Chapter 252: New Linqing (2)
Liu Zheng's words can be said to go straight to the essence, so that Li Tingji had to look at Liu Zheng with admiration, and for the first time in his heart, he had the idea of communicating with Liu Zheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the records of the history of the Ming Dynasty, Li Tingji wrote about him as follows, "He is persistent in encountering things, especially incorruptible, but also profound, but also quite biased, and does not understand the general situation." The explanation is very simple, that is, Li Tingji is a very honest, business-oriented, self-serving, radical person, and ignorant of the general situation.
Liu Zheng didn't think that Li Tingji was such a person, if he was really such a person, then his champion was lost by Shen Shixing, and he would have already begun to take revenge on the society;
Liu Zheng took a fancy to Li Tingji because Li Tingji was not only an honest official, but also very good at developing the local economy, and had a supportive attitude towards the development of commerce.
It is precisely because Li Tingji has such advanced thinking that he can understand some of Liu Zheng's methods at a very fast speed.
After Li Tingji absorbed some of Liu Zheng's thoughts, and combined them with some of his own thoughts, he had the desire to find someone to talk to and discuss, and the first target of the person he discussed was Liu Zheng, but unfortunately Liu Zheng has not been in Qingzhou, and now that he finally sees Liu Zheng, some questions in his heart gradually emerge.
"Then according to General Liu's opinion, if the imperial court wants to change, what should it do?"
Liu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Lord Li, you shouldn't ask me this, you should ask the first assistant, the second assistant and the third assistant, the three adults!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Zheng saw that Li Tingji's face turned red all of a sudden, and he smiled in his heart, feeling that such a smart person as Li Tingji was sometimes quite funny.
Thinking that he would have to count on this guy to prop up the civil official's shelf in the future, he stopped teasing Li Tingji and continued: "Master Li, since you asked, then I will answer you, in fact, I have already given the answer in my previous words, political clarity and political integrity!" If you can do these eight words, you can solve the current problems of the imperial court! So speaking of which, the question arises again, Lord Li, do you think that with the current environment of officialdom, can you achieve these eight words? ”
Li Tingji was silent all of a sudden, these eight words are very simple, but they are very difficult to do, as difficult as climbing to the sky.
If you insist on doing these two points and eight words, there are only two ways: "First, it is to do it persistently from top to bottom, upward and downward effect, like Zhang Juzheng, no, it should be said that it is more ruthless than Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng is too soft, he knows too much about the art of compromise, he knows how to weigh two words too well, Hai Rui should be put in Zhang Juzheng's position, and he must have the unconditional support of the emperor, and he must be given the power of a heavenly official, so that he can do it!" ”
"Second, it's very simple, but it's absolutely impossible for the imperial court to do it, that is, to break and stand up, break everything that exists, and completely overthrow it and start over!"
Thinking of this, Li Tingji felt very sad in his heart, and when he set his eyes on Liu Zheng, the sorrow in his heart spread even more unscrupulously.
Why? Because Liu Zheng is breaking and then standing, because Liu Zheng, the actual emperor, is fully supporting the eight words of political clarity and political integrity, when he finds a capable subordinate, then the result will be like this?
Li Tingji didn't dare to think about it anymore, because there could only be one result if he thought about it, that is, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably be overthrown by Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng would establish a brand-new and vigorous dynasty on the decaying corpse of the Ming Dynasty.
This is definitely not something he can accept!
Seeing the expression on Li Tingji's face constantly changing, Liu Zheng smiled slightly in his heart, and then said: "Can you do it, Master Li obviously already has the answer!" ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zheng sighed lightly, looked at the busy construction site and said: "Political clarity, political integrity, these eight words are easy to say, but very difficult to do!" ”
"Let's not talk about why it's so difficult, let's talk about what is political clarity, what is political integrity, and how to do it!"
"If you want to talk about this, you have to say first, politics, clarity, and integrity, the meaning of these three groups of words!"
"The sages have been saying since a long time that politics mainly refers to obtaining and ruling the world, managing and educating the people, the meaning is very simple, that is, you seize the world, rule the world, manage the people, educate the people, everyone understands the meaning of the surface, and there are very few people who don't understand the inner meaning, but there are very few people who really understand and can do it!"
"After talking about politics, let's talk about Qingming, what is Qingming, "Book of Songs? Daya? There is such a record in the "Da Ming" that "wanton in the big business, will be in the Qingming Dynasty", and "One Hundred Questions in the Year" has such a record that "all things grow at this time, they are clean and clear, so it is called Qingming", "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty? There is such a record in the "Ban Gu Biography" that "Gu was fortunate to be born in the world of Qingming", from these records, it can be seen that Qingming is not only the literal meaning of "Qing" and "Ming" that we understand, but also the meaning of stability and peace. ”
"What is integrity? Honesty literally means that Wang Yi, a famous university scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once wrote in "Chu Ci? In the chapter and verse, it is commented that "it is not said to be honest, and it is not polluted to be clean", which is simply explained as those that everyone understands, such as I do not accept money and gifts from others, and do not allow myself to do things that stain my character, which is integrity. From the allusion to the allusion of the sheep and the fish in the description of the protagonist Nanyang Taishou Yangxu, we will also understand honesty as that life is simple, especially officials, who say that he is honest, he must wear old clothes, cover the quilt, take a broken carriage, break the sedan chair, and use a broken pot to cook and eat with a broken bowl. ”
"These words are very easy to explain and understand, but when they are combined, they have some very special meanings!"
"Scholars often say that 'the monarch and the sage and the sage, the official and the honest and honest' is the politics of the sage, which is actually said to be the rule of virtue, the idea of the rule of virtue was put forward by the Duke of Zhou, Confucius inherited and carried forward the thought of the Duke of Zhou, and formed a more complete ideological system of rule by virtue, Confucianism takes the virtue as the sect, the etiquette as the table, the people as the foundation, and the essence of the rule of virtue with the personality of the monarch and the sage as the value goal."
"As soon as I talk about this, I have to talk about Confucius, I also want to talk about Confucius too much, Confucius is a sage of scholars, and scholars take what Confucius said as a golden rule, so at a glance, it seems that scholars respect Confucius the most, in fact, I want to say that scholars are the least respectful of Confucius, and they distort Confucius's thoughts into a different way!"
As soon as Liu Zheng said this, a few people around him were about to run away, Mu Ying and Li Tingji were all real readers, Liu Zheng's opening knocked over all the readers with a stick, and in their opinion, these words were absolute slander, even if they could Feiyu, the person who had followed Liu Zheng for the longest time and was the most loyal, they couldn't help but say something.
Liu Zheng seemed to know that these three people were going to speak, so he directly stretched out his hand and waved, and stopped: "We are not here to discuss this today, if you want to discuss this with me, I will sit down with you another day, and we will have a good discussion, so listen to me first!" ”
"Let's continue the previous topic, the most important and fundamental point in the thought of Zhou Gong and Confucius in the rule of virtue is to be people-oriented, and the scholars, in order to cater to the ruling class, have secretly replaced the central idea with the monarch and the minister are all sages, and the sage and the virtuous minister rule vertically, when the sage meets the sage, it is a clear era, call me to say that this is all shit!"
"The era of the Qingming Dynasty is not a saint and a virtuous minister at all, the foundation of the Qingming era is whether the people can live a rich life, but the scholars put the cart before the horse, putting the saint and the virtuous minister in front, which has caused a lot of times in history, even if there are saints and virtuous ministers, the people are still very bitter, which is why there is a sentence that the people are suffering!"
"The reason for this is not only to put the holy monarchs and virtuous ministers in front of it, but also to those virtuous ministers, who value self-discipline, light other discipline, heavy education and light supervision, heavy rule of man and light rule of law, just from the 'people, nature is good', to persistently pursue the inner and outer kings, thinking that through self-cultivation and education, you can achieve conscience, through the 'three provinces of my body' can be honest and honest, these virtuous ministers, thinking too well, completely ignoring that the people who can do these are a minority, and most people are greedy and selfish, Without an environment where the law is greater than heaven and the rule of law is used to rule people, it is impossible to stop those people's greed! ”
Hearing Liu Zheng say this, Mu Ying was suddenly excited, not ordinary excitement, but very, very excited, and even faintly hinted of being too much, but this can't be blamed on Mu Ying, but in the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, no one agrees with his Legalist remarks at all, but now, Liu Zheng actually said such a biased remark in front of so many people, in front of so many important subordinates, and in front of so many people who may become princes and princes in the future.
Mu Ying was excited, and Neng Feiyu was faintly bitter in his heart, don't look at Liu Zheng has been vigorously implementing the rule of law in Qingzhou, and Neng Feiyu is also very cooperative, but he is still more inclined to rule by man in his heart, cooperating with Liu Zheng is because it is in line with the interests of Neng Feiyu, and only by cooperating with Liu Zheng can his position by Liu Zheng's side be stabilized, but when his position is stable and rises to a certain level, such as becoming the head of civil officials, the rule of man begins to be more in line with his interests, after all, in the case of rule of man, he will speak to others'Listen' will 'do'.
Li Tingji's mood is different from the two, he will not be excited or lost, he will not be excited because he is not a supporter of Legalism, and he is not depressed because if Liu Zheng really becomes a complete Legalist, then his dynasty is very likely to die because of this, looking at the Ming Dynasty that can pose a threat to his allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, only Liu Zhenger will be happy if Liu Zheng is finished, but when he thinks of the bad appearance of the imperial court, he is not happy at all, so he is neither excited nor lost.
Just when Mu Ying was excited and Neng Feiyu was disappointed and depressed, Liu Zheng spoke again: "Of course, we can't deny it, rule by virtue, no matter how you say it, rule by virtue is an important foundation for political clarity is beyond doubt, people can't do anything without virtue, right?" ”
When Mu Ying heard this, it was as if she was poured from her head by a basin of cold water, and the flame in her heart was half extinguished at once, and Neng Feiyu was faintly relieved in her heart, but Li Tingji frowned.
The mood of the three of them is really like a roller coaster at this time, but the experience of the roller coaster is not over yet, because Liu Zheng's words have not yet been finished.
"However, although the rule of virtue is an important foundation, it is not the whole story, nor is it the most important part, the most important part should be the rule of law, the basic concept of the rule of law is to emphasize the protection of the people's personal safety and legitimate interests, and to supervise whether officials abuse power."
"From the official's governance concept, design, planning, implementation to the implementation of the policy policy, all need to be supervised by the law, can not let the official pat his head to think of what to do, you must first think about whether you can do this can make the people profitable, whether you can develop the local economy, can, then do, can't, don't do, then how to judge can or can't? No one is a god, no one can guarantee that what they say is right, then at this time you need a very simple, very basic ruler to make a simple measurement, for example, the land under our feet is some cultivated land with owners, you can Feiyu, Mu Ying, Li Tingji Li, you three are the prefects of Linqing, you find that expanding the city, building a new city can play a role in promoting the development of the local economy, and the vast majority of the people in Linqing and even the owners of these lands, In the future, you will also get enough benefits, so the three of you decided to build a new city, but when you want to build a new city, you find that the land you want to occupy is owned by the owner, and these lands are the foundation of their owner's survival, then my problem comes! ”
"Are you building a new city? Or not a new city? ”
If friends in later generations hear Liu Zheng's dialogue, they can immediately think of words such as violent demolition and nail households, and also think of issues such as demolition compensation, etc., all Liu Zheng has to do is to give these people a vaccination first, after all, several counties near Qingzhou have begun to swell, and business has suddenly exploded, bringing prosperity and bringing many additional things, such as some people began to buy houses around the house to expand their own houses, so that It will not be long before the land in the city is insufficient, and it is imperative to expand the city, so the problem of demolition is a problem that must be faced.
In later generations, when you talk about demolition, you will change color, what violent demolition, what you don't agree with, you will play with your own barbecue, play with a jumping machine or something.
Although I don't know if there is such a thing as compensation in Daming, at least he Liu Zheng has never heard of this statement until now.
It is better to say that the land occupied by Linqing is ownerless, and if it is cultivated land to be occupied, these people must be vaccinated first.
