Chapter 172: Shuangqi

Relying on two 8-shaped copper rings, Guan Huan and Bi Xiaoqing fell from the top of the cliff to the ground in an extremely standard downhill posture, only two breaths. After pulling away the rope, they quickly ran towards the predetermined place where their own people were waiting to respond. They didn't even have to run away from the pursuit, just hide in the carriage and avoid the search range that Dao Mingzong could do during the most tense period. No matter what explanation Dao Mingzong explained based on what they found afterwards, it would not affect Guan Huan and Bi Xiaoqing's extremely successful action. After the Dharma Assembly, the believers did everything.

It is about to disperse, and in a few days it will be the New Year, and everyone is rushing back to reunite with their families. Some of the less authentic believers or pseudo-sacres were originally thinking of taking the relief food from Emperor Daoming to go home for the New Year, and would not stay for a second to wait for the results of the investigation. When the results of Emperor Daoming's investigation came out, in this era without radio or television, it is impossible to have any influence on these believers who already have preconceived impressions. At that time, even if those explanations come to the ears of the believers, according to the psychology of the general public who see it as real and hear it as false, there is still doubt on how much persuasive it is.

Since Ye Tao and his party were already away, they were not in a hurry to catch up at this time. Anyway, they agreed to meet again in Dongping.

Ye Tao was not easy on the way back. Although leading the team to internship was a bit terrible, this time he had close contact with the sects of the Daomingzong, contacted the believers and clergy, and contacted the non-confucian ordinary people of Xiling who still gained a lot of gains and a lot of experience. On the way back, since he had nothing to do in the carriage, Ye Tao took some time to start writing a report.

In Ye Tao's view, the social class division of Xiling is much simpler and distinct than Dongping, with a wider gap between the rich and the poor. The social status gap is also larger... This means that the social conflicts in Xiling are more acute. What happened around the temporary Leiyin Demon Sect headquarters of the Li family castle can also prove this. After the Li family was completely annihilated by the sudden force, Zhuo Xianchen began to greatly reduce the economic burden of the tenants and others attached to the Li family land, the surroundings immediately settled down. When Zhuo Xianchen left later, the newcomers quickly reached an understanding with the local government, and the tenants and farmers who were still waiting and watching began to take the people who controlled the Li family as good owners. Even under the encouragement and persuasion of the farmer who was released, some people had already swore allegiance and began to accept the leadership of the Leiyin Demon Sect without hesitation.

The rise of Emperor Daomingzong. On the one hand, the religious theory eased the sharp social contradictions, which made Xiling's rulers, especially the large families in the places where social contradictions were deeply felt, were relieved. However, at the same time, it had a great relationship with the powerful economic power to alleviate the survival difficulties of some people. Emperor Daomingzong could not maintain economic support for poor people for a long time, and the religious complex of salvation at the beginning was quickly broken by more realistic economic pressure. On the one hand, Daomingzong had to continue to provide relief and publicity to the poor people, and on the other hand, he sought support from the great clans and Xiling's ruling party. They continued to accept the large family's

Donating, and constantly applying the donations received more efficiently in missionary activities. In addition, they also constantly grasped financial resources through various other channels through the faithful and mastered their wealth through various other channels, and finally reached a relatively good dynamic balance. In this process, Daomingzong gradually grew into a religious force that was faintly combined with the Xiling regime. This combination did deviate from the goal of saving the world at the beginning of the founding of Daomingzong, but made Daomingzong taste the sweetness. It was out of control. The problem was, how much influence did Daomingzong have on Xiling now, and how much trust the Xiling rulers trust Daomingzong.

In Ye Tao's view, Daomingzong had many problems:

The first is their union with the regime, forcing them to seek a transformation from an ordinary religion that is deceptive to the people to an Orthodox religion that can absorb the attention and belief of all social classes. There are many factors that will cause the pain of Emperor Daoming.

They need to continuously build temples, temples and more magnificent landmark buildings instead of gathering church members casually to gather the church. They also need to make concessions to the Xiling regime in many ways. They even need to do such difficult work while thinking about controlling their own strength, and not let the power of the Daoming Parliament be alert and even had to take decisive action before it is strong enough to do anything. But their balance in this regard, at least it seems to be well done now. The apology army they established was cut off from the army in Yunzhou, greatly reducing the loss of defeat. It was even more heroic, with the super high casualty rate but not collapsed, winning unanimous praise from the Xiling court and the opposition, and allowing the scale of the apology army to be further expanded. Naturally, with the expansion of the power they mastered and the powerful weapons they mastered, they had more bargaining chips to win more support from Xiling, and even surrender to the support of Xiling.

The second problem is that in order to serve the Xiling regime, the organization they formed, although it has increasingly powerful power, is somewhat incompatible with an organization like Daomingzong, which started with religion. Judging from the Eagle Hall's eagerness to expand its power, which caused the rebound and general hostility of the Xiling martial arts world. In addition, the uncautionary attitude in handling matters, the Eagle Hall is likely to become a failure that affects the reputation of Daomingzong. For religious organizations, their fundamental strength lies in being able to control as many people as possible to serve their goals. Once the believers begin to shake, it is when there is a problem with the power of Daomingzong itself. On this issue, if the Leiyin Demon Sect is to develop, there is a lot to be used.

The third problem is that although Daomingzong promoted kindness, tolerance, tolerance, and kindness to others in the doctrine system, he did not adjust a more systematic doctrine during the transformation period because of the changes in the believers he faced. Perhaps the senior leaders of Daomingzong did not realize this problem, or realized this problem but had no reasonable solution. Moreover, in addition to doctrine, there were no rules for behaviors related to doctrine, and were stipulated based on the personal understanding of missionaries in various places. When absorbing clergy and believers, the standards were very broad, and basically based on subjective impressions... In particular, Daomingzong used how many people he brought in as a standard for evaluating whether the missionaries were qualified, completely ignoring other data such as regional differences and population density, so that there were a large number of low-level believers who entered Daomingzong by coercion and temptation, and the doctrine transmission rate was not high.

With these understandings and a more intuitive understanding of the people of Xiling, Ye Tao expressed his opinions in a casual manner on how to adjust the development model of the Leiyin Demon Sect. The first is to adapt to local conditions and not pursue the expansion of the number of people and pursue the health of the organization. On the one hand, this can avoid conflicts with the Daoming Sect in a short time, and it is also necessary for Ye Tao's group with strict management of membership in his mind. Ye Tao particularly praised Lei Huang's research on folk customs in this regard, and hoped that not only the Leiyin Demon Sect, but even the newly established intelligence bureau that is adjusting the organizational structure should divide a part of non-core personnel to understand folk customs, dialects, regional unique habits, etc., not only the missionary of the Leiyin Demon Sect, but also the local governance after the conquest in the future, these materials can also play a huge role.

The second is to adjust the structure of the missionaries so that the entire missionary team looks closer to the proportion of the natural population. Otherwise, a large number of young and strong men will preach with clever words and will be seen by those with ulterior motives, which will inevitably be full of doubts and will cause unnecessary trouble.

In addition, the things used by the Leiyin Demon Sect in the missionary were adjusted. For example, the printed armbands and stamped metal armbands that Ye Tao had previously imagined were obvious inheritance with Dongping's unique technology, and these plans need to be adjusted on a large scale. The printed armbands were changed to simple embroidered armbands, while the stamped metal heralds were replaced with things made of much traditional mold filling technology....

There were also some other small adjustments and suggestions, so Ye Tao recorded them casually.

But when Ye Tao and his party returned to Dongping under the escort of the internal security guard who finally breathed a sigh of relief, the first thing he received was not the commendation, but the fierce reprimand from the king of Dongping Tan Xiaopei. The general idea was nothing more than that he ignored his personal safety and placed his colleagues in a dangerous place. However, since the incident of Ye Tao going to Xiling was absolutely confidential, this reprimand would not be seen by anyone except him.
