Chapter 521

From the day this train theory was published, it sparked all sorts of debates, and the theme of the debate naturally revolved around whether you chose to kill five people in order to save one person, or whether you were indifferent and watched one person die without saving them.

No matter what you do, someone will die, but if you don't do it, you will at most suffer some blame and moral suffering, but you have saved four more people, but if you act bravely, you have indeed saved one person, but you have indirectly killed five others.

Of course, after that, there are all kinds of problems, for example, there are two ships shipwrecked in the sea at the same time, about to sink, and now you are driving a ship to save people, but can only save the people on one of the ships, then you also learn that one of the ships is an escort ship transporting prisoners, and the other is also a passenger ship full of rich people and dignitaries, then you will choose to save the people on that boat.

And the thing that Cheng Yu encountered was a choice similar to this, if he chose to seek justice for the big family that was destroyed, then it would inevitably punish all the men in the entire village with heavy punishment, and then the village would perish nine times out of ten, and if Cheng Yu chose not to blame the people, even if he only punished the evil, it would not be able to calm the anger of the major families in Dong'e County, and the big family who was destroyed would die in vain.

All in all, Liu Xin felt that no matter what choice Cheng Yu made, he would fall into an embarrassing situation, either destroying a village to show the majesty of the king's law, or offending the entire family in Dong'e County and letting the evildoers go unpunished.

Therefore, Liu Xin is now very curious about what Cheng Yu will do, but according to Liu Xin's analysis of Cheng Yu's character, he feels that Cheng Yu will choose the former nine times out of ten, enforce the law impartially, and impose heavy sentences on those who violate the law!

In fact, in the argument with Zhong Hui and others, Cheng Yu said the way he chose to deal with it, that is, let the Dong'e County Order divide these villagers into two levels, among which the villagers who directly participated in the tragedy, that is, the criminals who killed the family of the big family with their own hands, will be directly executed in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty, and those who did not directly participate in the tragedy, but also acquiesced in the actions of the criminals, so the villagers who joined this evil act will be uniformly recognized as accomplices and will be cut into slavery. Unified management by Dong'e County Order!

This kind of punishment is not insignificant, after all, this is equivalent to letting the villagers in this village directly execute a group, and then put the remaining villagers into slavery, so that the whole village will be directly destroyed...

As a result, Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei and others thought that Cheng Yu was too ruthless in doing this, and directly destroyed a village, which made Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei and others feel that the punishment was too severe.

No, Cheng Yu didn't think so, because according to Cheng Yu's idea at the beginning, that is, in troubled times, the villagers of the entire village should be directly executed, so that they can set an example and make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that the same tragedy will not happen again, but Cheng Yu took into account the opinions of the people at the time, and knew that if he really did this, it was likely to cause a riot, so he changed his plan and severely punished a group of people.

But even so, Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui and others still think that Cheng Yu's sentence is too severe, after all, although Cheng Yu did not say how many criminals he killed, it can be analyzed from Cheng Yu's narrative that the men of the entire village are basically involved in this tragedy, so the men of the entire village are criminals and will be executed!

And the young king also mentioned that in the Han Dynasty, if you enter the slave family, there is basically no room to turn over, unless the master is gracious, otherwise these people with slave status can only be a slave forever, life and death are in the hands of the master's thoughts, can not have their own life, and will be a slave for generations, basically this family is finished.

Therefore, no one would be willing to join the slavery unless it was a last resort, and this time Cheng Yu put all the remaining people in the village into slavery, which was undoubtedly a bit too harsh.

And Cheng Yu didn't quite agree with Jiang Wei and others, because Cheng Yu thought that this was the most merciful decision, after all, the villagers in these villages had indeed committed serious crimes, which could not be washed away, so even if Cheng Yu sentenced all the villagers in this village to death, it was also in line with the law, but Cheng Yu still took into account the thoughts of other ordinary people in Dong'e County, so he would do so, and as far as the current situation of the Han Dynasty is concerned, if all the strong laborers in this village are dead, Then there is no labor force in this village to support the family, then the remaining villagers will be in a state of no one to support, and eventually the remaining villagers in this village will either be starved to death, or become private slaves of some families, so it is better to let the remaining residents of this village all become official slaves, so that life has a certain security, after all, official slaves are higher than private slaves in all aspects.

But even so, Cheng Yu still failed to convince Jiang Wei and others, after all, Liu Xin also knew that there was basically no possibility of one party convincing the other side in an argument like this, after all, this has involved a person's outlook on life and values, and everyone's outlook on life and values must be different, because everyone's background environment, people and things they have encountered, and all aspects of information they receive are different, so there will be a variety of outlooks on life and values. Moreover, people like Cheng Yu and Jiang Wei are among the best wise men in the Han Dynasty now and in the future, and such wise men all have a common characteristic, that is, they insist on their own opinions!

Although they may accept the suggestions put forward by others and reflect on the problems that others have given them, this does not mean that these wise people will casually change the ideas they insist on, or they can directly say that they have their own outlook on life and values, after all, this is undoubtedly self-severing and destroying their own persistence.

And people who can't stick to their own ideas, casually change their thoughts just because of a word or a behavior of others, which is undoubtedly a stupid person can do such a thing...

Therefore, Cheng Yu and Jiang Wei and others all insisted on their own views and began to argue, Liu Xin also knew that at this time, it was time for him to appear, because if Cheng Yu and others continued to quarrel like this, it would definitely affect the relationship between Cheng Yu and others, after all, it was only a dispute between Cheng Yu and others on one matter, and it could barely be regarded as a discussion, but over time it would rise to the aspect of character, of course, the character here is not good or bad, But everyone's character has a phase, just like Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui and others have a very good relationship, so Jiang Wei and others can talk together, and they can also work together for Liu Xin in the future, but if Jiang Wei and others continue to quarrel with Cheng Yu now, then in terms of the character of Jiang Wei and others, there will inevitably be the idea of "lack of vertical son and conspiracy", although it will not be "old and dead" with Cheng Yu at that time, but there will definitely be some gaps and distances, and there may be infighting at that time.

This is something that Liu Xin does not want to see.

Therefore, Liu Xin doesn't care what kind of high price the blue and white porcelain vase can be sold for, and now Liu Xin must maintain a harmonious relationship between his subordinates.

So, Liu Xin stood up, walked to Cheng Yu and the others, and said, "The discussion here is quite lively." ”

Before Cheng Yu and the others could explain, Liu Xin shook his head and continued: "You don't need to say more, I already know what kind of question you were discussing just now, so I also have a question I want to test you now, I don't know if you can give me a satisfactory answer." ”

Cheng Yu and the others also knew what Liu Xin was thinking now, so they didn't say anything, and nodded one after another, saying that they were willing to hear it in detail.

So, Liu Xin came up with a modified train theory, after all, there is no train in Dahan these years...

Therefore, Liu Xin said, "When I was practicing with my master, I traveled to a snow-capped mountain, and as a result, an avalanche suddenly occurred on this snow-capped mountain, and at this time, this king found a problem, there is exactly one household on the left side of the snow-capped mountain, and there are five households on the right side of the snow-capped mountain, so at this time, I have not yet been able to directly eliminate this avalanche, but I can concentrate the damage of the avalanche on one side, so what should I do now?" Of course, if I choose to do nothing, then the inhabitants of both sides will die. ”

As soon as Liu Xin's question came out, Cheng Yu and others fell into contemplation, after all, this problem is really a bit difficult, and Cheng Yu and others have never been exposed to such a problem again, so they haven't come up with the best plan for a while.

But after all, it was Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu quickly made his own decision, and it was also a decision that was very in line with Cheng Yu's character, that is, to decisively guide the avalanche to the left side of the snow-capped mountain where there was only one resident, because this could save more people, and Jiang Wei and others also made the same decision as Cheng Yu after being silent for a while, after all, such a decision is also the best decision in the eyes of Jiang Wei and others...

However, Liu Xin didn't plan to stop there, and continued: "Then the problem comes again, I passed by a snow-capped mountain the next day, and this snow-capped mountain also had an avalanche, and at this time, I found that there were five absconding criminals on the left side of the snow-capped mountain, and on the right side of the snow-capped mountain were five soldiers chasing these criminals, and now I can only concentrate the avalanche on one side, so what should I do?" ”

This time, Cheng Yu made a decision without thinking, that is, to continue to lead the avalanche to the five criminals on the left, because this can save the good guys and let the bad guys be punished accordingly, and Jiang Wei and the others didn't think long this time, and also chose Cheng Yu's answer, because.

And this time Liu Xin still smiled, and continued: "The premise remains the same, this time on the left side is an ordinary farmer, and on the right side is a rich businessman, so what should I do this time?" ”

Liu Xin's question this time is a little sharp, after all, the current Han Dynasty, the nominal status of the businessman is very low, not as good as the ordinary farmer, but in reality, this businessman is better than this ordinary farmer in all aspects, after all, the value that this businessman can create is definitely higher than that of the ordinary farmer.

Therefore, this time, even Cheng Yu fell into contemplation again and began to think about this question, the key to which is who has the value of being rescued between ordinary farmers and wealthy businessmen.

After a while, Cheng Yu once again made his own decision, that is, to save the rich businessman, the reason is that this rich businessman can create greater value, after all, the rich businessman's family property is wealth, which can bring more taxes to the country and provide more jobs for ordinary people.

And Jiang Wei's side also had a disagreement, Zhang Song and Huang Quan thought that the ordinary farmer should be saved, because this ordinary farmer is likely to be the pillar of a family, if this ordinary farmer dies, then it is bound to destroy a family, and if the rich businessman dies, at least he will leave a large amount of family property to his family, and the family of this rich businessman will be able to live well, and Jiang Wei and others still chose Cheng Yu's answer this time, the reason is naturally similar to Cheng Yu.

And Liu Xin also felt that the time was ripe, and the time had come, so he said to everyone: "I believe you already know the reason why I asked these questions, and also know the meaning of these three questions, these three questions are a two-choice compulsory question, first of all, quantity, then good and evil, and finally value, from your answers, you can see that everyone has different ideas about these questions, even if you choose the same answer, but it is still different in thinking, And the problems that Cheng Yu encountered in Dong'e before are similar to the problems I mentioned now, but they are more complicated, because they involve quantity, good and evil, and status, or their respective values, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the choice Cheng Yu made, and Jiang Wei, there is nothing wrong with your thoughts, because the order in which you look at things, whether the focus is or not, is different, but this is also a good thing, because in this way we can complement each other and explain each otherSo you can look at things in their entirety, you see? ”

Cheng Yu and the others naturally understood what Liu Xin meant, and nodded their heads one after another.
