How can a person's fortune come from, and how can he have a lot of wealth?
Once upon a time, there was a businessman named Su De in Hangzhou, who had bad luck in business, and people made a lot of money in business, but no matter what business he did, he lost a lot of money.
Later, someone told Su De that he would transport the silk from Hangzhou to Hubei by ship, and then transport the jade from Hubei back to Hangzhou to make a lot of money. After listening to the calculation, Sude thought it was feasible.
So he mortgaged his property, bought a whole boatload of silk, and went down the Yangtze River to Wuhan, Hubei, but when he approached Wuhan, the ship sank, and with great effort, only a few pieces of cloth were saved.
As the sun set, Su De looked at the few pieces of cloth that were left, and wept bitterly, when an old monk came up to him and said, "Why are you crying so sadly? ”
Su De replied: "Master, you don't know why this God is so unfair, why does it always make me unlucky."
When the monk heard this, he smiled and said, "Dare to ask the donor, if God makes you rich, what will you do?" ”
Su De said excitedly: "Then it goes without saying, of course, it is to buy a house and land, marry a wife and take a concubine, how to enjoy it!" ”
The monk smiled: "Your heart is selfish, you never think about others, and God hates people like you the most, let you have money, not only will you hurt yourself but also others." ”
Su De had never heard such words, and he felt as if he understood a little, and then knelt down on his knees and said, "Please teach the master."
Seeing that Su De had an epiphany, the monk stepped forward and said: "I will send you a limerick poem, everything in the world has a spirit, the noble people are not human beings, the heart is selfless for others, and the wealth is like a wave of endless flowers".
After saying goodbye to the monk, Su De came to the cloth shop, exchanged the only few remaining silk horses for ten taels of silver, as soon as he went out, he heard the heart-rending dog barking not far away, there were many onlookers, Su De curiously squeezed out of the crowd, and saw a black dog covered in wounds at the door of the dog meat restaurant, kneeling on the front legs, whining and begging the butcher, don't drop the butcher's knife.
This situation reminded Su De of the monk's poem, which said that everything in the world has a spirit.
So Sud took out a tael of silver, and bought the black dog, and then he led the black dog to the bazaar, and was going to buy some goods to go home, but at that moment he heard the mournful cry of the old cow not far away.
When I got closer, I saw a few strong men and an old man, who were a** an old cow together, and the onlookers were still pointing and sighing, and Su De asked what was going on?
The passer-by replied: "This old cow has helped the old man's family to plough the land all his life, but someone in this old man's family is sick and has no money to watch Langzhong, so he can only sell the old cow to the butcher."
Su De sighed in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't look past him, so he simply took out four taels of silver and bought the old cow, and with only five taels of silver left, he could only buy a cart of cotton and go to the ferry.
But when the ox cart came to the ferry, the old cow did not come aboard, and the black dog bit his trouser leg.
After this time, he went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and the waterway was changed to a dry road, and the pressure-free Su De made a lot of friends along the way, and he also learned from a friend: "It is said that a strong wind blew on the river that day, and all the merchant ships sank into the river..."”
As soon as these words came out, Su De broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly remembered what the monk said, Lu Yu nobles are not people. It turns out that the cow and the dog are my noblemen!
Three days later, Sude came to a ruined temple to spend the night, and saw that there were several merchants in the temple besides him, and one of them was hungry, so he was about to pluck and eat the big rooster he had brought with him, but at this moment, he saw the big black dog rushing over, and did not let the man kill him.
Seeing this, Su De wanted to laugh and was helpless, so he replaced the jade pendant on his waist with the big rooster.
When he opened his eyes the next morning, he was frightened, and saw that the corpses of scorpions and centipedes were scattered all around it, and the big rooster was guarding it, but the merchants in the temple were all killed by poisonous insects.
After informing the local security chief, Sude continued on his way.
When he came to the river to get water, he saw a weak Xiucai, who was arguing with the boatman who was ferrying, and when he asked, he found out that Xiucai's mother had lung disease and wanted to cross the river to the county seat for treatment, and the boatman was afraid of being infected and refused to let him get on the boat.
Sud said, "Let my oxen carry your mother across the river."
After saying that, he led the ox over, and the old ox seemed to understand the words, and crossed the river with the mother and son, but when the ox swam back, it seemed to step on something, and stopped in the water.
Thinking that the cow's hooves were entangled in aquatic plants, Sude took off his shirt and went into the water to check, but when he looked at it, he found that the old cow was stepping on a golden lump under his hooves, which made Sude make a windfall.
A month later, Su De finally returned to Hangzhou, but what he waited for was the ridicule of his peers: "They all say that the cotton you brought back is worthless now, unless God helps you make it snow."
But Sud said, "It's not certain, God may be happy and it will snow!" ”
I didn't expect this to be a prophecy. The next morning, it snowed heavily in the city of Hangzhou, and the temperature dropped rapidly, and the cotton clothes in the city were in short supply.
Three years later, Su De switched to the grain business, and opened a number of porridge farms to help the poor? But the more good deeds he does, the more his money can't be spent, and he really fulfills the last two sentences, selfless in his heart for others, and his wealth is like a wave!
Friends, money ** in the society, but also in the society, a person to use money in the right place to play its real role, for the benefit of mankind, will continue to produce more wealth, if only greedy for personal pleasure, profligacy, then no amount of money will be ruined, and even harm to children and grandchildren Do you agree?
