Chapter 5724 The source of power cannot be controlled by heaven

The ancestor kept listening quietly. This time it was different from before. It seemed that these words had some touching him. After a long time, when Liu Yu finished all this, his passionate voice echoed in the ancestor's ears, the ancestor sighed slightly and said, "As a mortal, what you said makes sense. The earliest mortals formed a group and a tribe, which was indeed to protect each tribe, but human abilities had a high or low level, and the tribe also had division of labor and cooperation. So gradually, there was a leader, who arranged for the tribe to do different things, some hunted, some fought, some collected, some raised children and took care of the elderly. Gradually, the tribe became a city-state, and the city-state became a country, and there was a division of labor in all walks of life."

"But people's hearts are complicated, greedy, and desires are difficult to control, which will lead to people always thinking about doing less and paying more benefits. They will be dissatisfied with their class and industry, and have strong abilities and are in the top priority. They will become nobles and scholars, gradually break away from physical labor and focus on managing others, just like you, Liu Yu, now you have great power. Could it be that you would go farming and fishing by yourself like when you were a farmer in Jingkou?"

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Although I don't go to farm myself, I have never slacked off for a day and have never given up on my work. I have to govern the country, consolidate the army and fight, and deal with the official affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty in person. Even if Liu Muzhi and the others handled it first and then decided it, I am not like those parasites that have been harvested without any effort, doing nothing every day."

The ancestor smiled and said, "So you have become the kind of ruler and manager you hate. You also admit that the human country must have such division of labor. You do it yourself, but some people are not. They sit in that position, because of the role of human nature, want to enjoy it, but don't want to work hard. Can you reverse and change this human nature? Don't talk about yourself, just say that your brothers from Beijing are all like you, and they are in power to govern the country and serve the people. I'm afraid that most people are like the children of aristocratic families. If they have wealth, they should enjoy it."

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I admit that you are right, but the more this happens, the more education is needed. There are too many weaknesses in human nature, such as greed, laziness, and selfishness, but there are also many good things, such as kindness, mutual assistance, loyalty and filial piety. Just like human desires, they can satisfy themselves, or for their family, and many corrupt officials, their corruption is not for their own enjoyment, but for their family to accumulate wealth. Then change the idea. If they can regard the people of the world and the people as their own family and relatives, can they use their talents and abilities to serve the people of the world? In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, people will also have various needs, such as making achievements and making a name for themselves, which depends on how you use it. If you use it well, you can serve the country and the people. If you use it poorly, you will be infamous for thousands of years."

The ancestor sneered: "I don't believe that people will have no selfish desires, not for themselves, but for others. The power is in hand to make themselves happy, not to make others happy."

Liu Yu said seriously: "At least, in our era, someone did this. Do you not believe me, a person who came from later generations, don't you, just for the people of the world?"

The ancestor gritted his teeth: "You are an alien, at least in this world. The aliens in this era are definitely not a common phenomenon. Liu Yu, don't lie to yourself. In this world, there will never be many people like you."

Liu Yu shook his head: "All this depends on education, and on people who know books and answer rituals. With culture and talents different from wild animals, they will have morality, shame, and a correct view of honor and disgrace. The reason why I want the people of the world to have the right to receive education, to be able to read and read is for this."

The ancestor laughed: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, how could you have such an idea? Do you become noble after reading books and reading words? The children of aristocratic families you most despise, those who live in high positions but do not want to serve the people of the world, and only want to enslave and exploit others, which one is not full of knowledge, and which one does not understand the Four Books and Five Classics? But everything they learn is to oppress and rule others, how many of them are to care about the world and contribute to the people? Of course, it is not to say that there are no such people, but there are too few, and those Zhou Li Confucianism themselves teach people to rule.

The skills teach these noble scholars how to enslave and manage the people and let them work for themselves, but they are covered with a layer of benevolence and righteousness, so that those rulers can talk about benevolence and morality and care about the world, but they are actually thieves and prostitutes, and they get nothing for nothing. They just think about how to give themselves and how to gain benefits for the family. The nobles of aristocrats have created such children to recommend officials to each other, just to ensure that these families can possess power forever? Are they the ones they want to be officials? Is it the welfare of the people and the people you say?”

When the ancestor said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Even if it is Liu Muzhi and Wang Miaoyin, do you think they have the same position as you? After all, they are also aristocratic families and gentry. They appreciate your character and worship your character, but they will not really betray their class and position for you. When you are alive, they will assist you and act according to your will. But they also know that your ideas will never be truly realized, because you cannot defeat human nature. This cannot be solved by education or by so-called knowledge and rituals. The Four Books and Five Classics write about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but in fact, they are clear-cut and distinct hierarchical. The more you let the people in the world learn knowledge and culture, the more they will understand that there are high and low levels everywhere in this world. Only by being content with the status quo and accepting the rule and management of the strong and superiors is the way to survive."
