Liu Yu's mind was filled with thoughts, and he said solemnly: "No, that's not the case. People do have their short-sightedness and greed, but isn't it because of the lack of education that they don't quite understand? Is it true that only a country has a family? As long as we can popularize education, let the people have the word loyalty in their hearts, and know that a strong country, unifying the world can give them eternal happiness and peace, and let them know the truth that the family and the country are one. , naturally the situation you mentioned will not happen."
Xie Xuan sneered and said: "Human greed and selfishness are innate. This is human nature. You cannot change it through education. You said that the people have not received enough education. Well, let me ask these children of aristocratic families who have read poetry and books, Don't they understand things and their country? Xi Chao, Wang Ningzhi, Wang Xun, these mafia giants, all of them are not rich in knowledge and talents. How can they not understand these principles of loyalty, filial piety, justice and justice? But in the end, Aren't you ruining national affairs for your own selfish interests? Even if you make the world full of cowards and every child of the common people can go to school, will this situation be changed?"
Wang Miaoyin suddenly said: "Brother Yu, in the world and era you came to, could it be possible to change the selfishness deep in human nature by letting everyone read and read?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, the world I came to can do this, because everyone's medical care, nutrition, education, and even the education of three-year-old children come from the state. Burden, our country is called the People's Republic, and the rulers must serve the people, rather than having the people serve them in turn. In our world, officials are called servants of the people, and every common person, whether rich or poor, they All children can enjoy various rights stipulated by the state, and the most obvious one is compulsory education and medical care."
Xie Xuan curled his lips disapprovingly: "There is nothing surprising about this. Since ancient times, we have also taught various teachings about farming and mulberry cultivation, and we also train ordinary farmers in the ways of farming. However, as civilians in military households, they have been trained since childhood. You must also learn the skills of fighting. Just like you Liu Yu, haven’t you people in Jingkou received military training from veterans since childhood? Didn’t your skills be learned by the warriors in Jingkou? And our Xie family’s In the manor, the farming skills of all the tenant farmers were taught by the farmers and old farmers we sent, so what’s the difference between what you said?”
Liu Yu shook his head: "The difference is huge, because in our world, the benefits we receive, from education to medical care, to employment, these skills are taught free of charge and voluntarily by the state. It can be said that our country provides These are our basic survival skills."
"Once we, ordinary people, become adults and graduate from various schools, we will engage in jobs in different industries based on the skills we have learned. And part of the remuneration we receive from our labor and work must be allocated as taxes and paid to Only in this way can the country be rich enough to provide various benefits and benefits to the people. Only in this way can the unity of the family and the country be realized, and the rights and obligations between each citizen and the country be realized."
"But in this era, the aristocratic families and the lower-level villagers and landlords control the grassroots. In these grassroots villages, the people and tenant farmers in the manors are dependent on the aristocratic families, not the country. Even In your demographics, you can directly make them disappear completely through Bai Ji, and become slaves of your noble families for generations, rather than citizens of the country. Through layers of hierarchies, you have ruled and enslaved thousands of people for generations. Thousands of common people, let them become your tools for getting something for nothing, just like cattle and horses. How can such a world get the support of the common people and tenants? Isn't it natural that they are unwilling to serve such a court? "
Xie Xuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "No matter what you say, I don't believe that there will be any ruler who is willing to voluntarily give up the power in his hands, give up the power passed on to his descendants, and rule for generations, to please these common people. .”
Wang Miaoyin suddenly said: "Uncle Xuan, I think it is not impossible. Just like in the world, there will always be those sages who do not consider themselves and only serve others, such as Confucius, Buddha, and even the Duke of Zhou, no matter what Are all the sages who have opened up the world to be famous in this way? What you pursue wholeheartedly is to cultivate immortality and achieve Taoism. However, although they are dead, their good names are recorded in the annals of history and passed down through the ages. Wouldn't it be better?"
Xie Xuan sneered and said: "Dead is dead, just like a lamp going out, so what if you leave a false name. Since ancient times, there are many mortals who have cultivated immortality and become immortals, such as Sanqing, Laozi, and Tianshi. They have all succeeded, haven't they also left a good name for eternity? What's wrong with us wanting to follow their old path? It is impossible for everyone in this world to become immortals and gods, otherwise wouldn't it be chaos? Liu Yu, I don’t want to talk so much nonsense to you. If you want to achieve your ideal of equality for everyone, I will not stop you, but you should not interfere with our path to immortality."
Liu Yu shook his head: "If you hide to cultivate immortality and don't bring trouble to the world, I will naturally be too lazy to be your enemy. But the current situation is not like this. You have provoked wars and brought trouble to the world again and again. , even now, you are still manipulating and controlling the demon thief of Tianshi Dao, besieging Jiankang, trying to overthrow the Jin Dynasty, and completely plunge the south into war, who is interfering with whom?"
Xie Xuan curled his lips: "All I have done is actually to let you go to the north and learn from Zu Ti to fight against the barbarians, but not to interfere with us in the south. The Jin Dynasty has been formed for more than a hundred years. Order, our cultivator asked, cannot be achieved by hiding in the mountains. Various alchemy tests require a lot of manpower and material resources. This cannot be solved by chanting sutras by ourselves. We have to hide in the dark. , but we need to use secular organizations and power to help us find the things we want, whether it is medicinal materials or manpower!"
Liu Yu frowned: "Many people from high-ranking families have sent their children to Taoist temples or Buddhist temples. Could it be that they have joined your Tiandao Alliance since they were young?"
Xie Xuan said calmly: "To join the Divine Alliance, you don't just have to rely on power in the world. It depends on whether he has wisdom and understanding. If he has been passionate about power, beauty, wealth and so on since he was a child, we will not look at it. Just like me, I have been indifferent since childhood and was not keen on fame and fortune. Instead, I fell into the eyes of my husband. And he himself lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years and did not come out of the mountains until he was forty years old. Only then did he become a cloak. Xiaoyu, you are the most suitable person to inherit the position of my cloak, I am looking for you today, I want to cooperate with you, and the inheritance will be yours!"
