Chapter 424: Lack of Attitude
Tangjia Village.
"Mr. Qin, I remember the last time we talked about the need to eliminate Confucianism in feudal society, and then establish the country with Taoism." By the Sun River, the two sat two meters apart and were leisurely fishing by the river.
Fishing and chatting at the same time.
"After establishing the country with Taoism, we will build a natural world and a natural society."
"It's just an idea of mine, an idea out of boredom." Qin Yu said, "You don't have to take it seriously at all."
"But Mr. Ke's idea, we think it's very feasible." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"In the ancient feudal dynasties, I am afraid that there is only one emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has a little chance to carry it out." Qin Yu said, "After all, Emperor Zhu is a very different person, and he is the only one who really wants to share the world with the people."
"In addition, after the baptism of the peasant uprising, the old aristocracy was overthrown, and the new aristocracy is still in the cradle stage."
"Emperor Zhu is completely able to control those neo-feudal nobles in the cradle, and he is brave enough to kill enough. Those people are not his opponents at all, and he will kill the founding heroes whenever he wants."
"Huh." was inadvertently slapped by Qin Yu, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt comfortable.
"It's a pity that because of the limitations of the times, no one in Emperor Zhu and the literati of that period had this kind of vision." Qin Yu continued.
"It is absolutely feasible to establish a country based on Taoism, because Taoism has been rooted in the Kyushu continent for thousands of years, which is longer than the history of Confucianism. Among the great masses of the people, there is a deep foundation of faith."
"Historical records record that after Confucius saw Lao Tzu, his thoughts were greatly impacted, and he didn't talk about it for three days."
Later, the disciple said, "Birds, I know they can fly; Fish, I know they can swim; Beast, I know it can go. The walker can be reckless, the traveler can be the lun, and the flyer can be the flyer. As for the dragon, I don't know that it rode the storm to the sky. I see Lao Tzu today, and he is like a dragon!"
"It can be seen that in front of Taoism, Confucianism is a younger brother."
"Since the country should be established by Taoism, why should we develop a hundred schools of thought and let a hundred schools govern the province?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Isn't this in conflict with the concept of building a country with Taoism?"
It is enough to establish the country with Taoism and develop Taoism, what does it mean to develop a hundred schools of thought?
"It's not a conflict." Qin Yu said, "The development of a hundred schools of thought is precisely in line with the basic principles of Taoism and Taoism."
"Imagine if there was only one animal in the forest......
"It was terrible."
"That's not nature's ecology at all."
"The ecology of nature is a hundred flowers blooming, and all kinds of animals are in a variety of forms."
"There is only one animal in the forest, and no matter how beautiful it is in appearance and docile in character, it is a disaster. And over time, this animal will deteriorate and harm the forest environment."
"Rabbits are cute, aren't they? Not cruel. In the past, rabbits were brought to Australia, but because they had no natural predators, their numbers grew to billions, and as a result, they brought great disasters to the local ecology."
"The grass on the grassland is eaten bare, and the living space of other animals is crowded."
"And this?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
In his mind, he didn't have the concept of species overflowing.
"The same is true when it comes to governing feudal dynasties." Qin Yu said, "Legend has it that in Tianzhu in ancient times, there was a country called the Motoro Dynasty. The emperor of the Motoro dynasty gave birth to ten thousand sons."
"Then the king gave his 10,000 sons to rule the kingdom."
"All the managers are a family, and the prefect of a certain place committed a heinous crime, and after being punished with three glasses of wine by the imperial historian who came to supervise, he was transferred to another place to continue to be the prefect."
"Officials with different surnames protect each other, let alone brothers?"
"To put it simply, if there is only one Taoist, it is impossible to govern the feudal dynasty well. If it were not his enemy, it would flood like a rabbit."
"What was good turned out to be bad."
"Therefore, although Taoism is good, it cannot only develop itself."
"Because it's not ecological at all."
"Uh-huh." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We understand. The development of the hundred schools of thought is inherently in line with the basic Taoist concept of "Taoism and Nature."
"A healthy ecology must have thousands of species of plants and animals."
"A hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred beasts run."
"By the way, sir." Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Let the hundred families of Zhuzi manage the province, do you think they can manage it well?" Do they have that ability? After all, in the pre-Qin period, none of them had any experience in managing prefectures and counties."
"All the sons and hundreds of schools of thought are all ideas that have been abandoned by the countries of the Spring and Autumn Period."
"It's not easy to manage a province."
"A province is huge, larger than a small country in the Spring and Autumn period, and its population has grown by several times. The scholarly class and the local gentry colluded to wield great intertwined power......
"If all the sons and hundreds of schools are not well governed, resulting in the people not living well, then the Jixia School Palace will become a laughing stock in the world."
You, the dean, don't look good on your face.
"I think they can all hand in a satisfactory answer." Qin Yu said.
"Why is Sir so confident in them?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this, "You must know that all the sons and hundreds of schools have no actual governance experience, and the territory under management is bigger than the dreams of the sages."
"And each of their thoughts has shortcomings."
"Why does Sir think that the hundreds of schools of thought will be able to hand in satisfactory answers?"
"Because of profit." Qin Yu said, "Whether or not the province can be managed well is related to the core interests of the hundred schools."
"Driven by their core interests, they will surely tremble and walk on thin ice when they govern. Wholeheartedly for the people."
"Indeed!" Zhu Yuanzhang deeply agreed when he heard this. He had already received a secret report, and after learning that he was going to be dragged out to govern the province, the hundred families were indeed in a state of fear and trembling.
This governance of the province is related to the life and death of hundreds of families, and there is the possibility of leaving a stench for 10,000 years. They were already so frightened that several sacrificial wines had the idea of abdicating and making way for the virtuous.
"No matter who you are, if you can use this mentality to govern a place, it will be difficult to govern it badly." Qin Yu said, "Remember, whether you can govern a place well, attitude is the most crucial."
"There was no shortage of talents in ancient China, what was lacking was attitude."
"And it is closely related to their own interests, which can prompt the hundreds of schools of thought to govern their provinces with the most upright attitude."
"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang deeply agreed, "The core interests of life and death will stimulate the greatest potential of hundreds of schools. As long as they have the right attitude, no matter how bad they are, they can't do much worse."
