"It is easier to integrate if cultures are similar" is an ideal conclusion.
The so-called "idealization" refers to shielding a large amount of external interference and only considering necessary factors for derivation.
However, ideals are ideals, reality is reality, and there are too many uncertainties in reality.
For example, experiments designed in the laboratory may not necessarily work outside the laboratory.
On paper, one can assume an ideal environment without friction, but in reality it is almost impossible to achieve this ideal environment.
So, what does the reality look like when it comes to “preaching”
In fact, it is simple, just two words "profit".
"Everything in the world is bustling for profit. Everything in the world is bustling for profit." Advanced animals are also animals, and humans also have animal instincts.
What is the instinct of animals
Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're sleepy, hide when you're in pain, find someone to lay cubs with when you're an adult, and run away when in danger.
It boils down to two words: "survival".
The same is true for people, advanced means advanced... turning "survival" into "life".
Competing for fame and fortune, for a better life, in the final analysis is also for survival.
Therefore, those who can restrain their instincts will become heroes praised by people.
And most people, regardless of whether they dare or are unwilling, can avoid becoming despicable in pursuit of interests.
"There is a saying in the world, 'He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world'! And if you want to win the hearts of the people, it is useless to just talk about ideals. You have to let people really benefit. Otherwise, it will remain the same with or without you. Life, why should people change themselves to cater to you?" When Ye Zan talked about rising, he lost the restraint brought by Bai Di, and it was a bit like chatting at a skewer stall.
The truth that Ye Zan mentioned is actually very simple. It is so simple that anyone who is literate in the secular world should know it, even if he is just a poor scholar who has failed in many trials.
However, knowing is knowing, but there are very few who can actually do it.
Otherwise, there would not have been such dynasty changes.
The White Emperor and several True Immortals were able to reach their current status not only because of their luck and qualifications, but also because of their intelligence.
This kind of truth is not profound to them.
However, they are immortals, immortals who live high in the immortal court, and have been separated from the secular world for countless years.
Even those secular emperors, apart from the founder of the country, also knew some of the sufferings of the people. It was considered good that the subsequent emperors could not say "why not eat minced meat".
If you ask these immortals to think about the problem from the perspective of ordinary mortals, it is obviously difficult for some powerful immortals.
"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world... This is true, but what does this have to do with what you said, the bigger the difference, the better? Since winning the hearts and minds of the people wins the world, wouldn't it be easier to win the hearts of the people if the cultures are closer?" Xuan Qingzhenxian asked everyone's questions on behalf of Baidi.
"It wants benefits, it wants real benefits. Compared with the vague concept of culture, most people care more about their immediate interests." Ye Zan emphasized again.
"Just because the cultures are close, doesn't it mean there are no benefits?" Zhenxian Xuanqing immediately questioned.
"Since the cultures are close, then according to what Uncle Master said, the culture of this world can bring benefits to the other party, then it should also bring benefits to oneself. But in fact, the secular life of this world has lasted for tens of thousands of years. It has been almost unchanged since then. Why do you think it can bring benefits to other worlds with the same culture?" Ye Zan immediately asked unceremoniously.
"Well... being able to practice Taoism is also a benefit." A heavenly general next to him said, obviously not very confident himself.
"With so many people in the world, how many can cultivate Taoism, and how many can become true immortals?" Ye Zan turned to look at the other person and asked.
Bai Di glanced at Tianjiang, then turned his eyes to Ye Zan. His expression immediately became much kinder and he said, "Don't pay attention to him, little friend, and continue talking about you."
"That's what I want to say. Similar cultures mean that he has what you have, and you don't have what he doesn't have. Therefore, you have to be able to learn from each other's strengths and make use of cultural differences to create enough benefits for the other party." Ye Zan preached to several people in a seductive manner.
"... Wouldn't it be faster if we just give them gold and silver?" A general blurted out a silly remark.
Immediately, not only Ye Zan, but also Bai Di, Xuan Qing, and another general looked at this general as if they were stupid.
Obviously, this heavenly general has been away from the world for too long, and he only knows that mortals use gold and silver as currency.
However, no one gave him any information. Bai Di and others withdrew their gaze and signaled Ye Zan to continue explaining his reasoning.
"No, no, I've finished what I want to say." Facing the gaze, Ye Zan waved his hands quickly and said.
"So, what is the target you chose for us?" Bai Di asked the question that concerned him most.
In fact, what Ye Zan said has a very important premise, that is, you must first have the ability to choose.
You must first be able to choose, and then you can say whether you want this or not.
Just like the emperor's draft of girls, you have to have hundreds of girls standing in front of you before you can pick out whether this one is not tall enough or that one is not beautiful enough.
Not to mention the world of monasticism, even the demons outside the world and the abyss, the two predecessor worlds where the heavens expand, do not have much room to choose targets.
So, why did Ye Zan tell the immortals about his guess without hesitation
Bind!
Increase one's own bargaining chip and make the other party more dependent on itself, making the cooperative relationship more stable.
Some people may say: Forget about selecting qualified targets, Xianting doesn't even have the ability to find random targets. Isn't the reliance on this cooperation not big enough
However, when looking at things, we should not just look at the moment, but look at long-term issues from a development perspective.
Times are developing. If Xianting is not able to go out on its own now, it does not mean that it will not be able to go out in the future.
As more worlds are swallowed up, the heaven and earth of the monastic world will be restored, and the upper limit of power will gradually increase. Immortal Court will eventually have the ability to go out on its own.
And, that day is not too far away.
After all, the monastic world itself has the potential of the top heavens, but it was destroyed by evil spirits from outside the world, which caused its development to be hindered.
This is just like Qi Qianjun back then. Although he was once in trouble and became a cripple, he was still able to soar into the sky after being rescued by Ye Zan.
Ye Zan refused to help Xianting attack the evil demon outside the world. On the one hand, he did not want to destroy the three-legged confrontation, and on the other hand, he did not have much confidence.
Do you really think that the quantum realm is invincible
Maybe, once or twice, the other party is unprepared, and you can take advantage of it.
Once the other party understands it and begins to research ways to deal with it, it is hard to say that it will never be possible to develop a countermeasure.
Don't underestimate the bosses of the heavens, otherwise you will only die in an ugly way.
Maybe, the Great Sun Tathagata is already studying how to deal with Ye Zan at this time.
