No taboos

Chapter 231: Dao Body and Dharma Use (asking for monthly ticket)

"Potato in a jar, dry-fried fish." Xu Yuan ordered two dishes with a smile.

They are all meat.

Lin Wanmo went to wash his hands and cook.

Zhang Laoya also came out, stared at Xu Yuan for a while, and snorted, "You've regressed. Hurry up and practice!"

The decline in Shang Fa's skills was mainly due to the fact that he used his own elixir of ammunition to trade for the dragon ball.

Xu Yuan agreed with a smile: "Okay."

I don't need to practice, Tian Jing and Jiao will help me practice.

Zhang Lao Ya threw a bill to Xu Yuan: "Remember to settle the bills you have posted at Wuweilou these days."

Mr. Zhang lives here and has Wuweilou deliver three meals a day.

Xu Yuan glanced at the bill and his eyes twitched.

"Your old enemy hasn't arrived yet?"

Zhang Lao Ya snorted and went back with his hands behind his back.

He originally wanted to ask Xu Yuan to have a couple of drinks with him.

But his stepmother wanted to cook for Xu Yuan, but Zhang Laoya looked down on her and felt that he still wanted to eat at Wuweilou.

He was thinking about it in his mind, trying to find a way to get Fu Jingyu to drink with him.

Wuweilou has good food and good wine.

But none of them are top-notch.

If I could hook up with Fu Jingyu, I could find a way to make him spend a lot of money to buy some really good wine.

Zhang Laoya was walking in the yard of the South City Patrol Office with his hands behind his back, hoping to meet Fu Jingyu by chance.

Xu Yuan called Lang Xiaoba over and returned everyone's money: "This is how much each person should have, don't make a mistake."

I would feel at ease if I handed this matter over to Fu Jingyu or Lang Xiaoba.

If Zhou Leizi were to do it, he would not embezzle, but he would definitely ask for a few more silver coins than a meal.

But Fu Jingyu is nowhere to be found, so it can only be Lang Xiaoba.

Zhang Laoya walked around the yard three times but couldn't find Fu Jingyu.

He was dragged into the house by Song Lu: "Brother Jingyu, I want to write a letter to my family. Can you help me polish it?"

A letter from home, what's the point of polishing it?

Song Lu sent this letter to both families, and deliberately let Fu Jingyu read it. Song Lu added whatever he wanted to say.

After writing the letter, Song Lu took Fu Jingyu to Wuweilou.

In the small elegant room upstairs, two people sat by the window - no matter if you are the inspector or the teacher's old friend, don't disturb them.

The food ordered by Zhang Lao Ya was delivered, and Lin Wanmo's meal next door was also ready.

Waves of fragrance seemed to have a spirit and penetrated into Zhang Laoya's nostrils.

The food at Wuweilou is of good quality, but after eating too much food and drinks outside, most people will really crave the delicious home-cooked food.

And Lin Wanmo is precisely the leader in “home-cooked delicious food”.

As Zhang Lao Ya sat at the dinner table, he began to feel thorns on his buttocks. He twisted and turned for half a minute, but he couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly, carrying the jar of wine and going to Xu Yuan's house.

If Xu Yuan was alone, Mr. Zhang wouldn't even give out this jar of wine.

It's just a hard rub.

But Lin Wanmo was there too, so he didn't dare.

Lin Wanmo was eating when he saw Zhang Laoya sticking his head in from outside the door with a smile on his face.

This man taught Ayuan the business method, so give him some face.

Lin Wanmo put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "I'll go get two more dishes."

Zhang Laoya took a pair of chopsticks, sat down and poured wine for himself and Xu Yuan, and first picked up the largest piece of meat from the jar with his chopsticks.

"It smells good!" Zhang Laoya praised repeatedly.

Xu Yuan knocked on the table: "Eating for free?"

"I brought some wine."

Xu Yuan snorted coldly: "I don't like wine." Zhang Lao Ya curled his lips: "It seems that I have taught you well, and now you start bargaining with the master."

Xu Yuan: "You are not my teacher, we have already made it clear."

Zhang Laoya felt a little regretful. He was really greedy and had already eaten a piece of meat from the jar.

Otherwise you can leave now.

Give money?
It's not impossible, but Zhang Laoya thought about it and said, "During this period of time, make whatever I want to eat."

"You're dreaming!" Xu Yuan glared, "I wouldn't even dare to dream like that..."

Lin Wanmo suddenly poked his head in from the doorway and asked with a smile, "So, what do you want to exchange for this, Senior?"

Zhang Lao Ya groaned, "This is the first time you've smiled at me since you came here.

You two are the kind of people who won't release the eagle until you see the rabbit."

Zhang Lao Ya took another bite of his chopsticks and said, "The various methods of the sixth-rate commercial law, if it's higher... forget it - it would cost real money."

Lin Wanmo immediately said, "Okay, I agree."

Zhang Lao Ya said angrily, "Hurry up and cook! Who will eat these two dishes?"

"Okay!" Lin Wanmo's temper suddenly became very good.

Zhang Laoya ate and drank while Lin Wanmo skillfully fried two more dishes.

Mr. Zhang was still not satisfied.

Lin Wanmo said, "Drink first. I'll prepare eight dishes for you today. It's auspicious."

Xu Yuan knocked on the table and glared at Zhang Laoya: "Hey, that's enough! Can you finish eight dishes?"

Lin Wanmo slapped him and said, "It's okay, it'll be done soon."

When all eight dishes were served, Zhang Lao Ya's face was flushed with gluttony and he burped. Lin Wanmo immediately handed him toothpicks made of green bamboo.

Zhang Laoya nodded in satisfaction, picked up a tooth and said, "Dharma cultivation - it's called Dharma cultivation, but what it emphasizes is the 'Tao body and Dharma use'.

No matter how strange or even unorthodox the methods are, they all have their own "Tao" after all.

If one does not have a sufficient understanding of the Tao and is obsessed with the power of the law, he will never be able to break free from the bottom three and advance to the sixth level or above.

Let’s talk about the business law we are studying. What is Tao?
Scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants - merchants have always been ranked last. Even now, the imperial court suppresses us in various ways.

But is 'business' really as useless or even harmful as the world's stereotypes suggest?

Xu Yuan followed Zhang Laoya's train of thought and thought seriously.

"The most basic principle of commercial law is 'exchange'.

For example, the East China Sea produces salt, but the grassland lacks salt.

The salt farmers in the East China Sea needed to sell their salt in exchange for food. The people on the grassland had no salt to eat, and they had no strength and suffered from various diseases.

We transported salt from the East China Sea to the grasslands, exchanged it for cattle, sheep, and furs, sold them in the Central Plains, exchanged them for grain, and then transported it to the East China Sea to sell to those salt farmers.

Everyone gets what they need, and we can benefit from it, so everyone is happy. Why does the court want to suppress us?"

Xu Yuan said: "In the meantime, merchants can make multiple profits, which may cause the prices of these goods to rise, making them unaffordable for everyone."

“There is this risk – which leads to a ‘Tao’ in commercial law: balance.

Don't be too greedy. Only make a reasonable profit on each transaction." Zhang Laoya further explained, "This is very complicated. Another important reason is that, in the eyes of others, merchants can easily make profits, which will attract others to follow suit. If more people engage in business, there will be no one to farm, no one to join the army, and no one to study... This will affect the stability of the world.

This brings us to another principle of commercial law: putting the overall situation first.

As a businessman, you cannot just think about business and cannot be obsessed with money. You must also have the world in mind.

The world is gone, the building is crumbling, a catastrophe that no one can escape."

Zhang Lao Ya finished picking his teeth, changed his posture, and concluded, "So every Dharma contains more than one Dao. You need to make a choice and determine your own Dao. Only then can you build your own 'Dharma Object' on this foundation.

Dharma objects are the foundation of the Tao. With this foundation, the Dharma can be built higher and higher step by step."

Xu Yuan nodded and thought about his own "Tao" in his heart.

Zhang Lao Ya continued, "Although the Seventh Stream can condense magical artifacts, many practitioners do not have them because they have not yet clearly discerned the 'Tao' they want to practice.

There is no way to be promoted to the sixth rate.

This is not just a question of spiritual attainment.”

Xu Yuan nodded and asked, "Then if I have clearly understood the path I want to practice, how do I condense a magical artifact?"
