People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 453: What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth! Ordinary people also understand

Of course there is a reason why the blind man said this, it's very simple.

In fact, what he said was intended to tell the villagers.

I know exactly what you are thinking.

After all, to be honest, what do you really need? What are you facing now? I know all of them.

Let's speak frankly and don't hide anything.

Guo Feixue also told us that it is our responsibility to explain these things to you clearly. Since no one has thought about hiding anything, and you are also afraid that the court or the government will make some other demands on you, then everyone should tell you about the topics that you are worried about one by one.

The blind man said that what you know now is not what we need you to understand clearly now. There is not the slightest concealment and not the slightest intention to deceive.

This is the attitude of the Saint now.

Since the imperial court has such a good national policy, I hope everyone can have a relatively satisfactory harvest from this national policy.

So that everyone can live a better life.

Then why do we have to be so fussy?

The blind man said, "Of course some of you think that's what you think. It's very simple.

You are afraid or worried that your fields and land were not included in the road construction plan, but you saw your neighbor's fields and land or house were included and compensated, and you became rich overnight, right?"

When he said this next time, many of the villagers below immediately looked away.

Everyone has this worry. As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

They all knew that if a road was built to the entrance of their village, it would be impossible for everyone to receive the compensation.

But what should I do if my family does not receive compensation but my neighbor’s family does?
This is their biggest concern.

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, many people exposed the problems they were most worried about.

Perhaps for them, it would be better to let other villagers get rich overnight.

It would be better to let all the villagers suffer like me.

If you say it this way, you won't feel so unbalanced in your heart, and you won't watch others get rich while you still live a miserable life.

If this is the case, it would be better for everyone to not live a good life and live in misery.

Why is it said that living in the village is actually a great form of spiritual practice?

Because everyone has their own interests to pursue, and everyone has their own little thoughts.

Just because of this little thought, it can actually prevent the development of many big things.

Many important things may become very difficult to advance because of a little selfishness.

There are many such things, and because of this, the blind man can immediately know what these people are thinking.

Because the blind man has traveled all over the country and has met countless people, he understands the selfish thoughts in these people's hearts very well.

They are afraid that their neighbors will have a better life than they do.

I am afraid that my future life will not be as good as my neighbors’.

I am also afraid that if I don’t live a good life, I will be laughed at by others.

It may be more painful for a neighbor to become rich overnight than for him to live a hard life.

So the blind man knew exactly what they were thinking, so he said, "Of course, no one says this idea is wrong. After all, we are all from the same village. How can he become rich overnight while I still have to live the same life as before? It is normal to feel unbalanced.

To be honest, ordinary people like you and me, who doesn’t want to live a better life?

Who doesn’t want to live a better life than others?

If we are not saints, we cannot expect all of us to be able to remain calm and peaceful while seeing others getting rich while our own lives are still miserable.

So I understand what you are thinking.

I understand more that it is not wrong to think this way, it is normal.

People are all like this. Not to mention ordinary people like you, even officials would feel unbalanced if they saw their colleagues suddenly get promoted.

Those scholars who read the books of sages all day long still think like this, let alone ordinary people like us. Why can't we have such thoughts? I think it's very normal."

After the blind man said this, everyone felt relieved.

He smiled and said, "Of course, we are all normal people."

"If you are a normal person, you will have such thoughts. If you have such thoughts, you should satisfy all the demands of us. You can't let one family suddenly become rich and let everyone drool at the corners of their mouths while watching."

Of course, sometimes it is even more difficult to accept that a family is obviously lazy and gluttonous, but one day they suddenly become rich because their house is being demolished, which is even more unbalanced.

Although this is a matter of luck, God is so unfair that he always triggers some unexpected events.

This is especially true in today's circumstances.

If the interests of everyone cannot be balanced, the road cannot be built.

The people would rather block such a road outside the village than let them in.

Because of imbalance.

Why are they so lazy and gluttonous while I work so hard all day long but live worse than them? How can I live like this?

The blind man suddenly said such considerate words, which immediately made many people present have a better impression of him.

Because the blind man said what was in their hearts.

After all, we are all normal people and it is impossible for us to think like a saint.

It is impossible to take care of everything, and it is also impossible to sacrifice the interests of one's own family to make other families live better.

This is not something a normal person should do, nor is it something a normal person can do.

Since we are all normal people, let's not bring up thoughts that are beyond what normal people think.

So at this time, the common people actually had a good impression of the blind man.

After hearing his words, other people in the martial arts world also gave the blind man a thumbs up.

Although many people in the martial arts world are knowledgeable, the only ones who can understand the knowledge and thoughts of ordinary people like a blind man are probably the fortune tellers.

These fortune tellers make a living from this, so they can tell exactly what people are thinking. What is their pulse like? They can tell exactly what it is.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Feixue asked these people from the martial arts world to go out.

Especially the fortune tellers were gathered together and asked to explain clearly to the people what the current situation is.

And now it has indeed achieved very good results. This is what it should be like in order to make the people give up those ideas one by one and make them accept it in their hearts.

After Chen Han and Guo Feixue understood the people, some people finally started asking questions.

"Since you have said so much, sir, you should know how to make our lives better.

Just like you said, since we are all ordinary people, the little tricks in our minds are actually the same.

Let's be frank with each other. Now, everyone wants to live a good life.

But as you said, if only ordinary one or two households benefit from the road construction.

But most people don’t get this benefit, so what should we do?
We can’t just sit there and watch them get rich and enjoy the good life while we have to suffer.”

Thinking of this, everyone started talking about it.

But some people are unhappy.

Especially those families living at the entrance of the village, very close to the official road, kept saying it in their hearts.

My goodness, these are the wealth we should have, but now you have to tell us these one by one at this time.

Is it to tell others that if we want to get this windfall, we have to pay a price?
We are destined to have this windfall. If you don't, it's because you are unlucky. It's not our problem.

So at this time, you can see that some people have begun to split.

They might even start fighting among themselves.

After all, this is a big matter that concerns whether his family can get rich in the future.

So this time it’s not the same problem as before.

Although the blind man did not see with his own eyes what these people were saying, he actually had very sharp ears.

He could hear clearly what these ordinary people were talking about in private.

Sure enough, I heard a lot of people talking below.

"That won't do, our families are all at the entrance of the village, and we all face the official road.

If we build a road, we don’t know how to build it, but once we build it, it should be built along the original official road.

In that case, they should have occupied our fields and land, and our house, demolished our house, and requisitioned our fields and land. Why are we foolishly following them to do this? We should have agreed to it.”

"That's right. Now I understand what the blind man said. This is the truth.

But how can we tell the officials that they can seize our land, our fields, our houses, and then give us money, and others should not care about anything else? It’s just something we can say.

And what the blind man said is right. What everyone is most afraid of now is that we get it and they don’t.

If we continue to be so prominent, I believe everyone can unite to stop the road construction plan. "

It's true that those common people are not ordinary people. Each of them has land and farmland. They are not wandering around like those gangsters. They are capable.

So I immediately noticed the key point.

I know very well that if I don't calm down now and only think about myself, they will definitely not let it go.

They might even come out to block the road construction plan, and then everything would be ruined.

Then someone else said, "But if they really took our land and we got compensation, do we have to share it with them?"

When he heard that the task would be shared among a lot of people, he immediately shook his head.

"That's not okay. Why should we give it to them? My fields, my land, and my house were demolished, and I should get compensation. Isn't that what I should do?"

When they said this, the families at the entrance of the village began to look at others with unfriendly eyes.

I guess he is saying in his heart, why should I give it to you? That’s my field, that’s my land, why should I give it to you?
But some people quietly said, "But if we don't divide it, those people will definitely not give up.

Besides, even if we don’t share, don’t they want a share when the road is being built?

I guess everyone would say first that we are all from the same village, so even if these fields and lands were allocated to us, and then we were compensated after they were occupied, then all the villagers should share them together.

Do you believe it or not? "

"Also, if we don't divide the money, we won't be able to spend it once it's in our hands."

When someone said this, everyone immediately became nervous.

In fact, everyone knows why this happened. It is simply because there are only one or two families affected, but hundreds of families in the entire village have not benefited. Can they let it go?
Can they just watch themselves get rich?

"Now let's see what this blind man has to say. Let's not speak first, so as not to appear like we are all just silver at this time, without the common people or fellow villagers."

"As I said before, calm down, calm down. Everything should be calm. Before things get tough, we all need to calm down."

After hearing what the man said, everyone immediately understood.

I still need to calm down now, otherwise what he said will really happen.

If these people don't get any so-called benefits in the end, they will not give up.

Even if the government wants to build this road, what can we do?
The price of building this road is that it may make everyone unhappy.

That is why everyone is standing here and listening carefully to what this blind man is saying.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears.

And most importantly what?
There can't be any mistakes here. If we can't reach an agreement on this matter and the road is built bypassing our village, then everything will be in vain.

After understanding this, it is right for everyone to be so cautious.

When I thought of this, the blind man started talking.

“Although building a road won’t make all of you rich and live a good life, the government will give some compensation to the rest of you after the road is built.

Although this compensation will not be the same amount as the people whose fields and houses have been occupied, I can guarantee you that your life will be better in the future.

I hope you can understand that after all, others have occupied your fields, your land, and your house. If you can’t even understand this so-called common sense, then you don’t need to live.”
