Chen Mu was very suspicious that Yang Gao was not a fortune teller at all.

So he asked Zou Yuanbiao to let Yang Gao go, and finally whipped him forty according to the price gouging, but told him that he could not be fooled by others, otherwise he would be sentenced to death next time and he would not be allowed to leave Changsheng.

He cleverly used the rhetoric. If he died this year, Chen Mu would let the other three people go, if it weren't for the fourth year, Chen Mu would be allowed to deal with it... Putting aside the matter of letting Chen Mu take care of it, don't bother with the result, Yang Gao was actually quite profitable.

Chen Mu believes that he has good reverse thinking.

"Why did the Grand Marshal let him go?"

Zhao Shizhen was very puzzled by this matter. To put it bluntly, even if the law is complete, it is difficult to strictly follow the rules in such ambiguous situations. The crimes of creating evil books and evil words in Minglu are actually mostly oriented towards "teaching" rather than "word". In the early years, the severe punishments were to stop the surging cult organizations from the end of the Yuan Dynasty from causing damage to society, rather than to deal with scammers like Yang Gao.

When the law items cannot accurately match them, it is difficult to avoid using the rule of man. Although in Chen Mu's previous world timeline, people had a positive meaning of the word "legal system" and the word "rule of man" had a negative meaning, Chen Mu actually believed that this was not a matter of simply praise or criticism.

The legal system and rule of man are one thing. The legal system is moving, and it is constantly moving forward to adapt to social needs to achieve strict, equal implementation and compliance; Confucian rule of man pays more attention to the particularity of each person as an independent individual, and emphasizes that the moral governance of the monarch and law enforcement officers and supervisors is in "benevolence". Law is indispensable, but the ruler is upright and does not follow the orders.

In the era when Chen Mu lived, a truly sound legal system, legal system, rule of man, ritual system, and moral governance were all essential.

Because before the law enforcement officer becomes a robot, the more sound legal system enforcer is still a human being. If he is a human being, he will be wise and mediocre, and there will be seven emotions and six desires and positions.

If the rule of man and moral governance fail, a huge moral decline in society will inevitably lead to the failure of the legal system.

Is it fair to punish Yang Gao for his crime of making a monster book and making a monster? Can Chen Mu's idea be achieved by whipping him for 40?

Zhao Shizhen curled his lips. He didn't have these things in his head. He just raised his fingers with hatred and said, "I heard from the magistrate Zou that this man was scarred when he was whipping. I think he was punished for this matter in China. Now he ran to Yazhou to make trouble."

"The Grand Marshal was allowed to get the 80,000 Tongbao back, it was too cheap for him."

In the end, Zou Yuanbiao did not deduct the 80,000 Tongbao, but only deducted the hundreds of stones of old grain from Yang Gaotun in the warehouse, so that he would no longer harm the society.

Chen Mu smiled, looked out the window, and sighed: "He is a liar, but he is very smart and a talented person. He just took the wrong path. I want to see what he will do next, if there is not too much risk."

He withdrew his gaze and said to Zhao Shizhen: "How about recruiting him as an aide?"

Chen Mu believed that Yang Gao knew some divination techniques, but unlike the ones he thought about religion or metaphysics, who were pretending to be a god or a ghost, although he could be a god or a ghost, Chen Mu was more willing to believe that it was an ancient data discipline.

When King Wen wrote the "Book of Changes", he initially only provided the ancient ancestors with means to seek profit and avoid harm. In popular terms, the "Book of Changes" is very materialistic. If you really want to say idealistic, it is probably only the point of "I wish a gentleman to be like a dragon".

You can even imagine this as King Wen is talking to people.

For example, the most well-known first hexagram in the "Book of Changes" is Qian hexagram.

On the ninth day of the lunar calendar, do not use the hidden dragon.

Don’t exert your power in a new environment, be a human being with your tail between your legs.

Nine Three, a gentleman works hard all day long, and is as vigilant as he is harsh at night, without any blame.

You must work diligently all day long and be vigilant even at night. This is very safe and harmful.

Nine Four, maybe leaping in the abyss, without any fault.

If your career has ups and downs, don’t worry, this is not a bad thing.

Nine Five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to meet the great master.

All of them have reached the level of 5, which means that they have made some achievements of their own, like a dragon flying in the sky, and they want to act like a big man.

In the upper nine, Kanglong regrets.

Since you are a big shot, don't act too arrogant, otherwise the danger will be approaching. Be alert and don't let something regret happen.

This is a set of methodologies that guide the ancestors to do things.

It is not enough to believe that the far-fetched theory of gods and ghosts is beyond belief. Chen Mu is more willing to summarize and develop a new practical philosophy by summarizing and divination that later derived Feng Shui and divination. If it is not suitable for the development of the times, it should be abandoned instead of sticking to the incompleteness.

Just as Deng Zilong said to Chen Mu, Feng Shui likes to circulate and avoids rushing straight, and the gate goes straight to the main road and calls an arrow to penetrate the heart. The ancients often live in fields and do not live in towns, and there are many people who move on the roads in the wilderness. When they see small farmers with unique courtyards, they will easily become evil and naturally not beautiful.

This is the same when the car is pushed back and the chance of seeing a car accident is naturally much higher than elsewhere.

Feng Shui in Siheyuan is taboo to go to the door, saying that it is a verbal condemnation, which is easy to cause trouble. The relatives of two families can see what you are doing at home at a glance, so it is naturally easy to cause trouble.

But Chen Mu also partially reserved his attitude towards Deng Zilong's words. He believed that the so-called resolution was too nonsense, and at most it would add a little psychological comfort to those who had already committed taboos.

Just hang a Jinfu on the door? It’s better to tear the two walls and rebuild the two doors without any stalemate.

"What is recruiting him to do? Isn't he just a liar? The Grandmaster, you can tell fortunes, look at people, look at the nanny, and finally you can make some evil fortunes."

Zhao Shizhen said a very heart-wrenching sentence, and raised three fingers to Chen Mu, "He knows everything, but he is still a poor man. He would rather cheat half of the ever-winning person and let the price of grain rise. In the end, he made thirty taels, but got 40 sticks."

As he said that, the mechanics unit shook his head: "I don't know anything, and I still live better than him."

Chen Mu pointed his fingers at the old god: "One life, two fortunes, three Feng Shui, four accumulations of good deeds and five readings. If you follow Chen, you will be lucky, you know."

"Don't you think Yang Gao was born specifically for trouble?"

When Zhao Shizhen heard this, he even lost his intention to refute Chen Mu's previous words. He widened his eyes and said, "The Grand Marshal knows that he is a troublemaker, and he still wants to recruit him into the shogunate?"

"A little more enlarged, the North-South Military Academy and North-South Eryang train countless dangerous people every year. These dangerous people are used by the Ming Dynasty, which can make the people of the Ming Dynasty safer; people like Yang Gao will be executed at home, but it becomes different abroad. Didn't you find that he is trying to get the chestnut in the fire when affecting the market price?"

"Having the knowledge of ancient books allows him to know people's hearts, know what people like to hear and what they say will make others think after they say."

Chen Mu said confidently: "I even suspected that Yang Gao had already inquired about Chen's character before he boarded the boat on the east ferry. He knew that I did not respect gods, Buddhas and did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he said those very different words - smart, destructive, good at speaking, a little bit about economics, and seemed to just want to make money."
