Chapter 296: Meeting is fate, joining the army does not ask where it comes from (I)
Wang Mang neither supports nor opposes the love and hobbies and interests of those sons and talents of the world, and allows them to develop freely. Their future life and death, wealth and wealth are all in their own hands, and they cannot complain about others.
Among the various imperial civil welfare systems he formulated, they would have what should belong to them. It shouldn't belong to them, and the dynasty will not donate to them because of their profligacy in their early years, which led to the ruin and poverty of their families.
He thought that if you want to give others freedom, you must give them the right to make their own choices. If you use your power to seal up this kind of place similar to Qinglou, wouldn't that deprive others of their right to choose?
"The vast heavenly road circulates the road, and the rolling red dust condenses the heart of the road. All the laws are false, and only by cultivating oneself can it be true! He chanted in a low voice, then turned his head, no longer paying attention to the situation of this Lingyan Pavilion, who was not selling his body, and walked straight in the direction of the Xinlong Inn diagonally opposite.
Just as he turned to leave, a young man about twenty-one or twelve years old behind him stopped him.
This person is dressed as a scholar, holding a paper fan, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and is spotless. It seems that the family has a small fortune, and it seems to be a little ink, like a virtuous young master.
"The brother in front, please stay, please stay. The sentence that the younger brother heard just now seems to be quite profound, I don't know where this sentence comes from? Who created it? ”
"Huh?"
When Wang Mang heard the question, he stopped, turned his head, glanced at the young man, and asked, "Dare to ask if you are talking to me?" ”
"Exactly!" The young man clenched his fists and smiled: "Please forgive the little brother for being abrupt, I don't know your surname?" The younger brother is from Yangzhou, named Jin Zibo. I came here with my grandfather a year ago. The younger brother just saw Brother Ren stop at the door of Lingyan Pavilion, and seemed to want to go in, but he didn't want to go in. After that, he sang a sentence, as if cutting off his desires and thoughts, which was refreshing. The younger brother felt very novel, so he asked a special question, and hoped that Brother Ren would not be surprised. ”
"I see!" Wang Mang replied: "I don't want your surname Wang, as for the sentence just now, it was just my nonsense for a while, not from a famous family, and it can't be put on the stage." I don't know what happened to you, Brother Jin, here? Don't you also want to go to Lingyan Pavilion to have a look? The younger brother often hears that this place is full of fun, and there are many talented and beautiful people in it, and it is a paradise on earth. ”
"No, no, no, my little brother doesn't have this hobby. The little brother is here, just to play around casually. ”
Jin Zibo's face unabashedly showed a deep disgust for Ling Yan Pavilion, as if he looked down on this kind of Fengyue place very much.
"Brother Wang, this Lingyan Pavilion is just a filthy place, which specializes in confusing people's minds, corrupting morality, making people sink into the sea and forget the major events of the world. Where is still some paradise on earth. ”
When Wang Mang heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart, "Oh? Why did Brother Jin say this? ”
Jin Zibo replied: "Everyone in the world has a love for beauty, and this is human nature. However, this love of beauty is not the love of beauty. This Lingyan Pavilion is dedicated to sheltering beauties for others to play with and enjoy, causing other people's playthings to lose their minds and fall into the sea, which shows that this is not a good place.
Today's instability is well known. But Brother Wang, take a look. These people who have been studying hard for ten years do not want to contribute to the country, but they come here for recreation and waste their time. If there is no such place, wouldn't it be possible to cut off the desires of these people so that they can contribute to the country? ”
"Hehe, it turned out to be an angry young man." Wang Mang pondered for a moment in his belly. Shaking his head, he said: "Brother Jin's words are wrong, in life, everyone has their own ideas and pursuits, how can we, as outsiders, interfere?" At the beginning of heaven and earth, chaos is derived, there must be yin and yang, there is good and there is evil, this is the avenue.
Why didn't Brother Jin think about it, if there was no Lingyan Pavilion here, then how could there be such a prosperous scene here? If this place is not prosperous, then how can other ordinary farmers set up stalls here to make a living and supplement their families?
You say that these sons and talents have fallen because of their desires. Then why don't you think about it, it is precisely because of their depravity that other people have the possibility of survival? We can't say that a wolf is vicious just because it eats a sheep. For if the wolf does not eat the sheep, the wolf will starve to death. As for serving the country, it is a matter of system.
Some people are willing to dedicate themselves to the country, so as to obtain supreme glory and be famous through the ages. Some people are unwilling to dedicate themselves to the country, but only want to spend their own lives in a chic life, resulting in no name and no profit, which is their own choice. Life is precious, but freedom is even more valuable.
Everyone has the right to make their own choices, and outsiders cannot interfere, otherwise it will be hypocrisy. All we can do is to educate and guide everyone after they are born. Give him an optimistic and positive environment, and when he becomes an adult, let him choose his own destiny and choose his own path. ”
"Poof..."
Jin Zibo laughed dumbly, he was not angry at Wang Mang's refutation of his opinion, but laughed. seems to think that Wang Mang's statement is very interesting and unique.
He looked at Wang Mang carefully with a pair of shining eyes, full of interest.
"Brother Wang, what you said is very interesting. Dare to ask Brother Wang, why did you just stop and wander at the door of Lingyan Pavilion? Could it be that Brother Wang also yearns for there? Want to have a drink with those beauties, put the wine in the powder account, and go to Wushan rain together? If that's the case, why didn't Brother Wang go in just now, but turned around and left? ”
Wang Mang smiled: "I already have a beloved wife at home, how can I come here for recreation?" The reason why I stopped by just now was that I was momentarily attracted by the beautiful songs inside. At the same time, we are also considering whether this kind of place is good or bad, and whether it should be banned or not.
Later, I thought about it, and this place is not good or bad, let alone banned. Everything depends on each person's preferences and choices. ”
"I see! It seems that the idea of the brother is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and all existence is reasonable. Maintain absolute freedom and do not interfere with the claims of others. Jin Zibo nodded and said: "This time with Brother Wang, the younger brother has also benefited a lot." Indeed, we, as outsiders, are not qualified to intervene in their affairs.
The only people who can ask them about their affairs are their relatives and friends. Brother Wang, I wonder if you have time? The Xinlong Inn in front is not bad, and the younger brother's grandfather has also entered a little bourgeoisie, which is half the master. If Brother Wang is willing to appreciate his face, why don't we go in and have a drink, so that the younger brother can fulfill the friendship of the landlord? ”
"Oh? Your grandfather actually got a little bourgeoisie in this Xinlong Inn? ”
When Wang Mang heard this, he immediately felt that it was a coincidence, and his face was a little weird, because he was the largest shareholder of this Xinlong Inn and the big boss behind the scenes.
