"It's important to have a clear picture of what we're going to do with the people."
Lu Hanqiang told all the henchmen sitting around him his decision.
"Will this make the people flee and panic," Zhao Zi said with a worried frown.
"The sage said, the people may, let it be, let it be, can't, make it known.
We just want to let them know what to do, so that they can do it willingly, so that our team can be more stable and more combative.
Lu Hanqiang patiently explained to this literati.
Zhao Zi and Wang Gonggong, one of whom had read the book of sages in the imperial examination and the other in the palace, were dumbfounded by Lu Hanqiang's words of the sage at that time.
"No, the people can let it be done, but they can't know it.
That's right. ” Lu Hanqiang pouted: "That's your misreading, misreading for thousands of years, you know, I am explaining this correctly, so it makes sense." ” There have been two sayings about Kong Laoer's sentence in modern times: One is that the state rules over the people, and it is enough to drive them to do things, and not to let them understand what they are doing.
From the current point of view, it is absolutely obvious that the feudal ruling class has been playing with the foolish civil rights trick for thousands of years, the little people, let them know that it is best to do so much is to be dazed, only to know that according to our will to live a life of mediocrity This admonition is not not vicious, it has been regarded as a treasure by China's feudal rulers for thousands of years, and how much truth and people's creativity have been obliterated.
This is what Zhao Zi and Wang Gonggong are thinking now.
In fact, this is also a kind of coercion.
But at the same time, our question arises, is such a trick of fooling the people really the original intention of Confucius, an educator who is dedicated to educating the people?
We know that there was no punctuation in the articles of the Spring and Autumn Period, and if later generations want to study the articles of that time, they have to go through a process of "sentence breaks", that is, they add punctuation and pauses in the appropriate places of the sentences according to the meaning of the context, so as to arrive at a sentence with a smooth and coherent meaning.
One of the reasons why Confucius's writings have been quoted so much by later generations is, of course, due to Confucius's own fame, and secondly, because his quotations cover a very wide range and cover almost all aspects of social life.
For example, in the current sentence "the people can make it, but they cannot know it", from the previous article, we Mr.
Confucius have been discussing the three kinds of education issues of poetry, rites and music, but how can it suddenly become a precept to teach the art of imperial power.
It turns out that this is the reason why later generations took the sentence out of context with ulterior motives and deliberately used an inappropriate "sentence break" in the middle of the sentence to make the sentence ambiguous.
Combined with the context, we can easily conclude the correct way to sentence this sentence: Zi said: Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, and become happy.
The people may, let it be, and not, make it known. ” The whole sentence of Confucius is that poetry, etiquette, and music are the basis for educating the people, and we must do a good job of them, and if the people master poetry, etiquette, and music, we should let them play freely, and if the people still can't play these things, we must educate them and let them know and understand these things.
You see, this is the original intention of Mr.
Kong, a great educator who "has education without class".
In a good sentence, it was turned into a foolish trick by Confucius to fool the people and obstruct the people's knowledge and reasoning and seek knowledge.
Second, it means that when a person in a position of power instructs the people, sometimes he can only make the people obey the instructions of the ruler, and cannot make the people fully understand the intentions of the rulers.
Zhao Zi already has immunity to Lu Hanqiang's fallacies, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that what Lu Hanqiang said is still reasonable.
But the prince was confused.
Regardless of his confusion, Lu Hanqiang still insisted on his own way of action.
"What if the people hear about your decision, what if they run away" The little fat man made a similar point.
"I think that the people know the danger of our road ahead, in fact, they already know the danger of our road ahead, so if we talk to him again, it will make them feel that we are not fooling him or deceiving him, and they will think carefully about whether this thing can be done, and I think that as long as they think about it, they will definitely go on with us."
Zhao Zi nodded lightly at this time, "Maybe that's fine, but after they figure it out, are they willing to go with us, after all, this is only more than two hundred miles away from the capital, and they can run back safely." ” Lu Hanqiang smiled slightly: "This is when I hired them, I needed them to have the willingness of their families, because there is a family behind them, no matter who they are, as long as they have a little conscience, they will have a sense of responsibility for the family, especially in our filial piety that has been cultivated for thousands of years and has melted into the bones, so that they would rather give up their lives and let their parents be safe and happy, isn't that the case?"
Everyone fully agrees with this point of view, and the prince even said in a low voice: "At the beginning, I just wanted my father and mother who were about to starve to death to live, so I took refuge in my current master, and was willing to become a eunuch, sacrificing my body, so that my parents could get a good death, and I have no regrets." ” Lu Hanqiang gently and sincerely bowed his hand to the prince.
"The salary I give them is one or two or five dollars of silver, which is absolutely the highest among the displaced people in the capital, and they can definitely let their families drink gruel three times a day, and the death pension stipulated at the beginning is also real money, if I tell them again, as long as they die in battle, not only will the pension be paid, but I will also arrange for one of his children to work in my newspaper office or teahouse, or in the trading house, then will they be more willing to stay If I tell them again, if they have no one to come out to work, And once they die in battle, then I will also give this two and a half yuan of wages to their families for ten years, do you say they will die willingly for the sake of the family's stability for ten years?"
The little fat man couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open.
Zhang Zihan whispered: "In this troubled world, when human life is not as good as a dog, Brother Qiang has such conditions, and I am beginning to worry that some people will take the initiative to seek death, and change the life of their family members to be healthy." ” Very tired, very tired, the water finally receded, and I couldn't open my eyes, thank you brothers for cheering t1706231537:
