Arcane Linguist

Chapter 186 Thinker, Politician, and Educator Roland (ask for a monthly ticket)
"Please give an example to explain what is good, and publish a post-reading review of no less than 800 words."

Roland laughed and made a little joke.

No, I just praised you casually, so shameless?
Holmes shook his head and sighed with a smile, but he still said seriously: "In my opinion, the Analects of Confucius is full of benevolence and propriety, but the essence lies in virtue and the rule of virtue.

Pursuing benevolence and righteousness is nothing but a means of implementing the rule of virtue! "

This is actually perused, not "quick read" with a spell.

The core of Confucius thought is benevolence, which advocates the realization of social and national harmony and the perfection of personal cultivation.

Ritual is one of the ways to realize benevolence, and it is an ideal norm considered by Confucianism.

But this is just one of the views in the academic world. If you want to truly master the essence, please follow it.

Where did Ben come from?

"Tao Te Ching"!
What Roland saw was actually Germany.

"Dezhi...

A virtuous person is naturally benevolent and reasonable.

But the natural principles of heaven and earth are sometimes different from the principles of the human world. "

He sighed.

Holmes deeply felt the same way: "The essence is still a question of the right of interpretation.

This kind of thing depends on who has the right to interpret morality. "

Roland said: "That's true, being controlled by a virtuous and capable person is good, close to the way of heaven.

To be controlled by immoral and incompetent people is bad and against the way of heaven.

So sometimes, some people feel that the morality and conscience of the human world are pedantic and backward, useless, and do not conform to the natural law of the jungle.

Many mages will have such doubts. It does not match the fact that the truth exists on the staff. Why is it still being praised by the sages and sages of the past and present as the most reasonable?

Why are there so many monsters dancing in this world?All kinds of weird ideas, political correctness?

The fundamental reason is that, in the long run, things like morality and conscience are in line with objective laws, but in a few cases, they will be manipulated by the wrong people and lead them in the wrong direction.

The root of everything points to people, and to the final power of interpretation jointly controlled by secular forces such as money, violence, and public opinion. "

In fact, Confucius' thoughts were rational, natural, and in line with objective laws at the beginning.

But Confucius was just a poor teacher. What did he know about "The Analects"?

When he was alive, "The Analects of Confucius" had not yet appeared.

In this way, Confucius was held high and worshiped as a clay sage.

"The Analects of Confucius" originated from him and his disciples, but the right to interpret it belongs to the Confucian disciples of all dynasties.

Especially after the Song Dynasty, the court was completely monopolized, and the concept of "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

The tyrants and powerful families have long since passed away, and the martial arts nobles were defeated.

Even in the early Ming and early Qing Dynasties there was a reversal, and the Confucian group was no longer an opponent, and the group had completely degenerated.

The six arts of a gentleman, those who allow Wen and Wu are Confucian disciples, those who do not work hard, and do not distinguish the five grains are also Confucian disciples.

Confucian disciples are those who are loyal and honest, and those who are strong and firm are Confucian disciples, and those who are selfish and selfish are also Confucian disciples.

Those who resisted the aliens and swore to serve the country to the death were Confucian disciples, and those who opened the door and knelt down and pledged allegiance to the new dynasty were also Confucian disciples.

What's the use of a book of scriptures? It's up to people!

Roland now plays the role of Confucius, who is alive and has the right to interpret.

He is not dead yet!

This is where he has an advantage over Confucius.

There were no doubts or discussions about the right of interpretation between him and Holmes, but they directly pursued the root cause.

"Spells and staffs solve the problem of violence, and those who master spells have the greatest power.

However, the rule of virtue, benevolence and justice, and reason solve the relationship between people, how to attract more people who have power, how to avoid internal friction and work together, these are not the only short-term effects of "charming human beings". fixed.

The violence of one person cannot compare with the violence of two people, the violence of two people cannot compare with the violence of three people, and so on, even one legendary mage cannot compare with two legendary mages...

As long as there is no omniscient, omnipotent and immortal god in this world, and as long as human beings are social animals who cannot survive and develop without society, this law will always be valid! "

"Actually, this is what I'm worried about. Although our Art Rhine is powerful, there are also other high-magic civilizations in this universe, and there have also been examples of high-magic civilizations being destroyed.

When it comes to specific battlefields, it is even more impossible to put all your strength into it. Therefore, there are many cases of disastrous defeats by demons, or even repelled by low-magic civilizations!

What should we do if "The Analects" taught the people of Leiner morality, benevolence and righteousness, united people's hearts and developed them? "

"Hahahaha, it's very simple, add some dross to it, make it suitable for the ruler to rule, become pedantic, ignorant, isn't it enough?"

In the shock of Antonia, Orvisto and Holmes, Roland narrated the thoughts of Confucian classics such as the heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher, the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles.

Dross can be used as waste to poison.

Eating a portion of poison by itself is of course a bad thing.

But if it is eaten by the enemy, it is a good thing.

Adding it to the transformation prescription given to the Kingdom of Lena, it can lock their minds and seal their development.

Even a modern country that has already achieved industrialization cannot avoid the poison of feudal remnants, let alone a small low-magic civilization like the Kingdom of Lena?

"To use a more specific analogy, take Xiaolian.

Loyal and filial people are credible, available, and normal social morality tends to respect these virtues, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But what is loyalty, filial piety, and who is loyal, trustworthy, filial and fraternal? This is not something that can be understood in the exam, or is it the person who has the right to speak?

Ordinary people's loyalty and filial piety are just fulfilling the basic obligations of being a human being, which is not worth mentioning. However, some people can be raised to write special books and be regarded as models.

This is a great power, beyond the power of elections and examinations.

If you oppose it, you are opposing loyalty and filial piety, and opposing the truth!
Assume that a genius from the Reiner Kingdom has a bad family background, but has outstanding talent and is expected to become a brilliant mage.

We want to contain him, use loyalty and filial piety, we want to achieve him, use loyalty and filial piety, we want to destroy him, also use loyalty and filial piety.

One advantage of this thing is that the discretion is extremely high, and the strike is precise, so that it will not arouse resistance like direct violence. "

Roland went on to tell the three big bosses how he had to die, his parents died, and he kept his filial piety for three years.

The so-called loyalty and filial piety, can you still play like this?

And when I learned about the practices of oppressing women, such as chastity archway and bound feet, I was even more shocked.

What a ruthless approach, cutting society vertically, and dismembering Reiner!

How could it be possible to do this in an industrial society and a modern family?
Will greatly reduce production efficiency!

"This is tantamount to letting the old men of Reiner oppress the young men of Reiner, and the men of Reiner oppress the women of Reiner, using a highly balanced method to mobilize internal friction and restrain most of the power!"

Hearing this, even the legendary mage Antonia couldn’t help but be shocked. He has lived for more than 80 years, and it’s not like he doesn’t have similar insights. come out.

For a moment, he was shocked by Roland!

"Then what if times change, young people rebel, women rebel, and finally develop to the moment when they break free?"

Holmes asked a question.

"If it can't be suppressed, we should promote the new trend of liberalism. Young people are awakened, women are awakened, and we, Art Rhine, will always support the party of justice!"

Roland said without any pressure.

"..."

"..."

"..."

A legendary mage and two archmages couldn't help but look at each other.

They bowed their heads to discuss, and quickly came to a conclusion: "This set is feasible, but for the specific situation of the Kingdom of Leinar, it needs to be implemented in multiple regions.

For example, in the dungeons of the drow elves, the mistress will always rule, which is also in line with their customs and history.

And the Black Dragon Dynasty, the Chisha Legion, can completely reverse it and implement elder politics and patriarchy.

As for East Lainer, it can follow the example of Arterine and establish an enlightened and open mage system country, giving hope for development.

We originally planned to buy their royal family and nobles and endow them with demon-level powers. Now it seems that we can make slight adjustments on this basis, and the specific educational content will also be further adjusted! "

Antonia added: "I have to say, Roland, you boy... you are really a peerless genius!"

……

In the outside world, discussions on the quotations from The Analects of Confucius and its connotations are still going on.

There is no lack of smart people among mages, and many people have also seen the practicality of that set.

What's more, the theory of emphasizing literature and restraining martial arts was also deduced.

Rejuvenating the country through culture and education is just like loyalty and filial piety. It is natural and correct, but you can misrepresent this scripture if you twist your mouth casually.

Due to the different national conditions, the prescribed medicine may become poison if the dosage is slightly wrong.

But the Kingdom of Lena has no choice, because they are a backward country, they can only drink medicine obediently.

Things like ideology and culture often flow from strong civilizations to weak ones.

Weak civilizations will doubt everything, and even their own language and writing can be regarded as the root of backwardness.

Under the influence of Mu Qiang's psychology, they will naturally accept everything without doubt. Among their elites, there are absolutely no shortage of reverse nationalists.

Everyone unanimously agreed that Roland also had attainments far beyond those of his peers in the field of ideology and politics.

This is beyond doubt.

"So Roland is still a thinker, politician, and educator?"

"It's really not easy. In my early twenties, I have such attainments!"

"When I was in my early twenties, I didn't even understand the ancient Elvish language!"

"To tell you the truth, there is no shortage of geniuses of all kinds in our Art Rhine, but we can also learn in the political field without a teacher. It is really unique to be so mature at such a young age!"

"It really deserves to be nominated for the Star of Arcane Art, I am really convinced!"

Even Lunifus, who was far away in Iser, couldn't help but send him an email, praising him a lot.

"Honey, you are really great, I didn't expect you to have such insight in the field of ideology and politics!

When I was in Snow Castle before, I heard you mention virtue, benevolence, and etiquette, but I didn’t elaborate on it. I didn’t expect it to contain such profound connotations, and you discovered it, forming a complete and self-consistent set of principles. Theoretical system! "

Before "The Analects of Confucius" came out, Roland had already made plans.

He is a brilliant copyist, so naturally he will not copy without any basis, but will continue to make arrangements along with the development of "The Romance of Siris", step by step.

As a result, the place where the mark was left also brought an incomparable shock to Lunifus.

"It doesn't have any profound connotations, it's just so-so..."

Roland said with a guilty conscience.

"You are so humble!" Lunifuss changed her way of admiration.

"In order to show my support for you, I decided to engrave the word 'De' in Celiswen on my staff..."

Roland was very surprised, what's wrong with this?
After asking, I realized that it was in the form of a "motto".

This is a traditional culture.

……

On the second-floor balcony of the Autodox school mansion, Oxea shared a piece of news he had just received with Gallo.

That was the notice that the two mage towers of the Reiner Kingdom and Reiner Nur were about to be completed, and the mage group going there to take over was about to leave.

"We have already prepared these things, so there is no need to mention them, but what do you think of "The Analects of Confucius?" Gallo let out a long breath and asked him a question.

In his hand, there are still blooming brocade flowers, but they look a little sleepy.

The recent relocation is imminent, and even Gallo, who usually spends watering the flowers as a leisure, doesn't care much about them, and is more prepared for the future to go to the world of Reiner.

""The Analects of Confucius"? There are indeed many people discussing it recently, and I have read it a few times in admiration. It is really strange!" Oxea said.

"Just now I saw a mage engrave the word 'virtue' on his staff, and an adventurer engrave 'benevolence' and 'righteousness' on the sword he wears...

There are even mercenaries who keep the habit of tattooing, tattooing the words of Siris on their bodies, thinking it's cool! "(Note: Do not imitate)

"We must also have our own governance program and ideological theory! Although we are not the kings of the Kingdom of Lena, we are the rulers behind the scenes, the de facto masters.

And all of this needs to be evaluated, calculated, and compared internally!
If you let the Siris School continue to develop like this, they will have experience in governing the country! "

Gallo caressed the petals with his hands, feeling a little dignified, and said worriedly.

What he didn't tell Oxea was that he recently heard the news that even His Excellency Antonia and Archmage Holmes spoke highly of Roland.

Needless to say the former, as a legendary mage, he can decide many things.

Archmage Holmes is the current ruler of the Reiner Kingdom and one of the future Reiner's Big Three.

Appreciation of this private nature will lead to many policies and resources being tilted in favor of the Seles school.

If the Autododox school can still occupy the mainstream advantage in Alterain, in the Kingdom of Lena, it will really change shape in offense and defense, and may even fall into a disadvantage!
