Even though Qingxuan can be considered to be the best now, in front of Li Changsheng, he is still like the child who escaped into the mountain temple.
"But being sinless does not mean being faultless. You only know that the way of heaven is to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency, but you don't know that the way of man is to take away the deficiency and serve the surplus."
People are always greedy. These 500 million dan of grain were not taken by one person. Instead, there were dozens of big rats snatching in the front and tens of thousands of small rats stealing in the back.
The upper level follows the lower level, you take a little and I take a little, and everyone thinks it's okay. This is the most common form of exploitation. Greed is inevitable. If there is a problem, we should remedy it. Those who should be punished should be punished, and those who should be killed should be killed.
"Xiao Dao knows his mistake."
Qingxuan bowed his head and did not make any excuses from beginning to end.
He had many reasons to defend himself, and many things had nothing to do with him. But in the end, it was his duty, and human life did not allow for the slightest excuse.
"Please give me another chance to make amends."
Li Changsheng asked: "What should you do next?"
"The rule of separating immortals from mortals will be abolished, and worldly affairs will be temporarily handled by the cultivation world. There is corruption among cultivators, but no matter how greedy a cultivator is, he will never covet the food of mortals."
Hearing Qingxuan's answer, Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked directly into the other's eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Are you really sure? This is a land of thousands of miles, can you manage it all?"
Governing a country is a delicate job. If you are not careful, it may affect countless people and the harm to the world will be no less than the slaughter by demons.
"Now that disaster has struck, it is difficult for the mortal dynasty to shoulder the responsibility, and only we monks can take it up. You said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and we monks should shoulder this responsibility."
Qingxuan's words were filled with distrust of the Mortal Dynasty.
This corruption incident made Qingxuan very angry, and he wanted to kill all the officials. But the reality did not allow him to do so, because the world still needed people to govern.
The most they could do was to kill the leaders and leave the rest alive, namely, to kill the emperor, princes, nobles, high-ranking officials of the court, etc.
"There are 20 cities, 1,563 counties, and tens of thousands of villages in the Wu Dynasty. Each city is assigned a Jindan, and each county is assigned a foundation-building master. Additional monks are assigned based on the number of local people. Let the monks supervise the government, put an end to corruption, and avoid famine."
Qingxuan was obviously well prepared. He took out the plan and speech he had prepared long ago and explained them to Li Changsheng one by one. He made clear arrangements from supervision to people's livelihood and flood prevention.
The Spirit Treasury will distribute spirit stones according to the merits of the monks, and the monks will be rotated every three years. At the same time, the elders of Shangqing Palace will make secret visits from time to time to supervise the monks.
In essence, the emperor and the court were replaced by monks, and the rest did not change much, it was still the original government. But just this small change could bring about earth-shaking changes in the world.
The interests of cultivators are different from those of ordinary people, so naturally there is no problem of competing with ordinary people for profits. A foundation-building cultivator will not risk his head for some yellow and white things, even if they are greedy for pleasure in the mortal world, it is better than the previous Wu Dynasty.
No matter how greedy you are, you should not be greedy for food. It is more important than anything else for the people to have food to eat.
After listening to Qingxuan's story, Li Changsheng asked, "What if the disciples of Shangqing Palace make mistakes?"
There are too many temptations in the world of mortals. Perhaps monks do not care about yellow and white things, but there are more than just yellow and white things in the mortal world. Power and sex are also hard to resist.
At the same time, the Mortal Dynasty also has some spiritual objects, but compared to the cultivation world, they are very few. It is precisely because of this that the Mortal Dynasty can invite some monks to serve as offerings.
With power, wealth and beauty, it is inevitable that someone will make mistakes.
But the relationship between sects is complicated. Xiao Qi was sent to Shangqing Palace by himself when he was young. He is not blood relative to other disciples, but he is blood relative. It is difficult for people to give up their feelings when living in this world, and the same is true for monks. They also have various interpersonal relationships.
There are very few, or almost no, people in the world who are truly free.
"No mercy for the killing."
Qingxuan answered decisively.
Li Changsheng sighed and said, "Come to me when the time comes and I will help you kill them. Only by killing them can they be convinced that you are their leader."
In the next few days, the two discussed how to manage the world in the future, and a small wooden boat determined the future pattern of Kyushu.
The separation between immortals and mortals that lasted for a thousand years collapsed during the question and answer between the two, and Shangqing Palace officially took over the Wu Dynasty.
Finally the boat docked and there was a fishing village in the distance.
Li Changsheng got off the boat and walked along the path towards the fishing village.
Qing Xuan asked from behind: "Master, where are you going?"
"Heal the disease and save lives."
A calm and gentle voice came along with the spring breeze. On the small path in the mountain village, a Taoist priest in green clothes, carrying a medicine basket and a sword, walked back into the world of mortals.
Because the world was sick again, he went down the mountain.
3,000 years ago, a wandering hermit traveled around the world, practicing medicine to save lives, spreading medical skills, and treating plagues for hundreds of years.
At that time, the medical skills in Kyushu were like those in the wilderness. The wandering herbalists in the mountains did not know any medical skills, but as they saved more people and took more herbs, they naturally summed up some new ideas.
However, at that time he was just a wanderer in the mountains, who could only save the people around him but not the whole world.
1300 years ago, the Lord of the Killing Sword conquered the world, slayed all ghosts and monsters, and traveled across the land of Kyushu to bring peace again.
He was not good at fighting, but he was invincible when he killed many people. The immortal sects in the Nine Provinces and the tens of thousands of cultivators in the world were no match for his sword.
However, at that time he had the power to turn the world upside down, but he did not have the authority to protect people and the world. He could save the world, but he could not save the people in front of him.
Now Li Changsheng has stepped into the mortal world again, carrying the medicine basket of the medical immortal and the sword of the master of the killing sword.
Save the people around you, and save the world.
