Chapter 76 Ben will support Theravada
Yunfeng stayed in Xingdao County for three full days. As for the eminent monk Zhu Faya of Jie Zhao, he had long forgotten it. In his eyes, Zhu Faya was an insignificant person. Geng Liang might have something worthy of attention. This person
But it's of no value at all. The eminent monk's brand is not very useful in front of him.
Every morning, Yunfeng would go to the riverside pier to inspect the preparations for the naval army. Once it passed noon, he would give himself a day off and enter the play time with the women. However, a larger-scale game like hide-and-seek also
It was just once and there was nothing we could do about it. It was all the result of Geng Wenjun being beaten and crying. What made Yunfeng strange was that Yao Jing was obviously the culprit, but this girl didn't blame her. Instead, she looked at him angrily every time.
It's really speechless
It wasn't until the fourth day that Yun Feng led a group of people and set off back to Nanzheng. However, before leaving, he left a drawing for Jiang Yan, which was the main warship of the Mediterranean countries at the same time.
Its function is similar to that of the stern, mainly destroying enemy ships by collision, but it is larger than the stern, with a length of between 17 and 22 feet, a displacement of about 7,500 stone and 200 tons, and 170 oars.
The main weapon is the bow angle of the ship, and it carries 18 to 50 boarding fighters.
Of course, Yunfeng did not ask Jiang Yan to build it now. Even if he wanted to, the current financial resources would not allow it. Instead, he provided an idea to see what Western warships could learn from. After all, they have been used in the Mediterranean for a long time.
A ship that has been built for more than ten centuries should have its merits. However, Master and Disciple Zhu Faya, who was almost in a state of imprisonment, was just the opposite, feeling depressed.
If you can't go out, you just have to endure it. Anyway, it doesn't matter if the monk chants sutras. The problem is that they only provide one meal before noon every day. It turns out that Yunfeng is entertaining them according to Dabei Temple's standard of not eating after noon. Now that you have chosen to be a monk, you have to do
It’s hard work, but you want to enjoy it? No way
Another point is that the meals provided by Yunfeng are all whole-grain vegetarian food. The monks have not eaten meat since Zhu Faya, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. It is better. He has great skills and can barely endure without eating or drinking for several days, but his disciples cannot.
Basically, it ranges from the advanced stage of Ming Jin to the early and middle stage of Dark Jin. This stage is when the appetite is the largest. Is it possible to eat a vegetarian meal a day? Everyone's stomach is so hungry that they feel dizzy and they don't even have the strength to menstruation.
Read it
On the third day of March, the first thing Yunfeng did when he returned to Nanzheng was to inquire about the progress of household registration and land surveying. The household registration had been mostly completed. However, the fields were much slower. There was no way around it. Unlike dry land, paddy fields involved rivers and ditches.
Pond water volume and many other factors,
It was very troublesome, which made Yunfeng a little anxious. In about ten days, the rice transplanting period would begin. If the land could not be cleared in time, it would affect the rice planting. He had to send more manpower again to try to get it done in half the time.
Complete this work within a month
After some assignments, Yunfeng temporarily calmed down. Wang Gui saw that there were only Yunfeng in the hall, Zhuge Fei's master and servant, and himself. He knew that Zhuge Fei would become a vassal under Yunfeng's crotch sooner or later. As a confidant, he knew this man well.
Very soon, none of the women around him wanted to run away. So, just as he was about to say goodbye, he was pulled by Yunfeng and asked: "How is the situation in the city these days? Is there any trouble?"
Wang Gui saluted and said: "General, don't worry, our army will not disturb the people, what trouble can happen? Besides, the general has been exempted from tax for a year, and it is not too late for the people to be grateful. It's just those few Jie Zhao Taoists who have been deceiving people on the streets a few days ago."
, Hehe, fortunately, General Mo took people there in time, so there was no bad impact."
"Huh?" Yunfeng then remembered the existence of Zhu Faya, and wanted to take advantage of his free time to see what the monk's purpose was, so he ordered: "Invite the Taoist in, don't lose etiquette."
"Yes," Wang Gui responded and walked out.
About half an hour later, a monk came to the main hall. He was about sixty years old, wearing a dirty robe, also known as a cassock, which is made of old cloth pasted on the clothes, or other colors dotted on pure clothes.
a stain
This monk is none other than Zhu Faya. He has a solemn face, one hand raised up, his steps are neither slow nor fast, and his eyes are full of compassion. What is amazing is that with every step he takes, the blood on his body actually emits a heaviness like flowing mercury.
Sound, every breath, a thick white mist about a foot long can be sprayed out of the nostrils
There is a large square in front of Jun Ya Hall, with the main gate of the county at the end, which is more than thirty feet away. However, since Zhu Faya appeared at the gate, his steps have not become faster, and his figure has not increased. He actually took more than ten feet in one step and entered the palace in the blink of an eye.
There is a strong visual contrast in people, and they can't help but feel the desire to worship in their hearts. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is clearly a magic trick, much better than Liu Hong's original magic trick.
"It's so small," Yun Feng secretly praised.
During the walk, Zhu Faya was also secretly observing Yunfeng, and couldn't help but feel shocked. Yunfeng's level was actually the same as him. He knew that using force to suppress people and causing psychological oppression would no longer work, and immediately his momentum suddenly changed.
Collect, Heshi said: "I have seen the general."
Yun Feng returned the greeting and said: "I am so busy with official duties that I have neglected something. This is extremely disrespectful. I apologize for this, Taoist. Please sit down as you please."
After Zhu Faya thanked him and sat down, Yunfeng asked, "It's a long way from Xiangguo to Nanzheng. Why do you, Taoist, come here?"
Zhu Faya answered the question: "Excuse me, General, what is Buddha?"
Yunfeng smiled and said: "Buddha is a great achiever who combines wisdom, virtue and compassion. Everyone in the world has the nature of Buddha and can become a Buddha. Buddha is also a method, a method of cultivating great freedom. The so-called great freedom is freedom.
Self-adaptation, not asking for anything from others, not needing external things, self-perfection, do Taoists think this is true?"
Zhuge Fei was startled. She knew about Yunfeng suppressing the Buddha. She thought she just didn't like it, but she didn't expect that this person knew the Buddha so well.
The most shocked person was Zhu Faya. His purpose of coming this time was to try to persuade Yunfeng to give up measures to suppress Buddhism, and he was about to give a sermon based on the lotus words. However, this person's insightful insights and unique arguments made him understand that Yunfeng
It was not that Feng didn't understand Buddhism, but he was extremely knowledgeable. Especially the statement that everyone has the nature of Buddhism made him enlightened. He had some insights in his heart, and he could no longer say the words he had prepared.
Yunfeng was secretly amused. Talking to him about Buddhism was not just a trick. You know, it had only been two or three hundred years since Buddhism was introduced to the land of China in this era. The school of thought was far from being formed, and he had studied many Buddhist scriptures in his previous life.
There is not much to say, just recite the "Diamond Sutra" once, keep it and be respected as a great monk
But does Yung Summit spread Buddhism? It’s impossible even if you think about it.
It took Zhu Faya a long time to come to his senses, and he saluted again: "I never expected that the general would have such a profound understanding of the Buddha, which really makes me admire him. However, since the general is well versed in the Dharma, why would he do something to suppress the Buddha?"
Yunfeng asked: "How can I suppress the Buddha?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhu Faya, even Zhuge Fei's master and servant were quite disdainful. Do you have the guts to do it or admit it? Even though Zhu Faya has a high level of cultivation, a nameless karma can't help but rush to the top of his head, and he can't help but speak
Slightly aggravated: "The Buddha lived in Jiangdong, and the two Zhaos were very
The whole country was respected by everyone, but the general forced the Taoist to return to secular life, robbed the temple property, and treated the Taoist like a beggar. What is this if not suppressing the Buddha? What's more, the poor Taoist preached Buddhism, but he was driven away and imprisoned by the soldiers in the city. The general
What’s the explanation?”
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Yunfeng pretended to be stupid and said: "I will investigate it strictly" and then changed his voice: "I heard that a hundred years after Sakyamuni passed away, there was a group of Li tribe monks named Yashe, Youhua
When he went to the city of Vaishali in the east, he saw the monks of the Vazhi clan urging lay followers to donate money for the monks to buy what they needed. Yasa thought that the monks receiving gold and silver were not in compliance with the precepts, so they raised objections and were ostracized by the Vazhi monks.
Yasa then went to various places in the west and invited seven hundred monks to come to Vaisali to discuss the matter. As a result, Bhikkhu Vazhi was ruled illegal. Bhikkhu Vazhi refused to accept it and summoned ten thousand more bhikkhus to gather together. Buddhism has since been divided into two factions to support the bhikkhu who should not be accepted.
Those who beg for money are called Theravadas, and Bhikkhu Bhikkhu is called the Samajwadi.
I support Theravada, so I confiscated the monastery’s property so that it can understand the true meaning of Sakyamuni. As for returning to secular life, it is a Taoist’s voluntary choice and has nothing to do with me. How can a Taoist say that I am suppressing the Buddha?”
Zhu Faya was speechless. He understood that the great Taoists in China only used metaphysics to explain Buddhist scriptures. As for the history of Buddhism split mentioned by Yunfeng, he was sure that no more than ten people in China knew about it. Could it be this person?
"Have you been to Shendu India? Or has his elders been there?" Zhu Faya was a little confused.
Until this time, Zhu Faya took it for granted that the reason why Yunfeng only provided one meal per day was due to different sects.
However, there was a faint feeling in his heart that this person was quite arrogant. But when it came to this point, Zhu Faya couldn't believe it. Yunfeng insisted that he supported Theravada. It was not that he did not respect the Buddha, but that he was in line with most people.
Good believers believe in different things, and no one can tell who is right and wrong between Theravada and the Mass. It is a confusing account.
He felt that there was not much point in staying in Nanzheng anymore. He had to report this matter to his master Fotucheng, so he stood up and said: "The general's intentions are clear to me, so I will take my disciples with me."
Return to Xiangguo and say goodbye."
Yunfeng returned the greeting and said, "Taoist, walk slowly."
Zhu Faya didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.
After the figure disappeared outside the door of the mansion, Zhuge Fei praised: "The general's literary talent is outstanding, and his Buddhist teachings are also profound, which really makes the slave family admire him."
Yun Feng shook his head and sighed: "What's the use of literature and Buddhism to the country? It can't be used as money, nor can it be used as food. Alas, all the rhetoric is just rhetoric."
For a moment, Zhuge Fei's pretty face turned red. She was sure that if she had a pair of normal eyes, she would definitely glare at her. She really wanted to jump and scold her. How could you be like this? How could you be so disgraceful?
Interesting? (To be continued)
