Lord of Earth Fiend

After killing the Rakshasa Demon God, Chen Jin's prestige quickly rose.From then on, various measures and announcements issued by the government were supported and implemented by the people with little resistance.

Taking advantage of the victory, Hong Youzhi led his soldiers to station in Datunshan Village, took over everything Cai Tongpan had, and finally escorted dozens of boxes back to the city.

The boxes contained gold and silver treasures.

Such a large number is enough to show how fiercely Cai Tongpan searched.

All the money was confiscated and then used to expand schools, rebuild the city, build new docks, etc.

A series of projects all contribute to people’s livelihood.

Rakshasa Sea Continent is rich in products and is a great treasure. However, it has been controlled by the four great god tribes for a long time and has been difficult to develop.

What Chen Jin and the others have to do is to break restrictions, cultivate fertile land, build orchards, discover medicinal materials and woods in the mountains, and promote trade...

There is so much to do.

And when these industries flourish, the taxes paid can be fed back to the government offices, thus forming a good cycle.

This kind of sustainable approach is completely different from the previous four gods who only used faith and doctrine to squeeze the tributes of the people.

The results that can be achieved are completely different.

When autumn is over, winter is over, and New Year is over.

A brand-new Rakshasa City rose from the ground. It covers an area that is completely larger than before, and the city wall is more than twice as high. In the city, the blocks are neatly planned, the houses are beautifully arranged, and the streets are no longer yellow mud roads. It is a solid green brick road.

Compared with the huge changes in the streets and residential buildings, the government offices have hardly changed and still look simple.

It's all because Chen Jin has ordered that all money should be spent on people's livelihood. The government office is just an office, and there is no need to be tall and glorious.

This approach will make people feel more at home.

Nowadays, the people in the city have few statues to worship other gods except the King of the Sea and the Dragon God.

The earth-shaking changes in Fucheng have played a role as a bridgehead. From this center, it continues to radiate to the surrounding areas, affecting many native villages.

Among them, Chen Jin promoted private schools, promoted Confucian temples, used the "Three Character Classic" and other teaching materials, and began to recruit children without quotas.

Children are the real future. Educating them well is equivalent to occupying the real position.

……

In Rakshasa Sea Continent, there is always spring all year round, and the seasonal changes are not obvious.

However, when Chen Jin saw the newly planted jujube tree sprouting green buds in the mansion's back house, Chen Jin felt:
spring is coming!

A new year, a new spring, everything becomes new.

Such as this tree, this city, this land, and thousands of mountains and rivers.

There is also the Confucian Temple in the inner landscape!
Chen Jin couldn't even remember which night it was. When he entered the inner view and came to the temple, he saw a statue of a saint erected inside.

This statue is exactly the same as the statue of the Confucian Temple next to Rakshasa City. It has a high crown and broad belt, and its face is blurred.

The two are mirror images of each other, as if they are indistinguishable from each other.

At this moment, Chen Jin's understanding of the method of visualization suddenly reached a new level.

In the past, what he visualized was existing things in the world, or people.

Within the scope of subjective consciousness, external people and things are basically finished products, which means that most of their attributes are fixed and difficult to change.

In this case, you can only accept them by visualizing them.

But this time is different.

Although the embryonic body of the saint statue was sculpted by Lao Hu and others, the most important parts of the final decoration, blessing and consecration were all completed by Chen Jin himself.

The statues of saints and gods he created were then visualized by himself, and finally they were born in the inner landscape.

This creates a closed loop.

It seems to have the meaning of creation.

It also means that from now on, we will no longer be controlled by outsiders in these matters, but will be able to produce and sell by ourselves.

This is a qualitative leap into the scope of "god".Chen Jin immediately found a new method of practice on this statue of a saint: "The Chapter of Establishing Virtue".

"Three Li Jing" is a three-part chapter devoted to establishing meritorious deeds and establishing virtue.

At this point, it’s all cashed out.

Among them, "Li Gong Pian" corresponds to "Eight Swords of Yongzi"; "Li Yan Pian" corresponds to literary spirit and charm;
What about the final "Lide Chapter"?

By carefully studying the details, Chen Jin came up with a concept called "moral money".

The reason why it is said to be a concept is because it is simply unimaginable to obtain.

As the saying goes: "No gold is pure, and no man is perfect."

The so-called "perfect man" is a saint.

Only with extremely high moral character can one become a saint.

In one word: Si Wu Xie!
Chen Jin feels that he is a good person, but when he asks himself, he is still far from the state of "sitting without evil" and it is difficult to achieve it.

To perform meritorious service and practice swordsmanship, to establish one's words and write poems and articles, to establish one's moral character is to be consistent in one's words and deeds, and to practice them diligently.

The difficulty is self-evident.

Let's just say that his original intention of volunteering to come to Raksha Haizhou to take up an official position was not to transform the native people and lead the people here to make a fortune.

His starting point was to explore and unearth the "Lide Chapter".

This is selfish.

How easy is it to be selfless?
Private morality and public morality must be integrated into one, without any flaws...

No wonder Confucianism and Taoism have been pursued and promoted for thousands of years, but now they are often superficial or even contradictory.

Because he couldn't do it, he simply used a cover-up, using the banner of "benevolence and righteousness" to do evil and enrich his own pockets.

Just as Gu Le lobbied back then, "Of all the corrupt officials in the world, who is not a scholar?"
Chen Jin thought more and further. He thought of the degenerated Jiangzhou Confucian Temple. Did the "saints" there also fall into self-doubt, leading to all kinds of delusions, fantasies, and ultimately corruption?
Did he become so malicious?
It turns out that the path of immortals and Buddhas is broken, and the path of saints is also ruined.

After reading and memorizing the Dharma instructions in "Lide Pian", Chen Jin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It is simply impossible to be a saint in this turbulent world.

This is not to say that the "Lide Pian" has lost its meaning and usefulness. In the early stage, it still had many practical effects when combined with the Confucian Temple.

The first one is the God!

Chen Jin put what he had learned into practice and began to try it, and the target was his teacher Su Xiaowen.

The power of the imperial edict is very important. In the secular world, it has always been controlled by the imperial court and is not allowed to be interfered with by others.

In a word, if it cannot be approved by the imperial court, it is an obscene worship of wild gods, and no sacrifices or offerings can be made.

But if found, they will be eradicated.

However, for the current Qian Dynasty, there are already signs of losing control. The place is full of chaos, and there are so many secular gods competing for sacrificial incense.

The imperial court originally established a patrol department to carry out governance, but as the patrol department failed in the struggle with the inner factory, these things lost control and became chaotic.

Chen Jin is powerless to control the general trend of the world. What he has to do now is to summon the teacher to the gods, so that he can completely get rid of the state of being a lonely ghost and condense into the form of a ghost.

After learning "Lide Pian", this matter is no longer difficult.

It is a matter of course that heroic spirits can be offered as offerings in one’s own Confucian temple.

The difficult thing is how to bring the teacher's statue out into the real world and have it be accepted by the public and given incense and worship.

In the first step, Chen Jin drew a portrait of Su Xiaowen and gave it to Lao Hu and other craftsmen to select good wood and carve it into a statue of the god;
In the second step, Chen Jin personally decorated and consecrated the teacher's statue, and then placed it in the Confucian Temple and stood to the left of the saint's statue;
In the third step, Chen Jin made up a story for the teacher. In fact, it was all facts, based on Su Xiaowen's teaching and educating people in Gaozhou Prefecture...

It's a pity that this is Rakshasa Sea Island, not Lingnan. If it were in Lingnan, the story of this deed would be better accepted and recited.

However, as a direct disciple of Su Xiaowen, Chen Jin personally came to promote his teacher, and with his current prestige and reputation, the effect was outstanding.

Su Xiaowen's position is stable. (End of chapter)
