??A large courtyard in the city, Yuwen Wen, Zhou Faming and others were having a discussion. The local allies of the Japanese rich Suwo family, together with Simada and others, invited several "vigorous" travelers.

Just now, a Baekje ship brought a stone statue of Maitreya Buddha, and Simada and others greeted him at the dock. As a result, some people refused to allow the Buddha statue to enter the country, which led to a conflict. Fortunately, Zhou Faming bravely helped, and Yuwen Wen's "assistance" drove these people away.

Sima Da, who was old, was quite concerned about Zhou Faming, a visitor from his hometown. He also saw that Yu Wen Wen, who called himself "Yu Wen", and his subordinates were very capable, and had a desire to recruit.

However, Yuwen Wen refused and he did not persuade him further.

Now everyone is talking about topics of interest. Zhou Faming talked about Jiankang's "recent situation" to Sima Da and others, while Yuwen Wen asked the ancestor of Japanese Buddhism who was later taught about the customs and customs of Japan.

After preliminary introduction, he roughly found out that he was Hakata in Kitakyushu region, which was an important port in Japan, roughly located in the northwest of Kyushu Island. In this era, the departure port of Japan sent envoys to the Central Plains, Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo.

The envoys sent by Japan to various countries boarded a ship in Namba, Honshu (island), and arrived at the port of Hakata, Kyushu Island, to the west, and waited for the hyacinth. They took advantage of the wind to cross the sea and could reach Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo to the north, and to the west and southwest to the Central Plains.

"Brother-in-law, the ship we are waiting for is storm and is now repairing in Hakata Port. I wonder if I can ask this person...Ahem, please help him and make more wood or something."

The official who led the troops was from a local tyrant. When the host and the guest introduced each other, Yuwen Wen could not remember the long name. Now he has met a local snake, so he naturally has to take a shortcut.

"Don't worry, my husband, I have told the garrison the reason, and the wood and manpower will be provided first from tomorrow."

"It's been a labor."

Yuwen Wen bowed to the local snake, smiling all over his face.

The boat was repaired quickly, and the closer it was to go home, Yu Wenwen finally felt better, so he talked too much, and asked why someone blocked the Buddha statue from entering.

Speaking of this, Sima Da and others were helpless and explained the reason in detail:

Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains, and from the Central Plains it was introduced into Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Then about thirty years ago, the Holy King of Baekje presented Buddha statues and scriptures to the king of Japan, which was considered an official level of dissemination.

He himself and many Buddhists have been running around for decades to promote Buddhism, which is considered to be a spread at the folk level.

Japan originally had its own religious beliefs and was a clan god of various tribes, so the nobles who evolved from tribal clans to wealthy clans had different opinions on foreign Buddhism.

Who should God and Buddha choose?

The strong advocated the introduction of Buddhism was the newly-risen wealthy family, Suwo family, for the worship of Buddhism; while the opposition to Buddhism was the rising wealthy family, for the pre-sale Buddhist school.

Regarding whether to promote Buddhism, the king of Japan summoned all the ministers to discuss it. Su Wodao, one of the important officials, advocated accepting it, while the important officials, the Ministry of Finance, opposes it.

The opinion of the Matsushita Yayu is that Japan has one hundred and eight gods (national gods). If it believes in foreign gods (Buddhas), it will cause the national gods to be furious and bring disasters.

The king persuaded Suwo Daomu and allowed him to make a Buddhist temple in his house. Suwo Daomu family worshiped Buddha and recited scriptures. Not long after, a plague broke out in various places. The Matsu took the opportunity to tell the emperor that this was the "wrath of the national god", so all the Buddha statues were thrown into the river and the temple was burned.

The court prohibited the spread of Buddhism within the country, but the law allowed Su I to believe in it, but not to spread it outside the country. Su I Iodao Me has been persistent in promoting Buddhism. Later, the court's attitude relaxed and allowed the reestablishment of Buddhist temples on a small scale.

The Su Wo family, who worships Buddhism, did not give up their goals, and the Wubu family, who is Pai Buddha, did not give up their goals either. The two sides had different political views and launched open and secret struggles around religious issues.

Suwodaomu passed away, and his son Suwomazi continued to be obsessed with introducing Buddhism as the head of Suwo family. After the Yumuwei left, his son Yumushi's son inherited the will of his father and led the Yumushi family to drive Buddhism out of Japan.

The struggle between gods and Buddhas is now the struggle between the Wubu clan and the Suwo clan. Now Buddhism is in Japan, and only the Suwo clan is allowed to believe in it. This time, the Maitreya Buddha statue carried by the Baekje ship was sent to the Suwo clan's family temple in the capital.

The people who had been involved in the dock before were the people who arranged it in Hakata. Suwo's ​​every move was like a shadow. Simada and others led people to welcome the Buddha in Hakata, so the people from the dokata also sent people to Hakata to intercept it.

The reason for the Mubu clan is high-sounding: the court ordered that the Buddha was not allowed to be welcomed privately!

The reason for Su Wo family is also very legitimate: the court allowed Su Wo family to believe in Buddhism himself!

Anyway, it is reasonable and beneficial. As for how "constrained" it depends on the means of their own people. The goal of the wave of people just now is also very direct: smashing the Buddha statue and finishing it all.

"Thanks to Zhou Langjun and Yu Langjun to help, otherwise the Buddha statue would have been destroyed, and I would not know how to return to the capital to report to the ministers."

The "sanction" mentioned by Sima Da and others is the position of Suwo Mazi, the head of the Suwo family, and his opponent, the head of the Fubu family, is "Dalian", and they are all one of the highest official positions in Japan.

"The father-in-law traveled to Japan, just like the father-in-law who crossed the river with one reed, and promoted Buddhism for decades. How could the young man let Xiao Xiao dirty the Buddha statue and ruin his hard work!"

Zhou Faming was filled with righteous indignation when he said this. He was not considered devoutly believing in Buddhism, but he was inevitably infected by the atmosphere of worshipping Buddhism in Jiangnan.

"Mr....Who is Master Bodhidharma?" Tian Yilong asked Yuwen Wen quietly. He really didn't understand the allusions of the characters that everyone talked about.

"It's a long story... If you have time, please ask Sima Yang for advice..."

Yuwen Wen probably understood some Buddhist allusions, but did not dare to mislead his children, so he "blamed" Yang Ji without hesitation. Anyway, if he did too much such things, he would not have much psychological burden.

"My father-in-law, I wonder if the Suwo family and the Wubu family mentioned just now have the same status as the kings and Xie clans who passed through the south after they were dressed in the south?" Zhou Faming finally asked the idea after hearing the "local customs and customs" for a long time.

"That is, now Su and Ma Zi serve as ministers, and the property department guards the houses and Dalian are all important positions in the court, and most of the other important positions are held by their confidants." Sima Da and others said, "I have been running around for decades. Thanks to the strong assistance of Su and my clan, Minister Su and my ministers have always been friendly to those who come to the ferry..."

Seeing that the "headhunter" began to poach the secret again, Yuwen Wen immediately interrupted: "Brother-in-law, I have something unknown to the young man, I want to ask for advice..."

"Please tell me, Mr. Yu."

"Well... the young man is in Jiangnan... Shannan has some tricks... If you can transport Buddhist scriptures to Japan, or if there is a great monk who is enlightened to come to Japan to preach the Dharma, I wonder if my father-in-law is happy..."

"Yourangjun is serious!" Sima Da and others stood up excitedly, "I have been here when I was young, and I have had almost no contact with my hometown for decades. If the Langjun could bring Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, then it would be..."

Seeing that this person who had already entered the sign of excessive excitement and cerebral hemorrhage, Yuwen Wen quickly stepped forward to support him and persuaded Zhou Faming with kind words, so that the other party could calm down a little.

"Brother-in-law, Yu... Yu Langjun has a lot of ways in Shannan and has contacts with major ancient temples..." Zhou Faming was obviously damaged by Yuwen Wen, and his face was not red when he lied. "If my father-in-law needs it, I will definitely try every means to transport Buddhist scriptures and statues to Japan after I go back."

"There are also great monks who spread the Dharma!" Yuwen Wen emphasized this again.

"Okay, okay, okay! I immediately report back to Minister Su and I, and ask everyone not to punish me!"

"If the ship berthed by Hakata at that time, it will be driven away by some inexplicable person, this..."

"Mr. Yu Lang! If this matter is decided, if Minister Su and I speak in the court, Hakata Harbor will always open the door to Mr. Lang!"

Simada and others were very excited. All they could contact in Japan was Baekje and Silla. If they had the help from the Central Plains, the confidence in promoting Buddhism in Japan would be much stronger.

‘Buy, trade!’ Yuwen Wen thought so, no matter how excited he was, he had other plans in his heart. Making money is second, and not being intentional is the truth.

In the past, Japan was not even a disease of scabies in the Central Plains. His actions were slightly more than 20 times in history. The Battle of Baijiangkou was about 80 years later. The Japanese and Baekje coalition forces were taught by the Tang army to be human in Baijiangkou on the Korean Peninsula.

The Japanese army was defeated in that battle, which scared the Japanese court. He knew that the boss was strong and could not be provoked. Without saying a word, he knelt down and sang to conquer. He sent a large number of envoys to the Central Plains to study various advanced cultural systems.

The second attack on Zhong Er disease was in the Wanli Korean War in the late Ming Dynasty. The Japanese army that invaded Korea was taught by the Ming army in the afterglow of the sunset.

The third time was Sino-Japanese War. I didn’t want to say it anymore, but it would be tears if I talk too much.

Since God has blown him to Japan by a storm, what should I do? So Yuwen Wen wants to learn advanced experience: in history, Buddhism abolished Tubo and Mongolia, so it would be nothing to harm Japan!

In this era, Japan was not very clear about the specific historical direction, but only knew that it was about the transition period between the Kotom Age (Yamato Age) and the Asuka Age. Who was the final winner of the various forces in its domestic countries? I don’t know.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Suwo and the Fobu family will decide the winner sooner or later. He doesn't know who will laugh the last, but judging from the great development of Buddhism in Japan in later generations, Suwo family has a great chance of winning.

Su I, the family worships Buddhism and has a power in the court. If they win, they will definitely promote Buddhism vigorously. Then the opportunity comes: everyone in Japan can recite scriptures and every family worships Buddha!

There are temples everywhere in the country, occupying a large amount of land and fertile land. Rare copper is used as Buddha statues. Every household saves money and worships the temples. Just like the situation facing Zhou State back then: taxes and labor force are sharply reduced.

There are even more cruel things, just like when the Lamaism was introduced to Mongolia, except for the eldest son, all the males became monks and became lamas (monks). No one joined the army or worked in labor.

Being a lama (monk) cannot get married and have children, the population cannot be increased, taxes cannot be paid, and temple forces of all sizes "desert" the country.

Of course, we must emphasize the principle that "monks cannot get married and have children". After all, in later generations, it is normal for monks to marry and have children, so we must "correct" this system from the root.

Yuwen Wen felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy. He should strongly support Simada and other missionary cause within the scope of his spare time and build Japan into a "worldly Buddhist country."

The temples with large and large tails cannot be lost. The weak central court, everyone is thinking about cultivating the next life, so they have no intention of landing on the Korean Peninsula and marching towards the rich Central Plains.
