Chapter 48: Jiezhou Fa Conference

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was reluctant to do so. He almost immediately went to Zhizhou and issued an imperial edict to send people to the palaces and temples all over the world.

The three major problems of the Northern Song Dynasty were redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses. Wang Anshi's reforms changed over and over again, but he did not dare to involve these issues at all. What is the purpose of increasing revenue and not reducing expenditure, that is, he tried his best to save money from the people, but he did not think of ways to stop the three redundant soldiers and save the expenses of the court. He had the style of a prosperous country and a poor country in the later generations.

The court's annual tax revenue was 70 to 80 million jin, but it exceeded its expenditure every year and had a deficit every year. No matter how powerful Cai Jing made money, he suddenly learned less about Chi, which is more than 10 million jin per year, accounting for almost one-fifth of the court's income. It was also very difficult to even pay the soldiers' military pay.

Such a thing happened, even the heartless Song Huizong Zhao Ji could not sit still in the palace. Given the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, how many mutinies did the Tang Dynasty fail to pay military salaries? Even the emperor was driven out of Chang'an City.

The Song Dynasty was the most taboo about this matter, and military expenditures accounted for 70% of the income. The court had to grit its teeth and persevere in such a terrifying proportion. When he heard that he could hardly even pay the military pay, Zhao Ji felt that his throne was not so steadily. He was scared to wake up several times when he went to bed at night, for fear of mutiny and chaos, and the rioters rushed into the palace. He wished he could urge him every day to ask Wen Fei to quickly repair the salt pond.

Wen Fei asked him to come forward and call the Taoist sect in the world. At this time, he could repair Jiechi. Zhao Ji was willing to agree to anything. Don’t say that the Taoist sect in the world was presided over the Luotian ceremony.

Even if these Taoists don’t give Wen Fei a face, they have to give the emperor a face. However, in just two or three days, the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient and the information transmission speed was extremely slow. Even if it was rushing for 600 miles, it had not been sent to Tokyo City.

However, Taoist priests from some prefectures and counties near Jiezhou first received Wen Fei’s imperial edict, and many of them sent people to come over. However, there are many ordinary Taoist priests, and few Taoist priests who practice.

As soon as Chen Niwan came back, he indeed brought good news. Zhang Jixian had already agreed and would come to Jiezhou with his disciples soon.

It’s just that from Jiangxi to Shanxi, it took one or two days to take a bus in later generations. In this era, the fastest means of transportation were all by boat, and Zhang Jixian had to invite many fellow workers to come and set up a venue for Wen Fei. Otherwise, there would be too few people coming, and it should be noted that Wen Fei, the Taoist leader, is not good-looking.

After waiting for more than ten days, Zhang Jixian had not arrived yet. Instead, another unexpected person arrived. It was Liu Hunkang, the Maoshan Sect. Not only did he come alone, but he also brought hundreds of people. They were all disciples of the Maoshan Shangqing Sect, and some friends in love.

After receiving the news, Wen Fei suddenly "hissed" and took a breath from hiss. Could this Liu Hunkang be here to make trouble? He has always regarded Mr. Huayang as an imaginary enemy. He has given this Maoshan master a lot of eye drops in front of Zhao Ji. Who asked the Taoist priest Wang Yuncheng, who used the Nightmare Conquering Method in the Palace to harm him, was a Maoshan Taoist priest, and he was so desperate. It was Liu Hunkang's disciple who came...

Wen Fei made full preparations and brought out Lin Lingsu, Chen Niwan, Wang Wenqing and the other three. They were all ready to turn against each other at that time, so Wen Fei was fully prepared and did not go out to greet him. He waited for Liu Hunkang to come to see him and gave him a warning first.

But he didn't expect that Liu Hunkang was very respectful and actually came to pay homage to him. He spoke and said, "Maoshan Shangqing Taoist priests, please see the Taoist master, protecting the country, the Taoist master!"

This scene was shocked. Wen Fei was restless and thought about everything, but he didn't expect that Liu Hunkang would make such a fuss... For a moment, Wen Fei was at a loss.

Liu Hunkang then expressed his loyalty and said, "We have already gone to Beijing and are preparing to visit the leader, but we don't expect to borrow the leader's imperial edict and dare not be negligent. We are rushing to Jiezhou!"

"That...that...that...," Wen Fei really didn't know what to say. After holding it in for a long time, he said: "Mr. Huayang has come far away and I'll have to rest. Please wait until the evening to vacuum the teacher..."

Similar words. Wen Fei has already said too much these days, and more and more Taoist priests have arrived nearby these days. As the leader of the sect, Wen Fei always has to meet him and comfort him with a few words of warm words.

However, Wen Fei did not understand a truth. When Zhao Ji enthroned him, the greatest power he gave him was to take charge of Taoist affairs in the world. The talisman Academy was naturally under the jurisdiction of Wen Fei, and only recognized the sutras issued by Wen Fei. Originally, all sects could open the main hall, such as the Maoshan sect had the "Shangqing Altar", the Lingbao sect had the "Lingbao Altar", and the Xishan sect had the "Jingming Altar".

Granting scriptures.

But now the court only recognizes the certificates issued by Shenxiao Mansion. Without the certificates issued by Shenxiao Mansion, it is not considered a Taoist priest. At least the court does not allow you to be a Taoist priest.

However, this power is in the hands of Wen Fei, all Taoists in the world must obey the orders.

Originally, only after the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi was named "Zhengyi Sect Master" and led the talismans of the three mountains. Therefore, the talismans of the three mountains (including Jingming) were all taken over by the talismans of the Han Tianshi in Longhu Mountain, and changed the "Zhengyi Xuantan" to "Zhengyi Sect Altar". Since then, the talisman of the Wanfa Sect became the only altar of the Zhengyi Sect and was also an important symbol of the Tianshi Mansion as the Taoist ancestral temple.

But now Wen Fei has cut off the talismans one step ahead of time, and all the major sects in the world have been taken into the Shenxiao Mansion. Wen Fei has one of the greatest powers of Taoism. Therefore, Wen Fei's decree is so easy to use... If he only has a false reputation and has no actual power, he would not know how many people would pay attention to Master Wen!

So, Wen Fei thought secretly that although Zhao Ji was not very good as an emperor, he was really good at himself. So he disagreed with what Chen Niwan secretly told him in private. If you don’t say it, I also know that those Jurchens would establish the Jin Kingdom and destroy the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

But don’t forget that Master Wen is a time traveler. This time traveler has nothing to change history. Moreover, at most, he will be able to make a fortune in one time travel. He is afraid of Jurchens when he goes around. At worst, the leader will think of a way to get tens of thousands of machine guns to see if the Jurchens are powerful in cavalry or the bullets of this leader are powerful...

As a vested interest, it would be too stupid to betray your country!

Wen Fei always felt a little uneasy when sending Liu Hunkang and the disciples of Maoshan to rest. He felt that Liu Hunkang's attitude was a little weird. He was always a little uneasy. He always felt that Liu Hunkang was so obedient, was he making some ideas behind his back? (To be continued.
