Chapter 537
"Make Confucianism great again." Yunyao now transformed into a young man and walked in the Jixia Academy. He said this whenever he saw someone, as if he was a code, his behavior was strange and his words were strange, and he was soon noticed.
Xunzi, Li Si, and Han Feizi also heard about it very soon, so they asked someone to invite Yun Yao over.
"Make Confucianism great again." Yun Yao saw the teachers and students in the hall saying that his goal was the same as Xunzi. Confucius' disciples were indeed not good at it. They wanted Confucianism great again.
"Why do you say 'Make Confucianism great again' when you meet people? What's the deep meaning?" Xunzi is already an old man. According to his age, he will soon go to Chu State and eventually die in Chu State.
"Since Zixia and other disciples are all inferior Confucianism, then Confucianism is naturally not good in their hands. Therefore, as Confucian scholars in the new era, we must make Confucianism great again. What is it again? I think the Confucius era was a great time. After all, Confucianism was carried forward in the Confucius era." Yun Yao said seriously.
Xunzi knew that this person was strange. Most of the time, he came for him, otherwise the other party would not have to be so independent. After all, in order to gain the upper hand, these young people can use all kinds of methods. In Xunzi's opinion, Yunyao has a problem with all young people, that is, they like to take advantage of the popularity. Once they succeed, they will succeed and become famous, and they can be said to be invincible.
"Which country is you from? What's your name?" Xunzi was very calm. Because Yunyao's conversation was very decent and he looked good, he could ask patiently.
"I am just an unknown young man, but I have the heart of a Confucian scholar. I heard from the Master's great opinions that he came to make Confucianism great again." Yunyao did not dare to say that no one understands Confucianism better than herself. After all, she is still modest.
"Are you here to become a disciple?" Xunzi said that he would become a disciple if he became a disciple. He had many disciples, so he didn't mind that he had one more.
"First discuss the Tao and then become a disciple."
A very big tone, everyone felt that this person was too arrogant after hearing this. A student stood up and said, "If you want to discuss the Tao, why do you need a Master? I can argue you with nothing to say." "The Master said: People's nature is false, and they want to hate the same thing, and they want to have too many things. Today, all countries are proving this Tao, so what do you think?" It started directly.
Human nature is evil, and all good is cultivated by man. The reason is that desires and evils are the same thing, and desires are more and less.
"The Master said: Don't worry about few things but worry about inequality. It's right to have too many desires but few things, but this cannot become an argument that human nature is inherently evil. Inequality is the key to the chaos in the world." Yun Yao said.
"It's ridiculous. Everyone likes beauties, but how few beauties are, how average? Everyone likes luxurious palaces, how few are, how average? Everyone likes snobs, but how little is, how average?" This student said that Confucius' words were outdated and it was impossible to shake the foundation of human nature's evil nature.
Therefore, it is true that there are too many things to be desired. Even if everyone has endless food and livestock, beauties, palaces, and authority are still scarce things, which triggers conflicts.
So don’t laugh at everyone for plastic surgery, because artificial beauties created in bulk can indeed alleviate the scarcity of resources. What we need to criticize is the same aesthetics of plastic surgeons and lack the ability to create beauty. It is really a serious crime to make artificial beauties plastic surgery into the same shape.
It can even be said that even if Taoyuan Township is realized, when everyone can count money, scarce resources will still cause struggles. This is human nature. People always want to pursue the special nature of being selfless, and prove their excellence by competing for the powerful and rare resources.
So Lao Tzu said, "Everyone knows that beauty is beauty, which is evil." Because rare resources are always difficult to distribute evenly to everyone. Even if the material is extremely rich, there are always one or two rare resources that will cause evil in human nature.
So the student looked at Yunyao proudly. No one could answer this question, and could only be solved by "clearly splitting and grouping", that is, to clarify his identity and not fight for what you shouldn't want.
But if everyone really doesn't think about it, the world will not make progress.
So Yunyao said: "If there are few beauties, then invent more rouge powder to cover up the defects. If there are few palaces, then find ways to invent new materials and replace century-old wood. If there are few authority, then the whole people will make the decision." In addition to rouge powder, there is also plastic surgery. With steel and cement, palaces can be built even without wood. In the end, if the whole people participate, there will be no fear of being weak and uneven.
"It's a nonsense." The student was very excited and said that Yun Yao was a fallacy.
However, Li Si and Han Feizi have just studied a lot of fake books, so they know that Yun Yao’s content has been recorded in fake books, which is the fallacy of developing institutions and improving materials in "The Story of Confucius".
In fact, it is just to find ways to make rare resources so that everyone can have them.
Xunzi also said in a deep voice: "If you discuss the Tao, you must have a foundation, not a fantasy. If you speak empty words and white teeth, you will make the beauty, palace, and authority more. Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable."
At this time, Han Fei also walked out and said, "The father will give birth to a son, and the son will give birth to a son. A couple will soon become a family of ten. There are more than ten thousand households under the country, and will soon become a country of one hundred thousand households. The population is increasing, but the land will not increase. Even if you can increase the number of beauties, palaces, and authority, there is not so much land for you to build palaces, raise beauties, and give authority."
Han Fei opposed Yunyao's theory that products can continue to increase, after all, land will not increase. Obviously, he did not know how to reclaim land.
"When the beauty, palace, and authority have increased, there will naturally be ways to resolve the conflict between population and land." This is true, but it will definitely take a long time to wait. After all, there is a limit for people to be born again. When the limit of population growth and the number of resources reach a balance, the contradiction will basically be resolved. And there are other ways, Yun Yao continued: "And it is possible to plan for family planning, and give birth when you should be born, and don't give birth when you should not."
"It's ridiculous. Who should have children in the world and who shouldn't? Are you going to decide?" Han Fei believed that even the emperor did not have the power.
Yun Yao thought it would be interesting to debate with Master Xunzi and his apprentice. They were thinking about practical issues, unlike Confucius and Mencius who were always etiquette and moral, and after talking for a long time, they could not talk about the idea and could not find the main contradiction.
Xunzi, Li Si, Han Fei and others saw the essence, that is, the contradiction between population and land, and the contradiction between population and resources, which can be said to be a thousand years ahead.
Of course, although they saw contradictions, due to the limitations of productivity, they also had historical limitations, so it is the most important thing to see that the development of productivity is not the most important. They accepted the prerequisite of wanting to be too many, and all the solutions formulated are redistributed based on this premise.
Xunzi proposed the two ideas of "clearly divide the group and "cultivate oneself and govern the country". Rely on etiquette to cultivate a gentleman, and rely on gentlemen to promulgate etiquette so that everyone can clearly understand their identity.
Li Si and Han Fei were straightforward, not etiquette, and etiquette still needs to be promulgated by gentlemen, but where can a gentleman find it? It can't be found. So using the method directly is simple, and it can be formulated even if it is not a gentleman.
Han Fei said that there are many wise men in the world now, so it is impossible to expect a savior. Han Feizi is more pessimistic than Xunzi. Xunzi also believes that there will be a gentleman to save this world full of human evil, and Han Fei directly does not expect a gentleman. In his eyes, only the weapon of power is the power that can truly bring order.
