Chapter 322: Fan Zeng: I'm just going to take a look
As a result, as soon as they approached the vicinity of the land where the demons appeared, they smelled the smell of sulfur.
As Taoist warlocks who have been immersed in the art of alchemy for decades, how could they not smell this familiar smell, and how could they not know what this kind of Dilongxi means?
Sulfur, however, is a common thing they use to refine elixir, and it is also one of the most important auxiliary materials for them to coax foolish men and women. Many visions of "ghosts and gods" are inseparable from the assistance of this material.
Do you still need this for the manifestation of ghosts and gods?
This is inexplicably everything in the eyes of ordinary people, and they smell a familiar smell at once!
It's just that I didn't expect to be used on my head today.
"But how can you prove it?"
The wide-faced old man, with one word, instantly fell silent in the carriage.
Yes, even if there is no problem with my own speculation, the key to the problem is how to prove it? How did the "ghost and god greetings" that appeared out of thin air come about?
This method is unheard of!
"Let's go, let's go meet Brother Fan first-he was here at the time, and if he saw it with his own eyes, he might be able to get a glimpse of what ...... it was all about."
But when the two of them rushed to Fan Zeng's residence according to the address provided by the alliance, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The copper lock outside the door hangs high, and the dead leaves are everywhere, and it is clear that no one has lived in it for a while.
Probably seeing them wandering around the door, a thin old man in his fifties and sixties soon surrounded him with two young juniors.
"The little old man heard that he was the captain of this place. Who are you, and why don't you stay here......"
"It turned out to be Wen Wu Chang, the old man and his friends traveled here together, I heard that my old friend lived here, I came to visit, and I dared to ask Wen Wu Chang if he knew where the master had gone......
The wide-faced old man smiled and saluted, and stepped forward to talk.
Seeing that it was the two old men, the guarded guard of the captain had already dissipated a little, and at this time, when he heard that it was the old friend of the master here, the look on his face was already a little friendly, and he bowed his hand and apologized.
"It turned out to be Mr. Fan's friend, and the little old man was disrespectful—"
The wide-faced old man and the old man known as Brother Ziwei couldn't help but glance at each other, revealing a hint of surprise, it seemed that Fan Zeng was quite prestigious here.
"Mr. Fan is kind-hearted, and now he is helping out in the Daqin Royal Charity Hall, and he hasn't come back to rest for a few days......"
"Great Qin Royal Charity Hall?"
The two couldn't help but look at each other.
Seeing the demeanor of the two of them, Wen Wuchang, who heard the news, couldn't help but straighten his waist, and the two young people behind him couldn't help but show a proud look.
"Exactly, this charity hall was built by the eldest grandson of our family, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is benevolent......
When he mentioned this, Wen Wuchang's face lit up and he was very interested.
After careful inquiry, the two of them learned that His Royal Highness the Emperor had now contributed money to set up a charity hall to help those who were widowed and lonely, hungry and cold, and displaced and homeless.
And the scale is quite large, and the coverage is also very wide, and now the beneficiaries have reached tens of thousands.
Fan Zeng went there to help during this time.
Reviewing the situation, registering the household registration, classifying, dispatching manpower, and distributing materials are all complicated, and it is not so simple to deal with them.
"Two gentlemen, you may not know, the Emperor's Eldest Sun's Charity Hall, according to the poor masters in the hall, even if this is the case now, it is only a trial trial, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun, within this year and next year, this kind of Charity Hall will be promoted to all parts of the world......"
Seeing the look of surprise in the eyes of the two from time to time, Wen Wu Chang couldn't help but smile.
"It's not a secret, the two children behind me are now helping out in the Emperor's Eldest Sun Charity Hall......
"Disrespectful ......"
The two couldn't help but glance at the two young juniors behind Chief Wen Wu a few more times, and the two young people became more and more energetic, and their eyes were much kinder when they looked at the two.
"Don't dare to be an elder and praise falsely, the younger generation just follows in the footsteps of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun and does some small things within their ability......"
The two couldn't help but glance at each other.
They all saw the confusion in the eyes of the other party, Daqin, who was famous for his tyranny and harshness, actually contributed money and efforts in the name of the royal family to build a charity hall to help the poor people!
The two couldn't help but be silent.
Arching his hand in a bit of distraction, he declined the warm invitation of Wen Wu Chang, and the two of them turned to leave, took their own talismans, and found a nearby inn that looked fairly clean to live in.
In the guest house, the two sat opposite each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Compassion is shared by everyone, and it has been used since ancient times to help widows and lonely people and help poor families, but before that, most of them were personal behaviors, and they had never heard of such a move.
Looking at the six countries, the successive monarchs, although they all shouted compassion for the people, but who has really come up with tangible benefits like this?
They knew that once this kind of charity hall really implemented the world as the old man said just now, the prestige of the Great Qin royal family would definitely change like never before.
After all, what social inheritance, national hatred and family hatred are too far away from ordinary people.
As far as the eyes of the people can see, there are only food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and three meals a day. Whoever gives them food and wears their shirts, they will read their goodness.
When the time comes, will you still be able to maintain the situation?
"Are those beggars and homeless people near Xianyang really not driven away, but sheltered and rescued by the so-called Royal Charity Hall?"
The wide-faced man frowned and looked at his old friend beside him.
The old man, known as Brother Ziwei, was silent.
"Do they think that if they give some money, help a little poor people, and come out to do some good deeds in the name of the royal family, they can change the general trend of the world?"
The wide-faced old man glanced at his old friend who was obviously thoughtful.
"The first emperor of the world as his home, insisted on going his own way, and implemented the system of counties and counties, this move is undoubtedly to abandon the people of the world, this law is not changed, and the people of the world abandon it - the charity hall that invites people to buy people's hearts can play a role in addition to coaxing some foolish men and foolish women?"
Speaking of this, as if to cheer himself up, the wide-faced old man smiled suddenly.
Although His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun saw the fearful will of the people and tried to change the impression of the people of the world on the tyrannical Qin, he still did not know enough after all, and did not understand that the so-called people's will did not lie in the foolish men and women, but in the people of the world. Winning the hearts of the people of the world is the real heart of the people of the world——"
"Ordinary people, ignorant and ignorant, and very easy to provoke, drive the east to the east, call the west to the west, like chickens and dolphins, at a loss, such as the light of fireflies, how to compare with the bright moon, if there are no scholars to lead and help, what is the use?"
The old man, known as Brother Ziwei, was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and then he replied with a sigh and sigh.
"This emperor's eldest grandson is still benevolent after all, but it's a pity ......"
The wide-faced old man didn't speak, he naturally understood that his old friend was in pity.
It's a pity that such talents were born in the home of the First Emperor of the Great Qin!
But small benevolence and small righteousness are not enough to save the world.
The world has suffered for a long time, and the violent Qin has not been eliminated, and the people of the world are often to blame, panic and cannot live all day; The tyrannical Qin is not eliminated, people with lofty ideals, Huai Jin holds Yu, and learning is useless, the home of Lieding, the glory is not continued, and the blood food sacrifice cannot be saved.
Running for the world's disobedience is a great righteousness, and there is no room for maneuver.
"There are many people in the world who sell fame and reputation, and there are also more people who draw camps and camps, and dig out their hearts to be greedy villains, perhaps——"
The old man, known as Brother Ziwei, groaned slightly when he said this.
"Maybe we don't have to rush to see Brother Fan, these days, we might as well take a walk around here first, take a look, and see what kind of situation this charity hall is......"
The broad-faced old man nodded.
"Good!"
……
"Mr. Fan, the younger generation wants to ask, what is the righteousness in this world......
Charity Hall.
The night is dark, and most of the people who are close to home have gone home to celebrate the New Year with their families, but it is Zhou Yin and Fan Zeng, the old and the young, who have no relatives in this Xianyang, and they are too lazy to bother others, so they simply stay and drink together.
At this time, in the side room, Zhou Yin, who already had three points of wine, carried the wine jug, got up and poured it for Fan Zeng, and then knelt on his seat upright, looking directly at Fan Zeng in front of him for a moment.
"Can it be righteous to help the needy?"
Fan Zeng shook his head slightly.
"This is a small prosthetic."
Zhou Yin asked again.
"Caring for the people, being benevolent and loving people, thinking and doing everything is for the food and clothing of the people, and the well-being of the people in the world, can it be a great righteousness?"
Fan Zeng was silent.
He naturally knew the meaning of Zhou Yin's words, but he couldn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer. These days, he was dragged by Zhou Yin to work in this charity hall, and he knew better than anyone how many hungry people this charity hall had helped, and he knew better than anyone what this charity hall in the name of the Great Qin royal family meant.
Zhou Yin picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
"Before the younger generation, in Jiujiang, I saw that Qin's law was strict, and I saw that the first emperor reused the legalists, promoted the counties, abandoned the scholars, and isolated himself from the people of insight in the world......
Zhou Yin looked at Fan Zeng, who was silent, and his tone was a little more sincere.
"Mr. is talented, wise, and has been in Xianyang for a long time, when he knows the emperor's eldest grandson and his affairs, Mr. thinks that if the emperor's eldest grandson can inherit that position, how will the future of Daqin ......"
Fan Zeng put down his wine glass and looked at Zhou Yin calmly.
"What is the future of Great Qin, I don't know, but I know that Great Qin's strict punishment law will not change, and the status quo of Great Qin's implementation of counties and exclusion of hundreds of schools will not change-"
After speaking, he sighed inexplicably.
"Little Brother Zhou, I know that you have expectations for His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, but this Great Qin has been accumulating disadvantages for a long time. As early as when Xiaogong reused Shangjun to change the law, he had already fallen into the root of the disease. Now, it is like a galloping carriage, which can't stop, even if it is the emperor's eldest grandson, Tianzong genius, majestic and strategic, I'm afraid he can't change it......"
Zhou Yin holds wine for longevity.
"I want to hear ...... detail"
Fan Zeng sighed, raised his wine glass and drank it all.
"Qin uses the study of the law, encourages farming, implements military merits, the prime minister must come out of the state and county, and the fierce general must be sent to the army, so the Qin people are happy when they hear the war, whenever they fight, they will give up their lives and forget death, and move forward bravely, the six countries in the world can not resist each other, so Qin has the world, and then, if the world is unified today, the world is the home, this set of invincible policies has actually become the shackles of the Qin people......"
As he spoke, Fan Chang got up, walked to the window, and looked at the twinkling stars outside, as if he was emotional, but also pity.
"The people of the Six Kingdoms, without military merits, without being promoted to the knighthood, will be excluded by the imperial court and cannot be reused, and the old Qin people, since then, the opportunity to obtain military merits will gradually become scarce, ordinary people, there is no promotion level, do you think such a court will last?"
Zhou Yin held the wine glass and walked to Fan Zeng's side.
"The imperial court has implemented the policy of imperial examinations......"
Fan Zeng shook his head.
"Daqin has been implementing the study of Legalism for more than 100 years, and the whole court is a disciple of Legalism, do you think that the imperial examination can reverse this pattern in a short period of time? Do you think that the followers of the Legalists will sit back and wait to be killed, willing to give up the authority in their hands? ”
Zhou Yin was dumbfounded.
Fan Zeng sighed.
"Now the first emperor is still here, the world is autocratic, the world is powerful, the people of the world, dare not resent, but the first emperor works all year round, will not be able to live long, now, with the sick and weak body, he can support a few years, once the mountain collapses, the world will be in chaos......"
Speaking of this, Fan Zeng gently patted Zhou Yin's shoulder.
"Although Xianyang is good, it is not a place to live for a long time......"
Zhou Yin held the wine glass and stopped talking, but after all, he didn't say anything more, but smiled and diverted the topic.
"Things in the future, let's do the things now, no matter what, what we are doing now still has some meaning - by the way, tomorrow, the emperor's eldest grandson may have to come over in person, do you want to meet ...... together"
"Old man......"
Fan Zeng just wanted to shake his head and refuse, so he listened to Zhou Yin's slow and methodical words.
It is said that the emperor's eldest grandson believed that it was better to give people fish than to give them fish, and that simple relief and food and clothing were not enough to change the situation of those poor people. In the past few years, he has taken the time to sort out several sets of ways to help those people become rich, and he is ready to show us in person, and he will personally seek our opinions at that time......"
Fan Zeng swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Okay—"
He was very curious, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who was not an immortal, could do anything to make that group of people so poor that they couldn't even eat to get rich.
I have already thought about it, and when the time comes, I won't say anything, just keep my mouth shut, just hide in the crowd, follow to see the excitement, and see for a long time.
Let's see if the eldest grandson of the emperor really has a way, or if he is talking big.
……
Zhao Ying didn't know that Fan Zeng was now in Xianyang, and he had also mixed into his charity hall, and was about to take a look at his catties, at this time, he was looking at the carefree life in front of him with interest.
"Say, what do you think......
