Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

"Unconventional means?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's heart jumped like he was on a roller coaster.

He looked at Cui Yuan with evasive eyes. Although he knew that the object of his hatred was not him, he couldn't help but get goosebumps on his back.

What is it that Cui Shenxian can call an unconventional method? But even if he didn't know, he still felt very scared.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, do you know what I am auctioning at this auction?" Cui Yuan did not explain immediately, but stood up and asked with a chuckle.

Zhu Di was stunned: "Liu... Liuli?"

"No, it's not."

Cui Yuan shook his head, stood up and walked outside the door. He lowered his head and looked at the lively auction scene below with a smile, his eyes meaningful.

In order to ensure that the auction goes smoothly, Cui Yuan's room is on the second floor of the auction house. If you look up from here, you can perfectly see the entire auction scene and see the crazy appearance of the wealthy people spending money like water for glass carvings.

Zhu Di didn't notice it when he first went up the stairs. Now he walked to Cui Yuan and followed his gaze down. Feeling the feeling of holding everything in his hands, a wave of waves surged in his heart!

"It's fame and status!"

Cui Yuan raised his hand, slowly opened his fingers, rotated them at an angle and then slowly closed them again. He gently held the hands above many wealthy families. It was obviously just a very simple move, nothing special.

But at this moment, in Zhu Di's eyes, he seemed to see Cui Yuan transform into a giant, holding the entire auction venue in his hand!

Cover the sky with one hand!

"The price of glass is not high, even glass carvings are no exception."

"But now, the entire wealthy families in Yingtian Mansion are red-eyed because of them, and are bidding at a crazy premium."

"Your Highness King Yan, if what I bought is really just colored glaze, then what is the extra premium?"

"What makes them so jealous?"

Zhu Di was speechless. He glanced at the crazy auction house below, and then at Cui Yuan beside him. The goosebumps on his back became even stronger!

"It's power and status..."

Zhu Di trembled and repeated Cui Yuan's words. The sun rose in his mind and illuminated the fog.

"If it's ordinary colored glaze, it's not worth that much money at all."

"However, after Cui Shenxian you have been building momentum over the past month, as well as all kinds of publicity, now those wealthy families are proud of being able to buy your glass sculptures, and regard it as a symbol of status and face. If any family does not have Cui If you are a glazed carving, you will definitely be despised..."

"Similarly, even if everyone has it, they will start to compare quality and quantity, so that your business, Cui Shenxian, can continue."

The more Zhu Di spoke, the brighter he became, his tone trembling, and he quickly deduced Cui Yuan's complete marketing plan!

"good."

Cui Yuan was very satisfied with Zhu Di's reaction. He was indeed the future Emperor Yongle, and he was still very young. His thinking was not as stubborn as that of an older man.

Now, except for the belated Zheng Ge, Zhu Di can understand his "diamond marketing" plan.

Li Shimin and Liu Bang are still kept in the dark.

"So as you and I can see, since the status and power behind these colored glazes can make the wealthy families in Yingtian Mansion crazy, then why can't Beiyuan also be made crazy because of it?"

"As long as Beiyuan falls into civil strife, spies and refugees will inevitably be born. As long as you pay more attention, Your Highness, King Yan, you can know where Beiyuan's main force is through their mouths."

"Your Highness, you only need to help the weak party attack the strong party, and secretly corrupt several tribes, so that they continue to fan the flames and keep Beiyuan in a state of division. Then the borders and people of Ming Dynasty will be safe!"

"Cui Shenxian, are you too whimsical?"

Although he had some guesses, Zhu Di was frightened by Cui Yuan's crazy idea!

Why did Beiyuan fall into civil strife because of some Liuli?

Why!

Especially when he was stirring up civil strife and had to fish in troubled waters on the grassland. Although Beiyuan was a bit naive, he wasn't cerebral palsy. How could he let Daming and himself be so messy?

Not to mention that the person who heard these words was Zhu Di, even a random passerby who didn't understand anything, or even a beggar, would think that the person who said these words was a madman.

"Cui Shenxian, please allow me to ask a question."

The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched and he asked bravely: "You can successfully raise the price of colored glaze in Yingtian Mansion by relying on pervasive publicity and momentum."

"But those guys in Beiyuan don't do this. As nomadic people, they have never settled in a fixed place. They have no hobbies of watching theater, listening to music and storytelling."

"Besides, even if some of them really like this, the people who send out the performances can only be the Ming Dynasty's troupe. Bei Yuan has always been hostile to me, the Ming Dynasty, and will not easily believe their words."

"In this case, how do you plan to promote Liuli to them? Is it possible that you have to rely on your thoughts?"

What Zhu Di said was very explicit, but it was indeed reality.

Cui Yuan's methods are unimpeded in Yingtian Mansion, just because Yingtian Mansion is now peaceful and stable, and there are many wealthy families.

This method will not work in a relatively poor place, just like later luxury brands will not advertise in Africa because they know that people there cannot afford it.

That's why Cui Yuan would not expand the propaganda scale to the entire Ming Dynasty, but only maintain it around Yingtian Mansion, because there is no need for it in other places.

"It really depends on faith."

Facing Zhu Di's doubts, Cui Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of a demon coming to the world, and death everywhere he glanced: "But this is a special kind of belief - faith!"

"This is a very special power. It can unite people of different races, and it can also make people of the same blood kill each other."

"As long as there are conflicts of faith in this world, the shadow of war it brings will always exist!"

"Faith!?" - Zhu Di's confusion: "Can it bring about war?"

Zhu Di's understanding of faith was limited to Buddhism and Taoism, or because Zhu Yuanzhang had been a monk before he rebelled.

The most function of this kind of religion is to bring some psychological comfort to the people. Why should it bring about war?

"I didn't talk nonsense. There were even countries that perished because of it."

Cui Yuan chuckled, walked back to the room, and took out a "New Book of Tang" from the bookshelf nearby.

In order to make up for the gaps in his historical knowledge, he would read these history books when he had nothing to do.

Cui Yuan held the book with his right hand and flipped it with his left hand in front of Zhu Di. Soon he came to a page that he had folded and marked and handed it to Zhu Di. Zhu Di also picked it up in cooperation: "Look. ,right here."

"About the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a country called Tubo on the Tibetan Plateau. Its most outstanding king, Songtsen Gampo, even forced Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess, which was the incident of Princess Wencheng entering Tibet."

In the Tang Dynasty where Li Shimin, who is currently serving as an auctioneer, lived, such cowardly things did not happen because of Cui Yuan's interference.

However, there was no interference in time here in the Ming Dynasty. Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet happened normally and was recorded in the history books.

Zhu Di nodded, indicating that he had heard about this.

"And among Tubo, there is a local religion called Benjiao."

Cui Yuan continued while turning the pages of the book: "The strength of the sect is very powerful, and it has even reached the point where it can influence the throne. In order to fight against the sect and maintain its position, the ruling class of Tubo came up with a method of fighting fire with fire. plan."

"That is to introduce Buddhism, hoping to use it to fight against the religion and weaken the power of the religion. However, no one expected that this introduction of religion would bring a disaster to Tubo."

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sweat beads appeared on his forehead.

He had very little impression of Tubo. After all, unlike Zhu Biao, he had not liked reading much since he was a child.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly made strict demands, he just pretended not to hear anything and often skipped classes.

This also caused his understanding of Tubo to remain in the memory of "knowing that there was such a country, that Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, and then perished."

Zhu Di had no idea that behind Tubo's seemingly ordinary demise, there was actually a factor of faith.

"But why is this! How can a small religion lead to the destruction of a country!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, you will know after you hear what I have to say."

Cui Yuan asked Zhu Di to be patient and continued to read the page: "When it was first introduced, Buddhism was regarded as a heretical religion by the Tubo people and was rejected by people. Especially the believers of this religion regarded Buddhism as their own. The innermost concern is that he always wanted to drive Buddhism out of Tubo."

"However, the Tubo ruling class didn't think so. Seeing that the religion was anxious, they increasingly felt that they had made a wise decision, so they supported Buddhism all the way. As a result, Buddhism once had the upper hand in the long-term struggle with the religion. "

"Especially when Trizu Detsen was in power, because he believed in Buddhism very strongly, he greatly supported Buddhism, much more than the local Bonsect."

"In Tubo alone, he built more than a thousand temples, and more than 10,000 Buddha statues and pagodas. This huge economic burden caused dissatisfaction in Tubo, and people's resentment towards Buddhism became more and more profound. "

"It is for this reason that after the new ruler of Tibet came to power, he began to fight back against Buddhism with the support of his religious ministers. Famous Buddhist temples including the Jokhang Temple were closed."

"In addition, they also sent troops to carry out extensive destruction. Among them, the famous Ramoche Temple was directly reduced to a cattle pen. Such changes aroused the lamentations of Buddhists. The temples under construction were stopped. A large number of Han Buddhist statues brought to Tibet during the period of Princess Wencheng were also buried in the ground, the monks were massacred or exiled, and the temple properties were distributed to local serf owners."

"After this disaster, Buddhism in Tubo suffered a catastrophic disaster. A large number of monks lost their livelihood security. Therefore, they hated the Tubo court for destroying all of them, and even assassinated the leader of the Tubo state."

"From this time on, the entire domestic situation in Tubo fell into a period of turmoil, and because the rule was too brutal, the dominance of the religion attracted resistance from the entire society. Therefore, Tubo perished not long after."

"So that's it..." Zhu Di felt that he had gained a lot.

A powerful country that once suppressed the Tang Dynasty and married a princess finally perished because of a small Buddhism. This has to be said to be an infinitely sad thing.

"So what you are saying, Cui Shenxian, is that we can convey a belief by selling colored glaze, and then use this belief to detonate conflicts within Beiyuan, causing them to fall into endless civil war!"

Bang!

Cui Yuan closed the "New Book of Tang" and snapped his fingers: "His Royal Highness King Yan is really smart, he can understand everything with just a few clicks!"

"In fact, although Tubo and Beiyuan are nearly a thousand years apart, they are actually very similar in many aspects."

"The most obvious point is that although they appear to be united on the surface, there are already undercurrents inside."

"The ruling class of Tubo feels that the Benji religion is too powerful and threatens their status, and the Benji religion also wants to completely replace the Tubo royal family and turn the entire Tubo into a religious country with the supremacy of clericalism."

"Although Tubo seems to be one country, behind the scenes it has long been divided, and both sides want the other to die."

"The same is true for the Northern Yuan Dynasty. As early as the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, and the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, had developed a hatred for his younger brother Ali Buge."

"At that time, Kublai Khan established himself as the Great Khan in Kaiping, the Central Plains, with the support of elite soldiers. Soon after, Alibu Ge was elected as the Great Khan of the Great Mongol Kingdom by the local Mongolian nobles in Haranhelin, and the two sides launched a fierce civil war, which lasted for four years. Years long.”

"In the end, Brother Alibaba lost the battle with Kublai Khan and lost his throne."

"Since that time, his descendants have been active in the Simon Guara area and have always remembered the original hatred and hatred for the Yuan Dynasty."

"And finally eight years ago, a descendant of Ali Buge named Yesudie'er, grudged against his ancestor's failure, killed the fleeing Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, also known as Kubi. Lie's descendant Titusgusi Timur became the new Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"The conflict in Tubo is between the ruling class and the religion, while the conflict in Beiyuan is the mortal feud between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge."

"Although they look harmless, they are actually extremely powerful bombs. If they are given a spark, they can explode and destroy a country at any time!"

"And what we have to do now is to detonate it in advance!"

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Di stopped breathing and came closer. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe out.
