Chapter 135 Ling Chen's Faction Mission (1)

That night, Ling Chen dug up enough information from Baolai before letting the other party leave. He considered the information leaked with Baolai and believed that the reliability was relatively high. After all, in this battle world, the other party had to rely on the 500 people he had loaned to complete hidden tasks to make up for the losses of giving up the camp mission.

He watched Bora take people away in the morning sun at dawn, and went back to study how to get the highest evaluation of his camp mission.

Wang Hao also left his temple the next day, but he didn't care. The two of them were evenly matched now and they could not do anything to each other. Bao came from Bao Wuyou. After seeing that he could not do anything to each other, Wang Hao must understand his intention. However, Ling Chen expected that Wang Hao would not dare to attack in this world, otherwise the five hundred people who lent him would not obey his orders anymore. In that case, even if Wang Hao defeated Ling Chen, it would be a bargain.

Ling Chen had long made these calculations clear, and the facts also developed in this way.

When Wang Hao found out that there were 500 more people in Baolai, he was furious, but after thinking about it, he did not pursue or cause trouble for Ling Chen. He returned to the grassland like this. He had to go back to the Han army led by another hundred people to complete the important task of sweeping the grassland.

After Wang Hao retreated, Baolai did not return to the grassland, but ran all the way westward and towards the Western Regions. The hidden task he discovered was in the West.

Of course, Ling Chen did not have the energy to care about what the two of them did. After this wave of gains, he had to focus all his energy on how to complete his camp tasks.

His identity is a monk. His camp task is to "eliminate the threat of nomadic civilization to farming civilization." He is not clear about Wang Hao's camp task, but Baolai's camp task told him. "The establishment of a nomadic empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa has occupied a territory and degree of prosperity, which affects the final evaluation coefficient."

Moreover, Baolai also clearly told him that he had two chances to complete the camp mission, which allowed him to guess why Wang Hao was so urgent before and told him how to enter the gate of civilization. Regarding this method, he obtained Baolai's verification, but the other party did not lie. Of course, Ling Chen believed that this was because the other party could not do anything.

He could easily guess that Wang Hao, who had always entered this battle world alone, had been relatively smooth, so he was not sure about the upper limit of the three missions. There were other people under Baolai who entered, and there were many people. Some people must have received this prompt in advance after failing a few times.

This also made him understand that because Wang Hao was unwilling to cause trouble, the two were in the same camp and belonged to the farming nation. If they took action against him, it would affect the completion of the final task.

Combining Baolai and his camp tasks, it is not difficult for him to infer that Wang Hao's camp tasks are to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty, eliminate the threat of nomadic civilization, and be essentially consistent with him.

If Ling Chen thinks about these things clearly, he will be able to implement his plan with confidence without having to worry about Wang Hao coming to disturb his actions at all times.

The religion he pursues now is Buddhism. Obviously, the further it promotes it, the more it helps the final plan. However, although Buddhism is good, like all religions, it has limitations. Although monks say it is begging for food, in fact, many people rely on their own labor to make a living in poor temples, at least there are many people who grow vegetables and grain in temples.

However, this is not reflected in the meaning of the scriptures, which leads to the impression that the Buddhist squanders the young and strong labor force, but does not pay taxes, and requires ordinary people to provide support. This is the root of the repeated movements of ancient dynasties to destroy Buddhism, and it is also the fundamental reason for the loss of national strength once Buddhism is prevalent. Any orthodox dynasty must strictly control the number of monks in temples. Dining is not easy to obtain, and the legal identity of a monk cannot be obtained by saying "I want to become a monk" on TV. You can believe it, but if you want to become a monk, you will go through several reviews first.

So he had to start from this first. Religions in the world are difficult to bring about the prosperity of material wealth. Buddhism often gives people the impression of being content with poverty, looking forward to the next life, and looking down on material wealth. Although these can maintain social stability, they also bring about great negative effects. Perhaps some Buddhists will argue that the true doctrine is not like this, but in fact, the first impression that many ignorant people get is like this. Of course, other religions also have no superiority in this regard. After all, religion manages the soul and is a shortcoming in the creation of material wealth.

Many monks are also scientists and explorers of nature. Buddhism can also do this. Religion and science are not simply superficial conflicts, but the difference between spiritual and non-spiritual. Many people also have faith while studying science, and there is no conflict on a long road.

Ling Chen is not ready to make a complete change. Buddhism has good points and inherent flaws accumulated over a long period of time. He is ready to gradually correct the meaning of Buddhist scriptures. In fact, there are countless schools of Buddhism, which obviously shows that it is not a static thing. Change is the right way, and rigidity is just a dead end.

The first thing he wanted to reform was to ask monks to abandon begging for food and give up offerings from ordinary people. Although the original meaning of begging for alms was to let monks experience the sufferings of the world, practice the inner world, and make connections with people, there were all kinds of high-end statements, but the fact was to eat for nothing. This led to the enlightened dynasties in the past dynasties strictly controlling the number of monks. No matter how good the skills were, the shrewd rulers knew that there were too many people who ate the rice, and no matter how much food and cloth were, they were not enough.

He said in **, "If you want to save others, you should first save yourself. If you want to save your heart, you should first save your body. Only clothes can cover your body, food can fill your abdomen, medicine can cure yourself, and stay warm. Only those who can be self-sufficient can save your body."

Those who support his reforms like this were of course the 10,000 intelligent replicas he brought in. They were completely obeying his orders, and were invincible warriors on the battlefield, wearing monk's robe, and becoming unparalleled masters of unparalleled debate.

This first reform is the core of everything. Only in this way can he truly give the sect the ability to generate wealth and the material basis for implementing other reforms. Otherwise, he would rely only on the donation of secular regimes and the offerings of believers. He would seem to be able to get something for nothing, but he lost the roots and had no foundation.

It is conceivable that when he implemented this reform in his Chongming Temple, he would encounter many obstacles. Fortunately, he had force support. Although Buddhism emphasizes compassion, it also has Vajra guardians. Tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry can be driven away by him, let alone those ordinary indigenous monks.

In less than a month, monks began to work in person. In fact, for ordinary monks, this kind of work is not unfamiliar with ordinary monks. The various work in temples is actually very heavy. They carry water, chop wood, and clean the courtyard. Only a few people can simply recite scriptures and worship Buddha.

Now we just choose monks to take turns to cultivate crops. The temple has its own private land and many have not been reclaimed. In the past, they were rented to nearby villagers and no longer cared for them. They just collected annual rent and taxes. As for how they opened up the land themselves, it was their own business.
