Chapter 923 The unobjective Yao and the rebellious Jie
ˆ/
When the sun rises three poles, the holy bear closes the stall.
In the flea market, the Enlightenment Beast has divined so much that smoke is coming out of its head, and the ground is full of broken dominoes.
Di Fangxun asked him to perform divination several times, but all of them were unlucky. This made Di Fangxun think that the tiger had no real ability and was a fake enlightened beast. This made the enlightened beast very angry and said that you can question me but not me.
technology, I won’t charge you for this divination today, I just want to tell you!
Feudal superstition is a no-no!
Withered stems and rotten bones, how wonderful they are!
Kaiming Beast drove Di Fangxun away, closed the stall and left, and told Di Fangxun righteously that other people's divination is all nonsense. You also know that all the creatures in Hongzhou like to play dominoes, but those who burn oracle bones
Good or bad luck can be considered as a trader.
But it's different here. I learned astronomy and calendar from Azai. Just a date, you think I'm doing divination, but in fact I'm making formulas for the movement of stars.
Please call me Nicholas Kaiming Gobaihu.
“Ouch, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!”
Kaiming Beast was very unhappy, and all nine heads showed dissatisfaction. He taught Di Fangxun seriously, telling him that it was absolutely impossible to use human factors to interfere with the movement of the heavenly stems and earthly branches and disrupt the decisions of the stars.
!
The laws of heaven are constant, and it would not have been done by Yao.
Oh, you are Yao, no wonder you dance like this.
Tomorrow you can change your name to Tai Shi Ci, so you can do it.
"You are so good at counting days, why do you have to leave? It's not that I question your ability, it's just that I can't understand the formula for the movement of celestial bodies. You said that your ability is very high, but your divination method is different from other divination methods.
If it’s different, how can you prove it?”
“Oooooooo!”
Emperor Fangxun was very unhappy. Seeing the enlightened beast leaving, he wanted to impress the tiger with wealth. The enlightened beast immediately became angry and asked, "Am I such a tiger? Thirty years ago, Yi set a bow and arrow on me."
I didn't even blink at the top of my head! Because I didn't dare to open my eyes at all!
The enlightened beast cursed, saying that you are addicted to porcelain, and you are also addicted to porcelain. Why do you still look angry? You have the ability to hit me with my tiger face, but I can't do it if you slap me.
He just lay down.
After the enlightened beast left, Di Fangxun frowned and thought. Azai must have different metaphors for such days, but when it comes to things like the movement of celestial bodies, Di Fangxun knew that his astronomy level was only elementary.
, although he built the Taosi Astronomical Monument, the largest primitive observatory in the world today, but limited by the times, Di Fangxun had never completely observed the stars mentioned by Azai.
Ehuang became indifferent and explained to Emperor Fangxun that Azai was like this. Sometimes he would tell some strange objective facts, which sometimes made people confused, but whatever he said was
Will definitely do it.
Di Fangxun recalled Yu Zai’s performance in the Central Plains, and suddenly asked Ehuang:
“In this case, those days are not considered good or bad. As for Azai himself, how do you think we should describe him as completely as possible?”
Ehuang frowned slightly and quickly gave the answer:
“A person encounters a ghost, and Azai also encounters this ghost.”
"Ordinary people will be scared by ghosts and run away. Azai will go up and punch the ghost and start to perform combos up, down, left, and right. He said this is materialism."
Di Fangxun: "?"
At the farmer's market, Azai was discussing the political system and policy slots with the princes.
Lamb's whereabouts were temporarily forgotten by Yu Zai. Anyway, Lamb would not die. If he died, he would still be able to take a few bites.
Although the princes did not know that the person in front of them was Azai, they could hear Hongzhou's political philosophy from the "master" in their eyes, and indirectly examine this person.
"In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor dreamed of traveling to the country of the Huaxu clan. I have also heard of this. There was no commander-in-chief in this country. Everyone was equal and let nature take its course. They had no bad habits and lived a very quiet life. They had reached the point where they were indifferent to life and death.
In such a situation, there is no one who dies young, but they all live a long life.”
"The people there have no selfishness or greed, so they don't like or dislike anyone. The people there have no betrayal or loyalty, so they don't hurt each other. They don't like anything and are not afraid of falling into the water and drowning.
If you don't die, you won't be burned by jumping into the fire. For the people here, there will be no pain in living or dying."
"They walk in the air as if they were on the flat ground, and they can sleep in the void. Clouds and fog cannot block their sight, thunder cannot disturb their ears, and the sight of beauty and ugliness cannot tempt them, nor can cliffs.
It will stop them in their tracks.”
The princes agreed with Yu Zai's words, and Yu Zai nodded and commented.
Everyone in this country is seriously ill, probably because they ate too many mushrooms.
The previous description is very communist-style, but the subsequent descriptions become more and more inappropriate.
"At that time, people's productivity was low, and they considered the dream of Huaxu's country to be a perfect society. Some people praised it and called this social state a state of inaction. This is actually a manifestation of a small country with few people.
"
“The world actually doesn’t need these people who have lost their vitality, at least not as many as there are in Huaxu’s country.”
"Some people say that I have worked hard all my life, so what's wrong with dreaming about enjoying myself, playing music, and dancing? This is actually okay, but you can't turn this kind of dream into reality. After all, you are not a member of the Huaxu family. They don't eat or drink.
You won’t die if you don’t eat or drink.”
“Then we can have a feast.”
There was laughter all around, and the princes were analyzing it, as if they were sitting and discussing:
“Let’s ignore the first paragraph for now and look at the second paragraph.”
"There is no selfishness, no greed, so there is no like or dislike. This is great inaction in the true sense, but to this point, there is not even a little pursuit. To put it nicely, it means that you have obtained the mystery of heaven.
If it sounds ugly, it’s like the walking dead.”
"Without self-thought, there will naturally be no arguments. Without arguments, there will be loyalty and betrayal, no mutual harm, and indifference to life and death. There is no self-thought, so it doesn't matter whether you commit suicide by jumping into the river or by throwing yourself into the fire. You will both die anyway. The worst is to continue sleeping.
."
"Is this really a suitable society? Everyone has no self-thought and lives a rigid life. No one will ask about it after death. There will be no future generations to commemorate, let alone sacrifice. The whole country is lifeless, like a pool of water.
Still water."
"In the third paragraph, they can walk and sleep in the air. Wind, rain and thunderclouds cannot disturb their ears, and the beautiful and ugly cannot make them tempted. This proves that they have lost their sensitivity to the outside world and have also lost the ability to distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
But this is actually one of the most important abilities of the human race itself."
"Are flowers good-looking? Of course they are. People think flowers are good-looking, so they can't help but pick them. This is a kind of desire and action. Although it is small and not enough to attract attention, it is just an ordinary instinctive action, but it is
It is the cornerstone of human progress."
“The flower doesn’t think it’s beautiful, it just blooms naturally, but people know it is beautiful.”
"Beautiful things make people yearn for it, and ugly things make people stay away. From the Suiren clan to the Youchao clan, and then to the Zhisheng clan, people made clothes, from leaves and veneers to animal skins to retting hemp. When people put on beautiful clothes, they will
People would feel that exposing their bodies was a shame, so they pursued better-looking clothes. So, next, a woman from Shu began to raise silkworms. Silk appeared. In order to expand silk production, waist machines appeared in order to increase productivity.
, so the spinning machine appeared. A single piece of cloth was too monotonous, so the jacquard machine came."
The princes suddenly felt as if they were enlightened!
Some of them have begun to become enlightened!
Teacher, this lesson is not in vain!
Yu Zai talked about the development and production of the entire textile industry from a tiny flower. No one would have thought that the very beginning of all this was just an unknown primitive man from the Paleolithic Age picking a flower.
The so-called governance by inaction allows the people to be content with the status quo, so it is difficult for society to develop. However, the princes think that this is the best state to stabilize people's livelihood. In fact, in Azai's mouth, this is a false state. Of course, it is a false state.
A world of governance will definitely be countless times better than a world of chaos.
It is precisely because of this kind of stability that accumulation can be carried out, so it cannot be said to be wrong. When small countries with few people were advocated, it was the Spring and Autumn Period. Laozi proposed this idea. The "country" of Laozi's era was different from the later countries.
They are all different. In Lao Tzu's ideal small city-state, the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a life that values life, does not actively attack others, and lives a rich and prosperous life. Naturally, there is no need for tools to work, no weapons to attack, and no need for carriages and horses to travel far.
tour.
It seems like we are going backwards, but in fact it is just because we live just right and everything is in a natural and pristine state, so we can live comfortably without any changes or breakthroughs.
Lao Tzu’s thought, in fact, the real meaning is just four words, which is “living and working in peace and contentment”. Achieving this state is the best society. A small country with a small population is just a means and idea to achieve this goal.
It's just that the legendary country of Huaxu took a small country with a small population to the extreme. Anything that goes to the extreme will be distorted. This kind of completely desireless thought is really undesirable. After all, I am a librarian of the Zhou Dynasty.
, and once took his intern Confucius to play suona for others to earn extra money.
So now that the princes have caught the interest of Ruzai, we should speak loudly, criticize him severely, and at the same time let these princes see the world and deduct a few 666.
"If everyone cannot become a saint, then the existence of Huaxu Kingdom is meaningless. In fact, it is difficult to become a saint, and a saint should have seven emotions and six desires. Otherwise, when there is a disaster in the world, there will be no heroes. Heroes are saints, and saints are
hero."
“What is a saint? One outstanding talent among ten thousand people is called a hero. And if the level of all aspects, including moral principles, is doubled compared to that of a hero, then he is a saint.”
"Li·Liyun·Yingshu of the Three Dynasties": Ten thousand people are called heroes, and even a few heroes are called saints.
“The word holy originally refers to a person who digs the soil with his hands, so why does this person dig the soil with his hands?”
"Is it to identify whether the soil is suitable for habitation, to find underground water sources, or to seed grains? No matter what the purpose is, he takes action, his motivation is either for himself or for the people, but it is always driven by emotion.
It shouldn’t be without desires and desires.”
“Now, let’s look at the first paragraph.”
As Yu Zai was chatting, all the princes had already sat upright. The original job fair had a question and answer program. Someone actually came over to inquire about the recruitment, but was pushed away impatiently by a certain prince:
“Don’t make any noise, we’ll find you later, we’re hearing something wonderful now.”
“Then shall I go?”
The person who came was very embarrassed and could only shake his head and leave.
Sorry, maybe I came at the wrong time.
This time the princes all said that you really came at the wrong time!
At this time, Yuzai had already started to go back to the first paragraph, cut into the central idea, and analyze the deep meaning of the original author of this dream story.
(A certain chicken coop alchemist in the explosion factory sneezed.)
"A country without a commander-in-chief and everyone is equal sounds wonderful, but this is exactly abnormal. Leaders are not necessary items, but they are important minds in promoting society. Whether it is a concession system or not, it has been mentioned before.
Whether it’s a family and a world, or you may have heard that the Central Plains is planning to establish a republic, generally speaking, there must be a decision-maker to promote it.”
"The machine will not start on its own without someone controlling it. There is always a process when starting it up for the first time. Maybe you don't understand it well. To put it simply, have you seen the waterwheel? The waterwheel is installed. It is not directly
To move, it needs water to push it, or people to push it. Water and people are the decision-makers."
"But there will never be a perfect mechanical system in the world that will never go wrong. To avoid all hazards, there can be no reforms, no innovations, no whims. You can also see the development of Hongzhou today. If you and Hua
If Xu's country had the same idea, then there would be no Hongzhou and no people with enough food and clothing."
Yu Zai continued to talk and talked a lot with the princes, talking about moral restraint, the relationship between etiquette and law, equality, jealousy and exploitation, the composition and origin of states and tribes, as well as their disintegration, the coexistence of slavery and the family and the world, the nobility
part of politics
Yu Zai borrowed a person here, that is, Xia Jie, called him a certain monarch in ancient times, and then used him as a teaching material character. His specific characteristics are the same as "Xiao Ming" and "Zhang San".
The princes kept listening, and Yu Zai kept talking, saying that Xia Jie changed the political system to XX again, which caused some rebellion, and then he changed the political system to YY, which caused such-and-such consequences
“Xia Jie caused the problem of land annexation”
“Xia Jie cultivated a bunch of oligarchs”
“Xia Jie established a religious government”
“Xia Jie was forced by the nobles to rebel!”
“Xia Jie, you’re fucking breaking the law, do you know that?”
The princes began to take notes. They were in awe of Su Zai's knowledge, and their eyes were shining, full of light.
