Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Many people don't know the usefulness of "learning from the heart" in the world.

To give a small aspect, Xinxue is very good at understanding people's psychology!

The mind does not move, but the mind moves. This "mind" is a person's thoughts and desires.

The study of mind requires people to constantly "investigate things", dig deep into their own hearts, and study their own "meanings".

For example, Wang Mingyang "put down the chaos in southern Jiangxi".

After Wang Mingyang took office, he knew that there were many bandits' eyes and ears in the government, so he directly instigated them by trying to figure out their thoughts, and those eyes and ears in turn helped him find out the bandits' information.

After dispatching troops, he was able to figure out the thoughts of the bandits again and again, pretending to retreat, attacking unexpectedly, breaking through hundreds of bandit nests, beheading and capturing tens of thousands of bandits... "Four Nine Three"

Before that, he had never led a soldier, but had been a chief in the Ministry of War.

Many people commented that Wang Yangming was cunning and cunning, and he could read people's hearts. People nearby all exclaimed that Shou-jen is a god.

In addition, there is also the theory of "the unity of knowledge and action" and "there is nothing outside the mind" in the study of mind.

Many people have no idea and are at a loss when faced with a matter, not knowing how to do it.

From the perspective of Xinxue, "knowledge" and "action" are actually the same thing. For example, filial piety to parents is a truth that everyone knows. It is "OK"!

Those who can't do it don't really "know"!

It is the same thing to "know" and then "do", "do" and then "know".

Therefore, the study of mind can make people grasp the core of the matter very accurately, sort out the order, and make people not be at a loss.

For example, when Wang Yangming put down the "Ningwang Rebellion", Wang Yangming had no soldiers at hand at that time, and ordinary people had no way to act when they received such an order.

But Wang Yangming directly grasped the core of the matter, that is "counter-insurgency", other than that, he was not disturbed by other things.

Grasping the core, you can sort out the order. Since countering the rebellion, you need soldiers and horses. It takes time to gather soldiers and horses, so Wang Yangming frightened King Ning with a fake call to action, and gave himself time to recruit troops.

He also figured out the thoughts of King Ning's two important subordinates, and deliberately leaked them to King Ning, scaring King Ning so much that he dared not move.

A king who had already rebelled was so frightened that he stood still and delayed for more than half a month!

……

Gao Jing needs to reform, this is his core, not to be disturbed by other things!

To reform, you must first get the support of the king. It is obviously impossible for King Han to support Gao Jing. Even if he supports it, he is not firm enough!

And any reform will encounter huge resistance.

Why would anyone stop the reform?On the one hand, it is the fear of the unknown, and the bigger reason is because of interests!

Then pull all the Korean aristocrats into the cart of the reform, and press down on it, so that it is useless even if King Han opposes it.

How to win over all nobles?

Give them what they want!

Those who speak earnestly and take the initiative to explain, others may not listen to it, and they may not be able to listen to it. That's why at the banquet during the day, he will arouse everyone's appetite and let them ask and understand by themselves.

Sure enough, as Gao Jing expected, that night, someone came to visit with gifts.

Zi Nu took the girls from Zi Lan Xuan to help entertain the guests.

Gao Jing talked with the other party in person, distinguished the pros and cons, and promised greater benefits.

"...opening the fiefdom's forests and lakes to the people, so that the people can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to drink water, isn't it good?"

"Your Majesty, you might as well think about it, how much can you earn from the land, mountains, forests and lakes every year?"

"If it is open to the common people, so that the common people can hunt in the mountains, fish in the water, and sell goods, and the king can draw taxes from it, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"As for the policy of opening up the land, your majesty might as well do the calculation again. How many acres of land is your fief now? If you let the people cultivate it themselves, how many acres of land will you have? Among them, have your majesty ever calculated the tax?"

"In a time of war, will the land of your majesty really belong to you forever?"

"Even if the Qin State does not destroy Han, there will always be other countries invading. At that time, the land will be lost, and the king will have nothing..."

"In such troubled times, only one skill is enough to continue the family...Gao Jing has a skill to teach..."

"Among the proceeds, [-]% is higher, the king is [-]%, and the rest goes to the treasury... Needless to say, if the king is not willing, there will be someone else!"

"So, you and I have agreed?"

"..."

For more than half a month, Korean nobles kept visiting.  …

Zi Nu received the gift softly, and Gao Jing also spoke with a hoarse voice.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang were busy compiling the new law and never showed up. Yan Lingji was practicing with Dong Jun and rarely came to bother her. Others were also busy with the tasks assigned by Gao Jing.

When Zi Nu came in with tea, Gao Jing was writing something furiously.

In the past half a month, Zi Nu really saw Gao Jing's eloquence, and couldn't help but said: "Compared to Wei Zhuang, you are the real Guigu disciple!"

"Confucians are good at reasoning. I just break down the pros and cons for them."

Gao Jing put down his pen and waved.

Zi Nu showed helplessness, walked over and knelt down.

Gao Jing lay down directly, pillowed on Zi Nu's lap, and said, "The reason why Zongheng is able to do so is because they are backed by a powerful country, or facing the threat of a powerful country, they have to obey.

But I made them obey willingly, and even thank me from the bottom of their hearts! "

Zi Nu pursed her lips, and couldn't help but said: "Yes, the little girl has seen... How many money-making techniques are there in your wordless book?"

"I can't count!"

Gao Jing casually took a roll of bamboo slips from the case, and said, "But what I gave them were all technologies that already existed, but they were not systematic, just like making pottery, which existed before Yao and Shun 3.9, but now we Still using copper tripod...

If exquisite pottery can be made, wouldn't it be more revealing of identity and elegance than bronze tripods?There are so many aristocrats in the Seven Kingdoms, and if it is promoted, how can it not make money? "

Zi Nu couldn't help but said: "If you are a businessman, you must be the most profitable in the whole world!"

"The world is prosperous, it's all for profit, the world is bustling, it's all for profit... I don't know what do you need so much money for?"

Gao Jing sighed, looked at the bamboo slips, and said, "Everyone who should have come has come?"

"Well, everything on the list has been negotiated with you." Zi Nu couldn't help reaching out and stroking Gao Jing's head.

"Oh, Han Fei's new law is almost done. I should go to the court to discuss it... I have been absent from work for more than half a month since I first took office. King Han will not fire me, will he?"

"You think too much.".

Chapter 110 Seven Reforms

On the day of the court meeting, King Han came over and couldn't help being stunned when he saw Gao Jing who suddenly appeared.

"Is the right-hand man cured?"

Gao Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty is concerned, I'm fine now!"

In fact, Han Wang wanted to say, you can continue to go back to get sick... Unfortunately, he didn't dare.

Returning to his own bench, King Han looked around at the ministers and said, "Is there any government affairs to be discussed today?"

Baiguan you look at me, I look at you, in the end no one spoke, all looked at the leader Gao Jing.

Han Wang was a little puzzled.

Seeing this, Gao Jing came out and said, "Since there is nothing important, what about your majesty, my minister?"

Han Wangdao: "Please speak to the right minister."

Gao Jingdao: "Your Majesty, I want to reform in Korea!"

Han Wang's body froze immediately, and he couldn't help but look towards the left minister.

Open your eyes to watch your nose, your nose to watch your heart, and remain indifferent.

King Han looked at the clan again, but still no one responded.

Looking at the officials again, not only did no one come out to stop them, but many people showed joy...

17 What's going on?

Speaking of the reform before, didn't everyone want to jump up and oppose it?

King Han couldn't help swallowing, and said, "The right minister... how to reform?"

Gao Jing said directly: "Although South Korea's land is small, there are large areas of barren land, so I invite you to play the king and open up the fiefdom!"

"This this……"

The first one directly made King Han dumbfounded!

What is a fief?That is the private property of the nobles!

Gao Jing's words are equivalent to asking the nobles to share their property... How could anyone agree?

"The minister agrees!"

A person can't wait to go out.

When King Han saw it, he was actually a member of the royal family...

"The minister also agrees!"

Someone jumped out again, and there was a fief.

"All the ministers agree!"

King Han was stunned. Looking at a group of nobles with fiefs, he agreed to open up the fiefs...

"Then...then...the widow agrees?"

Han Wang himself didn't know what he was talking about.

"Thank you king!"

Gao Jing saluted, nodded to the others, and continued: "Although there are few people in South Korea, the slaves raised by big families are not among them. In order to enrich the population of South Korea, I ask you to play the king and release the slaves!"

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees!"

"The ministers also agree!"
