There are a total of three usable pistols, and the fact that the scientist can occupy one of them shows that Ying Chengyu has great trust in him.
As one of the people Ying Chengyu trusts the most, the scientist is very familiar with Ying Chengyu's abilities and power, and knows that Ying Chengyu's promise is not a boast, but a fact.
The scientist's face was filled with excitement, and he fisted heavily in front of his chest with both hands.
"The Mo family will never let you down!"
"I hope so, go and get busy."
The funds are about to arrive, and they have also obtained the authority to govern Yiyang. The scientist didn't talk nonsense and turned around to leave. He was too busy.
Research on hybrid rice, steel refining, and various equipment are all the business of the Mohist family. As a giant of the Mohist family, the scientist is the busiest among the many disciples of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion.
Guiguzi saw the scientist walking away.
"Yiyang has given scientists a gift, what do you plan to do, Lord Han?"
“What can your majesty teach me?”
"If people don't have human nature, they can't be called human beings. Human nature cannot be erased. Greed, lust, arrogance, these are all human nature. Officials control people's lives and kill them, and the power of the two sides is not equal. Except for this strange flower of the Mohist family, In addition to controlling oneself, others will think highly of themselves and despise the people.
"Completely eradicating human nature is like leaving trees without roots and only dying. The Mohist method cannot be popularized. When it comes to governing the country, Xunzi's method is the best choice. Pay attention to the law and restrict the people with strict laws. Establish morality and guide the people with virtue. . A two-pronged approach can achieve great things. Confucius is not as good as Xunzi."
Ying Chengyu turned his head and looked at Qiang who was standing respectfully.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to train these people again, and then enact severe punishments so that officials will not dare to do anything inappropriate?"
Guiguzi smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.
"I am willing to listen to your arrangements."
The governor of Xinzheng County half bowed to him and said in a deep voice.
"Why do we want to curb human nature? Why can't we indulge human nature?"
Guiguzi's smile stopped and his fingers became a little stiff.
"...Does Your Majesty agree with Mencius's words or Xunzi's words?"
Mencius is the theory of good nature, Xunzi is the theory of evil nature.
If Ying Chengyu agrees with Mencius, he agrees with the theory that human nature is good, then there is no problem with this statement. Indulging human nature is good.
But if you agree with Xunzi’s words and the theory of evil nature, this statement will be very problematic.
Guiguzi stayed in the Chang'an Jun's Mansion for so long and talked with Ying Chengxi and Xunzi countless times. He remembered what Ying Chengyu said: Human nature is difficult to look at directly.
This sentence does not sound like it agrees that human nature is good.
"Human nature is hard to look at directly." Ying Chengyu said softly: "Human nature is inherently evil."
"Then Your Majesty..."
Gui Guzi, who had lived for hundreds of years, didn't know how to proceed. He felt that Ying Chengyu was going from one extreme to another.
Before Marxism-Leninism changed, we thought about enlightening the people's wisdom, reducing torture, benefiting the people, and strengthening the people. After Ma Li took matters into his own hands, he found it difficult to do what he had previously thought, and even thought of indulging human nature.
Guiguzi knows very well the consequences of indulging human nature. Marxism-Leninism is a living example. Such behavior will definitely cause chaos.
"I'm not sick, I'm telling the truth." Ying Chengyu thought: "It's better to block it than to remove it. No matter how strict the laws are, loopholes will be found, and no matter how noble the morals are, they will eventually be corroded. In this case, we might as well Take advantage of human nature.”
"Have your Majesty heard about Tian Dan's restoration of the country?"
"Of course I've heard of it."
"Then your Majesty, do you know that Le Yi conquered more than 70 cities in Qi within five years? Why were Jimo and Ju able to withstand Le Yi's offensive for half a year, until Tian Dan restored the country with Jimo?"
After the governor Qiang started talking, he no longer felt much inferiority. The question Guiguzi asked happened to be something he knew, so he smiled and said:
"I heard that Le Yi believed that relying on force alone to destroy the city could not convince the people. Even if the people were not convinced, even if they completely occupied Qi, they would not be able to consolidate it. Therefore, they adopted the policy of besieging Jucheng and Jimo but not attacking them. The regions implemented policies to win over people's hearts, such as reducing taxes, abolishing tyranny, respecting local customs and habits, protecting Qi's inherent culture, and giving preferential treatment to local celebrities, in order to fundamentally disintegrate Qi."
Ying Chengyu shook his head.
"It's just rhetoric. In Le Yi's time, there was no such thing as popular support. Why didn't he think about conquering the popular support in the first seventy cities? He only thought about the last two cities."
Qiang scratched his head and said with a smile:
"That means Le Yi wants to be the king of Qi? But that doesn't make sense. If that's true, King Yan Zhao's order to make him the king of Qi has been given to Le Yi. If Le Yi can't just obey, why should he die? What if you don’t obey?”
Ying Cheng looked at Gui Guzi with a smile.
"This question, as Le Yi's master, I believe the prince can give us an answer."
"Le Yi's teacher?"
Qiang doesn't care how Ying Chengxuan governs the country. He only knows how to obey orders. Therefore, he doesn't feel much about Ying Chengxuan's rhetoric of indulging in human nature. On the contrary, he is more interested in the secrets of Guiguzi being Leyi's teacher.
"This is what I want to tell you, human nature."
Gui Guzi was not arrogant, he was very calm and authentic. It seemed that he had taught Le Yi, who almost destroyed Qi, and that was not something to be proud of.
"The bad guy is a Yan general who led the five-state coalition forces of Zhao, Chu, Han, Wei, and Yan, and conquered more than 70 cities in Qi State. The land he conquered was larger than that of Yan State. With heavy troops and such a large land, The bad guy wants to be king.
"If the villain declares himself a king on the spot, and the young and old in the five-nation coalition army divide the five kingdoms, there will not be many soldiers behind them who can follow the villain. Once the army is dispersed, there will be no land. The villain will not be able to establish a country, so he does not dare to do this.
"He could only keep the five-nation coalition in his hands by leaving two cities in a state of invulnerability. He wanted to delay time and managed more than 70 cities across the land. It would take more than ten years before he could establish a country.
"However, King Yan Zhao also saw what he had done, so he issued the order to make the king. If the bad guys accept it, they will have fallen into King Yan Zhao's plan. When the soldiers from the other four countries are gone, King Yan Zhao will go to Qi to seize the throne in person. The power of bad soldiers.
"At that time, not only will the bad disciple not be the king of Qi, but he will die in the hands of King Zhao of Yan, and all the land of Qi will belong to Yan. Tian Dan can restore the Qi country with one city of Jimo, which is not only Tian Dan's talent, but also the help of the bad disciple. merit.
"If King Zhao of Yan can firmly control the bad guys and prevent them from indulging their temper, then the Yan Kingdom will occupy the largest land. In contrast, the Qin General Wang Jian has unprecedented control capabilities.
"Wang Jian had the most powerful 600,000 Qin army in the world at his disposal, but he still did not dare to have any different intentions. After pacifying Chu, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately handed over the military power. Qin finally dominated the world. Your Majesty, you want to To be King Zhao of Yan or King of Qin?"
Ying Chengyu thought for a moment.
"Human nature is evil, and evil is the pursuit of various desires. Have you ever heard of the famous saying: Desire is the ladder of human progress."
Guiguzi's face remained calm.
[Your Majesty, are you making nonsense again? ]
"No, who said that?"
"In short, he is a famous person. His name is submerged in history. This is not important. What is important is..."
"Your Majesty, I have lived for a long time." Guiguzi insisted: "Zen may not know someone who is unknown to others. Please tell me this person's name."
"Maslow, have you heard of it?"
Ying Chengqiao blurted out.
"I have never heard of it before. This name is as weird as the name of Marxism-Leninism given by you."
Guiguzi chuckled.
[If you are not a person from the world above, you are a person who was fabricated by your Majesty! ]
"I told you that you haven't heard it yet, and you still don't believe it."
Ying Chengyu seemed to have not heard the doubts in Guiguzi's words.
"Maslow divided human needs into five levels from low to high: life, safety, socialization, esteem, and self-actualization.
"Li Chenconcubine is in the first stage, and their minds are full of thinking about how to live.
“Civilians are in the second stage and want a safe situation if their lives can be sustained.
"Strengthening them is in the third stage, gaining a sense of identity in the process of interacting with others.
"Nobles and gentry are all in the fourth stage. They want to show themselves different through various behaviors, such as eating delicious food and sleeping with beauties. They want to prove that they are above others and gain respect from others.
"The scientist is in the fifth stage, and he wants everyone in the world to live in the third stage. This is the Mohist vision.
"These are all desires in human nature. Scientists are not without human nature, but their humanity is too high."
It was the first time Guiguzi heard of such a precise analysis, and he silently wondered what stage he was in. As soon as he had this thought, he immediately squinted his eyes and stopped.
He could not help but follow the instructions, which proved that he not only listened, but also did not find any loopholes. He originally thought that Ying Chengyu was talking nonsense, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Your Majesty's remarks sound somewhat reasonable."
Ying Chengyu frowned and slapped Guiguzi hard twice, which made Guiguzi frown in pain.
"Don't think that it makes sense because I said it. If I get involved, think carefully about whether this is right or not. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. This is the first time the world has been unified. No one can Know whose way is right. Xunzi, Han Fei, scientists and others are like this, and so am I."
Guiguzi rubbed his slapped arm and sighed:
"Zen was just wondering what level Zen is at, and I didn't figure it out. But now it seems that Junshang is at the highest level of self-realization."
Ying Cheng smiled like a turtle, and stretched out his hand to make a slapping gesture.
Wang Chan's old legs ran very fast, and he was able to distance himself from Ying Chengyu in just a few steps.
"Prince, please be more sincere when flattering me. Don't act like I'm forcing you to say it."
Ying Chengyu frightened Wang Chan, then he pondered for a moment and continued:
"Without desire, nothing can be done. Le Yi was able to conquer more than 70 cities in Qi. He must have gone to Guangzong Yaozu in the first place? Who would fight for King Yan Zhao without benefits? King Yan Zhao probably didn't know it at the beginning. Le Yi is so fierce that he can almost destroy Qi State, so the official rank he promised should not be that high.
"When Le Yi defeated only two cities in Qi, he was worried about Le Yi's independence, so he sent this order. If King Yan Zhao could increase the reward at that time, would Yan become the largest country?"
Guiguzi poured a ladle of cold water on Ying Chengyu.
"Zen believes that it is more likely that the bad guys are greedy and want more."
"Haha, let's talk about Wang Jian. The 20th-level military meritorious deeds of the Great Qin Dynasty clearly marked the price. Do you think it's because the emperor's brother is so good at controlling people, or because the Great Qin Dynasty has indulged in human nature? I think it's the latter. When Wang Jian went to war as a father and son, Xianyang left no clue.
"The Qin army only recognizes the tiger talisman and enforces orders and prohibitions. With 600,000 Qin troops in hand, how can Wang Jian not be able to defeat him? No matter how brilliant he is in controlling his subordinates, they will be crushed under the iron hooves of the 600,000 Qin troops. "
Guiguzi thought for a moment. He was not a bully and would not refute for the sake of refutation.
After thinking about it for a moment, I felt that what the Lord analyzed was possible, so I nodded.
"It makes sense."
Ying Chengyu narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Then let's do this and continue to be the governor of Xinzheng County."
After Ying Chengyu and Gui Guzi had an in-depth discussion, they couldn't understand each other. Qiang, who could no longer interrupt, finally understood what he said. He bowed slightly and said with a wry smile:
"How can Qiang be so sorry to you? Why do you want to kill Qiang? Qiang has told you that you can't withstand temptation, so why do you still want to be the county guard?"
Ying Chengqiao supported Qiang.
"As long as it can catch mice, it doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat. People don't care whether you collect money or not, and they don't care whether you take concubines. What they care about is whether they can afford a house and whether they can afford a wife. Mr. Xi.
"As long as we can make a living with the people, I not only don't care if you are more corrupt, but I also think it is what you should do. It is human nature to pursue money and want a better life. I am not a Mohist tycoon, and I will not ask you to be poor. .
"As long as you can make the people eat four dishes and one soup every day, you will create a wine pond and meat forest and the people will support you and praise you. You will be a good official in the eyes of the people, and in my eyes too."
Guiguzi looked at Ying Chengyu with strange eyes. After living for hundreds of years, this was the first time he saw a master who blatantly wanted his subordinates to be corrupt.
Qiang hesitated.
"Then Marxism-Leninism..."
Even though he had great faith in Ying Chengxuan, he really didn't dare to be the one who made the same mistakes before him.
He could die for Ying Chengyu, but he didn't want to die. He was still waiting for his son, who was less than one year old, to call him father.
"A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Although we are not gentlemen, we must have a certain bottom line. Marxism-Leninism achieved enrichment by selling and humiliating concubines. It only enriched itself and ignored others. So kill him."
"Please tell me what the bottom line is. Otherwise, as the governor of Xinzheng County, my neck will feel cold all the time, as if it is about to fall off at any time."
Pa~
Ying Chengyu casually slapped Qiang on the head, laughed and cursed:
"Stupid. If you take a concubine, someone can take it to your doorstep. It's okay if the two of you are in love, but you can't take it by force. Do you understand?"
Qiang rubbed his head and giggled, nodding his head repeatedly to say that he understands it.
If it weren't for the fear of being killed by Ying Chengyu, he wouldn't want to step down as the governor of Xinzheng County. What's the good thing about being a secret guard? Although the salary is good, the sword licks blood.
The Xinzheng County Sheriff completely outshone the secret guards in terms of safety, money, and reputation. Only fools become secret guards when they have a choice.
Ying Chengyu turned around and held Guiguzi's hand, and said sincerely:
"Prince, you have always been by my side and know my wishes. Except for Yiyang, other matters in Han are troublesome to the prince."
Guiguzi tried to break away, but failed to break free, roaring angrily in his heart.
[I knew it! I knew it! You won't be able to do anything for long! Just as hot as a cup of tea! Never forget to be the boss! ]
He smiled gently and said:
"I am the source of trouble. I may not be able to hold a big position."
Ying Chengyu sighed in disappointment.
"My lord, are you too petty? People say that the disciples can support a boat in their belly. As a Guiguzi, you are superior to the disciples. How can you support two boats?"
[Making nonsense again on the spot! ]
Guiguzi looked serious.
"Your Majesty is joking. The boat is so huge that no one can fit it in his belly. Even the tallest Confucius, who was nine feet tall, couldn't fit into the smallest boat."
Ying Chengyu had a serious face.
"Your Majesty, this is unethical, isn't it? Are you pretending to be confused?"
"Your Majesty's words of condoning human nature are too shocking, and Zen really can't handle it."
"In this case, I have no choice. If the princes and talents cannot be used by me, I can only kill them."
Gui Guzi looked at Ying Chengyu, who had no murderous intent in his eyes or on his body. He knew that Ying Chengyu was joking, but he didn't dare to bet.
Ying Chengyu's movement of reaching into his arms made Guiguzi's eyes twitch. No matter what he cultivated, being hit in the vital part by a pistol would mean death. All living beings are equal.
"The prince is too powerful and knows too much. If he goes out, there will be chaos and destruction of life. I would rather betray the prince than betray the people of the world."
[If I govern the Korean land, there will be no chaos? Linking killing me to saving sentient beings is such a shameless statement! ]
Guiguzi took a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, Han Diyu Chan is also fine."
Before Gui Guzi finished speaking, Ying Chengyu laughed loudly, hugged Gui Guzi, and said happily while patting him:
"I just said you can do it! You are a Guiguzi!"
Feeling severe pain in his back, Guiguzi immediately pushed Ying Chengyu away and stared at the black pistol in Ying Chengyu's hand.
The source of his back pain was Ying Chengyu hitting it hard with such an iron lump.
Ying Cheng smiled sheepishly, a little embarrassed, and put the gun in his arms naturally.
"I sensed life danger from the prince, and my body automatically took it out to defend itself."
The four moles on the old man's forehead were about to explode, and veins appeared on his forehead. He pointed at himself and said:
"Can Zen take your life? Your Majesty feels that your life is in danger from Zen? Zen is old and frail and has lived for hundreds of years. Even Xun Qing can't defeat you. Your Majesty said that I can take your life. Is this a human saying?"
Ying Chengqiao smiled and said:
"Then who knows? As the prince said, I didn't believe in witchcraft at first. There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. If the prince can live for hundreds of years, maybe he can master some magical powers?"
Hearing this, Qiang's body tensed up and he stared at Wang Chan.
Wang Chan still had an angry look on his face.
"In this world, whether it's witchcraft, Gu magic, or divine magic, there are traces of it all! Your martial arts are so superb, there are very few who can hurt you!"
The left index finger points to the sky.
"Even if the high heaven wants to kill you, it is impossible!"
Ying Chengqiao narrowed his eyes and chuckled:
"God? Is there really a God in this world?"
Wang Chan didn't seem to hear the strangeness in Ying Chengyu's words. He was so excited that he spoke high-spiritedly, making his moles tremble.
"If you believe it, there will be it! If you don't believe it, there will be nothing!"
