My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 855 Secondary Distribution
“Is it possible that the people who benefit first will lead the people who benefit later?”

"Isn't this just letting the nobles and landlords lead the common people of the world and make them nobles together?"

After following Fusu for a long time, Chen Ping sometimes felt that he had become idealistic and full of justice.

Of course, there is also an inexplicable responsibility falling on his shoulders.

In the past, Chen Ping just wanted to be the best of the best and the one who divided the world's resources.

But after following Fusu, Chen Ping not only felt that he was no longer alone, but also felt that he should shoulder such responsibility.

He felt that he was beginning to be restricted because he discovered that power did not make a person great.

As a person in power, being able to fulfill your responsibilities to the people of the world is more worthy of respect than having any power, no matter how great or high it is.

A good role model and a good leader are simply a beacon that attracts and motivates subordinates to work hard.

Chen Ping looked at the emperor in disbelief.

Although Chen Ping is very smart, to be honest, he is more than one level lower than Han Fei, Ying Zheng, Li Si and others whom Fusu had met.

There is no way, vision and life experience frame a person's wisdom.

No matter how smart Chen Ping is, he is still manipulating interpersonal relationships.

Asking him to set up some national systems is like asking a blind man to start a fire.

Chen Ping was only responsible for making plans and executing them. In terms of the overall view of systems and policies, he was not as good as Han Fei and Li Si.

However, if he really surpassed them, Chen Ping's talents would not be limited to these.

Chen Ping is a realist, while Han Fei is an idealist.

Both of them understand human nature, but the gap between them is obvious: one plays people around, while the other is played around by others.

Qin II looked at Chen Ping with an expression of disbelief, "You think this is incredible?"

"Excuse me for being blunt. It is absolutely impossible to let the nobles and powerful landlords lead the common people."

"People are born selfish. And most people are extremely greedy. After satisfying their past desires, they will have more desires that they can't wait to satisfy."

“When greed and selfishness are combined, once some people become rich first, they will only rack their brains to find ways to make themselves even richer, and use more cruel methods to make those who are not rich create more wealth for them.”

"Throughout the ages, the history of every dynasty has verified this countless times."

“If there is one greatest lesson that man has learned from history, it is that man learns nothing from history.”

“Everyone knows that doing this will bring bad consequences and bring disaster to themselves. But everyone just inevitably makes the same mistake again.”

"Over and over again, in a cycle. These things are meaningless."

"Those who benefit first will benefit others later?" Chen Ping thought about how the villagers treated him in the past. He even laughed at this matter out of control.

He, the Second, and several plainclothes guards shuttled between the workshops.

Occasionally, workers who were busy on the side of the road would hear the discussion and look up at the person who was speaking in surprise.

The man in black who was talking hurried past, with bright red mud on his shoes. It was obvious that he came from the waterwheel.

There was anger and unwillingness on his face.

The young man he was trying to catch up with walked calmly and briskly, as if something good was about to happen.

The young man was wearing a white robe and his face could not be seen clearly.

But just by looking at the back, you can feel that the other person has an extraordinary temperament and an extraordinary background.

On his right was a tall man in brown clothes accompanying him, with long arms and legs, which made his walking posture look strange.

As they watched, a murderous gaze fell on the workers. It turned out to be the man in brown who turned around.

This person is Jing Ke.

Because there has not been a major event like assassinating the Qin Emperor, Jing Ke has been a nobody until now, no one cares about him, only Qin II regards him as a master.

The officers and soldiers were confused by this, but there were many things that Qin II had done that made them confused, and this was not the only strange thing.

“Everything in this world exists in relative terms. Where there is wealth, there must be poverty; where there is strength, there must be weakness.”

“The gap between the rich and the poor is like the height of a person, or the height of a mountain; it is always relative.”

"I am just a mortal. How can I eliminate this relatively objective existence?"

Chen Ping calmed his heartbeat and said, "That's true."

"Although I once vowed to divide the world equally, now that I have reached this position and seen so much, I myself do not believe that it is really possible to make everyone equal."

"Not to mention that all the wealth in the world can be evenly distributed. This is impossible."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, the air under this beautiful scenery froze because of his anger.

No one spoke.

People are all made of flesh and blood, and every guard resonated with what Chen Ping said.

The green mountain in the distance looks like a god, smiling quietly and overlooking the people in the city below.

Green mountains, breeze, hills, flowers, streams, the clicking sound of machines in the distance, and a few faces looking at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone looked at Qin II at a loss.

Chen Ping looked at Qin II. To be honest, Fusu didn't even show the slightest surprise when he saw this ecological and technological city. He was more relieved.

And according to his initial evaluation, the Eco-Tech City can get even better.

Having been with the emperor for a long time, Chen Ping thought he had a certain understanding of the emperor.

The emperor's calm tone showed that he had considered this for a long time. Since the emperor dared to say that those who benefited first should benefit those who did not, there must be a reason.

"Perhaps, what I thought, that the people who benefit first will bring the people who benefit later, is not the same as what Your Majesty has designed, that the people who benefit first will bring the people who benefit later?"

"I ask your Majesty to enlighten me."

Jing Ke didn't understand whether their reasons were valid or not, but he just believed that Qin II's choice was right.

The long road under Fusu's feet led all the way to the distant mountains, which were planted with tall cypress trees.

The clear river surrounds the muddy road like a white ribbon, and the roadside is full of colorful flowers.

"When I say that those who benefit first should help those who benefit later, I don't mean that those who benefit first should be charitable. Instead, I mean that those who benefit first should create more wealth, and those who are poor should benefit from it."

"So that the oppression between people can be reduced to the minimum and harmony can be achieved. This is the so-called great harmony society."

"I never intend to rely on those who benefit first and ask them to take the initiative to help those who don't benefit. That is wishful thinking and extravagant talk."

"You know, if there are 10% good people and 90% bad people in this world, the world can continue to function."

"But of the people who benefit first, ninety-nine of them are bad people."

"Since ninety-nine percent of the people who go up first are bad guys, how could these vested interests take the initiative to help those who have not benefited. It is already a great kindness for them not to further exploit those who have not benefited." After hearing this, Chen Ping became even more confused.

“If we don’t rely on those who benefit first, how can we get those who benefit first to help those who benefit later?”

Qin II said firmly, "Rely on power, rely on the court, rely on emperors and generals from generation to generation. Let the court make this decision and make full use of the good one percent of the rich one tenth."

"It could even reduce the probability of good people among those who benefit first from 1% to 10%, or even to 50%."

"Environment shapes people. Those who benefit first obviously have greater advantages to be perfect, so why do we always force those who don't benefit to be perfect? ​​Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Let these decent, first-benefit people hold absolute power and be responsible for allocating resources and implementing policies."

"If some people are allowed to have more resources and live a better life first, then within 30 to 50 years, the gap between the rich and the poor will definitely widen greatly."

"But under the encouragement of this policy, and relying on people's nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, within 30 to 50 years, the world's resources and wealth will grow explosively, and the share of growth will reach an unimaginable height."

"At this time, we can use the power of the empire to force a second sharing. Let those who benefited first help those who benefit later."

Chen Ping suddenly understood, his eyes sparkling, "Your Majesty means that the first distribution should be allowed to be divided among the people of the world, and after the distribution is completed, Your Majesty will personally decide and let the rich people distribute their wealth to the poor."

"In this case, it is still the people who benefit first, and helping those who benefit later is just another means to achieve the goal."

Everyone understood, suddenly realized, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Jing Ke looked at Fusu with admiration.

But at this moment, Fusu stopped laughing. By doing such a thing, the people of the world would be the beneficiaries, but he was not the beneficiary.

All the things he did offended the rich and were like snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

Qin II simply said indifferently, "This can be regarded as the power that was collected from the people being finally used by the people again."

"This world is originally ruled by the elites, and resources are allocated by the elites anyway. Previously, we cracked down on the elites to prevent them from getting rich, to curb them, and to prevent them from becoming bigger and stronger."

"From today on, my Qin State will do the opposite. We will make sure that our Qin State has countless elites, countless wealthy and powerful people."

Like Chen Ping, Fusu was taught from a young age that human nature is evil and there is no room for belief at all.

Let those who benefit first help those who benefit later, and those who already have wealth and status help those who have no power in the society.

This matter is essentially a challenge to human nature.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing them. Money is life. Asking some people to donate one-third of their wealth to people who have nothing to do with them feels like cutting off their own flesh and blood.

Of course, in fact, those people they think have nothing to do with them are the ones who are exploited by them.

The relationship between the two is essentially that of a robber and the person being robbed.

It's just that the robber is unwilling to admit that he is a sinner.

"If those people are unwilling to give way to others and let them spit out what they have eaten first, then I will beat them until they vomit. I will make them spit out everything."

"Ancient books say that the way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency; the way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus."

"As the Son of Heaven, I have received the mandate of Heaven. Naturally, I must follow the Way of Heaven."

After Qin II finished speaking, everyone present admired him. As a strong man, he would occasionally lose his mind and make mistakes that everyone would make.

But fortunately, this imperfect person was able to stick to his goal for a long time and move forward step by step. His persistence and actions day after day for ten years are more inspiring and uplifting than any big words.

Is not it?
"I'm thinking that maybe our ancestors made some wrong decisions in the past. They blindly suppressed the nobles, excluded local tyrants, and suppressed them without reason."

“Fear often makes people lose their minds.”

"But will this really work? Since human nature cannot be changed, what is the point of containment? It will only cause serious divisions."

"Everyone wants wealth, status and power. Those in power don't allow the vested interests to get too much wealth, but let those who don't get any wealth and benefits get wealth and benefits. What's the logic behind this?"

"Since the emperors and generals of the past all said nice things about curbing the expansion of power and the concentration of wealth, then why should he let the people get wealth?"

"There is still selfishness involved. Their goal is to allow those who protect their own interests to gain power and wealth, and to eliminate those whose interests do not align with theirs."

"Why not acknowledge reality? The gap between the rich and the poor is inevitable. Take advantage of human weaknesses and the characteristics of social wealth differentiation to reconcile contradictions as much as possible."

This is the same as true courage. When a person sees the truth of life, he still loves life; when he understands that some things are fixed and cannot be changed, he will not be discouraged, but face them. This is true courage.

Unlike the lessons that previous emperors and generals learned from history, Fusu did not want to do the same. He wanted to stick to the right path and stay in the middle.

Our ancestors always made the same mistake, either going left or right. This has harmed countless people.

Then he would modify the defects that were already present in the genes.

Besides, the Qin Dynasty was a special dynasty with great resources and strong endowments. If we can make good use of local resources, we can do things that transcend the times.

Anyway, the allocation of resources always depends on people, so what is he afraid of?

Since Xiangli Che moved away from Xianyang City and settled in the Ecological and Technological City, he has been protected by a large force personally sent by General Meng Tian. Now he can work hard with his brothers.

To be honest, there are very few outstanding ones among the new disciples of Mo Men.

Most of them came to Momen just to eat.

They did not restore or carry forward much of the integrity and spirit of their Mohist predecessors.

Many times, they behave more like the country's royal craftsmen.

There is absolutely no initiative.

But when they saw that Qin II sent troops to protect them, these guys once again changed their previous ideas about the world, life, the meaning of life, and their own mission in the world.

The environment shapes people, influences people, and transforms people.

If one grows up in a dark palace, he will inevitably become a ruthless, unscrupulous and short-sighted person when he grows up. However, if one grows up in a bright, warm, harmonious and happy family, he will naturally be an upright gentleman when he enters society.

Money flows to those who have no shortage of money, and love flows to those who have no shortage of love.

It's the same principle. People who see how their parents and relatives make money when they are born will naturally make money when they grow up.

People who have seen since childhood how their parents and relatives love and respect each other and how to make themselves happy do not need to be tempered by society. They can directly gain precious love experience from their parents, and then love others and be loved by everyone.

Working in such an environment is something that these Mohist disciples dare not even think about.

A hundred years ago, Mo Zi influenced people of an era with his actions.

One hundred years later, Qin II once again influenced the people of an era by relying on the environment he created for his disciples of Mohism.

To be honest, before moving into the Eco-Tech City, almost no one believed that the goal of loving all and not aggression could be achieved.

After moving in, all the craftsmen and Mohist disciples changed their minds almost overnight.

Yes, in that darkness, the first person who got the fire stood up bravely and used his own fire to help others light their torches. Then the people around the first person began to quickly spread the fire in their hands.

In the midst of heavy darkness and fog, a mountain suddenly appeared, and everyone on the mountain was holding a flame in their hands.
