Chapter 651 Ambitions (Asking for Monthly Votes)
"What are you trying to do?"
The Queen's eyes were flowing like water, and she looked at Jia Huan with a rather subtle look.
I always felt that Jia Huan had a problem with his brain, and he was doing thankless things.
"I plan to establish the influence of the Taoist lineage directly on the ancient Great Wall!"
Jia Huan did not hide it and directly said his true thoughts.
"Does the Taoist lineage have such strength?"
The Queen asked sharply: "The ancient Great Wall line directly faces many foreign tribes outside the Great Wall!"
Jia Huan smiled but said nothing, this was not a good answer.
To say that he had strength, he had to be convinced by the Queen, but Jia Huan thought so in his heart.
It can only be said that the two people's thinking patterns were quite different, and they could not pee in the same pot at all.
In fact, in the early days, in addition to his own strength, he relied more on the powerful military force of the Sui Dynasty.
At least after the current Sui Emperor mobilized the whole country for the second time and failed to attack Goguryeo, the border army of the Great Sui Dynasty had a great advantage over the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall.
During this period, there was nearly ten years for the Taoist lineage to operate well.
What really needs to be dealt with is the attack of foreign masters, and they must be able to withstand it.
But if you say that you don’t have the strength, wouldn’t it be like making fun of Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan?
Seeing Jia Huan’s attitude, Yin Queen flashed a trace of anger in her eyes.
However, she didn’t mean to be angry, and just said calmly: "Since the Taoist lineage has an idea, just do it well, and we will wait and see!"
Even a fool can hear the weirdness in her tone, and it is obvious that she is not in a good mood.
Jia Huan just smiled and didn’t speak. As for the situation of his senior brother Zuo Youxian, he didn’t care.
After the Queen left, Zuo Youxian wiped the dense cold sweat on his forehead and complained: "You are so bold, you dare to do this in front of the Queen?"
"I am just telling the truth, is it wrong to tell the truth?"
Jia Huan said indifferently: "Besides, this is a good opportunity for our Taoist lineage to expand, we can't give up no matter what!"
"From what you said, you are really ready to invest a lot?"
Zuo Youxian was surprised: "Where do you get the confidence?"
"The temporary confidence is the strong national strength of the Sui Dynasty!"
Jia Huan said with a smile : "At least, we can build a Taoist temple along the ancient Great Wall, and there is still a certain degree of security!"
"But there is a lot of land and few people here..."
"That depends on our next move. Can we keep a large number of young and strong people from the millions of laborers? They and their families are our basic base!"
"You are really crazy, aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction in the court?"
"Hehe, will the court care about more or less people? Anyway, the population in the Central Plains is dense, and they can afford to do anything they want!"
Speaking of this, we have to mention the madness of the current Sui Emperor Yang Guang.
If you say he is capable, he is indeed capable and visionary. He can repair hundreds of miles of the ancient Great Wall. At least his brain has not been blown away by many foreign Khans.
But if you say he is wise and brave, he is a super madman who abuses the people's power.
It's okay to recruit millions of young and strong laborers to repair hundreds of miles of the ancient Great Wall, but the construction period is pitifully short, only twenty days, which is simply not an order that a human can issue.
In comparison, when Qin State built the Great Wall, it didn't exploit the people so crazily.
Originally, if the construction period could be extended to two months, although it was still tight, there wouldn't be too many casualties.
But the current Sui Emperor wanted to show off the strong infrastructure capabilities of the Sui Dynasty in front of many foreign Khans, so he could only make the people suffer, but he didn't care anyway.
It just so happened that Jia Huan also wanted to make some arrangements, so he naturally had to take a ride. "Then why do you want to build a Taoist temple on the border?"
Here, Zuo Youxian was still asking, obviously unable to understand Jia Huan's train of thought.
"In the Central Plains, is there still room for the Taoist lineage to expand rapidly?"
Jia Huan couldn't help but sneer and said unhappily: "The entire Great Sui Dynasty's core area has been almost completely divided up by various forces. How can it be so easy to get a piece of the pie?"
"With the strength of you and me brothers..."
"Then we can't always stay in a Taoist temple and can't leave easily, right?"
Jia Huan said helplessly: "Once the interests of certain forces are affected, no one knows what kind of existence they can involve. I'm afraid there will be all kinds of troubles in the future!"
"But there will be troubles everywhere, it's better to toss in the Central Plains!"
Zuo Youxian muttered dissatisfiedly: "At least, you can reap more benefits!"
"But I don't think so!"
Jia Huan smiled Yinyin said: "In fact, if we do well this time, we may leave a strong mark in the history of Taoism!"
"It may even cause some kind of trend!"
"What do you mean by this? Can you explain it clearly?"
Zuo Youxian said dissatisfiedly: "You better be honest, otherwise if you want me to help you in the future, I won't agree so easily!"
"Brother, why is the status of the Zhang family of Zhengyi so special?"
Jia Huan asked instead: "At least in Taoism, they belong to the absolute orthodox mainstream!"
"This..."
Zuo Youxian stuttered a little and hesitated: "Didn't Zhengyi produce Zhang Daoling?"
"Then didn't the other Taoist sects have powerful heavenly masters?"
Jia Huan sneered: "Like Ge Xuan of Lingbao Sect and Xu Xun of Jingming Sect, their Taoist skills are not inferior to Zhang Daoling, but their status in Taoism is completely different!"
"Then tell me, what is the reason?"
Zuo Youxian naturally couldn't answer, and kicked the question back directly.
"It's very simple, Zhang Daoling's Zhengyi Sect has opened up a living space for Taoism!"
Jia Huan's face was serious, and he said decisively: "Zhang Daoling and his descendants, with the Zhengyi Sect, destroyed mountains and temples in Sichuan and Shu, and almost wiped out the local witchcraft forces, leaving only the Five Pecks of Rice Sect alone!"
"This is a resounding achievement, which can leave a strong and colorful mark in Taoism!"
Zuo Youxian was shocked and almost couldn't control himself.
In the past, he was only interested in the internal affairs of the Holy Sect, and he paid special attention to his own martial arts level.
As for the major branches of Taoism, to be honest, he didn't know much about them and had little contact with them.
It was only after he entered the Taishi Bureau that he had some contact with the Zhengyi Sect and the Gezaoshan Sect, but the relationship was also very cold and distant.
As for the rest, he didn't pay any attention to it, let alone think about the things of Zhengyi.
But now that he suddenly heard it, he was really shocked!
But when he reacted, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You are very ambitious, don't you want to imitate Zhang Daoling's actions?"
"Why not?"
Jia Huan said in a loud voice: "Anyway, the border area is not looked down upon by the Buddhist monks. Isn't it a good place for us to show our skills?"
