Yuan Lefan's life lasted three times.

Huang Yuan sighed from then on, and his heart was dying. After Gong Sheng, he went to imperial academy to study according to the regulations. After staying in Beijing for a year, he sat still all day and stopped studying. "Life is like this, and it is useless to work hard."

? A year later, he returned to imperial academy to study. Before entering imperial academy, he visited Jackson Cloud Valley in Qixia Mountain. Sit in the same room with the Zen master and stay up for three days.

The Zen master secretly marveled: it's good to be so determined. So the Zen master asked Huang Yuan, "Ordinary people can't be saints because they are too paranoid. You haven't thought for three days. What is the reason? "

I sighed and said, "My good or bad luck in my life has been decided by Mr. Kong, and my fate is decided by heaven. What is there to think about? "

The Zen master smiled faintly after listening: "I thought you were a hero, but in fact you are just an ordinary person."

Huang Yuan asked, "What do you mean?"

The Zen master waved his robe sleeve and said in a clear voice, "Ordinary people are bound by the luck of Yin and Yang because they can't be careless. If a person is sincere and diligent in doing good deeds, there are countless. On the other hand, if a person is reckless and stubborn, numbers can't save his life. You have been calculated by Confucius for twenty years, and you haven't changed a dime. Aren't you an ordinary person? "

Huang Yuan asked, "You mean you can escape fate?"

The Zen master said, "Life is up to you. Happiness is for you. There is no way to be blessed. Only people can recruit themselves." As long as a person makes sincere efforts and does more good deeds, nothing is without induction. "

Huang Yuan knelt down and begged, "Please tell me how to get rid of my fate."

The Zen master took a copy of Merits and demerits and handed it to him: "Every night, I will do what I want to do, reflect on my behavior and record my merits and demerits according to the rules. Every month to the end of the month, sum up once, and the surplus can be used as a charity. "

Farewell to the Zen master, Huang Yuan returned home, knelt before the Buddha to repent, and made a suicide note, vowing to do 3 thousand good deeds first and seek the first place.

On that day, Huang Yuan changed his name to "Lefan".

? "Sweeping the opinions of ordinary people is for ordinary people."

? Since then, he has lived carefully every day. "Even where no one is there, he is often afraid of offending ghosts and gods. I will accept those who hate me and slander me. "

? A year later, Yuan Lefan went to does to participate in scientific research.

? According to Mr. Kong's calculation, he should take the third place. "Unexpectedly, I actually got the first place."

? Next, Mr. Kong's life failed again. Mr. Kong was not a juror in the exam, but he won a juror in the autumn rural examination.

"Master Yungu said: Fate can be changed. I believe this more. "

Ten years later, Yuan Lefan accomplished 3,000 good deeds. He knelt before the Buddha and repented, made a sparse essay, and vowed to do another 3,000 good deeds, hoping to get children.

Only one year later, Yuan Lefan's dream came true, and his wife gave birth to a son named Apocalypse. Since then, Yuan Lefan has been doing good deeds more attentively, at least "doing one good deed every day".

In just two years, 3000 good things have been accomplished. He knelt down before the Buddha and repented, and wrote another essay, vowing to do 10,000 good deeds, hoping to fulfill his wish of learning.

Three years later, Yuan Lefan actually won the Jinshi. Soon, the official department made him a Baodi county magistrate.

As soon as he took office, Yuan Lefan prepared a pamphlet: "I named this pamphlet' Healing the Mind'. I am afraid that I will be an official and have evil thoughts, so I have to cure my heart. "

Every morning, while sitting on the trial bench, Yuan Lefan handed the article "Governing the Heart" to the doorman and recorded all his good deeds and evil deeds, big or small.

In the evening, he looked through the records again and closed the door. ? Although Yuan Lefan insisted on doing one good deed every day, his wife was sad all day: "You promised to do 10,000 good deeds, but there was no good deed in the yamen. When will it be completed? "

That night, Yuan Lefan had a dream. I met a god in my dream, and he said to him, "I am ashamed that it is difficult to accomplish 10 thousand good deeds."

The God said, "Now people in Baodi live a hard life. As long as you reduce their food and taxes, it will be enough to pay 10 thousand acts of kindness. "

The next day, Yuan Lefan immediately went to the grassroots to investigate the truth. Fields in Baodi County receive 20 cents, 30 cents and 70 cents per mu. After understanding the people's tax, Yuan Lefan thought it should be reduced to 1.4% 6 cents. So I wrote to the court and asked for tax cuts to support the people. The court agreed to his request and prohibited all kinds of additional apportionment. The people of the county cheered and applauded for this. This move was called "good governance of reducing grain" in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

? At that time, there were frequent floods in Baodi, so Yuan Lefan built water conservancy projects, dredged Sancha River and built dams to fight floods. He also personally led the people to plant willows along the coastal dams, turning the continuous seawall into a green barrier. 400 years ago, Baodi was mostly worthless saline-alkali land. Only barnyard grass and reeds are suitable for growing in the field. But Yuan Lefan is whimsical: transforming saline-alkali land to grow rice. Dig communication rivers, cultivate fields and introduce improved varieties. ...

After three years of practice, he actually planted rice from Huang Chengcheng. Subsequently, Yuan Lefan led the people to carry out a series of agricultural experiments, and compiled the first agricultural monograph "Baodi's book to persuade agriculture" in Tianjin.

"Since I came to Yuan Zhi County, Baodi's life has changed."

Baodi people praised Yuan Lefan to everyone.

1588, Yuan Lefan, 53 years old.

? Mr. Kong is a fortune teller-he will die on the tenth day of August this year.

? The tenth day of August finally came,

On the tenth day of August, I finally left.

"I am painless, nothing."

? Listen to the next decomposition.
