The river flowed along the humble embankment, near which houses and small threshing floors appeared, and during the interplanting of trees, pedestrians occasionally looked at the road leading to the market not far away. Ning Yi led He Wen www.biquge.info towards the small courtyard by the river embankment.

“…… Promoting the development of Gewu through commerce and war, and using the progress of productive forces, so that people in the world can begin to study, is the first step that must be taken. In the end, it is hoped that the people will be able to grasp the truth and logic, make up for the shortcomings of top-down innovation, and make sure that bottom-up supervision can digest the solidification of interests and negative causes that continue to arise in this society. Of course, there is a lot of work to be done. ”

Ning Yi said with a smile: "My wife Liu Xigua is very advocating the concept of returning power to the individual, she tries to make the people of the Badao Battalion able to rely on self-choice and rational voting to control their own destiny, of course, after so long, everything can still only be said to be in the embryonic state, the people of the Badao Battalion believe in her, as she tosses, but whether this choice can make people get a good result, she herself has no confidence, and the result may be the opposite." I don't advocate voting autonomy at this stage, and I often debate with her, and if she can't do it, she will beat me...... Of course she can't beat me, but it's not good, it affects ...... Family harmony. ”

Ning Yi's words were humorous, and He Wen also smiled, he had been in the Black Flag for three years, so he naturally understood what kind of skills Liu Watermelon of the Sword Battalion had.

"The key point that can make a right choice is not reading, or even knowledge, even if a person can memorize all the knowledge in the world, it does not necessarily mean that he is a person who can make the right choice. The key to making the right choice lies in logic. Confucianism...... In other words, in the early stage of the development of all learning, because it is impossible to explain all the truths to everyone, it is more likely to form conventional concepts. You have to be a good person, you have to be moral. 'Righteousness followed by salute. The husband is the first of the faithful and the chaotic', good people, morality, this is propriety or righteousness......"

Ning Yi said, He Wen's face had sunk: "Mr. Ning, you are too deviant!" Morality is the foundation of man, if there is no morality, how different is man from beasts! What do you ......?"

"Why should man be different from beasts!?" Ning Yi glanced at him, "I'm going to be a beast today, not a human, will the sky release thunder to cut me!" Why do you have to be a good person, why do you have to be moral, you say it is natural, then you really can't ask!? This is the last question that leads to logic! If morality is really justified, then if it is born, why do you need to learn and teach, why do you need to ask for courtesy! ”

He Wen's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he stopped in place: "That's ...... I want to ask Mr. Ning for advice! When he came to the Black Flag Army, he knew that it was almost impossible to convince Ning Yi with his tongue alone, and after three years of getting along, he also had some admiration for Ning Yi in his heart, and he was unwilling to resist with his tongue at this time. As Ning Yi said, Confucianism is powerful, after all, something is wrong, so no matter how he describes the greatness of Confucianism, he can't touch the core of the other party. He Wen knew that he was leaving, so he understood what Ning Yi was thinking before leaving, but his argument was not enthusiastic, but Ning Yi's sentence "Why be a good person and why be moral" really touched his bottom line, and at this time, he also became tough.

Ning Yi turned around, stood there, and said word by word: "The ultimate goal of being a good person and being moral is because by doing so, you can safeguard the long-term interests of all people without collapsing the cycle of interests." ”

He Wen was silent for a moment, and then sneered: "There are only interests in this world. ”

Since Mr. He is taboo about interests, he might as well replace them with demand. People in the world need not only money, but also spiritual stability and the realization of self-worth. Since ancient times people formed societies and began to cooperate, the essence of cooperation is to meet the various needs of human beings. In order to make the cooperation between people continue for a long time, the saints you think have summed up the various laws that people need to follow when getting along with each other, and in the later development, people gradually understand more and more rules that need to be followed, which we call morality. ”

"In the past of Confucianism, not everyone can read books, and there is no way to explain the truth to this point, so these things are passed on as things that do not need to be discussed, only need to be observed, and for thousands of years, people really feel that these do not need to be discussed. But the question is, if one day, I don't want to be a good person, I don't talk about morality, will God punish me? I will even get short-term, more benefits, and slowly, I feel that benevolence, righteousness and morality are all false. ”

After Ning Yi said this, he turned around and walked forward: "The morality of the past has taught many people to be good people. Okay, now that good people are right, ordinary people will immediately deny everything when they see the slightest 'bad' thing. As I said, two interest groups are competing against each other, saying that the other is bad and the other is asking for money, can ordinary people make the best choice in the middle? The paper workshop is polluted, and a person comes out and says that the pollution will cause a big problem, and we say, this person is a bad person, so what the bad person says, it is naturally also bad, so there is no need to think about it. As I said before, ordinary people who are wrong to this extent in their basic perception of the world actually choose right and wrong according to fate. ”

"When we can start asking this question, and let the relationship between morality and good people depend on each person, then of course they can make a better choice. Under the existing conditions, what can make the interests of society change for a longer and longer term is a better choice. At least they won't be confused by all the. ”

As they said this, the two walked into the courtyard by the riverbank. He Wen knew that this courtyard belonged to the Jishan Chamber of Commerce, but he had never been there, and after entering, it was also an ordinary three-entry courtyard, with several accounting staff walking outside, and there seemed to be a conference room and a few working rooms in the courtyard.

Ning Yi pointed to the conference room and said, "There have been several discussions here, talking about the principles of the game in the development of the market. One of the big concepts of the gambling principle is that in a market of countless people, the average value that everyone gets is the highest when everyone is able to think about the industry itself. The same is true of society, when everyone in a society tries to abide by morality as much as possible, everyone can get the most benefits. This realization, which we hope to be able to prove mathematically in the later stage, is enough to become the foundational theory of society. ”

Ning Yi said this, He Wen still couldn't understand clearly, but he also shook his head: "However, the development of society is often not the optimal system, but the sub-optimal system, and it can only be used as an illustrative theory for the time being, and it is not easy to do, Mr. He, go inside......" His words sounded like he was talking to himself, and he didn't seem to intend for He Wen to understand.

Walk through the atrium, enter the innermost courtyard, the afternoon sun is quietly spilling down, this courtyard is quiet, there are no people, Ning Yi opened the house in the middle, the room is lined with bookshelves, the middle three tables are together, several stacks of manuscript paper are pressed on the table with stones, and there are some pen and ink inkstones and other things next to it, it looks like an office place.

"Just sit, there are not many people in this place, I came back last fall, every time I come to Jishan, I will also call some trustworthy and intelligent young people here, let them think, and then write down some exam questions......"

Ning Yi pointed to the manuscript paper on the table, and He Wen picked it up and looked at it.

"As I said, I don't trust the choices of the people now, because they don't understand logic, so promote logic. The Confucian way of the gentleman, what we now call democracy, is ultimately to enable people to be autonomous, all learning is actually the same way, in the end, the brilliance of human nature is the greatest, what my wife Liu Xigua thinks is that in the end, the people can take the initiative to choose the emperor they want, or the emperor they want, choose the prime minister they want - it doesn't matter, it's all the details. But the most important thing is how to achieve it. ”

"Then let's take the exam." Ning Yi raised his hand, "What you are holding in your hand is a pass to the citizen...... Its scrap and prototype. These topics we have come up with require that they be relatively complex and dialectical, and that they can also point out the laws of social operation with relative accuracy. Here I will not say that shouting slogans is a good person, so simple good people, we do not need him to participate in the operation of the country, what we need is to understand the complex laws of the operation of the world, and can not be discouraged, not extreme, in the topic, seek the mean...... It was certainly impossible to reach at first. ”

He Wen flipped through the manuscript paper and saw the description of "pollution", Ning Yi turned around, walked to the door, and looked at the light outside: "If we can really defeat the Jurchens and the world can stabilize, we will build many factories to meet the needs of people, let them study, and finally let them start voting." It doesn't matter what you are involved in, before voting, you must take the exam, the questions of the exam...... Let's just put it into ten questions, which are complex questions, cannot be answered, and have no right to vote. ”

He turned his head and looked at He Wen: "This exam can be discussed, plagiarized, and the questions can be released a year before the exam for them to discuss." In this way, the first batch of people, as long as they can write numbers, can have the power of citizens, speak out to the state, and then every five years and ten years, these topics will be changed according to the development of society, so that everyone in the society can understand the complexity of these topics, try to understand the basic model of the operation of the state, let it penetrate into the classroom of every school, infiltrate every aspect of every culture, and become the foundation of a country. ”

"Then, these topics need to be tempered thousands of times, discussed and refined hundreds of millions of times, and all the shining points of wisdom and culture need to be condensed......"

He Wen clenched the manuscript papers, raised his head, and gritted his teeth: "These topics will make all the people speak about their interests, will make all morals and etiquette unbalanced, and will become the cause of chaos!" ”

"yes, of course it's going to be messy." Ning Yi nodded, "Confucian society is based on reason, reason, and law, and has long been deeply rooted in everyone's heart, but the real Datong society must be based on reason and law, supplemented by love. If people talk about short-sighted benefits in the near future, it will certainly be out of control, but if each of these topics talks about long-term benefits, the core of it will be reasoning and law! The "Four Peoples", "Equality", "Gewu" and "Contract", what they all have in common are based on reason, and every penny can be clearly analyzed. ”

"There will be chaos in the world, there will be chaos in the world...... He Wen said in a deep voice, "It's clear, why are you ......"

"Of course it's going to be messy." Ning Yi nodded again, "If I fail, it will be nothing more than a country that has risen and fallen for one or two hundred years, what is the pity." However, the yearning for the people's autonomy will be engraved in everyone's heart, and the castration of Confucianism can no longer be complete. They will burn like sparks from time to time, and people can only be based on reason if they want to be independent, and if they succeed or fail, they will fall into the starting point of change. And as long as the study of things is left, this change will not be a castle in the air. ”

"Every generation in the past, if you want to talk about change, it is from the top down. Only by attaching the interests themselves to each and every one of the people, and letting them earnestly and effectively defend the rights and interests of each and every one of them, can the so-called gentlemen and the masses of gentlemen, but not the party, truly appear. When the time comes, you, as officials, will do things, and they will lend you strength, they will be part of your right proposition, lend you strength to defend their own interests, and will not pursue excessive returns. All this will only be possible when the base of the people's understanding of reason reaches a certain level. ”

He took a breath: "He Wen, of course it's good that you can see the complexity and chaos in the middle, but is the road of Confucianism really going to go?" Walking out of this mountain, you will see a dead knot that is getting bigger and bigger. Confucius said that he repaid grievances directly, saying that kings, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers, sons, and sons, and he criticized his son, and he said, everyone understands and reason, and the world will become better. When the productivity is not enough, it has been expedient for almost two thousand years, and Gewu will promote the productivity and give a possibility that it is no longer expedient. It's time to walk back. ”

"My students are very good at practical learning, but they are still not enough in deeper learning. If one day the Jurchens are defeated, I can gather the world's great Confucian scholars to participate in the discussion and come up with the questions, but I can also do it first. There are already some Confucian scholars in the Huaxia Army who are doing this, most of them are in Hedeng, but it is definitely not enough, ten or twenty years of refinement, I ask for ten questions, if you can figure it out, you can stay and write the questions. If you can't figure it out, but you are still willing to stay for Jingmei, you can do your best to argue and oppose them, and defeat all these questioners. ”

"If neither is possible." Ning Yi paused, "Then go home, I wish you to find the way of Confucianism." ”

He Wen took the manuscript paper and shook it in the air, his eyes were stern, Ning Yi smiled: "Before you leave, you just want to know what medicine I sell in my gourd, and I told you sincerely, think about it." If you want to argue with me, you are welcome. After he finished speaking, someone was already signaling at the door for him to go to the next meeting, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." If possible...... Good to Jingmei. ”

Ning Yi left from here, and there were members of the Huaxia Army waiting for He Wen outside the room. In the afternoon, the sun shines through the doors and windows, and the dust dances in the light, he sits on the stool in the room and looks through those rough and awkward topics, due to the complexity of Ning Yi's requirements, these topics are often obscure and awkward, and there are often traces of various alterations, and there are also some words written in the manuscript paper:

“…… From the basic concept of Gewuxue and the observation of the world and society in which human beings live, we can understand this basic rule: in the society in which human beings live, all conscious and influential changes are produced by the actions of every human being who makes up this society. Under the guidance of this basic rule, in order to seek the fairness and justice that can be realistically achieved by human society and sought together, we believe that all human beings are born with the following reasonable and legitimate rights: 1. The right to live ......"

This thing seems to have been written by hand, and the handwriting is very sloppy, or perhaps because it looks like awkward nonsense, the person who wrote it did not continue to write. He Wen had read him and other nonsense questions in general, and his mind was a mess, these things would obviously cause a huge disaster, and he put down the manuscript paper, and even felt that Confucianism might really be destroyed by it......

Walking out of this compound and back at school, he packed up his things and did not intend to continue teaching at the school. When he went home with a book in his arms that evening, someone pounced out from the side and punched him in the face, He Wenwu was strong in martial arts, and he was in a trance at this time, but he blocked it slightly, and the whole person was knocked to the ground.

In the first half of this book, some people say, you write so many questions, and you have to answer them in the end, how do you answer the questions, here is the answer. Regarding the system, the reverse is secondary. It's a must-have for a book.

Beyond the story: the government and the people restrain each other and can promote each other, but if they really want to promote each other, the quality of the people must reach a certain level or more. Many people think that our society has reached a high point, and the whole people have gone to school, and that's it. Actually, no.

Reading for all people is a state that has only been achieved in the past few decades, and there has also been enlightenment for people at the May Fourth Hour, vernacular and simplified characters...... The whole process and exploration did not continue to go deeper. Confucian culture has been around for 3,000 years, and the exploration of knowledge popularization has not been carried out for 200 years.

This is the only new path we have not taken, and in the next two hundred years, this may be our only chance to break the game.

I don't write deeply, some people say, I already knew, what kind of connotation do you pretend to be bananas, you are not a philosopher. I'm not, and here's what I do: I break up all the esoteric stuff and write it in such a way that even anyone without any knowledge base can understand it...... If someone says he knows everything I say, but doesn't know why I'm doing it, I don't believe it

If you are really interested, you can read some famous books and monographs that really involve philosophy, or simply use your brain, which is also a good thing.
