Chapter 1594 Linjiangxian 15
Jiang Xinxin patted Meng Changqin's shoulder and said earnestly, "The hatred between Hanlong and the people of Sanzhou is too deep. I suggested that the people go up the mountain to work and plant trees and grass, in order to save some of the situation. But Hanlong is too angry and no longer trusts humans, so he won't give in for the time being."
"According to me, I have some money, so I should at least spread some grass seeds to prevent the loess from being blown away by the wind. I should also fill the potholes on the mountain as soon as possible. Whether Hanlong will be moved by this or not is not something we should discuss for now. We should just reward Hanlong for his efforts in slaying demons and monsters over the years, and we shouldn't be lazy."
Meng Changqin really didn't expect that the drought that he had hated for so long was actually the result of human beings' own evil deeds. Now he could only agree with Jiang Xinxin's opinion and take action first to let the drought dragon see the sincerity of human beings' repentance.
But there is something deeper that Jiang Xinxin didn't say. In the past, Wuju Mountain was not only covered with beautiful flowers and grasses, but it must have also nurtured many precious spiritual herbs. However, when Hanlong went out, he couldn't find any of those spiritual herbs and fruits. This shows the complexity and depth of the interest chain behind it.
Would such a person let go of Hanlong, the "living god"?
So this time, although Jiang Xinxin was giving advice to the mortals, she had actually distinguished the mortals and stood on the side of Hanlong.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinxin reminded Meng Changqin, "In the past, there were countless rare flowers and herbs on Wuju Mountain. Even if these were used as ordinary medicine, they could save countless lives and prolong life."
"But now, only the small area at the doorstep of Hanlong's home remains on Wuju Mountain. This area has been preserved thanks to Hanlong's magical power. The rest of the area has been covered by loess."
"The news about Han Long is about to spread. Do you think those who took the elixir made from the magical herbs and fruits of Wuju Mountain will let Han Long go?"
Meng Changqin immediately retorted, "No, no matter if the drought dragon is a god, demon, or something else, it possesses magical powers far beyond the reach of humans. Even though there's a saying that an ant can kill an elephant, who has ever seen that in real life? It's nothing more than a self-consolation after humans' futile efforts."
Jiang Xinxin didn't argue with Meng Changqin about this, and instead asked Meng Changqin about the arrangements for her earlier proposal: "Have you thought about how to organize people to plant grass and trees?"
Jiang Xinxin simply threw a silver bag to Meng Changqin. "I've used the art of concealing the universe in my sleeve on this bag. Don't underestimate its small size. It actually contains hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. You'd better spend it carefully."
Meng Changqin is not a fool, he is just a little pedantic. Jiang Xinxin found a place to stay and told Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi all the information about the situation there.
Bai Jiusi firmly believed that the human race was just one of the common people in the world. He felt that there was no need to give the human race any preferential treatment. Everything should be done according to the rules. It is not possible to harm the interests of other creatures just because the human race is smart and compassionate, right?
Hua Ruyue couldn't help but wonder, "I used to think humans were fragile. The slightest disturbance would become a mountain weighing down their heads, not only suffocating them but often even killing them. That's why I always unconsciously favored them..."
"But now, looking back, are humans really as fragile and powerless as I see them?"
"Let's not even mention that they exploited Wuju Mountain while Hanlong was away exterminating demons and exploited its minerals and other resources. That's hardly legitimate. Just the fact that they completely mined Wuju Mountain in just a decade or so is definitely not timid!"
Bai Jiusi took the opportunity to say to Hua Ruyue, "Ayue, I know that the humans you and I have seen since we came to the mortal world are all weak and frail. It's even common for them to be unable to see a doctor or receive treatment due to various reasons. So, you always feel pity for them because of the sufferings of the mortal world and the fragility of the human race, and you unconsciously want to show them some favoritism."
"This can't be considered 'common human nature,' but as a deity, it's normal for you to sympathize with the poor and the weak."
"It's just that, Ah Yue, there's one thing we must understand: a single individual cannot represent an entire tribe. Every tribe has weak individuals who are unable to struggle, and naturally there are also individuals whom you and I admire, and even more so, there are evil individuals whom you and I must eliminate."
Bai Jiusi is used to doing business outside, and he has seen the diversity of species. In particular, he has a deep understanding of the principle that one should not be afraid of smart people thinking too much, but should be afraid of stupid people making mistakes!
Therefore, he made up his mind early on. The suffering of the human race was visible to his naked eyes, but the human race actually occupied most of the resources in the mortal world. Most of their suffering came from within the human race and had nothing to do with external threats, so he could not expend his magic power to help the human race.
To put it bluntly, Bai Jiusi truly regards all living beings as equal, opposes giving special care to the human race, and even more so opposes the people-oriented thinking.
What Hua Ruyue saw was similar to what Bai Jiusi saw. Later, with Jiang Xinxin's intervention, she even saw more people struggling to survive in the world.
She did not fully realize that these mortal sufferings came from within the human race, but she had vaguely thought that by changing the thoughts and ideas of the human race, she could eliminate the pain and oppression as much as possible.
It seems that Bai Jiusi's thoughts and ideas are those of a true god, while Hua Ruyue is still entangled in human affairs, and her ideological realm does not seem to be high enough, but in fact, they are both right.
Hua Ruyue put aside the things she couldn't figure out for the time being and quickly gathered grass seeds to send to the three northwestern states. "Anyway, Yuan Xin has come up with an idea to quickly restore the green mountains and clear waters of the three states. I think this is a good thing, and we should provide assistance as soon as possible."
Bai Jiusi had nothing to say about this. The two of them acted separately and there was no good result in three to five days, but they did not gain nothing. After all, the people were too busy to weed and no one thought of planting grass on their own initiative, so the collection of grass seeds was not going smoothly. It was the traveling merchants who came back from the grassland who brought some good news.
The grass on the grassland is different from the grass in other places. Many of the grasses here are used to feed cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can grow meat and produce milk by eating them. It is a good thing, so he tentatively brought back two bags. Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi happened to see them, and both sides felt that they had made a profit.
However, grass seeds also need water to germinate. Now there are no people left in the three states. Even if Meng Changqin soaked the grass seeds and scattered them at night, they still could not withstand the sun for a whole day. The tender little grass sprouts from the seeds were directly dried up and could not survive a single day.
Jiang Xinxin could only offer an idea: "Why not use some hay instead? At least it can block out the sun and prevent the grass seeds from drying out and dying."
