Chapter 106 Monk Taoism Assessment System
"it is good!"

"very good!"

"Qing's letter is very well written, well-organized and well-organized, very rare!"

In the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Zhen met with Ma Liang, the governor of the rebel capital. Since we want to impose restrictions on monks in the world, we must come up with a reasonable system. Ma Liang's memorial is very well written. It can be said that Got it right.

The establishment of the Song Dynasty was inextricably linked to Taoism, and Taoism reached its peak with the strong support of Song Zhenzong. However, there are many Taoist temples in the world, but there are not many Taoists.

The Song Dynasty stipulated that anyone who wanted to become a Taoist crown had to go through a series of procedures and procedures such as acting as a child, obtaining a degree certificate, and wearing ordaining.

That is to say, the government does not say that if you want to become a Taoist priest, you will be issued a degree. First of all, you must become a child.We are talking about teenagers here, and older youths are probably a bit mysterious.So we saw Wu Song directly wearing a Taoist outfit in Water Margin. No one doubted his identity. The main Taoist priests have gone through strict procedures and cannot be faked.

It is not that simple to become a Tong Xing. The Song Dynasty also had strict regulations on Tong Xing. "Song History Shihuo Zhi No. [-]" records: "Abandoned children, hired people to breastfeed, still listen to palaces and temples, and raise them as children." Those who stay in temples or Taoist temples become children.The main thing here is one source of childish behavior. Those abandoned children who have not been adopted have a high chance of becoming childish people.

Of course, children from ordinary families can also become Taoist priests, but they must meet several conditions at the same time.

First of all, you must be over ten years old, and secondly, you must not be an only child, that is to say, you must have an older brother or younger brother to pass on the lineage to your family.In the end you need you to be clean and not have criminal discipline, not even with tattoos.

If you meet these three conditions, you can choose to become a Tongxing. Of course, becoming a Tongxing does not mean that you are a qualified Daoist, you must have a degree certificate.

Taoism is the state religion of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the management of Taoism in the Song Dynasty must be strict. If you want to become a Taoist priest, you must have a degree. You can take an exam to obtain a degree. held by court officials.

Or depending on which day the emperor is in a good mood, he might be able to give you a gift. This is undoubtedly waiting for a rabbit, the probability is very low, and then donate money to buy it in a year of drought and flood.

To sum up, to be a professional Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, regardless of the probability of those pies in the sky, first of all, you must be able to read and write at the very least, which directly killed most people. No matter how prosperous it is, in the final analysis, it is dominated by the small-scale peasant economy, and the most poor people who do not know a single word.

With a degree certificate, you will become a glorious professional Taoist priest. Yes, the profession of Taoist priests was indeed very honorable in the Song Dynasty. After becoming a Taoist priest, you will be treated politely when you go to every place in the Song Dynasty to say "poor Taoism". , comes with a halo bonus.

Of course, the premise is that you don't do anything big and evil, otherwise your ultimatum will be taken back by the court.

Similarly, if you are tired of the life of a Taoist priest and want to return to the vulgar world and experience the world of mortals, then your Duyi will also be collected. After the Taoist priest dies, the Dudu will also be taken back and cannot be transferred or traded.

Of course, in addition to being respected, Taoist priests also enjoy the power of tax exemption.

The more important a thing is, the stricter the requirements for it, so not only will this thing not increase, but it will even decrease, but it has to be said that after some operations, the remaining All elite.

After Miao Yi went back, she knew that the current officials were going to attack the monks in the temples all over the world, and she didn't intend to arrest them without a fight, so after discussing with all the monks in the temple, she planned to play the emotional card and take the harem route, but the queen mother Liu E was reassured by Zhao Zhen. For the reason of recuperation, the emperor's relatives and important court officials may not be able to see each other, let alone a few monks.

The queen mother couldn't see her, so she asked to see the concubine Yang. After all, although the empress was established, she was not yet married, and all matters in the harem were handled by Yang, but Yang believed in Taoism, so the monks naturally had no choice. Come back with success.

The road to the harem is blocked, so I can only find a way to start with the emperor's relatives. I have to say that the strategy of the monks is extremely correct. They only pick women to attack. After all, women have soft ears, and they can worship Buddhism in Ji Kingdom The eldest princess Zhao Qingya had already gone to Hebei Road with her husband on the day her daughter entered the palace, and the eldest princess Zhao Qingge of Deng Guo didn't want to get involved in these matters, so she directly turned the monk away.

Zhao Qingyu, the eldest princess of the State of Shen, is in poor health and has been working under the Taoist sect. Miaoyi and the others will not be so stupid as to look for him.

The princess did not succeed in this level, so she had to ask the princes, but after Zhao Zhen came to the throne in the Song Dynasty, there were many royal families, but there were only two princes. One was the eldest son of Song Taizong, King Zhao Yuanzuo, but Zhao Yuanzuo was spiritual. There are good times and bad times, so I can't help, followed by Zhao Yuanyan, the eighth king who was named King Ding after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne.

Zhao Yuanyan believed in Buddhism, and when he was free, he always held a string of Buddhist beads and chanted, and added incense money to the temple every year, but the Eight Great Kings had not been in Beijing for more than half a year.

This matter has to start with the cultivation of potatoes in the greenhouse of the Eight Great Kings. Zhao Yuanyan patted his chest and promised Zhao Zhen that he would grow the potatoes in the greenhouse. Zhao Yuanyan felt a little embarrassing, so he asked to send it to Qingzhou, and tried to grow potatoes in Qingzhou. Last autumn, Qingzhou had a bumper potato harvest. It is expected to spread throughout Qingzhou this year, so Zhao Yuanyan also won the title of a potato king good name.

After a lot of tossing, the monks found that all the roads were unworkable, so they had to sit down and discuss a few relatively loose systems.

At the end of the second year of Tiansheng, through Ma Liang's letter, Zhao Zhen formally established the Lifan Academy, with one minister and two servants, and Ma Liang served as the Lifan Academy's secretary.

All temples and Taoist temples in the world are under the jurisdiction of the religious institute.

The temporary tasks of the Li Fan Yuan are as follows:
First, without the documents of the Lifan Academy, temples and Taoist temples were not allowed to be built in various parts of the Song Dynasty.

Second, all Taoist priests and monks in the world will be assessed in batches, and if they pass the assessment, the Lifan Academy will issue a degree certificate.The certificate is not permanent. The certificate obtained for the first time is only valid for six years, and the assessment will be conducted after six years. If the assessment is passed, the ten-year certificate will be issued. After ten years, the third assessment will be conducted. If the assessment is passed again, it will be awarded a permanent certificate. Degree ultimatum.

Third, the incense money and court rewards obtained by the temple must be recorded in the register for inspection.
