"Your Majesty, if it's just about preaching, there's no problem. However... her identity seems rather inappropriate!"
Zhang Jiao had no problem with Lan Zhi's abilities, but he was clearly not optimistic about having a woman from the Western Regions preach.
In fact, Zhang Jiao understood his position from the very beginning: any doctrine could only become a tool of rule in the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, despite the large number of followers of the Taiping Sect today, it is ultimately because of the emperor's name that so many people follow them, and because the doctrines all come from the emperor's mouth, people will listen to them.
However, Lanzhi, this foreign woman, was somewhat different. Her way of thinking seemed to be fundamentally different from that of the Han people, perhaps due to her living environment, which led to her being particularly obsessed with theology.
If such fanatical and obsessive people were to preach, it would likely lead people astray within a few years, which would not be a good thing for the Taiping Sect.
Seeing this, Liu Hong smiled and then said:
"That's right, I plan to send her to the Western Regions to spread the teachings! Given her status, it should be easier for her than for you to go!"
"Your Majesty is wise. If that's the case, then there's no problem at all, and it will even be twice as effective! Those people from the Western Regions will likely be more receptive to it!"
Upon learning that the emperor planned to spread the teachings of the Taiping Sect to the Western Regions, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
"Yes, regarding the matter of spreading the teachings in the Western Regions, as well as those doctrines, you should go back and study them carefully, including the future development of the Taiping Sect and its spread to other prefectures and counties. Draft a plan and submit it to me for review!"
"promise!!"
Liu Hong then inquired about other aspects of the Taiping Cult.
For example, preaching and giving alms, and providing correct guidance on doctrine.
After confirming that Zhang Jiao's answer was roughly in line with what he knew, Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction.
"The main reason I summoned you here today is to discuss the establishment of a Taoist academy!"
"Taoist Academy...?"
Zhang Jiao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Liu Hong with some confusion.
"I have heard that a disciple of the Taiping Sect is preparing to teach the children of its followers to read and write. I think this is a good idea and I will strongly support it!"
This way, the doctrines of the Taiping Religion can be spread more quickly and widely, achieving the goal of educating all people!
Liu Hong then told Zhang Jiao about the Taoist priest.
