Jiahe Palace, inside the Pilgrimage Hall.
After all, the country is small, and Qu Jie is more concerned about the people's livelihood than the office space. Therefore, the specific size and grandeur cannot be compared with the Zichen Palace and the Imperial Palace, which are only one-third the size.
But it’s okay to have a meeting.
As Saint White Lotus and others finished the ceremony and took their seats, Qu Jie said bluntly: "I want to make the White Lotus religion the national religion of my daughter's country. Saint White Lotus, what do you think?"
For Saint White Lotus and the others, these words were a bit too sudden, something they had never thought of before, so it was naturally difficult to answer them for a while.
After a long time, Saint White Lotus replied cautiously:
"It would be great if our White Lotus Sect could become the national religion of the Daughter's Kingdom founded by you, the Holy Mother Mother. However, I am a little worried that I will not be able to do it. After all, during this period of time, the elders and I have not only visited many places in the Daughter's Kingdom, but also I have a rough understanding of some of the legal provisions of the Daughter Kingdom, and many aspects are consistent with the White Lotus Religion.
There seems to be a huge difference..."
"It doesn't matter, it's not suitable, just change it.
Before becoming the state religion of my daughter's country, the White Lotus Sect first revised its canons and edicts internally. Everything was based on the laws of my daughter's country as the standard outline, and appropriate filling was made without violating the laws of my daughter's country.
This way, you don’t have to worry about being incompetent! "
Qu Jie didn't give Saint White Lotus a chance to politely refuse, and directly showed her plans. But excluding factors such as interests, what she said was right. If it's not suitable, just change it. Just change it until it's suitable. It's quite reasonable. !
The White Lotus Saint was a little speechless for a moment. If not for her scruples, she would have rolled her eyes and scolded Qu Jie for being shameless. Fortunately, she was still sensible and did not dare to break up with Qu Jie, so she could only endure this tone. :
"The Holy Mother, the teachings have been passed down for thousands of years..."
"Do you think that if Confucius came to the world and criticized the Analects compiled and summarized by his disciples, there were errors?
So is the Analects of Confucius wrong or Confucius? "
Qu Jie did not speak directly about herself, but the meaning of her words was quite clear. The status of her, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, in the White Lotus Sect is theoretically equivalent to the status of Confucius in Confucianism. It was compiled by the saint and the believers in the sect. The teachings that came out are actually basically equivalent to the Analects of Confucianism summarized and compiled by Confucius' disciples.
No matter how much thinking and discussion.
Nor can the Analects of Confucius be superior to Confucius himself.
Naturally, the teachings of the White Lotus Sect cannot override her, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus of the White Lotus Sect. She said that was not right.
That's naturally wrong.
As soon as these words came out, if the scene at this time was a cartoon, it would definitely have to be accompanied by a mental image of the White Lotus Saint vomiting blood. In reality, although the White Lotus Saint did not vomit blood, her whole person was undoubtedly energetic. He collapsed all of a sudden, his face turned blue and purple, and he was about to die from anger.
For an older person, he might have suffered a cerebral hemorrhage or a stroke, and it would not be impossible for him to die suddenly on the spot.
Now she just regrets it, regrets it to death.
I regret that I led the wolf into my house...
If she had known, she would not have allowed Princess Jiahe to be the Holy Mother of the White Lotus. At that time, she thought that Princess Jiahe was a good person, but she was really out of control. It was reasonable for Princess Jiahe to die suddenly at such an old age. At worst, they would have killed her themselves, saying that the Holy Mother of the White Lotus would return. Heaven.
But who would have thought that this guy is just a sheep in wolf's clothing. No, a wolf in sheep's clothing. That's not right. He is a glutton in pig's skin. He is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger with them. The overall situation is... It can be said that it started to get out of control from the day the White Lotus Virgin came to earth.
After that, he went on a rampage all the way.
Completely cheated, I don’t know where he went?
It's not that Saint White Lotus never thought of killing Princess Jiahe, that is, Qu Jie, but she just sent an assassin there the day before. That night, no, the next morning, when she woke up, the assassin's head was prepared for release. Who can bear the feeling of fear next to his own pillow?
Since the other party could quietly place the assassin's head on her pillow, he could also quietly remove her head while she was sleeping.
After such a fright, the White Lotus Saint and the others no longer dared to think about killing Qu Jie, and only hoped to maintain their rights through other means.
Until today, Qu Jie had a complete showdown.
It is said that the White Lotus Sect is to be made a state religion, but if the price of making it a state religion is that all the rules of the White Lotus Sect must follow the laws of the Daughter Kingdom, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to directly annexing the White Lotus Sect, along with the White Lotus Saint and those elders. , and all must abide by the laws of the daughter country.
This is the real bottom line.
Completely incorporated.
Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Qu Jie suddenly chuckled, her tone became a little gentler, and she continued:
"Ha~, Saint, do you have any other opinions?"
"Do you think the life of the people of my daughter's country is not as good as you imagined, or do you think the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are perfect, even higher than mine, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, or do you want to apostatize? Abandon me?"
Although Qu Jie's tone was gentler, her words were actually sharper. After all, the White Lotus Sect is still a religious organization. No religious organization abandons its belief in the main god or apostasy is not a serious crime. The apostasy of the saint of the Persian Ming Cult directly angered the four major The Dharma Protector King pursues him.
As for the White Lotus Sect, it’s actually similar.
"Holy Mother, I have no objection. I was just too happy just now and it was a bit unbelievable!"
He knows that his status in the White Lotus Sect is far lower than that of Qu Jie, and his right to speak is not as big as that of Qu Jie. If Qu Jie insists that she is apostate, most of the followers may really demand her execution and do not want to die. The White Lotus Saint could only suppress the anger in her heart, almost gritting her teeth and speaking out without conscience.
At the same time, I kept comforting myself inside.
I am still young, I am not yet thirty years old this year, and Princess Jiahe is nearly sixty years old. I will definitely be able to survive her and survive her to death, as long as my identity as a saint remains unchanged, and when Princess Jiahe dies of old age, she will die.
She can definitely regain her power.
Maybe even the daughter country will be hers in the future.
After thinking about it until this point, Saint White Lotus calmed down a little, and was finally able to face Qu Jie again calmly, and then, being very obedient and cooperative, she agreed to all of Qu Jie's unreasonable requests.
Because she had already made a new plan in her heart.
That is, she must be obedient next and never let Qu Jie find any chance to destroy her status as a saint.
And as long as her status as a saint is still there, even if she temporarily loses power and her rights are divided, as long as she can survive Princess Jiahe to death, the future will still be promising.
It is precisely because of holding this hope, or comforting herself with this possibility, that the White Lotus Saint can accept all subsequent agreements so calmly, and also coordinate with the elders who originally obeyed her to modify the White Lotus Sect's teachings. Purpose, internal organizational structure, in preparation for becoming the state religion of the Daughter of the Nation.
...
More than a month later, the imperial court's expeditionary navy encountered extreme thunderstorms during its voyage and suffered heavy losses. It was the third day after Qu Jie rescued more than 10,000 soldiers.
The White Lotus Saint and the elders of the White Lotus Sect.
Finally, he followed Qu Jie's instructions.
After modifying the White Lotus Sect's teachings, internal organizational structure and other aspects to comply with the legal provisions of the Daughter Country and to Qu Jie's satisfaction, he submitted it. Qu Jie read it carefully and found that there were no problems. Read the book
He then officially issued an edict, declaring the White Lotus Sect to be the state religion of the daughter country from now on, and promulgated new doctrines along the way.
Although the White Lotus Sect has brought a lot of help to Qu Jie in recent years, a religion that preaches in secret is ultimately an unstable factor. Rather than letting them continue to preach in secret and be unstable, it is better to directly control it openly, which is safer. , and by appropriately transforming its teachings, it can not only provide spiritual sustenance to the people, but also use the new teachings and guiding ideology of the White Lotus Sect to reshape the people's outlook and ideas.
It is equivalent to conducting an alternative ideological education for all the people.
Of course, these all need to be done slowly and subtly, and no immediate results will be seen in the short term.
The only more direct change is that the top management of the White Lotus Sect was divided into two parts by Qu Jie. Some are not so religious, but have more trust in Qu Jie and have good abilities. They get into all walks of life, either as officials or as people. Other things are shining brightly.
The other part still remains in the White Lotus Sect.
They are not allowed to interfere in any government affairs or affairs outside the White Lotus Sect, and they can only concentrate on spreading the new teachings.
It’s a complete separation of church and state.
After finishing this matter, Qu Jie was relieved to convene the second Daughter's Kingdom Political Seminar, and raised more than a dozen issues at the meeting, which were analyzed and studied one after another.
Discuss solutions.
The first political seminar of the Daughter's Kingdom should be called, to be precise, a seminar to prepare for the establishment of the Daughter's Kingdom. At that time, Qu Jie had not yet rebelled. The main participants in the meeting were her close associates, and the content of the meeting only included three points. , the first is to discuss how to rebel, the second is to discuss how to retreat, and the third is to discuss how to build a country.
Preparation and construction of Jiahe Island.
Basically everything was done based on the results of the original discussion.
Now that the Daughter's Kingdom has basically been successfully established, it has a population base and so on, so the second Daughter's Kingdom Political Research Conference should naturally be held.
We also conducted more in-depth discussions and research on future development, resisting the invasion of the Daqian navy, continuing to introduce the population, popularizing education, and training the daughters of the emperor and the princess, and set plans for the next few years.
The political seminar lasted for half a month.
One by one, more than a dozen issues gradually came to a solution, or the latest plan.
For example, to resist the invasion of the Daqian navy, the current plan mainly focuses on two points. One is the beheading tactic. Try to attack only the opponent's leader as much as possible, leaving the opponent leaderless to avoid greater conflicts. When necessary, killers can be directly dispatched. Get the general by the seaside.
The second is that if it doesn't work and the other party really comes over, then try to cover it with firepower and prevent them from landing. Prioritize the safety of the citizens of the daughter country, and the large number of officers and soldiers should move back.
Another example is the continuous introduction of the population, which is to continue to send a small number of White Lotus cultivators back to the territory of Daqian, using other identities as a cover, and working hard to collect abandoned baby girls, sold daughters or wives, etc., if If you find that a large-scale famine occurs in a certain place and there is no one to provide relief, you can also gather the victims appropriately.
But generally speaking, we need to keep a low profile and not directly rebel like before, destroying the gentry and taking a large number of people away.
As for the popularization of education, it can be confused with the cultivation of the princess. In order to save time, Qu Jieyou specially compiled a whole set. Or it cannot be said that she compiled it. She chose a set from the caves she carried with her that she thought was more suitable. After making appropriate modifications to the teaching materials, I took them out directly for my granddaughter and the people.
The only difference is that her granddaughter, the Crown Princess, needs to learn a lot more than ordinary people.
If the daughter kingdom wants to continue, it will require the efforts of at least three or five generations of empresses. If only Qu Jie is one generation, the future results will most likely be no different from that of the Great Zhou Dynasty founded by Wu Zetian, and the status of women may not be improved.
They will also be suppressed for this.
Or the fruit is taken away by others.
If Wu Zetian had passed down the throne to Princess Taiping, and Princess Taiping had passed on to the empress for three or two generations, and the empress had ruled for more than a hundred years, history would have taken another different direction.
So there is the issue of the education of the princess.
Definitely a top priority.
The latest plan is for the Crown Princess to be tutored by Qu Jie herself. While teaching, she will be exposed to government affairs and gradually become familiar with her, until one day she will become a qualified empress of the daughter country.
As the Second Daughter's Kingdom Government Seminar came to an end, the next step was of course implementation. The newly established major government agencies followed the original plan and engaged in education, development, expansion of territory, and conquest. Conquests in all directions.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Thriving, flourishing.
Even the sailors who were rescued were also
In order to express gratitude for the life-saving grace, and Qu Jie's promise of three taels of silver per month to capture as much useful land as possible on other islands outside, and the temptation of obtaining one-tenth of the total land ownership, Qu Jie became a non-staff mercenary to help in the war.
Originally, Qu Jie asked the old, weak, sick and disabled under his command to use relatively high-end weapons to fight against the savages or tribes, which was considered a dimensionality reduction strike. Now he directly uses regular troops and equips them with good weapons. , and various drugs, which can definitely be regarded as a proper dimensionality reduction plus, so the final result is naturally that the efficiency is greatly increased. In less than a year, the population will not be enough, and the place is too big to manage.
We can only allocate fields to those soldiers first. Each of them should be allocated at least a few hundred acres, and some can have thousands or tens of thousands of acres. Then, there is no need for Qu Jie to secretly encourage them. She will make plans in her heart. Bring over your loved ones, even relatives and the like.
Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to plant so much land.
There are too few locals and too much land. We can’t even plant on our own land. Who will work as a farmhand for others? Even with mechanical help, it is difficult for one person to work on thousands of acres of land, let alone those who have People who have tens of thousands of acres of land, but people who only have a few hundred acres of land are envious and want to continue to work hard to obtain more land, but they also have little time to cultivate the land.
Moreover, the laws of the Daughter Kingdom are clearly stipulated.
The land must not be left unused.
Therefore, the soldiers who were allocated the land did not need Qu Jie to urge them at all. They found their own way, either asking someone to deliver the message, or secretly returning to Daqian, and trying every means to bring over their family members, and even their close friends and relatives. Help them farm, or continue fighting with them to earn more land.
The Daughter Kingdom took advantage of this and went very smoothly.
A new source of population has been opened up.
