The ladies nodded, and the master understood what he said very clearly.

This is the fundamental reason why China continues to make chaos and governance.

The little girl said with emotion: "The master has said so much, but it is actually a Confucian problem. Are the rent-seeking landlords in the Ming Dynasty today all scholars? They read the books of sages and do dirty things. They all say that it is easy to break the thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart. Money is the thief in their hearts."

Yang Fan said: "After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, China was a period of rising in the first thousand years. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties held the imperial examinations, especially the Song Dynasty and our Ming Dynasty, which unprecedentedly expanded the scale of imperial examinations and scholars, China has entered a period of decline for a thousand years."

"I originally hoped that the moral level of Confucian disciples, such as these, would be higher. After all, after reading the books of sages, they value self-cultivation. However, in the past thousand years since they were in power, they have done very badly, and these problems have arisen."

"They have all been poor, but once they find power, they become extremely greedy. The greater the hope for them, the greater the disappointment they are now."

Xiao Niangpi very much recognized Yang Fan’s views on Confucian disciples.

She said: "Master, our Yang family must not rely on these Confucian scholars to govern, otherwise we will follow the footsteps of these historical lessons. We must always protect, support business forces, and use them as the basis for our rule. They are the main force in creating wealth and the hope for the future."

Lin Yueru also said: "The rent-seeking group will eventually collapse the world. This has been repeatedly proved by the rebellion of all dynasties. They themselves were eliminated by the rebellion of the lower classes. Then they recycled and created a new rent-seeking group. They kept restarting. Poor Chinese people, their ancestors were trapped in this dry well for generations, and they could not be liberated."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Confucianism has no mind and cannot accommodate criticism. For example, Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao. Therefore, it has no fate with truth. Confucianism has no logic. The Analects of Confucius talk about life experience and common sense, so it has no fate with philosophy. Confucianism does not talk about evidence and talks about morality, so it has no fate with science. Confucianism does not have the courage to surpass power. They depend on the power and have no fate with justice."

"They have no good contributions to this world, but they are unwilling to learn from Taoism, leave the world, and practice themselves. They are unwilling to be lonely and keen on entering the world. In the end, they can only dress themselves up as moral hypocrites. Under the power, they are a thug servant."

"What you do is nothing but embezzlement or licking your knees."

"The highest level that Confucianism claims is that if they are poor, they will be able to survive alone, and if they are prosperous, they will benefit the world. In fact, from a historical perspective, the way for most Confucian disciples to survive in reality is that when they are poor, they will be wag their tails and beg for mercy; when they are rich, they will be full of wives and concubines, and they will do evil."

Yang Fan was in a heavy mood. Looking at the silent wife, he thought to himself that these bastards had caused the two deaths of the Song and Ming dynasties to destroy the country twice, and they almost destroyed the seeds. It was really amazing. If you can't do construction, you don't need to learn to destroy it.

No wonder the May Fourth ancestors were determined to defeat the Kong family store and let them withdraw.

"Master, when I think of the people of China, what kind of life have been like for the past two thousand years, I feel uncomfortable. Can you save them?" the little girl asked with tears in her eyes.

The master is the most capable, and he must have a solution.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do? This is determined by human nature. People are like this. Now the people are suffering, and you sympathize with the people. Don't forget that most Confucian scholars are also from lower classes. After they went up, they did not see that they had any sympathy for the people."

"It is unreliable to put the hope of solving problems on people's kindness." Yang Fan said: "Everyone is ordinary, and there is no such high moral level. There are not many men who have father nature. Most men like this woman, so they love the children she gave birth to. Once they hate this woman, even the children she gave birth to are disgusted with. There are not many men who can put aside their personal feelings and not be affected by their own emotions. It is natural and instinct for people to love their children. What else can they expect to love people without blood relationships?"

Yang Fan has seen too many examples of remarrying and having children after divorce in later generations. He gradually became cold and unfamiliar with the children born to his ex-wife and ex-wife, and finally ignored them.

Xiao Niangpi asked, "What should I do? Is there no reliable way to solve the problem?"

Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "Do you know the case of donkey feeding in the Hongwu period?"

Xiao Niangpi and others shook their heads. I really don’t know this. Although they came from Dongchang, they didn’t know anything.

The general situation of the case is: Zhu Yuanzhang once raised an army of 230,000 to launch the Northern Expedition and ordered the Beiping Administration to prepare donkeys for the army. Each two soldiers equipped a donkey as a foot force. The donkey can carry supplies, or use military rations to kill and eat meat at any time.

When the troops were transferred to about half of the troops, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and announced the cessation of the operation. All soldiers were allowed to return to the garrison, and only the prepared donkeys were left behind, and the Beiping Administration Office was responsible for feeding them.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that if half of the troops arrived in Peiping, the Peking Provincial Administration Office should have prepared at least 50,000 donkeys. The Provincial Administration Office could allocate these donkeys to the people for adoption.

He felt that such a thing would not increase the burden on the people at all. When the farmer went to work, he brought a donkey and tied it to the countryside to eat grass. This would not hinder the farm work, nor would it require extra expenses for fodder.

In his opinion, the best of both worlds is a good idea. The key is that he doesn't want to spend money on raising donkeys.

However, the practice of the Peking Provincial Government Office is to "replace people into towns and feed donkeys in groups of troughs". A donkey shed with troughs (probably a circle with pillars in the middle of the circle to tie donkeys) was built in the city, so that the people could enter the city to serve labor and feed donkeys.

This move made Zhu Yuanzhang furious:

Zhu Yuanzhang speculated that the officials of the Beijing Governor's Office did this to force the people to send bribes to them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! People want to enter the city to feed donkeys, but the forage needs to be taken out of the city to pick up. The round trip takes up manpower and time, and will definitely delay normal farming.

In order to avoid feeding donkeys, some people will give money to officials.

Based on this subjective inference, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Beiping Administration to behead Dong Lingyun and the officials from relevant prefectures, prefectures and counties to behead him.

In fact, the Yuan Dynasty had long thought of the method of "dividing each household to raise" that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted. Not only did he think of it, but he also really used it.

But the people of the Yuan Dynasty finally discovered that compared to the distribution of each household, feeding donkeys in the group trough was the more indestructible system.

Because the households are kept, supervision must be maintained, otherwise the donkey will run away, lose it, die of illness, or lose it, and lose weight. The horses and camels of the government in the Yuan Dynasty were once directly allocated to the people for feeding. The government also wanted to save money and feed.

As a result, those "Puyus" who were responsible for supervising this matter frequently went to the countryside to harass the people in the name of monitoring whether the people were feeding horses and camels.

They lived in the people's houses, demanded food and drink, hurt mulberry fruits, and forced the people to buy feed from themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his own forehead and did not understand the actual situation and made an unjust case.

Those who are clerks can extort and cause many bankruptcy to the people if they give them a little power.

The only way is to reduce their contact with the people, which is a reliable choice to protect the people.

Therefore, corruption cannot be restrained by virtue. It can only be achieved by good methods and systems. Just like the method of raising donkeys in the group trough that the clerks did not have the opportunity to go to the countryside to blackmail.

The little girl's eyes lit up and she said, "Master, I understand. You forced the people of no land and little land to be arrested in the name of suspected rebellion. This is to let them escape from the control of these officials and let them vote with their feet to be liberated."

Yang Fan nodded, this is the way.

No matter how powerful you are, the people will run away and don’t play with you. What can you do? Do you chase them to America and bite them?

"Only if the whole person is consistent, develops outward, and continuously expands the living space and allows the lower class to always have the opportunity to grow and grow, is the right solution. This world is very big, don't always stare at the three melons and two dates in the pot." Yang Fan said.

Chongzhen’s problem now is that he cannot tell who is the donkey and who is the horse in this court.

He was all in his mind and had no insight into external development.

But he can't do it well inside either.
