Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Human Heart Is Like Water

Fan Yuyi led Han Taozi off the carriage and horse, smiling all the way, and very polite, as if he was greeting a perennial friend. The people of the Governor's Palace, when they saw their Governor, were so respectful to a woman that they thought that some dignitary was coming, and they did not dare to slack off, and their words and demeanors were a little more polite.

"How to break the thief in his heart, Mr. Fan seems to have other opinions. Peaches is bent on seeking true knowledge in the world, so that she can figure out how to make the world truly love the world, and she also asks Mr. Fan to give advice. Han Taozi asked Fan Yuyi after sitting down.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, take a sip of tea to quench your thirst first, and it's not too late for us to talk." Fan Yuyi didn't answer directly, just pushed the cup of tea handed over by his family to Han Taozi and said with a smile.

Han Taozi picked up the teacup, glanced at Fan Guyi, and saw the expectant look in Fan Guyi's eyes, and already knew that the next words could not be said nonsense; Looking down at the teacup in his hand, he saw that in the blue and white ceramic cup, the clear and shining tea flickered, a few tea leaves sank at the bottom of the cup, and two tea leaves floated on the surface of the cup; Take a sip gently, a kind of fragrance enters the mouth, straight to the heart, slightly bitter, but it only makes the mind more refreshing.

"The tea is good tea, the water is also good water, the cup is even more delicate, and the taste is good, but compared to the tea that my teacher taught me to brew, it is less condensed." Han Taozi replied.

"People always think that as long as they find good tea, as long as they find good water, and put it in a delicate tea cup, it will be the best tea in the world. But I forgot the four words of sincerity. I just told you in the car that you want to break the thief in people's hearts, but now I want to say that thieves are actually just people.

"The human heart is like water, so I'll use water as an analogy. Rivers, lakes and seas, there is water everywhere, and all things can survive and prosper because of the moisture of water. But swimming in rivers, lakes and seas, accidentally have the chance to be drowned in the water, and storms, floods, and floods are a great disaster in the world, how many people are innocently injured by the water? Water is the most selfless, but water is also the most dangerous, the thief who breaks the heart, just so that the people can live a better life, but if you are not careful, it will bring disaster, this is the difficulty of the thief in the heart. Fan said with a sigh.

"People's hearts are good, but people's hearts are also sinister, and what Mr. Fan said is still very reasonable. My teacher, Lan Qi, believes that if you want to put an end to the dangers in this world, you must use the most powerful power in the world. Through various decrees to benefit the people, let the people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the people will naturally love the world with all their hearts; By designing dangers and traps to guard against all possible disasters, then those who are treacherous and evil will be eliminated in the first place. Could it be that Mr. Fan thinks so too? Han Taozi asked.

"Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to unite people's hearts, and it is difficult to guard against danger, and your teacher is not simple. However, my knowledge does not lie in the application of 'instrument', the key to my knowledge is still the word 'heart'. Fan said.

"Heart? I don't understand this, can Mr. Fan explain it in detail? Han Taozi thought for a while and didn't touch any of his head, so he asked.

"I still say the same thing: people's hearts are like water. What a small people have in their hearts is the desire to survive well. Making money, raising a family, raising offspring, these are all they have, but the basis for the existence of the whole world and the country is these seemingly insignificant things. When a small citizen is tempted by interests, he can't distinguish between right and wrong, and under the blindness of interests, he steals and robs, and deceives, and there are villains. The reason is that without restraint of desire, the basis of survival becomes the source of strife.

"People who have a certain level of knowledge and status are generally guaranteed in their lives. With a secure life, you will not have to work hard for a few buckets of rice, and you will have time to learn the words and deeds. These people can be said to be the pillars of the entire world. Because they have knowledge, they have power, they have money, they have the power to speak.

But these knowledgeable people are easily deceived by opinions, and in the face of national crises, they do not want to unite as one, but attack each other for the sake of one family. What's more, they think that if they have mastered knowledge, they have the right to enjoy themselves, and they do not think about the welfare of the people of the world, but for their own selfish interests, they ignore the countries of the world.

"People with power will indulge in that kind of high-minded atmosphere, and they may have a little conscience at first, but in the end they will only do some things to compete for power.

"As for those who have money, I can only say, 'For the rich is not benevolent, for the benevolent is not rich', when there is peace and stability, the people's lives are guaranteed, and this harm is not obvious. But in such a troubled world where no one can survive, the hatefulness of those rich people is completely revealed. A family indulges in pleasure every day, thousands of families struggle on the edge of life and death, and respond to the suffering of the people with the word 'deserved', without the slightest sympathy, these people can't be hated?

"When the pillars of the country are all rotten into pieces of rotten wood, knowledge, power, and money have become the tools of some people, and the world will fall into great chaos, and everyone will not be able to survive." Fan Yuyi said that in the end, his expression was already very excited.

"Mr. Fan is polite, but what should be done? If today's chaos has become like this, and the world's human heart has fallen into unsightly depravity, how can it be healed? Han Taozi was also sad in her heart after hearing this, she didn't expect that Fan Yuyi, who seemed to be calm and calm, and everything was pampered and not shocked, also had such sad and indignant feelings in her heart, it seemed that in this troubled world, all hope had disappeared.

"The first thing is stability, and then it's about indoctrination. My teacher has the great desire to equalize the world, and his method of equalizing the world is to equalize the world in three sentences: 'Equalize thieves, equalize taxes, and equalize power'. It's just that his methods of implementing these three back then were too extreme, and a lot of people died for this. I have never forgotten the teachings of my teacher for so many years, and I have been thinking about how to save the hearts of the people in the world, and I have found that only stability is the only way to go. The world is set to be one, and this is also the idea that I have not changed. Fan said.

"People's hearts are like water! As long as it can be settled, it is a turbulent river and a turbulent sea, and it can also become a convenience for people to travel. And the human heart is even more so, as long as it can be settled, some calamities will disappear, and all benefits will be born. Han Taozi said.

"And to calm people's hearts, first of all, is to let everyone live, and then let everyone know how to live well. If all knowledge, power, and money are spent on multiplying the riches of heaven and earth, then no one will be able to live; Then vigorously promote education, so that as soon as people go out, they can hear the great truths of the world; As long as you stretch out your hand, you can read the most classic books, so that everyone will become wise and wise, and you will not go down the wrong path because of confusion. As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes shone with excitement, obviously he was very obsessed with this ideal world.

"I already know a thing or two about Mr. Fan's method of breaking the thief in people's hearts, that is, through various means, people's hearts will settle down, as long as people's minds are settled, there will naturally be a lot less fighting. But these reasons are very good, why didn't Mr. Fan say it in public? Han Taozi finally asked.

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's that I can't. The people around me now don't understand at all. They control knowledge, power and money, and when I talk to them about this, they don't think I'm going to cut their flesh? I plan to use them to maintain the stability of Jiangnan first, so that the people of Jiangnan can live well, and as for these chronic diseases, they naturally have to be cured slowly. Fan said.

"Mr. Fan is really a benevolent person, you are thinking about the people of Jiangnan like this, why aren't you thinking about those people around you who are obsessed? Tea is good tea, water is good water, and cups are good cups, but without a piece of sincerity, it can only be boiled into a very ordinary tea. Peaches is not talented, but he is also willing to make a pot of tea for Mr. Fan with sincerity, I only hope that Mr. Fan's sincerity can move more people and make Jiangnan a paradise on earth. After Han Taozi finished speaking, he picked up the teapot, poured out all the tea inside, and then inquired about the whereabouts of the firewood room and went to make tea.

Fan Yuyi listened to Han Taozi's last words, and his heart was also moved, and his body was still sitting in his seat, but his thoughts were no longer here. Being able to be understood and able to say what is in his heart is really happy in Fan Zhiyi's heart.

"Mr. Fan, the tea is ready, please taste it and see how it goes." After a while, Han Taozi brought a pot of boiled tea to Fan Yuyi and said.

Fan Yuyi took the teacup and tasted it, and sure enough, the taste of the tea was much better, and it turned out that the tea with the heart can make people cry.

"Mr. Fan, why are you crying, is the tea too hot?" Han Taozi asked.

"No, the tea is on the right track, it's the best tea I've ever had." Fan Yuyi wiped away a few tears, and then said to Han Taozi with a smile: "Don't you want to ask me for teaching?" I'm going to the southeast soon, you can go with me, and you can communicate more along the way. The southeast literary style is extremely prosperous, and when you get there, maybe you can also have some gains. ”

When Fan Yuyi was a teenager, he followed Ke Zhengwei to study, and he already had the world in his heart. Later, with Ke Zhengwei's pacification of Jiangnan, he began to display his ambitions. Just because he was dissatisfied with Ke Zhengwei's almost brutal way of rule, he was sent to the barren land in the south with a persuasion.

After the fall of the dynasty, the world was plunged into chaos. Fan Zhiyi took hundreds of villagers bravely, and finally reached today's status after more than ten years. But the higher his status, the more reluctant Fan became to speak.

The apparent loyalty of the Southeast Shilin could not hide the weakness in their bones; The careful thinking of the local officials on Jiangnan Sixth Road has also given Fan Yuyi a headache; The local wealthy families, even for their own selfish interests, want to use the influence of the official and the private sector to force Fan to comply, although they are not as aggressive as the four great families back then, but they are not easy to deal with.

Fan Yuyi has a benevolent heart in his heart, and he is unwilling to meet everyone with swords, so he can only use his own talents to do his best to coordinate all forces in Jiangnan and maintain the stability of Jiangnan. But his heart was really tired.

Fu Zuci is the main text, Gu Xiangli is the main martial arts, and one article and one martial arts have become Fan Yuyi's right-hand man. However, Fu Zuci inherited Ke Zhengwei's extremism, believing that in this troubled world, it is necessary to use severe punishment to stop all people from doing evil; And Gu Xiangli himself has not read any books, except for faithfully obeying every word of Fan Zhiyi, he is not a person who can be a friend.

Fan is tired and lonely.

Now that there is really a person who can let him say what is in his heart, and can fully understand what he says, how can his heart not be moved.

"It's a pity that it's just a woman, if it's a man, he will definitely be able to do a lot in the future." Fan Yuyi couldn't sleep for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

In the following days, after dealing with business, Fan Yuyi kept talking to Han Taozi about something. In the past few days, he has been able to open his heart, and Fan Yuyi's mood is also exceptionally good.

It's just that when the people of the Governor's Mansion saw this situation, they would inevitably think crankily, and they all thought that their Governor was going to take a concubine.

A few days later, Fan Yuyi took Han Taozi and went to the southeast, and all the rumors and rumors also spread to the southeast.

When Han Taozi arrived in the southeast water town, he was also full of curiosity about this prosperous land, and visited some famous people in Shilin to discuss some great principles of life. But after a few months, all her excitement was replaced by a disappointment.

Most of the people in Jiangnan Shilin came to greet Han Taozi, and they only had a mentality of looking at rare things. They all wanted to know what it was like to be so admired by their Governor. When we met, some people showed off some poems that were innocent and moaned, and some people simply gave gifts and said some frivolous and rude words. After Han Taozi inquired, she learned that these were all methods used by scholars to prostitutes, and of course she was unhappy in her heart.

After several visits, I didn't meet a few people with real talent and real learning, but I encountered a lot of useless sour and rotten literati. In order to explore true learning, Han Taozi gave up a comfortable life, walked the world, and worked hard at all costs, so he naturally would not be attracted by the singing and dancing of silk and bamboo and the sound of dogs and horses. Full of disappointment, Han Taozi returned to Fan Yuyi's side.

"Well, have you ever gained anything?" Fan asked Yiyi.

"I have only seen some, in spite of any danger, only those who are asleep and drunk." Han Taozi replied.

"There are also some high-ranking people in the southeast, but those high-ranking people like to be quiet and don't like to join in the fun, I will take you to visit them when I have the opportunity. Since you don't like noisy places, why don't you read and write here? Fan replied. (To be continued.) )
