Chapter 130 Lu Xun's Letter

While Sun Quan was restructuring, he also allowed everyone to promote a lot of new things such as haircuts and vernacular Chinese, which made the entire Jiangdong busy as soon as the New Year passed. At this time, the construction of Stone City had also started. Most of the people from Zijin Camp and Wuyishan Camp moved to Zhongshan to establish Zhongshan Camp. Then, while the training was carried out, the territory of Stone City began to be planned. Gu Yong and Bu Wei also began to enter Stone City to start the preparations for the construction of the city.

When he was busy every day, Sun Quan received a letter from Lu Xun. Lu Xun's letter was not about reporting work, but about saying that he was not very adaptable to the climate there, and he got sick every now and then, and he became a medicine jar. He asked to transfer back to Jiangdong to serve and ask Sun Quan to choose another person in Jiangdong to serve as the county magistrate of Jiaozhi.

After reading the letter, Sun Quan felt a little strange, so he called Zhou Yu and Pang Tong over to discuss the matter and said, "What do you think about this matter? I remember why we didn't notice this situation when we conquered Jiaozhi?"

Zhou Yu said: "Lord, Bo Yan shouldn't be the one who deliberately ended his lord. Even if he doesn't think about his future, he has to think about the Lu family. It should be credible."

Pang Tong followed and said, "Lord, Bo Yan did not have this situation during our war, but no matter what, Bo Yan is a great hero. He said this just that he doesn't want to stay there, so it's okay to transfer it back, and it won't affect the overall situation now."

When Sun Quan saw both of them saying this, he said, "Okay, then I'll transfer Bo Yan back. The teacher will come over later. I'll ask him where it would be more appropriate to transfer him. You guys also say, when Bo Yan back, who transfers him to Jiaozhi?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "I recommend my lord's uncle Wu Jing, who is both civil and military, the key is that he is the lord's uncle."

Pang Tong also thought it was feasible, so Sun Quan asked the two of them to go back. Then Zhang Zhao came, and Sun Quan asked him about the matter and said, "Teacher, Bo Yan is not suitable for Jiaozhi's climate. Let's transfer him back. Where is the best place to transfer?"

Zhang Zhao said: "Boyan is both civil and military. Is the lord sure he will not be transferred back to the army to serve? I think he will be transferred to Kuaiji County. As the lord's uncle, Wu Jing will be more convenient to arrange in any aspect."

After hearing this, Sun Quan smiled and said, "It's really a hero who has the same opinion. Gongjin just now suggested this." Then Sun Quan asked someone to order his uncle Wu Jing, asking him to take Lu Xun's transfer order to Jiaozhi take over.

While Sun Quan was fully advancing the reform, although he did not receive any reports on the following situation, he still did not see it with his own eyes. So he called Pang Tong, took Gongsun E, and then asked Chen Nian to bring about two hundred imperial guards and guards. He started his journey south from Wujun and had to understand the current situation well.

When we were traveling south, when the ice and snow had just melted, the people had not yet gone to work. They were all familiar with the country's government orders and had their hair cut off. Many old people could not accept it. They had seen some old people who would rather die than follow, but there were very few such people after all. After Pang Tong took a few people outside, he returned and said, "Lord, there is an old man in the village we just went to. He is over 70 years old. He is the oldest in the neighborhood. He said he would not shave his hair, and he was not willing to force it. So he let him go first. Who knew that after about ten days, he found someone to shave his hair off and covered his son."

Gongsun E asked curiously, "Why?"

Pang Tong found that Mrs. Gongsun was a qualified listener. Sun Quan was not curious at all, and he looked like he was not talking. Pang Tong continued: "Someone asked him later. He said that he found that his son had not scratched his head every day since he shaved his head. And he had to ask his grandson to find out where there were lice and bedbugs or something. The grandson began to dislike him and said that he was dirty and he couldn't stand it now. As a grown-up child, he let him make himself dirty, so he shave his hair. After shave, he found that it was really good, so he no longer thought he could not shave and no longer made trouble."

Sun Quan said, "Little Phoenix, what reason did you find from here?"

Pang Tong looked at Sun Quan and said, "Of course there is this truth. The old man found that everyone had shaved his head and did not receive any punishment from God and his ancestors. He also knew that although his body and hair were taught to his parents, he would not be unable to move because of this. Shaving his hair is so good for him, so he naturally was willing to shave his head."

When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly remembered that there should be a Buddhist temple in this era. He asked: "Little Fenghuang, E'er, have you ever seen a temple? Don't there be many bald heads there? You said that so many people in Jiangdong have shaved their heads or cut their hair short, so would they think I also believe in Buddhism?"

Gongsun E looked at Sun Quan in surprise and said, "Husband, are you so Buddhist? Do you still marry so many wives?"

Pang Tong laughed apart, and Sun Quan kicked Pang Tong and said, "What a foolish smile? Have you never met a monk?"

Pang Tong said while laughing, "I have seen it, but monks have scars. We don't have this, and the people may not believe their nonsense."

Sun Quan said: "You write it down for me and send a message to the cabinet, asking them to confiscate all the temple fights in Jiangdong, and there is no one monk. It's just a mess. They all go to be monks. Humans should not marry their wives and have children. Then they will be exterminated!"

Gongsun E said from the side: "That won't be true, and everyone may not believe them, but those monks are not all good people. I have seen some flower-picking thieves and assassins in the world. Because I avoided the pursuit of the righteous path and the government, I hid in and became a monk."

Sun Quan immediately said: "Little Phoenix, add one, all monks must find out whether they have committed any illegal acts in the past. Some of them must be punished according to law. No one must return to secular life. Those who are stubborn will be sent to serve as soldiers. All temples will be burned, and no Buddhist scriptures can be kept. It is also clearly stated in the law that those who believe in Buddhism will blame their tribes."

Pang Tong said: "Is this a bit too cruel?"

Sun Quan ignored this and then began to ban Buddhism from then on. Sun Quan of Taoism also took restrictive measures one after another, and there would not be so much financial resources and development.

More than half a month later, Sun Quan arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River and met Ganning's naval fleet. Then he ate a meal in Ganning's army. He did not eat alone, but a big pot rice with the soldiers. He found that the taste was far worse than what he usually ate at home. Then he went to the kitchen team with Ganning and found that the ingredients here were actually very good, and the people in the kitchen team were all old people, so the cooking should be good, but he found that the salt here was not salt at all, so he asked Ganning: "How did you come from this salt?"

Gan Ning said: "Lord, we are the navy. Like many people on the seaside, we drove a boat to get sea water back to cook salt on the seaside, and then ate it by ourselves, which saved some expenses for our navy."
