In a secret room in the Qiyuan Wine Shop, Zhuangzi and the shopkeeper sat opposite each other at a low square table, with wine and food in front of them, and the two were eating and drinking while talking happily.

This was the first time that Zhuangzi had a detailed conversation with the money shopkeeper alone, and it was also a substantive conversation.

As a Taoist, Zhuangzi is still not completely at ease with the money shopkeeper. The deeper a person hides, the more difficult it is to discover, and it also makes people feel particularly trustworthy.

In fact! Zhao Dacheng of the carpenter shop is more trustworthy. But Zhao Dacheng is the kind of person who can't hide his words, and he feels immature. Although Zhuangzi felt that Zhao Dacheng was more reliable, he didn't like this kind of person. I don't like it from the heart, not intellectually.

And the money shopkeeper in front of him, the first feeling of the person who gives it is calm, and he can give you a sense of trust. But! The more such people are, the more likely they are to be spies.

Of course! This is the Taoist "skepticism instinct". Taoism is suspicious of anyone and does not trust unconditionally. You can't fully trust a person without going through a long period of testing, without going through life and death. And! It is not yet permanent, permanent, absolute to believe in a person.

This is the Taoist "skepticism instinct".

Of course! Taoists are not suspicious people. But! In the face of big rights and wrongs, not in trivial matters.

"I'm going to leave the lacquer garden!" Zhuangzi took a sip of wine, looked directly at the money shopkeeper, and said.

"You?"

Really! The money shopkeeper looked surprised.

Zhuangzi nodded affirmatively at him.

"You?" After the money shopkeeper was surprised, he immediately restrained the expression on his face and asked, "You just left like this?" Don't you feel that you are in a hurry, and there are still many things that you need to preside over? ”

"Gone?" Zhuangzi spread his hands and said: "The current Qiyuan is very safe, and I have arranged land for the poor people, and I have given them a lot of land outside the valley. As farmers, they have land and food to survive, what else can they ask for?

Craftsmen rely on their crafts to eat, and they have always been people with a medium standard of living. The craftsmen here in the lacquer garden not only do things for others in the lacquer garden, but also go outside to do things, but also can start their own businesses. These! I've made all the arrangements. Let them form a team and start a business collectively. And then! Then sell the products to the outside of the paint garden and sell them to all parts of the world......

Lacquer Garden! It is not only a town, but in the future, it will become a city, the largest city in the Great Zhou world, and the most prosperous city. Merchants from all over the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty came to the lacquer garden to do business, and took the goods from all over the world to the lacquer garden to sell, and sold the goods of the lacquer garden to all over the world......

Lacquer Garden! A castle with a natural barrier, only two valley mouths need to be defended, and other places, just set up a barrier. So! The lacquer garden will become the center of the Great Zhou world in the future......"

Zhuangzi talked about the current situation and future of the lacquer garden in detail. Hearing this, the money shopkeeper couldn't stop nodding his head, humming in approval from time to time.

"You? You? The lacquer garden is so beautiful, do you still want to go? ”

"Let's go! I must go! I'm going to Qi to find my mother, Rong'er, Sister Qing'er, and the end of the world. I promised my mother, I want to marry Rong'er! I promised my mother that I would take care of Rong'er for the rest of my life. ”

"You?" The money shopkeeper asked, "What about you?" Where to live? Do you still live in the lacquer garden? ”

Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "I don't know! I? ”

"How could you not know?"

"As a Taoist inheritor, I want to preach! Maybe? I will settle down in the country of Qi and occupy a place in the Jixia School Palace, where I will give lectures......"

Zhuangzi said, squinting his eyes quickly, entering an inward state, and peeking at the reaction of the money shopkeeper.

In the inward-looking world, the money shopkeeper looks anxious, and it doesn't look like it's pretending.

"You? You? The money shopkeeper interrupted Zhuangzi and said, "Why do you want to go far and near? You? Lacquer Garden is so good here, you? Why did you go to the country of Qi? You? ”

"I promised my mother, I want to marry Rong'er! I have to go to Rong'er, find my mother! ”

"You can send someone to Qi to find it!"

"I'll have to find it myself!"

"Why do you have to look for it yourself? You? You can send someone to look for it first, and wait until you find Rong'er, your mother, and your sister Qing'er, and then you will pick them up in person, isn't it the same? ”

"This?" Zhuangzi had nothing to say.

"Say it again! At this time, the lacquer garden is exactly when you are needed, how can you go as the inheritor of Taoism? ”

The money shopkeeper said, but instead looked directly at Zhuangzi with his eyes. There was a worried look on his face.

As a human spirit, it is impossible for the money shopkeeper not to know that Zhuangzi is testing him. If you didn't test him, why did you come to his lacquer garden wine shop to find him?

As a human spirit, he naturally will not tell things apart and show his cleverness. But! Tell the truth, get to the point.

"The lacquer garden is about to change, and! Something big is about to happen, you say! Can you still leave now? ”

Zhuangzi saw that the money shopkeeper said it directly, so he did not refute it. But! Listened carefully. What he wants is this effect, what he wants is a good man like the money shopkeeper.

"Something happened to Dai Daguan, whether he is alive or dead, anyway! The lacquer garden is inseparable. And! This matter is also related to your Zhuangzi. You don't say that it has nothing to do with you, your argument is useless. In front of Song Jun, in front of the officials of the Song State, if something happens, it is generally necessary to find a scapegoat to take the blame! You said? Can you go now? ”

"But me? I think I'm better off! so as not to disturb the people here in the lacquer garden. ”

The money shopkeeper angrily picked up his wine glass and took a big sip of wine. And then! Place your glass on the table.

"If you are gone, it shows that you have something to do with this matter, and it shows that you have a weak heart. You? Have you considered it? ”

"This?"

"If you really want to leave, you must wait until the people above come down to track down and see how they track down, instead of leaving now. If you leave now, you will not only involve yourself, but you will also involve the people of Qiyuan. The top tracked down and found that you were gone, and they tracked you down on the one hand. On the one hand, it will only increase the taxes here in the lacquer garden.

And also! Once you leave, maybe the Qiyuan Town Ya will beat you up and shift all the responsibility to you! This one could be quite large! Don't think that there is no problem on the town side, you have a good relationship with the mayor. When the time comes, it is impossible to say who will be the mayor of the town. You? ”

"That? What should I do? Zhuangzi asked.

"How? Do you still want to ask me? The money shopkeeper was very angry and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you!" Alas! ”

"You say! I'm listening! Am I not? Came to ask you for advice? Isn't it? Only then did Zhuangzi explain his true intentions, and he came to ask for advice, and let the money shopkeeper say.
