Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 246 Chapter 240 Five Desire turns into greed, that is, when you become a slave

It goes without saying that businessmen's desire for status is far beyond that of ordinary people. Ordinary people just want food and clothing, but businessmen want money, power, and beauty.

In addition, businessmen also use trade to exploit ordinary people.

Businessmen always weigh the pros and cons. As long as the benefits are big enough, what's the harm in taking risks?
Let these businessmen with no bottom line gain status, and the country will not be completely in chaos.

This is one of the reasons why he hates businessmen and suppresses them.

Think about this.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted disdainfully:
"That's exactly what Mr. said."

"Human desires are endless."

"And the desire of businessmen is higher than the sky, even worse than that of powerful officials."

"Let it gain power and the consequences will be endless."

"We think there should be some suppression, otherwise they will do whatever they want."

Facing Lao Zhu's indignation and injustice, Lin Che smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Human desires are endless and are a gradual climbing process. However, limiting desires is against human nature..."

"Just like, today you ate steamed buns, tomorrow you want to eat steamed buns, today you married a mother-in-law, and tomorrow you want to take a concubine."

"Actually, these desires are normal. After all, people are not gods. Only those who have desires are called humans."

"This is especially true for businessmen, and it's no surprise."

As she spoke, Lin Che suddenly changed the topic and said with great interest:
"So, His Majesty believes that in this power game of status, you use violent means to suppress the desires of officials."

"Is it reasonable?"

"It's going to rain. My mother is going to get married. Can you control it?"

"As for the final result, it's a mess."

"Speaking of which, I don't understand. Why do you always contend with human nature?"

"Men are born to be lustful, and women are born to love beauty. Are these similar basic desires an invitation to mess with you?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't change this damn concept, you are narrow-minded and intolerant of others. You will never be able to get rid of this horrid mockery for the rest of your life."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was silence.

Not only were the Zhu family couple here speechless, but even the Zhu family brothers on the other side were a little unsteady.

It's really fun to see the old man eat up, but you have to keep a good balance...

Don't really scold the old man for being anxious, otherwise you will lose more than you gain.

At that time, everyone will suffer together and no one can escape.

The two brothers, Zhu Biao and Zhu Feng, exchanged looks with each other knowingly, and then hurriedly stepped forward to propose a toast to lighten the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang not only showed no signs of getting angry, but was extremely calm and calm, waving his hand to signal the two little bastards to get out.

Don't come here to honor yourself, go over and honor your husband.

The two brothers were a little confused about the situation, but they still did not dare to question it and immediately bowed to Lin Che.

Full of respect and sincere compliments.

see.

Lin Che couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, but she couldn't help the two brothers. She took a sip lightly and continued:

"Yu the Great controlled the water, sparing it but not blocking it."

“Instead of limiting your desires, use them to your advantage.”

“Humanity is complex and multifaceted…and so are desires.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, acting extremely calm at the moment. He found the trick of listening to the lecture and stopped making stupid arguments.

But I saw him gently put down the cup in his hand and said firmly:

"Sir, teach us."

Lin Che shrugged helplessly and smiled:
"Actually, it's very simple. It's a very stupid thing to measure desire by right or wrong."

"The word desire is neither a compliment nor a derogatory meaning. It can both stimulate people's potential and make people become slaves of desire."

“When desire turns into greed, that is when one becomes a slave.”

"Didn't you control your desires back then and didn't let your desires turn into greed and devour yourself?"

Lin Che shook his head slightly and said casually: "When peasant rebels from all over the country proclaimed themselves kings one after another and separated themselves from each other, why did you accept the great scholar Zhu Sheng's suggestion of 'building walls high, hoarding grain, and proclaiming king slowly'?"

"They kept quiet and focused on developing internal strength and strength, and allowed the other rebels to fight each other like cocks-eyes."

"Not only did he restrain his desire to become king, but when they all had to fight to the death, he also continued to develop his strength and tried his best to win over a group of knowledgeable and famous Confucian scholars, such as Fan Chang of Chuzhou, Li Xi of Taiping, Zhu Sheng of Huizhou, and It attracted Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Ye Chen, etc., all of whom had first-rate insights at that time."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was smiling, Lin Che almost glanced at the back of her head:
"In short, desire is the invisible poison that kills people, and desire is the source of driving force."

"How can a person without desires be different from a walking corpse?"

“It’s not about suppressing desires, it’s about controlling desires.”

"A person who cannot control his desires is doomed to achieve great things, let alone be a threat."

"Just imagine, if you were like Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, you used all means for your personal desires. One of them caused Chen Han to fall apart and make people panic, while the other stayed in a corner, drunk and dreaming."

"Those famous teachers, even if you carry eight sedans, they won't come, let alone the Ming Dynasty today."

Lin Che stretched out and leaned on the chair:

"You, please don't be too petty."

"The core of the second part couldn't be simpler and clearer, just two words: control!"

"Hundreds of officials are vying for status, and status is bestowed upon you. Why can't you turn what they pursue into bait for your fishing?"

Before Lao Zhu could applaud him, Lin Che said with all her might:

"You control the desires of the officials, and the officials obey you. At this time, it doesn't matter if they want a higher status."

"It can even create a healthy competitive relationship and rejuvenate the lifeless court..."

"Isn't it fragrant?"

"I'm just wondering...what do you think as the emperor?"

"I don't ask you to take further steps forward, but you can't go back further!"

Lin Che drank all the wine in the glass, disgusted to death:

"It's better to let the crown prince take the throne. Come down and be your King of Wu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

This statement came out.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh a little, and they were all covering their mouths to suppress laughter at this moment.

But he saw Lao Zhu angrily taking a sip of wine and saying with disdain:

"Even if the boss comes up, we will still enjoy the blessings of being the emperor!"

"Is King Wu honest?"

"I will treat my son as a prince..."

"How can there be such a thing?"

"no!"

"We don't agree."

The voice did not fall.

Zhu Biao hurriedly raised his hands and said helplessly:

"father!"

"Master Lin was just joking!"

"Don't take it seriously!"

"How virtuous and capable is my son!"

"What's more, how can the Ming Dynasty survive without you?"

"Then there's no need to mess up."

The prince was so panicked that he was really afraid that his old father would slap his head and push him to that position.

Because of Lin Che's words before, he now began to supervise the country's governance.

If I go any further, I really can’t bear it!
