Chapter 158 Jian (fifteen)
Xunzi didn't understand why.
His purpose is to be peaceful and peaceful in the world.
And not only him, but most Confucians and scholars have the same idea.
At most, it is just to seek some benefits for yourself on this basis.
Nothing to do with this kind of thing is taboo.
This can be said to be the most noble ideal under the current moral standards.
If children think so, they have lofty ambitions, while the older generation think so, they will never forget their original aspirations.
There is no problem with this idea.
But why has it become a simple thing again?
Is there anything more complicated and loftier than this?
Xunzi didn't understand.
"In the world, there will be peace without the suffering of war; if the rule of law is strict, Chang'an will get rid of the desire for chaos." Ju Zizhou replied.
Xunzi nodded slightly.
This is indeed a question that many scholars have thought about.
But how to "one"?
Is it like the past?
The Zhou emperor divided the feudal system, and the princes were united, and his bloodline lasted forever in the world.
In that case, we can only follow the old path and Confucius' old path, and advocate that everyone be moral and return to the old etiquette.
But reality has proved to everyone one thing-the old road cannot be done!
As if it was in the past, then time passed, the population increased, the demand increased, and everything would return to the current origin.
It is definitely not possible to simply promote morality to check and balance, and restore Zhou rituals to achieve "one" in the world!
This is the reason why Confucianism has been beaten by Yang Zhu and Huang Lao so far.
Everyone actually knows that change should be required, so the "one" road in the world advocated by Confucius in the past is a dead end!
Mencius's improvement path based on this, based on the well-field system was even more garbage so much that it could no longer be garbage.
When Xunzi was considering it, he didn't even take Meng Ke's style as a reference.
But besides these, how can we "one"?
Ju Zizhou has been in charge of reforms in Qin, and it was heard that it was to divide the land.
Could it be related to this?
Xunzi carefully considered various possibilities.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ju Zizhou waited quietly.
Such a person cannot be like an ordinary person, and he must listen to others in everything.
Either put the facts in front of him and asked him to see them by himself, or just say something, he thought about it for a while, and pondered every word you said over and over again.
Ju Zizhou is not able to put the facts in front of him now.
Therefore, we can only let Xunzi think about it by himself.
After a while, Xunqiu raised his head and looked at Ju Zizhou: "Please give me advice."
He really couldn't imagine other reliable "Yi" world model, so he could only listen to Ju Zizhou's thoughts.
By the way, Xunzi also wanted to know what kind of world it was to give Ju Zizhou such confidence. He actually felt that the idea of promoting morality and formulating new "rituals" to achieve great governance in the world, social stability, and long-term stability is simple and not worth pursuing.
Since this is the case, you will give a possibility that is more vast and more feasible and more convincing.
"Does the Master know, "county"?" Ju Zizhou asked.
"Outside the country, the monarch is directly under the jurisdiction of the foreign leaders." Xunzi nodded: "There are more Qin than other countries."
He paused for a moment and asked, "What do you mean is to abandon the feudal system, but to divide all the lands of the world into counties and counties, and to send subordinate ministers to govern them by the monarch?"
Ju Zizhou looked at Xunzi in surprise.
Can't you get this by yourself?
"Do Master Xun think it is not feasible?" Ju Zizhou was curious.
Xunzi shook her head: "I don't know whether it is feasible or not, but what I know is too out of the way."
"Even half of the land in the world can be transformed into counties!" Xun Qiong said confidently.
"Why deviate from reality?"
"Because there is no way," Xunzi said: "It was not easy for the clan to raise scholars, to study, to cultivate oneself, and to cultivate virtue. What we seek for is greater benefits through such difficult actions."
"This is the interest of the feudal system."
"Only the benefits obtained from the fief of the land can satisfy the clan's desire."
"Only by meeting the benefits you want can more clans and scholars devote themselves to such measures, the policy can continue."
"But if you are only a monarch's official and supported by the monarch, you need to get more benefits than fief in a short period of time to maintain the policy's continued."
"In this way, we must occupy more state expenses and form more taxes. In the long run, we will form invasion."
"In this way, the country's military equipment will be reduced and the country will be destroyed."
Xunzi pondered for a moment and added: "This is a method that cannot be maintained. And to calculate it, we should still respect morality. We must also respect morality more as we now so that the most basic order can be maintained."
Ju Zizhou looked up and down at Xunzi.
Don’t you, old man, understand these things very well?
...
The army passed by, and twenty Qin soldiers were left in the city.
According to normal logic, twenty people cannot maintain their dominance in a newly occupied small county town of nearly 10,000 people.
But, strangely, for most of the time, people are less rational, so rational that everyone can think and act logically.
This is exactly the case with the Koreans at this time.
More than a thousand common people had husbands lined up under the command of two Qin soldiers who had not yet recovered from injury and went to collect equipment and carry out various tasks.
Build roads, dig canals, repair city walls, and patrol the city.
These complicated tasks are done by Koreans.
The Qin Bing's mission is to arrange work and pay rewards for them.
There is basically no punishment because basically no one violates the law.
As long as food is guaranteed to be distributed, Koreans are willing to be obedient.
They did not initiate a rebellion and took the opportunity to kill the Qin soldiers and seize more food.
The Qin soldiers were originally worried, but after a day or two of the running-in, they became bolder.
Jing directed the man to bring out malt candy, picked some of it with a small wooden stick, and raised it to the death and shouted: "Look in line, line up quickly, don't have sugar to eat if you don't line up!"
He shouted like this, and the originally noisy children became even louder, but then they lined up.
It is crooked and slanted, and overall, it does look like a team.
"You wait for the son, and you have received the candy from His Majesty the King of Qin, but you must do your best to His Majesty the King of Qin and obey His Majesty the King of Qin's instructions."
"After receiving the candy, quickly patrol all parts of the city. If you find suspicious people or team up, you want to sneak out of the city or throw things out of the city, you can come to our office to report the situation immediately. I will give the reporter a reward of two kilograms of candy!"
