Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 473 The Su Family is Very Sober

People must learn how to control themselves, and then control what they want to control. This is how the world is. As long as there are people, there will be classes and power. If you don't cross the class and gain power, you will inevitably become an oppressed person at the bottom.

That ideal world of great harmony cannot exist. Otherwise, you can see that China’s gods and Buddhas have classes, and foreign Gods also have classes. As long as there are people, there are classes.

Those who say they don't have it are just blurring the concept. The privileges they exercise are granted by that class. Otherwise, if you look at the working people, they always pay the price for everyone's responsibility and courage. The so-called equality of all beings is just a creed that some people are willing to pay.

The sufferings of the world are human, and the beauty of heaven is heaven. How can you experience it without crossing it? Otherwise, you will feel that having enough food and clothing for three meals a day is the top priority in your life, and nothing else is important.

Su He's brothers recalled that when they were young, they worked hard to survive in order to have two full meals. At that time, the whole family had no time to think about other things, and they just tried their best to find food.

They finally came to the capital step by step, and they would not let themselves fall back to where they were. They wanted to pass the imperial examinations, seek welfare for the people, bring wealth to the family, and do good things within their ability. They now did not think that these two things were contradictory. If they did not have money, how could they control their greed?

As long as the money comes from a clean source, they are rich, the people are rich, and the land is rich, then there is nothing wrong with that. They never think that poverty is a virtue, that is the biggest lie.

They now know how to be roundabout, just like if General Wang An did not do business and farm himself, how would the people and the army in the city live. They also know that the emperor of Ansheng is not incompetent, otherwise the imperial examination would not be so easy, and the official career would become a business.

Officials must be honest and incorruptible, but they cannot be corrupt, otherwise how can their families live? If they struggle in poverty, then the people will suffer too! Then this official cannot be called a good official, at most he is a confused official.

Su He and his brothers have made great progress in their studies, and the three of them have become more confident and stronger. Confidence is naturally due to the good teaching of the teacher, and strength is of course due to their own good training. Both their physical and mental strength have improved.

Their family now eats well, and can buy delicacies from all over the country. They use good things. Now that they have money, Su He can buy things as much as she wants. She never treats her family badly. She earns money to spend, and she must first ensure her own expenses.

Secondly, she would help others, but she had to give them equal value. She never gave them free help. She would never let it happen that a little bit of kindness was repaid with a big bit of resentment. The essence of human nature did not need to be tested. There were too many examples in the past and present, and she was unwilling to try.

She would not use her hard-earned money to exchange for others' praise. Reputation is not the most important thing to her. Equality and mutual benefit are the most long-term way to get along.

It is precisely because of Su He's philosophy that she does not become a pushover and does not encounter so many bad things.

The Su family also thought this was good, so they never got into trouble for saving people. Even if they ran into those people, they would not be attracted and unable to get rid of them.

Some candidates from the prefectural capital came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, and the Su brothers also met people to seek refuge with. Many people thought that fellow townsmen would take each other in, so they came to them.

The three brothers Su He handled it very well. They sent these people to a large courtyard that Su He had prepared for the orphans. It was well maintained there, and someone was already there teaching the orphans skills and literacy.
