Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Second: Talking about the heart, regardless of the trace, there is n
"In the past, when floods and droughts occurred, food for disaster relief could not be transported at all, and many victims died of starvation or plague. But with trains, food can quickly enter the disaster area, and various medicines, doctors, etc. can quickly enter the disaster area.
.Very few people died of hunger or disease!”
"In the past, there were droughts and floods, and the casualties were huge. Hundreds of thousands or millions of people died, which was extremely normal. But with trains, the casualties were limited to less than 10,000 people. In recent years, floods and droughts have continued, and the situation in the court has been
It was not stable either, but with the train, the situation was stabilized!"
"Because of the railway, the Zhou Dynasty was forced to live for another hundred years! All of this was done by King Wushuang!"
Zhao Jian said, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Railways speed up transportation and can be used for disaster relief, but this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, it increased the flow of materials from various places and strengthened the connections between various places. The Zhou Dynasty's control over the world increased a lot invisibly.
"I know that the Wushuang King's name is Li Mu, with the courtesy name Tuizhi. At the age of twenty-two, he passed the imperial examination and later came to the south of the Yangtze River as the magistrate of Yinxian County, the Tongpan of Ningbo, and the Tongpan of Jinling. Later, he became the Prince Consort
, became Wushuang Hou and Wushuang King. He once went north to Youzhou to fight against the Yuantu Kingdom, but unfortunately he was betrayed by a traitor, which led to the fall of Youzhou!"
Zhao Mingyue said, with stars twinkling in her eyes, talking about all kinds of news about Wushuang King, like a little fangirl.
Many people may not know what the current emperor teaches; but many people know the name of King Wushuang.
Zhao Jian said: "The practice of railways and the construction of trains have benefited countless people. The power of disasters in many places has continued to decrease. The scene of millions of people dying of hunger in the past will never happen again. Again
He invented chemical fertilizers, and a large amount of chemical fertilizers spread to all parts of the world. In many areas, the yield per mu has increased from 300 jins to 500 jins per mu, and countless people are alive!"
"What King Wushuang did can be described as a saint!"
Thinking about Wushuang King's behavior, I can only admire him.
But this time, a voice came and said: "It is appropriate to say that the King of Wushuang is unparalleled in the world, but to say that the King of Wushuang is a saint is unworthy!"
As the sound appeared, a man in white appeared, it was the benefactor who saved them not long ago.
The man in white said: "I am familiar with King Wushuang. He does good deeds and is not pure of heart. He has his own purpose! As the saying goes, doing good things only for others to see is not true and good, and doing evil for fear of others knowing is a great evil!"
"Meet my benefactor!"
Zhao Jian stood up and said respectfully: "But I really cannot agree with your benefactor's opinion!"
The man in white said: "Why is that?"
Zhao Jian said: "There once was a saint who had two disciples, one named Zilu and the other named Zigong. Zilu saved a man and accepted a cow as a gift from others. In the end, he was praised by the saint; and after Zigong saved the man,
Asking nothing in return, yet the saint criticized it!”
"The law of the State of Lu is that the people of Lu take concubines to the princes, and those who can redeem them take their gold from the government. Zigong redeems the people of Lu from the princes, and gives them away without taking their gold. The sage said: "Give them what they have lost.
.From now on, the people of Lu do not redeem people. If you take the gold, you will not be harmed by the deeds. If you do not take the gold, you will not redeem the people." When Zilu saved someone, the people worshiped him with an ox, and Zilu accepted it. The sage said
: "The people of Lu will save those who are drowned. "A sage sees things in detail and sees things far away."
"It can be seen that saints are opposed to selfless dedication... because he will raise the moral level of the world, but instead cause the moral level of the world to decline!"
The man in white seems to have realized something: "I understand! Sages are taboo about karma. A sage will not owe others karma. If he owes others karma, he must repay it. But a sage will not allow others to owe him karma. The debt must be owed.
It has to be repaid. It's like a rich man who has tens of billions of assets and can lend one million to his old classmate. In the end, he still has to repay the old classmate, even if the repayment takes a long time... You can't forgive the old classmate just because your family has money.
Classmate’s debt. Because this will encourage the culture of getting something for nothing!”
Just like, although China in the previous life was rich, it should not easily forgive the debts of certain countries.
Because of course, winning moral praise in this way will also make some countries have a luck mentality, encourage the mentality of getting something for nothing, and encourage laziness.
Zhao Jian said: "When it comes to the heart, regardless of deeds, there is no filial son in a poor family; when it comes to the heart, regardless of deeds, there is no saint in the world! The sage does not care about the heart when it comes to deeds, and the villain does not care about deeds in terms of heart... Don't be harsh on others!"
"Speaking of the fact that there are no saints in the world!"
The man in white suddenly smiled.
Thinking of the prehistoric world, Zhunti was shameless, primitive was shameless, Jie Yin was shameless, Nuwa was shameless, and even I was nothing.
Zhunti is shameless, beating sap everywhere, cheating and swindling everywhere, and losing the face of the saint.
Primitive and shameless, he directly bullies the younger brother with his elder brother, and even bullies the younger brother with his second brother.
As for me, I am even more shameless. It is not enough for the eldest brother and the second brother to join forces to beat the third brother. He also has to team up with outsiders to beat the younger brother.
As for Nuwa, she is also shameless. She abandons her children and is the most irresponsible mother.
Hongjun is also shameless. After the end of the Lich, the prehistoric world has been severely degraded. In the Lich Age, Daluo walked everywhere, and Quasi-Sages trembled; but in the Age of Gods, Daluo and Quasi-Sages did not come out, and the Golden Immortals fought;
As for the later Journey to the West, it was even more children fighting.
It seems that all saints have a shameless side.
But is the saint really so miserable?
Hongjun opened up the road to immortality and started the civilization of immortality. He can be said to be the ancestor of Taoism. He ended the Lich-level war. In the following years, there were no more world-level wars. The people of the ancient world were much more stable. Peace was the main thing. Even if there was a war,
It is also dominated by local conflicts.
Lao Tzu knows without doing anything, does everything without doing anything, and spreads the golden elixir method throughout the world.
Yuan started elite education, and Tongtian started civilian education.
As for Zhunti Jieyin, he was not born well and had a bad background, but he worked hard and changed everything. It is also an inspirational legend.
What they did was worthy of the word saint.
As for the fact that in the process of educating sentient beings, they seek merit and luck to improve their cultivation, in the eyes of many people, it seems to be somewhat utilitarian.
At least, in their eyes, a saint should be selfless.
Just like in a leisurely journey, the saint has no name, the god has no merit, and the perfect person has no self.
But in fact, no one can be selfless.
Hongjun preached in order to go further.
The way of heaven seems ruthless and superior, but it also has the instinct of the world to evolve and become stronger.
Even saints have the desire to constantly become stronger.
Even if you kill three corpses, you can kill the evil thoughts, the good thoughts, and the obsessions, but you can't kill the desire to become stronger. If you kill the desire to become stronger, what kind of saint will you become?
