Although Bai Gui went to Qi State, his heart was still on the side of Qiyuan. He and Zhuangzi have not yet had a serious discussion. How Zhuangzi governed the lacquer garden, he has not yet told him. Other than that! Regarding his plan, did Zhuangzi follow the plan?

Or rather! Did Zhuangzi listen to him?

But! The good news soon came from the lacquer garden.

"White officials! Zhuangzi listened! He said that he wanted to use the lacquer garden as a test site for Taoism, conduct experiments here, and use Taoist doctrine and ideas to manage the lacquer garden. So! He also wants to organize an army here in the Lacquer Garden......"

"The army?"

"It's not an army, it's like an army! Zhuangzi said: Taoism governs the world, and all the people are soldiers. As long as you keep instilling Taoist ideas in your people, you can first change their ideological concepts. And then! Then teach them martial arts and let them protect themselves.

It is useless to just change the ideological concept, and it is necessary to use force to protect oneself. So! Let everyone here in the lacquer garden know martial arts.

And then! Secretly teach them the layout of military defenses, battlefield killing skills, and more! Once the time comes, someone will attack the lacquer garden, and the team can be quickly organized.

No matter how good your Taoist ideas are and how good they are to the people in the world, some people just don't want you to succeed for their own selfishness. So! Once the Taoists experiment here, there will be people who will oppose it.

The first to stand up against it was the wicked people here in Qiyuan. I didn't kill them before, although they didn't dare to move, but their disgusting immortality still wanted to turn over. So! They are always ready to fight a turnaround. So! We must never forget them, and if they do something in secret, we must take the opportunity to kill them.

Second! He was the king of the Song Kingdom. The king of the Song Kingdom feared that the power of others would overthrow him. So! Once the king of the Song Kingdom found out that there was a certain amount of power here, he would take action against us.

Third! It is a surrounding vassal state. When they found that the power of Qiyuan was strong and the Song State was strong, it would pose a threat to them, and they might unite with other surrounding vassal states to attack the Song State......"

Zhuangzi believes that the army should develop, but it cannot develop openly, and can only develop secretly.

How to develop? Zhuangzi believed that the only way to do this was to arrange for Taoist protectors to come in and teach others martial arts everywhere in the form of a master leading his disciples.

Teaching martial arts to bring disciples is also an opportunity to contact people and develop Taoist disciples. It is also an opportunity to observe and understand people. Once you find out that those people who have problems with their heads and are too selfish, you can find an opportunity to kill him.

Taoism manages society in this way, there is no need for explicit laws to stipulate how to do it, everything is based on people's hearts. You are a person with a bad heart, and you think about how to clean up others all the time and everywhere, how to take advantage of others, how to enjoy yourself without caring about the life or death of others, people like you deserve to die.

If there were a clear rule, this kind of people would inevitably take advantage of the loopholes of the law to calculate others. If the law doesn't have their way, then! No one has their way. Such! Such a person will be an eternal scourge to the world.

And Taoism manages society, and everyone thinks that people like you are not easy to get along with, although people like you have not killed people and set fires, and there is no great evil, but people like you deserve to die, everyone thinks that you deserve to die. So! You're damned!

There is also a way not to die, and that is banishment!

People don't want to get along with you, and you don't think you deserve to die. So! ! You don't want to mix in our ranks, you live alone. Or! People with similar interests go and live together. Between us, "the voice of chickens and dogs hears each other, and the old and the dead do not get along".

The law is used to bind law-abiding citizens, and it is ineffective for those who take advantage of the law, and for those who practice favoritism.

Zhuangzi said: Let everyone here in Qiyuan be a Taoist disciple, everyone can do martial arts, everyone can take up arms to protect themselves, protect their families, protect Qiyuan, protect the Song Kingdom, and protect the world......

Let everyone here in Qiyuan survive, everyone can live happily, everyone is engaged in their favorite business, everyone is not willing to accumulate property, do not live for vanity, and do not live for power. Everyone knows that human life is just a process, and life is life when you live happily and live to old age.

Let the people here in Qiyuan have a happy childhood, a struggling youth, a happy middle age, and a peaceful old age. There are no orphans, children live by their parents and elders, and when they are young, they engage in their favorite careers, do not rely on their parents and elders to live, and support their parents and elders, and help their brothers and sisters and the people around them. When you are middle-aged, you have a sense of happiness and achievement, and when you are old, you have children and grandchildren, and you have something to support in your old age......

This is the future lacquer garden conceived by Zhuangzi, and it is also the future world of mankind.

Taoism has this flaw, everyone is wise and self-preservation, and they are unwilling to preach openly like Yang Zhu. Either! Seclusion in the mountains and forests, either! Be a protector to kill the wicked, to act.

"Zhuangzi talks about a bright future, but I feel like the Confucian talk of 'the world of great harmony'. The Confucian world of Datong seems to be like this? ”

Bai Gui listened, thoughtfully, and said.

"Datong World?"

"yes!" Bai Gui sighed: "Originally! Life is the same, life is the same, why not the same? It's just that? Confucianism implements the Zhou system and implements Zhou rites, and they advocate using the old way to manage the country and the world. Confucianism governs the country and the world from the perspective of social management.

Taoism, on the other hand, manages the country and the world from the perspective of individual people and people's hearts. The two have different angles and different emphasis.

One is to treat headaches and foot pain, treating the symptoms but not the root cause; One is to govern society from the root of people. Society is composed of individual people, and if individual people are not well governed, how can they govern the country and the world?

The person who governs the individual is actually very simple, tell the world, don't toss around, everyone is going to die. Dead, nothing. You don't get vanity, fame, power, property, women, etc., etc., etc.

Life is just a few decades, what do you say you toss?

And often those who love to toss can't live to the end of their lives, so they toss their little lives. Different ages will have different feelings, and every day of life will have different feelings, and experience different joys in life. But they? But he died! ”

Bai Gui has been in contact with many Taoists and still has a certain understanding of Taoism. He also has his own understanding, although it is different from others, but it is also much the same.

"Investigate and report again! I want the latest news. ”
