Although all the ministers suspected that the emperor was going to clean up the household registration, they all felt that this fact was too difficult and basically impossible to succeed, but they also felt that the emperor should not be despised and the emperor should have such ability.

The thoughts of the ministers are complicated, on the one hand, Emperor Xiwang does not want to clean up the household registration, after all, if Zhende clears out the household registration, it will be necessary to pay more taxes, but I want to see if this thing comes true, I want to see what means the emperor has to do this, I want to see how the emperor can solve this problem that has not been solved in two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. To tell the truth, at this time, the ministers didn't have much heart to do it against the emperor, through so many things, it seems that some conclusions have gradually been drawn, the emperor is not easy to fool, and the people who do it against the emperor have no good end, and there is nothing that can stump the emperor, if you want to fight with the emperor with such a high prestige, you don't have any courage and ability, it's better not to stand up, otherwise it is not interesting to slap the emperor in the face for three days. Even the matter of paying taxes can't stop the emperor, what else in the world can stump the emperor? Are there many people who oppose paying taxes? But if people don't pay taxes to the emperor obediently today? Standing on the opposite side of the emperor, there is really no chance of winning.

With all kinds of complicated feelings, the ministers did not stop the strengthening of household registration management, but quietly watched how this matter developed, if the emperor had no intention of cleaning up the household registration in the world, the matter would end here; If the emperor has the heart to clean up the household registration in the world, there will definitely be more means. The ministers who have learned to be well-behaved are all "audiences" and "soy sauce pies".

Although Yang Reform is also happy to strengthen the management of household registration, he also feels that this matter is too bland, there is no thorn, there is no pressure, this person, this life can be boring, there is no previous kind of fighting for the future, shengli.

……

The days are still dull and peaceful.

It's still a new day, it's still boring.

Yang Reform also tried his best to make his life more fulfilling, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the "joy of the "Emperor Wai years", nor could he find the "joy" of fighting salt merchants and landlords.

"Companion, is there something important today?" Yang asked a little lazily.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhengyi real person Zhang Xianyong asks to see." Wang Chengen saw that the emperor seemed to be sullen and embarrassed, and he didn't know why the emperor was like this, so he quickly replied when he heard the emperor ask.

"Oh, Zhang Zhenren? Did he say why he came to see me? Yang Reform came a little bit of spirit, Shuo to create a "saint" out, this is one of the few "games" that Yang Reform can play now, speaking of which, this game is also about to "clear the customs", there are not many places to play, Zhang Xianyong's thing yijing has succeeded most of the time, on the right track, if nothing else, sooner or later there will be results, that is to say, it will not be long before the game will be "cleared", there is no need to play, Yang Reform slightly mentioned some of the spirit, and quickly withered.

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems to be about building a bell tower...... Wang Chengen hurriedly replied, last time the emperor also asked him such a question, he said he didn't know, this time, he had a long heart, or put some words in Zhang Xianyong's place, so, he was good to answer in front of the emperor, lest the emperor say he didn't know when he asked, this is a kind of attitude problem of the emperor, the attitude of the emperor, must be attentive and sincere.

"The Clock Tower? Hehehe...... could it be that Zhang Zhenren also wants to build a bell tower? Yang Reform said with some surprise. No xiangdao would be like this. After thinking about it, he said, "...... See. ”

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed.

……

Qianqing Palace Warm Pavilion.

"Minister Zhang Xianyong see Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianyong saluted neatly.

"Excuse me, sit down." Yang Genghe motioned for Zhang Xianyong to sit on a stool.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianyong hurriedly thanked him.

"A real person came to see me, but something?" Yang asked Gengai. Facing this Zhang Xianyong who wanted to repair the bell tower, Yang Reform wanted to laugh, but he was also a little proud, he was just a little bit of a teacher for ***, and Zhang Xianyong was busy with it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have something to ask for......" Zhang Xianyong said with some embarrassment. He was also forced to come, Liulizhai Square Yirenjiao built a church, this is nothing, but there is a bell tower, can point the hour, so that now people passing by Liulizhai should not look up at the bell tower of the Yirenjiao, to see what time, this is undoubtedly, the Yirenjiao has gathered the attention of the people of the world at once, which is extremely beneficial to the spread of the Yirenjiao, and although he Taoism has the support of the emperor, but in this regard, he thinks, it is still not as good as the Yirenjiao, the Yirenjiao can have, he should also have, It should be more powerful to suppress the Yiren Sect, the Yiren Sect to cultivate one, he will have to cultivate ten, a hundred, the Yiren Sect is cultivated in Beijing, he has to cultivate in the entire Daming Dynasty, a xiangdao When he and the Yiren were selected by the emperor in front of the emperor, Zhang Xianyong's heart was not a taste, he had to suppress the Yiren to do it. ,

"Oh, what do real people ask for?" Yang asked Gengai. Although I asked Wang Chengen what it was, I still have to ask.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister begs Your Majesty to agree, and the minister can also build a bell tower." Zhang Xianyong lowered his head and said with some humility, in front of the emperor, he is not an immortal, and he does not dare to call himself a "saint", he is just the emperor's courtier.

"Repair the bell tower? …… Hehehe......" Yang Gengai laughed for a while.

“…… So how does the Qing family plan to repair it? What do you want me to promise? Yang Gengyi has long guessed this possibility, and now Zhang Xianyong has come to find him, and he is not busy in vain.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister requests to build a bell tower that can indicate the time just like the Nayi people......" Zhang Xianyong said with a little blush, he can be regarded as a red luǒluǒ benefit, in front of the emperor, it is really shameless.

"Build a bell tower like the Yiren Sect?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes......" Zhang Xianyong lowered his head, he felt more and more embarrassed by such a shameless request. However, he also suffered at home for a while, and he had to come, seeing that the Yiren Church that competed with him became the attention of the world, if he didn't suppress this momentum, he was afraid that the Yiren Church would grow rapidly in the future.

"Actually, I don't hinder real people from building bell towers, real people want to repair them, just repair them is ......" Yang Reform said with a smile, to be honest, with the rise of Taoism now, Taoism in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be a small rise, and the Taoist temple or something is also expected, otherwise, it will not be able to match the status of Taoism, since there will be a bō Taoist temple construction**, Yang Reform does not mind taking a hitchhike, putting the bell tower, the bell can indicate the time, and selling such a mechanical thing to any corner of the Ming Dynasty, Thinking that Zhang Xianyong saw the bell tower of Liulizhai, he must not be able to sit still, and he must follow the construction, since it is to be built, Yang Reform feels that it is necessary to make this bell tower and bell the standard configuration of Taoist architecture. Taking advantage of this bō wind, machinery, and clocks, I am afraid that it will soon blow into every corner of the Ming Dynasty, promote science, and promote social progress.

"Uh......, thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianyong was a little surprised, he agreed so easily, the emperor still took care of him! Zhang Xianyong was very moved.

"By the way, I heard Tang Keqing say that the church over there is equivalent to the Taoist Taoist temple, almost as long as it is a slightly larger church, there will be this kind of thing, in order to attract people's attention and facilitate preaching, in this regard, real people may wish to learn more from Tang Keqing and them......" Yang Reform also has something to say, and there is no cloud covering the fog.

"Obey! His Majesty Xie pointed out...... "Zhang Xianyong was very moved, the emperor also took care of his Taoism.

"The Qing family came to see me today...... But it's strange that I want to build a church for the Yiren Sect in Liulizhai Square? Yang Reform also said that with Yang Reform's prestige and ability now, many things can be said directly, but there is no need to play the front machine, and there is no need to be so tired.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to ......" Zhang Xianyong hurriedly stood up, the emperor said so, he couldn't stand it, he was respected as a god outside, he was eager to be a saint, but he knew that everything he did came from the emperor, in front of the emperor, he was nothing, where did he dare to have a little bit of criticism about the emperor? It's scared.

"Sit down, sit down......" Yang said with a smile.

Zhang Xianyong was signaled by the emperor, and sat down a little restrained, a little apprehensive.

"The reason why I let the Yi people build a church there is actually that I have inherited their love, and I have inherited their love, and I must repay this love, what I mean, can the Qing family understand?" Yang Reform said, these words, Yang Reform didn't plan to say, but think about it, it's better to say it, and it's more in line with your habits.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Xianyong agreed with some trepidation.

"Actually, there is another layer of meaning......" Yang Reform stared at Zhang Xianyong, and said lightly, these things, Yang Reform is not afraid to say these things to Zhang Xianyong now, these things are broken now, it may be a little hurtful, but Yang Reform knows that with the passage of time, the sooner this kind of words are clarified, the better.

"I beg your majesty to teach me." Zhang Xianyong said a little nervously. ,

"Actually, I also want to spur the Taoist ...... through this matter," Yang Gai provoked and explained this matter.

“…… Your Majesty......" Zhang Xianyong was so nervous that he stood up again.

"Sit ......, sit down......" Yang Reform asked Zhang Xianyong to sit down again.

Zhang Xianyong began to sweat, the emperor actually said this matter so bluntly, Zhang Xianyong was very uncomfortable, remembering the scene that the emperor chose between him and the Yiren, there was competition between him and the Yiren Sect, he himself knew it, otherwise, he would not have built a church in the Yiren Sect, and he followed to see the emperor. Secretly glanced at the emperor, only to feel that the pressure was extraordinarily heavy, and when he saw the emperor motioning for him to sit down, he sat down uneasily.

“…… I know that Taoism will inevitably rise up, and with the rise of Taoism, it is inevitable that Taoism will be feared, and with the rise of Taoism, there will definitely be a group of people who tend to join Taoism, and Taoism will inevitably be uneven,...... Real people should also know about worshipping and destroying Buddha several times in history, right? If you are praised too highly, you will easily get carried away and get carried away, and you will often lose your roots, not knowing how many bowls of rice you can eat, what you are doing, and doing something that people and gods are angry with and the law does not tolerate...... I don't want to be a Taoist, so I found a spur for the Taoist, that is, the Yiren Sect, I Xiwang Taoist can always introspect, can always remember what he wants to do, what he can do, every time he is proud and complacent, look at the spur around him, to avoid making mistakes, I think, this may be better for Taoism......" Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty! …… Your Majesty has no way to repay my great kindness to Taoism, but to repay the grace of the saints. Zhang Xianyong listened to the emperor's words, but from apprehension and uneasiness to a feeling of guilt, as soon as His Majesty, he knelt on the ground, he did have a little bit of blame for the emperor, but he didn't dare to show it, now listening to the emperor say the truth of the matter, he was so moved, as for whether it was pretending or sincere, this could not be distinguished.

"Real people don't need to be like this, get up quickly......" Yang reform yijing is used to others kneeling and bowing, and yijing has weakened a lot of resistance to this kind of kneeling ceremony.

"Your Majesty is ...... to be fulfilled" Zhang Xianyong was moved to tears, thanked him, and then got up, and in his eyes, he could see the tears of emotion.

"I don't need to thank me, as long as Taoism can abide by its duty and not forget what I do and what I can do, I will be grateful." Yang Reform said, and Zhang Xianyong completely broke this matter, Yang Reform felt, now may be a little uncomfortable, but in the long run, it is necessary, every time he plays the front machine, every time he guesses riddles with others, the cloud covers the fog, Yang Reform feels, there is really no need, and he is too tired, he now has the capital in this area, but he is not afraid to talk about it.

"Your Majesty Xie's guidance, the minister remembers His Majesty's teachings, and must be strict with his disciples, and will not be soft on those who dare to ruin the reputation of Taoism......" Zhang Xianyong is zhende moved, but also zhende out of a cold sweat, now, he has been immersed in the great glory and joy of success, are in the pursuit of everyone, this heart, indeed a little floating, now by the emperor a reminder, the matter is broken, this heart is shocked, all say that blessing and misfortune depend on each other, today's glory, if you don't pay attention, don't be vigilant, He will inevitably have a catastrophe in the future, he is so carried away that Zhende regards himself as a "saint".

"Well, it's good that a real person can understand my heart......" Yang Gai looked at Zhang Xianyong who was awake, and felt that his words might not have been in vain, so he thought about it and said, "...... Then the real person said, what should Taoists do, what should they do? What is the duty of Taoism? Yang Gengai said, his eyes staring at Zhang Xianyong, not relaxing at all.

"I beg Your Majesty to give me advice...... Zhang Xianyong bowed, avoiding the direct gaze of the emperor's gaze, and replied, his heart is now shaking so badly, and he is forced to look at by the emperor, so he can only listen to the emperor.

"Naturally, it is the mission of Taoism to preach for the people of the world, and to work tirelessly for the sake of seeking the Tao, which is the ...... mission of Taoism, and I can keep this in mind, and always remind and spur myself......" Yang Gai said, Yang Gai wanted to transform Taoism into a "Scientology" and dilute the sè color of religion, after all, religion and science have a lot of conflicts.

"Keep in mind Your Majesty's teachings, Your Majesty's teachings are my Taoist guidelines, and they are my Taoist precepts......" Zhang Xianyong said seriously and sincerely. ,

"Well, Xiwang Taoists can keep that in mind,...... By the way, when it comes to preaching, I do remember one thing. Yang Reform suddenly remembered something and said.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter?" Zhang Xianyong hurriedly asked.

"Have you thought about it? The Tao has existed since the beginning of the world, it is born with shijie, and it exists with shijie, that is to say, the avenue exists without the influence of heaven and earth, humanities, and borders...... "Yang Gengai remembered one thing and felt that it was necessary to mention it to Zhang Xianyong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, the Great Dao exists forever, it does not exist because of the existence of people, nor does it die out because of the disappearance of people, the ministers say that it is the Tao, but in fact, it is just to discover the existing Tao and prove the existence of the Dao, not to create a Dao, nor to change the Dao...... Zhang Xianyong said immediately.

"Yes, that's the case, so the Tao is not limited by borders and regions, but the real person has not thought about it, if the Great Dao proved by the real person with great energy is used by other countries in vain and known by other countries, what will be the consequences?" Yang asked Gengai.

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, it may be detrimental to my Daming......" Zhang Xianyong was a little panicked.

"Yes, I'm worried about that,...... The avenue has no borders, everyone can prove it, but the people who can prove the Tao are ...... with a state, and the real person may wish to think about it more......" Yang Reform said, to put it bluntly, science has no borders, but scientists have nationality, and the unlimited spread of science and technology is very dangerous for the Ming Dynasty, a country that is too friendly to external countries.

"Your Majesty, keep in mind Your Majesty's teachings, and you will definitely pay attention to this aspect." Zhang Xianyong quickly understood what the emperor meant, saying that he was a Taoist preaching, in fact, the emperor supported him behind his back, without the emperor's support, he would not be able to have today, and it would be impossible for him to achieve anything in the future.

"Well, since the Qing family knows, I won't say much......" Yang Reform relieved himself.

After chatting with Zhang Xianyong for a while, Zhang Xianyong said goodbye, talking about some things about Western missions, and Zhang Xianyong was full of joy.

Waiting for Zhang Xianyong to leave, Yang Reform is a little bored again, Zhang Xianyong's "game" is about to be cleared, or it won't be long before there is no play, Yang Reform feels that this day is just afraid that it will not be able to live, and the days without jī love are really difficult!

I also thought about how many big bells were needed with the rise of this bō Taoism. The business of this bell field, I am afraid that it will get better, and these mechanical things will quickly be known to the world.
