Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 248 The complete opposite, the shackles added

"A gift from the world?"

Gu Dan was thoughtful, but his scope was too broad, "Which kind of gift in the world?"

"all."

Xun Ke said seriously.

The world refers to all living beings, and it also means to understand the four fields.

"Oh? Like?"

Gu Dan frowned slightly.

As the Minister of Rites today, if Xun Ke wants to change some etiquette, it is really nothing.

But since Qin Lisheng's strong opposition can be aroused, it can be seen that his ambition is not small, and it is by no means a simple change.

"For example, stipulate the standards that the emperor can exercise, the standards between officials of different levels, the standards for wealthy merchants, and the standards for common people"

Xun Ke said without hesitation, obviously the draft has been finalized and preparations have been made.

Gu Dan's brows were deeply wrinkled.

In an instant, he understood what Xun Ke meant.

But it was precisely because of this that his brows were furrowed.

It is a nice way to say that it is a ritual to set the world.

It's not a pleasant statement, it should be called to put a layer of shackles on everyone.

In the name of etiquette, there are layers of restrictions on individuals, and if they do not reach a certain status, they will be trapped forever.

Gu Dan definitely wouldn't like this.

Of course, if you want to think about it from a practical level, no matter how complicated and restrictive etiquette Xun Ke formulates, he can't control him.

Because he himself is the pinnacle of the world, in this world of personal might, if he possesses enough power, he will be able to escape from the cage, with few constraints.

Similarly, Wang Mang, as the emperor, is himself the one who makes the rules.

No wonder he will firmly support Xun Ke.

Although the rituals will also restrict the supreme emperor, the emperor's approval must be obtained before the rituals are promulgated.

As long as he does not agree, it cannot be promulgated at all.

In this way, formulating the rituals of the world is nothing more than another good-sounding means of protecting the common people.

This is the reason why Qin Lisheng confronted him tit for tat and refused to give in to each other.

Although the Mohist school is most famous for its morality, the real core point of view of the Mohist school is universal love and non-aggression!

What is cum love?
There is no difference in love!

Mohism advocates that people love different people or things at the same time, regardless of their relatives or relatives.

Xun Ke is good. He wants to put a shackle on others first. What is your status, you can only do things within this status. If you go beyond it, you are overstepping.
This can't be said to be at odds with the Mohist school, it can only be said to directly dig into the core concepts of the Mohist school.

"You, do you know what you're talking about?"

Gu Dan stared at Xun Ke, a child who had grown up, with a stern expression.

"I know."

Xun Ke nodded.

"Then you also know that between this matter and the Mo family, there is absolutely only room for one?"

Gu Dan asked again.

"I know."

Xun Ke continued to nod.

"Then you should also know that these etiquettes are of little use when they need to be followed, but they are useless when they are not prepared to follow them?"

Gu Dan also asked.

"I know."

Xun Ke still nodded.

"Since you know everything, why bring it up?"

"Because it's the best way I can think of."

Xun Ke's expression was solemn. He definitely didn't have any intention of joking, and this matter couldn't tolerate half a joke, "The etiquette I'm going to specify doesn't matter at all to the real low-level people. Those who really want to restrict , Those tyrants, wealthy businessmen, aristocratic families, and even royal nobles!

These people are the ones who can't be paid up no matter how they are killed or paid up!In the seventh year of the Xia Dynasty, the Mo family and several masters were dispatched, and almost bloodbathed the tyrants of the aristocratic families that remained in Dayue. It was only 13 years ago.

But now, let’s go out and have a look, and count them. Has the number of powerful families and rich merchants decreased?No, not at all!It's nothing more than another group of people!When Da Yue was still there, they drank Da Yue's blood, and if they changed the Xia Dynasty, it was just another group of people who drank blood. "

Xun Ke said sharply and decisively: "Some of these people who fill the vacancy again are outstanding and talented, and indeed they have the ability. Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots.

Maybe once or twice, maybe three or four times, but who can keep doing that?The result of continuing to do it will be nothing more than renunciation and morality, treating the symptoms but not the root cause!

But let them develop wantonly, the final result has been written over and over again in the history books!
If a country wants to maintain stability, it must ensure that it is as fair as possible.Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to guarantee this kind of fairness.It can't be done now, maybe it can't be done, since it is the case, it is better to simply set a customary rule for this world.This rule is not aimed at individuals, but is directly divided according to level.

Only in this way can it be regarded as prescribing the right medicine, instead of treating the head for the headache and the foot for the foot! "

Xun Ke talked endlessly, without any hesitation, "Mr. Gu, you have also seen the low-level people with your own eyes. For the real low-level people, if etiquette stipulates that they can only eat three regular meals a day, they can only wear clothes. Will black, gray and white clothes have any impact on their lives? Almost nothing!
But what if it is a wealthy businessman?A rich businessman has a lot of money, but etiquette forbids him to be extravagant, to wear gold and silver, or even to eat more than four dishes for a meal - will this make those wealthy businessmen less eager to collect money? Some? "

Of course, this is just an analogy. If you really want to formulate corresponding etiquette, it is definitely not a simple matter of one or two sentences.

The so-called etiquette education, etiquette education!

If you really want to master the world, be recognized by the people, and countless people consciously abide by it, what you need is the prestige of Xeon and sufficient time, until those things are engraved in the bones, it is not a simple matter of a word.

Gu Dan listened quietly to Xun Ke's narration.

When Xun Ke mentioned the word "level", Gu was worried that a huge wave had already set off.

Xun Ke has indeed seen the real key.

The level in his mouth is class.

And in order to deal with people of different classes, he brought out rituals.

Li, Li also!

If you don't follow the etiquette, you will be unreasonable.

If you don't take it for granted, you will have a reason to be criticized and even punished.

Since those rich businessmen and tycoons are always burning like wildfires and reborn when the spring breeze blows, then simply stop counting them one by one, which is too troublesome and has little effect.

Wouldn't it be good to directly find a way to target guys of this class?

Just like a wealthy businessman must be very rich, but I won’t let you spend it if you have it, let alone enjoy it and show it off.

In this case, the wealthy businessman's desire to collect money should be lessened, right?

It is no longer necessary to use various methods to plunder and suck the flesh and blood of the people.

After all, no matter how much money you earn, you can't surpass that level of etiquette!
"This is the best hope. If the etiquette continues, what will happen next?"

Although Gu Wozhong was a little shocked by Xun Ke's intelligence and quickness, and even felt that this is indeed a feasible method, the problem is also very obvious.

Etiquette, after all, is just another kind of power.

Just like a rich businessman couldn't eat four dishes before, wouldn't he still eat casually behind closed doors?It's nothing more than changing the place and causing them some trouble.

Everyone knows that rules are dead, but people are alive, and there are always smart people who will take advantage of loopholes.

Even if etiquette is set up as an obstacle, it is impossible to really involve all aspects.

Xun Ke's original intention is indeed very good, but it may not really work.

And the negative impact of this matter is also great.

He can formulate rituals, but later generations can't?

Now Wang Mang and Xun Ke may indeed want to do it with the intention of doing it for the good of the world, but after this group of people get old, Anzhi will not regard this as a purely imperial technique , directly forgetting the original intention, but using the change of etiquette to achieve his own purpose.

Compared with the effect that etiquette can have, this legacy is really not small at all, and it is by no means alarmist.

"In order to avoid changes from day to day, the etiquette itself must be restricted layer by layer. Whether it is the emperor or the ministers, precautions should be taken to prevent the etiquette from becoming a tool for personal profit."

Xun Ke's face didn't change at all. Obviously, he had thought about this a long time ago, "There is nothing wrong with choosing whether it is from the perspective of legitimacy, justice, or sanctity. But the problem now is that the first step has not yet been taken. , it is too early to talk about any restrictions.

But its effect is enough to make people try their best to do it! "

Xun Ke showed sufficient determination, since he met Gu Dan, he said that he has never left this matter.

"Moreover, the Xia Dynasty has been in existence for 20 years now. When the country was first established, there was a serious shortage of manpower, and many regulations followed the old system of Dayue. After so many years of development, the original problems are no longer problems, but the real There has never been a major overhaul and major revision.

If Xia Chao doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes and walk the path that Dayue walked again, he must make a different choice.I browsed through the classics and familiarized myself with the history books, and finally saw such a road. I firmly believe that it will make the Xia Dynasty better, at least it will last much longer than the Great Moon! "

Xun Ke said continuously.

Gu Dan was stunned.

I understand another reason why Xun Ke is so determined.

The Xia Dynasty is no longer a time of poverty and emptiness.

Nor is there a time when there are no hands available.

On the contrary, the Xia Dynasty at this time is constantly developing, and is even approaching its peak.

The people who participated in the creation of this country are still there, and they still have enough voice and the ability to change lanes and change directions.

Even Wang Mang, who had already added a little gray hair, was in the prime of his life.

If you don't make a decision and change at this time and wait another 20 years, it will be too late.

The blood of the past will be replaced, and the sufferings of the past will become stories and jokes in the books. Those new people who live in the prosperous and peaceful generation simply don’t understand what is called troubled times and what is called suffering. After tea and dinner, I shed two tears when I heard about it, and then I did what I should do, enjoying my current life with peace of mind and as a matter of course.

Of course, there is nothing to criticize. Isn't it for a stable life that the troubled times are peaceful?
But for those who have experienced the troubled times and loved ones died in the troubled times, everything is unforgettable.

Therefore, before the Xia Dynasty had really exerted its strength to run forward, Xun Ke had to put the shackles on Xia Chao's carriage first.

Those who do not plan for one life are not enough to plan for ten thousand lives.

He has never fancied that a set of etiquette is enough for generations to use.

But as long as it can make the Xia Dynasty last longer, make peace last longer, and make suffering approach more slowly, and then more slowly, it is worth it for him to do it.

After all, if the Xia Dynasty can't make any changes, it will be nothing more than the next big month.

As for the Mohists?

In the Xia Dynasty, although the Mohism was established as the state religion by Wang Mang, there are only a few thousand Mohists up to now, not even ten thousand!
The Mohists do not intervene in national policy, they can only guide the atmosphere.

What Xun Ke wants to do is to directly restrict it from the national level, but it happens that it is naturally inconsistent with the philosophy of Mohism, and it can even be said to be completely opposite.

"What you said makes sense."

After thinking for a long time, Gu Dan nodded lightly, without asking any more questions.

Even though in his opinion, the ritual of setting the world has various flaws, it is obvious that this thing can indeed maintain the long-term stability of a country.

As for a system that wants the best of both worlds, where is it?
No system is complete, and no matter how good the starting point is, it will be deformed in practice.

If you want to relax the control, it will inevitably lead to the merger of the powerful, the devaluation of the currency, and the nobles' self-respect.

Both systems and policies need to be adjusted dynamically and constantly changing according to the actual situation of the country.

Of course, this process will inevitably be entangled with disputes between selfishness and interests, but if you don’t do it because of this, then nothing can be done.

There is no one-step method, only step-by-step means.

Facing the current situation and future of the Xia Dynasty, Xun Ke gave a method to set the world's rites. When people later felt that this method was no longer suitable, Anzhi had no other way to adjust it?

"Brother Gu, do you agree?!"

Wang Mang, who had been listening but did not participate, saw Gu Dan nodding in agreement, and said overjoyed.

"What do you mean I agree?"

Gu Dan glared at him, "If you want to do this, you shouldn't ask for my approval, but for Qin Lisheng, the Mohists, and the people of the world. Is it possible that I nodded, Everyone in the Xia Dynasty will immediately feel that this method is perfect, and follow your requirements meticulously?"

"what."

Although he was reprimanded, Wang Mang laughed, "It's fine if you don't object. I was worried before that you might not agree with this method."

After all, Gu Dan and Mo Qiu had a close relationship, but what he and Xun Ke wanted to settle now directly violated Mo Qiu's core concept.

It is impossible to say that there is no worry in my heart.

Qin Lisheng and the others can talk about it in a reasonable way, but if Gu Dan shakes his head, there is really no way.

"I only look at results and purpose."

Gu Dan said seriously.

Umbrellas are needed on rainy days, and clothes are needed in cold winters. Different situations require different coping methods. Why not govern the country?
Appropriate is the best, rather than a winner or loser.

"Mr. Gu has no objection, then I will be ready to persuade Qin Lisheng and the people of the world."

Xun Ke took a deep breath, and finally got rid of the serious look on his face, showing a smile.

I want to make rituals for the world, so that people can live longer.

No matter how many barriers and tribulations are ahead, it doesn't matter.

The Xia Dynasty will definitely last longer because of him, and the people living in this land will also be farther away from the war and chaos.
