If it is like the society of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although the law has prohibited the private killing of slaves, it is commonplace and customary for real masters to kill slaves, and no one thinks it is wrong, like Wang Mang who kills his sons for slaves.
How can your actions be praised by the world?
At this moment, the world's thoughts are already here.
Maybe it has not swept the world, but it has spread in Shenluo and the entire Confucian community. As a Confucian scholar, Jiang Li will be deeply disgusted if he does such a thing again!
In fact, it has almost touched the bottom line of Xu Yuan and Lu Ping.
"What is a benevolent person? A benevolent person is one who is loved by people and has a heart of kindness, kindness and compassion, so that he can be born. Does Jiang Zi know that?"
Xu Yuan said seriously.
Jiang Li's scalp was numb. Calling him Zi here is not an honorific, but means boy. This sentence actually means admonishment.
"only!"
Jiang Li bowed.
"A benevolent person loves others and does not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." Xu Yuan said coldly.
"only!"
This is a more severe admonition. A benevolent person loves others, which is derived from the principle that do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
If you don’t want others to treat you this way, you can’t treat others this way!
This is to severely criticize Jiang Li's behavior, which is contrary to Confucian benevolence.
Jiang Li's face was ashen and his figure was crumbling, and he could already imagine his fate.
Seeing him like this, Lu Ping slightly signaled Xu Yuan with his eyes, asking him to stop.
This person still has uses. The Jiang family is one of the richest families in several surrounding counties.
They came with a mission, to monitor and test Tao Xiaowu and others along the way.
And now that Tao Xiaowu and others have entered Huang Yidao's sphere of influence, they seem to be colluding with Huang Yidao.
Only local snakes like the Jiang family can help them!
Confucianism is so powerful that it may not care about local cowards like the Jiang family.
But as individuals, they need the help of the Jiang family to complete the task... This is related to their personal future.
Therefore, at this time, Lu Ping shook his head slightly and stopped Xu Yuan from talking anymore.
If you continue to press like this, that guy Jiang Li will probably just commit suicide to apologize!
"Jiang Jun, it's good if you know your mistakes. As the saying goes, you can correct your mistakes when you know them. There is no great virtue. In the future, Jiang Jun should know that benevolent people love others..."
The word benevolent and loving here is just a verb!
After hearing Lu Ping's rescue, Jiang Li wiped his cold sweat and said gratefully: "Wei!"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion and noise below.
"It's not good, it's not good. Some thieves opened the side door and let the followers in yellow clothes rush in..."
"Report to the official, report to the official quickly!" Lu Ping shouted coldly.
"It's too late, and this is not in the city. The Jiang family has a bad reputation, and the officials probably don't want to take care of it!
Maybe we can come forward and persuade the villagers..." Xu Yuan hesitated.
"No, it would be okay if these villagers acted voluntarily. But with the promotion of the Yellow Clothes Sect, things today may not be good.
Jiang Jun, don’t panic at this time, lead people to guard the inner courtyard immediately!
In addition, take this famous thorn and go to the city to report to the official immediately!
Xu Jun, I know what you are worried about, but at this time, the most important thing is to prevent the possible civil uprising!" Lu Ping said while remaining calm.
Then Jiang Li asked: "But if there are any injuries to the villagers..."
"In urgent matters, follow authority!" Lu Ping said calmly.
He also comes from a wealthy family and is very familiar with how to deal with these villagers.
It is clear that the people are like water and fire!
Once it spreads, it can destroy everything.
Therefore, the reason why knowledgeable Confucian scholars from wealthy families advocated loving others and improving the treatment of slaves and children also had this aspect in mind.
But once there are signs of civil unrest, it must be suppressed immediately without any hesitation.
From this point of view, it is actually inevitable that Gongyang will be replaced by Gu Liang and Zuo Zhuan.
Although the other world experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this world experienced the chaos of the Middle Ages.
Countless ideas exploded, and academic knowledge spread to the middle and lower classes to a certain extent.
But according to the general trend of history, aristocratic families began to slowly take shape, and Confucianism and landlords merged.
After all, after that period of proliferation, there was no competition among countries and an environment of turmoil and chaos.
In the absence of hundreds of schools of thought and countless scholars competing for each other, knowledge will gradually become monopolized.
In the end, only rich people can afford to read!
This has been proven by history!
At this time, under the orderly command of Na Lu Ping, the Jiang family manor began to send people to the government to ask for help, and at the same time began to prepare for defense.
Tao Xiaowu, Zhong You and others outside Zhuangzi saw the situation in the manor and laughed: "It seems that there are experts in the Jiang family!"
"They are not necessarily from the Jiang family. I heard that two Shenluo scholars are among them!" Tao Xiaowu smiled.
At this time, the outer wall of the Jiang family manor had been opened and captured by the slaves inside and outside.
Thousands of Huangyi Dao followers rushed into the manor like locusts.
Most of these followers of the Yellow Clothes Way are poor people and slaves.
Huang Yidao led these poor people and slaves to negotiate with the local wealthy families and strive for benefits, etc., and gained the welcome and support of the poor people and slaves of the middle and lower classes.
However, these people are a mob after all. They can obey orders at first, but once they rush into the manor, they can no longer be restrained.
As soon as the first person starts to vent their violence, it quickly spreads, and everyone starts to rob property, and some even rape and rape people.
"This is humanity. Like floods and flames, once it overflows and rages, it can destroy everything. No wonder it has been regarded as a scourge throughout the ages!"
At the same time, an idea in Tao Xiaowu's mind became more and more clear. In this world of Yu, sooner or later the pill will be taken!
This is not the ending that Tao Xiaowu saw from history books, but a personal experience.
The internal conflicts have accumulated to this point... It is estimated that this was also the case in the late Han Dynasty in other worlds, which led to the subsequent Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In fact, the accumulation of conflicts in the Han Dynasty was already very serious in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. According to loose statistics, the world's population was only over 50 million, but the number of slaves and maidservants exceeded 10 million.
Note that the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the laws were strict and detailed. Tax collection was also a calculation of taxes. It was a poll tax, which was collected directly on the forehead of everyone, including slaves.
In order to suppress business and restrict slave-holding, the fortunes of merchants and slaves were doubled compared to ordinary people.
In order to restrict the private possession of slaves, Wang Mang ordered his superiors and subordinates to pay 3,600 for each slave he owned, which was thirty times the amount for ordinary people.
Therefore, slaves in the Han Dynasty must be counted in the population tax, and it is unlikely to happen after the Wei and Jin Dynasties that the wealthy families hid their population on a large scale.
At least one-fifth of the world's slaves are slaves, and how many more are there poor people?
