Chapter Forty-Four: The Three Peoples of the Prosperous Era

Although Du Ruhui is known as the "break" in "Fang Mou Du Break", it shows that he is very good at making decisions. However, the so-called good at making decisions, in the words of a later generation, is good at analysis, has strong analytical skills, and can quickly judge the pros and cons of this. Fang Xuanling is good at planning, but he is not good at analyzing the specific pros and cons of things, Du Ruhui may be good at picking out a plan with the greatest benefits and the least disadvantages from these plans, so as to get the greatest benefits. And this is based on analytical ability, Du Ruhui's analytical ability is very strong.

But now Du Ruhui found that Shi Bufan was even better than his analytical ability, which made Du Ruhui really feel terrible. Du Ruhui didn't know that the economic data of various countries that Shi Bufan had analyzed in later generations was simply incomparable, and he was even more experienced than Du Ruhui in data analysis methods. Shi Bufan received a professional education in later generations, but Du Ruhui was obviously not as professional and systematic as those in later generations in terms of analytical ability. Of course, it is not possible to judge that future generations are more suitable than Du Ruhui as a prime minister. Because if you want to be the prime minister, you can't just have the ability, but also know the world very well, although the future generations may not be worse than Du Ruhui in terms of business ability, but they are definitely not Du Ruhui's opponent in terms of human feelings.

However, although even if Shi Bufan may not be as good as Du Ruhui in terms of human sophistication at present, Du Ruhui obviously feels that this Shi Bufan's "break" is more powerful than him, and he suddenly grasped Li Shimin's bottom line. Shi Bufan grasped it very well, and he completely grasped Li Shimin's bottom line, neither crossed the bottom line, but also sought the greatest interests for himself. That's why Du Ruhui felt the horror of Shi Bu Extraordinary, this grasp was so just right, Du Ruhui felt terrible. However, Du Ruhui didn't know that his time was only because he was clear about their plans, and Li Shimin's various plans were known to Shi Bufan, so he could naturally grasp this "scale" very well. Intelligence information often determines the future. When I was studying economics, I knew that information asymmetry was very disadvantageous. Li Shimin currently knows too little about Shi Bufan, but Li Shimin's plan is unilaterally transparent to Shi Bufan, and of course they are eaten to death by Shi Bufan.

"Shi Xiao Shulang, if the Lone King can one day be in charge of my Tang Dynasty military and government, the Lone King is willing to do something for the people of the world. Lone King hopes to make my Datang stable, and let the people of Datang have no worries about food and clothing, so that it will be a prosperous era. Li Shimin said.

However, Shi Bufan shook his head and said: "King Qin, I don't think this is a prosperous era, just relying on worry-free food and clothing and national stability, it is not a real prosperous era. ”

"Oh? Isn't it a prosperous age to have no worries about food and clothing? "Li Shimin is also a little surprised, since ancient times, the prosperous times have not been worry-free, and the stability of the country is also the prosperous times?

Shi Bufan explained: "The so-called prosperous age, I recognize an article in the Book of Rites. That article starts with 'The Journey of the Great Road', has King Qin read it? ”

"Naturally, I've read it, but I'm afraid I don't know how to achieve that kind of harmony!" Li Shimin was quite emotional.

Shi Bufan easily answered: "Actually, if I want to achieve that Datong, although it is more difficult, I can have a clear route and method, as long as I find a way to achieve it, and gradually do it." ”

"Oh? What method? Li Shimin asked.

Shi Bufan said with certainty: "In fact, if you want to achieve this great harmony, it is nothing more than to gradually realize it according to the method of the 'three people'." ”

"What are the 'Three Peoples'?" Li Shimin asked.

Shi Bufan replied: "The three people, that is, the nation, the people's livelihood, and the people's rights." ”

"The nation is to ensure that our Chinese nation is not invaded and humiliated by foreigners, and the nation is the foundation of people's livelihood and civil rights. If they are invaded by foreign nations and have to spend a lot of their wealth on wars, and the people are directly or indirectly exploited by foreign tribes, then the people will have no livelihood and naturally no livelihood at all. Therefore, if you want to ensure a prosperous era, you must have a strong army, and have strong strength to ensure national security, so that the people can truly live a stable life, and foreign people dare not easily invade and loot. Therefore, the nation is a means to maintain the stability of our Chinese nation and to maintain the stability of the nation through various methods, which is the basis of everything that follows. ”

"The next people's livelihood refers to the people living and working in peace and contentment, and being able to worry about food and clothing. But it's not enough to have no worries about food and clothing, but also to live a better life. People's livelihood is not only about eating well, but also about eating well and using it well. Maybe in the eyes of King Qin, it's okay to be able to eat ordinary food, right? However, my so-called people's livelihood is to make every household can afford to eat meat, and the combination of various dishes is also quite exquisite. And this is not enough, but also to allow the people to relax, not just work. I'm afraid that now tourism can only be done by people like the powerful and rich, but in the future, if all the people can have the financial resources to travel, then this may just reach the people's livelihood realm that I hope for. People's livelihood is not just for living, but also for getting better. ”

Li Shimin was quite speechless, because if according to Shi Bufan's words, then every family can eat well, eat meat, and even have time to travel, so what a "local tyrant" such a country must be! In the eyes of ancients like Li Shimin, being able to eat enough is already a "prosperous age". But in Shi Bufan, not only do you have to eat well, but you also have to eat well and live a better life, this is simply too luxurious, right?

However, Li Shimin did not object, because he knew that if he could really know this "people's livelihood", then this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty would be incomparable, even more powerful than the so-called rule of Wenjing.

"After realizing the people's livelihood, we must further realize the people's rights!" Shi Bufan explained.

"Civil rights?" Li Shimin was a little vigilant, because anyone who wanted to be an emperor was also very sensitive to the word "power".

"The so-called nation and people's livelihood only meet the most basic needs of the people, that is, the needs of being able to survive and be stable. The nation provides stability, and the livelihood of the people keeps them from starving. But when they are full of food and they don't have to worry about their food and clothing, they naturally have more ideas. When the time comes, the people may want to have power. Of course, this power is not the power of the imperial government. Rather, they have the right to choose their own future, for example, farmers can have the right to change their careers, and they do not have to continue farming, they can do other jobs. And any common people have the right to become an official of the imperial court, and any common people have the right to make suggestions and suggestions for the imperial court. Of course, this only has this power, not that everyone should be an official, and to be an official, they must pass the imperial examination. And the suggestions and suggestions are also judged by the emperor or the officials of the court whether to agree or not. And the right to ensure the safety of property, the right to make money through one's own efforts, and so on. And no one can interfere with the expropriation at will, which is also civil rights. ”

Shi Bufan flickered here, anyway, he flickered hard, he transformed Mr. Sun's so-called "Three People's Doctrine" into a mess, in short, except for those three words, in fact, the meaning in it has actually been changed. In the new version of the "Three People's Principles" of Shi Bufan, it is a progressive form. The purpose of the nation is to ensure the safety of the nation and not to be enslaved directly or indirectly, and the people's livelihood is to live a better life, and civil rights is to ensure the rights of the people, so that they can obtain a certain degree of "freedom".

These three are actually progressive, with the former one determining the latter one. Without the security of the country and the nation, there will naturally be no people's livelihood to speak of. And without people's livelihood, it is natural that there can be no so-called civil rights.

Li Shimin immediately replied: "Didn't the imperial court open the imperial examination and allow the people to make suggestions, didn't that give the people this so-called civil right?" Why do we need to make people's lives better? ”

"King Qin, although the imperial court opened up the imperial examination and was able to let the people give advice, it did not really allow the people to realize their civil rights. Guan Zhong once said that Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, if he can't eat enough and don't warm up, how can the people feel at ease? As for those who would rather freeze to death and starve to death than be traitors, then I think it is definitely not the majority, but only a very small number of saints. When a person does not have enough to eat, will he consider contributing to the country and working hard to build the country together? ”

"It was mentioned in Cao Di's polemic that meat eaters seek it. Cao Di can take the initiative to contribute to the country when he has not yet reached the meat eater, but this is not the norm, and it is undeniable that there are very few, and only a very few people can contribute to the country like Cao Di. Of course, is Cao Di really an ordinary person? If he hadn't read books, how could he have such a future? At that time, Confucius accepted disciples who were all educated, but there were still very few people who could read, and they didn't have money to read. If you don't have enough food and clothing, you won't have the opportunity to study. ”

Therefore, if we want the people to be able to participate in making suggestions, we must ensure that the people have the right to read. Therefore, we must first ensure the people's livelihood, and then everyone has no worries about food and clothing, so as to ensure that everyone has the right to study, so that everyone can participate in the construction of the national court and make the national court better. ”

"Everyone has the right to read? This, not bad! Li Shimin replied.

In the inner room, Fang Xuanling's face turned blue when he heard this, obviously very unhappy with this statement. If anyone who opposes this person the most has the right to read, then at present, Li Shimin is definitely dominated by Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling is the representative of the Shandong Shi clan, which is a major family that monopolizes cultural rights. If the people of the world can read, the blow to the authority of the Shandong scholars will be extremely huge. Their Shandong scholars are actually two sides of the same coin, they are political lords when they enter the imperial court, and they are academic lords when they leave the imperial court. They held a scepter in one hand and a book in the other, and thus they ruled over the people.

While they interpret the so-called books according to their own needs, they confuse the people. On the other hand, he uses the knowledge he has to enter the official career and manipulate the state apparatus to rule the people. But if one day all the people in the world can have the opportunity to study, it will definitely damage the interests of the Shandong scholars.

Fang Xuanling, as the representative of the interests of the Shandong Shi clan, of course he felt unhappy when he heard this plan. As for saying that some later online novels believe that Fang Xuanling's son invented the so-called papermaking and movable type printing, and then Fang Xuanling is extremely happy, it is absolutely nonsense. Fang Xuanling, as a representative of the etiquette of the Shandong Shi clan, if his son invented the so-called papermaking and movable type printing, then I am afraid that Fang Xuanling would definitely give his son "righteous annihilation". The more ignorant the people are, the better it is for the Shandong scholars.

Fang Xuanling, as a representative of the Shandong Shi clan, the so-called butt determines the head, it is naturally impossible for him to do this kind of thing that makes culture popularized in large quantities, and his brain has not yet entered the water! Therefore, Fang Xuanling supports cultural diffusion, but he is absolutely a fool, and he does not understand the interest class represented by Fang Xuanling at all.

As for Du Ruhui, when he saw Fang Xuanling's face darkening even more, he was also snickering in his heart, because the relationship between Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling was not as good as it seemed, Du Ruhui was from Shaanxi, and Fang Xuanling was from Shandong. If you are familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, you should know that from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Sui Dynasty, there were two large groups competing for power and profit with each other. One is the Shi group headed by the Shandong Shi clan, and the other is the Guan Long group dominated by the Guanlong people. The scholars of Shandong originated from culture, and the more monopoly the culture, the better it was for them.

However, the Guanlong Group originated from Wufu, and it looked at the cultural monopoly relatively lightly, so Du Ruhui saw Fang Xuanling's face darkened, but he was also snickering in his heart. Because Du Ruhui represents the interests of the Guanlong Group, although he is currently cooperating well with Fang Xuanling, he is not really a thorough person.

The relationship between Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui is definitely not as simple and friendly as the average later generation thinks, and there are many internal conflicts between them. This is also called politics, which is both cooperation and struggle. At present, they can temporarily cooperate in order to allow Li Shimin to ascend to the throne. However, as for whether they will fight in the future, in fact, it is not up to them, and it depends on the interest groups they represent behind them. Although it is undeniable that their personal friendship may be good, as a political matter, you can't help your personal friendship!

But seeing Fang Xuanling so deflated, the heart in Du Ruhui's heart, which represents the Guanlong Group, is also refreshed!
