Chapter 223: Zhuangzi's Dojo
Zhao Dacheng said with a smile: "In today's world of great contention, good men should be ambitious in all directions, make contributions, and achieve a career, where can they grow up in love with their children?" You can rest assured, when the time comes, we will arrange for someone to go to Qi Country to help you find your mother, your Rong'er, and your sister Qing'er. ”
Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "You help me find it?" No, I'll find it myself! You say? Alas! So are the white old-timers! I'm out of the Mo family's altar, and you still chased me back! That Zhang Shan too! Alas! Who are they? ”
Thinking of Zhang Shan kneeling down and begging him and the last time he peeked at the seller, Zhuangzi regretted it very much, and he shouldn't trust this guy. Who are they? It's really loaded!
"I think! Maybe Bai Lao's idea is right! If you're as talented as you are, you should make a difference. Manage the paint garden here and set an example, isn't it? ”
"But I can't stay in this small place of lacquer garden? Do I still have to preach? I am the inheritor of Taoism, and my master chose me to be the inheritor, and he doesn't want me to be a petty official in this place of Qiyuan. I can't just do it for the small place of Lacquer Garden, I just want to make a living? I? Alas! ”
Zhuangzi wants to say, I want to purify all sentient beings, I not only want to save the people in this place of Qiyuan, I also want to save the Song Kingdom, the Great Zhou world, and the people under the whole world! That's all I have to say? But! He can't say that, and if he does, won't people say that you are too arrogant and take yourself too seriously?
The two of them sat on the edge of the bed, and as they spoke, they looked into the courtyard to see if anyone had come in, and the door of the yard was hidden after the seller had gone. Нёǐуапge.сОМ
"I think? That's fine! If you manage the place of Qiyuan first, it will be more conducive to you to spread Taoism, and it will be more convincing for you to spread Taoism in the future, isn't it? Zhao Dacheng said very seriously: "Otherwise? You say that no matter how good your Taoism is, you can't even manage the small place of Qiyuan, and your Taoist people don't believe it, don't they? ”
"This?" When Zhuangzi heard this, he was not angry at all. On the contrary, I feel that Zhao Dacheng is straightforward and fast-talking.
"I'm not bragging! Let me manage the place of the paint garden, I only need about a month, I will deal with it first, and then I will have time to take a look, if there is no time, I can come! What is a lacquer garden with a population of tens of thousands? My ambition is not here! ”
"I know! Your ambition is in the world! ”
"No, no, no!" Zhuangzi waved his hand again and again! Defended: "It's not the world! I don't want the world! I don't want to reign over the world. ”
"I know!" Zhao Dacheng explained with a smile: "Your ambition is to purify all sentient beings, save the common people in the world, and the whole world!" ”
Zhuangzi listened and did not speak again.
That's right, the hearts of the people in the world are right, who else wants to be a king? Does the world still need kings?
"I know! Your ambition is far-reaching, and it is the life of the world. But in this world, who will listen to you? Who has time to hear you preach? Isn't it? Your master Yang Zhu's predecessor preached and preached all his life, but he was also hunted down and killed all his life. At last! He still failed to spread Taoism to the world, and did not let everyone in the world believe in Taoism. Even! There are still many people who don't know what the Tao is. Isn't it? ”
"My master still has achievements!"
Zhuangzi commented: "In the time of the first patriarch Laozi, Taoism was only spread in a small area, among the nobles and the wise men. And by the time of Patriarch Yin Xi, the scope began to expand. Taoism has expanded from the scope of the aristocracy and the wise to the middle and lower classes, and anyone who is willing to learn can go to him and ask questions.
When it came to the time of my master Yang Zhu, the patriarch asked my master to go out and travel around the world, preaching and solving doubts and doubts. During the period of my master, it was a period of great development of Taoism, which spread Taoism to almost all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, allowing countless people to know Taoism and countless people to have a general understanding of Taoism. With this alone, my master's contribution to Taoism is indispensable! ”
"So! When you reach the time of Zhuangzi, you should have a base to spread your Taoism and apply your Taoism. Just like the Mo family, with the Song Kingdom as the base and Mengxian as the center of the Mo family, that is, the Mojia branch altar where you lived when you were a child.
It is precisely because the Mo family is based in the Song Kingdom that the Mo family has developed rapidly and has become the first university in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. So! If you want to spread the Tao well, you should have your own ashram. This dojo is the lacquer garden! This place in the lacquer garden will become your dojo for spreading Taoism......"
"Alas! The Mo family has declined! Zhuangzi sighed.
"But he is still the largest sect of doctrine in the world of the Great Zhou today, and there are still the most people who believe in the Mohist doctrine! I! Zhao Dacheng! Carpenter! He used to be a disciple of the Mo family. ”
Zhao Dacheng said, pointing at himself with his finger.
"All people who have a skill claim to be a disciple of the Mo family, and this is generally the case, they are all masters and apprentices, and they all know some Mo thoughts, and I am the same. It's just that! I found that Mohist thought can only save itself, it cannot save the world. It's true! Later, I became a businessman, and then I followed the white seniors......"
"The decline of the Mohists is related to the spies, but it is also related to the shortcomings of the Mohist thought. So! The decline of the Mohists is also an inevitable result. But! It is desirable for him to teach others to have a skillful mind! Each of us should be self-reliant and not dependent on others. Only in this way can we save ourselves when we do not have the help and cooperation of others. ”
"That's it! It is! ”
"By the way?" Zhuangzi remembered and asked, "Let me regard the lacquer garden as my base and dojo, is it also what Bai Lao meant?" ”
This old man is really thoughtful for his son-in-law!
"This? This one? Zhao Dacheng was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again and said, "I don't know!" I really don't know! I'm just guessing! I think! You should do this so that you can spread the Tao widely. It is! Isn't that the Mo family? Isn't it? It's not just right now, the monarch of the Song Kingdom has officially appointed you as the official of Qiyuan Town, you can just use this place as your dojo and base, just like the Mo family did back then! Isn't it? ”
Zhuangzi pondered.
What Zhao Dacheng said has a certain truth, but? The Song State is a small country, and the monarchs of the Song State are not the kind of big people who take saving the world as their own responsibility, they are not Qin Xiaogong and Wei Ying. The king of the Song State and his courtiers were concerned about their own power and the enjoyment of their own personal lives. In order to maintain their position and enjoy their existing luxuries, they are unscrupulous.
If you spread Taoism here in Qiyuan and make the Song Kingdom stronger, the other vassal states around you will feel that their safety is threatened. The surrounding vassal states will put pressure on the Song monarch to prevent you from continuing to spread Taoism.
So! It is unreliable to establish a dojo and a base in the Song Kingdom. Once the other surrounding vassal states put pressure on the Song State, the monarch of the Song State in order to maintain his temporary position, and those courtiers of the Song State in order to maintain their position and luxurious life enjoyment, they will take action against you.
So! If you want to establish your own base to spread Taoism, you must have a strong military force as a guarantee. You must convince the Song monarch to defend his sovereignty by force.
But? Will the monarch of the Song Kingdom and those courtiers of the Song Kingdom cooperate with you?
Will they believe you?
The result of the spread of Taoism was when the monarch and his courtiers lost the enjoyment of luxury.
Shoot yourself in the foot, that's what a fool can do!
