Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 134 Human nature is good and evil, cause and effect form a loop
In the small courtyard of the Gu family, it was ordinary, and spring went and autumn came again.

The blazing heat of summer seems to have just passed, and the bleak autumn wind has fallen on the world.

Countless people on the land are busy on such days, and the increasingly fierce war will slow down a little bit every time this season comes.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and no one can really eat the grain. If there is no food, they will starve to death.

From the princes and generals to the common people, they all know the importance of this season.

But this year is destined not to have a good harvest, and this is the case in the whole world of Da Yue.

Yuzhou, which was supposed to produce the most grain, has been caught in a war that has lasted for more than a year. The members of the White Lotus Sect are still fighting and seeing each other with the people of the court.

Although the White Lotus Sect has faintly begun to look a little unable to resist, and began to retreat a little, but the land of Yuzhou is vast and vast, so it is half a dozen and half retreating like this, and it will not be able to pay off in another three to five years.

As for Huang Chao and Huang Tianjun, they have always insisted on carrying out the appearance of a gang of powerful bandits. It is true that they rob less of the poor, and the big ones really don't let anyone go!
Even the blood relatives of those big families who were identified within three generations were slaughtered without leaving any, and the murderous intent went straight to the sky.

However, Yangzhou is sandwiched between Yuzhou and Yuzhou, and those wealthy households living in Yangzhou can be said to be unlucky.

Running south and bumping into the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, he will surely die!
Running to the north, I met the members of the White Lotus Sect, and life was worse than death.

Stay where you are and don't run away, Huang Chao is still here, and the whole family will be killed!

Dilemma and feeling like sitting on pins and needles, this is the mood of those big families in Yangzhou.

Of course, if they were truly willing to spend all their wealth and join the Huang Tian Army, it was not impossible for Huang Chao to make an exception.

Only those big households who resisted stubbornly and even spent money to recruit troops to support the court or try to resist would be so merciless.

Unfortunately, almost all big families refused to bow to him.

Then there is nothing to say.

kill!

In the past two years of being hunted down by the imperial court, the number of Huang Tianjun not only did not decrease, but increased.

Even the naked eye can know that more people will join them soon.

Because most of Yuzhou has fallen!
From the 37th year of Zongming to the autumn of the second year of Kangjing, it took a full three years for the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to capture Yuzhou.

This kind of speed, whether compared with Huang Chao or Bailian, seems to be very disappointing.

In fact, it cannot be counted that way.

The Allied Forces of the Four Nations came here for the massacre, and even slaughtered several cities just after entering Yuzhou. Although their original intention was to warn the subsequent cities to give up resistance, if they did not resist, they would not massacre the city.

But before they yelled this sentence, Mo Qiu led three thousand Mohists and slaughtered the culprit directly.

They were the ones who were supposed to exert pressure, but they became the ones who were pressured!
This incident made Moqiu's reputation as a saint in the world, and at the same time, it also aroused the common hatred of the people of Yuzhou!
Because defeat is death!
However, no matter how much Huang Chao and the Bailian leader make trouble, they are mostly fighting against the government and coercing the people. If they insist on ordering the people to be deliberately tortured and slaughtered, there really is no such thing, at most they only force some people to death.

Ordinary people can join them with a hoe and become a part of them directly. Everyone has soil to eat soil and meat to eat meat, and they can live every day.

What about the Allied Forces of the Four Nations?
Killing, burning, and looting are all ignored, and people refuse to accept it.

Even if someone wants to join, they can't find a way!
In this way, how can the common people not fight with them?

That's not to mention, Mo Qiu, who was wanted by Dayue, even led the Mohists to defend the city. The key is that the Mohists really know how to defend the city!
To be precise, when it comes to defending the city, no one in this era has studied it more deeply than the Mohists. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Mohist represents the highest level of city defense at this time.

Don't think that the people of the Mohist school are the type of saints who hold "I will never hurt you if I treat you well".

On the contrary, since the founding of Mohism, what Mo Qiu said has always been: Promoting the benefits of the world and eliminating the harm of the world!
For this goal, it is natural to choose the greatest benefit and the least harm!

Keeping the city is big, and the individual is small.

Mohism is definitely not only able to reason, but also to hold up a knife.

Once the Mozhe's order to defend the city is implemented, anyone who does not obey or overstep will be beheaded by the Mozhe himself.

There was a friend of the Mohist who wanted to go to rescue because the city was on fire, so he left from the place he needed to guard, but was shot and killed by the Mohist with a bow and arrow, even though he knew he had good intentions.

This is the Mohist style.

It is too one-sided to simply regard Mohist as a saint, an ascetic, or a good person.

This is a group of people who are not afraid of death for their ideals.

Among them, they are not afraid of death, not only including themselves.

Before many people become Mohists, they can't be called good people in the worldly sense!

But no matter how powerful the Mo family defended the city, they only defended it, and they could only withdraw if they couldn't stop it.

Forcibly dragging the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms in Yuzhou for three years, the Mo family has already contributed a lot to the world of this big moon. The Mo students who followed Mo Qiu have changed several rounds in three years, and they really can't ask for more.

Facing the increasingly corrupt situation, the temple is also very difficult to manage.

The most important thing is that Emperor Kang Jing's first batch of crime money collected has already been spent!

However, there is no silver in the treasury!
How to do it?

Another criminal case?

Emperor Kang Jing did not dare to do this.

In order to save money, Emperor Kang Jing, who really couldn't find a better way, chose to give up Yuzhou for the time being, leaving some people to pursue Huang Tianjun for the time being, and most of the remaining people went all out to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect!

The price of grain in Da Yue has risen to the price of winter in autumn. This is the season of autumn harvest!
If Yuzhou is not settled quickly, no one will dare to give a clear answer to what shocking level the food price will soar after the winter.

Since Zongming Zongming, the ancestors were unknown, another sentence has begun to spread quietly.

Kang Jing, Kang Jing, No Kang, No Jing!
It is extremely disappointing that internal troubles cannot be overcome, and external troubles cannot be stopped.

The situation is gradually collapsing.

Autumn is over, and the cold winter is coming again!
When the icy and cool snowflakes began to fall from the sky to the earth, there were not many people who could lament that the auspicious snow heralds a good year.

More are hungry people shivering from the cold with pale faces.

Gu's small courtyard.

There are occasional cheers in the yard.

Xiaoying was making a snowman in the yard, her hands and feet were red with cold.

Xun Ke stared at the sky blankly, his eyes were blank, and his mind was wandering into the sky.

He has been teaching Cang for nearly half a year.

Half a year of teaching can't be said to have little effect, it can only be said to be useless.

Except for making Cang recognize some characters, everything else is basically in vain. It is normal for the left ear to go in and the right ear to go out.

And now there is a seemingly simplest problem in front of him.

Since we want to teach children, we cannot avoid talking about people.

So the question is, how to teach?

Is human nature good or evil?

There is a good way to be good, and there are benefits to evil.

The education received by the vast majority of people in this world is to say that "human nature is inherently good", which is also the most acceptable statement for everyone.

But if human nature is inherently good, why did the situation in Da Yue come to this point?

This is completely unreasonable!
If it weren't for the endless evil thoughts, how could there be such a situation?
Master Mo once expressed his own opinion, he is considered a centrist, and he still agrees with it.

[Zimozi said that when he saw someone dyed silk, he sighed and said: If you dye it in green, you will be green; if you dye it in yellow, you will be yellow.What enters changes, and its color also changes. Five inputs are necessary, but what is left is five colors!Therefore, dyeing must not be careless!It is not only dyed with silk, but the country is also dyed.]

To put it simply, human nature has no shape, and what it is infected with is what it is.

When there are many evil people in contact, it is easy to do evil; when there are good people in contact, it is naturally willing to do good.Not only people, but even countries!

Moshi emphasized that the good and evil of human nature are not static, but may change from moment to moment.

This is of course a good answer. The only problem is that this answer requires a certain degree of understanding of the world, and more importantly, a relatively objective attitude towards world affairs.

But teaching a three-year-old child with Mo Shi's words seems too profound.

It is impossible for children to really understand, even understand, let alone use it for enlightenment learning?

Others didn't know that Xun Ke was racking his brains on such a problem.

Whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil, once the conclusion is made, it can hardly be changed, and all teaching plans must be carried out around the same theme.

Between good and evil, there is no room for compromise.

As for the delicate dust in the middle, it is not a problem that the newly enlightened children need to consider.

Xun Ke stretched out his hand and kept writing lines of words on the snow.

The advantage of the theory of the goodness of nature is that it can lead to conscience. Everyone has four hearts—the heart of compassion, the heart of shame, the heart of respect, and the heart of right and wrong.

But people are clearly born to love profit, born to lust, and born to have evil!

Da Yue's current world is the best way to describe it.

He simply nodded and acknowledged the theory of good nature, and when Cang grows up a bit, and actually walks out of the small yard to see what it looks like outside, will he ask him: 'Since everyone is a good person, why did it become like this?Human nature is good, isn't it? '

At that time, how should I tell Cang?

If the initial point of view cannot stand, all subsequent knowledge will become a piece of waste paper, empty talk.

If you can't even convince yourself, how dare you use this knowledge to measure the morality of the world, so that thousands of generations can learn and think from it?
This view may seem trivial, but a choice.

In fact, the impression will be extremely profound, so profound that Xun Ke was unable to make a conclusion for a long time.

In other words, dare not draw conclusions.

Xun Ke hesitated for a long time like this, and suddenly remembered that Cang hadn't studied with him today.

Then he stretched out his hand to wipe off the handwriting on the snow in front of him, and looked around the yard. Xun Ke asked Xiaoying, who was still in the yard with a pile of snowmen, "Where is Cang? Where did he go?"

Xiaoying was looking at a big snowman she had built, when she heard Xun Ke's question, she said casually, "Cang took the book and went out."

The snowman that Xiaoying has built in front of her is much taller than her. Although it is made of snow, it is brought to life by a pair of skillful hands. It vaguely looks like Gu Dan, but she is not quite satisfy.

Uncle Gu looks so good-looking, why can't Xuexue change into that?

Moreover, Uncle Gu always likes to wear a green robe. Green leaves in winter are hard to find. If you really put a robe on a snowman, you will be beaten by your mother, right?
After all, my mother said that many people don't even have clothes to wear, so she must lead by example and not waste.

If you really put a robe on the snowman, will your mother chop her off?

That won't work!

"Cang went out with the book? What is he going to do?!"

Xun Ke raised his voice suddenly, and shouted in disbelief.

What a joke, that little bastard learns characters from him for an hour every day and is so noisy, how could he like reading?
"It seems that I went to play with the little girl from the aunt's house next door? Children, I have to find a playmate."

Xiaoying is still looking at her new snow sculpture, ready to surprise Gu Dan when she comes back, "Quickly see if the snowman I made looks like Uncle Gu?"

Xun Ke glanced at it and nodded slightly, "It does look a bit like it."

"What do you mean a bit like? Very similar, okay? It's just that the face can't be done well, it's not as good-looking as Uncle Gu." Xiaoying tilted her head and thought.

"How can a dead thing compare to a living person?"

Xun Ke said worriedly: "How about I go and look for Cang? I really can't imagine what that little guy is going to do when he goes out with a book in his arms!"

"Oh, why do you look like an old woman? Cang just go out to play, staying in the yard all the time is either a disaster for the flowers I raise, or pestering you to tell stories. It's cleaner to go out." Xiaoying impatiently waved his hands.

The three-year-old little kid is really annoying. He no longer has the cuteness of letting others play with him when he was a child, and has a bit more mischievous nature. Occasionally, a sudden whim can cause them some unexpected troubles.

Obviously he is still short-legged, but he can't rest at all, running around, I really don't know where the energy comes from.

Last time, on a whim, she planned to take care of Cang to appease her sudden maternity brilliance, but she was exhausted after taking care of him for a long time.

It was she who tried her best to find a playmate for Cang——little guy, go out and make trouble for others, don't worry about demolishing your small courtyard!

For Cang's willingness to go out to harm others, she agreed with both hands and feet.

However, the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.

As soon as she finished speaking, the small courtyard door was pushed open.

A little guy walked in, and immediately fell in love with the snow sculpture that Xiaoying had just piled up.

"Wow!"

Cang shouted excitedly, and ran over quickly with short legs, "Sister, did you do this? It's so tall and powerful!"

"Yes! Does it look like Uncle Gu?"

Seeing Cang so appreciative, Xiaoying also smiled and said proudly.

What answered her was Cang's small black hand that suddenly patted Xue Ying.

Two small black palm prints were just imprinted on the pure white snow sculpture.

"Hey, now I have a share too!"

Cang shouted happily.

"Sigh~"

Seeing this scene, Xun Ke couldn't help but gasped.

How dare you? !
"Cang!!!"

There are no surprises.

A roar resounded through the sky.

When Gu Dan opened the courtyard door and walked in, he saw Cang lying on Xun Ke's lap, crying hoarsely.

Xiaoying clenched her teeth, held a book in her hand, and slapped Cang's little butt viciously.

"You two are this?"

Gu Dan was surprised, how did this start to match men and women?

"Uncle Gu, come here and beat him up!"

Xiaoying was very angry, "Such a little guy started eating inside and out, today I must beat him to death!"

Gu Dan raised his brows slightly, and asked in doubt, "Eat the inside out?"

"He took Xun Ke's book and burned it for others, saying he wanted to keep them warm!" Xiaoying said through gritted teeth.
