Chapter 344: Poor Mountains And Rivers Lead To Unruly People? Or Will The People Not Be Able To Surv
After bowing and thanking him, King Zhu Fan of Jin looked up at Yan Changqing again and asked:
"Mr. Yan said before that the first point is to pay attention to the clan, is there a second point that needs to be paid attention to?!!"
Yan Changqing nodded slightly and said:
"The second thing to pay attention to is——the poor mountains and the poor people!!!"
"I want to ask you a question, is it the poor people who come out of poor mountains and poor waters?!!"
"Or are the people living in such a harsh environment unable to survive if they are different?!!"
After hearing Yan Changqing's words, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all fell into deep thought.
They have heard the saying "poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people" before, but does it mean "poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people"?!!
Or is it "people are living in harsh mountains and rivers, and they can survive without being cunning"?!!
They had never thought about this before.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting at the back, sighed leisurely. This issue may still need to be thought about by the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and so on.
But for Zhu Yuanzhang, he only needs to briefly review his life as a beggar and refugee in his youth to know the answer.
【Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people?!!】
[Hey, how can the people survive in the poor mountains and rivers without being cunning!!!]
Don't talk about the poor mountains and rivers, just talk about the days when he was a beggar and a homeless man.
During the days when he was a beggar and a homeless man, he was better than anyone else!!!
Don't think that beggars and refugees are weak people. In fact, beggars and refugees are the most bullying and fearful of evil groups.
If he is not "tricky", he will become weak and easy to bully in the eyes of other beggars and refugees.
After that, all the other beggars and refugees would come to bully him, and they would all come to rob him of the food and money he had begged for and picked up.
The final result is that either he was bullied like this and in order to survive, 010 became as "tricky" as other beggars and refugees.
Let other beggars and refugees dare not come over to bully you, and dare not come over to pick up the food and money you have begged and picked up.
Or he was bullied by other beggars and refugees and eventually starved to death!!!
There is no third option!!!
So he chose to become as "tricky" as other beggars and refugees, or even more "tricky" than them.
During that time, relying on his youth and strength, he "accidentally" killed and maimed many beggars and homeless people.
It was precisely because of "accidental" beatings to death or maiming many beggars and refugees that other beggars and refugees knew that they were not easy to bully and that they were "very".
He was just able to survive with difficulty during the days when he was a beggar and a refugee!!!
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, suppressed the memories of his past experiences, and looked up at Yan Changqing, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Because the land he arranged for the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes in the county was basically an environment of poor mountains and harsh waters.
It is not an easy task to manage such an environment and the "unruly people" in such an environment.
It is more appropriate to say that the "unruly people" who live in poor mountains and rivers are ignorant and fearless.
Now Yan Changqing is obviously deliberately giving instructions to Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes on how to deal with such "unruly people" in the future.
Not only did he not object to such behavior, he even hoped that Yan Changqing could speak more. Then he would look at the practical results of princes such as Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di. (bhfh)
If the practical results are good, he will publish this part of the content into a book and let all the magistrates and counties in the world read it through and understand the essence.
In this way, it will surely be more or less helpful to the magistrates in every county in the world tomorrow.
After a while, Yan Changqing looked at Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and asked:
"How? Your Highnesses, do you have the answer?!!"
Upon hearing Yan Changqing's inquiry, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes also pondered slightly and then answered:
"It should be 'people are living in a harsh environment and cannot survive unless they are cunning'?!"
"I think it should still be 'poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people', after all this has been said since ancient times.
"I also think it's 'people cannot survive in the harsh environment of mountains and rivers."
Soon, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes expressed their opinions.
Yan Changqing nodded and did not say whose opinion was right or wrong. Instead, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting at the back and said with a gentle expression:
“I wonder if Your Majesty thinks it’s because “poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people”, or whether “people live in poor mountains and harsh waters, and they can’t survive without being unruly?!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph, of course it's 'people are living in poor mountains and harsh rivers, and they can't survive unless they are cunning'!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang then told his past experiences as a beggar and refugee without expression.
When they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang "accidentally" beat other beggars and refugees to death just for one or two steamed buns, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes opened their mouths in shock.
Although they all knew that Lao'zi was a beggar and a refugee, they thought that the beggars and refugees were the kind of weak people who squatted on the roadside and looked extremely pitiful and vulnerable.
But who would have known that the beggars and refugees who appear to be the weakest and most vulnerable are secretly competing with each other [Dongshi is more ferocious and bloody than any group they know and is merciless!
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished talking about his own experience, Yan Changqing turned sideways and circled the three elements of "class solidification" previously written on the blackboard.
Then Yan Changqing turned to look at Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and said:
"But still remember what I just said about the three elements of [class solidification]: 'limited resources', 'the instinct to pursue a better life and future, and the 'first instinct to prioritize one's own survival'?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all nodded to express that they still remembered.
Yan Changqing nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said calmly:
"Because of the limited resources in the country and society, the instinct to pursue a better life and future, and the first instinct to prioritize ensuring one's own survival.
"So in order to stay in the ruling class for a long time, the ruling class will subconsciously consolidate the class and deprive other people at the bottom of the opportunity to advance."
"In the same way, poor mountains and poor waters mean limited resources!!!"
"The natural tendency to pursue a better life and future, and the first instinct to prioritize ensuring one's own survival, has led to the fact that if people in a harsh environment want to survive, they must become 'diao'!!! "
“Because only by becoming ‘diao’ can they survive in harsh environments like remote mountains and harsh rivers, as well as in cruel competition with other people.
"It is useless for you to talk to them about laws, morals, and education in places like poor mountains and harsh waters, as well as the 'unruly people' in such places."
"Essentially, any place with poor mountains and rivers is a place that is outside of moral laws and respects the law of the jungle."
"In a place like that, verbal enlightenment is far more tangible than giving them a bag of rice weighing one pound, and it can make them recognize you more.
“How can I lead them out of poverty and become rich in such a place where laws are not widely spread and even morality cannot be taken into consideration?!!”
"The answer is to become the majority party and then implement your own policies.
"How to make yourself part of the local majority?!!"
"It's very simple, that is to win over a group of people, suppress a group of people, moderate a group of people, and finally pick up the suppressed group of people and decide whether to bring them back together depending on the situation."
“How to win over a group of people?!!”
“The simplest thing is to provide real benefits, such as rice, oil, salt, etc., or to build roads, water canals, etc. in a certain township, town, village, etc.
"Through these benefits, we can quickly attract a group of supporters."
"You need to know what kind of power you have, and then you need to know what kind of things you can do through such power."
"Just like building roads and water canals as mentioned just now, as long as you have this power, you can use it to gain support from some people.
"After all, where to start building this road and this canal is also very particular."
"If you start from the door of your home, or from the side of your own rice field, then your family or your own rice field can enjoy it for a day earlier."
"And just one day earlier is enough for many people to support you, please you, and even bribe you!"
"How to suppress a group?!!"
"For example, if someone strongly opposes you, you can put the time to build roads and canals that pass through their house to the end, or even bypass their house, in order to suppress them.
"And those who are being suppressed will object to such an arrangement."
"Then you don't need to ask, other people who can enjoy the benefits brought by building roads and canals in advance will take the initiative to help you suppress it."
"Human nature and power are so dim sometimes."
"Only when you solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, make the resources in the "poor mountains and rivers" no longer so limited, and allow the people to live well without having to be so 'unruly'."
"At that time, it will be time for you to promote the law, teach education, and preach morality."
"As the saying goes, 'If you are endowed with warehouses, you will know the etiquette; if you are well-clothed, you will know the honor and disgrace.' This is the case."
