Not only Li Shimin vaguely understood it, but the others also seemed to realize something.
The people here are indeed the most talented people in the world's civilization.
Even though he lacks cognition due to the times and his vision, his thinking ability is definitely not bad.
Ding Xiang's eyes moved away from Li Shimin and looked at the others. She said slowly, "The life of a mortal is only a few decades. It is so short. Most people are muddle-headed and waste their lives. However, there are some people who have ambitions, such as leaving their names in history, making their families prosperous, and achieving success. Such people will preserve themselves and spend their entire lives just for this."
Following Ding Xiang's words, many people fell silent.
They are thinking.
Whether or not you have such a self is something you need to pursue throughout your life.
Some people got the answer quickly.
For example, some talented people from aristocratic families know clearly that what they want is the prosperity of their family.
For example, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, as prime ministers of the time, naturally sought fame in part.
Of course, some people are also confused.
For example, Changsun Wuji.
He recalled that when he and his sister were kicked out of the Changsun family, he had been determined to make a name for himself, and even to get the title of the head of the Changsun family.
And now, his wish has become a reality. His sister is the queen of the time, and he has become an important figure.
However, it had been a long time since he had thought so deeply about what he wanted for the rest of his life.
Is it for power, fame, wealth, or just to prove yourself?
"If people have a self, they are different, but they have their own tendencies." Ding Xiang's voice continued, "The vast majority of people still seek wealth, power, and fame. These are the common desires of people. However, if everyone seeks these three things, everyone will compete for profit and it will not benefit the world. This is why there is a phenomenon of prosperity and decline, decline and prosperity again, and the replacement of dynasties."
After hearing the last sentence, Li Shimin was shocked.
My heart couldn't help but start beating fast.
Throughout history, the change of dynasties was nothing more than a struggle for financial power.
Take the early Sui Dynasty for example.
Yang Guang vie for fame and wanted to accumulate great achievements in his lifetime, but the benefits he fought for all came from the noble families and the people. As a result, people all rose up in rebellion, and the Sui Dynasty was destroyed.
However, even now, he cannot escape the struggle for profit. He has to compete with the aristocratic families and with the foreign races.
Looking further down, the aristocratic families also have to compete with the people for profit.
If one day, this struggle for profit reaches a point where it cannot be eased, and reaches a point where one side cannot accept it, then the world will inevitably be in chaos . This seems to be an unsolvable situation.
However, at this moment, the fairy explained the fundamental reason with the simplest truth.
It gave him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Even I vaguely felt that the fairy was going to teach me how to solve this problem that had been unsolved for thousands of years? Just thinking of this possibility, Li Shimin's heart couldn't stop beating.
This concerns the dynasty for thousands of years!
"Therefore, the reason for the development of civilization should be to guide the people themselves! Make it beneficial to the family, the people, and the country!" Ding Xiang did not keep the secret and directly threw out the most critical guidance in this step!
Because it may not be suitable.
Modernized systems have their own unique soil and are themselves in a state of constant improvement. Forcible transfer will only make everything a mess.
After all, this era is still the most primitive form of feudal civilization, with a cultivation system that cannot be ignored, and evil spirits that keep appearing! These are problems that do not exist in ordinary modern society.
Their future direction and their entire civilization system can only be determined by themselves through continuous exploration and development.
And Clove has to do it.
That is to lead them onto the path of development, and to instill the concept of "development" itself into them with the help of the identity of immortals.
now.
All the people looked up at the Lilac Fairy. Some of them blushed, some trembled all over, and some looked confused.
However, everyone felt that there seemed to be a door that had never existed before, slowly opening in front of them.
The whole place was silent, with only the sound of Ding Xiang.
"The method of guidance is like ideology and morality. It is not fixed and changes with cause and effect. Thinkers need to constantly seek it as the generations change. However, in today's world, I can give an example." Ding Xiang raised her hand, and another illusory image appeared. It was a scene of evil ghosts harming people. "Evil ghosts appear in the world, harming lives and spreading fear. Only the brave can defeat them by fighting with them with the art of controlling ghosts and protect the people with their own lives. Is this beneficial to the country and the people?"
People looked at the images of ferocious evil spirits.
Even though I know this is just an illusion, I still feel a chill.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the portrait.
Those were Cheng Yaojin and others.
They protected the people behind them and drove the evil spirits forward to fight. The place was filled with ghosts and was extremely dangerous.
And the scene changed again.
After a night of fighting, the evil ghost was killed, and the sun rose in the sky. The rescued villagers knelt down and kowtowed to Cheng Yaojin and others, their faces full of gratitude.
Even Cheng Yaojin, who usually looks carefree and ruffian, just smiled foolishly at this moment.
Everyone seemed to understand.
"This move is of course beneficial to the country and the people." Li Shimin said seriously, "We all admire his contribution."
"The Immortal Lord once said," Ding Xiang said slowly, "Ghost riders are born to meet disasters. Now that they have been granted the power, they should shoulder the safety of the people of the world. That is, only those who seek to protect the world can be ghost riders. You can announce your achievements to the world, erect a monument to commemorate them, so that people all over the world will know their achievements and know themselves, so that they will be respected and appreciated. With the addition of meritorious service and honor, there will surely be people who come after you who will yearn for you and regard you as themselves."
After hearing these words, many people were stunned.
The meaning of Dingxiang's words is very clear.
Since what these ghost riders do is beneficial to the country, they should be widely publicized so that people will know their greatness, their mission, and their merits. With the rewards of meritorious status, there will inevitably be people who are eager to join them and make protecting the people of the world their lifelong pursuit.
And this kind of behavior is the fairy mouth, guiding the people to self! Got it! This era is not short of talents who can draw inferences from one example. At this point, many people have already understood.
"Those who benefit the country and the people will get their positions." Kong Yingda murmured, unable to tell whether he was happy or confused.
