Chapter 170: Eternal changes, but people's hearts

"People's hearts?"

In the desolate ancient temple, the flames were constantly burning, and the changes in light and shadow illuminated Zhang Zhiping's uncertain face.

He listened carefully, frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, how can people say it?" ”

"The old gentleman is not right." Lin Chen shook his head and said directly, "Although there are different opinions, from my point of view, many changes in the world do not lie in interests, but in people's hearts. ”

"Why does this little friend have such an opinion?" When Zhang Zhiping heard this, his face became solemn.

"For a thing or a phenomenon, we can first hypothesize, deduce, and draw results, and then use past historical facts as verification." Lin Chen said lightly.

Hypothetical reasoning and result verification are also the methods he has adhered to since he crossed over.

"Then from the perspective of interests, assuming that the old man's changes can be implemented smoothly, then the excess land will be redivided, and the land that is barren and no one cultivates it will be turned into fertile rice fields under cultivation."

"With fertile rice fields and basic survival guarantees, the consumption of the whole society will increase again, and the dynasty, landlords, and government will collect more taxes and obtain more benefits."

"In the last years of the former Chu, there was a generation of prime ministers who promoted changes similar to this law and obtained a lot of benefits, the upper class was able to benefit, and the lower class was able to survive, which delayed the decline of Great Chu in one fell swoop and increased the national glory for 30 years."

"From the above inferences and the results verified by historical facts, it is not difficult for us to see that as long as the social wealth flows down from the top and opens up a little channel, then the lifespan of the entire dynasty will be greatly increased, and those dignitaries and dignitaries will also earn more."

"You only need to drink one less glass and buy less money for a so-called vassal and elegant cultural relic, and you can earn more, this kind of truth has been verified by history, doesn't anyone understand?"

"The variable law is still blocked, and the gainers are still unwilling to give up the small profits in front of them, I don't understand it, I just don't want to do it."

"So I think the key is not about profits, but about people's hearts. Otherwise, no matter how well you do the law change, no matter how much profit you make, there will be no reasonable distribution. ”

“…… Xiaoyou seems to have some truth in what he said. ”

Zhang Zhiping pondered for a moment, said thoughtfully, and then asked about another thing.

"First assume that things are successful, deduce the results, and then use historical facts as verification, and finally draw conclusions to analyze the reasons...... Xiaoyou, your statement is unheard of in the history books. ”

"Haha, that's a set of methodologies created by some ancient sages in our hometown, and I'm just applying it." Lin Chen said with a slight smile on his face.

"I really want to read the words of these sages in order to find a way to save the world." Zhang Zhiping sighed lightly, as if he had thought of something, and said coldly, "But in the end, it's not a group of people with interests?!" ”

"It's not so much about profit as it is about people's desires."

Lin Chen's face was expressionless, and he said lightly.

"At the beginning, I solved the problem of food and clothing, then I wanted to have a wife, and then I wanted to be a big official, after I got the right to sit on the world, I wanted to live forever, and after I got immortality, I wanted to ......"

Immediately, Lin Chen said with some emotion: "Actually, it's not wrong to think so. Everyone has the right to aspire to a better life, and they have their own things to pursue, and what they get by their own efforts is nothing. ”

"But some people like to get something for nothing, be opportunistic, and enjoy the thrill of riding on someone else's head."

"To put it simply, I can't see the good life of others, and I feel that the good life of others is worse than killing myself, so I squeeze it at any cost."

"I knew that it was wrong to do this, and I knew that it would hurt my own interests in the end, but I did it anyway, why?"

"In the final analysis, it's not about enjoying the thrill of conquering others to satisfy the dark side of the heart, so I said that interests are not the factors that affect them, but people's hearts are the key to world changes."

Zhang Zhiping pondered carefully for a while, and then continued: "But they seem to be trying to protect their own interests and their status, which seems to have nothing to do with people's hearts. ”

"Since the old gentleman doesn't believe it, we can give a counter-example, if the whole world is based on interests, then why does the old gentleman want to promote the change of the law and ask for the people's lives?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"This ...... I am for the sake of the world. Zhang Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"And what benefit can the old gentleman get?" Lin Chen continued to ask.

"I ......" Zhang Zhiping was stunned by the question.

Because he did this, he just wanted to do it, and he didn't think about any interests at all.

"No matter where it is, no matter what nationality it is in its history, there are people who work hard, people who work hard, people who ask for their lives for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives to seek the law...... Even the vast history often cannot hide their brilliance, they are the backbone of civilization. ”

"Sir, do you think that such a person is doing this for the sake of profit?"

Zhang Zhiping opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a long time, and only after half a sound did he sigh softly: "No." ”

"Then these have nothing to do with interests, and they have nothing to do with life and death, but are just done for the blood in their hearts, so is the reason for this change lies in people's hearts being good?"

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly and continued:

"Therefore, the thousands of changes in this red dust are closely related to people's hearts."

"Slippery, treacherous, sinister and vicious, rat-hearted and wolf-hearted people are evil-minded, bright and majestic, worried about the world, and brave and loyal by nature."

"Of course, it is more of an ordinary person who is mixed with these two sides, because of the different times and circumstances, so that they are both good and evil, good and evil."

"The good and evil of people's hearts, and the vacillation between the two, have there been sages who have abandoned everything for the country and the people, traitors who have harmed others and self-destruction, and villains who dare to fight against fate at critical moments...... All of this has made up a vast history. ”

"That's why I said, the eternal changes are not the people's hearts!"

"Hypothetical inference, find out counterexamples, do you have to prove that the change in the world lies in the hearts of the people......" Thinking about it, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's eyes moved, and the already chaotic thoughts in his mind gradually became clear.

Lin Chen appeared and said these words, naturally it was not unintentional, nor was it casual talk.

Instead, after this period of observation, as well as in the constant conversation just now, Lin Chen gradually discovered that whether it was the decaying and backward mortal dynasty, or the immortal cultivation underworld that he had crossed over.

In essence, they are already ossified.

Not to mention ten years, I'm afraid that there will be no changes for thousands of years, but the life span of the monk is long, and it is only for a while that he cannot see clearly.

Blindly eating the weak and the strong, blindly imitating the ancients, so that they can't get out of their inherent thinking and blindly stand still.

When encountering danger, it is more likely to stand still, rest on one's laurels, and finally perish oneself rather than embark on a path.

Just like a person, a person with agile thinking and the ability to innovate will explode under high pressure.

And a person who has a fixed mind and only cares about pleasure will only perish in silence.

This is also the reason why Lin Chen has been experimenting for so long, why he has been unwilling to force the world and set off a catastrophe.

Because there is no internal drive, only external pressure, innovation, which is almost impossible, will only perish.

Therefore, Lin Chen must inject new vitality into the thoughts of the heroes in this dynasty.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Chen suddenly recalled his previous life, in the history of 5,000 years, the most dangerous moment for the nation, it was the countless ancestors who risked their lives to cross the ocean and bring back the seeds of new ideas, so that they could reopen a new sky, otherwise they would only sink.

And now, with this kind of thought, he has traveled through this world and developed something that has never existed in the Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World, is this a kind of transmission and inheritance?

The thinking created by this kind of thinking is the most essential thing for us to traverse! ”

"In the past, I was weak and had to change into a gentleman and adapt to this cruel world. Now that I am slowly becoming stronger, while practicing the Jindan path, will I also affect the world because of this? ’

Lin Chen vaguely felt that to spread the Inner Dan Martial Dao, it was not only necessary to have technology, but also to have ideas that could be improved and innovated, only in this way could we truly spread the Tao to the world and walk out of a road to heaven!
