Chapter 430

"Let's talk about the Mohists first..." Zhu Yuanzhang talked eloquently, copying all Qin Yu's words.

When they first heard that it was necessary to get rid of mutual love and mutual benefit, the disciples of the Mohist school were still very resistant.However, after Zhu Yuanzhang gave them an analysis for a while, the Mo family calmed down and finally realized that their own mutual love and mutual benefit is indeed unrealistic.

Then humbly accepted the suggestion.

"You Mohists can encourage the people in Zhejiang Province to love each other and treat others as brothers and sisters, but you must never force it. This is the key." Zhu Yuanzhang finally said.

"That's right, we can vigorously publicize and publicize widely!" Mohist tycoon Fu Buqian said, "Try to make it so that the people of Zhejiang Province will treat each other as brothers and sisters when they go out."

"Everyone helps each other, share the blessings, and share the difficulties."

"People in Zhejiang Province are more united than people in any other province."

"Not only are our own people united, but we must also have a heart of fraternity for other compatriots. Help the poor, help the weak, donate money, and have justice in your heart. Spread the fraternity of the Mohists to the land of Kyushu."

"Let the entire Ming Dynasty have good folk customs and morals."

"The Mohists want other schools to see the difference in the people of Zhejiang Province after the Mohist governance."

"We are not only more knowledgeable and richer than others, but also more caring!"

"Your idea is very good. I hope you Mohists can really achieve this grand goal in the end." Zhu Yuanzhang heard that everyone praised him, "The Chinese people have experienced thousands of years of suffering. To be honest, the folk customs are not satisfactory."

"In the past, people lost a lot of truth, goodness and beauty in order to survive."

"It's no wonder they did it out of necessity. The folk customs are unsatisfactory, which is caused by the harsh living environment for thousands of years, but they are lost after all."

"Many overseas people say that we have bad roots and like to punish our own people."

"One is a dragon, three is a worm."

"There are thieves and thieves everywhere, and the common people are greedy for petty gains."

"These are urgently needed to be changed."

"So the important task of changing the national customs is handed over to the Mohists. You want to fill the land of Kyushu with the love of the Mohists. As long as you are descendants of Yan and Huang, as long as you have the blood of Yan and Huang, you are all brothers and sisters."

"Although the best way to improve the people's customs is to make them live a prosperous life, the truth, kindness and beauty will naturally come into being. But reasonable guidance and the power of role models are also essential."

"Guidance and role models can speed up the process of establishing good folk customs."

"If the Mohists can really do it, then the people of Zhejiang Province in the future will be a role model for the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Our Mohist family will definitely live up to the high expectations of the sage!" The Mohist tycoon Fu couldn't help but said excitedly after being so valued by the emperor and entrusted with such an important task of changing the people's customs.

"This is the real Mohist!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "This is the Jixia Academy, the sacrificial wine in the Huaxia think tank, and the lofty ideals it should have."

"Change the folk customs!"

……

"After talking about Mohism, let's talk about Faism." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The inadequacy of Legalism lies in its technique and power, which are designed to serve the scholar-bureaucrat class rather than the common people."

"This, you must change."

"Only focus on one word 'Fa'."

"My lord, the reason why the Legalists began to emphasize 'skill' and 'power' is actually forced by the situation." Han Li, the leader of the Legalists heard the words, stood up from the futon and replied, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended, In fact, the Legalists were dominant at the beginning. Because the Legalists' "no distinction between relatives and estrangements, no distinction between high and low, one must be determined by the law" is the most able to govern the country well."

"However, the point of view that there is no distinction between high and low, and that one is determined by the law, makes those monarchs and nobles very dissatisfied."

"They want power beyond the law, and the law does not impose on the body. So they began to admire the Confucian 'benevolence', 'virtue' and 'propriety', distinguishing themselves from the people of Li, and establishing order by dividing the high and the low..."

"Legalism, as an academic school, certainly cannot compete with Confucianism, which has the support of monarchs and nobles."

"In order to survive, the Legalists had to add 'technique' and 'power' behind the pure 'law' to cater to the monarchs and nobles at that time. If they didn't cater to them, the Legalists would have perished long ago."

"To be honest, the five techniques of controlling the people in the "Shang Junshu" were completely designed to cater to Qin Xiaogong at that time, which had violated the purpose of the Legalist's "pure law". Later, the techniques of controlling the people were absorbed by Confucianism gone."

"As the descendant of the Qi Fa School, I, the leader of the Legal School, actually look down on the Qin and Jin Legal Schools."

"Yes, yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard the words, "Actually, we also support Qi Fa's family."

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Legalism was divided into two schools because of the impact of Confucianism.

One is Qi Fajia.

One is the Qin and Jin legalists.

The representative of the Qi family is Guan Zhong.

Representatives of the legalists in the Qin and Jin Dynasties were Shang Yang, Li Kui, Shen Dao and others.

The thinking of Qi Legalists is that "the sky does not change its permanence, but the earth does not change its course." '

Legalists in Qin and Jin Dynasties Pay Attention to 'Fa', 'Skill' and 'Position'

To put it simply, Qi Legalists are legalists who maintain the original heart of "law".They uphold the sanctity and authority of the law.It is believed that the law is like the common sense that the sky does not change, and the law that the earth does not change.

The Qin and Jin legalists followed the general trend and began to cater to the monarchs and nobles.Let the law serve the sovereign and the nobility.

They feel that the law is only used against the common people.

"Book of Shang Jun" is the product of this environment.

Guan Zhong of the Legalist School of Qi used "pure law" to govern Qi State in an orderly manner, and assisted Duke Huan of Qi to become one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, Guan Zhong died of illness, Duke Huan of Qi was starved to death, and later kings no longer reused the Qi Fa family, and the Qi Fa family disappeared.

The Qin and Jin legalists, who catered to the monarchs and nobles, survived.

Han Li, the leader of the contemporary Legalists, is a loyal supporter of the Qi Legalists. He looks down on the Qin and Jin Legalists, thinking that the Qin and Jin Legalists catered to the monarchs and nobles, which is a degeneration that has lost the principle of law.

"Master Sage asked the Legalists to abandon 'skill' and 'power', and only use 'law', which is exactly what he wanted!" Han Li said.

"Only the Qi Fa School is the real Legal School."

"Shang Yang, Li Kui, and the later Legalists are all degenerates and sinners of the Legalists through the ages."

"They abandoned the original intention of law as the eternal and unchanging rules of heaven and earth, and made law a tool for the monarchs and nobles to oppress the people... Their actions will definitely be reviled by people with lofty ideals in future generations."

"They have ruined the reputation of the Legalists, which is a disaster for the country and the people!"

"How powerful was the Qi State back then? If Duke Huan and Guan Zhong hadn't passed away, and the kings of later generations would no longer use Qi Fajia, how could Qin State have unified the six kingdoms?"

"Those Qin and Jin legalists are as hateful as Confucianism."

The more Han Li spoke, the more excited he became, as if he wanted to scold the Qin and Jin legalists.
