Chapter 120: Self-Confessed Despicability (5)

The icing on the cake is human nature, and Li Jiaming has donated hundreds of millions of dollars for public welfare without much effort, as evidenced by the fanfare of his deeds in the domestic media.

Mao Yan, who has moved into the Lujiazui office, also added fuel to the fire in his company's game forum, cheering hard for his brother, and hanging a banner at the door of the company to celebrate his brother's victory in the CCTV Economic Person of the Year Award.

The first two winners were Wu Lao, the dean of Yanyuan School of Economics, the former central government's think tank, and Mr. Liu of Lenovo Group.

Li Jiaming won the only award every year in the year he was established, indicating that his achievements have been highly recognized by the party and the government. In other words, Li Jiaming, whose two high-tech companies have become officially recognized business leaders, will be next members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the Youth Federation...... and other titles.

Bow to its prosperity and have honor. Even Mao Tong, who has escaped from his cousin's halo, is honored, not to mention Wen Ping and Zhang Shaolong? The power of role models is endless, Zhang Shaolong and Wen Ping discussed with them, and then found Mao Tong and Xiao Gou, and everyone also decided to make a charitable foundation to support the medical and health undertakings in their hometown.

‘…… In view of the fact that the company is in a period of rapid development and the financial pressure is huge, it donated 100 million RMB for the treatment of leukemia for the elderly in Yuanzhou City. If there is any surplus of funds, it will be used for the treatment of white miasma for the elderly in neighboring counties and cities in Yuanzhou. ’

Li Jiaming, who was preparing to participate in the award ceremony in the capital, couldn't help but shake his head secretly. If your strength is not as good as yourself, you can't get rid of the Yamen of the Red Cross, I don't know that it is the Yamen of the No. 1 leader and president?

On the satellite phone, Mao Yan explained: "Jiaming, we don't want people to pluck their feathers. Some things, it's better to be clean. ……”

Li Jiaming, who was holding a satellite phone instead of a mobile phone, was silent, and when his brother finished explaining, he was relieved: "Mao Tong, you have finally matured." There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. Everything is done according to your heart. ”

Wen Ping, who was sitting on Mao Yan's desk, was stunned, what did this mean, why did it sound so awkward?

After answering the phone, Mao Yan, who was praised by his brother, said proudly: "Wang Yangming's four-sentence teaching is also his philosophy of the world. ”

"What do you mean? Will he delve into Confucianism? ”

It's not bad, I finally know who Wang Yangming is, Mao Tong quipped: "Do you know what Confucianism is?" Confucianism, in addition to being a religion, is also a real philosophy, and although it has logical flaws, it is not like those trolls spray. ”

With the advent of the Internet era, all kinds of remarks are muddy and sandy, if Li Jiaming does not advocate Confucianism, Wen Ping, who knows nothing about this, will laugh at it, but the boss admires this knowledge, and it must have its merits.

"How many books have those trolls read? They forgot the usefulness of Confucianism, which was actually a dialogue with the emperor and those in power, not to educate the common people at all. Since the Han Dynasty, the imperial power was too strong, and the Confucian scholars relied on the courage to kill themselves to correct the mistakes of the supreme authorities.

What do you think Confucianism is? Those officials who went up to the imperial examination? Wrong, only those who have iron bones and convictions in their hearts are called Confucianism. Confucius's time was the collapse of ritual music, so he wanted to restore order with ritual music; Mencius's era was a time of great competition, so he proposed to regulate the behavior of the monarch with benevolence and righteousness, so that the people would not suffer from war. ”

Right? How is it completely different from what you know?

Faced with Wen Ping's doubts, Mao Tong, who majored in history, said with a smile: "That was a good thing done by Yi Baisha at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, but in fact, it was to pour dirty water on Confucianism, and there was no 'depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone' in history." In "The Biography of Dong Zhongshu", it is written that "Pushing the Kong family and suppressing the hundred schools"; In "Emperor Wu Ji Zan", it is also "deposing the hundred schools of thought, and the chapter "Six Classics", there is no such thing as exclusive respect for Confucianism.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, due to years of war and turmoil, the world was in hardship, and the rulers adopted inaction in politics and implemented light taxation in the economy. With the development of the economy and the progress of society, strengthening the centralized power system has become an urgent need at that time, but Huang Lao's thought, which advocates quiet and inaction, can no longer meet the above-mentioned political needs, and a new theory must be found as the theoretical basis for strengthening centralized power. The Confucian idea of unification in the Spring and Autumn Period, the idea of benevolence and righteousness, and the ethical concept of monarchs and ministers were obviously adapted to the situation and tasks faced at that time. Thus, in the field of thought, Confucianism finally replaced the dominance of Taoism, and was gradually established by the rulers as a religious ideology of governance. ”

This topic is getting farther and farther away, but Wen Ping listened to it with relish, Mao Tong is not good in other aspects, he is definitely an expert in history, but Mao Tong pulled the topic back.

According to Jiaming, Wang Yangming's previous Confucianism has become stale, and even become a stepping stone to his career, although there are real Confucians, but more hypocrites. Wang Yangming's greatest contribution is to restore Confucianism to its original face, and to develop it into a real science; It is not for some kind of need, ignoring the situation and context of the saint at that time, to deliberately distort the words of the saint. ”

I don't know what to do, the studious Wen Ping hurriedly said: "However, there is no logic from the Analects to Mencius?" ”

"Fart! Does the person who said this have a brain? The same sentence must be referred to the context of the time to understand its true meaning. What if Confucianism has no logic and can replace other scholarships as the governing ideology of the ruling class? You have been a fool of the intellectuals for more than 2,000 years? ”

"I don't understand"

In fact, it is very simple, in Confucianism, the most useful for rulers is the concept of ethics and the idea of great unification, because it means order.

Confucianism advocates the establishment of a political order centered on imperial power based on the ethics of the monarch and the courtiers, and then regulates the behavior of the monarch with benevolence and morality. This was already the most advanced idea at that time, and it allowed the interests of the monarch and subjects to be protected to a certain extent. Europe was either collectively *** or selling indulgences in that era! ”

Interesting, Wen Ping, a science and engineering man, listened to it with relish, but he couldn't figure it out. Confucianism is certainly advanced, but that was under the historical conditions at that time, what era is it now, and the boss is still interested in those, and even regarded it as a philosophy of life?

"Don't read! Do you think you can play fewer games and read more useful books? ”

"Mao Yan, you have to rely on your conscience to talk about this, Lao Tzu was originally developing games!"

Mao Tong, who said it very quickly, was dissatisfied: "Work is work, learning is learning, you have to learn to keep pace with the times!" ”

"Tell me, you know all these things anyway, so I'm too lazy to read them."

Where does this start? Confucianism itself is not a success science, but in the end it is regarded as a success science, which makes Mao Tong talk about it?
