Chapter 1058 New tricks to deal with Tubo(2/2)
To make trouble there, pyramid schemes are not necessarily a good way.
The most important thing is that even if the pyramid scheme is effective in Tubo state, Li Kuan doesn’t want to use it very much.
Because you don’t know when this thing will spread to the Tang Dynasty.
By then, the loss will be even greater.
"Northwest Trade has now made the business of salt and iron tea into the Tubo country, or we can increase our efforts to make the people of the Tubo country more dependent on the goods of the Tang Dynasty. When the war between the two sides begins, we will directly cut off all their goods, making it uncomfortable for the people who are used to the goods of the Tang Dynasty."
Wang Xuance thought about it and gave a proper suggestion.
"Although this method is feasible, the effect is limited. I heard that Buddhism is very popular in Tubo. We can push it behind the scenes and make Buddhism a belief that every citizen in Tubo has admired. At the same time, I asked the glass workshop to create a batch of Buddha statues, making the Buddha statues a powerful tool to absorb the money of the people in Tubo."
As soon as Li Kuan said this, Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up.
Tubo believes in Buddhism, so why did he forget this?
For Buddhist herders, it is worth it even if they exchange dozens of cattle and sheep for a Buddha statue.
This money-making effect is definitely no worse than the pyramid scheme.
The most important thing is to promote Buddhism to make the people of Tubo more docile and more indifferent to the world.
This is something worth supporting.
"Prince, there are many eminent monks in Chang'an City. I think we can make good use of it. There was a monk called Bian Ji before. It is said that he is the most famous among the younger generation of monks in Chang'an City. I think after returning to Chang'an, we can communicate with each temple, and we can still find common interests with them!"
"Well, then, I will leave the matter of selling Buddha statues to Fan Biao in Tubo! As for cooperation with high monks, I can also consider it! At that time, I can make the scale bigger and second monks from other places for use."
Li Kuan suddenly thought, I don’t know where Xuanzang is now?
According to history, he should be about to return to the Tang Dynasty.
If Li Kuan had no intervention, he would definitely usher in a peak in the development of Buddhism.
However, this peak was not needed by the Tang Dynasty, and it could be transferred to the Tubo Kingdom.
I think if Xuanzang was asked to go to Tubo, the effect would be great.
As long as it was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Tubo Kingdom, Li Kuan felt that any plan could be considered.
As for whether Xuanzang agreed, he was not worried at all.
So what about a monk?
Are you not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty?
