Chapter 218: The figure of the third pawnshop

An image appeared in Lin Ye's mind.

Night!

Han, Beidi County, Taishou Mansion.

A middle-aged official was looking at Mingyue in the backyard with a sad face.

Thinking of him Chen Qian, he was talented, but because of his humble background, he was squeezed out by the famous family above the court, and finally was relegated to a bitter cold place like Beidi County.

Even so, he Chen Qian still never admitted defeat, and he was confident that he could run Northland County well.

But after three years, his self-confidence was gradually eroded.

The fact that the people of the north can't understand the language is a big problem, and there are many indigenous forces, and they don't care about the orders of the court at all, and they don't pay attention to him, the Taishou.

If it weren't for the fact that this is a frontier and there are troops stationed, I am afraid that he will have to worry about his life if he leaves the Taishou Mansion.

Full of talent, but there is no place to show it.

"Chen Jun can't sleep at night, isn't there something distressing?"

A scholar in a green robe walked in, and Chen Qian smiled bitterly when he saw this moment: "Mr. Liao, this official has been the Taishou of Beidi County for three years, but he has made no achievements, and he is depressed. ”

"It was precisely because he knew that Chen Jun was depressed in his heart that Liao came here to send Chen Jun a plan to relieve this depression."

"What is your plan, sir?"

"When I was on a study tour, I saw people from the Western Regions, and I learned from this mouth that there is a sect in the Western Regions, with many believers, and everyone in the Western Regions believes in this religion, and the words of the head of the religion are enshrined as oracles.

Chen Qian's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened to Mr. Liao's words, "Then please ask Mr. to invite that missionary for me." ”

"Serve yourself."

……

……

A month later, Chen Qian met a missionary from the Western Regions in the Taishou Mansion, where there were people in the north who were engaged in commercial trade with the Western Regions, and there were people who knew the language of the Western Regions.

When he finished reading the teachings of the scriptures preached by the missionaries, Chen Qian was shocked, and he was sure that this was the cure he wanted to govern the northern lands.

Chen Qian spent five years training a group of Buddhist disciples, and he himself called himself a big disciple.

He built temples in various parts of Northland County, and arranged for these Buddhist disciples to go to the temples to chant sutras and chant Buddha to promote Buddhism, but after a year, there were few believers, and not many people came to the temples.

Just when he was a little hesitant, Mr. Liao gave him another plan.

"The yamen recruits tolerance, and the disciples of Buddhism are preferred."

"Anyone who is a disciple of Buddhism can reduce the tax on forced labor."

"If you enter the temple to listen to the lectures, you can receive millet rice."

As soon as these three announcements came out, many people in the north poured into the temple, not to mention the tolerance, but the reduction of forced labor and the receipt of millet are visible benefits.

In just three years, the people of the north regarded themselves as Buddhist believers, and the number of temples in the county has grown from a dozen to hundreds, and almost every village has a temple.

Chen Qian issued a public announcement with the county guard of Beidi County, and not many people in Beidi County cared about it, but what he said as a great disciple of Buddhism was regarded as an oracle by the people.

After tasting the sweetness, Chen Qian directly asked his subordinates to call himself the great disciple of the Buddhist Protector, and the Taishou Mansion has also become the first holy place of Buddhism, and the abbot of each temple must come to the Taishou Mansion to report, and the abbot of each temple is also appointed by Chen Qian himself.

Chen Qian's prestige has reached an unprecedented level in Northland County.

With the identity of the great disciple of the Buddhist protector, Chen Qian was finally able to show his talent and began to use the Buddha's mouth to issue some decrees, and Beidi County was also thriving, and the people were unprecedentedly united.

However, the good times did not last long, and five years later, the imperial court received a report that Chen Qian, as a Taishou, did not preach the prestige of the Han Dynasty, but preached Buddhism.

When the imperial court heard the news, it was furious and ordered Chen Qian to return to the capital to explain clearly.

Taishou Fufu.

Chen Qian and Mr. Liao, the doorman, were in that courtyard again.

"Jun Chen, you can't go back, the reason why the imperial court asked you to go back to the capital to resume your life is because you are afraid that if you directly order you to be arrested, there will be a rebellion in the north."

"I also know what Mr. said, but the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, and there is a strong enemy outside the north, and there is another army stationed there, if I don't return to the capital, I am afraid that the edict from the capital next time will make the official directly fall to the ground."

"Chen Jun, please take a look!"

Mr. Liao took out a bamboo slip, Chen Qian swept his eyes, and his expression was very shocked: "Sir, what are you?" ”

"This is the believers who believe in Buddhism in the garrison army, which I have secretly developed in the past few years, which can ensure that they are loyal enough to Chen Jun."

"Sir, you're trying to get me to raise an army...... It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

Chen Qian shook his head, even if there was such a defender, he could not be the opponent of the imperial army, not to mention the foreign enemies who were eyeing him.

"Chen Jun, we naturally can't rebel, but if we can let the court know the role of Chen Jun, and know that no one can stabilize Beidi County except Chen Jun, and I will bring some gold and silver to the capital to operate, then the court will naturally not move Chen Jun again."

"How do you let the court know that the northern land can't be without its own official?"

"Let the tiger out of the mountain!"

……

That night, Chen Qian sat alone in the backyard, thinking a lot.

Thinking of the ostracism he suffered in the court.

Thinking that he was relegated to the desolate land of the Northland, while the children of those famous families were able to step by step to the high position of the temple in the capital.

Think of the Buddhism he painstakingly introduced.

Thinking of the Northlands under his rule, the lives of the people are getting better and better.

……

Day 2!

The people of Northland County were shocked by a piece of news.

The frontier was lost, foreign enemies invaded, wantonly looted and slaughtered the people, and the people fled into the county town one after another.

Chen Qian ordered the city to be sealed, and on the third day of the blockade, foreign enemies killed the county and began to attack the city.

Fortunately, Chen Qian has strengthened the city wall several times over the years, and the enemy army has no siege equipment and cannot break through the city, but this time the foreign enemy invaded, and the people of each village seemed to have been notified in advance, and they all brought food into the county town, resulting in these enemy troops not being able to grab much food this time.

Unable to grab food, the leader of the enemy army was unwilling to retreat and ordered the siege of the city.

This circumference is a month.

Although the enemy army did not grab food, they captured many civilians and prisoners, and these prisoners were their food, and there was a shortage of food in the city at the moment.

"Jun Chen, it's time to make a decision!"

In the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, Mr. Liao stood outside the door of the Buddha Hall, anxiously looking at Chen Qian kneeling inside, Chen Qian looked up at the Buddha statue in front of him, which was the largest in Beidi County, and it was made of pure gold, and he didn't reply for a long time.

"Jun Chen, this is not the time to be soft-hearted, not to mention your life, even the lives of so many people in Northland County are also in your thoughts."

"You...... Go for it. ”

In the end, Chen Qian's answer came from the hall, and Mr. Liao was overjoyed, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the Taishou Mansion.

An hour later, the people of Northland County received the Buddha's will from the great disciple of the Buddhist Dharma Protector.

Because the people of Beidi County were devoted to the Buddha, the Buddha decided to select a group of believers and go to the Western Heaven Elysium to listen to the Buddha's personal lectures.

As soon as the news came out, the people in the county town were very excited, and they all wanted to listen to the Buddha's lectures, but in the end only 1,000 people were selected.

The second month!

Again, the Buddha chose the believers.

In the third month, pick again.

The enemy army outside the city has eaten the captives of three months, and the people inside the city are ......

By the fourth month, the enemy had finally retreated, for all the captives had been eaten.

Northland County held the siege of the enemy army for three months, and not a single citizen of the city died.

The news reached the court, and the court was shaken, and Chen Qian's prestige reached its peak in the north.

"Chen Jun, the court sent you a commendation."

Mr. Liao held an edict, but Chen Qian took it but didn't even look at it, and threw it directly on the ground.

"Chen Jun, you ......"

"This official guarded the city for three months, and such great achievements should have been publicized by the court, widely publicized, to boost the military prestige of my Han Dynasty, and also to greatly increase the morale of the people of my court, but the court put this news in the high cabinet, just such an edict, I am afraid that the author Lang will not mention this official."

The writer Lang was an official in the court who recorded the major events of the state.

If it can be included in the pen of the writer, it means that it will leave a name in history.

"The court is afraid of me, I'm afraid that I will do everything possible to transfer this official out of the Northland."

"Chen Jun, then how should we deal with it?"

"Although the foreign enemy retreated, there are still small groups of enemy troops wandering in my northern county, plundering the people's food, killing our northern people, and letting the sergeants chase and suppress the enemy army."

Mr. Liao was stunned, there is no enemy army in Beidi County, this time the enemy army has been besieged for three months and has not been able to break the city, there is a lack of food for the winter, most of the army is starving to death and freezing to death, and I am afraid that it will not be able to invade again within ten years.

"Where did the enemy come from?"

"I remember that some tribes have not yet believed in my Buddha."

"Liao knows what to do."

"Thank you, sir."

When Mr. Liao walked away, Chen Qian looked at the golden Buddha in front of him, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and the next moment, he picked up the hammer and smashed it at the golden Buddha.

The golden Buddha made of pure gold naturally would not be broken, but it shook and fell from his demeanor and fell to the ground, and those kind eyes seemed to Chen Qian to be mocking him at this moment.

"Since you can't shelter your followers, then don't be a Buddha like you, from now on, I will be a Buddha."

"You're right, since everyone is a Buddha, why can't you be a Buddha?"

A voice sounded behind Chen Qian, and when Chen Qian turned around, he saw a young man in white standing behind him.

"Who are you?"

Chen Qian looked at the other party vigilantly.

"I'm the one who came to help you, don't you want to become a Buddha, I can give you something to become a Buddha."

"What became a Buddha?"

A golden eye appeared on the hand of the man in white.

"Take it, and you'll become a Buddha."

"What do you want me to do?"

Chen Qian could feel the attraction of those golden eyes to him, but he knew that the other party would not help him for no reason.

"The third pawnshop rules, any transaction must be fair to both parties, I will help you become a Buddha, and when you become a Buddha, you have to do something for me, now you have not become a Buddha, it is useless for me to make conditions, and when you become a Buddha, I will come to you."

The man in white left the golden Buddha, and the figure disappeared.

The images that Lin Ye saw were not over, and what followed was everything Chen Qian did on the way to becoming an alternative Buddha.

Reform the doctrine and cast the Buddha statue......

Fake Death......

"Don't look at it, don't you also want to follow the path of an alternative Buddha."

The sudden helpless voice made Lin Ye come out of the image, and Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye with a helpless expression.

"Sometimes I wonder if it's our eight-character offense, how many times have you ruined my deal."

Lin Ye also looked at Bai Jinye, but his expression was very serious: "Why are you doing this?" ”

"You are asking me questions, or you trade with me, and I can tell you the answer."

Bai Jinye looked very excited, and the corners of Lin Ye's mouth twitched slightly: "No, I'm just asking casually." ”

"Hey, that's really disappointing me." Bai Jinye had a sad expression: "I really want to find an enemy of yours now, and then make a deal with him, kill you, and save you from ruining my deal every time." ”

"I don't have any enemies, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it?"

"No, with your style, you don't look like someone who doesn't have enemies."

"My enemies have been sent to the underworld by me."

White Night: ......

"Well, that's a pity, I'll show up next time before you kill the enemy, so it's too late, but it's hard...... Your enemy can afford to pay the price of the deal, or you can show you the way, take the laboratory, dominate the world, and kill the scholar in the laboratory first. ”

"Scholar? Which one are you referring to? ”

"Who else but the number one in your laboratory?"

Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye playfully: "I know many of his secrets, maybe one day you will go hostile, do you want to get some information from me." ”

"No need."

"Then I'll suffer, you can ask me three questions, and I'll ask you one question, this is a good deal."

"If you'll allow me to answer at will, I can promise you this deal." Lin Ye replied.

Bai Jinye: "Forget it, forget it, I'll go find the next trader, this Golden Buddha's Eye is endless, take advantage of it." ”

Looking at Bai Jinye's disappearing figure, Lin Ye's expression was extremely solemn, judging from the transactions he had destroyed Bai Jinye several times, this person was very evil.

He can trade people like Chen Qian, which shows that there is probably no such thing as justice and evil in his worldview, and all this person cares about is trading.

……

Outside the temple, Wei Yang waited anxiously, wanting to step into the temple several times, but in the end he held back, until he heard Lin Ye's voice coming, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tear down all these pagodas, return the heads to the villagers of Xun'an Village, and remember the characteristics of your appearance when those villagers explain your features."

"Remembered." Wei Yang nodded heavily, and while waiting at the temple, he deliberately reviewed the experience of the village in his mind, focusing on the names and facial features that the villagers told him.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, and you can go back after they are buried, and I'll go to the rabbit clan by myself."
