Chapter 58: Premonition of Madness, Reverse Current of Cause and Effect (Part 2)
"The emergence of these heroes means that the dividends accumulated in the positive direction since the founding of the Wu Dynasty have been completely squandered by the predecessors.?"
The autumn wind was blowing, and there seemed to be slight waves on the grass slope. The sunset gradually faded and the coolness of the evening gradually rose, but for the two of them, this was not a problem. After Ning Yi finished speaking, Qin Shaoqian thought
Thinking about it, he muttered softly: "Although I don't understand a little, haven't the founding dividends been squandered long ago..."
"After the squandering, I started to use the country's capital..." Ning Yi smiled, "Does Second Young Master believe in cause and effect?"
"A few women around me believe it, but I... don't believe it." Qin Shaoqian picked up a string of beads on his hand and shook it, "I remember Li Heng didn't believe it either, right?"
"I believe that everything has a cause and a result. I don't believe in karma and retribution."
"What's the difference?"
"It's an arithmetic problem." Ning Yi drank and thought for a while. The lights in the military camp and yard in the distance gradually lit up, and traces of people gathered under the dusk sky. After a long while, he continued to talk.
.
"Every one of us must have a cause and effect when we do something. This is of course correct. In the general direction, if we kill Zhang Jue, the Jurchens will feel that we are cowardly. If they think we are weak, they will start to beat us. You kill us.
A person, his family wants to seek revenge from you. And in a small way, what Xiang Qin did in the past, what he said in front of you, the second young master, and what you saw, led to your current character, the second young master, and the Jurchens are here.
, even though you know that you may not be able to win, you will not choose to escape..."
"Of course!" Qin Shaoqian smiled.
Ning Yi also smiled: "The occurrence of every cause and effect is of course very complicated to calculate. But every thing we do, even a word or an action, will lead to other things and some effects. Some of these effects are positive.
Some of them are negative. The problem is that the appearance of causes is fixed for everyone, while the arrival of effects is random for everyone."
Qin Shaoqian frowned, obviously confused.
Ning Yi took the branches and drew several circles on the ground.
"The thing is like this, let's assume that there are ten people in a society. They do good things and bad things. On this day, each person creates a positive one and a negative one, so there are ten of each kind, but they
In a society as a whole, every drop of positive one and negative one is random. Then it is very likely that this person can get two positive ones and not even one negative one. He is lucky, and another person,
If two negative ones fall on his head, he will be unlucky. Maybe he is wronged, maybe he is ostracized... And if his background is not enough, he may get a negative ten. Those who can't stand it will die.
Already."
Qin Shaoqian ate and thought for a while: "Then this is not completely random. If I kill a person, his family must seek revenge from me."
"But the calculation of cause and effect is not a simple addition and subtraction. Every moment, the causes of countless people are intertwined, which is troublesome." Ning Yi smiled, "You killed this person's father, and he has been there since he was a child.
He has no father anymore. He was bullied and looked down upon by others. In order to take revenge, he did many bad things. In order to kill you, he also killed many people to practice his skills... But it is also possible that he was bullied and looked down upon by others.
, someone took pity on him, gave him a good life, and resolved the hatred in his heart... The cause and effect of everyone, gathered together, will eventually fall on everyone's head. Putting aside natural disasters, the total amount is basically unchanged
.”
"It seems a bit interesting..." Qin Shaoqian said, "What does that have to do with bonuses or something?"
"We create causes and the consequences are of course beneficial and harmful to the country. The country is a huge system. Through the operation of this system, it absorbs these causes and effects every day, and through legal and other means, it tries its best to
Let these causes and consequences fall evenly on everyone's head."
The nearby soldiers lit torches and lit a bonfire nearby, while Ning Yi beat the small circle on the ground.
"When the country was first founded, people were positive and motivated. They had gone through wars and knew that peace was hard-won. They were prepared for danger in times of peace and would not easily create causes that would harm the country - that is, they would not do bad things that would harm the country. Because this country
They are also young, and all systems are very sensitive and will respond quickly to these things. So in the initial period, the country continued to become stronger. But as time passed, some people always gained a lot of positive direction.
Because of this, he became a landlord, a big family, and a small circle in the court..."
Before Ning Yi finished speaking, Qin Shaoqian nodded: "I understand, now it's time to fall down."
"That's right." Ning Yi also nodded, "When an interest group appears, it will first safeguard its own interests. It will do some small kindness and create some positive numbers, but it will still continue to expand itself. Think about it, a big
The official's family has acquired the land of one hundred thousand peasant households. Even if he collects less rent, the positive income created by his family is still very small. And these one hundred thousand households, at the very least, they don't have much in the first place.
Who would think that this country has something to do with him? They may be simple, but their ability to resist risks is insufficient. When a few more negative numbers fall on them, their families will be ruined, and then they will become a group that continues to create negative numbers.
Machines, and so on, the country will only get worse and worse, which is also determined by human nature."
Ning Yi continued: "In the later stage of the country, there are more and more negative numbers, and there are fewer and fewer positive numbers that can benefit the country. When the functions of the country are affected, the digestion of negative numbers cannot be even. Sometimes there is a big
Heaps of blame and consequences will fall on you, such as unjust, false and wrongful convictions, or big fluctuations that you cannot withstand. Those who cannot bear it will have no choice but to die."
"And when the country collapses, a lot of negative causes have accumulated at the level of the entire country. They are historical debts, and someone must pay them back. How much can one person pay back, even if he encounters a problem?
No matter how small a part is, human lives must be used to fill it. The negative number created by the people of a country must be filled by hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of human lives. This is...the cause and effect that I understand."
Qin Shaoqian looked at the circles he drew, which were clearly extinguishing in the firelight: "Then Li Heng still says he doesn't believe in cause and effect?"
"I believe in cause and effect. I don't believe in retribution." Ning Yi clicked on the circle representing ten people, "Every negative value that falls on a person's head has an equal chance. You and I are the same. We just bear the risk and
The ability of bad luck is different. In the Wu Dynasty, 100 million people may receive good or bad luck equally, but you will only know how much you will receive when it comes down. But if you can't bear it, you will die...
...Each of us has only one life to live. If we can reincarnate for ten thousand lives, then we really have complete equality. But if there is no reincarnation, only luck and acceptance of fate are left."
"There is reincarnation, and there will be retribution. You create good karma, and the good results will always come back, but I..." When Ning Yi said this, he paused obviously. Then he said, "But I don't believe in reincarnation, so I don't believe in retribution.
"
The wind blew from the sky, and night birds were flying. The two of them talked about this, and they were silent for a long time, and then drank with each other. Although Qin Shaoqian is a warrior and is relatively straightforward in his actions, it does not mean that he is not wise. Ning Yi's statement, he carefully
Thinking about it, I still understand it after all, but the result is too heavy.
"Li Heng thinks that our Wu Dynasty...has reached this point?"
"I'm not sure." Ning Yi said, "Maybe it won't collapse, but the emergence of good and evil causes is obviously uneven. The country is no longer strong enough, and foreign enemies invade. At this time, a large number of human lives will be filled.
.There are also some people, just like this country's... immunity, who will take the initiative to face it and absorb a lot of evil consequences, but if they can't bear it, they will die. Such people are the so-called heroes."
Qin Shaoqian's eyes lit up and he drank a glass of wine: "How many lives do Li Heng think is necessary?"
"I know you want to pay, but one life is not enough." Ning Yi patted his shoulder, "Don't forget, this country owes a debt. The important thing is that before people die, they can pay off their debts and repay their debts."
If we don’t repay the debt, everyone will die, and the most we can do is turn the negative number into zero and start all over again.”
He paused: "So theoretically, the only way to repay the debt is to have many people still alive and able to continuously generate this positive number, find a way to generate positive numbers, and constantly offset those negative numbers. One person cannot offset it.
, Ten thousand people come, one hundred thousand people come, one million people come, when one million people become a whole, they can evenly digest a large number."
"Throughout the dynasties, the so-called innovators have been building a new system, allowing people in a dynasty to use new methods to generate more positive numbers. However... although a system can evenly digest those large negative numbers, in fact
There are always more and less in the world, so some innovators fail and their families are ruined. Some innovators succeed. They extend the life of a country, but at the same time, they also lose their families and people. Because it is not something that one person can bear.
Liveable cause and effect."
Ning Yi smiled: "So speaking of it, although I admire the heroes in front of me and let them speak when telling stories, but essentially I don't like this kind of thing. A country is like a country thousands of miles away.
Embankments, people create good and evil causes in it, just like ants, some are repaired, and some are empty, but many people spend most of their time destroying a country. When Wu Qimai took the oath, Xu Zerun cursed Wu Qimai, and it was said that he died
He is very generous. He has a lot of fertile land in his hometown, bullies men and women, and even has several unjust cases attributed to him. Many people talk about being attacked by foreigners and swear to be different from them, as if this is a big festival and what kind of patriotism
, Actually no, the kind of people who say, "At least I am doing my best," cannot be trusted. If people can be good people in normal times and not be corrupt officials, then that is patriotic. If the country does not let these negative values make it worse,
If we are collapsed and have no strength, how can foreigners invade? How can we need the emergence of these heroes..."
The night was blurry, the stars in the sky were silent, and the voice fell silent. Qin Shaoqian drank wine and laughed twice. The bonfire was burning. At the other end of the field of vision were the brightly lit courtyard, the brightly lit military camp, the brightly lit Dongping Mansion, and the fields far and near.
, villages and waterways. After a while, they changed the topic and talked about the issue of strong walls and clear fields, the remarks of the Gonggun princes, and other pragmatic things. It was not until the two of them got up from the hillside and prepared to go down that Ning Yi
He sighed and patted Qin Shaoqian on the shoulder.
"Second Young Master, I've been talking so much. I know you know something about the war. It's hard to say what will happen to the Wu Dynasty, but people who do practical things sometimes can't be too persistent in everything."
Qin Shaoqian smelled of alcohol and burped for a long time. After a moment, he also looked at Ning Yi: "I know what you mean, Li Heng, but if I retreat now, what will I have to do with those guys I look down on?"
The difference? Li Heng, I am the son of the Qin family. My father is in the court and so many people are staring at him. If I don’t fight back, how many attacks will my father receive? Li Heng, you are knowledgeable. If you really have the right path, it doesn’t matter.
Come and listen."
His last words were a little ironic. The Jurchens had already been killed at such a speed. He went up to meet them. It was a joke to say that he could win. He had 50,000 soldiers, and the opponent had 100,000 soldiers. He
He has only been in charge of Wurui Camp for a year, and the highest ranking official is still a civil servant, and he is just a pharmacist Guo. He has been running Yanjing for several years. Not only does the court have no restraint on him, but he also uses the full strength of the six states of Yanyun to transfuse blood to him. In addition, his daughter
Compared with Zhenren's record when he destroyed the Liao Kingdom and the strength of the Wurui Camp in the past, even if Overlord Xiang Yu, God of War Lu Bu, or White Horse Chen Qingzhi were reincarnated, they would probably have no chance of winning this kind of battle. But how many choices would he have?
These things can be seen by people in the industry to some extent.
"At this point in the world, nothing is right. If you don't go, you will be no different from those guys. If you go, you will lose your troops and generals, giving people every opportunity to defeat them. The same goes for my strong walls and clear fields. It is very likely that I will starve to death because of this migration.
There are more people than those killed by the Jurchens, but what needs to be done is still done. To you, Second Young Master, if you ask me what is right, then I will only say two points. If you can do anything, you can do whatever you want.
OK."
Ning Yi also waved his hand drunkenly: "First! You can kill half of them. Second! You can drag the Jurchen army here for ten days and a half. Any of these two points can be achieved.
"Second Young Master, please die there. If you can't do it, you will die and I will treat you as a coward!"
He sighed: "There are old Qians in Hangzhou, and now there is Zhou Tong. I respect them very much, but Qian Lao is a scholar and a pragmatic person, and Zhou Tong is a man of his own. Second Young Master, you are a general. You have to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and you have to live.
.Like I said, what matters is not human life or zero, but you have to create a positive number in order to help people pay off their debts."
Qin Shaoqian's expression became serious. He looked at the military camp in the distance and then at the sky without saying anything. Ning Yi's words were probably different from his original plan.
Then, in the early morning of the next day, the Wurui Army broke out of camp and turned towards Shouzhang County, preparing to block Wan Yan Zongwang's West Route Army.
Ning Yi stood on the grass slope and watched more than 50,000 people pass by in a majestic manner. He didn't know how many people would come back.
At this time, there was also a serious enough problem before him. It was about the formal work of clearing the country.
When the Jurchens invaded the south, some people avoided it in panic, while others went upstream, but then they discovered that they would all be affected by the torrent and be swept in...
Not long after the conversation between Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian, the greatest chaos erupted in the hinterland of the Central Plains with a violent attitude that no one could resist. (To be continued...) i752
