The test papers were made of paper, not bamboo slips.
As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, paper was already used as a medium for writing official documents and was commonly used throughout the country.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, paper making technology developed rapidly. Hemp paper, mulberry bark paper, paper mulberry bark paper, and rattan paper were all famous for a time.
By the Tang Dynasty, the use of paper was very common.
Qin Chuan's On Feudalism was a famous political essay written by Liu Zongyuan, a famous writer of the Tang Dynasty and one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
This article was written by Liu Zongyuan to combat the arrogance of those feudal vassals in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The article denounced all kinds of fallacies advocating the enfeoffment system, carried out a comprehensive historical analysis of the enfeoffment system, and eloquently demonstrated the great advantages of the prefecture and county system.
It affirmed that the prefecture and county system replacing the enfeoffment system was inevitable in the development of history, and it was a historical development trend that no one could change.
As a transmigrator, who wouldn't cheat and become a plagiarist who enjoyed the fruits of one's labor?
Of course, he didn't completely plagiarize. He also made some brief changes to Feudalism.
After all, Liu Zongyuan's " On Feudalism " also wrote about the separation of the military governors and the fact that the Tang Dynasty had been in power for two hundred years.
While the others were still racking their brains for the first question, Qin Chuan had already finished writing the first question. He put away the test paper, changed it into a new paper, and looked at the second question.
The second question was 'Rich country'.
Qin Chuan was not surprised by this question.
From the time the Great Tang had founded the country through martial virtue to the present unification of the world, it could be said that the Great Tang had fought many wars.
In addition, after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the world, exempted Guanzhong from two years of rent, and gave the world a year of restoration.
As well as the successive droughts, frosts, locust plagues, and other disasters that had occurred since he ascended the throne, the court needed to provide disaster relief everywhere and exempt rent, so the current national treasury was inevitably empty.
As a transmigrator, Qin Chuan knew that the Great Tang would launch an all-out war against the Eastern Turks next year.
The Tang Dynasty was the only unified dynasty in the history of China that did not build the Great Wall!
In the face of the invasion from the northern grasslands, every dynasty had advocated the construction of the Great Wall. However, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, spoke of rebuilding the Great Wall, he said something that made Qin Chuan respect him!
I'm clearing the desert for you. Why should I trouble the people to build barriers far away?
As the true founding emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shiming had only one word to say when faced with the invasion of the northern grasslands: fight!
Unlike all previous dynasties, the Great Tang had used force to conquer the entire northern steppe!
The destruction of Liang Shidu this year was not only a war to unify China, but it was also to remove Peckham's last nail in China.
It was Liang Shidu who had joined the Eastern Turks as a guide, guiding the Jie Li to invade the south through his Xia Province, causing the Eastern Turks to invade the territory year after year and plunder the Han people. In the ninth year of Wude, the Eastern Turks had even invaded the interior and arrived at Chang 'an.
To pacify Liang Shidu was both for the sake of internal stability and for the sake of resisting foreign aggression.
Now that Liang Shidu had been destroyed, China had been pacified, and the Great Tang was at peace. It was only natural that the Great Tang would use all its strength to fight Peckham!
It was not just money. The Great Tang needed people, soldiers, resources, and equipment.
As he pondered, Qin Chuan frowned and wrote down two words:
Buddha Annihilation!
Qin Chuan didn't like Buddhism. In ancient times, other than fooling the people, Buddhism was basically of no help to society.
Daoism descended the mountain to save the world in troubled times, and cultivated one's morality in prosperous times. Buddhism sealed the mountains in troubled times and welcomed wealth in prosperous times. This was not just a saying.
Fan Li, who had helped Gou Jian to avenge his humiliation and conquer the State of Wu, was a Taoist. He had studied under Wen Zi Ji Ran, one of the Ten Sons of Xuanyuan under Lao Tzu.
Zhang Liang, who assisted Liu Bang in pacifying the world and unifying the country, was a Taoist. He studied under Huang Shigong, the Old Man on the Mountain.
Zhuge Liang, who assisted Liu Bei in his plan to become the emperor and divide the world into three parts, was also a Taoist. He was good at Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, which were the essence of Taoism.
Not to mention, Liu Bowen and Liu Ji, who were even more famous than Zhuge Liang," Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, Liu Bowen unified the country."
Liu Bowen had grown up in the Purple Void Monastery and had learned Taoism since he was young.
Throughout history, there were too many Taoists who had sacrificed their lives for China in troubled times.
Of course, it was not only in troubled times, but also in prosperous times. The Taoist priests did not all seal off their mountains to cultivate. They also made their own contributions to the prosperous times.
Wang Xizhi, the " Sage of Calligraphy ", the best calligrapher in the world, was a disciple of the Celestial Master Sect.
Zu Chongzhi, an outstanding ancient mathematician and mathematician who had calculated pi to the seventh digit after the decimal point, was also from a Celestial Master Clan.
Tao Hongjing, a famous pharmacist, alchemist, and writer, was also known as the Prime Minister of the Mountain. He was also the founder of the Maoshan School of Taoism.
Not to mention Li Bai, He Zhizhang, Su Shi, Tang Yin, and the other self-proclaimed disciples.
Scholar was a general term used by the ancient Daoists to refer to those who were at home.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were many Taoist disciples who contributed to the country.
Yuan Tiangang, Sun Simiao, and Li Chunfeng were names that many people were familiar with. Even Wei Zheng, the famous prime minister of the Great Tang, was a Daoist.
As for the people of Buddhism, other than the only "Dao Yan Master" Yao Guangxiao, who assisted Zhu Di in seizing power, he made a name for himself in politics.
Only the Grass Saint, Huai Su, and the Dahui Zen Master, who were in the calligraphy world and the astronomy world, had truly contributed to the Chinese people.
As for the other monks, other than eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha, resting in the morning and evening, carrying out the so-called promotion of Buddhism and saving all living beings, he really didn't know what other beneficial contributions they had made to the people of China.
Not only did they not contribute, but they also caused a lot of harm to society.
In ancient times, monks didn't pay taxes. Not only did they not pay taxes, but they also didn't have to do corvee or military service.
Monks did not engage in production, and their basic source of income was offerings from devotees.
A monk who shaved his head and became a monk was offering sacrifices to Buddha and Bodhisattva, not his biological parents who had nurtured him for ten months.
The most inhumane thing was that monks didn't get close to women!
Without male and female reproduction, how could there be the inheritance of the country!
If everyone in the world believed in Buddhism, the human race would probably be wiped out!
Qin Chuan didn't have a good impression of such a sect.
Moreover, the Great Tang would benefit greatly from the destruction of such a cult!
As long as the Buddhas were destroyed, the Great Tang would be able to obtain large amounts of money, population, soldiers, and resources overnight.
The golden bronze statue was the temple's most eye-catching symbol of money!
In the future, these golden statues might not be much, but in ancient times, they were the most valuable things!
No, these golden bronze statues were money!
Gold and copper itself were money!
After the destruction of Buddha, all monks and nuns would return to asceticism, which would undoubtedly increase the population, labor force, and military resources.
After these monks and nuns renounced asceticism and settled down, they could continue to reproduce and increase the population of society.
All the materials in the vacant temples could be used for military purposes.
It was precisely because of the many shortcomings of the Buddhist Sect and the huge benefits that could be brought about by the annihilation of the Buddha that the mighty 'Three Martial Arts and One Sect's Annihilation of the Buddha' movement had erupted in history.
The Northern Wei Emperor Tuobatao destroyed Buddhism, the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong destroyed Buddhism, the Tang Emperor Li Yan destroyed Buddhism, and the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong destroyed Buddhism!
