"The middle class has many occupations, but there are only a few industries that are recognized as old-fashioned. Before capitalism dominated the world, the agrarian empires of Asia considered the middle class of the ruled class to be yeoman farmers and small industrial and commercial owners in the cities. In any era, whether a slave city-state or a feudal kingdom, the most glorious period of every regime was the period when the middle class was the largest in number and proportion of the total population.

In East Asia---- the core economic region of China, this iron law is even more proven. Mencius Yun: 'Those who have perseverance without permanent production are only capable of being a scholar.' If the people are the people, then there is no permanent production, because there is no perseverance. There is no perseverance, and there is no way to ward off evil and extravagance. and to be caught in sin, and then to be punished thereby, is to be reckless. If there is a benevolent person in power, it can be done without regard to the people! Therefore, the property of the Ming monarch and the people will be enough to be worthy of his parents, and his wife to be substantiated; Happy years are full for life, and fierce years are free from death. Then drive it to goodness, and the people will follow it lightly. Now it is also the property of the people, and it is not enough to be a father and mother, and it is not enough to give a wife; Happy years are bitter for life, and fierce years are not exempt from death. This is only to save the dead and fear not to support, Xi Xuan is righteous! If the king wants to do it, he will rebel against it. A five-acre house, a mulberry tree, and fifty people can be clothed. Chickens, guineas, dogs, and animals, if there is no time, the seventy can eat meat. A hundred acres of land, don't take the time. A family of eight can be hungry-free. The teaching of the order, the righteousness of filial piety, and the person who gives the confession does not live up to the road. The old man eats meat, and the people are not hungry or cold; However, if you are not a king, you will not be there! This passage succinctly points out the fundamental principles of the ruling class's quest for prosperity and consolidation of its rule, which is to maintain the stability of the middle class and control the gap between rich and poor and land annexation. Knowing etiquette and knowing honor and disgrace when there is enough food and clothing, the ruling order comes from enough middle class.

It's a pity that there are countless people in China who have known this truth for thousands of years. But there are very few people who know the means to achieve these situations. Only knowing the result does not know the process, only slogans and no methods, the reason comes from the fact that no one has Western scientific research methods.

The starting point of China's social sciences is too high, and the first thing to get started with is the theory of the five elements of yin and yang that is holistic, connected, comprehensive, dynamic, and large-scale. Like the West, the partial, fragmented, one-sided, and static methodology of studying things has no foundation. The dynasty's national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce led to the neglect of theoretical research and economic science, so it was difficult for economic science to develop an efficient promotion system of practical science and technology and a system such as patent law.

For example, the means of fiscal and monetary policy to regulate and control the economy appeared hundreds of thousands of years before the West, but there is no set of systematic works to summarize it, and it is always impossible to break out of the cycle of super-stability. Even the sages of Confucius, who were admired by Confucius, did not reach the level of Aar.

Even if there is a new dynasty one after another, one after another Shang Ying, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, Kang Youwei and other reformers, the result is still to strengthen the centralization of power again and again, all changes in China are carried out around the centralization of power, if not, not to mention the inevitable failure, the probability of appearing in the historical records is very low.

If we want to change China's destiny, we must start from the best of centuries. We established the Chenji Group not to cultivate a group of oligarchic chaebols, but to cultivate a group of small and medium-sized capitalists. From the beginning of our selection of partners, it can be seen that we only select the weak and good people.

The purpose of the Jinshi people we have cultivated to become officials and enter the court is to inject a fresh ideology that is different from the old ideology around the power of the monarch into the upper echelons. Hu Shi once said, 'A dirty country, if everyone talks about rules instead of morality, will eventually become a normal country with human feelings, and morality will naturally gradually return; In a clean country, if everyone talks about morality and nobility without paying attention to the rules, and if everyone talks about morality every day, and everyone is impartial, eventually the country will degenerate into a dirty country full of hypocrites. It turned out that it didn't take long for China to really become a selfish country under the indoctrination of Cheng Zhu Lixue. Every ruler shouts the slogan of dedication to others and does things that have no bottom line. The benevolence and righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, the slogan of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, have become partially outdated, and the slogan of exhorting the rulers to be benevolent and righteous to the head of the Qianshou has no appeal to the current ruling class, which now needs a new ideology to replace the non-mainstream ideas such as lifeless Han Confucianism and Buddhism. I think this kind of thinking is the more advanced Neo-Confucianism of the unity of heaven and man, which specifically includes righteousness and sincerity, and knowledge of things (at the personal level); ethnic equality, fiduciary responsibility (social dimension); freedom, rule of law (at the national level); On the basis of these 24-character core values, the core values of "Ping Tianxia" (global level) are established.

The names of saints are the names that the ruling class added after their deaths in order to elevate the identity of the creators of ideological theories and thus indirectly the identities of the executors ---- themselves. In China, no saint can become the ideology of the ruling class while he is alive. The living ideological gurus pose a threat to the secular monarch who is also nominally a saint. So there are no cases of non-monarchs canonized alive in China. But once there is a saint in the world, then his influence is enough to explode the course of history, such as Muhammad and those 'wise kings'. Li Ji brought up the contents of his ultimate plan to create gods.

"This is more merit and strength than Lü Buwei's investment in the sovereign's business! How are you going to do your job? Qian Jin had an expression of watching the play.

"Su Shi can be said to play the role of an amplifier, do you know the six gentlemen of Sumen?" Li Ji asked. "I see what you mean! Smart people don't need to say much, okay, that's all for today, wash and sleep! I've got class tomorrow! Qian Jin pushed open the door of the small tea room and left Li Ji's villa to go home to rest.
