What is the origin of the book in Song Wu's hand, so that no one dares to check it?

Speaking of Water Margin, we can't help but mention Song Wu. Many people worship Song Wu very much. Objectively speaking, Song Wu is not perfect. His parents died early, and he was brought up in Wu Dalang. When he was young, he often drank, and when he got drunk, he fought with others. Every time something happened, the government took it out on Wu Dalang. Later, I got drunk with others, knocked people unconscious with one punch, and ran to Chai Jin to hide.

He didn't dare to go home until he learned that the man had not been killed. Killing the tiger on the road became a hero who killed the tiger. Just turn over and fight back and become the head of Wudu.

But it didn't last long. Brother Wu Dalang was killed by Pan Jinlian, Ximen Qing and Wang Po. There is no hope for him to sue the authorities, so he has to violate the ban by force and solve it through violence. Later, he was used by kindness to beat Jiang Menshen as drunk as a fiddler and became a confidant of Zhang Dujian. I didn't expect Zhang Dujian to kill him too. He kept telling fortune, escaped and killed Zhang Dujian's family.

The government hunted and arrested people everywhere. In order to avoid the government's pursuit, Song Wu took Ernian's advice and became a monk in Hengpo Sun Erniang's shop. Here is a question: why can you escape the official pursuit by being a monk? Let's see what the original text says first.

Sun Erniang said, "... if you want to escape now, all you have to do is cut your hair and cover your forehead with gold. I got this calendar as an amulet. She is a pretty girl, equal to my uncle, but not in a previous life. Uncle answered his name and went ahead. Who dares to question him? ……"

According to Sun Erniang, when Song Wu became a monk, he could cut off part of his hair and let it hang down a little to cover the golden seal on his face. In addition, the age and appearance of the dead monk are the same as those of Song Wu, which is simply tailor-made for Song Wu. However, the most important thing is scheduling. In Sun Erniang's words, this pair of moths is a talisman, and officers and men dare not cross-examine them even if they encounter them.

Why is this?

In fact, it is not easy to become a nun. You don't have to shave your hair, you need an official certificate. Duie is the certificate of an ancient monk and nun. With the law, you can be exempted from taxes and corvee. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were many monks and nuns because they were respected by the royal family. There were at least 200,000 monks and nuns in the Song Dynasty.

At the beginning, if you want to pass the exam, you have to take the exam and pay a little money after the exam. Later, because it was really worthless, Song Taizong and Zhao Kuangyi gave it away.

There were many wars in the Song Dynasty, so monks and Taoists didn't have to fight on the battlefield. Many people took a fancy to this function and tried to buy it. As a result, from the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, heaps were used for selling (in fact, in the Tang Dynasty), ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 per year to 1 10,000 to 20,000 per year. Let's look at the story of Lu in Water Margin. Mr. Zhao once said that he bought a divorce. This is why Lu became a monk and got rid of the pursuit of officers and men.

Dad can sell money, so it can be used for disaster relief, raising military salaries, operating agriculture and even as money for lending. In order to raise wages and fight Xixia, Song Huizong sold nearly 30,000 dudes at a time. Song Gaozong also gave Yue Fei 200 earth iron as military expenditure.

Because it was bought with money, and the emperor respected Buddhism and Taoism very much, people of Buddhism and Taoism can't be questioned, and they can even go to other temples to eat and stay. This is why the officers and men stopped chasing and interrogating Lu after he became a monk.
