Chapter 329 Master Moye to Baiyue
As the New Year celebration ended, the Qin Dynasty returned to its usual trajectory and continued to move forward in an orderly manner along the path of prosperity and prosperity.
On December 15, the second year of the Second Emperor's Li, Daqin sent an envoy to Wusun. This was the first time that Daqin sent an envoy to the countries in the Western Regions, but it would never be the last time.
In history, due to the short time of the founding of the dynasty and foreign policy, direct exchanges with the Western Regions were limited. However, because of the existence of Li Nian, the Qin in this world, knew the important value of the Western Regions to the Qin Dynasty, and the foreign policy had undergone great changes.
Even if we cannot effectively control the Western Regions at present, we can still do it by sending a delegation to exchange and exchanges with the countries in the Western Regions, getting familiar with each other, and obtaining some news from the Western Regions.
First understand the Western Regions. When the strength is accumulated in the future, you can act and use it directly, so you won’t wait until you need it to use it before you can rush to understand it.
On January 10, the second Xianyang Grand Examination was held. This class referenced more candidates than the previous class. First of all, the first class demonstrated very well, giving the candidates on the list enough face.
As the saying goes, "Once one day, one can tell the world that the knowledge is spread all over the world." Now, even in remote rural areas, some people know that the top three in Xianyang's exams are called "the top scorer", "the second scorer" and "Tanhua"?
That top scholar is amazing. How glorious is it to be able to travel to Xianyang City by horse and get clothes and banquets from His Majesty?
Of course, some people are not convinced by the No. 1 pick, second-tier and Tanhua who were in the Xianyang exam last year: those people are not as talented as me, and they are all on the list and are famous all over the world. If I refer to them, I will definitely get a higher ranking than those people.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and a group of stupid monkeys dare to be called kings. Well, I went out of the mountain to walk to Xianyang to let the world know who is the real talent.
Secondly, the changes that have taken place in the Qin Dynasty in the past year have changed many people’s original impression of the Qin Dynasty.
Many wise men in the opposition do not like the original way of governing the country, and think that it is too harsh and cruel, and it is not a law of governing the country that a normal country should have. Therefore, they are resistant to the Qin Dynasty and do not want to be an official of the Qin Dynasty, nor do they want to do things for the Qin Dynasty.
But in the past year, Daqin, which has always advocated strict punishments and laws, has eased. Although the law has actually been more detailed than before, the punishment has been much lighter. He will no longer be punished by one shield and one armor at will, and will not be punished by criminals with cruel corporal punishment at will, which will become mild.
The Qin Dynasty also reduced and exempted some taxes and labor service, which made people have hope for life.
From many changes, the knowledgeable people realized that the Qin Dynasty was developing in a good direction, and the Qin Dynasty was in a period of drastic changes, and this change may be unprecedented.
This made them excited. What kind of country will it create with unprecedented changes? Will it be stronger than the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in the past? Will the country last longer than the Zhou dynasty?
The reason why the change is a change is that the result is not yet determined, and no one knows where it will go. And the universe is not yet determined, which means there is great potential.
They naturally want to participate in it. If they miss such an unprecedented change, they will regret it for a lifetime.
They want to show their talents in this great change, shine their light, experience and observe them personally, and record this change.
As a result, many people who were watching during the first Xianyang exam came to participate in the second Xianyang exam, resulting in a surge in the number of people in the second session.
I have to hear so many people come to refer to it, and the First Emperor's face was both happy and depressed.
What is delighted is that after this big test, the Qin generals have another group of talents available. The depression is that there are actually many capable people and wise men in the world, but in the past they just didn't want to do things for the Qin Dynasty, and would rather have a vacant talent than use it for him and the Qin Dynasty.
Now that the Great Qin has changed, these people have taken the initiative to jump out and use it for the Great Qin, proving that the Great Qin in the past is indeed not very popular in the world.
If we follow the Xianyang Grand Examination model a few more times, it will sooner or later become the routine of the Qin Dynasty and become the imperial examination.
Although the second Xianyang Grand Test was even more popular than the first one, Li Nian did not pay much attention to it, because although the second one was large in number, the charter stipulated that they were all based on the first one he designed, and he only participated in the last top ten rankings.
In March, Liuying Academy welcomed the second batch of freshmen to enroll. This time, the freshmen who enrolled were still hundreds of children of appropriate age selected from the old Qin people.
Li Nian's plan for the Six Ying Academy is a five-year school system. After five years, except for those who perform extremely well, they can continue to study, other children will graduate and be assigned to various positions that require them.
These are all very smart children, but unfortunately, in this era, many of them were destined to go through elementary school, junior high school, high school, and then to college like students in later generations.
Because the current situation of Daqin cannot give them so much time to study in school. Unless their talents are indeed extremely excellent, they will only study in the academy for five years, and they will be assigned to positions that Daqin needs them to play.
Li Nian has high expectations for them, hoping that in these five years, their academic level can reach the level of junior high school students in future generations, and even high school students.
In April, after several months of travel, Gan Yu and others finally arrived at the Baiyue territory with the Danmolidi mission.
Looking at the dense forest in front of him, Gan Yu smiled and introduced to Master Moye, "When you pass through this forest, you will reach the Baiyue tribes. Baiyue is the name of the tribes of our Great Qin for this area. They are not a country or a tribe, but a group of tribes."
"Qianshi is the place of the Yueshang tribe among the Baiyue tribe. This Yueshang tribe is also one of the Baiyue tribes that are close to our great Qin Dynasty. We lived here a long time ago. We will meet them after we are here."
Listening to Gan Yu's introduction, Master Moye and the monks accompanying him were curious, excited, and expectant. The Yueshang tribe was obviously a tribe they had never contacted before, which means they could spread the Buddha's wonderful Dharma to them!
This is a wild land, but it is also an undeveloped fertile land for the Buddha. How wonderful would it be if people here could also learn Buddhism and believe in Buddhism and listen to the wonderful sounds of the Buddha?
Seeing the expressions on the faces of these Danmo Lidi people, Gan Yu didn't know what these monks were thinking. He must be thinking of preaching Buddha to Baiyue people.
Gan Yu also felt a little curious, and he wanted to know what kind of scene it would be like when a monk from Danmoli preached Buddhism to Baiyue people?
"May I ask Mr. Gan Yu, how far is this place from Daqin?"
Master Moye did not forget that the Baiyue tribe here was not their ultimate goal, but the Great Qin Kingdom. They came from Danmolidi to spread Buddhism to the Great Qin Kingdom, not to pass it on to these barbarian tribes here.
Of course, if it can be done easily, Master Moye doesn't mind doing it.
Gan Yu said, "From then, pass through Luoyue territory, and then pass through Xiou, you can enter the territory of our Great Qin. According to Gan's estimate, you should be able to reach the Great Qin within a month!" It will take another month to reach the Great Qin. The Great Qin State is really far away from them, but he is looking forward to the scenery of the Great Qin that he can see in a month:
I hope that this Great Qin State can have enough population and land, and successfully promote their Buddha successfully, and open up another land for the Buddha to believe in Buddhism!
Master Moye did not ask again, and everyone continued to walk through the mountains and forests. When he walked out of the dense forest, Master Moye saw many people appearing in front of him.
These people are thin and slightly dark in size. They are somewhat similar to those of the tribes in the Jindi area, but their clothes are different, and these people are more fierce than those in Jindi.
This should be the member of the Yueshang tribe that the Qin people mentioned!
Master Moye guessed in his heart that when those people saw the Qin people, they immediately had a smile on their faces, and the leader came up enthusiastically to greet the Qin people Gan Yu.
This person is speaking a language that Master Moye cannot understand, but Master Moye can understand the language of the Qin people. From this, what he guesses is: Welcome everyone from the Qin Dynasty to return!
Master Moye was not surprised that the people from the Yueshang tribe appeared here, because before they reached this land, the Qin people had sent people to take the lead, not only to reconnaissance the situation ahead, but also to inform the people of the Yueshang tribe.
After communicating with the Qin man Gan Yu, the man's eyes fell on him. Master Moye then listened to Gan Yu's introduction: "This is Master Moye. These are monks from Danmolidi, the Peacock Kingdom. The monks are a group of people who devoutly believe in the gods and Buddhas!"
Master Moye bowed to this person and said, "I am Moye, I have met the donor!"
Gan Yu then introduced this person in Peacock Mandarin, "This is Yezhuo's leader from the Zhongxiling tribe of Yueshang tribe. His tribe lives in the west of Yueshang tribe. When we return from the west, we will first meet the tribe of Yezhuo. Leader Yezhuo is here to greet us."
This man also returned a tribute and said words that Master Moye didn't understand, but guessed that his intention should be to report his name and welcome them.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Sure enough, language barriers are the first obstacle to communication. Master Moye now really hopes that there is a common language that no matter who it is, he will speak.
After a brief introduction, under the leadership of the leader of the Xiling tribe of Yueshang tribe, everyone arrived at a place of residence.
This is a city that Master Moye and the monks of Danmolid had never seen before. In fact, it should not be called a city, and it is more accurate to call it a tribal gathering place or a copycat.
Compared with Danmoli, this city can be called simple and backward. The buildings are mainly made of wood and bamboo, and the style is simple and the style is very different from the buildings in Danmoli.
From this city and the buildings in the city, you can see that this place is still in a wilderness and backward position, far less than their Peacock Kingdom. It seems that it is the Buddha's will that they have to spread Buddhism to these ignorant barbarians and free them from ignorance.
The people in the city were also as thin as those they had seen before, with a little dark skin and a simple and rustic outfit.
They should have met the Qin people before, so they didn't pay much attention to the Qin people, but they all looked at them curiously.
Feeling the gazes from the people here, Master Moye and the monks gave back a smile. Some monks still recited a Buddhist scripture or two, but it was a pity that the people here were ignorant and did not understand the wisdom in this.
The leader named "Yezhuo" was very enthusiastic and invited them to the best and most prosperous building in the city. It should be the residence of the leader Yezhuo.
It is said to be the best and most luxurious, compared with other buildings here, if it is Hedanmolidi's building, it is only at an ordinary level.
There was a banquet where there were dishes that Master Moye and the monks had never seen before. There was no paste food. It seemed that the people here were far from them in terms of food.
If there is no fuzzy, it will be difficult for the Buddha to swallow even when he comes. Only fuzzy can fully exert the characteristics of the ingredients and perfectly present the deliciousness of the food to others. A place where you can't make mushy food is definitely a food desert!
Master Moye and the monks did not say much, and tasted these foods with a smile. Although they did not suit their taste, they were better than the dry food that filled their hunger on the way.
While eating and chatting, the leader Na Yezhuo looked at Master Moye and others and smiled and said, "I heard that the Qin Dynasty said that there is a country called 'Peacock', but I have never taken it seriously. I didn't expect that there is really a Peacock Kingdom in the world, and it is just west of our tribe. I wonder what the scenery of the Peacock Kingdom is?"
Gan Yu acted as the translator and transferred the leader Yezhuo to Master Moye.
When Master Moye heard this, he was asking him about the situation of the Peacock Kingdom. But he had to talk to the barbarian leader, and it might be beneficial for them to preach here.
After thinking for a moment, Master Moye smiled and said, "My Peacock Kingdom is a country with a great virtue. It has a vast territory, magnificent mountains and rivers, abundant resources, a land of thousands of miles, and a large number of people, and many people with great wisdom. Although the land is wide and many people are numerous, our people are all good at listening to the teachings of the Buddha!"
Speaking of this, Master Moye added: "The Buddha was once a great wise man in our country. He was originally the prince of Kapilava."
"However, the Buddha was born with great wisdom to overcome all worldly troubles and save the world from the sea of suffering. So he gave up his throne and became a monk to practice, and finally reached the fullness of enlightenment under the tree of Gayapipola."
"After the Buddha was fully awakened, he passed on his wisdom to the world. It has been more than 300 years since then. The great wise king Ashoka is also a believer in my Buddhists. In his early years, King Ashoka killed countless people in order to unify our country. When he conquered the Jielingjia Kingdom forty years ago, 150,000 people were captured, 100,000 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands were injured. He was the 'Black Ashoka'."
"King Ashoka was also awakened by this massacre. Since then, he has listened to my Buddhist scriptures and used his power to spread the wisdom of my Buddha to the world. This is the 'Bai Ashoka'. It is precisely because of the actions of Ashoka that our country has become a country of best now!"
This Buddhist monk named "Master Moye" is obviously bragging to them how strong and beautiful their country is!
In the eyes of Yezhuo and the Yueshang tribe who participated in the banquet, King Tina Ashoka was actually demonstrating the strength of their country: Don’t underestimate us, our Peacock Kingdom once killed and injured hundreds of thousands in a battle, and it’s so powerful!
As for what kind of character and good nature is mentioned, it is directly ignored by Yezhuo and others. If a country has good nature and good nature, it will sooner or later be placed on the chopping board.
But why did Master Mo Ye have the nerve to brag about being very strong in front of the Qin people?
I don’t know that the Qin Dynasty in the north has been fighting for hundreds of years, and so many countries have been destroyed, so far, only the Qin Dynasty is left. I heard that the Qin Dynasty and the Zhao State had a war, and hundreds of thousands of Zhao people were killed in one battle.
You Peacock Kingdom dare to show off your achievements in front of the Qin people. Do you know how cruel the Qin people fought?
