145. Chapter 145 Penal Code for Borrowing Food (Four Thousand Three)(3/3)
Feng Yun nodded.
"You can see it."
This was Feng Yun's blunt apology, but it did give the two of them room to relax.
"Will Mr. Tong lend us food?"
Zou Yan saw that Lord Tong was also a person with ideas, not a monarch who only listened to his subordinates.
Feng Yun smiled and said: "Yes."
Feng Yun picked up the criminal code and looked at it carefully.
Guan Zhong also came in at this time.
"Feng Junan."
Guan Zhong lowered his head and looked around.
Seeing the neatly packed books and seeing Feng Yunzhi in the palace, I couldn't help but be envious and marveled at the fact that Feng Yun's reputation had attracted so much respect from Tong State that he slept in such an important place as the Palace of Classical Books of a Country.
This is a great respect for the literati.
"Yan, go and show him Gaotao's punishment."
Feng Yun did not want to personally teach Guan Zhong about Gao Tao's punishment. He only wanted him to see it for himself and understand Gao Tao's great virtue.
Although Feng Yun is not optimistic about the virtues in Gao Tao's punishment - he is too kind and virtuous, but forgets the viciousness of people, and mostly gives small punishments, so that the wicked are punished less, which breeds disgust and no longer has virtue.
Virtue, good deeds are bullied by evil, there are many unjust, false and wrong cases, crimes are not punished...
But those three very strong ideas can neutralize Guan Zhong's rule of law - putting profit first, and neutralizing the shortcomings.
First, it emphasizes the combination of virtue and law, the application of benevolent laws, and the human kindness outside the law.
Second, it emphasizes people-oriented thinking, that is, attaching importance to the people, loving the people, benefiting the people, paying attention to people's livelihood, and listening to public opinions.
Third, the administration of justice is fair and equal to both the king and the people.
"I hope you can understand something."
Guan Zhong took Gaotao's punishment from Zou Yan and was shocked after seeing it.
"Is this the punishment of Saint Gaotao?"
Feng Yun nodded. He said that if he found a sage teacher for Guan Zhong, he would do it naturally.
"With Mr. Tong's approval, you can watch it."
"Your rule of law, combined with punishment, can combine hardness and softness and achieve its perfection."
Guan Zhong's rule of law was too rigid, so Feng Yun thought of using soft punishment to neutralize it.
Although today's punishments according to Zhou rites are also gentle, they are gentle to the scholar-official class, and scholar-officials are only one of the four people classified by Guan Zhong.
Then why don’t we just ignore the other three people?
Therefore, Feng Yun had this intention.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Feng. Guan Zhong cannot repay Mr. Feng for his kindness in guiding us."
Feng Yun shook his head.
"I gave you Gaotao's punishment not to seek retribution. I just hope that you can prosper a country and add a bright future to the prosperity of the human race."
Guan Zhong was shocked when he heard this.
"For the human race?"
He respected and said: "Fengjun is not limited to one country, but sees the prosperity of the human race, so Guan Zhong worships him."
Feng Yun heard this.
Shake his head.
"Let's go read a book..."
"promise."
