Chapter 52: The Monk's Path

Since the dismissal of Kong Qiu, the Emperor of Heaven has been depressed for the past few days.

With the previous tolerance of the monks, what happened this time seriously made the Emperor feel that the hierarchy was flattening.

In order to inquire about the specific reason, the Emperor of Heaven called Ying Zheng over again.

The Emperor of Heaven said: The hierarchy is currently in a vague stage, and the hierarchy is difficult to distinguish. A small hole can shake the idea of the monk, who is currently in an era of withering and disillusionment.

After listening to this, Ying Zheng recalled the stage when he had examined the monks before. After pondering for a while, he replied reasonably: At present, the monks of five hundred years are quite rare at this stage.

There were some things that Ying Zheng didn't dare to say, and his heart suddenly turned sideways, but Ying Zheng still said it.

Ying Zheng: Five hundred years of monks is already the current limit level. Kongqiu, in particular, has been famous since he was a child. The level of the master far surpassed that of other monks, and the hierarchy still had to be completed by secular monks.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he saw that the master was silent.

After waiting for a while, the Heavenly Emperor sighed: "Monks are so rare, what else do we use to divide the class? Now that the few monks are planned to be ordinary people, I don't think there is any problem.

The Emperor of Heaven finished his sentence halfway, with a slight melancholy of inhalation.

After a while, the Emperor seemed to ease his emotions.

The Emperor continued: "You may not be able to get the life that the monks want for a long time, and if this continues, many monks will seek future power for ordinary people.

After listening to Yingzheng, he didn't say much, and said lightly: Monks don't need traitors.

- With Confucius returning with his arm severed, many people came to inquire about the reason.

When people didn't know the specific situation, they gave gifts one after another, hoping that Kong Qiu's mood would be eased.

Although Kong Qiu did not express the reason for the broken arm, many people still speculated that with Kong Qiu's identity and strength, except for a few people who were thinking about riots, it was impossible to hurt him.

People were suspicious, and they didn't think badly, but thought that Kongqiu had blocked the butcher's knives of the rioters for the other monks.

——Zhao Gao went to the place of the Confucian family to take a look, and saw the crowd surging in front of the Confucian family, like a school of fish rushing through the stream. Zhao Gao dressed up in disguise, shook his body from the fish, and went straight away.

Kong Qiu saw that Zhao Gao came to see him, and while he was moved, he did not forget his original intention and quipped: Since he broke his arm, his life is a little inconvenient now, and he found that the previous world was quite perfect.

Zhao Gao: If you weren't a monk of the Seven Kingdoms~ died early, and what you said at that time made me tremble.

Zhao Gao thought for a while, paused, and said: Master rarely directly hurts others, especially when you break your arm, I thought that in the next moment, your head would fall to the ground.

Kongqiu: I just want to fight for the people of the seven countries for a future life, and I am also an ordinary person.

Zhao Gao: I don't know what to do, it's all like this, you still don't know how to repent!

Hearing his friend criticize him so bluntly, Kong Qiu said of his bitterness: Hey~ Since the Emperor of Heaven did not accept apprentices, I feel that the original efforts and the good life I expected have been shattered, and I just want to do what I like in peace, and I don't have the lofty ambitions of monks.

After listening to this, Zhao Gao said with a little embarrassment: We are still sticking to the path of the monk, and only in this way can we have a better tomorrow. Otherwise, don't live now to think and think, and would rather perish now.

Seeing Kong Qiu's unrepentant thoughts, Zhao Gao also knew that saying anything would not help.

So he briefly talked about his views on the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms, and warned Kong Qiu not to forget the ordinary people in the "Four Different Lands".

Zhao Gao said: Once upon a time, there was an ordinary person from the Seven Kingdoms, when he was farming, he saw the wheat ears of the people around him, and there was a particularly large and fruitful existence.

So the man bought the special ear of wheat plant and brought it home, and after bringing back this special plant, he first kept half of the ear of seed, and the rest of the ear of wheat mixed with the ordinary plant was tasted.

As a result, the taste of this ear of wheat is obscure. When you taste it carefully, it has a much different taste than ordinary ears of wheat. Under ordinary swallowing, the taste of this particular ear of wheat is still difficult to distinguish.

As an ingredient in auxiliary dishes, this situation, in some remote areas of the untouchables, this ingredient of the ears of wheat is clearly acceptable.

So this ordinary person, together with some small scholars, bred and cultivated the ears of wheat from this special plant alone, and sold them to the untouchables in the "Four Different Lands".

There is not much difference between the price of these special ears of wheat and ordinary ears of wheat. Some untouchables still can't afford it, but let the scholars in the "Four Different Lands" take advantage of the loopholes.

The scholars of the "Four Strange Lands" joined forces with their ordinary people to plant these ears of wheat on a large scale. As a result, with the prolific and ordinary people in the "Four Different Lands", the psychology of being greedy for small and cheap people made huge profits.

The scholars of the Seven Kingdoms saw that the scholars of the "Four Different Lands" had made a lot of money, so they also moved their minds.

The gentry of the Seven Kingdoms, together with the peasant households, promoted this relief food, which was originally intended to be eaten by the untouchables.

So in just a few years, with the lowly thinking of ordinary people, this kind of high-yield wheat ears that can bring profits to farmers instantly spread throughout the seven countries.

As a result, the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms were economically rich and obviously rich, but they could not buy ordinary grain from before.

Ears of wheat are a low-priced ingredient in the Seven Kingdoms, but they are a must-have ingredient every day.

This situation was far beyond the imagination of the Shi clan, and in an instant, the high-yield wheat ears of the Seven Kingdoms were promoted, and they bit the life veins of the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms like maggots on tarsal bones.

This kind of wheat was originally prepared for the untouchables who could not afford to eat, but because of the huge profits seen in the "Four Different Lands", it was sold to the Seven Kingdoms.

Some people in the Seven Kingdoms have already experienced the poor taste and essence of this ear of wheat, but because they are accompanied by other dishes, they ignore this problem.

As time passed, the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms had the money to buy the ordinary food they used to have, and the monks and the monks never ate the rations of the masses.

This situation gradually spread, because the monks did not have a good relationship with the food of the Tushi clan and the common people, and this high-yield grain of wheat ears was not controlled and stopped.

Or does the heavens feel it, or does the "mandate of heaven" that the emperor said really exist?

High-end monk ~ Du Fu, because he is not very prejudiced against civilians, once traveled to an ordinary person's restaurant and tasted this kind of ration.

This incident was finally exposed, and later this incident was called: The Rice and Grain Change.

Because of Du Fu's participation, this food accident was brought under due control.

Even because it was a matter that affected the Seven Kingdoms, the Emperor of Heaven also paid attention to it.

Among them, the ordinary person who promoted food with the Shi clan was imprisoned by the order of the Emperor himself, and for two reasons this ordinary person was not killed.

First: This ordinary person is a man of the Seven Kingdoms.

Second: This incident mainly affected ordinary people.

At the same time, Du Fu was also taught a lesson by the Emperor of Heaven, because Du Fu did not go to the best treasures, but ran to make do with the civilians.

If this incident really affects high-end monks, the ordinary person who promotes high production will definitely die.

I can only blame Du Fu for being troublesome, and I hit the trouble myself, but fortunately, the food is almost there, and it's okay to eat it once, and it's not like ordinary people, eating these junk foods every day.

This incident mainly affected the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms, and the food eaten by the scholars and monks of the Seven Kingdoms was different from that of ordinary people.

It's just that ordinary people in the "Four Different Lands" have been eating high-yield junk food.

After listening to Zhao Gao's previous "Rice and Grain Change" incident, Kong Qiu smiled lightly: The little scholar clan has a bad heart.

Zhao Gao quipped: Don't be that bad monk, the monk's path must be established in order to be implemented.

Zhao Gao: Just like the "change of rice and grain", we monks have little influence. Our righteousness and morality are only prevalent among monks.

Zhao Gao: Master said that the meaning of monk is the combination of a monk and a scholar. Only benevolence, righteousness and morality are our weapons above ordinary people, don't let me kill you.
