Of course Zhao Huan knew what Suryavarman was building.

As for Angkor Wat, it was built in the second year of his political career and was not completed until the second year of Jingkang's reign. It took a total of more than ninety years to complete the construction, and it was not completed until several decades after Suryavarman, the unlucky boy, died.

When completed, it was later called the National Treasure of Cambodia and is the largest temple-like building in the world.

But knowing that you know, you can't let Zhao Huan say that he read it in history books in his previous life, right? Therefore, you still have to ask what you should ask, and you still have to go through the process that should be followed.

Sure enough, Suryavarman replied: "I would like to report to His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, that what the foreign ministers built was not only a palace, but also a temple, and it was also a burial ground left for him by the foreign ministers. It's just that the Chenla Kingdom has a small population and a small country.

There are not many talents, so from..."

At this point, Suryavarman suddenly got stuck. He simply counted it several times with his fingers, and then continued: "From the second year of Zhenghe to the present, I have been practicing for sixteen years. To be honest, Song Guo

Your Majesty, the Great Emperor, since a few years ago, Chenla's treasury has been unable to make ends meet, and the palace has been under construction."

Zhao Huan grunted and said: "If this palace is used for living, there is no need to build it so big. After death, it only covers an area of ​​three feet, so what use will the palace be, no matter how grand it is?"

"If it is to worship the Buddha, then there is no need. If the Buddha is in the heart, the Buddha is everywhere. If the Buddha is not in the heart, no matter how gorgeous the palace is, you may not be able to see the real Buddha."

"The Buddha is in the heart? The Buddha is in the heart?"

As if someone had given him a slap on the head, Suryavarman repeated the words "Buddha is in his heart" several times. Suddenly he bowed respectfully to Zhao Huan and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, has great power."

Wisdom is beyond the reach of ministers."

Zhao Huan nodded, smiled and said nothing - these people who believe in Buddhism, if you tell them a few words about "Buddha is in the heart, there is no mirror, there is no platform", these people will be able to understand the principles of Buddhism!

Seeing that Suryavarman had already taken the initiative to set up crutches, Zhao Huan immediately increased his firepower output based on the principle that if he didn't sell his wheelchair, it wouldn't be considered a big scam.

"Since you believe in Buddhism, you should know that Buddhism has Mahayana and Hinayana theories."

"A person who believes in Buddhism is only cultivating his own body. No matter how brave and diligent he is, he can't escape the scope of Hinayana Buddhism. In the end, he may not be able to see the true Buddha."

"In that case, why not spread the world's people?"

"I want to build a straight road from Yongzhou to Shenglong."

"If this straight road is built, merchants all over the world will benefit from it, and people all over the world will benefit from it. It will be more than building palaces."

Then Suryavarman threw away his crutches and took the initiative to sit in a wheelchair.

"What His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty said is true. I have little knowledge and do not know many of these truths. Now that I have received guidance from an official, I am really grateful."

But, as soon as these feet left the ground, the clever IQ reoccupied the high ground - Suryavarman was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge, but I can't think of how the people can benefit from it?

"

Zhao Huan smiled and shook his head and said: "You might as well think carefully, will it require manpower and material resources to build the straight road? Will the people get wages? Will the merchants be able to sell their goods?"

"Originally, we could only transport a hundred kilograms of goods at a time. Now that we have a straight road, we may be able to transport three hundred kilograms or five hundred kilograms. If the quantity is large, things will naturally become cheaper. Are the people who originally wanted to buy but can't afford it?

Can you afford it? Does this count as a benefit to the people?"

"The world's wealth is exchanged, the common people benefit, the merchants benefit, how can the court not benefit from it? Don't you hear that wealth is hidden among the people?"

After much thought, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Suryavarman, who was in a wheelchair, simply took off his watch and asked tentatively: "If I also want to build a straight road from Angkor to Thang Long, so that Angkor can

The people will also get some benefits, but I wonder if His Majesty, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, will agree to it?"

This guy is so sensible and heart-warming!

Zhao Huan sighed in his heart, but his smile was as bright as a flower.

"You can have this kind of intention. It's too late for me to be happy, so how can you stop me and refuse to allow it?"

"Well, since you can take the initiative to seize Hong Zhen and Xu Baixiang and offer them to me, I will repair the straight road from Thang Long to the border of Angkor, and then send a master craftsman to point out the straight road on the Angkor side.

How to build it, how?"

Suryavarman couldn't help but want to lie on the stretcher——

If we just build a straight road from Angkor to the Greater... Cochin border, it will be of no use to Angkor - the benefits that the people of Angkor can get are limited, which means that the benefits that I, the King of Angkor, get

Also limited.

His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty promised to build a straight road from Thang Long to the border of Angkor, and specially sent a master craftsman to give guidance to Angkor. This means that the merchants and people of Angkor can enjoy the benefits of the straight road.

Brother Wang will definitely get more benefits!

As for whether His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, was thinking about Angkor?

Don't be ridiculous. He is the lord of the world who is rich all over the world. As the King of Angkor, he still needs the canonization of His Majesty the Great Emperor of Song Dynasty. As for why he is thinking about Angkor, a barbaric land with no shit?

Or to take a step back, even if His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, is thinking about Angkor, that's good. He just needs to lower the flag and disband the army early, and he won't resort to any tricks like stealing sheep. He can just pull the strings.

What kind of album of mountains and rivers is dedicated to His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty? Could it be that this old man could still treat me badly?

What a piece of shit the King of Angkor is? What's so rare about the little power in his hands? Isn't he comfortable going to heaven to enjoy life?

Thinking of this, Suryavarman was no longer satisfied with the wheelchair, and even couldn't wait to get on the stretcher.

After thinking about it for a while, Suryavarman said coquettishly: "I would like to address His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I have another unkind request, please accept it."

Zhao Huan hummed and said, "If you have any requests, you might as well tell me."

Suryavarman bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, would like to send some people to the Song Dynasty so that they can go to the capital of the Song Dynasty to broaden their horizons and see the scenery of the Celestial Dynasty?"

Zhao Huan chuckled and said, "Are you sending an envoy to the Song Dynasty?"

Seeing Suryavarman nodding, Zhao Huan said: "Since you have this intention, there is no reason for me to stop you. Well, you can choose five hundred scholars from Angkor to come to Bianjing.

I will naturally ask someone to make arrangements for them, and let them study in Guozixue when the time comes. How about that?"
Chapter completed!
