If Zhuangzi manages the lacquer garden, it really makes Bai Gui anxious for a while. But! His worries were unwarranted. What Zhuangzi did later, really! Reasonable, unexpected.

In the past, the lacquer garden was overgrown with lacquer trees on both sides of the mountain, and the ground in the valley was also overgrown with lacquer trees. This is the lacquer center of the Song Kingdom, the lacquer industry center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the main place where the Song Kingdom earns foreign exchange.

But! Since the Spring and Autumn Period began to compete for hegemony, no one could stop the war when it came. The economy of the Song Kingdom declined, and the lacquer industry declined. A large number of refugees poured in, believing that this was a good place to take refuge, so they cut down the sumac trees on the flat ground and planted crops.

And then later! When the refugees poured in, they cut down all the sumac trees on the flat land and planted crops. Anyway! There is no one to take care of the chaos. Plus the most valuable thing in the war years was grain and not lacquer, so! No one cares about the Song Kingdom, no matter what you run, as long as you pay taxes.

And then later! The Song State attached great importance to the lacquer industry again, believing that lacquer products were a rare thing, and they were more valuable than gold in peacetime. But at this time! The sumac trees on the flat ground have been cut down, and only the sumac trees on the mountain remain.

The lacquer industry is an official industry that affects the lives of refugees. So! The refugees living in the valley constantly confronted the government and secretly cut down all the sumac trees on the mountain.

And now! The original lacquer garden is long gone!

So! When Zhuangzi passed by here, he didn't know that this place was called the Lacquer Garden, let alone that the Lacquer Garden had a long history.

In troubled times, the law does not work. In troubled times, how to keep yourself alive, the way to survive is the law. If you cling to the laws, morals, manners, righteousness, and so on of the past, you will not be able to live.

In troubled times, the past, civilization, and so on are cleared. You are the law, and you are the only one in the world.

In troubled times, don't expect the law to protect you. The law is often used as if it were used to keep the law-abiding people in check. The etiquette system is the same, in troubled times, it has also become a shackle that binds people.

In troubled times, you can only survive in the cracks! If you don't obey the law, you're dead, and if you obey the law, you're subject to others everywhere. It's the same with etiquette, if you don't obey what people say about you, and if you obey it, people say you're pedantic.

So! In troubled times, you can only survive in the cracks. You are a man before men, and you are a devil before demons. You are a true gentleman in front of a gentleman, and you are a villain in front of a villain! In front of the Qing officials, you are a legal citizen; In front of the corrupt officials, you are the master of the whisker and horse slapping master!

Alive! You have it all! including joy and pain, wealth and poverty.

You got everything you wanted, but! What's the use of what you get if you die? You get everything you want, you get everything by any means, but you can't enjoy it, what's the use of what you get?

You get everything by any means, but you can only enjoy a little bit of it, what is the point of your pay, aren't you tossing around?

Don't? Is your life here to toss around, to disrupt others so that they can't live peacefully?

If you're that kind of person, then! Congratulations! Zhuangzi is going to govern Qiyuan Town. The small town of Qiyuan has a population of tens of thousands, and he only plans to govern it in about a full month. Those who disturb others can die.

"How many wicked people are there in your Qiyuan Town?" Zhuangzi asked.

A girl named Seller said: "We people in Qiyuan Town are all wicked! None of them are good people! ”

Selling a child is a poor girl saved by Zhuangzi on the first day he became an official.

"Where?"

"In our Qiyuan Town, there are seven great evildoers, and they are the elders of the seven major gangs in Qiyuan Town. They are vicious not only to the people of other gangs, but also to those under their control!

Underneath these seven wicked people, there are countless dogs, dogs that bite people indiscriminately, seven seven and forty-nine dogs. In fact, there are more than a hundred dogs. These dogs bite people everywhere, and I have been bitten countless ......times by them, and I have been bitten countless times by them."

Let Zhuangzi govern Qiyuan Town, it is impossible for Zhuangzi to "rule by inaction". If you don't get rid of these wicked people in these seven gangs, no one will be able to manage Qiyuan Town well.

How to get rid of it? Purged through the laws of the Song Kingdom?

If the laws of the Song Kingdom still worked? There will be no more wicked people. If it was cleared through the laws of the Song Kingdom, not only would it not be able to eliminate these wicked people, but Zhuangzi might have been eliminated by these seven wicked people first.

Gather a group of people to clear up?

It can't be either! The laws of the Song Kingdom, which usually don't work at all, came into play again at this time. Why do you want to clean up people for no reason?

And also! Not to mention the obstacles from the laws of the Song Kingdom, can you have the strength to clear them?

So! This path can't be done either! Just like the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Seven Great Princes, you can't manage the affairs of the Seven Great Princes without that strength. Right now! The Great Zhou was on an equal footing with the Seven Great Princes. Even! The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not as good as the princes of others.

The only way is to keep quiet and find an opportunity to get rid of these seven wicked people.

In fact! Don't get rid of all of them, just get rid of a few of them, and the other wicked people won't dare to do anything wrong. When the time comes, they feel as if a sharp sword hangs over their heads, and this sword will fall on their heads at any moment.

In fact! Whether a person is a good person or a wicked person does not need to be defined by the law or the evaluation of the world.

You are a wicked person, you bully others and don't let others live a good life, you have to always worry about others coming to retaliate and take your life! You should take this into account when you bully someone! So! When the invisible sword hangs above their heads, they dare not do evil again.

After listening to Mai'er's words, the corners of Zhuang Zhou's mouth curled, revealing an imperceptible smile.

He also thought that it would take about a month to govern Qiyuan Town. Seemingly! Just spend a night or two getting rid of evil. And then! Spend a few more days teaching the people. And then! It is to form a joint defense team for the poor. That is, to recruit disciples, teach them martial arts and Taoism, and let them become the patron saints of Qiyuan Town.

When the team is formed, he can leave Qiyuan Town and go to Qi Country to find Rong'er and them. Later! If you have time, take the time to come over, come over secretly to check, and deal with the problem in time. If you don't have time, you don't need to come over, it's enough to have your own disciples and those joint defense members.

The last time he experienced Qiyuan Town, he had heard a lot about the seven wicked people in Qiyuan Town. This time, I asked for help, and it was confirmed again. There's no need to ask, just make sure that these seven people are damned people.

Since they deserve to die, let them die!
