If it weren't for the official prompt, Zhuangzi really couldn't think of it.

It was not long after returning from Wei and returning to his home country, Song. One day, I walked to a mountain pass. The pass was like a trumpet, and although the mountains on both sides were not tall, they were steep and lined up on both sides. So! Access to the pass is the only access.

When you enter the mountain pass, you find that there is a different scenery inside. The area inside is so large and flat, and the land is also very fertile, which can be planted with water valleys or dry valleys. There is also a large population inside, but? The people here are very disunited, and there are people from all the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I didn't know until I had another mountain pass Zhuangzi, why are there people from all the vassal states here? Originally! The terrain here is treacherous. As long as you hold the mountain passes on both sides, you will have thousands of troops and horses, and you will not want to come in.

So! Refugees who had fled from various vassal states chose to make their homes here.

Although the people here are from all the vassal states, they are not united internally, but they are surprisingly united when they invade foreign enemies. To protect their homes and their families, they all spontaneously united to form a united front and unite to resist Japan.

After Zhuangzi entered here, he walked for more than ten days before leaving the valley. In fact! If you walk properly, it's only a day's journey.

During these ten days, he couldn't walk much almost every day, and he would encounter fights, quarrels, and other incidents. Out of the idea of saving the world and saving people, he will stop to see what is going on and persuade a few words. Input subtitles at the site: нeì Уа Пgе·Сом to watch the new chapter

Since leaving Hangu Pass and entering the Wei State, he has been like this, preaching, saving people and saving the world, and doing his part. His life belonged to Taoism, and he was preaching Taoism to save the world and save people.

It is for this reason that he walks very slowly. I don't know how many good deeds have been done and how many people have been saved along the way. In order to explain a truth clearly, he will take the trouble to explain patiently until the other party understands. For some people who can't be saved, he doesn't give up until the other party is disgusted with him and drives him away.

Along the way, when he saw those hungry people, he would take out the money on his body and give a certain amount of money according to the actual situation of the other party to solve the other party's urgent needs. As for how the other party will survive in the future, there is nothing he can do.

Every time he looked at those who were unable to live, he wept silently. There's really nothing he can do! Can't help everyone in the world! He can only solve the urgent needs of others! There are so many people in need of help in this world that he can only help those he meets. For the poor who can't be seen, he can only be in front of ignorance.

Selfish! He could only be so selfish!

The Hulu Valley was densely populated and was originally a rich place, but due to the large population, it became a poor place. In addition, the population here comes from the various vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people who fled here are not simple people.

Furthermore! Those who come together are very united. So! The various batches of personnel were divided into gangs, and they did not give in to each other for the sake of profit. Those who come first bully those who come later, and the strong side with more people bully the weaker side with fewer people.

The end result is that people who are numerous and powerful live a prosperous life. The few, the disadvantaged, and those who come after them live in poverty.

The strongest of those who could not survive became the scourge of the gourd valley, and they became thieves, or engaged in some other deceitful profession. If they can't do it again, they will take revenge on those who bullied them and fight to the death. The true face of humanity is visible here.

Zhuangzi spent the Lunar New Year in the gourd valley before leaving.

During the Warring States Period, the day of the New Year was not the same day as the Spring Festival today. Different customs and different days are different from place to place. Generally, the beginning of spring ploughing is the New Year, that is, the day of the spring ploughing is the New Year, rather than the first day of the new year.

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.

History records that Zhuangzi was an official "lacquer garden official", which was done here.

This is the slum of the Song Kingdom, and it is also a microcosm of society throughout the Warring States period. Here, you can see humanity in its truest form. It is equivalent to modern people entering the vegetable market, and they can see the microcosm of society.

No matter how well you say it, you can't fool others, others go to the large vegetable market to see, there is a microcosm of society, and the true expression of human nature can be seen at a glance.

The road that could have been walked in one day took Zhuangzi more than ten days to walk. He preached and dealt with civil disputes along the way, and his fairness and justice made the people there unforgettable for life. So! After he left, the people there jointly sent a letter to Song Kuocheng, the monarch of the Song State, asking Zhuangzi where to become a town official.

When he learned that it was the Lacquer Garden, Zhuangzi's first thought was "influence". That's probably what Master meant when he said influence. He really didn't expect that he would do something practical along the way, and he would have such a great influence? In a small place, Qiyuan Town has created such a big influence. If this is to make a career in the Song Kingdom and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how influential will it be?

Master said that influence is very important to a person. The stronger a person's influence, the greater his power in the mental realm!

Influence or not, anyway! Zhuangzi decided, accepted the appointment letter of the monarch of the Song State, accepted the invitation of the people of Qiyuan, and went to be the town official of Qiyuan Town.

Preaching, saving the world, and saving people are his Zhuangzi's life pursuits.
