Chapter 8 Chapter Eight
Yang Hao and Zhe Yuxun rushed to Luzhou non-stop after attending Yang Chongxun's funeral, so they were a few days late and missed the most magnificent moment. However, arriving late also has the advantage of being late. Although the living Buddha at that time had great prestige and influence among the believers, the entire Esoteric Buddhism was like the various ministries of Tubo, ranging from thousands of tents to hundreds of tents. Not following each other, coupled with the poverty of the Western Regions and endless wars, the life of the living Buddhas is not as comfortable as that of the living Buddhas of later generations. When they arrived in Luzhou, they couldn't help being envious when they saw the towering pagoda, the magnificent Buddhist temple, and the miraculous movable type printing machine.The ruler needs the support of the living Buddha, and the living Buddha also needs the support of the ruler. Yang Hao provided a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources for the Kaibao Temple, which made the status of the Dacuo Living Buddha even more lofty among the living Buddhas in the Western Regions. The efficient translation and the ability to print scriptures made them even more fascinated. Once these living Buddhas read the Buddhist scriptures, once they have any comprehension or understanding, they can only pass it on orally. Carving a set of printing plates is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the resources used are huge. It is made into a book and broadcast among believers, and Luzhou has this ability, allowing Living Buddha Dacuo to spread his teachings quickly through translation and printing of scriptures.In this way, the right to speak can be concentrated in the hands of Dacuo to a great extent. How can they not be envious? When Yang Hao and Zhe Yuxun came together to congratulate the living Buddha Dacuo, they even promoted Dacuo to a very high position. Li Guangrui was replaced by Li Guangrui, who became the representative of the rejuvenation of the Tuoba clan in Xiazhou. These two figures paid such respect to the living Buddha Dacuo, and Dacuo's influence in the Western Regions will inevitably expand further, and he will become the leader above all living Buddhas. Great Living Buddha, that is not a difficult thing. Therefore, when Yang Hao arrived in Luzhou, it was the time when the living Buddhas from all walks of life were moved by it. They invited Yang Hao and Zhe Yuxun one after another, and it was obvious that they became close. Yang Hao also intends to make friends with these living Buddhas, whether they are in his territory or in Tubo and Huihe, keeping a proper closeness to them will allow Dacuo Living Buddha to maintain a sense of crisis and give him more support and cooperation. At the same time, it can also avoid letting Dacuo Living Buddha's family dominate, so as not to lose the tail.Yang Hao didn't intend to break his promise when he promised Dacuo Living Buddha. He really wanted to make Dacuo the top living Buddha in the Western Regions. A channel of direct communication with the Yang regime in Xiazhou, so that the initiative can be in his hands. At the same time, Yang Hao now urgently needs the support and cooperation of living Buddhas from all walks of life, so that he can quickly digest and stabilize the territories he occupies and the people in these territories, and help him implement the New Deal. For thousands of years in the Western Regions, no matter who is in charge, they have adopted indirect control methods over all tribes. The person who is known as the Lord of the Western Regions has no right to implement vertical and direct management of the territories and people under his jurisdiction. Instead, it must pass through the chieftain, headman, and patriarch of the tribe.Taxes should be paid in the form of tribute through them, people should be able to manage indirectly through them, and when it is necessary to fight foreign enemies, they must be used to recruit and use soldiers.This also determines the limitations of the supreme ruler's power and the instability of the regime. Yang Hao wanted to spread the Yinzhou model throughout the Western Regions, establish a unified household loan management system, enlist all the people, formulate taxes, and independently formulate judiciary. These are the foundations for establishing a feudal regime that is more advanced than the previous management model. But it is very difficult to implement these systems.The rapid implementation of Yinzhou is mainly due to the fact that the original power structure has been broken by the war there, and the local tribes are not strong. In addition, he has used tough methods to massacre tribes with unruly intentions. , which succeeds. However, it is much more difficult to implement these policies in the entire area controlled by him. Doing so will directly weaken the power of the tribal leaders, chieftains, and patriarchs. Those who do, will inevitably have resistance to this. Yang Hao does not intend to enforce these systems by force. If he does so, he will rise like a comet and leave like a comet. He will become Wang Mang's second in the Great Leap Forward. end. He wants to first develop industry and commerce and prosper the economy; use his unique identity to promote Han and Qiang mixed living, intermarriage, build more cities, and promote the integration of various ethnic groups; at the same time, develop farming in areas with suitable climate and geography. At that time, first lay the economic foundation for these policies, and then follow a logical path, starting from places with the least resistance, such as cities, and gradually implementing them from point to point. But even so, I am afraid that the resistance from the chieftains of the various ministries will still not be small, and things that are submissive and submissive will definitely happen.In this way, the religious leaders who can compete with the tribal leaders will play a big role. These policies will strengthen his regime and weaken the power of the chieftains of the tribes, but they will not affect the teaching power of the living Buddhas. With their support, his regime will forcefully promote it from top to bottom, and the lamas whose influence penetrates into every tent and every person will be promoted horizontally, and the hope of success will be greatly increased. Therefore, no matter how busy Yang Hao was, he did not dare to neglect these living Buddhas. He spared no effort in receiving and visiting them every day, presenting scriptures and promising support. Those living Buddhas naturally praised Yang Hao for being so courteous and enthusiastic to them. After all, Yang Hao's identity as "Gangjin Gongbao" has been confirmed and strengthened again. Through the propaganda of these living Buddhas, it is impossible for Dacuo Living Buddha, who was the first to recognize his status as the protector of the Dharma King, to deny his identity. , Yang Hao's influence has directly penetrated into the hearts of every Buddhist.
A few days later, it was easier for Yang Hao to greet and send him to the reception and entertainment. He is a powerful party that these living Buddhas want to make friends with. This first meeting has to be done by himself no matter what. After understanding each other's attitudes, Now that they have become friends with each other, their eldest brother Chengzong can freely come forward to associate with them in the future. For Ding Chengzong, who is good at dancing, this is exactly his advantage. After a little leisure time, Yang Hao took the time to go with the dog to visit the Jinshi who he had rescued.Yang Hao is now more powerful, and what he urgently needs is management talents. Fan Siqi, a scholar, can be entrusted with important tasks by him after a lot of training. He won the Jinshi examination but did not become an official, but retired to the mountains and forests to continue his research. For such a character, even if there is no such relationship as a dog, he still needs to meet him. At this time, Zhong Fang's injury has recovered, and he is busy compiling and proofreading his father's life's poetry and literature, so that he can print it into a book and pass it on to future generations.Seeing his benefactor Ma Yi and Marshal Ma of Hexi Longyou Army visit, Zhong Fang hastily put down his pen to welcome them.He is a Jinshi who has participated in the establishment of the palace. Although he has never been an official, he is someone who even the emperor has seen. Yang Hao left a good impression. At first, Yang Hao was worried that he was a nerd who only knew about research and learning, so he intentionally tested it in his conversation, and Zhong Fang said it casually. Only then did Yang Hao realize that this Jinshi Zhong not only had unique insights in politics, government affairs, and economics, but also had unique insights into military affairs. On the other hand, it is also an outline and a strategic plan.Many opinions and opinions coincide with the policies I have experienced and are planning to implement after weighing it over and over again. I can't help being surprised and thinking. One can see the whole leopard at a glance, if this kind of Fang is not Zhao Kuo who can only talk about it, then his knowledge, knowledge, and strategy in his chest should be better than those capable of governing the world like Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan. , compared with Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan, this person is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. Now Yang Hao has many generals who are good at fighting. Although he is not as good as Ruyun, the famous general of Song Dynasty, but with Yang Jiye and Zhang Pu, he has at least two handsome talents under his command.But in terms of martial arts, only the eldest brother Ding Chengzong, Xu Xuan, and Xiao Yan are supported. Among the three, although Ding Chengzong is thoughtful and resourceful, his structure is still too small. As for Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan, after such a period of time, Yang Hao has begun to realize that the two of them can be regarded as ministers of success. If the country is set, let them govern the world step by step and follow the rules. After all, they are still inferior in the world. Among their civil servants, there is always a lack of one who can assist the lord, manage yin and yang, obey the four seasons, and make everything suitable. The ministers of the Qing Dynasty are the prime ministers who have their own positions. Seeing this kind of release now, Yang Hao couldn't help feeling like he had found a treasure, and immediately became interested in attracting him.It's not that he doesn't want to be an official, it's just that he thought of his father's will to abandon his official position and return to his hometown to study knowledge. Only when it is applied can it be meaningful to learn. Mr. is now in his prime of life, do you have to learn to be full of gray hair before you come to govern the country? Monks practice hard for the purpose of being born into the world. Even so, there is a way to practice in the world. What's more, what Mr. has learned is for entering the world.Which of the great Confucianists in ancient times didn't use what he learned all over the world, and that's how he left his name in history?If the husband becomes an official, can't he study knowledge?In my opinion, it is difficult to prove whether the knowledge learned can be applied behind closed doors.It's better to govern one side, to be successful in career, to study well, and to improve naturally. " Seeing that Yang Hao attached great importance to the scholar she rescued, Gou'er naturally wanted to speak up, so Zhong Fang was a little moved.Yang Hao struck while the iron was hot again, soliciting again and again, Zhong Fang finally agreed.Yang Hao won another talent, so he was naturally overjoyed.In the next few days, I often drink tea and chat with Zhong Fang. His knowledge is naturally not as good as Zhong Fang's erudite Confucian. However, Zhong Fang did not dare to take this Marshal Yang lightly. At this time, two news came one after another. The first news was that Li Pilu, the governor of Suizhou, and Li Jiyun, who had defected to Suizhou, were assassinated at the same time. Yipin bow.Li Pilu's youngest son, Li Twelve, was supported by the three armies and inherited the position of governor. At the same time, he wrote to the court with the governors of Jingzhou and Youzhou. Yang Hao was surprised when he heard this, and the second news came again, which was that his adoptive father, Li Guangcen, was seriously ill, and he was asked to rush to Xiazhou to preside over the overall situation.After Yang Hao got the news, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he and Zhe Yuxun immediately set off on the road and rushed to Xiazhou under the stars and the moon. The sound of horseshoes was loud, passing the Shizhou pass that had already fallen into the hands of Yang Hao, and still galloping all the way west, Zhe Yuxun gasped and said: "Li Jijun and Li Pilu died under the bow of the first grade at the same time. I think this matter is too strange, but it's a pity that Mr. Li can't delay here, or else I should really check it out." Yang Hao hurriedly said, "I've thought about this too. Since you and I have made up our minds to fix the fundamentals first, let Suizhou make trouble for now. Let's stay the same." He smiled coldly, and said again: "Then Li Twelve is eleven this year? Hey! This kid's name is good. In my opinion, I'm afraid he will only live to be twelve years old in this life." Zhe Yuxun's expression changed, and he asked: "You mean?" Yang Hao didn't answer, but anxiously glanced at the vast night in front of him, and said worriedly: "What I'm most worried about now is... I'm afraid that my adoptive father really won't be able to survive this..."
