"Military and National Affairs." The simple four words scared Li Yan's legs so weak that they kept falling down. Fortunately, Zhang Nan was quick-eyed and quickly supported Li Yan.

After being held by Zhang Nan, Li Yan looked at Zhang Nan with an expectant and nervous look on his face, and then asked: "Master Zhang, what the father said is true? Is there really a military and national event to be explained to me?"

Li Yan feels like he was an ordinary person now, but one day he was caught on the road and told him that the safety of this country would be left to you.

"That's right, it's indeed a military and national event. If you want to do it well, it will help the Tang Dynasty destroy a country." After Zhang Nan said that, Li Yan was ready to pull it over.

Seeing that he was about to roll his eyes, Zhang Nan immediately pinched Li Yan for the others, telling Li Yan not to faint.

"Ha!" Li Yan took a long breath, and he barely took a rest.

"Sit down, what kind of morality is like like this? I'm pointing at you to Tubo to help me destroy Tubo. Just like you, can I point to you?" Li Er frowned and said when he saw Li Yan's appearance.

"Yes!" Seeing that Li Er was about to leave, Li Yan quickly straightened up.

"Okay, Qingquan, tell him what happened." After Li Er said that, he walked to the stands in the private room and began to watch the horse racing ongoing below.

Zhang Nan also explained to Li Yan what he should do when he went to Tubo.

After talking for a long time in one breath, Zhang Nan finally explained to Li Yan what he was going to Tubo this time.

"Sir Zhang, what do you mean is, I want to take a team of people to preach where there is no chicken laying eggs and birds not shitting? Just like a monk?" Li Yan asked seriously at Zhang Nan.

"That's what you mean, but what you have to do is not just preaching. You have to attract believers, but you have to ensure that everyone who enters your religion believes in the religion unconditionally." Zhang Nan said.

"Master Zhang, it's simple to let me cheat, but how can I know if they will find out that this teaching is fake after a while?" Li Yan also said with a dismay.

"Who told you that this sect is fake?" Zhang Nan gave Li Yan a angrily glance.

"Do you think the monks in those temples believe that people have reincarnation?"

"That's natural?" Li Yan said.

"Do you believe that after a person dies, he will be reincarnated and then become a human again?" Zhang Nan continued to ask.

"I naturally don't believe it. After this man died, he became a ghost and went to the underworld. Naturally, he would never be considered a human again." Li Yan replied.

The Buddhist view of reincarnation was formed by drawing on the reincarnation thought of ancient Indian Brahmanism. Before Buddhism was introduced, there was no concept of reincarnation in China, so the original Taoism did not talk about reincarnation.

The concept of ghosts began to appear in China very early. It is generally believed that after death, people will become ghosts, and when they go to the underworld, some will also be wandering in the human world.

Around after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, some Taoisms absorbed the Buddhist concept of reincarnation, believing that after death, people become ghosts, they can choose to be reincarnated, or they can choose to continue practicing and become ghost immortals. Later, Taoism had the theory of the five paths of reincarnation.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, most people still do not believe in the saying of reincarnation.

"Will that be over? You don't believe it, but those who believe in Buddhism believe it. Now I tell you that if you believe in religion, you will be immortal. All you have to do is to make the people of Tubo believe it. You can do this." Zhang Nan said.

After hearing this, Li Yan shook his head blankly.

"Huh, just say that, you will cheat people. When will you deceive them to believe that there is really the god we made in this world. And the more beliefs, the more true the belief, the more feedback you will get. It's that simple." Zhang Nan said.

"don't know."

"......Master, let's change one person." Zhang Nan saw that he had been talking for a long time, as if he was playing the piano for a cow, and also said to Comrade Li Er who was standing by the stands.

"Don't, Master Zhang, what's the matter to discuss? Although I'm a little stupid, I'm willing to learn." Li Yan quickly grabbed Zhang Nan's arm with a smile.

For Li Yan, this is the most important thing he has ever encountered. This is a good opportunity to prove himself. Li Yan doesn't want to let it go.

"I'll give you another simple example. Do you know Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?"

"I know this. Although I have read few books, I know them." Li Yan said quickly when he saw that he finally knew something.

As the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng was still very well-known.

"Before their actions, they used cinnabar to write the three big words "King Chen Sheng" on a silk handkerchief and stuffed them into the belly of the fish caught by the fishermen. The soldiers bought the fish and found the "dan Shu" in the fish's belly. At the same time, the two of them asked others to lurk in a deserted temple near the camp. In the middle of the night, they lit a bonfire next to the temple to pretend to be a ghost fire, imitating the sound of a fox, shouting loudly, "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng"! You understand what I said."

Zhang Nan was helpless. If Li Yan didn't know what to do, then Zhang Nan really had to seriously consider letting Comrade Li Er change someone.

"I understand, I understand, Master Zhang, what you mean, let me use the words of ghosts and gods to confuse the Tubo people and make them believe me. Then I will give you some small favors and they will naturally agree with me." Li Yan finally knew the key points.

"That's what we mean, but it's still up to date. But you have to remember that we are not called lying, but this is called brainwashing."

"brainwashing?!"

As soon as Zhang Nan said this, even Comrade Li Er, who was sitting in the stands watching Marseille, had his ears ridged.

"The so-called brainwashing refers to instilling special thoughts into others with external pressure. Just like the example we just gave, the alchemy books in the fish's belly and the ghost fire beside the temple, they are instilling the idea that Chen Sheng is resisting the leader in the idea of ​​instilling the idea of ​​Chen Sheng in resisting the leader into other soldiers." Zhang Nan said.

"The meaning of the essence of brainwashing is to use all means to instill knowledge and thoughts that are in line with one's own interests into others. The key to distinguish whether brainwashing is not instilling this process, but to see whether this view and theory conform to scientificity and regularity. Simply put, others think that this thing is obviously impossible to achieve, but those people believe that this thing can be achieved, which is called brainwashing." Zhang Nan continued.

"So that's it, then this is simple. Master Zhang, just tell me, I have no problem with which step we want to do." Li Yan patted his chest and promised.
