Your Highness, what conditions do you want to put forward?"
an old monk asked.
"Don't worry, the conditions I mentioned will only benefit you."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Please give your Royal Highness a clear explanation."
An old monk said.
"Don't you think that there are many religions in Uzbekistan and the people have different beliefs, which is not conducive to unity?"
Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
Forehead……
They are Uzang people, so they naturally know this. At the same time, because they are one of the sects, they are also competing with other sects!
Which sect has more believers will have a greater say in Uzang. This is indeed not conducive to unity, but is there any good solution?
"Your Highness, do you want us to attack other sects and destroy them?"
The Holy Son said in a deep voice.
"Haha! That's not what I mean. I hope you can continue to expand your power and suppress other sects!"
"It would be best if there is only one sect of yours in Uzang from now on. The other sects can exist, but the number of believers must be very small!"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
hiss!
After hearing this, the old monk and others not only took a breath of air, but said: "Your Highness, we are afraid that we cannot do this!"
"Our abilities are limited, and to be honest, our strength is not the strongest among many sects, and is even the weakest!"
"This time I came to the Ming Dynasty just to get some cotton-padded clothes for the common people. With these cotton-padded clothes, our number of believers should increase!"
The Holy Son also said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, you are a great sage. You should be able to understand that people are more important than anything else. Please help us!"
hehe!
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said: "I have helped you, who will help me?"
"Besides, if you want to increase your followers, you need some means. I can help you, it depends on whether you are willing to accept it!"
"Your Highness, please give me some quotes!"
An old monk became interested.
"It's very simple, that's building roads!"
Lin Fan said.
"Building roads?
Your Highness, our Uzang tribe has winding and winding mountain roads. If we want to build roads, we won’t be able to build them in ten or eight years!”
"Besides, building roads costs money, and we don't have that much money on hand. If the Ming Dynasty is willing to provide a batch of money, we can also build roads!"
Although the old monk and others don't understand how road construction has anything to do with their increase in followers, it would be a good thing if someone can provide money to help them build a wide road.
"Haha! What are you thinking?
I discovered that you are just thinking about some good things every day, building a road, and you want others to fund the construction for you?"
“Are so many of your believers vegetarians?
Let’s start a work-for-relief program, and anyone who participates in road construction can get a cotton coat!”
"Moreover, they have one meal a day, but you have to work hard to build roads. Those who don't work hard will not get a meal!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
“Relief for work!”
"Only one meal a day!"
"No! Your Highness, you just said that everyone who participates in road construction can get a cotton-padded coat. This means that the cotton-padded clothes are not subsidized for us, but are the wages of the workers!"
"Your Highness, it's unethical to do this. Those people are already suffering a lot. For a piece of cotton-padded clothes, you have to participate in road construction. This! It goes against the teachings of our religion!"
The old monks said solemnly.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes at a few people and said, "Why do you violate the teachings of your sect?
Moreover, if this road is built, who will it be used for?
Isn’t it just for you people in Uszang?”
"Once the road is repaired, merchants' trade will be much faster, and the transportation of various materials will also be faster. You Wusuzang will never be in such a dilemma again in the future!"
"And, I promise, as long as the road is repaired, the people of Uzang will soon become rich!"
"Your Highness, I would like to know what the relationship between road construction and the increase of followers in our religion is."
The Holy Son asked.
"I don't know what the specific teachings of your sect are, but I know something about it. Only by enduring hardship in this life can you enjoy happiness in the next life, right?"
"In this case, you should let them build roads. This is called hardship, but it can also benefit one party. They will be happier in the next life!"
"In this way, the people's faith in Uzang will be satisfied, and they will devote themselves to road construction!"
Lin Fan said.
Forehead……
The old monks were speechless by Lin Fan, because their teachings were really like this: if you practice hard in this life, you can gain eternal happiness in the next life!
However, the penance here is not road building, but road building is also a kind of penance. This is not a change in their doctrine, but a change in the way the believers practice.
"Your Highness, you have prepared 200,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes. Do you want these 200,000 people to build roads?"
The Holy Son said in a deep voice.
"Of course not all of them are like that. Some people have families with them. As long as the adults come to build roads, the children can also get a cotton coat."
Lin Fan said.
Calculated this way, hundreds of thousands of people will be needed to build roads!
The face of the Holy Son was wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people worked together to build the road. It would only take ten days to build a considerable road. This prince was indeed no ordinary person!
However, the road has been repaired, which is indeed a great thing for the people of Uzang. However, it is not so easy to mobilize so many people.
"Your Highness, we have agreed to build the road. However, I am not so sure about how to mobilize so many people!"
The Holy Son said in a deep voice.
"You just need to tell all believers that as long as they participate in road construction, they can have cotton clothes to wear and food to eat. I believe they will make the right choice!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Okay! When can His Royal Highness deliver the cotton clothes and food to us?"
At this time, the Holy Son no longer thought about the conditions proposed by the old monks just now!
This prince obviously won't let them take advantage of him. If he still wants to get the gold, silver and wood, just wait until the terms are raised.
Lin Fan looked at the Holy Son and did not expect that this little girl, despite her young age, saw things very clearly and was not greedy.
"Cotton clothes and food were given to the two hundred thousand people after they had worked. Naturally, I sent people to escort them there, supervised their work, and then distributed them?"
"how?
Do you want me to give you the supplies, have you supervise them, and then distribute them to them?"
Lin Fan looked at Shengzi and others with confusion on his face.
