Chapter 105 Bewitched

"Of course!" Chen Lang looked at Ju Zizhou's expression and felt a little satisfied.

There are few people who know the name Ju Zizhou, and its spread is limited to the powerful, so even Ju Zizhou could not have imagined that Chen Lang knew Ju Zizhou.

This is information difference. For people from hundreds of schools, a little bit of information difference can often determine a person's life and death.

"My junior brother must know that Qin's law is strict, especially for merchants!" Chen Lang said, pointing to Xu Jin beside him: "If you don't believe it, you can ask this Qin man."

Ju Zizhou was not too slow and moved his eyes to Xu Jin: "Brother Xu, is Qin Fa very strict with merchants?"

Xu Jin thought for a while and nodded: "It's quite strict."

Ju Zizhou looked back at Chen Lang.

Chen Lang had a smile on his lips: "How about it, junior brother, do you still think it's okay to be a hawker here now?"

"Now, do you still think there is no problem with this construction site called copper and iron furnace?" Chen Lang asked.

Ju Zizhou nodded: "Senior brother is right, there is really something wrong with this construction site!"

"Not only has problems, but also huge problems!" Chen Lang said: "But this construction site was not banned by the King of Qin, but it still exists... There must be some reasons why we don't know!"

He said this on purpose, in order to make Ju Zizhou unable to help but defend himself.

But Ju Zizhou nodded: "Yes, there must be some reason we don't know about this. Otherwise, this kind of thing that conflicts with the essence of the Qin State's governance center should have been shut down long ago!"

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows.

Not just defending it?

Do you really don’t care, or are the methods that are more secret and cannot be told to outsiders?

Chen Lang didn't think Ju Zizhou would have no corresponding means.

The situation in Qin is quite special at present. The prince who Ju Zizhou valued was weak and connected with the Chu forces to persuade the King of Qin to dislike him. If Ju Zizhou did not have any means to deal with such a thing that was contrary to the basic national policy of Qin, then his "copper and iron furnace" would not be able to be opened from the beginning.

And now, the copper and iron furnace has even expanded its enrollment once!

This at least shows that Ju Zizhou has a way to alleviate the conflict between the existence of the copper and iron furnace itself and the basic national policy of the Qin State.

So...what is this method?

Ju Zizhou's wind and clouds were light and he didn't care, which made Chen Lang feel itchy.

"Junior brother." Chen Lang thought for a while and said, "Why is the Qin State, which takes Huang Lao as the foundation of governance, not valued by nobles?"

Ju Zizhou thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Lao is thinking about it. I am not valued by noble people. I think the main problem is myself!"

"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!" Chen Lang said.

"Senior brother knows that my Taoist knowledge focuses on the exploration of the fundamental principles of the movement of things, and on the grasp of people's hearts and the governance of the country as the details. It is supplemented by methods of conduct, moral education, lessons and other categories. It is a unique family among the hundreds of schools of thought." Ju Zizhou's face showed a tangled look: "I also learned this, but no matter how I think, I feel that the governance of Qin is very problematic!"

Chen Lang was shocked.

He asked quickly: "What do you think is the problem?"

"All things in the world always develop forward without stagnation; people always move from young to old age without any stop. The politics of a country is like a person, and should have developments of life, rise, fall, and destruction. However, the Qin State forcibly limits politics and laws to a range, curbs their development, and encloses their operating rules."

"Don't you think there is something wrong with your senior brother?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Chen Lang opened his mouth, his heart was filled with wild fire, and he could not stop his thoughts.

He knew that this was Ju Zizhou using rhetoric to stir up his thoughts, but such topics, such statements, such metaphors...

He couldn't help but substitute himself into the concept that Ju Zizhou said.

The Shang, Zhou, Song, Jin, Zheng, Wei, and Zheng...

All countries have a timely process of changing politics and laws.

Only... Only Qin State has been rolling in the same circle since the Shangjun reformed a hundred and fifty years ago.

Laws often change only before and after the war, and the smallest change is the most common among all countries.

And over the years...

Whether the King of Qin is wise or stupid, the changes in Qin State are changing in a determined direction.

No matter how short-lived the monarch is, how corrupt the administration is, or how strange the personal tendencies of the ruling ruling seem to be unable to bring unplanned changes to the country.

this……

Yes!

This country...is like being forced to contain all the possibilities of its development and change, and is dying towards a known dangerous path.

People in this country are destined to be born with destiny.

They always condensed their lives and their country's lives in that young era with one war after another.

This country...

Chen Lang took a deep breath and was about to say something, but Ju Zizhou said again: "Senior brother, do you think there is something wrong, right?"

"The Qin State's government has been broken, and the bad lies in the way people gain profits are trampled on; the bad lies in the way people have made profits that are in accordance with the laws of nature, such as business, traveling, working, hunting, etc.; the bad lies in forcibly suppressing human nature with harsh laws..."

Ju Zizhou looked at Chen Lang and his tone was extremely dangerous: "I think Zi Mozi is right. Although he is born with noble and low status, the power to enjoy basic means of profit should be equal. What do you think?"

Chen Lang couldn't help but nod.

The Mohist theory has always been eccentric, but it is often correct.

But today, the Mohist ethos mentioned by Ju Zizhou seems to be different from what I have heard in the past?

Chen Lang wanted to think and confirm it, but Ju Zizhou was talking again.

The sound was like mercury, constantly drilling from the ears to the mind.

Chen Lang has no time to confirm it.

"Senior brother, a slight profit cannot be taken, and a slight profit cannot be taken... We should be said to be incompatible with profit and righteousness, and power and responsibility equally. Because opportunities between people should be equal, the power of human beings as "humans" that conforms to nature is inviolable; human private property is also inviolable?"

"boom"!

It seemed like a loud bang, and some diaphragm was opened in my mind.

In Chen Lang's mind, all the calculations no longer exist.

Ju Zizhou was still talking about something slowly.

"...so, this kind of exploitation of Qin State is in line with nature..."

Chen Lang listened to these words, but seemed to be completely unable to understand and hear them.

There were only those two sentences in his mind.

"The power of the land as a "person" that is inviolable; private property is inviolable."

These two sentences are similar to the principles that Chen Lang has always learned, but they are more thorough and straightforward.

It seemed to deny the correctness of all current states and systems, and to equal the nobles, kings and princes; it seemed to recognize that the profit was inalienable and unobstructed, and it seemed to break something from Chen Lang's mind.

Chen Lang looked at Ju Zizhou.

Ju Zizhou looked at Chen Lang with a smile.

Come into my place!

Ju Zizhou raised an arc of joy at the corner of his mouth.
Chapter completed!
