Qi Xuansu affirmed Zhang Yuelu's method of changing the Taoism, but rejected Zhang Yuelu's methods.
No wonder Zhang Yuelu fell silent.
As for why Qi Xuansu did not raise this point of view until now.
One is that Qi Xuansu is constantly thinking and growing. It is impossible for him to have this idea when he first came to Tiangang Hall to work as a deacon. That would be unrealistic. Qi Xuansu's various experiences and knowledge over the years have prompted him to have this understanding.
The second is Zhang Yuelu's problem. She is, at best, courageous and unyielding the more frustrated she is. At worst, she is a little paranoid, has too correct ideas, and is easily disobedient. If she is not allowed to hit a wall, even if Qi Xuansu says
Well, Zhang Yuelu may not be able to listen.
The third is to proceed step by step. You cannot go directly to the topic at the beginning. You must first play the drums and then slowly advance.
Now that Zhang Yuelu has encountered setbacks, he has begun to reflect on his rights and wrongs. Qi Xuansu had some preparations before. If he speaks these words now, Zhang Yuelu can listen to them and it will have a good effect.
At least Zhang Yuelu didn't refute it directly. She obviously began to think about the feasibility of looking outside and then looking inward.
Qi Xuansu temporarily cut off the contact with He Luoshen, set up a formation, and began to tell Zhang Yuelu his specific thoughts in detail for the first time.
Qi Xuansu's ideas obviously took into account the ideas of Li Changge and Zhang Yuelu.
To put it bluntly, Li Changge's idea is that one handsome person can cover up all ugliness. If the pie is not divided enough, make it bigger. If it is not divided enough, continue to make it bigger. It is a bit like adding water if there is too much noodles, and adding noodles if there is too much water. But there is always something that cannot be covered.
When living, there is always a limit to expansion.
Zhang Yuelu advocated changing the distribution ratio and cutting off the meat in real terms. This would poke the lungs and heart of many of his own people at once, and cutting off people's financial resources would be like killing their parents. It would be strange if they didn't try their best.
Qi Xuansu's theory in plain language is: Let's make the pie bigger first, ease internal conflicts, facilitate internal integration and unite our own people, and then change the distribution ratio.
Although some people's share ratio has been reduced, because the pie is larger than in the past and the overall base has become larger, the things they get are not reduced, and their resistance is not that great. In addition, the success of drawing the pie has brought
With the prestige and power, the big stick and the sweet dates, the matter is almost done.
Just like the share restructuring of a company, the number of shareholders in the company increases and the shareholding ratio decreases. However, as long as the company becomes bigger, the actual dividends received from the shares will not decrease, and may even increase.
Of course, the premise of all this is to win.
If you lose, then nothing will happen. Let alone making the pie bigger, I'm afraid that a piece of the existing pie will be cut off. As the main responsible person, even the top leader will have to pay a sufficient price and lose his power.
, infamy for eternity.
If you succeed, you will be honored forever, and your name will go down in history. If you fail, you will be ruined and your reputation will be ruined forever.
Maybe there are people with a relatively high moral bottom line who would like to say, why should we start a war? Is it possible not to fight? How many lives will be lost.
Of course, you can prepare for civil war instead of fighting outsiders.
This has been the case in all dynasties. After conflicts accumulate to a certain extent, the world will inevitably be in chaos and reincarnation will begin again.
Everyone in storytelling knows the opening sentence: The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will unite.
Countless experiences have proven that it is difficult to rely on internal reforms to save ourselves. Human nature is here.
Even if this framework is overthrown and a new one is rebuilt, and all those with vested interests are wiped out, force will still be used and lives will be lost. It is never as simple as treating guests to a meal.
To put it bluntly, some people not only want to let others spit out the benefits they have swallowed, but also want to be harmonious and calm without any blood. The key is to stand on a dry shore.
This is waiting for pie to fall from the sky.
The redistribution of interests will inevitably be accompanied by the disappearance of some people.
In the past, during the Wei Dynasty, the imperial palace mainly had two colors, golden roof and red wall. Gold symbolized interests and red symbolized blood. Interests were based on violence and killing.
Although these people want to change, they do not have the courage to draw a line with the interests they already have. This results in them wanting to change but being afraid of change. This is their weakness.
Especially when their own survival is threatened, they will give up their resistance to a large extent, and then sacrifice part of their own interests in exchange for the possibility of survival, continue to compromise, continue to be oppressed, and pay "protection fees"
In exchange for some of the benefits that you may get, this is its compromise.
This view is very popular and is mixed with concepts such as peace-loving and taking the overall situation into consideration to cover up and package one's true intentions.
In addition, when everything goes well, these people are more eager for quick success than anyone else. When the wind goes against them, they will be desperate, conservative, escaping, and surrendering in turn, which is their fanaticism.
No one wants war, but when war comes, no one can stop it. The only difference is who to fight.
Even if you are an immortal, if you want to block the torrent of the world, you can only do it with a mantis' arm.
Qi Xuansu was not arrogant, nor did he think Taoism was superior to others, nor did he want to take risks in military matters. This was what the Taiping Taoist Society did.
Qi Xuansu just understood deeply that if the current situation of the Three Kingdoms could not be transferred and resolved, the story of the Three Kingdoms would have to repeat itself sooner or later.
Zhang Yuelu's various efforts have shown that the contradiction of uneven distribution and the three party struggles have gradually become entangled. If you want to slowly peel off the cocoon, it is basically impossible to do it. You can only cut the knot quickly.
The choice of whether to suffer for one's own people or to suffer for outsiders is not a difficult one.
Qi Xuansu did not want to incite a fanatical and bellicose atmosphere within the Taoist sect. This was what Taipingdao was doing, such as using the sword of the Taoist sect.
Qi Xuansu's intention is to use controllable force to solve some problems left over from history, such as the Buddhist problem, the secret association problem, the Posuzhou problem, the New World problem, etc. Making the pie bigger is the next step. The key is to strengthen his own prestige, and then
Use the absolute prestige brought by your illustrious martial arts to subdue the opposition and start solving internal problems.
Absolute prestige is always achieved through hard work, not through power play.
The authority of the Grand Master is not completely tied to the position of Grand Master. For example, Xuansheng's authority is significantly higher than that of the Grand Master of the past dynasties, and the authority of the Fifth Generation's Grand Master is also significantly higher than that of the Sixth Generation's Grand Master.
I don’t know how many teachers there are.
It does not mean that becoming a Grand Master will give you the prestige to promote internal reforms. That is not enough. You must further strengthen your own authority on the basis of being a Grand Master.
Of course, this will also bring about a series of follow-up problems, such as the problem of the excessive authority of the Grand Master, the failure of the Deputy Chief Master Dazhenren and Jin Que to restrict the Grand Master, and even the problem of local dominance, etc.
It's just that for every benefit, there will be a disadvantage. There is never a best of both worlds, and there is no dilemma.
Qi Xuansu didn't want to give himself the title of a saint. What he could do was quite limited, so he had to make choices.
To choose the lesser of two evils, he can only give priority to solving the three more harmful problems of division, preserve the basic foundation of the Taoist sect, and then leave the problems he caused to future generations.
If the Taoist sect collapsed directly, then there would be no need to discuss issues such as the excessive authority of the Grand Master.
Just as Xuansheng can only solve the problem of unifying the Taoism, how to make the Taoism move out of the middle is a problem for the following great leaders. Each generation has its own mission and responsibility, and no one can create peace for all ages.
This is the first time Qi Xuansu talks about his ambitions head-on.
He only said these words to Zhang Yuelu. Taoism has dual attributes, possessing both divine power and political power. When talking about political affairs, it can be analyzed objectively, but when talking about faith, it cannot be blasphemed. Therefore, some things are destined not to be discussed easily.
It's like the priests of the Holy See discussing theology. In the inner courtyard of the church, you can boldly discuss the doctrines of scripture, but if you spread these discussions, the Inquisition will come to talk to you.
Zhang Yuelu was a little shocked, and then a little moved.
The person she likes is indeed not someone who is bent on power, but someone who has lofty ambitions, and even thinks more deeply than she does.
Qi Xuansu finally said sincerely: "Qingxiao, our feelings are real, and our mutual trust and mutual help are also real. We only have many differences in concepts. In the past, we put aside the dispute and didn't mention it. But now, we can't
Needless to say, we must have unified thoughts and goals, and then make joint efforts."
"I can't think about how to solve the Buddhist problem here, and you compete with the old Taoist priests over there. This won't work. We have already demonstrated that two fronts are not feasible. So we must not only unify our thoughts, but also
Do you agree with the need to unite the front?"
Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but agree and said: "Tianyuan, you have convinced me."
"That's great." Qi Xuansu smiled slightly, "We can neither seek outside nor seek within. We are still in the stage of accumulating strength. So your first task is to complete the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Code'
'No Word Volume', let alone catching up with Li Changge, at least we can't fall behind Yao Pei, right?"
At the same time, Qi Xuansu looked at the "Eternal Life Pill" in Zhang Yuelu's hand.
Zhang Yuelu naturally understood what Qi Xuansu meant and couldn't help but said: "Now?"
"It's now." Qi Xuansu said, "Don't you want to wait until you return to Yujing? That's when you get married. And when a new official takes office, there are many things to do, and he may not have free time."
Zhang Yuelu said: "But the matter here in Borneo has not been settled yet..."
Qi Xuansu interrupted her directly: "Have you forgotten why I came to Nanyang? Is it just to send Chen Jianchou to take office?"
Zhang Yuelu sighed softly.
Qi Xuansu knew what she was thinking, so he stroked her back and said softly: "This is not dependence, but mutual help. If I encounter difficulties, can't you stand up for me?"
"Of course." Zhang Yuelu sighed again, "Okay then, I'll go and build up my strength, and you'll clean up the mess."
Qi Xuansu said: "That's it, don't worry, I will take care of everything."
