Chapter 530: What to do
Regarding this issue, Xuanzang thinks differently, although he also knows that Dahan has some things that seem to be sold to Datang all the time, including grain, but it shouldn't be so rich, because according to Xuanzang's understanding, such a high-intensity expenditure of funds, the treasury of Dahan should be consumed soon.
And this question was only figured out by Xuanzang not long ago, and the reason why he figured it out was because others told him about it, and the person who chatted with Xuanzang was a person in charge of engineering, and it was Xuanzang who asked this question.
Then the other party told him that according to the economic theory that the Han leaders had been teaching them, when money is buried in the ground or preserved, it is no different from broken copper and iron, and it cannot produce any value, and only when money circulates will it make society more and more prosperous.
Although it seems that all the workers were paid high wages, these wages were in the hands of the workers, who would soon be used to buy cloth, grain, meat, knives, machinery, furniture, and other daily necessities produced by the Han state-owned trading houses.
Regardless of whether these daily necessities come from the Han state-owned commercial banks, even if they come from private shopping malls, they all produce flow, and only when they flow, this part of the funds will pay taxes to the Han government, and the same funds will eventually flow to the Han treasury, and finally the treasury will pay to the workers or other funds.
The whole country will become more and more prosperous, when the other party told him about it, Xuanzang for the first time understood what economic theory is, he really had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, Xuanzang felt for the first time that there were so many words in the economy, and it was not just a process of buying and selling, there was a complete set of theories.
The other party said that he did not know completely, and it was said that there was more in-depth knowledge of this set of economic theories, but those knowledge required professional training, so he did not have the time and the opportunity to study.
That conversation also touched Xuanzang a lot, because for him, these things are unprecedented knowledge, and secondly, as an official who supervises the construction site of the Han Dynasty, he doesn't know how to write articles, but he has learned these theories of arithmetic, economics, and construction very solidly.
That is another difference between Dahan and Datang officials that Xuanzang once again felt, that is, professionalism! Officials in charge of different aspects are very proficient in different professions, and for them...... The only thing that I am not proficient in may be Confucianism, which the Tang Dynasty attaches the most importance to.
Xuanzang studied Confucianism, and as a senior monk who was proficient in many Chinese languages in this era, and could translate Buddhist scriptures, Sanskrit, and understand the interpretation of Buddhist scriptures, Xuanzang's knowledge was beyond doubt. He naturally has some understanding of Confucianism and other cultures, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he understands in his heart that each dynasty respects Confucianism because Confucian culture is beneficial to the rule of dynasties.
But it seems that this point is not important in the eyes of the big man, or in the eyes of the young leader of the big man, what he values most is how to make the people's lives better and live better.
To this day, Xuanzang has been in the territory of Dahan for nearly five years, and he can be said to have watched step by step how Dahan is becoming stronger and stronger, and how the people of Dahan are becoming richer and richer.
Xuanzang never dared to think that one day these ordinary people would have oil to eat and meat to eat almost every day of the year, and they didn't dare to say that they ate meat every day, but it was definitely not difficult to eat meat every other day.
Some slightly wealthy people are not a problem to eat meat every day, not to mention that all their food is fine grain, and some coarse grains and coarse chaff, which are the staple food of the people in some poor places in the Tang Dynasty, are ...... Only feed the pigs and feed the chickens.
No people would eat these things at all.
So not long ago, Xuanzang made a decision, he decided not to continue traveling, but to go directly to Tianzhu, but what he never expected was that he had just crossed the newly built city of Dahan, that is, Yaochi City, and then received the latest newspaper released by Dahan.
And then...... Tianzhu is gone!
This...... That is, Xuanzang is a monk, he is just confused now, I don't know what to do, if this is a modern person, it is estimated that he will explode directly, your mother exploded!
This special Lao Tzu walked hard for five or six years, just to go to Tianzhu to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures, and along the way prepared to travel to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, but from the time I left, I didn't go as fast as you to destroy the country, and when I went to the Western Regions, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were gone.
Okay, that's it, in order to expand your strategic position and for your own security, your Han directly unified the 36 countries of the Western Regions, which is also understandable, I can't travel to the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and I can travel to the 36 cities of your Han Dynasty.
It's not impossible, but I've been walking for five years, and I'm finally almost done, but you tell me that my destination is gone?! You must know that Xuanzang will probably have to walk for two years to reach his destination! He has only just reached Yaochi City now, and it will take at least two years when he reaches Tianzhu, which is the country that the Han Dynasty called the Jieri Dynasty.
In the past two years, I have not been able to travel and understand the local culture as before, but almost go straight to the destination.
But now, the Ring Sun Dynasty is gone, wait for him to walk over, at his pace...... When he passes, he will be "pleasantly surprised" to find that he went there, what is the difference between him and the Yumen Pass in Dahan? There is no difference, they are all the people of the Han Dynasty, they all speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and even use the weights and measures of the Han Dynasty.
Maybe...... According to the migration order mentioned in the newspaper of the Great Han, maybe he can still meet the people he met on the original road? People have already migrated over there, maybe they've been planting crops for a year? And he just went to seek the true scriptures?
Thinking of this scene, Rao is Xuanzang is a high monk, and he has a feeling that the Buddha is angry, and the feeling of wanting to scold people can only turn into an Amitabha Buddha in the end. The question is whose fault is it all this? Dahan's fault? No, the Han Dynasty has said that the Han Dynasty did not have any conflict with the Jieri Dynasty at all, but the Western Turks destroyed the Jieri Dynasty.
Then he used the land to do business with the Han and replaced it with more weapons and food, what does this have to do with the Han? What is the fault of the Ring Sun Dynasty? People are passively beaten, what can be wrong with the victims?
Therefore, Xuanzang was completely confused, because with the announcement in the Han newspaper, it was not only the Jieri Dynasty that was wiped out, but also the seven or eight small countries around that originally believed in some Buddhism, that is, all the countries were gone.
He went...... It is estimated that the true scriptures of Buddhism are gone, but the teachings of Haotian Sect, it is estimated that he can communicate, the question is that if he communicates with Haotian Sect, then what is he going to Tianzhu for? Is it bad to close the jade gate?
And now even the train of the Han Dynasty has been built from Yumen Pass to the vicinity of the Jieri Dynasty...... People can walk in five or six days, but he needs to walk for five or six years...... So here comes the question, go like this...... Is it worth it? Does it make any sense?
Xuanzang was thinking about life a little now, so he subconsciously took these meals, and he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, what kind of person is your leader?" ”
"I don't know, but in my opinion, the leader is the greatest person, many people say that the leader is the incarnation of Haotian God, the incarnation of the immortal heaven, oh, master, you should not believe that this is the Buddha you believe, so according to your statement, that leader is in my opinion Shakyamuni is alive?" The herdsman surnamed Wang said with a smile.
Xuanzang was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Do you all think so?" ”
"Yes, we all think so, our whole family is, master, I used to be an ordinary Turkic person, a year for the Turkic nobles to graze, can barely eat a full stomach is good, eat meat is only sheep sick and died, was bitten to death by the wolves on the steppe, can eat, and I need to use my own sheep, first replenish the nobles' flock."
"If there is no problem, we are reluctant to eat, my wife and I have a total of seven children, but two children starved to death not long after they were born, there is no food, my wife has no milk, and I dare not kill the sheep, because if I kill the sheep in those two years, our whole family will be killed by the nobles at that time."
"So, I could only watch my two children starve to death on the grassland."
"When my child starved to death, I asked for help from Changshengtian, I even asked for help from your Buddha, and all the other immortals, but no one saved me, until the leader appeared, our family was saved, from the moment I became a Han person, our family was never hungry, there are more and more sheep in the family, and now we can eat meat every day, there are fine grains to eat, and the salt is eaten with good fine salt, which is said to be eaten by nobles in the Tang Dynasty."
"And it's not just salt, but also all kinds of spices, these things used to be something that even the Turkic nobles couldn't afford to eat, so the leader is a god in my heart, he is all gods, I don't care what god the leader is, the leader says what god he is, I think he is a god."
The herdsman surnamed Wang had a smile on his face, even when he mentioned his deceased child, these smiles never fell, "My wife just gave birth to a big fat boy for me again, this time he is very healthy, when my wife was pregnant, the town's patrol also specially said that my wife is old and will not be able to have children in the future." ”
"Because if we get pregnant and have a child again in the future, there is a risk of dystocia, and this time we also want to go to the town to find a health center and find Langzhong, and they will come to see us at any time."
"When my wife gave birth, she gave birth in a sanitary center, and the place was clean, and all the sheets in the house were snow-white, saying that it was for hygiene...... I don't know either, but this time my wife and kids are healthy from start to finish without any problems. ”
