Chapter 269, Human Nature is Greedy

At this time, it was not Wuling Immortal Jun who refuted, but Yang Zongjia, who was not convinced.

"What's wrong with my Wuling? The people live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and are well fed and clothed, compared with the outside world, but they are so good that they don't know where they are. ”

As a member of the sect, he naturally understands some secrets that ordinary people don't know, knows why this Wuling escaped from the world, and knows how strong the contrast between the mess of the outside world and this place is.

"Of course, this is very good, but it is also very commendable, the outside world is still in the midst of a struggle, and there is a lot of deception between countries, competing for resources, national fortune, and it is not an exaggeration to fight for this, and it is indeed good to live and work here in peace and contentment, with plenty of food and clothing, just like paradise. Li Guo changed his words and said, "But if it's really good, your Immortal Monarch won't ask me like this." ”

Yang Zongjia was slightly speechless, but he didn't know how to refute.

That's true, if it's really so perfect as the kingdom of heaven, then Wuling Immortal Jun doesn't have to say so, so asking, he really has some unconfidence in the current situation of Wuling.

Wuling Immortal Monarch said after a moment of silence.

"It is true that Wuwuling has lived and worked in peace and contentment since the retreat, and has had plenty of food and clothing, but for thousands of years, there have always been people like the man who drove the flowing carriage, not satisfied with abundant food and clothing, and there are also some crazy people who have discovered the secret of the closure of this place, and tried everything to get out of here, but because of no guidance, they drowned in the open sea... I don't understand, why is that?"

Wuling Immortal Jun has been thinking about this question for many years, and he has been puzzled for many years.

This question is not available to people above Wuling, and now that people from outside Wuling have entered, they naturally have to ask about it.

Li Guo pondered for a moment and said leisurely.

"Xianjun, do you know what human nature is?"

"What is the nature of human beings?" Wuling Immortal Jun wondered.

"It's human nature to fight and explore. Li Guo said: "Even though Wuling has lived and worked in peace and contentment for thousands of years, the 'unknown' of the open sea is still like honey, attracting people's hearts. ”

Wuling Immortal Jun shook his head and said.

"But our teachings say that there is nothing in the outer sea, so why do they dare to explore the endless void with their flesh and blood?"

"Just like Christopher Columbus discovered the New World and discovered that the earth was round, in their time, for most people, the sky was round and there was only one continent, but there were brave explorers who fought this cage, you can't suppress it, this is nature. ”

"Even if you can wear out your mind in such peace and contentment, as time flies, there will still be pioneers like 'Columbus' and 'Zheng He'... Because no matter how much you suppress it, you can't erase the nature of your mind. ”

Li Guo said lightly.

Giving up a life of peace and contentment, giving up a life of abundant food and clothing may not be understood by many people.

But that's why the 'pioneers' who gave up these lives are so valuable.

"Hmm..."Wuling Immortal Jun seemed to be a little puzzled, and seemed to understand a little, this is the nature of human beings, but he said: "Well, since these people who explore the open sea and the sky are in search of the unknown, what about the people who drive the horse-drawn carriage outside Chumen? In the past few hundred years, there have never been fewer such people, and there are even people who resist in an organized way... Why, isn't Truman doing enough?"

Yan Zhu and Yang Zongjia on the side were dizzy when they heard it, a hundred years is long enough for human beings, but Wuling Immortal Jun is a few hundred years of life with his mouth open, as if it is just a moment for him.

It's like God...

At this time, Li Guo was talking eloquently.

"This brings us to another human problem. ”

"You could call it self-motivated... It can also be called desire. ”

"Desire?" said Wuling Immortal Jun with some doubts.

"Well, this also leads to another problem with your Wuling. Li Guo stared at Wuling Immortal Jun with a serious face and said, "That is class solidification. ”

Class solidification? a word I've never heard before.

This time, both the Yang Zong family and Wuling Xianjun held their breath, like students listening carefully to the class.

"Poor Dao asks you a question. Li Guo didn't look at Wuling Immortal Jun, but looked at the Yang Sect family and asked, "You Wuling, how long has the longest-standing clan existed?"

This is naturally difficult for the Yang Sect family, he said.

"300 years, three hundred years ago, Ye Junsheng, who invented the 'improved flowing horse', because of his flowing horse technology management, the accumulation of three hundred years, so that the strength of the Ye family can be called the top in the horizontal ratio among all tribes. ”

Li Guo asked with a smile.

"So, how long has the average time that the major famous clans in Wuling have been standing?"

"On average... About one hundred and fifty years. Yang Zongjia replied skillfully.

"What kind of problem is here?" Wuling Immortal Jun wondered.

"Immortal Monarch, maybe for you, hundreds of years are just a white horse, but for ordinary people, a hundred years is already a few generations. Li Guo said lightly: "And the problem is that this famous family stands here, although you have enough food and clothing here, and the people can be fed and clothed, but the problem is that there is a difference between food and clothing." ”

"You can also eat and dress warmly when you eat bran vegetables, you can eat full and warm when you eat roast chicken, and you can also eat and dress warm when you eat caviar and crab paste, and there are still differences in this. ”

"Just like you Chu Cheng, compared to the stupidity of the border, the degree of development is a few points higher... This is the 'contrast'. ”

The Yang family is not stupid, and has faintly discovered the problem....

"People who eat bran and throat vegetables want to eat roast chicken, those who eat roast chicken want to eat caviar and crab paste, and those who eat caviar and crab paste want more..." ”

Wuling Immortal Jun also understood, and was a little silent, and he also found that he had overlooked a question.

Desire.

Someone wants something better.

"But my Wuling is not without a way to rise, you know that studying the arithmetic of the institution, governing the country, literature and science, can also be promoted to the famous family. Yan Zhu couldn't help but say, after all, he made the family promote to a famous clan in this way.

"Wuling has done a good job at this point, there is a way to rise, it can be seen that your managers have put in a lot of effort. Li Guo exclaimed, but then shook his head: "But the problem arises here, this is the way to be promoted in Wuling... But it's also the only way. ”

"In the open sea, there is a way to improve the class for the 'college entrance examination', which can make the children of the poor family jump into the dragon gate, go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and become a national weapon. ”

"In that case, why should we do it wrong?" said Yang Zongjia in confusion.

"You are not wrong, if you have to say the wrong thing... It can only be wrong that Wuling is too small. ”

Li Guo said indifferently: "Even though there is a college entrance examination system in my open sea, the college entrance examination is not the only way, scholars have the talent of scholars, chefs have the talent of cooks, and laughing craftsmen have the talents of laughing craftsmen.

"And in Wuling, the only way is to count the organs and govern the country, so what can they do if they have the talent of cooking, the talent of the craftsman, and the people of great talent? It's for class contradictions. ”

Yang Zongjia was a little sluggish when he heard this, and then muttered.

"But... Cook... Laughing Maker... What's in it for Wuling?"

"Yang Zongjia, we have a word called 'building spiritual civilization' in the open sea, after eating and drinking, people will begin to pursue spiritual pleasure, and people who laugh at craftsmen and chefs can bring joy to people's spirits, how can they say that there is no benefit?"

Li Guo pointed outside and said.

"Although your Wuling looks peaceful and prosperous, there is only one color, the trick, the hobby is the trick, the favorite is the trick, the usual is the trick, the thing you talk about is the trick, such a single world, it is already suppressing people's nature, why not try to diversify the development, so that the talents of the chef, the laughing craftsman, and the writer can be brought into play... Let them also have a chance to be able to catch up with the descendants of the famous clan. ”

...

After these remarks, Wuling Immortal Jun was silent for a long time.

He never thought about the construction of spiritual civilization.

In his view, people's needs are to be fed, clothed, and have children.

"When I first entered Wuling, everyone just thought about having a full meal..."Wuling Xianjun said lightly: "A bowl of white rice can make the family happy for a long time." ”

"Immortal Monarch, this is back to the original topic, 'desire', living beings always want more, progress, demand, is always the theme of living beings, not human beings. ”

Li Guo looked at Wuling Immortal Jun with a smile, and focused on the word 'human'.

Wuling Immortal Jun didn't react much, just a little emotional.

"I thought that by isolating them from the chaos and filth of the outside world, peace would always exist in Wuling..."

"Competition leads to progress. Li Guo also shook his head and said: "Born in sorrow, died in peace, now Wuling has your protection, naturally the people live and work in peace and contentment, eat and clothe, and have no past sorrows, but you can't protect Wuling forever, if you lose your protection, Wuling is exposed, what will happen?"

Li Guo didn't give Wuling Immortal Jun any face.

Ordinary human Jin Dan has lived for thousands of years, he can shelter Wuling, and how long can he shelter? After a thousand years, if he does not become a baby, what should he do next?

"Then according to what Mr. said, what should be good?" Yang Zongjia used the honorific title of Mr. and was completely convinced.

Due to the limitations of his knowledge, he has a lot of things that are hazy, and he knows that there is a crux of the problem, but he doesn't know what to do.

But in the final analysis, the Yang family is one of the smartest people in the entire Wuling, and now that he has made a point, he has suddenly opened up and hurriedly sought a way to correct it.

There is a sentence that is very good, and the Yang Zongjia remembers it deeply.

Born in sorrow, dyed in peace —

Progress in competition is the truth!

This made Yang Zongjia faintly think of when he was young, when he worked hardest on the mechanics, it was actually when he was a child and he was admitted to the Truman Tongsheng with others...

Li Guo looked at the Yang Zongjia and said with a slight smile, and his next words were in the voice of a 'preacher'.

"Change, open. ”

The two characters were deeply engraved into the minds of Yang Zong's family, Wuling Xianjun, and Yan Zhu.
