I built the Salvation Organization

Chapter 289
"It is a catastrophe for ghosts to open wide. From now on, this world should coexist with ghosts."

Lilac's voice seemed to reach everyone's ears like the wind, and it was as cold as the spring of Xuefeng.

And the audience was extremely quiet.

Just like Ding Xiang's last appearance, all the voices seemed to disappear without a trace at this moment, even the sound of his own heartbeat could not be heard, only Ding Xiang's voice was left in his ears.

"However, misfortune and good fortune depend on each other, and the immortal king is in charge of rewarding the good and punishing the evil. In this world, there will be disasters without crime, and there will also be blessings without merit. Today, I am following the order of the immortal king to pass on the way to you. How much you get depends on you."

These words made everyone suddenly realize something.

Last time, Li Shimin was surprised that the fairy appeared after they bowed for only one day, and left a question. As long as they answered it, they could teach some of the best principles in the world.

This seems a bit too easy.

After all, this is the most reasonable thing in the world.

Now it is explained.

The ghosts and monsters are wide open, and the catastrophe in the world is not because of their sins, so the current preaching is regarded as compensation.

And Ding Xiang's words continued.

"I was asked before, if the people of the world no longer need to ask for food and clothing, what should they ask for? If you have an answer, you can raise your hand."

Even if this is straight to the point, dozens of people raised their hands as soon as the voice fell.

After all, during this period of time, everyone has been thinking about this issue.

Naturally, it is fully prepared now.

Finally, Ding Xiang's eyes moved to Kong Yingda.

"You can answer." He said directly.

"Xie Xianzi." Kong Yingda also found that she could make a sound, and said slowly with a serious face, "These days, Yingda lives in the fields, eats and sleeps with the people in the fields, observes his words and deeds, and asks what he thinks. Thinking, from the poor, the rich, and the country gentry, they are all different, and they have their own income."

After these words, many people turned their heads in surprise.

As the leader of Confucianism in the world, Kong Yingda's status is actually quite noble, and coupled with his advanced age, he needs someone to take care of him in daily life.

But he actually went to the countryside to eat and sleep with those rural farmers?
This is hard work.

At this moment, even a person like Mo Hui, who is confident in his answer, feels a little uneasy at this moment.

I don't know what answer Kong Yingda will give.

And Kong Yingda just paused for a while, and continued:
"The poor people think about it day and night, and what they ask for is a full meal. Most of them are landless. They are slaves of rich peasants and gentry, and what they ask for is nothing more than a little food. They just have to live.

This is not the case for rich peasants. They own their own fields, and the income they earn from their work is enough to feed their family.

Directly reaching the stream of country gentry, there is no need to work, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. What they want is that the children of their family can enter private schools, learn from them, and seek their positions.

Therefore, Ying Da believes that the people of the world should first seek survival, then food and clothing, and then seek high status. All the people learn etiquette and morality, regulate their behavior with etiquette, and feel their hearts with morality. If there are outstanding ones, they can enter the court as officials and lure them with high positions. From then on, there will be an endless supply of talents in the world. "

This is Kong Yingda's answer.

It does not quote the classics, but it is also in line with Confucianism.

Because what he said is actually extending the changes of ordinary people from poverty to wealth in today's era to the people of the world, thinking that if all the people in the world become squires, all the people can accept the rules of etiquette and morality. Teach, use this to regulate their actions, influence their hearts, and use being an official to lure the people to study hard.

to be honest.

It still emphasizes the Confucianism of "rule by ritual and rule by virtue".

Shen Yi nodded secretly after listening.

To some extent, this is in line with the modern model. Since everyone can have enough to eat, let everyone learn, and then use this kind of education to regulate people's words, deeds and hearts, and let the best among them get higher social status.

Although the actual situation will not be so simple, the general direction is indeed like this.

Shen Yi was rather curious about how Ding Xiang would answer.

"Those with good etiquette and virtue can enter the court and become officials. However, such people have the ability to be officials." Ding Xiang said slowly.

"This..." Kong Yingda thought for a moment, then said cautiously, "If you are polite and virtuous, you will be able to educate one side, and you will have the ability to be an official."

"So, your answer is that what the people want is to be an official, and what the officials want is to educate the side, that is, what the people want is to educate the side?" Ding Xiang asked again.

Kong Yingda's expression suddenly became a little dazed and confused.

According to his observation.

Those country gentry who have become rich really want to be an official.

And to be an official, you really need to educate one side.

Looking at it this way, it can be deduced that there is nothing wrong with what the people seek to educate the side.

If it was the emperor who asked him at this moment, he would definitely nod.

However, in front of the immortal, he really couldn't nod.

How many people have the will and desire to so educate one!
Sweat was already dripping from Kong Yingda's forehead, and he already realized where the question he answered was.

There is nothing wrong with people asking for status after they have no worries about food and clothing, but what about after they have obtained status?
If you want to ask for a higher status, then it's better to say something.

But if that’s all, or if you can’t see further development and lose further goals, the motivation to learn, and even the constraints of ethics, will drop to a certain extent.

There are not a few corrupt officials who have read the books of sages and virtuous people.

"It's human nature for the people to seek high status and power." Ding Xiang said slowly, "But if everyone desires this, then there will be filth. How many officials can there be in the world? How can the system of selecting officials ensure fairness and justice, rather than being occupied by powerful families? In the long run, those who don’t get what they want will accumulate resentment, and conflicts will be difficult to resolve, and conflicts will arise suddenly.”

Kong Yingda lowered his head, dripping with cold sweat, already a little speechless.

The answer he gave was actually to expand the current model.

However, with the expansion of the model, the disadvantages have also expanded.

People in the world learn Confucianism, most of them just because learning Confucianism can make them gain status, but there are very few people who really follow Confucianism from the inside out.

That is to say, in this court, which one doesn't talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but thinks and acts for their own interests.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was already unable to answer.

Those around who raised their hands before were also a little silent.
