Collect crowd into immortals

In the blink of an eye, the world has come to the next day.

On this day, when Meng Huai and others came to the academy, they all bowed respectfully to the Master, saying that after verification, what the Master had said before was correct.

The logic of the world is indeed in line with "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil."

The difference is that good aspects are expressed in actions, while evil usually only stays in words and reputation.

But this is enough. After all, once the reputation is really ruined, unless there is something particularly strong, it will really get worse and worse.

Qingxuan was not surprised by this. This was a conclusion he came to after examining billions of people. How could it be so easily overturned.

"Okay, everyone is clear about the fact that good deeds are rewarded with good deeds, so let's take a look at the next question, that evil deeds are rewarded with evil deeds.

I believe everyone has seen or heard that the notorious villain not only has not been punished, but has become more and more rampant. "

Hearing this, Gong Yu, the son of the current county magistrate, was the first to speak:
"But there is such a thing! Teacher, the former magistrate of our Chenggu County is a typical example. Before my father came, he preyed on the people and ran rampant in the countryside. In the end, he was sentenced to death by execution by the court, and this was completely ended."

At this time, Chen Mu also said: "I also know this one. There is a well-known gangster on our street. He is tall and thick and very fierce. We were scared when we saw him when we were young. No one in our area dared to mess with him. .

It seemed that the county magistrate finally got rid of him in his third year in office! "

"I also know him. His nickname is Black Tiger, and he has two tiger heads tattooed on his arm. I heard that he joined some gang, and it seemed to be called the Qing Gang. In the end, the Qing Gang was uprooted, and he was completely finished.

I heard from my father that he also extorted our family and took several liters of food from our family. "

"I know too..."

With the accusations one after another, many extremely vicious villains were named, some of whom have not even been caught until now.

In this regard, everyone has a doubt, and that is why those people can get away with it, and why those people before were able to run rampant for so long.

Isn't it said that evil will be punished, why is it so late?
It stands to reason that it should be repaid on the spot because it is kind and kind.

In this regard, the Master said: "To answer this question, we have to go back to something we talked about at the beginning. People live in this world for three things - survival, reproduction, and self-satisfaction. Satisfy your desires and make your life meaningful.

So how to do this?

What ordinary people do is to stay safe, accumulate good reputation, and help each other, so that they can get through the difficult moments in life.

But what about the evil ones, what are they going to do?
This involves two aspects, power and fame.

The so-called momentum is to accumulate one's own power and make one's strength stronger.

As for names, they can be divided into bad names and good names.

Notoriety means exaggerating one's evil side to make one feared by others, in order to achieve the purpose of protecting oneself and plundering resources.

And kindness means showing yourself to be harmless to humans and animals, showing that you are beneficial to humans and the surrounding groups, and asking everyone not to kill him or do harm to him.

Just like a black-hearted businessman, why do they all have a plaque of a great benevolent person?
Because anything that does not exist will basically not be able to escape the punishment of the law and the court's censure.

Why do all corrupt officials want to have a reputation as an upright official with clean sleeves? Why do they want to have a good reputation for serving the country and the people?
This is not simply vanity, but self-preservation.

If you think about it carefully, will all the corrupt officials who are famous in history be brought to justice in the end?

This is why.

You have such a bad reputation, and if I can get a good reputation by disposing of you, then when the time comes, you will naturally have to offer your head obediently.

As for every emperor who said that he was wise and mighty, dedicated himself to the country and the people, and died, there is no need to say more about this, it is the same as before. "

At this time, the princess Ji Mingyao stood up thoughtfully.

"May I ask the teacher, these are all categories of names, so how can I explain the situation?"

Yes, as a royal daughter, Ji Mingyao naturally knew her "wise and mighty" father's true ability to govern the country, and she also roughly knew the reason why his father left some corrupt officials behind and did not deal with them.

Therefore, she had no objection at all to what the Master said about the name.

But what about momentum?

How can this be explained?
In response, the master sighed suddenly.

“You should have all heard the saying that one kind of rice can feed all kinds of people.

People are different from each other.

Some people are willing to kill for just a penny, and the whole village will fight for a spring of water;
Some people are so angry that they can't bear a little grievance;
Some people can only cry secretly even if their wives and children are killed and their fields are taken away, or even work for their enemies and fight for their whole lives;
Some people can endure for decades to avenge blood, just to kill the real murderer once;
Some people simply help the tyrants to harm more fellow villagers;

Some people can't bear to see their peers being maimed and rise up to resist, while some people are insensitive and spend their whole lives doing nothing but coercion...

Wait, wait, everyone is different.

Therefore, in order to protect ourselves, and for those in power and those with resources, we must protect ourselves as much as possible.

Where to protect it?It’s still the issue we just talked about, power and fame.

Name is to dispel the other party's malice and resistance through thoughts.

The potential is to deter the opponent from the physical level, or from the practical level, so that the other party does not dare to take action.

Everyone knows that gangs need to have younger brothers, wealthy families need to have assistants and guardians, government offices need to have officers and soldiers, and the imperial city needs to have guardsmen.

Why do we have these?

The teacher once conducted a survey.

If a person only does small evils, such as swearing, stealing money, or stealing small amounts of money, then generally speaking, if he offends a hundred people, [-] people will want to beat him up and teach him a lesson, and [-] people will want to give him a lesson. He was completely crippled, but only one of them had the intention of killing him.

If this is a serious evil, such as humiliating a person's wife, daughter, dignity, etc., then the chance will be greatly increased. 98 out of [-] people will want to teach him a lesson, and about [-] of them will. If they are crippled, ten of them will have thoughts of murder.

If this evil continues to increase, then this proportion will continue to increase.

Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s talk about the previous beatings and killings.

It should be noted that what the teacher said before was just an idea, but if he actually did it, the number of beatings would be higher, only about [-]%.

Generally speaking, children and young people are the highest, followed by the elderly and middle-aged.

Among them, women are usually less likely to do it than men.

Of course, these are all light blows, such as a slap in the face and a kick, and will not cause any disability.

If they frequently break limbs or even cause disability, there are less than twenty out of 100 people.

In other words, if you often do small evils, then when you offend a hundred people, you will probably be retaliated by fights thirty times, and you will be retaliated by being disabled by two people.If it is a great evil, then about fifty people out of 100 will take revenge on you, and eight people will want to completely destroy you.

Of course, if you continue to do evil to a person many times, the odds will continue to rise.

Even in the end, it is very likely that everyone will hate you and want to eat you alive. "

Having said this, the Master paused slightly, and then continued:
"The above mentioned are the chances of retaliation and maiming. As for killing, because this matter is too serious, generally speaking, there is only a [-]% chance of realization.

In other words, if you keep doing small evils, you will have to offend about [-] people before your life will be in danger.

If it's a big evil, the standard will be lower. It only takes NO. 50 people to get one.

Of course, if you are really unlucky and meet a ruthless person first, then just pretend I didn’t tell you! "

Hearing this, the students were thoughtful and laughed at the same time.

If you really meet such a cruel person, it can only show that the evildoer really deserves what he deserves.

After all, if you don’t do evil, why would people find you?

At this time, Ji Mingyao concluded: "What the teacher means is that the more evil you do, the greater the evil you do, and the more people you offend, the more likely you are to suffer retaliation from others."

"That's right! You must know that under normal circumstances, except for those who intentionally do evil, the probability of friction among ordinary people is basically less than one in a thousand, and the situation of killing people frequently will be reduced to less than one in fifty thousand, or even less than one in one hundred thousand. .”

After hearing this, everyone realized something, and Meng Huai even said: "In other words, the moment he does evil, the evil person increases the chance of being killed hundreds or thousands of times.

No wonder the teacher warned us not to do evil, it is so directly dangerous. "

At this time, Chen Mu also said: "Yes, I have only heard the old man say before, don't do evil, saying that doing evil is dangerous, but this is the first time I have such an intuitive feeling."

After all, there is a big difference between vague feelings and real statistics.

"Teacher, what you just said is that power and fame can protect oneself. Does it mean that it can reduce the chance of this?"

Hearing this, the Master nodded,
"Indeed!
The name of kindness can reduce other people's hostility and thoughts of revenge.

A bad reputation can intimidate others and make them fearful. They only dare to think about it in their hearts, but they dare not take action.

After all, evil often threatens our lives.

The teacher said before that survival is one of the basic needs of human beings. Once the crisis reaches this point, people will instinctively avoid and escape without resisting.

This is an important reason why our bloodline can continue, but there is no need to sneer at it.

As for potential, it’s actually pretty much the same.

Think about it, if two people are doing the same evil, one of them is unprepared and goes out to play alone on the street every day, never escaping;

As for the other person, he was surrounded by a large group of burly men every day. He even went out in sedan chairs or carriages and never showed his face.

If you hate these two people to the core, which kind of revenge will you choose? "

As soon as these words came out, all the students spoke out one after another.

"Of course the first one! I can't even see the second one, and even if he succeeds, he probably won't be able to escape. The first one can be done by himself if he pays a little more attention."

"I would also choose the first one. This person is a target. It is really unjustifiable not to choose him."

"I'll be the first, then the second!"

……

Seeing that everyone chose the first one in unison, the master asked again: "What if the first one has an official status and is a retired old official? If he is killed, the court will suppress your three tribes?"

"Then, then, what is the identity of the second one? Is he also an official?"

"The second one is an ordinary wealthy businessman."

"Then I'd better choose the second one. After all, my family can still escape if I choose the second one!"

"If you are an orphan, I will choose the first one! Being an official will bring even greater harm!"

"I still choose to wait and see. These two are too difficult to deal with. We need to find some people to do it together!"

……

After a moment, all the students finished their selections, and the master said again:

“The above two examples are actually the use of potential.

However, the wealthy businessman chose to recruit people to expand his protection, thereby reducing the risk of being killed.

As for the official, although he has no one to protect him now, he relies on a greater power - the court.

With the protection and intimidation of the imperial court, the other party was even more powerful than the wealthy businessman who relied on large numbers of people to gather momentum.

And these are the two paths that evil people usually choose.

One is to expand the family business, expand the house, and expand the protection of the guards; the other is to directly join the government, establish contact with the government, and use his power to protect oneself.

Generally speaking, as long as there is one person to protect you, your ability to retaliate can be reduced to about a quarter.

If you rely on the official body, this action power can even be reduced to one hundredth or even one thousandth of the previous one.

In other words, if an official commits evil acts against all the people in a county (10 people), then only about half to five people may retaliate against him. "

"So much?"

All the students were shocked on the spot.

After a long time, someone said: "No wonder! No wonder! No wonder some corrupt officials tried their best to collect taxes and even caused disasters everywhere, but they remained as stable as Mount Tai and not afraid at all. It turns out that they took advantage of the power of the court."

"Yes, when rice was replaced by mulberry in the south of the Yangtze River, the people there scolded them while shoveling the rice and planting mulberry trees. I remember that the official was not assassinated at that time.

In the end, someone couldn't stand it anymore and united all loyal ministers to report the matter to the emperor, and then he was executed.

Now think about it, why could the court kill him?
That's because the other party is borrowing the power of the imperial court. As long as the imperial court does not recognize it, he will instantly become a drowned rat and cannot resist at all. "

"Yeah, I can't resist at all!
Not to mention him, several loyal ministers in the previous dynasty were directly beheaded. This was because their good reputation could not withstand the power of the court, and that was why they ended up with no guarantee of their lives. "

"The power of the imperial court? I dare to ask the teacher, why is the power of the imperial court so strong? It can actually make virtuous ministers willing to die?"
