If you let it go, bang, the Wu Dynasty and the country will be gone one by one. In the room, Ning Yi made a "bang" gesture, and Li Pin frowned: "How can this be?" ”

Ning Yi was silent for a while: "Brother Li, has you ever thought about why Confucianism has been repeating the statement that merchants seek profit for thousands of years?" ”

"Isn't it natural for a saint to advocate virtue and oppose selfish and profit-seeking practices?"

"Partly yes." , Ning Yi nodded, "But the other part is that the study of Shang Jia is not conducive to governance, three words: it is not easy to manage." A person has been farming in a mountain village for a lifetime, nothing has happened, you have been there according to the methods of your ancestors, you have married, you have children, you are buried in the mountains. But one day you enter the county town and see those huāhuā green "and one day you enter the provincial town and see more things that you can't react to" as if you see that dress, and you want to "you go and find a way...... Greed......

Ning Yi smiled: "Of course, in most cases, you will work honestly to earn the money to buy clothes, but once you have a desire, you will always go to exploit it." Brother Li, do you think it is easy to manage a peasant who has been honest all his life with his face to the loess and his back to the sky, or a person who already has desires in his heart? Tens of millions of people in my dynasty, Brother Li, how many of them can really control the rule of law in our dynasty? How many of them have actually lived their whole lives like this? If business takes one step further, how much more desire will it take? ”

"It's actually an interesting system. Since the beginning of the hundred schools of thought, there has been a debate between the rule of law and the rule of virtue "The rule of law should be able to prevail, but all along, the Qin, Han, the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jins, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui, and the Tang ...... Take it slowly" You will find one thing: the previous rule of law, how many butterflies can be controlled, in fact, most of them rely on self-consciousness "The people are simple, there is a set of rules in the small village, if the current Jiangning is released to the Qin Dynasty, Brother Li, do you think that with the laws and means at that time, how long can Mrs. Taiping control here?" Maybe the Qin Dynasty is very strict, but there are too many smart people in Jiangning, and there are too many loopholes to exploit......"

"Confucianism is a very great thing" thousands of years of development "Brother Li, the benefits of businessmen are not discovered until the Wu Dynasty, if you let go of the benefits that come from Shangjia, it will definitely not be a genius and someone will know the Tao." The examples of Tao Zhugong are all there. But why for thousands of years, the whole world has suppressed business, and the underlying reason is that "they have seen the consequences." Rule of Law Capacity...... Can't keep up. "It's the same with our dynasty, ideology. Ning Yi nodded his brain, "the more desires people have", the more unpredictable the behavior, the more "tempted", the more profit-seeking, and the loopholes will be exploited. We don't suppress business, there are benefits, but civilian officials are greedy for money and military attaches are afraid of death, "the people are poor and weak, and the officers and soldiers can get by, but don't you know if it's not the slightest consequence brought about by this sweetness?" In fact, ......, at least part of the reason. ”

Li Pin glared, stunned there, at this time, he didn't even have the heart to ask about the meaning of "ideology", the meaning of this word, but the part that he could understand was enough to shock him, and after a long time, he said: "Liheng's words refer to the businessman's profit-seeking learning, which is the culprit of the weakness of my Wu Dynasty?" ”

"Nope." Ning Yi drank. Tea, "by no means so, this is a kind of development, I have the foundation, the rule of law is also developing in the process of business development, which itself is a process of mutual promotion, it can only be said that many things have not been able to keep up, which is very troublesome and complicated...... To solve the problem of the current Wu Dynasty, "then focus on merchants, currency, etc., and hope that the state will intervene in the economy", what income will be doubled several times, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and then all the problems will be solved, this is impossible.

You can't just stare at it when you taste the sweetness in business, and if it continues to develop, the whole balance will only be more tilted, which is too deformed, and something will happen sooner or later......"

Ning Yi shook his head, and Li Pin thought about it for a long time: "So, where does Liheng think that if you want to find the key to it, you should pay attention to it?" "If you really want to do it" I don't know the way, but if it's just a joke and irresponsible, heh............" Ning Yi smiled, "Why not start with Confucianism?" ”

"Does Confucianism mean today's redundant and redundant?" Li Pin laughed when he thought about it, "I used to talk to people in the past, and I also said that the root cause of the problem in my dynasty may lie in the fact that there are too many student officials, which is a big problem, but if this matter is to be solved, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than commercial affairs...... "If I say ......, it is not too much, but too little? ”

"Huh?"

Li Pin blinked, looking confused. Ning Yi turned his head and gestured in the direction of the classroom.

"Brother Li thinks that those students can do what they can do in the future after they have read the books?"

"With the teachings of Liheng, not only teach them knowledge, but also teach them the way to see things and make decisions, and several of them will be good officials in the future, and they should be indispensable."

Li Pin said seriously, Ning Yi couldn't help laughing when he sat there, and then drank. Tea, clap your hands. Li Pin was puzzled: "I don't know what Liheng thinks" What can they do? ”

"Here, that Su Wenyi can probably be a petty official today" his grades are not good, but his personality is the most out-of-the-box "has a good relationship with people, and the rest of the people, I actually teach them as shopkeepers or buddies, of course, after reading the book, "Since you have the opportunity to be an official, you can also go and try, after all, the benefits of being an official are good ......", Ning Yi counted with his fingers: "Zheng Dai, Lu Su, job money" spring and winter clothes, food and clothing, tea and wine, kitchen materials, charcoal, livestock feed, once you become an official in these years, food, clothing, housing and transportation, family members and people's expenses are all covered by the state, The state will also give a number of good land. The work is easy, the punishment is not a sergeant, the punishment is not punished, and there is no big mistake in grinding the hoe for three years, but who doesn't want to be an official......

Li Pin was silent for a long time: "Liheng actually said that such students "can only be shopkeepers?" ”

"It's not just about being it, it's about being it. Most of their personalities are honest, "It's hard to be an official." For the way of officials, judging the situation and interacting with people is the most important, "If you have the ability and ambition, you can be a good official." Dexinzhi should deal with advances and retreats, have the ability to ambition, have the ability to weigh and discern, and can be good officials, most of them can't, these things are not simple. ”

Ning Yi shook his head: "Enrich the people, strengthen the soldiers, and the next thing is to take the soldiers." The way of taking a scholar can be solved by a dedicated person, why can't you open some professional schools? Where there is no need to treasure the broom, you can arrange people to learn carpentry, arrange people to learn iron smelting, arrange people to learn cooks, arrange people to learn management, that is, to be the shopkeeper. The most important thing is that "people can be arranged to learn military strategy, people can be arranged to learn water conservancy", and "people can be arranged to learn mining ......", Li Pin was obviously puzzled and didn't agree with this very much: "If you can afford to study, who wants to learn these?" "This is the problem, how good it is to be an official, those who have the opportunity to study are rushing to become officials. There is a thousand bells in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, but ...... Why is there so much redundancy today? In ancient times, only a small group of people had the opportunity to study, there were not many literate people, and the knowledge should be passed on, and the country needed them to govern, and it was difficult to find a scholar, so this scholar only existed in the highest group, because there were not many "hearts for heaven and earth, life for the people, and learning for the saints" to open peace for all generations, too busy......

"But now? For thousands of years, the world has been developing, for example, there are many things waiting for people to do in the world, "there is one thing that is the most important, we do this one first", so it has been advocated. But now, Dexin, there are more people doing this, I don't mean Confucianism", but as an official. Why can't we separate some to do something else? After reading the book, they will think about things, "Now that the flood has reached such a point, if there is someone to study water conservancy and sort out a set of doctrines", future generations will continue to study and study, if these people do not study others, they will specialize in water conservancy, and Confucianism should only be self-cultivation. ”

For example, in the past, weaving, the mother taught her daughter, and those peasant women got a machine at home to weave slowly, some fast and some slow, the quality is uneven, and now there are workshops in the cloth industry, and female workers are hired to work in it, and some people teach them how to use the machine, what tricks can be faster, and there are also people who are considering how to transform the loom. One person can play the role of several people before, the quality is unified, and the efficiency is multiplied several times. If the efficiency of anything can be multiplied several times, what will the current Wu Dynasty look like? Isn't it easy to strengthen soldiers? ”

Of course, this is just a joke. The difficulties are so big that you can't imagine, you say that there are more Confucian students, and I say that there are fewer people who can read. As you said, "Those who can afford to go to school in the family will not learn the knowledge of these merchants and craftsmen, and Confucianism will not do such things as letting go of their status." However, since it has been saturated, "there are too many, if this Wu Dynasty really wants to take a step forward", it may only be able to consider going from here, for example, "gradually set off public opinion, first do urgent projects such as military strategy and water conservancy, resist external pressure, ensure people's livelihood, and when everyone is not so bitter, more people can study" and then consider special personnel. This is not like those dull strategies for strong soldiers, as soon as their status comes up, "there will naturally be people who understand to think and do" Now there is no status for the rest of the things, of course everyone can only study......" The room was quiet inside and outside, Li Pin lowered his head and thought hard, and the sisters and brothers squatting outside the room were holding their chins and feeling a little distressed. Ning Yi took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. ,

"Confucianism is a very great system, in addition to self-cultivation" it is also the management of people, weighing the relationship between people, hundreds of thousands of students, so many officials, the invisible level, tens of millions of people in the country, are in its trade-off, control, especially in our dynasty, redundant and redundant has obviously exceeded, the impact of various doctrines of Buddhism and Taoism, it has slightly changed the rules of the game, not only so that the interests of this large number of officials can be balanced, but also continue to grow, Let many students rush to this one after another, ten years of hard work, once famous and known to the world, almost perfect trade-off......"

He took a deep breath of tea: "I admire this kind of learning, whether it is merit or demerit, and it can be called art to record the things that some people have lived in a certain form in a certain place." Confucianism is definitely one of the greatest and most exquisite of all the arts of the ages, and such a large land, so many people, "in such an extreme and harmonious way, have united them under one rule of the game, and the wisdom of thousands of years has been raised by the mountains......"

He raised his glass and touched it on Li Pin's teacup: "It's the right time, you and me, let's taste it."

The fragrance of tea had actually faded, and Li Pin was still thinking about it, so he stood up at this time, took two steps back, and bowed deeply, and Ning Yi had no choice but to stand up.

"Li, Heng said, many I haven't figured it out, but "only in terms of what has been figured out" Liheng has surpassed me far away, and this matter deserves to be worshiped by me. ”

"Just kidding." Ning Yi returned the salute, and then said with a smile, "If it weren't for the fact that this dynasty doesn't punish crimes with words, you and I are insignificant at this time, and we don't dare to tell you anything, joking, and just making small talk......"! ~！
