Chapter 709 Sage Confucianism (Part 2)

The second article is called "The Holy King". ←,

It is not the later online saint king, but the saints and kings who discuss the inner and outer kings.

What is a saint? There are several important things in Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, forgiveness, rituals and music... and this saint wisdom.

A saint is not a land, but in ancient times he was a saint. Only by following the ears and following the present, with a clever ear and agile mouth, and understanding the principles of affairs, were he called a saint.

Therefore, the Master said that self-restraint and regaining rituals is benevolence. One day, one day, the world will return to the world, benevolence is based on oneself, and it is up to others? If you want to be smart and wise, you must first cultivate yourself. Therefore, you must cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and pacify the world, and cultivate yourself first. This is the inner saint.

But this inner saint is only placed on an individual. If it is placed on a country, it will govern the inner benevolence, the people are prosperous, and the country is strong and stable. This is the inner saint of a country.

Once you are a saint, you can manage your family and govern the country.

If the country is saint, you can pacify the world.

Sima Guang had said similar things before, but unlike Sima Guang's viewpoint, Zhang Zai clearly wrote an important issue in this article: If an individual is not a saint, then he cannot manage his family and govern the country?

How many people can reach this inner saint?

Therefore, the inner sage and the outer king accurately state that the inner sage is the main focus, and the outer king is the "inner sage" and the other side, but they are carried out at the same time.

The inner sage is the main, and the outer king is the auxiliary. The inner sage is the main force, govern the country, stabilize the country, enrich the people, protect the country, expand the territory, and promote the surrounding sluts and dare not invade the Central Plains. This is the true inner sage and external king.

On the surface, this is Zhang Zai's argument about the military division of the Song Dynasty. He does not seek to expand territory, but at least he wants to defend his country. However, now he has been bullied by a small Western Xia repeatedly, and he is not even considered an inner saint. Where does the inner saint come from?

In fact, this is also Zhang Zai’s support for his disciples.

What did Wang Ju do in the south? It can be said that he loved the people of the Song Dynasty. As for Jiaozhi, it was "ping". What is Ping? In this word Ping, it itself means to conquer and kill. Therefore, Wang Ju's approach has become closer to the inner sage and outer king to some extent.

So when Wang Ju was reading this Holy King, Zhang Zai said: "Jiu. I am proud of you."

Not to mention the sensational books of the world in Qingzhou, is it bad for Wang Ju in Quanzhou? Even in Guangnan, Wang Ju did not do bad for it, including the barbarians, otherwise the hymn of the barbarians that came?

Of course, having this idea is also the progress of Zhang Zai's thoughts, the people, my compatriots, the people, my brothers!

His people are not the people in the hearts of many scholars and officials, but the real people, all the people of the Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this idea that Zhang Zai was not opposed to his disciples' practice of fighting against local tyrants and dividing land. Moreover, he had wanted to implement the well-field system before.

"Mr., it seems you heard some rumors too?"

"Yes. In terms of situation, it is far from the time of Renzong." Zhang Zai sighed. This is an era that is turning black and white. It is really difficult to do things gentlely.

Including his disciple, he made great contributions to the Song Dynasty and returned. Before he arrived in the capital, all kinds of rumors began.

The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, but the rabbit is not dead yet.

Xixia and Liao Kingdom, each mountain is higher than the other!

"Mr. Don't worry. I have a solution."

Zhang Zai smiled, too, in this officialdom, people like him cannot survive, but his disciple is not at ease.

"Mr., I want to ask my mentor to write another article."

"oh."

"My opinion is that the full moon will lose, and the water will overflow. The same is true for a country. Generally, when the country is first established, the king will punish the demise in the early stage, so the king and his ministers will be careful in governing the country. And because of the change of states, wars will continue, the people will wither, the land will be vast and sparse, and there will be no pain of annexation. Therefore, when a unified country is founded, a country will be the most prosperous and peaceful. However, after a long time of establishment, many problems arise. The king and his ministers are content to enjoy themselves, forget the demise in the early stage, the king is in chaos, and the powerful are greedy for annexation. And because the country is stable for a long time, the population is dense, and the land is tight, the annexation has intensified. In the past, when he was in Zheng Baiqu, his disciples told his mentor that Wang Mang's reform was ridiculed by history. In fact, because of the dense population, Wang Mang's reform had to change. But he became too anxious, and his reputation was not upright, so the wars rose and perished quickly."

"Giant, you mean..."

"I mean the number of Dayan, one that escaped."

The number of Dayan also comes from the Book of Changes: The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty and nine. It is divided into two to two images, one to three images, and is hanged with four images to symbolize four seasons, and returns to the strangeness to the siege to symbolize and leap. When the five years old, it is leap again, so it is hanged again. Heaven and earth are one and two, heaven and earth are three and earth are four, heaven and five earth are six, heaven and seven earth are eight, heaven and nine earth are ten, heaven and earth are five, heaven and earth are five, five digits are connected and each has a combination. The number of heaven is twenty-five, the number of earth is thirty, and the number of heaven and earth is fifty and five. This is why it changes and ghosts and gods are carried out.

One to nine are useful, and thus evolved into the line of six to nine.

But there is another useless, so Kong Yingda said that Yi had Tai Chi, and it first gave birth to two dependents, two qualities gave birth to four images, and four images gave birth to eight trigrams. Tai Chi means that before the heaven and earth are divided, the vital energy is mixed into one, that is, Taichu, Taiyi. Therefore, two statements emerged. Taiji means that before the heaven and earth are divided, it will not have any impact on all things now. Therefore, the number of Dayan is used forty and nine out of 40, and Taiyi is not used.

There is another point of view, forty-nine uses, which means that the data that maintains the balance of all things is fifty, and only forty-nine can work, so that all things can grow and change. As for the "one" no longer visible, it seems to have escaped, which is called escaped. But it is the foundation of the reform of all things. Although it cannot be seen, it must be taken seriously.

In fact, this is a thing that is fooling around. It is not easy to fool Zhang Zai, so Zhang Zai has never studied it.

He asked hesitantly: "Gianzi, what do you want to say?"

"Mr., the cause of the Anshi Rebellion is very complicated. On the surface, it is because the Tang Dynasty's military distribution is inappropriate, and it gives military generals, especially Hu generals too much power. The king is in chaos and treacherous ministers are in power. In fact, when the Tang Dynasty developed to its peak, many crises have occurred secretly. Even without the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty will soon be in chaos. In fact, looking at the previous dynasties, this is the theory. There is a saying that the limit of 50 million people. That is, since ancient times, China has not had too many crises before the population has grown to 50 million. However, as long as it reaches 50 million people, the crisis will come. Then any major change will occur and the country will perish. This means that the full moon will lose, and the water will overflow."

Zhang Zai pondered.

"In fact, the reform and reduction of mergers and acquisitions are all measures to treat the symptoms. It only delays the arrival of this demise. Just like our dynasty, even if the Hu people do not invade in the future and continue to develop, it will reach 30 million households in a hundred years."

This is not false statement.

Before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were already 22 million households. It was only forty years before now.

Besides, Wang Ju developed Jiaozhi and Dali. If it continues to develop as it is now, it will take less than a hundred years, or even seventy or eighty years, to reach 30 million households.

When the yield per mu is only about 200 kilograms, once it reaches 30 million households, even if there is pressure to disperse the population of Jiaozhi, various crises will arise.

"Mr., let me say, the way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency, and the way of man reduces the deficiency and makes up for the excess. Greed is the fundamental source of human nature. Although then again, greed is the most important source of motivation. Once the land reaches 30 million households, the land is more precious, and the way of people who reduces the deficiency and make up for the excess is not. How can annexation not become more serious?"

"Well..." Zhang Zai's face became serious.

"But the way of heaven finally gives people a little vitality. Just like my dynasty, why do I say 30 million households? Because in my dynasty, the limit is not 50 million people or 10 million households. This limit is 30 million households, nearly 200 million people. The reason is very simple. Compared with the previous dynasties, our dynasty should pay more attention to internal governance, regardless of whether it is true or false. The Qi people are still the family law of the ancestors, people's livelihood or the foundation of the ministers. It is this Qi people who narrowed the annexation and exploitation, and it is this who attaches importance to people's livelihood. Each prefecture and county moved mountains and reclaimed seas, terraces were formed on the mountains, ditches were built on the lake, and sea dams were raised by the sea, and the number of cultivated land was increased. It is this who attaches importance to people's livelihood that His Majesty Zhenzong personally issued an edict to promote the city-occupying rice and increase grain production. Therefore, compared with previous dynasties, our dynasty could feed more people."

This is indeed a region where the Northern Song Dynasty progressed.

If the Northern Song Dynasty was really useless, Wang Ju would have had another idea long ago.

"But with the increase of population, this crisis is becoming more and more prosperous. Is it destined to perish? Not necessarily! If you want to perish, first, you must prevent the northern nomads from moving south. Compared with previous dynasties, our dynasty has lost the Yanyun area, which is equivalent to the portal opening directly to the northern nomads, and Tokyo City is located in a place without any danger. As long as a powerful regime appears in the north and our dynasty is dominated by the atmosphere of emphasizing literature and derogating military power, then our dynasty will perish. This is the first wave of crisis. Even if our dynasty can destroy Xixia, its troops can be concentrated in the north, and even if it can seize the Yanyun area. What comes next is a population crisis. But the way of heaven still gives humanity a little vitality, that is technology, what is technology, which is technology, which increases agricultural output, industry and commerce, and generates more wealth. Change direction... This is the one that escapes."

What is changing direction? It is overseas.

In another time and space, China has never won what Wang Ju said.

However, the Europeans have won it.

Although the West suppressed and excluded China in later generations, Wang Ju had to admit the greatness of Europe from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

The motto of Cambridge University is: Dare to challenge authority!

The Industrial Revolution and overseas colonization made the whites powerful.

But it is still time for Europe to be in a dark moment now...

However, what Wang Ju said was not only applicable to the current Song Dynasty, but even if he traveled through time and space before, this one also had a role.

Just like in his previous life, the United States was powerful, and its strength was equivalent to using global resources to support their 400 million population. However, looking at the strength of the United States, China did not want to be strong and was willing to be a third-class country? Not to mention China, it was India, but it also wanted to dream of a strong country.

But if the people of these two countries also enjoy the resources of the US imperialists, it would be a disaster for the earth.

Therefore, the pessimistic statement will eventually usher in the zero-sum game and eventually usher in the era of nuclear explosion.

However, Wang Ju’s idea today was not the case. There is still a way out, and there is still one.

First, further technological progress, especially pollution-free and light pollution energy technology.

The second is outside the starry sky.

In that era of technological explosion, even if it is transformed by Mars, it is not a dream, it is just about sooner or later. Therefore, if humans want to avoid the tragic nuclear explosion, the focus will be developed. However, there is one primary premise, that is, the US emperor is willing to give up the throne of the boss. If it is not willing, the nuclear explosion will inevitably happen. Then the remaining humans will inevitably enter a severe era of civilization regression, and it will even take thousands or tens of thousands of years to recover. Or just like the dynasty in Chinese history, the full moon will be deficient again and again, and the water will overflow...

At this point, Wang Ju's idea has been fulfilled.

However, what he said in the book was not what he was good at, and when he said it from his mouth, many scholars and officials not only did not believe it, but would instead reject it.

This time, Wang Ju visited his mentor on the way, and also expressed his idea, allowing Zhang Zai to write an article and spread it to a hundred generations.

"This one..."

"My teacher, just from Luzon Island, the area behind is more than ten times that of our dynasty now. Half of the areas are suitable for human habitation. Our dynasty can accommodate 30 million households. Such a large area can accommodate 300 million households. How long will our dynasty establish a country? Prosperity, the people suffer, the people suffer, and the people suffer. Once the dynasty changes, how many people will die?"

“But it’s very difficult.”

"It's very difficult, but someone always needs to point it out. But the teacher, Confucianism, is mainly benevolence, and a gentleman is gentle and gentle as jade."

Zhang Zai couldn't help but feel happy.

As people are like this, Zhang Zai's articles are very kind, but these two articles may be a concealment for Wang Ju, and they are a bit spicy.

Wang Ju's words were to advise Zhang Zai not to use this. If you want to gain more recognition from others, in an era when Confucianism has the upper hand, the article must continue to be kind, so that it can be recognized by more people and be passed down for generations.

That is, Wang Juxiang Zhang Zai replaced Zhu Xi and became a saint scholar.

So Wang Ju stayed in Hengqu again, first, cooperated with Zhang Zai to rewrite the first two articles, and second, cooperated with Zhang Zai to write the third article "One".

One of this is not Tai Chi, but the only life that will prevent the peak from dying...

For this article, Wang Ju delayed in Hengqu for ten days.

But these ten days were not only for "One", but Wang Ju also arranged something.

Before entering Beijing, Wang Ju will make a fierce counterattack! (To be continued.)
