Gan Tang: "I'm just making an analogy, don't blame the brothers." In this, among the five of you. Brother Shi Zui's grades are the worst, but his personality is the most out-of-the-box, and he has a good relationship with people, so I let him become an official. Brother Li is the most thoughtful and flexible, so I let him learn the way of doing business, and after he finishes learning, let him become the shopkeeper. Brother Lu is the most smart and clever, and he can often raise one back to three when he encounters problems, so I will let him learn Luban, Mozi's learning, and after he finishes learning, I will let him become a craftsman. Leng Xin's brother Kong Wu is powerful, proficient in martial arts, and has the ambition of his ancestors, so I will let him study military affairs, and after completing his studies, I will let him raise troops for the Northern Expedition and restore the territory of the old country. Brother Peng Mingzhi Peng, he has studied Lisu a lot, so I asked him to learn to farm, and after completing his studies, I could give him a thousand hectares of fertile land and let him cultivate alone. ”

Shi Zui smiled: "I'm afraid that what the little brother thinks is a bit ridiculous, why can I be an official even though I have the worst grades?" ”

"What if the world thinks that the status of an official is inferior to that of the other four?"

"Ahh

"What?"

"How is that possible!"

"This ------?"

Gan Tang said with a smile: "If you do Qipinzhi County, you will need to kneel down when you meet the other four people on the road." After three years, he made remarkable achievements in governing the place, and he was promoted to Liupin Zhizhou, and he met four people again on the road, only Peng Mingzhi and Brother Peng need to bow to you, and you must bow to the other three. In another three years, you have achieved the five-grade prefect, and you meet four people, Brother Peng and Brother Li, who bow down to you, and you must bow down to Brother Lu and Brother Leng. Twenty years later, you finally achieved a good grade of Zaifu, met four people, and three of them bowed to you, but you still have to bow down to Brother Lu, who is a craftsman. In this way, do the people of the world still think that being an official is the best choice? ”

For a while, everyone showed an unacceptable expression, and Peng Mingzhi said suspiciously: "Just now I heard Gongzi say, give me a thousand hectares of land, and let me cultivate it alone." If I were to cultivate alone, how could I cultivate so much land? If I were to use a large number of long-term laborers and tenants, would I not go back to the old ways, so that I would be rich and many poor? ”

Gan Tang smiled: "Just you, you can cultivate a thousand hectares of land, or even more." As for how much Brother Peng can cultivate, it depends on Brother Leng. In ancient times, people used stone tools to cultivate, to the Zhou people used bronze tools to cultivate, to the Qin and Han dynasties people used iron tools, and to the late Han Dynasty people used cattle to plough cattle. The area of land cultivated by individuals is getting bigger and bigger. Why is that? ”

"Since the Jin Dynasty, people's cultivation area has been relatively fixed, why is this? Since the Han Dynasty, craftsmen have always been as cheap as prostitutes, and if a country elevates the status of craftsmen to a higher level than that of officials, you can cultivate more than 1,000 hectares of land by yourself in 200 years. ”

"I talk about this, it's not completely unachievable, the 10,000 students outside the door are all squeezed over from hundreds of thousands of people in Daxia, why do you say squeezed, compared to hundreds of thousands of students in Daxia, they are lucky and unlucky, talking about luck is to be able to win from a single-plank bridge walked by millions of people. Unfortunately, perhaps most people were not suitable for being officials at the beginning, but under the current system, they can only choose to be officials, and being an official is their only way out. It's not that some people can't be, but they don't fit to be. Most of their personalities are honest and honest, or something else. It is difficult to be an official, and the way of an official is to judge the situation and interact with people is the most important. If you add the ability and ambition, you can be a capable and good official. Only a small number of them know how to advance and retreat, have the ability to aspire, have the ability to weigh and discern, and can be good officials, but the vast majority of them are not. These things are not simple. ”

Gan Tang shook his head: "Enrich the people, strengthen the soldiers, and the next thing is to take the soldiers." In fact, the way of taking scholars can be solved by dedicated personnel, so why can't we open some professional schools? Where there is no need to treasure the broom, you can arrange people to learn carpentry, arrange people to learn iron smelting, arrange people to learn cooks, arrange people to learn management, that is, to be a shopkeeper. The most important thing is that people can be arranged to learn military strategy, water conservancy, and mining ....... ”

Everyone was obviously puzzled and didn't recognize it very much

With this Shi drunk, he said, "If there are people who can afford to read, who wants to learn this?" ”

"This is the problem, how good it is to be an official, those who have the opportunity to study are rushing to become officials. There is a thousand bells in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, but ...... Why is there so much redundancy today? In ancient times, only a small group of people had the opportunity to read, and there were not many literate people, and if knowledge was to be passed on, the country needed them to govern. ”

"It is easy to get a gentleman, and therefore it is only found in the highest group, because there is not much in itself." Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and continue to learn for the saints, "open peace for all generations, it's too busy......"

"But now? For thousands of years, things in the world have been developing, for example, there are many things waiting to be done in the world. There is one thing that is most important, and we do this one first. So I have been advocating. But now! Ladies and gentlemen, there are already more people doing this, and I don't mean Confucianism, but officials. Why can't we separate some to do something else? After reading the book, they will think about things, and now that the flood has reached such a point, if there is someone to study water conservancy and sort out a set of theories. Later generations will continue to study and research, if these people do not study others, they will specialize in water conservancy, and Confucianism should only be self-cultivation. Will the annual floods continue to be like this today? ”

For example, in the past, weaving, mothers taught their daughters, those peasant women got a machine at home to weave slowly, some were fast and some were slow, the quality was uneven, now there are workshops in the cloth shop, and female workers are hired to work in it, and some people teach them how to use the machine, what tricks can be faster, and there are also people who are thinking about how to transform the loom. One person can play the role of several people before, the quality is unified, and the efficiency is multiplied several times. If the efficiency of everything can be increased several times, what will the current Great Xia look like? Isn't it easy to strengthen soldiers? ”

"Of course, the difficulties are so big that you can't imagine it, you say that there are too many Confucian students, and if you want me to say that there are still too few people who can read in this Great Xia."

"If you can really say to the world that the three hundred and sixty lines are the champion, no matter which line of champions can be given the same status and reputation, so that the professional counterpart, the special person, and the three hundred and sixty lines go hand in hand, then there are too few readers."

"As you said, those who can afford to go to school in the family will not learn the knowledge of these merchants and craftsmen, and Confucianism will not do such things as letting go of their status. However, since it is already saturated, it is more. If this Great Xia really wants to take a step forward, maybe he can only consider going from here. For example, gradually shaping public opinion, first do urgent projects such as military strategy and water conservancy, resist external pressure, ensure people's livelihood, and then consider other specialties when everyone is less miserable and more people can study. This is not like those dull strategies for strengthening soldiers, as soon as their status comes up, there will naturally be people who understand to think and do. Now that everything else has no status, of course, everyone can only study and ....... ”

The room was quiet inside and outside, and Shi Zui and the others all bowed their heads and thought bitterly.

"Confucianism is a very great system, in addition to self-cultivation, it is also the study of managing people and weighing the relationship between people. Hundreds of thousands of students, so many officials, and tens of millions of people across the country are all under its weighing and control. ”

"Especially in our dynasty, redundancy and redundancy have obviously exceeded, the impact of various doctrines of Buddhism and Taoism, and the rules of the game that it has come up with after a slight change, not only allow the interests of these many officials to be balanced, but also continue to grow, so that many students have rushed to this one after another, ten years of hard work, once famous and known to the world, almost perfect trade-off......"

He took a deep breath of tea: "I admire this kind of learning, whether it is merit or demerit, and it can be called art to record the things that some people have lived in a certain form in a certain place."

"Confucianism is definitely one of the greatest and most exquisite of all the arts of all time, so great

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

One land, so many people. Uniting them in such an extreme and harmonious way under one rule of the game, thousands of years of wisdom are the mountains that look up to ......"

He raised his glass and invited everyone: "It's the right time, everyone, and taste it." ”

The fragrance of tea has actually faded, Lu Mengxiong was still thinking about it, Shi Zui stood up at this time, took two steps back, and bowed deeply, Gan Tang had no choice but to stand up.

"What Mr. said, I haven't figured out a lot yet, but only in terms of what I've figured out, it's far better than the world, I don't know if Mr. has a big name, can he accept a disciple as a teacher, and he should be worshiped by me."

Gan Tang returned the salute, and then smiled; "Why do you have to know each other. If it weren't for the fact that this dynasty doesn't punish crimes with words, you and I are insignificant at this time, and we don't dare to tell you this, and just make small talk. ”

"As for the things of master and apprentice, you don't have to do it deliberately, but if you do it, it will flow to the lower level."

"Several of you are all top figures in Taixue, and I hope to think through these things before influencing others, which is a huge project. It's not something that one or a few people can do, it takes time to precipitate and ferment. ”

"You can't be in a hurry, something will happen if you're in a hurry, maybe you need to spend your whole life and not necessarily see the effect, I hope you here have a preparation in your heart......"

Some thoughts he said, but more he didn't.

To make up for the flaws and loopholes in the system of government in front of us is almost a dream.

Of course, if he purely talks about the problems he faces, he has naturally thought about it, such as business, business is not a short board that urgently needs to be developed in Daxia, it is already a long board, and it is longer than anyone else.

In terms of the concept of balanced development, many of the remaining systems can no longer keep up with the development of commerce, and even if they can taste the sweetness of developing commerce, it is still a deformity, and for a country, this deformity is really too dangerous.

Confucianism has reached the point where it is saturated and overflowing, and if it is really possible to actively move forward, refining the division of labor is also a good direction.

On the one hand, it is reasonable to divert the overflow of educational capacity, and on the other hand, it is necessary to welcome the possible industrial revolution in the future.

Of course, it looks beautiful, but the problem is, it's just a joke.

The reason for all this lies in Confucianism.

Gan Tang said that he worships Confucianism, which is not some flattery or reverse, this is a mountain from the heart.

Judging from some experience in later generations, we can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of various management disciplines, a company has thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, he can improve the system, manage people well, everyone does it according to the system, and the cycle is established, everything is fine, but life is not so simple, and a country is by no means so superficial.

Confucianism is not a Confucian and Mencian pedantic and useless knowledge.

The Analects of Confucius only teach people the principles of cultivating their minds and cultivating their nature, and some laws of life. Later rulers found the key in such laws, and found ways to make rules, use and guide them.

Then improve and supplement from generation to generation, and if there is a problem, modify and fine-tune to find a way to compromise.

For thousands of years, the top figures of every dynasty have devoted themselves to the perfection of this governing philosophy, like a great wave of sand......

After stripping away the superficially seemingly mild and pedantic skin, this is a truly down-to-earth system of governance.

In modern management philosophy, for example, a company can cultivate a company culture and make people feel a sense of belonging, which is almost the ultimate goal.

If modern management is a set of eight-digit computer programs, Confucianism is a complete set of gene tree diagrams.

It governs the hearts of tens of millions of people, and people don't feel it at all, people just take it for granted.
