Extra Chapter 3 The first old friend, Yang Zaiwei(2/2)
"Master's master, Uncle Mute, if he lives to this day, he will be over a hundred years old and may have passed away. But where is the graveyard? I still need to look for it and pay homage to him."
When Li Yan ascended, Yang Zaiwei and Uncle Ya also paid homage outside the city, and then left together. Although they did not necessarily go together, Yang Zaiwei was the most likely person to know about Uncle Ya's whereabouts or graveyard.
Xiao Hei was originally going to look for him, but felt that this person was the hardest to find. Unexpectedly, he met him not long after he arrived, and then he realized that falling outside Dashi City might have been Li Yan's intention.
It's just that the two parties are meeting now, and this identity is not easy to explain.
Especially when the other party disguises his identity and goes deep into the top management of Dashi.
While Xiao Hei was pondering, heavy footsteps came. General Abu, who looked like an iron tower, walked in and spoke in Tubo language: "Master Juezhao!"
Yang Zaiwei clasped his hands together, looked kind and kind, and said in Tubo dialect: "General, be well!"
Xiaohei understood Tubo dialect, because Wan'er also learned it, and he was immediately overjoyed and listened quietly.
General Abu obviously didn't just come to say hello. After a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point and took out a letter and handed it over: "Master, please take a look."
Yang Zaiwei took it, opened the letter and read it carefully, with a real look of loneliness on his face: "As expected, Dalun Temple has already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and King Kumarajiva of the Ming Dynasty is even known as a holy monk. They have no hope of returning to the country.
So ambitious..."
General Abu had obviously read the letter, and was not surprised. He also had other ideas: "Our goal is not just Buddhism in Tubo. The Emperor of Tang severely criticized Buddhism in his country and forced monks to pay taxes. We should provide those believers who hope to be rescued with assistance."
Necessary support!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In terms of taxation, Dashi has great experience.
Islam originated in the uninhabited Arabian Peninsula, but during the Arab Empire, it quickly spread to the Middle East and North Africa. In just over a hundred years, even the Persian civilization was annexed.
The tax system is a key factor in achieving such great results.
Every time the Arabs conquered a place, they set different tax rates. Those who converted to Islam would pay less taxes, while pagans would pay several times more taxes. This directly stimulated the non-Muslim people. If they did not convert, they would have to pay several times their property or even be directly engulfed.
If you convert, you will be exempted from taxes and hard labor...
It is naturally self-evident how to choose.
Therefore, after learning about the foundation of Buddhism's belief among common people in the Tang Dynasty, and then discovering that the Tang Dynasty actually dared to tax Buddhism and treat it equally with non-believers, the senior officials of Dashi were overjoyed.
How dare Emperor Tang dare?
However, after receiving lessons from the assassination team, they have restrained themselves a lot, and only now have they officially used it.
Yang Zaiwei had no emotions in his heart, but his face showed some just right joy, and his acting skills were already perfect: "It is true what the general said. When I go to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely convince me to release the monks and work together for a great cause!"
General Abu looked down upon this eminent monk who had been exiled from Tibet. However, it was precisely this kind of person who was easy to control. He said with a smile: "Okay! Okay!"
The two sides agreed on many details of the rebellion, and Yang Zaiwei asked logically: "I don't know when the envoy will be able to set off on the road? Will the time be missed due to repeated delays?"
General Abu had no doubt that he was there: "Please rest assured, master, the envoy will set off tomorrow. We will definitely catch up with Tang Dynasty's Qianqiu Festival and give the Tang Emperor an unforgettable birthday!"
"Good! Good!"
