You Shixiong is now a military officer, but he was also born as a scholar, and he became an official through the imperial examination, which shows that he is a talent with both civil and military skills.

From the perspective of personality, You Shixiong is an upright person, an honest official, and does not pursue the enjoyment of life, and pays attention to practical results, which can be seen from what he eats, wears, and lives.

He originally hated the businessman industry, although he couldn't say how much he hated it, but he couldn't say that he liked it, he could make friends with people like Yang Huairen, and he could become a year-old friend who talked about it without words, which proved that he made friends because of his temperament, and he didn't look down on businessmen.

It's just that some things that happened recently made him see the bad side behind those businessmen, so he had those words that he complained about in front of Yang Huairen.

When Yang Huairen attracted a lot of rebuttals from Yang Huairen because of his words that seemed to him to be just some small complaints, he also realized that he might have made some gaffes just now.

"That, it's not that I look down on businessmen, and I agree with the existence of all walks of life that you said, and they all have their reasons, but you said that the royal way is not as good as the business road, I don't understand it a little."

You Shixiong is also modest, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, not because Yang Huairen is a junior and a young man, and he, an old man, is afraid of losing face in front of young people, so he has to pretend not to understand.

As for Yang Huairen, he won't misunderstand You Shixiong, they haven't met a few times, but between the old and the young, they can still talk, and they can also say some heart-to-heart words, and even if they commit taboo words, they don't have to worry that the other party will betray themselves.

Yang Huairen's next words may be a little taboo, but there are not many people present, and they are all loyal people that he and You Shixiong can trust, so there is no need to retreat everyone and whisper.

"The so-called royal way is that the ruler educates all the people with the rites of saints, benevolence, righteousness and morality, so that the people of the world know and follow the etiquette, and then pass on this etiquette.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just the rulers who use their values to influence the people to obey this system so that their rule can last. ”

Such words are profound and profound, and they are simple and superficial, but it is just a matter of seeing how the person who hears them understands it.

Like the people present, the two strong men, Tianba's younger brother and Han Dabang's mallet, didn't seem to understand the meaning of these words, but when the scholar said something, it didn't matter to them at all.

And for a person like Lan Ruoxin, hearing her words in her ears will still cause some emotional waves, but because her words can only be heard on the surface, she still can't distinguish the deeper meaning and can't figure it out.

But when You Shixiong heard it, he understood the truth in Yang Huairen's words very well. If someone with a heart spreads this word, and some people with a heart hear it, and you will be given a hat that despises the imperial power, it is not a trivial matter.

You Shixiong was very calm, "That's right, for thousands of years, for the superiors, they have done this, and it is understandable for them to do so."

There is no absolute equality in this world, and there are naturally rulers and people who are ruled. The ruled don't really care whether they are ruled or not, as long as the ruler gives them a good life, they don't care who is the ruler at all.

It's just that how the ancestors lived, how they still lived, and the ideology that had been formed for a long time has been deeply rooted, and no one thinks it is inappropriate.

Those few who occupy the mountains as kings, or those who have bad intentions, are not some smart people who have seen through, but just a group of people who do whatever they want.

What does this royal road you are talking about have to do with business? ”

Yang Huairen said with a smile, "For thousands of years, the royal road has paid attention to educating the people, in fact, there is indeed nothing wrong, but under the existing conditions, it seems too monotonous to govern the country and the world with the royal way, there is not enough motivation to promote the development of society, and there are not enough effective measures to improve the living standards of the people."

In the past dynasties, when it was first formed, the royal road could indeed bring all the people to their hearts, and everyone would work together to build a home destroyed in the war, and it would naturally be prosperous.

But a hundred years later, no matter how powerful a country once was, such as the Han and Tang dynasties, which were once extremely powerful, gradually declined, and then perished, replaced by a new dynasty, and then a similar cycle of reincarnation.

It's not that the royal road is wrong, but that the royal road seems to be missing something, just like walking on one leg, people are prone to falling. Business is the other leg necessary for the development of a society.

The pursuit of profit by businessmen is not the whole of business, but only a part of it. Each of us, living in the world, has what we want to get and want to have, chasing fame, profit, greed for power, lust, etc., all of which are born with nature.

These primitive desires and desires are very normal existences, and there is no need to feel ashamed or anything else, as long as it is completely reasonable to pursue these things under the constraints of reasonable morality and the legal system.

Business Tao is to use people's pursuits to dominate people's thoughts, let people take the initiative to do things, and let people know that if they want to get more, they will pay more.

It is also a truth in the world that there is nothing to say about the reward for the effort. But imagine if you use the etiquette and reason of education to restrict and suppress people's pursuit, does it restrict the development of society and the progress of the country? ”

You Shixiong pondered Yang Huairen's words, nodded from time to time, and shook his head again, as if he understood something, and some felt that something was not right.

Yang Huairen also understood that the thoughts of later generations might be told to an ancient person, and he could not immediately understand and accept it for a while, and then accept it was something he had expected earlier, so he did not have the intention of forcibly adding his thoughts to others, it was just a bland expression.

"Thinking about this the other way around, if a relatively perfect law is formulated to limit people's non-divisive thinking, so that they can reasonably pursue what they want under the rule of law, in this process, more people will pay, and there will be more gains.

When the whole country does this from top to bottom, does that mean that the people produce more things, create more wealth, and live a better life, and the country has more taxes, and the border army has more military spending?

Everyone is actively going about life, do we still have to worry about lazy people in the people and bastards in the army? ”
