"... Let's first imagine a cage for ourselves. We are upright, just, smart and selfless. Whatever situation we encounter, we will inevitably fall..." In the room, Ning Yi spread his hands and said, "Someone puts a knife on your neck.
Go up? We will not give in. The bad guys are powerful and we will not give in. If someone tells you that the world is bad, we will even slap you back. But imagine, your relatives
They want to eat, drink, and take advantage of... just a little bit. My father-in-law wants to be a minor official, and my brother-in-law wants to run a small business. People like this want to survive. You want to eat pig's trotters from outside today, but in your case
There are countless examples around you that tell you that it doesn't matter if you reach out and pick it up, because it is actually very difficult to check it from above... Mr. He, your family also comes from a wealthy family, so these things are obvious to you."
He Wen looked at him, and Ning Yi smiled: "These close relationships are more powerful than life and death, but can they really defeat an upright person? No!"
"There is still a way. If I really pursue integrity as my life pursuit, I can turn against my relatives, I can suppress my selfish desires, I can be unreasonable, and I can behave in a well-behaved manner. It's just a bit uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable. Can't you do it?
?That’s not necessarily the case. Confucianism has lasted for thousands of years and can endure this kind of
Depressed Confucian scholars abound. Even if we face only such enemies, people will regard this suffering as part of the noble. It seems difficult, but in fact there is still a narrow road to walk. The real difficulty
, it must be more complicated than this..."
"So I continued to read, continued to improve these ideas, and pursued a cycle that would trap myself in it and make it impossible to escape no matter what. Until one day, I discovered something, which was an objective rule. At that time
, I have almost completed this cycle. In this sense, no matter how upright and hard-working I am, I will inevitably become a corrupt official or a bad person..."
"What's the point?" He Wen asked.
Ning Yi looked calm and tilted his head: "All changes in the world are the result of the party uniting to defeat those who are different."
This sentence made He Wen silent for a long time: "How can I see it?"
"Because the world is made up of people." Ning Yi smiled, with complicated eyes, "When you are an official, you don't have to interact with your family, you don't have to accept bribes, and you don't have to sell anyone's face. Then when you want to do something
, Who should you rely on? If you want to fight bad guys, the government servants should help you do things, if you want to make innovations, your superiors must endorse you, and those below must strictly implement it. When the implementation does not go smoothly, you must have trustworthy assistants to punish you.
Punish them. This world seems complicated, but in fact, it is just a variety of competitions, with strong forces defeating weak ones. The so-called evil will never prevail over good is always just the good wishes of foolish men and women, and the driving force is
It’s the essence. Evil prevails over good because the power of evil overcomes good. Good prevails over evil. Many people think it’s God’s will, but no, someone must have done something and gathered strength.”
"I don't agree with this." He Wendao said, "The law of officialdom includes checks and balances in addition to party unity and opposition."
"There is such a method in the emperor's art." Ning Yi nodded, "There are checks and balances between the two factions and the three factions in the court to make them suspicious of each other. If one party benefits, it will harm the other party. But throughout the ages, I have never seen a truly honest person.
The royal family and the emperor may have no desires or demands, but the royal family itself must be the largest interest group, otherwise do you think he can really play around with various factions?"
He Wen thought for a while: "A gentleman is a group but not a party; a villain is a party but not a group."
"There is also such a saying." Ning Yi smiled approvingly, "But this is a perfect state. The current situation is that a gentleman who is in the group but not in the party will never be able to defeat the villain who is in the party but not in the group. Why? Gentlemen gather in groups.
It's because they have the same ideas. Villains form cliques because they have similar interests. Ideas can be all kinds of strange. The gentlemen who gather together today will not be the same tomorrow.
They will stand on opposite sides again. The little people are always together, forming a group, cooperating with each other, and sharpening each other. Have Mr. He ever seen the assembly line? After half a year of running in, the efficiency of the workers is more than ten times that of the mob. Military discipline is strict
Our soldiers can defeat ten times the untrained men, but all the blood here is of no use."
Ning Yi paused: "In the eleventh year of Jinghan's reign, I was in the Youxiang Mansion to assist in disaster relief. The big landowners in the disaster area have become one. This is the power of the family accumulated over the past two hundred years. In order to contain them, how can we
What to do? Introduce landlords and businessmen from other places into the disaster area with slogans and benefits. In this process, the Right Prime Minister's Office has dealt with many local officials.
The government put pressure on them. In the end, both landowners made a fortune, but the large-scale land annexation that would have occurred was curbed to a smaller scale... This is competition. There is no power. No matter how loud the slogan is, it is meaningless.
.With power, you can take as much as you are higher than others, and throw away as much as you are less powerful. The world is fair and just."
"If the Right Prime Minister's Office itself had no power, it would not even be able to achieve this kind of vertical and horizontal cooperation. But how about talking to the gentlemen about this kind of thing? The Prime Minister's Office shouted disaster relief, but in fact they took the money.
, people who work with the Prime Minister are actually still
If we make money, we call people to the disaster area, saying it is for disaster relief, but in fact they are selling grain at a higher price than usual. What should we do? Is this a good deed? A gentleman will probably float on a boat in the sea. Those who die,
Those who hold grudges will have one more level to go."
Ning Yi put his hands together: "Only when the power of good really overwhelms the power of evil, and evil cannot prevail over good, will it appear. The party agrees but opposes differences. This is the essence of all changes. If you want to do things, you must be satisfied.
In the end, your strength becomes stronger and stronger, and you defeat the bad guys. You have to give your subordinates their needs. From then on,
Coupled with all kinds of temptations and relatives who can't refuse, you can't help but retreat step by step, and finally you can't retreat. This is how I became a corrupt official and a bad person. Of course, after long-term observation and improvement, in
During this process, I saw various human desires and flaws, and saw some things that are essentially undeniable..."
"So Mr. Ning is called the inner demon?"
"So I ask your disciples. Why can't people like Mr. He get out of the Confucian circle? There is only one such outstanding person in the world? He Wen, Qin Siyuan, Li Pin, Yao Zunian, Zuo Duanyou..." Ning
Yi smiled and said, "Frankly speaking, I killed the king and threatened to be anti-Confucian. The young people here have some
Many people are full of contempt for Confucianism. The better you perform, the more you can explain to them how big the problems they face are. For thousands of years, all kinds of outstanding people have had to deal with the problems.
If the arrogance can be solved, it’s really a joke... I hope they can be humble."
"Humility..." He Wen smiled, "Since Mr. Ning knows that these problems have not been solved for thousands of years, why is he so arrogant? He thinks that he can build a new framework by overthrowing it completely. Do you know the consequences of being wrong?"
"The sun is very nice, Mr. He, let's go for a walk." The afternoon sun shone in from outside the house. Ning Yi spread his hands. After He Wen got up and went out, he said as he walked: "I don't know if I am right or not.
But I know that the Confucian path is wrong, and it has to be changed."
The two of them walked out of the room and saw Ning Xi, Min Chuyi and others looking in the corridor not far away. They both had martial arts skills, so they naturally knew that Ning Xi and other children had been eavesdropping on them outside the house just now.
He was left speechless by He Wen's argument. In the afternoon, he wanted to hear how Ning Yi regained his position. Ning Yi patted Ning Xi's head: "Go back and finish recording what Mr. He said this morning." Send them back.
He Wen saw the child go in and said: "Confucianism may have problems, but what's wrong with the way? Mr. Ning is really ridiculous."
As the two talked, they left the house and walked to the streets and fields outside. Ning Yi said: "Mr. He talked about the etiquette in the Book of Rites this morning, talked about Confucius, Lao Tzu, and the world of great harmony. Mr. He
Do you think Confucius and Lao Tzu are saints or great men?"
"The most holy teacher is naturally a saint."
"I think he should be a great man." Ning Yi smiled and shook his head.
"Then I have to ask, what is a saint and what is a great man?"
"Saints, people descended from heaven, speak the Dharma, and are teachers of all ages. They exist on two levels with us. What they say is the truth and must be correct. But great men, when the world is in trouble, are unyielding and unyielding.
, seeking a way out with wisdom will have a great impact on the development of this world.
Contributors are great people. Mr. He, do you really believe that they are fundamentally different from us?" Ning Yi finished speaking and shook his head, "I don't think there are any gods or saints, they are just two
He is just an ordinary person, but he has undoubtedly made great explorations."
These things were extremely difficult for He Wen to respond to. He wanted to sarcastically say, "How can you be sure?", but finally just shook his head. Ning Yi had already spoken again: "I, Confucius, lived in the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, people at that time
Only then came out of the primitive state of ignorance, people began to interact with each other, ideas began to collide, and the world was in chaos. At that time,
The wheels were not yet well made, writing had just broken off the oracle bones, and wooden slips had begun to be used. Faced with such troubled times, everyone began to look for a way, and a hundred schools of thought contended, and the fittest survived. As for the Zhou Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, and the ancient times going forward
There are no written records of this world. People are in troubled times and imagine that everything was good in the past. Whether it was really good or not, of course it is difficult to say..."
"In the process of finding the way, Laozi and Confucius were naturally the best. There was no writing before this, and even the legends of the past were not true. Everyone was looking at the world. Laozi wrote five thousand words about morality. Today, Mr. He is here
It was mentioned in class, and I also like it very much. "If you lose morality, you will be virtuous. If you lose morality, you will be benevolent. If you lose benevolence, you will be righteous. If you lose righteousness, you will be polite. Those who are polite will be loyal and trustworthy." Mr. He, you can see
out
, the social state that Laozi most admires, or the state of human beings, is in line with the Dao, but cannot be in line with the Dao, so we seek virtue, and benevolence comes after losing virtue, and righteousness comes after losing benevolence, and righteousness is gone, so we can only seek propriety.
, when you seek etiquette, the world will be in chaos. The etiquette at that time is actually equivalent to our current laws. Properity is what you should do, and righteousness is what you agree with. Mr. He, can you give a rough explanation like this?
"
He Wen thought about it: "It makes sense."
"Lao Tzu's greatest contribution is that he explained what a perfect society is in a society with almost no cultural foundation. When the great righteousness is abolished, there is benevolence and righteousness; when there is wisdom, there is hypocrisy; when relatives are in discord, there is filial piety and kindness; when the country is in chaos, there is filial piety and kindness.
There are loyal ministers, but there is no such thing as being virtuous and not following the right path.
These can also echo each other. Lao Tzu talked about the clues of the deterioration of the world, the levels of the world, morality, benevolence, justice and etiquette. People at that time were willing to believe that in ancient times, people's lives were in line with the Dao and were carefree.
Of course, we won’t argue with Lao Tzu about this..."
Ning Yi smiled: "You can follow your own way, and in the end, the way of heaven is beneficial without harm, and the way of the saint is done without fighting. The five thousand words of morality all discuss the basic laws of the world. It talks about the state of perfection.
It also talks about the state of each level. As long as we reach the Tao, everything will be fine. But how do we get there? If there really is an ancient world,
People's lives are in line with the Dao, so of course, all their actions will be within the scope of the Dao. How could they harm the Dao and seek virtue? "When the three kings ruled the world, the Dao in the world gradually disappeared, so they had to
"Out of wisdom, the road gradually disappears. Why does the road go? Did the road fall from the sky? Get up, and then leave again?"
"There is no other meaning in saying this. Lao Tzu is great. He saw perfection and told everyone in the world the basic principles of heaven and earth, so he is a great man. As for Confucius, he found more detailed standards and preliminary methods. He told
People, we must restore the Zhou rites, and you must be like a king.
Son, ministers must be like ministers, fathers must be like fathers, and sons must be like sons. As long as this is done, the world will naturally run smoothly. He respects principles and tells people to repay evil with kindness and repay kindness with kindness. He is everywhere
Learn from the Great Way, and eventually, when you reach seventy, you will follow your heart's desires without going beyond the rules."
"The teacher at that time told you to do this, and also explained the basic principles. Why should you do it? Because it is in line with the Dao. But if you can't do it, that's your problem... Confucius never achieved his ideals and ambitions in his life.
, we can only think that by the time he reaches seventy, he may have become more open-minded, and he is also an amazing great man."
A group of people walked through the fields and walked to the river, where they saw the Taotao River flowing by. Worldly sounds were coming from the market not far away and the waterwheels and workshops in the distance.
"This is also your personal inference, Mr. Ning."
"Yes, it's just my personal inference. Mr. He can just refer to it." Ning Yi didn't care about his response and tilted his head, "Disregarding justice before following propriety. Lao Tzu, the world where Confucius lived has already compromised justice before propriety.
How to reverse from etiquette to righteousness? Everyone thought of various ways, and even after deposing hundreds of schools of thought to only respect Confucianism, a narrow path came out. It integrated the strengths of many people and could operate politically. The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son.
,this
It's very useful. Confucius said this, everyone should have his own appearance. The state said this, ministers should be like ministers, and sons should be like sons. These can all be supervised by people. The king should have the appearance of a king.
Who will supervise? The upper levels have more room for maneuver. At the lower levels, we have slogans and programs to control them. These are the words of the sage. If you don’t understand, it doesn’t matter, but we teach you based on the words of the sage.
Just do it."
"No matter how well Lao Tzu describes the perfect state, he has to face the fact that society has actually resorted to rituals. Every generation of Confucian scholars after Confucius and Mencius, who want to educate the world, have to face the fact that the power of education cannot be universalized.
Reality, reality must pass. We cannot take advantage of the slightest difficulty.
Yu Hai, then...you don't understand why you are doing this, you just need to do this. Confucianism has progressed from generation to generation, and has set various rules for ordinary people at the lower level, and the rules are becoming more and more detailed.
Is it considered progress? According to expediency, it seems so."
Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "Up to now, before Lao Qin died, he annotated the Four Books. Based on his experience in looking at society, he found more detailed laws. Based on the principle of harmony in time, he made clear all aspects of what is needed.
The details of optimization. These principles are valuable. They can make society better, but they face a current situation that is impossible to explain clearly to most people. Then
What should we do? Let them do it first, Mr. He. The more Confucianism develops, the management and requirements for the lower levels will only become more and more strict. Before Lao Qin died, he said that attracting human desire and following natural principles. He made the truth clear
, if you empathize with your experience and do this, you will naturally approach the natural principles. But if you cannot explain clearly, it will only end up preserving the natural principles and destroying human desires. If you cannot convince them with reason, then force yourself."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that." He Wen said.
"But this process is actually castrating people's blood."
"There will naturally be more and more scholars, and there will also be more and more sensible people." He Wendao, "If we let go of the oppression of ordinary people, there will no longer be rules and regulations of etiquette, and selfish desires will be rampant, and the world will immediately become corrupt.
There will be chaos, and Confucianism is slowly trying to figure it out. How can we know that it is not the right path?"
"Nature is an idea." The two walked along the river bank, and Ning Yi said with a smile, "I, Confucius and Mencius thought clearly about one thing more than a thousand years ago, that is, the human spiritual world must reach a perfect state.
In fact, it has nothing to do with matter, and matter can even have an impact on human perfection. This
For one or two thousand years, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, in the process of cultivating people's hearts, ultimately pursued the abandonment of material desires. How society operates, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to make people's souls harmonious. Therefore, later, Confucianism abandoned ingenious and obscene techniques, fearing that
Selfish desires confuse people's hearts. But... Mr. He, don't you have any selfish desires?"
"My level is naturally not enough."
"I have it too, and so does Lao Qin." Ning Yi said, "The true wisdom in facing selfish desires is not to kill it, but to face it and even control it. Mr. He, I am a person who can be extremely luxurious and pay attention to enjoyment.
, but I can also be indifferent to it, because I know how my selfish desires work, and I can control it with reason. Be greedy in business, it can promote economic development and promote
With the emergence of many new inventions, laziness can make us constantly seek efficiency and methods in work. Wanting to buy good things can make us work hard and enterprising. Liking a beautiful woman can make us become an excellent person. Fear of death
Psychology can also help us understand the weight of life. A truly wise person must understand and control selfish desires, but cannot kill them."
"But this is also the highest realm of Confucianism."
"However, the path is wrong." Ning Yi shook his head and looked at the town ahead: "Suppress selfish desires and insist on strict etiquette at the bottom of the entire society. The suppression of greed and innovation will naturally become more and more severe. Once a country is established, we enter
This system has to form cliques for private gain. The accumulation of people leads to the emergence of aristocratic families. No matter how we try to contain it and keep checking and balancing, this process is still irreversible because the process of containment
, is actually the process of cultivating new interest groups. Over the past two to three hundred years, there have been more and more conflicts, the power of aristocratic families has become more and more solidified, and the castration of the bottom class has become more and more severe. The country dies and enters the next cycle.
Researchers of Confucianism have learned from the experience of the last time, and aristocratic families have appeared again. Do you think the method of progress will be to break up the aristocratic families, or to castrate the people at the bottom in order to suppress public dissatisfaction?"
"I think it's the latter." Ning Yi said, "The wheel of Confucianism has rolled irreversibly in this direction. When we find a way, of course we have to be sure that it will eventually achieve the perfect result. If you are expedient for a moment,
In the end, if expediency becomes the goal, then why bother?
What? Furthermore, there are objective laws for the order of things between heaven and earth. My hot-air balloon has already gone up to the sky, and the iron cannon has come out. If you don’t develop these laws, hundreds of years later, there will naturally be foreign races that develop with all their strength and drive vehicles that can fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
Equipment, knocking on your door with a cannon that can tear down landslides and cities."
"Now that Mr. Ning has made it, how can future generations discard it in the future?"
"Because Confucianism seeks harmony and stability, the study of things is by no means harmonious and stable. If you want to be lazy, want to be aggressive, and have materialistic desires, you can promote its development. If I die, you will definitely smash it."
Ning Yi stood on the river embankment watching the boats and the excitement in the town, with his hands on his waist: "I smash Confucianism because I can no longer see its future, but Mr. He, tell me about the future I imagine.
.I hope that in the future, these people in front of us will all know the basic laws of how the world works, that they will be able to read, understand reason, and eventually become gentlemen and be responsible for their own future..."
"As you said, what have those smart people been doing for more than a thousand years?" He Wen said sarcastically.
"We talked about the gentleman's group but not the party." The wind blew over the river, and Ning Yi tilted his head slightly, "When Lao Qin died, there were many charges, many of which were true. At least it must be true that he formed a party for personal gain.
At that time, there were quite a lot of people eating under the right prime minister's house. Lao Qin tried his best to keep the exchanges of interests on the right path, but he wanted to be clean. How could it be possible? I also had the blood of many people on my hands.
We do our best
It's all about emotion, but if you are purely a gentleman, you can't do anything. You may think that if we do good things, the people will support us, but in fact, this is not the case. The people are a kind of people who only hear a little bit of bad things.
They would execute the other party's people. Lao Qin was later paraded through the streets and had excrement thrown at him. From a pure standard of a good person, he was upright, had no selfish desires, and was fair and aboveboard in his methods. He really deserved it."
"Mr. Ning actually blames the people?"
"I don't blame the people, but I analyze them as objective laws." Ning Yi said, "Throughout the ages, the political system has usually been like this: there are a few people at the top trying to solve imminent social problems, and some have solved them.
Some attempts to solve them cannot be successful. In this process, other problems that have not received major attention from the upper management have been solidifying and accumulating negative causes. The country
The cycle of the family continues, and there are more and more negative causes. You enter the system and are powerless. The people below you need to eat and buy clothes. They need to be a little better and a little better. This interest group of yours may be able to solve some of the small problems below you.
problem, but overall, it will still be growing with negative causes. This is because the process of formation and solidification of interest groups is itself a process of accumulation of contradictions."
"In this process, small interest groups have to protect their livelihoods, and large interest groups have to compete with other interest groups. When the emperor or prime minister has some ambitions, he tries to resolve these solidified interest groups. The most effective way is to seek
For a new system,
This is the reform. Very few succeed, and even if they succeed, the reformers often die without a burial place. The upper echelons of power and insightful people of each generation want to work hard to break up the consolidating interest groups, but they fail
You can never compete with the speed at which your opponent’s interests solidify.”
"Insighted people like Mr. He probably dream that one day, Confucianism will develop enough to have enough knowledgeable people, so they can break this cycle. However, as long as the rules of change remain unchanged, if you want to change, you must
Accumulate another interest group and the cycle will never end."
"If we treat this as a mathematical calculation, I wonder if we can introduce another factor that has never been introduced before, so that they can naturally resolve the negative causes of society. In the end, this can only fall on these ordinary people." Ning Yi smiled.
Laughing, "Of course I have to study first."
"Mr. Ning's establishment of these paper-making workshops and the research on objects are indeed a feat through the ages. If everyone in the world can really read in the future, it will be a feat comparable to that of a saint. However, I cannot understand other than this."
"I can give you an example, Mr. He, and you will understand." Ning Yi pointed to a row of drainage trucks in the distance, "For example, Mr. He is very familiar with those paper-making workshops."
He Wen nodded: "I keep these things in my mind every day. If possible, I wish I could put them in my bag and take them away."
"Papermaking is very polluting. Mr. He, have you ever seen the drainage outlets of those paper-making workshops? We cut down several mountains of wood to make paper, and the drainage outlets are already polluted. The water is not drinkable, and sometimes people die.
Fish." Ning Yi looked at He Wen, "One day, there were paper-making workshops that discharged sewage everywhere along this river, and even in the whole world, there were paper-making workshops. All the water was polluted, and fish were dying everywhere.
People also start to get sick after drinking water..."
"How can this be so!" He Wen shouted in a deep voice.
"Just take me as an example." Ning Yi smiled, "One day, the pollution is so great, but these factories are the lifeblood of this country. People come to protest, you are a small official in the government, how can you explain to the people
question?"
He Wen frowned and thought for a long time: "I should tell the truth and explain the reasons in detail..."
"Then your boss will scold you and even deal with you! People are simple. As long as they know that these factories are responsible, they will immediately start to put pressure on these factories and demand immediate closure. The country has begun to prepare to deal with it.
There is a way, but it takes time. If you confess,
The people will immediately begin to hate these factories. Then, the government offices that do not deal with these factories for the time being will naturally become the nests of corrupt officials. If one day someone even dies from drinking water and people take to the streets, a mutiny is imminent. At the end of the day,
You are so guilty of getting out of control."
"...Then we can only deceive."
"Yes, we know that the people are so simple. We will tell them that the dead people are due to other reasons. The water pollution is not serious. The court is already dealing with it. Everyone must share the difficulties. Then the court forces these lifebloods to quickly
rectification, before public dissatisfaction boils over, let
These factories escaped quickly. Of course we know that telling the truth is a good thing, but in the face of such people, telling the truth can only make the consequences out of control. There is no way to investigate who is at fault. But unless this rule is recognized,
Otherwise how can you find the possibility of change."
Ning Yi looked at the waterwheels: "For another example, I saw pollution in the river of this papermaking workshop earlier. I stood up and told people that such a factory would have big problems in the future. At this time, the papermaking workshop is already benefiting the country and the people.
We do not allow any bad remarks to be made about this major event. We tell the masses that this guy is a bad guy sent by the Jin Kingdom and wants to cause trouble for the people.
If everyone hears that I am a bad person, of course they will knock me down first. As for whether it makes sense for me to say that there will be problems in the future, no one will pay attention to it. If I say that there will be problems in these factories, it is because I invented a relatively better paper making method.
Method, I want to make a fortune, and when people see that I am doing it for money, of course they will start criticizing me again... These are all objective attributes of ordinary people."
"Faced with people who have such objective attributes and simple likes and dislikes, if one day our yamen servants do something wrong and accidentally kill someone. You and I are minor officials in the yamen. If we confess immediately, our yamen servants will
If there is a problem, what will happen? If possible, we first start to discredit this dead person, hope
The matter can go away like this. Because we understand the people's psyche. If they see a problem with one yamen officer, they may think that the entire yamen has a problem. The process of their understanding of the matter is not concrete, but chaotic, not reasonable, but
Those who talk about love... At this stage, they have almost no meaning to the country."
"But what if one day, they make progress?" Ning Yi looked softly: "What if our people begin to understand logic and reason, they know that it is best to be moderate in worldly affairs, they can discuss things as they are, and they can analyze things without being deceived.
.When we face such people, someone says that this paper mill will have problems in the future, and we discredit him, but even if he is a bad person, what this person said,
Is the problem of the paper mill possible? At that time, will we still try to solve the problem by smearing people? If the public does not think that all government officials are bad guys because of one government official, and they are not easy to be deceived, even if we say death
If this person has a problem, they will also pay attention to the problem of the government officials, so will we use the problem of the deceased to solve the problem of the government officials as soon as possible?"
"The imperial government's organs will be perfunctory. It's like I said how to be perfect, but down to the individual, we are just ordinary people. We deal with dozens of things every day. Our superiors want to ask questions, but the imperial court does not ask for anything.
problem, then, the principle of the officials in the yamen to deal with the problem will be to choose the simplest and most cost-effective method and just explain it to the past. This phenomenon
It is not easy to change. If people start to become sensible, the cost of perfunctory will continue to increase. At this time, because people are not extreme, they will choose to be frank. Reasonable people will become a person who absorbs negative factors.
Mat, feed back to the imperial court, and actively resolve the solidification of social interests. This process is the so-called people can be independent, and it is also the true meaning of a group of gentlemen rather than a party."
"It's certainly not easy to achieve this point. You said I blame the people, but I just hope that one day they will understand what kind of society they are in. All changes are caused by the same party and the rejection of dissent. Lao Qin is an interest group, and those solidified
Landowners, Cai Jing and others are also interest groups,
If there is any difference, people like Cai Jing took 90% of the benefits and gave 10% to the people. Lao Qin, maybe took 80% and gave 20%. The people thought
If you want a good person who will give them 100% benefit, there is only one way to achieve it."
"Let's first look at the one who gave us 20%, support him, and let him replace the 10%, and we got 10% more. Then maybe someone is willing to give us 25%, and we
Support it and replace the former, and then maybe someone will appear who is willing to give us 30%, and so on. In this process, there will be only
If you are willing to give us 20% back and deceive people, people have the obligation to see it clearly and resist it. The world can only change through the transformation of interest groups. If we want a 100% change from the beginning
Good people, then, have misunderstood the laws of the world, and all choices, whether right or wrong, can only be left to chance, and these choices are meaningless."
"This process involves a lot of professional knowledge. The public may one day understand, but it is absolutely impossible to understand everything by themselves. At this time, he needs trustworthy professionals to refer to their opinions.
, these professionals can know that they are doing important things, can be proud of their knowledge, and can spend their whole lives seeking the truth, even facing the powerful and dying. In this way, they can gain
The trust of the people. This is called the cultural self-esteem system."
"The people can understand reason, and the society can have cultural self-esteem. Only with these two can the core of democracy be formed, and society can be cyclical and no longer depleted." Ning Yi looked at He Wen: "This is why I will not embarrass you.
reason."
"...I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve it." He Wen looked at it for a moment and said calmly. "Then study first." Ning Yi smiled and said, "Take the exam again." (To be continued.) Your support is mine.
