Rebirth of the Wild Age

Nie Jun is very self-willed to teach the children. When an old friend comes, the rest of the day is all self-study.

Shanshenmiao Elementary School enrolls students once every two years, regardless of the legal entry age. Anyway, if you did not register for the first grade this year, you will have to wait another two years before you can study.

More than 30 children are divided into two classes, one in the second grade and the other in the fourth grade. Until next year, the fourth grade students will go to the town to study, and then the students taught by Nie Jun will become the first and third grades. Although the leadership of the Education Bureau specifically approved the Shanshenmiao Primary School not to be merged, it stipulates that the fifth grade and The above students must go to the town center school.

Nie Jun expressed his support for this because he couldn't teach him because there were too many children, and it was enough to teach two classes for one person.

The school doesn't even have a formal timetable. What is taught in each class is entirely up to Nie Jun, and he decides when school is over. If Nie Jun has something to do, he can announce a holiday for the whole school. If Nie Jun is fine any day, he can go to class until dark. Anyway, the parents will not come to remind them. If they fall on the way after school in the dark, they will not trouble the teacher. The parents will only say one sentence: "Mr. Nie, the child will be beaten to death if he is not obedient!"

Every time a child was beaten by Nie Jun at school, he did not dare to file a complaint when he returned home, because the result of the complaint was to be beaten by his parents again.

Even the crops inside and outside the walls of the mountain temple were planted by the students with the help of Nie Jun. It is known as a "labor practice class." One day Nie Daxian felt that it was time to weed and fertilize the field, so he said in the classroom: "Tomorrow morning to practice labor, remember to bring sickles, hoes, and dung scoops to school!"

Song Weiyang was very interested in the cultivated land, and asked, "Are they all temple property?"

Nie Jun nodded and said, "It's all from the temple, and there are two acres of arable land. Agricultural taxes must be paid according to the regulations, but no retention money is required."

New China granted legal protection to the property of temples and temples, including cultivated land. Take the Shaolin Temple as an example. When New China was founded, there were 21 dumpings of temple fields. After the land reform, 28 acres of land were allowed to be cultivated and planted by monks, and 376 jin of wheat should be paid to the government every year.

As for the withdrawal and retention money mentioned by Nie Jun, it is commonly known as "three mentions and five unifications".

Withdrawal funds are collected by the village, and the villages need to carry out public projects or collective management expenses, which are borne by the withdrawal funds paid by farmers.

The overall funds are collected by the township, and the village road construction, militia training, and special care for the widows and orphans are all resolved through the overall funds paid by the farmers. Even the teachers' salaries and the purchase of chalk in Shanshenmiao Elementary School are also paid in the overall fund, but the town government often defaults on it.

In the 1990s, Chinese farmers had a hard time. It was not because they had to pay too many agricultural taxes, but because the "three mentions and five unifications" had a heavy burden. The upper limit of the levy of this thing is expressly stipulated, but the village and township level does not care about so many, cleverly set up a variety of withdrawals and coordinating funds.

Daochang Nie had a good little life. He was not a villager, but a Taoist priest. He only needs to pay the farm tax on the temple land, not the retention money.

Zhou Zhengyu said: "You kid, why don't you say anything? Lao Song, Lao Ding, and Lao Peng are all rich now. Let them donate some money, and the situation in the village will improve all at once."

Nie Jun smiled and said: "People must help themselves and God helps them. Donations can help for a while, can it help the whole life? There are no mineral resources here, and local products are not popular when they are taken out. You can only farm honestly or go out to work. To be honest, the lives of farmers have been much better in the past two years. The central government’s policy of cutting agricultural taxes has been popularized here at the beginning of this year. Not only has the agricultural tax reduced, but also the three mentions and five unifications do not dare to levy indiscriminately, and the burden on farmers has become less so. Large. There is a TV in the temple, and I usually watch the news. It is estimated that the agricultural tax will be abolished in two years."

Nie Jun took the people around the temple and said as he walked: "Before the change to the agricultural tax reduction, the villagers definitely did not agree to build roads. They are too busy to farm every day, and they have to go down the mountain to do odd jobs during the slack. But now The peasants’ burden is lightened and they just have the energy to build roads together. Let me figure it out. When the roads are repaired and four-wheeled vehicles can come in, the days will definitely get better day by day."

The wall here has been torn down, and corn is planted inside and outside of the wall, and the harvesting season has arrived, leaving only piles of corn stalks.

Across this cornfield, you can see the villagers leading the horses and the camels slowly walking past the grain. This kind of Yunnan horse is very short in stature and looks like a donkey at first glance.

Lin Zhuoyun has always had a small-looking sentiment in her body. She looked at the horses away and said: "If you put aside the material conditions, this place is a bit like a paradise. The fields are peasant and the folk customs are simple and there is not so much trouble in the city."

Nie Jun suddenly laughed: "There is a saying called'Canglin is real and knows etiquette', and there is another saying,'Poor mountains and bad waters come out of troublesome people'. Don't think of any villages with simple folk customs, here are all troublesome people. One is more troublesome than the other. If you want to do business in the village, you have to be more cunning than the peasants. Their kind of'diao' is short-sighted'diao', and they can break their heads for a little bit of petty profit. I If they take the place of the class honestly, after a long time they will definitely think it should be. So I force them to build roads, and I will leave if they fail to do the repairs within two years. I also ask the students to help me plant the land. What students do is to make them feel that I am not good at talking. The more I do this, the harder I am at talking, and the more they respect me."

"Is there anything like this?" Lin Zhuoyun felt refreshed. Although she was smart and knowledgeable, she had no understanding of the real countryside.

Nie Jun pointed to the cornfield in front of him: "Take this piece of land as an example. It's next to a land called Zhang Daming in the village. When the old abbot is not sick, there will be no farts. When the old abbot is admitted to the hospital, I will take over. At the mountain temple, Zhang Daming immediately ran into chaos. He took the whole family to remove the stones overnight, and moved the gravel that served as the boundary marker of the cultivated land directly to the temple field by more than two meters, blatantly occupying the land of Lao Tzu!"

Li Yaolin's wife seemed to like gossip, and asked quickly: "Then how did you solve it? Call the police? Or find the village cadres?"

"I don't need a newspaper official," Nie Jun said arrogantly, "I was carrying a pole and went straight to ask for an explanation. Zhang Daming was in the village very horribly, pulling his son and brother to beat me, but I was killed by me. I used a pole to turn over seven or eight. They fought in the morning, and in the afternoon, they honestly moved the stones back to me!"

"Nice, awesome!" Ding Ming gave a thumbs up.

Li Yaolin said: "It doesn't matter much, it's worth beating people."

Nie Jun said: "The nature is different. If it's my own land, they can do whatever they want. The things they grow can be worth a lot of money? But it's a temple field, which was entrusted to me by the old abbot. My hands are getting less and less."

Peng Shengli was so hot that he took off his suit and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it a monk temple, Taoist temple? How come the Taoist is also called the temple, and the person in charge is called the abbot? I remember it is called Miaozhu?"

This was Nie Jun’s major when he was a graduate student. He popularized science on the spot: “'Temple' originally referred to a place dedicated to offering sacrifices to ancestors, so there was the term'Ancestral Temple'. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, primitive shrines were gradually called'temples'. ', such as the Earth Temple, these have been inherited by Taoism."

"'Temple' is a place dedicated to worshiping ghosts and gods, not special religious sites. Confucian Temples, Guandi Temples, and Caishen Temples are all used to worship dead sages and celebrities. Take the Taoist school of integrity, the northern base camp is The Dongyue Temple in Beijing, Shenghai Base Camp is the Shenghai City God Temple."

"The place where Buddhism resides should be called'Temple.' The monk's temple is just a common name. However, it doesn't pay attention to the development of time. For example, there are many'Guanyin Temples' across the country, and they are edited by official departments."

"As for temple blessings, the temple specializes in burning incense. Some temple blessings are official Taoist priests, and some temple blessings are just laymen who have not been a monk."

Peng Shengli asked quite eagerly: "What about the abbot? I remember that there are also abbots in the Buddhist temple. But there is an abbot in the Buddhist temple. What is the relationship between the abbot and the abbot?"

Nie Jun explained: “The abbot and the abbot may have been dedicated to Buddhism or Taoism before, but they have long been mixed. Buddhist temples can have abbots, and Taoist temples can also have abbots. You can understand that the abbot belongs to the general manager, and the abbot belongs to the store manager. An abbot can manage several temples, but an abbot can only manage one temple. Even as long as they are respected and respected, they can be called abbots and spiritual leaders. Some temples have no abbots. There is no abbot, but the supervisory court is in charge. Where the abbot, the abbot and the supervisory court coexist at the same time, you can refer to the French government. The abbot or the abbot is the president and the supervisory court is the prime minister, but the prime minister is the real supervisor. There are also Maybe the abbot is the president and the abbot is the prime minister, but there is no imprisonment."

"It's complicated." Peng Shengli smiled.

Nie Jun said: "It's really complicated, and different sects across the country are different."

"Do you study these for a master's degree at Peking University?" Zhou Zhengyu asked.

"These are just basic knowledge." Nie Jundao.

Nie Jun led the crowd to continue the tour, pointing to a side hall and said, “That’s where I live. I used to live with the old abbot. After the old abbot fell ill and was hospitalized, I was left alone. I can marry a wife. The father of the old abbot was also the abbot and was a guerrilla who was injured in the war of resistance. After 44 years of injury and disability, the old man stayed in the village to marry a wife and have children. Later, the mountain temple was recognized as an authentic Taoist temple by the new China, and the land reform At that time, there was still a temple field, but the village cadres could no longer be abbots, so the old man became a Taoist citizen and managed the mountain temple, and passed the mountain temple to his son."

Lin Zhuoyun asked: "Does the previous generation of abbots have no descendants?"

Nie Jun smiled and said, "Yes. The old abbot's wife passed away more than ten years ago and gave birth to a son and three daughters. Both daughters were married, and the son worked in the coastal area, so he didn't want to go back to the village to take over the mountain temple. After all, This ruined temple doesn't even have incense. It's the grandson of the old abbot, now in the fourth grade of Shanshenmiao Primary School."

"Do you want to help?" Song Weiyang asked.

"No," Nie Jun shook his head, "If there are conditions to build a factory here, or if there are any good local products, I would have asked you to help. But there is nothing here. You can help and donate at most. I don't want the villagers. It becomes a waste of food by donations. They can support themselves, but they are poorer, much better than those really poor mountain villages. I can’t stay here for a few years. When the village has repaired the road down the mountain, you can donate a car. The minibus is used to transport the children to the town to study, and then the Shanshenmiao Primary School will be abandoned."

Song Weiyang asked: "Then what are you going to do after you leave here?"

Nie Jun said: "Go and enjoy the world of flowers and flowers. You can grab a brother and get me a staff of the Shenghai Chenghuang Temple home Taoist priest. There is a lot of incense and oily water. I go to the temple every day to check in, and I can go home to accompany me after get off work. Wife and children. Of course, the premise is to find a woman to marry first. Haha."

Near school time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Nie Jun returned to the classroom and threw a few banknotes to a student: "Let your dad catch me a chicken and a duck. By the way, you can kill and clean it for me. ."

After receiving the teacher's errand, the student was quite happy, and ran home with his schoolbag on his back.

Nie Jun personally cooked, in addition to chicken and duck, he also fried a few dishes, even took out a jug of wine from under the bed, and said with a smile: "The old abbot left behind, he is reluctant to drink it. If you come here half a year later, you won't have a chance to enjoy this jar of wine."

Taoist priests of the upright school can marry wives, eat meat, and drink alcohol, but they are not advocated in principle.

Nie Jun's life was really hard. This guy often offered meat and tooth sacrifices, and he had a good drink alone in the mountains. As for money, his parents were soldiers from generation to generation, and his mother often sent money to him. She would visit him in the mountains two or three times a year. The main purpose of each time was to urge the marriage and let him go down the mountain to find a girlfriend.

This guy even moved his computer to the mountain, and is currently writing an essay on traditional Taoist temples, explaining the development and changes of primitive shrines in China, focusing on the phenomenon of false gods and ancestor worship like the mountain temple in Honmura. If you need information, you will send it from your classmates when you are studying for a master's degree, and sometimes you will go back to the city to collect the information.
