Chapter 357 The Hammer and the Sickle (Part 2)(1/2)
Chu Liang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would be so smooth to persuade Xu Chang'an.
He thought that his elder brother Xu was still the very kind little marquis, and the soft-hearted little marquis who were as soft as ripe persimmons.
In fact, Xu Changan is not the one who feels soft-hearted when he sees anyone.
However, perhaps it is because he has suffered all the grievances and bullying along the way. Therefore, he will feel soft-hearted when he sees others being bullied. Just like many people, even though they are living a mess of their lives, they still cannot stand the sufferings of the world.
If others could listen to the truth, Xu Changan would naturally not draw his sword, let alone kill him.
By fighting violence with violence, temporary pleasure and peace can indeed be obtained.
But at the same time, it also buried the seeds of violence in his heart. Xu Changan could indeed obtain temporary peace by using violent means. Of course, he could avenge his relatives and betray his relatives, but Xu Changan's responsibility did not allow him to do so. He represented not only himself, but also the human race.
Any race or any creature, when it is oppressed to the extreme, will bottom out and rebound.
This was the human race back then, and now if he forcibly suppresses the demon race, the demon race will do so. Moreover, since Mr. Zeng and his parents found a path to get along harmoniously between the human race, he must continue.
Master Zeng exchanged his life for his life, just to tell Xu Chang'an that if you want peace, you need the word "harmony"; his parents told him all their lives that this matter would take a lifetime to persist; while Master Li Zhiyi taught him in the village what "if there is no thunderous means, how can the heart of a Bodhisattva come from?"
There are many people who sacrificed their lives to fight against the demon race. Xu Changan was of course angry, but he understood the path he wanted to go better.
He will not kill at will, but it does not mean that he will be ruthless to the enemy.
Therefore, he knew that if he wanted peace, he had to pay some price and had to bleed and sacrifice; so, although he seemed a little indecisive, he was supportive in his heart when facing Chu Liang's plan; so he knew what he should use to thunder and when should he have a Bodhisattva heart.
Facing Chu Liang's plan and facing someone who wants to differentiate and control the human race, Xu Changan will naturally let them know what the Thunderbolt method is!
Chu Liang looked at Xu Changan and nodded heavily.
In fact, Chu Liang's reputation is not very good. There are not many people who came out of Jixia Academy. Even because Chu Liang prevented the four major families from obtaining benefits, some people are now slandering Chu Liang.
What other people think of Chu Liang, Chu Liang doesn't care. He only knows now that he has received the support of the most important person.
In this life, it is enough to get a confidant!
Looking at Chu Liang's eyes, Xu Changan smiled faintly and said, "What, I'm a little surprised?"
"Well, I thought Brother Xu would stop me and surrender to the four major families." Chu Liang expressed his concerns without any concealment.
"You underestimate him. He has never been soft-super to others, but has been merciless to others. Moreover, this guy has no idea about financial management, he is still stingy and lazy!" Li Daoyi yawned and said deliberately.
Seeing Li Daoyi say this, Chu Liang knew that Brother Xu and his friends had accepted him. He knew that Li Daoyi was joking, but he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, how do you say this?"
"If he had killed Xuanyuan Rende in Chang'an, there would have been so many things!" Li Daoyi said angrily.
"But Brother Xu didn't know that Xuanyuan Rende was like this at the beginning. And if he killed Xuanyuan Rende in Chang'an, wouldn't he be charged with the crime of regicide?"
Li Daoyi thought for a while and then said, "He doesn't give me money, help him manage his finances."
When Li Daoyi said this, he even slapped his mouth, looking particularly aggrieved and pitiful, just as Xu Changan bullied him.
"I haven't seen any of the things we received in our wedding!" Wang Zihan looked at Li Daoyi with a smile on his face, obviously joking.
A Yuan tried hard to open her mung bean-sized eyes and looked at Li Daoyi disdainfully.
When Li Daoyi was asked this, he could only lower his head and say nothing. He blushed and took a sentence for a long time.
"Then I'm also using it to help the poor!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and even many people around them laughed. They didn't know who was working with them these days, nor did they know who the five or six people came at this time, but this group of people looked very kind, especially the aggrieved look of the little Taoist priest made people angry and funny.
"Stingy, he is not stingy for your Haiyu Mansion. Otherwise, he can leave Liu Chenglang directly." Wang Zihan added.
In fact, it is hard to tell who is different between Li Daoyi and Xu Changan. They are all friends who live in life.
Li Daoyi said this, just to liven up the atmosphere and to make everyone feel more relaxed.
He could see that Chu Liang was a little nervous just now.
"Okay, okay, don't talk so much, let's discuss what to do. If I expected it, someone will come to me in a few days."
Chu Liang nodded, then put the farm tools he brought in his backpack, and then said, "Then let's go back and talk."
Chu Liang did not take Xu Chang'an and others to the military camp, but came to a village.
The people here don’t know Chu Liang’s true identity. When some people see him, they smile and say hello.
"Brother Chu, it's a bit early to finish work today!"
These people only know that there are big people who ask them to reclaim wasteland. Now it is almost winter, and they are idle even when they are idle. It is better to help. Moreover, the imperial court will give certain subsidies to reclaim wasteland. Even if they do not provide subsidies, they promise to distribute the land to them.
This is a big deal, and it is much more cost-effective than planting some land in the homes of rich people.
Of course, some masters have also come to find them and are not allowed to reclaim wasteland, but they are driven away by some soldiers every time.
Over time, the people became more and more confident in this matter.
As for Chu Liang, he built a room here and helped reclaim wasteland, so naturally no one said anything.
After all, Chu Liang is kind to others, and does not fight or rob, which naturally wins the favor of the people.
"Well, if you have friends, please stop work early." Chu Liang had no airs, and his performance was completely different from his performance at the time of the King of Jin's Mansion and Jixia Academy.
"Okay, if you have any dishes, you can come to me, Blacksmith Zhao. I have two pieces of bacon, and if I need it, I can lend you one first." The person who greeted Chu Liang was called Blacksmith Zhao, who was enthusiastic and generous, and was famous for his warmth.
When Chu Liang was just here, Zhao blacksmith helped him build a simple wooden house. In order to repay him, Chu Liang taught him some of the forging methods in the army. After all, when he was in the Jixia Academy, they had to learn about armor and forging methods. Although they were not as proficient as Tiejian Mountain, they were at least much better than the folk forging methods.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao Blacksmith is particularly good to Chu Liang.
Chu Liang nodded, and Zhao Blacksmith didn't bother him, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, then I'll leave!"
After Zhao Blacksmith left, Chu Liang asked Xu Changan and others to sit down first, and not long after, he brought back a piece of bacon.
Chu Liang didn't say anything, but started to get busy and prepare supper for everyone.
Li Daoyi looked at Wang Zihan provocatively, and the meaning was very obvious, and he wanted her to help. But Wang Zihan was originally a eldest lady, and after going to the South China Sea, he became the young master. How could these things happen? Seeing Li Daoyi's gaze, Wang Zihan could only lower his head.
Then Li Daoyi looked at A Yuan again, and A Yuan lay down straight, not looking at the arrogant Li Daoyi.
Li Dao traveled around the world, cheated and cheated, and naturally he would cook. Now Chu Liang obviously had something to talk about with Xu Changan, so let's talk about it. Besides, let Chu Liang be alone. It's not good to be busy at home and outside. Li Daoyi smiled proudly, then rolled up his sleeves and went to help.
Not long after, a table of food came.
These foods are naturally not as good as those in Chang'an, but they are not bad either. They have meat and vegetables, which makes them unique.
Even many people knew that Chu Liang had customers and even gave him a lot of vegetables.
This village is the village Xu Chang'an imagined. The people are united and friendly, and the family is full of trouble, and everyone helps.
Some things need not be said much, just judge by what you see, hear and feel.
What kind of person Chu Liang is? His true thoughts can be seen through his relationship with the people.
Xu Changan could see that the people like Chu Liang from the bottom of their hearts.
As a general, it is indeed not easy for Chu Liang to do this.
This is equality, this is true friendship.
While everyone was having a meal, Chu Liang suddenly said: "Brother Xu, in fact, many ordinary people are kind-hearted, but when they mention the demon clan, they are so angry that they hate them. In fact, many people have never seen the demon clan, but when they hear others say that the demon clan is so vicious, they start to hate them. I think that if you want to let the demon clan and the demon clan live in harmony, just persuade those high-ranking figures to use swords. How to make the demon clan and the human clan at the bottom give up their past grudges? This is the most important thing."
Xu Changan nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, good or bad is not about race, but about temperament. But it is difficult to start from the bottom first!"
"But if the people at the bottom are easily fooled by the top leaders. Have you ever thought about it? If the four major families even Zhan Xu or Lie Tianming promised to integrate and peace, but secretly instigated the people and the demons at the bottom to hate each other for their own interests, what should we do?"
When Xu Changan heard this, he frowned.
What Chu Liang said is not without reason. If you make trouble like this, the people will suffer.
"So, what do you think?"
Xu Changan thought about it and hurriedly took a bite of the meal. As for Li Daoyi, Wang Zihan and Lin Shan, he was too lazy to care about their affairs, and eating was the most important thing.
Chu Liang was about to answer, but he didn't expect that the young master suddenly said: "From the bottom and from the ideological perspective. Take Xun Fa's reform as an example. He did use some policies to make the people have a certain good life. But now most people still have to listen to the landlords, and the landlords have to listen to the big family. Xun Fa's reforms will benefit these big families. It's not that Xun Fa's ideas and practices are not good, but they are just not thorough enough!"
The young master put down the bowl and said with a light in his eyes.
Chu Liang also had a light in his eyes when he looked at the young master. What the young master said was exactly what he wanted to say. He seemed to have met a soulmate, and his eyes were full of sincerity and passion!
The young master looked at Chu Liang and nodded, then stood up and continued, "Then I will be ugly. We should start to transform from the thoughts of the people. Let them know that there is no difference between the Holy Emperor and them; let them know that there is no so-called master; let them know that both men and women can study; let them know that as long as we unite, we can overcome all difficulties. Everyone works together, and there is no one who can enjoy the fruits of their own. The so-called master also has to work, and everyone has to eat and wear. People all over the world have no distinction between blood levels, less intrigue, think in one place, and work in the same place!"
The young master became more and more excited as he spoke. Let alone the young master, even Xu Changan, Wang Zihan, Li Daoyi and others put down the dishes and chopsticks, and became a little excited.
Even Chu Liang couldn't help but continue, "If this is true, we have to start from our thoughts! Taking education as the foundation, let scholars first agree with our ideas. Is it better to have a king, prince, general, and minister? Then let children and young people have such ideas. Even if they reach the realm of spiritual enlightenment, their bodies will rot one day. This world is always a latecomer!"
"This is not bad. A person's real change is not about what he has done, but whether his thoughts have changed. As long as his thoughts change, the whole person will change. Let's start with thoughts and education! Moreover, we can control these two things and can also influence them. Whether it is Pihansi or Confucius Temple, the four major families and the so-called masters cannot reach in!"
Xu Changan immediately said, with some excitement in his voice.
He did not expect that meeting Chu Liang would allow him to develop his mother and his father's thoughts and gradually form a complete system.
"Well, okay, then when you leave, I will go back to Chang'an. I'll give me this matter. Let's reform again, but this time the reform is different from the reform of Xun Fa. This time, we reform and reform from an ideological perspective. Otherwise, let's give a name?"
The young master thought about it and said.
Xu Changan nodded, thought for a while and said, "To be simple, our change is called new ideas!"
The discussions in Chu Liang's wooden house are in full swing, and the village is also in full swing.
...
A group of well-dressed masters came to the village at dinner, and the sedan chairs were parked at the entrance of the village, with dozens of them.
The sedan chairmen lined up in several rows, with nearly a hundred people.
To be continued...
