    Huang Junming put aside the letter sent by Wan Mingzi Mu Xuanzi, took the volume attached to the letter, and asked Li Yuanheng to bring it to Li Shimin.  And clearly explained the origin of this book.  Then he sent him away.

    After sending Li Yuanheng away, Huang Junming thought for a moment alone. He took out a piece of paper from his desk, found a hard pen and dipped it in ink. After pondering for a while, he wrote: "My disciples Wan Ming and Mu Xuan. I have written this letter to be my teacher."  I received it and was deeply pleased after reading the letter. I am very happy for what you have done. Turkic trade should be speeded up. Today we are developing people's livelihood and strengthening the army. We lack horses to build cavalry and cattle for work. As for sheep  , and it is a good animal to feed the people during the locust plague next year. Although there are more than 10,000 horses, it is really a drop in the bucket for our dynasty, and the cattle are not enough to meet the needs of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, we should increase trade as needed. At the same time, livestock  If there are too many, the idea is clean, but if it causes an epidemic, all the previous efforts will be wasted."

    Huang Junming stopped writing at this point. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to feel that there were some omissions, and then continued to write: "Regarding the Turkic-Chenbing border that hinders horse trading, you should strongly support the Turkic tribes to smuggle horses for cross-border trading in other cities, and guard the border.  The generals should say hello in advance. If looting occurs, it will be of no benefit to our government. When cleaning cattle, sheep and horses, they should wash them with clean water. The excrement should be disposed of in time and sent to the government as fertilizer. Regularly clean the horses, cattle pens,  Sheepfold. Spread lime. Prepare some garlic. If an epidemic occurs, garlic can be used as medicine to control the epidemic. Isolate sick animals in time. In addition, horses, cattle and sheep should be handed over to the government in a timely manner. If possible, ask the Turks if they have any intention to buy or sell slaves.  From the pre-Sui Dynasty to the present, every time there is a war, the Turks will always capture a group of prisoners of war and use them as slaves. The Han people have a low status in the Turks and live in poverty. If there is a possibility of buying and selling slaves, buy back all the Han people who were captured in the past at all costs. To prevent them from happening again.  Suffering from Turkic slavery. Turkic slaves can also be bought back. Today, cities are being built and roads are being renovated throughout the Tang Dynasty. The labor force is extremely scarce, and the Turkic people are hard-working and uncomplaining, and are excellent laborers. At the same time, they can also be bought through the Han people in the Turks and the purchased ones.  Turkic slaves, drawing Turkic maps for use in counterattacking Turks."

    These things all came to Huang Junming's mind at the last moment. Although the words are somewhat lacking, the meaning is very clear.  In Huang Junming's memory, both the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.  Or the Tang Dynasty versus the Turks. Every year, many people were taken by the Turks to the northern Turks to be slaves. The status of these slaves was not even as high as the status of the livestock raised by the Turks. The male slaves were the laborers of the Turks raising livestock.  The slaves of technology worked under the Turks' scimitars, made weapons, and then the Turks came to the land of China to rob them, and so on.  The life of the female slaves was even more miserable. After being robbed, the female slaves became a child-bearing machine for the Turks. When the children they gave birth to grew up, they took up arms and came to attack the Tang Dynasty.  In times of disaster, in order to save food, nomadic tribes would kill slaves, old and young, and those who were infirm were often killed. It can be said to be quite cruel. Although Huang Junming thought of this, it was accidental, but  Because of the same bloodline, I really can't bear to let these compatriots continue to suffer.  You must know that when the Turks came last year, they captured 5,000 people in Qinzhou.  I don’t know how many people will be able to return to Datang alive after this year has passed.

    According to what Wan Mingzi said, the Turks are now in a rather embarrassing time. Last year, a lot of livestock and people froze to death due to heavy snowfall. Presumably many Han people were also killed, right?  At the same time, just because the Turks are not doing well now, if Wan Mingzi and the others are allowed to exchange for the Han people in the Turks through trade, I am afraid the Turks will be happy to accept it.  At least one more piece of cloth can protect you from the cold in winter, and some more gold and silver utensils must be in the hearts of those Turkic nobles.  Those exquisite artifacts should be worth more than a slave.

    Huang Junming thought about it for a while and then wrote: "In addition, it is said that among the Turks there are the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, the former Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, and a prince. Find out more about this matter. It is rumored that the most precious treasure of China is the 'Jade Seal of the State'.  In their hands. If there is a chance to bring Princess Yicheng, Queen Xiao, the prince or the imperial seal back to our court, it will be a great achievement. If you cannot bring it back, find out the location. Wait for the counterattack against the Turks.  Intend."

    "As for when to counterattack the Turks, I don't need to worry about it for the time being. Datang will not have any external wars this year and will focus on internal development. Next year's locust plague will cause the Turks to suffer serious losses, and long-term trade will make them lack food.  Coupled with the serious backlog of public dissatisfaction, chaos will definitely occur. This is the time for our Tang Dynasty to counterattack the Turks. The current goal is to win over the pro-Tang tribes in order to split the Turks. At the same time, draw a map and find out where the Turkic royal court is. In preparation for war  When the time calls for it.”

    When Huang Junming wrote this, he stopped writing again, picked up the letter written by Wan Mingzi and Mu Xuanzi, read it, and then wrote: "About the Western Qin Ye Sect, don't worry too much for the time being. This sect is in the midst of a crisis."  In the midst of chaos, and too far away from our country, there is no need to worry too much about Mohammed. It will be pacified within ten years.The whole territory of Tang Dynasty and the development of the ideology and religion it promotes are actually the great enemies of our Tao in the future. There will be a battle between Tang Dynasty and Shi Dynasty in the future. There is an opportunity to collect the tactics of the next religion.  Save for future use.  As for the Tianzhu Buddhism you mentioned, I am already aware of it.  And have some plans, you don’t have to think about it for now.  It is the right way to develop Taoism among the Turks and vigorously promote border trade between the two countries as the basis.  It is your mission to pay attention to all aspects of information.  I hope my disciples will remember this.  "

    Huang Junming took the paper with the reply and read it from beginning to end. It seemed that there were some omissions. After the counterattack against the Turks, he wrote in small characters, "Collect information on the capital of Liang as soon as possible and wait until next year to destroy it."

    After writing this, Huang Junming checked and found that there were no omissions, and then wrote: "I am in Chang'an as a teacher. I want to travel around the land of China after the compilation of Dao Zang is completed. If I have time, I will go to Shangcheng and talk to you. The place of Shangcheng  We are in a remote place and the situation is complicated. Please take care of your health and pay more attention to what is going on around you. There are thousands of words that are difficult to write on paper. Everything is left unsaid. I hope my disciples will take care of it. Above, in July of the first year of Zhenguan, Centenary  .”

    Huang Junming grabbed the pen and seemed to write two or three more sentences, but he didn't know what to write.  I had no choice but to put it aside and wait for the ink on the letter to dry.  Find an envelope, carefully fold the letter paper and put it in the envelope.  Then he picked up the pen and wrote on the envelope one stroke at a time: "My disciples Wan Mingzi and Mu Xuanzi personally signed it." The signature also read in small characters "Chang'an Tianxian Palace Centenary Son."

    After writing this, I didn’t seal it with the fire seal. I changed my hands and put the letter aside. There is no use sealing it with the fire seal now.  There was some information between the two letters that he wanted to tell Li Shimin. When Li Yuanheng left just now, Huang Junming was immersed in Wan Mingzi's letters and forgot about this for a while. Now he feels a little regretful when he thinks about it.

    Huang Junming didn't reply much to Wan Mingzi and Mu Xuanzi, but he also revealed enough information about these two people, such as Christianity and Islam. Huang Junming said to Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng,  I told Sun Simiao, but I haven't told anyone other than these people. Since these two people have noticed these two religions, let's reveal some information to them first. Maybe they will have some ideas after they understand it.  .  After all, they are far away from the border, so it is easier to access this information and they can handle some things in a timely manner.  It’s not a bad thing to let them know about these things.

    But then again, Huang Junming is really like what he said in his letter. He is very pleased with what these two people did in the border area. Nothing else, just for the sake of this Chinese Taoism that has not been able to escape for thousands of years.  This step towards the national gate was finally taken under the hands of these two people.  This was enough to make Huang Junming happy for a while.

    Taoism is not unsuitable for external transmission, but it has a fatal premise, that is, Taoism is inseparable from the entire Chinese culture. If you want to understand Taoism, you must understand Chinese culture.  Throughout ancient history, anyone who understands Chinese culture is assimilated by Chinese culture and becomes a member of China.  Therefore, Huang Junming relied on this powerful method of Taoism to the great dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

    The Tang Dynasty was destined to be restless and destined to expand outwards. It was precisely because the Tang Dynasty would expand, and because of its strength, that it would allow barbarians to come to the dynasty and all nations would surrender. It is precisely because of this that the surrounding vassal countries and large countries would surrender.  The territory conquered by the Tang Dynasty came into contact with Chinese culture and was gradually assimilated by Chinese culture. Only then did Taoism have the possibility to move further to the outside world.  Since ancient times, every emperor has had some desire to expand territory, and every general has had the desire to split the land and create a feudal lord.  And this kind of expectation and desire is the east wind that Taoism needs, taking Taoism to ride the wind and waves, go beyond the borders and go further.

    Now the Turks are still the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty and have not been destroyed. However, the Turks have learned about Taoism in advance through trade with the Tang Dynasty, and Wan Mingzi and Mu Xuanzi have lived up to expectations and expanded Taoism.  This is tantamount to finding a new model for the development of Taoism, a model worth learning from. Relying on the Tang Dynasty is one, and through commercial trade is two. I believe that after a period of time, Taoism will spread throughout Asia.  It would be an empty statement.
