Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 453 Pragmatism
"Laws are divided into "Civil Law" and "Criminal Law". The state of war is the foundation of Qin's unification of the world. Compared with other six countries with relatively loose governance, the success of Great Qin is inevitable."

Ye Yunyu looked at them with bright eyes and said with emotion, "Qin Fa's emphasis on minor crimes and severe punishments seems to make sense, but there are actually big problems. It's good to use heavy codes in troubled times, but it won't work all the time."

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes as black as ink and said seriously, "Qin Ershi and Zhao Gao directly destroyed the traditional legal system of Qin from the top, and then it completely collapsed." After a pause, he continued, "The rule of man replaces the rule of law. The influence on the dynasty is too great. Especially Qin II, the monarch is arbitrary and rewards and punishes without authorization. It is very tempting to be able to change the destiny. The military merit is very attractive. But after the world is unified, the punishment is still so severe, but the reward is gone, and there is no battle to fight. The common people live in fear every day, and this dynasty will naturally not last long. Law Although the law is effective, it is only the bottom line of morality 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 as a deterrent, no one can stand it."

"In this way, the Han Dynasty should be Confucianism outside and Law inside." Ye Yunyu looked at them calmly and said.

"The law is the bottom line, and the teachings of Confucianism are indispensable, and the combination of law and teaching is the feasible way." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep black eyes and said.

"Actually, Confucianism is not that bad. If you don't teach it and punish it, it's called abuse. If you teach it but don't change it, punish it, it's called the kingly way." Han Qinhu said, rubbing his index finger on the tip of his nose.

"Using both civil and martial arts, it is not weak at all when it comes to beheading people." Lin Nanzheng nuzzled, "Especially those who threaten the status of the king, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Speaking of Confucianism, when a hundred schools of thought coexist, Confucianism is advanced, because if it is not advanced, it will be eliminated. If you respect Confucianism alone, you will naturally stop making progress. This is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." Hong Lianshuo looked at Looking at them, they said, "How can you keep Han right if you don't say Qin is so bad!"

"What are you talking about?" Han Qinhu said disapprovingly.

"Can you compare this? Speak with facts." Hong Lianshuo smiled when he heard the words.

"Confucianism is not that bad, but in today's situation, there is no humanity, no restriction of benevolence and morality, people are like beasts, only killing." Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said.

"Ms. Ye, you just said that Confucianism is worthless, and now?" Cui Ming looked at her in disbelief and said.

"Praise the good things, and discard the bad things." Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said.

"Ms. Ye's tone is weird like Mrs. Hong." Lin Nanzheng laughed suddenly, "He is a pragmatist who combines the strengths of a hundred 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 a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism, let's analyze it today. , Analyze, why the world has become like this.”

"It is because of the lack of benevolence, righteousness and moral thought." Hong Lianshuo said bluntly.

Both spiritual civilization and material civilization must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be hard!Indispensable.

"This Confucianism hinders the development of technology and culture." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his index finger across his eyebrows.

"I have the right to speak." Cao Huaimin said upon hearing the words, "Not to mention anything else, this craftsman is a low-ranking, low-level business. But whether it is military equipment or every aspect of life, craftsmen are inseparable. However, they Didn't get the respect it deserved."

"There are only big and small things, there is no distinction between high and low." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" they said in unison with sparkling eyes.

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Who do you think caused the troubles in this world?"

"Of course it's the emperor, the gentry, and the officials." Chen Zhongyuan said without hesitation, "The officials force the people to rebel! But whoever has a stammer, who would rebel!"

"That's right! The troubles are caused by high-ranking people, and the solutions are all proposed by insightful people who are dedicated to the people." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes full of smiles and said, "The end of the dynasties Land annexation is serious, the gap between the rich and the poor is irreversible, and eventually the rebellion will be raised and the dynasty will be changed. But the final winner may not necessarily be the first.”

"The early rafters rot first." Ye Yunyu said with a wry smile.

"Just like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Zhang Jiao in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty." Han Qinhu shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "The one who saves the people from water and fire is the true destiny."

"Hmm!" Hong Lianshuo nodded lightly when he heard the words, and continued, "Secondly, we have a large number of people. Even though we have experienced natural disasters, wars, and plagues, our ancestors still survive tenaciously. The people who tell the younger generation, no matter what happens, it’s okay, and if you persevere to the end, you will win!"

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed.

"What are you laughing at? We escaped death, didn't we?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with warm eyes and said.

"That's right! I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to live well." Chen Zhongyuan smiled foolishly.

"The "Analects", "Zhuangzi", "Laozi", you need to read the Four Books and Five Classics to cultivate your moral character." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "But we should look more at the lists of those famous ministers."

"Famous official?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at her in surprise and asked.

"Chao Cuo, Jia Yi, Zhu Fuyan, Dong Zhongshu...these are the people who have outlined the basic framework for the empire step by step based on the foundation of the predecessors." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes as deep as the sea and said, "In Didn’t know what a unified empire looked like before? They pointed out the way forward for the state.”

"That's right, those barbarians in the Central Plains claim to be descendants of the Liu family." Lin Nanzheng said dumbfounded, "It's so desperately pasted up that it can't be torn off." He cursed, "I really don't want face."

"One of the reasons why Confucianism was able to stand alone in the Han Dynasty was that it was rational and full of benevolence and morality." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said, "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Taoism ruled the country and paid attention to inaction, but it couldn't solve the big man. There are three major problems that have existed until now: princes and kings, local tyrants, and foreigners."
