Chapter 148 The Buddha in the Temple
Chapter 148 The Buddha in the Temple
Yun Zhao always thought that rebellion was the most difficult, so he avoided this most difficult stage, except for watching the people of Jianzhou not allow them to take advantage, he stayed in Guanzhong and looked at Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and these people turned the world upside down, and he finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
There can't be two fishermen in this game, this is a certainty, so Lantian's suppression of the Jianzhou people is consistent, continuous and even cruel.
After ten years of development and accumulation, Lantian City has become a plugged pearl, and even a place that Mongolians can no longer leave.
After Yun Zhao had already taken control of Xuanfu and Datong and destroyed Zhangjiakou, Lantian City became the only place where the Mongols could trade.
It turns out that Mongolian herders have no way to live without the Han Chinese.
Especially after they lost the land they could farm, their relationship with the Han people in Lantian City became extremely close.
At this time, there were no more princes and nobles on the grassland, and these people had been dealt with by Gao Jie and Li Dingguo's army who later commanded the grassland.
As in Kannai, princes and nobles were not allowed to have more than a thousand sheep, a hundred cattle, and more than ten war horses, and as for slaves, such a thing was not to be considered.
The Mongol princes were very courageous, and none of the Mongol princes were willing to accept such conditions, so the violent Gao Jie and Li Dingguo successively sent troops to kill these princes and nobles.
The cattle, sheep, and war horses belonging to the princes and nobles, these two selected a batch to send back to the outside of the Guannei, and all the rest were evenly distributed to the former herdsmen, and then two cows and one cow leg were recovered from these herdsmen every year, three sheep were collected for one, and five war horses were collected for one tax.
The shepherds were delighted...... Before, they didn't have these things!
Ever since wool had somehow become a good commodity, the shepherds had to shave their wool every year and hand it over to the stupid Han merchant, who could exchange the money from the sale of wool for barley flour, tea, salt, and ironware.
The princes and nobles are dead, and only the princes and nobles are sad, and there is no such thing under Lantian anymore, so the princes and nobles who can be hysterical and sad can only grieve within the influence of the Jianzhou people.
If they dare to leave the sphere of influence of the Jianzhou people, they will be reported by the shepherd slaves who finally have their own cattle and sheep, and then there will be a vicious army rushing over the world, killing those princes and nobles, and then distributing their cattle and sheep to the herdsmen.
In general, the territory of the Jianzhou people is constantly shrinking.
It was not the Lantian army that invaded their territory, but the herdsmen who had tasted the sweetness and were armed with cold weapons such as bows and arrows, knives and guns by the Lantian army.
These simple grassland men were instilled with a common truth by the Lantian people - that is, as long as there are princes and nobles on the grassland, the cattle and sheep in their hands will not necessarily belong to them.
Under the call of this slogan, these herdsmen would not only spy on the Mongols who had taken refuge in the Jianzhou people, but also on their own partners, and if their cattle and sheep exceeded the number stipulated by the Lantian law, they had to divide their families.
As a result, there is a very common phenomenon in the steppe, all herdsman families, basically in the form of two families, at most, two adult Mongols with one or more young children supporting a pasture.
However, man cannot do without a head, so the living Buddha of Morgen, who shines brightly on the grassland, became the leader of all the shepherds.
And the Living Buddha of Morgen is a real Living Buddha.
His miracles spread throughout the grasslands, and he even had a temple on the Snow Peak of the Jade Mountain, the supreme Jade Mountain in the hearts of the Han people, and it is said that even the ruler of the Han people, Emperor Yunzhao, was extremely respectful when he put on the crown of the living Buddha Morgen.
Every year on July 15, the Living Buddha of Morgan holds a huge puja outside the city of Lantian City.
The first is to overtake the dead souls, the second is to pray for the living shepherds, and the third is to bless the newborn Mongols.
As long as June, countless herdsmen from all over the world will gather outside Lantian City to listen to the Buddha's teachings on the vast grasslands, and after the puja, there will be a huge chamber of commerce.
The merchants who flocked from all over the Ming Dynasty would become the new masters, and the vast grassland outside the Blue Sky City would immediately turn into a huge market.
Nowadays, this market has become the largest market after the Lantian market, the annual trading volume is extremely amazing, and the profit is extremely rich, just a 15-day market, can bring nearly 10 million silver dollars to Lantian tax revenue.
The number of cattle and sheep sold reached a staggering 3 million.
Cowhides, sheepskins, and various shelf-stable dairy products are also traded far more than in previous dynasties.
As for all the goods, the trade in the most precious war horses is also increasing at a rate of 50,000 per year.
After the end of the trade, they raced horses, held sheep, archery, wrestled, danced, sang, drunk, carnivaled, and celebrated their hard-won new life on the grassland.
Chang Guoyu finished counting the last account, came to the room of the Living Buddha of Morgen with the account book, put the account book in front of the Living Buddha Sun Guoxin, who closed his eyes and meditated, and said: "You didn't lie to people, you brought them a new good life that they have never had."
In a sense, you are their living Buddha. β
Sun Guoxin opened his sparkling eyes and said, "Buddha and the world need to be completely cut off. β
Chang Guoyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "How are you going to cut?" You are a Buddha, and you are also one of the 32 members of my Lantian Committee. β
Sun Guoxin glanced at the account book in front of him and said: "This is not what I should see, since so many people trust me, we should return their trust, if we first faced these people in the form of strategy."
Now, when people are honest with us, we have to give them back their trust.
Strategies can only be operated for one time and one place, and cannot last forever.
And the Buddha comes to rule the world, it is easy to form a Buddha's kingdom, such a kingdom is closed, is empty, the Buddha's final pursuit is eternal nirvana, then this empty kingdom will inevitably go to extinction. β
Chang Guoyu said puzzledly: "However, they are very happy." β
Sun Guoxin said: "I can't educate them to pursue the ethereal afterlife, people are passers-by in this world, if they miss it, they will miss it, it is impossible to start again, even if they can do it again, the scenery is different from now."
When we look at the scenery, the scenery becomes our life, and life is too short, there are too many scenery, and if we miss it again and again, it is just a vain life. β
Chang Guoyu now can't recognize this former classmate clearly.
In the past, this guy was much more secular than himself, and he always said that when people come to the world, if they can't have a few more women, they are purely young for nothing.
Now, this guy seems to have become desireless, and when he was in Lantian, he was forced to go to the Qinglou in Chang'an, and this guy just laughed at it.
"The Buddha has changed youβwhat a loss."
Sun Guoxin looked at Chang Guoyu and smiled: "It was I who changed the Buddha, pure meat. In my eyes, the desire to be happy is no longer the ultimate happiness, but the great liberation of the soul is the real happiness. β
Chang Guoyu said: "You are most familiar with the people on the grassland, how do you think it should be changed?" β
"The Buddha said to be detached, to have mercy, to be great, and detachment, to be compassionate, to be great, are all empty."
"What do you mean is that you should be like Boss Yun, only taking benefits and not doing practical things, right?"
"The human mind is infinite, and we can create a perfect world in our imaginations, but there is no such thing as perfection in the real world, and the world is ugly and hurtful, so the Buddha said, 'All living beings are suffering.'"
"So, you've reduced the number of your monk corps?"
"That's right, it must be reduced, the more people there are, the greater the possibility of making mistakes, the Buddha exists in the temple and has its own world, and people in real life outside the temple need someone to restrain them, to guide them, and finally to make them happy."
Chang Guoyu sighed and recited the Buddha's horn to Sun Guoxin with his hands folded: "Amitabha, praise the Buddha." β
After that, he left the bright room with the account book, and Sun Guoxin looked through the window at the Gesang flowers blooming in the field dancing in the wind, and couldn't help but put his hands together and said, "Amitabha." β
The people who came out of Yushan Academy don't like to be led by the nose very much, and each of them has their own ideals.
Sun Guoxin said very clearly that he just wanted to become a Buddha, although Chang Guoyu did not understand what a Buddha was, how to become a Buddha, and obtain great liberation, which did not prevent him from respecting Sun Guoxin's ideals.
In their hearts, there is nothing more precious than an ideal, although Sun Guoxin wants to become a Buddha.
The Buddha is sometimes high up and everywhere.
The Buddha was sometimes extremely lowly, almost down to the dirt.
When the Buddha was big, he could be a mountain and nine thousands, and when he was a small child, he was a flower and a world.
Whether it is up to the nine heavens or down to the nine places, what is important is that it is everywhere.
Sun Guoxin is reluctant to meddle in worldly affairs, which is also in line with Lantian Law, in the Blue Sky Congress, he has quarreled many times over this matter, and now, there is finally a conclusion.
It is what Sun Guoxin said - the Buddha exists in the pure land of the temple and becomes the world by itself.
Sun Guoxin gave up his worldly power, and it seems that he doesn't even want to be a member of the congress committee if possible, and this guy has now completely entered the world of the Buddha.
It's hard to write a piece of paperwork that describes it.
Chang Guoyu didn't even know where to put his pen down.
After a night of silence, he finally wrote a line on the blank paperβMy first sight on the management of nomads.
