Chapter 35: Purging (9)
Wei Ze's father-in-law, Qi Yu, arrived at Wei Ze's mansion in the name of seeing his daughter, but it was obvious that the old man's purpose was to wait for Wei Ze to come back. So at about 1o o'clock in the evening, when Wei Ze finally returned to his residence exhausted, he saw that Qi Yuchang was still talking with Qi Hongyi.
Qi Yuchang didn't have any position at this time, and he couldn't go directly to Wei Ze's Governor's Mansion to serve, seeing Wei Ze coming back, Qi Yuchang asked with concern: "Wei Ze, is it no longer appropriate to write now?" ”
Wei Ze was stunned for a moment, and then understood Qi Yuchang's thoughts. Wei Ze led such a large army into Guangdong and captured the city of Guangzhou. While the whole Guangdong was shaking, it was natural to consider why Wei Ze was making such a big move. The purpose of the text is to make it clear to all localities that Wei Ze's purpose in coming to Guangdong is what he is going to do.
"Father-in-law, I'm in the process of unifying my thoughts internally, and it's too late for the time being to ...... this article." Weese replied.
"Are you afraid that someone won't listen to you?" Qi Yuchang asked.
Of course, Wei Ze was afraid that the brothers would not listen to him, Qi Yuchang's question was really to the point, and Wei Ze was a little speechless.
Seeing that Wei Ze didn't speak, Qi Yuchang said: "Since everyone worships you as the master, who dares not to listen to you now?" ”
Wei Ze sighed: "Killing without teaching is abuse, not abstaining from being violent, and slowing down orders leads to thieves." Now I still have limited teaching internally, so if this article is written to make everyone feel that it is beneficial to follow me, for me, it will not even reach the bottom line I hope for. ”
Qi Yuchang stared at Wei Ze for a while before he said, "Wei Ze, who are you reading from?" ”
"Just see for yourself." Wei Ze could only reply. And for the content of the Analects, Wei Ze is really self-taught. Buy a copy and read the Analects translated into modern Chinese, at least you can understand what is said in the book. Moreover, there are several wonderful people among Wei Ze's netizens who have a very deep understanding of the Analects, and Wei Ze has also learned a lot from them. But there is no way to say this to Qi Yuchang about these things.
After listening to Wei Ze's use of "The Analects? Yao said", Qi Yuchang was extremely emotional. "Wei Ze, if you say that you don't want to reign in the world, I don't believe it. But from what you just said, it seems that the reign of the world is not enough to achieve your ambitions. We are relatives, and I can't stay out of your business anyway, but I don't know if you can tell me what your ambitions are? ”
Having stayed in the Dongwang Mansion, Qi Yuchang naturally knows Wei Ze's background very well. As the first general under Yang Xiuqing, Wei Ze's information is the focus of investigation in Dongwangfu. Among the people in charge of these things, there are Nanjing scholars who have a good relationship with Qi Yuchang. Qi Yuchang learned that Wei Ze was a famous Hakka mercenary who licked blood from the knife edge, and felt that Wei Ze was really unusual. And when Qi Yuchang first met Wei Ze, he didn't see that Wei Ze was actually a murderer at all, he only thought that Wei Ze was a genuine reader. Such a guy, if he is ambitious, must not be such a simple idea.
His father-in-law is a bibliophile and reader, and Wei Ze doesn't look down on readers at all, so he also wants to try to see if his father-in-law can accept his ideas, so Wei Ze called Li Yifang, made strong tea, and talked about his political philosophy to these people who have read books.
Obviously, Qi Hongyi and Li Yifang, the two women, had limited interest in Wei Ze's concept, and it was getting late at this time, and they only listened to the problems of productivity and production relations, and their eyelids fought. Wei Ze could only let the two women rest, and he wanted to continue to talk with Qi Yuchang. Unexpectedly, the two women insisted on not leaving, they washed their faces with cold water, and insisted on listening.
However, after Wei Ze talked about the essence of politics is class rule, the two women may have really become interested, or they have overslept, but they don't seem sleepy. They listened carefully to Wei Ze's narration, looking very interested. As for Qi Yuchang, he was already stunned at this time. After listening to the fact that the state is a tool of class rule, Qi Yuchang praised: "Wei Ze, when you say this, it is no wonder that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can agree to depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools. He didn't take a home, but a technique. It seems that the ancients were honest and did not deceive me! ”
Wei Ze smiled: "Confucian characters, there is a character on the left, and a demand word on the right." I don't know what it meant when it was coined, but just look at it. It's about people's needs. People have needs, in fact, this word is quite good. The problem with Confucianism is that when Confucianism arises, Confucianism is basically finished. Confucius understood the truth after studying the Six Classics, but later generations of Confucian scholars wanted to learn from Confucianism and gain status. The two are not the same thing at all, one is self-cultivation, and the other is seeking social status. In the end, all the six classics were lost. The Six Classics died, and the study of the Six Classics arose. ”
"The Six Classics died, and the study of the Six Classics arose. That's a wonderful thing to say! Qi Yuchang praised.
Wei Ze said in his heart, I heard what the wonderful man said, I think it is wonderful, you old guys are naturally wonderful. However, he didn't want to be too showy, so he continued, "There is another reason why Confucianism is completely finished, and that is that it does not work. Up to now, what scholars seek is privilege, they can not work after becoming an official, and they can have all kinds of power to oppress laborers after becoming an official. However, when productivity is limited, everyone is playing a zero-sum game, and if these people who do not work take more, the laborers will take less. Those who do not work eat more, and those who work must eat less. I have ambitions, nothing more than being able to distribute according to work. It's a very difficult thing, but I want to work hard to do it and set a precedent. ”
Qi Yuchang may be regarded as a petty bourgeoisie, relying on bibliophiles to rent books and collect some land rent to eat, so he can quite understand this. While nodding, Qi Yuchang said, "Wei Ze, what you said is very good. ”
"Okay, I don't think so!" Qi Hongyi finally couldn't help but interject, "If the laborers take more or even take both, then the non-laborers have to take less or even not at all." Now the non-laborers are either starving to death on the side of the road, or they are rich. It's strange that people get up and play with you like this! ”
Qi Yuchang was obviously not very satisfied with his daughter's interference, he glared at his daughter, "What are you interjecting?" ”
Wei Ze hurriedly stopped Qi Yuchang, "Father-in-law, since Hongyi is sitting here listening to us, we have to let her speak." Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her listen to it anyway. ”
Qi Yuchang saw Wei Ze taking care of Qi Hongyi so much, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, but after a while, Qi Yuchang said: "Wei Ze, it is not a good thing to interfere in the harem. ”
Qi Hongyi frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his father's statement. Wei Ze said with a smile: "It's really not good to do politics in the harem, but Hongyi must have his own political concept and position." Everyone is talking and discussing, and we can't help but let her speak. ”
Qi Hongyi was actually not afraid of her father at all, and at this time, with her own husband so supportive, she looked at her father with a coquettish expression and a grin, and then moved the stool and sat next to Wei Ze.
Qi Yuchang was so helpless that he could only smile and say: "This is really a husband and a wife!" Wesser, don't spoil the redness. ”
Wei Ze laughed twice, but put away his smile, "Actually, Hongyi is right, the most difficult thing for me now is not how to kill those rich and powerful people now, because as long as the political and production level in my concept is really improved, their old way of life will definitely be shattered." It's not that I deliberately shattered it, but as soon as the world changes, their set of things won't work. What I am embarrassed about now is that if I write clearly in the text, they will think that they have no future, and they will fight me to the death. ”
Qi Yuchang had already understood why Wei Ze used the Analects? In the words of Yao Yue", the meaning of that passage is that killing people who break the law without indoctrination is called torture; If you ask people to succeed without training and guidance, that is called violence; If you do not supervise in the early stage and forcibly supervise when the deadline is approaching, that is called a thief; It is also to give people money, but to be stingy, which is called stinginess.
Qi Yuchang actually failed to understand many of the theories Wei Ze said, but he understood the immediate problems that Wei Ze was talking about. What Weize is worried about is that he still can't lead people forward and get rich together. Therefore, Wei Ze was afraid of harming the vested interests of too many people, so he led the people who "don't work" in Wei Ze's mouth to fight back in an all-round way.
Qi Yuchang said with a smile: "Prioritize, Wei Ze, I'm afraid you're just thinking wrong now." You think too much, you do a lot, but you don't say anything. Right now, what Guangzhou is waiting for you to speak your mind. Instead of burying your head in the first thing now. Wei Ze, you killed the Manchu people at the moment, whether you are in Anhui or Jiangnan, you shouted too many times early that you want to oppose the Qing. But Guangdong doesn't know. What they see is that you have cut countless heads with a steel knife, why you cut it, by what standard, who can cut it, who can not cut it, and how long you can cut it. People don't know! You just think about your many ideals and ambitions now, but what the people in Guangdong are thinking is, when will King Wei be killed? You say, don't you? ”
"Uh......, yes! I'll write the simplest essay tomorrow! Weese replied.
Seeing that Wei Ze was finally freed from his thoughts, Qi Yuchang began to say the real purpose of his visit to Wei Ze this time, "Wei Ze, I don't think there are literati in your Governor's Mansion, this is not good." Having just listened to what you said, I kind of understand why you don't want to believe the literati. However, the history books talk about the way of the emperor, if you are only close to your old department, it is not a good way for the emperor. In this matter, even if the literati do not make you happy or satisfied, you must use them! I still hope you will think about it. ”
Wei Ze was sleepy first, and secondly, he also felt that he really needed political talents, so he nodded, "Thank you, father-in-law!" ”
