Chapter 149 When I am at the extreme of ignorance

Before coming to Uszang, Han Lingshan thought he would need to spend some effort to mobilize the poor people here and finally achieve the purpose of expelling local tyrants and evil gentry.

After coming to Uszang to carry out his work, Hanlingshan keenly discovered that it was impossible to let the people here spontaneously and consciously complete social reforms.

If the poor in the Ming Dynasty lived a tragic life without food, then the poor in Uszang lived a life that was not human at all, and the lives they lived were not even affected by the miserable side.

A miserable life must at least have life before it will be miserable, and they - there is no so-called life at all.

The land on the plateau is vast and there seems to be countless lands, but 30% of the land here belongs to officials, 30% of the aristocrats, and the remaining 40% belongs to temples.

As for the civilians, they have nothing.

In other words, there are no so-called civilians in the entire Uszang.

The social class composition here is extremely simple - monks, nobles, and slaves, without intermediate classes.

There is no room for civilians to survive here.

In the Ming Dynasty, the people at least had the power to be angry and to resist. Just as Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, and Yun Zhao did, there was no way to survive, and people still resisted by force and demanded the reallocation of social resources.

This power was not given by anyone, but the power born to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In Uszang, people have only heard of individual resistance incidents, but rarely heard of large-scale serf uprisings. This is not surprising, because the pressure on Uszang's serfs and herdsmen are too great.

The government and nobles rule their bodies, while the monks and priests rule their souls. In other words, after more than two thousand years of evolution, the nobles, officials and monks here have formed a strict set of techniques that can firmly tie serfs and herds slaves to the bottom.

The divine power entangled with secular power, depriving all the power that serfs and herdsmen should have enjoyed.

If a person does not read or knows words, he will not be able to absorb the life wisdom left by his ancestors. In Uszang, monks and nobles, they have completely mastered the power of reading.

The serfs and herdsmen at the bottom were born as white paper that could be painted at will by these monks and nobles.

They told these serfs and herdsmen that all the sufferings they suffered in this life were caused by the evils they committed in their previous life, and that they needed to constantly work for the monks and nobles in this life to atone for their sins.

After the sins are clear, you can live a good life for monks and nobles in your next life... Based on this principle, monks and nobles who live a good life are actually serfs and shepherd slaves who suffered in their previous life.

Anyone who has been instilled with such a theory since childhood will remain firm in his belief in it even if he is a person with a strong will.

After all, serfs and herdsmen always have to put something in their empty heads.

The noble monks fundamentally completed the final transformation of the serfs and herdsmen.

People have transformed Uszang so completely and thoroughly, and Hanlingshan's theory cannot be filled with the heads of the serfs and herdsmen who have been filled with the theory of the afterlife.

In this case, what Han Lingshan has to do is to find a shining Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for this group of people oppressed in the darkest hell.

This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is Morigen's Great Living Buddha who had just taken away the two sapphires that should have been handed over to the treasury.

God’s affairs can only be solved by God, which is the easiest and most effective way.

Otherwise, the people of Uszang would not believe it or follow it if secular people like Hanlingshan do this.

The punishment here is too cruel. This cruelty is not the torture that only a very small number of people can enjoy in the Han area. The torture here is extremely common.

Disobedient? Then, there is no need for the ear to exist and it needs to be cut off!

Stealing something? Then, there is no need for these hands to exist, cut them off!

Escape? Only those with legs can escape. If you chop off your legs, it will be perfect and he will have no way to run away.

What? You angered the landlord? You need to peel it. Only by letting the landlord listen to the wonderful music produced by the hand drum made with your human skin can the landlord's anger be calmed.

As for dungeons, water prisons, whippings, and sticks, they are used to deal with servants with slightly higher mindsets. The methods of dealing with the lowest serfs, herd slaves, and Uszang nobles are often simple and crude.

When people cannot be treated as human beings, it is natural to rebel and uprisings become a matter of course. However, after people in Uszang endure hardships that are far beyond hell, they will fantasize about having a happy life in the next life...

The people here are slaves from spirit to body!

When Sun Guoxin came to the construction site, he was as bright as a sun.

Because tens of thousands of slaves hired by Han Lingshan from the nobles crawled on the ground the moment they saw Sun Guoxin, so that Sun Guoxin had no way to go to the construction site to speak.

Sun Guoxin, who was commonplace in this scene, stepped straight on the bodies of these slaves and walked towards the high platform step by step.

He came to the platform and sat cross-legged, and said with the kindest smile to the slave crawling at his feet: "You have redeemed your sins, and from then on, your bodies will only belong to you..."

The slaves crawling at their feet looked at Sun Guoxin's bright sunny face in disbelief and did not speak for a long time.

Sun Guoxin's voice was not high, his words were not very sensational, and his tone was calm, as if he was narrating an ordinary thing.

"The Living Buddha said I don't need to atone for my sins?"

"The Living Buddha said that the hardship I suffered has come to an end?"

"The Living Buddha said I am no longer a slave?"

"Balayong Living Buddha said that I was an unforgivable robber in my previous life..."

"Balayong is a lower-class living Buddha, and Morigen is a great living Buddha."

The sound waves spread among the crowd and gradually became noisy. Sun Guoxin stood up with a smile, like an oracle falling off the platform. This time he did not step on the bodies of these slaves, and every foot fell into the gap between people, and finally left.

Han Lingshan watched Sun Guoxin walk towards him, and said with a smile: "Sapphire, please ask you to hand over to the national treasury. When you have time in the future, you can go to Your Majesty's treasure house, where more wisdom is waiting for you."

Sun Guoxin smiled and said, "You became the largest slave owner in Lhasa in an instant. What are you going to do next?"

Han Lingshan laughed and said, "Taking my Lantian a thousand tigers as the blade, and using more than 10,000 Us Tibetans as the long swords, we control Lhasa and kill the guilty officials, nobles and monks here."

Sun Guoxin said: "You can't get into the Potala Palace."

Han Lingshan said: "I brought 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder this time, and there is no reason not to enter. Besides, it is already dilapidated. I plan to build the White House and the Red Palace here again. I want to build a new Uszang."

Sun Guoxin frowned and said, "There will be a group of people who will attack him."

Han Lingshan sneered: "If you don't destroy this messy world and reshape it, how can you make the people here truly look up to me, Lantian?"

"Your Majesty said, Awang Living Buddha should not be moved lightly."

"Then send him to Yushan."

"Your Majesty also said that it is your expertise to fool people, but you should not be casual."

"Then let Your Majesty tell His Majesty that Han Lingshan only asks about the results of his work, not the process."

"Your approach is contrary to His Majesty's idea."

"I will not accept the orders of the Lord!"

"Your Majesty is very stingy. He doesn't like your remarks."

"Your Majesty will understand me."

Sun Guoxin sighed and said, "Why don't you learn to understand Your Majesty? After all, all the things you do here will eventually fall on Your Majesty."

Han Lingshan laughed and said, "Your Majesty is a person who has not achieved his goal. As long as the result is good, he will scold me at most when he goes back. Could it be that over the years, I have been scolded by Your Majesty less?"

Sun Guoxin held Han Lingshan's hand and said, "Be careful."

After saying that, he left, leaving only a group of Uszang slaves who had already stood up, holding two sapphires in his hand, like the demon king of hell.

The slaves began to continue working and continued to beat the ground with hammers. I don’t know why, but this time the hammer’s action of hitting the ground was uniform.

During dinner in the evening, the slaves were surprised to find that the butter in the wooden bowl where they had tsampa was large.

This is human treatment...

"I should drink some yak milk."

"I also want to eat jerky. The last time I saw Kang Ze's house, I saw so many yak jerky."

"I really want to drink butter tea!"

"There are many in Kang Ze's family. Their maids even dumped out the unfinished butter tea."

"I heard that the hostess of Kang Ze's family are very beautiful?"

"Which lady are you talking about?"

"Do they have many wives?"

"So many, so many things won't be too busy for Kang Ze!"

"Where is the Kangze family's fort?"

A Uszang slave stood up, held his wooden bowl and pointed at a large fort at the foot of the mountain and said, "It's there! But, they have many warriors!"

"It's okay, let's go tonight..."

A thin man with a Han-like appearance had long been mixed in the crowd. Seeing that everyone was already salivating at the beauty of Kang Ze's family, yaks and butter tea, he pretended to be mysterious: "I heard from the entourage of Mo Rigen Living Buddha that Kang Ze has done too many bad things, and the gods are about to punish him. It is said that it is the most terrifying thunder method."

"Oh, thunder, can you blow up the wall of the castle?"

"This is certain. You must know that Morigen Living Buddha has made great efforts. He used the thunder method to blew a mountain for herders on the grassland, and also used the thunder method to blew the earth and exposed clear springs for herders.

Do you know about Yongzhebu Mountain? In the past, because it blocked people's path, Morigen Living Buddha drove the road to Luba and Na Mountain with a whip of a hundred feet long, and it became Gemini Mountain!"

"Oh, let's wait for Leifa to explode the castle?"

"Yes, I want to eat less and leave some stomach to go to Kangze's house to eat yak jerky!"
