Chapter 125 Daoyan’s first sword to slay the dragon

Datianjie Temple.

On the high mountain peak, Dao Yan looked at the long sacrificial procession, stretching past like a group of moving black ants.

The morning breeze blew by, and the black cassock on Daoyan's body was blown up. His eyes were a little glazed, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind.

Daoyan turned around and saw his eldest disciple Huikong walking up to him.

The delicate-looking Huikong was dressed in an apricot-yellow monk's robe, but he was dressed as a warrior monk. He exposed half of his arms with very clear muscle outlines, and saluted him with his hands clasped together.

The strange thing is that Huikong didn't say a word.

Daoyan also returned the favor.

On the mountain peak, the two of them were silent for a long time.

"Huikong, your silence will come in handy next year."

"Referring to the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree."

Dao Yan looked calmly at this silent monk who had been raised by him since childhood and knew almost all his secrets.

Jin Youzi opened his eyes in disbelief.

"What do you think their motives are?" Dao Yan's words seemed a bit like a school test.

"In other words, when Jiang Sheng preached and received his karma, he seemed to be the incarnation of immortal Buddhas all over the sky, omniscient and omniscient."

Huikong remained speechless.

Jin Youzi thought for a while and then said: "There are some people who are really not willing to deal with Xia Shangshu and take the opportunity to make trouble, but these people are only a very small number, and some are just grasshoppers who have fallen into the wind. Looking at their superiors, the teacher spoke, and

Follow up with a few words of rebuke to show off."

"I believe that not only His Majesty and His Highness the First Prince think so, but also all the civil and military officials."

"Otherwise, Jiang Shengruo is just a mortal in the eyes of the world. No matter what he does, he will be criticized verbally and writtenly to the point where it would be impossible to even start."

Jin Youzi clenched the fists in his sleeves tightly.

"But what I want as a teacher is not this ridiculous dream."

Dao Yan closed his eyes, and he seemed to see himself slashing out an invisible sword at the giant blood-sucking insect that had been entrenched in the sky for thousands of years.

After you have worked hard for a month, your boss tells you that your salary next month will be used to buy the company's own bonds, and you will not be able to get it back until five years later.

This world lacks someone who can guide them to the right future.

"Today, as a teacher, I will first explore the path for Jiang Sheng."

"I will smile to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact."

And the basis of this class is businessmen.

——Confidentiality.

"Let's talk about it."

Because after a long period of thinking, Daoyan finally realized that he was destined not to see the dawn of a "Datong Society" in this life.

It turns out that this is Master Dao Yan’s plank road built openly and secretly used by Chencang!

At this time, Dao Yan turned around, looked at the line of people heading towards the great altar, and murmured in his heart.

Long live the boss!

The company is my home!

Jin Youzi said with a joking smile: "They all look quite ashamed, but I guess these old foxes are just pretending."

"Then tell me." Dao Yan turned the rosary in his hand, "Those ministers and ministers, with their status, why do they want to speak? Since they are not the grass that has fallen into the wind, they have no grudge against Xia Shangshu, let alone anything.

Interest disputes are the most serious

The important thing is that if the deduction of one month's salary and the "Ming Dynasty national debt" really affect anyone, it will definitely not affect them. Which of these high-ranking officials is not rich? With one month's salary deduction, they will not starve to death, but those small officials really

There are things that cannot be opened."

And if you want to conquer Japan and expand overseas trade and colonization, this amount of funds is simply not enough.

Dao Yan said disapprovingly: "The civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty should have been criticizing Xia Yuan Yoshikou in the morning, right?"

Dao Yan's eyes became a little complicated, and he looked in the direction of the prison.

The historical mission that Daoyan gave himself was to promote the progress of productivity and incubate the classes that will form the next new society in advance. In other words, he also promoted the creation of the necessary class foundation for the "Great Harmony World" in advance.

But you must know that when the voyage to the West was made, hundreds of civil servants were already unwilling. For this reason, it was the emperor and the vassals who raised the money to start the shipbuilding plan necessary for the first voyage to the West.

Jin Youzi was stunned for a moment.

"That makes no sense." Jin Youzi said earnestly, "Even if the officials who have subscribed a lot are given some worthless honors, it is much better than killing them all."

Therefore, Daoyan must go all out to promote Western and overseas colonization and trade.

Dao Yan took it, shook it open, looked at it, and handed it to Huikong.

"With this money, the facilities and personnel needed to go to sea will be met, and the facilities established and the talents cultivated will become the first step for Ming Dynasty to move toward ocean trade."

"Of course." Jin Youzi nodded.

Huikong nodded but remained silent.

Dao Yan's smile became more and more incomprehensible: "Although you are a close minister of His Majesty, you are also one of the hundreds of officials. After going through this process, what kind of changes will happen to your psychology?"

Daoyan pinched the rosary beads in his hand and said leisurely with his back to Huikong.

Dao Yan looked at the other party with extremely cold eyes.

Jin Youzi said frankly: "Naturally, I went from angry and confused to ecstatic."

Therefore, if he wants to get the civil servants to agree to spend such a large sum of money out of thin air, which is also the necessary start-up capital for cultivating a new class, Dao Yan must plan a plan, one that looks ridiculous, but can make all civil servants unknowingly

Jump in and be grateful for his game.

"Do you think that at this time, the civil and military officials who have tasted the sweetness will agree without hesitation to this plan that they would never agree to at ordinary times?"

In Dao Yan's judgment, if the Ming Dynasty continues to follow the old path, then according to his understanding of the Ming Dynasty and the strong inertia of the agricultural society, it is almost impossible to embark on this new path, unless there is an external force to interrupt the old path.

road.

"As long as the first voyage to the West is over and the Ming Dynasty begins to realize the benefits of maritime trade, then it is natural that maritime trade will bring about improvements in productivity and then promote the growth of the merchant class.

Something happened."

Huikong didn't refuse. If the master asked him to read it, he would read it.

He doesn't care about the treasures he encounters during the journey. He can't take them with him. He will brag solemnly to his companions. He will also think about how to die more honorably when facing danger. Similarly, he will also encounter treasures on the road.

When someone is in trouble, offer sympathetic help. Maybe he has fallen into this situation in his past journey.

"What I want is for them to be so happy and sad that they have no time to guess my true intentions."

Dao Yan motioned to sit down and rest on the big rock on the top of the mountain. Huikong didn't do it. Instead, he took out a rolled-up piece of paper from his apricot-yellow monk's robe and handed it to Dao Yan.

Jin Youzi's speculation was naturally correct, but Daoyan's next words surprised him even more.

"What?!"

"How did the officials react when they learned the 'truth' about Xia Shangshu's proposal for the Ming Dynasty's national debt?"

"Benefits?" Jin Youzi frowned.

"It is precisely because of the huge profits that we should extend our kindness widely."

"Jiang Sheng wants to be as famous as Kunlun, so he should be given to him as his master. It just so happened that Zhang Yuchu proposed to send the elixir of fertilizer in the name of the immortal."

"But." Jin Youzi finally looked a little confused, "Master Daoyan, there is something I really don't understand, and I would like to ask the master for advice."

"The greatest benefit to them from chemical fertilizer elixir is that it can increase their grain yield per acre!"

"A few months ago, I felt that I had finished performing the Dragon Supporting Technique with my own hands and that I would have no regrets in this life."

As for Dao Yan now, his ideal is to shape the future with his own hands in the last stage of his life and guide the Ming Dynasty towards that "Great Harmony Society."

"But once Jiang Sheng leaves this state and becomes an ordinary mortal, he will certainly lose some of his greed for worldly money, beauty, and status, but his own humanity will never be lost."

"Obviously, they are scolding Xia Shangshu, but they are all for Your Majesty to hear. Aren't they all saying that Xia Shangshu has deceived the Holy One and failed to live up to His grace?"

"Build the plank road openly and visit Chen Cang secretly," Jin Youzi said.

The so-called closed-mouth meditation means to reduce the karma of the mouth, eliminate sins and avoid disasters, and reduce one's own sins. Opening the mouth is a sin. Close-mouthed meditation is when the body opens the mouth to the extreme, and the mind also has enlightenment. Only by closing the mouth can you practice closed-mouthed meditation.

Get great results.

"Isn't this a huge benefit for all the civil and military officials? You know, the fertilizer elixir must be relatively expensive to sell at the beginning. Isn't this a hugely profitable business?"

A strong wind blew by, and Daoyan's black cassock on the hilltops moved wildly.

"My master has been paying attention to Jiang Sheng."

There is no shortage of people in this world who want to gain power, nor are there any shortage of people who can do things.

"Although I couldn't see that day coming, I personally wielded the first sword to slay the dragon."

Dao Yan spread the paper out on the cold rock and read it word by word.

But it doesn't matter, there is no need to be depressed about this, because his life has undergone earth-shaking changes since he listened to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture.

"You only know one, but not the other."

"In this world, there is no shortage of a sage Jiang who does things. What is lacking is a sage Jiang who can bring out his best characteristics and spread his thoughts to the whole world."

"And from the incident of 'The Last Word in Prison', it can be clearly seen that the humanity in Jiang Sheng has not been eliminated, but has become more complicated."

"Moreover, even if he wants to set an example, he can't deduct his monthly salary. Could some petty officials force him to starve to death?"
