Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 524 Shui Jing asks General Yuan three times
"Don't worry, I came here to see Mr. Sima, not to entertain!!" Yuan Yao returned the courtesy.

"Okay!!" Sima Hui's eyes suddenly shot brightly, and he nodded, "He is indeed the person I was waiting for!! If so, please follow me into the room and talk about it in detail!"

Sima Hui, who looked like an old country farmer just now, seemed to be a different person all of a sudden. With his long snow-white hair against his rosy face, he had an indescribably fairy-like feeling.

As soon as one step into the seemingly ordinary thatched hut, a kind of fresh air rushes to the face, which makes people feel refreshed and peaceful, as if there is an invisible aura in this hut, nourishing For everyone who steps inside!
In fact, what Yuan Yao didn't know was that every arrangement of this hut, which seemed random, was actually the result of Sima Hui's careful arrangement, all of which coincided with the mystery between heaven and earth!
After several people sat down in the hut, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to see Sima Hui and enter his house means that Sima Hui has basically been recognized!Next, as long as there are no accidents, Sima Hui should be invited down the mountain.

"Mr. Sima, I heard what you said just now, you have already arrived and we are coming?" Yuan Yao asked curiously.

"Yes! But this is just a trivial skill! It's not worth mentioning!" Sima Hui said.

"I also heard that Mr. Sima recently donated all the things in his home to others. Why?" Yuan Yao asked again.

"I look at the sky and know that I will leave this place in the next few days. Otherwise, something bad will happen to me, so I gave the things that I can't take away to the villagers! I was still wondering who would come, but I didn't expect It turned out to be Duke Yuan!" Sima Hui said.

"Well..., I understand. It seems that the meeting between you and me is a fate destined by heaven. In this case, please don't refuse, Mr. Sima. Please come out and help me to seek a great cause together!" Yuan Yao bowed his hands in awe. road.

Sima Hui stroked his long snow-white beard and said with a smile, "I have three questions. If Mr. Yuan answers correctly, I am willing to go down the mountain and do my best for Mr. Yuan!"

"What if my answer is incorrect? Could it be...?" Yuan Yao said.

"Hehe! If Duke Yuan is indeed a man of destiny, he will be able to answer the question, don't worry!" Sima Hui said.

"Okay, please ask Mr. Sima!" Yuan Yao cupped his hands.

The atmosphere in the hut suddenly became tense, Yuan Yao's face was serious, and he secretly prayed to Sima Hui not to ask too difficult questions, otherwise if he failed, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

The nervousness was not only caused by Yuan Yao, even Xu Shu and Yang Wu, who sat beside Yuan Yao, seemed a little nervous.

Sima Hui saw Yuan Yao's expression, nodded, and asked the first question.

"Yuan Gong, do you think war is right or wrong? If one day you can unify the world, will you make war disappear?"

Yuan Yao was stunned. He didn't expect Sima Hui to ask this question. This question is not difficult to say, even a three-year-old child can answer it, but it is not easy to say. Even after 2000, no one will answer it. Can give an answer that everyone agrees with.

He doesn't know how to answer is the most correct, but obviously, if he answered that war is wrong like a three-year-old child, he will definitely not be recognized by Sima Hui!

Not to mention anything else, if he wants to say that war is wrong, then what he is doing now, and what he will be doing in the future, is war. Can he say that he is wrong?If it is wrong, let him immediately surrender to the enemy and let the enemy unite the world?
This is obviously impossible. If you answer like this, at least it shows that he is hypocritical. Only on this point, Yuan Yao dares to conclude that Sima Hui will not follow him!
"There is no right or wrong in war, and it is not necessarily wrong to initiate a war. If one day, I can unify the world, I can't guarantee that war will disappear, and I won't go against the natural development and interfere artificially. I can't guarantee that I will not start a war again! In my opinion, wars are everywhere, and since I stopped a war in one aspect, it is likely to trigger a bigger war in other aspects!!" Yuan Yao said.

Sima Hui nodded and said, "Well said! If I had chosen war, maybe my family would not have died because of the invisible war!! Okay, next is the second question!"

Yuan Yao was overjoyed. He didn't expect to pass the first question so easily. He just changed the theory of relativity and answered it based on his inner thoughts.

Sima Hui asked again: "As a human being, should we pursue a luxurious life, a prominent reputation, and a respected status, or should we pursue a simple life, hiding in the wild and not being known?"

As soon as Yuan Yao heard this question, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "It's broken, how should I answer this question?"

If Yuan Yao replied that he should pursue Sima Hui's current life, it would be against his will!

His dream is to wake up and take over the power of the world, lie drunk on the lap of a beauty, change this troubled world, rewrite the tragic history of the Han nationality, compose an eternal myth, and let his name be passed down forever! !
"Mr. Sima, at the beginning of Tao Te Ching, it says that Dao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, and very famous. This is probably what I want to say! I believe that everyone wants to pursue a luxurious life, but One must understand that what people pursue is life, the life they want, not luxury for the sake of luxury. The same is true for status and fame. It is not the purpose of pursuit, but naturally produced when pursuing dreams. Yes, we can accept it, but status should not be for the sake of status, fame should be for the sake of fame! Nor should simplicity be for the sake of simplicity! In short, the deep meaning cannot be explained clearly in a few words!" Yuan Yao said.

The strange color in Sima Hui's eyes became more and more obvious. He nodded and smiled, and asked again: "Mr. Yuan, the next question is the last one. Listen carefully!"

"Okay! Please come up with a question!" Yuan Yao couldn't help being shocked when he received Sima Hui's affirmative answer, knowing that the second question had also passed Sima Hui's test.

"Yuan Gong, I heard that you are now vigorously developing the population and encouraging your subordinates to have children. Aren't you afraid that these extra babies will consume a lot of your food and take up a lot of your resources? You don't worry about getting more money from the land. Is the food produced in the world not enough to eat? I heard that in some places, newborn babies were strangled to death because they were worried about not having enough food!" Sima Hui said.

"Hehe! To outsiders, it is completely ridiculous that I not only pay the poor to marry their wives, but also pay them to support them. But I am actually making money and developing! When the population increases, although The initial investment is a bit large, but the subsequent harvest will be even greater! If there is not enough food, you can plant more land, and if there is not enough land, you can let the land obtain higher yields!"

"If this is not enough, there are still people who are idle. I can use them to wage wars, get more land, and let these idle people invent more technologies. I believe that quantitative changes can only lead to qualitative changes! And all of this , I believe that with the joining of Mr. Sima and Mr. Sima's intelligence, we will have more food, more technology, and the Han people will have stronger vitality!" Yuan Yao said.
