It's late at night.

城隍庙前的百姓都散去了.朱

Zhen and his group were temporarily staying in the City God Temple. Because the village was embarrassed, the City God Temple was disrepaired for a long time. Not only did the paint powder on the statue have fallen off, but even the room was covered with dead grass and no one took care of it.

Tianxi and his group were covered in dust and cleaned up the City God Temple a little.

不过有些东西却是清扫不出去的.

Some passers-by spilled feces and urine directly into the City God Temple, causing Zhang Lingfeng to take out a gold-plated incense ball and hang one in each room. The faint musky smell filled the entire City God Temple, and it also covered the old and fishy smell of the City God Temple.

The atmosphere in the City God Temple was very depressing. Yao Tianxi and others sat from a distance and looked at Zhu Zhen, but no one dared to go up and chat with him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhen's incitement had no effect.

After listening to his speech, the family left after receiving the steamed buns. In their opinion, people with status like Zhu Zhen had no kindness and found a way out for everyone, they were all fake. He just wanted to use everyone.

Everyone chose to leave, even if they still have no food to eat tomorrow, they are likely to starve to death, and they are unwilling to believe Zhu Zhen.

Even if they go to be bandits one day, it will be difficult for them to cooperate with the government, let alone the legendary lord who is a mighty local lord.

The president made them unable to survive anymore, and the lord would have eaten all their bones.

He moved a chair, held the book in his hand, and sat next to the City God and watched. He didn't see any sadness or joy on his face, as if he was a City God.

受人尊敬,受人香火,却干不了什么.他

There are many disciples, some of whom are strategic and some are ambitious.

Over time, he had already summarized a very strange set of experiences, that is, if a person is ambitious, full of use of others, seeks personal gain, and is a complete bad person, it is very simple and easy to accomplish.

But it is the most difficult thing for a person to do good deeds and seek benefits for the people.

It sounds like this view is very strange, but Ye Dui is very clear that this is an eternal truth.

Zhu Zhen was in Gusu before, because he was a fisherman and everyone was a tool he used. He didn't care about the feeling of the fish, so he succeeded.

But what Zhu Zhen wants to do now is fish farming, so it is not that easy.

I don't have any brains. They only know that the bait is very delicious, but they won't have any favors to the fishing people.

Zhu Zhen was thinking about something not far away. The two beautiful ladies tried hard to persuade each other but there was no effect. The old man smiled slightly, shook his head, and couldn't help but think in his heart:

"Young, after all, young. In his opinion, we scholars are probably all pedantic and selfish people? Did he think no one is willing to seek benefits for the people? No, that's because only scholars understand the great principles spoken by sages. But the people don't understand them, so there is education. But it's so difficult to educate the great cause. When a group of people can't even have enough food, what's the use of education? So since Confucius, countless scholars hope to be able to educate the people on behalf of the emperor and the herdsmen, but all failed. In the end, the scholars were isolated and become a brand new class and gentry. This is the benefit of education and the disadvantage of education. Little guy, you are young after all, and you will understand one day, who should you give to your kindness?"

Ye Dui was thinking that he was as old as Zhu Zhen and was also very passionate, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused, but Zhu Zhen walked to him with a pot of sake.

He said, "Old Ye, let's go out to chat?"

Old Ye could not see any disappointment from Zhu Zhen, and was a little surprised, but he immediately understood. It would be abnormal for a young man who had experienced strong storms to give up this little setback.

Dui nodded and said, "Let's go."

The night was nice tonight, the moon was hanging high, and there was a faint layer of moonlight on the ground.

Perhaps because of a full meal in a village, you can often hear noises from every household, accompanied by the occasional barking of hungry dogs and the male owner scolding the dog to watch the dog. Then the trouble will make you a school student.

Then he woke up the sleeping child, who was making noise and eating steamed buns.

Ye Dui and Zhu Zhen casually searched for a stone. Old Master Ye looked at the sporadic lights in the village, pointed to the occasional sound of beating and scolding from the couple in the wind and said with a smile: "Did you see it? This is the life of the lowest-level people in the world. No one can save them. At most, we can choose a few guys who are willing to change their destiny and teach them to read and read. As for the others, how they live, it is their fate. We can't control it, and we can't control it. This is the way of heaven." Zhu

Zhen drank a bowl of sake in one gulp, leaning against the big stone, so lazy that he didn't look like a lord.

"The way of heaven. You Confucian children, who are not capable of being incompetent, don't find reasons for yourself."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a great chaos and the clothes were lost, and scholars did not have dignity.

There are really not many people like Zhu Zhen who mocked him in front of him.

Mr. Ye Dui was not annoyed. At this age, how could he care about anything with a young man like Zhu Zhen? Instead, he said to Zhu Zhen with a playful look on his face: "Then come, tell me, can you do what we Confucians cannot do?" Zhu Zhen said, "

Zhen smiled and said, "Old man, let me ask you something, what do you think is the most basic operating principle in the world?" Ye

Dui pointed to Zhu Zhen, "You kid, did I get started with the school exam? The most basic principle of operation in the world should be the Three Bonds and Five Constant Principles, the King is the Minister, the Father is the Son, and the Husband is the Wife. Everyone does what they should do, and the world will be peaceful. Like us now, the country is not a country, and this is the most basic rule. This has led to chaos in the world." Zhu

Zhen shook his head and said, "Sir, have you ever thought about it? Could this rule be wrong from the beginning?" Ye

Dui was stunned and looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise. Seeing that he didn't seem to be fake, he smiled and said, "Then tell me, what's wrong?" Zhu

Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "My thoughts are ridiculous. Just take them as a joke. Don't take them seriously."

Ye Dui waved his hand, "Okay, stinky brat, we are here. Even if you are crazy, I will not spread it to you. Tell me and let me know more." Zhu

Zhen nodded, "Have you ever thought about this world, have there been monarchs and ministers from the beginning?" Ye

Dui is not like those pedantic scholars who open their mouths and say something like the monarchy and divine authority to Zhu Zhen.

Instead, he nodded and said, "According to some historical records, the ancient ancestors should have lived by water and grass like those on the grassland, hunting, grazing, and even collecting fruits to live."

This time, it was Zhu Zhen's turn to be surprised.

Seeing Zhu Zhen staring at him with wide eyes, Ye Dui smiled and said, "What? Do you think I would say what the monarchy is granted by God? You are wrong this time. Those who believe in this have lived a good life with the stinky feet of the Yuan court. Any scholar who follows the Duke to conquer the world will not believe in these."

Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "I know you have insight, but I didn't expect you to be so enlightened. Since you said that, the question is easy to answer. I think there should be no court in the world at the beginning, and naturally there is no monarch. At the beginning, everyone should live their own lives. At that time, the people should be free and equal. So I think freedom and equality are the most basic principle in the world."

"You boy is really talking nonsense." Mr. Ye Dui was not good at drinking, and after drinking too much, his conversation opened. He pointed to the village and said, "Freedom and equality. In fact, everyone is so eager in his heart. You are right, but it is also a big mistake. Because without the court, no one will resist foreign enemies, no one will fight against the flood. As long as there is a court, there will be kings and ministers. People have selfish intentions. For example, along the way, you often go hunting. I will ask you, do you take the most fat piece of meat every time you get? This is offering, and the court calls this tax. People don't have to worry about being afraid of being bullied by thieves because they pay taxes, and people don't have to worry about flooding and being homeless because they pay taxes. As long as there is a court, there must be order, and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanence."

Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "Sir, you are right. This is what the world has been like for thousands of years. But, look at the people in front of you, can you say that they have not paid taxes? But what are their lives?" Ye

Dui said with a pity: "If you pay taxes but don't enjoy the benefits you deserve, the order will be chaotic and the people will rebel. This is the eternal truth in the world." Zhu Zhu

Zhenxiao said, "But have you ever thought about it? What if we change the order from the beginning? This old order will sooner or later cause chaos. Why don't we avoid it and follow the old path of our ancestors? Isn't this stupid?"

Ye Dui laughed and said, "Change the order? Are you crazy or stupid? The order we use is passed down by our ancestors and has been used for thousands of years. If you want to re-order, do you think you are a saint? Even if you are a saint, you can't do it!"

Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "It's not that I can't do it, it's because no one does it."

Then tell me, what are you going to do? Look at the people today, how many people are taking care of you?"

Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "The ancients liked to compare the world to deer, monarch, minister, and people live by eating this deer. However, this deer is only as big as Jiuzhou. However, as the world is too peaceful, the appetite of bureaucrats and monarchs will become bigger and bigger, and the meat left for the people will be less and less. However, the population of the people is growing again, so there will be famine, and then there will be great chaos. This is a rule that cannot be changed in previous dynasties. But what do we do when we are doing deer?"

Are you talking about expansion?" Ye Dui suddenly realized something, and then shook his head, "Since ancient times, the imperial court has been working hard to control Jiuzhou. Even if it is expanding more territory, we cannot manage it. That is a waste of effort."

Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "You misunderstood me this time. I mean, I'm going to let Jiuzhou have two deer or even three deer and four deer?" Ye

Dui suddenly had a serious look and looked at Zhu Zhen with a serious face.
