Daming: Ascend to the throne as the emperor, start the game with land gods

Page 111

There is a Ming Dynasty cast iron bell in the southeast corner of the Great Buddha Hall, which weighs [-] kilograms. There is an inscription on it: "The bell resounds through the Vatican Palace, and the ghosts shake through the underworld..."

"White Horse Bell" is one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyi. Whenever the moon is white and the wind is clear and the morning light is first exposed, the monks of the White Horse Temple will go to the hall to chant scriptures, and they will strike the bell to accompany the recitation.

The cast iron bells sound melodious for dozens of miles, and the big bell on the clock tower on the East Street in the city can also resonate with it.

On the contrary, when the bell tower in the city strikes the bell, the bell of Baima Temple can also resonate by itself.

This stuff.

Even a three-year-old child in Luoyi City knows it.

And Fu Wang Zhu Changxun has been in the domain for nearly ten years, and the former emperor and concubine Zheng have also been in Luoyi for seven years.

He didn't even know this.

Be fooled by an old monk.

Gold and silver, land deeds, and precious Buddhist beads were given away as if they didn't need money.

He even promised to renovate the entire Baima Temple and rebuild the golden body of the Mantian Buddha.

Go to White Horse Temple.

Scattered several 10 taels of silver.

The only one in the world.

"However, the White Horse Temple is full of incense. There are few people as stupid as King Fu, but there are quite a few people who generously donate to the Buddha. There must be a lot of gold and silver fields!"

Commander Shen asked himself and answered.

Call thousands of households to read the record of incense in the White Horse Temple.

soon.

Records piled up into a hill.

This is all the information on White Horse Temple that Jin Yiwei has collected since the establishment of the Kingdom.

Including rewards from Emperor Taizu.

"In the tenth year of Hongwu, pilgrims offer incense and offer a hundred taels of silver!"

"In the sixth year of Yongle, when Xiang was visiting the monastery, he saw the novice's face was yellow and thin, and he offered a thousand taels of silver to change the monks' food!"

"In the first year of Hongxi, the pilgrims fulfilled their vows, offering ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels of gold, and one hundred acres of fertile land in Mangshan Mountain!"

"In the fifth year of Xuande, the pilgrims saw that the temple was dilapidated, so they rebuilt the temple and offered 3 taels of silver!"

"In the ninth year of Xuande, the pilgrims saw that the Buddha's golden body was damaged, so they rebuilt the golden body and offered ten thousand taels of gold!"

"..."

The more you look.

Commander Shen was even more surprised.

Over 200 years.

Baima Temple accepts all kinds of incense money, up to tens of millions of taels of silver, and has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land.

According to the laws of the country.

Monks do not pay taxes, are exempted from corvee, and enjoy many preferential treatment.

No production, but very rich, no wonder so many people want to be monks.

"White Horse Temple is like this, what about other temples?"

Commander Shen made a terrifying thought appear in his mind, and said in a panic.

Call Chito again.

Gather information about all registered temples within the country.

"There are three thousand temples in the Kingdom!"

"The scale is no less than that of Baima Temple, there are dozens of big temples such as Shaolin, Lingyin, Hanshan, and Qingjing!"

"This this…"

Commander Shen broke into a cold sweat.

Take the White Horse Temple as an example.

The temple has received hundreds of millions of taels of silver and tens of millions of acres of fertile land over the past 200 years.

As for the contribution to the country, it cannot be said that there is no, but it is also very small.

In a disaster year, the porridge in front of the temple.

In the face of such a huge harvest, it seems so insignificant.

"What about Taoism?"

Commander Shen suddenly thought.

During the period of Emperor Jiajing.

Road.

Even more than Buddha.

Many preferential treatments are added to Taoism.

"Led by dozens of Taoist temples such as Kongtong, Wudang, Baiyun, Qingcheng, etc., there are nearly a thousand Taoist temples in the country, large and small. The previous emperors canonized Taoist celestial masters several times, and even granted marriages for Taoists!"

Commander Shen made the back lapel drenched and murmured.

When Emperor Taizu set up an army to conquer the world, he received guidance and help from Taoist priest Zhou Dian and Taoist priest Zhang Zhong.

During the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu personally wrote "The Immortal Biography of Yu Zhi Zhou Dian".

In the first year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu personally conferred on Zhang Normal the title of "The Master of the Zhengyi Religion, Heir of the 42nd Heavenly Master of the Han Dynasty, Protecting the Country, Explaining the Ancestors, Tongcheng, Advocating the Tao and Hongde".

Give the silver seal and enjoy the second-rank official system.

Since then, there have been summons and gifts almost every year.

During the reign of Emperor Chengzu, Yuan Gong was his counselor.

Emperor Chengzu personally wrote the movement "Daming Imperial Xuanjiao Movement" for him to show his sincerity in admiration for Taoism.

In the tenth year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu decreed to build a large-scale Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain.

Because of Ming Chengzu's worship of Emperor Xuanwu, it has since become the standard law of the country.

The kings of later generations sent special personnel to Wudang Mountain to offer gifts and incense from time to time.

Even though Emperor Renzong had only been in power for a few months and did not take any new measures, he ordered the repair of Taiyue Taihe Mountain Temple.

Emperor Xuanzong named Zhang Yuqing, Zhang Demao and others as Dazheng.

compared to Buddha.

The foundation of Taoism.

Not among the people.
