Vol 4 Chapter 2396: Paradise on earth

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Actually, I told my seniors very clearly last time. If I succeed on my mission this time and take back the 12th county of Nanyang, then I will be a great hero of the Jin Kingdom. At this time, Liu Yi would definitely try to prevent me from being a high official in the court out of jealousy, and the high family of Jiankang would also squeeze me out. Even Liu Yu might not be promoted to my official position. I can take these. Write an article and take the initiative to resign. In this way, the world will think that I was suppressed and excluded by Liu Yu and forced to leave."
The Dou Pengke smiled slightly: "But even if you use this trick to attack Liu Yu's name, it will only take a few months. After Liu Yu has taken the 12th county of Nanyang, he will never give up. He will definitely send troops to Lingnan or Xishu, wiped out these forces of civil strife, or even both. The Nanyang Basin was asked for only to ensure the safety of the rear and the flanks. All this is for fighting and making merits, or in terms of the art of war, this It's a handover, and stabilize the situation around the theater before taking action."
Having said this, he paused: "In fact, Yao Xing was also in the process of cutting the hand, surrendering the Nanyang Basin and temporarily obtaining Liu Yu’s reconciliation. On the one hand, shrinking forces can reduce food consumption, and on the other hand, it can also use Nanyang’s soldiers. Ma and part of Luoyang’s defending army encircled Hu Xia. He used Gu Zang City to show his good for Zhu Liang. This time he attacked Hu Xia, he could use this as an excuse to ask Nan Liang or Bei Liang to send troops to help him. Although Hu Xia had few soldiers and horses, he came. To go without a trace, it is extremely mobile. If you want to kill it, you must attack from Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and Monan at the same time, chase and intercept, so it is not only to abandon Nanyang and stabilize the southern line, but he will continue to continue. Unite with the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran to attack Hu Xia."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, they are cutting diplomatic relations, but Liu Yu is now preparing to immigrate to Jiangbei, pulling people from the manor of the noble family in Wudi, and Liu Yi will have a fight with him if he returns to his teacher. At this time, sending troops to Xishu or Lingnan may not be appropriate."
Dou Pengke smiled slightly: "No matter where you fight, there will always be a place to attack. The internal attack on collaborators and allies is by no means a feat that everyone recognizes. Our Jinu brother is still the most powerful on the battlefield. If this If Yao Xing didn’t give him Nanyang, he might attack Nanyang directly, and even attack Luoyang and Guanzhong next. This kind of great power is much better than playing Xishu or pacifying Lingnan. Okay, let’s not mention this for now. Just say that if you leave Liu Yu, how can you continue to damage his reputation?"
Tao Yuanming triumphantly stroked his beard, looked at the surging Bashui in front of him, and said: "In this world, you don’t necessarily have power. Soldiers and horses can influence the world. Sometimes, the reputation in the hearts of the world is better than These visible powers are even stronger. Just like Kumarajiva, he has no officials, no soldiers, no generals, and even a monk, but in the north, he is regarded as a living Buddha and comes to his temple every day. People, those men and women who worship him and trust him, are more than those who believe in the emperor Yao Xing."
The cloak's brows wrinkled slightly: "I quarreled with Kumarajiva just now about this matter. I said that these monks don't do production, but they just make up some reincarnation reincarnation, accumulating virtue and doing good words to deceive people. People give up their resistance to this world and place their hopes in the next life. In fact, they are just some non-productive moths. But I just don't understand. Why do so many people believe that it is these moths?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it is a wise man who has a lot of concerns and has made a mistake. The master is a peerless talent. It is naturally difficult to understand the mentality of these ordinary people. For them, give them land and farm tools to protect them from war. Yao Xing, who can live in this world, is not a benefactor, because he still has to collect taxes from them, levy them, and ask them to hand over the silk cloth. They worked hard, but they supported Yao Xing and the officials, and those who protected them The soldiers and horses that are not subject to slaughter and plunder are also eating their food. These people are not benefactors to them, but enemies."
The Dou Pengke sneered: "All things are born, and there are kings behind. These rulers must form a country, build an army, and organize production, so that the people of the country can have food and not be attacked by others. These principles, three-year-old children I should understand, but why don't you understand the peasant village woman who has lived all her life?"
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Because they don't think about these problems at all, they just think that they are their own ability to grow real estate and do not need to be given by people. When the state grants land to them, they will not feel it. They think it is a matter of course. But when taxing, I feel that I have suffered a huge loss, and I want to grab my own things and children. Of course, if there is no state protection, when the enemy's army is slaughtered, I will cry and want someone to protect it, and I will rely on it. The leader of a powerful military group, but as long as a few months pass by, he will return to his old habits and feel that there is no country in this world to protect himself. When I wrote the story of Taohuayuan before, it was because I had contact with villagers who thought this way. Many, I feel it."
The captain laughed and patted Tao Yuanming on the shoulder: "Yuanming, you start from Hanwei. No one understands the ideas of these stupid people better than you~EbookFREE.me~ I used to see your Taohuayuan. Remember, I always think it’s too ridiculous, how can there be such a place in the world that can be separated from the existence of the court, the army, and the emperor."
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "In reality, there is no such place, because people without power and unprotected will definitely be attacked and plundered. Even if there is such a small village, it will not exist for long. If there is to be resistance The strength of foreign enemies must be organized and powerful. This is fundamentally in conflict with the situation in Taohuayuan where there is no ruler, no soldiers, no taxes. However, such a place is the ideal of ordinary people. The world is difficult and all beings are suffering. Everyone hopes that no one will collect taxes from oneself, no one will draw money, no one will attack oneself, and no one can drive oneself.
The captain said coldly: "It's just the kind of radicalization of Huang Lao's theory, but what you just said is very good. There is no such place in reality, so the fools hope that there will be such a place. Over time, they will deceive themselves. If there are more, I really believe that there will be such a paradise on earth."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "That's the case, Kumarajiva is also the same. He doesn't collect taxes from the people. He doesn't infringe or harm the people. He even helps them recite sutras and pray for blessings and eliminate karma. Compared with Yao Xing The emperor of the human world is the Living Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Therefore, the people prefer and admire these eminent monks. Living Buddhas, who cannot eat their own food, have to offer them incense, as if their clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were chanted by these eminent monks."
