Chapter 1249 Zhang Dai is upright and the land is thin

The so-called entitlement refers to the fact that officials above the fifth rank can receive corresponding posthumous ranks. The purpose is to "make the spirit unambiguous, and the reputation will last forever in the world, and encourage the wind of filial piety and loyalty"!
To be clear, the person who received the gift turned to the imperial city after death, and the power of the gods was ten times, hundreds and thousands of times that of ordinary people.

And there is still a name left in history, so it is one of the three immortals, which is "the reputation will last forever in Yishi"

These are all personal treatment and benefits, but what benefits does the court have?
It is "encouraging the wind of filial piety and loyalty", so that everyone is filial and loyal, and the people's customs will be clear and the country will last forever.

In addition to the gift itself, it can also be extended to the parents and wives. The greater the official rank, the more prosperous the Feng Yinde will be.

To explain more clearly, why believers believe in religion, half of it is to seek wealth and honor in the mortal world, and most of it is to enter the Pure Land Paradise after death, or to benefit from reincarnation.

The court's conferring system is to enable the canonized person to be reincarnated in the emperor's hometown after death, and also protect his parents and wives.

This is the "Heaven (Pure Land) Permission Order"

In the original dynasties, the reason why they assimilated through countless foreign ideas came from this-scholars, officials, all believers in the heavenly system, and after death they entered the land of the heavenly system-the land of the emperor.

It is rumored that Yang Tinghe, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, also visited the temple and debated with the monks. He said: "Yan Luo only cares about the small people, what is the difference with us?"

It means that officials with posthumous titles do not enter the underworld at all, so what does Yama Hell have to do with it?

There is an imperial township and treatment, which is the fundamental reason for officials not to change color in 2000.

However, these are not expressly stipulated in the end.

Su Ziji didn't think of it at all, but now he knows that Wei Shizu's article with simple words has completely become the general outline of the sky system.

The first paragraph is to say that the emperor is blessed by heaven, and the luck will turn into the emperor's hometown.
The second paragraph is that the emperor and the emperor's generals are far more powerful than ghosts and gods, and worshiping gods means "not confident"

The third paragraph is that, due to decades of official status, he has long been inseparable from the dragon spirit, even if he worships the gods and seeks immortality, he cannot be reincarnated elsewhere
This paragraph is the most powerful. If you can't reincarnate in the sacred land of Brahma, you can't enjoy the blessings. What gods do officials worship and what Brahma?

"No wonder, there are no high-ranking officials who really believe in God and ask for the Brahma. Most of them are fakes of the Brahma, and there are basically no historical materials."

"Seeking immortality is to live forever in the mortal world, and it's different."

Su Ziji instantly figured it out. It turned out that this article was digging out the roots of Buddhism, cutting off the seeds of Buddhism, and even cutting off the invasion of all foreign cultural influences.

Moreover, this is still a fact. Once it is found out, it will be confirmed by many parties, but it will be ironclad evidence.

"Wei Shizu is really terrifying." Su Ziji didn't pay much attention to Wei Shizu at first, but he always felt that the emperor of the ages was smug, only now did he know his true color.

There was a bit of pain on his face, and he stood there with sadness and joy, stared motionless, and did not speak, Cao Zhi asked cautiously, "Is the grandson clear?"

"Understood, but I still have doubts." Su Ziji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Having come to his senses, he forced a smile: "If that's the case, why don't you broadcast the favor of Emperor Xiang?"

"Although the Emperor Township is huge, it cannot accommodate tens of thousands of people. Even if this court extends the grace to the ninth rank, it will be difficult for everyone to bear the rain and dew."

"Therefore, folk religions, even Buddhist religion, have not been completely cut off."

Su Ziji understood, and secretly sighed: "It's too sincere."

All religions believe in, originally only one out of ten thousand can be admitted, and others can be said to be ungodly, but now because they can't accept it, so they don't want it, isn't this an honest person?

But Su Ziji didn't care, he figured it out, walked slowly, his eyes became a little gloomy, and after a long time, he smiled and nodded and waved his hands: "I understand, you can go."

"Yes!" Cao Zhi's original intention was to strictly observe neutrality. What Su Ziji did just now really penetrated his heart, so he said a few more words, and then he bowed and retreated.

Su Ziji turned around, put the Buddhist scripture in his hand on the table, flipped through it casually, and found a letter sandwiched in the Buddhist scripture.

The letter is very thin, just a piece of paper, and the content on it is concise and to the point, without nonsense.

Su Ziji quickly scanned the content. Rao had already guessed and explained just now, so he couldn't help being slightly surprised at this moment.

"Under this situation, Fanmen still firmly supports me and gives me information about the grain depot and the capital?"

Su Ziji read the contents of the letter again, and with a snap of his fingers, a cluster of flames appeared in the corner of the letter, and the letter was quickly engulfed by the flames.

Su Ziji just watched the flame from bright to dim, and finally even a trace of ashes was blown away by the wind outside the half-open window and dissipated in the cabin.

"Should I accept it or not?" Su Ziji burned the letter and fell into deep thought.

In the past, Su Ziji definitely accepted without hesitation, but now, he has hesitation, which is against the great policy of the imperial court.

"Oh, I'll think about it again."

But at this moment, Wen Xunpeng came in a hurry, Su Ziji saw it at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, such a look?"

Wen Xunpeng approached quickly, whispered something, and then took a step back: "Is Zhang Dai crazy?"

"It's nothing more than killing an eighth-rank grain official, brazenly using imperial envoys to shut down the defense, and dispatching troops to seal the seven major warehouses. They are not allowed to enter or leave. Millions of soldiers and civilians are dependent on food and clothing. This is a big event. If you are not careful, you will cause trouble Something big happened."

"Oh, is it finally here?"

Although he had expected it, Su Ziji was still taken aback, and stood there for a long time before turning his face and saying: "Oh, Zhang Dai, although you are displeased, I still admire him from the bottom of my heart."

"Clean up the land, collect taxes equally, crack down on corrupt officials, dredge rivers, and only buy two catties of meat during the New Year. Even if it is pretending, it will be true pretending for a lifetime."

"Integrity does have merit."

Wen Xunpeng saw that Su Ziji's expression was gloomy, but he said: "As far as the public is concerned, you should ask about your traces, not your heart."

"Huang Renlian, the original magistrate of Chunxing County, was neither benevolent nor honest. He confiscated 11 taels of silver in six years, and was sentenced to death in prison."

"But even though so much has been searched, Chunxing County is still flourishing."

"When Zhang Dai came to power, it was indeed a series of good policies such as clearing the land, collecting taxes, cracking down on corrupt officials, dredging rivers, and reclaiming river beaches."

"If you leave office after six years, not only the big households, but also the common people will suffer. The magistrate who takes over checks the accounts, and the property and income of the whole county will drop by [-]%!"

"There is even a ballad - when a corrupt official takes office, the sky is three feet high, Zhang Dai is upright, and the land is three feet thin."

"I still have this opinion. Although this person has a clean name, he is actually a giant beetle with the country."

"Take this matter as an example, killing corrupt officials with sticks, sealing off the granary, and chasing it to the end, it seems to be clean, but the food supply and food and clothing of millions of soldiers and civilians, as long as there is a little error, it may make thousands of people. If there are poor soldiers or petty officials, or the family members of war dead who rely on pensions do not receive a few buckets of rice every month, they may die of starvation.”

"This will blow you up to the sky, Taisun."

"How can we empathize with him and feel sorry for him?"

Su Ziji understands this matter. There are millions of people in Chunxing County, and the economic scale is tens of millions of taels. , It’s just a drizzle, and I may even have contributed to promoting the economy.

But Zhang Dai claimed to be upright, but his administration caused the county's economy to plummet by [-]%, which cost millions of taels of silver, and made the people unbearable to pay taxes.

"When a corrupt official takes office, the sky is three feet high, Zhang Dai is upright, and the land is three feet thin"

This is actually not uncommon.

Su Ziji sighed: "It's just a pity to be alone, now that he has done this, it's a pity to be alone, and there is no other way."

"He has done such a thing, and the counties and counties will definitely come, so follow the plan."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away." Wen Xunpeng's heart was relieved, he paused and left.
