230 Nature

"Looking for me late at night, if it's for Han Fei's business, it's not necessary, I have already stopped asking about the government."

After leaving Li Si's mansion, Li Ling first locked himself up in Taifu's mansion, and then suddenly ran to Lü Buwei's mansion until late at night.

Looking at Lü Buwei in front of him, Li Ling had an illusion in a trance, as if this Lü Buwei had grown old overnight, perhaps, the current Lü Buwei is more like a twilight old man who has spent most of his life for the Qin State.

"I want to ask Lu Zi for something, and I ask Lu Zi not to blame him for being abrupt."

"Excuse me?"

claimed to be below, and changed the past and suddenly called Lü Buwei Lu Zi, Li Ling's operation really made Lü Buwei a little incomprehensible.

It stands to reason that there is no major event in the Qin State except for Han Fei's death, and although Han Fei died in the Qin State, South Korea is not afraid at all, and he does not dare to point fingers and complain, what is this Li Ling going to do?

"As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but it is difficult to change, and it is difficult to ......"

"There is a common saying, brother, this is the first time the old man has heard of this common saying."

"Uh."

Lu Buwei's smiling words directly left Li Ling speechless, thinking about it carefully, it took at least 1,800 years before this sentence was recorded for the first time in the late Ming Dynasty writer Feng Menglong's "Xingshi Hengyan", and it was put in the pre-Qin period, which is really not a common saying, but a new theoretical summary.

"Anyway, that's what it means, isn't it that if a person's temperament is like this, even if someone warns and guides him the day after tomorrow, he still can't change his nature?"

"You let the old man think about this."

If this question was asked by others, I am afraid that Lu Buwei would not need to think about it at all, but now that Li Ling brought it up, he must be cautious.

"There has been a dispute between good and evil in human nature for many years, even among Confucianism, there are quite differences, Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, while Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil, not to mention that all schools of thought have their own opinions."

When it comes to human nature, Lü Buwei thinks that he has no right to speak, and can only quote some other people's opinions, which is the most elusive thing in the world.

"Water letter is not divided into things, and it is not divided into upper and lower things? The goodness of human nature is also like water. There is nothing wrong with people, and there is nothing wrong with water. Now the husband water, beating and jumping, can make the wind; Radical and action, can be made in the mountains. Is it the nature of water? And so it goes. What a person can do is not good, but so is his nature. ”

"Uh... That, can Brother Lu be more straightforward. ”

Scratching his scalp vigorously, Li Ling was not an ancient person, his brain couldn't turn so fast, and after Lu Buwei finished speaking, Li Ling hadn't been able to fully react to the meaning of the words.

"This is Mencius's point of view, which sounds very reasonable, human nature is like water, and it can be easily changed by applying external forces."

"But man is an independent individual with life and thoughts, not water."

"Yes. Therefore, the old man did not agree with what Mencius said at this point, but there are also many wicked people in this world who have been reformed and changed their ways, and there are many righteous people who have been corrupted and become ......."

"Become a fly and go back?"

"Yes, brother, your wording is really sharp, and it is very accessible."

For Li Ling's addition, Lu Buwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"But these people have to face temptations that are far beyond the norm to make such a major change, so what you just said is easy to change and difficult to change, but it is not unreasonable."

"So what Brother Lu means is that unless I stare at him every day, it is possible for him to change the selfishness in his nature?"

"But do you have that much time to stay in the Tingwei Mansion?"

Originally, Lü Buwei wondered why Li Ling would run to his idler's side late at night to ask such a question, until Li Ling said that he was selfish and selfish, and Lü Buwei immediately determined that Li Ling was talking about Li Si.

Han Fei died unexpectedly, maybe others can't see it, but Lu Buwei is very clear why this Li Si dared to risk angering Li Ling and had to get rid of Han Fei, Li Si was Lu Buwei's protégé in his early years, and Lu Buwei also knew that this Li Si was talented, but he knew very well that this person was a real villain who would do anything for his own selfish interests, so he didn't dare to use it.

"That's why I'm embarrassed, I want to come and ask Brother Lu for advice, and ask Brother Lu to give me some advice."

"If the old man had a way, would he not need him in the first place? Do you really think that the old man couldn't see through you at the beginning, and you were looking for the old man for Li Si? ”

"It's... Don't say it so bluntly, it's embarrassing. ”

"Haha."

Seeing Li Ling deflated, Lu Buwei couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, since you, Wu Anjun, finally came to the old man's place, why don't you accompany the old man for a few drinks?"

"Okay."

......

"Wu Anjun, Wu Anjun, wake up, wake up, wake up, the king, the king is here."

It wasn't until he was woken up by Zhao Gao that Li Ling suddenly found that it was noon, and he didn't know when he slept in the guest room of the Lu Mansion.

"Master, Zheng'er heard that the master came to find the middle father in the middle of the night last night and didn't return overnight, so Zheng'er came to take a look, but I didn't expect the master to rest here."

After supporting Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng said bluntly.

"What, are you still afraid that your middle father will eat me?"

Obviously seeing Ying Zheng's worries, Li Ling directly joked that Lu Buwei and himself were mortal enemies back then, but now they are not.

"No... No. ”

"By the way, there's something I wanted to tell you about."

"Master, please speak."

Hearing that Li Ling actually had something, Ying Zheng hurriedly sat down and waited for Li Ling's orders.

"The Huns are armed with a large army, but Beidi County and Longxi County have many people and are not suitable for preparing for war, so I want to place the troops around Yucheng."

"That's no problem, Zheng'er will order all the idle people around Yucheng to move out tomorrow to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the matter of the big military war."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

"Not this?"

Is there anything else besides this?

Ying Zheng couldn't think of it.

"Yucheng is too far away from Beidi and Longxi, and the west of Xianyang is so difficult and dangerous, if there is really a war, the mobilization of the army will not be able to take it by surprise."

"What does the master mean?"

"I want to be able to build a highway... Phew, build a wide and strong avenue, in the event of a war, the troops can go straight to the border through the straight road, and immediately enter the battle, so that the enemy can not make adjustments in a short time and seize the opportunity. ”

I almost said that the highway was said, obviously there could be no highway in this era, but the historical Qin Zhidao could have been built a few years earlier.

"What? Having a hard time? ”

After he finished speaking, Ying Zheng was just stunned and didn't give Li Ling a reply, Li Ling thought that there was something difficult about his proposal, after all, it is not a simple job to open mountains and build roads, let alone now?

"Nope! Zheng'er was just shocked by the master's grand vision and foresight. If this straight road is completed, it can not only be used for military purposes, and when the Xiongnu are pacified in the future, it can also be used as a road for economic exchanges, so that the Western Regions can communicate with our Great Qin. ”
