Chapter 1221 Idiot, the problem is the economy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Science No. is galloping down the mighty Yangtze River, leaving countless scenery far behind.

    Faced with He Xinyin¡¯s question, Mr. Zhao smiled and asked, ¡°Mr. Fushan, if Jutang can develop according to your ideal state, what are you going to do next?¡±

    "Of course it will be generalized, tried out in the whole county, and then extended to the whole government, province and even the country." He Xinyin said matter-of-factly.

    ¡°So what happens in the end?¡± Zhao Hao asked.

    "In the end, the world will naturally be unified." He Xinyin twisted his beard and said.

    "Then what is the great unity of the world?" Mr. Zhao asked again.

    "The "Book of Rites" says it clearly, do you need me to repeat it?" He Xinyin pouted.

    "I need it." Mr. Zhao smiled.

    He Xinyin was just about to get angry when he remembered that he was the one asking for advice, so he had to patiently recite the long paragraph of "The journey of the great road, the world is for the common good"

    In fact, this was also his highest guiding ideology when he first founded the Judgment Hall. When he recited it after many years, it certainly had a different flavor in his heart.

    After Mr. Zhao heard this, he smiled and asked, "I wonder what we accomplished in Jutang?"

    "This" He Xinyin pondered for a while and said: "Only within the confines of the Jutang Hall, I think I have done a pretty good job. 'Select the talented and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony, and people do not only kiss their relatives, nor do they only have children.  The old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be able to grow, and the widowed, widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick will all be provided for. Men will have their share, and women will have their home.' These are basically achieved."

    "Over a long period of time, I have even achieved the goal of 'I don't need to hide my goods if they are abandoned on the ground, I don't have to hide them for myself if I don't want them to come from me, I don't pick up things on the road, and I don't close my house at night.'" After a pause, he continued  With a look of pride on his face, he said: "Even my master said with approval, 'In a few years, three generations of one party have passed.'"

    "But why is it so unsustainable?" After saying this, he fell into deep confusion again.  "Not only are the accounts unable to make ends meet, but what is even more despairing is that people have gradually become perfunctory and numb from the initial polite and religious ethos, and their work is no longer serious. A large amount of rice has been left in the fields and has not been returned to the warehouse. This has become a problem.  'There is no need to hide goods within oneself and abandon them on the ground, and to use one's strength for oneself's sake.' As a result, field harvests have been declining year by year, materials in the hall are in short supply but waste is still common, and every poor family only knows how to reach out to the hall"

    This was the first time Luo Rufang and Li Zhi heard He Xinyin expose his shortcomings.  My heart says, "Good boy, why do you raise people to be uncles?"  No wonder Lao Liang¡¯s family has so much wealth that he can¡¯t hold it back.

    "So something must have gone wrong, but where exactly is the mistake?" He Xinyin looked longingly at Zhao Hao again, as confused and helpless as a child.

    "Mr. Fushan's practice is almost perfect. If we still can't see the hope of realizing a harmonious world, it only means that this path itself is wrong. It is impossible to achieve world harmony by relying on moral education alone!"  Then I heard Zhao Hao's words sound like a bell.

    ¡°Can¡¯t we achieve universal unity through moral education alone?¡± The three of them repeated the same sentence in unison, and Li Zhi laughed and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you are still a Legalist.¡±

    "It is even more impossible to rely on harsh punishments." Zhao Hao said categorically: "If you are not careful, you will be cut in half by a car. What does it have to do with the unity of the world?"

    "Then you are a Taoist?" Li Zhi asked again: "Ruling by doing nothing, until you retreat to the state of a small country with few people where chickens and dogs hear each other but never interact with each other until death?"

    "Who has imagined that kind of life?" Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Everyone makes a living by farming. There is no shopping in department stores, and there is no writing or poetry. Everyone has become a primitive man. At least we people, I'm afraid  It¡¯s all very sad, what kind of world unity is that?¡±

    "Then who are you?" Li Zhi didn't understand.

    "I am a scientist." Mr. Zhao said with a look on his face as if you are an idiot for asking this question: "The pursuit of science is to make people's lives better. Science is skeptical of any statement without empirical evidence, so we don't know the world  Whether Datong will be realized, but I know one thing very clearly, that is, the beauty achieved by suppressing human nature is a false beauty. No matter how beautiful it is, it is just an illusory bubble, which will be burst when you poke it!"

    "Is the beauty achieved by suppressing human nature a false beauty?" Luo Rufang repeated it again, this time praising without any compliments: "As my teacher said, people's greed for money and lust are all born from their own nature.  What he does at one moment is to realize the secret of heaven, and it cannot be blocked.' It seems that we are indeed people of the same way."

    "Look, if Mr. Fushan talks to your senior brother, he will know what the problem is." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said with a playful smile: "What I find most interesting is that the Taizhou School adheres to the 'Natural Theory of Eros'. You  Mr. Fushan even criticized Confucius as worthless and treated Cheng Zhu like a pig or a dog. Why can't he escape from Neo-Confucianism when doing things?Since Tao is Tao, science is the study of how to make people live a better life.  So our two families are indeed like-minded and can help each other.  "

    "Don't go that far." He Xinyin raised his hand and frowned: "Let me explain it first. Mr. Zhao means that only by following human nature can we last long. Therefore, the responsibility of scholars should be to satisfy people's desires, so  Only then can the organization be long-lasting, the country strong, and finally achieve great unity?¡±

    "At the same time, there must be morality to set limits on desires," Zhao Hao said solemnly: "Desires that are not bound by morality are poisonous and will eventually make the country evil, causing the people to be indifferent between right and wrong, and ultimately destroy themselves."

    After a pause, he blinked and smiled: "Of course, this is the matter of your Taizhou School."

    Only then did the three of them fully understand what Zhao Hao meant when he said, "Morality is the lower limit of society."  Both Confucianism, Taoism and Law regard morality as the upper limit of society, so generations of scholars will repeatedly turn to morality.

    But in fact, it¡¯s just that they are unable to satisfy people¡¯s pursuit of a better life, so they use moral ethics to reduce people¡¯s desires and maintain social stability.  This kind of reverse operation of cutting feet to fit shoes can, of course, only maintain the functioning of society at best, but cannot bring a better life to the people.

    Although He Xinyin¡¯s Jutang has relaxed the constraints of famous religious ethics on the tribe, it still has not changed the way of restricting people¡¯s desires to maintain the operation of the system.  How could there not be any problems?

    So in the final analysis, idiot, the problem is the economy!

    ps. It¡¯s not available today. I¡¯ll try to send it out earlier tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
