Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

[After discovering that he had nothing to teach Prince Fusu, Xu Zi also decided to give Prince Fusu a final examination. 】

[I want to see how Prince Fusu understands "Peasant Thoughts".] 】

[And from the understanding of Prince Fusu's "Peasant Thoughts", to see what kind of future the peasant family may have in the hands of Prince Fusu in the future, or in Daqin. 】

[So Xu Zi found a sunny day, and officially started the examination for Prince Fusu. 】

[And in this examination school, in addition to their teachers and students, there is also an observer: Qin Wang Yingzheng. 】

[After all, in a sense, this is also the day when Prince Fusu learns the words of "The Farmer" and becomes a teacher. 】.

[King Yingzheng of Qin naturally wants to come and see, in the past six months, Prince Fusu has learned from the farmer Xu Zi and what he has gained. 】

["What did the farmer say?"]

[Xu Zizheng sat in front of Prince Fusu and asked in a deep voice. 】

[Prince Fusu also replied in a crisp voice: "First, the sage and the people plough and eat together, and they rule by feasting. "】

["Second, the city is not two, and there is no hypocrisy in the country. "】

["Third, obey the will of the people and be loyal to the people. "】

["Fourth, repair the famine and relieve the famine. "】

["Fifth, the end of agriculture and business. "】

[Hearing Prince Fusu's highly accurate and concise summary of the farmer's thoughts, a smile also appeared on Xu Zi's face. 】

[Then, Xu Zi asked with a look of expectation: "Then what you think the farmer said, but it is the right way to govern the country?]

[However, the crown prince Fusu shook his head and said, "No! At least not all!"]

[Xu Zi's face froze, then he restrained his smile, frowned and asked, "What is the farmer's saying that is not the right way to govern the country?]

[Prince Fusu didn't give Xu Zi any face to the teacher, and said directly: "The first point is that the sage and the people plough and eat together, and it is not the rule of food. "】

[Xu Zi's face sank when he heard this, and he faintly remembered something that was not very pleasant. 】

[Then Xu Zi said in a deep voice: "A wise monarch cultivates with the common people, supports himself, cooks his own food in the morning and evening, and then governs the country's political affairs, how is this not the right way to govern the country?]

[Hearing Xu Zi say this, Prince Fusu also said solemnly: "Then dare to ask Master Xu, people have limited time in a day, limited energy, and what they can handle is also limited. "】

["Then when the state affairs are busy and the matter of cultivation cannot be postponed, which is more important?"]

["If you choose to govern state affairs, then you will violate the agricultural time. "】

["If it violates the agricultural season, and requires the monarch to cultivate and be self-sufficient. "】

["Then the fate of this monarch is to cause a grain harvest failure because of violating the agricultural time, and finally starve to death!"

["If you give up the affairs of the state and choose to cultivate without going against the agricultural season. "】

["Then in the state affairs that are put aside, there may be thousands of ordinary people involved in sudden natural disasters or man-made disasters, and they urgently need the monarch to deal with and deal with them. "】

["However, in order not to violate the agricultural time and not to be starved to death, the king chose to farm, and in the end, these thousands of ordinary people will be killed and injured because the monarch did not handle state affairs in a timely manner. "】

["Please tell me, how should I choose between the two?"]

Xu Zi's brows furrowed even more, and after a long while, he replied: "The monarch can leave the busy state affairs to other capable ministers for the time being. "】

[In this way, the monarch will not delay the affairs of the state, and at the same time, he will not violate the agricultural time, and he will have enough time to cultivate and then be self-sufficient.] 】

["Could it be that in the eyes of Master Xu, only a virtuous monarch needs to cultivate and support himself with the common people, while other civil and military generals do not need to cultivate and support themselves with the common people?"

["Could it be that the peasant's 'sage and the people plough and eat together, and rule by feasting' is only aimed at the monarch of a country, and does not include other civil ministers and military generals?"]

[The prince Fu Su's little sword eyebrows raised. 】

[Xu Zi immediately shook his head and said: "Naturally not, the monarch needs to cultivate and support himself with the common people, and other civil and military generals naturally need to cultivate and support themselves with the common people." "】

[However, as soon as the words came out, Xu Zi secretly said in his heart that he had answered wrong, and he didn't need to look at him to know what Prince Fusu would say next. 】

[Sure enough, the crown prince Fusu's rhetorical question was even there: "If the civil and military generals also need to cultivate and support themselves with the common people, then the monarch will hand over state affairs to them to handle on their behalf. "】

["Won't this be contrary to their agricultural time, so that they will have a poor harvest in the coming year, and finally starve to death?"]

["Or is it said that the way of governing the country of the peasant family is to prefer to let the self-sufficient and self-reliant monarchs and ministers starve to death in the end, but also to properly handle the state affairs concerning the common people?"]

["If this is the case, doesn't Master Xu feel that this is too harsh and unfair to the monarchs and ministers who are willing to practice the way of peasant governance and be self-sufficient and self-reliant?"]

[Xu Zi immediately shook his head: "The way the farmer governs the country is naturally not like this. "】

["Dealing with state affairs and not violating agriculture is not indispensable!"]

[Hearing this, Prince Fusu also smiled and said: "Fish and bear's paws, can you really have both?]

["My father would hold a variety of court meetings and recitals for one or two hours every day, and would review all kinds of recitals weighing hundreds of pounds every night, and would not rest until late at night. "】

["And Master Xu is busy farming from morning to evening every day, and there is almost no leisure time. "】

["Under such circumstances, is it really possible to handle state affairs without violating farming?"]

["Even if you can do it for one day, you can do it for two days, can you still hold on to it?"

["If Master Xu really thinks that handling state affairs and not violating agriculture can be both, then my father is here, and I can ask my father to let Xu Shi do state affairs on his behalf for a few days. "】

["Master Xu can see if he still has the time and energy to go to the fields after dealing with these state affairs. "】

[In the end, Prince Fusu's eyes also flashed with eagerness. 】

[King Yingzheng of Qin on the side didn't expect the topic to come to him, but he also didn't like what the farmer said, "The sage and the people plough and eat together, and the food and the rule are governed". 】

[If Xu Zi really thinks that dealing with state affairs and not violating agriculture can be both, then he doesn't mind letting Xu Zi realize how heavy the state affairs of Great Qin are. 】

[Hearing the words of the crown prince Fusu, Xu Zi's face also stiffened. 】

[If Daqin's state affairs are really as busy as Prince Fusu said, and even King Yingzheng of Qin needs to review hundreds of catties of music every day. 】

[So no matter how unwilling he is to admit it, he has to admit that handling state affairs and not violating agriculture are incompatible. 】

[At least after he is busy with farming, he will not have the time and energy to deal with so many state affairs. 】

[Therefore, Xu Zi also immediately changed the topic and said: "The sage and the people plough and eat together, and the food and the rule are essentially against the monarch's unearned gains. "】

["As a monarch, you should realize that the people's food is not easy to come by, and you should not set up a warehouse to store the people's rice, let alone set up a treasury to accumulate the people's goods. "】

["This is an act of harming the people to provide for themselves, and this is not the work of a wise monarch!"]

[In the face of Xu Zi's transfer of topics, Prince Fusu also continued to follow up and argued: "The monarch's unearned gain will be discussed later. "】

["Let's talk about the point that Xu Shi mentioned later, 'There should be no warehouse to store rice, and there should be no treasury to accumulate goods'. "】

["If the monarch of the country does not set up a storehouse to store rice and a treasury to accumulate goods. "】

["Then dare to ask Master Xu, if there is a natural or man-made disaster such as famine, who will save him?"]

["If there are tens of thousands of people involved in the famine, or even hundreds of thousands, who can save them?"]

["Is it up to the people to save themselves and each other?"

["Can this really be saved?"]

[Xu Zi fell silent and did not answer. 】

[As a farmer, Xu Zi knows better than anyone how powerless ordinary people are in the face of natural and man-made disasters. 】

[That's why he opposed the monarch's unearned gains, and demanded that the monarch be self-reliant and self-sufficient, and not set up a warehouse treasury to store rice and accumulate goods.] 】

[To put it bluntly, I hope that the monarch can exploit the people less, so that the people can leave a little more savings, have more ability to resist unexpected risks such as natural and man-made disasters, and can survive better.] 】

[And the crown prince Fusu asked and replied to himself: "In the face of this kind of natural and man-made disasters, the people alone can't save themselves, and they can't save each other!"]

["Only by relying on the state, an incomparably powerful country, can it have the ability to help tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of people, so that they can survive such natural and man-made disasters. "】

["But the state does not have such ability out of thin air, and the food and clothing that help these people do not come out of thin air. "】

["It is the state in the harvest year, the surplus rice is stored in the warehouse, and more goods are accumulated in the treasury, so that in the face of major natural and man-made disasters, the country can have the ability to help the people. "】

["The treasury of the Cangli Mansion, if it is only used for the monarch, then it is indeed as Xu Shi said, it is to support the people and support themselves. "】

["However, if the treasury of the Cangli Mansion is ultimately used on the people, then how can it be said that it is the people who support themselves?"]

["In the final analysis, whether the treasury of Cangli Mansion is strong or loves the people, it still depends on whether it is used for public or private, for the monarch or the people. "】

["Master Xu, does what I say make sense?"]

[Xu Zi was silent for a long time before he nodded: "If the Cangqiao Mansion Treasury is used for the people in the end, then it is indeed done by loving the people. "】

["But how many cangli treasury can really be used on the people?"]

["If it is used on the monarch more than on the people, then the treasury of the cangli mansion will do more harm than good to the people!"]

[Crown Prince Fusu also nodded and said: "What Master Xu said is right, but this involves the issue of the sovereign's wisdom, and it has nothing to do with the Cangli Mansion itself. "】

["Just like a knife, it can both kill and save people, but whether it is to save people or kill people, this is the problem of the knife bearer, not the problem of the knife. "】

【"' ~ Just because the person with the knife kills someone with a knife, it is not possible to directly and rudely judge the existence of a knife as something that is not good for people. "】

["Rather, it should be set up by means of laws and other means to deter and restrain the possible harm that may occur to the person who wields the sword."] "】

["In the same way, in the face of the fact that the treasury of the cangli mansion may be used more for private purposes than for public use, we can also impose relevant restrictions and restrictions on the use of the treasury of the cangli treasury through laws and other means. "】

[After listening to the words of the crown prince Fusu, Xu Zi was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Then what do you think differently about the monarch's unearned gains?"]

[The implication is that I agree with Prince Fusu's refutation of the "Cangli Treasury". 】

[Prince Fusu, who was approved by Xu Zi, also smiled and continued: "Speaking of getting something for nothing, then it depends on Master Xu, how do you define the point of 'labor'?"

["Is it 'labor' that can only be regarded as 'labor' if you go down to the field to cultivate in person?"]

["Or can only you go to the textile in person to be regarded as 'labor'?"]

["Or is it only possible to count as 'labor' only if you do a hundred things in person?"]

["Or is it for the generals to be the commanders, fight on the battlefield, protect the family and defend the country, can it also be regarded as 'labor'?"

["Or is it like my father who approves hundreds of catties of music every day, and can also be regarded as 'labor'?"]

["If only the real farming, weaving, and work for a hundred jobs can be regarded as real 'labor', then the monarch is indeed unearned. "】

["However, behind the 'unearned gains', the monarch has handled thousands of state and government affairs closely related to the people of the world, so that the people of the world can farm, weave, and work for hundreds of things with peace of mind!]

["And such a monarch, can it really be said that he 'gets something for nothing'?"

[Xu Zi's face turned dark, and he said in an unhappy tone: "Are you going to tell me Mencius's 'hard work' and 'labor force'?"

[There is a debate between the peasant family and Mencius about the peasant family's opposition to the monarch's unearned gains. 】

[To be precise, it was his disciple Chen Xiang who conducted a debate with Mencius on his behalf.] 】

[At that time, Mencius said: "Then the world can be cultivated and cultivated, and it is harmonious"]

["There are things for adults, and things for villains."] "】

["And the body of one person, and the work of a hundred workers is prepared; if it must be used for its own sake, it is to lead the world and the road."] "】

["Therefore, it is said: or hard work, or labor. Those who work hard govern people, those who work hard govern people, those who govern others eat people, those who govern people eat people, and the general righteousness of the world is also. "】

[To put it bluntly, some people work hard, some people work, those who work hard govern people, those who work are governed by others, those who are governed by others provide for others, and those who govern people are supported by others!]

[This kind of remark that the rule of the laborer over the laborer is reasonable, and the monarch should be supported by the people as a matter of course, made Xu Zi feel extremely angry when he heard Chen Xiang's relay. 】

[This means that he was not personally present at that time, otherwise he would have to pick Mencius's clothes and rob Mencius's food, so that Mencius had no clothes and no food!

[So that Mencius can see whether the laborer will die without labor, or the laborer will die without labor!]

[This is also the reason why Xu Zi opposes the monarch's unearned gains, and asks the sages to plow and eat with the people, and rule by feasting.] 】

[It is because he thinks that the phenomenon of "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern others; those who govern others eat people, and those who govern others eat others" is not right!]

[At least the so-called laborers should not have such a taken for granted attitude when facing laborers like them!]

[They who work can also work, but those who work on high, they may work?]

[If not, then why should those who work hard have a high-minded and natural attitude!]

[Therefore, they set up a peasant family, and they asked the sage to plow and eat with the people, and to rule by eating, opposing the monarch's unearned gains, and demanding that the monarch should obey the people's wishes, be loyal to the people, cultivate hunger, and relieve famines, and take the people as the foundation of agriculture!]

[They want the world to hear the voice of the people of Qianshou!].
