Chapter 434: The Great River is paved with a monument of merit
Chapter 434 The Great River is paved with a monument
……………………………………
Tiles the Great Wall, guardrails the Yellow River, gold trim the equator, and paint the earth...... It's a big job, and only the best teams in the world can take on these projects. Don't feel absurd, human beings have no dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
Unbelief?
Let's paint the mountains first, give them a sample, turn around and carry a paint bucket to the Sahara, and turn the desert into an oasis in minutes!
Xia Houdun can't do it, the blindfold not only limits his eyesight, but also limits his imagination. Although I really want to say to Liu Hanshao: "I believe in your sister." "But I really don't dare, I can only accompany Hehe Silly Fun, and I don't know if I'm really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
The joke came here, but Liu Hanshao remembered one more thing, and then said: "Yuan Rang, you will inevitably use a lot of stones when you dig ditches and ponds, build dams and embankments." Although the fire method is good, but the burned rocks are broken, and there is no way to use it anymore, brother will tell you an expansion method. For example, if you want to remove a thick slab from the rock, you can draw a line first, then punch holes along the line, and then stuff a wooden wedge into the hole, pour water into it, and the wooden wedge expands when it meets the water, and the rock can be expanded and cracked, and you can get the required slate. ”
Can a wooden wedge and water swell and crack a rock? Xiahoudun was a little skeptical.
Hey...... You baby, why don't you believe it, and don't believe it? This time, Brother Ke didn't fool at all, it is said that the Egyptian pharaoh repaired his own tomb, using this expansion method.
Just as Liu Hanshao and Xiahoudun were fighting with their eyes for the truth, Cao Cao suddenly said: "Han Shao, you are the Son of Heaven, or ...... You're going to cast a magic spell and pave the river with slates? ”
Shop your sister!
If you want to slap your brother's face, you just say it, are you racking your brains so much?
Liu Hanshao had already shown a fierce light, but when he stared at Cao Cao, he seemed to remember something again, and then the whole person froze.
What do you mean? This brother is annoyed and wants to use his magic powers on me? Even if he doesn't get up and kicks me again, I can't stand it!
In fact, Cao Cao really didn't want to see Liu Hanshao's jokes at this time, because he remembered all the previous events, and felt that he knew this emperor brother very well for a while, and then felt that this brother seemed to be a mystery. It's better to say that he's an immortal than to say he's a little nervous, but to say he's not, why can he know so many unbelievable things? Not to mention the side, I saw it with my own eyes, that fart of You Zhengping is really on fire!
Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to test whether this emperor brother was born in the world, and whether he should also buy a copy of the "Great Book of Harmony" to see if he secretly cultivated the Tao.
It's a pity that the little black fat man hasn't figured out one thing yet, that is, all the immortals in this world don't accept temptation, and if they try, they are not sincere, and if they are not sincere, don't blame the gods for not working. What else could you do otherwise? In case the face of the gods is swollen by you...... What's the matter, do you have Yunnan Baiyao?
However, just when Cao Cao was becoming more and more worried about whether Liu Hanshao would kick him, he suddenly asked, "Meng De, if the stone slab paved for Dahe is three feet wide and four feet long, what do you think?" ”
Could it be that this brother is really a fairy descending to earth, and this is about to be opened?
Cao Cao didn't dare to answer this crazy sentence, but Liu Hanshao said to himself: "This stone slab, which is three feet wide and four feet long, should be cut off two feet from the middle to make it an I-shape, so that it can be hooked up and down, so that these stone slabs can become a stone chain, which is both firm and neat......
"Han Shao, Han Shao ......"
Waiting for Liu Hanshao to come back to his senses, Cao Cao said worriedly: "After running for days, you have been inspecting many places, pay attention to your body and rest more." ”
Are you sick when your brother is sick?
"Don't worry, brother is very good."
Liu Hanshao took a sip of wine, and then said: "Mengde, since ancient times, we Han people have paid attention to entering the soil for peace, and especially attached great importance to funerals. Many people have lived all their lives with buckles and ropes, and they are reluctant to eat or wear, and when they are dying, they have to hold a big funeral and a lot of funerals, as if they can take their money away. However, when Dong Zhuo troubled the Jingshi, we all knew that this thief had opened a lot of graves and swept away all the treasures that accompanied the burial, but the tomb owner was left with a handful of dry bones and was wantonly trampled on. What does this mean? ”
Later, Dong Zhuo was killed by you, didn't you get all those things?
Cao Cao's belly slander was endless, only to hear Liu Hanshao say again: "It shows that it is actually not safe to enter the ground!" ”
If it weren't for Liu Hanshao's fooling into becoming a communication minister who built roads, in order to support the army, Cao Cao would also dig graves and dig graves, and also set up a special captain to touch gold.
What does this mean?
It shows that Cao Cao actually does not approve of the solemn funeral and extravagance, but this does not mean that he does not approve of "entering the earth for peace". It's just that His Majesty is a little drunk, and there is no edge to talk about, so it's not suitable to argue with him now.
We're waiting for you to use your magic powers to pave the stone slabs of the river, but what are you talking about funeral grave diggers, right?
Seeing that Cao Cao did not refute, Liu Hanshao said again: "Not to mention that the tomb owner will be bullied after his death, how many treasures will eventually fall into the hands of thieves, even if it is a stone tablet in front of the tomb, how many of them will be in the hands of thieves after thousands of years?" ”
Dare you flicker around in a circle, is it the idea of wanting to hit the tombstone?
Cao Cao's eyes widened in horror, staring at Liu Hanshao, and said in his heart: This brother, you don't really want to use the tombstone to pave the river, right?
"What is the function of a tombstone? It is nothing more than a memorial for future generations, but what if the tomb owner has no heirs? Or where should future generations go to commemorate when they move away from their homeland and encounter war? Even if it's good, the descendants of three or five generations after have never seen it, will they still have true feelings to commemorate? If you really want to use a stone tablet to record your past and sink it to the bottom of the river, maybe it can be safer and farther away. ”
Your Majesty doesn't seem to have drunk too much, what he said makes people feel sour and stunned when they hear it, but it is a little bright and distant, free and easy.
Cao Cao's feelings had not yet spread, but he heard Liu Hanshao say again: "Let's let Harmony Dao take action and encourage cremation, let's just say that after a person dies, the soul turns into a wisp of green smoke, and he can get rid of the shackles of the body, so that he can be lighter and reach the heavenly fairyland faster." The remaining ashes can be packed in wooden boxes to build towers, which are called ancestral towers or sect towers, and are centrally managed...... No, it's a concentrated commemoration. It is said that in order to be closer to the Heavenly Realm Fairyland, the Zong Pagoda should be built on the mountain and built high. For example, if your family is rich, build a twelve-story Cao clan pagoda next to the Taoist temple on the mountain, a small box for one person, according to the seniority, age to place, this twelve-story Cao clan pagoda is not a problem for your old Cao family to install ten thousand people. Usually there is a Taoist temple to take care of, the morning bell and dusk drums, you can also listen to the Taoist priest preaching, every New Year's festival, go to worship, by the way to add some incense money to others, how good! ”
What a fart!
You've got 10,000 people in a tower!
Of course, it is impossible for Liu Hanshao to hear Cao Cao's heartfelt words, so he is still continuing to fool: "Those who have money build high towers, and those who don't have money build low towers, it seems that they spend a lot of money, but in fact, they advocate thrift and oppose funeral extravagance." Let's not talk about how many funeral goods can be saved, don't the clan ancestral halls cost money? Now a pagoda is all solved, it does not occupy the place, but also becomes a view, and in the future, the Taoist temples on each hill can also develop tourism and make another amount of money. ”
Xiahoudun asked stupidly: "And then?" ”
Then the children and grandchildren want to commemorate the ancestors and express their sorrows, so they can carve a stone tablet for the ancestors to record the achievements of the ancestors' lives, but there is no grave anymore, so this tablet no longer needs to be called a tombstone, it can be renamed a merit inscription tablet, which is the meaning of inscribed a lifetime of merits. I also want to let Harmony Dao say that Nuwa was the water of the great river back then, kneading mud to create people, so our skin color is the same as the color of the water of the great river, and the great river is our mother river. After the death of the living, he should return to the arms of his mother, so he should sink the monument to the bottom of the river. However, you can't let everyone sink casually, you have to carve the inscription according to the size that my brother just said, and then hand it over to your Ministry of Water Resources, make unified arrangements, and lay it out. Home is far away, it is inconvenient to carry a stone tablet to the river, you can also pay money to your Ministry of Water Resources, hand over the inscription, and you will engrave it on your behalf. If we can turn this into a custom, a tradition, we have so many Han people, even if many people can't carve stone tablets, but they will be passed down from generation to generation, no matter how long the river is, there will definitely be a day when it will be covered with stone slabs. At that time, the river will not only become the mother river of our Han Dynasty, but also become a river of years that can be seen and touched. ”
Reason told Cao Cao that if this matter was really done as Liu Hanshao said, it would definitely be a great initiative for the benefit of the country and the people.
However, I can't accept it emotionally!
Not to mention, our old man is so old, if I go home and say to him, "When you die, I will burn you to ashes, put you in a wooden box, and put it on the spire." "The old man must not kill me on the spot? Even if I was my own child, after I died, I would be burned to ashes by my children and grandchildren and put in a wooden box, I wouldn't be happy!
"Han Shao, this move is too unbelievable, we Han people are used to being in the ground, if we are forcibly cremated, I am afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising and cause a catastrophe."
"Of course you can't force it! We Han people are accustomed to earth burial, and other tribes are also accustomed to sky burial, water burial, cave burial, and sand burial, and we can't force it. However, we can encourage cremation. The bald Obas have been fooling our Han for more than 100 years, and there are many people who have listened to them, but none of them are willing to shave their ordination and receive ordination, because they are different from our original habits. So it's a grinder, and you have to take your time. When everyone listens to the flickering of the way of harmony and approves of their set of rhetoric, naturally someone will do it. ”
Aren't you the Holy Son of Heaven who is worshiped in harmony and Taoism? Listening to the meaning of your words, it doesn't seem to be very distressing for them.
Is this foul talk, is Han Shao drinking too much, or am I drinking too much?
Cao Cao stretched out his hand to cover his face, then slapped it a few times, and said in his heart: This brother, I couldn't figure out whether you were a god or a nerve just now, and now I can't figure out whether you are a genius or a madman!
