Only a month has passed this year, and three people have committed crimes and been demoted to the mortal world, it seems that the supervision of this heavenly court is still too lax. After this while, I'll discuss it with Sanqing and Li Tianwang. The Jade Emperor muttered to himself.
Speaking of the mortal world, I haven't seen it for thousands of years, and I don't know what happened to the world. I want to go to the world to see, Jade Emperor, what do you think?The Queen Mother asked.
The world is like that, it's very bitter, and many people still can't eat, or even have nothing to eat, so they can only dig wild vegetables and eat leaves. Otherwise, why were those immortals so scared when they heard that they had been demoted to the lower realm?It is no exaggeration to say that the world is the hell of the gods. ”
Is it so exaggerated?Over the years, I have often heard that there have been several great sages in the world, speaking for the people, and there are many lords of benevolence, holy emperors and emperors, why are the common people still suffering?I don't believe it. ”
If you don't believe it, don't feel bad after reading it. The Jade Emperor said.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and saw the world directly. She looked at one place, and then another, and looked at more than a dozen places in a row, suddenly closed her eyes, and said with some surprise: "Jade Emperor, how can this be?"It's actually ......There are still people who will starve to death!It's ......It's unbelievable. ”
I told you earlier, you want to see it. ”
I never thought that the world would be so bitter. Jade Emperor, I make a decision, winter is coming, don't snow tomorrow morning, change to rice noodles, a grain of rice or a piece of flour, when you reach the world, you can become ten catties of rice and noodles, on average, each family must have a hundred grains of rice noodles, so that each family will have more than 1,000 catties of rice noodles, and they should be able to live a good life. In addition, I will go to the lower realm tomorrow and go to the human world to see what is going on. ”
Niangniang, you are a senior, it stands to reason that I shouldn't stop you, but if you do this, I'm afraid it won't help. Maybe it will make the world even worse. The Jade Emperor said.
But the Queen Mother no longer paid attention to the Jade Emperor and went straight back to Yaochi. She didn't go far, she turned her face and glared at the Jade Emperor fiercely, as if she was very angry with the Jade Emperor, why didn't she care if the people lived or died.
The next morning, watching the Heavenly Palace replace the snowflakes with rice noodles, the Queen Mother felt a little relieved. She explained the people left and right, and then went down from the Nantian Gate.
When she fell into the world, the Queen Mother heard the sound of ecstasy in her ears.
Wow, there is rice in the sky, there are so many grains of rice, God has opened his eyes, thank God, thank the Jade Emperor, thank the Queen Mother, thank you Taishang Laojun ......The man kowtowed and thanked the slowly falling rice.
I'm not dreaming, am I?It's not snowing today, it's flourMoreover, this flour is so heavy, I'm afraid that there are more than ten catties, and this piece is enough for me to eat for many days!God, you've finally opened your eyes, I've lived to be 60 years old, and I haven't eaten a few wheat breads, and I can eat enough this year!An old man was on crutches and muttered.
The Queen Mother was very relieved to see this scene. Before, she looked at the world with her discerning eyes and found that people's lives were too hard, and they couldn't eat enough and not warm their clothes, so she was kind, so she let the heavenly palace rain down rice noodles. At this rate, even the smallest family can have hundreds of catties of rice and noodles per family.
Well, now every family has rice and noodles, and everyone can eat enough. Now that the world has become better, I will go to the city to see how these people are doing, they must be very happy, and they must all become very kind. The Queen Mother thought.
When she arrived in the city, the Queen Mother thought to herself, "I have to change my identity so that it can be effective." Let's go to those rich families first, they are not short of money, and now they have a lot of rice and noodles, they will definitely save me. After she finished speaking, she looked at no one on the left and right, and turned into a lame old woman.
Kind old man, save my poor old woman, my leg hurts, I haven't eaten for three days, old lady, give me a bite to eat, I must pray for you to worship God and Buddha, pray for your long life and peace, and have many children. The Queen Mother knocked on a big red door and said sadly.
Soon, the door opened, and a small guy came out. There is also a middle-aged man standing in the house, who should be the owner of this house, wearing gold and silver, and he has money at a glance.
I thought there was a happy event, but I didn't expect it to be a crazy woman, it's really unlucky!Ah Wu, hurry up and run away from this crazy woman, hurry up, don't delay you to grab rice and noodles. The middle-aged man yelled at the little servant, then turned around and said to the dozen or so servants inside: "You take sticks and go outside to grab rice and noodles." God ordered rice noodles, how can those poor people who stink all over their bodies deserve to eat?Hurry, grab as much as you can!”
After saying that, a group of domestic servants rushed out with sticks.
Remember, don't go to the big family to rob, only go to the small house to grab it, don't **, grab it back, I will let you eat meat and drink wine today, and have a full meal!The middle-aged man confessed loudly again.
Ah Wu scolded and kicked the queen mother with his foot: "Stinky old woman, get out of here, you bed bug, delay me in doing things, and cause me to be scolded by the master again!."He kicked a few times but couldn't get enough of it, and he even started to beat the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother endured it, begging for mercy, and crawled away. That Ah Wu was still scolding, and he scolded for a long time before going back to the house.
Perhaps, it's just that this one rich man is like this, and the other rich people are not like thisThe Queen Mother thought, and then went to the second rich house. However, she was treated the same as before, she was beaten violently, and her other leg was almost kicked off. If she hadn't been a fairy, she would have *** a long time ago.
I went to seven wealthy families in a row, and the results were all similar. These rich and noble people are busy grabbing rice and noodles and they are all in the same mind, they dare not rob other rich families, only go to the poor people's homes to rob, although they will not be finished, but those people's rice and noodles are basically not much left.
The slightly better rich and noble people just leave a little more rice and noodles for the poor.
There are rich and noble people in the city, so that's why this happens, right?If you go to the village, there are no rich and noble families, and maybe no one will grab rice and noodles. Perhaps, when the people in the village have rice and noodles and their lives are better, they will be kinder. The Queen Mother thought as she walked out of the city.
This time, she came to a small village twenty miles away, which was quite large, with 100 families.
Good Samaritan, have pity on my old woman, I haven't eaten for five days, and I ...... itI'm running out of strength to speak, give me ......Give me a bite to eat?The Queen Mother knocked on the wooden door of the first house in the village and said weakly.
I don't have anything to eat at home, so let's go!The woman inside said angrily.
But ......But I've seen it all, today the rice and noodles are served, and your family is ......Your family definitely has it. Have pity on me, I'm going to starve to death. My leg hurts so much, I ......I couldn't even walk. ”
Oops, do you know that rice noodles were served today?Then why don't you pick up rice noodles yourself?”
I had no strength, and all the rice and noodles I picked up were snatched away. ”
Then you go and ask someone else for it, don't ask my family for it. I don't have much rice and noodles at home, and I have two sons, three daughters, a dozen chickens, and a few pigs ......These rice noodles are not enough for my family to eat!”
With that, the woman slammed the door shut.
The Queen Mother was not reconciled and continued to the next house. There was a smell in the room, it was the smell of hot cakes. Before I could knock on the door, I heard the people inside say, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, those old men will come in a while, and I don't know if there are any to eat." ”
The Queen Mother was very curious: "Could it be that there are also rich families here who loot rice and noodles?"Just as he was thinking, a voice came from behind. When the Queen Mother saw that there were many people, she quickly hid in the grass on the side.
Open the door, open the door, collect taxes, hurry up, don't hide it, the lord already knows, rice and noodles fall from the sky. There is a war above, and there is an urgent shortage of grain and grass, so each family will pay an extra 400 catties of rice and 500 catties of noodles this year. Dozens of officials pulled the cart and slapped the first family in the village.
The Queen Mother was taken aback, the methods of these officials are more poisonous than those rich and noble!I heard the people of the second family urging: "Eat quickly, child, you, go and hide some rice and noodles, they are coming, alas!."”
Let's go into the distance and pick a peaceful place this time. "The Queen Mother performed her magic and came to a small mountain village one hundred and fifty miles outside the city, which was almost isolated from the world, and the county magistrate was a very good person.
Give me a bite to eat, I'm dying of hunger. The Queen Mother came to the door and leaned against the door, with a broken bowl in her hand.
Give my cats and dogs to eat, they can also watch the house and catch mice, what's the use of feeding you?It's always called Hanako, hurry up and get out of my house and ask for it elsewhere!After being poor for eighteen generations, I finally had some rice and noodles, and I came to beg for it, which is really unlucky, unlucky!As he spoke, the man punched the Queen Mother in the waist.
The Queen Mother said no more and continued to beg for food at the next house.
I don't think you're hungry enoughThe man said, "I think when we had a famine, we ate all the grass roots and tree bark. If you're really hungry, why don't you eat the grass roots, the leaves?Do you have to eat my white flour and white rice?Don't pretend, you stinky and want food, you're just too lazy to eat, go fast. ”
After the man finished speaking, he kicked the Queen Mother in the ribs.
The Queen Mother was disappointed, she returned to the sky, facing the Jade Emperor, still muttering to herself: "How can this be?"How so?”
Because the poor are not the same as the rich and the noble. The rich and noble have people and power, so they can deprive and rob the poor, and if you give those poor people rice and noodles, they can't keep it, and they will eventually be robbed by the rich and noble. If you give them rice and noodles, you will harm them. The Jade Emperor said.
The people in those mountain villages, there are no rich people to plunder, why haven't they become kind?The Queen Mother asked again.
Because many people are evil by nature, but they don't show it when they are ordinary. Once they have wealth and power, they will expose their true nature, or they will be too selfish and think about their children and grandchildren;Either that, they are more concerned and not greedy enough. There are too few really good people. ”
Alas, when I saw the poverty of the world, I thought it was a problem of wealth, but I didn't expect it to be a problem of human nature. The Queen Mother sighed.
Yes, although there are many people in the world, there is more wealth, if the wealth can really be equalized and equally divided, there will be war in the world?That world has long been a fairyland. After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he looked helpless.
