MTL - The Alternate World Is Too Dangerous: I Hide In Reality And Rule!-Chapter 220 The figure of the third pawnshop
Chapter 220 The figure of the third pawnshop
A video appeared in Lin Ye's mind.
Night!
Han, Beidi County, Taishoufu.
A middle-aged official was looking at the bright moon in the backyard with a sad face.
I think of him, Chen Qian, who is talented, but because of his humble background, he was squeezed out by that famous family in the imperial court, and was finally relegated to a bitter and cold frontier like Beidi County.
Even so, Chen Qian still never admit defeat, he is confident that he can run Beidi County well.
But after three years, his self-confidence was gradually eroded.
The people in the north just cannot understand the language, which is a big problem. There are many indigenous forces, and they don't care about the orders of the court at all, and they don't pay much attention to him, the prefect.
If it wasn't because this is a frontier, with troops stationed here, I'm afraid he would be in danger of his life when he left the prefect's mansion.
Full of talent, but no place to display it.
"Chen Jun can't sleep at night, could it be that there is something distressing?"
A scholar in a green robe walked in. Chen Qian smiled wryly when he saw this moment: "Mr. Liao, I have been the prefect of Beidi County for three years, but I have made no achievements. I feel depressed."
"It was precisely because he knew Chen Jun was depressed that Liao came here on purpose to give Chen Jun a solution to his depression."
"What's the trick, sir?"
"When I was studying abroad, I met people from the Western Regions. I learned from the population that there is a sect in the Western Regions. There are many believers. Everyone in the Western Regions believes in this religion. The words of the leader of the religion are regarded as oracles. If Chen Jun can introduce this religion, let him He preached in the north, so that the people in the north believe in this religion, and the indigenous leaders are no longer a problem."
Hearing Mr. Liao's words, Chen Qian's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Then please invite the missionary for me, sir."
"I should serve the king."
…
…
A month later, Chen Qian met a missionary from the Western Regions in the prefect's mansion. There were people in the north engaged in business with the Western Regions, and there were people who understood the language of the Western Regions. Chen Qian asked him to translate what the missionary said and record it in a book. .
After reading the scriptures taught by the missionaries, Chen Qian was greatly shocked, and he was sure that this was the good recipe he wanted to rule the Northland.
Chen Qian spent five years cultivating a group of Buddhist disciples, and he himself called himself a big disciple.
He built temples in various places in Beidi County, and arranged for these Buddhist disciples to go to the temple to chant scriptures, chant Buddhist scriptures and promote Buddhism. However, there were very few believers in a year, and not many people came to the temple.
Just as he hesitated, Mr. Liao gave him another trick.
"When the yamen recruits clerks, Buddhist disciples are given priority."
"All Buddhist disciples can reduce corvee taxes."
"When you enter the temple to listen to the scriptures, you can receive millet."
As soon as these three announcements came out, many people in the North flocked to the temple. Let alone the tolerance, but the reduction of corvee and the receipt of millet are the benefits that can be seen.
In just three years, the people in the Northland all regarded themselves as Buddhist believers. The number of temples in the county has also grown from a dozen to hundreds, and almost every village has a temple.
Chen Qian issued a public announcement as the governor of Beidi County. Not many people in Beidi County paid attention to it. However, what he said as a major Buddhist disciple was regarded as an oracle by the people.
After tasting the sweetness, Chen Qian directly asked his subordinates to call himself the Great Disciple of the Dharma Protector of Buddhism. The Taishou Mansion has also become the first holy place of Buddhism. Every abbot of a temple has to come to the Taishou Mansion to report. Chen Qian personally appointed.
Chen Qian's prestige has reached an unprecedented level in Beidi County.
Relying on his status as a great disciple of the Dharma Protector of Buddhism, Chen Qian was finally able to show his talent and began to use the mouth of the Buddha to promulgate some government orders.
However, the good times didn’t last long. Five years later, the imperial court received a report that Chen Qian, as the prefect, did not preach the power of my great Han country, but preached some Buddhism.
The imperial court was furious after hearing the news, and ordered Chen Qian to return to the capital to explain clearly.
Inside the prefect's mansion.
Chen Qian and the doorman, Mr. Liao, were in the yard again.
"Chen Jun, you can't go back. The reason why the imperial court asked you to return to the capital is that if you are directly ordered to arrest you, there will be a rebellion in the North."
"I also know what the master said, but the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Besides, there are strong enemies outside the northern land, and there are troops stationed there. If I don't go back to the capital, I'm afraid the next time the imperial edict from the capital will make me The official directly fell to the ground."
"Mr. Chen please look!"
Mr. Liao took out a bamboo slip, and Chen Qian glanced at it with a shocked expression: "Sir, what is this?"
"These are Buddhist believers in the garrison army. I have secretly developed them over the past few years. I can guarantee their loyalty to Mr. Chen."
"Sir, you are trying to make me raise an army... It's not right, it's absolutely not right."
Chen Qian shook his head, even with this defender, he could not be the opponent of the court army, not to mention the foreign enemies who were eyeing him.
"Chen Jun, of course we can't rebel, but if the court can know the role of Chen Jun and know that no one can keep Beidi County safe except Chen Jun, I will bring some gold and silver to the capital to operate it. Then the court will naturally not touch Chen Jun again."
"How do you let the court know that Beidi can't lose this official?"
"Let the tiger out!"
…
That night, Chen Qian sat alone in the backyard, thinking a lot in his mind.
Thinking that he was excluded in the court.
Thinking that he was relegated to the desolate place of the Northland, but those sons of famous families were able to step up to high positions in the temple step by step in the capital.
Thinking of the Buddhism he introduced with great painstaking efforts.
Thinking that under his rule in the Northland, the lives of the people are getting better and better.
…
the next day!
The people of Beidi County were shocked by a piece of news.
The frontier was lost, foreign enemies invaded, wantonly plundered and slaughtered the people, and the people hid in the county town one after another.
Chen Qian ordered the closure of the city, and on the third day of the closure, foreign enemies invaded the county and began to attack the city.
The good thing is that Chen Qian has strengthened the city walls several times in these years, and the enemy army has no siege equipment and cannot break through the city. But this time the foreign enemy invaded, and the people in each village brought food into the county as if they had been notified in advance. As a result, these enemy troops failed to grab much food this time.
Did not grab food, the enemy leader was unwilling to retreat and ordered the siege of the city.
This circumference is one month.
Although the enemy army did not grab food, they captured many people and captives. These captives were their food, but there was a shortage of food in the city at the moment.
"Chen Jun, it's time to make a decision!"
In the backyard of the prefect’s mansion, Mr. Liao stood outside the door of the Buddhist hall, looking anxiously at Chen Qian who was kneeling inside. Chen Qian looked up at the largest Buddha statue in Beidi County, and it was made of pure gold, and did not reply for a long time.
"Chen Jun, this is not the time to be soft-hearted. Not to mention your life, the lives of so many people in Beidi County are also in your thoughts."
"You...go to operate."
Finally, Chen Qian's answer came from the hall. Mr. Liao was overjoyed, turned around and hurried out of the prefect's mansion.
An hour later, the people of Beidi County received the Buddha's will from the Buddhist Dharma Protector.
Because the people in Beidi County devoted themselves to the Buddha, the Buddha decided to select a group of believers to go to Xitian Paradise to listen to the Buddha's personal lectures.
As soon as the news came out, the people in the county were very excited, and everyone wanted to listen to the Buddha's lecture, but in the end only a thousand people were selected.
Second month!
Buddha again chooses believers.
In the third month, choose again.
The enemy army outside the city took prisoners for three months, and the people inside the city...
Wait until the fourth month, the enemy finally retreated, because the captives were all eaten up.
Beidi County, defended the siege of the enemy for three months, and none of the people in the city died.
The news spread to the court, and the court was shocked, and Chen Qian's prestige in the North also reached its peak.
"Chen Jun, the court sent you a commendation."
Mr. Liao was holding an imperial edict, but Chen Qian didn't even read it when he took it, and threw it on the ground.
"Chen Jun, you..."
"My official defended the city for three months. This kind of great achievement should have been publicized by the court and widely advertised. It will boost the military prestige of our Han Dynasty and increase the morale of the people in our dynasty. Gao Ge, with just such a piece of imperial edict, I am afraid that the author will not mention this official."
Zhuo Lang is an official in the court who records state affairs.
If it can be included in Zhuo Lang's pen, it means leaving a name in history.
"The court is afraid of me, and I'm afraid it will do everything possible to transfer this official out of the Northland."
"Chen Jun, what should we do?"
"Although the foreign enemies have retreated, there are still small groups of enemy troops fleeing in our Beidi County, plundering the people's food, killing our Beidi people, and letting the soldiers chase down the enemy."
Mr. Liao was stunned. There was no enemy army in Beidi County. This time, the enemy army had been besieged for three months and failed to break through the city. They were short of food for the winter, and most of the army starved to death and froze to death. They might not be able to invade again within ten years. up.
"Where did the enemy come from?"
"I remember that some tribes don't believe in my Buddha yet."
"Liao knows what to do."
"Thanks for your hard work, sir."
When Mr. Liao walked away, Chen Qian looked at the Golden Buddha in front of him with a mocking smile on his face. The next moment, he picked up the hammer and smashed it at the Golden Buddha.
The golden Buddha made of pure gold would not be broken naturally, but it swayed and fell from its expression, and fell to the ground. At this moment, Chen Qian saw those kind eyes as if they were mocking him.
"Since you can't protect your believers, then you don't need a Buddha like you. From now on, I will be a Buddha."
"You are right, since everyone is a Buddha, why can't you be a Buddha?"
A voice sounded behind Chen Qian, Chen Qian turned around and saw a young man in white standing behind him.
"Who are you?"
Chen Qian looked at each other vigilantly.
"I'm here to help you. Don't you want to become a Buddha? I can give you what you need to become a Buddha."
"Something that becomes a Buddha?"
A golden eye appeared on the hand of the man in white.
"Hold it, and you will become a Buddha."
"What do you want me to do?"
Chen Qian could feel the attraction of those golden eyes to him, but he knew better that the other party would not help him for no reason.
"The rule of the third **** shop is that any transaction must be fair to both parties. I will help you become a Buddha, and after you become a Buddha, you have to do one thing for me. Now that you have not become a Buddha, it is useless for me to raise conditions. Wait until you become a Buddha. After you become a Buddha, I will come to you."
The man in white left behind the golden Buddha, and the figure disappeared.
The image Lin Ye saw didn't end, what followed was everything Chen Qian did on his way to becoming a different kind of Buddha.
Reform the doctrine, cast Buddha statues...
Fake death...
"Don't look, maybe you also want to follow the path of another kind of Buddha."
The helpless voice suddenly made Lin Ye walk out of the video, and Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye with a helpless expression.
"Sometimes I think again, is it because of our horoscope, how many times have you broken my deal?"
Lin Ye also looked at Bai Jinye, but his expression was serious: "Why are you doing this?"
"Are you asking me a question, or if you trade with me, I can tell you the answer."
Bai Jinye looked very excited, the corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched slightly: "No, I just asked casually."
"Hey, that really disappointed me." Bai Jinye said with a sad expression, "I really want to find an enemy of yours, and then make a deal with him, kill you, and save you from breaking my deal every time. .”
"I don't have any enemies, I'm afraid you can't find them?"
"No way, with your acting style, it doesn't look like someone who has no enemies."
"My enemies have already been sent to the underworld by me."
Bai Jinye:...
"Okay, that's really a pity, next time I'll show up before you kill your enemy, so it's too late, but it's difficult... Your enemy can afford the price of the deal, or you can give you a tip Lu, take down the laboratory, dominate the world, and kill that scholar in the laboratory first."
"Scholar? Which one are you referring to?"
"Who else is there besides the number one in your laboratory?"
Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye playfully: "I know many of his secrets, maybe one day you will become hostile, do you want to get some information from me?"
"No."
"Then I will suffer a loss. You can ask me three questions, and I will ask you one question. This is a good deal."
"If you allow me to answer freely, I can promise you this deal." Lin Ye replied.
Bai Jinye: "Forget it, forget it, I'll go find the next trader, this golden Buddha's eye is extremely mysterious, take good care of it."
Looking at Bai Jinye's disappearing figure, Lin Ye's expression was extremely dignified. Judging from the several times he broke Bai Jinye's deals, this person was very evil.
He can trade with people like Chen Qian, which shows that in his world view, there may be no justice or evil. All this person cares about is trading.
…
Outside the temple, Wei Yang waited anxiously. He wanted to step into the temple several times, but he held back in the end. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Ye's voice.
"Destroy all these pagodas, and return the head to the villagers of Xun'an Village. Those villagers will remember your facial features."
"I remember." Wei Yang nodded heavily. While waiting in the temple, he purposely replayed the events in the village in his mind, focusing on the names and facial features that the villagers told him.
"Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. After burying them, you can go back. I can go to the maul tribe by myself."
PS: I'm sorry, probably after the eighth day of the first lunar month, the update will restore stability. Jiu Deng would like to apologize to everyone here.
In addition, the end of the month is coming soon. If you have a monthly pass, you can vote for Jiudeng. Thank you very much.
