Chapter 764: Sages
Zhang Jingyi was quite determined this time.
Be prepared for anything.
The future of Liaodong is already promising.
However, Zhang Jingyi has always been hesitant about who is the world in Liaodong.
Those who have experienced the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty will probably have two senses of value.
One is that human life is like grass. Looking at the killing everywhere, seeing the blood flowing thousands of miles, a numbness arises.
Since life is not worth it, and since the heart-wrenching pain of others is taken for granted, then I would rather teach the world to let me down than let the world down.
Therefore, most of the heroes who are rich in troubled times are the ones. Their blood has long been cold and their hearts have long been as strong as ice. They are intrigue and plot against everything, and everything is ultimately considered by their own interests.
Because of this, after natural disasters, there are always man-made disasters. The root cause of man-made disasters is just these people who rely on their own interests as the criterion.
But few people know that in all dynasties, there are so many such heroes who can end up well. Just like the first person who proposed that the emperor was strong and powerful. When he held great power, he could show off his power, and he could kill him and pull out the emperor like a pig or a dog. When he was slaughtering him or her at will, he would never have thought that there would be a second, third, and fourth person who was strong and powerful, who would pull him and his descendants out and then tear him to pieces.
So this path cannot be done.
In history, many sages have appeared. These sages have run around and promoted their own propositions. To some extent, they hope to establish a set of order and curb the former. Therefore, heroes emerge in troubled times, and often sages emerge.
As Confucius felt after the collapse of rituals and music, he then hoped to implement a new ritual system based on Zhou Gong's etiquette and law, so that people would not determine the level through the killing of strong soldiers and horses, but instead attempted to establish a ritual system to determine the level of people.
In fact, Confucius's scheme is indeed ridiculous at present. It is not only unrealistic, but also distorted his theory after the Confucian disciples seized benefits in later generations.
But it has to be said that in his era, when the heroes emerged, the princes showed their power and their lives were like grass, the ritual system proposed by Confucius was definitely called a sage.
The problem now is that some giant merchants have begun to appear. These giant merchants are actually not different from heroes. They are both maximizing their interests and are also based on their own interests. If a law can make them profit, they will modify the law. If a law can make them profit, they will definitely spare no effort.
This has nothing to do with human morality, but when you become a tycoon, your position and way of thinking are actually different from that of all living beings.
The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is
To put it another way, if there were no such means and such ruthlessness, how could it stand out among merchants and become a giant businessman?
In the same transaction, if you are a little kind, your income will be less than other peers.
But the problem is that the essence of business competition is not the problem of how much you make, but the less you make. The ultimate goal of business competition is that it is a game where big fish eat small fish. If you make less, it means that your ability to take risks will be weakened. Any market turmoil, then your kindness will teach you to go bankrupt and become a poor person.
This is actually just like the landlords in the pass. If you are truly willing to do good deeds and are reluctant to put in your efforts to squeeze out, it means that the land income will decrease. You don’t stock enough food, and the ordinary year will be fine. However, when a natural disaster comes, others have a lot of food, and they will take the opportunity to merge in large quantities during natural disasters. They will stock up on goods and make a big profit. However, because of the small grain, your income plummeted, and you even have to sell land to survive the crisis.
Therefore, for this era, great businessmen could never be much more morally wise than gentry. Zhang Jingyi even felt that the moral level of merchants might be much lower than that of gentry. At least, gentry would care about some homesickness and read some fake Taoist books, but merchants pursued theories of real villains, and were nakedly seizing profits.
The reason why Zhang Jingyi still relies on these merchants is just because the current industrial and commercial productivity is higher and the production methods are more advanced.
But you can't just let it go, because once you let it go uncontrollably, the consequences will be extremely terrible.
Since this is the case, there must be a political entity to balance it.
A simple organization is not reliable. This organization must accommodate the Donglin Army, the Jinyiwei and the civil servant system, and establish a new set of "rituals and laws" in this organization.
Of course, in the future, people in this organization may be corrupted, and some may be involved in the business.
However... such organizations will naturally have a huge conflict with the giant business group, that is, who has the final say in the future world.
What Zhang Jingyi wants is to have a group to control the giant business, which is enough.
And at present, the main development groups of this organization come from civil servants, military academies, and Jinyiwei.
In Liaodong, these three sources require strict examinations, whether it is the recruitment of civil servants or military academys, which means that at least the vast majority of the development groups are still ordinary children after all.
Only these children are willing to take exams in order to change their destiny, so in Liaodong Moude may be just a small backbone in the army, or an ordinary civil servant, a lieutenant, or a small position as a cavalry and a captain in the Jinyiwei of Liaodong.
Don’t underestimate them. They will be a member of the alumni association in the future. One person may not have the power, but the alumni association composed of thousands of such people will definitely not be as profit-making as the merchant group.
After deciding the strategy, Li Ding and others formed a school association to establish a committee.
Then, there were opinions like snowflakes, and they entered the committee to select. After the intense selection, the resolutions were sent to Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jingyi discussed with everyone.
Of course, this thing is so trendy that most people just think that His Highness Liaodong wants to communicate emotions with his disciples, so they need to set up an organization similar to friendship.
Therefore, many people don’t notice anything, but think it’s more like something similar to a fellow countryman.
One of the resolutions was proposed by Sun Kewang, Li Laiheng and others. The members they advocated for the development of should also be added to the group of refugees, and should not only target military academies and civil servants.
Everyone had a very intense discussion.
Because Sun Kewang and Li Laiheng have very little qualifications in learning, their theory is very sufficient. The refugees are the largest in Liaodong. The bandits at the time are now living and working in Liaodong. Although they were bandits in the past, there were many ambitious people who should not exclude them.
Sun Kewang and Li Laiheng did not regard the news of the class reunion as casual news.
They are not ordinary people.
After all, it is someone who climbs out of a sea of blood, leads soldiers, fights wars, and deals with complex governance issues.
Although they are now admitted to school, they are just ordinary students, but they have a very sensitive sense of smell and insight.
Therefore, more than 200 people who were originally from bandits immediately joined the letter after discussion.
However, in the establishment of the committee, the discussion was the most intense.
Some people think that it is a class reunion and it is enough to absorb people like Li Laiheng, so there is no need to make a special trip to continue to develop backbones among the former bandits.
But people like Li Dingguo support it. They believe that since the student association aims to be the welfare of the people, the most common people in Liaodong are refugees and the bandits at the time, so how can they be ignored?
The quarrel was so quarrel that it was also open to the committee.
Zhang Jingyi seemed a little confused, so he hurriedly summoned Li Laiheng to Lushun.
Li Laiheng met Zhang Jingyi and gave the teacher's greeting.
Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "You have done a great job these days."
This is meant to be ridiculous.
Li Laiheng said: "My teacher, students argue with reason, and it is also for the good of the class reunion. This class reunion is not a class reunion. If it is a class reunion, everyone will take time out, hold a banquet and have a meal, and contact the countryside, so naturally they should not let the refugees join in the fun. But since the teacher has something to do, how can they keep the refugees away? They came to Liaodong and had no relatives. It is precisely because of the placement of the teacher that today is today. For them, the teacher is actually a new parent. Now this class reunion is about to be established, but what it advocates is based on the people's life. Are refugees not the people? From the perspective of students, develop the flow.
There are three benefits to the people. First, it makes my classmates' reunion to strengthen their muscles and bones. Second, it makes my classmates' reunion go deep into the bottom and make me united in Liaodong. Third: This can also be used to convey the feelings of the lower class to the higher class, so that the students' reunion will not be aware of the people's conditions. Only with these three benefits can great things be achieved. If the teacher wants to be just a class reunion that is left to the shelves, like a gentry in the pass, just say something about establishing a life for the people. The teacher can ignore the students' confession and letters, but if the teacher really wants to implement what the new policy says, it can make the people of the world live and work in peace, it must absorb the refugees."
Zhang Jingyi said: "You are quite knowledgeable, but are you learning it while studying?"
"What I learned in school is actually mostly the knowledge in books. It is just that the students are poor and have a period of experience in fighting. Therefore, combined with the knowledge in books, they feel enlightened. In fact, students have been thinking that the knowledge in books is not the most rational. Not to mention the missionary education in military academy, just talking about the Four Books and Five Classics is actually the same as the most logical word. Every word and every sentence is called the most rational. But the students discovered a fact."
Zhang Jingyi was intrigued: "Facts?"
"Students found that in military academy, some people were deeply touched by the same principle, while others just thought it was written according to the script, which was hard to touch."
"Why is this?"
