Chapter 182: Religious Countermeasures
The drilling team is looking for oil on the coast of the Bohai Sea. This is obviously just a move by Zhu Youxiao to take a chance. After all, many oil wells have to be drilled below two or three thousand meters before they can be found.↖↖小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
If you can drill out of the oil well, you can develop the refining industry. Since Zhu Youxiao has compiled chemical textbooks, refining is still no problem, it is just a problem of technology. But technology has always been driven by commercial interests. If you continue to develop slowly, technology will naturally become advanced.&1t;/p>
These days, oil can be used to extract kerosene and can replace the vegetable oil used by ordinary people for lighting. These days, people generally use vegetable oil for lighting, such as cottonseed oil that cannot be eaten.&1t;/p>
Obviously, it is unlikely to drill oil for a while. This is like a lottery, but even if you can't drill oil, you can at least cultivate drilling technology.&1t;/p>
If there is no demand for a technology, there will be no exhibition. Such drilling activities are supported by state machinery and are still affordable in terms of cost. The exhibition of drilling technology will also drive exhibitions in mechanical manufacturing and other aspects. This money is obviously not in vain.&1t;/p>
After a period of development, the drilling technology of the Royal Drilling Team has made significant progress compared with previous technologies. In terms of drilling tools, artificial steel machinery has increased significantly. The drilling technology in Sichuan is sufficient to meet the demand on-site materials, so the expansion is relatively slow.&1t;/p>
At this time, the Royal Drilling Team had a higher demand for drilling depth and had a certain industrial foundation. Drilling technology suddenly made a significant progress. This technological progress has made no changes in the essence of drilling technology. It is just that the tools have been improved and can drill deeper.&1t;/p>
The first well drilled by the Royal Drilling Team in the Bohai Bend quickly exceeded one thousand meters, reaching more than one thousand, one hundred meters. What was disappointing was that there was no oil at all, and even no oil sand was seen.&1t;/p>
"It doesn't matter, let's continue to get into another place." The captain who led the team was not discouraged. Anyway, the task assigned to him by the emperor was to find oil, and he didn't need to consider the funds.&1t;/p>
Historically, Americans opened oil fields and merchants invested in drilling. Sometimes, if an oil well cannot drill oil, it is likely to go bankrupt. Those who drilled oil may become rich overnight. At this time, the Ming Dynasty drilling oil was supported by the state machinery, and failure cannot prevent the continued drilling action.&1t;/p>
…&1t;/p>
After the rebellion of the Wenxiang Cult, subsequent accountability was also underway. Local officials who abandoned the city and fled, all their homes were confiscated. Xu Hongru and a group of Wenxiang Cult backbones were arrested. Those who should be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to
However, the Yinxiang Sect was not completely eliminated. The founder of the Yinxiang Sect was named Wang Lin. He was previously imprisoned and died by the court. The Wang clan is still the senior controller of the Yinxiang Sect. However, this time, Xu Hongru was revealed in advance by the government and had to raise trouble in advance. The Wang clan is still at large.&1t;/p>
In history, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Wang clan embraced the Qing Dynasty and was rewarded after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Later, he participated in political events and was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty.&1t;/p>
How to deal with these cults is a headache for Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao quickly summoned Zhang Xianyong, the head of the Wudang Mountain Zhengyi School, to meet him. After asking, he was a little disappointed with the current Taoism.&1t;/p>
Taoism at this time seemed to be quite prosperous, with Taoist temples everywhere. After all, Taoism, as an official religion, especially the Zhengyi Sect of Zhang Tianshi, was even more honored by the royal family, and the temples of the Zhengyi Sect are almost the royal private temples.&1t;/p>
However, the favorable treatment has led the Zhengyi Cult to "degenerate" and has been mixed into many cunning people in the market.&1t;/p>
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Taoism at this time has completely lost its religious extremes. Instead, it is not like a religion, but an institution that studies Taoist academics.&1t;/p>
Once religion loses its extremeness, it will weaken. The more popular religions, especially cults that can spread rapidly in a short period of time, the stronger the extremeness.&1t;/p>
Taoism in the Ming Dynasty also made some efforts in preaching. That is, it secularized the Taoist inner alchemy technique, so that ordinary believers can also take some care of their bodies by practicing the "simplified version" inner alchemy technique. In fact, this is also a Taoist thing and has little to do with religion.&1t;/p>
Moreover, the simplified version of the inner alchemy technique is often adopted by cults. For example, the scented fragrance sect copied the Taoist "simplified version" inner alchemy technique. A certain wheel in later generations claimed that it could cure diseases without injections or medicine, but in fact it was just copying the inner alchemy technique popularized by Taoism in the secular world.&1t;/p>
The official propaganda is naturally a denial. It is fake. It is impossible to explain any internal alchemy to the public. However, so many people who have come into contact with this cult have been confused about it for so many years, because these people have indeed seen with their own eyes that some people have improved after practicing internal alchemy, but they do not understand what internal alchemy is, and they do not know that this thing is not a wheel, but a thing that Taoism was popular in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
During the Ming Dynasty, Taoism had moved closer to the academic direction and did not use religious energy fields to preach. It has become an official 'mascot'.&1t;/p>
However, the mascot of Zhengyi Sect has been quite long. In the 21st century, Zhang Tianshi still enjoyed the official vice presidential organization of the Taoist association.&1t;/p>
At this time, Zhang Xianyong, the head of Zhengyi Sect, was the 65th generation descendant.&1t;/p>
This hereditary iron rice bowl is obviously the root of depravity. In contrast, Quanzhen Sect, which does not have an official iron rice bowl, is much more successful than Zhengyi Sect. However, Quanzhen Sect also moves closer to the academic direction, and its missionary ability is much worse than that of Buddhism.&1t;/p>
This kind of religion without extremes is fine to be regarded as a mascot, but it is obviously not very effective to use it to control Yin God.&1t;/p>
China has been called the "Kingly Way Land" since ancient times. The reason for this is that China is not like a land of barbarians outside the world. It has no management of these natural forces. The Chinese tribes in ancient times were themselves Taoist practice civilizations. But some of them were unwilling to practice. So they could not live their lives. The Datong society ended and split into the world of practice and secular world.&1t;/p>
Almost all the elites of the ancient Chinese remained in the world of cultivation. When the secular world was first separated, because they had no words and had low productivity, and they had to enjoy themselves, they became slave society. Later, they developed their writing and productivity and became overly in feudal society.&1t;/p>
Before the Qin Dynasty, the practice world still had some contacts with the secular world. The practice world even intervened in the secular world. Later, they simply let it go, and the two sides did not interact with each other.&1t;/p>
Even so, the "Heaven Court" established by the cultivation world still has management for the secular Yin Gods. Those Yin Gods maintained a harmonious order under the management of the heavens. However, after the Taoism in the secular world was officially incorporated, Taoism started business competition with the heavens with the support of the secular world. The cultivation world simply withdrew the business of the heavens in the secular world and threw it all to the secular world.&1t;/p>
When the Heavenly Court still existed, the Yin Gods in the Secular World were all enthroned by Heavenly Court. After the Heavenly Court abolished the Secular World business, the Yin Gods became enthroned by Taoism, which was officially organized. This was the case during the Tang and Song dynasties.&1t;/p>
During the Ming Dynasty, the court still enthroned the local Yin Shen. In the instructions for taking office written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, officials should also visit local effective temples after taking office to conduct sacrificial activities such as "spring sacrifice". I hope that the Yin Shen will not disturb the normal climate because they did not pay protection fees.&1t;/p>
However, in addition to enthronement, this kind of management of Yin Gods obviously also has punitive measures to punish those monsters and monsters who make trouble on the ground. Unfortunately, Taoism was no longer successful and fell into a state of depravity under the iron rice bowl system. At this time, Zhu You proofreaded the monsters and monsters who made trouble in North China.&1t;/p>
To put it bluntly, Chinese religions have not taken the extreme route since ancient times. They adopt the "feudal system", and local Yins have drawn territories and built temples one by one. Unlike Westerners, they adopt the "monologism" religion's trust monopoly system.&1t;/p>
As people worship too many people, a large group of Yin Gods will be worshipped. If there are not so many people worship, Yin Gods will not be able to gain the power of incense and will naturally dissipate. Therefore, if you believe, there is, and if you don’t believe, there is no. This sentence does not mean that if you don’t believe in this thing, there is nothing, but that if you don’t believe in this thing, there is nothing.&1t;/p>
When people don’t believe in Yin God, as long as one person believes, those who believe can taste the sweetness. So smart people start to trade with Yin God and become propaganda team members for Yin God, attracting more people to burn incense. Some little ghosts with low magic power cannot show their holy presence in front of others and are hungry again, so they choose to trade with wealthy businessmen. Just ordinary people play the Pen Xian game, and all the little ghosts respond to the temple. However, those children who play the Pen Xian game don’t know the truth that ‘It’s easy to ask God to send God’. There are reports in later news. A group of students learn to play the Pen Xian game, but they are scared to be hospitalized collectively. Afterwards, the Brigade refuted the rumors that these students are collectively hysterical.&1t;/p>
Obviously, the movie only taught them how to invite God, but did not teach them how to send God. The Yin God thought, grandma, came over to answer the questions for you. You didn’t even mean to worship me. Do you let me go? So I angrily punished!&1t;/p>
Chinese can do better than natives in Southeast Asia. In addition to being more diligent, culture is obviously an important factor. Overseas Chinese people have the most contact with the City God Temple culture before going abroad. They know how to trade with Yin God. Chinese temples in Southeast Asia are almost everywhere. After all, a group of Chinese people are helpless overseas. Everyone chooses a Yin God to worship them to ensure safety.&1t;/p>
Yin Shen in the southern region can still play a wide role in protecting one side. As long as you don’t do bad things, those messy things on the Yin Shen’s territory will not dare to harm people. Many criminals who commit extremely bad crimes are often caught due to various coincidences, and many are the result of Yin Shen’s punishment.&1t;/p>
After all, the people on the territory are more or less popular with them. Even if you don’t give you a wish, Yin Shen may help you when you encounter danger.&1t;/p>
Due to urbanization in the 21st century, rural temples gradually declined, and many Yin Gods began to show their trustworthiness market to cities. Usually, they found a spokesperson as a bridge for communication with believers, provided fortune telling, divination, and other businesses, and then obtained trustworthiness of incense. The spokesperson obtained money, and both parties took their needs. If you say it was a scam, there were indeed a scam. However, if you can invite Yin Gods in the temple, it is unlikely to deceive. The Yin Gods in the temple are of better quality than the lonely ghosts outside.&1t;/p>
Those who invite gods, as long as they can invite Yin God with good magic power, it is very easy to buy a house for a few years. This has also led to many people in later generations who see God making money and go to learn to invite God. Some people do not have the talent to be strong, but they are not Yin Gods, but messy little ghosts, and they end up being crazy. Some people who invite them are little ghosts, whose magic power is too low. They have no use, so they can only rely on tricks.&1t;/p>
It has been a place where dealings with God have been accused of the Chinese since ancient times. This is also what Westerners have criticized the Chinese people later, saying that the Chinese have no faith and their attitude of worshiping God is inappropriate. In fact, this is Westerners' stupidity and have not yet stepped out of the level of being deceived by religion.&1t;/p>
On the other hand, do you have to rush up and kneel down and lick it? China has the foundation of Taoist culture, and is very clear about the essence of these gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts. There is no sense of mystery, so naturally it will not produce faith from the heart.&1t;/p>
The Chinese believe in everything, but in fact they don’t believe in anything. Worshiping God is indeed making a deal with God. The only Chinese believe in it is probably because they believe in their ancestors.&1t;/p>
The problem Zhu Youxiao faced at this time was that there was no big solution to these Yin Gods. If it was completely prohibited, it would be obviously too extreme. The Yin God system still has certain positive significance to the local area. At this time, the Yin God Order in the South was obviously very good.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, it's easy to deal with Yin Shen. You just need to get rid of the firewood from the cauldron and demolish the temple that caused Yin Shen to mess with him." After the cabinet assistant Shen Wei turned his eyes and thought of a solution.&1t;/p>
"Is this method reliable?" Zhu Youxiao asked.&1t;/p>
"It's not completely reliable, but it's still relatively reliable." Chen Yan replied, "It was demolished for a while, and it was impossible to prevent them from starting a new furnace. However, if the temple was demolished, there would be some losses on the incense, and the court could still hold on to it. If the emperor did this, he would carry out in-depth reforms on local administration, from extensive management to precise management, and could control the temple specifications. Those Yins who cooperated with local governments to govern the local government and allowed them to build larger temples, those who dragged their legs would demolish their temples, or prohibit them from building larger temples."&1t;/p>
"The temple is big and small, don't the people worship the same?"&1t;/p>
"With that being said, the temple is a storefront for the Yin God. The bigger the temple, the more pilgrims it can attract." Chen Yan said, "Ordinary people usually have the mentality of ensuring peace when they come to decent temples. They will worship them regardless of whether they have gods or not. However, the small temples on the roadside usually do not care much. Therefore, the size of the temple is like the storefront of shops on the street. There are naturally many high-end customers, and people disdain for them."&1t;/p>
"This time, Shandong heard the incense sect and rebellion, Your Majesty can issue an order to prohibit the people from worshiping the old mother of the birth. At the same time, it can be widely enthroned by the Yin God, who is well-known in Shandong. After receiving the imperial court, it will at least have some feelings for the imperial court." Chen Yan's suggestion is entirely from the perspective of ruling interests. Like all dynasties, the Yin God is tied to the same interest chariot to maintain the stability of local rule.&1t;/p>
After thinking about it, Chen Wei continued: "This time, the missionary personnel are the key to the incense smuggling in chaos. The court can also strictly control the missionary. Once this abnormal spread occurs, it can be suppressed immediately. The unrest can be strangled at the source."&1t;/p>
"Haha! My dear method is very good. Just follow this plan and the cabinet will come up with a plan immediately." Zhu Youxiao didn't worry about this problem for a moment, and then he would just leave it to the cabinet to handle it. This problem doesn't require him to continue to have a headache.&1t;/p>
"I obey the order." Chen Wei said. The plan he proposed was actually implemented by all dynasties. The Ming Dynasty has been doing the management of missionary preaching. First, the Ming Dynasty in this era prohibited Christianity from preaching in China and suppressed externally imported religions. At the same time, cults that appeared internally also had precautions. Wang Lin, who had previously founded the incense sacrificial sect, was imprisoned by the court.&1t;/p>
In Zhu Youxiao's mind, there is actually a better solution, that is, to enlighten the people. Let the people fully understand what these things are, so why do you have to monopolize this information?&1t;/p>
Later generations have monopolized this information, and the main reason is to trace the "May Fourth Movement" incited by Sun Dapao. This movement is a farce in which students who were immature in their minds and drank some foreign ink casually were incited by Sun Dapao's revolutionary party to slander traditional culture.&1t;/p>
China is based on Taoist culture, and those who are really capable are too lazy to argue with the hot-headed students. Later, Jiang Guangtou sat in the country for 28 years, and the May Fourth Movement became a banner that represents orthodoxy. In that era, Sun Dapao was a saint among those groups that accepted Western culture, so he could only continue to carry this banner. Since then, China began to completely westernize. Westerners engage in atheism, and China also engage in atheism, and there is no need to consider any national conditions. The simpler and rougher it is, the easier it is to execute it.&1t;/p>
Little do people know that Westerners engage in atheism because with the development of capitalism, capitalists want to seize power from religion. Just when Western capitalists were trying to overthrow religious authority, Darwin wrote a book called "Evolution", and he felt like he had a treasure and immediately regarded it as the truth. In his later years, Darwin admitted that this was an immature work of his youth.&1t;/p>
In contrast, Japan has a more thorough understanding of the theory of evolution during World War II. However, Japan has also become obsessed with it and has developed a system where the emperor is the incarnation of the great god Amaterasu.&1t;/p>
To put it bluntly, religions around the world are linked to the interests of rule. Just look at whether the rulers are stupid or not. Those who are stupid are played with by religions, while those who are smart are playing with religions.&1t;/p>
As long as the people understand religion and the essence of Yin God, if they still don’t worship at that time, that is their freedom. However, if the Yin God wants to cause trouble, no one will respond. It is not so easy for the charlatan to cheat money.&1t;/p>
As for Taoism, since it is no longer extreme, it is good to maintain this state. It is not bad for ordinary academic activities and to move closer to Taoism. The court does not lack that little money, so continue to be a mascot! (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
ps: The second update is here!&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
