History has once again proved that some of Marx's views on money are correct, not only for Westerners in the Age of Discovery, but also for the Tang Dynasty, a civilized country that pays attention to poetry and etiquette, which is a one-size-fits-all view, and those who can resist this temptation are either those who have so much money that they have no place to spend it, or those who can really treat money as dung. Chapters are updated the fastest

Fortunately, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty, who are familiar with poetry and books, and know benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and their attitude towards money is dispensable, or disgusting, but without exception, this kind of person is not short of money, and he does not lack money to live or live comfortably, and at the same time he is a great Confucian who reads poetry and books, of course, in this period, as long as he is a Confucian who reads poetry and books, he will not lack money.

From their standpoint, they will not understand the practice of those Shengdou Xiaomin who will rush forward desperately without saying a word once they hear that there is a way to make money, they will only think that this is a very ignorant and greedy practice, and they will deeply despise it, and say a lot of things that worry about the country and the people, but they will not mention how to change this situation.

Wei Zheng was one of them, but he thought about it more, and his life was not so extravagant.

"Suhou's tea is still so fragrant, but compared to the previous tea, how can it smell like copper? Well, it must be that the old man has not rested well these days, so he led this situation, it is the old man's fault, Su Hou, please don't care. Wei Zheng took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then put down the teacup with a calm face.

Suning looked helpless. For this stone in the stinky and hard pit, you can't suppress him with power, you can't fool him with your mouth, Li Erma's strategy of Jin Yuan and sticks that has been tried and tested is broken and sunk here by Wei Zheng, so among all the court officials, Li Erma's biggest headache and most unwilling to face is Wei Zheng, every time he sees Wei Zheng eager to try something, Li Erma's Xià will quickly set the tone or find someone else to top the cylinder, and he is absolutely unwilling to confront Wei Zheng alone.

Li Ermaxi can't deal with people, Suning naturally feels a headache, Wei Zheng is not old-fashioned. I won't take Zi Shiyun's to do a senseless battle with you. The places he focused on were places that those great Confucians who read poetry and books could not take into account, Wei Zheng was once poor and could not eat. He understands the importance of having a full stomach. Understands better than anyone else.

So as soon as he opened his mouth, he would hit the nail on the head. Don't take poetry and etiquette to talk to you about things that don't matter, Suning is a little difficult to resist this kind of straightforward inquiry, he has been in Datang for so long. I haven't met a few people who can meet and talk to people, basically they are talking nonsense with cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and there are too many ghosts, and people are a little bad at talking.

What does Mr. Hyun Sung mean by that? Tea is tea, how can the smell of copper be contaminated with tea leaves? Suning said with a wry smile.

Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Hehe, Su Hou doesn't understand, this tea, it is fried and grows between heaven and earth, how can it be contaminated with the smell of copper?" It's just that after being picked, in this process of frying, it is inevitable to be touched by some people who are interested in it, and this touch will inevitably be contaminated with some copper smell, this tea is a fragrant and delicious drink, and now it is contaminated with this smell, alas, you can't drink, you can't drink it! ”

Listening to Wei Zheng's sneer, Suning was a little unhappy, and asked directly with a straight face: "Old man Wei, what do you mean by this?" Say whatever you want to say, don't beat around the bush, I'll listen, sir! ”

Wei Zheng stood up and asked sternly, "You fanned the flames behind the matter of the Seven Kings going to sea!?" ”

Suning also stood up and said, "What do you mean I'm fanning the flames? This is indeed what I said, and I told them that they could get a lot of wealth by going to sea, so what? ”

Wei Zheng pointed at Suning and shouted, "Shaft! How are you? The old man of the Seven Kings can't manage it, and he doesn't want to take care of it, it has nothing to do with the old man! However, you have attracted many private merchants and people to go to sea together, and the old man has also heard that the sea is extremely risky and it is very easy to encounter danger to his life, but you still say it, tempting others with huge benefits, so that they will abandon their wives and children to go to sea to do business, do you know how much impact this will have on Datang? ! ”

Suning replied calmly: "Don't tell me this, abandoning your wife and children is an accidental phenomenon!" The law of the Tang Dynasty has long been clear, the only son in the family or those who have no surplus labor in the family are not allowed to go to sea, and the government soldiers are not allowed to go to sea, which directly restricts the composition of people going to sea! It is clearly stipulated that it is absolutely forbidden to abandon his wife and children, and even if there is, it is a minority, and he will never dare to be blatant, at least it is difficult to find out! Where did you learn that someone abandoned his wife and children, which state and which county? You sue me! ”

Wei Zheng didn't speak, obviously he also said that he slipped his mouth, and said that he was used to it, but he was refuted by Suning.

Suning continued: "You can't say it, right? Hehe, I know you can't say it, the law on going to sea also says that going to sea is extremely risky, once you encounter a storm at sea, you have to think twice before you go, once you enter the sea, you can't turn back, unless you come back with wealth after doing business! Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility of coming back, and under the repeated orders, all those who are willing to go are of their own volition, but there are things that I instigate to save zài?

I have repeatedly stressed that this matter is extremely risky, and I have repeatedly stressed that this matter is not easy to achieve, and that their lives are in great danger, but they still have to go! It wasn't my instigation, it wasn't me fanning the flames, it was their own volition, in order to live a good life, they took risks and fought for wealth in danger! They are the same as us, and the generals in the army, they are all risking their lives to fight for wealth! What reason do you have to accuse them?! ”

Wei Zheng was still speechless, Suning paused for a while, drank a little water, and said: "I was forced to go to sea by the Seven Kings, this is the task given to me by His Majesty, to appease the royal family, so that the royal family can find a way to make money, His Majesty has not been very good to the royal family, the people in the royal family have a lot of complaints, His Majesty wants me to find a way to make money for the royal family, and I have an explanation for them." I'll just talk about it.

It's just that this matter is too wide-ranging, and there are too many things that need to be done, so that His Majesty is also very concerned, and then I don't know who spread it out with false rumors, plus the big posture of the Seven Kings going to sea, the people have moved, we can't stop the thoughts and actions of the people who want to get more money, this is their freedom, which of the Tang Dynasty laws does not allow the people to get more money? Nor did the people not be allowed to go to sea, it was legal!

The people were looking for money. It's the same as the Seven Kings' quest for money. As for the great danger of the sea, I think it is not enough to just put it into writing, until someone comes back after this voyage and tells the story of the danger at sea. Datang will have a more far-reaching understanding of maritime business. Until that time. Those who lack courage will naturally stop here, and only those who really want to fight for wealth and wealth will continue to go to sea! ”

Wei Zheng finally didn't say anything more, but let out a long sigh. sat down in the chair again, and said very calmly: "The old man does not have any doubts and objections to this matter, of course, the old man can also see the huge benefits overseas, if you really find those ownerless land, and there is really a matter of exchanging porcelain for gold, it is really excellent, Datang will no longer lack money, and there will be more sufficient reserves for marching and fighting in the future, and perhaps there is no need for the people to pay taxes after hard work to maintain Datang's conquest."

The old man knows that this is a good thing for Datang, but the old man is worried that people's hearts are not ancient, and the pursuit of money is not a wrong behavior, the old saying has a cloud gentleman loves money, and there is a way to take it, Tao Zhugong and other great sages are also businessmen, the old man is not looking down on money, the old man also knows that it is difficult to move an inch without money, and he can't even eat without money, and the old man is worried that when the people take the pursuit of money as a habit, the whole Datang will have unpredictable disasters. ”

Suning was stunned when he heard this, and finally sat down quietly and said, "Mr. Xuancheng, do you believe in the inherent goodness of human nature or the inherent evil of human nature as Xunzi said?" ”

Wei Zheng raised his head and looked at Suning strangely, and said: "The old man believes that at the beginning of people, nature is good, that is the beginning of the "Three Character Classic" you wrote, you don't want to tell the old man that human nature is evil at the beginning." ”

Suning said with a wry smile: "That's right, the reason why Ning said that people's original nature is good, one is to pursue rhyme, and the other is to not want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among the people, Confucius and Mencius both think that people's original nature is good, but when it comes to Xunzi, there is a saying that people's original nature is evil, and therefore Xunzi's high disciple Han Feizi got rid of Confucianism and became a legalist, advocating to govern the people with strict punishment and strict laws.

Confucianism advocates that sex is good, to restrain the people with etiquette, to educate the people with benevolence, while Legalism advocates that sex is evil, to restrain the people with law, to regulate behavior with law, among the two, rather biased towards the behavior of Legalism, Mr. Xuancheng is also worried about the people's moral corruption in pursuit of money, which is not difficult to see that for a certain amount of money, people can pursue money regardless of their lives.

Is sex inherently good? If Mr. Xuan Cheng is fortunate enough to get along with a young child, you give him a date, and then you go and get the date back, you can try, whether the child will honestly return the date, or hold on tightly and not let go, if you take it by force, you will cry non-stop, if this is the case, will you still believe that people are really kind at the beginning? If you are really kind, you will regard what you give him as your own wealth, and try to prevent you from taking back what belongs to you when you want it back? ”

Wei Zheng was really stunned this time, Suning's words gave him a great impact, he was stunned for a while before asking, "Then what?" ”

Suning smiled: "Then? And what then? If we are true to humanity, we still need someone to be a teacher to teach children how to behave and how to do things, to teach children to understand etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and to understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, why do we need to do this? It can only be said that at the beginning of people, they don't understand anything, only instinctive consciousness, that is, human nature is evil, so we need those sages who have learned benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom to teach the newborn children and lead them to the right path.

It's just that the Confucian school overestimates the role of indoctrination, believing that indoctrination is a qiē, and as long as there is indoctrination, the world can be realized, so as to ignore a qiē, but rather believes that only by blending Legalism and Confucianism together is the best practice, and while attaching importance to indoctrination, it is also necessary to establish perfect and strict laws.

The first thing Zhuge Liang did after entering Shu was to go to Liu Bei, and convened the famous people in Shu to jointly formulate the strict "Shu Branch", he believed that Liu Zhang was weak, the people under his command did not obey the law, and it was common to kill people on the street, which was difficult to dispatch.

Ning also thinks that once people have a lot of money and meet their own needs, it is inevitable that they will not have some other thoughts, and if people do not have enough money to provide for their own lives, they will have some other thoughts after a long time, rich people will sin, and people without money will also sin, can education teach them not to sin? Is there anything you can't do in order to eat?

Ning Shi did not dare to agree with the doctrine of the omnipotence of education, the troubled times are tolerant, and the world is relaxed, so Ning plans to imitate Zhuge Liang's example when the business of going to sea is in full swing, and set up a strict law for business, and rewrite the law of Zhenguan!
