Jiangnan in March, the scenery is picturesque.

On the side of the road, a tea stall.

"Since nine years ago, the world has been in turmoil...... Now, it's finally too peaceful...... And the old men who manage the world today don't seem to be the same as before......"

An old farmer sighed.

Hearing this, in the tea shed, a scholar who was drinking tea stood up: "This is Taipingdao...... He didn't rule the world with the classics of the sages, but indulged in arithmetic, and the great sages and good teachers were really ......."

"Huh...... If you dare to be in the city, you will be imprisoned immediately! Suddenly, a young man in black next to him sneered.

"What? Am I wrong? The scholar blushed, as if he was unwilling, and shouted, "In all dynasties, the rulers of which dynasties did not rule the world with my Confucianism, so that the world can be peaceful!" What a crooked heresy is the way of arithmetic, how can it ascend to the court?! ”

"Heh, rule the world with Confucianism, and then what?" The black-clothed young man seemed to have a mockery on his face, "Then you scholars who keep saying that you are for the sake of righteousness began to play the classics behind your back, confusing right and wrong, and fighting for power and profit. ”

"Children and grandchildren, generation after generation, forming a big family, constantly encroaching on the interests of all beings in the world, forcing the dynasty to decline, and then a reincarnation?!"

"This!" The faces of the people in the tea shed changed.

This kind of change of dynasty is not to be talked about!

"You, you!" The soldier who had just spoken pointed to the young man in black, his fingers trembled, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"I also think that the current world is what we civilians yearn for." At the tea stall, a middle-aged man wearing a cloth coat but with a somewhat resolute look in his eyes suddenly sighed.

"Under the display of the associated Gu worms, the things we create are clearly marked, the output and consumption, there are clear figures, the more efforts we have, the more we get."

"If you want a richer life, as long as you work hard, you don't need any drilling, you don't need any favors, and you don't need any intrigue, as long as you create something valuable, upload information from Gu worms, you can get the benefits you deserve!"

Speaking of this, he had anger on his face and some emotion, as if he had been robbed of the credit for doing things before.

"That's right, I think the old men in charge now are at least better than before. In the past, when we paid taxes, we didn't know how much grain was produced in the field and how much was taken away, but we only knew that it was difficult for those who remained to survive. The old farmer on the side was silent for a moment, and then said.

"But now, we have been told how much food is produced, and only half of it is taken, and the other half, where it is consumed, what canals, roads, etc., we have been told, and this is at least different from before."

"I think so too. Although our family doesn't know what righteousness is, but in the current situation, the more we do, the more we take. The things that are handed in can also be used to build cities and roads, instead of going into the pockets of some officials, which I think is already very good. A martial arts person said the same.

"Yes! At least the food we grow will not become a certain master's tea money, and in the end it will not be enough, so we have to ask for it! ”

"I think so, too! At least our labor and dedication are the same, and it will return to us in the end, and that's enough! ”

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the tea shed.

In fact, for the people at the bottom of the mortal dynasty, what big truths do you want to tell him, he doesn't understand at all.

But if you want to tell him about the amount of grain you have to hand over, he is absolutely proficient, after all, this is a matter of self-interest and survival.

And such a comparison, you will find that this Taiping Dao rule is completely different from previous dynasties.

Not only will it tell you exactly how much tax you have to pay, but it will also show them where the taxes are going.

Without oppression and exploitation, the value of labor will eventually be fed back to oneself, so even if it is less than a year to pacify the world, it will almost make the people in the four seas return.

"You, you!" Looking at this scene, Shizi was speechless for a while.

"So, it's not that there is a problem with people's governance of the world at all, after all, Confucianism is also manifest today, and the next generation of great sages and good teachers is not also played by Xie Xuan, the son of Confucianism Xie Yu?"

"It's just that this position has no power, does not involve the distribution of interests, and does not give you guys who want to get something for nothing to take advantage of loopholes, so you guys will desperately oppose it, right?" The face of the young man in black showed a mocking look.

After hearing this, Shizi's face changed, he gritted his teeth, and finally didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly got up and left.

"Haha, this little brother is really kind words and courage...... Have a drink, please! ”

In the corner of the tea stall, a young Taoist suddenly got up, walked over with a smile, and filled a glass of wine for the young man in black.

The color of this wine is pure and blue, and the aroma of the wine is rich, which immediately made the eyes of the young man in black light up, drank a glass, and sighed with satisfaction: "Good wine, really good wine, Brother Tai has this fine wine, could it be that he is a person who is too learned?" ”

"Hehe, I see that the little brother's breath is condensed, and there are traces of immortal law on his body, can't he still enter Taixue?" The young Taoist asked rhetorically.

In the world governed by Taiping Dao, the more talented people are, the better they are treated.

The talents of Taiping Dao are not judged by the Confucian classics, but by the value of creation.

The more the theories you analyze and deduce can solve practical problems, and the more the technology you create can meet the needs of society, the more things you will gain in the allocation of resources in Taiping Dao.

In short, the greater the value of what you create in the development of the whole society, the more resources you are allotted!

In essence, the society created by Taiping Dao is not strictly speaking, where everyone is equal.

But the more you work hard and the more you create, the more you will naturally gain from the society!

As for Taixue, it is a place where people from all walks of life gather, gathers the entire world's witch doctors, musicians, and craftsmen who have practiced the law of Neidan!

"Alas, what you said, I, Xu, feel a little guilty." The young man in black scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed, "When I was young, I had fun, and I delayed a lot of cultivation, even with the guidance of my master, I still couldn't pass the big exam the year before last. ”

"Haha, it's okay, with Brother Tai's ability, I will definitely be able to take the exam next year." When the young Taoist heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

The young man in black hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked, "This little brother, do you know why the great sage and good teacher want to step down?" As far as I know, he is in the prime of life, and he has cultivated the method of Neidan, but he has been seen for a long time, why should he step down? ”

Lin Chen, the great sage and good teacher, is the most important and crucial existence in the world of Taiping Dao today.

He combined the humanistic methods of Confucianism with the original mathematics of Taiping Dao to create a society that took into account human nature and rationality, and developed to the current point, which can be said to be indispensable.

But now, he actually announced that he would step down from office, which couldn't help but make countless people feel puzzled and stunned.

"Nature is to explore, the outside world!" The young Taoist is authentic word by word.

"The world out there?! With endless snowfields to the northwest and endless oceans to the southeast, this world is so big, what is there to explore? The young man in black wondered.

"If you haven't really gone out, how can you say that heaven and earth are only so big? How is this different from sitting in a well and watching the sky? The young Taoist shook his head and smiled, "The study of empirical evidence is the only criterion for testing the truth." If you haven't tried it, how can you easily draw conclusions? ”

"That's right, but I'm on the waves." The black-clothed young man smiled bitterly, and then asked, "I just don't know when the great sage and good teacher will set off and where will he start?" ”

For this kind of existence that ended the imperial system, created a new society, and turned a new page in the history books, every word and deed is enough to go down in history.

And now, he is going to embark on an unknown journey for the sake of this world and open up a way forward, which is definitely a strong stroke in the history books, how can he miss it?

"After January, Hangu Mingguan, and now, it's time for me to go......"

The young Taoist got up, and the sound of the wind echoed around him, as if he was about to soar away in the next moment.

The young man in black was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he chased out of the tea shed: "You are a great sage and good teacher, a true immortal in the world?" ”

"This time, I will go out of Hangu Pass to explore the outside world, and I will preach the law of Neidan over the years to the world at this pass, and this is the last gift I left to you before I leave."

The young Taoist lingered, but his figure was gone.
