Zhuangzi believes that in terms of criminal law, it is best not to harm others, not to cause others to be disabled or embarrassed.

For example, cutting your nose? Chop your hands and feet, or whatever, and you can't put a mark on someone else's face.

How can you make others disabled and live in the future, and it is not conducive to the population of your country? There are more disabled people in your country, and you still have to feed them, don't you?

Zhuangzi's advice was to either punish him with his belongings or kill him! Treat the enemy and kill! If he has done a wrong against his own people, he shall be punished for his property. But! Keep food for others to live on. Survival comes first, if you don't let others live, others will definitely resist desperately. And for those who do not have even possessions, they shall be punished as coolies.

For burning, it can be used on slaves and captives. Brand them and prevent them from escaping.

Former slaves, as long as they were not slaves who had been slaves for generations, should be discerned and given legal status to engage in various undertakings. For those who have problems with their heads and always have trouble getting along with the masses of the people, criminals, and the like, let them become slaves. Those who refuse to accept and resist will be killed!

"What do you mean? Exclusion of dissidents? Wei Ying asked.

Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "Also! Neither is it! What does it mean to exclude dissidents? This is called the elimination of the enemy of the people! Anyone who affects the survival of others, who affects the survival of the majority of people, who only cares about their own survival and pleasure and does not care about others, should die!

Intoxicating chapter & section small. Say it's in the hey ~ smoke ~ grid

So! This is not the exclusion of dissidents, but the exclusion of public enemies! The exclusion of dissidents should be from the perspective of the individual, while the exclusion of public enemies is from the perspective of everyone, and the results of the two are different! ”

"If you do what you do, then? The princes, kings and hereditary nobles are the common enemies of the people! ”

"It's not just them, the officials below the princes and kings. They are the defenders of the royal power and the hereditary nobility, and they use the power given to them by the king to rise above the people and are the common enemies of the people. ”

"How does your theory feel like it's promoting individualism again?"

Wei Ying's face changed, and he felt that Zhuangzi was indirectly talking about him, and he was also an official under the king! He is the great good of the Qin State and an official under the Qin Xiaogong of the Qin State.

"If a country can't be managed in a unified way, then it's not waiting for the end, isn't it? Not to mention the conquest between the princes, if the Hu cavalry from the north comes, won't our Great Zhou world be finished? ”

"Wrong!"

Zhuangzi interrupted: "It's a matter of changing perceptions!" It's changed, and everything is normal. The state still needs it, officials also need it, and the hereditary aristocracy still exists, but the concept has changed! Whoever first gives the slaves a way to live, unleashes their freedom and creativity. Whoever can give the majority a way to live and unleash their freedom and creativity will have a princely kingdom that will be strong.

Of course! This is to encroach on some of the interests of the hereditary nobility and the princely royal families, and to make those who do not work for fear of them. They will lose their former superiority, and they will go to work. If you don't work, you can't eat, and the wealth and glory that their ancestors won for them just cut them off!

But? If we all think like this, as long as we get wealth and glory one day, we can enjoy it for future generations? I'm going to do that too! If we all think like that, society will be in chaos forever. Who doesn't want to make their children and grandchildren rich and glorious? Isn't it?

In fact! It's just a change of mindset!

For most people, there is still respect for princes, kings and hereditary nobles! After all! Their ancestors owe this country, and without the dedication and hard work of these people, there would be no country today! But? After all, it is the dedication and glory of the ancestors, not the eternal source of blessing for their descendants! People respect your ancestors, not their descendants. If future generations are to enjoy eternal blessings, they must also contribute!

Isn't it?

As long as the concept is changed, the family members of the princes and kings are respected by the world. And without merit to the world, blindly enjoying the blessings of the ancestors is despicable!

I'm talking about officials, but those who blindly defend the power of the king and the interests of the hereditary nobility! And not an official like you, Wei Ying, who thinks about the people, don't get me wrong! ”

Wei Ying exhaled heavily, so he didn't care about it anymore!

He thinks Zhuangzi is right, but how many people can really understand? How many people are thinking about the people who are officials in the court, and who does not think about themselves first, and then greet the princes, kings, and superior officials, so as to obtain more benefits?

In troubled times, most people are thinking about themselves, their children and grandchildren, relatives, and families, how many people are thinking about problems from the perspective of the people and dealing with others?

But! When Taoists came to preach and interpret the essence of human nature, these people stood up and pointed fingers from the perspective of managing society and serving the people.

Because! When the Taoists make the nature of human nature and the nature of society clear, these people will lose a place to eat. They lose their job and they lose their sense of superiority, and they get scared! So! When Taoists stand up and preach, these people instinctively oppose and rebel.

It is precisely for this reason that later generations summed up a sentence: learn Confucianism when you are proud of life, and think that Confucianism is the right way in the world. When you are frustrated in life, you learn Taoist thought, and think that Taoist thought is to the point, and it is the real philosophy of life.

But? Most people in later generations understood Taoist thought as "escaping from the world", rather than actively responding to the world.

Zhuangzi and Wei Ying finally talked about going together, and before they knew it, it was past the time of the last dynasty.

To be honest, at the beginning, Wei Ying really underestimated Zhuangzi. But too! Zhuangzi's first impression on him was indeed a bit second. When Zhuangzi analyzed the social situation and explained Taoist doctrine, Wei Ying did not agree with it at first, but when Zhuangzi talked about "changing concepts", he began to be convinced.

An attendant saw that Da Liangzao had been talking to Zhuangzi, and from last night to now, he had forgotten about going to the court. He didn't alarm Da Liangzao, went to the court, stood outside the main hall, and waited for Qin Xiaogong to ask something.

For officials like Da Liangzao, it is okay not to go to the court. There is no need to ask for leave or anything, there will be special attendants under his command to pass the general situation between the two. When the princes and kings needed to inquire about something, they came forward and told him that they had not come, and that his attendants were waiting outside the palace.

Really! After Qin Xiaogong went to the court, he asked about other things, and began to ask why Da Liangzao didn't come to the court. The eunuch stepped forward to spread the word that the attendants of Daliangzao were waiting outside the temple.

"Announce him in!"

The attendant beside Da Liangzao walked in quickly and knelt down at His Highness.

"What are you busy with?" Qin Xiaogong asked.

"Return to the Lord! Daliang made him to see an old man, named Zhuang Zhou! He is the inheritor of the Taoist Yang Zhu. Da Liangzao and he have been talking since last night, and they are still talking about ......"

Qin Xiaogong asked in surprise, "What?" Zhuang Zhou? The inheritor of the Taoist Yang Zhu Gaoren? ”

After asking the reason for the matter, he immediately asked the ministers what else was going on, and they had nothing to do to retreat from the court.

I heard that it was Yang Zhu's inheritance disciple, and Qin Xiaogong rushed over after retreating from the dynasty.

"Shh

Qin Xiaogong didn't let people go in to report, and quietly rushed over. At this time! Zhuangzi is talking a lot about how to govern the world. Qin Xiaogong ordered someone to bring a stool, sat outside the door, and listened with his ears sideways.

"Hmmm! Well! Well! ”

Hearing the highlights, Qin Xiaogong couldn't stop nodding and humming in his heart.
