The foolish school to which Mingyangzi belongs said that the division of labor in the profession of heaven is the will of heaven, and the will of heaven will let you serve the people for the rest of your life, and you can only be a farmer in this life, facing the loess with your back to the sky. If providence makes you rich and prosperous for the rest of your life, you can do whatever you want.

In the current lack of social division of labor, Mingyangzi hypothesis of the way of heaven to prove the existence of the division of labor does have its inevitable public opinion base and market.

In other words, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid it is difficult to refute Ming Yangzi's fallacies and heresies, but Bai Liyan is a human being, of course, it is impossible to agree with Ming Yangzi's nonsense, he said:

"The foundation of the people's country, Mingyang Gong said that all the people in the world are destined by Heaven, and Mingyang Gong worked in the fields in his early years, which must also be the destiny of Heaven.

Since Mingyang Gong also served the people, why is he preaching here today, saying that those who are not for the people and those who are for the Tao should do one thing for the rest of their lives as the public said.

Even so, all of you here also came from poor families, and their parents were farmers, but now they also know a basket of big characters, and the purpose of discussing state affairs here is nothing more than to cling to the powerful and seek a place to get ahead. If the Mandate of Heaven is determined, how many of you present will be able to join the shogunate and serve the princes. ”

"Shuzi, you, cough cough ......"

Mingyangzi's face was red-eared and red-hearted, and he didn't come out of you for a long time, and the crutches kept poking at the floor, thinking that he was also heartbroken and couldn't say why, so he could only be in a hurry.

Not long after Bailiyan's words fell, the scene suddenly exploded.

Some people say that he is arrogant, and many think it makes sense, and many more have not thought about it yet, and have completely forgotten about today's topic.

At this time, Mingyangzi's right hand side of the Chengdao Sect Uncle Guang also stood up, pressed his hand to everyone and signaled to be quiet:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that what Wei Lang of Yicaotang said does have some truth. But you can't generalize, and you can't see Mount Tai without seeing it.

It is true that the world has the power of all the people, but if there is no king in the world, how can the world be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time. The old man thinks that the world is the world of all people, and all the people are also the people of the king. ”

The Chengdao faction represented by Uncle Guang is more like a royalist, in their eyes, the princes and kings are the rulers, and the common people are just individuals attached to the rulers, without the rulers, the common people have no way to live.

What he said is not completely unreasonable, at a time when there is far from universal education, the common people do not know a single word, and suddenly the dragons are leaderless, and the result is bound to be chaos in the world.

The reason for this is not the congenital defects of the monarch's desire for power and system, as well as the defects of the social system caused by the illiteracy of the broad masses of the people.

In particular, those in power have mastered privileges, and the feudal Zen brought by privileges has enveloped a large number of powerful clan groups, forming a pyramid-like social power structure. In the final analysis, it is still a difference in the social division of labor.

It's just that the Chengdao faction takes the king as the theoretical core, while the foolish faction takes the mandate of heaven as the theoretical basis, and although the two have different intentions on the theory of professional division of labor, they have similar positions.

At this time, the eloquent faction led by Changlingzi objected, saying:

"Uncle Guang said, the old man did not dare to agree. Throughout today's world, the world is complicated, and the princes and nations are all self-reliant and humiliated. If the king does not know how to be strong, the people will be weak, and if the people are weak, the country will perish. The so-called world is full of people, and the mandate of heaven has its own fixed number, as seen by the old man, but it is just a humble opinion, which is not enough. ”

"What the master said, the younger generation is ashamed of himself." Bow your head and bow your head.

He is a protégé of Gongsun Yue, and naturally believes in the Xionglun Taoist school, and Changlingzi is also a Xionglun Dao master, and Gong Shouqian should be his horse leader.

Without waiting for everyone to think about and digest, at this time, Uncle Guang said again:

"Changling Gong, this is a big deal. The old man does not dare to speak falsely about the things of heaven, but if it is as the public says, all the people in the world are kings, and if the king is not strong, the people will be weak and the country will die. Dare to ask the Duke of Changling, today is still the world of the Liang Dynasty, and the princes are still the princes of the Liang Dynasty. If the Son of Heaven is weak, why should the world respect the Son of Heaven, and ask the Duke of Changling for advice. ”

Uncle Guang is cunning and abnormal, according to Changlingzi, the world is the king's world, not the world of all people, and the subjects are the king's subjects, not the subjects of all the people in the world. If the king is weak and can be bullied, he will perish because the king is incompetent and wears the people to death.

Nowadays, the Liang Dynasty has existed in name only, and only the Liang State is left to settle in the land of the Central Plains. But hundreds of years have passed, and there has not been a prince king who destroyed the Liang Kingdom. If this is used as an argument, Changlingzi's rhetoric is unreliable.

Of course, the princes did not destroy the political considerations of the princes and kings of the Liang State, and the Liang State still claimed that the Son of Heaven stood in the Central Plains, and the title was still one head higher than that of the princes and kings. If anyone destroys the Liang Dynasty first, it will be tantamount to usurping power and seizing the throne to change the dynasty, and overriding the Central Plains with the Son of Heaven.

Uncle Guang now takes Liang Guo as an example to refute Changlingzi's domineering theory, but it is also tenable.

The "three elders" opened their mouths to debate almost at the same time, and everyone in the hall was divided into multiple factions for a while, and Gao Xun approached in private and said:

"Brother Wei Xian's discussion is very incisive, why didn't I see Brother Xian come here to discuss it before."

Bai Liyan waved her hand, her face helpless:

"Senior brother, look at everyone present, have you ever paid a penny of tax to the treasury."

"What do you mean?"

Gao Xun was puzzled, Bai Liyan pretended to be a positive color, and her voice was put very low, for fear of being heard by others:

"The people at the scene did not pay a penny of taxes, did not need to bear the burden of conscription, and did not even shed blood for the country, but here all day long to eat and drink salty rice grain, according to what you can see, a cadre of people is no different from a full of wine bags and rice bags."

"Oh...... I see......"

Baili Yan is a human being, and the perspective of tax payment is far beyond the knowledge of today's people.

But those who talk about the state politics in the council hall are not all of them, but seventy or eighty percent of them have neither work nor income, nor have they shed blood as soldiers, and they do not need to serve as laborers, just because they are literate and can enjoy the privileges and care of the current society.

is such a group of people who can hardly create value for the country, Bai Liyan and Gao Xun privately call them sour and rotten literati.

They can't create value for the country, but they eat and live in the Yixian Hall every day for free accommodation, and some even have no grassroots work experience, but if they rely on their own three-inch tongue, they can win the reuse of high-ranking officials and nobles, especially Xiangguo Gongsun Yue as a typical example, which also set a very bad example for the Xianguo gentry class.

As long as he believes that he has some talents, he dares to discuss national politics in the Yixian Pavilion, and even does not hesitate to vote for the favor of the powerful, and say some beautiful words of high-sounding flattery, such as Lu Mo and others, who have no pragmatic achievements, but can be reused by high-ranking officials.

Most of the new "Pushing Business Tax" is led by sour and stupid people like Gongsun Yue, and the bullshit policy of organizing disciples and grandchildren is not so much about benefiting the country and the people, but rather about bringing disaster to the country and the people.

Now that the new policy is being implemented in the name of cracking down on profiteers and unscrupulous criminals, it is the elite class who are really speculative and maliciously raising prices, and shifting the responsibility to legitimate businessmen, and Gongsun Yue's motives are becoming more and more intriguing.

In the evening, when it was dark, with the sound of a gong, today's discussion ended here, and tomorrow it will continue to be presided over by Gong Shouqian, and the theme is still the new policy "Promoting Business Tax".

Before leaving the Yixian Pavilion, a young man called Bailiyan from behind:

"Excuse me, sir, it's Wei Langzhong of Yicaotang."

"It's here, I don't know what your master has to say."

"Uncle Guang ordered the boy to bring a message to Your Excellency, and I will talk about it tonight, I don't know if Wei Langzhong can go."

Chengdao sent Uncle Guang to invite, Bai Liyan was really surprised, he glanced at Gao Xun and said:

"Brother Gao has always admired the Chengdao faction, Uncle Guang is the master of the Chengdao faction, and it is tantamount to worshiping the Chengdao sect under the sect, I think this invitation is still Brother Gao, you go."

Gao Xun shirked and said:

"How is this matter, the master is invited, and the virtuous brother should go in person, how can he order him to work for him."

"Eh, I don't agree with the Chengdao faction, I'm afraid it's difficult to negotiate with Uncle Guang. I think it's okay for Brother Gao to go. ”

"That being the case, it is better for Gao to be respectful than to obey his fate."

Gao Xun admires the Taoist sect of sincerity, saying that if he doesn't go, most of them can't get by on his face.

After explaining to the young man, Gao Xun returned to the Yixian Pavilion again and went to Uncle Guang's accommodation.

Bai Liyan took his horse back and was about to turn over the saddle when a voice stopped him from behind:

"Wei Lang is slow and slow."

The voice was very familiar, and when he looked back, he saw the young man in white who was warping and humble.

The young man has a lofty bearing, with a faint sharpness in his gestures, and there are sword guards on the left and right around him, and he is wearing a cotton shirt, which looks very amazing. Although the young man was dressed in cloth, the two guards were very illustrative at this time.

Nowadays, only the elite class can match such a fierce guardian, and even Zhao Xun does not protect the guard. Based on what young people are saying today, can dare to argue against the new national policy, Bai Liyan can't think of anyone in the capital for a while, who is not in the past with Xiangguo Gongsun Yue.

He fixed his mind, bowed to a little and said:

"Contemptible Yicaotang Wei Xian, I don't know Your Excellency's honorific title."

The young man's gaze was intent, and an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Your Excellency only needs to know that your surname is Lan."

"Oh, it turned out to be Lan Gongzi, I don't know what Lan Gongzi has to say."

"I don't dare to give advice. I have heard that what you said today is very incisive, and I wonder what you think of the new policy of "Pushing Business Tax". ”

"Lan Gongzi has an overreputation, and I think it is not beneficial to talk more now, it is better to wait for a year and a half, and the disadvantages of the new deal will definitely be revealed."

"Oh, why is Wei Langzhong so sure." Childe Lan took a step closer, and the smile on her face was unpredictable.

"At that time, people were illiterate nine times out of ten, and very few people knew about the disadvantages of the new policy, even if you and I understood the stakes, I was afraid that the world would make fun of you and me for being ignorant."

Although Brother Wei's words are true, when the shortcomings of the new policy are revealed, the people have been deeply affected. Brother Wei thinks that how to deal with the disadvantages of the new deal. ”

"Well...... this"

Bai Liyan suddenly realized that the Lan Gongzi in front of him was probably not a good bird, he knew that the new policy implemented by Gongsun Yue had drawbacks, and in turn he asked himself, and now he proposed a way to solve the drawbacks, obviously with impure motives. Thinking of this, he said politely:

"Under the stupidity, I am afraid that the new deal is inadequate. There are still trivial matters at home, so I will leave here. ”

Turning over the horse, Baili Yan rode away. Lan Gongzi looked at the back in the distance, and the thirty-five or sixteen dart guard beside him asked in a thick voice:

"Childe, this person's words are exaggerated and false, and he doesn't seem to have real talent and learning, why does Childe want to recruit him."

"Uncle Xu, this person helped Zhao Xun defeat the Jin army many times back then, if it weren't for Ding Yang Hou's stubbornness, Xian Guoyan would have today's defeat. 's father wanted to recruit Zhao Xun, so he had to take it for his own use. ”

"But after all, he is a Qi person, if he has a bad intention, what should he do?"

Lan Gongzi smiled faintly, as if he didn't think so, and then continued to wander around the market, completely forgetting all the unpleasant things of today.
