"Let's talk a little bit more about the word 'interests.'" Qin Yu pulled up the fishing rod, and after finding that it was an empty hook, Shi Shiran hung the bait on the hook, and then threw the rod into the river and continued.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”

"People die for money, birds die for food."

"It's all about profit."

"Creatures in nature fight for nests, and male animals fight to the death for mates. These natural behaviors of theirs are all for the sake of competing for interests. ”

"It can be seen that it is the nature of living beings to pursue profits, and there is no shame."

"The pursuit of interests should not be a derogatory term, it is the way of heaven."

"The pursuit of profit by man is the same as the nature of the various natural behaviors of thousands of living beings in nature."

"That's why the Yellow Emperor said in the "Sutra", 'The beneficiary is also the Tao.'" All living beings in the natural world will die because of profit, and human beings are also natural to pursue profit. The Tao is natural, so the pursuit of self-interest is the way of heaven. ”

"Let the people of the world give up the pursuit of their own interests and not ask for anything in return, then it is against the way of heaven."

"Is there anyone in the world who doesn't ask for anything in return, but only knows how to give?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Of course there is, Confucianism, isn't it?" Qin Yu said, "Not only do they let people pay without asking for anything in return, but they even ask others to pay for their lives, such as killing themselves, sacrificing their lives for righteousness, and sacrificing themselves for others." ”

"They ask people to pay for their 'ideals', not for their nests, food, clothing, ......"

"Such behavior is destined to be unpaid for by them."

"For example, in Cao Rong, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, during the invasion of the Eight Kingdoms, the people carried ladders for foreigners."

"I'm disgusted with some people who talk about egoism. Let's ask ourselves, can people really do it against themselves? When you're hungry and want to eat, isn't it self-interested? If you want to wear clothes when it's cold, isn't it self-interested? ”

"Since people will be hungry and cold, then they will find ways to feed themselves and wear warm clothes, so they must benefit themselves."

"Humans are more advanced than animals, so people will also seek benefits other than food and clothing."

"Self-interest is nature."

"Burning yourself like a candle to illuminate others?"

"Candles don't go hungry, they don't fear the cold."

"To compare inanimate things to flesh-and-blood people is outrageous in itself."

"Sir's words, full of rhyme!" After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. In the past, when he was a monk, when he heard others say something more reasonable, he would say that other people's words contained Zen skills.

What he said now was that Qin Yu's words were full of rhyme.

"With the 5,000-year history of China, why has natural science not developed since the Qin Dynasty? Why did the entire land of Kyushu fall into the continuous cycle of feudal dynasties? Qin Yu continued,

"Lift the fog."

"I found that there were only two words in it, benefit."

"The feudal aristocracy and the ruling class, in order to safeguard their own interests, chose Confucianism that suited their own interests."

In the same way, they are also for their own interests, using the art of controlling the people, and suppressing the people without a bottom line. The foolish, weak, poor, and humiliating people have made the entire Chinese people lose their creativity. ”

"Someone asked the Empress Dowager Cixi, who is more hateful in the United States or Tsarist Russia. Cixi didn't even think about it, Tsarist Russia wanted land, just give some land. Although the United States was helpful to the Qing Dynasty, he demanded that the Qing Dynasty establish a constitution, surround the town fishermen, and separate powers, and must be incompatible. It can be seen from this that the feudal ruling class, for its own interests, can sell its land at will. ”

"Everything is for profit."

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this, "All living beings in the world, including all human behaviors, are almost driven by interests. ”

"The pursuit of profit is the way of heaven, and birds know that they are desperate for a bite to eat, let alone people? Whoever wants to stop people from pursuing profit is going against the sky. Qin Yu said, "And those who go against the sky will eventually lead to failure." ”

"The failure of thousands of years of feudal history in China, the backwardness of scientific civilization and others for hundreds of years."

"The key to this is that the feudal aristocracy, which occupies a minority, in order to consolidate its own interests. Do everything possible to prevent the majority of the people at the bottom from reasonably pursuing their own interests. ”

"Then try your best to oppress the people, and the oppression is too hard."

"As a result, they have been struggling for food and clothing all their lives, and there is no room for invention and creativity."

"The wisdom of the ancients in China was relatively high, and 'sages' such as Laozi, Confucius, and Mozi appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. And the 'bad guys' with high IQs will do bad things, and the more destructive they will be. ”

"They continued to change and develop Confucianism, and finally formed a complete and almost flawless ideological control system."

"As a result, this land has stagnated for more than a thousand years without development."

"In ancient times, some ambitious emperors, talented people with lofty ideals could not see this because they ignored Taoism. As a result, they have empty ambitions and can't do anything big. ”

"Profit is the lever that leverages everything."

"If you can make reasonable use of the lever of 'profit', you will find that it is not so difficult to do things. It turns out that it is not a difficult thing to govern the dynasty well. ”

"Let's say this time."

"If the vital interests of the hundred schools of thought are tied to whether they can govern the province well, they will try their best to govern the province well. Even if they have shortcomings, they can also hand over a satisfactory answer to the court. ”

"Therefore, the key to whether the dynasty can be governed well is, in the final analysis, to regulate interests?" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have realized something.

If you want an official to do things for the people, you have to tie his personal interests with the interests of the people. Let the people have the right to decide whether they go or stay, and the people have the most say in whether the people are doing well or not.

Instead of sending the imperial history to supervise, the supervision of the imperial history cannot speak on behalf of the people.

If you want the Keju team to play well, you have to link their stay and their fortune to win or lose.

If you want to make a lot of friends quickly in an unfamiliar place, you just need to get some money out.

"Profit is a master key." Qin Yu said, "From all aspects of the lives of the people in the market to the governance of the dynasty, all of them are practical. ”

"Taoism has mastered the basic law of the operation of all things in heaven and earth - birds die for food, and all things die for evil and live happily."

"Therefore, Taoism regards the pursuit of profit by all living beings, including human beings, as the most basic need of life, and as the way of heaven."

Confucianism, on the other hand, uses morality to kidnap the subjects, so that the subjects selflessly pay for the ruling class and are loyal to the monarch for no reason. This is undoubtedly contrary to the way of heaven and the essence of all things pursuing their own interests. ”

"Historical experience has also told us countless times that Confucianism violated the way of heaven and only used the cage of thought to kidnap the people morally, which led to the backwardness of civilization and led to the change of dynasty once in 300 years."
