Is there a corresponding relationship between "fish pond breeding" and spiritual practice? Zhao Qing thought thoughtfully. Could it be that the fish pond is equivalent to the inner world of the "Six Qi Realm" cultivators, and the fish raised are equivalent to the Tao produced in it?
Yun? In this way, the image of "that friend" is actually just a general reference?
"The art of fish farming that I just mentioned is actually an epitome of the way to govern a country." Wenzi glanced at her and Mr. Yuan, and said seriously: "The distinction between the six qi is just like governing the country. It requires
Obtained from the greatness of the territory and the way of the Holy King, we can achieve the best results."
"The universe of heaven and earth, including the inner heaven and earth of practitioners, their owners, or the corresponding 'Dao of Heaven', is equivalent to the operator of the "fish pond", and can also be regarded as the monarch of a country; and the emperor controls the yin and yang and the six qi
The Taoism is the key to developing the national economy..."
"If there are ways to make money, there should also be ways to spend money." Zhao Qing asked aloud: "So, between different fish pond owners, for example, between this world and a high-level practitioner in it,
Is there some kind of 'transaction' that can be made with each other?"
Looking at her with admiration, Wenzi smiled slightly and explained: "That's true. And the currency they used in the transaction process is the so-called 'Dao Yun', an equivalent that can be said to be universal in all worlds.
In exchange for the other party's majestic power and special authority in the world."
"In my opinion, the endless chaotic void and all the worlds can be regarded as fish ponds of different sizes and development levels. The 'owners' of the fish ponds are engaged in fair and orderly competition.
Daoyun' trading, and because the fish ponds representing a world have different development stages, the total fish production, cost price, and transaction price are also different."
"As long as a sufficient price is paid, objects will always fall from high to low, things lighter than water will float from the water, people, animals and plants will grow old, sick and die, etc. In the eyes of ordinary people, these unchanging laws of heaven and earth are not impossible.
Easier absolute rules..."
"At the stage of the 'Six Qi' realm, during practice, by enshrining the virtues of the Holy King and entrusting the Government of the Holy King, the small 'fish pond' that was originally a low level can develop towards a higher stage, become more perfect, produce more and more fish, and be able to
Earn more 'Daoyun'..."
Zhao Qing was shocked. Wenzi's words suddenly enlightened her and gave her a new perspective on spiritual practice:
Treating the acquisition of strength through practice as a kind of commercial trade with the outside world, and using the method of governing the country to guide the practice of the "six qi" realm and above is undoubtedly a very valuable idea and is very consistent with the other party.
The identities of the Ji Ran family and Huang Lao Taoist family.
The mature and perfect big world, according to Wenzi's fish pond-state system development stage theory, is obviously at the advanced stage of "governing by doing nothing". Therefore, "heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as stupid dogs", allowing the creatures in the world to notice
There is no subjective intention of "the way of heaven".
This kind of "Heavenly Way" is like a sage monarch with noble moral character. The "virtue" displayed by the person and the "government orders" issued by him are probably the "five" required for the next stage of "dream introduction".
"The Rhythm of Virtue" and "The Government of the Five Constant Beings".
If this principle is generalized, then cultivating the inner world is like governing a country. It requires the use of weight and weight techniques to weigh the balance of yin and yang and the six qi. Just like the monarch of the country needs to formulate policies, adjust the economy, and maintain social order, it tests the
Their understanding and application of the laws of heaven and earth.
These "virtues" and "government orders" not only affect the development of the inner world of cultivators, but also affect their own path of cultivation.
…
Seeing that Zhao Qing seemed to have basically understood the relationship between these people, Wenzi was quite relieved and said lightly: "That's it for the story I want to say. Do you have anything else to ask?
"
Not prepared to hide anything, Zhao Qing directly asked some questions about the inheritance and understanding of King Yu's Mausoleum and the subsequent policies of King Gou Jian of Yue, and got a clear answer from Wenzi:
The reason why the other party used metaphors before was to make it easier for him to understand, and he was definitely not beating around the bush.
To put it simply, according to Wenzi’s knowledge, since the Yue State has not collected taxes for ten years and the people in the mountains have even forgotten the management of the country, Goujian is planning to implement the "household counting" policy after the end of the Yu Festival, and
Consider returning to land tax of 20 to 1 tax, city tax of 50 to 1 tax, and customs tax of 1 to 100 tax.
There is no doubt that such a tax rate can be said to be very low for the people of Vietnam and does not increase much burden. The main intention is to strengthen the state's control over local areas and formulate it more accurately by counting household registrations across the country.
Next development policy.
You know, there is no head tax that was formalized by Shang Yang and brought heavy pressure to the common people in later generations, nor is there a series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes with many names. One-twentieth of the tax is a real low amount, which is much lower than that of later generations.
Many dynasties that appear to be light on corvee and light on gifts, but in fact are often at or above the survival line, are much stronger.
More importantly, in today's world, under normal circumstances, civilians only need to perform corvee for one to three days a year, and they can pay for it. If it is a large-scale project that lasts for several months, they only need to participate once.
They can be exempted from labor for life, and the degree of hard work is far less than that of the feudal dynasty where the average annual labor force was more than one month.
It has to be said that the development of ancient society was a process in which bad money drove out good money and exploitation became more and more severe. Although science and technology drove the continuous development of productivity, the country was always rich and the people were weak. There were also serious land annexations. In the Western Zhou Dynasty,
The Spring and Autumn period may have been a better time.
"I've almost explained your question. Let's leave the other things to the next time!"
Thinking about the impact of the upcoming "census", Zhao Qing looked at Wenzi who had finished answering the questions and saw that the other person packed up the fishing tackle he was carrying and let a golden carp jump onto the ape's head.
On the shoulder, and then toward the hand, it disappeared.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
No, it seems to be the two of us who disappeared, right? Moreover, it seems that this is not only a teleportation in space, but also a reversal of time?
The next moment, Zhao Qing was on a wide and flat mountain road, looking at the huge Kuaiji City spread out in the shape of a parallelogram to the north, and the sun hanging above his head. Zhao Qing blinked in confusion, and suddenly recalled a series of events related to her previous experience.
It was a completely different past experience.
It was a memory that seemed to be true from beginning to end. The content was that when she was teaching Zheng Dan in the morning, she took the time to contact Shi Yuanluo, and then she and Yuan Gong were led to the Mausoleum of Dayu at noon.
Wanwei Mountain on the side is climbing close to the cemetery.
Glancing at Monkey King, who looked equally confused, and experiencing this strange feeling as if the timelines were splitting and merging, Zhao Qing thought about the possibility that he had fallen into an illusion before, and suddenly remembered what Wenzi said earlier, "In the eyes of ordinary people,
"Following the unchangeable laws of heaven and earth are not absolute rules that cannot be changed." I couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.
"Although you both have obtained permission to enter the outer area of ​​King Yu's Mausoleum, and you can move freely outside the cemetery, in any case, you must not make any blasphemy in front of the relics related to King Yu.
Well, Xiaobai, just follow what Ah Qing does..."
He looked suspiciously at the ape man who was supposed to be unethical according to common sense. He was flying a few feet in front of Zhao Qing. Shi Yuanluo, who was leading the way, sensed the mood swings of the two people behind him, so she turned her head and reminded her.
:
"In this area where there are many inheritances that can be understood, relying on the temporarily given Si bloodline, normally you only have three days to stay here, so don't overestimate your abilities. Try
Try to understand content beyond the limits of your current realm.”
"The best situation is to find an intermediate inheritance that suits you as soon as possible and enter a state of deep enlightenment. Since this kind of opportunity for enlightenment is very rare, even if the three days have ended, someone will help you to continue it.
Go on until the state of enlightenment subsides."
"Do I need to say which one is more valuable compared to a high-level inheritance that is incomplete, maybe even less than 1%, and cannot be practiced at all, or a mid-level inheritance that is generally complete?"
She lowered her voice and told Zhao Qing what the monkey master had done, and then smiled slightly. Seeing that she was not far away from the formation barrier guarding the tomb of King Yu, she turned her sleeves and took out two inch-diameter
Xu's smooth ball was thrown into the hands of the latter two.
"If you are not a descendant of Dayu, or if your bloodline is too thin, and you want to enter the realm of King Yu's Mausoleum and live safely there without being excluded, you need to refine this extremely precious 'God Pearl Coix' and change your physique.
, thus being temporarily given the 'bloodline' of Si's surname."
Pointing to these two seemingly inconspicuous beads, Shi Yuanluo introduced: "In the past, when Yu's mother was traveling in the mountains, she saw shooting stars flying across the sky, and she dreamed of meaning. She swallowed the magic pearl and gave birth to Yu with a lump in her chest.
.'This precious and rare variety of coix is ​​the origin of the surname Si in ancient times."
"Among the strict guard arrangements of King Yu's Tomb, only in the depths of the cemetery and within ten feet of Yu's Tomb can the 'God Pearl Coix' be planted and bred, which can temporarily give other people the ancient 'Si' surname. Every year,
The output is quite limited, and only a small amount can be harvested during the spring and autumn festivals."
"However, when you refine the divine power of Coix outside, with its blessing, all the facilities and inheritance in the cemetery will judge you as a direct descendant of Dayu. When you gain enlightenment, you will not
Encountered obstacles arising from distant blood relationships."
…
"At the same time", thousands of miles away in Shenyang Village, Nanlin Township, on the river bank on the edge of the mountains, Wenzi took his fishing gear and just stepped off the wooden pier bridge, casually folding a piece of green reed leaf.
With great interest, he knitted it into the shape of a straw boat, bent down and gently placed it on the water.
The next moment, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, so he turned around and saw an old businessman in gray clothes, stroking his beard, with a slight smile on his face, as if everything was unspoken.
Rubbing the jade crutch with two fingers, the old businessman also smiled slightly, and then spoke solemnly and asked: "Are you sure?"
"It used to be about 80% to 90%, but now it's 100%." ​​Wenzi replied calmly.
The old Shangzi was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Do you need me to take a closer look at Yuejun's appearance as a human being, and use the power of heaven to get a glimpse of his destiny?"
"'To accept the country's filth is to be called the master of the country; to be the country to be ominous is to be the king of the world.' If Gou Jian can maintain his current state of being willing to bear all the responsibilities of the Yue people, even if this country was only a small country in the past, it will have a bright future.
." Wenzi said calmly: "And once he changes his original ambition, how can I not notice it?"
