#583 - Private trade fair
"Then, in your opinion, Fellow Daoist, those landlords, wealthy gentry, and powerful individuals are the real enemies?"
The person asking the question was an old man, whose Daoist robe was patched in today's setting.
Judging by his appearance, he should be a Daoist senior who doesn't care about external things~
"Individually, they may be kind, generous, and enlightened, but when they come together, they are a conservative class that truly controls the lifeblood of the country.
The land is in the hands of this group of people, causing more and more common people to have no land to cultivate, no place to stand, and wandering around. Just flip through the history books a few more times.
Everyone will understand that in history, whenever dynasties changed and the people began to rise up, most of them occurred under such circumstances."
After listening to the old Daoist's question, Liang Yue immediately explained some of his understanding.
In this era, all kinds of information are still too closed off. If it were the era of developed internet in later generations, anyone who has gone to high school for a few years should not have such a problem… …
"What Fellow Daoist said is a bit alarmist, isn't it?"
"Yes, I observe that the current two governments, North and South, although a little weak externally, are still able to do their best when it comes to serving the people.
A considerable number of people also have good reputations."
"What I said, as long as it is a mature politician, should not be denied. Nowadays, the government of China, whether North or South, as long as there are officials in office with some rank,
basically, they all have the support of those landlords and wealthy gentry. Hmm~ and those businessmen, but it is impossible for this group of people to suddenly have a whim one day and willingly take out the land in their hands,
to distribute it to those displaced people and poor villagers, so~ on the current land of China, the root of the disaster has always been there. At this time, those Western powers have finished their civil wars.
They are discussing how to divide the interests of the defeated countries. When they turn around, they will definitely continue to stir up trouble in China. By then, those who hold the army in their hands,
and still have some ambitions in their hearts, I am afraid that they will start a warlord separatism, with endless wars."
"… … Alas~ This kind of thing, we really can't intervene. If it's just driving out foreign enemies and exterminating some foreign warriors who rashly break into China, that's all, but once it involves civil war, alas~"
"Then, can we only stand by and watch at that time?"
"So, I said at the beginning that it is better to do our own duty, help the poor people around us, and punish evil and promote good will be enough.
At this stage, it is not the time for us to support any side."
"Then, the northern land controlled by Fellow Daoist Liang should be able to receive a lot of people, right?"
"The north is bitterly cold, but the products are indeed very rich. In that primitive forest, there is no shortage of various rare and exotic herbs, medicinal materials, and prey, and there are countless mineral deposits.
However, there are also quite a few people who are eyeing that land. Although Tsarist Russia in the west is still in civil war, a unified regime will emerge sooner or later.
At that time, they will definitely send troops to invade again. Japan in the east has coveted Chinese territory for a long time, and is also eyeing that place.
Before, they sent more than 500,000 troops to attack the domestic rebellion with the Tsar from both sides, taking the opportunity to pass through the northern land, and they already had bad intentions.
So, I left those people there."
"Then, those Japanese soldiers who died in the sea not long ago~"
"I also took action to eliminate them."
"… …"
… …
In this way, after being simply lectured by Liang Yue from the perspective of the people, the Daoists present were all very depressed.
Originally, they were ambitious and wanted to come out of the mountains to save the world, descending into the world in a detached posture, and then intervene in the situation of the North and South competing.
Although it may not be able to play a decisive role, at least it can affect the situation to a certain extent like Liang Yue.
However, after listening to someone's narration, the Daoists' minds also calmed down a lot, and even began to become speechless~
Of course, they were probably still a little unconvinced in their hearts… …
But after thinking about it again and again, they had to admit that the current situation of disputes and the suffering of the people in China were indeed not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Relying solely on the power of these outsiders, it is indeed impossible to solve the livelihood and survival of hundreds of millions of people.
The future and happiness and harmony of the country ultimately depend on the vast masses of the people to strive for themselves.
And in this process, these Daoist people can only try their best to escort the country and eliminate some external factors of trouble… …
Announced that the discussion had a conclusion, and today it will end here.
The next topic of saving the world will also follow this idea and continue to develop more detailed and specific topics for discussion.
After that, he announced the adjournment… …
It's just that, when Liang Yue got up and was about to leave, the old Celestial Master of this generation stopped him and said a few words of small talk. After everyone in the hall had left, he slowly led him to a secluded side hall.
As soon as he entered the door, there were already many people sitting in the room.
Liang Yue glanced around and found that almost all of the fellow Daoists in the room were the heads of various Daoist branches who had been in the main hall before.
As for the abbots, there were only three or four who were very profound in cultivation.
Those solo worldly Daoist friends, or reclusive practitioners like idle clouds and wild cranes, simply did not have one.
However, behind many abbots, there were one or two of their disciples standing with their hands down.
Next to the seat of the old Celestial Master, the two Zhang brothers were Liang Yue's former teammates.
Obviously, this is where these Daoist elites talk about serious matters~!
Liang Yue belonged to the newcomers, so after entering the room, he only greeted everyone, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then consciously sat quietly on the side, listening to the old qualifications of the abbots talking there.
After eavesdropping for a while, he came to his senses.
The people in this room were actually explaining their cultivation experience to each other, and even sharing some of the secret techniques they had created in their daily lives!
Of course, there is no problem in casually exchanging cultivation experiences and insights, but the creation of secret techniques is very difficult.
Therefore, when the people present were conducting this type of explanation, they only talked about the effects and ideas of their techniques.
When it came to the application and cultivation parts, they began to shut up.
Those who were really interested in a certain technique created by a fellow Daoist would need to exchange it with another secret technique or rare resources.
"Isn't this the market in the cultivation world, and that private trade fair?"
"This is interesting!"
"It can be used to exchange some of the unique cultivation theory books in this world with them."
"I didn't know how to bring this up originally, but now it's good, people have even prepared the channels!"
"However, compared to the exchange model that has already formed an industry and norms in the cultivation world, these Daoist friends are still too shy~"
