Chapter 638 Taoism's long-term plan

As time went by, Zhang Xianyong's trick became more and more miraculous. The broth in the glass bottle with the crooked and bent neck was still clear, without any signs of deterioration.

If it is winter, this kind of thing is understandable, but now it is autumn, although it is not so hot, but the temperature is not low, it is really amazing to keep a bowl of broth without spoiling for so many days.

More and more people continue to visit this house to see if the broth can be stored for a long time without going bad.This miraculous fact is hard to imagine.

Today, as in the past, many people gathered in this house to see the magic.

Just like in the past, they whispered and kept discussing why this bottle has such magical power.

"Brother Lin, is this the bottle that contains the broth? It's been so many days, and it hasn't deteriorated! It looks very clear!" A person who came to see the excitement exclaimed, staring at the bottle and screaming. Of course, although Guang Guang was amazed, there was also some suspicion in his words, wondering whether the bottle had been tampered with.

"That's right, it's exactly this bottle. I saw it with my own eyes the other day. The broth from one bowl has long been spoiled, and the current one is still very clear. If you don't have some tricks, how can you do this? Or what Zhang Shenxian said is right, it must be those invisible tiny creatures who are causing trouble..." The person called Brother Lin explained excitedly, as an old friend, he had to bring someone to see the scene.Nowadays, there are very few people who can see that world with their own eyes, and they don’t even know what day they will be waiting in line. Coming here to take a look at this scene has become the only choice for many people.

The person who came with him listened to his companion's words and sighed for a long time. Seeing that his companion spoke so affirmatively, the last bit of doubt in his heart disappeared.Although he really wanted to say whether he had tampered with the bottle, but seeing the monk in front of him, he couldn't ask.

The old monk at the front has not left for so many days. He meditates here every day. Not only is he meditating, but he also got a set of equipment from somewhere and is doing this experiment by himself here.

"Brother Zhang, take me a moment, I want to say a few words to the master..." The man called Brother Lin said something to his companion, cupped his hands, and walked carefully to the old monk.

"Master, I'm being polite!" the person surnamed Lin bowed his hands.

"Amitabha, it's the benefactor Lin! I'm being polite." The old monk also returned the gift. There were some tiredness and doubts in his eyes, but more joy and persistence.

"Master, how is the verification?" the person surnamed Lin asked carefully.On the day of Zhang Xianyong's speech, he found Zhang Xianyong's fault with the old monk. He is an old acquaintance. Now the old monk is doing experiments to verify, and he came to ask about the results.

"Amitabha, just like what Zhang Zhenren said and did, the one with the open mouth will soon rot, and the crooked bottle mouth has not deteriorated so far..." The old monk looked happy, with an urchin-like expression on his face. Said the voice and tone, although there is a little tiredness in the voice.The old monk's words were very soft, but the sound spread throughout the house. Everyone who heard it dispelled the last trace of doubt. While believing this, they also admired the old monk.

"What the real person said really makes sense, and the only way that everyone can prove is the real way!" The person surnamed Lin came to understand the results of the verification, and sighed even more.

"Amitabha, although I have never seen that world with my own eyes, but now I am convinced that that world must exist. It is a pity that there are very few people who can see that world! If you can see that world with your own eyes, you will die. And no regrets." The old monk said with emotion.

"Hey..., I heard the Tao in the morning, and I can die in the evening. Now I believe it, what a pity!...Since the master wants to see that world, why don't you ask your majesty? I want to be respected by the virtue of the master, and I am a Buddhist monk. I begging Your Majesty, it may not be impossible to watch it in advance, it is also a wish! Pity me and others who have no name and no surname. I don’t know what year and month it will be until that day!" The person surnamed Lin said with emotion .Now the emperor has indeed opened his mouth, but this opening is really very limited. There are only a few people every day. They are lined up from princes, relatives, ministers, etc. I don’t know how long it will take to finish. It is his turn to look at that. In the world, people surnamed Lin feel that they have no chance.On the contrary, I think the old monk can fight for it. This old monk can be regarded as an eminent Buddhist monk, a leader of Buddhism, and his status is very different from that of ordinary people.

"Amitabha..." The old monk replied the Buddha's name, he was speechless, he was right. It stands to reason that, as the leader of the Buddhist sect, he may not fail to ask for this matter, but the old monk also had worries in his heart.Why do Taoists do this?Instead of doing it in Buddhism?To say that Zhang Xianyong has such a great ability and can make such a career, the old monk is the first to not believe it. Although he is not of the same sect and sect as Zhang Xianyong, he knows Zhang Xianyong well and knows that he definitely does not have such a great ability. , Today, all the successes and careers that have come to such a great extent rely on the support of the emperor. For this fundamental problem, everything still has to go back to why the emperor supported Taoism instead of Buddhism.He put on his old face and begged the emperor to take a look at the world in advance. Maybe it is possible, but in reality, nothing can be changed. Without the support of the emperor, everything is empty. Without the support of the emperor, his Buddhist status and prestige will be lost. I'm afraid that I'm getting farther and farther away from Taoism. The old monk proclaimed the Buddha's name and was thinking about it. How to get the support of the emperor is the key, instead of simply trying to beg the emperor to take a look at the world in advance.In the heart of the old monk, the struggle is not only for himself, but also for Buddhism.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Xianyong has had enough of showing off outside, now he is attacking to listen to the emperor's instructions.

"Your majesty!" Zhang Xianyong looked proud outside, and he looked like a master of Taoism, but when he came to the emperor, he really couldn't afford to put on airs, but was cautious.

"Excuse me, the real person can sit down." Yang Reform said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Zhang Xianyong thanked him earnestly, and then sat down, and he was upright.

"Hehe, looking at the spring breeze on the real person's face, it seems that this day is going well!" Yang Reform smiled, feeling a little unbalanced in his heart. In the palace, I exhausted my mind to think about the problem.

"Back to Your Majesty, the subject depends entirely on His Majesty's cultivation, and all depends on His Majesty's perfection..." Zhang Xianyong said immediately, he really relied on the emperor's perfection to become what he is today.

"Hehehe, don't say that again. What I promise to you will come naturally, as long as you don't mess things up." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness in cultivation." Zhang Xianyong said loudly again.

"How is the situation now? It's time to put the promotion of the new Daoism on the agenda." Yang Reform asked. Zhang Xianyong's showing off like this, or being so beautiful, was not purely for him to have fun, but for himself. The black technology base is for practical things. Being a star like this all day long, Yang Reform can’t wait to see it. Now these routines can only be played for a while. If you want to continue to persecute and squeeze Confucianism, Taoism must continue Only by producing results and convincing the world that this sermon is justified and accomplished. Otherwise, after a few years of the current moment, everyone will see that there is still no movement, and it will still be the same as it was a few years ago. I feel like I'm bragging, it's just a gimmick.

Forcing the reform of Confucianism and squeezing the status of Confucianism is not a matter of a few years, more than ten years. With the deep-rooted situation of Confucianism in China, there is no follow-up force, and it is extremely easy to rebound. Only Taoism is constantly Only by producing results can the world be convinced, can challenge the status of Confucianism, force Confucianism to make continuous changes, and only then can China embark on the right path.When natural science on the Taoist side becomes a textbook and must-read for students, and a large number of students who believe in natural science grow up and become the main force of society, this project of forcing Confucianism to improve will be considered complete.So, the time is quite long.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is up to Your Majesty to decide." Zhang Xianyong immediately said sincerely, he really looked at the emperor eagerly about this matter.In this world, who else has more money than the emperor?To promote the new Daoism, at the very least, we have to build a Daoist academy and recruit people, especially the equipment and experiments, which are even more expensive, without effective support, but I really can't afford it. Zhang Xianyong is looking at the emperor now.

"Hehehe, this is easy to say. With the real person's prestige and achievements today, I should grant the establishment of the Taoist Academy, and I should build the Royal Academy of Taoism. Since the Taoist school can overcome life, old age, sickness and death, it has contributed to the community, to the world, and to the world. For the common people, it is natural to vigorously support it, this point, the real person can rest assured..." Yang Reform said with a smile, since chatting with Sun Chengzong, he has buried many concerns in his heart, and he has no more thoughts. This person immediately became much refreshed, and he was naturally in a good mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Zhang Xianyong quickly stood up and thanked him.

"No need, sit down, real people don't have to be too restrained." Yang Reform said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor told him not to be too restrained, Zhang Xianyong amplified his courage and became less restrained. It wasn't that he wanted to be restrained, but that the emperor put too much pressure on him, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to.

"The real person should produce results as soon as possible! Now the overseas expansion is imminent, and the real person is needed to escort it. If the real person has no effective means to deal with the smog, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of Taoism." Yang Reform urged Zhang Xianyong, although now Zhang Xianyong boasted that life, old age, sickness and death could be broken, and it proved that life, old age, sickness and death could indeed be linked, but in reality, if he really wanted to find a special medicine to overcome the miasma, if he really wanted to find a special medicine to cure diseases, Zhang Xianyong would still Not enough to watch.Yang Reform can indeed guide Zhang Xianyong on what to do, and tell him where to get specific medicines, but Yang Reform also has his own plans. If everything is arranged by himself, it will obviously backfire. Science should have its own complete set. system.A system of continuous improvement and self-development is a complete scientific system. If you give advice on everything, this system will undoubtedly have huge loopholes. If you are gone in the future, this system may be stagnant. Therefore, it is necessary to give Taoist pressure, it is necessary for Taoism to learn to progress.Of course, if it really doesn't work, Yang Reform has to come out and cover the bottom line.

"I understand, I understand, I must work hard, and I will try my best to complete the tasks that His Majesty asked..." Zhang Xianyong heard the emperor talking about this, and suddenly felt extremely pressured. The scenery and good mood these days are all gone. The current level and tricks are all given by the emperor. If he really wants him to come up with something to deal with the miasma, he really doesn't know where to get it.Nowadays, some methods to deal with miasma disease can only be said to be defensive methods, such as not drinking raw water, burying feces, etc. If you really have some disease, Zhang Xianyong can't come up with any medicine to cure the disease something to come.

"I also want to remind real people that doing this is boring and dangerous. Taoists must be mentally prepared and prepared to make enough sacrifices." Facing Zhang Xianyong, who is now infinitely bright, Yang Reform began to pour cold water on him.To do scientific research, you have to calm down.It is obviously not acceptable to make publicity about scientific research.Now the pursuit of Zhang Xianyong and making him famous is to let him fight against Confucianism, which is helpless. In fact, if there is no Confucianism, Yang Reform would like to have a low-key Taoism.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that the Taoist school is ready to sacrifice. For Your Majesty, for the country, and for the people of the world, the Taoist school and the minister are willing to be encouraged by Your Majesty..." Zhang Xianyong immediately expressed his feelings. Zhang Xianyong also understood this aspect Yes, they rely on microscopes to study the microscopic world, including of course those things that cause disease. If you are not careful, you will get sick. Zhang Xianyong is indeed prepared for this point. No one else has seen that world and deals with those things every day. If you don't even have this psychological preparation, then you are really nervous.

"Well, okay, this spirit of sacrifice, I think you can learn from those barbarian people." Yang Reform thought for a while, and decided to give Zhang Xianyong a little hint. Well, it's best for Zhang Xianyong to find a way to succeed by himself.

"...Learn from a barbarian?" Zhang Xianyong felt a little bit in his heart, remembering the scene where he and that barbarian stood alone for the emperor to choose. Ren's things are particularly liked, and his talisman is dismissed... Although the emperor chose him in the end, Zhang Xianyong felt trembling when he thought of this.

"That's right, those barbarian people are also followers of religion, and they are also taught. Their followers can travel tens of thousands of miles to my Ming Dynasty in order to preach. I think this is a spirit of sacrifice, which is worth learning from Taoism. Of course, today's The way that Taoism proves is related to our national fortune in the next few hundred years of Ming Dynasty, so naturally we can’t just tell outsiders about the way. What I want to say is that this spirit can be learned, but it needs to be differentiated..." Yang Reform reminded.Speaking of this, Yang Reform had to despise Buddhism, Taoism, and even Confucianism. If the good times are too many, there will be no spirit to endure hardships, and no motivation to make progress. In this regard, it is really incomparable with Christianity. However, in terms of vitality in this aspect alone, the three together are not the opponents of Christianity.Reminding Zhang Xianyong of this is also a reminder to Zhang Xianyong that the special medicine to deal with the miasma is overseas, and he should turn his attention to overseas.As for how much Zhang Xianyong understands, Yang Reform doesn't want to say too much now.
