Chapter 149 When Ignorance reaches its extreme
Before coming to Uzang, Han Lingshan thought that he still needed to spend some effort to mobilize the poor people here and finally complete the drive out of the local tyrants and evil gentry. Purpose.
After coming to Uszang to start work, Han Lingshan keenly discovered that it was impossible for the people here to spontaneously and consciously complete social reforms.
If the poor in the Ming Dynasty lived a miserable life without enough to eat, then the poor in Uzang lived a life that was not human at all. The life they lived was not even close to being miserable. arrive.
A miserable life must at least have a life before it can be miserable, and they - there is no so-called life at all.
The land on the plateau is vast, and there seems to be countless land. However, 30% of the land here belongs to officials, 30% to nobles, and the remaining 40% to temples.
As for the civilians, they have nothing.
In other words, there are no so-called civilians in the entire Uzang.
The social class structure here is extremely simple - monks, nobles, and slaves, with no middle class.
There is no room for civilians to survive here.
In the Ming Dynasty, the people at least still had the right to be angry and resist, just like Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, and Yun Zhao did. With no way to survive, people still had to resist through force and demand redistribution. social resources.
This power is not given by anyone, but is a natural power that the people of Ming Dynasty have.
In Uzang, people have only heard of individual rebellions, but rarely heard of large-scale serf uprisings. This is not surprising, because the serfs and herdsmen of Uzang The pressure on my body is really too great.
The officials and nobles rule their bodies, while the monks and priests rule their souls. In other words, in Uzang, after more than two thousand years of evolution, the nobles here, Officials and monks have developed a strict set of techniques that can tightly bind serfs and herdsmen to the lowest level.
Theocratic power was entangled with secular power, depriving serfs and pastoral slaves of all the rights they should have enjoyed.
If a person does not read and does not know how to read, he will not be able to absorb the life wisdom left by his ancestors. In Uzang, monks and nobles have full control over the power of reading.
From birth, the serfs and herdsmen at the bottom are just a blank sheet of paper for these monks and nobles to paint on as they please.
They told these serfs and herdsmen that all the suffering they suffered in this life was due to the sins they had committed in their previous lives. They needed to work continuously for the monks and nobles in this life to atone for their sins.
After your sins are fully atone, you will be able to live the good life that the monks and nobles are living now in your next life...Based on this principle, the monks and nobles who are living a good life now are actually those who endured hardships in their previous life. Serfs and pastoral slaves.
Anyone fromDecades after being indoctrinated with such a theory since childhood, even the most determined person will still firmly believe in this theory.
After all, serfs and herdsmen always have to put something in their empty heads.
The noble monks fundamentally completed the final transformation of the serfs and herdsmen.
People have transformed Uzang so completely and thoroughly that Han Lingshan’s theory cannot be put into the heads of the serfs and herdsmen who are already full of theories about the afterlife.
In this case, what Han Lingshan has to do is to find a shining Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for this group of people who are oppressed in the darkest hell.
This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the Living Buddha Mo Rigen who just took away the two sapphires that should be handed over to the national treasury.
God’s affairs can only be solved by relying on God. This is the simplest and most effective way.
Otherwise, if secular people like Han Lingshan were to do this, the people of Uzang would not believe it and would not follow it.
The punishment here is too cruel. This kind of cruelty is not the kind of torture that only a few people can enjoy in Han Dynasty. The torture here is extremely common.
Disobedient? Then, there is no need for the ears to exist and they need to be cut off!
Stealing something? Then, there is no need for these hands to exist, cut them off!
Escape? Only a person with legs can escape. If the legs are chopped off, it will be perfect and he will not be able to escape.
What? Have you angered the landlord? You need to be skinned, and only by letting the landlord listen to the beautiful music made by the tambourine made of your human skin can the anger of the landlord be calmed down.
As for dungeons, water dungeons, whippings, and sticks, they are used to deal with servants with a slightly higher level of thinking. The methods used to deal with the lowest-level serfs, herdsmen, and Uzbek nobles are often simple and crude.
When people cannot be treated as human beings, it stands to reason that rebellion and uprising become a matter of course. However, in Uzang, after people have endured suffering far beyond the treatment of hell, they will I fantasize that I will still have a happy life in the afterlife...
The people here are slaves from spirit to body!
When Sun Guoxin came to the construction site, he was as bright as a sun.
Because tens of thousands of slaves hired by Han Lingshan from the nobles fell to the ground the moment they saw Sun Guoxin, so that Sun Guoxin had no way to go to the construction site to give a speech.
Sun Guoxin, who was accustomed to this scene, stepped on the bodies of these slaves and walked towards the high platform step by step.
He came to the high platform and sat down cross-legged with a smile. He said to the slaves lying at his feet with the kindest smile: "You have redeemed your sins. From now on, your bodies will only belong to Yourselves..."
The slaves lying at the feet looked at Sun Guoxin's sunny face in disbelief and remained silent for a long time.
Sun Guoxin’s voice did notIt's not high, and the words are not very sensational. The tone is calm, as if he is describing an ordinary thing.
“The Living Buddha said that I don’t need to atone for my sins?’
”The Living Buddha said that my suffering has come to an end? "
"The Living Buddha said I am no longer a slave? "
"Balayong Living Buddha said that I was a heinous robber in my previous life..."
"Balayong is an inferior Living Buddha, and Mo Rigen Living Buddha is the great Living Buddha. ”
The sound spread among the crowd and gradually became noisy. Sun Guoxin stood up with a smile, like an oracle descending from the high platform. This time he did not step on the bodies of these slaves, and every step It fell on the gap between people, and finally walked away.
Han Lingshan looked at Sun Guoxin walking towards him, and said with a smile: "Sapphire, please hand it over to the national treasury. When you are working hard, you can go to His Majesty's treasure house, where there is more wisdom waiting for you. "
Sun Guoxin smiled and said: "You have become the largest slave owner in Lhasa in an instant. What are you going to do next? ”
Han Lingshan laughed and said: “Use my thousand tigers in Lantian as sharp blades and these ten thousand Tibetans as long swords to control Lhasa and kill the guilty officials, nobles and monks here.” It's clean. "
Sun Guoxin said: "You can't enter the Potala Palace. "
Han Lingshan said: "I brought 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder this time. There is no reason why I can't get in. Besides, the place is already dilapidated. I plan to build the White House and the Red Palace here again. I It is necessary to build a new Uzang.
Sun Guoxin frowned and said: "If you kill too much, you will attract a group of people to attack."
Han Lingshan sneered: "If you don't smash this shabby world to pieces and reshape it, how can you make the people here truly love me, Lantian?" "
"Your Majesty said that Ngawang Living Buddha should not be moved lightly. "
"Then send him to Yushan. "
"Your Majesty also said that manipulating people's hearts is your specialty, but you can't do it casually. "
"Then tell your Majesty that Han Lingshan only cares about the results, not the process. ”
“Your approach is contrary to His Majesty’s ideas. "
"I will be outside, but I will not accept your orders! "
"Your Majesty is very stingy. He doesn't like your rhetoric. "
"Your Majesty will understand me. "
Sun Guoxin sighed and said: "Why don't you learn to understand His Majesty? After all, for everything you do here, all the comments will fall on His Majesty's head in the end.
Han Lingshan laughed and said: "Your Majesty is a person who will use any means to achieve his goals. As long as the result is good, the most he can do is scold me when he goes back. Could it be said that I have been scolded less by your Majesty over the years?" ? "
Sun Guoxin held Han Lingshan's hand and said: "Be careful. ”
After saying that, he walked away, leaving only a group of Uzang slaves who had stood up, laughing and holding two sapphires like the devil of hell.Like Hanling Mountain.
The slaves continued to work and continued to hit the ground with hammers. I don’t know why, but this time the hammers hit the ground in a uniform manner.
While eating in the evening, the slaves were surprised to find that there were large chunks of butter in the wooden bowls they used to hold tsampa.
This is how people are treated...
"I should drink some yak milk."
"I also want to eat dried meat. The last time I saw Kang I saw so much yak jerky at Ze’s house.”
“I really want to drink butter tea!”
“Kang Ze’s house has a lot of it. Even their maids have it. Throw away the unfinished butter tea."
"I heard that the hostess of the Kangze family is very beautiful?"
"Which lady are you talking about?"
p>"Do they have many wives?"
"There are so many, so many that Kang Ze can't handle them!"
"Where is the fort of Kang Ze's family?" ?"
A Uzang slave stood up, holding his wooden bowl and pointing to a large fort at the bottom of the mountain: "It's right there! But they have a lot of warriors!"
p>"It doesn't matter, let's go at night..."
A thin man who looked like a Han had long been mixed in the crowd, and everyone was already salivating over the beauties of the Kangze family, yak jerky, and butter tea. He pretended to be mysterious and said: "I heard from the followers of Living Buddha Mo Rigen that Kang Ze has done too many bad things and the gods are going to punish him. I heard it is the most terrifying thunder method."
“Oh, my thunder method, can it blow open the wall of the fort?”
“This is for sure. You must know that Living Buddha Mo Rigen is very powerful. He has used thunder before. The herdsmen on the grassland exploded a mountain, and the herdsmen also used thunder to blow up the ground, revealing a clear spring.
Do you know that it was in Zhagaa before? They blocked people's roads and were driven away by the Living Buddha Mo Rigen with a hundred-foot-long whip to the side of Luba and Na Mountains, becoming the Twin Mountains."
"Oh, yeah, let's just wait for the thunder! How can we blow up the fort?”
“Yes, I want to eat less and save some space to eat yak jerky at Kangze’s house!”
