Chapter 819 Chapter [-] Untitled

The river flows leisurely and walks along the simple dike. Near the dike and fields, there are also houses and small threshing grounds. During the planting of trees, pedestrians pass by the road leading to the market not far away. , occasionally looking this way.Ning Yi led He Wen to the small courtyard by the river bank.

"...Promoting the development of literacy through commerce and war, and using the advancement of productivity to enable people in the world to start reading, this is the first step that must be taken. And in the end of this road, I hope that the people can grasp the truth and logic, Make up for the shortcomings of top-down innovation, so that bottom-up supervision can digest the solidified interests and negative causes that are constantly generated in this society. Of course, there are a lot of ways to go."

Ning Yi smiled and said: "My wife Liu Xigua, very much advocates the concept of handing over power to individuals. She tries to enable the people in the Ba Dao Camp to rely on self-selection and rational voting to control their own destiny. Of course, so long has passed. Now, everything can only be said to be in a budding state. The people in the Ba Dao Camp believed her and followed her tossing, but whether this choice can make people get good results, she herself has no confidence, and the result may be the opposite. Yes. I don't advocate voting autonomy at this stage, and I often debate with her. If she can't say anything, she will beat me... Of course, she can't beat me, but it's not good, and it affects... family harmony. "

Ning Yi's words were humorous, and He Wen also smiled. He had been in the Black Flag for three years, and he naturally understood what kind of skills Liu Xigua from the Dominant Sword Camp had.

"The key to making a correct choice is not reading or even knowledge. Even if a person can memorize all the knowledge in the world, he is not necessarily a person who can make a correct choice. The key to a correct choice lies in logic. Confucianism... or in other words, in the early stage of development, because it is impossible to explain everything to everyone, it is more for people to form a conventional concept. You have to be a good person and you have to speak morality.' A man of propriety is the leader of loyalty and disorder, good people, morality, whether it is propriety or righteousness..."

As Ning Yi spoke, He Wen's face sank: "Mr. Ning, you are going too far! Morality is the foundation of human beings. If there is no morality, what is the difference between humans and beasts! Your words..."

"Why do people have to be different from animals!?" Ning Yi gave him a sideways look, "I want to be a beast today, not a human being, will the sky throw a thunderbolt down on me! Why should I be a good person, why should I have morality, you say If you have the righteousness, then you really can't ask it!? This is the last question leading to logic! If morality is absolutely righteous, it is born, so why do you need to learn and teach, and why do you need to resort to ritual!"

He Wen's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed. He stopped in place: "That's... I want to ask Mr. Ning for advice!" When he came to the Black Flag Army, he knew that it was almost impossible to persuade Ning Yi with words alone. , and after three years of getting along with him, he also has some admiration for Ning Yi in his heart, and he is unwilling to fight with his tongue at this time.As Ning Yi said, Confucianism is powerful, after all, there is a problem, so no matter how he talks about the greatness of Confucianism, he cannot touch the core of the other party.He Wen knew that he was going to leave, so he understood what Ning Yi was thinking and then left. The debate was not enthusiastic, but Ning Yi's sentence "why be a good person, why be moral" really touched his bottom line. Yes, at this time, it also became tougher.

Ning Yi turned his head and stood there, saying word by word, "Be a good person and be a moral person. The ultimate goal is because doing so can safeguard the long-term interests of all without breaking the cycle of interests."

He Wen was silent for a moment, then sneered: "There are only interests in this world."

"Since Mr. He is taboo about interests, he might as well replace them with needs. People in the world need not only money, but also spiritual stability and the realization of self-worth. Since ancient people formed a society and began to cooperate, the essence of cooperation lies in Meet the various needs of human beings. The needs are short-term and long-term. In order to make the cooperation between people continue for a long time, the saints you think have summed up the various laws that need to be followed when people get along with each other, and in the later development People gradually know more and more rules that need to be followed by convention, which we call morality.”

"In the past of Confucianism, everyone couldn't read it, and there was no way to explain the truth to this stage. Therefore, these are things that do not need to be discussed, but only need to be followed. For thousands of years, people really feel that these do not need to be discussed. . But the problem with it is, if one day, I don't want to be a good person, I am immoral, will God punish me? I will even gain short-term, more benefits, and slowly, I feel benevolence and righteousness Morality is false."

After Ning Yi said this, he turned around and walked forward: "The morality of the past taught many people to be good people. Okay, now good people are justified, and ordinary people will immediately deny everything if they see a little bit of 'bad'. As I said, two interest groups are fighting against each other. They both say that the other is bad, and the other wants money. Can ordinary people make the best possible choice among them? The paper mill is polluted, and one person comes out to say that the pollution There will be big problems. We say that this person is a bad person, so what the bad person says is naturally bad, so there is no need to think about it. As I said before, ordinary people whose basic cognition of the world is wrong to this extent, His choice of right and wrong is actually a matter of fate.”

"When we can start to ask this question, and let the relationship between morality and good people depend on each individual, then of course they can make a more correct choice. Under the existing conditions, the interests of society can be transferred to The longer and the longer, the better option. At least they won't be confused by the no-nonsense bullshit."

While saying this, the two walked into the courtyard by the river bank.He Wen knew that this courtyard belonged to the Jishan Chamber of Commerce, but it had never been in the future. After entering, it was also an ordinary three-entry courtyard. Several staff who looked like accountants walked outside. There seemed to be a conference room in the courtyard. work room.

Ning Yi pointed to the conference room and said, "There have been several discussions here, about the game principle in the development of the market. A big concept of the game principle is that in a market composed of countless people, when everyone can When considering the industry itself, the average value obtained by everyone is the highest. The same is true for society. When everyone in a society tries to abide by ethics, everyone can get the most benefits. This cognition, in In the later stage, we hope that it can be proved mathematically that it is enough to become a foundational theory of a society."

Ning Yi said these words, He Wen didn't understand clearly, but saw him shaking his head: "However, the development of society is often not an optimal system, but a sub-optimal system, and it can only be regarded as an illustrative theory for the time being. He said, it's not easy to do, Mr. He, go inside..." He sounded like he was talking to himself, and he didn't seem to intend for He Wen to understand.

Passing through the atrium and entering the innermost courtyard, the afternoon sun is quietly falling. The courtyard is quiet and no one is there. Ning Yi opens the house in the middle. There are bookshelves in the room. There are three tables in the middle, piles of manuscript paper. It was pressed on the table with stones, and there were some pen and ink inkstones and other objects next to it, which seemed to be an office place.

"Sit casually, there are not many people here. I came back last fall, and every time I come to Jishan, I will call some trustworthy and wise young people here, let them think about it, and then write down some exams. the subject of..."

Ning Yi pointed to the manuscript paper on the table, and He Wen picked it up and looked at it.

"As I said, I don't trust the people's choices now, because they don't understand logic, so promote logic. Confucianism, the way of the gentleman, and the democracy we are talking about are ultimately for people to be independent. All knowledge is actually They all end in the same way. In the end, the brilliance of human nature is the greatest. What my wife Liu Xigua thinks is to hope that in the end, the people can take the initiative to choose the emperor they want, or they can choose the emperor they want. It doesn't matter. , those are all details. But the most important thing is how to achieve it.”

"Then let's take the test." Ning Yi raised his hand, "What you have in your hand is the passport to the citizen... its waste product and prototype. These questions we asked require it to be relatively complex and dialectical. , and can relatively accurately point out the laws of social operation. Here I will not say that shouting slogans is a good person, so a simple good person, we do not need him to participate in the operation of the country, what we need is to understand the complex laws of the operation of the world, And can not be discouraged, not extreme, in the title, the person who seeks the middle... Of course, it is impossible to achieve at the beginning."

He Wen flipped through the manuscript and saw the description of "pollution", Ning Yi turned around, walked to the door, and looked at the light outside: "If we can really defeat the Jurchen and the world can be stabilized, we will build many factories to satisfy people's needs. Let them read, and finally let them start voting. It doesn’t matter what they are involved in. Before voting, there must be an exam, the exam questions… Let’s just say ten questions, these are the complicated questions that cannot be answered, and there is no referendum. right."

He tilted his head to look at He Wen: "This exam can be discussed, plagiarized, and one year before the exam, the questions can be released for them to discuss. In this way, the first batch of people, as long as You can write numbers, you can have the power of citizens, and you have a voice for the country. Then every five years or ten years, these topics will be replaced by a few according to the development of the society, so that everyone in the society can understand the complexity of these topics and try their best to To understand the basic model of how the state works, let it penetrate into the classroom of every school, penetrate every aspect of every culture, and become the foundation of a state.”

"Then, these topics require thousands of trials, billions of discussions and refinements, and need to gather all the wisdom and cultural highlights..."

He Wen clenched the manuscript papers, raised his head, and gritted his teeth: "These issues will make all the people speak for the benefit, make all morality and etiquette imbalance, and will become the cause of chaos!"

"Yeah, of course there will be chaos." Ning Yi nodded, "Confucian society is based on reason, reason and law, and it has long penetrated into everyone's heart, but a real Datong society must be based on reason and law, with emotion as the foundation. Auxiliary. If people all talk about short-sighted benefits in the immediate future, it will be a mess, but if each of these topics talks about long-term benefits, the core of it will be the principle of law and affection! 'Four people' 'Equality', 'Quality' and 'Contract', their common ground is that they are all based on reason, and every cent can be clearly analyzed. the real purpose."

"There will be chaos in the world, and there will be chaos in the world..." He Wen said solemnly, "It's clear, why do you..."

"Of course there will be chaos." Ning Yi nodded again, "If I fail, it will be nothing more than a country that has been replaced in 200 years. What a pity. However, the yearning for the people's independence will be engraved in everyone's heart. Confucianism Castration can no longer be complete. They will burn like a spark from time to time, and people want to be independent, they can only be based on reason, success or failure, I will fall behind the starting point of change. As long as the study of Gewu is left , This change will not be a castle in the air."

"Every generation in the past, when it comes to change, it is from top to bottom. To go from top to bottom, it must be the same party to fight against differences. Only by tying the interests themselves to each and every one of the people, let them effectively and effectively defend them. The rights and interests of everyone, the so-called group of gentlemen without the party, will really appear. When you are an official and do something, they will lend their power to you, and they will become part of your correct proposition and lend their power to You, in order to defend your own interests, will not pursue excessive returns. All this will only be possible when the base of the people's understanding reaches a certain level."

He took a breath: "He Wen, it's good that you can see the complexity and chaos clearly. However, do you really have to follow the path of Confucianism? When you walk out of this mountain, what you see will be a The deadlock is getting bigger and bigger. Confucius said, repay grievances directly, say that the monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the son. He criticized Zilu for accepting the cow. He said that the world will only become better when everyone understands the truth and reason. When the productivity is not enough, it is expedient Almost 2000 years later, Gewu will promote productivity and give a possibility that is no longer expedient. It’s time to go back.”

"My students are good in practical knowledge, but they are still not enough in deeper knowledge. They don't think well about these topics. If one day I defeat the Jurchens, I can summon the world's great Confucian scholars Come to participate in the discussion and formulate questions, but you can also do it first. There are already some Confucian scholars in the Huaxia Army who are doing this, most of them are in Hedeng, but it is definitely not enough. After ten or twenty years of refinement, I ask for ten questions. If you can figure it out, you can stay and make a question. If you can’t figure it out, but you are still willing to stay for Jingmei, you can do your best to refute and oppose them, and argue against all these questioners.”

"If there are neither of these two possibilities." Ning Yi paused, "then go home, I wish you the path to Confucianism."

He Wen held the manuscript paper and shook it in the air, his eyes were stern, Ning Yi smiled: "Before you left, you just wanted to know what medicine I sold in my gourd, and I told you sincerely, think more about it. If you want to argue against me, you are welcome." After he finished speaking, someone had already signaled by the door to let him go to the next meeting, "I have something else to do, so I will go first. If possible... Treat Jingmei well. ."

Ning Yi left from here, and there were members of the Huaxia Army waiting for He Wen outside the room.The afternoon sun shines through the door and the windows, and the dust dances in the light. He sits on the stool in the room and flips through the rough and difficult topics. Due to the complexity of Ning Yi's requirements, these topics are often obscure and difficult to speak, and are often difficult to understand. There are traces of various alterations, and there are also some scrapped words in the manuscript paper:
"...from the basic idea of ​​physics and the observation of the world and society in which human beings live, we can see this basic rule: in the society in which human beings live, all conscious and affectable changes are made by every Under the guidance of this basic rule, in order to seek the fairness and justice that human society can realistically achieve and jointly seek, we believe that human beings are born with the following reasonable and legal rights: [-]. The right to live …”

This article seems to have been written casually, and the handwriting is very scribbled, or maybe because these things seem like tongue-in-cheek nonsense, the person who wrote it did not continue to write it.He Wen roughly read him and other nonsense questions, and his mind was in a mess. These things would obviously cause huge disasters. He put down the manuscript and even thought that Confucianism might really be destroyed by it... …

After walking out of the courtyard and returning to the school, he packed up his things and did not intend to continue teaching at the school.This evening when he came home with a book in his hand, someone jumped out from the side and punched him in the face.

**********************
After looking at it, the high order set passed [-] with difficulty yesterday.thank you all.

　In the history of farming and writing, there is a problem. What kind of system do you finally come up with in the first half of this book? Someone said, you write so many questions, and you have to answer them in the end. How do you answer the questions? Here is the answer.Regarding the system, the opposite is second.This is a must have in a book.

Beyond the story: the government and the people restrict each other and can promote each other, but if they really want to promote each other, the quality of the people must reach a certain level.Many people think that our society has reached a high point now that the whole people are studying, and that is the highest point.Actually not.

The reading of all people is a state that has only been realized in the past few decades. The May Fourth Movement also enlightened people, vernacular Chinese, simplified characters... the whole process and exploration have not been further deepened.Confucian culture is 3000 years old, and the exploration of knowledge popularization has not been carried out for 200 years. I don't believe that the quality of people is what it is now.

This is the only new path that we have not traveled. In the next 200 years, this may be our only remaining chance to break through.

I don't write deeply, and some people say, I already know, what connotations are you pretending to be bananas, you are not a philosopher.I'm not, what I do is this: I break apart all the esoteric things and write them down in a way that even people without any knowledge base can understand... If someone says he knows everything I say, but doesn't I know why I do it, and I don't believe it
There may be fallacies in these ideas. If you are really interested, you can read some famous works and monographs that really involve philosophy, or just use your brains, which is also a good thing.
