Wan Lei glanced at Wan Lei, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and seemed to understand something. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said bluntly: "I want to establish Taoism as a state religion. I wonder what lay people think?"

"This is a good thing. Taoism is a local religion and should be established as the state religion." Wan Lei still looked like it had nothing to do with him. The state religion is the religion of a country. Now Shuntian Prefecture is not a state, so naturally it has nothing to do with him.

Hanging up.

The sloppy Taoist Master was also an old man. Seeing Wan Lei's words of approval, but his face was unconcerned. Of course, he understood that Wan Lei would not be able to afford it early, so he took a sip of tea and said: "Householder, Ru Ruo

Our religion helps you establish your country, are you willing to establish our religion as the state religion?"

"That's right!" Wan Lei still shook his head and said: "First of all, our Shuntian Mansion is just a chieftain's mansion and cannot establish a country; furthermore, the people of our Shuntian Mansion advocate truth, goodness and beauty, and Taoism..." Wan Lei stopped talking.

, the meaning could not be more obvious. Taoism is still far from the requirements of truth, goodness and beauty. If it wants to become a state religion, it must first be reformed.

"Then the layman thinks, how can I teach to become a state religion?" The sloppy Taoist priest frowned and asked again.

"The so-called religion is just to establish a spiritual home for the world, so it must first have true principles, good nature, and beautiful heart. If the principles are not true, people will not believe; if the nature is not good, it will lead to disaster; if the heart is not beautiful, it will lead to all kinds of evil. I obey

The people of Tianfu are all simple in nature. If they do not abide by the national religion of truth, goodness and beauty, there will be only disadvantages but no advantages, so it would be nothing if not established."

"I, Taoism, advise people to seek truth, goodness and beauty, which is the teaching of true principles, good nature, and beautiful heart. The establishment of concentration has advantages and no disadvantages."

"Haha, not necessarily." Wan Lei chuckled again, and then said bluntly: "I won't hide it from the Taoist Master. Now that the overall situation of Shuntian Mansion has been achieved, hundreds of industries are waiting to be prospered. If Taoism can be used, I will use it.

If you can't use it, just throw it away. I don't need to establish a religion that is hostile to me."

"I can guarantee that our religion will not be hostile to lay people."

"You are so old, how many years can your guarantee last? If I establish Taoism as the state religion, and your disciples rise up against me, wouldn't that be raising a tiger and causing trouble?" Wan Lei rolled his eyes at the sloppy Taoist priest.

"This..." The sloppy Taoist priest was also speechless, because what Wan Lei was worried about was not impossible, but very possible. In the past, many Taoist disciples were unwilling to be lonely and embarked on the road of pursuing power, and finally lost their reputation and failed.

Taoism has a bad name, but Buddhism knows how to advance and retreat. Regardless of whether it is in power or not, monks generally do not interfere in politics.

"It's not impossible for me to establish your religion as the state religion, but you have to give me an insurance first. Let's make an iron oath. The leader of Taoism will be canonized by the government and promise never to interfere in secular affairs. The Taoist priest will be my Shuntian Fuzi first.

The people are the people in Taoism and there is no legal exemption

Privileges are all the same as those of ordinary people; all Taoist priests who serve as officials must leave the religion and are not allowed to use their power to benefit the religion; Taoism has a quota, and the number cannot exceed 1% of the people; Taoism is divided into parishes, responsible for persuading people to do good deeds and publicity

Justice prohibits Taoist priests from attacking the government with words."

"With so many restrictions, how can our religion develop and grow?" The sloppy Taoist priest was not happy, because according to what Wan Lei said, Taoism would become a vassal of the government, without any independence at all.

"Don't worry, as long as the Taoists keep their status quo, I will give them some more important powers. Of course, the premise is that my power cannot be endangered."

"A more important power? What power?"
