Chapter 368: Choosing Jiding Yanshan and Opening the Mountain (II)
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no such thing as free money.
After hearing Liu Xing's words, the five elders of the Shenxiao faction all understood one thing: Liu Xing wanted to use the Shenxiao faction to cooperate with the absolute top education system in the Northern Song Dynasty, and use ten years or more to sinicize the Yan Kingdom and Western Xia from the ideological and cultural aspects.
A nation can be regarded as a nation if it has its own culture, and it can also be called a nation if it has its own traditions. Culture comes from civilization, and the inheritance of civilization lies in education. Traditions, on the other hand, are often influenced by religion, which is the source of the idea of an independent nation.
Liu Xing's purpose in doing this was to use the advanced cultural and educational system to first turn the future children of the Western Xia and Yan Kingdoms into a group of people who only knew Chinese characters and could only speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty but could not speak their own language.
Liu Xing did this in order to let the religion of the Demon Sect and the Demon Clan gradually be replaced by the Shenxiao Sect, a religion that combines the ideas of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, from the territory of Western Xia and Yan, and completely expel the Demon Sect and the Demon Spirit from the land of the two countries. As a result, after a few decades, there are no more demons and demons in the two countries, and some are just ordinary people who believe in the Shenxiao sect like the Central Plains.
Only by doing this, Liu Xing dared to believe that even if there was a war in the future, it would only be a simple agreement to have conflicts within the national system for competing interests, and there would no longer be a bloody war of slaughter and extermination like now.
Only under the heavy reward can there be brave men, and under the heavy reward will make people do their best.
Therefore, using and turning his sect into a tool to control the thoughts of foreign races and sinicize the people of different races, Liu Xing could only choose to take money and food to make the disciples of the sect more dedicated......
Faced with this situation, the five elders of the Shenxiao Sect led by Sa Shoujian quickly became no longer surprised.
They all knew very well in their hearts what kind of person their sect master was. In order to achieve the end, unscrupulous means, in order to end the catastrophe, everything available can be used as a tool, but it does not lose humanity and faith.
Follow such a suzerain. They will all get far more in terms of personal benefits than Wang Wenqing could have given before he was promoted. Because Liu Xing is a person who can do things and do good things. Such as Yang Yizhong, such as Wang Mingde, etc., and even Zong Ze and Zhang Suo were treated to the point of admiration.
This is also reflected in the officialdom of the Northern Dynasties today. The capable are up, the mediocre are down, and the high salary and incorruptibility all fully show that Liu Xing is a firm believer in pragmatism.
Since everything is practical, we will surely know how to reward practical people. This made it clear to the five elders that as long as they completed the task of spreading the Shenxiao Sect and turning it into the main sect of Yan and Xia, they would definitely gain fame and fortune at that time......
Knowing this in his heart, Sa Shoujian quickly took over: "Sect Master, build Guanyu and open a foundation." It takes a lot of manpower to do it and do it well, so where do you want me to do it? ”
The issue of labor is destined to be a very important one. Without sufficient labor, it is impossible to build enough buildings and pavilions for 3,000 disciples to live and practice.
He can ask questions, but Liu Xing has already planned. After Sa Shoujian's questioning, Liu Xing immediately replied: "Isn't there hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of my Great Song Dynasty in Jiagu Xie Nu's hands?" Those people returned to my Great Song Dynasty, and it was difficult for them to immediately distribute all the land to them. Instead of letting them return directly to the Central Plains to be a burden to the imperial court, it is better to let them stay here and earn money to settle down and start a business first. ”
After a slight pause in his words, Liu Xing looked sideways at Yuan Tingzhi again: "Senior Brother Yuan, cultivators pay attention to merit. I hope that when those captives, my Han compatriots, really come here to exchange their labor for money to settle down and start a business, you must not be too stingy. I don't think I want to hear people say that my Shenxiao Sect is an extremely stingy black-hearted sect that withholds money and food from labor. ”
Every family. There will be a person who is good at managing money and a housekeeper, so that a family's small life can be prosperous.
Every country needs a group of people who are good at making careful calculations to ensure that there is no deficit in expenditure and that the social system is stable.
In the same way, Yuan Tingzhi is a person who can not only make careful calculations, but also be good at managing money. However, a person like him usually has a problem: he likes to calculate small accounts, likes to calculate, and is often a miser's temperament.
If he didn't have this temperament, Wang Wenqing really didn't dare to hand over the entire Shenxiao Sect's financial and economic affairs to him.
If it weren't for his temperament, Liu Xing would not have been using the Shenxiao Sect disciples as his Dao pioneers for so long, going around fighting fires and charging without worrying about the lack of money and food, which would cause the disciples to be dissatisfied.
However, it was also his stinginess and careful calculation that made Liu Xing worry that he would pick the door and get home, and once he picked the wrong place, it would affect the reputation of the Shenxiao faction and even the entire Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty, thus causing a great bad impact on the people......
Hearing Liu Xing warn him like this, Yuan Tingzhi smiled innocently: "I understand, I can't affect the society because of this matter, let alone let my Shenxiao faction be blamed because of this, I still understand what it is." What's more, the money and food are all given by you to the court, why should I be so stingy! ”
"Oh, the money and food are not yours, and you are ready to squander it on me?" Hearing Yuan Tingzhi's words, Liu Xing pretended to be angry, stared at him and said this first.
Without waiting for him to answer, Liu Xing immediately changed his tone and said, "Don't worry, I don't want you to be stingy, and I won't give you a chance to squander." You take those 500 disciples to stay here first, and when I go back, I will send people from the household department to help you. All the laborers who built the Nine Heavens Temple and Zixiao Palace of our Shenxiao Sect should be paid double the amount of normal labor in the Central Plains. ”
"Okay, everything is in accordance with the sect master's decree!"
Yuan Tingzhi lowered his head after hearing Liu Xing's words, but his face showed a very reluctant and distressed expression.
Seeing his expression, Liu Xing knew that he must have heard that he must have heard that he would hire those who were about to return to the Central Plains according to double the money and grain of the Central Plains, and he was distressed again.
If you entangle with him too much, he is still a miser. Rather than that, think about something else. Liu Xing couldn't help but smile lightly again, but didn't speak to him again.
"Zixiao Palace, Nine Heavens Temple."
Just when Liu Xing looked at Yuan Tingzhi and laughed silently, Sa Shoujian on the side frowned and said, "Sect Master, the name of the palace is very good, but isn't the name of the main hall a little disrespectful to Heavenly Court!" This Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens, but the exclusive title of Heavenly Court! ”
Hearing this, Liu Xing's face turned pale, and he said with a sneer: "Bullshit Heavenly Court, will the young master care about them?" Those sanctimonious guys will only treat us like toys. Okay, Xiao Ye is not subject to their constraints, and I will use the name of Jiuxiao as the name of the main hall of my Shenxiao faction. If they have the ability, they will come to me, and God will condemn me to bear it alone. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Xing looked up at the sky but didn't say anything more, because the words of challenging the heavenly court and cursing the emperor could only be said in his heart. If you tell the group of old Taoist priests around you who are in awe of the gods, it will definitely attract a burst of chatter and dissuasion. (To be continued......)
