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

Chapter 448: Legalism is the power strategy of the ruling class

Hear this.

Zhu Ming shivered slightly, feeling too guilty to raise his head and look at Lin Che, let alone look sideways at the elder brother beside him.

Pretend to be calm and keep your mouth shut.

"After Xunzi, his disciple Han Fei integrated Legalism and Taoism, and on this basis he put forward the concept of human nature."

Lin Che tapped the table with her fingers and said methodically: "It can also be understood as the theory of human nature and profit, which means that human nature itself does not matter good or evil, and even this world does not matter good or evil. The pursuit of profit is the essence of human nature."

"Here, let's give an example."

"In ancient times, the reason why people had high moral standards was because there were many resources and a small population."

"Even if men don't farm and women don't weave, they can just pick a few fruits to support themselves. There is no need to fight for interests."

As she said that, Lin Che suddenly changed the subject.

"But it's different now. There are few resources and a large population. What's more, the resources are extremely unevenly distributed."

"People work very hard, but their income is very small, so they can only fight for profit."

"Of course, this kind of fight itself has no distinction between good and evil. It's just because of the profit-seeking trait in human nature."

Hear this.

The prince couldn't help but hold his breath and fully agreed with Lin Che's point of view.

Go up to heaven and go down to the people.

As long as a bowl of water is held unevenly, it will cause many disasters.

This has been the case since ancient times.

It is precisely because interests drive people's behavior that Lin Che and the CIA have always emphasized equality in the world.

Think of this.

Zhu Biao sighed secretly and held back his words.

"For a similar example of thinking through, Han Feizi also mentioned such a story recorded in "Han Feizi. Nei Chu Shuo Xia Liu Wei"."

Lin Che smiled:

"He said that a husband went out to work and his wife prayed at home, hoping that her husband could earn a few more pennies every day."

"When he heard about this, the wife's husband was puzzled and said that since you have prayed, why don't you pray to earn more?"

"But my wife said that a few more pennies would be enough. If you make too much, you might have to take a concubine."

The words have not yet fallen.

The whole room burst into laughter.

Zhu Di covered his stomach with one hand and kept laughing.

"It's so ridiculous. This is so calculating."

"What kind of life has it been like? The husband and wife are still plotting against each other."

"It's really good."

Lin Che spread her hands and said, "Yes, that's it."

"What I'm talking about here is the calculation between husband and wife. Everything is driven by interests."

"As mentioned earlier, you can live a good life, but you cannot live a good life."

Lin Che reached out to take the tea from Zhu Jingjing and took a sip.

"Also, there's a man working outside."

"His wife was at home stealing."

This statement came out.

The laughter suddenly stopped.

I saw that the Zhu brothers could not take their eyes away, waiting to eat the melon with great interest.

"However, I didn't expect that the man would suddenly come home."

"Blocking the adulterer in his own home."

Seeing the serious looks on their faces, Lin Che couldn't help but laugh: "My wife was so panicked at the time, what should I do?"

"The servant at home came up with an idea, saying that it doesn't matter if you just let the adulterer out, and let your husband see it, as long as he doesn't get caught." "In the end, the adulterer really ran away in a big way."

Zhu family brothers: "???"

"The man was very angry after seeing her, so when he got home, he asked his wife, what happened to the man who spoiled his butt?"

"On the other hand, my wife looked blank and said there was no man in the house. I had never seen him before."

Looking at the three stunned brothers, Lin Che said with great interest: "The husband asked the servant at home again, and the servant also said that he had not seen it. The husband was confused. Seeing that the husband was confused, the wife showed great concern. You said you won’t be possessed by evil spirits, right?”

"I heard that pouring animal feces on your head can get rid of evil spirits on your body. How about you pour it on me?"

"Well, that's it. The husband was poured feces on his head, but he still thinks his wife is very considerate."

The words fell silent.

Not only did Zhu Di look like he had eaten a fly, but even the prince Zhu Biao raised his hand to his forehead and was speechless. He just felt inexplicable and unreasonable.

This is too outrageous!
Could it be that there are really such stupid people in the world?

What is this called!
Just when the brothers were speechless, Zhu Ping's words brought them back to reality.

"So, you can't let the relationship between the servant and his wife be too good, because they will collude to deceive themselves."

"This is why Han Feizi described all people's emotions as an exchange of interests."

"It's not indifference, it's how it should be. In other words, there are real emotions in this world."

"Even if you sleep on the same bed, the person next to you will betray you at any time for your own benefit."

“What binds people is not morality and emotion, but unknown and huge interests.”

"Is this what Mr. Lin means?"

Facing Zhu Ming's extreme words, Lin Che looked unhappy and frowned, vaguely aware of the strange behavior of the other person.

It’s hard to describe for a moment, but something just doesn’t feel right.

Lin Che's eyes narrowed slightly, looking up and down, and retorted mercilessly: "Haha."

"Do you think your understanding is correct?"

"Let me explain here that Legalist thought is a trick of the ruling class and has nothing to do with ordinary people."

"Of course, including the prince."

"All princes except the crown prince."

"For example, the many servants in the story refer to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, while the adulterers refer to the powerful officials who control the court."

"And the prince who has a disobedient heart. Do you understand what I mean?"

This statement came out.

Zhu Ming suddenly froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, looking at Lin Che with eyes full of disbelief.

The words spoken by the latter would have been perfectly fine in normal times, but now they had a suggestive flavor that made Zhu Ping's heart tighten.

Swallowing the saliva in big mouthfuls still made my mouth feel dry.

I hesitated and struggled for a long time.

Zhu Fang didn't dare to answer the question or speak harshly. He quickly looked away, lowered his head, and returned the favor with his hands to cover up his guilty conscience.

"It's sir. The student is so stupid that I made you laugh. I misunderstood. I hope you will have some understanding, sir."

Seeing his stiff movements and insincere words, Lin Che became more and more sure of her previous suspicion. There was indeed something wrong with this guy Zhu Xi.

Is this the beginning of metamorphosis in advance?

Or were you deceived by others and listened to something?
I hope it's not what I think. After all, he is his student and I get along very well with him.

Take back your thoughts.

Lin Che's expression was extremely cold.

"That's all."

"I hope you can understand one thing no matter when."

"Interests determine the good and evil of people's hearts."

"But in the life of an ordinary person like you, there are not so many interest disputes. Therefore, Han Feizi's book is usually a must-read for emperors and nobles."
