Since the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha was erected, the population of the small town below the Buddha country has increased every day.

The reason why this town has been able to change rapidly from a small town to a city is not the huge Buddha statue that really works, nor is it Naha's promise to save the people.

It's money!

It's supplies!

It's cattle and sheep!

When Naha threw all the old monkey's life savings into this town, the people here immediately had food, cattle and sheep, cloth, salt, iron pots, tents, houses......

All these things were distributed by the Buddha to the people free of charge, and they didn't want money, lives, or children.

Within the territory of the Buddha Kingdom, there are large grasslands, large areas of cold pine forests, dense river systems, and a beautiful lake.

After inspecting the entire territory of the Buddha Kingdom, Yun Chu and Wen Rou were very sure that at least 200,000 people could live here and carry millions of livestock.

If these people were to live a half-farming and half-pastoralistic life, the number of people they could carry would rise even further, reaching a terrifying 300,000 people.

There is basically no city in the Western Regions with a permanent population of more than 100,000, and if Naha's Buddha Kingdom achieves this goal, then it is natural that the Buddha Kingdom will become the economic, cultural, and political center of the Western Regions.

The reason why the old monkey established the Buddha country here is not only to take into account the advantages of the geographical environment here, but also to take into account the major events of the Buddha country's external communication.

The Great and Small Bolu, the Zhaowu Nine Surnames, the River Mass, the Great Cannibals, and the Persians, who are very good at business, are all in its radiation.

Most importantly, the establishment of the Buddha Kingdom extended the safe road of the Silk Road to the west for 5,000 miles.

This will greatly stimulate the trade environment between the Western Regions and Chang'an, and the safe road will encourage more merchants who are willing to take risks to embark on this ancient silk road.

At that time, spices from the seaside, glass from Rome, a large number of rare treasures from the West, all kinds of grains, vegetable seeds, will continue to arrive in Chang'an through this road.

Then, through Yun Chu, a person who knows the goods, he picked out the most important and most fatal good things and advertised them widely, completely changing the relatively poor seed bank and dining table structure of Datang.

The most powerful horse thieves on the Silk Road are the old monkey's men, and it is because of these twelve horse thieves that Naha can receive a huge amount of protection money in Chang'an.

Only by offering a certain amount of treasure to the Buddha Maiden Naha Jing can the Buddha Maiden obtain the permission of the Buddha Maiden to use a flag, and the caravan with this flag will not be attacked by the many thieves on the Silk Road.

Now, Naha has gone to business herself, and it's time for the horse thieves to cook the rabbits and dogs.

Whenever a group of horse thieves drove a large group of people from the Western Regions back from the wilderness, the leader of the horse thieves would enter the cave where the old monkey lived to meet the old leader.

As long as the leaders entered the cave where the old monkey lived, they never came out again.

So much so that even Yun Chu had some psychological obstacles to entering the old monkey's cave, and always felt that this damn old monkey was a wounded tiger, waiting for the prey to throw himself into the net.

After all the leaders are inside, it is the turn of the second leader to enter, and after the second leader is all inside, it is the turn of the third leader, and the horse thieves who hope to take over these leaders.

Now, there are still people walking into the old monkey's cave with great excitement.

Yun Chu and Wen Wen stood at the window with a teacup and looked at another fierce horse thief and entered the old monkey's room.

"You say, these people should know that their leader is dead, right?"

Yun Chu scratched his head and asked gentleness, for the thoughts of people in the officialdom, gentleness looked at it more accurately than him.

"The big leader is dead, and the second leader is happy, and the second leader is dead, and the third leader is happy, thinking that it is finally his turn to be the leader of the horse thieves.

And so on, when the third leader dies, the strongest horse thief will follow suit, feeling that his chance has finally come.

Therefore, their death was self-inflicted, and it was consumed by the lust of profit under the coercion of the old monkey, and it was not a pity to die. ”

"You said that if the monkey master does this, he is not afraid of rebelling against all these horse thieves?"

Gentle smile: "There is a sequence here, this is very important, the first to be killed by him is the most unruly leader of the horse thief group, after killing the most likely betrayal of the horse thief leader, the horse thief leader behind always feels that he is loyal to the monkey master and will not be purged."

What they didn't know was that Master Monkey was going to completely eliminate the horse thief from the sequence of the Buddha Kingdom this time.

He is the chief scoop of horse thieves, and naturally knows that these people are wild and untamable, so ah, using means to kill them is the safest choice. ”

Yun Chu said: "I originally promised the monkey master that I would solve these horse thieves, but now it seems that he still did it himself." ”

Gentle smile: "This should be part of the agreement reached between the monkey master and the imperial court, you see, it won't be long before Wang Xiaojie of the Shule Governor's Mansion will come to the Buddha Kingdom and take over the defense here."

Vacate the cage for the bird, this is what His Majesty wants, before this happened, I thought that His Majesty was really interested in Buddhism.

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Twelve horse thieves group, no less than 10,000 people, it seems that the monkey master is planning to leave no one."

Wait, the infighting of the horse thieves is coming soon......

Gently shook her head and drank all the water in the teacup, and sighed: "It's really a thunder trick...... This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can do.

Perhaps, this is another explanation of the monkey master himself for "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot". “

Before you know it, the ice in the creek is beginning to melt, and the ice is gradually turning from turquoise to white.

When the yellow flowers of the dandelion came out of the ice crevices, a blizzard came as scheduled.

One moment the sun was shining warmly, but the next moment the wind was howling, and the wind swept snowflakes from a distance like a wall.

The clear blue sky didn't have time to change color, the sky darkened, and in the gaps of the gloomy dark clouds, there were still a few rays of residual light falling on the ground, which were soon swallowed up by the sudden blizzard.

Yun Chu, who was eating mutton hot pot with Gentle, Zhong Kui, and Naha, glanced at the blizzard outside, and sighed: "The white disaster is coming." ”

Gently take a bite of mutton and say comfortably: "White disaster? ”

Naha said on the side: "The snow is too big, and the hay is buried, and the sheep will not be able to eat the grass under the snow, and they will starve to death."

For herders, it is the most terrible disaster.

My brother and I also encountered a terrible white disaster at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and my brother immediately killed all the sheep in the family, and my mother and I hid in the house in sheepskin, and my brother had to clear the snow on the tent every once in a while, and also build a snow wall outside the tent to prevent the cold wind from blowing on the tent.

On that occasion, we hid in the tent for twenty-three days, and by the time my mother and I got out of the tent with my brother's permission, the snow outside had turned to water, and the whole tribe was robbing others of food with red eyes.

My brother and Uncle Kaskar, the two of us were outside to protect my mother and me for 12 days, and we were almost dead, and there was enough food left to eat, so we came out.

That time, my brother was stabbed twice, and one of Uncle Kaskar's legs was almost cut off, but fortunately, they all survived in the end. ”

Gently listened to Naha's story, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Did you live so hard at that time?" ”

Yun Chu said while peeling mutton into the hot pot with a knife: "For the white disaster, you can connect this matter with the drought that is rare in a hundred years on the land of the Central Plains. ”

Zhong Kui nodded and said, "I am now beginning to understand why those who rely on herding are predators.

Grazing is a more unreliable way of life than growing crops, and when I came to the Western Regions, I found that the herders did not eat much beef and mutton, but relied on the by-product milk produced by herding sheep, cattle and horses, plus the grain exchanged for cattle, sheep and livestock.

The meat was eaten by people like us. ”

Naha pursed her mouth and said, "Luckily, my brother can catch marmots and catch fish." Also catch rabbits. ”

The marmot Da Fat was squatting at the feet of Yun Chu and burying his head in eating soybeans, and suddenly heard Naha's words, which seemed to be talking about marmots, so he raised his head, looked at Naha in confusion, and suddenly saw the soup pot that was tumbling, so he decisively gave up the soybeans in his mouth, and crawled out of this terrible room, even if it was snowing heavily, it had to go to Selema......

The crisis that the marmot felt did not come from Naha, but from Yun Chu, the cold air emanating from the two of them.

The year of the pandemic is a good time to change the trajectory of people's lives.

Every major change in human beings has followed the pace of catastrophes, pandemics, and even major wars.

Now, there is a white plague here in the Buddha country.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a disaster, but in the eyes of the high-ranking and powerful, it often represents change!

Some of the bad things that should have been discarded in the past but could not be discarded because of human nature can now be discarded.

What people were reluctant to change in the past can now be changed through the catastrophe.

When people's lives are seriously threatened, many of the persistences are left behind, and people just want to live.

At this time, whoever has the power to save people will naturally hold the power.

And Yun Chu, a person like Wen Rou, it is impossible to give up this opportunity to manipulate power.

Zhong Kui lowered his head and ate violently, he was also a learned person, how could he not know the thoughts of Yun Chu and Wen Wen.

It's just that he doesn't want to say it, he doesn't want to think about it, and in his heart, he has decided to carve out two of the most vicious ghosts based on Yun Chu and Gentle Gentle.
