The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 24 For the rich and unkind, damn it!

Liu Bei emptied the food in the treasury, and finally let the nearly [-] refugees have a good meal.Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Bei was not able to accommodate so many refugees, so he could only order them to sleep on the spot.

Fortunately, it is midsummer now, so I am not afraid that people will freeze to death.

Many refugees came all the way from Jingxing Mountain, most of them were exhausted, and they slept soundly.

Liu Bei ordered hundreds of soldiers to keep watch at night to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Even if the first day of the refugees entering the city passed without any danger.

The people slept soundly, but Liu Bei could not sleep peacefully.

He summoned Lin Chao, and discussed the next move with Guan Yu and the others in the room.

Of course, when Lin Chao came, he arranged for Tian Feng to go back, and ordered Dian Wei to watch him, and invite him to continue watching the big show tomorrow.

"Zichu, there were only half a month's food left for 1000 people in the city, and now they have been fed by [-] refugees, and less than half of them are left."

Under the dim candlelight, Liu Bei said to Lin Chao with a wry smile, with a look of worry on his face.

Although Lin Chao's strategy of mobilizing people's hearts is good, it is also a double-edged sword.The world is invincible if you use it well, but if you don't use it well, you will easily be buried in the pit with yourself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, everything is as expected by the court, and there is no major mistake." Lin Chao comforted, "Before going down the mountain, the court has already taken down all the leaders of the Yellow Scarves in Heishan and handed them over to Yide and Zixu. Take care of it, and put our own people in it. At critical times, as long as Xuande Gong gives a hint, they will definitely respond first and lead all the people to act together."

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded, he was always assured of Lin Chao's ability to handle affairs.

"After the matter is completed, how will the people of the world view this matter?"

Liu Bei asked again, worried whether this matter would have any bad effects.

Lin Chao replied without hesitation: "These big families are rich and ruthless. They stir up civil uprisings and bring disaster on themselves. There is more than enough to die. Xuande Gong loves the people like a son, and would rather accept the sword than abandon the people alone. This is a good story, which will be widely known. spread."

Hearing this, Liu Bei blushed slightly, a little ashamed.After all, he is not Lin Chao, and he feels ashamed of the reputation he has gained by showing off.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, if it wasn't for the lack of food, I wouldn't have used such hypocrisy and hypocrisy. After this incident, I only wanted to raise money and food, and didn't dare to use the name of benevolence and righteousness."

"Mr. Xuande's words, forgive me for disagreeing." Lin Chao said sternly, "Those who are benevolent and righteous have their hypocrisy but their reality. It seems that Duke Xuande's act of distributing the general grain to the people today, has anyone been able to care about it for a hundred generations?"

"Er...Zi Chu, it seems that this is not the same thing..."

Liu Bei instinctively felt that Lin Chao's words were inappropriate, and wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of any allusions or examples.

"This is the same thing!" Lin Chao set the tone for this matter with a serious face, "Has Mr. Xuande ever heard of the allusion of 'Zigong redeeming people'?"

Liu Bei nodded numbly, he didn't understand why Lin Chao gave such an example.

"With the benevolence and righteousness of the sages of Confucius, if you understand that those who do good deeds should get good results, otherwise, in the long run, no one will do good deeds! Mr. Xuande, in this world, why should you stick to your heart and just watch your deeds. Benevolence and righteousness are benevolence and righteousness. What is the difference between true and false?"

In order to fool Liu Bei, Lin Chao pulled Confucius out.

Lin Chao's words touched on the philosophical level, and Liu Bei couldn't help but frown and think hard.On the other hand, Guan Yu, who was next to him, suddenly stood up and saluted Lin Chao as if he had realized something.

"Zi Chu's words are like enlightenment, which makes a certain person suddenly enlightened." Guan Yu flushed with excitement, "When I read the Spring and Autumn Period recently, I couldn't get the point. I thought I was stupid and couldn't get the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. But today I heard Zi Chu first In other words, we know that someone is obsessed with appearances, so he misses the point!"

Lin Chao waved his hand, not taking it seriously, after all, it was just basic skills.

As a person of later generations, if the ideology cannot surpass the ancients more than 2000 years ago, it is better to find a piece of tofu and kill it.

For thousands of years, there have been countless interpretations of benevolence and righteousness, but they are all very different.

Some people think that acts of benevolence and righteousness must come from the heart, otherwise it is hypocrisy and hypocrisy.Just like doing good without asking for rewards is true kindness.

This point of view is correct, and it also discusses the true heart of benevolence and righteousness, but the requirements for human nature are too high.

Except for some sages and sages, most of the people in this world are ordinary people. It is obviously impossible to demand them by this standard.

In addition, a question has also been raised, that is, whether acts of destruction with a heart of benevolence and righteousness can still be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

That is to say, if you do bad things with good intentions, is it considered good intentions?

This also leads to another point of view, that is, in addition to benevolence and righteousness coming from the heart, it must have better results before it can conform to the name of benevolence and righteousness.

This view is harsher than the first, but it is also more clearly divided.

What is benevolence and righteousness?

Not only must there be kindness, but also good deeds, and good fruits.

The point of view is clear, the results are impeccable, and the practicality is close to none.

So Lin Chao more agrees with the third point of view, which is also the most orthodox Confucian point of view, the point of view expressed by Confucius himself.

That is to say no to the mind!

No matter what your original intention is, as long as your actions and results are benevolent and righteous, then you are a benevolent person, and you also have a benevolent heart!
And what Liu Bei did during the day is exactly in line with this view.

At this time, Liu Bei came back to his senses and probably understood what Lin Chao meant, and his eyes were no longer confused.

"Zi Chu, what should we do tomorrow?"

Lin Chao smiled, but his eyes were unprecedentedly indifferent: "It's easy to handle. We will send some refugees tomorrow morning and ask them to go borrow food with Xianhe. Lord Xuande must remember to go door-to-door to let these people see it with their own eyes. Get to know the faces of these people. When Xianhe returns empty-handed, it will be the time when public dissatisfaction will boil over."

"And for Duke Xuande, it is also a time when people's hearts are available."

Having said that, Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other, and couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Chao's methods.

This move can be called murder!
Those aristocratic families thought that they just didn't lend Liu Bei food and grass, but in the eyes of the common people, this just didn't leave them a way to survive.

A man with no way out is terrible, because he can do anything.

And what will the [-] people who have no way out of life do...

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt a little sympathetic to the aristocratic families in Zhending City.

"Zi Chu's plan is very clever, as it should be!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed.

For Guan Yu, who is proud of his superiors but pitying his inferiors, he sincerely hopes that these low-level people can have a way out.At the same time, he didn't have any good feelings for those high-ranking aristocratic families.

Although Liu Bei nodded, he was still a little worried and said: "If you only take food, it is natural. But with tens of thousands of people excited, how should we deal with the disaster?"

"Those who are rich and unkind, deserve to die!"

Lin Chao's light words set the tone for this matter.
