Chapter 307: Buddhism’s Choice and Influence

After Shichan and others, relying on their powerful strength and the image of the Buddha, quickly subdued a temple and the surrounding people.

They immediately expanded to the surrounding areas in the same way.

In the end, when Shichan and others found that not only the Buddhist Dharma in Tianzhu was declining, but also its strength was extremely weak.

They immediately dispersed and went to various places around to suppress and subdue local sects and people.

Of course, for the sake of safety, except for the strongest Shichan who sat in the center and was ready to support all parties at any time, the others also went in pairs.

Village by village, town by town, they quickly occupied an area equivalent to half of the province of Tianchao.

However, at this time, they gradually became a little stretched.

After all, they only had more than 20 people.

Although the people in these areas were very obedient after being suppressed and subdued.

However, with the expansion of the territory, coupled with their lack of proficiency in management, more and more things naturally occurred.

At this point, Shi Chan and others also knew why the team that occupied one province in Africa could have occupied a larger area, but notified the Celestial Empire when it only had one province.

In addition to trying to see if this was feasible.

Perhaps more importantly, it was because they couldn't manage it.

Shi Chan stood in the air, watching the national destiny that originally belonged to Tianzhu in the distance, which began to be divided continuously, and one piece after another of independent bright yellow light bloomed, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What should they do next?

Directly contact the Celestial Empire and incorporate the area occupied by them into the Celestial Empire.

Or for the time being, do more in-depth preaching in the area occupied by them.

When someone who occupies other areas wants to attack them, then incorporate the area occupied by them into the Celestial Empire.

The two options have their own advantages and disadvantages.

If they are incorporated into the Celestial Empire now, there will naturally be officials sent by the Celestial Empire to govern here. They can continue to expand, occupy more places, and gain more meritorious contributions.

If the expansion speed is temporarily slowed down and the territory occupied by others is deeply cultivated and developed, the Buddhist thought can naturally be more deeply integrated into people's hearts.

But in the end, Shi Chan gave up the latter.

Let alone how much time he can give them if he wants to cultivate the territory occupied by others.

Just because of what the Celestial Empire is doing now and its strong strength, they'd better not play those little tricks.

In the end, the one who suffers is definitely not the Celestial Empire government, but their Buddhist sect.

However, even if it is now incorporated into the Celestial Empire, he can also make some operations to obtain greater benefits.

Of course, this must be legal and compliant.

After some contemplation, Shi Chan looked at two places where the national destiny was obviously stronger and more condensed, and the same as the national destiny of the Celestial Empire.

There, they belonged to the Fourteenth Yellow Son and the Sixteenth Prince respectively.

As royal descendants, going out is to expand territory and occupy their own fiefdoms.

Naturally, they are different from others.

At the very beginning, the place they occupied belonged to the Celestial Empire.

As for why they are particularly concerned, it is naturally because Shi Chan chose to join a certain prince.

Firstly, by doing so, they have indeed joined the Celestial Empire.

They can naturally obtain the benefits of joining the Celestial Empire.

Secondly, by joining a certain prince, they naturally strengthen his power and territory.

I think they should also give some rewards, right?

For example, the autonomy period can be slightly extended.

After all, they join a certain prince, and naturally they are subordinates of the prince's fiefdom.

Within the prince's fiefdom, it is not twenty years of autonomy, but a hundred years of autonomy.

As for the future, within the Celestial Empire, the princes and princesses only have mansions.

If they want to have autonomous fiefdoms, they can only fight out and occupy other worlds.

At that time, these places will be permanent autonomous areas, which can be called fiefdoms.

Of course, that is all in the future.

Today, Shi Chan chose this for the prince's hundred-year autonomy.

They join the prince with the occupied areas, and extend the autonomy of the areas occupied by themselves and others for another twenty years? That should be no problem, right?

If it really doesn't work, it's not unacceptable to extend it for about ten years.

And what he has to do now is to choose which prince to join.

In the end, Shi Chan chose the sixteenth prince Wang Jingyu among the two princes, one in the south and one in the north.

It's not that the sixteenth prince Wang Jingyu is so heroic and extraordinary, but because the sixteenth prince Wang Jingyu is farther away from them.

As for why he chose the sixteenth prince who is farther away.

Because, because there are more blank unoccupied areas between them.

If they surrender, maybe the large area in the middle can be included in their own territory.

As for the fourteenth prince who is closer, what if he borders them at this time.

Anyway, the law of the Celestial Empire has long stipulated that the Celestial Empire's territory cannot be attacked.

Otherwise, their title of king this time will be revoked.

When it comes to the next title of king, it's unknown when it will be.

It's even hard to say whether there will be any chance.

Because, by that time, the entire earth may be occupied by the Celestial Empire, where can they occupy their own fiefdom?

Well, although many high-level cultural relics and princes and princesses have known the existence of other worlds.

But after all, they have not let it go.

Therefore, the common people and various forces still do not know the existence of other worlds.

Therefore, Shi Chan and others do not think that at this critical moment of competing for the title of king, someone will risk violating the laws and rules and attack them.

In this way, as long as they belong to the sixteenth prince, they will never have to worry about the attack of the fourteenth prince.

Of course, although things are not as Shi Chan thought, after losing this opportunity, the chance of regaining the title of king is slim.

However, even if the princes and princesses already know the existence of other worlds, they do not mean to violate the laws and rules of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Doing so will not benefit them in any way except to cause dissatisfaction with the dynasty.

They are not stupid, why do they have to violate the corresponding laws and rules?

On the other hand, after making up his mind, Shi Chan no longer hesitated and immediately crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to the territory of the sixteenth prince.

As for the surrender of Buddhism, the Sixteenth Prince Wang Jingyu did not refuse at all, and agreed very happily, and even generously gave them twenty years of autonomy again.

After knowing that there are many other worlds outside the Celestial Empire, his eyes have long been on the heavens, no longer confined to this corner of this world.

What's more, this territory is autonomous, so-called autonomy.

In fact, the legal system in it still has to follow the laws of the Celestial Empire. At most, it is propaganda and learning, and they can mix private goods in it.

Or in the appointment of officials, they will also have a certain right of choice.

Just like applying for a job at the same time and being qualified at the same time, they can choose the person who is biased towards them.

In this way, on the second day, the national destiny of the Celestial Empire instantly crossed the space and descended from the territory of the Sixteenth Prince.

In a very short time, it radiated and covered the entire territory.

This area has become the territory of the Celestial Empire.

Influenced by this, many surrounding forces also began to choose to stand in line and join the different princes and princesses. (End of this chapter)
