The river flows leisurely, and we walk along the simple embankment. There are also houses and small threshing fields near the embankment and fields. During the forest planting, pedestrians pass by on the road leading to the market not far away.
, occasionally looking over here. Ning Yi led He Wen towards the small courtyard by the river embankment.
"...Using commerce and war to promote the development of inquiry, and using the advancement of productivity to enable people all over the world to start studying, this is the first step that must be taken. And at the end of this road, we hope that the people can grasp the truth and logic,
To make up for the shortcomings of top-down innovation, so that bottom-up supervision can digest the condensation of interests and negative factors that continue to occur in this society. Of course, there are many ways to go."
Ning Yi smiled and said: "My wife Liu Xigua very much advocates the concept of returning power to individuals. She is trying to enable the people of Ba Dao Camp to control their own destiny by relying on self-selection and rational voting. Of course, after so long,
Now, everything can only be said to be in its infancy. The people in the Ba Dao camp convinced her and followed her, but she herself was not confident whether this choice would lead to good results, and the result might be the opposite.
I don’t advocate voting autonomy at this stage. I often debate with her. If she can’t make up her mind, she will beat me... Of course she can’t beat me, but this is not good and affects... family harmony.”
Ning Yi's words were humorous, and He Wen also smiled. He had been in Black Flag for three years, so he naturally understood what kind of skills Liu Xigua of Ba Dao Camp had.
"The key that enables people to make the right choice is not reading, or even knowledge. Even if a person can memorize all the knowledge in the world, it does not necessarily mean that he is a person who can make the right choice. The key to the right choice lies in logic.
In the early stages of the development of Confucianism... or all learning, since it was impossible to explain all the principles to everyone, it was more about letting people form conventional concepts. You have to be a good person and you have to be moral. 'If you lose justice, then be polite.
"A husband's propriety is a sign of thin loyalty and chaos." A good person is moral. Is this etiquette or righteousness..."
As Ning Yi spoke, He Wen's face darkened: "Mr. Ning, you are too deviant! Morality is the foundation of human beings. Without morality, what is the difference between humans and animals! What you said..."
"Why should humans be different from beasts!?" Ning Yi gave him a sideways glance, "Today I will be a beast, not a human being, will thunder come down from the sky and strike me down! Why do I have to be a good person, why do I have to be moral, you think?
If it is a matter of course, then it really can’t be asked!? This is the last question leading to logic! If morality is a matter of course, then we are born with it, so why do we need to learn and teach it, and why do we need to ask for etiquette!"
He Wen's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he stopped where he was: "Then... I want to ask Mr. Ning for advice!" When he came to the Black Flag Army, he knew that it was almost impossible to convince Ning Yi with words alone.
, and after three years of getting along, he also had some admiration for Ning Yi, and was unwilling to resist with words at this time. As Ning Yi said, Confucianism is great, but there is something wrong after all, so no matter how he explains it
The greatness of Confucianism cannot touch the core of the opponent. He Wen knew that he was leaving, so he understood what Ning Yi was thinking before leaving. The debate was not very enthusiastic, but Ning Yi's words "Why should you be a good person?"
"Why be moral" really touched his bottom line, and at this time, he became tougher.
Ning Yi turned around, stood there, and said word by word: "The ultimate goal of being a good person and being moral is because doing so can safeguard the long-term interests of everyone without collapsing the cycle of interests."
He Wen was silent for a moment and said with a cold smile: "There is only profit in this world."
"Since Mr. He is taboo about interests, he might as well replace it with needs. When people walk in the world, their needs are not only money, but also spiritual stability and the realization of self-worth. Since ancient times when people formed society and began to cooperate, the essence of cooperation lies in
To meet the various needs of human beings. There are short-term and long-term needs. In order to make the cooperation between people last for a long time, the saints you think have summarized the various laws that need to be followed when getting along with each other. In the subsequent development
In the process, people gradually understand more and more conventional rules that need to be followed, which we call morals."
"In the past, Confucianism could not be read by everyone, and it was impossible to explain the principles to this point, so these things were passed down as things that did not need to be discussed, but only needed to be observed. For thousands of years, people really felt that these did not need to be discussed.
. But the problem that arises is that if one day I don’t want to be a good person and I am unethical, will God punish me? I will even gain short-term and more benefits. Slowly, I will feel benevolent and righteous.
Morality is all false."
After Ning Yi said this, he turned around and walked forward: "The morality of the past has taught many people to be good people. OK, now good people are a matter of course. Ordinary people will immediately deny everything when they see a little bit of 'bad'.
As I said, two interest groups are competing against each other, each saying the other is bad, and the other wants money. Can ordinary people make the best possible choice between them? The papermaking workshop is polluting, and one person comes out to say, polluting
There will be big problems. If we say that this person is a bad person, then what the bad person says is naturally bad, so there is no need to think about it. As I said before, ordinary people who are wrong to this extent in their basic understanding of the world,
Whether he chooses right or wrong is actually a matter of chance."
"When we can start to ask this question and let the relationship between morality and good people depend on each person themselves, then they can certainly make more correct choices. Under the current conditions, the interests of society can be transferred to
The longer and more long-term option is the better choice. At least they won’t be confused by the bullshit that is neither true nor false.”
While saying this, the two of them walked into the courtyard by the river embankment. He Wen knew that this courtyard belonged to the Jishan Chamber of Commerce, but he had never been there before. After entering, it was an ordinary three-entry courtyard. Several people
Accounting-looking staff were walking around outside, and there seemed to be a conference room and several work rooms in the courtyard.
Ning Yi pointed to the conference room and said: "We have had several discussions here, talking about the game principle in market development. A big concept of the game principle is that in a market composed of countless people, when everyone can
When considering the industry itself, the average value obtained by everyone is the highest. The same is true for society. When everyone in a society tries to abide by morality, everyone can gain the most benefits. This recognition is reflected in the
Later, we hope to prove it through mathematical methods and it will be enough to become the foundation theory of a society."
When Ning Yi said this, He Wen could not understand clearly, but saw that he also shook his head: "However, the development of society is often not an optimal system, but a sub-optimal system. For the time being, it can only be regarded as an explanatory theory.
I said it, but it's not easy to do. Mr. He, go inside..." He sounded like he was talking to himself, and he didn't seem to intend for He Wen to understand.
Passing through the atrium and entering the innermost courtyard, the afternoon sun was shining quietly. The courtyard was quiet and there were no people. Ning Yi opened the room in the middle. There were bookshelves in the room, three tables in the middle together, and several stacks of manuscript papers.
It was pressed with stones on the table, and there were some pen and ink inkstones and other objects beside it. It looked like an office space.
"Sit wherever you want. There are not many people here. I came back last fall. Every time I come to Jishan, I will call some trustworthy and smart young people here and ask them to think about it and then write down some exams.
The topic..."
Ning Yi pointed to the manuscript paper on the table, and He Wen picked it up and looked at it.
"As I said, I don't trust the people's current choices because they don't understand logic, so promote logic. The Confucian gentleman's way, the democracy we are talking about now, is ultimately to enable people to be independent. In fact, all knowledge
They all reach the same goal by different paths. In the end, the brilliance of human nature is the greatest. What my wife Liu Xigua wants is that in the end, the people can actively choose the emperor they want, or they can ignore the emperor and choose the prime minister they want - it doesn't matter.
, those are all details. But the most critical thing is how to achieve it."
"Then let's take the exam." Ning Yi raised his hand, "What you hold in your hand is the pass to citizenship... its waste products and prototypes. The questions we ask are required to be relatively complex and dialectical.
, and can relatively accurately point out the laws of social operation. Here I will not say that shouting slogans is a good person. For such a simple good person, we do not need him to participate in the operation of the country. What we need is to understand the complex laws of the world.
And those who are able not to be discouraged, not to be extreme, and to seek the mean in the topic... Of course, it is impossible to achieve it at the beginning."
He Wen flipped through the manuscript and saw the description of "pollution". Ning Yi turned around, walked to the door, and looked at the light outside: "If we can really defeat the Jurchens, the world can be stabilized. We will build many factories to satisfy people.
To meet their needs, let them study, and finally let them start voting. It doesn’t matter what they participate in. Before voting, they must take an exam, and the exam questions... let’s just say ten, these are the questions that point to complex questions. If they cannot answer them, there is no referendum.
right."
He tilted his head and looked at He Wen: "This exam can be discussed and copied. The questions can be released a year before the exam for them to discuss. In this way, the first batch of people can just
Anyone who can write numbers can have the rights of a citizen and make a voice for the country. Then every five or ten years, these questions will be changed according to the development of society, so that everyone in the society can understand the complexity of these questions, and try to
To understand the basic model of country operation, let it penetrate into the classroom of every school, penetrate into every aspect of every culture, and become the foundation of a country."
"Then, these questions require thousands of refinements, hundreds of millions of discussions and refinements, and all the shining points of wisdom and culture need to be condensed..."
He Wen tightened his grip on the manuscript papers, raised his head, and gritted his teeth: "These topics will make all people speak out for their own interests, will make all morals and etiquette unbalanced, and will become the cause of disaster!"
"Yes, of course there will be chaos." Ning Yi nodded, "Confucian society is based on emotion, reason, and law, and has already penetrated into everyone's heart. However, a truly harmonious society must be based on reason, law, and emotion.
auxiliary. If people all talk about immediate short-sighted benefits, it will certainly get out of hand. But if each of these questions talks about long-term benefits, the core of it will be the law and emotion! The 'Four People'
'Equality', 'Gewu' and 'Contract', what they all have in common is that they are all based on reason. Every bit of it can be clearly analyzed. Mr. He, I am the one who defeats the emotion, reason and law in everyone's heart.
the true purpose.”
"The world will be in chaos, the world will be in chaos..." He Wen said in a deep voice, "It's clear, why did you..."
"Of course there will be chaos." Ning Yi nodded again, "If I fail, it will be nothing more than a country that will rise and fall in one or two hundred years. What a pity. However, the yearning for people's independence will be engraved in everyone's heart. Confucianism
Castration can no longer be complete. They will burn like sparks from time to time. If people want to be independent, they can only be based on reason. If they succeed or fail, they will fall behind the starting point of change. As long as the study of studying things is left.
, this change will not be a castle in the air."
"In every generation in the past, when it came to change, it was from top to bottom. If it was to be from top to bottom, it must be that the party is united and opposed by different parties. Only by tying the interests themselves to each people and allowing them to effectively and effectively defend them
The rights and interests of everyone, the so-called gentlemen without party, will truly appear. When you, as an official, want to do things, they will lend you their power. They will become part of your correct ideas and lend their power to you.
You, in order to defend your own interests, will not pursue excessive returns. All of this will only be possible when the base of public understanding reaches a certain level."
He took a breath: "He Wen, it is certainly good for you to be able to see clearly the complexity and chaos here. However, do you really still want to follow the Confucian path? When you walk out of these mountains, what you will see is a
The knot is getting bigger and bigger. Confucius said that repaying grievances with directness, saying that kings, kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, he criticized Zilu for being bullied, he said, only when everyone understands the truth and is reasonable, the world will become better. When productivity is not enough, it is expedient.
It’s been nearly two thousand years, and the investigation of things will promote productivity and give a possibility that is no longer expedient. It’s time to come back.”
"My students are very good in practical knowledge, but they are still not enough in deeper knowledge. They don't think well about these topics. One day, if I defeat the Jurchens, I can summon the most learned scholars in the world.
Come and participate in discussions and set questions, but you can also start by doing it. There are already some Confucian scholars in the Chinese military doing this, most of them are in Hedeng, but it is definitely not enough. After ten or twenty years of refinement, I require ten questions.
, if you can figure it out, you can stay and propose the question. If you can't figure it out, but are still willing to stay for Jingmei, you can do your best to refute and oppose them, and defeat all these questioners."
"If these two possibilities are not possible." Ning Yi paused, "Then go home. I hope you find the path of Confucianism."
He Wen held the manuscript paper and shook it in the air with a stern look. Ning Yi smiled: "Before you left, you just wanted to know what kind of medicine I sold in my gourd. I told you sincerely. Think about it more.
If you want to defeat me, you are welcome to come." After he finished speaking, someone was already signaling at the door to let him go to the next meeting. "I still have something to do, so I will leave first. If possible... treat Jingmei well.
."
Ning Yi left here, and there were members of the Huaxia Army waiting for He Wen outside the room. The afternoon sunlight passed through the door and the window edge came in, and the dust danced in the light. He sat on a stool in the room and looked through the rough
Questions that are difficult to pronounce. Due to the complexity of Ning Yi's requirements, these questions are often obscure and difficult to pronounce, and there are often traces of various alterations. There are also some words that have been written in the manuscript paper:
"...From the basic concepts of gewuxiu and the observation of the world and society in which human beings live, we can know this basic rule: in the society in which human beings live, all conscious and influenceable changes are made by everyone who makes up this society.
Under the guidance of this basic rule, in order to seek the fairness and justice that human society can realistically achieve and seek together, we believe that people are born with the following reasonable and legal rights: 1. The right to survive
…”
This article seems to have been written casually, and the handwriting is very sloppy. Perhaps because these things look like awkward nonsense, the person who wrote it did not continue writing it. He Wenjiang has probably read this and other useless questions.
Once again, his mind was in a mess. These things would obviously cause huge disasters. He put down the manuscript and even felt that Confucianism might really be destroyed by it...
After walking out of the courtyard and returning to school, he packed up his things and did not plan to continue teaching at school. That evening when he went home with his books in his arms, someone jumped out from the side and punched him in the face. He Wen
He was highly skilled in martial arts, but he was in a daze at this moment. He only blocked it slightly and was knocked to the ground.
