Volume 1 Chapter 96 Student Gathering (2)
Lu Jiahong saw that Dou Yuquan was such a poor sour person who dared to contradict him, and immediately looked a little unhappy, but tonight was all discussed by students, and he couldn't make a speech, so he could only vent his anger on Liu Ximing, who was snickering on the side.
In his opinion, this Liu Ximing is just a son of a poor family, and it is too late to study weekdays, where is the time to understand the general trend of the imperial court, just let him make a fool of himself.
"Since Brother Liu is laughing, there must be another high opinion, why don't you say it and give me some advice?"
Eh, Liu Ximing was a little speechless, what the hell are you doing with labor and management.
However, Lu Jiahong took the initiative to invite, and the others all looked at it in unison, Liu Ximing casually glanced around, and found that Xie Chunxi next to him was also looking at him with little stars in his eyes, which made him a little vanity.
Pretending to be forced is pretending to be forced, I haven't been afraid of anyone about this.
"Hehe, the two of them have their own reasons, and the reason why there is a disagreement, as far as I can see, is just because of information asymmetry."
Li Qifan asked with some interest: "What does Brother Liu say about this, what is the information asymmetry?" β
Hehe, this is also information asymmetry, Liu Ximing was happy in his heart, cleared his throat and continued to pretend.
"The so-called information asymmetry is a term invented by oneself, and the information person also refers to all the situations and news in the world. Information asymmetry refers to the fact that the sources and contents of the information obtained between the two people are different, so there are many disputes and problems. The reason why the imperial court governs the people and the reason why the merchants make profits is because of information asymmetry. For example, if a merchant knows about the drought in B before others, then he can transport grain to B to sell before others, so as to make huge profits......"
Li Qifan and the others nodded again and again when they heard it, and everyone understood the reason as soon as they said it, but this statement was fresh.
Lu Jiahong saw that everyone was echoing Liu Xi's life, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and interrupted Liu Xi's life impatiently: "What nonsense, you haven't said anything about the court yet." β
Liu Ximing glanced at Lu Jiahong and continued quietly: "The differences between Brother Lu and Brother Dou are different in their respective channels for obtaining information, but I think that it seems inappropriate to judge the overall situation of the DPRK and China based on hearsay alone. β
"The sage cloud knows what it is, and why it is so. As for the root cause, I thought it was the imperial court system, and if we really knew the advantages and disadvantages of the imperial court system, we could naturally reason whether the world would be peaceful or chaotic. β
Dou Yuquan clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a happy face: "Brother Liu's words are right, but this method of analysis is exquisite." β
Liu Ximing looked around and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and he felt a little proud in his heart: "This method of analysis is also simple, just peel off one thing to the core, I call it logical analysis, for example, A can push out B, B can push out C, but you can't directly reason from A to C." The same is true for the analysis of general affairs, what is the general trend of the world, if you only judge from various news, it is like directly inferring from A to C, and it is inevitable that there will be disagreements in the middle, and the missing link in the middle is the analysis of the imperial court system. β
"To analyze the imperial court system, then first think about how the imperial court dominates the world, in my opinion, the reason why the Son of Heaven can have people from all over the world is that one is to control money and grain, the second is to appoint and dismiss officials, and the third is to hold the generals hostage."
Liu Ximing deliberately concealed something here, in fact, in his opinion, there is only one thing that is really important to rule the world, that is, the degree of access to information, as long as you have the most comprehensive information in the world, then you can play with others in applause when formulating any policy.
But these are all imperial tricks, but there is no need to talk nonsense everywhere.
Liu Ximing paused and continued: "The so-called mastery of money and grain depends on how much tax the court can collect from the local government. There are clouds in the Book of Changes, "there is water on the Ze, the festival, the gentleman to the system of several degrees, discuss virtue", the heaven and the earth can always be new, the country can be stable if there is a festival, and now the clan officials have no moderation, and the world is not chaotic. β
"In addition, the appointment and dismissal of officials, now only the officials are appointed by the imperial court, and the officials are all filled by the local government, but the main hall officials are changed every three years, and all local government affairs fall into the hands of small officials. There is a cloud in the Book of Changes, 'The king has a life, the founder inherits the family, and the villain should not use it', which can really be described as a sentence. β
"Finally, when it comes to the coercion of military generals, the imperial court law is to use the military to control the military, and the military attachΓ©s and generals are mostly controlled by civilian officials, and now the atmosphere, from the battle strategy to the rewards and punishments in the army, are all controlled by officials who do not know military affairs, and how can they win the battle when they encounter a fierce and brave enemy?"
Everyone in the pavilion looked at Liu Ximing in surprise, in fact, there are many people of insight in the court, and these truths that Liu Ximing said are not new, but it is different for these students who have not yet been admitted to Xiucai, and everyone feels that it sounds like they are very powerful.
Xie Chunxi stared at Liu Ximing with bright eyes, and saw that Liu Ximing had a chill down his spine.
Lu Jiahong was full of anger when he saw this situation, where did he come from to dare to steal the limelight of the master, he squinted at everyone, and suddenly pointed at Liu Ximing and said: "It's really nonsense, the laws of the court are all ancestral systems, you are talking so much, don't you mean that the laws of the ancestors of this dynasty are not good?" β
Hey, you little bastard, and you learned to buckle a big hat, right?
Liu Ximing was about to sneer back immediately, but was grabbed by Li Qifan, only to hear him smile and persuade the two: "Brother Lu said carefully, today is just a gathering and chatting, everyone is just expressing their opinions, why hurt the harmony." β
"Hmph"
Liu Ximing and Lu Jiahong glanced at each other, and both of them snorted and turned their heads to ignore them.
Dou Yuquan was very interested in Liu Ximing, and pulled him to keep asking: "Brother Liu's method of analysis is not what is the root cause, in the past, what we learned was to pay attention to 'know first, then know lightly', only say that everyone 'keeps heavenly principles and destroys people's desires' can make the world peaceful, but it is not like Brother Liu who directly points to the essence of affairs." β
, the young man has a future, Liu Ximing was happy in his heart, this guy actually heard his own words, since the final analysis of the problem is that there is something wrong with the system, then of course we can't pay attention to solving problems from the heart like science and psychology, but take the initiative to solve the problem from the external level.
This is actually some of Liu Ximing's thoughts for many days, science and psychology are originally from the same family, but science is objective idealism, which pays attention to observing external objects and experiencing the heart, while psychology is subjective idealism, focusing on directly observing the heart, the so-called nothing outside the heart.
Then why later generations think that science is a scourge, and mind is a good thing, the most critical point is that the two put forward different ideas to solve the problem, mind requires the unity of knowledge and action, as long as you find the inner conscience, and then extend the conscience to external things to practice, so that the standard of doing things is their own inner conscience, and pay attention to the subjective initiative of each person, so the mind is more positive.
Zhu Xi and other Confucian scholars derived a complete set of three outlines and five constants according to the principles of heaven, and then used this set of things to limit people's hearts, which means that you brothers don't think about anything else, as long as you restrain your inner desires according to the principles of heaven I said, then the world will naturally be peaceful, so that everyone will no longer think independently, and their thoughts will naturally be slowly imprisoned.
These emperors of China are all human beings in these aspects, and these people immediately find the beauty in Zhu Xi's set of things, if everyone in the world acts in accordance with this set of three outlines and five permanent standards, then naturally no one will think about the east and west, and the emperor's position will be secure.
Liu Ximing thought about this, and while instilling his own philosophy in Dou Yuquan, he said: "The books of sages are all used for reading, but not for doing things. I think that the official should not only stick to the reasoning of others, or only pay attention to the argument of one's own heart, but should know the laws of heaven through one's own investigation and analysis, and then compare it with the goodness of one's own heart. β
Speaking of this, Liu Ximing is actually already discussing the difference between materialism and idealism, what he wants to instill in Dou Yuquan is that all human behaviors should be based on reality, matter determines consciousness, and consciousness reacts on matter, which is also a little attempt he made to change the Dameng Dynasty.
Dou Yuquan immediately fell into thought when he heard this, Xie Wenle stood aside and looked at Liu Ximing dumbfounded, do you kid want to be so powerful, and he has begun to refute what the sage said, so if you want to make a doctrine by yourself, you can't do it.
