Water Margin people

After saying this, Sun Lei ignored these people and turned around and entered the hall.

Lu Zhishen, Gongsun Sheng and others immediately followed.

"Your Majesty is a sage within and a king without. He really understands the philosophy of the mind!"

Lu Jiuyuan sighed as he watched Sun Lei leave. Sun Lei's kindness and morality were known to the world, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized that this emperor practiced what he preached and was a true king.

"I think Your Majesty values ​​Confucianism more. Your Majesty promotes education and governs the country with virtue!"

Zhu Xi said without giving in.

The two sides started arguing again, but this time they began to link the emperor's behavior with their own academic knowledge.

In the hall.

Sun Lei sat down, and Lu Zhishen and others also sat down.

"These people are so noisy, I really don't like them!"

Lu Zhishen directly expressed his thoughts. What annoyed him the most was these noisy guys. If he were allowed to lead them, he would definitely gag these people's mouths with rags.

"Master Gongsun, you should integrate these people. It's better to separate them. This kind of commotion is not a good thing!"

Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and said.

"Your Majesty, these are simple, but they are afraid that it will be difficult to accomplish!"

Gongsun Sheng said helplessly that management is a small problem. The most troublesome thing is whether they can get things done. The burden on their shoulders is not light.

"You mean it's hard to form an impeccable religion and expand it in a short period of time?"

Sun Lei asked.

"Yes, I have discussed this with Dao Ji. It is not difficult to create a comprehensive religion. We have even sorted out the doctrines and are preparing to write them into a book. However, religions are most afraid of internal problems. Even if they are divided, they may become hostile because of their philosophies."

Gongsun Sheng said.

"Your Majesty, these things cannot be accomplished overnight!"

Dao Ji also spoke up and said that Buddhism was introduced to China since the Han Dynasty. With the improvement of successive generations of eminent monks, it was not until the Sixth Patriarch of the Tang Dynasty that the reform of Chinese Buddhism was truly completed.

"Haha, I don't really want a religion, I want you to defeat them! I don't care whether you delay them, defeat them, or replace them! What I want is for them to suffer a devastating disaster and destroy their foundation!"

Sun Lei laughed and told his real purpose. He had no feelings for religion and didn't want to create a new religion. What he wanted was a knife to chop the enemy's spirit.

"so……"

Dao Ji was shocked, he had not thought of this possibility.

"I don't have that much time to wait, nor do I intend to wait. If I take action, I must cut the Gordian knot. Delaying it will only give the enemy a chance to react. Even the most invincible strategy will have loopholes, and time will magnify these loopholes."

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said that he never underestimated his enemies. Even among the stupid Western aliens there would be smart people, and over time these people would become a trouble.

"Your Majesty, do you really just want to kill people?"

Dao Ji looked at Sun Lei and asked, his voice a little stiff. This was not what he wanted to see. He just wanted to spread Buddhism and save all living beings.

"Haha, how can you say that? I'm going to solve the problem. I kill people so that they won't kill me!"

Sun Lei spoke without any reservation.

"But they didn't come!"

Dao Ji said, the distance is so far, how could the foreigners from the West come here?

"You can guarantee that they won't come this year or next year, but what about the year after? Ten years from now? A hundred years from now?"

Sun Lei looked at Dao Ji and asked.

Dao Ji was speechless, he could not guarantee it. Everyone has selfish desires. The Central Plains is rich, and those people in the barren lands will definitely choose to plunder if they have the strength.

"Since you can't restrain the aliens, how can you restrain me? Besides, I also gave you the opportunity to preach. You Buddhists should be grateful to me!"

Sun Lei looked at Dao Ji and said, since the last explanation, the expansion of Buddhism has been unstoppable, and Dao Ji, a great monk, can only follow the torrent. "Remember, you can win the debate in the past, but if you can't win, then seize their weaknesses and attack them. Don't seek to win, just to perish together."

Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and said, this mutual destruction does not mean dying together, but destroying the religious foundations of both sides. As the invader, as long as the other side suffers damage, you will gain.

"I know!"

Gongsun Sheng nodded. He understood what Sun Lei meant. Now that he had so many people, what he needed to do was to start analyzing the enemy's weaknesses and then formulate countermeasures.

"Master Lu, these are your soldiers."

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.

"You just give it to these people? How can we fight like this?"

Lu Zhishen was very dissatisfied. Those people in the yard were good at talking, but if they started to fight, they would all wet their pants.

"Of course, there are also large armies. You are responsible for their safety. If necessary, you can use force to suppress them. This requires a combination of sweet treats and a big stick. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish!"

Sun Lei said.

"That's pretty much it!"

Lu Zhishen nodded with satisfaction. With soldiers as his assistant, he had something to do. If he were to hang out with those people outside, he would probably be beating people up every day.

After explaining the situation, Sun Lei left, and the rest was left to Lu Zhishen and Gongsun Sheng.

When passing by the yard, he saw Lu Jiuyuan and Zhu Xi arguing again. Sun Lei was too lazy to stay and left directly.

After another walk around the water, he returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the latest military report!"

Zhu Wu came to Sun Lei as soon as possible.

"Where?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Wu and asked.

"As for Japan, Wu Yong reported that Japan has been divided into seven parts after the war. The original royal family, Fujiwara, Minamoto, Taira, Tachibana, and two other forces are formed by a group of small families gathered on a large island in the south and north.

Zhu Wu reported.

"So fast?"

  Sun Lei was a little surprised. How long has it been since the war in Japan and it has become like this?

"According to Wu Yong's report, the four major families of Japan were well prepared. After they gained momentum, they began to expand madly, seizing cities, towns, and annexing smaller families. The Japanese royal family was completely unable to resist and could only defend the area around Kyoto."

"Wu Yong also contributed a lot of strategies. He tried his best to win over the Fujiwara and Tachibana families and attack the Taira and Minamoto clans..."

Zhu Wu explained in detail.

"Well, that's good. Let Wu Yong keep up the good work!"

Sun Lei nodded. He was very satisfied with what Wu Yong had done. According to this progress, Japan should have been destroyed by the end of next year without him having to do much.

"In addition, silver and copper ore are being transported back continuously, and a lot of silver and copper ore are already piled up in the warehouse."

Zhu Wu was talking about another thing.

"How is the circulation of the new money going?"

Sun Lei looked at Jiang Jing beside Zhu Wu.

"Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly. After the merchants in Jiangnan were severely punished, no one dared to use the new money anymore. At present, news from silver banks in various places has been received that the new money has been circulated smoothly throughout the country. Xu Guanzhong has also spread the news that our money is also circulating in Dali, Bagan, Halibanchao and other places."

Jiang Jing spoke.

"Well, don't stop minting money. Ensure sufficient liquidity of new money."

Sun Lei nodded with satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
