Empress Dowager Yang looked at Lin Xi and said faintly: "Venerable Master, can you establish a national society without the art of the emperor?" ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows curled up slightly: "Queen Mother, if a person is the spirit of all things, who is more valuable than whom, where should he be?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "Isn't it a bloodline nobleman and a nobleman? ”

Lin Xi said: "So where is Zhou Tianzi today?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "So, the destiny of heaven returns, the royal luck? ”

Lin Xi said: "Oh, then the Queen Mother should not have the opportunity to discuss this issue with me today." ”

Empress Dowager Yang said again: "Well, it seems to be true, but it's not easy to put it down." ”

Lin Xi said to himself:

"What is the nobility of the soul? What is the nobility of human nature?

In particular, what is the nobility of leaders and rulers?

I think it's not enough to just have love, or just to have ideas!

It is not enough to be ignorant or to pretend not to know!

Does the Queen Mother know that there is a folk trade, called harvesting and cutting!

"Picking" means taking, collecting;

"Sheng" is raw raw materials and raw materials, which are generally young children with normal development;

"Folding" means cutting with a knife and an axe.

To put it simply, it is to seize a normal living person, especially a young child, and use knives, axes, and other methods to turn him into a strangely shaped monster with a disability or a combination of man and beast.

In our world, there was a record, legend has it that there are two people in Changsha City who lead a dog, which is slightly larger than the usual dog, the first two toes are longer than the dog's toe claws, and the hind feet are like bears, with tails and small. The eyes and nose are like people, never like dogs, and the whole body is also dog hair. Able to speak and sing all kinds of songs, all according to the verses. The audience is like a blockage, fighting for money in order to get a song.

So how did this man and dog come to be - it is said that the human skin is corroded with a special potion, and then the dog's hair is burned to ashes, and then some special potions are eaten to calm the wound, and dog hair will be born in the future, and a dog tail will be born.

However, it is difficult for us to confirm this statement later, it is said that with this method, none of the ten children will survive, but if you make a human dog, you can make a lifetime profit.

[Speech: "Qing Barnyard Banknotes"]

We look at the pitiful charity of man, which can be a source of profit for the beggar's head, and the more strange the deformity or orc, the more money can be obtained.

Therefore, making a living person out of shape is a business.

So for the giver, this is a blessing? Or is it karma?

Some people say, I don't know about this, so I'm not guilty.

Queen Mother, you heard about it this year, will you still give alms? ”

Empress Dowager Yang couldn't speak, for a long time, struggled and said: "People can't be so bottomless, right?" ”

Lin Xi said: "Then what are you running from?" At most, the country is ruined and the family is just going back to being an ordinary person, right? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said; "How can that be? They will insult me. ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, they may strip you naked among the many soldiers, and insult you among the many soldiers, so that they can let all the Han people be spiritually destroyed, their mother of the country is just a female dog under the crotch of the Mongolian soldiers, and they can also play with the Korean soldiers, beggars, and even find a few dogs." ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "Don't say it, don't say it, you ...... You ......"

Lin Xi said: "Can you stop me from saying this, and after the defeat and capture, can you stop them from doing this?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "I, even if I commit suicide, I will not allow them to ......"

The boys who were harvested and cut may have thought the same way, the women who were deceived into selling in the Qinglou may have thought the same way, and your ministers have even said in the court that your generals have roared with righteous indignation......

However, it's very simple, just nail your hands to the wood, and you can only bear everything you just said in silence until they want you to die. ”

Empress Dowager Yang said, "Venerable Master, you are so terrible, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Lin Xi said:

"As long as there is war and the struggle for living space, the Queen Mother, a court of good governance, must shepherd his people, and by no means deceive and encourage ignorance on its own, and of course, it is impossible to protect his people and maintain his rule forever through deception and ignorance.

To prevent evil thoughts and evil deeds, we must rely on good thoughts and good deeds;

But we often see that good thoughts and good deeds cannot compete with and resist evil thoughts and evil deeds, why? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said, "Yes? ”

Lin Xi said: "Are we ourselves omniscient and omnipotent? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "No! ”

Lin Xi asked again: "Are we selfish?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said, "Yes? ”

Lin Xi asked, "Are you ashamed?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "How can I answer your question." ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, that's exactly the case, if the answer is, it seems to conflict with our etiquette, if the answer is not, then it must be lying to yourself and the saint." So, are saints selfish? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "I can't answer this." ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, if a saint has selfish intentions, is he not a saint and is not worthy of being a saint?" So, do the saints eat? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "I haven't heard that the saint doesn't eat." ”

Lin Xi said, "Does the saint poop? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "If you want to eat, you will also poop." ”

Lin Xi said: "Is the sage's body fragrant? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "I haven't heard of it either. ”

Lin Xi asked, "Is it true that saints can't make mistakes?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "The saint made a mistake? If you smell it, you can change it, it's good. ”

Lin Xi asked, "Okay, the last one, when the saint was alive, was there no famine in the world?" Are there no patients? Is there no war? Isn't there a crime? Are there no beggars? Isn't there corruption? Is there no foreign invasion? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "It seems that it can't be done without these." ”

Lin Xi asked, "Since these can't be done, where is the sacred or subtle?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang had no choice but to say: "I am not the emperor after all, I can't answer what you ask, if the Taifu or the prime minister is here, maybe they can answer your question." ”

Lin Xi said:

"I'm just a human being, and I've received the way of heaven;

But at least, first, man's knowledge and knowledge of himself and all things is not completely insightful, which is an absolute defect;

And then, secondly, even what we know and know, we don't have the power to change or govern to the extent we want it to be, or to the extent necessary for the people of a nation to survive and sustenance.

In this way, then all our complacency, pride, and self-righteousness are ridiculous and short-lived;

If the aristocracy is completely the survival and development of the nation, then if it is not the aristocracy, it can be completely frozen to death, starved, killed or abandoned, leaving a pure aristocracy, right? ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "That's unkind, it shouldn't be." ”

Lin Xi said:

"The Queen Mother can look at the historical records, the change of dynasties, in fact, is more of a contradiction between productivity and population.

In the era of slash-and-burn farming, the rotation of ten acres of fields may meet the survival of one person;

If a family has 300 acres of land to cultivate, then if they marry a wife and have children, for every three people who reproduce and survive, there will be five people in the second generation, and the third generation will die in the previous generation, and the five people in the second generation will reproduce fifteen, and if the second generation is added, it will be twenty;

Twenty people need 200 acres of land, and 300 acres of land cannot be cultivated, which is more than enough;

But in the fourth generation, fifteen people multiplied forty-five, and the previous generation died, plus the third generation, it was sixty-five;

Sixty-five families need 650 acres of land, and 300 acres of land is not enough to eat, and at least thirty of them must move elsewhere.

Hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty, when Song Renzong, Fan Zhongyan said in the recital "Answering the Edict of Chen Shishi": The minister knows Suzhou, and the tax collectors are 34,000 hectares, and the benefits of Zhongnim are two to three stones per mu;

Fang Hui "Continuing the Ancient and Modern Examination" said: Yu Zaixiu...... Looking at the wilderness of Wu Nong...... All tenants. …… If the yield per mu is two or three stones. In terms of two stones, 2 stones of rice, it is 4 stones of rice.

One stone is four jun, one jun is 30 catties, so one stone is 120 catties, the yield per mu is 4 stones, the amount of rice is 4.288 stones per mu, which is equivalent to 381 catties per mu of the current city, and it is 2.777 stones more than that of the Han Dynasty, and the yield per mu of the current city is 250.1 catties, an increase of 54.4%; Compared with 3.81 stones in the Tang Dynasty, an increase of 12.5%.

Why is it more than the previous dynasty, because Zhenzong Dazhong Yuanfu three years (AD 1011), the imperial court sent people to Fujian, collected 30,000 Zhancheng rice, to the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangnan eight or nine out of ten have been planted Zhancheng rice, Zhancheng rice has a high yield and can grow a short period, a year can be planted double crops, some places can even plant three crops.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty used 36.2 catties of millet per month, and 54.3 catties of corn per month in the Tang Dynasty.

The annual ration of the soldiers in the Han Dynasty was 723 catties of corn, and the Tang Dynasty needed 1,068 catties, almost 18 or 19 acres of fields.

According to the Hanshu "Food and Goods Chronicle", a family of five has 100 acres of land, which is equivalent to about 69 acres in the Song Dynasty, which can feed 3.8 people, and if 1.2 people do not serve, they will be hungry.

The people of the Song Dynasty have a population of more than 100 million and need more than 1.8 billion mu of arable land, and the land area of the Southern Song Dynasty is smaller than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

If there is no Jurchen and Mengyuan aggression, even if there is a generation of 30 years, 100 million people is calculated according to 20 percent of couples of childbearing age, that is, 20 million people, 10 million couples, even if a generation only gives birth to three people, it is 30 million, and the population will exceed 200 million people in 100 years, what should we do if we have no land?

Do we have 3.6 billion acres of land that can be reclaimed? Do you want to build a house? Build a city? Workshop? Build a barracks?

There are no coals in many places, what do they use for heating in winter? Deforestation?

There are some data showing that there are more than 500 million acres of cultivated land in the Song Dynasty, and the grain output is less than 50 billion catties, of course, these acres and catties, there are always different areas and weight changes in each dynasty, but if the grain is the mainstay, the per capita annual grain consumption does need to be 500 catties, if the acres of land will be raised cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, then the overall output will be reduced, that is, the scale of feeding 100 million people!

If there is no new creation, even if there are no natural or man-made disasters, one or two hundred years, they will kill each other until the remaining population can sustain their lives on the current land.

Therefore, in a closed environment, the only secret to maintaining dominance is to kill the opponent.

But will nobles necessarily give birth to wise offspring? ”

Empress Dowager Yang stammered: "Of course, not really. ”

Lin Xi said: "Under normal circumstances, the royal heirs have to be less than the nobles and common people, so that they can get money and food without labor, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang's face became more and more ugly: "Yes"

Lin Xi said: "The royal children can only be officials, but to govern the locality, they need bureaucrats and families, so they don't have the ability to deceive the superiors and even join forces to overthrow them?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "Of course there are, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Dynasty of Zhou, the Three Kingdoms Dynasty of Han, and even the Tang Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Lin Xi said: "Queen Mother, you dare to admit the reality like this, it is a great progress, deceiving people can deceive everyone at the same time, and you can deceive one person at all times, but it is never possible to deceive everyone at all times, if God is really like this, it will perish by itself." ”

Empress Dowager Yang's face palely pale: "The Venerable Master is really upright." ”

Lin Xi said:

"Queen Mother, in our world, there is a dynasty, called the Ming Dynasty, before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial relatives were roughly about 40,000-50,000, theoretically they can't work, can't do business, they must have the court to support, if each family has 20 housekeepers and servants, just the royal family directly absorbs the people's fat and the people's ointment to support, it will reach 200,000;

The number of such royal families is on top, so how can officials be willing to be subordinate?

Such a dynasty will never last long with only a few good and capable people.

The last monarch of the Ming Dynasty, who hanged himself in the end, although he also had some integrity, but that's all.

When a postman under their own rule rebelled, coupled with foreign invasions, the imperial city was about to be broken, and the emperor's relatives and Manchu Dynasty were civil and military

By the way, in our world, you and Your Majesty are also dead, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea behind His Majesty's back and died, and you are also dead. ”

Mrs. Yang's back is like ashes......

Lin Xi said: "Don't worry, you see, aren't you and Your Majesty alive now, and Your Majesty has changed his name to Xiao Bing." ”

......

Empress Dowager Yang gritted her teeth and said, "Venerable Master, do I need to change my name?" ”

Lin Xi felt obedient: "Eh, Queen Mother, do you know, although I don't study history, so I only know some common sense, but it seems that in our original world, Your Majesty's name is still recorded in the history books, and the Queen Mother, you have only one surname, that is, Empress Dowager Yang, and I have never heard of your name." ”

Empress Dowager Yang lowered her head, and after a while, raised her head: "My maiden name is Yuxiu, and my mother calls me Xiuniang." ”

Lin Xi was slightly embarrassed: "Then, okay, Queen Mother, you choose a good name yourself." ”

The Queen Mother said, "I mean, the Venerable Master can call me however he wants, Yang Yuxiu, Yuxiu or Xiuniang. ”

Lin Xi thought for a while: "If you are in the army, you are with Hui Niang and Zhen Niang, and you are called Xiu Niang, it will be easier to hide." ”

The Queen Mother squirmed: "So...... That's too...... Very good......"

Lin Xi saw the appearance of Xiuniang (Empress Dowager Yang), and wondered if it was not easy for her to find a balance between psychology and value, so she said: "Today we are going to find materials immediately, and let Zhen Niang dress you up for a while, and you will pretend to be a female general...... ”

The Queen Mother's face was as red as a peach: "I, I, I, that, I'm older or older, and now I'm regenerating, well, that, maybe I have to recuperate for a while......"

Lin Xi glanced at Empress Dowager Yang/Xiuniang in surprise, and thought to herself that she was talking about kindergarten, why did Xiuniang herself talk about having a child? glanced at Zhen Niang squeezing her eyebrows beside her, and her mind was spinning - forget it: "That, Xiuniang, if you want to have a child, I think it may be better to wait until the war subsides...... Also, when I talk about raising children, I actually mean that kindergarten, running a kindergarten, Xiuniang can take the children and teach some things. ”

Xiuniang/Empress Dowager Yang said: "Yes, yes, I mean the same thing." ”

Lin Xi said: "Then, let's put an end to this topic and explore the way of heaven, not in the struggle between people, the beauty and freedom that God has prepared for us are far beyond our imagination, feeding tens of billions of people, we can only rely on continuous exploration of new resources, new strength, new space, the scriptures say, you must fill the earth and govern the earth." ”

Xiuniang/Empress Dowager Yang said: "So, how can we reach this other side? ”

Lin Xi said: "Humility will immediately enhance true wisdom and the ability to explore and create, and faith is the source of humility, and the source of faith is the holy goodness of the Heavenly Dao." ”

Xiuniang / Empress Dowager Yang said: "Well, it's not that heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; Are the saints unkind and use the people as dogs? ”

[Speech: Chapter 5 of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching"]

Lin Xi said: "There is a constant way in heaven, and this constant is the true meaning. ”

While she was talking, Hui Niang came in with a food box: "Venerable Master, Queen Mother, it's time to eat." As he spoke, he opened the food box and laid out the food: "The chef said that there are not many ingredients left, so he baked a few cakes and cooked a few sea fish, so let's pad my stomach first." ”

Lin Xi picked up the plate with the pancakes: "Xiuniang, I'll bring you the cakes, may I ask, is this plate benevolent?" Is this bread merciless? ”

Xiuniang/Empress Dowager Yang said: "If the Venerable Master gives it to me, it will naturally be affectionate and righteous. ”

Lin Xi said: "If you look at it the other way around, I will give you bread, this is love and benevolence, and this plate is just a vessel, what is the so-called benevolence and righteousness of the vessel?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "The Venerable Master is saying that whether heaven and earth have affection or not is related to people's perceptions and operations, or their use, and should not be artificially crowned with the appearance of affection or benevolence. ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, whether the knife kills people, or carves the table, or cuts off carbuncles, the knife cannot be called affectionate or ruthless, some people because of the needs of literature or the intention of emotional transmission, distorted projection, if it is out of ignorance, it can not care about good and evil, but if it is for the purpose of informing and maliciously guiding others to think, there is no essential difference from evil."

The same is true of the well-being of the peoples, either shepherding or governing.

My heart is the heart of the Tao, that is, selfish desires, if they do not have absolute rights, how can they do what they say, this is the essence of evil.

The heart of the Tao is my heart, this is obedience, and anyone can seek true knowledge and strive upward.

Those leaders who take on greater responsibilities must have a godly heart, courageous and diligent efforts, perseverance in exploring without fear of hardships and dangers, and a sense of safety management, and they must understand the truth behind the operation of things, and educate, help and guide the people towards greater freedom, wisdom and creativity.

Okay, Xiuniang, Queen Mother, time is pressing, today's lesson is here, you'd better write down your experience.

Now, let's take a look at our messengers, so that we have the courage to be brave and diligent, and also have the ability to create wisdom, so that we can create a world of great harmony. ”
