Chapter 4: Benevolent Government? Rule of law?

Gaotao insists on ruling with benevolence, but he is strict with himself, and he is a strict father in the face of Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

Seeing Gaotao's gloomy face, Shen Tu and Yu Lei immediately stopped beating and walked meekly to Gaotao.

Gao Tao looked at the children who didn't know how to go home in the evening, and looked helpless, as soon as he got home, he was nagged by Ren Ding, the children didn't go home all day, Gao Tao was very worried and hurriedly came out to find someone, "There is no big leader in the world who is more nesty than me, and the child is gone, and he has to go out to find it himself." ”

Bi Bi saw Gao Tao coming, heard Gao Tao's words, laughed, got up and saluted: "Big chief, they are gone, there are only a few places to play, you can go out and walk less than half a cup of tea, if you don't come, let them sleep here You can also let them sleep here, they have done Lao Su a big favor today, and now it is estimated that they are very tired." ”

"Oh?" Gao Tao asked, "They are all children, how can they help?" Just don't mess around. ”

Bi Bo waved his hand, "The big leader underestimates them, these three children will not be great in the future, especially this youngest, he has many ideas and ideas, he has taught Lao Su a lot of things in one day." ”

"On the way to find them, I also heard some rumors, some people said that we Dongyi have a saint with different pupils who has appeared." Gaotao turned to the three children and said in a deep voice, "Did you cause trouble today?" ”

When Shen Tu and Yu Lei heard this, they hurriedly shook their heads.

Gao Tao looked at Yao Chonghua again, and Yao Chonghua also shook his head: "I don't know what the people I saw spread the rumors, but it's not that we are hot to cause trouble, we are doing justice." ”

"Justice?" Gao Tao carefully tasted Yao Chonghua's words, and felt that it was quite novel and appropriate.

Bi Bi told Gao Tao about what happened in the morning, and Gao Tao didn't blame them for anything, but asked Yao Chonghua: "What is to treat others in the way of others." ”

Yao Chonghua thought about it, he had never paid attention to the explanation of "treating others the way of others" in the Xinhua dictionary, and he had been exposed to it since he was a child, and he could experience it himself without words, "It is how others treat you, and you will treat him how you treat him." ”

Gao Tao pondered, this is often contradictory to his current concept of governance, "the world is barbaric, there are few tribes who can be treated kindly, and there are many armed struggles, once a war breaks out, it can make the entire tribe almost extinct, and the population does not know how to restore the original number, if the implementation of benevolence and virtue, then the conflict will not be reduced?" ”

"The world is so big, how can everything be treated equally? People's hearts are always biased, and they should be treated according to the situation. ”

Yao Chonghua's words seemed to give Gaotao an important outlet, so he wanted to continue to ask Yao Chonghua, but Bi Bo saw that it was dark, so he invited everyone to the hall, lit torches, and gave each person a glass of water and steamed cakes, so that everyone could talk slowly.

The disciples on the left and right sides of the hall let them disperse, and Bi Bo always felt that the next conversation between the big leader and Yao Chonghua was very important, and let his disciples listen more, maybe they could also teach them more truths and ways of behaving in the world.

The current master only uses his years of experience to teach people the craft, but the ideology is still on the way of exploration, and those sages who have attained the Tao understand better, once people's thinking changes for the better, it will affect their life, or positive and enterprising, or decadent, it depends on whether their character and thinking are correct.

Gao Tao did not stick to the small sections, and as soon as he sat down and took a sip of water, he asked Yao Chonghua: "How should I treat it according to the situation?" Do you have to go back and curse him when someone insults you? ”

Yao Chonghua felt that if you wanted to scold back, it was okay, but this was not conducive to the stability of the regime, Gaotao considered not only himself, but also the people he managed, "It is right to treat people with benevolence and virtue, there is no need to fight to the death, it is better to be able to harmoniously interact with each other, but some people are not willing to live in harmony, of course, they cannot be allowed to infringe on their own interests." ”

"Yes!" Gao Tao agreed, and began to reflect on his implementation of benevolence during the period, although he was very good to everyone, but the tribal conflict, the contradictions of the people did not decrease, but increased, and easily let go of the scoundrels, making the victims indignant and retaliating in private, resulting in more chaotic order.

"How?"

"How can you repay virtue with virtue? You can't let honest people suffer, and you can't let villains get away with it. We should try our best to improve the rule of law, clarify rewards and punishments, and warn people what they can and can't do, so that the benevolent can rest assured and the villains are in awe. ”

"The rule of law? Can the rule of law allow people to live and work in peace and contentment?! ”

"Yes, regulate the words and deeds of the people, so that the people have taboos and references before acting, they understand the harm of breaking the law, and they will not do illegal things recklessly."

"Well, I'll do it." Gao Tao stood up and patted Yao Chonghua's thin shoulder, Yao Chonghua's statecraft from later generations that has been verified by emperors for thousands of years has been extremely recognized by Gao Tao, he feels a little ashamed to steal other people's remarks as his own opinion, but at this time, it is not to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they can record the sage's remarks on the bamboo slips, but now although the text has appeared, it can not simply record such complex thoughts.

At this time, Bi Bo interjected: "Even if the code can be made, the people are illiterate, and the only people who can read it are the nobles, but the law does not have much constraints on the nobles." ”

Yao Chonghua said that this is not in a hurry, "Literate officials can be sent to read it, and the implementation of the law should also be tried on a small scale, depending on the degree of acceptance of the people, whether to implement it on a large scale, and then to the various tribes, this is a gradual process, the kind of aristocracy this morning should be the most used as a test subject."

Hearing this, Yu Lei finally felt that he could interject, "Yes, it's that nobleman, let's test him first." ”

At this time, Gao Tao also thought, "Who is the young nobleman who was said to be rampant on the street for a day?" ”

Shen Tu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

In the entire Dragon Mountain, nobles of all sizes will come to meet the big chief, and the children of the nobles basically know some, but Shen Tu has never seen that young man. "It is estimated that the nobles from the outside fell and came to Longshan to play."

Gao Tao nodded, ignoring the aristocratic boy.

"Chonghua Xiaotong, although you are young, you are reasonable, but you are the Tao, I don't know where the teacher is?" Gao Tao finally asked his own question.

Bi Bo also took the opportunity to ask: "And how do you know the method of making a water tank?" This is a method that Bi Bo has thought about for decades and never expected, and it is too surprising and unexpected for a child to complete the prototype in less than an afternoon.

Listening to the questions of the two elders, Yao Chonghua didn't know how to answer it, what he said was that these are thousands of years, people from generation to generation summed up experience, future generations of people do not have to deliberately learn, the whole social environment can be understood inadvertently, but standing on the shoulders of giants, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

Everyone saw Yao Chonghua's silence, guessing that he didn't want to reveal his master, in his opinion, Yao Chonghua is just a child, it is impossible to understand so many great truths that can make people think carefully about their lives, the world is big, there will indeed be some capable people with extraordinary skills but do not want to reveal their names, presumably Yao Chonghua should be a disciple of a master of the gods, such a person can not be despised even if he is a child, and he has obtained the true inheritance of the saint, and he will definitely have a great achievement in the future.

Gao Tao didn't force Yao Chonghua to answer, and hurriedly changed the topic: "What water tank?" What's that? ”

Bi Bi heard Gao Tao's question, and commanded the six disciples to carry the water tank model into the hall, and explained to Gao Tao: "This is what Chonghua Xiaotong came up with this afternoon, if this water tank is completed, then the problem of water storage will be solved." ”

Gao Tao looked at this huge barrel model, his eyes widened and he was amazed, Bi Yu was very satisfied with Gao Tao's reaction, and Jiu Yi also smiled: "Today we were also surprised when we heard Chonghua say, and we really felt that we were dreaming." ”

"This is really a bold idea, why didn't we think of it before?!" Dongyi's pottery technology is better than Huaxia and Sanmiao, Huaxia people can't make pottery, but because they don't interact with Dongyi, so they have been coveting Dongyi's ceramics for a long time, with Tang Yao's governance of the country, the people's lives are getting better, there are some businessmen who secretly went over the mountains and mountains to Dongyi to change pottery, but unfortunately not a lot, had to go to Sanmiao, spend a lot of effort to trade with Sanmiao to trade the pottery exchanged by Sanmiao from Dongyi, so that Gaotao's heart is happy, good pottery is the pride of the whole Dongyi, and how can he, the big leader, not it, It's a pity that he didn't expect Yao Chonghua's method of making large pieces of pottery from wooden boards.

"Yes, Lao Su has thought about it for most of his life, but it's a pity that it's an elm head." Bi Bo witnessed the whole process and was naturally convinced. "There is a lot of clay used in this large tank, and it is estimated that it will take three or four days to demold."

Gao Tao nodded, and solemnly saluted Bi Bo: "Then there is Lao Bi Bo, I am busy with post-disaster work these days, and I don't think I have much time." ”

Bi Bo replied: "Don't worry, big leader, this is just over to Lao Suo." ”

"Now it's getting late, Gaotao took a few children back, and Lao Bi said goodbye." Gao Tao motioned to a few children: "Say goodbye to Lao Bibo." ”

Yao Chonghua followed Shen Tu and Yu Lei to say goodbye to Bi, but he didn't expect that at this time, etiquette had been taken seriously, probably because the sacrificial activity was very popular in this era.

On the way home, Gao Tao held Yao Chonghua in one hand, Shen Di and Yu Lei followed beside him, and one of them held a torch in his hand for lighting.

Shen Tu and Yu Lei like this little brother they just met, they are very well-behaved when they don't speak, but they are not temperamental, and they dare to fight with people who are older than him, they are unhurried when they speak, they can be plain and easy, and they can also be aggressive, when he fights against that bad nobleman, it really makes them feel happy, but they should not let go of the big villain.

Yu Lei is not as steady as Shen Di, and his love for Yao Chonghua is also overflowing, "Ah Hua, you have such a powerful brain, your father and Lao Bi praise you, and even Jiu Yi They admire you very much." ”

Shen Di also agreed with Yu Lei's words, "Yes, in the past, Jiu Yi thought that we would only get in the way in the kiln, but today he didn't say a single thing. ”

"And you are not afraid of the powerful, and it looks good to maintain the old man."

"I will be like you in the future, not only to protect the old man, but also to protect the good people of the world, and kill all the evil gods and murders."

Gao Tao listened to his two words, laughed happily, and patted the heads of the two little guys, "Sure enough, it's close to Zhu Zhechi, you two didn't have such great ambitions before, so you will learn more from Chonghua Xiaotong in the future, and be your father's right-hand man in the future, okay?" ”

Shen Tu and Yu Lei didn't think about it so much, it was naturally good to be able to help their father, so they nodded happily, but later, this sentence really came true, and they really became a rare talent around Gaotao, maintaining the justice of the world and making future generations admire.
