all in all.
Now Xudu has a team of more than hundreds of professional Taoist priests, some of whom are cronies brought out by Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, and the other are devout believers like Ma Teng who are willing to become monks.
There are at least thousands of believers who are not monks.
From dignitaries to dignitaries, down to the common people, there are all of them.
Cao Ang is very happy to see that the local beliefs in the Central Plains have been developed, and everything is currently under his control.
when he formulates his teachings.
Fundamentally cut off the possibility of theocracy interfering with imperial power.
In addition, let this belief be inclusive, gentle, and fully integrated into the Taoist philosophy of being good as water, so that it is not easy to become extreme over time.
Whether it is the "Tao Jing" that is being perfected, other precepts and books that are being formulated, and books of sects, among them, the history of the Central Plains civilization, the etiquette and morality of the Central Plains civilization, and basic values are very well integrated into it.
In other words.
The process of learning "Tao Jing" is actually learning the history of Central Plains.
In fact, it is to understand the philosophies of the various schools of thought headed by Taoism in the Central Plains.
Even Taoist temples enshrine the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which will enable the spread of Taoism's culture to the outside world in the future, and fundamentally assimilate other races.
But that's not enough.
Cao Ang felt that Protestantism still had many flaws.
There are loopholes in everything from the entire church’s operating mechanism to the teachings and scriptures. It is impossible for a newly formed religion to be perfect.
Next, Cao Ang will build some commercial means for him, such as donation boxes, Ji Xiushuya's Yexinfu, Fengshui, calligraphy, painting, medical education, and even birthdays, weddings, and housewarming.
strictly speaking.
Cao Ang is an atheist.
The fundamental purpose of him helping Zhang Lu to establish a Protestant religion was to rule.
Therefore, Protestantism can only become a booster for the civilization of the Central Plains, a powerful weapon and shield for the Central Plains court, and cannot become a fuel bottle for the court.
Simultaneously.
Also for further cuts.
There is no fixed religious budget for the imperial government’s financial expenditure. Although donations can be used to help during difficult times and entrepreneurship stages, more often Taoist temples have to build their own industries to support themselves.
Hold a ceremony.
Cao Ang took all his wives and daughters back home.
Everyone seemed very satisfied. They only felt that meditating in the temple and praying for blessings could purify the whole person's mood. This kind of belief atmosphere really makes people feel peaceful.
About Protestant construction.
Several ladies also have some suggestions.
Diao Chan put forward two very pertinent opinions: "Husband, this concubine thinks that the clothes of the priests should be uniform, otherwise it is impossible to tell who is the leader."
"In addition, the concubine found that women believe in many religions, but men and women do not get along with each other. It is inconvenient for female believers to go to church. Perhaps a church area for female believers should be opened."
Makes sense.
This does require some attention.
Uniforms for faculty members are required.
Otherwise, Ma Teng, who looks like a gangster and looks like a murderous guy, will probably scare away all the believers if he appears in front of him.
The difference between men and women must also be considered, otherwise it will discourage the enthusiasm of female believers. Although the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was very open, it was not suitable for staying in the same room with strange men for a long time.
Just when Cao Ang was considering these issues.
Gou or suddenly came to the door.
He came to deliver the letter.
Cao Ang learned about Shucao's current situation and the choice before Cao Cao from Xun Yu's mouth. Cao Ang's suggestion was not much different from Guo Jia's.
One word: "Hit!"
The Wuhuan must be exterminated.
If you can't pacify the Wuhuan, you can't pacify the south.
Xun Yu smiled and said, "I think the same way, but Duke Wei is not very confident. Now that you have even nodded to Zixiu, I don't think Duke Wei will have any worries."
however.
Cao Ang pondered for a moment.
He suddenly said: "Wuhuan is going to fight, but there is no need for father to go out in person. You should write back to father immediately, asking him to send troops back to Xudu as soon as possible."
Xun Yu was a little puzzled: "Since the expedition to Wuhuan, why do you have to withdraw your troops? What's more, although the situation in Yecheng has stabilized, the four prefectures in Hebei are far from safe. If Duke Wei returns to Xudu, it may be detrimental to the stability of the north."
Actually.
in history.
After Cao Cao completely defeated the Yuan clan.
Xudu became a nominal capital.
He will move the entire base camp and the team to Yecheng.
There are three reasons for this.
First, it is naturally to stay away from the emperor, so as to avoid similar incidents like Yidaizhao, or pressure from other aspects.
Second, Yecheng is the seat of Mozhou with the most abundant population, because after the unification of the north, Cao Cao’s main enemy is in the south. Compared with Xudu, Yecheng is north of the Yellow River, separated by the natural danger of the Yellow River, and the strategy is safer.
The third, of course, is to personally suppress and manage the four states centered on Jizhou, so as to eliminate the remaining influence of the Yuan family, suppress the rebel forces that lay in wait, and absorb Hebei's rich sources of soldiers, manpower, and materials.
just now.
Cao Cao pacified the prefecture soon.
It stands to reason that they should continue to stay in the north.
