Chapter 537
With this foundation, the state of Qin is invincible. As for the later Qin Emperor, the state will be rich in money and food, and the people and soldiers will have no worries about the future. Only then will they be able to break through thousands of miles, conquer the world in a few battles, and open the foundation of our country for eternity!
It can be seen from this that establishing the status of various classes, rewarding those who are more serious, and demoting those who are light, is of great benefit to the country! ”
Taking Qin as an example, Shao Wen believes that in order to make the country prosperous and strong, it should support industries that are beneficial to the country’s production as Qin did.
From the time of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Shang Yang began to encourage farming and reward the production of heaven and earth. For this reason, he also suppressed merchants and suppressed the status of Qin merchants.
This approach could just improve the state of Qin State, where money and food were insufficient, and the land was barren but uncultivated, and stimulated the enthusiasm of the people to participate in agricultural production.
And this also made the Qin country at that time become rich in money and food. It was with this foundation that the Qin emperor was able to send large armies to various places, conquer the six countries, and unify the world at that time.
After listening to Shao Wen’s remarks, Daoist Fuqing and some literati on the Confucian side nodded in agreement and said, “What you said is not bad.”
There is really nothing to refute these views of Shao Wen.
After all, the rise of the Qin state has been recorded in the history books, and what Shao Wen said is also true.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Shao Wencai continued: “Because of this precedent in the state of Qin, with an ignorant view, in today’s world, China should also be divided into upper and lower positions in all industries.
However, today’s China is not only dependent on farming, but also focuses on technology, industry, education, culture, mining, military and many other fields.
Only when such industries flourish, can I, China, make progress in many ways and become stronger day by day.
Therefore, the motherland should follow the example of the pre-Qin period, support such industries, establish the lofty status of the industries I mentioned, support the country’s dependence, and suppress other idle industries.
If this is the case, the domestic people will pay more and more attention to the industry, be proactive, and actively join in.
With time, the country can be prosperous, the people can be rich, and China can be strong. ”
On the platform in the lake, Shao Wenzheng expounded his views on all walks of life.
After Shao Wen finished speaking, a group of Confucian representatives applauded.
“Senior’s words are very good!”
Their views are similar to Shao Wen. In their view, if a country wants to be strong and gain a foothold in today’s world, it depends on industry, technology, education, mining, military and so on.
Under these industries, there are many businesses such as businessmen and actors.
These industries are of little benefit to the revived nation.
Therefore, they believe that the state should actively support the development of beneficial industries in the country and encourage the public to participate in these industries.
In this way, the country can rise faster and the motherland can be stronger.
Of course, Shao Wen did not mean to deny Huayin here.
Because everyone with a discerning eye knows that Huayin Group has grown to the present, and it is no longer a simple business group, but is responsible forThe heavy burden of the development of all walks of life in the country.
Like the education, military, technology and other industries mentioned above, Huayin Group not only participates, but also takes the lead.
However, after listening to Shaowen’s final conclusion, many people on the Taoist side shook their heads.
Daoist Master Fuqing snorted slightly and said, “The example of the pre-Qin period mentioned by Mr. is true, but we do not agree to continue with the point of view.”
Shao Wen frowned: “If that’s the case, I wonder what your Taoist views are?”
Daoist Fuqing was not polite and said calmly: “Mr. Fang Cai said that industry, education, military and other industries are the support of the state, and the state should encourage and support them. We have no objection to these views.
It’s just that my Taoist believes that, except for this type of industry, other industries need not be degraded as you Confucianists say.
The three, six, nine, and so on of the industry are the last resort of the ancients.
For example, when the Qin Dynasty was weak, the people emphasized commerce, so that no one could cultivate the land in the country. Only then did one country of Qin propose to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, encourage agriculture, and suppress merchants.
However, in today’s world, at a time of great changes, people’s thinking is constantly being reformed, and the social outlook is different from the old ones.
The ideas of freedom, harmony, and equality have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This was achieved by a generation of Chinese martyrs who fought to the death decades ago.
If at this time, all industries are tied to the shackles of high and low levels, it will be sailing against the current, not advancing but retreating! “.
Chapter 588: Confucianism Regresses
Daoist Fuqing’s remarks are very simple, but his tone is very firm.
He believed that the reason why the Qin State emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce was because of the social environment at that time.
At that time, the Qin people abandoned farming in order to gain wealth, and only wanted to make profits, which led to the desolation of the fields. Only then did the Qin state begin to reform the law, encouraging farming, and advocating the common people to abandon business and pursue farming.
But now the social environment is very different from the past.
Now that the idea of equality and freedom has taken root in the hearts of the people, the people are no longer willing to be bound by shackles.
And this kind of change was bought by the martyrs decades ago with blood and lives.
It is also because of this that various industries in China can now develop freely and vigorously, regardless of the high or low.
If we set some heavy rules for various industries, wouldn’t we go back?
When Shao Wen and others heard the words, they couldn’t help but start to ponder~.
On this point, Daoist Fuqing’s remarks are indeed – right.
After thinking for a while, Shao Wen nodded slightly and said: “What the Taoist said is quite reasonable, but if you don’t make rules, how can the country prosper, and Ru-Taoism can have laws?”
After hearing this, Daoist Fuqing replied: “The country is prosperous and the people are prosperous. It takes time to build up and accumulate. If a person is seriously ill, it cannot be cured in a day.
Now the country has entered a period of development and prosperity. At this time, my Taoist ancestors have long ago said that Taoism is natural, and it is quiet and inaction.
Everything exists, and there must be a reason for it.
At present, all walks of life in the country are booming, and although the people are scattered, they have not poisoned the country in general.
If you impose intervention, it will destroy the trend of all industries and industries, and in the end, you will suffer from it, and it will not be beautiful. ”
“The words of Daoist Master Fuqing are of great kindness!”
After listening to Daoist Fuqing’s remarks, many Taoist representatives behind him praised him.
Like Daoist Master Fuqing, they are all disciples of Taoism, and Daoist Master Fuqing’s remarks are also very consistent with their Taoist Huang Lao thinking, and people of Daoism are naturally beyond reproach.
On the opposite side of the Taoist representatives, Shao Wen and other Confucian representatives did not say anything after hearing Daoist Fuqing’s remarks.
Shao Wen and others naturally understand this point of view.
Daoist Master Fuqing is nothing more than saying that after every country is poor and weak, if it wants to become prosperous and strong, it must take time and space to accumulate, and it should not be rushed.
Just like a person is seriously ill, it is a truth that he cannot be expected to recover in a day.
And Daoist Fuqing believes that all industries in China are developing well now, and there is already a momentum of revival and rise. At this time, they should go with the flow.
On this point, the Taoist theory of Huang-Lao has already given the answer.
In the final analysis, it should be quiet and inaction, conform to the laws of development of today’s society, and not interfere too much.
Besides, in addition to the military, industry, science and technology, education and other fields, although many people have participated in other industries, these industries have not brought harm to the country.
On the contrary, the coexistence and development of these industries is beneficial to the comprehensive development of the country.
Therefore, for the current plan, the country only needs to establish good norms to ensure that all walks of life do not harm the country, and there is no need to interfere.
But Daoist Fuqing’s remarks still could not satisfy Shao Wen.
As Daoist Fuqing said, times are developing and changing. The current domestic background is different from the past. There are warlords and bandits inside, and there are powerful enemies outside.
In Shao Wen’s view, the quiet and inaction view of Huang-Lao’s theory is not applicable to the current domestic environment.
So Shao Wen retorted: “What the Taoist said has merit.
However, today the country has not been rejuvenated, there are calamities inside, and tigers and wolves are surrounding outside. This is a special period. Only by quickly rejuvenating the country can we be able to keep the country at bay and keep the world at peace.
Although Huang Lao’s words are applicable to the current industry development, they are not applicable to the current state of the country. What does the Taoist think about this? ”
“Yes and no!”
After listening to Shao Wen’s question, Daoist Fuqing gave an ambiguous answer.
Shao Wen believes that although the theory of Huang-Lao is applicable to the development of the industry, it is not applicable to the current situation of domestic and foreign troubles in the country. This is essentially no problem.
But Daoist Fuqing could hear it, and Shao Wen still hoped that he would agree with the Confucian view and divide all walks of life into a high and low order.
So Daoist Fuqing both affirmed and denied.
Immediately, he explainedDao: “Sir’s words are nothing more than still advocating the Confucian theory of dividing up and down.

However, I have said before that in today’s society, the trend of thought is based on equality and freedom, but the situation today is very different from that in ancient times.
The new era replaces the old dynasty, and the present is not the past. If Confucianism enforces the rules of the old to bind the people of today, it would be inappropriate, and it would not conform to the logic of the progress of the times. ”
“Well…that’s a good word.”
This time, when Daoist Fuqing finished speaking, not only the Taoist representatives nodded, but even some Confucian representatives on the opposite side began to approve.
When Daoist Fuqing saw this, he gave a slight salute to express his offense.
In fact, he said that these are only some of his own views, based on the principle of “Tao and nature”, combined with the current elaboration, rather than any dogma.
…
The meaning is very simple. Now the times have changed, a new era has arrived, and some old rules and regulations are no longer applicable to the current society.
If it is forcibly added to the people, it will not conform to the laws of the development of things and the change of the times.
And this view is naturally accepted by the Confucian people.
Those who can sit here for academic exchanges are all knowledgeable and flexible, not some rigid nerds.
So everyone knows workarounds.
And the words of Taoist priest Fuqing, even if they do not mention Taoist justice, they are also in line with the workaround.
In this regard, the Confucians of course have nothing to refute.
At this time, Shao Wen did not speak, he was thinking dialectically about some of the exchanges just now.
Although Daoist Master Fuqing’s words were simple and did not involve any profound academic principles, but with a glimpse of the leopard from the inside, Shao Wen’s careful taste can also comprehend the uniqueness of some Taoist principles.
Beside him, it was Zhao Pu who responded on his behalf: “The Taoist priest just said something, it can be said in seconds.
With social development and the progress of the times, our thinking should progress, and we should not believe in the laws of the ancients. This theory has been taught to us. ”
Zhao Pu’s remarks can be regarded as completely agreeing with the words and views of Taoism.
