Congratulations to @ Qingshui Anliu for becoming the leader of the Mingyang World Alliance, bow and thank you!

**********************************************

Qin Mu had just returned to the Great Qin Palace from Xiyuan, and Sima Kai was already waiting for an audience in Xiangyun Tower.

Qin Mu summoned him to the Huagai Hall and asked, "Le Zhi wants to see me, what is the matter?" ”

Sima Kai replied with a spring breeze on his face: "Your Majesty, according to your will, Weichen has completed the revision of the first drafts of "Mathematics", "Geography", and "History" for enlightenment education. ”

Sima Kai has been compiling books since he drove to Ningbo in the spring of last year.

Qin Mu felt that the current enlightenment textbooks only had "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", and thought it was very inappropriate.

As Xu Guangqi said, mathematics is the mother of encyclopedias, how can there be no mathematics in enlightenment education?

The other is geography and history, which is read to teenagers, so that they can broaden their horizons and understand the world, so that they can know from an early age how high the sky is, how big the world is, and have a preliminary understanding of the cultural differences between countries.

Finally, texts such as "Physics", "Chemistry", and "Geometry" must also be compiled.

It's just that there are not many people who have a deep understanding of these disciplines at present, so most of them still rely on Qin Mu himself to take the time to compile them little by little based on the memories of his previous life.

Sima Kai may not have fully realized the significance of this matter, and he just regarded it as a will of Qin Mu to accomplish it. Now that he can finally make a difference, he seems very relaxed.

Since returning to Nanjing, Qin Mu has asked him to read the compilation draft, and has also proposed revisions many times. After Sima Kai handed over the first draft, he looked through it carefully, and said with a little satisfaction: "It's not bad, it's hard work." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please. Listen to you. ”

"The seven northern provinces are withering, and the style of study is far inferior to that of the south of the Yangtze River, so I decided to allocate two million taels of silver from the inner treasury to set up some Mongolian schools in the states and counties of the seven northern provinces, so that local school-age children can go to school for free. This matter is too big for me to ask in person, and I need a capable and trustworthy person to preside over it, so I'm glad I did."

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go."

"Can I trust you?"

"陛xià. The minister is willing to smear the liver and brain to repay His Majesty. ”

"Hahaha! At the time of my Northern Expedition, the officials had examinations in various places, and many people who had not been hired as officials had been recorded. After you arrive in the seven northern provinces, you can follow the map. Take these people as a teaching, understand? ”

Wei Chen understands that it's just that His Majesty has invested so much money this time. I want to go to the local government."

"No!" Qin Mu interrupted him and said, "As for the channel of appropriation, I will instruct Xu Yingjie to go directly to Huitong Bank in the future." Without the intervention of local officials, local officials are only responsible for supervision. ”

"Wechen understood."

The two discussed a pillar of incense about this matter, and Qin Mu gave him a face-to-face lecture. Sima Kai wrote them down one by one.

After this matter came to an end, seeing that Qin Mu was in a good mood, Sima Kai couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that on today's feast, everyone is fighting for red faces, but unfortunately the minister was unable to listen, it is really a great regret in his life, when the minister entered the palace, even the restaurant and tea shop on the street were arguing fiercely. ”

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Sima Kai glanced at him quickly and said, "Your Majesty, this Confucianism, Law, and Taoism, in fact, in the eyes of the minister, there is nothing to fight about. ”

"Oh? Tell me, I want to hear it, what do you think? ”

"His Majesty treats his ministers like confidants, and his ministers are also exposed in front of His Majesty, and there is nothing to taboo, in the minister's view, the previous dynasties are ostensibly Confucianism, but the three governing strategies of Confucianism and Taoism are not lacking, and they are all used, but they are just different in primary and secondary ways."

"Hahaha, this is a well-known secret, but it can't be said."

Sima Kai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is in front of His Majesty, there is no end to words, and there are no secrets to speak of. ”

"Okay, show less loyalty, say less and do more, that is true loyalty."

"Yes, yes, what His Majesty taught is that the minister must keep it in mind. It's just"

"Just what?"

"The minister just wants to ask, His Majesty has no other meaning for the three schools of Confucianism, Law and Taoism, and favors the minister, just to better understand the holy will, so as not to mess up His Majesty's affairs." Sima Kai asked cautiously with a smiling face.

Qin Murang took the tea brought by Liu Rus, and said while removing the leaves on it: "The first thing in governing the country is benevolence and morality, and I naturally respect Confucianism. ”

At the beginning of the Great Qin Dynasty, at this time, Qin Mu would never deny Confucianism, on the contrary, he wanted to strengthen his centralized power with the help of Confucian monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and the upper and lower levels of respect and inferiority.

Because only in a state of high centralization can his will be better implemented.

Sima Kai was a little discouraged when he heard this, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there nothing else?" ”

"Of course there is, a market economy."

"A market economy? Majesty, which doctrine is this, why haven't you heard of it? ”

Qin Mu smiled and said nothing, whether it is from ancient China or from the experience of later countries, it has fully confirmed one point, that is, if a country wants to prosper, it cannot do without one element, that is, the market economy.

Later generations of China followed the path of a planned economy, and the results proved that this set would not work in any country, and could only follow the market economy.

"The so-called market economy is to respect the natural laws of the market, let it flow according to its own laws, survive the fittest, and do not interfere too much with the government."

"Ahh Sima Kai exclaimed, "Your Majesty, isn't this the rule of Taoist inaction?" ”

Theoretically, the source of the concept of market economy comes from Taoism.

The market economy should respect the laws of nature, which is basically the same as the Taoist advocacy of "Taoism is natural, and the rule is ruled by inaction", emphasizing that the upper and lower levels are like water, allowing them to flow on their own according to their own laws, respecting the market mechanism, and not interfering too much with the government.

Judging from the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan in history, the "rule by inaction" used is precisely because it follows the laws of the market economy. Therefore, it can quickly recover from the ruins and make people's livelihood very rich. In later generations, China engaged in a planned economy, but as a result, it took a detour for several decades.

"But Your Majesty, there was the rebellion of the Seven Kings after the rule of Wenjing, and the rebellion of the Wu clan after the rule of Zhenguan, these are all lessons from the past."

Qin Mu smiled faintly: "Therefore, the operation of the market economy must be based on individual morality and social ethics, on the one hand, we must emphasize the natural laws of the market economy, and on the other hand, we must emphasize that everyone must have higher moral integrity. ”

"陛xià. The minister understood, this is Confucianism. ”

"But it turns out that the so-called ethics, in addition to guiding, is far from enough, because there are always some people who are immoral for their own interests, so it is necessary to formulate detailed regulations to impose a moral bottom line that must be observed."

"陛xià. This is Legalism. ”

Sima Kai exclaimed again, the dispute between Confucianism, Taoism, and Law has never been conclusive, and the past dynasties have not focused on this. It is difficult to grasp the proportions of the other, and there are always many drawbacks in operation;

Like the Qin State, it focuses on Legalism. As a result, the people were unbearable, and the flag was rebelled; At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the emphasis was on Taoism. As a result, the Compendium did not exist, and the Seven Kings rebelled. The rule of Zhenguan of Tang Taizong seemed to be prosperous, but it also left a lot of drawbacks.

If you follow Qin Mu's theory of governing the country:

To implement the market economy with the rule of Taoist inaction,

Confucianism to establish social ethics and ethics,

Legalists are used to scale a legal bottom line.

The three are no longer contradictory, but a relationship that complements each other and complements each other.

If the country wants to be rich and strong, it needs the Taoist rule of inaction and let the market economy move freely.

But when people have money, they often become bad, so at the same time, Confucian etiquette, benevolence, wisdom and faith are needed to improve people's moral standards, so that they will not be materialistic and morally degraded because of social wealth.

However, Confucianism can only play a guiding role, not force the scale of human behavior. No matter how you guide, there will always be people who abandon basic morality for their own benefit;

This requires Legalists to stipulate a social red line that you cannot cross, otherwise it will not be a moral condemnation, but a punishment to be disposed of.

The three operate in parallel, without favoring anyone or abandoning anyone, so that they form an iron triangle for the healthy operation of society.

After Sima Kai listened, he had the feeling that listening to Jun's words was better than reading for ten years, and he couldn't help but bow solemnly and kowtow repeatedly.

"What His Majesty said today, such as Daigo empowerment, minister, Xie Majesty's teachings, Xie Majesty's trust. I want to follow His Majesty to accomplish this great cause. ”

"Remember what you said, and get up." Qin Mu said casually, he had been thinking about this for a long time.

The statecraft must be smoothed out so that policies can be formulated step by step within this framework.

Taoism, Confucianism, and Legalism, combined, can put a country's governance on the right track, and then become prosperous and strong, but is this enough?

If it's a closed country, that's enough.

Qin Mu said slowly: "What I want is not only to make the country rich and the people strong, but also to have a Great Qin Empire that is at the top of the world, not only to focus on the country, but also to look at the world, so I also need to have characters like Guiguzi and Su Qin Zhang Yi to solve external problems with their strategy and vision." ”

The kind of confidence when Qin Mu spoke, even Liu Ruyi, who was waiting beside him, inexplicably gave birth to an urge to bow and worship.

Sima Kai, who thought that it was enough to have Confucianism, Law, and Taoism, said again in a lost voice: "Zonghengjia, Your Majesty"

Qin Mu didn't seem to hear his exclamation, and then said, "Can one mouth solve all problems?" Apparently not. Good strategy and vision can give you the advantage and initiative, and you can solve many problems, but definitely not all. In this world, many times, you still have to use your fists to speak. ”

Sima An exclaimed again: "Soldiers! ”

Yes, no matter how good the columnists are, they can't do without a strong army as a backing, otherwise you can only keep walking a tightrope.

"A brave and resourceful general and a well-trained soldier will certainly make your army strong, but as the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons."

Sima Kai no longer exclaimed, but said a little out of strength, "Mo family! ”

Mohists pay attention to epistemology, logic, geometry, geometric optics, statics and other disciplines, and among the hundred studies, Mohists pay the most attention to natural science. To sharpen their tools, they need this knowledge.

Taoism, Confucianism, and law, the three schools are governed internally.

Vertical, horizontal, soldier, ink, three external. Both inside and out.

The reason why Sima Kai screamed again and again was because although everyone was familiar with the hundreds of schools, Sima Kai had never seen anyone who could make the relationship between the families so smooth.

If these six can show their strengths and complement each other, the strength of the Great Qin Empire will definitely make the world tremble!
