Chapter Seventeen The Great Teacher
February of the sixth year of Guanghe.
When Liu Chang was reading in the room, Zhao Xin walked in and said to Liu Chang: "Taoist Master Yang is here to visit."
Liu Chang said: "Since Taoist Master Yang is here to visit, please come over quickly."
After a while, Zhao Xin walked in with Yang Xu and an old man holding a nine-section staff. The old man had a natural look and a look of compassion in his eyes.
After seeing Liu Chang, Yang Xu bowed to Liu Chang and said with admiration: "Master Liu has built such a big foundation after only half a year of seeing him. He is really not an ordinary person."
Then he said to Liu Chang: "This is a great and good teacher. After hearing about Mr. Liu's reputation as a philanthropist, the great and good teacher came to see Mr. Liu."
The old man smiled and cupped his hands at Liu Chang and said: "I am a poor man. I heard that there is a young hero here in Julu, so I came here to have a look."
Liu Chang hurriedly saluted Zhang Jiao and said, "This junior should have gone to see the great virtuous teacher first. Please sit down quickly, great virtuous teacher."
So Liu Chang held Zhang Jiao's arm and asked him to sit on his chair.
Then, Liu Chang took out a cup from the cabinet next to him and poured Zhang Jiao a cup of tea.
He handed it to Zhang Jiao respectfully: "Great Master, you have worked hard all the way. Please have some tea." Then he took another cup and poured a cup of tea for Yang Xu. "Thank you, Taoist Master Yang, for your hard work too."
Zhang Jiao said: "Would you like to show me your camp?"
Liu Chang did not refuse: "I have nothing to do. I will take the great virtuous teacher to see you."
After speaking, Liu Chang led Zhang Jiao and Yang Xu out of the house.
Several people walked to the open space in front of Liu Chang's house. Liu Chang introduced to Zhang Jiao: "At the beginning, there were only four or five of us. We set up camp near Juli Lake. Gradually there were more people.
There was no room for so many people to live near Shuidian, so we found a flat and uninhabited place nearby to live, and gradually there were more and more people here."
After Zhang Jiao looked around, he said appreciatively: "What a blessing this place is."
Liu Chang was walking along a road with a few people. Liu Chang pointed to the wooden houses and an area mixed with tents and said: "Basically all the people who come now live here, and now there are more than 400 people living here.
Basically, several people live in a house or tent. Those who come as a family will live together, and if they come alone, we will arrange for a few people to share with them. Currently, there are not many houses built, and there are still many people living in tents.
Li."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "It is very difficult for people who have left their hometowns to find a place to settle down."
Liu Chang pointed to a few people walking around with sticks and said: "We have daily rations of food here. Basically everyone needs to work, whether it is to reclaim land, build houses, or cut down trees. Everyone has to work.
We have to go to work. These people are specially selected to maintain order."
Zhang Jiao kept praising Liu Chang and said: "It is already very good that you can arrange these properly."
The few people walked for a while, and Liu Chang pointed to two buildings and said: "I order everyone to go to the toilet at a fixed place. If someone does not follow the regulations, food will be deducted, and the feces can be used for compost. Although it is necessary to go to the toilet at a fixed place.
Toilets can also reduce the spread of diseases, but with this sanitary condition, they are basically a dead horse."
Zhang Jiao heard what Liu Chang said and comforted him: "Master Liu, don't be discouraged. It's really not easy for you to achieve this level."
Then Liu Chang took them outside the camp, where many people were working on the fields, reclaiming wasteland and planting crops.
Liu Chang introduced to Zhang Jiao: "We have reclaimed some land nearby, and the harvest was pretty good before. We are basically self-sufficient in food."
Liu Chang took the two of them to look around his camp.
Zhang Jiao said with emotion: "You are indeed a young hero. In just half a year, you can build such a camp here just by gathering refugees. There is a degree of relaxation and orderliness inside and outside the camp."
When Liu Chang heard the compliment, he said humbly: "The great sage and good teacher was so complimentary. I was just doing my best."
"Hey, it's good to think about trying your best. Which of the Gong Gongs in the court now can be like Mr. Liu? They are all corrupt people and have no regard for the life and death of the people in the world."
"I heard that the Great Master has been helping poor people. He is really kind-hearted."
"But all the sentient beings in this world can't be healed by just saving a few people. Heaven is merciless, and the unchanging Heaven cannot save sentient beings."
"Who can do this?"
"Who else would it be than me? Will Liu Shaoxia be willing to help me?"
"Then for whom is the changing sky for?"
"It's for the sake of all the people in the world."
"So how do we change the sky?"
"Of course the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand."
"Does the Great Master think there is a chance of success in this matter?"
"I have to give it a try. If I win, the yellow sky will replace the sky. If I lose, I will turn my body into a candle. It's just a dead ear, so why be afraid."
"In the past, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the first to raise the flag of righteousness, but they were all quickly wiped out."
"But the Qin Dynasty eventually died out, right? Someone has to take the first step."
"Since the great sage and mentor also knows that this matter is very dangerous, then why bother to involve me?"
When Zhang Jiao heard what Liu Chang said, he no longer persuaded Liu Chang to join him. Instead, he said to Liu Chang: "I have a volume of Taiping Qingling Shu, are you willing to learn it?"
"I have the art of slaying dragons. I can help people in danger, save the world, and bring peace to the world."
"It is always good to learn more. I will stay here for a few days and pass you the Taiping Qingling Book. If you are willing, you can also tell me about your dragon-slaying skills."
"It's an honor for me that the great virtuous teacher is willing to stay here for a few days, and I know everything about it."
Zhang Jiao stayed at Liu Chang's place. In the next few days, Zhang Jiao explained to Liu Chang every day his understanding of the Taiping Qingling Book, the various experiences he gained during his preaching, and his knowledge of medicine.
Understanding of the world. Liu Chang also told Zhang Jiao his understanding of land annexation, dynasty changes, and class struggle. Both of them benefited a lot from the several days of exchanges.
Finally, when the great virtuous teacher is about to leave.
Liu Chang said sincerely to Zhang Jiao: "This trip is bound to fail. The great virtuous teacher should consider it carefully."
"Although you are urging me to act with caution, I can see that you are actually waiting for me to raise the flag of justice. Your eyes reveal ambition, and your chest is burning with desire. You are waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
, and I am this opportunity."
"Great Master, I..."
Liu Chang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhang Jiao: "No need to say it, I know. But we must give the people of the world a chance to live. If you can't do it, I will go. I just hope that I will become a queen with my life.
