Zhang Fei has already covered all the content he prepared, leaving nothing behind. This class mainly talks about the legislative principles and guiding ideology of the law of the rule of law.
How to distinguish between national and monarchical interests and personal rights.
Because in previous thinking, the two were contradictory.
That is, first make a distinction and then introduce a compensation mechanism.
Very satisfactory.
Everyone could see that Zhang Fei wanted to resign, but there seemed to be no reason to stop him, but Wang Anshi suddenly jumped out.
Another question is raised.
Funding.
Such complex legislative principles will inevitably increase the consumption of executive agencies.
For example, if someone owes money and doesn't pay it back, usually they won't take it to the government. Even if they do, it's just that you come once and I fight you back. It's easy and simple and doesn't add much burden to the government.
But if it is based on the law of the rule of law, then everyone will probably go to the government.
The current government simply cannot bear it.
The public security, procuratorial and judicial organs have just come out, and the emperor has not yet decided whether to popularize it nationwide. It remains to be seen whether it is feasible.
So when Wang Anshi said this, everyone suddenly reacted.
Yes!
The actual conditions do not allow us to do this.
Sima Guang glanced at Wang Anshi with contempt in his eyes, but he did not say anything. Sima Guang was a person who paid more attention to details. In Zhang Fei's class, he basically did not speak, as he felt that speaking was a manifestation of impoliteness.
Although Wang Anshi also adhered to principles, he never cared about these red tape.
"I'm really sorry, I'm just taking a law class. As for these issues, they are not within my consideration." Zhang Fei shook his head and apologized.
Wang Anshi immediately said: "If you don't consider this problem, then the problem you just mentioned is very easy to solve. If you really don't have the money to pay back, the government can compensate you.
Since you just mentioned the issue of compensation, you should also consider the government's expenses. If the government has to spend more than the amount of debt to defend the rights of individuals, it will inevitably cause problems for the government's finances, and ultimately it may fall on the people. "
The students nodded frequently as they listened.
If we want to do well, we have to spend money, which is indeed worth considering.
Even Zhao Xu frowned and thought, a good cook cannot cook without rice!
Zhang Fei glanced at Wang Anshi, pondered for a moment, smiled and nodded, saying: "What Wang Xueshi is worried about is indeed correct, but there is a saying that goes, 'If you are not in a position, you should not interfere in other people's affairs.' Isn't this Wang Xueshi's responsibility?"
Then he said to the students, "If you want to know how to solve this problem, go to the Mathematics Hall next door to learn. I can't teach you this."
As soon as these words were spoken, the old scholars suddenly realized that Wang Anshi was not targeting the law of the legal system, but was using it to promote his own political ideas.
What is the legal system? Finance is the foundation of everything!
I am the most important.
Sima Guang opened his mouth, but he held it back. But Wen Yanbo couldn't help it and laughed, "It's not that Shang Yang, Han Feizi and others didn't want to think about this step, but because they knew that this legal system was not feasible at all."
Since you, Wang Anshi, have already started this, you might as well add fuel to the fire.
However, this old fox is also very cunning. He first provokes a dispute between the laws of the Legalists and the laws of the legal system to see what they say. If there is an opportunity, the Confucian laws will come out and sweep the battlefield.
The students felt that what Wen Yanbo said made a lot of sense. Given the situation in the Qin Dynasty at that time, how could it be possible to enforce the rule of law? Shang Yang and Han Fei were right.
Zhang Fei really hadn't prepared anything about this this time, so he smiled and said, "We'll talk about this in the next class."
Shangguan Jun immediately said, "Didn't you say that this class can be postponed a little bit?"
After saying that, many people immediately looked at Xu Zhiqian.
Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian. He had forgotten about it himself. He thought, beautiful girl, your ticket is really expensive! He couldn't help but complain, "You've been brewing for so long, where's the tea? No wonder I feel dry in my mouth and can't continue."
Xu Zhiqian was so absorbed in what she was hearing that she had no time to prepare tea. Knowing she was in the wrong, she quickly poured a cup of tea for Zhang Fei, and offered it to him with both hands, whispering, "You're not really unprepared, are you?"
Zhang Fei took the teacup and asked, "What do you think?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "This issue of righteousness and profit is also the core dispute between Legalism and Confucianism. Aren't you prepared for this?"
Righteousness and profit
Zhang Fei couldn't help but frown.
Xu Zhiqian added: "I asked you to read more books before, but you refused to listen. Now you are in trouble."
"you shut up."
Zhang Fei glared at her, took a few sips, and then handed it back to her, saying, "Another one."
Xu Zhiqian poured him another glass.
Zhang Fei held the teacup, leaned against the podium, and pondered.
There was silence in the classroom.
Sima Guang and Xu Zun also felt a little anxious because they knew that Zhang Fei was going to give a lecture every few days.
This is a brand new idea. The only similar person like Yang Zhu left only a tiny bit of information about it. He was very stingy. There is no historical book to refer to, so you can only think about it yourself.
After a while, Zhang Fei suddenly drank the tea in the cup, and then came to the wooden board. "Mr. Wang's words make sense. Without financial support, many things are out of the question. What kind of thought is this? Does anyone know?"
Cai Bian replied uncertainly: "When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette; when people have enough food and clothing, they will know honor and disgrace."
"Who said this?"
"tube."
"What kind of thought?"
"Legalist."
"good."
Zhang Fei wrote Legalism on the board, and then wrote below, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when people have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace." He then asked, "What is the opposite of this idea?"
"Confucianism." Shangguan Jun replied.
Zhang Fei wrote "Confucianism" and asked, "How do you say it?"
Shangguan Jun replied: "Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want; I cannot have both, so I would rather sacrifice life for righteousness."
Zhang Fei immediately wrote this sentence again.
After seeing this, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but think, this kid is really cunning.
He originally wanted to provoke a dispute between the two laws first, but looking at the current situation, Zhang Fei seemed to want to provoke a dispute between Confucianism and Legalism.
Zhang Fei also wrote "Law of the legal system", "Based on the law of the legal system, how should it be interpreted?"
There was a sudden silence.
this... .
Have you said that
Zhang Fei waited for a long time and said with a sigh: "You are really good at studying. Your brains are not active at all."
The students have reached the stage where they are not afraid of boiling water.
You complain!
You can vomit as much as you want.
That’s what we are like.
Seeing that their faces were no longer red, Zhang Fei also knew that the lethality of complaints was weakening, so he directly wrote four words under the law of the legal system - sacrifice one's life for profit.
Everyone was stunned.
The Legalists at least encouraged everyone to pursue interests, but you are just risking your life for the sake of interests. You even give up your life for the sake of interests. This is even crazier!
Zhang Fei added: "You should be clear that on the issue of righteousness and profit, Confucianism and Legalism are opposite, but not absolutely opposite. Legalism does not deny 'righteousness', but emphasizes 'profit' more. Under the condition of prosperity, the people will understand etiquette.
Confucianism does not deny "profit", but emphasizes "righteousness" more. Life is what I desire, but when it comes to righteousness, I must sacrifice my life for righteousness.
I won’t say much about the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism. If you were to argue about it, I guess you could argue for a whole day. After all, it has been going on for thousands of years.”
Everyone chooses the default.
This is indeed true. This issue has been debated for too long, and no new ideas have been proposed.
They were not willing to argue in this class, after all, Teacher Zhang started talking about the end of get out of class during the class.
"Then let's focus on discussing righteousness and interests under the rule of law."
Zhang Fei said: "What is the concept of the law of the rule of law?"
“Defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals.”
Everyone answered in unison.
Zhang Fei asked again: "What is the law of the law of the legal system based on?"
“Fairness and justice.”
"If we want to uphold the rule of law, then...!"
Zhang Fei pointed at the wooden board and asked, "How do you understand the phrase 'sacrifice one's life for the sake of profit'?"
“… … !”
Everyone was a little confused and didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Fei shook his head, and then said: "To put it simply, we will defend your legitimate rights and interests to the death."
Fu Bi's eyes lit up and he murmured to himself, "So it's your legitimate rights and interests?"
"Can it be understood this way?" Zhang Fei asked again.
Everyone nodded, not quite understanding.
Zhang Fei added: "In fact, whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, righteousness and profit are like fish and bear's paw, you can't have both. But under the rule of law, both are indispensable, and there is no distinction between the importance and priority. When you lose profit, righteousness becomes meaningless. And when you lose righteousness, your rights and interests will not be guaranteed. Do you understand?"
Everyone was nodding, with their mouths slightly open, looking intoxicated.
This time even the old man was fascinated by what he heard.
What was discussed before is not what they are good at, but when it comes to righteousness and profit, they are most familiar with it.
But they have never thought that righteousness and profit are closely linked. If one is lost, the other will no longer exist.
But if it is to defend your legitimate rights and interests, it seems to be in line with both Confucianism and Legalism.
They were unable to turn around for a moment.
Zhang Fei said: "Compared to the Legalists, when the granaries are full, people will know etiquette; when people have enough food and clothing, they will know honor and disgrace. The law of the legal system is to solve the above problems, that is, to protect the people's food and clothing.
Compared with the Confucianism of sacrificing one's life for justice, the law of the legal system solves the problem after the pursuit of justice. What is the purpose of pursuing justice? The answer given by the law of the legal system is that the purpose of sacrificing one's life for justice is to defend your interests. In other words, we will defend your legitimate rights and interests to the death.
After understanding this clearly, let's look at the question raised by Wang Xueshi. Is it really necessary to look at it? "
Zhang Fei smiled slightly: "I don't think it's necessary to look at it. Defending the legitimate rights and interests of individuals is the most basic thing. If you think even this is expensive, the result will be that the people may not have enough clothes to cover their bodies and have no food to eat. Then the only option is to rebel. Which of the two will cost more?"
“… … !”
"Um?"
"Rebellion is more costly."
"It should be like this. If the people's food and clothing cannot be protected, the result will be rebellion. The court can only suppress it. Then there will be more and more rebellions, and then... there will be nothing else."
Zhang Fei said: "Thus, throughout history, whether it was the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or our dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, they all adopted a policy of recuperation, that is, light taxes and levies, and encouraged agriculture and sericulture. When the people had clothes to wear and had enough food to eat, they would then seek prosperity and strength, which required reform.
As for the cost of government, I mentioned this before when I talked about the Qin Dynasty. The only way to save costs is wisdom. Shang Yang and Han Feizi thought too simply, so the cost of governance in the Qin Dynasty only seemed cheap, but it was actually very high.
If you are smarter, the loss will be less. If you are dumber, the loss will be higher. Take the equalization method as an example. This is the embodiment of wisdom. The previous tribute system was indeed very rigid. The equalization method can save a lot of money, but it also costs money. Putting aside the benefits and only talking about the losses is a bit too much. "
