Chapter 1481 Implementation
There are many types of pain in humans.

But for a thinker, there is only one real pain, and that is to be alive.

This is like the "literati misleading the country" in people's concept. Why does literati misusing the country sound much more serious than military generals, eunuchs messing up the government, and stupid kings misusing the country?

Of course, this is not only because the literati are the most common misleading roles for the common people, but the deeper reason lies in the identity and the power held by this identity.

Most of the eunuchs and generals come from the common people, but even if the eunuch does not harm the country, his status is still an eunuch;

But if the literati do not harm the country, they will become writers, politicians, military strategists, thinkers... Anyway, they are not literati.

There is a large room for improvement, which often leads to the embarrassing situation where theory and practice are out of touch in new identities and new positions.

Just like Li Zhi, he did a good job in Yao'an's office and has a set of thought theories that are being thought out, but he has no chance to put this into practice.

On the one hand, it is believed that people can be ruled by relying on childlike innocence, nature, and instinct. The court should minimize the constraints on human nature. The traditional system of virtue, ritual, and criminal administration will only destroy nature. It should minimize social interference and respect women. There is a reason for this.

On the other hand, it is also believed that the ancient and modern virtuous officials are not full of moral preaching, but actually do things for the court to develop the economy and find finances. People should pursue utilitarianism.

But in fact, in the traditional sense, "financial management is a turbidity" does not restrict others, it is precisely from the perspective of morality and values, it restricts those officials who have the opportunity to read a lot of books, pass the imperial examination, and hold the lifeline of the court. .

Satisfying any one of his ideas can be said to be a huge progress for society; but if he wants to satisfy all of them in his life, it can only be a nightmare for the whole world.

A small government that does not impose restrictions on localities, coupled with officials who have no moral constraints and encourage wealth accumulation, create a unified principle that everyone is equal.

The collapse of the empire is just around the corner.

But it's not li zhi's fault.

Why do thinkers become thinkers?First of all, it is because he is dissatisfied with his social environment, which can almost be equated with his dissatisfaction with his personal fortune in the past.

Because he is not only dissatisfied with the environment, but also has the ability to change his own surrounding environment when he is small, and the ability to change the social environment of the country when he is big.

That is to say, I have no ability to change the status quo. I found problems and improved the theory in the process of practice and theory, but I got stuck at this point.

There is no chance to use practice to further improve the theory, and then use the perfected theory to re-enter practice. You can only be a keen diagnostician.

Because people who can complete this step are not called thinkers, but reformers and revolutionaries according to the difference between their means of perfection and mildness.

After some trial and error, the final practice must be quite different from the initial theory.

The greatest pain for a thinker is to live. In a world that knows that it will always be incompatible with what you think, it is cruel to live a long life.

His greatest wish is that there will be one and a half compassionate people in the world, so that a powerful, virtuous and talented person like him can be useful, even if he kills himself to repay him, he will never forget his kindness.

The contradictory Li Zhi not only opposes Confucian ethics, but also fanatically yearns for the modern and ancient righteous men who respect the concept;

In fact, the person he most wanted to find was Zhang Juzheng, and the second person he wanted to find was Emperor Wanli, but he knew in his heart that Zhang Juzheng, the emperor, or the entire court would not tolerate him.

How well Zhang Juzheng and Li Zhi's political ideals matched each other. He didn't talk about morality for reputation.

However, with Zhang Juzheng's iron fist in governing the country, the Ming Dynasty, which had lost morality and loose laws and regulations, was integrated into a strong iron plate, and every academy was shoveled.

The existence of a person like Li Zhi is a rusted iron nail hooked on the roaring machine he has worked so hard to build, and a broken blue brick built on the Great Wall he is impregnable. It is the greatest ridicule and sarcasm for Zhang Juzheng.

Perhaps, he will never see the world he imagined.

The people of the world, each fulfills his own life, each obtains what he wants, each follows what he likes, each develops his strengths, do what his strength can do, do what his heart desires, and listen to those who must do what the situation dictates.

Those who have thousands of people will each get the hearts of thousands of people, and those who have thousands of hearts will each fulfill the desires of thousands of people.

Everything pays for itself, the reason why heaven and earth depend on their material, is a world where all things grow together without harming each other.

But he is not a person who is easily defeated. He is not a person who is waiting for death. A person who is waiting for death is physically and mentally destroyed. Although he is not dead, his muscles and bones are already cold, which is no different from a dead person.

In his view, although he can't get what he wants, it is also a blessing that he can improve his ambition in the search, improve his virtues, and become more and more difficult to cultivate, and even more difficult to achieve nirvana.

Nirvana is black dye, and Zi is black.

Nieguibuzi is a sentence in the "Motto" written by Cui Yuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which means that it will not change color even if it is infected by black.

At least for now, he came to Dongyang, where he gained new experience and insight in the Imperial Clan University of Ming Dynasty.

Knowing that there is actually a person in the world, regardless of people's livelihood and political views, he only talks about production.

And he said: "What you want, the people of the world, each will live out his own life, each will get what he wants, each will follow what he likes, each will develop his strengths, and he will do what he can, and it will be realized in the long-term future."

"The process of realizing it is bound to be long, and it will take several generations or even a dozen generations to insist on developing productive forces, improving industrialization, popularizing education, innovating technology, eradicating poverty, emancipating the mind, and finally realizing the equal prosperity of the country and the common prosperity of all people in the world. "

All the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Li Zhi's mind were thrown aside, and he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights excitedly.

He knows where the starting point is, and where the end point is, but he doesn't know where the road is. He once wanted to visit the great scholars of the capital to seek the road but failed, but he didn't expect that the road ahead would suddenly change beside the general of the Eastern Military Mansion. extremely clear.

Developing productivity and eradicating poverty are the only ways to achieve the road.

It was too easy for Chen Mu to say the correct answer. Li Zhi's utopia was so familiar to him that it was the goal he had fought for in the world he lived in the past.

People choose what they want to learn, rely on their own expertise to do things, choose the right company, follow the right talents to lead, and work hard to choose what kind of life to live their lives.

Although things often go against their wishes, everyone keeps fighting.

With all his energy, Li Zhi was not in a hurry to enter the Imperial Clan University. He didn't fully understand the matter of productivity. He planned to take a walk in Asia to see how the life of the people here was different from that in the mainland.

Who would have thought that after leaving like this, Li Zhi would really find his ideal country.

Daming is a coastal city in the northeast of Asia, and the county magistrate is Yang Zhaolong's Muye.

　Good morning!
