Ask Sword

The world is changeable, but human nature is hard to change.

Jianquan said calmly: Before you are born, you need to join the WTO. I have traveled around the world for decades, and I have seen people and things from all walks of life. For more than half a year, the country of Yu has been prosperous due to the construction of the railway.

There was a shortage of money in various places, and the speed at which copper coins were minted could not keep up with the speed at which people spent them. Therefore, the imperial court approved the production of more banknotes and flying coins.

This has brought about new problems. The wealth of the people has changed from one to two. It seems that life is richer.

However, the wealth of those aristocratic families and business houses expanded rapidly by the east wind of the railway, from ten to one hundred. In the future, it will become one thousand, tens of thousands.

Jianquan paused for a moment and said: The control and possession of the common people by the clans and firms will inevitably become more direct and profound with the passage of time.

Look at the laborers, child laborers, and female workers in the workshops along the railway line. Their living conditions are not much better than those of the tenant farmers before.

The tenant farmers can at least keep half of the food, but now eight or nine tenths of the wealth produced by labor is taken away by the workshop owners.

The owner of the workshop is unscrupulous and unscrupulous.

Is this normal? In other words, is this in line with the original intention of the inventor of the railway, that is, your academy?

Without waiting for Li Ang to answer, Jianquan continued: Yes, the academy strictly abides by morality, and it is true that it is its mission to help the world. But looking at the past three hundred years, the overall moral standards of the academy depend to a large extent on the The mountain is long.

The previous mountain chief, Chou Zhibai, believed in governance by doing nothing and was unwilling to interfere in the government. That's why Empress Wu was able to rise to power, and pursued and killed Li Yu's clan without worrying about the intervention of the Academy.

The current head of the mountain, Lian Xuanxiao, is actively involved in the WTO, so Xue Gongcai and Li Yu's royal family seem to be very close.

I believe that your morality is noble, but birth, old age, sickness and death are common sense in the world, and even great practitioners in the abyss cannot escape.

Can you really guarantee that after you have invented each technology, after your death, every generation of academics will always stand up and stand in front of the people who need help the most?

.

Li Ang responded silently. He had read the school history of the academy and experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Among the students of the academy in the early Yu period, the ratio of the aristocratic to the poor was two to eight.

But now, among the students in the academy, the ratio of those born in aristocratic families to those born in poor families has become close to seven to three.

This is an indisputable fact. Li Ang himself has many friends from aristocratic families. They follow the moral standards of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and have various virtues such as humility, bravery and self-confidence, and willingness to help others.

But after all, they are not born at the bottom, and they cannot see or imagine the life at the bottom.

So much so that sometimes there are naive sayings like why not eat minced meat-this is ironic, and what's even more ironic is that they are the group of people who will control the direction of Yu State in the future.

Nobility breeds ignorance, and ignorance breeds cruelty.

Deep in your heart, you know I'm right.

Jianquan stands on the lotus platform, receiving the guards of Bodhisattvas and Arhats, surrounded by brilliant golden light,

Like a real Buddha, he looked at the complicated expression on Li Ang's face from a distance, and said calmly: Even the most lofty ideals will lose to the most despicable human desires. This is the power of the world of mortals, which is far beyond human power. Can compete.

.Maybe.

Li Ang sighed, It would be great if your Six Paths of Reincarnation illusion wasn't a black box.

It's the black box that makes things interesting. Isn't it?

Jianquan said lightly: Your answer is

.

Li Ang was silent for a long time, and finally said: Let's play a game.

What?

Jianquan frowned, wondering if he heard it wrong. The golden light of the Buddha's voice around him stopped for a moment, and all the bodhisattvas and arhats also looked at Li Ang with disbelief.

I said, let's play a game.

Li Ang twisted his wrist, and said seriously: I know that the development of the world in the future may not meet my most positive expectations.

But at the same time, the illusion of six paths of reincarnation as a black box is not convincing to me.

Perhaps to begin with, no single option is the best of both worlds. So, I decided not to think about it any more.

He moved his knuckles, made a crackling sound, and said with a smile: Come on, anyone is qualified to judge right from wrong,

But only the victors are capable of practicing the chosen path.

The old monk frowned, Are you sure?

Sure.

Li Ang replied firmly.

Seeing Li Ang's resolute tone, the old monk's eyes sharpened suddenly, and the gentle and calm temperament just now melted instantly, replaced by the knife-like sharpness of a great practitioner.

Boom! !

From the distant horizon came the dull thunderclap,

The scene in the illusion changes again,

I saw the earth rise, the mountains and rivers take shape,

Flowers, Yaocao, ancient cypresses, pines and other vegetation grow on their own, and there are a lot of houses on the plain, where monks and common people live, and everyone is gentle and friendly with a smile on their faces.

In the mountain forest, there are purple lucidum and flat peaches, and there are cranes, peacocks, green luan, and colorful phoenixes.

There are majestic buildings built in the mountains, each of which towers into the sky, and the stars can be plucked with one's hand.

And above the pure white clouds, there are ancient temples on high mountains. Bodhisattvas, King Kong, Arrow, Jiedi, Dayao, Jialan, etc. live in it and practice intensively.

Pure Land Buddha.

Li Ang took a deep breath, of course he understood that Jianquan has studied Buddhism and philosophy for many years, and his will and character are as firm as iron, so he has the upper hand in this illusion.

It can even evolve a boundless Buddhist kingdom by virtue of imagination.

If I smell it,

Jianquan opened his mouth slowly, For a while, the Buddha was in Sravasti, and only the tree was given to the Lonely Garden.

The Buddha's light was released, the Buddha's voice rang, all the Bodhisattvas and arhats glared at Li Ang, and the entire Pure Land Buddha Kingdom was slowly overturned.

Really, spectacular.

Looking up at the dark sky, Li Ang sighed sincerely.

The Buddha Kingdom is so magnificent and magnificent that it makes people want to lose their fighting spirit.

Li Ang has no doubt that if he is suppressed by the Buddha Kingdom in the illusion, his soul will also disappear in the real world.

However, the attribute of illusion means that he also has the ability to generate illusions.

Li Ang raised his palm, and the Buddha light under his feet twisted and darkened, slowly condensing into the shape of a metal gun barrel.

With the corners of his mouth raised slightly, Li Ang raised his head and looked up at the gods and Buddhas in the sky. With a move of both arms, heavy tanks, armored vehicles, intercontinental missile launchers, heavy bombers, fighters, and even cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers were formed under his feet.

The dark cluster of weapons spread to the end of the horizon,

The soldiers, who were wearing black military uniforms and full face masks and could not see their faces clearly, saluted Li Ang respectfully, got into the armed vehicle, inserted the keys in an orderly manner, and started the engine.

Since it is a dream, it might as well be wild.
