Chapter 317: Beginning to write a book, returning with a letter from the west (Ch 317)

[“You and me.”]
[“But there are still objections!”]
[“In that case, today we will officially unite and start a new journey.”]
[As Chen Huaixin finished his last sentence, no one dared to respond. Everyone bowed their heads and acknowledged the outcome. This also foreshadowed that Taoism, as the state religion, would usher in new changes in the future.]
【The representatives of the Taoists were left in Chang’an.】
[The Taoists who had previously thought highly of themselves left in disgrace.]
[“What are you going to do next?”]
[“I have done everything for you.”]
[“Next…”]
[“What do you want to do?”]
【Chen Huaixin looked at the Taoist leader.】
[“Write a book.”]
[“I will start writing down all the useful things, useful principles, useful thoughts, and useful spirits in Taoism today, and complete this final integration of Taoism.”]
[Hearing the other party say this, Chen Huaixin knew that his goal had been achieved. ]
【All previous preparations are for now. 】
[Only at this time, Taoism can be reformed and transformed into an orthodox state religion.]
【There are many schools of thought but they are not mixed. 】
【Thoughts are diverse but not chaotic.】
【The truth is profound and the teachings are everlasting. This is the true meaning. 】
[“Okay. It’s up to you.”]
[After explaining everything, Chen Huaixin left. ]
[The Taoist leader began to write books and went into seclusion.]
[Almost at the same time, the documents and information escorting the Buddhist migration to the west also returned to Chang’an.]
[“We’re finally here.”]
【Chen Huaixin has been waiting. 】
[Because the purpose of Buddhism going to India was not only to spread the Dharma, but also to integrate and deepen the Buddhist studies there and use Buddhism to influence India’s attitude towards Dayu. The experience along the way was also another purpose of his.]
[The strength of the elite cavalry is enough to scare many small countries along the border, and at the same time bring back their attitude. ]
[If you choose to cooperate, you can accept it later. ]
[If there is resistance or obstruction, then we can send troops. ]
[No matter what, there must be a deterrent effect along the way. ]
【But what surprised Chen Huaixin was. 】
[What came back were not only the letters, but also some envoys from foreign and small countries. ]
[Because the journey west would pass through their territory, and the elite cavalry of Yu Country had become the most influential business card, especially after the expedition to the grasslands and other foreign tribes, so they chose to take the initiative to show goodwill. ]
【“Your Majesty the Emperor of Yu Country.”】
[“We all agree and admire your decision to send Fuxi to study, and we are here today to express our gratitude.”]
[“In the future, we are willing to provide assistance and support to Yu Nation on its journey westward, and we hope to form an everlasting alliance.”]
[“That’s… very good.”]
【Chen Huaixin nodded with a smile.】
[As these small countries on the westward route began to be introduced, the sources of those merchants were not limited to the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor, and more small merchants also joined in. ]
[Trade promotion, Yuguo’s current products and economic influence began to spread radiatingly. ]
…
“This is even more efficient than the first time!”
Wang Qianhe was full of emotion.
Although I am the prime minister, I am not sure that I can come up with a plan that will kill three birds with one stone.
Although Chen Huaixin had decided to do this before, the effect was still unknown.
Especially every step after the journey to the west seemed almost like a destiny.
The departure of Buddhism did not happen overnight.
The efficiency of this second deduction was a leap forward compared to the previous one.
According to the time of the first simulation, it would take at least a few years to influence external countries and those small states and tribes, but this time the process was greatly shortened.
The future has already changed in predictable ways.
Even some current dilemmas have been resolved.
For example, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works of Yu State had already reported the upcoming predicament.
Because of the relevant policies and defense strategies regarding the grasslands, the current Yu Kingdom does not have enough power to support large-scale operations.
For example, a head-on confrontation between countries.
This point cannot be ignored.
It’s okay for small countries, but it’s a different story if they are truly powerful nomadic tribes or empires outside the Western Regions.
But now, by traveling west, I have actually inadvertently earned a lot of support.
These small countries themselves do not have strong power, so they can only choose to let go of the Buddhists coming from Yu Kingdom.
At that time, those excellent cavalry did play a role.
Just like the power of deterrence!
Swords and guns are useless and fighting is ineffective.
Just a greeting along the way was rewarded with surrender.
This is much better than attacking them one by one.
This progress and achievement took nearly twenty years to achieve during the first exercise.
But this time, in less than ten years, initial results have been achieved.
This is the most terrifying thing about Chen Huaixin.
So now it seems that although the opponent is unconscious now, his deduction is constantly being optimized.
But at this moment, those officials from the aristocratic families were very depressed.
In this second deduction, Chen Huaixin not only benefited from the memory bonus of the first deduction, but also had ridiculously good luck.
They didn’t originally think that those small countries chose to take sides because of Chen Huaixin’s operations and arrangements.
I once firmly believed that luck definitely played a large part.
Now it seems…
It’s so embarrassing!
If the elite cavalry had not been arranged in advance to escort them, how could it have had such an obvious effect? ​​How could there be such a scene of foreigners coming to pay homage!
At the residence of the Third Princess.
Looking at Chen Huaixin who was in the light, Ji Changxi’s eyes were filled with infinite tenderness.
Her beautiful eyes were full of affection.
Only when the other person is like this, I am the most unreserved. Even though we are so close, it is difficult to share the love between husband and wife, which is really tormenting.
“You still…”
“Same as the first deduction.”
“It was a casual arrangement that amazed everyone.”
Although Ji Changxi could only think about it in his heart, it was also a great comfort.
Unfortunately, Chen Huaixin couldn’t see or hear all this now…
…
[Jingping 10th year, end of the year]
[The cavalry sent westward to escort the envoys and post soldiers back to the court to report their victory! ]
【This news shocked everyone.】
【Those who were pessimistic about this before have completely shut up. 】
[Among those cavalrymen, there were messenger soldiers specially arranged by Chen Huaixin. Their purpose was to report the progress of the matter every once in a while. Now that half of the messengers have returned, the information will naturally be made public.]
【The winter snow falls, and the cold wind blows across the land. 】
[The north wind blows thousands of miles, and the good news relieves your worries. 】
[Chen Huaixin promoted all the post soldiers who collected intelligence along the way and returned safely.]
【As Buddhism spread westward along this path, the results were very good.】
[Now that these people have returned to report their victory, it means that the mighty Buddhist army has successfully passed through all the states and tribes that can establish diplomatic relations and is officially heading to the last stop.]
【India!】
【Chen Huaixin is very relieved about this.】
【All we have to do now is wait for good news from India. 】
