Chapter 34: The Taoist Man
Despite the ravages of reality, life still needs to go on, people always have to live, despite their humble status, they are tenacious and tenacious.
At the entrance of Changyun Village, Jiang Yin got on the ox cart leaving the village in the eyes of dozens of clear and happy children, and after saying goodbye to Principal Cha, Lin Yue instructed the coachman to drive.
The coachman raised the short whip in his hand, and hit the buffalo on the buttocks, the old black cow "mooed" and began to slowly carry the wooden cart forward, the whip-like tail of the ox was also vigorously flung up, seeing this buffalo, Jiang Yin suddenly felt that this village was like this black cow that endured humiliation and burden, only when the pressure of survival was pumped on the body, it could move forward slowly, it did not know how to change, and there was no hope to change
The ox cart started slowly, Jiang Yin sat on the swaying ox cart, and gradually moved away from the village, but his eyes stayed in the direction of the village, until finally the figures of the children who had been waving gradually disappeared in the grass and fog at the foot of the mountain
Xu Yang learned from the China Youth Foundation that there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 people in China in Pingjian Mountain Villages like Changyun Village, and many places are inaccessible, hundreds of families in a village are all self-sufficient, and have little contact with the outside world.
The government also wants to manage it, but it can't manage it at all, either let these people move collectively, but the housing arrangement and work arrangement are big problems, or they will build roads, but there is no economic benefit in building roads in such remote mountainous areas, and it can only increase the burden, and it is difficult for these peasant children to go to school, but there is no good way, so they can only give some subsidies to these mountain villages every year to barely live.
In the end, China is still a developing country, and the abundance of the material base is not implemented on everyone's head, and a lot of capital is concentrated in the individual. In other words, a country or a group is not afraid of poverty, but is afraid of unfair distribution.
It's not that there can't be a gap between the rich and the poor, but this gap can't be too big, if the rich don't have a benevolent heart, but use the means of rolling profits to extract benefits from the poor, the end result is that the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the society is turbulent, and the common people begin to hate the rich
dragged a tired body back home, and after coping with some inquiries from his parents, Jiang Yin took a shower, then returned to his small bedroom, closed the door, and lay on the bed alone, quietly thinking about the meaning of making money during this time.
Tianchen Company is already on the right track, and the Song Dynasty itself already has a place to stay, everything is in the plan, but Jiang Yin lacks a final direction.
"I'm also a rich man now," Jiang Yin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Could it be that the meaning of my money is to make more money than everyone else?" Standing at the top of everyone? Is that what success is called? ”
"This is not what I want, if this is also considered a success, it is too vulgar and useless," Jiang Yin closed his eyes, he wanted others to show him a direction, modern people are too impetuous, Jiang Yin is unwilling to listen to the advice of anyone in modern times, he suddenly remembered that some time ago, Wang Shiyi in the Song Dynasty told him that there was a real person in a Taoist temple in the south of Bianjing City, Jiang Yin decided to go to the Song Dynasty to ask him for advice
Kaibao 9th year, August 23.
Wang Shiyi got up early in the morning today, August 23, the young master ordered, today is the day when the young master alchemy pill and the valley is out of the customs, so Wang Shiyi got up early in the morning and began to clean the yard and tidy up the courtyard.
Just after the beginning of autumn, it rained again two days ago, the originally hot Bianjing suddenly cooled down, today it cleared, the two plane trees in the courtyard began to lose their leaves, Wang Shiyi knew that this autumn was coming again, I don't know how the grain harvest in his hometown was.
Just thinking about it casually, the door of the young master's room was suddenly pushed open with a squeak, and I saw a young man walking out of the door in a dusty white scholar's suit, looking heroic.
"Young Master!" When Wang Shiyi saw Jiang Yin coming out, he immediately surrounded him excitedly, "Young master, morning!" ”
"Hmm," Jiang Yin nodded at the teenage servant, "Eleven, early." ”
"Hey, hey." Originally, Wang Shiyi was very worried after learning that he was going to be given away by the Wang family, but after seeing the new master he was going to serve, he was completely relieved, Jiang Yin didn't seem to be a harsh master, and later the facts proved that this new master was not only kind, but also very good to them.
Jiang Yin stood on the platform, squinted his eyes and asked Wang Shiyi: "Eleven, didn't I hear you say a few days ago that there is not a Yuntai Temple on a mountain thirty miles south of Bianjing City?" And the real person in charge of the Taoist temple, Daochang Chen, was said to be miraculous, there is nothing to do today, I want you to take me to visit. ”
"Young master, are you talking about the Yuntai view on Baiyuan Mountain?" Wang Shiyi reminded him.
"Yes, it's this Baiyuan Mountain Yuntai Temple, this son has some doubts and wants to ask the Taoist in the Taoist Temple."
Passing through the bustling Bianjing Street, Jiang Yin got into a carriage out of the South City Gate, crossed the Chenzhou Gate in the outer city, and drove all the way south.
There are two mountain ranges around Bianjing City, one is in the south, one is in the north, the name of the mountain in the south is called Baiyuan Mountain, there are many Taoist temples on the mountain, the Taoist platform, the Temple of Heaven and so on, all are built by the children of Taoism, and the mountain in the north is called Kaibao Mountain, there is the most famous temple in Bianjing on the mountain, Kaibao Temple, there are countless Buddha statues in the iron tower in the mountain, the two mountains are full of incense, and the people who ask for the sign to worship the Buddha are endless.
After less than half an hour in the carriage, the coachman stopped on a stone road in the mountains, Wang Shiyi paid the car, and then took Jiang Yin off the carriage, and climbed up the mountain little by little along a stone road, explaining to Jiang Yin while climbing, "Young master, this mountain is the famous autumn rain Yuntai vein of Baiyuan Mountain, and the Yuntai view you want to go to is on the top of this mountain." ”
The mountain road built by the ancients is steep and steep, after all, it is necessary to save stones, so each step is much higher than the modern tourist attractions, even Jiang Yin climbed for a while and felt out of breath, I don't know what happened today, there are not many people who come to the Taoist temple to incense, there are few people on the mountain road, Jiang Yin and Wang Shiyi felt tired after climbing for a while, Jiang Yin looked up, pointed to a platform not far from the top and said: "Let's go up there first and rest there and then climb." ”
When the two climbed to the platform, they found that the platform had been climbed first, and an old Taoist priest in a slightly shabby Taoist uniform was sitting on the platform with a small Taoist priest closing his eyes and recuperating, and it seemed that he had been resting here for a long time.
Although this old Taoist priest is dressed in shabby clothes, his white beard is fluttering, his expression is indifferent, and he is wearing a Taoist uniform without wind, but he looks like a fairy wind and bones.
Hearing a noise around him, Xiao Daotong was the first to open his eyes, and then Jiang Yin heard his milk voice and said, "Master, master, someone is coming!" ”
The old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, as if a flash of light, Jiang Yin actually saw a complicated look in his eyes, expectation, excitement, appreciation?
I saw the old Taoist bow and salute, and then said slowly: "Poor Dao took up a hexagram this morning, 8864 turned back to the map, the Qiankun reversed, the hexagram explained the celestial phenomena, this is the trend of ten thousand adversity, the sign of the arrival of distinguished guests, and the poor Dao has been waiting here for a long time."
