Chapter 250: Debate

Lu Chen saw that the world's righteousness was such a bitch archway, and it seemed that it was not lethal to this cheeky old man, so he was ready to change his method and start from a family perspective. Originally, China has always been a family and a country, and these two always appear at the same time, representing the weight in people's hearts.

"If you plough the acres and refuse to go out, what will you leave to future generations? And what do you take to raise your family? Lu Chen asked. Of course, as a Jingzhou family, Pang Degong is of course not short of money, and it is not a problem to support his family, Lu Chen's subtext is that you don't seek rights, even if the family is strong now, there will always be a day of decline. After all, the power standard has always been China's norm, and it is impossible for the old man not to know this.

Pang Degong put on a fairy wind and said: "There are more people in the world who chase fame, fortune and power, but they can only leave danger and disaster to their descendants. ”

Lu Chen suddenly lost his words, and scolded in his heart, have you participated in the debate competition or what?

Pang Degong said: "And I, what I leave to future generations, live and work in peace and contentment, although it is not comparable to power and wealth, but it is more stable than power and wealth, and moreover, safe!" ”

Lu Chen smiled: "If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, Chen admires the old gentleman's mind and morality, but today is a troubled world of competing heroes." Where can I live and work in peace? I only know that the people are not happy, and I don't know where there is a paradise. ”

"What is the allusion to Xanadu?" The old thing asked.

"Huh??" Lu Chen accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, and the grandfather of the current Tao Yuanming's grandfather was only afraid that it was still liquid, and coughed twice. Lu Chen flickered and said: "Chen read an ancient book, saying that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han were fighting, someone found a space in a cave that had nothing to do with the outside world, so he took his people to avoid trouble in the mountains, where the scenery was beautiful and the land was fertile, enough for them to survive. So much so that hundreds of years later, when the people of the Great Han Dynasty found them, they lived freely, and even asked if the overlord had won the world. Sir, if you find a unique paradise. Please also sue me. Chen also does not want to pay attention to this worldly strife, and is willing to take refuge in the paradise with you. ”

"This is a rumor, how can it be taken seriously?" Pang Degong said disdainfully.

"In that case, where does the gentleman think he can avoid the war?" Lu Chen gained the upper hand and began to press step by step.

"It's true that the people are fish and meat. But I don't want to be a sword. ”

"Sir, it's really high-spirited. But. Chen asks you, do you find it interesting to see the people of swords, fish, and meat? Watch as people are displaced. Are you proud of your inaction? Again, when one day, the sword is added to your children and grandchildren, will you be able to accept it calmly and calmly? ”

"This??" The old man was speechless for a while, but he was worthy of being a great Confucian, and his head was still quite bright, and he quickly replied: "There are officially greedy people in the world, and the people will be so poor." How can I help you? ”

"Really? Why is this so? It was really difficult for Lu Chen to agree with the opinions and ideas of this old antique, if it weren't for his strong influence in Shilin, he would have even brushed his sleeves away.

Seeing that Lu Chen "asked shamelessly", Pang Degong calmed down a little, straightened up, and said: "Back then, Yao and Shun granted the land of the world to his courtiers, without favoritism, and the duke was selfless; Let his son live among the people, without pride and any superiority. Therefore, Danzhu and Shang were able to save their lives and die. Although Yu and Tang got the world, they handed over the country to their relatives, so that they were defeated and retreated, and migrated to Nanchao; The heads of the Zhou were hung from the Zhou banner, and their clan was captured by the enemy. Aren't Yu and Tang stupider than Danzhu and Shangjun? That's why it's in danger. When the Duke of Zhou was regent, he killed his brother. If Zhou Gong and his brothers had been allowed to eat shoddy soup and live under basil, how could there be such a danger! Therefore, when the first saints were the princes of the world, people had no selfish desires, so the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Then, people's hearts are not ancient and racking their brains to plan for their own greed, so the world is in chaos. ”

"Hahaha??" Lu Chen smiled, he had never heard a more bizarre theory. Although he knew that the ancient literati admired the so-called Gong during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he did not expect that they would be so mad as to oppose the progress of civilization, thinking that these were so-called selfish desires and greed.

"Why laugh? Do you despise the sages or laugh at my words? Pound was furious.

"Honestly?? It's both. Lu Chen said arrogantly.

"Shaft!" Pound's beard trembled with anger, and he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait! I, Lu Chen, respect you as a great Confucian in the world, so I came to visit in person, and it doesn't matter if I succeed or not. But for the naΓ―ve views of Confucianism, I don't think I need to pretend to be submissive. So, I have to correct you for a couple of obvious mistakes. Lu Chen had already given up the idea of recruiting this old man, after all, with his pedantic thinking, recruiting him would only add to his own blockage. However, Lu Chen still couldn't help but hit the other party, not only to vent his anger, but more importantly, to let others know that it was not that he couldn't take down this bad old man, but that he couldn't look down on him.

"Huh??" Pang Degong stopped and smiled contemptuously: "Please advise." ”

"Well said, no thanks!" Lu Chen put away his humble appearance, crossed his waist and said, "First, are the people of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors really doing well?" You haven't seen it with your own eyes, I haven't seen it, and no one can say. Maybe you will say that it is said in the book, then I ask you, when did the book come about? At most, it is only a record of the Spring and Autumn Period, how many years have passed since the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors? No one can guarantee its authenticity. ”

"Strong words." Pang Degong sneered.

"Okay, I'll give you something new." Lu Chen said: "This is the second point I want to say. Even if there is chaos today, I insist that the life of most people is better than that of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Why? For they had clothes to wear, they had food to eat, and bronze utensils and pottery to use. Do you think there were these things in the Stone Age? The old man who sits in the well and watches the sky, you don't understand, do you? This is called archaeology, and bronze was only found in the Xia and Shang periods, that is, the era when selfish desires were rampant. Unfortunately, it was during this period that the lives of the common people took a qualitative leap forward, they no longer drank blood, they no longer lived in damp caves, and they no longer roamed the mountains and fields to compete with wild beasts for food. By the way, if there were no bronzes, how do you think the people would hunt? How to farm? Even, how to chop wood and chop vegetables? ”

Pang Degong's mind was a little dizzy, but he argued strongly: "As long as the world is the same, why care about these clever things? The words of a saint can calm the world, and the deeds of a saint can support all people. (To be continued......)
