These questions Tian Ya wants to ask.

Too difficult and too complicated.

Tian He has been impartial in the throne. Tian He has been immersed in internal struggles with his brothers and relatives for the past twenty years, but this does not mean that he has never thought about this problem.

Sometimes, the ruling class can always understand the objective truths of the world earlier than the ruling class, because they need to use them in reverse to maintain their rule.

The so-called dragon-slaying technique is the real essence of the slaughter of the dragon, rather than following the map. The cruel world after removing the false and silent warmth in rule is displayed, telling the world how the world works, and then finding contradictions from these objective principles to resolve all this.

The strength of a country, the rise and fall of a surname, the rise and fall of the world... There are too many explanations for all of this now.

Destiny.

Virtue.

Reincarnation.

God's wish.

Too many, especially in this era of change, when stars are shining, and when China is young, there are too many explanations for everything in the world.

However, in fact, Tian He did not believe in these things. He did not believe in destiny, did not believe in reincarnation, nor did he believe in virtue and practice the divine wishes. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to become the Duke of Qi who was about to abdicate.

Twenty years ago, Gongsunsun's death completely erupted internal conflicts in the Tian family, which had been suppressed for a long time.

Within twenty years, brothers were slaughtered and relatives fought each other. It was not that Tian He had thought about being Qi Huan and Jinwen, but Xiao Qiang's disaster could not be resolved. Even if he thought a lot, he was afraid he was powerless or unable to implement it.

Tian He didn't want to say too much to the debater, and some things were difficult for this debater to understand. He felt that maybe the group of people from the Mo family could understand, but those people were the biggest enemies in his eyes now.

The only son who has become a talent is missing. His mentality is no longer the king or the Duke of Qi, but just the sect leader of the Tian family, at least now.

Qi State is the Qi State of Tian’s family, and it is the private weapon of Tian’s family. How can you not take care of your own private property?

Under the feudal system, any monarch who wants to make a difference will inevitably be hostile to the nobles.

Tian He felt that he should tell Tian Shan about this truth, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. Tian Shan was the heir chosen by his brother. I think he must have received such education and understood how a monarch should face the nobles and the people.

Regarding the chaos in Qi at this time, Tian Shan asked questions in confusion, and even had plans and plans for the future of Qi.

But he could not talk to the debater.

If Tatsuya had the courage, he might be able to talk to Tatsuya, but now is not the time.

After a moment of silence, Tian He just smiled, bypassed the topic, and talked about the various details of the abdication.

After being stunned, the debater on the opposite side was so happy that he couldn't help himself. This was what the debater really wanted to talk about.

Tian He and the Mo family are considered to be haters, but now looking at the debater’s smile at the abdication, I can’t help but think of the popular words that Yu Xiang talked about for three days when she read them.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice."

It’s not that summer insects cannot talk about ice, but that summer insects will not care about the crystal clearness of ice and snow because there is no need.

Tian He felt that this debater was a summer insect.

But Tian Shan, he can't be a summer insect, but will he think he is a summer insect?

I still don’t know all this because Tian He never thought from the beginning that he would fail. If the people of Linzi were not organized by a third party, Tian He felt that he would not have failed. How could a young man fight against his experienced self?

If the victory of this coup is only based on Tian Ya's own means, Tian He feels that he doesn't need to say anything, Tian Ya will do a good job.

But because of this, Tian Shan had a panic and negotiated with Tian He to prevent the people from becoming bigger, so Tian He was still a little worried that Tian Shan had no idea of ​​governing this huge Qi State.

Tian He thought that Qi needs change, and Qi's reform must take a completely different path, a different path from Wei, Qin and Chu.

He had thought about this path but had no chance to implement it.

It’s not because there is no time, but because there is no Mo family who has helped such a great favor to wipe out the aristocratic forces south of the Great Wall.

If a country reforms, a country reforms. If there is any ideological system and academic system as support, it will be the smoothest and it will be a means to keep people from losing their power.

The reforms of the Wei State depended on the Legal Confucianism of the Xihe School and the academic thoughts derived from the Xihe School of Zixia.

The reform of Qin State relied on the merger of law and Mo, rebelled against Mo and understood the art of Mo and abandoned the meaning of Mo. Wu Qi entered Qin as a figure deeply influenced by the Xihe School, and with the idea of ​​Qi Min, a registered owner who guarded the city art of Mo, the reform took the path of centralization of power. The essence of the reform was the debate between Solu Chan and Mo in Handan: Is the only wealth appreciation for assistance? Or can industrial and commercial labor also increase wealth?

In the reform of Chu State, Wu Qi did not enter Chu in history, but the large number of nobles created by the Battle of Daliang City were killed and captured, and the aristocratic power was weakened. Cooperating with the Mohist infiltration into Chu State, this is not lasting because Chu State does not have a complete theoretical system.

Qi is different.

Tian He understood the difference between Qi and what Qi should and should not use.

The Tian family Qi State was innately deficient and could not use the benevolence, righteousness and etiquette of Confucian scholars because the Tian family was not in a proper position in place of Qi.

Therefore, Tian He respected Huangdi as Emperor Gaozu, and used the Battle of Banquan to defeat Emperor Yan's "destiny and reincarnation" to try to solve the legitimacy of the Tian family's dynasty.

The ancestors of the Tian family can be traced back to Huangdi, while the ancestors of Taigongwang of Jiang Qi's lineage can be traced back to Yandi.

This kind of reincarnation cannot be explained by the principles of the world now.

King Wu destroyed Yin and asked about the destiny of heaven. He was seriously ill and could not afford to be anxious, so he was given the ceremony of Duke Zhou.

The "destiny" that already exists in the world at this time cannot explain the legitimacy of the Tian family's destiny. Tian He and his staff and advisers have actually found a clue to this extremely difficult problem.

What Tian He thought was perfect.

Since destiny cannot be explained, what if destiny is in the cycle of reincarnation?

Now that those ancient emperors have become gods, myths have begun to spread among the people. Tian He wants to use Huangdi as Emperor Gaozu and use the Battle of Banquan to explain the Tian family's Qi Dynasty. Then some things can be explained clearly.

Virtue and destiny are reincarnation, and no dynasty can last forever, but it is in accordance with destiny for one family to replace another.

For example, when Huangdi defeated Yandi, later Shang Tang destroyed Xia, later King Wu defeated Zhou, and now Tian’s family destiny of Qi.

Tian He understood that the truth here is just the effect of "force", and the fate that fights against each other will eventually defeat the fate.

However, this principle cannot be promoted to the public like the Mohist school. In order to promote it, a ten-year "force-life" debate broke out with Yang Zhu and others.

The people cannot know, because once they know that the rule of the family will be difficult to maintain.

Therefore, Tian He felt that he needed to borrow the theory of "destiny and reincarnation" and comprehensively advocated the legitimacy of his generation: his generation of Qi is the same as Huangdi and Yan Emperor, it is just a cycle of reincarnation, and the future of China will never be able to transcend this cycle of reincarnation. This is the fate of the world.

Now that all this has been done, the people around him have already sorted out and have a theory that only needs to be repaired.

If the problem of legitimacy is solved, the remaining problems need to be found in history.

What is history?

For Tian He, history is the division of feudalism by King Wu, the combination of Qi and Dongyi, and the State of Lu strictly abides by etiquette, so Duke Zhou sighed that Lu would become a minister of Qi in the future.

History is the rule that Qi Huan's dominance. Guan Zhong's various reforms borrowed the benefits of fish and salt from Qi, as well as the legends left behind and the theory of Guan Zhong's rule of the country.

Qi has been the hegemony, has the foundation of a big country, and has enough experience to learn from. What Tian He needs is a complete theoretical system.

One supports his own coup to Qi, which is the battle between Huang Yan, and the other supports Qi to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

This system must be based on Huangdi's learning, because Tian pursued Huangdi as Emperor Gaozu, and Huangdi had many studies. Could it be that he would not learn from Emperor Gaozu but learn from other schools?

This system must integrate the study of Huangdi with the various rich and strong military forces in the history of Qi. It can be justified and can be practiced.

A rich country and a strong army are divided into a rich country and a strong army.

The Mohist school naturally had the book "The Rich Country", which explained the origin and generation of wealth in the world. It sounded like a reason, but when you think about it carefully, it was actually a manifesto of seizing power for the common people, industry and commerce.

Because according to the theory of the Mohist book "The Rich Country", wealth comes from labor, so it is unreasonable to have the existence of aristocrats who do not grow up without harvesting and gaining 300 grains.

For Tian He, the matter of enriching the country naturally needs to make the people rich in macroscopic areas, but the key at the microscopic areas is how to collect taxes, how to throttling money, and how to enrich the treasury.

This question was discussed during the Qi Huan era. Qi Huan asked Guan Zhong how to be prosperous, and Guan Zhong answered a very interesting sentence.

Therefore, renting a book is what the king is suitable for obtaining; correct book is what the king is forced to seek. The king abandons what the king is suitable for obtaining and restrains what he is forced to seek, so the lower part resents the superiors and orders them not to follow. The people, if they take it, they will be angry, and if they give it, they will be happy. The people's sentiments are certain. The previous kings knew it, so they saw what they did, but did not see the reason for taking it.

In other words, normal rent taxes, such as taxes originally set, are accepted by the people. Taxes are collected according to the rules, and the people are accustomed to them.

However, abnormal special taxes, such as the special war taxes such as the Qiujiafu in Lu State, are opposed by the people and are forced.

The kings who lost their country generally gave up normal rent and taxes, but forced special taxes to be imposed, which led to public grievances - this is actually not what Guan Zhong said, but a theory that Guan Zhong had developed by the scholars of Qi State.

When asked, Guan Zhong believed that the people, they would be angry if they took away their things; they would be happy if they gave them things. This is a natural truth.

Therefore, when the previous kings gave the people a lot of fanfare, they should pay attention to means and strategies when snatching them from the people, so that the people cannot see it, and even voluntarily do it.
