Chapter 148 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 Jianzhou people. In addition to taking advantage, they stayed in Guanzhong and watched Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and others turn the world upside down, and they finally reaped the benefits.

Two fishermen cannot appear in this game. This is certain. Therefore, Lantian's suppression of the Jianzhou people is consistent, continuous and even cruel.

After ten years of development and ten years of accumulation, Lantian City has become a pearl on the fortress, and has even become a place that Mongolians can no longer leave.

After Yunzhao had taken control of Xuanfu and Datong, and destroyed Zhangjiakou, Lantian City became the only place where the Mongols could trade.

Facts have proved that Mongolian herdsmen would have no way to live without the Han people.

Especially after they lost the land for farming, their relationship with the Han people in Lantian City became extremely close.

At this time, there were no princes or nobles on the grassland. These people had been completely dealt with by Gao Jie and the Li Ding regiment who later controlled the grassland.

Similar to Guan Nei, princes and nobles are not allowed to own more than a thousand sheep, a hundred cattle, and ten war horses. As for slaves, this kind of thing is even more unthinkable.

The Mongolian princes were very courageous, but no Mongolian prince was willing to accept such conditions, so the violent Gao Jie and Li Dingguo sent troops to kill these princes and nobles one after another.

As for the cattle, sheep, and war horses belonging to the princes and nobles, these two people selected a batch and sent them back outside the customs. The rest were evenly distributed among the former herdsmen, and then they were taken back from these herdsmen every year. Two cows and one leg of cow, three sheep and one cow, five horses and one horse.

The shepherd slaves were very happy... They didn’t have these things before!

Since wool has become a good commodity inexplicably, herdsmen only need to shave off the wool every year and give it to stupid Han merchants, and then they can use the money from selling the wool to exchange for what they need. Highland barley noodles, tea, salt, and ironware.

When the princes and nobles died, only the princes and nobles were sad. There is no such thing among Lantian subordinates anymore. Therefore, the princes and nobles who can be hysterical and sad can only grieve within the sphere of influence of the Jianzhou people. .

If they dared to leave the Jianzhou people's sphere of influence, they would be reported by the herdsmen who finally had their own cattle and sheep, and then a vicious army would rush over and kill the princes. The nobles killed them and distributed 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 by the Lantian army with cold weapons such as bows, arrows, knives and guns.

These simple prairie men were instilled in the Lantian peopleA common truth is that as long as there are princes and nobles on the grassland, the cattle and sheep in their hands may not belong to them.

Under the call of this slogan, these herdsmen will not only monitor the Mongols who defected to the Jianzhou people, but also monitor their companions, as long as their number of cattle and sheep exceeds the number stipulated by Lantian law , they must separate.

As a result, a very common phenomenon has appeared on the grasslands. All herder families basically exist in the form of a family of two. At most, they are two adult Mongolians with a Or a few young children supporting a ranch.

However, no one can do without a head, so the dazzling living Buddha Morgan on the grassland became the leader of all the herdsmen.

Mergen Living Buddha is a real Living Buddha.

His miracles spread throughout the grasslands, and he even had a palace on the snowy peak of Yushan Mountain, which was supreme in the hearts of the Han people. It is said that even the ruler of the Han people, Emperor Yunzhao, was praying for the living Buddha Moer. When Gen put on the Buddha's crown, he was extremely respectful.

On July 15th every year, the Living Buddha Morgan holds a huge Dharma conference outside Lantian City.

Firstly, it is to save the souls of the dead, secondly, it is to pray for the living shepherds, and thirdly, it is to bless the newly born Mongolians.

As long as June comes, countless herdsmen from all directions will gather outside Lantian City to listen to the Living Buddha preaching on the vast grassland. After the Dharma Conference, there will be a huge Chamber of Commerce.

Businessmen flocking from all over the Ming Dynasty will become the new owners, and the vast grassland outside Lantian City will immediately turn into a huge market.

Nowadays, this market has become the largest market after Lantian Market. The annual transaction volume is extremely amazing and the profits are extremely generous. A market lasting only fifteen days can provide Lantian brought nearly 10 million silver dollars in tax revenue.

The number of cattle and sheep sold reached an astonishing three million.

The trading volume of cowhide, sheepskin, and various shelf-stable dairy products also far exceeds that of previous dynasties.

As for the most precious war horses among all goods, the trade is also increasing at a rate of 50,000 horses per year.

The simple Mongolians, after receiving the blessings of the Living Buddha and being greatly satisfied with their supplies, unleashed the romantic nature of their prairie people. After the transaction, they raced horses and picked up sheep on the grasslands. Archery, wrestling, dancing, singing, drinking, carnival, celebrating their hard-won new life.

Chang Guoyu finished calculating the last account, carried the account book to the room of Living Buddha Morgan, placed the account book in front of Living Buddha Sun Guoxin who closed his eyes and meditated, and said: "You are not lying, you gave me They have brought a new and better life that they have never had before.

In a sense, you are their living Buddha. ”

Sun Guoxin opened his eyes. With shining eyes, he said: "Buddha and the secular world need to be completely separated."

Chang Guoyu shruggedShoulder said: "How are you going to cut it? You are a Buddha and one of the thirty-two committee members of Lantian."

Sun Guoxin glanced at the account book in front of him and said: "This is not what I should look at, since So many people trust me, and we should repay their trust. If we first faced these people in the form of strategy

Now, when people show their sincerity to us, we must repay their trust. Give them trust.

Strategy can only manage one place for a time, and cannot last forever.

When a Buddha comes to rule the world, it is easy to form a kingdom of Buddha. What is closed is empty. The last thing the Buddha pursues is eternal nirvana, so this empty country will inevitably perish."

Chang Guoyu said in confusion: "But they are very happy. "

Sun Guoxin said: "I can't educate them to pursue the ethereal afterlife. People are passers-by in this world. If you miss it, you will miss it. It is impossible to come back. Even if you can come back, the scenery will be lost. It is also different from now.

When we look at the scenery, the scenery becomes our life, and life is too short and there are too many scenery. If we miss it again, we will live in vain. ”

In the past, this guy was more worldly than me, and he always said that if a person comes to this world and cannot have a few women for a few days, his youth will be in vain.

Now, this guy seems to have become lustless. When he was in Lantian, he was forced to go to a brothel in Chang'an, and this guy just laughed it off.

"The Buddha changed you - what a shame."

Sun Guoxin looked at Chang Guoyu and said with a smile: "I changed the Buddha. I am purely fleshly and want to be happy." In my eyes, it is no longer the ultimate happiness, but the great liberation of the soul is the real happiness."

Chang Guoyu said: "You are most familiar with the people on the grassland, how do you think it should be changed. ?"

"Buddha said that you need to be detached, compassionate, and great, but detachment, compassion, and greatness are all empty."

"You mean, you are. You should be like Boss Yun, only taking benefits and not doing anything practical, right?"

"Human thoughts are infinite. We can create a perfect world in fantasy, but the real world does not exist. The world is ugly and hurtful when it comes to perfection. Therefore, the Buddha said: 'All living beings suffer.'

"So, you reduced the number of your monks?"

"Yes, it must be reduced. The more people there are, the greater the possibility of making mistakes. The Buddha exists in the temple and forms a world of his own. People in real life outside the temple need someone to restrain them and go. Guide them and make them happy in the end."

Chang Guoyu sighed, put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, praise the Buddha."

After that, he hugged. He left the bright room with his account book, and Sun Guoxin looked through the window at the blooming Gesang flowers dancing in the wind, and couldn't help but clasp his hands.The tenth way: "Amitabha."

People who came out of Yushan Academy don't like to be led by others. Each of them has his own ideals.

Sun Guoxin said very clearly that he wanted to become a Buddha. Although Chang Guoyu did not understand what a Buddha was and how to become a Buddha and gain great liberation, this did not prevent him from respecting Sun Guoxin's ideals. .

In their hearts, nothing is more precious than ideals, even though Sun Guoxin wants to become a Buddha.

The Buddha is sometimes aloof and omnipresent.

The Buddha was sometimes extremely humble, almost as low as the earth.

When the Buddha was big, he could be as tall as a mountain, and when he was small, he was like a flower and a whole world.

Whether it reaches the nine heavens or descends to the nine places, what matters is that it is everywhere.

Sun Guoxin is unwilling to interfere in secular affairs, which is also in line with the Lantian Law. In the Lantian Congress, they have argued about this matter many times, and now, there is finally a conclusion.

This is what Sun Guoxin said - the Buddha exists in the pure land of the temple and forms a world of its own.

Sun Guoxin gave up his secular power. It seems that if possible, he would not even want to be a member of the Congress Committee. This guy has now completely entered the world of Buddha.

The document describing this matter is very difficult to write.

Chang Guoyu didn’t even know where to start.

After pondering for a night, he finally wrote a line of words on the white paper - My first thoughts on the management of nomadic peoples.
