Chapter 148 The Buddha in the Temple
Chapter 148 Buddha in the temple
Yun Zhao always thought that rebellion was the most difficult, so he avoided this most difficult stage. In addition to seeing the Jianzhou people not allowing them to take advantage, he stayed in Guanzhong and looked at Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and others made the world of the Great Ming Dynasty so that he finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
There can't be two fishermen in this game, this is certain, so Lantian's suppression of Jianzhou people is consistent, and it is even cruel.
After ten years of development and ten years of accumulation, Lantian City has become a place that the Mongols cannot live without.
After Yun Zhao had already controlled Xuanfu, Datong, and destroyed Zhangjiakou, Lantian City became the only place where the Mongols could trade.
Facts have proved that if Mongolian herders left the Han people, they would have no way to live.
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 princes and nobles on the grassland. These people had been handled cleanly by Gao Jie and Li Ding** Group, who later ruled the grassland.
Like the inner gates, princes and nobles were not allowed to have more than a thousand sheep, one hundred cows, and more than ten war horses. As for slaves, they would not even think about this kind of thing.
The Mongolian princes and princes were very brave, and none of them were willing to accept such conditions. Therefore, the violent Gao Jie and Li Dingguo sent troops to kill these princes and nobles.
As for the cattle, sheep and war horses that belonged to the princes and nobles, the two men selected a group of cattle and shelter and sent it back outside the pass, and all the remaining ones were distributed evenly to the former herd slaves. Then, each year, two cows and one cow leg, three sheep and five war horses collected taxes.
The shepherds are very happy... before, they didn't have these things!
Since wool has become a good commodity for no reason, the herdsmen only need to shave off the wool every year and hand it over to stupid Chinese merchants, and they can exchange the money they need for barley noodles, tea, salt, and iron tools they need.
The princes and nobles died, and only the princes and nobles were sad. There was no such thing under Lantian anymore. Therefore, the princes and nobles could only be sad within the sphere of influence of the Jianzhou people.
If they dared to leave the sphere of influence of the Jianzhou people, they would be reported by the herdsmen who had finally owned their own cattle and sheep. Then a vicious army rushed over and killed the princes and nobles, and then distributed their cattle and sheep to the herdsmen.
Overall, the territory of Jianzhou people is constantly shrinking.
It was not the Lantian army that invaded their territory, but the herdsmen who tasted the sweetness and were armed by the Lantian army with cold weapons such as bows, arrows, swords and guns.
These simple grassland men were instilled with a common truth by the Lantian people that as long as there were 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 not only monitored the Mongolians who defected to the Jianzhou people, but also monitored their partners. As long as their number of cattle and sheep exceeds the number stipulated in the Lantian Law, they must separate their families.
As a result, a very common phenomenon appeared on the grassland. All herder families basically existed in the form of a family of two, at most, two adult Mongolians supported a pasture with one or several young children.
However, it is impossible to have no head, so the radiant Melgen Living Buddha on the grassland became the leader of all shepherds.
And the Melgen Living Buddha is a real Living Buddha.
His miracles spread throughout the grassland, and he even owned a hall on the supreme Yushan Snow Peak in the minds of the Han people. It is said that even Emperor Yun Zhao, the ruler of the Han people, was extremely respectful when he put the Buddha crown on the living Buddha Melgen.
Every July 15th, the Living Buddha of Melgen holds a huge Dharma Assembly outside Lantian City.
First, to save the dead souls, second, to pray for the living shepherd, and third, to comfort the new Mongolians.
As soon as June comes, countless herders will gather from all directions outside Lantian City, listening to the living Buddha on the vast grassland. After the Dharma Assembly, there will be a huge chamber of commerce.
Merchants who flocked to various places in the Ming Dynasty would become new owners, and the vast grassland outside the Blue Sky City would immediately become a huge market.
Nowadays, this market has become the largest market outside the Lantian market. The annual transaction volume is extremely amazing and the profit is extremely generous. Just a market that lasts for fifteen days can bring taxes of nearly ten million silver dollars to Lantian.
The number of cattle and sheep sold has reached an astonishing three million.
The transaction volume of cowhide, sheepskin, and various storage-resistant dairy products is also far exceeding that of previous dynasties.
As for all goods, the most precious war horse transactions are increasing at a rate of 50,000 horses per year.
The simple Mongolians, when they received the blessings of the living Buddha and the satisfaction of supplies, developed their own grassland ethnic nature. After the transaction was over, they raced horses, held sheep, arched, wrestled, danced, sang, drank, and celebrated their hard-earned new life on the grassland.
After completing the last account, Chang Guoyu took the account book to the room of the Living Buddha in Melgen, and placed the account book in front of Sun Guoxin, who was thinking about the living Buddha with his eyes closed and thought, "You have not lie, you have brought them a new and good life that they have never had.
In a sense, you are their living Buddha.”
Sun Guoxin opened his shiny eyes and said, "The Buddha needs to make a thorough cut between the world."
Chang Guoyu shrugged and said, "How are you going to cut? You are Buddha and one of the 32 members of my Lantian."
Sun Guoxin glanced at the account book in front of him and said, "This is not what I should read. Since so many people trust me, we should return them to trust. If we first faced these people in the form of strategy.
Now that people are sincere in us, we must return them to their trust.
Strategy can only be managed for a time and place, and cannot last forever.
When the Buddha ruled the world, it would be easy to form a Buddha's kingdom. Such a kingdom is closed and empty. The Buddha finally pursues eternal Nirvana, and then this empty kingdom will inevitably lead to destruction."
Chang Guoyu said in confusion: "But they are very happy."
Sun Guoxin said: "I cannot educate them to pursue the vague and ethereal afterlife. People are passers-by in this world. If you miss it, you will miss it. It is impossible to start over. Even if you can start over, the scenery will be different from now.
When we see the scenery, the scenery becomes our life. If life is too short and there are too many scenery, and if we miss it again and again, it will be a waste of life."
Chang Guoyu can no longer recognize this former classmate.
In the past, this guy was much more secular than himself, and he always said that if people come to the world, if they can't have a few women for a long time, they will be innocent and young.
Now, this guy seems to have no desires. When he was in Lantian, he forced him to go to the brothel in Chang'an, and this guy just laughed it off.
"It's a loss for Buddha to change you."
Sun Guoxin looked at Chang Guoyu and smiled and said, "It was me who changed the Buddha, the simple flesh. I want to be happy is no longer the ultimate happiness in my eyes, but the great liberation in the soul is the real happiness."
Chang Guoyu said: "You are most familiar with people on the grassland. How do you think we should change it?"
"The Buddha said, to be detached, to be merciful, to be great, and to be detached, to be merciful, to be great, are all empty."
"What you mean is that you should be like Boss Yun, just take advantage of it and not do practical things, right?"
"Human thoughts are infinite. We can create a perfect world in our fantasy. The real world does not have perfect things. The world is ugly and hurts people's hearts. Therefore, the Buddha said: 'Everyone is suffering."
"So, you've reduced the number of your monks?"
"Yes, it must be reduced. The more people there are, the greater the possibility of making mistakes. Buddhas exist in temples to form their own world. People in real life outside the temple need someone to restrain them, guide them, and finally be happy with them."
Chang Guoyu sighed and clasped his hands at Sun Guoxin and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, praise the Buddha."
After saying that, he left the bright room with his account book. Sun Guoxin looked through the window at the blooming Gesang flowers in the wilderness dancing in the wind, and couldn't help but clasp his hands together and said, "Amitabha."
People who come from Yushan Academy don’t like to be led by others. Each of them has their own ideals.
Sun Guoxin said it 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 achieve great liberation. This did not prevent him from respecting Sun Guoxin's ideal.
In their hearts, nothing is more precious than ideals, although Sun Guoxin wants to become a Buddha.
The Buddha is sometimes high and everywhere.
The Buddha is sometimes extremely humble, almost so humble that he has become in the mud.
When the Buddha was great, he could make a mountain nine feet tall, and when he was small, he would be a flower and a world.
Whether it is reaching nine heavens or entering nine earths, what is important is that it is everywhere.
Sun Guoxin was unwilling to interfere in secular affairs, which was also in line with Lantian's law. At the Lantian Congress, he had quarreled many times over this matter, and now, there was finally a conclusion.
It is what Sun Guoxin said that Buddha exists in the pure land of the temple and forms its own heaven and earth.
Sun Guoxin gave up the power of the world. It seemed that if possible, he didn't even want to be a member of the Congress Committee. This guy has now completely entered the Buddha's world.
The documents describing this matter are difficult to write.
Chang Guoyu didn't even know where to start writing.
