"Buddhism."
Sun Quan and Diao Chan looked at each other and said,
"It's just a brick to attract good news. If you want to conquer Xiapi, you need the help of Buddhism. With this 'brick', it will naturally be easier to contact Buddhism when you get to Xiapi."
"Hey. Zhongmou, sometimes uncle, I really admire you. You see so far every step of the way." Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh. When his eyes were only looking at the surroundings of Huaiyin, Sun Quan had already started to focus on it. Xiapi, and even every step Sun Quan took, was in service of capturing Xiapi, and occupying Huaiyin might really be just a convenience to Sun Quan.
"But, in order to throw this brick, are we paying too much?" Wu Jing said with a wry smile. The halving of taxes is limited to the first hundred people who surrender. Even if this can be done privately, so that all the first hundred people are descendants of the noble clan, there will only be a hundred people in total. But as for Buddhist believers, there is no limit, it may be tens of millions. If you add in random fraud, it is equivalent to Sun Quan reducing the entire Huaiyin tax by 10%!
Sun Quan didn't care and smiled.
"Uncle, if you think about it this way, Huaiyin does not belong to us originally, so no matter how hard we work, it is all in vain for us. What we should consider is not how much we can earn from Huaiyin, but how stable it is. Catch Huaiyin in your hand. When everyone is thinking about fraud and how to reduce the tax, in fact, subconsciously, they have already acquiesced to our rule." Sun Quan said, "I can't bear to let the child be trapped. Wolf. Today's 10% tax may eventually be exchanged for Xiapi, or even the whole of Xuzhou!"
"Is Buddhism really that powerful?" Wu Jing couldn't believe it. After all, Buddhism is not widely spread in the Central Plains. Although people in other places have heard of it, they really don't understand it deeply, let alone believe in it.
"It's hard to say in other places, but in Xiapi, the power of Buddhism is so great! It's worth what we do." Sun Quan said with great certainty.
"Okay! Listen to you!" Wu Jing nodded heavily, "Whatever you say will be whatever you say now. I fully support any decision you make!"
The recent successive victories have given Wu Jing a lot of confidence, making him feel that he can go all out to support Sun Quan. Just like Sun Quan was willing to use such a huge benefit to attract others for the sake of Buddhism, Wu Jing was also willing to take advantage of Sun Quan and risk everything on him!
"Goodbye, uncle, I'm still a novice, and I need your guidance on many things. Don't think about being a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving everything to me, and going on your own leisurely." Sun Quan said quickly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wu Jing laughed on the spot and patted Sun Quan heavily on the shoulder.
"Okay! Okay! Good boy! Uncle, I will use this old bone to help you!"
Sun Quan could refuse the absolute military power in front of him. Such Sun Quan may be strange in the eyes of others, but in Wu Jing's view, this further proves that Sun Quan is extraordinary. Just like Sun Quan who captured Huaiyin, his eyes were always on Xiapi and the entire Xuzhou. Wu Jing believed that it was not that Sun Quan did not want his military power, but that Sun Quan did not like him. Yes, he just did not like him. , Sun Quan’s heart is in a higher and further place!
While several people were talking, soldiers suddenly came to report from outside.
Sun Quan and Wu Jing frowned at the same time. They suddenly came to report at this time. Could there be some trouble in Huaiyin City? Could it be that there are still Lu Bu's remaining members who are unwilling to surrender?
For a time, Sun Quan had already considered sending troops to suppress it immediately, but the result was unexpected.
"Report~~There is an eminent monk outside who wants to see you."
"this......"
Sun Quan, Wu Jing, and Diao Chan looked at each other in shock.
"Throwing bricks to attract jade, although the bricks are thrown out, the jade will not be attracted so quickly, right?" Sun Quan murmured, because he led the troops into the city and settled down along the way, which delayed a lot of time, so that now The time point has already exceeded the previous second illusion simulation, so Sun Quan did not know that such a situation would happen in advance.
"It's not a fake monk, is it?" Wu Jing couldn't help but say.
"Regardless of whether the monk is genuine or not, coming to the door at this time will inevitably make people think that he has ulterior motives." Diao Chan thought for a while and said. Most of the real eminent Buddhist monks are the kind who don't care about worldly affairs. Diao Chan always thought that she and Sun Quan would visit her sincerely, but she never thought that the other party would take the initiative to visit. Just like Wu Jing said, this is indeed suspected of fraud.
Would the visitor think that Sun Quan believed in Buddhism, so he came to ask for help, and became Sun Quan's guest from then on? If Sun Quan was really fooled, he might be able to trick Sun Quan into obeying his advice.
"What's the name of that eminent monk?" Sun Quan suddenly asked.
"He said his name was eminent monk." The soldier who came to report weakly replied.
"Uh..." Diao Chan's face suddenly stiffened.
Wu Jing next to him was even more furious,
"Come here for such an obvious liar! Just go and send him away!"
"etc."
Sun Quan suddenly stopped him and said hesitantly,
"This guy doesn't play by the rules, maybe it's true."
"Routine?" Wu Jing didn't understand.
Diao Chan thought for a while and then said,
"You mean, if this person really came to deceive people, wouldn't he not be prepared at all?"
"Then what if this person knew that you would think this way and did it deliberately?" Wu Jing couldn't help but ask. Although he was preconceived, he obviously still didn't believe that the person who came here would be a truly enlightened monk.
Sun Quan smiled carelessly,
"If he is really that powerful, then he should go and meet him. He is such a talented person who knows how to deceive people."
With that said, Sun Quan walked out first, apparently wanting to receive the eminent monk in person. Seeing this, Wu Jing could only follow him quickly.
When he came outside, Sun Quan saw an old monk surrounded by a group of people. He was wearing a cassock and had a kind face. He didn't know how old he was. His eyebrows had already turned gray, but he seemed to be full of energy. Well, the feeling given to Sun Quan is the same as the Shaolin abbot I saw on TV before.
Tsk tsk, with this temperament and appearance, it’s no wonder that the soldiers came in a hurry to report. Not only did he call himself a high monk, but even if he called himself a low monk, few people would dare to ignore him.
At this moment, Sun Quan's heart was not filled with the kind of joy that comes from sleeping on the pillow. To be honest, Sun Quan, like Wu Jing, had certain doubts about this so-called eminent monk. But this person was so "professional" that Sun Quan became very happy to see him. If he hadn't used the skill twice today, otherwise, Sun Quan would have used Sansi Illusion immediately to test such an eminent monk.
"I wonder what you call this eminent monk?" Sun Quan stepped forward and asked directly.
"Amitabha. The past has been abandoned long ago. If the donor wants to, just call the poor monk 'monk'." The old monk clasped his hands and said.
"Then where can the eminent monk go to practice Buddhism?" Sun Quan asked again.
"The poor monk has traveled all this way and has nowhere to go," the old monk replied.
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows. There was no name or place of work. There really was no such person.
