Chapter 9: The Pure Land
Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, formerly known as Zhao Maid, ascended the throne at the age of 10 and was ruled by Empress Dowager Gao. After Empress Dowager Gao came to power, she appointed Sima Guang as prime minister. In the eighth year of Yuan You (1093 AD), Empress Dowager Gao died, and Song Zhezong was in power. After Zhezong came into power, he stated that he would posthumously belittle Sima Guang, and belittled Su Shi, Su Zhe and other old party members in Lingnan (now Guangxi and Guangdong), and then reused the reformist Zhangdun to restore Wang Anshi's reform of the law of protecting the armor, exempting from military service, and Qingmiao law, etc., to reduce the burden on the peasants and improve the country's situation. In the following year, he changed the Yuan to "Shaosheng", stopped negotiating with the Western Xia, and sent troops to crusade against the Western Xia many times, forcing the Western Xia to beg for peace with the Song Dynasty. In the third year of Yuanfu (1100 AD), he died of illness in Tokyo on the 12th day of the first lunar month (February 23, 1100 in the solar calendar).
Zhao Xu recalls what he learned about his life in the future.
Now that he has implemented everything that Song Zhezong has done in history step by step, he has a headache when he thinks of the short life of this body.
Twenty-five years old, that's too young!
He couldn't do anything for so long, and during this time he strengthened his exercise and often saw the imperial doctor, but he was still frightened and watched him lose weight day by day.
It wasn't until last month that he happened to see something about Dali Duan Yu and Xixia Horse Xuzhu from a twist and turn, and he was shocked that this was the story of Tianlong Babu.
There are a lot of internal skills that can strengthen the body, at least let him live to sixty.
He had already sent the Ouchi master to collect internal strength.
With his confidence boosted, he began to carry out what he had planned all along: to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!
The Great Song Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, and several problems were cause and effect of each other, becoming a vicious circle. The way to break this cycle is to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. As long as the sixteen states of Yanyun are recovered. You can cancel the New Year's coin. To alleviate the embarrassment of the Great Song Dynasty's finances, so that the peasant problem could continue to be alleviated by recruiting soldiers, and the newly acquired Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures could alleviate the problem of land annexation.
In addition, the newly obtained sixteen states of Yanyun also need people to govern, and a large number of officials need to be arranged, which solves the problem of redundant officials.
As for the way to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, there is only one way, to climb the technology tree and let the guns come out.
He was born in the army. I know a lot about ordnance and believe that it can be done with time.
However, in order to prevent the leakage of the design of the firearm, it is also advisable to set up an intelligence department, which can be responsible for the secrecy of the armory yard first. This is his old job, and he must be more handy to do it.

The Pure Land, a beautiful Buddha country far away from the Six Realms. The Bodhisattva made a vow to establish the Pure Land, and when the Pure Land was built, the Bodhisattva became a Buddha.
Every Pure Land has a Buddha.
Or a bodhisattva becomes a Buddha, or a Buddha is born.
Maitreya Buddha, the successor of Shakyamuni Buddha on the main plane of the earth. It is said that he will be reborn from Tushigong at the end of the world.
At the end of the world, Shi Wu was once superstitious about this statement. He thought that Maitreya Buddha was about to come and save the five turbid evil worlds, but now he was impatient, and he wanted to build a pure land with his own hands.
In Shaolin Temple, the noon sun shines through the window lattices of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, casting black and white shadows between the bookshelves, and Shi Wu puts the "Miller Sutra" back on the bookshelf. Literary and artistic young people shook their fans, swaying from side to side.
"So you want to be a bodhisattva, complete the Pure Land, and become a Buddha yourself?" The literary youth shook his fan,
"Why not? Instead of waiting for Maitreya Buddha to come to the world, I should do it myself. ”
"It is said that the Pure Land of Mida has thirty-two phases, eighty kinds of good, and five spiritual powers. What does this Pure Land of yours have? Zombies, let alone the Pure Land, now it seems to be an antonym. The literary youth scoffed.
"In my Pure Land, everyone lives forever, without lust or hunger."
After hearing this, the literary youth retorted: "What does it mean if there is no desire? Do you want to make everyone just like you? ”
Shi Wu shook his head and said, "People are too fragile, afraid of cold and heat, and their lives are short-lived. In ancient times, when the world was still in the Dacheng period, everyone had a lifespan of 1,000 years. Instead of transforming the environment to adapt to people, it is better to transform people to overcome difficulties. This body is the key to the Pure Land, imagine if everyone has such a body, then there is still a need to worry about hot and cold, worry about time? At that time, this world was a pure land for everyone. ”
The literary and artistic young man widened his eyes in horror when he heard this, and said, "Exercise people?!" Isn't that what Taoism says? You're crazy! ”
"Amitabha. Buddha is the Tao. Shi Wukou recited the Buddha's name, and then said: "If the donor is not used to it, he can withdraw at any time, and the Pure Land team never forces others to join." ”
The literary youth said with a smile: "Everyone in the Angel Team hates me to the bone, because I provided information about the Red Blood Cell Team that is inconsistent with the facts, and they think that I killed the captain, and I can't go back now, so I won't quit." But I don't want to live in your Buddha kingdom either. I'm going to go to a plot world to settle down for a long time, how about the Titanic world? It is better to be reincarnated directly as an American. Do you say those things in Buddhism are true? There is also a pure land of reincarnation. ”
"Doesn't the fact that I can change my body mean that the soul exists? If the soul exists, then why does reincarnation not exist? ”
"You have the help of the main god, and if you don't have the main god, you can't change your body at all."
"If you want to prove that Buddhism is established, why not show the hell of Buddhism. Show hell on the video network, since the magic power of God and Buddha is boundless, then why not come to a live broadcast of hell. Let the villains in the oil pot and the host of the world have an interview. This is not contrary to Buddhist teachings. Aren't there many such pictures and sayings in Buddhist scriptures and pictures? Literary and artistic youth said.
Shi Wudao: "The main god space proves the existence of the three thousand small worlds of Buddhism. Do you think a Buddha would do such a frightening thing? That's the self-determination of the people who study Buddhism. ”
"There are so many worlds, and the Buddha can't control them, right? One thing I've always wanted to ask is, why do you always recite Amitabha Buddha and do you still want to go to the Pure Land of Amitabha? The literary youth laughed.
"There's a guest coming." Shi Wu made a gesture of listening.
The literary and artistic young man put away the folding fan, came to the door, and pushed open the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion sideways, revealing the three brothers Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, and Xuzhu in the center of the courtyard. (To be continued......)
