Chapter 514 Ambition
For this Wang Yangming's theory, Ying Chong only felt that it was a headache. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info want to know the unity of action, this truth is undoubtedly excellent.
Knowledge refers to conscience, action refers to human practice, the unity of knowledge and action, neither to swallow and act with knowledge, to think that knowledge is action, nor to swallow knowledge with action, to think that action is knowledge.
This is the way to teach people to behave as human beings.
But the 'reason' is all in the human 'heart', the 'reason' incarnates all things in the universe, and people are delicate and so on, but Ying Chong doesn't think so.
When you are eleven or twelve years old, how much truth can you understand? (Wang Yangming Gezhu is eighteen years old, and it is set here as eleven)
Without a certain academic foundation, what truth can be made? Moreover, it takes several years, only three days, for bamboo to grow from a bamboo shoot at the beginning of its birth.
However, such a character may be the most suitable for that Haoran righteousness. After all, the latter is also heart-oriented.
Ying Chong is also not sure whether he wants to include Wang Yangming under his command. Regardless of this 'Xinxue', this person's talent in governing politics and military is undoubtedly the best choice, and he is extremely good in both aspects.
In addition, in just twenty years, this person will definitely be able to enter the emperor's throne and become the most powerful person in Confucianism.
But if he wins, because of this person's potential, he tries his best to solicit, and he feels that it is against his own heart. He really couldn't force himself to agree with Wang Yangming's doctrine.
Between idealism and materialism, he still agrees with the latter.
In the end, Ying Chong decided to postpone the matter for the time being, ready to see. And Wang Yangming, who is a person, may not have the intention of joining him to win the rush, he is thinking about these at this time, it is too self-inflicted.
Thinking like this, Ying Chong was puzzled. Since the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in the past 10,000 years, there have been sages and grandmasters in the Seven Kingdoms, such as Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Yang Zhu, etc., all of which have opened their own families. Then there were the giants of the Mathematics Sect, who continued to evolve and improve their doctrines and push them to the peak.
From the heart, these doctrines have their merits. Whether it is Confucianism, Moism, Legalism, Taoism, farming, miscellaneous families, etc., it can be used by the world, or it can benefit all people.
But the vast majority of people are self-contained, conformist, and insist on the door, and regard other doctrines as heretical.
It seems that the ink craftsmanship of the Mo family is undoubtedly beneficial to the country, but it is preferable to advocate what is both love and non-attack. It is good for the peasants to attach importance to agriculture and delve into agronomy, which has greatly increased grain production in various localities. However, he was extremely rejecting businessmen, believing that agriculture was the premise and guarantee of moral education. Persuading the people to engage in agriculture can make the people simple, and it also wants to tie the peasants to the land and prevent them from moving at will, so that the king and the government can drive them.
Not to mention Confucianism, the word 'rite' makes Yingchong spurned. That is the fallacy of defending the status of scholars and kings.
In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
But how is it that no one has ever thought of merging these doctrines into one, taking the essence of these doctrines and discarding the dross?
Do we have to divide Confucianism, Mohistism, and Legalism?
Ying Chong thought to himself that if one day, he would be in charge of the world. We must dismiss all the hundred schools, and only integrate the beneficial learning of those schools and teach them to the students of the world.
But then Ying Chong felt frustrated again, thinking to himself how to define, what is beneficial learning? I'm afraid that the scholars and doctors in the world won't approve of it, right?
I think that Wang Yangming's 'unity of knowledge and action' is right, and the combination of ideals and practice is indeed the truth of life. But that heart is right, but it is wrong, and sooner or later it will cause the world to sink.
The principle of all things is nothing more than that my heart is wrong, and the principle of heaven is the right of human desire, which corrects the Confucian idea of 'preserving heavenly reason and destroying human desire'.
This science and psychology only need to neutralize the two, that is, each takes its own strengths?
But that Wang Yangming wouldn't think so, would he? He must have regarded himself as an evil demon.
If he dared to do this in the future, it would be tantamount to being the enemy of the world, although it was also funny.
Shaking his head, Ying Chong put away his thoughts. Then he found that in the lecture hall where he was at the moment, Wang Yangming had already left the stage, and on the podium, there had been a scholar he didn't know.
At this time, in this scripture hall, there were already many scholars who came to Wang Yangming, and they left one after another. Ying Chong also intended to leave, but he listened to the person on the podium talking about the wealth of the people. He paid a little attention and stayed to listen quietly for a while.
But when Ying Chong heard these words, he immediately sneered disdainfully, got up and took Ying Yue'er, and went out together.
It's just that he walked out of the door, and he heard a person behind him laugh and ask: "Your Excellency just sneered in court, as if you don't think about the people's wealth?"
Ying Chong raised his eyebrows and looked behind him, but saw a man in a moon white robe, standing next to the door frame with a smile.
He came specifically to listen to Wang Yangming's lecture this time, so he naturally disguised himself and only dressed as an ordinary scholar, so as not to cause a commotion due to his identity. Therefore this one did not recognize him.
"The theory of people's wealth is good, but it is misinterpreted by that person, what good is it to listen to?"
Ying Chong smiled and looked this person up and down, but he didn't feel anything different about the other party, but he still asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, Gao's surname?"
It is precisely because of the lack of awareness that people are amazed. Looking at this person's clothes, he seems to be a person from Yuelu Academy. The scholars who may be sent by Yuelu to participate in the Ten Palaces Contest must have strengths, which are different from ordinary scholars.
"Under Liu Ji!"
The young man smiled, also with an inquiring eye, looking at Ying Chong opposite, and then he showed a stunned look: "Your Excellency's face is really interesting-"
Ying Chong's eyes couldn't help but stare at him: "Liu Ji?
"Exactly! Wu Liu Ji, I have seen His Highness!"
Liu Ji bowed deeply and bowed deeply to Yingchong: "As expected by the students, His Royal Highness must be the king of Wu'an County of Great Qin, undoubtedly?"
"Mr. Liu, please, there is no need for such a lot of courtesy in front of this king. ”
Ying Chong did not deny it, raised his hand to help Liu Ji up, and asked with a smile: "Mr. is here to listen to Wang Yangming's preaching?"
The one in front of him, although Guo Jia did not recommend it, he also praised it.
It is necessary that this person is not only young, but has already advanced to the forest of heavenly yin and yang scholars. His level as a strategist is also top-notch. In order to use the body of Wu people, shake the entire Great Chu and become the four lins of Yuelu.
Although Ying Chong didn't think that he could recruit a Yuelu Qilin like Liu Ji, a star of hope, the one in front of him undoubtedly had the qualifications to make him a corporal and treat each other as equals.
Liu Ji shook his head, "No, the students are here for the people's wealth theory." Recently, this person has been making a great deal of publicity about this, and it is very popular with scholars from all walks of life,"
Ying Chong secretly sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face: "Then Mr. Liu, also agree with his words?"
"I just want to listen to His Highness's high arguments! His Highness is in Daqin, and he is the same party as An Shigong, so he must also agree with his learning?"
Liu Ji laughed: "I have listened to Wang Fuzhi for three days, but there are still some questions, I don't understand it very well, so I dare to ask His Highness today." ”
Ying Chong didn't speak, only made a gesture of invitation. Liu Ji understood, so he continued to ask: "Mr. Wang said that the husband is rich, the mother of the poor, and the upper and lower dependents, and he raises the people for the Son of Heaven, and he must not destroy this sentence, does His Highness think it is wrong?"
That's right. ”
Ying Chong's expression was calm, and this sentence was not wrong. The rich people of Daqin indeed raised many tenant slaves, and they also managed their birth, old age, sickness and death.
Just like his Wu'an Palace, there are nearly 200,000 hectares of land and 200,000 tenants. Not only do you have to use the fields to support them, but when you are sick and mourning, you also need to ask for money.
"However, if the rich do not pay taxes, how can it benefit the country? And if the annexation continues, like the Zhou and Jin dynasties, the royal family has no place to stand, and the minister is so rich that his mouth is full of oil?
Liu Ji thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's not that the rich don't pay taxes, so what Wang Fuzhi means is just advocating light taxes and thin taxes." ”
"Light taxes and thin taxes? The Great Qintian tax is one out of ten, the commercial tax is one out of ten, and the tariff is the lowest in the seven countries. Only armaments and luxuries were heavily taxed. But even so, there are still many hidden households in private land, and some people smuggle and evade taxes. It can be seen that the greed of the human heart-"
After Ying Chong finished speaking, he asked again: "After the imperial court exempts the tax, will the rich give tenants a reduction in rent?
Liu Ji pondered for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. I thought that those wealthy people were not so kind-hearted, and those who really had good intentions did not dare to easily lower the tenant rent and increase the commission, so as not to become the target of public criticism.
However, he then questioned: "It is also beneficial to the landed people to give a small amount of money." ”
"But how much of the land is in the hands of the households?"
Ying Chong sneered again: "As far as this king knows, Mr.'s original hometown is Wu State, and he has fifty percent of his land so far, and he is in the right hand of Shijiahao, which is the same as my Great Qin." And the state of Chu is even higher, with sixty percent of it!"
When he said this, Ying Chong waved his sleeves again: "The so-called hiding wealth from the people is actually just hiding wealth from wealth! Therefore, instead of paying for it, Daqin let these silver coins fall into the hands of the rich, either stored in the cellar and moldy, or stored in the money bank, or continued to annex the land. It would be better to impose heavy taxes on the fields of the rich, so that the money can be used by the imperial court. ”
Liu Ji pondered carefully for a moment, and then his eyes lit up again: "Your Highness only said that you would impose heavy taxes on the rich people's fields, isn't it?"
Ying Chong Wan'er, thinking that this person really has a delicate heart.
Yes, this king is not opposed to the wealthy running a business, but thinks that more needs to be encouraged. The saying that the wealth is hidden in the people is also the truth, but I feel that in this era, we should pay more attention to the propertied people. When I say so, is my husband satisfied?"
The corners of Liu Ji's lips couldn't help but pick slightly: "So if His Royal Highness is in charge, what will he do?" )
