Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4225: Desire to persuade slaves to establish Buddha

Liu Yu said calmly: "Then, Mr. Tao, answer my two questions first. First, how can you ensure that other villages, other sources, and other people will not come to steal your peach blossom source? Don't tell me It is human nature to say that people can be selfless when they think about it, and that everyone is noble. It is human nature to want to grab what others have. How can this ideal be realized without the protection of the state?

Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "As long as everyone in the world abides by the rules and pays attention to morality, these will not be a problem. Because people need to use violence to protect themselves, and sooner or later they will become people who use violence to attack others. This is complementary to each other." , You say this is human nature, hmph, I say this kind of evil behavior becomes more and more intense because of the country and the so-called protector.

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, let's not talk about the country, let's talk about your village in Taohuayuan. How do you ensure that everyone is willing to take the same amount of land and pay the same amount of labor? How about getting the same output in the end? What if someone wants to occupy an extra tens of acres of land?

Tao Yuanming didn't seem to have thought much about this issue, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "No, a family can support the whole family without using much land, just like my family of seven people, only need Two hundred acres of land can feed everyone."

Liu Yu shook his head: "But what if this village doesn't have so many lands? Or the population in the world is growing more and more. It used to be able to support everyone, but it will not be able to support endless descendants in the future? Didn't you consider it in your story of Peach Blossom Spring?" , Has the population of this village remained almost unchanged for hundreds of years? If it was only the villagers who reproduced with such inbreeding relatives, then the offspring would have been either idiots or fools, and could not continue. Alas.

The slight twitching of the muscles on Tao Yuanming's face seemed to have stimulated him, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground and said loudly: "It's nonsense, as long as there are enough clan members, as long as, as long as there are people from outside joining in, Then this kind of situation will not happen, what kind of close relative marriage is either stupid or stupid Liu Yu, if you don't understand the situation, don't mess around.

Liu Yu's thoughts changed, and he thought to himself, this Tao Yuanming reacted so strongly, it seemed that he was talking about his pain. Could it be that this so-called Peach Blossom Spring is not a complete fiction? Could it be that the Tao family is hiding somewhere Is it the Peach Blossom Spring in Dongtian Paradise?

Even, the younger sister that he couldn't care about all this time, is he really a close relative?

But Liu Yu suppressed the urge to know these answers in his heart, because he knew that now is not the time to ask these questions, and it is impossible for a smart person like Tao Yuanming to tell himself all these things when he loses control of his emotions. I still have to think about the long-term, Liu Yu changed the subject: "Okay, Mr. Tao, I think, you should also know that your ideal country is not easy to realize. Everything is born, and there will be a ruler in the future, don't you mean Just kidding, if you want to survive in this world, you can’t rely on individuals, you must form a collective, and then there will be tribes, clans, and then leaders, and finally a country will be formed step by step.”

Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "I believe that as long as we persuade people to be kind, to be single-minded, to have awe, and to know right from wrong, we can restrain those evil, violent, and predatory natures in human nature, and we can have no desires without desires." , and you, Liu Yu, just want to use desire to stimulate others, let them work hard to realize your ambitions, kill people and set fires, go to conquer the world, and finally use their lives to achieve your reputation. Liu Yu, Has your conscience really not hurt all these years?

Liu Yu said calmly: "I am fighting to restore the Han people's world and free them from being enslaved by Hu Fang. If this is what you think is the ambition, then let this ambition continue. I don't think this What's wrong? Are you not a Han Chinese? Your Tao family has never fought against Hu Geng before?"

A smile flashed across Tao Yuanming's face, he laughed, shook his head and said: "All living beings are equal, it's too short-sighted to be entangled with Han people and Hu people. What are Han people and what are Hu people? Could it be that the king of the Han people is How good is it to the Han people? Liu Yu, look at the emperor Sima in the Western Jin Dynasty, look at our puppet emperors in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and those greedy aristocratic families, do these Han people treat the farmer farmers who are also Han people, and ordinary people? Farmers and village women see them as human beings? In their eyes, these people are just talking animals

. Even the Huren Hejian will love the Han people more than these Han emperors and nobles.

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "But Fu Jian died in the end, at the hands of the enemies of the Hu people whom he had forgiven and pardoned. He thought that others would be grateful for the favors he gave, but they took advantage of him after he was defeated. Instead, he killed him, Tao Yuanming, do you think that the Buddhism of the barbarians can solve the desires and disputes in this world and bring about a peaceful world?"

Tao Yuanming nodded triumphantly: "This time, you are right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I also asked about cultivating immortals in the early years, but later found that the more I want to cultivate longevity, the more difficult it is to succeed, and instead I am impatient and miss it. A lot of happiness that I should have. But after I came into contact with Buddhism, I became interested in their teachings. Although I knew that desire is the most terrible thing in the world and drives all disputes in the world, I didn’t know that How to resolve it, I can only express my ideal by writing about an idealized fairyland like Taohuayuan, but the emergence of Buddhism makes me feel that this ideal may be realized.

Liu Yu laughed: "Relying on the six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism, good and evil will be rewarded, which can restrain people's desires, make people afraid to do bad things, and make all living beings equal?"

Tao Yuanming said seriously: "At least there is this possibility, there is this hope. You see, the Hou Qin used to be a barbarian who committed all kinds of evil and treachery, but now that the whole country believes in Buddhism, they have begun to become less cruel. After war, if all countries in the world, regardless of Han or Hu people, could do this, wouldn’t there be fewer wars and more people would be saved?”

Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed a complex look, and he looked at Liu Yu: "General Liu, the Buddhist school, has a good saying, which is to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. In the past, in Tianzhu, countless countries were destroyed , The generation of kings who slaughtered the city like hemp, since then, have cultivated martial arts, become a monk, and accumulated countless merits. If you can change your past like Yao Xing, you may not be able to become a Buddha immediately. Only then can you be truly admired by all generations.
