Ji Tang

Chapter 760 Laughter
At this time, you could hear needles dropping in the lobby, and no one expected that a banquet would actually lead to a discussion about Tao.

Ji Song's "I seek my own way, the way of heaven is the way of humanity, study things to gain knowledge, manage the world and benefit people."If humanity is prosperous, then all industries will prosper; if the people are safe, then everything will prosper.

This brought the banquet to a climax. This was the first time that Ji Song showed his way in front of others, but this way made them sit on pins and needles.

That is the way of humanity and the way of heaven. It is also the way to govern the world, and it is also the way to govern a country. It is not something that a person with great wisdom would not say.

Compared with Ji Song's Tao, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism seems much more ridiculous.

What is Buddhism and Taoism fighting for?
They are fighting for the right to speak and for interests.

As for Ji Song, he was doing his own thing subtly and accomplished so many things quietly.

They are also thinking, where are they?

Is it to kill the enemy to serve the country or to hope that the family will prosper forever?
"Ji Hou's words are so shocking that they are no better than an old man!" Yuan Tiangang sighed.

Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief, but it was his fault to let an old man say this. He said warmly: "Taoist Master Dao Ziyi didn't dare to say it at first. No matter what the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is, after all, it is to teach the world to be good. This idea Yi absolutely dare not deny it.”

"Existence has its own truth. Although Buddhism is a foreign sect, after so many years of continuous improvement, it has long been inseparable from the culture of the Central Plains. Master Xuanzang has been gone for many years, and he must have brought back the Tao he wanted. Take the essence from the dross, and this is an upward process."

"The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, and can accommodate all sects that lead people to do good. But it is also impossible for one sect to dominate. This is the result of the changes in people's mentality in China since ancient times."

"Nothing is static, and nothing lasts forever, so temporary gains and losses don't mean anything."

"The current prosperity of Buddhism is the result of Xuanzang's more than ten years of suffering, and it is also the result of Buddhist speculation. If Taoism wants to prosper, it can only go out and see the world. This world is so big that it is unimaginable. .Putting it in the universe, we are more like a speck of dust. Standing still is a recipe for death, and not moving forward is a recipe for death."

He pondered for a moment and said: "The weather should be good tonight. If Taoist Priest has nothing to do, come to the east gate city wall. There may be the answer you want."

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Song with excited eyes and said, "Is this what Ji Hou said true?"

"It is definitely true, but the result you want may be different from the fact. As for what Taoist priest will decide in the future, Ji Song will tell you this!"

"Okay, okay, Ji Hou's words are shocking. Today's meeting is worthwhile and worthwhile!"

Yuan Tiangang laughed loudly. Today's goal was achieved, and everything was unspoken.There is no exchange of interests, no intrigues, just words from the bottom of my heart!

"Can Taoist Master drink this glass of wine now?" Ji Song pointed to the wine glass still on the table and said with a smile.

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I'll drink this cup full, everyone, please!"

Looking around with the wine glass in hand, everyone also raised their glasses and drank to victory!
"Taoist Priest, you are old and drinking alcohol is not good for your health. This is the sea cucumber soup that I made specially for you. Please don't dislike it."

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Song with an extremely soft look, and said warmly: "Ji Hou has such a heart, I am very happy, I am so shameless."

After saying that, he picked up the small bowl and ate it all in one gulp. His eyes lit up and he said, "One more bowl!"

Don’t stop until you’ve had three bowls! “It’s such a good thing, fresh but not greasy, it’s a really good thing!”

Pingyang laughed at the side and said: "This sea cucumber is the best in the sea. It is known as ginseng on the ground. It is an excellent tonic. I asked him for it several times but was rejected. He said that it is a waste of people and money and should not be eaten in excess. I am angry. I blame him a lot."

Yuan Tiangang was stunned and said: "Then isn't this the old Taoist's fault? Ji Hou fell in love with the wrong person!"

Ji Song didn't take it seriously and said: "Taoist priest, you don't have to be like this. Princess, she just wants to satisfy her appetite. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have it. You are old, so it won't stop you from eating some of these things."

"Now the people along the coast have made a lot of money relying on these top-quality seafood. If no one eats it, who will sell it to the people? However, this requires fishermen who are proficient in water properties to go into the sea alone to catch it, which is a bit dangerous, so I just Some restaurants in Chang'an sell it and stipulate that it is not allowed to sell more. This is also to prevent fishermen from fishing excessively, causing prices to fall and making them more dangerous."

"As soon as the price drops, there will be more people eating. In order to maintain their original income, people will take risks and fish frequently, which may cost lives."

Ji Song sighed. This matter can be banned for a while. When the people react, if they want to get more, they will definitely go to sea. In this way, the price will inevitably plummet.

This is due to human nature, and it cannot be banned without prohibition.

But the advantages of this move outweigh the disadvantages. After all, it gives them a way to survive. As for how long it can last, let's wait and see!
Facing Ji Song's words, everyone and Yuan Tiangang were deeply shocked.I didn’t expect that a small sea cucumber could be involved in so many things?
"You have a heart."

Yuan Tiangang sighed: "Human nature is greedy, and this thing cannot be controlled at all. But after all, it is good for the people. Even if it is flawed, we cannot stop eating because of choking."

Everyone actually understands this truth. Some things cannot be stopped just because they are harmful. This is wrong and narrow-minded.

"Is it better for me to eat more or less?" Pingyang asked in confusion.

Ji Song and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other and laughed.

I didn’t expect Pingyang to have such a cute side?Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "All things are created to nourish people. We still have to eat. We can't stop eating because of choking. Just let nature take its course."

"Yes, this matter is actually caused by my selfishness. I just hope that this matter happens as late as possible, so that they can live a peaceful life for a few years."

"The people are ignorant, but they have their own wisdom for survival. My interference is in vain, and I don't know whether it is good or bad. But it must not be bad. As for the future, just like the Taoist priest said, let nature take its course!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Song said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, everyone. Today I am cooking in person, so you can take it orally now."

"Without further ado, let's eat and drink. We've had enough food and wine today. I hope you all have a great time!"

"Okay, you're a big boy, so don't be polite, everyone. This guy is rich and can't live without his food. If you don't have your family with you, go home and ask for someone. This kind of banquet is rare. If you miss this time, you won’t know when the next time will be." Cheng Yaojin stood up and said loudly.

"Come on, second brother Qin, let's drink."

"Get lost!" Qin Qiong said angrily,

You knew you couldn't drink, but didn't you see your son watching?Simply unworthy of a son of man.

For a time, the entire banquet was full of laughter, the sound of wine fighting, the sound of flower fists, and laughter.
