Chapter 139 [Pulling the seedlings to encourage growth]
Half a step ahead of the times is prophets and sages, and one step ahead is madmen and devils.
Yang Zhu was at least ten steps ahead. If he hadn't been born in the pre-Qin period where a hundred schools of thought contend, not to mention the theory of establishing one's own and spreading words, it would have been a way to die.
Bai Dong is actually a bit contradictory. Facing such a "warrior", he sincerely admires and agrees with some of Yang Zhu's views. However, if this guy turns from a verbal trick into a talent who has truly applied what he has learned, he tricked him into the Bai family to be Mr. Wen, and it would be impossible not to take out some real things.
"Yang Zi's 'the common people don't give up a single hair, and the world is fair' is too biased..."
This is Yang Zhu's most exciting argument. The debate is undoubtedly the best. Bai Dong is not prepared to make a point, as it will complicate this debate and may not be beneficial to him.
"Please say something on Bai Zi." When he saw Bai Dong, he remembered the wonderful dilemma mystery question. With Yang Zhu's arrogance and harshness, he also had to show enough respect.
"Like this theory of civil rights, it is not that Mr. is only beautiful in the past. Confucius once said, 'God must follow the people's wishes'. Master Meng also quoted Tai's oath, 'Only the heaven seeks democracy' and once said, 'The people are the most important, the country is the next, the king is the least.' But Confucius and Mencius both passed on virtue and reputation, but Mr. Meng's name is ugly and ugly, why is it?"
It’s really hard to learn from the ancients to speak. Bai Dong’s sweat is almost over. There is a long way to go to popularize vernacular!
"Hmph, this statement only proves that Confucius and Mencius have a clear view, but have no courage to make decisions. It is like a dragonfly in the water, which only leads to a false reputation! Is Yang Zhu such a frightened person? Since seeing the difficulties of the common people, he should take the name of the common people and make the common people's words! Bai Zi is not a common person, can he teach me with these two ordinary people?"
The ordinary people in Yang Zhu's mouth are naturally Confucius and Mencius. In his opinion, Confucius and Mencius do not see the fact that the rights of the civilians may be violated at any time. But these two people only make occasional comments. Even when making comments, they should quote the words of ancient people, such as Mencius's "Only the time to seek democracy" is the words in the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the Book of the People. Therefore, these two people are knowledgeable, but they are not real warriors and dare not make words with this. They are even more cowardly than women. They are not as good as those civilians and savages with unknown knowledge! What is there to boast about?
"Yang Zi is too extreme."
Mencius should still be debating and giving lectures in Jixia Academy. He has not finished his book "Mencius" yet? Bai Dong thought to himself and turned his head to wave. The ministers were immediately amazed, not because of how cool and generous his waving movements were, but because he saw the flea girl with a peerless face.
The fleas are like a different person today, and their feet are no longer the way to grow lotus step by step. The Han head is low and the little lotus is tiny. They are simply a noble woman with etiquette education. They are wearing a rose-red skirt and holding a pottery pot in their hands. The pot is not a flower. But a green grass. This should be a good horse grass produced in Longxi, which can grow twice a year. This is born in summer.
"gentlemen......"
He also learned to drink bitterly and called the gentleman. The flea gently placed the pottery basin on the case, turned around and smiled, which made Yang Zhu feel stunned. Although he was mean, he knew that he could appreciate the beauty. The quiet fleas were really beautiful, and she would not jump around now.
The flea followed Bai Dong to the Liyang Hall, and remained silent and didn't even say hello to Qin Huaxi. The old Qin monarch and minister only saw her sitting beside her holding a big cloth bag. When everyone remembered the legend of the flea girl moving into Baijiazhuang, everyone knew how to smile. Bai Dong was so brave that the wife of the country had just become a big mediator, she dared not know the other women. However, it seems that it is good to have such a confidante. She is very powerful and beautiful, but she doesn't know how hard she is in bed.
Now that I saw her holding a pot of grass up, Lao Qin and Yang Zhu both saw it inexplicably. What was this kid going to do to cultivate new grass seeds? Lao Qin doesn’t have so many horses, so he doesn’t need any new grass seeds. Besides, it’s not appropriate to bring it up at this time?
"Yang Zi, this grass is green and green. I want him to grow up quickly. What do you think of doing this?"
As he said that, he gently pinched the grass stem and lifted it up. The grass was immediately pulled up by half an inch. Bai Dong laughed: "I knew it was feasible. Look, this grass has become taller!"
The allusion of the plucking seedlings to grow is first seen in the book "Mencius". This book was the result of Mencius's life's hard work, but it was still not completed after his death. It was the final compilation by his disciples Wan Zhang and Gongsun Chou to be completed. After coming to this era, Bai Dong had contacted many scholars, but neither Jingjian, Du Zhi nor Qin Yue people had heard of this allusion, so he used it to warn Yang Zhu, hoping that it would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Boy, are you crazy or crazy?"
Yang Zhu was so obsessed with her eyes and blurted out the boy, then laughed loudly, and the monarch and ministers in the hall laughed loudly. The flea returned to his seat and looked at the laughing people with some anger, frowned slightly. She also didn't understand why Bai Dong did this, let alone these noble literati and doctors, even she could see that doing so would only kill the grass.
Yang Zhu had a mean temperament and pointed at the grass in the basin and smiled so hard that he couldn't help it: "Hehe, if you get this grass like this, I'm afraid it's going to die soon. Boy, you should call it... to pull out seedlings to grow? But I don't know that the more I want it to grow quickly, it will kill it. Alas, with your intelligence, why are you so stupid?" It's worthy of being Yang Zhu, the idiom to pull out seedlings to grow was first summarized by him, and there is nothing Mencius has to do.
"Yang Zi laughed at me for helping me to grow. Don't you know that the people in the world are laughing at you for helping me grow? Confucius and Mencius did not make any statement when they saw the civil rights, just because they did not want to do such stupid things! The importance of civil rights, don't say that the gentleman knew clearly, even the ancient kings also had their opinions. The records in the Book of Books and Sutras are proof of this. Confucianism may not be fools, and it is not only the gentleman in the world who is a wise man. Why can everyone follow the laws of heaven and earth and know that the 'green seedlings' will grow naturally? Only the gentleman wants to pull them out with one effort? Don't you know that this move will only lead to death quickly?"
Bai Dong smiled slightly: "If the country does not care about the people, then the country will not be a country. There are laws in everything, but too much will be too much! Yang Zi knows that Dong has seen strict laws protecting the interests of the common people in his dream country? The country has made great efforts to build a dam and create water conservancy. But there is an old woman who is home where she passes through the dam. If she wants to build a dam, she has to demolish the old woman's house, but the old woman does not allow it. Guess what happened later?"
"How did you come later?" This small case was actually owned by later generations. Bai Dong told it at this time, which immediately aroused Yang Zhu's great interest and he didn't even care about refuting it. Lao Yinglian was also thinking that if this was the case with Lao Qin, he would definitely have to demolish the old woman's house.
"Later, the country would rather build a hundred-mile embankment than keep the old woman's house! Although this was what the boy saw in his dream, it was hard to tell whether it was true or not, but Yang Zi would definitely praise it. I was not wrong?"
"Miyaji, that's what it should be!"
Yang Zhu laughed. This was the ideal country he pursued. If Bai Dong hadn't said in advance that he was in a dream country, even if he had traveled thousands of miles apart, he would have to go to this country to see it. It would be better to live there and never come back."
"But even in such a country, the people have various obligations. They have to pay heavy taxes to the country, serve the country, and sacrifice their lives on the battlefield when they encounter state-owned wars... It can be seen that everything in the world must follow the balance. It is not right to plunder private property in the name of public, but it is also a big mistake to resist all public power in the name of private rights! What's more, today's countries are divided into tens of countries and the princes are fighting endlessly. If the people of the world do not pull a single hair, how can the country survive? If the country does not exist, what is the family? If the family is destroyed, how can the body survive? I said Yangzi is the only one who can help grow. Are you wrong?"
"Well said!"
The first person to praise Lao Yinglian, followed by Ganlong, and the fungus... Lao Qin's ministers cheered. Even people like Du Zhi, who were so gloomy, were convinced by Bai Dong. It was a good person who was so arrogant that he could help grow, and it was a good person who followed the way of balance. Bai Zi was really a talented person!
Bai Dong looked at Yang Zhu and waited for his answer; if the famous Yang Zhu couldn't even understand this principle, it would be too disappointing.
Yang Zhu pondered for a long time and suddenly looked up at Bai Dong: "Interesting, interesting! Although I still have some questions, I can't beat you today. Well... Is your kid's words counting last time? If I became Mr. Wen of the Bai family, would I have fine wine and fat fish every day?"
"Don't worry, Yang Zi, it's not just a good wine and fat fish? The food in the Bai family is unparalleled!"
Bai Dong laughed loudly (To be continued...)
