Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Chapter 110 IX Transition

After Feng Jun left with tears of gratitude and anticipation, Gao Jing finally couldn't bear it and went directly to the ground.

The head is habitually pillowed on Zi Nu's leg.

Zi Nu showed helplessness, but she didn't push her away, and said, "You punished someone, but you can still make people feel grateful to you... But why don't you let him erase all the debts?"

Gao Jing lazily said: "There was a law in the State of Lu back then: If Lu people saw their compatriots suffer misfortune and become slaves in foreign countries, as long as they can redeem these people and help them regain their freedom, they can get compensation and rewards from the state.

Zigong, a student of Confucius, redeemed Lu people from abroad, but refused the state's compensation.

Confucius said: If you have done something wrong, you can claim compensation from the state, which will not damage your character; but if you don’t receive compensation, no one in the state of Lu will redeem your dead compatriots.

If he was asked to wipe out all the debts, no one would borrow money if the common people urgently needed money in the future.

Common people borrowing money from the clan must be in urgent need of life-saving. As long as the interest rate is suppressed and the means of debt collection are well supervised, this kind of borrowing is actually a good thing.

On the contrary, if the common people know that they don’t have to pay back the borrowed money, they will definitely be lucky 493, and it will be even worse when the time comes! "

Zi Nu thought for a moment, smiled, rubbed Gao Jing's head, and said: "Yes, yes, the little girl can't say no to Mr. Right!"

Gao Jing smiled triumphantly, found a comfortable place for his head, and closed his eyes.

Zi Nu paused for a moment, and said, "Nong Yu and Xue Nu...are there really going to be a competition then?"

"Competition! And this kind of competition must be done frequently. By the way, the ticket price will be doubled, and the consumption in the venue will be increased as much as possible."

Gao Jing snorted coldly, and said: "These nobles always like to hide their money when they make money! The hidden gold is a piece of stone, and only the money that circulates is money... I help them make money, and I have to be responsible for helping them keep it. Money spent!

Lejia is helping them spend money! "

Zi Nu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Did you expect this day long ago? Like Lejia, like Armored Escort..."

"I planted a seed, it's one thing whether it grows or not, but another thing when it grows,"

Gao Jing closed his eyes and said, "The nobles are addicted to pleasure, so control their pleasure! Instead of killing people and deceiving the people for pleasure, why not come and listen to the dance music of the musicians, and you can cultivate yourself!"

Zi Nu said nothing more.

The room was much quieter, and Gao Jing closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

until……

There was a black shadow outside the house, and Mo Crow's voice came in: "Mr. Right, Zhang Liang has arrived."

"Let him in." Gao Jing said without opening his eyes.

"Yes!"

After a while, Zhang Liang walked in, and seeing Gao Jing's style, his usually gentle and elegant face rarely showed a little resentment: "Your Prime Minister is so leisurely! All the officials in the court are surrounded by you, but you are here... "

"Oh, so Zifang also complains about others?"

Gao Jing opened his eyes in surprise, and said cheerfully, "I always thought Zifang had no temper!"

Zhang Liang: "..."

"Haha, Mencius said: Those who work hard rule people, and those who work hard rule people. Everyone has a different division of labor. Sit down quickly."

After speaking, Gao Jing also sat up and asked, "How is the matter going?"

Zhang Liang sat down on his knees, took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, and unfolded it was a map.

Spreading the map on the table, Zhang Liang said: "The area has been divided, and the common people are scattered along the river bank. If all the land is reclaimed, South Korea will have tens of thousands of acres of more fertile land..."

"Just?" Gao Jing looked at the map and asked casually.

Zhang Liang smiled wryly, and said: "You can't hide it from the right minister... just need to build a road (bhdj) to connect the scattered common people, otherwise the traffic will be inconvenient!"

"If you want to be rich, build more roads!"

Gao Jing nodded in agreement, and said, "Is it because the treasury has no money?"

Zhang Liang said bluntly, "Your Majesty refuses to pay."

Gao Jing looked at the map, and stretched out his hand after a while.

Zi Nu handed over the pen tacitly.

Draw a new road on the map with a pen, put down the pen, Gao Jing said: "There is news that whoever pays to build a road, the truth allows him to set up checkpoints on the road and collect tolls for caravans... Well, accept ten years!"

The new route is not only long as planned by Zhang Liang, but also extends all the way into the country of Yan...

Zhang Liang thought about it for a while, and then he understood what Gao Jing meant, and couldn't help but said: "The talent of the right minister, Zhang Liang admires him!"

"The car is six feet tall." Gao Jing added.

This sentence immediately silenced both Zhang Liang and Zi Nu.

The distance between cars in Qin State is six feet.

Gao Jing also understood why they were silent, and said helplessly: "Han Fei always said that my reform was not thorough, and I should have done my best... The problem is that the King of Han does not approve of the reform at all. Without the support of the king, how can we talk about the reform?

Therefore, I can only circumvent the king of Han and carry out reforms in South Korea only if I win over the nobles internally and rely on the Qin State externally.

Besides, he only saw the present, not the future!

I just took a complete reform and split it, completing a part every two years!

The tasks of these two years are, first, to fill the population of South Korea, second, to make full use of the land of South Korea, and third, to divert the eyes of the nobles from the common people...

After these two years of tasks are completed, there will be another two years of tasks, and after that, there will be another one...

Without Han Wang's support, I can only use this subtle means to slowly change Korea! "

Rather than telling Zhang Liang again, Gao Jing asked Zhang Liang to convey it to Han Fei.

Han Fei is sulking because Gao Jing has revised the new law he compiled too much.

Zhang Liang also understood this point, and after the senior finished speaking, he said respectfully: "Liang will definitely convey it to Si Kou."

"Okay, go get busy."

Zhang Liang saluted again, then backed out.

After he left, Gao Jing suddenly said in a loud voice: "By the way, I would like to add that "the only thing is the tool and the name, you can't be a fake person, and the king is the boss"!"

Zi Nu didn't know, so she asked, "Who are you talking to?"

Gao Jing closed his eyes: "I don't know either."

But the King of Qin must have sent someone to monitor him and monitor his every move! .

Chapter 120 Names and Devices

"Vehicle" refers to the ritual vessel, which is extended to the king's ceremonial guard, including travel, sacrifice, funeral and so on.

And "name" refers to the power of the king to confer titles on his subjects.

Uncle Zhong Yu Xi rescued Sun Huanzi, the Shangqing of Wei State, so Wei Jun wanted to reward Uncle Zhong Yu Xi with a fief.

Uncle Zhong Yuxi said that he didn't want to enfeoff the land, but asked to use the "princes' ceremony" to meet with him, and use the ceremony of Qu Xuan and Fanying, and Wei Jun~ agreed.

Confucius heard about this at the time and said, "It's a pity! It's better to give him more fiefdoms. Only the server and title can't be handed over to others, and the monarch should be in charge. The title of title is a sign of people's trust. In the Only those who are superior can be trusted by others, and only then can they enjoy the car service."

"The utensils of the car and clothing embody the etiquette, and the etiquette is used to regulate benevolence and righteousness. Only by exercising benevolence and righteousness can profit be generated, and only when it is beneficial can the people be governed. This is the key to governing the country. If these people are artificially handed to others, it is to give people the state. The state is destroyed. Then the country will perish, and it will be difficult to resist-ah."

This is the saying in "Zuo Zhuan" that "names and utensils are the only ones, not fake people".

Take the emperor of Zhou as an example. When the Jin State dominated the Central Plains, the Zhou State was already weak and even inferior to the vassal states, but why was it as strong as the Jin State and did not dare to replace the Zhou State?

It is because Zhou Tianzi's majesty is still preserved.

Once a certain monarch of the Jin State hoped that he could be buried with the standard of the emperor after his death, so he sent an envoy to plead with the Zhou royal family.

At that time, the strength of the Zhou royal family was not comparable to that of Jin, but the reigning Emperor Zhou said that you can do whatever you want, but I will not give you permission.

In the end, the Jin monarch was buried according to the specifications of the princes.

Without the permission of Zhou Tianzi, the monarch who was as strong as Jin did not dare to overstep.

……

Gao Jing didn't know if King Qin's eyeliner was nearby. Anyway, he said what he said, and whether he could pass it on to King Qin was his business.

In fact, Gao Jing's current actions have gone a little too far.

He used wealth and official positions to make all the officials and nobles of South Korea follow his wishes to carry out reforms. To a certain extent, he has already emptied the King of Han.

It's just that the time is short, and Gao Jing has to "please play the king" in everything, so many people haven't realized it yet.

After a long time, King Han's existence will become dispensable...

Who asked Han Wang to hand over the extra appointment power to Gao Jing in order to save trouble?

This is equivalent to handing over the "name", that is, the power of "canonized officials" to Gao Jing.

……

After the Han, Wei and Zhao families were divided into Jin, the Jin system was still retained in many aspects of military and government affairs.

In the army, the one with the highest status is called "zhongjunjiang", which means the general of the "zhongjun" in the army.

Those who assist the "Zhong Jun Jiang" are called "Zhong Jun Zuo".

The army is also divided into the left army and the right army, but the Jin Dynasty is not called the left and right army, but the upper and lower army!

Therefore, there are also "supreme generals", as well as "shangjunzuo" for assistants, "lower generals" and "lower generals" for assistants.

These six positions are the highest in the South Korean army. Mastering these six positions is almost equivalent to mastering the entire army.

After this period of hesitation, coupled with Gao Jing's request to encourage other officials, King Han finally handed over the position of "General of the Central Army" to Zhang Han!

But at the same time, the position of "Zhong Junzuo" was handed over to Han Qiancheng, the adopted son of the fourth son Han Yu.

The other four positions were appointed by Zhang Han.

"Are you sure?"

After the court meeting, Gao Jing walked side by side with Zhang Han, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to transfer Han Qiancheng away for you?"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Shangqing filtered it, Zhang Han is sure!"

"That's fine, you pay attention to your own proportions."

Gao Jing didn't force it, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "What do you think is the difference between me and Guo Kaizhi now?"
