Zhao Chen looked at this scene dumbfounded.

How could he not notice Zhao Gao's little move just now?

I just didn't care.

But it’s a bit inappropriate for dad to be like this. Aren’t you the domineering and cold Emperor Qin?

What are you doing? Pay attention to your image!

However, Zhao Chen felt quite happy.

If the future emperor of the ages can do this, he can be regarded as the first person in the ages.

I digress. continue

"Having finished talking about Confucianism, next is Legalism. What is the purpose of Legalism?

End war with war! Only by annihilating all countries can we have a chance to establish a truly peaceful country. Otherwise,"peace" is just a dream. Although the Mohists were anti-war, they also held the view that"cut off the fingers to save the whole body"","To bring benefit to the world and eliminate harm to the world."

The Mo family's world includes all the countries and the entire Kyushu. If they want to bring prosperity to the world, they must remove the obstacles that hinder the prosperity of the world. This is also why Qin Mo supports and helps the Qin Dynasty. The reason for developing high-tech weapons is also the fundamental reason why I want Gongshujia and the Mohist family to surrender.

I must have experienced the convenience brought by Gongshujia's manufacturing of weapons!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded. This is true. In just a few months, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army has increased exponentially compared to before.

"From the rise of the princes in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes competed for hegemony. All major countries were in an environment of internal and external troubles, so what they longed for was the way to survive and the way to become a powerful country.

This is why Confucianism was ignored at all during the Warring States Period, because Confucianism could not solve problems, but instead caused them.

This is also the fundamental reason why Confucius and Sheng traveled around the world and failed to convince any country.

Legalism is different. Legalism's"farming and war" is based on the needs of the time, with the primary purpose of strengthening the country, and both"farming" and"war" are the best ways to inspire all citizens."Farming" means more work, more rewards, people benefit, and the country benefits

""War" was the way to make the people rich and prosperous, and the country's military power was also strong.

At that time, Da Qin was the weakest country among the seven war states, and was surrounded by enemies on all sides. It had to accumulate national power quickly, so it needed to have strong execution ability and issue orders. Confucianism and Confucianism Legalist thought is contradictory. At this moment, unfavorable thoughts that hinder reform must be eliminated, so Shang Yang emphasized that it is forbidden to read"Poems" and"Books".

These are actually some administrative methods and etiquette during the Zhou Dynasty. Le Norm, in other words, is an ancient book record of governance. It was not applicable to the Warring States Period at that time, so this kind of book is harmful and unhelpful.

This is the"emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business". Dad, what do you think is the essence of businessmen? What is it?"

"Profit, profit, they are only interested in profit, and they pay special attention to material interests. As long as the benefits are sufficient, they can even trample on morality and law"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Zhao Chen nodded in agreement.

He is indeed an emperor of all ages and has a unique vision.

"The reason why our Great Qin's reform was successful was that it was secretive. At that time, Great Qin blocked all external information and completely broke away from the struggle with the Six Kingdoms.

Secretly reform, otherwise, other countries will be indifferent to the disaster and wait for the success of your reform?

I'm afraid they would have strangled it by any means possible.

It was because of Han's attack on Qi that Wei was alerted.

As a result, the reform in South Korea was not complete.

Therefore, in order to prevent the leakage of news, Shang Yang prohibited the people of Qin from doing business, while merchants from other countries were only allowed to trade with Qin officials within the prescribed scope. In other words, the state would come forward to trade with the merchants of the six countries, and then the state would let the officials Selling to citizens, isolating communication between businessmen, and leaking information.

After the success of the reform, Great Qin established its capital in Xianyang, which immediately attracted a large number of merchants from the six countries to settle in. Xianyang also became a commercial metropolis on the same level as Linzi of Qi State and Anyi of Wei State.

The fact that a big businessman like Lu Buwei chose Da Qin shows that Da Qin does not despise businessmen, but only controls businessmen to prevent leakage of state secrets.

Confucians simply cannot see through the mystery and only look at the superficial reasons.

Shang Yang's reform was very strategic, and he thought very clearly about which step to take first.

If you make one wrong step, the reform will fail."

"Yes, Shang Jun is indeed a strange man of his generation."

"Another difference between Legalism and Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism is the win-win situation.

Confucianism looks at issues from the perspective of the ruler. Confucianism believes that as long as the king does well, the people will naturally benefit.

This is an idea that does not look at the issue from the perspective of the people's interests, so it is not feasible.

Mohism is based on the interests of the common people at the bottom. A whole set of Mohist theories emphasizes how common people can obtain human rights and interests.

But he extremely suppressed the interests of the nobles and kings. You must know that kings and nobles were the core of power at that time, and they controlled the lifeblood of the country.

How could they come to support it if their interests were completely disregarded?

Taoism governs a country based on the ideas of a small country with few people. It emphasizes that everyone should be less greedy, and naturally the society will be stable.

Everyone should do their own thing and don't force others to do things they don't want to do, and naturally there will be no conflicts.

But in fact, the strong will inevitably dominate the weak, and interests will definitely conflict.

It is meaningless to simply emphasize that people should be pure in heart and have few desires.

What Legalists think of is"win-win"! The steady development of a society cannot be achieved by one party beating the other.

To give a simple example, if a law completely takes care of the interests of the people at the bottom and ignores the bosses, then these bosses cannot get benefits, so why should they spend their energy to rule the people?

It is better to just start a small business individually. If this happens, business will stagnate, people will not be able to sell their things, and they will not be able to buy what they want. Even businessmen will not need workers to work for them, so many people will lose their job security. In this way, When a country loses its vitality, such a country is not far from destruction.

Therefore, a system must be a win-win situation for both parties and cannot only consider one side.

How can we achieve a"win-win" situation?

What are the interests of the monarch?

To put it bluntly, the country is strong and cannot be invaded by foreign enemies, and its officials and people do not cause trouble.

What about the interests of the nobility?

The king does not kill people for no reason, and he can obtain more benefits created by the people in return.

And what about the interests of the people?

It means having enough food and clothing, no longer being displaced due to war, and having a better living space.

How can the monarch, ministers, and people reach a consensus? That is to formulate a"system" that meets the interests of many parties.

Therefore, the governing principles of Legalism: change with the times, and if the country is not governed in the same way, the country will follow the ancient laws!"

"If the times change and the country is not governed in the same way, the country will not follow the ancient laws!"

Ying Zheng murmured again.

"Chen'er, why haven't you heard of this sentence? Does Legalism have such a principle? Why don’t I know this? Could it be that I made it up?"

"Forehead……………"

There's none?

There should be!!

Forget it, even if he doesn't, he will have it after today.
