"Hmm!" Zhuangzi snorted in his heart.

He was very satisfied with Zhang Shan's sermon just now. These words are not something that Zhang Shan can copy. But! It is entirely up to one's own understanding to be able to say it.

Seeing Zhang Shan gushing endlessly, his sister-in-law let go of her heart.

Although there was still a mocking look on the mayor's face, it was gradually fading. In his eyes, there was gradually a god of admiration.

Those subordinates who sweated for Zhang Shan were also relieved. And those who gloated about the schadenfreude suddenly had a look of disappointment on their faces.

"Although we Taoists have accepted the ideas of Taoism, their methods and ways of dealing with the world are still very different. Someone is hidden above the court, as an official, even a high-ranking official, under one person, above ten thousand; There are also people who hide in the market and live like the people around them, and if you don't come into contact with them, you don't know that they are Taoists. Only those who live in seclusion in the countryside and deep in the mountains do the world think that they are Taoists.

In fact! These are just scratching the surface. They live in different environments, but! Their outlook on life is the same, that is, to live. Whatever is conducive to their lives, they choose to live in various environments.

In fact, it is the same, no matter what kind of environment they live in, they do not affect the survival of others, and they do not let others affect their survival......"

"Wait! Wait a minute! ”

The mayor interrupted, "How can it be called if it doesn't affect the survival of others?" For example! Officials, are they Taoists? Are they the words of the high-ranking officials of the court? How can they not affect the lives of others? If one of their policies, policies, and decisions continues, it will affect everyone's survival. Isn't it? ”

Zhang Shan said with a smile: "As a Taoist, if it is an order issued by them, the policy must be conducive to the survival of the people under them." Influence is to affect the survival of others, but it is to make other people's lives better! Is it good for survival? Isn't it? My mayor? ”

"That?" The mayor quibbled, "You're talking about a good official!" In fact! A good official also affects the survival of others? Think about it? They affect the survival of corrupt officials? ”

"Corrupt officials?"

Zhang Shan looked at the town elder a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer.

Zhuangzi saw that the town elder had asked the point, and he also turned his gaze to Zhang Shan, wanting to see how Zhang Shan answered.

Mrs. Sister-in-law was worried again: Will Zhang Shan be asked by the mayor of the town and his pus-filled husband.

"Corrupt officials just want to use the power in their hands to make a profit, but you Taoists don't affect the survival of others. Have you not affected the survival of others, but you have affected the survival of their corrupt officials?

And also! Those who want to use their power to achieve their own goals, with you Taoists, they can't achieve their goals? Isn't it? How do you say that home does not affect the survival and life of others? Have you influenced it? ”

"This, this, this?"

Zhang Shan said a little anxiously: "Taoism believes in 'not affecting the survival of others', which means not affecting the survival of others. Instead of not associating with people, associating with others will inevitably affect the lives of others. It is not to affect the life of others, not to say that it is beneficial to the life of others.

The meaning of the town elder is that Taoism does not affect the life and survival of others, that is, does not associate with others! Wrong! How can we not interact with each other? Isn't it? If you understand it this way, you can only hide in the mountains and live in seclusion. If you are in the market, you are above the court, it is impossible for you not to associate with you and not affect others?

On the question of influencing corrupt officials! I think those Taoists who are hidden in the court will deal with it like this. Corrupt officials! They not only affect the survival of others, but also the survival of their subordinates, but also the survival of their colleagues, and the survival of our Taoists. So! Corrupt officials are our enemies. So! We treat our enemies the way we treat them, we get along with them.

As Taoists, as Taoists who are hidden in the court, they will protect themselves even more. If they couldn't protect themselves, they wouldn't be able to hide above the court, and they would have resigned a long time ago. Since they can hide in the court, they have a way to deal with corrupt officials and political enemies.

Protect yourself! He does not participate in corrupt officials and political opponents who do things that are unfavorable to the people. He does not participate in anything that is not conducive to the survival of others. Take a stand. Do not openly oppose contradictory tunes and do not openly be enemies. When one blow can be successful, it will make a move, and take down corrupt officials and political enemies in one fell swoop.

Otherwise? They don't have that ability, and they are hidden in the court. Unless! ”

"Unless what?" The mayor asked.

"Unless they're mage protectors!"

"Protector?"

"If they were Taoist protectors, they might use slightly more radical methods and means to deal with corrupt officials and political enemies. In any case, protecting one's self and allowing oneself to live to the end of one's life is the core of Taoism! The great hidden in the court is also for living, that's what it means! ”

"This, this, this? Be! Be! Be! ”

Hearing Zhang Shan say, "It's also to live", the mayor couldn't stop nodding, thinking that it was like that.

He's not a Taoist, and he's not a member of any other sect of doctrine, to be honest! He is a "mixed" person, a person who eats and waits for death. Although you live, you don't know why you live, so it's not just to live for the sake of living, how to live better, how to live.

When the mayor lives well, better than the people of Qiyuan, then it is better to be the mayor. If you are really unlucky, and the mayor can't be a farmer, then become a farmer. What's so bad about being a farmer? You can live.

Maybe? Good luck with me! The backstage is good, and I was transferred from the position of the mayor of Qiyuan Town to the mayor of Zhouyi?

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the mayor's face.

If you become the mayor of the city, then! His material life was even better. There are good days, though, that's a fool! Nature! Taoism is no exception! If you can be an official, why not be an official?

Zhang Shan said: "Taoist protectors generally don't have any concerns. So! They're generally a bit more extreme. And also! There are quite a few Protectors, all of whom have died a few times, and they think that they are earning to live now. So! When they encounter something that needs to give their lives, they will give up their lives to protect the Dharma. Otherwise? How do you call a protector?

There are also many protectors in Taoism who have family members to care about. They need to be more secure in their affairs. There are also some people, although they have family members to worry about, but they are forced to helplessly, so they embark on the path of protectors. If it does not affect the survival and life of their family members, they may also use their lives to protect the Dharma......"
