Everyone sat down, and Lu Shang said while personally pouring tea for Ji Chang and others: "The poor road is simple, there is no wine and food, only this thin tea banquet guests, and I hope that all the distinguished guests Haihan." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After pouring the tea, Lu Shang waited for everyone to take a sip before he spoke: "Virtue, it is a move to stabilize the hearts of the people and gather the hearts of the people and gather the people's strength." ”

"Virtue is a kind of action, so those who call virtue are not virtuous, and those who practice virtue do not speak."

"The Shang State connived at the people to worship all kinds of ghosts and gods, and these enshrined ghosts and gods first did not care whether they really existed or not, and said that they did not belong to each other and were in charge of their own affairs."

"In the long run, the people who believe in their own ghosts and gods will naturally feel suspicious, thinking that those who believe in other ghosts and gods are all aliens."

"The slightest dissent can lead to massive infighting among people!"

At the same time, the people's hearts will naturally become scattered and unable to gather because the ghosts and gods of all walks of life do not belong to each other. The people's hearts are easy to be chaotic and difficult to gather, and it is extremely difficult to gather the people's hearts again! ”

"Although the Shang country is large and its people are numerous, but the people's hearts are chaotic and cannot form a joint force at all, what are you afraid of?"

When Ji Chang heard this, he was overjoyed, but he asked again: "Although the Shang State has an opportunity, but my Zhou State is indeed poor, even if the Shang State is in turmoil, with the power of my Zhou State, I am afraid that I will not be able to take advantage of the chaos of the Shang State to prosper the Zhou and destroy the Shang!" ”

"At that time, even if in the name of my Ji Chang calls on some of them to crusade against the Shang Kingdom, I am afraid that even after destroying the Shang Kingdom, they will make wedding dresses for other countries."

Lu Shang nodded approvingly: "Xibohou is really virtuous! ”

"A person must first have the ability before he can use it."

"With the current strength of the Zhou State, it is true that even if the Shang State is destroyed, it will make a wedding dress for other countries because of the unstable foundation, so that other countries can take advantage of it."

"If the Zhou State loses the country again at that time, the human race will inevitably fall into a situation of chaos among the countries!"

"That's it. The destruction of the Shang Dynasty is not a righteous act to fight for the human race, but a chaotic act to disrupt the human race! ”

"One thing can be cubic and one thing can be destroyed. Nothing can be established, and it will be a disaster! ”

"Therefore, if you want to prosper the Zhou and destroy the business, you must first prosper the Zhou. Consolidating internal affairs and enhancing strength is the right way. ”

San Yi was in charge of Zhou's internal affairs during his lifetime, and naturally he knew the current situation of the Zhou State well, so he asked: "My Zhou State is currently very scarce in terms of population, land, and mineral resources. ”

Lu Shang smiled: "Didn't Xibohou hold the power of conquest given by the King of Shang? Zhou Guozheng can use troops against the west! ”

"Make their people their own, and take their land for their own! At that time, won't the land, population, and mineral resources be abundant? ”

Without waiting for the three of them to ask again, Lu Shang continued: "The conquest of the West is not necessarily a move to work the people and lose money, if it is planned properly, it is a great thing to enrich the country and strengthen the people!" ”

Therefore, Lu Shang explained to the three senior officials a complete set of methods for governing the country and teaching the people from the aspects of how to find a suitable time for conquest, how to train and strengthen the army, how to win by surprise, and how to select officials to manage the people.

Talk about it to the end. Lu Shang said earnestly: "Everything is done by people. If you want to do things well, you must be able to look at people. ”

"Employing people should be virtuous people, and avoid using unscrupulous people!"

"A virtuous person, even if he is wealthy, will not transgress the law of etiquette, even if he is a high-ranking official, he will not be arrogant or undisciplined, he will unswervingly complete it when he is responsible, he will not hide it from his superiors and subordinates, he will not be afraid to retreat when he is in danger, and he will be able to deal with it when it is urgent."

"A virtuous person can entrust his political affairs to his support."

"There are six thieves and seven evils for unscrupulous people. It is not beneficial, but harmful. ”

"The six thieves, one is to be an official, but to create a palace and a pool, and to enjoy the view; the second is for the people, but not for the production and willful rangers; the third is that those who are ministers have privately formed friends, deceived and obstructed governance; Fourth, those who are scholars are arrogant, flaunting their integrity, arrogant, and colluding with outsiders instead of serving the people; Fifth, he despises officials and despises superiors. ashamed of taking risks for the country and the people; Sixth, they rob wealth and oppress the poor and weak. ”

"These six thieves should be killed by persistence, otherwise they will harm the foundation of the country and the foundation of the people. If it goes on for a long time, it will definitely ruin the country and the people! ”

"The Seven Evils. One is a person who has no wisdom and strategy, but in order to obtain a heavy reward for high-ranking officials, he is brave and arrogant, rashly goes to war, and tries to get lucky, once this kind of person is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it will definitely be a bad thing! ”

"II. There is no real talent in vain, and there are different words. Those who cover up people's goodness, promote people's evil, and take advantage of camps everywhere. Such people must not work together. ”

"Third, deliberately pretending to be simple in appearance, poorly dressed, claiming to be inactive, really selling fame, claiming to have no desire, and really profiteering, this is a hypocritical person. Hypocrites must not coexist. For he who speaks is not, and he who is not speaks. It is the same principle that those who are virtuous do not speak, and those who speak are not virtuous. ”

"Fourth, the crown and belt are peculiar, the clothes are gorgeous, the erudite arguments, and the empty talk, so as to decorate the façade for themselves. But he is in a remote place, hiding in a dark place to slander the times, this is a treacherous person. Such people must not be believed! ”

"Fifth, in order to obtain an official title, slander and flattery, unscrupulous means; Those who are reckless and reckless for the sake of greed, even at the cost of their own lives. Ignoring the overall situation, acting recklessly, and talking loudly in an attempt to please the boss. Such persons should never be appointed. ”

"Sixth, engaged in carving, engraving, technical ornaments and other luxury crafts, but thus hindering the production of the three treasures of agriculture and industry."

"Seventh, those who use deceptive magic, peculiar skills, witchcraft, and charms to confuse and deceive the good people."

"The seven evils should also be killed by persistence! Otherwise, it will cause chaos in the hearts of the people and make it impossible for the people to form a joint force. If it goes on for a long time, it will also ruin the country and the people! ”

"Therefore a people are not good people if they do not do their best to plough; If a scholar is not loyal and trustworthy, he is not a good scholar; If a minister does not dare to speak out, he is not a good minister; If an official is not fair and honest and loves the people, he is not a good official; A prime minister is not a good prime minister if he cannot enrich the country and strengthen the army, reconcile all kinds of contradictions, deal with various problems, ensure the stability of the monarch's position, rectify the discipline, verify the name and truth, and strictly reward and punish the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"As a monarch, Fang Rufa is the same as the leader, far-sighted, perceptive to everything, deeply observing problems, listening to opinions prudently, showing solemnity and hiding the true feelings in his heart. It makes people feel as high as the heavens and inexhaustible, and as deep as the abyss and immeasurable. Therefore, if the monarch is angry but not angry, the traitor will stir up trouble; When you don't kill, chaos will follow; When an army is raised to fight but not a crusade, the enemy country will become stronger. ”

"The above are the six guards, three treasures, six thieves, seven harms, and six non-uses that Lu Shang did for the Hou Ye!"

"As Lu Shang said, everything is man-made, and only by using the right people and using good people can we succeed!" (To be continued.) )
