Chapter 214 Hate Each Other
"I only have one son, Huang Cong, but he was born mentally retarded. I still want to give him some younger brothers so that I can take care of him in the future."
Pan Yun: "That's a good excuse, but whether you want to take care of him or give up on him, it's useless. Master Huang, you only have this one son in your life. This is destined by heaven and cannot be changed."
A critical hit, absolutely a critical hit.
Mr. Huang's expression was blank. It took him a long time to find his voice. "I, I'm not that old..."
"It's not big, but it's destined by heaven."
Pan Yun didn't say a word. Just the three words "it's destined" made Mr. Huang disheartened.
Finally, he tried hard and said, "Is there no other way? For example, changing fate?"
Pan Yun frowned, and after a while he said, "Master Huang, your family has few offspring. This is hereditary, and it will continue to be passed down. It is difficult to change, and it cannot be changed overnight."
"Isn't the feng shui of my house very good? Why is God so unfair to my Huang family?"
Pan Yun smiled and said, "It is because of fairness that God makes it difficult for you, the Huang family, to inherit the family lineage."
She said, "Your Huang family has committed too many sins, and Huang Cong is stupid because of this. If... you have children in the future, it will be 50-50. But Mr. Huang, don't worry, even if your family has three generations of idiots, you will still enjoy endless wealth and glory."
"What did you say?" Mr. Huang's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly, unconvinced, "Master, what evil has my Huang family done?"
Pan Yun: "Mr. Huang should know in his heart that your family has done evil. Also, your family has no merits and no virtues, but you are enjoying the blessings of heaven. Naturally, you have to pay some price."
Mr. Huang's face flushed red as he questioned, "Is it because of the five or six people who died and were injured in the tenant peasant rebellion two years ago? But can I be blamed for that? If anyone is to blame, it should be Deng Yun! It was Deng Yun who instigated them to rebel and was cleared out by the government. I am innocent! God cannot be unreasonable."
Pan Yun just smiled and said nothing.
Mr. Huang became more and more angry, and walked around in circles, saying, "Even if it was a sin, it was the government that did it. The people were arrested by the government, and the people were beaten to death or injured by the government. Oh, they are officials and I am a civilian, so God is blaming me for the sin? I feel wronged. They rented my land and agreed to pay 80% of the rent, but after the harvest, they didn't want to pay the rent and even occupied my land for free. There is no reason for this, no matter how hard you try."
"God blames me for this and makes me have few offspring. I won't accept it!"
Pan Yun sighed and said, "Master Huang, God treats all things equally. He will not look down on you like ordinary people just because you have money and land in the world."
"80% rent, do you think the tenant farmer's yearly labor is only worth 20% rent?"
Mr. Huang sneered, "If they don't recognize it, they don't have to rent it. I didn't force them to rent my land. Since they have rented it, they have to recognize it! Keeping promises and doing things according to the contract is the kingly way!"
Miao Zhen Miao He felt a little angry for some reason, but Pan Yun was calm and said coldly: "But God doesn't do that."
Pan Yun sneered, "What kingly way, what court laws, what government offices, what powerful landlords, in the eyes of God, these things are nothing."
Mr. Huang was stunned.
Pan Yun: "Heaven has its own set of rules for operation, and this set of rules is called the Way of Heaven."
"So dynasties change, every two or three hundred years. Even a noble family like the royal family will eventually become nothing more than a handful of dirt, or be reduced to mud and trampled by thousands of people. Aristocratic families, generals, and beggars can all become emperors. No matter how wealthy their families were, they will eventually fall," Pan Yun said. "This is the way of heaven. Whether it is a family or a country, its fortune will rise and fall. Master Huang, when dynasties change and the previous dynasty falls, will Emperor Gengshen ask heaven why so many traitors came to seize his throne?"
Mr. Huang immediately said: "The Yuan Dynasty is a heresy, the dynasty is corrupt, and the people are living in misery. Emperor Taizu Gao is not a traitor, he is acting on behalf of heaven and pleading for the people!"
Pan Yun smiled, "So Master Huang knows that it will be difficult for the people to survive if they obey the court's requirements. He knows that there are people who act on behalf of heaven and seek justice for the people in this world."
Mr. Huang's face turned red instantly. At this moment, even though Pan Jun was an immortal, he was still very unhappy and wanted to kick him out.
"Could it be that the Immortal Master came here for those tenant farmers?"
"I'm not here for them," Pan Yun said, "Those of us who practice Taoism talk about merit, but we also talk about cause and effect. If we take money from others, we have to help them eliminate disasters."
"I took the money from you, Master Huang, and I valued the merits that your family would give me after the continuation of the business. Unless those tenants ask me to do it, why should I help them?"
"However," Pan Yun said slowly, "I will not do anything for them, but that does not stop me from telling the truth. Today, Master Huang, you are like a heretic to the tenant farmers. The tenant farmers are living in misery under you."
"With the blessing of this house, your Huang family will be rich for another fifty or sixty years without any problem. As for longer, it depends on what kind of people your descendants are and what they will do. You are also a scholar, you have read the most basic history books, right?" Pan Jun said with a smile: "Those who understand will understand."
Mr. Huang's lips trembled. "Hey, this, this, Immortal, didn't you tell me before that the Feng Shui of my house has been changed?"
"Yes, it has been changed. The blessing will continue. From now on, the head of your Huang family will no longer die young because of the excessive blessing of this house. But... the sins your family has committed have not been changed, right?"
Mr. Huang's knees weakened again, and he slid to the ground, "Save me, Immortal! Please protect my Huang family for generations to come."
Pan Yun: "The emperors of the previous dynasties were so domineering that they almost broke through the world, but they couldn't hire a sorcerer to make the dynasty last forever. Even wise men like Taizu and Taizong of this dynasty couldn't do it. Do you think I, a Taoist priest who is about to become an immortal, can do it?" Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Master Huang, you think too highly of me."
When Pan Yun said this about herself, Mr. Huang believed her even more. He hugged her legs and cried, "My Immortal, even if you can't live forever, please change my family's fate. At least, at least my next generation won't be stupid."
Pan Yun frowned, and after a while said, "There is a method that we can try, but I can do it, but I don't know if Mr. Huang can do it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, as long as it can change my fate, you can let me go through mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Pan Yun said expressionlessly: "Why would I ask you to climb mountains of swords and plunge into seas of fire?"
She snorted and said, "It's not difficult to solve the problem. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Mr. Huang, just undo the evil that your family has done."
Mr. Huang: "My family has done nothing wrong~~"
Pan Yun smiled, but didn't smile.
Mr. Huang asked tentatively, "Are you talking about those lowly tenant farmers?"
Pan Yun glanced around and pointed to the corner of the room and said, "Master Huang, what do you think that is?"
Mr. Huang turned around and asked, "Cockroach?"
Pan Jun nodded, "Yes, cockroach, but in the eyes of God, that is you, that is me, that is everything in this world."
"Untouchables are human rules, not God's. You want offspring, and you want smart offspring. What you are fighting against is not human rules, but the laws of nature. So, Mr. Huang, you must know who your opponent is and what you want to achieve."
Pan Yun said meaningfully: "In order to achieve their goals, people can sacrifice themselves to do many things. For example, I don't like you, Master Huang, but for my merits and my cultivation, I am willing to give you advice and help you."
Mr. Huang: ...I can see that Pan Yun really doesn't like him and will ridicule him whenever she finds an opportunity.
If Pan Yun was the only stranger he knew and he had no choice but to turn to her for help, he would have wanted to kick her out.
However, what Pan Jun said still passed through his mind. Is everything for the purpose?
What does he want to achieve?
His son has been married for two years, but he is still eating and playing foolishly, being crazy and stupid, and he can't even have a child. He is very worried about the future of the Huang family.
He must have a grandson, and he must be a smart grandson, so the Huang family cannot do evil anymore.
Mr. Huang gritted his teeth and said, "I will reduce the rent for the tenants. Starting this year, I will only collect 60% of their rent?"
Pan Yun sneered and said nothing.
Mr. Huang said with a painful look on his face: "The rent cannot be reduced, but I can reduce the silage, chickens and ducks they hand in every winter. Just, reduce it by 30%."
Pan Yun sighed, "It seems that in Mr. Huang's heart, money is much more important than his descendants. He is not even willing to reduce the extra silage and chickens and ducks that the tenants have to hand in by half."
Mr. Huang was not convinced. "How is it extra? They rent my land to grow crops, and I get a share of the herbs that grow. The chickens and ducks in the countryside eat grass and vegetables. Where do the grass and vegetables come from? Don't they come from my land? So what's wrong with asking them to hand over silage and chickens and ducks?"
Therefore, the tenant farmers not only had to hand over 70% to 80% of their grain harvest every year, but also had to hand over a certain amount of chickens and ducks to the Huang family every year. Every winter, they also had to cut a large amount of grass for the Huang family as silage.
The so-called silage is winter fodder prepared for cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, etc. The landlords have many livestock and they are unwilling to spend money to buy them or hire people to cut grass, so they directly assign the silage task to the tenant farmers.
Pan Yun looked at Mr. Huang steadily for a while and didn't feel the need to argue.
Never think of arguing with people whose cognition is not on the same level, especially because it is meaningless. Pan Yun only asked, "Master Huang, if you cancel the silage and chickens and ducks that the tenants have to hand in, I can guarantee that Huang Cong will have a child within two years and will not go crazy. If you reduce it by half, I can guarantee that he will have a child within three years and will not go crazy."
Mr. Huang really put away his anger, rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll cut it in half."
Pan Jun raised his eyebrows. As expected, the missing descendants are still a little worse than money, but...
Pan Yun said: "We need some things to perform the ritual."
After that, Pan Yun wrote him a list, which was full of things. When Mr. Huang saw her writing, he felt the money in his purse rushing away.
