Chapter 1311 Games and principles
The scholars were frightened and wanted to scatter in a mess, but Zhang Yue said slowly.
The scholars were unable to advance or retreat.
"We have long admired Duke Jing and the Duke Jianguo, and have been honored to the wilderness. As local villagers, we are very honored."
"Beg for listening to the teachings!"
A scholar said boldly.
Zhang Yue and Wang Anshi smiled. When the scholars saw that the two were easy-going, they felt a little relieved.
Everyone returned to the shade of the tree and sat on the ground.
Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue asked: "What Jian Gong said just now is different from the way to understand things, why is it?"
Zhang Yue said: "It depends on the different ways of body and use."
Starting from Hu Yuan, scholars in the Song Dynasty pursued the way of enlightenment and enlightenment.
Zhang Yue smiled.
The existence of absolute truth is right, the phenomenon of natural science must correspond to absolute truth. For example, mathematics, mathematics will never lie.
For example, if one plus one is equal to two, there is no situation that is equal to three, this is the absolute truth.
However, there are doubts in the humanities. Even if there is absolute truth, it is still in a dynamic process in practice.
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Jing, if you want to know this, just play a game."
The scholars were stunned when they heard this.
Wang Anshi was also surprised.
Zhang Yue immediately said to the scholars here: "You select a number from zero to one hundred, and then I will find the average from your numbers and divide it by two. Who is the closest person to this number
Then you can win.”
The scholars were surprised.
However, it was still silent as Zhang Yue said, with a pen here but no paper here.
Fortunately, the leaves of the big tree covering everyone were very thick, so the scholars chose the leaves from the ground, and then borrowed the pen and wrote the numbers and their names on the leaves one by one.
Then I handed it over to Wang Anshi's followers one by one.
During this interval, Zhang Yue said to Wang Anshi: "Mr. Jing guesses what is the average difference between the two people?"
Wang Anshi pondered slightly and said, "I don't understand the science of arithmetics, but I think it should be at least below twenty-five. No, it is the twelve and fifth."
Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Mr. Jing Gong is not easy. The first thought of a person is fifty, but then he thought that unless everyone fills in one hundred, you are right."
"But you think it's twenty-five, you think everyone else has filled in fifty. In this way, you think about it one step further, and what others think is twelve and five."
"It's better for us to try it!"
Finally, everyone collected the leaves and divided them evenly, and the answer was thirty-three.
Wang Anshi was stunned and then laughed.
Zhang Yue almost covered his face. He could only say that the math of these scholars was too poor, and he didn't even understand half of the average.
Zhang Yue looked at the leaves page by page. It turns out that many scholars wrote fifty. This realm can be said to be very room for improvement.
I wrote twenty-five of them, which meant that everyone else was a fool, "smart person".
And the answer is thirty-three, it can only be said that there are many people between the two.
Zhang Yue said to Wang Anshi: "Mr. Jing, I have played this game in the curtain, and the answer is six."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "There are many smart people in Zhang Gong's curtain."
Zhang Yue said: "It's just a smart person who thinks that 'other people are stupid smart people'."
Wang Anshi asked: "What should I choose if I am all smart people?"
Zhang Yue said: "It should be filled in zero. Does Duke Jing understand?"
The game played by Zhang Yue and Wang Anshi is called the Average Game.
The lowest level candidate is fifty, the second is twenty-five, the second is twelve-five, and the second is … and the second is...converges until zero.
Another name for this game is "Keynes Beauty Pageant". The reason is that when you use beauty pageants, don't choose the one you think is the most beautiful, but the one you think is the most beautiful.
Wang Anshi is indeed a smart person. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what Zhang Yue means.
Wang Anshi said: "What Jian Gong said is that whether to manage politics and teach, should we first open up people's wisdom? In order to be consistent with political opinions!"
Zhang Yue said: "Duke Jing, establishing customs and reform laws has been implemented before the reform, but what I said is not only that."
Then Zhang Yue said to the scholars: "Everyone, please look for a leaf and write it again, and see how many times this time it will win?"
All the scholars went to do it as they said.
Zhang Yue said to Wang Anshi: "Mr. Jing, let's make another guess this time."
Wang Anshi said: "I won't guess anymore. Mr. Jian might as well say bluntly that I am not a three-foot child, and I don't need to use these little tricks to understand the truth."
Zhang Yue said: "I took the liberty."
"Why should I not seek the way to correct my heart and sincerity?"
“Because subjective and objective are different.”
"Because behind every way of investigating things, there is a unique principle, such as the principle of one plus one, which is two. But the way of correctness and sincerity, the target of your reform and governance is the people. As long as it is a human being, the hearts of people will change."
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
"Jing Gong, you fill in numbers on the leaves, and it's hard to guess how much other people will fill. You can't expect all the people to act according to your ideas."
Wang Anshi was silent.
Zhang Yue said: "Taking the Qingmiao Law as an example, the intention of Jing Gong is to provide low interest to replace private lending and alleviate the dilemma of the people's lack of support."
"This is what King Jing said. However, when you arrive at the local area, officials forcefully levy for political achievements. The people are unwilling to levy, and the officials forcefully act, and the people are in agitation in the end."
"The new party takes the 'three shortcomings' as the theory, while the old party takes the 'the law of ancestors is unchangeable' as the theory. Both sides set up a banner, making it impossible to compromise with each other and evolve into a party struggle."
Wang Anshi said nothing when he heard this.
In fact, he has been in Jiangning for many years and has thought that the Qingmiao Law was not an obstacle from the old party, but also a deviation in the implementation of his intentions by local officials. Wang Anshi has always said that the people cannot start with worrying about it, but can be successful.
The claim, but it is not this claim that it loses the opportunity to improve the disadvantages of the Qingmiao Law?
Is all this his stubbornness?
He is getting older and begins to doubt whether he is right in many positions.
Wang Anshi sighed slowly, closed his eyes slowly and said, "Do you, I should not discuss the right and wrong of Xining's affairs for me for a while. Are you here specifically to blame me today?"
"I know you have captured Liangzhou and won the victory in Pingxia City, so I'm going to point out that I'm not as good as you?"
Zhang Yue said frankly: "Mr. Jing Gong has misunderstood. Without Xining's reform, how could Yuanfeng achieve success?"
"Today, Zhang came here to thank you, Gong Jing, and to tell the Prime Minister that everything Zhang has done for five years is to preserve the efforts of Xining's reform."
Wang Anshi suddenly looked sharp and said, "You?"
Zhang Yue looked at Wang Anshi calmly.
Science and engineering tend to be single-phase feedback. For example, mathematics is generally exquisite. I prove that one plus one equals two, so it will not change.
But the humanities are bilateral feedback. Subjective influences the objectivity, and objective feedbacks to the subjective, causing the subjective to change again.
Under Wang Anshi's reform, taking the Qingmiao method as an example, there were serious deviations during the implementation process.
Wang Anshi did not solve or intervene, repairing the theoretical bad, but understood all problems as insufficient execution, that is, the opposition of the old party, suppressing it with a tough attitude, instead, this negative feedback has not been eliminated and has been accumulated in the backlog.
Then, keep zooming in.
It’s like predicting a stock market crash in a year, once everyone reaches a consensus.
Then this stock will never happen in a year, but will happen immediately. The people will sell it in panic and their hearts will play a role in fueling the fire.
Now the old and new parties have fallen into a state of self-provement trap. Everyone is trying their best to explain and refute it, and then they are constantly misinterpreted, leading to the extreme of each other's positions.
There will inevitably be no rational discussion on political differences in the future, only political struggles can be discussed.
This negative feedback will eventually accumulate to cause officials and the people to hate the new laws, which will inevitably lead to the Qingmiao Law and even the abolition of the new laws.
This is that if you don’t change actively, you can only change passively.
However, Zhang Yue's reason is difficult for Wang Anshi to accept, and even for Cheng Yi's Neo-Confucianism.
The physical and functional methods of Wang Anshi and Cheng Yi are all guided by theory.
Theories are not repaired through practice.
Cheng Yi's Neo-Confucianism believes that there is an absolute truth, for example, there are no husband and wife in the world, but there is already a husband and wife relationship in the theoretical system.
Since it is truth, it cannot be changed.
Wang Anshi said: "Reforms pay attention to the word "authority", such as Shang Yang's mobilization of wood and establishing trust, and Lu Buwei's one word "number of gold". If the imperial court's laws are easy, how can the people below follow it!"
Zhang Yue thought it was good, but Cheng Yi was different from Wang Anshi.
