"Abbot, recently the various temples, some people have returned, there are rumors of haunting in various places, and there are many monks who have suffered misfortune, originally normal, suddenly went crazy, see people are afraid of people, see dogs afraid of dogs"

When Ling Chen was combing through the series of tasks that the Ship of Civilization had given him this time, he heard that a monk had come and gone.

He groaned for a moment and said, "Don't panic first, in broad daylight, Lang Lang, there must be something strange in this matter, you first order to go down, let the various sub-temples stabilize people's hearts first, investigate secretly, and wait for me to take someone to inspect it in person."

Although Ling Chen's body was very old, it was very tough, and penance was also a compulsory course for monks, so those monks didn't feel the difference.

After Ling Chen made a temporary disposition, the monk retreated, and he himself was pondering the task assigned to him by the Civilization Boat in the abbot's room, and he didn't actually take this sudden incident to heart in his heart, and he personally inspected it just to confirm the actual situation of the current branch temples.

"Name: Ling Chen, Identity: Abbot of Chongming Temple, Law Name: Zhikong. Battle World: The battle between agrarian civilization and nomadic civilization. Size of the temple: extremely large. Subordinate temples: Chongzhen, Chongyang, Chonghua, Donghua, Xiji, Nanyan, Zhongshan, ....... Number of temple affiliations: 538,400. School of Religion: New Buddhism. Faction: Farming Civilization. Faction Mission: Advance the current farming civilization into the industrial age without revealing real-world technology. Time Limit: The world of the campaign will enter a cycle after two hundred years, returning to its original state"

Ling Chen didn't take the haunted thing to heart, but the task given to him by the Civilization Boat seemed simple, but it was a very complex proposition.

How the West entered the industrial age is not led by a wise leader, but by the internal driving force of society. First of all, the exhibition of commercial economy, the emergence of a group of specialized in commercial exchange, to seek profits, no longer equal to the previous farmers and craftsmen, in the context of geographical appearance, this class appeared a broader market, urgently need more goods to these markets in exchange for high profits, the so-called profit is more commodities produced in these markets, and more commodities produced in the domestic market, and money is only a representative symbol of these physical objects, representing that they can be exchanged from the market at any time to these physical objects, This is what has value, and money that cannot be cashed in kind has no value.

The newly built colonies, the local natives, all need to rely on commodities to exchange with them, and if humans want to get things from strangers, one is to rob, and the other is to exchange things that the other party is interested in, it's as simple as that.

Cannons and muskets on the one hand, and commodities on the other, constitute the two means of profit. The rapid expansion of the demand for commodities has led to the progress of the handicraft industry, the first piece is the progress of textile technology, and the textile is also one of the most traditional and universal handicrafts of mankind to meet the basic needs of people's clothing, which is indispensable, the newly expanded market, the demand for cloth has expanded sharply, so that the whole era has this impetus to promote mechanical reform.

After the mechanical reform, represented by the Jenny textile machine, the production efficiency has been improved very high, which has put forward more demand for power, the original hydraulic power, manpower has been unable to meet the demand for efficiency improvement, under this high degree of stimulation, there will be a steam engine, a representative of the industrial age, followed by the demand for transportation, goods want to circulate quickly, need new modes of transportation, trains, steam locomotives, steam ships, have appeared one after another.

From the evolution of this industrial age, Ling Chen can easily grasp the core things, and in order to advance the agricultural civilization he is in to the industrial age in two hundred years, he naturally has a set of methods.

First of all, he needed to understand on the spot where the current Han Empire had reached and where the commodity economy had reached a peak, so he took advantage of the rumors of haunting in various temples to conduct a field investigation.

The Chongming Temple where he is located is in the north, there are no haunted rumors here, and the local situation Ling Chen also understands, after all, the geographical environment is not good enough, the productivity of this place, in the production of food and the manufacture of cloth, can only meet the basic needs of the local people, some surplus grain and cloth, also in the case of backward transportation, there is no value of transporting out for other things, because the 6-way traffic consumes too much grain and grass, people eat horses and chew, the consumption of hundreds of miles is a great expenditure, only some things are local specialties, And other places are in great need, and more things can be exchanged, so that caravans come to buy them.

Ling Chen first inspected the temples in the northern land, and had an in-depth conversation with the local monks, because the temple was surrounded by temple fairs, and it was easy for him to see the situation of commodity exchange from these places, and understand the local productivity, the more prosperous the temple fair, the stronger the demand for exchange, the more people, the more production, and the more demand.

As he expected, in most places, the things exchanged at the temple fair were still local grains, vegetables, melons and fruits, plus some homespun cloth, farm tools and ironware, and a few handicrafts, which had no value for long-distance transportation, and were only suitable for exchanging dozens of miles around.

Everywhere he went, he was naturally highly respected, and the local temples, under his transformation, after more than 30 years of exhibition, had already integrated education and charity, and each temple had a special monk to study the fields of agriculture, industry and medicine.

After inspecting the northern land, on this day, his law drove to Chang'an.

"Master Zhikong, the little monk has something important to repay," a young monk who looked extremely handsome**, came to the wing room of the temple where Ling Chen was staying one night, bent down and folded his hands, and said to Ling Chen respectfully.

"Say, dustless little master" Ling Chen sat cross-legged, raising his eyes to look at the monk.

"The little monk always remembers my Buddhist teachings, personally practiced, deep among the believers, a few days ago, in the prime minister's mansion, I heard Princess Xinping occasionally talk about the current prince, quite a Buddha meaning"

This is not alarmist, Ling Chen has heard a lot of similar remarks along the way, which is not out of his expectations, if the monks just eat fasting and chant Buddha, persuade people to be good, endure the hardships of this life and cultivate the blessings of the next life, and make a small offering to help rule, if there are too many, the monks who are not engaged in production will waste social wealth, and in the long feudal era, there is also the privilege of exemption from taxation, and as a result, many short-sighted imperial courts take out this kind of monk quota to buy and sell, which will form a great social burden, But in the end, there is no direct and fundamental threat to the foundations of domination.

But if these monks do the work of assisting the peasants, it will be a big problem, one of the nine Qings that Ling Chen got rid of at the beginning, is just one of the people who can see this kind of problem, among the other feudal ministers, it is also easy to see the problem, not to mention anything else, inviting people to buy people's hearts, in which feudal dynasty, it is a big crime among the major crimes, and it will be followed by the suspicion of "intent to rebel".
