Chapter 604 Development is the last word
Chapter 6o4: The hard truth
Zuo Shaoyang asked Dalongxin: "How many cattle and sheep we brought this time, besides killing the meat to help the people yesterday, how many are there left?"
Dalongxin said: "There are more than 400 cows, five hundred horses, and more than 600 sheep."
"How many families can these livestock support to the people?"
"Twenty or thirty families."
"That is, it's only enough to support one or two hundred people?"
"yes."
Zuo Shaoyang shook his head: "It's a drop in the bucket. What should I do?"
Paga said: "The Dharma King, no matter where he is, he has many poor people and kind-hearted masters. He is very generous when giving something during the holidays and has not donated all his wealth to the people. Therefore, the Dharma King doesn't have to worry too much about this matter."
"No!" Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "It would be fine if I don't take it as your head. Since I have taken it as your head, I must take care of it. We must let everyone eat, wear and live in a good place!"
Qi Zhu said: "The Dharma King is the Dharma King of our Jaer teachings. You only need to take care of our teachings. How can we teach these dozens of people be able to eat and wear warmth?"
Zuo Shaoyang said: "I know, you don't want to share my property with everyone. To be honest, I'm a person who has died once, and I earn one day after another, so I don't care about anything, especially money. My parents and family have real estate, land, and buying and selling, and they can't be hungry or frozen. So don't worry, I have 100,000 taels of silver on me, and I want to use it to buy cattle and sheep to share it with everyone. Although I have no obligation to take care of the people of Mandala, I am just the Dharma King of Jer's teachings, but I can't bear it when I see them suffering."
Paga muttered: "How can we take care of so many poor people in the world? Besides, how can we give so much money for nothing? No matter how generous the rich man is, he has never been."
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "My money doesn't fall from the sky, of course I can't give it to others for nothing. I just temporarily sell the cattle and sheep to them without interest and build houses for them. I lent them the money to them and I will pay it back to me when they have money in the future."
"Sales for credit?" The two elders and four guards looked at each other, "Can they have money to repay the Dharma King in the future?"
"There will be a time, just a little time, and it's all for no rest. As the saying goes, I can't bear to let my children get stuck in the wolf, and I have to use money to make money. I can't let the hundreds of thousands of silver in my hand be idle. I have to use money to help them get rich, develop the economy of our mandala, start handicrafts, vigorously develop animal husbandry, and create a tertiary industry. We have to do a multi-pronged approach. Our mandala is too small, and it's not enough to make money from other countries. This depends on our handicrafts. The two hundred craftsmen we brought are not vegetarians. They will definitely make great achievements! After a few years, when they become rich, they will naturally be able to pay back my money."
When Zuo Shaoyang said this, some words were not able to speak in Tibetan, but they just said them in Chinese. The six people were confused, but they always felt that they would invest more than 100,000 taels of money to the mandala at once, but they were afraid that the Dharma King would lose all his money.
Zuo Shaoyang was confident. Anyway, the money was fed from Du Jing, so he didn't feel sorry for him even if he lost money. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, listen to me. We will go out to Xiangxiong today, sell jewelry, buy cattle and sheep and get back to share it with the people. How many cattle and sheep can we buy 100,000 taels of silver?" Zuo Shaoyang looked at the right elder Dachi, "You have been in the mandala, do you know?"
Da Equator: "There are only one thousand households in the mandala. Generally speaking, a family of five people, thirty cows, one hundred sheep, and two horses are enough. It costs about forty taels of silver. A thousand households is only forty taels of silver. There is no need for one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Is that so? Haha, that's OK, I saved half of it. I just booked it, where can I buy it?"
"It's this problem," Da Equator, "I want 30,000 cows, 100,000 sheep, and 2,000 horses. With such a large number, even if I go to our Xiangxiong Qionglong Silver City, I can't buy it."
"No way?"
"The common people's cattle and sheep are generally not taken out. Even if they want to sell them to make money to buy salt and tea, they are just one cow. If a few sheep are sold like this, it is impossible to sell so much. Moreover, they are sold in the slaughter season in a year, and they are not sold normally."
“When is the slaughter season?”
"It's usually November, and it's over."
"How much can I buy? It's better to buy a part first."
"I think it's good to sell a hundred cows and five hundred sheep."
"What can I do, only enough for three or four companies."
Dalong smiled bitterly and said, "Dharma King, the people in our Western Regions are relatively poor, and there are generally not many cattle and sheep, and they rely on cattle and sheep to support their families. If they sell them, they will be sold for silver, and there is no place to buy food for the money, and they will starve to death after eating them all. So they are unwilling to sell them."
"Xiangxiong cannot do it, what about Tubo? What about Yangtong? No matter how can it do it, there are Nipola and Tianzhu in the south!"
"Nipora and Tianzhu are poorer than us. Don't expect to buy it."
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned. He didn't expect that he could not buy cattle and sheep when he came here with a bunch of jewelry.
When the entire Western Regions were generally poor, it was difficult to buy cattle and sheep, but he didn't believe in evil. He thought about it and said, "Then let's go separately, each person goes to one place, buy a few hundred heads at a time, and accumulate it slowly, wouldn't it be enough! I don't believe that I can't buy cattle and sheep even if I have money!"
Dalongxin said: "If you really want to buy it, you can buy it. It's just to give more money and spend more time and travel more. However, everyone thinks that the money is your own. You can donate half of it to the people of the Mandala, which is probably inappropriate."
"What's wrong with it? Whoever I love to give to my money!"
"But that's your hard money after all. What benefits will it do to you if you share the money with everyone?"
Zuo Shaoyang asked: "I ask you, what is my status in the minds of the people of Mandala?"
"You are God, and the people of the whole city worship you."
"That's it. Since I am God, I should get benefits if I believe in me. If I don't give them some benefits, what do I do if I believe in me?"
"Eliminate disasters and solve problems, not get cattle and sheep."
"Isn't it a benefit to get cattle and sheep?"
"This, hehe, that's a bigger benefit."
"Isn't this going to end!" Zuo Shaoyang said: "Okay, sell the jewelry and buy cattle and sheep separately!"
Since the idea was decided by the Dharma King, there was nothing to say. On that day, Zuo Shaoyang took Da Longxin and, under the protection of the guards sent by Duomian Kingdom, went back to Xiangxiong Qionglong Silver City.
King Xiangxiong was still a very sensible person, and he did not dare to suppress the price of the Dharma King. Zuo Shaoyang sold all the remaining nine jewelry to King Xiangxiong, and exchanged 160,000 taels of silver. Zuo Shaoyang took out 100,000 taels of silver to the elders and the guardians, and gave them a few silver as money, asking them to lead people to buy cattle and sheep in neighboring countries and tribes. All the silver is bought, the more the better. The remaining 20,000 taels of silver is used to build housing in the mandala, including various shops.
Zuo Shaoyang had asked the altar master and his subordinates to tell his ideas about each household in the city, sending cattle and sheep without interest, and helping to build houses without interest. In the future, if you have money, you will pay it back and if you have no money, you will lose it.
Now the entire mandala was clamoring, and the people were so grateful to Zuo Shaoyang that they swear to return the money to the Dharma King first.
For handicrafts and service industries, it mainly relied on the 200 kinds of craftsmen and female slaves brought by Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang invested a large amount of investment, and handicraft workshops and various shops were quickly built.
The craftsmen brought by Misang can finally play a role. With the support of Zuo Shaoyang's huge sum of money, the craftsmen's business is easier.
These craftsmen were all from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the handicrafts of the Tang Dynasty were far ahead of the Western Regions, so the handicrafts they made were very popular.
Zuo Shaoyang immediately spent money to form a special marketing team and sells handicrafts everywhere. These products were very popular and very popular. They were not only popular in Xiangxiong, but also sold to Yangtong, Tubo, Nipola, Tianzhu and other places. The reputation of handmade products of Gangren Buche was soon created.
Da Longxin and the others also fully implemented Zuo Shaoyang's intentions. The cattle and sheep they bought were given at a relatively favorable price, so they were willing to sell it. The cattle and sheep were sent back to the mandala.
Zuo Shaoyang and the owner of the altar compiled a list, starting from the poorest families to sell cattle and sheep, each with six cows and twenty sheep and one horse, with a standard price sale. Zuo Shaoyang didn't even sign a contract with them, and just wanted to pay it back, and if he didn't pay it back, he would lose his thoughts.
The people in the Mandala were even more moved by the fact that the Dharma King was not easy to write IOUs. However, they all believed from the bottom of their heart that the Dharma King was a god and could not be deceived, so they all made up their minds that once they had money, they would have to return it to the Dharma King first, and they would not dare to deceive in terms of the number.
Every household has cattle, sheep, shops and living in it. This Tibetan New Year is particularly comfortable. I am grateful to Zuo Shaoyang.
During the Tibetan New Year, Zuo Shaoyang brought two daughters, the altar master, and several elders and guardians to visit the New Year from house to house to pay New Year's greetings. This made the people in the mandala very nervous. I have never heard of the Dharma King coming back to greet the people. They cleaned up the tents and kowtowed to wait for Zuo Shaoyang and the others to arrive. At this moment, the people in the city said that Zuo Shaoyang, the new Dharma King, was good. He used to get his credit sales to spend the severe winter, but now he has received respect from others, which is even more touching. This feeling is deeper.
Now, as long as Zuo Shaoyang climbs up and calls, the people of the whole city will follow him to fight desperately.
Of course, Zuo Shaoyang did this not for this purpose. He just wanted to make himself, the Dharma King, not just for his name, to truly do something for the people who believe in him.
After the beginning of spring, Zuo Shaoyang took out part of the money to build a house and sold it to the people who did not have a house. This made the people even more grateful. In addition, he took out some money to start building the temple of the Jeer Cult.
This is unprecedented. Because there were no temples at this time of Bon Buddhism, and the practice of Taoism was in caves or homes. There was no special temple.
Among the craftsmen brought by Zuo Shaoyang, there were a considerable number of construction craftsmen, many of whom had participated in the construction of temples. With their help, Zuo Shaoyang designed a temple. Because it was just beginning, there were not many monks. At this time, there were many places to spend money, and believers had not yet accepted this new thing, so he did not invest too much money in the temple. He just built a main hall, several monks' houses, and courtyard walls. The temple was built on a small mountain at the foot of the Gangrenbuche Mountain.
With the injection of tens of thousands of taels of silver in Zuo Shaoyang, under the command of his modern mind, the entire Mandala economy has leap forward. A virtuous cycle has been formed: the people can squeeze cattle and sheep milk, sheep sheep, kill cattle and sheep for money, and buy crafts by craftsmen with money. The tax on Mandala has increased significantly. So there is money to build municipal facilities, and the Mandala has become clean and clean, attracting more people to join Mandala, settle down here, and manage and live a living life.
One of the important reasons why the Mandala is attractive is Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills. In the eyes of believers, this has become a master spell, so the news of Gangren Buche having a powerful spell has flew throughout the Western Regions just like wings.
People all hope to be protected by powerful forces, especially if this force comes from God's words.
Therefore, most of the people who migrated from all over the world came for this magical magic power. Of course, the rich life here is also very attractive.
Zuo Shaoyang invested funds to build the Jieer Temple. When the temple was built, the young and strong laborers in the city took dry food to help with their volunteers, so the construction was very fast. In less than a month, the entire temple was completed. It was named Jieer Temple.
There is a small courtyard in the temple that is specially designed for the family of the Dharma King. Zuo Shaoyang brought two concubines and ten charming singers to move in. The temple also has a Zen room for elders and guardians. Dalongxin and Mei Duo have never lived in their own temple, and they are all very surprised.
While the construction was being carried out in full swing, Zuo Shaoyang received the first wave of distinguished guests in the newly completed Jieer Temple. He was a distinguished guest accompanied by Xiangxiong Kingdom. This distinguished guest actually came from Chang'an, a Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away!
Zuo Shaoyang immediately had a premonition that something was about to give birth.
This father-in-law handed over a letter from Li Shimin to Zuo Shaoyang! Emperor Li Shimin did not use the imperial edict to issue an edict, but used a gentle method of letters, which made Zuo Shaoyang feel that Emperor Li Shimin had used the last method, and what the emperor asked him in the letter must be a very, very important thing to the emperor.
This is a secret letter. Zuo Shaoyang cut it with a knife and pulled out the mud gold letter to open it and read it. As expected, Empress Changsun was critically ill!
Zuo Shaoyang had read a lot of history books before and knew that Emperor Li Shimin respected and loved Empress Changsun so much that he could never be more respectful. After Empress Changsun's death, Li Shimin did two unprecedented things to express his grief about his beloved wife's death. One was to build a house in the Yuan Palace where Empress Changsun was buried, and ordered the palace people to live there, serving the empress like serving the living. At the same time, he also built a tall building in the palace, staying on the tall building all day long, looking at the place where his deceased wife was buried.
There was a saying in ancient times that "the husband does not sacrifice his wife", and he should not be like this as an emperor. This practice was discussed by the ministers, but he cried to the ministers that since his beloved wife died, he "had a trance, and should forget his taste in food and sleep day and night." He personally raised Empress Changsun's girlfriend Princess Jinyang and her youngest son Li Zhi. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's loving couple, both official and folk history, have a completely affirmative attitude.
