"The ancients, those who know, the law is in yin and yang, and in the number of techniques, eating and drinking modestly, living regularly, and not working in vain, so they can form and be like the gods, and end their days and live a hundred years old.

Nowadays, people take wine as a pulp, take delusion as a norm, get drunk to enter the room, exhaust their essence with desire, dissipate their truth, do not know how to hold full, from time to time to control the gods, be quick with their hearts, go against the joy of life, and live without frugality, so half a hundred and decline. ”

Li Kang sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, looking at the bamboo forest after the new rain, and recited a passage of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" very abruptly.

This was when Li Kang and Sun Simiao were chatting with each other in Zhongnanguan, Li Kang asked Sun Simiao for advice on how to maintain health. Sun Simiao replied to the Yellow Emperor with this passage of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: Ancient Treatise on Innocence" Qi Bo replied to the Yellow Emperor.

"Mr. Sun's idea is good, but everything is complicated, continuous, and unexpected, and it is impossible to prevent it... 100,000 people are in one, all industries are start-ups, and the future is uncertain, but I can only tremble and tremble, like walking on thin ice, and teach me how to 'live a normal life and not work in vain'?

Li Kang said faintly, no one agrees, and he doesn't need anyone to echo it, as long as the people around him can understand it and spread his leisure feelings.

Fang Yizhi, who had just returned from the inspection on behalf of Li Kang, really understood, and when Li Kang chatted with Sun Simiao, he was by his side.

At the beginning, Sun Simiao not only said this paragraph, but Sun Simiao also said all the words that followed, "Therefore, those who can be 100 years old and act without decay are not in danger with their virtues." ”

This is clearly talking about health preservation, but in fact talking about governance, vaguely expressing different opinions to Li Kang, and persuading Li Kang to "join the way".

The Taoist policy of governing the country is the central idea of "governing by doing nothing", and the popular point is that the people love to do what they do, the government should not meddle in things, pursue nature and simplicity, "the country looks at each other, the voice of the chicken and the dog hears each other, and the people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead", peaceful and quiet, self-sufficient, live in the present, and enjoy the present.

Among the policies implemented by Li Kang, there are the shadows of the Legalists, such as the Dali Temple and the complicated legal provisions; there are the shadows of the soldiers, such as the professional soldiers and the domineering and tough attitude towards the surrounding natives; there are the shadows of the Mohists, such as the Science and Technology Department, research institutes and factories; there are the shadows of the Zonghengists, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; there are the shadows of Confucianism, such as the Rites Department and the ideological and moral education in schools; and even the shadows of miscellaneous families, in which the cabinet and the Secretariat have the meaning of gathering the wisdom of the people...

But there is no shadow of Taoism, and even Taoism is not related to the style of horses, horses, and cows, completely contrary to each other, Taoism pays attention to "rule by inaction", but Li Kang is eager to take care of everything, if conditions permit, it is best to report and pee first.

Of course, Li Kang doesn't think it's a big deal for the latter point, doesn't he need to raise his hand in advance to apply for it when holding a conference or class?

Since the successive dynasties, the imperial power has not gone to the countryside, and the vast rural areas can almost be regarded as the autonomous state of the villagers, and the influence of the imperial court is limited.

Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, it was divided into the main official (county order, one person), the second official (county cheng, the main book, three or four people in the big county, and not even in the small county), the teaching position (the teaching, the instruction, one person each, not into the stream), miscellaneous duties (inspection, post officer, ambassador of each bureau, more than a dozen people in the big county, not set up in the small county), the chief official (the classic history, one person, not into the stream), the official (the secretary, Wardens, etc., more than a dozen people in large counties, and several people in small counties), these are all "civil servants" who are officially taking the imperial court and have archives in the Ministry of Officials, with an average of about 30 people in each county, and a county, on average, there must be 30,000 or 40,000 people, right?

The rest are like what kind of servants, monks, Taoist associations, miscellaneous servants (yagong, kuzi, canglao, etc.), especially miscellaneous servants, although the number is huge, reaching hundreds, or even thousands, but it is not counted as the imperial court establishment, and belongs to the lowly status.

And what about Huaxia now? There are more than 30 police officers in one county!

Each county has a county order, a county officer, a county lieutenant, a county bureau, how many departments in the central government, how many bureaus under the county, each bureau has a director and deputy director, there are a number of sections under the bureau, the section has a chief and deputy chief, and there is a large number of section members below, this is the county, and each town under the county has a set of teams.

The teaching staff of each school, the resident doctors of each medical center, the directors of various associations, the directors and deputy directors of each factory, and the supervisors at all levels......

After counting them one by one, there are thousands of public officials in a county, and it is simply mad to manage all aspects!

Although most of the positions are still vacant now, I am afraid that there will be no radish inserted sooner or later!

How can this atmosphere of oppressive domination not suffocate the Taoists? They only feel that they are in an invisible cage, unable to breathe, and have no freedom to speak of!

Not only Taoists, but other people have this feeling to a greater or lesser extent, of course, excluding the three schools of law, soldiers, and Mo, well, Mo, specifically refers to technicians, and other Mojia messy thoughts, Li Kang is extremely disliked, and does not admit it at all, strictly speaking, the Mohists are the worst.

In addition, Li Kang attaches great importance to industry and commerce and lures the people to profit, which makes a large group of "moral models" unaccustomed to it, but Li Kang is too lazy to bird them!

Of course, Li Kang doesn't think that Sun Simiao is also such a person, Sun Simiao should be purely unaccustomed to the impetuousness of the people now, and the people's hearts are gradually becoming less ancient, and he is a little worried.

Li Kang is also very worried, compared to Sun Simiao, he is a person from the past, and he has personally experienced what kind of price the old world has paid for economic development.

So, he took a fancy to Confucian brainwashing... Educational ability, which spares no effort to carry out ideological education for students, and vigorously publicizes good people and good deeds, and gives heavy rewards.

After all, just verbally praising and then giving a big red flower, pennant or something can't mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, which is the same as "Zigong redeems people and Zilu receives cattle", which shows that Confucius does know the subtleties and perceives people's hearts, which is much stronger than a group of disgusting disciples and grandchildren in later generations.

As for the wicked people's evil deeds, it is enough to know that there is such a thing, and after dealing with the wicked people, this matter will be over, and there is no need to make it known to the whole world, not to mention the impact on the image of the Chinese people, and it is easy to teach the bad people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The people have always had only a limited right to know, and only need a limited right to know!

However, no matter how much Li Kang does, when the mobility of the people is strengthened and their horizons are opened, they will never be able to return to the simplicity of the time when "old and dead do not get along", this is true, and Sun Simiao is also worried about this.

If you don't want to, you can't!

Fang Yizhi completely understands!
