Red Alert 1895

Chapter 583: God to God, Caesar to Caesar (Part 2)

These religious people have heard so much content that restricts religion, and this immediately makes them completely fried. ⊥, Wang Guorui is completely digging out their roots, not only restricting them to go out for activities, restricting them to go outside to absorb people, restricting them to alms alms, and now even restricting their opportunities to operate industries. Although Wang Guorui didn't say anything about completely prohibiting religious people from engaging in business, he would have to pay twenty times the tax burden from this, which is definitely more ruthless than the explicit ban. This method is simply too ruthless, so that they have no chance to earn income. If taxes are to be raised twenty-fold, to what extent should their products or business be increased? Is it still competitive with others?

Don't think that these monks and Taoists just know how to chant scriptures, many of them are "business experts". These guys have maintained a wealthy life in Taoist temples for many years, how could they not be proficient in business? If they are not proficient in business, how can they obtain wealth to support everyone. Just like in later generations, the abbots and abbots of many temples in later generations are actually all owned by the same company. They are not real religious people, and their beliefs are also very worrying! Although this era is better, it is not much better.

"Humph, since monks, Taoists, and nuns are religious people, it's enough to study religious teachings well. Why do you need to do business outside like this? Our government will allocate funds as appropriate, and then let you survive. Don't worry about having no income. Then it becomes unsustainable. Our government will take the initiative to help you survive. At that time, you can be carefree, you don’t need to go out to do business, you don’t need to go out to do business to subsidize temples and Taoist temples, and you can also obtain stable living and research conditions. Alright! As monks, Taoists, nuns, don’t you all advocate purity of heart and asceticism? So, it’s fine to have a meal, and you should focus on studying the teachings instead of thinking about other things.” Wang Guorui said .

"..." All the monks, priests and nuns were speechless.

Wang Guorui's words were deliberate. They all advocate asceticism, but once it comes to them, they may not be able to accept it. It's okay to let others be ashamed. But let themselves be pure-minded, they haven't reached this level yet. If they achieve this state, then they directly become Buddhas! Therefore, there is a rich abbot in the poor temple, and this is what he said. There are too many people in this world who become monks and become religious for profit. So they are not for the sake of asceticism.

Especially in China, since ancient times there has been no room for any real religion to survive. Most of you are not familiar with that doctrine, and only ask for blessings from the Buddha and Bodhisattva simply for the sake of getting a promotion or wealth, a happy son, or something like "holding Buddha's feet temporarily". Some even chose to become a monk to atone for their sins after doing something wrong. It is conceivable how such a situation can lead to true religious belief? If you don't use benefits to attract people, how can you make people become monks and priests?

Finally, these monks, Taoists and nuns couldn't bear it anymore and chose to be furious.

"My lord, don't you treat us servants of the heaven so harshly, don't you fear the punishment of the heavens? So, how can you obtain the blessings of the heavens, how can you obtain the destiny of the heavens?" A Taoist priest immediately angrily said.

Wang Guorui laughed loudly and said, "What era is destiny? You still want to use this method to threaten me? Do you think I believe in destiny? Do you think I still use destiny to fool the people?" , to fool the people? Do you think that I am destined to win the world? I don’t even believe that I belong to the destiny, and I don’t want the people to be so ignorant. Let me tell you, the world depends on them. !"

Wang Guorui pointed to the staff officers wearing green uniforms, and said: "I rely on the army, a powerful and invincible army. I personally formed this army that can defend the country. They can Drive out the foreigners for me. Then conquer the world for me. I don’t care about what you call the destiny of destiny. I don’t bother to ask for this destiny. I never bother to hide that I won the world by relying on the strength of the army. Since ancient times, who has not Obtaining the world by relying on the strength of the army? Relying on the so-called destiny? Relying on you people to spread the word, saying that you can obtain the destiny? Is this useful? You can only deceive those foolish people."

And at this time, these monks, priests, nuns are completely exhausted. What I thought could threaten Wang Guorui, but it was not worth mentioning to Wang Guorui. What they rely on is the so-called Mandate of Heaven, and then let them Taoist monks and nuns help Wang Guorui to promote it. Because this has been the case in all dynasties, Emperor Rehe also hoped that he could prove that he had obtained the destiny and that he had the so-called destiny. And all of this depends on the propaganda of these religious figures. Just like many kings and emperors in the West, all of them have to rely on the Pope to represent God to be crowned, so that they can be regarded as legitimate emperors. And this actually leads to the same goal by different routes, which means that the monarchy is granted by God.

"My lord, aren't you afraid that your country will be taken away by others? If you don't say that you are destined by heaven, then any common people will have the guts to **** it from you. Aren't you afraid," someone said viciously immediately.

Now, both sides have completely torn their faces apart. Obviously, these monks, Taoists, nuns threatened Wang Guorui for their own benefit.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can't control so much. If they can't be the emperor in the future, if someone replaces them, then I won't hate the person who took the throne from my descendants. Because I can't do well, can't I Do you still occupy the latrine and not shit? To be an emperor, you must first be the number one 'public servant' in the world. If you can't serve the people of the world well, then you deserve to be replaced by others, even I can understand Therefore, I don’t need to use foolish methods to obtain the throne. Since ancient times, how many dynasties have been able to survive forever through foolish methods? I’m afraid it will be difficult even for a thousand years! So fooling the people is useless, and the real usefulness is self-consciousness .”

"The so-called being born in sorrow and dying in peace, if my descendants live in stability without any sense of danger, then they are doomed to perish. The only way to let the people of the world stare at him is whether the emperor will stare at him. If he can do a good job, can he be a good emperor. And make no mistakes, and anyone has the opportunity to abolish him, so that he will really feel in danger. If he does not feel the danger, how can he be a good emperor? Do things for the common people? If you don’t worry yourself, how can you be an official? If you don’t worry yourself, why should you be a king? Therefore, I just want my descendants to be self-conscious and let them do things for the people well, so that the people will recognize him. They are a group of guys who think that the world is invincible and that their fate is in my hands, so sooner or later my country will be truly defeated." Wang Guorui said very bluntly.

These monks and priests knew that they had completely failed, and Wang Guorui didn't care about their so-called destiny at all. He doesn't care about the so-called fate at all, these fates are just a joke in his eyes. And Wang Guorui didn't choose to fool the people, so there was no need for feudal and superstitious people like them here to help him stop the fire. They were of no use to Wang Guorui at all. Whether it's fooling the people, or for something else. Therefore, they have no use value at all, so why does Wang Guorui want to curry favor with them? Even Wang Guorui had to limit their living space to prevent them from becoming too large and becoming enemies of the government.

"Maybe you don't know? Napoleon, the French emperor, once snatched the crown when the Pope crowned him, and then took it on himself? Do you know what this means? Because Napoleon didn't believe that the world is Brought by the destiny, he believed that this country was brought down by himself, and that he was able to be the emperor, and that was all done by his own strength, not by some god. I also want to tell you here You guys~lightnovelpub.net~Napoleon is one of my idols. Although he is a Westerner and is different from my nationality, it does not prevent me from learning from the excellent founding kings of the West. We don’t believe in imperial power It was bestowed by God, and I think that imperial power is the ability of the people to trust me, which has allowed me to get to where I am today. The people are also my parents, so I will not choose to fool the people to gain power. And I have to open Minzhi, let the people see how I can do good for them. If my descendants are not able to do the job in the future, then they have to change to another emperor, and I have nothing to say." Wang Guorui said.

Although Wang Guorui said so, he knew in his heart that most of his descendants would not be replaced. Because the power of one's own descendants will definitely be less and less in the future, that is, those who receive a wealthy "annual salary", so in this case, there is no need for the common people to criticize an emperor so harshly. When the time comes, they won't scold the emperor anymore. If they want to scold others, they will scold the prime minister. If they scold the parliament, they won't scold the emperor.

"Come on, see off!" Wang Guorui said.

Those religious people have also left one after another, because they have also received Wang Guorui's arrangement for the religious world, that is, they will never be given any preferential treatment, but will be very harsh and restrict their development. In the future, there will inevitably be a religious winter, and religious forces will inevitably suffer a serious blow. (To be continued.)
