Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 454 Qin Shihuang VS Meng Jiangnv

"This kind of hypocrisy doesn't count." Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile.

"No!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with wide eyes and said, "If he can pretend to be benevolent and righteous for a lifetime, this is also benevolence and righteousness."

"Impossible." Chen Zhongyuan snorted and shook his head, "Pretending to be impossible for a lifetime, first of all, selfish desires are unbearable."

"Speaking of selfish desires, the emperor who was sacrificed by the three princes was a good boy when he was the prince!" Lin Nanzheng remembered, "At the beginning of ascending the throne, he was conscientious, diligent and caring for the people, but later changed, doing whatever he wanted, unscrupulous. "

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Shuisheng nodded heavily and said, "I can clearly feel this."

"What about the Legalists?" Cao Huaimin said, frowning at her.

"Legalism advocates the centralization of power to deal with these troubles." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said.

"But the Legalists failed! Isn't the Qin Dynasty the best example?" Chen Zhongyuan said immediately after hearing the words.

"So Confucianism is at the forefront! Foreign Confucianism and internal law." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes like black jade and said, "But no matter which one you use, it can't stop the crazy oppression of the people from the upper class!"

"Is this problem completely unsolvable?" Jiang Shuisheng said with some frustration.

"Read more, be sensible, and cultivate the ability to think independently. Don't follow what others say. The people will monitor whether the officials have corrupted the law and taken by force." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"This..." Han Qinhu and Lin Nanzheng looked at each other when they heard the words, no wonder the law has been circling around the officials.

It turned out to be waiting here!
"It's very difficult for officials to act for the people based on their conscience. After all, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will destroy them. Therefore, we can only be restrained by the law." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes like deep pools.

"To be honest, it's not easy." Han Qinhu said while looking at her, frowning.

"I know, this is not something that can be done overnight, take your time. There is plenty of time." Hong Lianshuo glanced back, looking at his well-behaved son, "Being an official does not make decisions for the people, so go home and farm as soon as possible."

"Ahem..." Lin Nanzheng coughed twice.

"Don't cough in Nanzheng, read more "Salt and Iron Theory" and don't pay too much attention to Confucian views. Think more about the opposing arguments, and look at Guan Zi's governance of the country and economy, and you will find out why you have this view." Hong Lianshuo Liuli He looked at them with dark eyes and said.

"But I think the records in the history books are more about scheming," Ye Yunyu said.

"With different standpoints, what you see will be different. History books have always been written by Qin Shihuang and Meng Jiangnv. It depends on where you stand to read history." Hong Lianshuo looked at Chen Zhongyuan and the others curiously and said, "What about you? Tinglin How do you feel about the ancients, sir?"

"I've heard all the way that a small person like me is amazed by those big people who serve the country and the people." Jiang Shuisheng looked at them with black and white eyes and said, "I have a wealthy family and profound knowledge, and what I see is the integrity of the scholar-bureaucrats." , Their deeds will make honest people believe that there are still people in this world who can maintain peace in this world, and there is such a bright world. It turns out that we are not alone. Let an ant-like little person like me be full of righteousness again and again. Whenever this time I think it’s good to be alive, to be able to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors, no matter how hard or tired we are!”

"It seems that my practice is not enough." Ye Yunyu said with emotion, "What I see is intrigue, and what Shui Sheng sees is the brilliance of human nature."

Jiang Shuisheng scratched his head in embarrassment after being praised, "It's not as good as you said. I hope that someone will save me more, but the reality lets me know that whenever I can only save myself, God will help those who help themselves!"

"I still have a deeper understanding than I do." Ye Yunyu clasped her fists and cupped her hands at him, "If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Jiang Shuisheng tilted his body when he saw this, avoiding her big gift.

"That's right, I want to look at this history as an ordinary person again." Ye Yunyu looked at them sincerely and said.

"Then you will see many problems." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and honest eyes and said, "If you look at the rise and fall of a dynasty completely, you will find that in a prosperous age, the government and the people are clear and bright, and the court is full of righteousness. It is full of people who don't believe in common people and believe in ghosts and gods, and those who talk about gods and gods, there are many treacherous and sycophants."

"That's because we can't get it with hardworking hands in reality, so we have to put our minds on ghosts and gods." Chen Zhongyuan snorted coldly, "Isn't it right now!"

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear and bright eyes and said, "Those supernatural things, such as prophecy in pictures, induction between heaven and man, are really a little scary. I feel that since it is written in the book, it is groundless, and it may not be silent. Also Do you think there is something real in it? Only after reading the book do I know that most people of insight are fighting against these things. The prosperity of each dynasty is created bit by bit by reason and my own hands .”

Looking at them with cold eyes, he continued, "This chaotic world is full of gods and ghosts, and with the addition of Wushisan, ho! It's even more ecstasy, and the spirit is depraved. The big people at the top want to live forever and become immortals! They also If you don’t benefit the common people, if you don’t serve the people wholeheartedly, it’s no wonder you don’t fall into hell!” The conversation changed, “What about the ordinary people! This life is hopeless, and they only want to have a good pregnancy in the next life. Might have a good time!"

"You hate ghosts and ghosts." Han Qinhu said with a smile.

"Gods are not made of clay, they are made of gold." Hong Lianshuo said bluntly, taking a deep breath, "If it is said that Qin's unification of the world showed the advantages of the Legalists, then its demise reflects the legalism. The disadvantages of the family. If the recuperation in the early Han Dynasty benefited from Taoism, then people today are talking about the country, so that now we are almost gone. We have to blame Taoism. When Sima Gong wrote "Historical Records", he praised and criticized all schools of thought, but he did not have negative comments on Taoism."

"That's right! Is it strange?" Cao Huaimin asked.

"I don't think I'll live forever and become a fairy!" Lin Nanzheng said half-jokingly.

"Go to him, don't ask me." Han Qinhu waved his hand lightly.

"Maybe Taoism is the most perfect way to govern the country. Isn't Taoism governing the country in the early Han Dynasty!" Cui Ming said casually.

"It's so perfect, why did the Han Dynasty perish?" Wen Yanni said casually.

"Yes!" Cui Ming scratched his head and looked at Hong Lianshuo.

"This concept of governing the country is not one or two people have the final say, but it needs to be proved by practice. Practice has proved that if Confucianism is only respected, it may eventually lead to the country's subjugation. However, if you blindly follow Legalism or Taoism, the Han people will be expelled from this land. It has been wiped off, and there are not even any traces of history! If it weren't for these barbarian and Xianbei admiring Confucian civilization to take the initiative to Sinicize, God knows if we would have the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely trip!" Hong Lianshuo snorted and laughed.
