Chapter IV: Ways to Change the Law
Teach the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since thousands of years ago, during the period of Confucius and Mencius, the ideals that began to be advocated are also the lifelong beliefs and pursuits of countless sages and sages. But this grand cause, which has not been realized for thousands of years, is said lightly from the mouth of Wen, and it is described as 'that's'.
The reality is that the literacy rate of the whole society is not even 1 in 1,000.
There are more than 160 households in Guanlou Village, and more than 700 people are all illiterate, and there are few villagers who can write their names correctly.
What made Tan Fengyi feel most depressed was that when she heard such irresponsible words, she actually told her in her heart that she believed it.
In order not to reveal this emotion in her heart, she forcibly gathered her mind and hummed: "Now that even the Wenhua Academy you opened is closed, what are you talking about teaching the world." ”
Wen said helplessly: "The decree implemented by the dynasty now has too many drawbacks, the nobles can only run a clan school, if you run an academy, it is to win people's hearts, and it is no different from rebellion." I teach whoever I teach to run a clan study, I am the only one in the whole clan. ”
"Then you're still so ashamed." Tan Fengyi felt that the confidence she had just generated was simply ridiculous.
Wen sighed and said: "If you want to teach the world, the foundation is very important, not something that can be done by opening one more academy." ”
"Basics?" Tan Fengyi wondered.
"Yes, anything that wants to develop must have a foundation, this is dialectical materialism, if you want to teach the world, it is useless to coerce, you must take the initiative of the people to pursue, and the premise is to have a foundation, this foundation is that the people want to be rich." Wen explained: "Only when the people are rich will human instinct prompt them to take the initiative to seek power, and knowledge is also a kind of power." ”
When the people are about to run out of food, what kind of knowledge to talk about is a castle in the air.
Only when the people are rich will they take the initiative to pursue spiritual enjoyment.
In later generations of China, piracy copycats were rampant, and the biggest reason was that the lives of the people were not rich enough to a certain extent. Who doesn't want to use a genuine Apple phone, drive a luxury car, drink fine wine, read their favorite books, and enjoy life.
But the reality is that the people have a busy day, and the income they get is barely enough to eat and dress at most.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to achieve any act of advocating authenticity.
Tan Fengyi's white and tender face showed a surprised expression and said, "You want to change the law?" ”
Speaking of changing the law, there is nothing surprising about this, in ancient times, there were many people with lofty ideals who tried to achieve various goals through changing the law.
Hearing Tan Fengyi's question, he coughed in surprise and said in surprise: "When did I say that I was going to change the law." "Tan Fengyi, the demon girl, came to the conclusion that she wanted to change the law from that sentence, didn't she know that changing the law was tantamount to looking for death!
"If you don't change the law, how can you change the status quo, what you say and do already has a tendency to change the law, as long as you improve the content and report it to the court, maybe it can be realized." Tan Fengyi analyzed.
Wen breathed a breath and said: "Feng Yi, I have to think about it so that I have the idea of changing the law, do you think I look like the kind of great person who can take on this kind of responsibility?" ”
"You're still young, and you have a lot of time to gradually refine the content of the change." Tan Fengyi said with a look on my face.
Encourage yourself to change the law, this demon girl must not have any good intentions, this kind of resolutely can't be on! Wen snorted: "You can pull it down, I don't think about it so much, since ancient times, few of those who have advocated changing the law have achieved a good death, and I don't want to go to the retreat of those ancestors." ”
"Then what else do you mention to teach the world?" Tan Fengyi sneered.
"Teaching the world, who said that you have to change the law to achieve it. Fengyi, you have to understand that proposing to change the law is the most unreliable thing, and it is better to actively seek change than to passively seek change. Wen said mysteriously.
Those who take the lead in proposing changes often touch the interests of many strata and are all powerful, so the power of obstruction will increase exponentially. In the end, even if the change is successful, he will be killed as a scapegoat.
What's more, throughout the ages, there have been too few examples of successful changes in the end, and the probability of success in the usurpation of the dynasty is even lower.
Tan Fengyi naturally knew that changing the law was a very dangerous thing, and success was as miserable as failure, but she still had a burst of contempt for Wen's courage: "If you are afraid of death, just say it." ”
"Of course I am afraid of death, if I die, the people will suffer a lot of sin, only if I live, they can get a better future to the maximum." Wen said as a matter of course.
Before he could teach his skills, he was unjustly killed, which was really a big loss. As long as some common-sense knowledge in later generations is disseminated, the people of today will benefit immensely. The megalomaniac who has nothing to do will pick the tiger's tail when he is full.
Tan Fengyi was already immune to Wen Wen's consistent shameless behavior, but she still couldn't help but sneer: "In this way, the people will worship you like a bodhisattva." ”
Ignoring Tan Fengyi's sarcasm, he said earnestly: "Why do you always want to do things in a hurry, and you want to realize the ideal that can only be realized in a thousand years, and you can't wait to complete it in one day."
As long as we are on the right path, it will always be achieved. Sometimes the resistance of the upper layer is too great, starting from the lower level, and finally forcing the upper layer to adjust, this is also a way, don't always think about eating a big fat man. ”
For the ancients' strength to do not do it, and to do it and want to complete it instantly, I am really speechless. If you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, and if you hit the south wall, you won't look back, and you will continue to hit the momentum, which is really unacceptable.
In the Song Dynasty, there were many people who proposed to change the law, Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan were the most outstanding representatives. But these ancient people with lofty ideals took it for granted, and they didn't know that what was good might not necessarily be implemented.
It is not uncommon for bad money to drive out good money.
Moreover, the changes they themselves proposed have too many limitations. Some of them are decided at all with a pat on the buttocks, and there is no verification process, and they are considered feasible just by virtue of brain supplements and enthusiasm.
In the end, it is not the innocent people who pay the price and bear the loss.
"You're always justified." Tan Fengyi snorted.
Mei Yiqi smiled and sat quietly listening to the two people arguing, but her slender white fingers kept entanglement with each other in the sleeves of her robe. There was a little melancholy in her heart, this knowledge was too profound for her, even if she had her grandfather's love, as a woman, she was only allowed to learn some simple knowledge with her cousins.
Seeing Tan Fengyi and Wen talking eloquently, and the content of the conversation between each other does not need to be explained very clearly, they can instantly understand the meaning of each other's words, and they are envious in their hearts.
This kind of tacit understanding made Mei Yiqi a little sad and a little ashamed.
In the past, she was a well-known talented woman in Yanshen County, and she was praised by everyone, and she also thought that her knowledge was not weaker than that of men, and even when she taught students to study in Wenhua Academy, she was the happiest and most confident.
But since leaving Yanshen County, in the face of an unfamiliar environment, I thought I would be able to deal with it easily, but now I don't know what I should do except bring small flowers every day.
This made Mei Yiqi's heart very lost for a while, and when she heard these heavenly knowledge, she knew that she had heard every word clearly, but she just couldn't understand the meaning.
I don't know how to resolve the bitterness in my heart.
Grandfather let himself follow Wen to leave Yanshen County, and the meaning was self-evident.
If Brother Wen Shi is his beloved, how can the huge gap between the two be bridged, maybe only a woman like Sister Fengyi is the ultimate good match for Brother Wen Shi.
