm tools were provided by the government!) ）

"Last year there was a drought and a locust plague, and the harvest in the field was really bad.

"A few masters, let's be gracious, there is a good harvest this autumn, I must honor the temple and a few masters!"

……………………

There are policies and countermeasures, and the farmers are saying good things while secretly stuffing things, or a string of copper coins, or a fat hen, and again a few eggs!

The monks received the benefits, and they were confused, anyway, the things they collected were enough to pay the rent of the temple, and the remaining few people shared it privately, which is called losing the public and fattening!

In the area of Ziyun Mountain, the reputation of Tianyin Temple is relatively good, just keep a little money account, other temples take advantage of it, bully men and women, and even force out people's lives many times, because it is a matter of Buddhism, and the government is not easy to interfere!

Then again, it is true that the temple is tyrannical and domineering, fraudulent and oppressive, but the people still swallow their anger and have no intention of resisting:

First, the imperial court has been fighting for many years, requiring a large amount of money and grain, and the levy of land and poll taxes is far higher than the regulations, and even a few years later, compared with the two, the rent of the temple is slightly lower!

Second, the farmers who farm for the temple do not need to serve in labor and military service, and they do not need to go to the battlefield.

"Amitabha - Amitabha!"

"The masters have picked their disciples, the boys are coming to the front, and they are all cheering up!"

"In the future, if you eat bran vegetables, or eat meat and drink oil, it depends on your creation, and your mouth must be sweet!"

………………

Out of the robe, a few old monks with staff in their hands kept looking at the crowd, specifically looking for children under the age of ten, they were picking on little monks!

If a temple wants to grow, in addition to recruiting believers and accumulating money, the number of monks is also an important factor, after all, there is great power in the number of people, but it is not easy to be a monk, especially if you want to become a monk, you must have three things:

First of all, the face is like the moon, the figure is slender, that is, the small appearance should be good-looking, because the monk is the Buddha's disciple, if the long green face and fangs, let alone do things for others, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a bite of fasting.

Secondly, the monk is to preach the scriptures, must have a good voice, and Sanskrit is jerky and difficult to understand, most of the pilgrims can't understand it, that is, listen to the monk's chanting!

Finally, smart and clever, reading and literacy, if you want to become a virtuous monk, you must make friends with the powerful, how to do it without dim sum and eyesight, calligraphy is one of the compulsory courses!

"Masters have mercy - masters have mercy!"

"The disciples are willing to become monks, willing to take refuge in our Buddha, and willing to serve all the masters!"

……………………

The children of the peasant family knelt on the ground and kowtowed, some were courteous, some patted their chests to show that they were in good health, and some were writing on the ground to show their literary talents!

It's a pity that the farmer's life is hard, most of the children are yellow and thin, and some of them are sick, and a few of them have 'literary talents', but they can only write their names, which are ugly than dogs!

The old monks turned around, and only picked one smart and clever one who was ready to be shaved to be a little novice, and jumped three strong ones, leaving them as working monks in the temple, and the rest were all not!

happily picked up, followed the old monk into the temple, and there was an iron rice bowl in the future; They were dejected, and some of them were crying, they could only be like their parents, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and dying in the fields all their lives!

"A good son of a dignified Han family, he doesn't want to read poetry and books, practice martial arts, and win fame and wealth for a lifetime, but instead focuses on being a monk, which is really angry!

In less than a hundred years, there are temples everywhere and monks everywhere, and the people of the Han family, who were originally able to fight well, have also become sheep who eat fasting and chanting Buddha. ”

In the small corner of the back door, Xiao Yi witnessed the whole process, saw the dark side of Buddhism, and became more determined to destroy Buddhism, all said that the benevolence and morality of Confucianism castrated the martial spirit of the Chinese nation, and if Buddhism grows stronger, the harm will be greater!

The scriptures of Buddhism are good, but unfortunately they are misread by the monks, hypocrisy, vanity, greed, and malice...... In response to the character flaws of the monks, Xiao Yi had a plan in his heart, a plan that was more powerful than Wuzhi Mountain, so that Buddhism would never turn over!

Although the plan is there, it is a pity that it is not perfect, to be precise, there is a lack of a person, a resourceful, ruthless, thicker skin than the city wall, and a grudge against Buddhism, that is, the executor of 'destroying the Buddha'!

In any case, Buddhism has a gorgeous coat, and if you take off this coat, it will inevitably attract countless resentments, and even infamy through the ages...... These titles will forever be recorded in the annals of history!

Buddhism is very harmful to the community, Cao Cao is well aware, the reason why he is slow to do it, nine times out of ten is afraid of being infamous and affecting the plan of 'Cao Wei Dynasty Han', Xiao Yi also cherishes feathers, but who will carry this black cauldron, and who will carry it?

Jia Xu's wisdom and viciousness are enough, but it's a pity that he is too low-key, and likes to hide behind the scenes to come up with bad ideas, let him stand up and preside over the overall situation, and the old guy won't do it if he is killed!

Guo Yi is also competent for this, but Xiao Yi has been carefully cultivated for many years, so that he will be the future prime minister, and it is really overkill to use it for the 'dirty work' of destroying Buddha, and he is reluctant to die!

Jia Chong is full of potential, but unfortunately he is still too young to bear this burden, if he grows up, Buddhism will have blossomed and borne fruit, and it will be difficult to get rid of it!

The rest of the civil and military forces under his command, some are good at charging into battle, some can give advice, and there are no seamless talents who may do the 'dirty work'......

Just as Xiao Yi was thinking hard and looking for a suitable candidate, a group of monks rushed out of the temple, but they did not wear monk's robes, but coarse cloth clothes for work, some with bald heads, some wearing hats, carrying grain, vegetables, meat and eggs to the temple......

Buddhism advocates the four major emptiness and the equality of all living beings, but the monks have a strict hierarchy, which is divided into presiding, first, superintendent, superintendent, sub-temple, and zhike...... There are more than 20 levels in total, which are not common jobs, and the lowest level is the labor monk!

Labor monk is a general term, subdivided into rice, vegetables, fire, water, clock, drum, door, garden (responsible for the vegetable garden), bath head (responsible for bathing, clean head (responsible for the toilet, this work is unlucky), tower head (watch the grave and guard the grave), tree head (patrol the mountain forest, plant trees), firewood, grinding head, tea head......

These workers are laboring monks, or the lowest miscellaneous monks, they don't even have specific work, they can only do some hard work, and they don't even have a monk's robe, so they are not so much monks as hard labor!

"Bang...... Got hair?

Xiao Yi was about to turn around and leave, but there was no accident, a monk was too thin and weak, and he struggled to carry a large bag of corn, but he didn't stand firm under his feet, fell on his heels, and the hat on his head fell off, revealing his black hair......
