I Built the Salvation Organization

Looking at it this way, it can be deduced that there is nothing wrong with what the people seek to educate the side.

If it was the emperor who asked him at this moment, he would definitely nod.

However, in front of the immortal, he really couldn't nod.

How many people have the will and desire to so educate one!

Sweat was already dripping from Kong Yingda's forehead, and he already realized where the question he answered was.

There is nothing wrong with people asking for status after they have no worries about food and clothing, but what about after they have obtained status?

If you want to ask for a higher status, then it's better to say something.

But if that’s all, or if you can’t see further development and lose further goals, the motivation to learn, and even the constraints of ethics, will drop to a certain extent.

There are not a few corrupt officials who have read the books of sages and virtuous people.

"It's human nature for the people to seek high status and power." Ding Xiang said slowly, "But if everyone desires this, then there will be filth. How many officials can there be in the world? How can the system of selecting officials ensure fairness and justice, rather than being occupied by powerful families? In the long run, those who don’t get what they want will accumulate resentment, and conflicts will be difficult to resolve, and conflicts will arise suddenly.”

Kong Yingda lowered his head, dripping with cold sweat, already a little speechless.

The answer he gave was actually to expand the current model.

However, with the expansion of the model, the disadvantages have also expanded.

People in the world learn Confucianism, most of them just because learning Confucianism can make them gain status, but there are very few people who really follow Confucianism from the inside out.

That is to say, in this court, which one doesn't talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but thinks and acts for their own interests.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was already unable to answer.

Those around who raised their hands before were also a little silent.

Chapter 280 IX: This question is actually not difficult

When Kong Yingda spoke about his ideas just now, they couldn't find the disadvantage of this answer for a while.

After all, the common people can actually see that they have no worries about food and clothing and pursue status.

But what the fairy said later made them understand.

The essence of this question is not to ask what the people pursue, but to ask them what they want the people to pursue after they have no worries about food and clothing.

Those who can realize this are already the best among these people.

Most people suddenly discovered that their answers also had drawbacks.

Even Mo Hui, who was still confident just now, was dripping with cold sweat at this moment.

Because his answer was actually similar to Kong Yingda's.

The same is to teach the people.

It's just that it's not to teach the people etiquette and morality, but to teach the people "both love and non-aggression", which is the thought of Mohism.

Look at it this way.

Compared with what Kong Yingda said, the disadvantages are even bigger. After all, he himself knows that there are very few people who can really do what the Mohist said.

In fact, his confidence lies in the immortal.

He believes that under the restraint of immortals, everyone will love each other and the world will be in harmony.

But in the questioning of Kong Yingda by Fairy Lilac just now, she also completely put aside the existence of immortals.

Otherwise, if there is an immortal in control, how could such a thing as "inevitably filthy" happen.

In this way, he didn't know how to answer at all.

"Do you have anything to say?" Ding Xiang looked at the others again.

This time, no one raised their hands.

It was in stark contrast to the dozens of people raising their hands just now.

Even Li Shimin pursed his lips tightly and frowned at this time, but he couldn't think of any good answer at all.

What the people seek is food and clothing first, and then fame and status. There should be nothing wrong with this.

Not to mention the people.

Even if it is him, the same is true, otherwise why would he fight to the death with his own brother.

But here's the problem.

This process is also full of blood and filth.

So... there is no solution, no matter how you look at it, Li Shimin at this time actually has a feeling that "if the people of the world don't need to ask for food and clothing, the world will be in chaos".

"It seems that this is all you have gained." Ding Xiang's voice came again.

Some people have bowed their heads in shame.

The entire Chang'an, all the elites, are all here, and no one can give a reasonable answer.

And some people sighed in their hearts.

This is actually what they expected.
