Chapter 153: Follow the trend and benefit humanity (4,000)

During the conversation, Feng Yun did not talk about the situation of the people of Guangdong who were short of food in winter with great benevolence and righteousness.

In this way, he blackmailed King Yangyue to rescue the weak people.

Instead, explain the actual situation to the king and let him choose.

If there are no people, where will the scholars, farmers, industry and merchants come from?

The king also said that he could distribute food and grass to help.

Feng Yun said: "You should not give them gifts. You should work hard to gain food and give them hope. However, they still fall into depravity. Those who cheat and cheat will die without regret. As a human being, there is no need to feel sad for this."

The King of Yangyue was in a high position and had never cared about the sentiments of the people. He had little sympathy for the people. This time he gave food for the sake of Feng Yun.

Then he said: "Do what Mr. An Feng said..."

After finishing speaking, he thought about it and looked at Feng Yundao.

"I heard that Chu turtles gave Baiyue five thousand stones of grain and ten chariots of soldiers and armor?"

Chu turtle?

Feng Yun hesitated.

"Jingchu did give Baiyue a gift, but it only angered Yangyue..."

The contempt in King Yangyue's eyes was towards Jing Chu.

"There is no need to explain, Mr. Feng. Dazai has discussed this matter with me and knows that Baiyue has no intention of unrest and invasion of Guangdong."

Having formed an alliance, King Yangyue naturally believed Feng Yun's words.

"Fengjun is a virtuous person. He is not from Yangyue, but he can sympathize with the suffering of the weak people of Yangyue."

"Let's see. I will send hundreds of thousands of stones of food and twenty chariots of soldiers to Guangdong as a gift of friendship with Lord Feng."

Feng Yun did not ask Yang Yue about food, but he did not expect that because of today's trivial matter, the Yang Yue monarch wanted to increase his food supply.

Feng Yun pondered for a moment.

He cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you so much, King Yangyue..."

Feng Yun was not ambiguous, Baiyue needed this food to develop, and he also needed this food to implement policies.

King Yangyue decided to make friends with him, and if he accepted it, it would be considered that he owed King Yangyue a favor.

King Yangyue was delighted and immediately ordered to prepare grain and grass.

"After Lord Feng holds the merchant sacrifice, he can return home with the food. This can be regarded as Lord Feng's political achievement, hahaha..."

in this way……

After chatting for a few words, Feng Yun saw that King Yangyue wanted to leave, and Feng Yun also voluntarily withdrew from the palace.

Standing in front of Yangyue Palace, Feng Yun looked towards Yangyue City.

From a distance, you can see the residential buildings criss-crossing below, with wind and snow coming and going, and few pedestrians...

Looking closer, I saw Ji Ran coming in a hurry.

"Jun Wenfeng is explaining to the king in the palace how to distribute food to the weak people in the city of Guangdong. Yu Te is here to assist."

It can be seen that Ji Ran attaches great importance to Feng Yun and pays attention to everything in the palace.

But I came here for another reason.

"Fengjun, why do you go to seek royal affairs for the sake of the common people of other countries?"

In Ji Ran's opinion, this was a provocation to other countries' political figures. If Feng Yun hadn't been famous and King Yang Yue was not politically astute, Feng Jun would not have been able to solve it so easily.

"It stands to reason that as Lord Feng is the Prime Minister of the country, he should avoid taboos..."

Ji Ran tried to persuade Feng Yun in a subtle way.

But Feng Yun said——

"There are three ways in this world."

"The first is heaven, the second is earth, and the third is spirit. The spirit is also a human being, so we act as human beings."

Ji Ran was slightly stunned.

"Heaven and Earth people?"

He and Ji Ran walked down the stairs simultaneously, where Manwa and Zou Yan were waiting for Feng Yun.

Zou Yan and Man Wa saw Ji Ran standing next to them, chatting with Feng Yun, so they did not come forward and just followed him silently.

Seems to have some understanding.

Feng Yun uses today's events to explain the world and the people——

"What happened today is that a powerful person protects a weak person. This is not in line with the laws of heaven and earth."

Hearing the sound, Zou Yan pricked up his ears and listened.

Ji Ran was slightly stunned, but he also understood that Feng Yun wanted to discuss Taoism. He took off the bronze talisman representing Dazai from his waist, waved it and handed it to a Yangyue nobleman.

"Go and arrange the things that Mr. Feng and the king said. Don't go against a single word."

"No." The man left.

Only then did Ji Ran look back and express his questions.

"The strong helps the weak, why does heaven and earth not match each other?"

"Fengjun, why do you want to help the weak?"

What Feng Yun did was inconsistent with what he said, which made Ji Ran confused.

Feng Yun smiled.

"Because..."

"Heaven has no mercy, only oneself; all things are the same, and there is no partiality based on strength or weakness."

"The earth is affectionate, but it loves everyone; all things are the same, and there is no preference based on strength or weakness."

Ji Ran was speechless. As he thought about it, his eyes became weirder.

This is indeed the case.

Heaven and earth are like two extremes, but the strange thing is that at the end of the extreme, all things are treated fairly, and all things are the same, impartial.

Ji Ran couldn't help but interpret Feng Yun's third way - the way of humanity.

"Fengjun is quick, but I beg you."

Feng Yun smiled, but Ji Ran was a sincere person who did not stick to trivial matters.

On the other side, Zou Yan also stared at Feng Yun with anxious eyes.

Then, Feng Yun continued: "The strong helping the weak does not conform to heaven and earth, but it conforms to human nature."

"People have seven emotions and six desires; ten thousand people each have one, but they can unite into one clan!"

Ji Ran was stunned.

"Seven emotions and six desires, ten thousand people are united into one?"

The more he thought about it, the more dazed Ji Ran became.

Feng Yun's words did not end.

"The way of humanity is that the strong lead the way, protect the weak, the weak work together, and give birth to the strong... This is the way of inheriting civilization of the human race, the method of endless life, and the method of fighting against the world."

"Although I am the Prime Minister of Baiyue, I am also a member of the human race. I am a strong person in Yangyue at this time, so I naturally lead the way."

"There are many nations, but one people."

"As a human being, first of all, we should consider the human race as the basis, then divide it into nations, and then discuss old and young, kinship and distance, grievances and grudges..."

"Under heaven and earth, our human race begins with the Sui people, Fuxi and Nuwa are the ancestors, Yan and Huang are the leaders, the five emperors are the leaders, and the three kings are the first. If you believe in one of them within the heaven and the earth, they are all my human race."

Within the heaven and the earth is the scope. After all, the heaven and the earth are too big, there are too many different places, and different places have different rules.

After Feng Yun made his statement, several people also walked to the Palace of Classics.

Feng Yun had no intention of helping those weak people personally.

Because the strong restraining the strong is the greatest help to the weak.

In fact, Feng Yun is now thinking about the future.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars raged.

He does not have a clear boundary between the various countries and tribes in the land of China. Coming from later generations, he knows that the world will eventually be unified. What can he do if he serves as an official for a country? This trend is irreversible and he will not go against it.

"clatter…"

Stepping into the Palace of Classical Books, Manwa went to settle down, and Zou Yan and Ji Ran followed Feng Yun into it.

What Feng Yun said just now shocked the two of them, and they needed to think about it carefully at this time.
