Chapter 453 Pragmatism
"The laws are divided into Civil Law, Criminal Law and so on. Qin's laws are heavy on punishment and light on the people." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "The idea of running the country without farming or fighting has allowed the Qin State to always maintain integrity. The state of war is the foundation for Qin to dominate the world. Compared with the other six countries whose governance is relatively loose, the success of Qin is inevitable. "
Ye Yunyu looked at them with bright eyes and said with emotion, "Qin's law emphasizes heavy punishment for minor crimes. It seems reasonable, but in fact there is a big problem. It is good to use heavy punishment in troubled times, but it will not work all the time."
Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes and said seriously, "Qin II and Zhao Gao completely destroyed the Qin State's traditional legal system from the top, which led to its complete collapse." After a pause, he continued, "The rule of man replaces the rule of law. The influence on the dynasty was really great. Especially the second generation of Qin, the monarch was arbitrary and rewarded and punished without authorization. This meant that he was not a true Legalist. When Qin did not unify the world, even though Qin's laws were strict, through war, You can change your destiny, and military merit is very tempting. But after the world is unified, the punishments are still so severe, but the rewards are gone, and there are no wars to fight. The people live in fear every day, and this dynasty will naturally not last long. Law Although the law is effective, it is only a moral bottom line and cannot completely replace morality. Many things can be solved with a small punishment and a few words of education. If you have to use life imprisonment to deter, no one can stand it. "
"In this way, the Han Dynasty should be about external Confucianism and internal Dharma." Ye Yunyu looked at them calmly and said.
"The law is the bottom line, and Confucian education is indispensable. The only way is to use both law and teaching." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his deep black eyes and said.
"Actually, Confucianism is not that bad. If you punish them without teaching them, you call them cruelty. If you teach them but don't change them, and punish them, you call them kingly ways." Han Qinhu said, rubbing the tip of his nose with his index finger.
"If you use both civil and military methods, you won't be weak at all when you chop people down." Lin Nanzheng muttered, "Especially those who threaten the king's status, we will kill them without mercy!"

"Speaking of Confucianism, when hundreds of schools of thought coexisted, Confucianism was advanced. If you are not advanced, you will be eliminated. If you only respect Confucianism, you will naturally stop making progress. This is like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will retreat." Hong Lianshuo looked at it with bright eyes. Looking at them, he said, "If you don't say Qin is so bad, how can you keep Han right?"
"Isn't it too outrageous for you to say that?" Han Qinhu said with some disapproval.
"Can you compare this? Speak with facts." Hong Lianshuo raised the corners of his lips and smiled after hearing this.
"Confucianism is not that bad, but today's situation is devoid of humanity, without the constraints of benevolence, justice and morality. People are like wild beasts, only killing." Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said.
"Teacher Ye, just now you said that Confucianism is worthless, and now?" Cui Ming looked at her in disbelief and said.
"The good things should be praised, and the bad things should be discarded." Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said.
"Teacher Ye sounds very similar to Mrs. Hong." Lin Nanzheng suddenly laughed and said, "He is a pragmatist who combines the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought."
"Hey!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "Take the essence and discard the dross." He put away the smile on his face and looked at them and said, "Since we are talking about hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism, let's analyze it today. , analyze why the world has become like this.”….

That's right!" They said in unison with bright eyes.
Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Who do you think is responsible for the trouble in this world?"
"Of course it's the emperor, nobles and officials who are all powerful." Chen Zhongyuan said without thinking, "What the hell! Anyone who stutters, who would resist!"
"Yes! Trouble is caused by people from above, and the solutions are proposed by people of insight among all living beings who are dedicated to the people." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes full of smiles and said, "At the end of the dynasties of past dynasties
Land annexation is serious and the polarization between the rich and the poor is irreversible. In the end, there will be an uprising and a change of dynasty. But the final winner is not necessarily the first one."
"The first rafter will die first." Ye Yunyu said with a bitter smile.
"Just like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Zhang Jiao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty." Han Qinhu shook his head and laughed when he heard this, "The one who saves the people and the fire and water is the real one."
"Uh-huh!" Hong Lianshuo nodded slightly after hearing this, and continued, "Secondly, there are so many of us. Even though we have experienced natural disasters, wars, plagues, empty houses, and bones exposed in the wild, our ancestors are still tenaciously surviving. Stay alive.
People who tell the younger generation that no matter what happens, it will be okay, as long as you persevere to the end, you will win!"
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
"What are you laughing at? We escaped death, didn't we?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with gentle eyes and said.
"Yes! I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to live well." Chen Zhongyuan said with a silly smile.
"The Analects, Zhuangzi, Laozi, the Four Books and Five Classics should be read to cultivate one's moral character." Hong Lianshuo put away the smile on his face and looked at them and said, "But we should look more at the names of those famous officials."
"Famous minister?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at her in surprise and asked.
"Chao Cuo, Jia Yi, Zhufu Yan, Dong Zhongshu... these are the people who drew up the basic framework for the empire step by step based on the work of their predecessors." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes as deep as the sea and said, "In
Didn’t you know what a unified empire looked like before? They pointed out the way forward for the country.”
"It's true that those barbarians in the Central Plains claim to be descendants of the Liu family." Lin Nanzheng said in a dumbfounded voice, "They stuck it on so hard that they couldn't even tear it off." He cursed, "I really don't have any shame."
"One of the reasons why Confucianism was so dominant in the Han Dynasty is that it is rational and full of benevolence, justice and morality." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright black eyes and said, "In the early Han Dynasty, Taoism was used to govern the country, which emphasized governing by doing nothing, but it could not solve the Han Dynasty.
There are three major problems that exist even today: princes and kings, local powerful people, and foreigners.”
