After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 431 The Conception of the Legalists

"Okay, stop scolding, they are all ancients, and they won't hear you scolding them." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Isn't it better now, you can abandon techniques and powers, and concentrate on studying the law. "

"Your majesty is holy!" Han Li was so excited that he was about to kneel down and bow down to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stopped: "Our status in Jixia Academy is a sage, not an emperor."

"If you give us the courtesy of a monarch and minister here, you will break the rules of Jixia Academy."

"I know I'm wrong." Han Li quickly stood up and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, without the two scourges of skill and power, our Legalists will be able to manage Guangdong and Guangxi well in the future."

"Let Guangdong and Guangxi truly do it, not to pick up lost items on the road, and not to close the door at night."

"Become the safest province."

"It seems that you Legalists are also very confident in yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Our Legalists were unique in the world in the Spring and Autumn Period." Han Li, "Guan Zhong, the pioneer of the Qi Legalists, was the 'Teacher of Saints', 'No. 1 Prime Minister of China', and 'Guardian of Civilization'"

"If the Qi Fa family can always be reused by the emperor, I am afraid there will be no Qin, Han, Song and Yuan."

"The law of the Qi Legalists is indeed fair, but your point of view is still a bit one-sided." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Just a perfect law is not enough to make the Qi State last forever. A perfect law is only a part of it."

"The magic weapon for the dynasties to last forever is to benefit the common people."

"The winner is the way."

"The monarchs and nobles in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods abandoned the Qi legalists who were unfavorable to them, and let those Qin and Jin legalists who knew how to 'assess the situation' and adapt to the trend help them, for the sake of profit."

"However, the Qi Legalists can't bring real benefits to the people of the Qi country, allowing the people to form a vast ocean of power to compete with the nobles. This is also the most fundamental reason for the decline of your Legalists."

"The sage's words hit the nail on the head!" Han Li was like enlightened when he heard the words.Dao: "So after our Legalists went to the provinces, we must not only pay attention to 'law', but also pay attention to benefiting the people."

"If you can comprehend this level, the Legalists will be able to govern Guangdong and Guangxi well in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It's just that you said just now that you don't pick up lost things on the road?"

"With a perfect law, it is understandable for the province to keep its accounts open at night."

"We don't understand if we don't pick up lost things on the road. Isn't this a matter of morality?"

"Sage." Han Li said, "Legalists don't believe in any morality, they only believe in doing things according to the law."

"If someone picks up other people's lost property on the road, the picker must hand it over to the government. But the owner must give the picker a reward of [-]% of the value of the property, or both parties are satisfied. I believe that with this law, it will be possible to not pick up the lost property on the road." .”

"The Legalists don't believe in picking up money, they only believe in laws."

"Yeah, um." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after listening, "This law is not bad. There was no such thing in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" before. Is there any more?"

"What's more, murderers die regardless of their age," Han Li said.

"This one is also very good, and it is a rule that has existed since ancient times." Zhu Yuanzhang deeply agreed with this. He is a loyal supporter of harsh laws. "It seems that the laws formulated by your Legalists seem to be stricter."

"The law is like the purest righteousness in the world - thunder, it must be strict." Han Li said, "There is no human kindness to beat those lawless people to death."

"That's why Guanzi said that the sky doesn't change, but the earth doesn't change!"

"For lawbreakers, the strict law can make them fearful. For those who abide by the law, the strict law is their best guardian. It is their confidence and their reliance."

"People want not to be affected by the strict law, you just don't break it."

"If you want to offend, you should be punished. No wonder others."

"Those who oppose the strict law have either violated it in the past, or they want to violate it in the future. Although no one is sage and sage, you can't have faults, but your faults cannot violate others. If you violate them, you will have to pay the price."

"Good! Good! Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said repeatedly, "We are looking forward to your legalist-governed provinces, and in the future you will really be able to 'do not pick up lost items on the road, and do not close the house at night', because those who dare to enter the door to steal, before breaking the law, will do it again and again." weigh the consequences."

"Legalism will live up to the high expectations of the sages." Han Li cupped his hands and said, and sat back on the futon after speaking.

"After talking about Mohism and Legalism, let's talk about other schools..." Zhu Yuanzhang said,
According to what Qin Yu taught him, he pointed out the deficiencies of the various schools of thought one by one, and then said, "The rest of the doctors, farmers, military strategists...you don't have perfect theories in governing the country."

"But you can develop your expertise into a characteristic industry for your province management."

"For example, doctors develop the place you manage into a big province of doctors."

"The farm has developed into a large agricultural province..."

"The novelist has developed into a base for writing novels, an animation base, a cultural province..."

"Each province has its own characteristics and strengths. It is invincible in economic development and makes the people rich. Give full play to the wisdom of the people in your province."

"Follow the words of the sages!"

After hearing the news, everyone said one after another.

"In the end, all schools of thought want to establish prestige in various provinces, and replace the former officials in the future. Your people will be the chief ministers. Another way is to run your own newspaper..." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, the crowd understood what a newspaper is,
and the role of newspapers.

They were all overjoyed. With this move, they would soon be able to establish their own prestige and win the trust of the people.

It is more conducive to their future management of the province.

"The sage's move is really amazing!" The crowd said one after another.

"And newspapers are something that has never appeared in previous dynasties."

……

After the meeting was over, some people thought carefully and came back to their senses:

These methods were probably taught to the emperor by the dean.

Although the emperor is more eager to learn, and later learned very well, he still has not reached the point where he can hold such a high-level meeting today.

Because it is impossible for him to be so proficient in the theory of a hundred schools of thought, and he also pointed out the fatal weakness of a hundred schools of thought.

Such strength can only be possessed by the headmaster.

Only the head of the think tank, the dean, has it.

There is also the newspaper, something that has never appeared in the past dynasties, and only the existence of the dean who sees the head and sees the end can understand it.I don't know where he learned it from or just his stroke of genius.

"Although the dean has never appeared in Jixia Academy, he has been behind our backs, silently helping our families!" Fu Buqian, a giant of the Mo family, said with emotion.

"I don't know whether Mr. Dean is old or young, tall or short, thin or fat." Fu Xiao, a girl from the Mo family, looked at the sky far away, full of curiosity about the mysterious existence of Dean.
