Chapter 268: I Don't Want to
The word benevolence and righteousness mentioned earlier, benevolence loves others, and for the emperor, it is the greatest benevolence to let the people eat well. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For the hundred officials, it was their duty to help the emperor solve his troubles.
"What is the so-called thing in the book of sages, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world."
Chen Jincai said lightly: "The old mountain is the head of a hospital, when there are hills and valleys in the chest, the talents taught will be the pillars of the country in the future!"
As a teacher and an elder, you will inevitably learn to be rich and rich, and solving this small problem is just a matter of hand! ”
Chen Jincai's question simply stopped the old mountain chief, not only the old mountain chief, but also everyone present.
Is this a problem? That's right, that's a problem!
And it's a big problem!
The cornerstone of a country is the people, even those who have not read Mencius know.
Those who have read "Mencius" know that the so-called people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light.
This sentence is not just talking, the elders of the rural clan also know that the opinions of the clansmen need to be taken seriously, and the strength of the clansmen needs to be helped.
If there are no clansmen, how much power can the clan elder himself have!
If there are no people in a county, what power does the county commander?
When the emperor has no people, what can he be called an emperor.
Therefore, as long as you have a little understanding, you know that the people are the cornerstone of the country.
But they never imagined that one day, the output of the earth would not be able to feed all the people.
"Don't you think this question is ridiculous? Why hadn't you thought about this question before! ”
Chen Jincai said coldly: "You haven't thought about this problem, it's because whenever this problem arises, whenever it appears, when the earth can't support all the people."
It's when a country collapses!
Therefore, you only care about the change of dynasty, and you only care about the court making the people miserable.
In fact, this is just an excuse for what you see for yourself.
In fact, you have not found the root cause of this situation.
The so-called treatment of diseases and saving people needs to find the root cause of the disease in order to prescribe the right medicine.
So you scholars, have you found the root cause of the problem of changing dynasties for thousands of years?
Maybe you didn't find it, or maybe someone found the root of the problem and found that it was an unsolvable problem, so it was not made public. ”
When Chen Jin said this, his eyes looked around the audience, his eyes were so sharp that when he saw someone, no one looked at him.
No one dares!
Because of the weakness of the heart, yes!
Before Chen Jincai didn't say this question, no one had ever counted this number.
Because data, perhaps in this era, is not taken seriously.
However, in fact, data is the most important thing in governing the country!
For example, now, when Chen Jin said the data, they knew the root of the matter.
It's like clearing through the fog and seeing the true self, seeing the true self through dreams.
And then what? Even if they see a problem, they can't find a solution to it.
They actually felt that they were only the thickness of a piece of paper from the solution to the problem, but unfortunately they couldn't find a way to pierce that paper.
Yes, after they realized this problem under Chen Jincai's reminder, they did not find a solution to this problem in a hurry.
So they put their expectant eyes on Chen Jincai.
Because since Chen Jincai raised this problem, there must be a solution.
It is the wise man who can solve problems with the help of everything, with the help of something or power.
Therefore, the tens of thousands of wise men present were waiting for Chen Jincai's answer.
Especially Zhao Ji, others can not care about this problem, but he must care.
Just like what Chen Jincai said just now, the interests of the people are actually the interests of the emperor.
He didn't understand this until anyone pointed it out, after all, in the previous education, no one would teach him to analyze the problem so clearly.
Now that Chen Jin has explained the matter thoroughly, he feels that it makes a lot of sense, as if things should have been treated this way.
"There have been many times in history when in the later stages of some dynasties the people were struggling to survive."
Chen Jincai said slowly: "Give some of these in the history books, the evaluation of the dynasty.
It is said that traitors are in charge, kings are mediocre and incompetent, far virtuous ministers, and close to villains.
In short, splash all the dirty water on the last emperor.
The so-called people's lack of livelihood is mostly caused by some major natural disasters and man-made disasters.
They criticized the king for not being able to use people, so it was useless to use it to govern the country.
Anyway, there are thousands of ways to be fatal.
But is that really the case?
In fact, all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters.
As long as the imperial court is still developing normally, they will have the ability to provide relief to the victims and tide over this difficulty.
However, there is always a certain degree of thing, when the population is large enough, the food produced in the field is not enough to consume.
Or it is just enough to consume, there is no food in the warehouse, and there is no food at home.
This is the root of the disaster!
How many people can each piece of land support? Did you know?
This is actually not fixed, the environment, and productivity.
That is, how much output of that piece of land is enough for personal consumption, and whether there is a surplus, this must be counted, and this is the strategy of governing the country.
Whether it is guaranteed to be enough to consume and at the same time to store food, in case of emergency, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters.
This is the duty and benevolence of the officials and the emperor.
This is the way of benevolence and righteousness, and only by governing the world with benevolence and righteousness can the world last for a long time.
You will find that you say that Qin II died, it was Qin who was brutal, and you can cite many examples.
However, the most important reason is that the Great Qin Emperor and the hundred officials did not allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, which is the biggest reason. ”
"When the people hate you, your country wants to last forever like a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water.
A castle made of sand on the beach will turn into a pile of sand again when the waves come. ”
"The most important condition for living and working in peace and contentment is to have enough to eat."
"Now the question we are asking is that there is not enough land to feed more people, what will happen to our children and grandchildren?"
"Or rather, what will we do if the population doubles in a few decades?"
"Is it like all dynasties, a long time must be united, a long time must be divided?
Whenever the population reaches a certain level, there is a civil strife, and then the dynasty is changed.
Enough people have died, and when the number of people is reduced to a certain level, they will settle down again.
The land under the world will be redistributed so that everyone can have land to feed, live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate. ”
When Chen Jin said this, his voice suddenly rose up: "In this process of changing the dynasty, how many people will die?"
How many families will be destroyed from now on, and the blood will not exist!
Are you willing to do that?
I don't want to!
