Lu Zhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Runde's words are too idealistic, the reality is dirty, and the people's hearts are unpredictable. It's not that the teacher looks down on businessmen, but in fact, most of the people who do business are mercenary, deceitful, speculative, deceitful, and only focus on money. ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "What the teacher said, it is inevitable that some people cover the whole with partiality, it is true that some illegal traders will do whatever it takes to make huge profits, but most virtuous businessmen disdain this, doing business, the first thing to do is reputation, without a good reputation, there will be no long-term customers, can deceive people for a while, how can they deceive people for a lifetime?" A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, and compared with those scholars and bureaucrats who cover the sky with one hand, take bribes and bend the law, and engage in fraud for personal gain, the students think that businessmen are more cute. Although businessmen have money in their hands, they have always been at the bottom of the society, more or less caused them to be honored and disgraced, obedient, sleek, and exquisite, but this is not their fault, it is created by the injustice of social status, forced to helpless, they can only be a momentary welcome, up and down, to bribe those in power, otherwise they can only achieve nothing. ”

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhi sighed lightly and said, "Perhaps, it's really the teacher's mistake." ”

"The students think that this is not the fault of the teacher, but the concept of the people in the world is wrong, not only the superior takes it for granted to enslave the lower people, but also the inferior people accept this kind of enslavement from the heart, as long as they are not forced into a desperate situation, they will not resist, and there is still a long way to go to truly instill the belief of equality into the hearts of everyone, and the students vow to take this as the ideal of the students' lifelong struggle."

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his short beard slightly and said: "The ambition of Runde is ancient and unprecedented, and I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Liu Ze Zhengse said: "The student's wish is nothing more than the word equality, if you want all beings in the world to be equal, you need to be bound by the law, in ancient times, there was a prince who broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime, but what is the real realization?" It's just a formality. The law that students want must be upright and strict, sacred and inviolable, no one can be above the law even if he is the son of heaven, everyone is equal in front of the law, and those who commit adultery must be executed according to the law, and all walks of life must be acted in accordance with the law, in order, no one can violate it, and with the law as a guarantee, the concept of equality of all beings must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and peace in the world is not an empty word. ”

"Before the law, everyone is equal,......" Lu Zhi muttered, "The ambition of Runde is somewhat similar to the Legalist doctrine......

Liu Ze said with a smile: "According to the Legalists, the harsh punishment of the law is nothing more than serving and dictating the emperor, putting the shackles of the law on the heads of the people, imprisoning the people's thoughts, and servicing the people's bodies, so Qin's death is not accidental." The law of my deeds, the law of the people of the world, is not for one person, but for the benefit of the people of the world, equality and freedom are the core of the law, which is very different from the Legalist saying. ”

Lu Zhi was silent, obviously it was difficult for a person in the Han Dynasty to understand the equality and freedom of modern society, even if he was a generation of Confucianism at that time, Lu Zhi groaned and said: "Runde's ambition is unprecedented, but this seems to have nothing to do with business?" ”

"The student is from a poor family, from a humble background, although he has the name of the imperial family, but his family has long since declined, although he has great ambitions in his heart, but it is difficult to show his ambitions, so he has to find another way and choose to do business, also out of helplessness. Maybe a noble person like a teacher can't see the smell of copper, but in this world, money can be channeled, although money is not omnipotent, but without money it is absolutely impossible. For example, if the students are shy now, they have no choice but to watch the refugees starve to death, on the contrary, just as the students now have money, they can give up porridge for relief, relieve the people, and fulfill their life's wishes. If it weren't for this porridge, the teacher would not have seen me. ”

"Yes, originally I didn't have the heart to see you, it was because of this porridge that I decided to see you as a teacher, and now inside and outside the capital, who doesn't know the name of Liu Ze of Zhuo County, and the discussion of you is naturally mixed, for the name? For the sake of profit? There are different opinions, and the teacher is also wondering, why is it consumed every day? When I saw it today, I knew the details, but I didn't think that your mind was so simple, only asking for the people's lives, but there was nothing else to ask for, so high and bright, so that I and other people who read poetry and books were ashamed. ”

"The ideal of a student's life is to keep the world peaceful and build a harmonious and prosperous world, and the millions of refugees outside the Yuyuan Pass are also the people of the world. As for how others look at it, the students don't care, if the students really want to seek fame and profit, and the tens of thousands of dollars they spend every day, it is better to invest in the West Garden. But this kind of official position is not what students want, and students don't disdain to do it. ”

Lu Zhi's eyes showed a look of approval, and said: "The world is hot and cold, and morality is degraded, Runde can have such an indifferent heart in this turbid world, and it really did not disappoint the teacher." I wonder what your opinion is on the general trend of the world? ”

Liu Ze said respectfully: "In front of the teacher, how dare the student speak falsely. ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said: "Today, there are only you and me, the second brother and apprentice, there is no need to be restrained, it doesn't hurt to speak out, even if you say the wrong teacher, I won't blame you." ”

"That being the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. The students believe that although the Yellow Turban traitors claim to be millions and are menacing, they are just some homeless grass bandits, a rabble, and they will definitely be able to break through within the year, and the scourge of the Yellow Turbans is not enough to cause trouble. ”

Lu Zhi excitedly took a few shots of the case, and said loudly: "Runde's words are exactly what I want, but it's ridiculous that the important minister in the court is afraid of the Yellow Turban thief and advocates appeasement, if it weren't for me and Huangfu Song's strong advice, I'm afraid it would ......."

"The students thought that it was absolutely impossible to appease them."

"Oh, why?"

"Although the appeasement can not be used without swords, but it is undoubtedly to promote the thief's power, thinking that there is no one in the court, the thief will become more and more rampant, even if the appeasement is successful, the court will definitely pay it with the state and county, which is equivalent to the compensation for the land cut, where is the face of the court? I know Zhang Jiaoqi, his ambition is quite big, his ambition is not in a state or a county, today he is recruited as an official, he is gathering strength every day, he will definitely raise troops and rebel, and seek to seize the world. Therefore, students believe that appeasement is the next policy. ”

Lu Zhixi said: "Runde's words are very much in line with my heart. Now the court has sent me, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to go out on the expedition, and there will be good news to Beijing within a month. ”

Liu Ze sighed lightly and said, "The yellow scarf is easy to break, but there will be no more peace in this world." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned and said, "Why did Runde say this? ”

Although this move is conducive to quelling the rebellion, the local officials have been strong and self-respecting, and they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the court, and the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period will surely reappear. At that time, it must be the chaos of the princes, the rampant wars, the famine and plague, the people are not able to make a living, the people of the world will be in deep trouble, and the 50 million Li people of the Han Dynasty will be difficult to survive. ”

Lu Zhi was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Liu Ze was so young and had such an insight, not only could he see the situation of the Battle of the Yellow Turban, but also focus on the general trend of the world in the following decades, and his sensitivity to the current situation was far better than that of them, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, and sighed: "Runde's eyes are like torches, and the general trend of the world is in the palm of his hand." ”

Liu Ze said: "The concerns of the students are not just that, the princes are strife, and the heroes are rising together, but they are just brothers and internal worries. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, and Di in the north are the real external troubles in their hearts, and these Hulu covet the fertile fields of our Central Plains for a long time, but they are afraid of the national prestige of our Han Dynasty and do not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. After the war of the princes, the court existed in name only, the country was weak and the people were poor, how could they resist the iron hoof scimitar of Hu Lu, the territory of my Han Dynasty, was Hu Lu **, the people of my Han Dynasty, reduced to lambs to the slaughter, my Chinese nation, will fall into a hell that will not be recovered, this is really a great danger of survival. ”

These words, it is not Liu Ze's mouth, but after careful consideration, people who read history are often amazed by the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, how many people are fascinated by the passionate epic era, but what about after? The history of the Chinese nation has fallen into the darkest and most tragic era after the glory of the Qin and Han dynasties - Wuhu Chaohua, from the beginning of the southern invasion of Hulu in 304 A.D. to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty in 581 A.D., nearly three hundred years, the Chinese nation has been struggling on the death line, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were tragically struck, and thousands of Li people were slaughtered. Later generations did not mention the Nanjing Massacre without indignation and heartache, but the tragic situation of Wuhu Chaohua was 10,000 times more miserable, and at that time, our people were no longer counted as human beings, and were called "two-legged sheep" by the Hu people, and they were saved as food for the Hu people. The most direct reason for the decline of a nation to the point of almost extinction is that the internal friction of the war between the three countries dragged our nation into the abyss of darkness for 300 years. Liu Ze was reborn, he remembered this history vividly, and he understood the mission given to him by God, although he could not prevent the arrival of troubled times, but he had the obligation to end this catastrophe, minimize the losses caused by the civil war, and save the nation from peril, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

Lu Zhi was deeply shocked, is such a strong sense of national distress possessed by this young man who has passed the age of the weak crown? Based on reality and focusing on the future, his vision and his mind have long surpassed this era. Lu Zhi sighed: "For the sake of the teacher, the one who can eliminate the difficulty of this catastrophe is none other than Runde." ”

Liu Ze didn't say anything more humble at this time, and bowed deeply: "Teacher, rest assured, but let the students have a breath, and never let Huma pass the Yin Mountain, the students will use the power of their lives to turn the tide and save the people from fire and water." ”

"Good, good. Runde, I don't know what your plans are for the time being? ”

"The world is in turmoil, and the students' business naturally can't be done, and the students plan to return to Zhuo County to recruit villagers and defend the country, which is also the obligation of a scholar."
