Cultivation: From the Inauguration of Druid

What Xu Zi said should be right. The people are the cornerstone of the country. Without the people, there is no country.

Ling Qing nodded, he naturally understood the reason.

Taking history as a mirror, looking at history, is there any dynasty that did not cause anger and resentment because of the poor livelihood of the people, resulting in the extinction of national sacrifices and the repetition of heaven and earth?

Which dynasty perished when the people had enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment?

If the people are safe, the country will be prosperous, and if the people complain, the country will perish.

Since you came to the throne, you have cultivated barren fields, sowed a hundred grains, stored spiritual fields, and planted spiritual food. This is also based on the people.

However, Jun Jun has never really penetrated into it, and he has not seen the change of people's hearts in it.

How can you really follow the people's heart?

Xu Xing put the bamboo slips recorded in his hand aside, and said solemnly to Ling Qing.

In the world, the people are fertile fields, and their hearts are crops. A ruler should be like an old farmer. Only by following the weather and responding to the hearts of the people can he govern and prosper the country.

Xing believes that the king should farm and eat with the people, so that he can truly realize the wishes of the people.

Fang Wei is wise.

Ling Qing felt a little thoughtful when she heard this.

Not to mention that since the Han Dynasty, the emperor's personal farming is an important etiquette tradition.

Even in the current Zhou Dynasty, there is a record of the son of heaven plowed in the southern suburbs and worshiped together.

This etiquette can be passed on for a long time, and there is a reason for it.

Now it is explained by his saying that the people are the field and the heart is the food, which is really the case.

Please be taught.

Ling Qing was fully dressed, and bowed respectfully to Xu Xing.

In the past, the king of Chu was so thin-waisted that many people died of starvation in the palace.

It is not uncommon to see the effect of the upper and lower, which shows the strong role of the monarch in setting an example.

Xu Xing was overjoyed when he heard the words, put down the brush in his hand, looked at Ling Qing and said: Your Excellency can understand this, Xing feels very relieved.

If the rulers, the people, the nobles and the nobles can all plow and eat together, then those who plow will have their own food.

There is no need to set up warehouses and treasuries in that country, so that the people are rich and the country is strong and the king is virtuous.

Assuming that if you can market Jiabuer, there will be no hypocrisy in the country. Even if there are young children who are suitable for the market, don't deceive them.

Hearing this, Ling Qing frowned a little.

Xu Xingfang explained to him the theory of the monarch and the people working together and the price theory of the city and the family.

It requires everyone to become a self-reliant laborer, and opposes the idea of ​​equalitarianism and common labor that the monarch hurts the people to support himself.

Then price all things uniformly. If the quantity of goods is the same, the prices will be equal.

In this way, no businessman will take advantage of market high profits to exploit.

Lingqing had naturally studied some of Xu Xing's remarks before, especially Mencius·Xu Xingpian.

Among them, what Mencius criticized was also Xu Xing's absolute fairness.

Mencius believed that people in the world either work with their minds or with their labor. Those who work with their minds govern others, and those who work with their strength rule others.

It is impossible for the monarch to both cultivate and rule the world.

At the same time, the price difference is determined by the nature of the item. If the price of rough shoes and fine shoes is the same, who will make fine shoes?

This will only make people cheat and lead the country into chaos, which is harmful to the country.

Although Mencius wanted to criticize and suppress Xu Xing's peasant thoughts, he did mention their inconsistencies.

However, it does not mean that Xu Xing's remarks, as Mencius criticized, are the Southern Barbarian's decisive tongue, the way of slandering the former kings.

These two theories can be said to be the truth of enriching the people and strengthening the country, making the country prosperous and the people safe.

The reason why Ling Qing frowned was because his theory was too ideal, too absolute, and too simple.

I am afraid that if you want to realize it, you will either return to the ancient times, or you will want the world to be unified.

Not to mention today's war-torn world, even future generations will not be able to do it.

At that moment, Ling Qing bowed to Xu Xing.

In my opinion, people take agriculture as their foundation, and rulers take agriculture as their virtue.

Cultivating mulberry is an end for the people, but a means for the king.

The people need it for food and clothing, so they cannot be separated from it for a moment.

And the ruler should control farming and mulberry affairs, set an example for the people, and make the people follow suit.

After all, this country can be based on agriculture, but this does not represent the whole of a country.

There are also merchants, sergeants, teachers, and craftsmen.

A king should be inclusive, and only those who have both can be called virtuous.

The combination of the monarch and the people should not mean that the king can only cultivate and feed himself, weave and wear himself.

It is to let the king experience the hardships of farming and weaving, so as to pay attention to agriculture and love the people, set an example for the world, and enable people to follow suit.

The same is true in other aspects. Only by understanding the capabilities of sergeants can they make the best use of their talents and enable them to better protect their homeland.

Only by understanding the interests of merchants, the consumption capacity of the people, and the quality of goods can we regulate the corresponding prices.

Create greater benefits without causing merchants to harm the people.

and so on.

Ling Qing stretched out a finger, showing the territory of the Ling Kingdom in front of the two of them.

Hundred grains of spiritual food are indispensable, but they are only one of the country's treasures.

As he spoke, on the land in front of him, on all the arable land, a red aura rose up, turning into a red Zhang in the south.

Whether it is planting hundreds of grains or hundreds of plants, you need to understand the corresponding rules of heaven and earth, so the inheritance of knowledge is indispensable.

Knowledge related to various wisdoms and methods derives a sense of continuous inheritance, which turns into a green jade in the East.

Inspired by this Qinggui, the red energy manifested in the country surged sharply, prompting Chizhang to shine brightly.

This is improving the efficiency and yield of farming through knowledge.

And if we want to pass on knowledge in an orderly manner, we must formulate corresponding systems.

Not only can it clearly distinguish the distinctions of various inheritances, but it can also distinguish the order of dignity and set the standard of all things.

The size of items, the level of price, and the level of dignity reveal a sense of norms and standards, which turn into a mysterious place in the north.

After combing through this normative meaning, the inheritance of knowledge and the advantages and disadvantages of the things created by inheritance are clearer, and the application is more efficient.

The light above Qinggui and Chizhang is even better.

Everything is changeable.

If it is replaced from time to time, any system or norm will turn into chaos again in its barbaric growth.

And if you want to straighten it, you need power to replace it and keep it for a long time.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and there is no change in the world without bloodshed.

A sense of iron and blood turned into a white amber in the West.

Pruning and maintaining the system all the time, so that it does not fall into chaos, but becomes more refined and clear.

This strength requires energy to maintain.

The vast territory and countless people are the source of its strength.

And the Spiritual Food of Hundred Grains can make this source of power inexhaustible.

Therefore, spiritual food of hundreds of grains, knowledge inheritance, etiquette state system, and military conquest complement each other and are the four pillars of the state.

Only then can this endless territory be opened up and the country last forever.

When the four square ritual vessels are formed, a cycle is formed to encourage and achieve each other.

There are borders and land turned into a yellow cong carrying four ritual vessels.

And the gathering of the Qi of the ritual vessels from all directions should be turned into a square of green jade on top of the national fortune and ancestral sacrifice.
