Chapter 829: Convincing the Heavenly Khan with Reason VI
"The Great Teacher? How many great teachings does this Great Sect have? How many officials can do it? Civilian or military? β
"Fourth uncle, there must be at least three great teachings in the Great Sect Sect, one for each of Confucianism and Taoism...... However, after all, Confucianism leads all religions, and one or two more teachings are acceptable, and as for how many officials do it, they don't say that it is good. β
"Then arrange one for me!"
"What?"
Ji Yiji Fat Man looked at Zhang Yuan in front of him in a daze, this fourth son of Zhang Dian is now guarding the election, and he has also reaped a little benefit in the northwest battlefield. However, it is far from being comparable to Gao Yu, Wu Haogu, and Wu Haowen. Although he is also a court official now, it is still a lukewarm market. Just guarding the election in Kaifeng Mansion for a few months, and no new ones were sent.
"Fourth uncle," Ji Yi shook his head and looked at Zhang Yuan, "What's the trouble with this?" β
"Bitter?" Zhang Yuan smiled, "Do you think it will be hard to be an official in the northwest?" No matter where they are, it is the ordinary people who suffer, and the officials who are high up are not bitter wherever they go. So I have to find a place where I can be promoted, since I am stumbling in the officialdom, I always want to go to the next level! β
"That's right!" Ji Yi sighed, isn't he like this?
He thought for a while, "Then the day after tomorrow, when I go to discuss this matter with Wu Haogu, I will see if I can arrange one more great teaching." β
It is impossible to negotiate the Grand Religious Corps in one night. That's a big deal of 5 million! Last night, it was only the most preliminary discussion. Next, there will be representatives of monks and Taoist priests to participate, and finally the contract basis for investment will be drawn up, the establishment of a "joint-stock system" of the Great Education Corps, and then the formulation of various regulations and systems, and then negotiations with the Hexi Army......
In short, it will be a long, difficult, and very serious process!
β¦β¦
Su Dongpo, the right minister who was ill, only learned that he wanted to form such a strange organization as the Great Education Regiment when the brothers Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen came to visit, and he was also going to lend money to the Western Thieves to fight.
Su Dongpo sat on a soft couch with a sallow face, the room was very warm, and the smell of Chinese medicine was everywhere, he looked at Wu Haogu, whose temperament was becoming more and more majestic, and just sighed softly.
"Chongdao, the time for the teacher is running out......"
"Teacher, ......" Wu Haogu looked at Su Dongpo's appearance, and also knew that the old man was about to run out of oil and the lamp was dry.
However, Su Dongpo looked satisfied.
He is now the prime minister, the great Confucian, and the Yuntai Academy, in the future history, will definitely leave a good reputation, no longer a complaining minister. Moreover, the children of the Su family are also mixing well now, and Su Chi, the biggest official, is now the right to send the Northwest Road transfer envoy! His eldest son Su Mai recently replaced Shi Guozhong as the right to send Kaifeng Mansion, the second son Su Yu is a waiter in the Chongzheng Palace, and the third son Su Guo is also good.
Even if he swallows his breath now, the wealth of the Su family will not be shaken!
However, without his big tree, the old party, or more precisely, the Yuntai party, the Yuntai School Palace, with the two "original" classics of "Positivism" and "Rationality", is already a founding sect, and it is not something that the small temple of the old party can tolerate - it will definitely have to be in the doldrums for a while.
And Wu Haogu, as the leader of a party, although he has the support of his writings, after all, he lacks the identity of a jinshi, and it is impossible to become a ruler.
And it is also possible that it will be suppressed by the joint forces of the old and new parties! I'm afraid life won't be easy, right?
"Chongdao," Su Dongpo looked at Wu Haogu, "I am a rare person who is a teacher, and I have all the things that should be, Su Ziyou has also recovered, and the careers of several sons and nephews are also very smooth." The only one who is worried about it now is you! Your official is not small, if you are a civil official from a jinshi, you don't have to worry about being a teacher. But you are a military attachΓ©, but you wrote "Positivism" and "Rationality...... You know how hated these two books are, right? β
Su Dongpo smiled bitterly as he spoke, "If you weren't my student, I would definitely write an article to refute "Positivism" and "Rationality"!" β
Wu Haogu also smiled and said: "If this is the case, then the students will not dare to put forward the "Theory of Posiology" and "Theory of Reason". β
"Would you dare?" Su Dongpo coughed a few times and shook his head, "You...... You remember to me, although the heavens and the earth are not unreasonably big. But that's a matter of a hundred years and a thousand years, and if you look at it for ten or twenty years, you still have the most authority! Those who hold authority in their hands would never have thought that after a hundred years and a thousand years, no one would remember their words, and your "Positivism" and "Rationalism" can be placed together with the teachings of the saints. β
"Positivism" and "Rationalism" have now spread and have been applied to many natural science disciplines, and now they have begun to promote the development of natural science in China - later generations always like to say that the Chinese do not attach importance to technology, and Confucianism says "strange skills" or something. In fact, Confucianism will also "learn from things, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, rule the country and level the world", Lao Zhuang also has the theory of "Taoism and nature". Therefore, the ancient Chinese did not particularly reject technology and science, but did not find the philosophical basis for scientific research, that is, the ideological methods that can support research.
And Wu Haogu has basically solved this problem now, so from now on, scientific research will enter a fast track that has never been seen before.
But the growth of wealth brought about by scientific progress is subversive!
Su Dongpo himself was the first secretary of the Yuntai Academy, and later he was the chief executive, and all kinds of information from all over the world would be gathered to him. He could naturally feel the subversive progress brought about by Jiehe Shang City, Jingdong Shang City and Yuntai Xue Palace......
This kind of progress is not necessarily a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty!
Su Dongpo looked at Wu Haogu and said softly: "The old man is gone, no one can protect you in the political hall, at least before Su Chi, Su Mai, Su Yu, and Wu Wangdao enter the political hall, you have to be careful!" You know? β
"Students know ......"
What can Wu Haogu do if he knows? Now according to the Western calendar, it is already 1105, and the battle of Hubu Dagang is just 10 years later!
Can he still be allowed to slow down and stop digging the corners of feudalism in the Great Song Dynasty? If he doesn't dig the corners of the wall, the Wanyan Gundam won't come to push the wall?
β¦β¦
"5 million!? How much? β
"Some earn?"
"How much can I earn in a year?"
"If you don't make money, you will definitely lose money...... Hehe, but there are people who rush to do this loss-making business. β
"Who's going to lose money?"
"Wu Chongdao, Ji Yizhi, Guo Zhenren, Liu Zhenren, and I, Pan Xiao'an!"
In the Daxiangguo Temple, in a clean and spacious meditation room, Pan Xiao'an is eating fast with a group of old monks. Oh, and there are also monks who are not very old, that is, the great monk Zhishen who came from the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River.
The monks who can come here to eat food today are all the presiding abbots of the first-class temple in Kaifeng Prefecture. To be the abbot of a large temple in this city that has been submerged by commercialization, of course, you will be able to do business. But the business in front of them now is a little strange.
This business must be at a loss!
And the investment is amazing, at least 5 million!
However, this kind of money-burning business attracted Wu Haogu, Ji Yi and Pan Xiao'an, who were the first-class wealthy businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty. None of these three people are simple, especially Wu Haogu and Ji Yi, and their business is about to become immortals. They are willing to throw money into it, and there must be huge profits.
Loss? Who to fool!
"Pan Daguan," asked a fat monk with a white beard, "why throw money into it if you are sure to lose money?" β
Pan Xiao'an smiled, touched his double chin and said, "The four towns of Anxi can be connected to Tianzhu!" Western thieves, oh, if the Hexi army can take Anxi, then it will be able to open up the passage into Tianzhu, and maybe it can directly attack the northwest of Tianzhu. It is not the kingdom of Buddha now, but the territory of the Heavenly Sect. If anyone can open the temple to Tianzhu, the Buddha's hometown, how much merit will it be? In the future, it will not be the merit of going to the Western Heavens, but the merit of becoming a Buddha! β
Can you become a Buddha?
The great monks looked at each other, and these profiteers were also worthy of becoming Buddhas? No, people can really become Buddhas! Everyone knows that Tianzhu is rampant, if you can spread the Dharma in Tianzhu, how happy should the Buddha be? The little sin of the profiteers has not been written off? When the time comes, they will all become Buddhas!
"And...... Anxi is poor, Tianzhu is rich! Pan Xiao'an said, "The wealth of Tianzhu is not worse than that of China, and it is also a necessary place for China's maritime trade to eat." If the Hexi Army can enter Tianzhu, why don't Wu Chongdao and Ji Yizhi follow in by the way? Hehe, just going to the sea trade of the big food country to the west, scraping a few million is a matter? Anxi's loss is a big deal, as long as he can get it back several times from the sea. And you can get a Buddha, who doesn't do such a good deal? β
Pan Xiao'an patted his chest as he spoke, "I definitely want to put money into it, and after a hundred years, I will be a Buddha!" Hahaha, Amitabha, Amitabha......"
"Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple also invested money in it," the great monk Zhishen clasped his hands together, "The Sprinkle family is dedicated to promoting the Dharma, and they are not afraid to accompany the money!" Amitabha! β
"The old man is not afraid of losing money! Count the old man's Guanyin Zen Monastery as a copy! β
"Money is something outside the body, as long as you can promote Buddhism, you will lose it, Shaolin Temple not only pays, but also monks and soldiers."
"Amitabha, Lao Gao's Tianbao Temple is not afraid of losing money, and Lao Gao will send his apprentices to Anxi to preach the Dharma!"
None of the old monks were stupid, and they all immediately understood what was going on. On the surface, the deal was at a loss, but the money was made outside the business. Ten times the benefits are not only ah, but also can become a Buddha. Whoever doesn't invest is a fool......
