Seeing Chen Cheng angry, Zhi Qian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, "Go to the Western Regions to plant cotton" He also knew, so he immediately said: "General, Buddhism can dissolve anger and stabilize people's hearts!" ”

Chen Cheng didn't need to rely on Buddhism to paralyze the lower-class people, he said expressionlessly: "Give you one last chance to convince me not to arrest you all." ”

Zhiqian is a virtuous monk, at least he thinks so. The Dharma is superb and the eloquence is unhindered, which is also what he thinks. With so many advantages, he is still in a cold sweat. Because the general Chen Cheng has always been true to his word, and he does what he says, which is different from Buddhism who likes to rely on eloquence to subdue others.

If you can't find a reason to convince the general now, you will really be sent to the Western Regions to grow cotton. Although it is said that there are people in Buddhism who seek the Dharma through penance, he is not from that school. Even if cotton is planted well, what good is it for the spread of Buddhism?

So, the question is, how to convince the general?

Convince a person that the Heavenly Demon Bliss Gong ......... cough, the best way to persuade a person is to start from the other party's preferences, weaknesses, etc., the general seized Liangzhou and Guanzhong by force, and what he likes is naturally to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and expand the territory, but these are contrary to Buddhism!

The clothes on Zhiqian's back were wet with sweat, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Even though he practiced the Dharma diligently, he was helpless now. After a while, Chen Cheng said leisurely: "If you don't say it again, I will give up answering." ”

"General, Buddhism is boundless, take refuge in my Buddha, and there will be good fortune in the future!"

Chen Cheng smiled dumbly, and returned the blessings? Isn't it going to be 9......... He shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I gave you a chance, but you didn't take advantage of it. Pack up, you're going to the Western Regions. ”

He stood up and walked outside. In the process of waiting for the answer just now, Chen Cheng had already thought very clearly that for ancient China, the introduction of Buddhism could be regarded as expanding the width and depth of Chinese culture, and causing a certain degree of impact on the original culture.

But the science he brought with him was a system that was several generations more advanced than Buddhism, and it was more than enough to replace Buddhism. Since the Buddha could not appear in front of himself, he naturally did not exist.

Seeing Chen Cheng walking out, Zhi Qian hurriedly followed and shouted, "General, please stay!" ”

Chen Cheng paused and asked, "What else do you say?" ”

Zhi Qian hurriedly said: "There are many Buddhist believers in Xuzhou and Jiangdong, can't this make the general raise his noble hand to us?" ”

"You mean spy?" Chen Cheng didn't look back and said, "If you don't die in three years, I can give you another chance to convince me." ”

With that, he had already stepped out of the courtyard with his feet raised. Behind Chen Cheng, Zhi Qian sat down on the ground dejectedly, reciting the Buddha's name in his mouth. The fat monks on the side rushed up together and asked, "Master, what should we do now?" ”

Zhiqian didn't answer, but kept chanting Buddhist scriptures.

A monk hurriedly said: "Even if you are a general, you can't be so unreasonable, right?" We haven't broken the law, so why should we be arrested and sent to the Western Regions? ”

"Yes, is there any royal law here? Is there any law left? ”

"Immediately ask Wang Situ and them to speak for us! Although the general is in a high position, he can't help but give Wang Situ face! ”

While everyone was gossiping, neat footsteps sounded outside. In the sound of steel clashing, someone shouted an order, "Stand! Turn left! ”

"Ahh

The fat monk guarding the door broke into the backyard and shouted, "Master, it's not good, there are officers and soldiers coming!" ”

The wolf-like forbidden army kicked open the gate and rushed in with a bright sword and gun. A captain strode up to the door and shouted: "The Ministry of Rites has ordered that you believe in the god Hu, do not produce, demagogue, and be sentenced to exile in the Western Regions!" Several, let's go on the road to the Western Regions! ”

"Buddha enemy! This is the enemy of the Buddha! If the general is an enemy of the Buddha, isn't he afraid that he will fall into hell after death and never be reborn? ”

The captain's face changed, and he suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and slashed at the face of the screaming monk. Blood burst out, and the monk fell to the ground screaming. The other monks who were gossiping and abusing suddenly fell silent, looking at each other's blood-stained steel knives in horror, and they all fell silent.

"You dare to be disrespectful to the lord!" The captain sneered and said murderously: "Only the lord is the real god, and your Hu God is just a false god!" If you dare to make noise, you will be killed as if you resist arrest! ”

Zhi Qian stood up and said calmly: "You are wrong, only the Buddha is the only god in the world. The general only has some supernatural powers at most, how can he be a true god? ”

The captain narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Monk, you are very bold!" ”

Zhi Qian smiled: "It's not that I'm bold, but the general told me not long ago that he would ask me the same question again in three years." So I think that until then, the life of the poor monk will probably be able to survive. ”

The captain stared at Zhi Qian for a long time, then "snorted" and said to the soldiers on the side: "Arrest these people and take them away!" ”

The soldier next to him asked, "What about the one on the ground?" ”

The captain said casually: "The armed resistant on the ground has been killed by me on the spot!" and hang his body outside the city for a day. Let everyone in Guanzhong see what will happen if you believe in false gods! ”

Buddhism, which had just gained a foothold in Chang'an, was uprooted, and the imperial court issued a proclamation declaring Buddhism a cult, organizing missionaries to behead, and exiled believers to the Western Regions. Many Guanzhong people who were once interested in Buddhism immediately drew a line with it, and although the gods of the Hu people were somewhat exotic, since the imperial court had declared it illegal, they naturally did not dare to lean on it anymore.

Even if there are people who really believe in the Buddha, they don't dare to show it in public.

The weather was already getting colder, and it was about to snow, and the farmers and herders were already stockpiling up supplies for the winter as much as possible, and no one cared about what the bald monks were doing. Occasionally, someone is talking about it inadvertently, and the listener has to think for a while before he can remember that there was indeed such a group of people in Chang'an City.

Then, the snow poured down, turning the ground white. Outdoor production has almost completely stopped, and even in the heaviest mines, the slave laborers can breathe a little bit and have much less work to do each day.

The reason for this is not because the mine owners have changed their hearts for the better, but because it is not worth the loss to force the slaves to work in the cold. Now it costs dozens of dollars to buy a young slave, and if you die, it will be a great loss. Now the imperial court has ordered all localities not to sell Han people as slaves, and those who violate the order will die, and the whole family will be exiled to the Western Regions. In addition, growing cotton in the Western Regions also required a large number of manpower, so the price of slaves was even more expensive.

Outdoor production activities have stopped, but indoor production activities have continued. Whether it is the blacksmith shop outside the city or the textile factory that has just been built, it is still operating normally. In the winter, the factory is open for a longer period of time than in the summer.

Although the silk in Guanzhong is not as famous as Shuzhong, the output has always been a lot. After the low-end market was occupied by linen and wool cloth produced in Liangzhou, only silk was left as the pillar industry in Guanzhong. However, the quality and output of silk in Guanzhong are not as good as those in Shuzhong next door, so Chen Cheng had to roll up his sleeves and rely on the way of hanging to enhance his own strength and defeat the silk industry in Shuzhong by the way.

However, even if Chen Cheng can open the hanging, it will not have an obvious effect on the silk industry in a short period of time. Although the improvement of machinery can improve production efficiency, the selection and breeding of silkworm seeds is a long-term process. Without the accumulation of three or five or seven years, it will probably have to be suppressed by Shuzhong all the time.

Just like the cotton textile industry, Chen Cheng had already planted cotton near Yinchuan after defeating the Huns, but it was not until this year that a relatively stable seed was selected, and then it was promoted on a large scale in the Western Regions. Compared with the first generation of seeds he brought with him, the cotton yield has dropped a lot, and the insect control effect is gone.

I don't know if it's because the original world seed company is too powerful, or because those cotton seeds are not adapted to the soil and water in this world and are seriously degraded. Don't think about 400 kilograms per mu, it is a fluke to be able to keep it at 400 kilograms per mu. Rao is so, such a high yield, can completely replace linen.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, this is the most basic elements of human survival, there is no way to speculate in real estate in this era, and cotton cloth is the most profitable industry. In Chen Cheng's mind, this is something more important than mining silver mines.

When it snows, the whole world seems to be cleared up all at once. It's not impossible to fight in the winter, but that's what the most elite troops can do. Even the Xianbei people in Mobei are reluctant to come out to activities in this environment.

The war that had been burning for a whole year was temporarily stopped, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Shu, Zhao Yun and Yu Fuluo brothers in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Hebei, Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Liu Miao and Yan Baihu in Jiangdong, etc., even if the princes' thoughts of annexing the world were hotter than flames, but in the weather that dripped into ice, they could only let the soldiers under their command stop and take a breath.

Not long after Zhao Yun led his troops into Hedong, the weather had turned cold, so he stationed his troops in Puban and Jiexian County, preparing to wait until next year's spring to bloom, and then lead his troops to attack the Huns. For the court's trick of "fake way to cut down", Yang Feng saw it clearly, and hated it so much that his teeth itched.

He also sent his soldiers and horses to attack the tooth soldiers led by Zhao Yun, but they were defeated without any suspense. After that, Yang Feng sent someone to explain to Zhao Yun that someone had acted without authorization, and at the same time, he moved to annex the disabled Baibo army.

If you win the battle to go to the foreign enemy, and if you lose the battle, you will remove the internal troubles, this kind of trick is not only Chen Cheng will use!

But Yang Feng was not happy at all, of course it was good to annex some of the Baibo army, but the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already occupied Hedong and could not leave, what should I do in the future? At this time, he began to miss Dong Zhuo a little again.

When Dong Zhongying was there, although there was all kinds of oppression on the Bai Bo army, when Ding Yuanjun came over, Mr. Dong would still send troops to the rescue. But now that Taiyuan has been replaced by the Huns, who can he find to rescue? Dong Zhuo's head has been sent to Chang'an, and even if he can return to Hedong again, he probably won't be able to find his body.
