Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Eighth brother, although we can't believe all the theories about ghosts and gods, we have to believe it. We are revising other people's teachings here in Tianzhu. What if we really offend the local gods?" A magnificent building  In the palace, Li Yun said to Li Zhen in front of him with a wry smile. Although he was also involved in reforming Brahmanism, he was really worried. After all, he was still somewhat afraid of ghosts and gods.  .  [This article comes from ]

    However, Li Zhen, who was wearing royal robes, said nonchalantly: "Brother Qi, you are too cowardly. I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Besides, the Brahmanism here in Tianzhu is already weak. If we can successfully unify the Tianzhu continent,  , Brahmins will definitely prosper again in the future, so if those three main gods really exist, I am afraid they will only express their gratitude to us, and it is best to send a few goddesses to our brothers to have a taste!"

    When Li Zhen finished speaking, her face was full of lustful expressions. Speaking of which, the gods of Brahmanism are not like the gods of the Central Plains religion who do not eat the fireworks of the world. Instead, each one has its own desires and shortcomings, especially some goddesses.  They are even more romantic. In many myths and stories, there are legends about them having affairs with other male gods.

    In order to become better qualified magic sticks, Li Zhen and Li Yun had to read many Brahman books. However, the more they read, the less Li Zhen had any respect for the gods of Brahmanism.  , because in his opinion, these so-called gods are actually similar to humans, especially some goddesses, if placed in the Central Plains, they would be simply sluts, so he said the above ridiculing words to the goddesses.

    Li Yun also smiled after hearing this. If he had not left the Central Plains, he really would not have thought that Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, would actually worship Brahman gods?  But it's really amazing to say that he and Li Zhen have now become the incarnations of gods.  Moreover, it was spread everywhere by a group of Brahmins. If this kind of thing were placed in the Central Plains, people would probably have read a book about it, saying that they were deceiving the public with their evil words.

    "Seventh brother, religion is just a tool of rule in our hands. Don't take it too seriously. How is the situation in the country now? Have various industries returned to normal?" Li Zhen asked at this time.  Now he and Li Yun divide responsibilities and cooperate, among which Li Yun is in charge of government affairs.  Domestic industry and agriculture were restored, while Li Zhen was in charge of the military and foreign military expansion. As for religion, the two of them jointly managed it.

    When talking about political affairs, Li Yun immediately said with a serious face: "Although the Chola Kingdom is not large, it is located in a coastal area and the land is quite fertile. In addition, the planting methods in this area are also relatively sophisticated, so the grain output is  It¡¯s very good. Agriculture has been restored now. I believe that when the food harvest is good, we will be able to be self-sufficient in food. We don¡¯t have to ask Brother Six to send food all the way!"

    At this point, Li Yun paused for a moment, and then continued: "But food is only one aspect. If we want to expand, food alone is not enough. We must have money in our hands, and the main income of the previous Chola Kingdom was from the capital.  As well as the tax revenue of the two port cities of Sangla City. So I think we should learn from Liu Ge and re-plan the two port cities. Make them one of the big ports in South Tianzhu. I believe that as long as these two cities develop  , we also have a stable source of tax revenue in our hands."

    However, Li Zhen was obviously not interested in these economic aspects, so after hearing this, he waved his hands and said: "The development of these domestic developments depends on you, Seventh Brother. I am now recruiting local people and plan to form a protective army to carry out religious missions."  Under the banner of the People's Liberation Army, whoever dares not to believe in our new Brahmin in the surrounding countries will be conquered by us. However, with the establishment of this army, I am afraid that more food and materials will need to be consumed!"

    "You can summon a skitarii, but there must be a limit on the number. With the current situation, we can only support a skitarii of about 30,000 people at most. If there is more, we will have to borrow money from Brother Six!"  Li Yun smiled bitterly after hearing this.

    Speaking of which, Li Zhen was a war maniac and was also very talented in the military, but he didn't like political affairs very much, so Li Yun naturally took care of everything. As a result, Li Zhen is now focused on expansion, and nothing else  Regardless, Li Yun is responsible for the management and development of the ruling area, and even the logistical supplies of the army. It can be said that he is much more tired than Li Zhen.

    "Don't worry, 30,000 people are enough. Several small countries around us tried to jointly attack us last time. As a result, they were rushed to pieces by our prairie cavalry. Everyone was seriously injured. With the protection of these 30,000 people,  Jiajun, there will be no problem in capturing them!" Li Zhen said with a smile.  If it weren't for the lack of troops, he would have occupied the surrounding small countries after defeating the alliance of several countries. How could he have allowed them to survive until now?

    However, Li Yun smiled bitterly after hearing this, because after defeating those small countries, he would definitely be very busy again. Not to mention anything else, just re-dividing and managing the administrative regions of various places would be enough to make people happy.  He was exhausted.But before Li Yun could complain, Li Zhen suddenly spoke again: "Seventh brother, although the territory we have conquered in Tianzhu is not big, at least we have established a firm foothold, and the promotion of the new Brahmanism has made us two popes.  , but the word 'emperor' is a bit unworthy of its name. Do you think it's time for us to establish a country?"

    When Li Yun heard the word 'establish a country', his whole body was shocked, and a fiery look flashed in his eyes, but then his expression darkened, and he sighed: "Eighth brother, isn't it too early to establish a country?  Point, and look at Sixth Brother, he has established such a large territory overseas, hasn¡¯t he also not established a country?¡±

    Li Zhen also sighed after hearing this. Speaking of which, they and Li Min had become independent from the Tang Dynasty. Although they had their own titles in the past, such as Li Min's King Qi, Li Yun's King Jiang, and Li Zhen's own  King of Yue, but these titles are all within the Tang Dynasty. After they became independent, although these titles can still be used, it is best to establish their own country to win the hearts of their subordinates.  But I don¡¯t know what Li Min is thinking. He hasn¡¯t established a country yet, and he is still using the name of Prince Qi¡¯s Palace. This makes the two younger brothers dare not establish a country overseas, so they can only live under the name of a pope.  Get addicted.

    "Seventh Brother, please discuss with Sixth Brother and let him take the lead in establishing a country overseas. After all, we don't have any foundation in Tianzhu. If we can't go overseas in the name of the country, it will always feel a bit unfair.  Shun, you may not be able to see anything now, but it will definitely have an impact on future expansion." Li Zhen finally said with some reluctance.

    After hearing this, Li Yun thought about it for a while, and then slowly said: "Sixth brother must have considered his father's side. After all, as long as sixth brother does not establish a country for a day, then he will be a minister of the Tang Dynasty in name. In this way,  In the future, there will not be much obstacles with the Tang Dynasty. For example, there will not be many objections to things like relocating the population. But as long as Liu Ge establishes a country, it will be two countries with the Tang Dynasty.  In the future exchanges between the two countries, we are likely to encounter many obstacles. I am afraid that this is Brother Six¡¯s true intention of never establishing a country!¡±

    After hearing this, Li Zhen looked solemn and said slowly: "Brother Qi has figured it out. We are still renting our father's firearms unit. Although it is rented in name, it is actually given to us for free. But if we build a country  If so, then the ministers in the DPRK will definitely criticize this matter. When the time comes, under the pressure of the DPRK, my father will probably charge a certain fee even if he does not take back the firearms troops. This is not a good thing.  ah!"

    At this time, Li Yun also continued: "Yes, we need money everywhere now, and it would be good to save a little. In addition, the establishment of the country is not very urgent for the time being. Let's take it slow first, and then discuss it with Sixth Brother  Take a breath and see what he means?"

    Li Zhen also nodded after hearing this, and it seemed that this was all she could do.

    When the letters from Li Zhen and Li Yun were delivered to Li Min, Li Min couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why didn't he know the importance of the founding of the country? But since he started developing overseas, he had been trying his best to avoid this.  Question, because he has not yet figured out how to get along with the Tang Dynasty after the founding of the country?  What kind of relationship should we have with each other?  If a conflict occurs, how should it be handled?  All these problems may have been caused by the founding of the country, which is why Li Min has been giving orders in the name of Prince Qi's palace. Even though people like Lu Qing and Su Dingfang below proposed several times, they were all suppressed by Li Min.

    The above is relatively abstract. For example, to give a simple example, if Li Min founded a country, should he be called king or emperor?  This is not just a matter of title, but also related to the relationship with the Tang Dynasty in the future. For example, if he is crowned king, it will be equivalent to Li Min considering himself a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, he will also become a vassal to the Tang Dynasty like other countries in the Western Regions.  .

    And if he is proclaimed emperor, it will be equivalent to being on an equal footing with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The two countries have an equal relationship. However, with the egocentric mentality of the Central Plains Dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that after Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty will treat Li Min.  countries become hostile.  Even Li Shimin may feel uncomfortable, which will directly affect the father-friend relationship between Li Min and Datang.

    It is also worth mentioning that when Wen Xin gave birth to their eldest son two years ago, Li Min asked Li Shimin to give him a name. As a result, Li Shimin actually gave him the word "Mian". This word has extraordinary significance. It refers to  It is the emperor's ceremonial crown, and most people would not dare to use this word as a name.

    It¡¯s just that Li Min has been unsure. Should Li Shimin let him proclaim himself emperor, or let his son proclaim himself emperor in the future?  There was a gap of several decades, and since this kind of thing couldn't be asked explicitly, Li Min simply pretended that it never happened.

    Thinking about all the aspects involved in founding a country, Li Min couldn't help but feel a headache in the end. Finally, he simply threw away the letters from Li Zhen and Li Yun. Lu Wan and the others' sea trial was almost over, so he still wanted to explore"It's about the American route!"
