On the 8000th year of the Blue Star Xia calendar,
a spacecraft from the Spirit Realm Star landed in the ancient Galan City. Lan Guang jumped off the spacecraft, and he did not put it away, but just left it there.
Lan Guang strode into the gate of the Galan family without caring about those strange looks. He knew very well what those looks meant, resentment, envy, and all kinds of emotions, which were very complicated.
"Father,"
a middle-aged man came over, and Lan Guang saluted him, using the Blue Star Chinese language, which made the middle-aged man feel a little uncomfortable, but he also tried to reply in Chinese.
"Guang'er, this time you graduate, will you hate me for not going?"
"What are you talking about, father? If you don't go, I will also be the first graduate of this year, it's the same, not to mention that father is the lord of Galan City, and he is entangled in worldly affairs. Those adults understand,"
Lan Guang said. Their Galan family is the oldest family in Galan City. Their ancestors once produced a Buddhist cultivator at the level of Arhat, and they have controlled the Galan family for generations.
However, his father's lineage was not the main branch of the Galan Clan, but a very remote branch. More than 20 years ago, the adults of Blue Star descended from the sky and destroyed the main branch of the Galan Clan. It was his father who took the initiative to jump out and surrender to the adults of Blue Star in the eyes of everyone.
After that, his father became the mayor of Galan City. He was only three years old at the time and was sent by his father to the modern city where the adults of Blue Star were as a proton.
But Lan Guang was very grateful for his father's move, because in the modern city, Lan Guang saw a world different from Lingjing Star. He learned Chinese language, Chinese history, science and technology, and Taoism. In the past 20 years, he felt that he had opened up the world.
"It's all right to understand, it's all right to understand, Guang'er, when you come back this time, do those adults have any tasks for you?"
"Yes, and the tasks are important"
"Oh, tell me about it"
"I came back this time to serve as the director of education in Galan City, responsible for teaching the education of the entire Galan City, promoting the Chinese language of Blue Star, promoting the Taoism of cultivating immortals, and promoting science and technology"
"Ah, this..."
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically. Now he is no longer the little character he was back then. He knows very well what his son's actions mean. Is he going to completely break away from Buddhism?
"Father, I know that you have protected many Buddhist practitioners over the years. Not only do I know, but those adults on Blue Star also know..."
"Guang'er, this..."
Lan Guang's words immediately made the middle-aged man pale and sweat.
Over the years, he was actually a two-faced person. On the one hand, he surrendered to the adults from Blue Star, but secretly did not completely cut off from Buddhism. He even secretly protected many monks. He thought he was doing it very secretly, but he didn't expect to be exposed.
"Father, don't worry. My teacher told me before I came here that he was willing to give you another chance. The Buddhist tradition on Lingjing Star has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It cannot be cleared up in a few decades. They all know it."
"Guang'er, I, I..."
"Is father still thinking about Buddhism?"
"Guang'er, you also know that our Galan clan is a big Buddhist clan. Although the first branch has been destroyed, the other branches are still there. If it weren't for father's mediation, this Galan city would have been in chaos long ago."
"Humph, it's chaos, so what? Those people are still thinking about Buddhism. Buddhism is just a pile of garbage."
"Guang'er, why do you say that?"
"Father, you don't know that five years ago, the teacher took 80 people from our class to various places for field investigations. We found that under the rule of Buddhism, ordinary people lived a very miserable life. Buddhism did not allow killing, and the animal husbandry industry was extremely low, which led to serious malnutrition among the people. The average life expectancy of ordinary people was less than 50 years old, and the mortality rate of pregnant women was extremely high..."
Lan Guang immediately said to his father seriously. He and his teacher went on a field investigation together, and only then did he know how backward and pedantic the rule of Buddhism was. Just not allowing killing caused countless problems, such as malnutrition, low average life expectancy, and diseases.
If it was before, he would have thought it was normal, because Lingjing Star had lived like this for tens of thousands of years, but he learned about the situation of Blue Star from school, and the gap was obvious after a comparison, which made Lan Guang hate Buddhism very much, because the education he received told him that this was all caused by Buddhism.
"Father, break up with the Galan family. Just be like me and take the surname Lan. The Galan family is pedantic and backward. We can't help them anymore."
"Father, Buddhism is a thing of the past. The future of Lingjing Star belongs to the world of Blue Star."
"If we have never seen the light, we can still endure the darkness, but we have seen the dawn. I can't stand the shackles of darkness for a moment."
"Not only me, but also everyone in Galan City and Lingjing Star will abandon Buddhism and embrace the embrace of Blue Star civilization..."
Lan Guang said to his father righteously. This time he came back with a mission. He wanted to spread the glory of Blue Star throughout Galan City and Lingjing Star.
······
Modern City
Modern City is the first modern city built by Liang Long and his team on Lingjing Star. It is also the only one that is completely built according to the first-tier cities of Blue Star China.
At this time, hundreds of teachers in Modern City are saying goodbye to their students. Most of these students are children of the powerful on Lingjing Star. Their fathers and ancestors surrendered to Blue Star and sent them to Modern City as protons.
Liang Long and his team sent all these people to school. After decades of transformation, they have completely become Blue Star people. From language, clothing, culture, and practice methods, there is no difference between them and Blue Star.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, these 5,800 students should be the first batch of main forces for our transformation of Lingjing Star, right?"
"Yes, they may be the most powerful batch of main forces. Their families are all powerful forces on Lingjing Star. They have accepted all the courses of Blue Star Education. They believe that Blue Star is advanced, which is completely far ahead of Lingjing Star. They will no longer believe in Buddhism. After they go back, they can borrow the power of Lingjing Star. They are much more useful than our people and more loyal than those who have received short-term training."
Zheng Yi said. They landed on Lingjing Star with great force and destroyed the main forces and backbones of Buddhism. Many people were afraid of death and cooperated with them, but they also knew that these people had no choice but to do so. It was impossible to make them surrender.
They also knew that they only borrowed these people to temporarily manage Lingjing Star. After that, they also held dozens of short-term training courses. The effect was there, but not great. After all, the time was too short. Only those who have received their education for more than 20 years are the most loyal.
"What's next? Destroy their culture?"
"Fellow Daoist Liang, why are you asking when you already know the answer? To destroy a nation, we must first destroy their culture. Although our Blue Star culture is all-inclusive, we don't have time to slowly develop it, so we must use drastic measures."
"Come, let me listen to your plan so I can learn from it."
"It's actually very simple. Starting from next year, we will issue an administrative order to destroy all Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist-related books on the market. We will not allow anything related to Buddhist education and will forcefully promote our education.
By then, the people of Lingjing Star will surely resist fiercely. We will just have to kill another batch of them. Whoever shows up will be killed. But the most important thing is the material foundation. We will reward any family that is willing to send their children to our school. We will first exempt them from all taxes, and then give them a lot of material rewards, such as food, clothes, and whatever rewards are available.
With the current productivity of Lingjing Star, less than 10% of the people can have enough food, and 90% of the people are hungry. How long can you expect ordinary people to resist hunger?
As long as this policy is implemented for a hundred years, there will be no Buddhism. The countless students who have received our education will be able to actively overthrow them."
"Yes, this plan is feasible. Is there anything I can help with?"
"That's a lot, such as improving the productivity of Lingjing Star. Now the cities under our complete control have accepted our new agricultural technology, and the grain output is very high. They have also gradually abandoned the Buddhist tradition of not eating meat and have seen the benefits of eating meat, but it is not enough. The plan I just mentioned is the most important thing. Without huge material support, it is all empty talk."
"Haha, improving productivity is a very simple thing,"
Liang Long laughed. Producing agricultural tools is a very simple thing for automated factories. Producing pesticides and fertilizers is even more of a piece of cake. Even improving grain varieties is not difficult. For him, it is really not a high-tech technology. Just copy the technology of Blue Star.
"That's good. Once the productivity problem is solved, everything else is a simple thing,"
Zheng Yi said. With enough material support, everything else is really simple, such as the distribution of wealth. Are they still afraid of the vested interests of Lingjing Star? If they are not convinced, just kill them. Kill all the vested interests, and that's it.
