Yuchi Sanlang got off the train and looked at Yizhou, which was dilapidated but full of energy, and felt like a different life. The station was newly built and had not been completely built, and it seemed a bit simple. Many vendors were hawking outside the station gate, with noise.

In front of the station, in addition to the generals led by Zhao Zi, there were also monks such as the presidency of several nearby temples. Outside the station, a large number of believers gathered, and incense tables were set up along the long street.

Following Yuchi Sanlang is a monk, Zhiming, a wise guest monk from Daxiangguo Temple, who was sent to Yuchi Sanlang back to his country according to the sage.

Zhao Zi brought the general forward and saluted Yuchi Sanlang: "Thank you for your hard work on the road. When you arrive in Yizhou, let's take a few days off."

Yuchi Sanlang clasped his hands together and said, "I dare not. When I came, the sages made it clear. I have no master and nothing to do. Let us go quickly."

Zhao Zi said, "Since that's the case, then take a day off and go tomorrow. This time, it's thousands of miles away to Khotan. When the king and the master arrived there, the flowers were already blooming. I heard that the master came and the believers of Yizhou were dedicated to worship. Tonight, I stayed in Baocheng Temple outside the city to preach to the believers."

Zhiming and the ten: "It should be like this. I am here this time to preach to the believers on the order of the emperor."

As a wise monk at Xiangguo Temple, Zhiming is certainly not a profound Buddhist, and his ability is more to be good at everything. He was sent here because Yuchi Sanlang was a slave. Although he lived in the Central Plains for many days and studied Buddhism, he still did not lose his nature. In order to successfully establish the Kingdom of Khotan, a senior figure with a clear ear and good eye and knowledgeable attitude was needed. The Western Regions are all Buddhist countries, and of course it is suitable for monks.

Zhiming's official identity is Master Khotan, and he is a clever in the capital. He has an official identity and is not an ordinary monk. After all, he is a monk from Daxiangguo Temple. His Buddhist teachings are a little worse, and he is still enough to preach. According to the rules left before, when he arrives in Yizhou, he should go to the Great Temple to preach.

After leaving the station, the street suddenly became quiet. The believers on both sides of the incense tables knelt down and lit the incense. For a moment, the smoke was shrouded in as if they were in a temple. Zhiming stepped forward, folded his hands together, and bowed and thanked him.

Yuchi Sanlang, Zhao Zi and others followed Zhiming and walked all the way into the city lord's mansion.

The guest and host took a seat and said wisely: "People say that the Western Regions are a Buddha's country. When they see it today, it turns out that way. There are many believers and they are particularly pious. The general can reveal the list. Tonight I will go to Baocheng Temple to explain the Buddhist scriptures, and all believers can go."

Zhao Zi said that he was. He ordered the soldiers to come and drink to welcome Yuchi Sanlang and Zhiming.

That night, Zhiming gave a lecture, and left Yizhou the next day, heading to Gaochang, and heading towards Shule. More than a month later, he arrived at Shule. Although the peach blossoms were not blooming, the breath of spring was already very strong.

Du Zhongxiao welcomed him out of the city and personally welcomed Yuchi Sanlang and Zhiming into the city. When he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he sat down with the guests.

After asking for tea, Du Zhongxiao bowed to Yuchi Sanlang: "It has been two years since we parted in Shengzhou before we knew it. How can the king always be good?"

Yuchi Sanlang replied: "Since entering the Central Plains, the emperor has made proper arrangements, it is very happy. I was originally a slave son, and I have been able to achieve this today, thanks. The Kingdom of Khotan has been destroyed for more than fifty years, and the Lord of Khotan is very difficult. Now I have rebuilt the Kingdom of Khotan, and the Lord of Khotan has made great merits."

Du Zhongxiao saw that Yuchi Sanlang had changed a lot after passing through the time in the Central Plains. He no longer acted frivolously like the last time he saw him, nothing mattered, and his speech was organized. He knew in his heart that the past two years in the Central Plains had not been wasted.

Yuchi Sanlang was mostly in Buddhist temples in the Central Plains, especially Mount Wutai. Mount Wutai is the temple of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and has a special status in Western Buddhism. Many believers believe. Living there is many benefits for the future. Even if you are wise and wise, you are also from Mount Wutai.

After talking for a while, Du Zhongxiao said, "There are some of the most prominent figures in the Khotan, and now the crows are watching. Three days later, I will go to Khotan with the king and meet them by the way. Now, in the city of Khotan, although the merchants are not prosperous, the market is a bit deserted and generally calm."

Now the people in Khotan are Zhang Ke and Zhang Sheng. In addition to maintaining order, they basically do not care about the rest, which is equivalent to autonomy. The so-called top figures are also local tribes. With them, the local order will be stable. There are only more than 20,000 households in Khotan, and there is no actual business income. After the Black Khan occupied Khotan, he paid tribute many times in the name of Khotan to occupy commercial interests. However, there are caravans in Khotan, who relied on trafficking Indian goods from the south of the mountains and then transported them to the Central Plains for profit. The Black Khans left, and these caravans were still there, but the commercial road to the Central Plains was not open, and they had not done a large-scale business. Now the railway reached Yizhou, and they could go from the south of the desert to Yizhou, and then take the railway to the Central Plains.

Yuchi Sanlang bowed: "Since the Kingdom of Khotan was destroyed and the royal family was scattered, many things were no longer the same. I went to rebuild the Kingdom of Khotan. To be honest, it still needed the strong assistance of the commander and the garrison. I was alone and had no one to help, how could I do such a big thing?"

Du Zhongxiao said, "Don't worry, the garrison of the imperial court, as long as we inform the general, we will naturally help the king. Khotan is a kingdom under the imperial court, and everything will have its own court. All other systems, when we arrive in Khotan and meet the local people, what should we say?"

Yuchi Sanlang said, "Thank you so much for Ji Zheng. A new country is established and everything is complicated. It is not so easy. If Ji Zheng is there, everything will be easy. As long as the imperial army is there, nothing is a big deal."

Fu Bi said: "When the king returns to Khotan, the court must have an explanation. As long as he acts according to the will, what big things can happen!"

Yuchi Sanlang bowed: "What the deputy envoy said is that Khotan is a thousand-year-old country. Even if the country has been destroyed for fifty years, everything can be restored as long as you put your heart into it. But the first few years will definitely not be easy."

Fu Bi said, "What's the difficulty with so many people helping you? Please be at ease. As long as you do things with your heart and treat the people well, everything will not be difficult. Now that the train arrives in Yizhou, you will be able to reach Gaochang in a few months. From now on, the court will work hard all the way to Khotan. At that time, it will not be difficult to do business in the Central Plains. As long as the finances are not worrying, everything will be easy."

Yuchi Sanlang nodded without saying anything. In the Central Plains for two years, he was not the son of the previous slave, and he was heartless. Fu Bi said it well, as long as the regime has money, everything is not difficult. But he was an empty royal family, with an edict from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, why would all the people respect him after he went back? Hei Khan, except for almost ignoring the taxes, how could he live better?

If you want to win the hearts of the people, you will inevitably deal with the powerful. But if you deal with the powerful, how can you get the support of the big families in the early stage? You can't just ask the Song army for everything and rely on the Song army to attack the local tyrants, then you will become a puppet.

Yuchi Sanlang was really excited to go back to be a king. But when he remembered the things that the founding of the country had to face, he was also confused. In the past two years, he has met many people and learned the worldly ways. He lived in the temple for a long time, learned Buddhism, and knew how to get along with people. But he has never seen and taught him how to establish a regime.

Du Zhongxiao said, "If you talk about these things later, how can you explain them clearly? The king rarely comes to Shule. He will hold a banquet to welcome you tonight. Shule is lively here. The king lives here for two or three days to familiarize himself with the geographical and human feelings of the Western Regions. In three days, we will go to Khotan together."

Yuchi Sanlang bowed to his word. He grew up in Gaochang and was familiar with the geography and human feelings in the Western Regions.
