The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 133
Ergou had never been so depressed as at this moment.

Even before Shi Laodao blackmailed him with a thousand taels of gold, Ergou only felt a little distressed, but he never really took it to his heart.

When Ergou practiced martial arts with Chen Tongxie, he often heard stories about how the Taoist Sitiantai made things difficult for him and exploited him.Ergou was tricked when he came here before, which made him have a bad impression of Si Tiantai, thinking that this place is a place where he wants money.

Now, in front of Ergou, this old man gave a bunch of good things to this poor man named Liu Bao.

It's not that Ergou doesn't want to see other people's goodness, but that Shi Laozamao treats people differently too much.

As the saying goes, you don't worry about scarcity but inequality. No matter how awesome Master Si Tiantai is, if he exploits all the Demon Suppressors equally, we will tolerate it.

But looking at this posture, it seems that we have entered a world where only our master and apprentice of the Chen family are injured.

Why don't you wait for the miscellaneous Taoist priests to treat us, master and apprentice, harshly!
Liu Bao heard the two dogs shouting, but he was a little embarrassed, and said at a loss: "Master Dao, this..."

The old Taoist just waved his hand and said: "Don't pay attention to that guy, just take your belongings and go!"

Liu Bao didn't know what to say, so he retreated silently, but he never left, he just watched the situation from the sidelines.

The old man looked at Er Gou with a half-smile, and said, "You talk nonsense, you act like an old man, how can you be unfair?"

But Er Gou said confidently: "In the past, my master Chen Tong'e came here, even if he offered dozens of good leathers, but he never got back a single treasure for protection. So I went to your place and went through the back door. It's a big one." The leather is only made of a small hat. And I... don't talk about me! Now Brother Liu Bao only gives you a piece of rotten skin and dozens of copper coins, but you give him back these things This treasure is like giving away for free.

You old man, is this unfair? ! "

Liu Bao on the other side couldn't help nodding, it was indeed a bit unfair.

But the old Taoist said: "Well, boy, tell the old Taoist, what is fair and what is unfair?"

Ergou said without hesitation: "Naturally, how you exchange for others, you should be the same as our master and apprentice, and don't treat them differently. This is fair. As for unfairness, let me say, you have been doing it all the time." It's not fair to act!"

The old Taoist laughed loudly, and said: "The foolish opinion of such a short-sighted person is useless! Boy, let me ask you. If there is a rich family, the parents have raised three or five sons, and some of these sons are very rich. Skills, good at growing hair, and soon become rich; some sons are weak and stubborn by nature, even if they barely eat and clothe, it is difficult!
You said that if parents want to donate hundreds of dollars to help their sons, should they divide the money equally, regardless of whether they are poor or rich, or should they only share it with the poor as a subsidy? "

Ergou thought for a while and then said: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. There are advantages to equal division, and there are also reasons to partial division. It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

The old Taoist looked at Ergou with some admiration, and said: "If you are so old, let me tell you another example. There is a man who has learned good medical skills and is good at seeing and treating patients. He treats patients, but when the poor come, not only few With or without consultation fees, medicinal materials will be given away for free.

If rich people come to see a doctor, he will charge more consultation fees and sell medicines more expensively, which is almost a hundred times a thousand times more than the poor.

Do you think this doctor is fair or unfair? " Ergou argued with some lack of confidence: "This... this should be different from what you and others are doing, right? "

Shi Laodao shook his head and said, "Son! What Si Tiantai and I do is the same as that doctor's way of doing things. Treating people equally doesn't mean it's really fair. It's our consistent philosophy to get what we need.

Your master Chen Tong'e has been sending spirit skins to this rooftop for ten consecutive years. Doesn't he know that the gifts are in vain?No!He knew, he knew from the beginning, but he pretended not to know.Son of a bitch, do you know the reason for this? "

Er Gou already had some guesses in his mind, but he pretended to be confused and said: "I don't know, kid!"

The old Taoist sighed and said: "At that time, the Renzong Palace was over, and the overall strength of the Demon Suppressors suffered an unprecedented blow. Many young children had to take over the burden of the elders to face the demons before they grew up. Their strength Insufficient, you can only rely on the power of equipment to fight against demons, if you have no equipment, you have to use your own life to fill it.

Chen Laogui and many other top demon suppressors were the backbone of the demon suppressors at that time. Not only did he rely on his own force to frighten the world's demons, but he also provided Si Tiantai with a lot of spiritual materials, so that those young demon suppressors Man may have something to lean on in the face of demons. "

Er Gou felt a little sympathetic when he heard it, and Liu Bao next to him was even more moved to tears. At this time, he even felt that the baby he just got was not good.

Thinking about the demeanor of Mr. Chen who shouldered the responsibility of morality in the past, and looking at his impersonal master [Ling Guan Jiang], it is really enviable and jealous!

Ergou smiled and said, "So you treat my master differently, and there are such talkers in it! But I am ignorant and misunderstood you, old man."

The old Taoist said: "Boy, you only know one thing but not the other.

Not only because the demon-suppressing people suffered heavy losses during the Renzong Palace Incident, but also because in the past, we treated the demon-suppressing people differently.The powerful demon-suppressing people endured hardships and worked hard but rarely received any reward.But for those demon-suppressing people who are not strong enough, we support them wholeheartedly and selflessly provide them with treasures and skills. "

Ergou asked in surprise: "Why is this? Aren't you afraid that those powerful demon suppressors will feel unfair and alienate you?"

The old Taoist sighed and said, "Son, I know you want to say, why do you work harder to get more rewards to encourage the demon suppressors? But it can't be done! The way of heaven is to give more than what is damaged; the way of man is to give more than what is damaged Make up for the deficiency.

In the past, those who suppressed demons also followed the strategy of respecting the strong and gaining the most by the capable, but the consequences were devastating.

Later, our ancestors and sages changed to the policy of "the capable will do more work, and the weak will help more". It did cause a lot of turmoil at first, but time has proved that this is the most suitable strategy for us and other human beings.

At least from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, there has never been a rebellion and degeneration among the demon suppressers! "

Er Gou already had some understanding in his heart, but he still asked: "Why is this?"

The old Taoist explained: "Those who are able work more but don't get much, but those who have high fame and reputation refuse to join the job of suppressing demons. It is difficult for them to suffer, and they are easy to be tempted by evil spirits. Unburned..."
