Chapter 147 Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it
"Shouren!" Hearing his old friend ask Huang Tinghui, Chen Sizhi had a black line on his head.
As expected, I am afraid that my old friend's temper cannot be changed.
However, he couldn't stop Wang Shouren, so he could only raise the wine glass in his hand and take a sip.
"Tinghui doesn't understand the affairs of governing the country!"
"But according to Tinghui, what I said makes perfect sense!"
"If the saints stay, everyone has their own opinions!"
"Just like what I said, some people think that governing a big country should be as difficult as cooking, and should be as meticulous as cooking. Both must control the heat and pay attention to the seasonings."
"Some people think that governing a big country is like cooking small fish. The ingredients must be just right, neither too much nor too little."
"Some people say that governing a big country should be like cooking a small fish. When cooking a small fish, don't stir it too much. If you stir it too much, it will rot easily. But to govern a big country, you should do nothing."
After the words fell, Wang Mingyang showed a curious look. He asked Huang Tinghui: "According to Huang Xiaolang, how should the country be governed?"
"people oriented!"
"Putting people first!!" Huang Tinghui blurted out as he cupped his hands to Wang Mingyang.
"What politicians should pay attention to is the people, the common people!"
"As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The king is a boat, and the common people are water. Water can carry the boat, and water can capsize it."
"The people who support the country are the people, the general public. If the people are gone, even if they own land, it will only be other people's land."
Huang Tinghui still has some understanding of Wang Mingyang's thoughts. He knows that Wang Mingyang is not a blindly loyal person.
Wang Mingyang is the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice his life for the benefit of the world.
That's why Huang Tinghui answered so frankly.
Sure enough, after hearing Huang Tinghui's answer, people like Wang Mingyang were stunned.
When I first asked Huang Tinghui, Wang Mingyang was just casual and casual.
He did not expect any answer from Huang Tinghui.
I don’t think Huang Tinghui, at his age and still spending time reading and writing articles, would have much insight into the matter of “governing the country”.
But after hearing Huang Tinghui's answer, Wang Mingyang, who had always been calm and disdainful of eight-part essays, was shocked.
He stared at Huang Tinghui dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"people oriented!"
“Putting people first!”
Wang Mingyang chewed the words Huang Tinghui said carefully, his wise eyes flashed with different emotions.
After a long time, Wang Mingyang sighed.
"What a 'people-oriented' person. Shouren never expected that such a profound truth would come from the words of Mr. Xiaolang!"
"The world is composed of all peoples. Without all peoples, we would not regard all peoples as our foundation!"
"No matter how powerful a dynasty is, it will just be wiped out in ashes!"
"You are right about your boat and your people's water!"
"You're right!" Wang Mingyang said excitedly to Huang Tinghui.
"It's just that when politicians have been in power for a long time, they can still understand what the people's heart and public opinion are at the beginning!"
"Get away from the foundation, get away from the foundation, and everything changes!"
"Tinghui remembered that there was a poet in the Li Dynasty. Before entering his official career, he wrote the poem "Compassion for the Farmers"."
"When this person entered the official career and prospered, he lost the compassion for the peasants in the poem. He gradually transformed into a corrupt official who lived in debauchery and used excessive power."
"After this person became famous, one meal often cost hundreds or even thousands of guan."
"The people under this man's rule were in panic all day long and fled across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers one after another."
"A subordinate reported to him that many local people had fled. But the man said: Have you ever seen wheat held in hands? The plump grains are always at the bottom, and the chaff goes away with the wind and there is no need to report back."
After Huang Tinghui thought for a moment, he said to Wang Mingyang.
"It's precisely because it's divorced from the people and the people-oriented principle!"
"The country is difficult to govern!"
"And the joke about why not minced meat was born!"
"Tinghui is a farmer, and he has heard of people in high positions talking about solving the income problem of the poor."
"They once said that they could let the poor use their own horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts to do work, and then rent out some of their unused houses to make crazy money."
"If the superiors are separated from the people to such an extent."
"It's a huge hidden danger and worry!"
After saying that, Huang Tinghui bowed his hand to Wang Mingyang again.
At this time, Wang Mingyang, as the leader of the party, kept nodding his head.
He has never considered the problem from this aspect or this perspective.
I originally thought that Huang Tinghui was just a smart scholar, but I didn't expect that Huang Tinghui's perspective on thinking about problems was so profound.
How could Wang Mingyang not be moved at this moment?
Wang Mingyang stood up suddenly. He cupped his hands and said to Huang Tinghui: "There is a hierarchy of learning, and the one who masters it is the master!"
"Shouren, you have learned a lesson!"
No one expected that the famous Wang Mingyang, who would become a big boss in the future, would take the initiative to bow to Huang Tinghui.
Even Chen Sizhi, the county magistrate sitting next to Wang Mingyang, didn't even think of it.
He knew Wang Mingyang's temper well. Since ancient times, talented people have been somewhat arrogant.
Although Wang Mingyang's nature is more free and easy.
But he has never been so polite to others.
This also made the county master Chen Sizhi re-examine the young man in front of him.
Such a talented young man is really rare to see in a hundred years!
If he really passes the imperial examination and has help from noble people.
Your career is absolutely limitless!
In addition to being shocked, the county master Chen Sizhi felt a little more enthusiastic about the young man in front of him.
Of course, inner changes are changes.
After all, Chen Sizhi was a court official with a Jinshi background, and all he thought about at this time was his appreciation and optimism for Huang Tinghui.
I also plan to take care of this young man who is "destined" with me if I have the opportunity in the future.
"Lord Prefect!"
"You are really embarrassing Tinghui. Tinghui is just a scholar and a farmer!"
It was impossible for Huang Tinghui not to be shocked by the salute from the prefect and the salute from a boss-level figure.
Huang Tinghui stood up and saluted the prefect.
"No problem!"
"Don't be rigid, there are no prefects, no county magistrates, and no common people here!"
"There are only three scholars who are worried about the world!"
"Shouren's words of admiration for Huang Xiaolangjun should be an expression of Shouren's inner thoughts!"
"people oriented!"
"There are so many smart people in the world, and they are so popular!"
"How many people can see through this?"
"If there is no people-oriented belief, it is nothing more than water that can carry a boat or capsize it!"
Wang Mingyang did not hide his inner thoughts at all. He stared at the young man in front of him again.
He asked again: "Huang Xiaolangjun, what do you think can be done to solve this problem?"
"How can the superiors see the suffering of the people and govern the country well?"
Each and every one of Wang Mingyang's questions is beyond the level of a scholar who has not yet taken the Tongsheng Examination.
Faced with Wang Mingyang's inquiry, Huang Tinghui smiled bitterly, but he quickly gave his answer.
