Zuo Shaoyang asked Da Longxin: "This time, how many cattle and sheep are left after killing and boiling meat for the people yesterday?" ”

"There are more than 400 cows, 500 horses, and 600 sheep. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How many families can these animals feed when they are distributed to the people?"

"Twenty or thirty."

"That is, only enough to feed one or two hundred people?"

"Yes."

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head: "It's a drop in the bucket." What to do? ”

Paga said: "The Dharma King, no matter where the head is, there are many poor people under his command, and the well-meaning head man is very generous when he gives a little bit of money during the New Year's holidays, and he does not donate all his family wealth to the people. So His Holiness doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. ”

"No way!" Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "It's just that I don't want to be your head, since I am your head, I have to take care of it, and I must let everyone be fed, clothed, and warm!" ”

Qi Zhu said: "The Dharma King is the Dharma King of our Jerjiao religion, and he only needs to discipline us." Let's teach these dozens of people how to be fed and clothed. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I know, you don't want to share my property with everyone, to tell you the truth, I am a person who has died once, and I will earn a day if I live, so I don't care about anything, especially money, my parents and family, there are real estate, fields, and sales, and I can't be hungry or frozen, so don't worry, I have money worth 100,000 taels of silver, and I want to use it to buy cattle and sheep and distribute it to everyone." Although I have no obligation to take care of the people of Mandala, I am only the Dharma King of the Jerjiao religion, but I can't bear to see them suffering. ”

Paga muttered: "How can there be so many poor people in the world?" Besides, how can anyone give so much money for nothing? No matter how generous the rich man is, he has never been. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "My money didn't fall from the sky, of course I can't give it to people for nothing, I just temporarily sold the cattle and sheep to them on credit without interest, and repaired their houses to live in, and I lent them these money, and I will return it to me when they have money in the future." ”

"On credit?" The two elders and the four guards looked at each other, "Will they be able to pay back the Dharma King in the future?" ”

"There will be, sooner or later, it's all interestless, or that sentence, I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, I must use money to make money, I can't let the hundreds of thousands of silver in my hand be idle, I must take out money to help them get rich, develop the economy of our mandala, open a handicraft industry, vigorously develop animal husbandry, create a tertiary industry, multi-pronged, our mandala is too small, just internal tossing can't work, to earn money from other countries, this depends on our handicrafts, we brought two hundred craftsmen are not vegetarians. They're going to be able to do great! After a few years, when they get rich, they will be able to pay me back. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said this, some words could not be spoken in Tibetan, so he said it directly in Chinese, and the six people who listened to it were in a fog, but they always felt that they would invest more than 100,000 taels in the mandala at once, and they were afraid that the Dharma King would lose all his money at that time.

Zuo Shaoyang was confident, anyway, the money was also obtained from Du Jing, even if he lost it, he didn't feel very distressed, and waved his hand at the moment and said: "Okay, you listen to me, let's set off to Zhangxiong today, sell the jewelry, buy cattle and sheep and drive them back to distribute to the people." How many cattle and sheep can you buy with 100,000 taels of silver? Zuo Shaoyang looked at the right elder Dachi, "You've been in the mandala, you know?" ”

Da Equator: "There are only 1,000 households in the mandala, and generally speaking, a family of five is enough for 30 cows, 100 sheep, and 2 horses. It cost about forty taels of silver. Forty thousand taels of silver is enough for a thousand households. It doesn't cost 100,000 taels. ”

"Really? Oh, that's good, and I saved half of it. That's it, where to buy? ”

"It is this problem," Da Equator, "to ask for 30,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, 2,000 horses, such a large number, even if we go to our Xiangxiong Qionglong Silver City, we can't buy it." ”

"Won't it?"

"The people's cattle and sheep are generally not sold out, even if they want to sell them to make money to buy salt and tea, etc., it is only a cow, and it is impossible to sell so many sheep like this. And it is sold during the slaughtering season all year round, and it is not usually sold. ”

"When is slaughter season?"

"It's usually November, it's already over."

"How much can you buy? It's better to buy some of it first. ”

"I think it's good to be able to sell 100 cows and 500 sheep."

"What can you do, it's only enough for three or four."

Da Long smiled bitterly: "Dharma King, the people of our Western Regions are relatively poor, there are generally not many cattle and sheep, and they rely on cattle and sheep to support their families. So they don't want to sell. ”

"Zhangxiong can't do it, what about Tibet? What about the sheep? No, there are also mud boras and Tianzhu in the south! ”

"Nibora and Tianzhu are poorer than us. Don't even expect to be able to buy it. ”

Zuo Shaoyang was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that he couldn't buy cattle and sheep when he came here with a bunch of jewelry.

When the entire Western Regions is generally poor, it is difficult to buy cattle and sheep, but he does not believe in evil, thinks about it, and says: "Then let's go separately, each person goes to one place, buys a few hundred heads in one place, and slowly accumulates, isn't it okay!" I don't believe that money can't buy cattle and sheep! ”

Dalongxin said: "I really want to buy it, it can be bought, it's nothing more than giving more money, spending more time and running more, but everyone thinks that the money is your own, and you take out half of it to donate it to the people of Mandala, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"What's out of place? My money I love to give to whom! ”

"But after all, it's your hard-earned money, what good will it do you to share it with everyone?"

Zuo Shaoyang asked: "Let me ask you, what is my status in the minds of the people of Mandala?" ”

"You are God, and all the people of the city worship you."

"That's it, since I am a god, I deserve benefits by believing in me, if I don't give them some benefits, what will I do by believing in me?"

"Eliminate disasters and solve problems, not cattle and sheep."

"Isn't it good to have cattle and sheep?"

"This, hehe, that's naturally a greater good."

"Isn't that the end of it!" Zuo Shaoyang said: "Okay, sell the jewelry and buy cattle and sheep separately!" ”

Since His Holiness has made up his mind, everyone has nothing to say. On the same day, Zuo Shaoyang took Da Long Xin, under the protection of the escort team sent by the Domi Kingdom, and re-headed to Zhangxiong Qionglong Silver City.

King Zhangzhung is still a very knowledgeable person, and he does not dare to lower the price of the French king, Zuo Shaoyang sold all the remaining nine jewels to King Zhangxiong, for a total of 160,000 taels of silver. Zuo Shaoyang took out 100,000 taels of silver and distributed them to the elders and the Dharma Protector, and gave them a few taels of silver to wrap around, and asked them to take people to neighboring countries and tribes to buy cattle and sheep. All the money to buy cattle and sheep, the more the merrier. The remaining more than 20,000 taels of silver were used to build the houses of the mandala, including various shops.

Zuo Shaoyang has asked the altar owner and his subordinates to talk about their ideas from house to house in the city, sending cattle and sheep without interest, helping to build houses without interest, and paying back if there is money in the future, and pulling it down if there is no money.

At this time, the entire mandala was shouting, and the people were grateful to Zuo Shaoyang. I swore that if I had money, I would return it to His Holiness first.

For the handicraft and service industries, mainly relying on the two hundred craftsmen and slaves of all kinds brought by Zuo Shaoyang, Zuo Shaoyang invested a large amount of money, and handicraft workshops and various shops were quickly built.

The craftsmen brought from Misang can finally play a role, and with the support of Zuo Shaoyang's large amount of silver, the craftsmen's business is also good.

These craftsmen were all from the Tang Dynasty, and the handicraft industry of the Tang Dynasty was far ahead of the Western Regions at that time, so the handicrafts made were very popular.

Zuo Shaoyang immediately spent money to set up a special marketing team to sell handicrafts everywhere, these products are very popular, very popular, not only best-selling Zhangxiong, but also exported to Yangtong, Tubo, Niboluo, Tianzhu and other places. Gangren Buche's reputation for handmade products quickly became famous.

Da Longxin and they also fully implemented Zuo Shaoyang's intentions, and the prices of the cattle and sheep they bought were relatively favorable, so they were willing to sell. The cattle and sheep were sent back to the mandala one after another.

Zuo Shaoyang compiled a roster with the altar owner, starting from the poorest families to sell cattle and sheep on credit, with six cows and twenty sheep per person, and a horse on standard credit. Zuo Shaoyang didn't even sign a contract with them, so he thought about paying it back, and if he didn't pay it back, he would pull it down.

In the hearts of the people of the mandala, they were even more moved by the fact that the Dharma King was not able to write an IOU, but they all thought from the bottom of their hearts that the Dharma King was a god and could not be deceived, so they all secretly made up their minds that once they had money, the first one would be returned to the Dharma King, and they would not dare to deceive them in terms of number.

Every household has cattle and sheep, shops and residences, and this Tibetan New Year is particularly comfortable. I can't thank Zuo Shaoyang enough.

On the Tibetan New Year, Zuo Shaoyang took his two daughters, as well as the altar owner and several elders to protect the Dharma, and went door-to-door to greet the New Year and congratulate the New Year. They all packed up the tents and kowtowed to Zuo Shaoyang and their arrival. At this time, the people of the city did not fail to say that Zuo Shaoyang, the new king, was good. In the past, I was grateful to get his credit to survive the harsh winter, but now I am even more touched by the respect of his personality. This feeling is deeper.

Now, as long as Zuo Shaoyang ascends to the heights and shouts, the people of the whole city will follow him into battle desperately.

Of course, Zuo Shaoyang did not do this for this purpose. He just wanted to make himself, the Dharma King, not in vain, and really do something for the people who believed in him.

After the beginning of spring, Zuo Shaoyang took out some money to build houses and sold them on credit to the people who did not have houses. It also made the people grateful. In addition, he took out a sum of money and began to work on the construction of the temple of the Gyal.

This is unprecedented. Because Bon did not have a temple at this time, the monastic was in a cave or at home. There is no dedicated dojo.

There are a considerable number of builders among the craftsmen brought by Zuo Shaoyang, many of whom have participated in the construction of the temple, with their help, Zuo Shaoyang designed a temple, because it has just begun, and there are not many monks, at this time there are many places to use money, and the believers have not yet accepted this new thing, so he did not invest too much money in the temple. First build a main hall and a few monks' houses, as well as the courtyard wall, and that's it. The temple was built on a small peak at the foot of the sacred mountain of Gangren Buche.

Under the injection of tens of thousands of taels of silver from Zuo Shaoyang, under the command of his modern mind, the entire mandala economy has developed by leaps and bounds. A good surname cycle has been formed: the people have cattle and sheep, they can milk cows and shear sheep, they can also kill cattle and sheep and sell them for money, and they can buy craftsmen's handicrafts with money. Mandala taxation increased substantially. There is also money to build municipal facilities, and the mandala is also neat and clean, attracting more people to join the mandala, settle down here, and operate and earn.

An important reason for the attractiveness of the mandala is Zuo Shaoyang's superb medical skills. In the eyes of the believers, this has become a clever spell, so the news that Gangren Buche has a powerful magic king has flown all over the Western Regions like wings.

And people want to be protected by a powerful power, especially if it comes from God.

Therefore, most of the people who migrate to Mandala from all over the world are coming for this magical power, and of course, the rich life here is also very attractive.

Zuo Shaoyang invested money to build the Gyer Temple, and when the temple was built, the young and strong laborers of the whole city came out with dry food to help, so the construction speed was very fast, and the entire temple was completed in less than a month. It was named Jör Temple.

There is a small courtyard in the temple that is specially for the Fawang family to live in, and Zuo Shaoyang moved in here with two concubines and ten charming singers. The temple also has a meditation room for elders and Dharma protectors, and Darongxin and Mei Duo have never lived in their own temple, and they are very surprised.

When the construction was in full swing, Zuo Shaoyang received the first wave of distinguished guests in the just-completed Jair Temple. It was a distinguished guest accompanied by the Prime Minister of Xiangxiong Kingdom, and this distinguished guest came from Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, thousands of miles away!

Zuo Shaoyang immediately had a premonition that something was about to happen.

This father-in-law handed over a letter from Li Shimin to Zuo Shaoyang! Emperor Li Shimin did not use the holy decree to give an order, but used the gentle way of letters, which made Zuo Shaoyang feel that Emperor Li Shimin had already used the last method, and what the emperor asked him in the letter must be a very, very important thing for the emperor.

This is a secret letter, Zuo Shaoyang cut it with a knife, took out the gold letter and read it, as expected! - Empress Eldest Sun is critically ill!

Zuo Shaoyang had read a lot of history books before, and knew that Emperor Li Shimin loved the eldest grandson empress to the point of no return. After the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin did two unprecedented things to express his sorrow over the death of his beloved wife. One is to build a house in the Yuan Palace where the eldest grandson queen is buried, and order the palace people to live in it and serve the queen like the living. At the same time, he also built a tall building in the palace, and finally stayed on the tall building, looking at the place where his deceased wife was buried.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "the husband does not sacrifice his wife", and he should not be the emperor as an emperor, this practice was discussed by the ministers, but he cried to the ministers that since the death of his beloved wife, he "was in a trance, when the food forgot to taste, and the midnight was wasted." and personally raised Empress Changsun's girlfriend, Princess Jinyang, and her youngest son Li Zhi. The loving husband and wife of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, whether it is the official official history or the folk history, have a completely positive attitude.
