--> 00:00:07,266 Duke Qin is dead 5 00:00:08,533 --> 00:00:10,366 The moment the news reached Shang Yang's ears 6 00:00:10,766 --> 00:00:12,433 He is trading on the fief 7 00:00:12,433 --> 00:00:15,366 Distance from the legal empire of Qin that he personally built 8 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,133 Hundreds of miles 9 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,400 It's not that he doesn't know the danger 10 00:00:18,366 --> 00:00:19,766 Qin Xiaogong died 11 00:00:19,766 --> 00:00:21,866 Gongji and his gang will fight back 12 00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:22,666 This 13 00:00:22,666 --> 00:00:23,800 With Shang Yang's intelligence 14 00:00:23,833 --> 00:00:25,566 He knows better than anyone 15 00:00:26,433 --> 00:00:27,966 He has been reforming for nearly 20 years 16 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,733

who have privileged opportunities 23 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,200 Duke Qin is here 24 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,533 These people are afraid to move 25 00:00:43,566 --> 00:00:44,766 As soon as Duke Qin left 26 00:00:44,766 --> 00:00:48,033 How quickly will the hatred that has been accumulated for nearly two decades fight back? 27 00:00:48,066 --> 00:00:49,100 You don't have to predict. 28 00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:50,700 He tried to flee to Wei 29 00:00:51,466 --> 00:00:52,466 Wei did not accept him 30 00:00:53,466 --> 00:00:54,466 to the effect that 31 00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,533 This person used to deceive our general. 32 00:00:57,566 --> 00:00:59,166 Hatred against Wei 33 00:00:59,166 --> 00:01:00,466 If you take it, he will lead the wolf into the house 34 00:01:01,400 -->

resistance there 38 00:01:08,566 --> 00:01:09,866 Qin's army caught up 39 00:01:10,833 --> 00:01:11,700 And finally. 40 00:01:11,733 --> 00:01:12,833 Shang Yang was shown by a car crack 41 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,566 So-called car crack 42 00:01:14,566 --> 00:01:16,800 Is to take a person's limbs and head 43 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,800 Tied to five carriages 44 00:01:18,800 -->

00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,833 No one is complaining for him 48 00:01:26,866 --> 00:01:27,900 It was cheers. 49 00:01:28,866 --> 00:01:31,500 The history books leave a chilling record 50 00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:32,233 Qin people have no pity 51 00:01:32,966 --> 00:01:34,133 The people of Qin 52 00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:36,566 Those he freed from slavery with his own hands 53 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,033 Gave the ascending channel 54 00:01:38,066 --> 00:01:40,733 Ordinary people who can trade their military merits for land 55 00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:41,766 No one pitied him 56 00:01:42,766 --> 00:01:44,133 This is what Shang Yang's death is all about 57 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,033 He spent nearly 20 years 58 00:01:46,166 --> 00:01:48,100 Installed a new operating system for Qin Guo 59 00:01:48,433 --> 00:01:50,633 Completely rewrote the underlying logic of this country 60 00:01:51,433 --> 00:01:52,900 And he gets thrown out of the system. 61 00:01:53,566 --> 00:01:55,233 Killed by his own rules 62 00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:58,333 Died under the wheels of the state machine he made with his own hands 63 00:01:59,366 --> 00:02:00,000 Hello, everybody. 64 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,066

fundamental reform at the institutional level in Chinese history 68 00:02:08,233 --> 00:02:09,433 A reformer like no other 69 00:02:09,766 --> 00:02:10,300 Shang Yang 70 00:02:10,466 --> 00:02:10,933 His story 71 00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,100 And two consecutive chapters in the silk version of the Tao Te Ching 72 00:02:14,366 --> 00:02:15,533 Precisely collided 73 00:02:16,233 --> 00:02:17,833 One chapter is the silk book, chapter 62. 74 00:02:18,266 --> 00:02:19,400 Handed down Chapter 18 75 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,433 One chapter is the silk book, chapter 63. 76 00:02:21,733 --> 00:02:22,833 Handed down Chapter 19 77 00:02:23,466 --> 00:02:24,633 These two chapters are added together 78 00:02:25,033 --> 00:02:27,600 It reads like a verdict that Lao Tzu wrote specially for Shang Yang 79 00:02:28,166 --> 00:02:29,833 And the prescription that follows the verdict 80 00:02:30,666 --> 00:02:31,133 only 81 00:02:31,366 --> 00:02:33,100 Shang Yang has never read these two chapters 82 00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:34,566 First read the original silk book 83 00:02:34,566 --> 00:02:35,666 First read the original silk book, Chapter 62 of the original silk book, the old road is abandoned 84 00:02:36,033 --> 00:02:36,700 The old road is abandoned 85 00:02:37,066 --> 00:02:37,833 An You Benevolence and Righteousness 86 00:02:38,233 --> 00:02:38,933 Zhihui out 87 00:02:39,133

00:02:44,400 An You Zhengchen 92 00:02:44,833 --> 00:02:45,700 re-contrast the handed down version 93 00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:46,900 road waste 94 00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:47,500 benevolence and righteousness 95 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,933 Wisdom out 96 00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:49,566 There is a big fake 97 00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:51,000 Six relatives discord 98 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,500 Youxiao Ci 99 00:02:52,166 --> 00:02:53,200 National confusion 100 00:02:53,233 --> 00:02:53,966 There are loyal ministers 101 00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:55,366 One word difference 102 00:02:55,366 --> 00:02:56,200 Worlds of difference 103 00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:57,833 Pay attention to this word An 104 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,000 The silk book version is An Yourenyi 105 00:03:00,033 --> 00:03:01,633 The handed down version is benevolent and righteous 106 00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:02,600 benevolence and righteousness 107 00:03:02,633 --> 00:03:03,500 Meaning 108 00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:04,433 The road is wasted 109 00:03:04,433 --> 00:03:05,366 And there was righteousness. 110 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,333 It's a statement. 111 00:03:07,366 --> 00:03:08,600 And that's what happens. 112 00:03:09,533 --> 00:03:10,433 An You Benevolence and Righteousness 113 00:03:10,433 --> 00:03:11,266 Meaning 114 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:12,400 The road is wasted 115 00:03:12,433 --> 00:03:13,833 Where can there be any benevolence and righteousness? 116 00:03:14,533 --> 00:03:15,700 It's a rhetorical question. 117 00:03:15,733 --> 00:03:17,433 With an almost ironic force 118 00:03:18,033 --> 00:03:19,300 The benevolence and righteousness you mentioned 119 00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:21,700 It is proof that the Great Dao is dead 120 00:03:21,733 --> 00:03:24,833 You're taking the autopsy report and prescribing it as a life-saving medicine 121 00:03:24,833 --> 00:03:26,200 Are you kidding me? 122 00:03:26,766 --> 00:03:27,833 The difference between words 123 00:03:27,866 --> 00:03:29,466 Determines the nature of the entire chapter 124 00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,233 The logic that has been handed down is linear 125 00:03:32,266 --> 00:03:32,933 road waste 126 00:03:32,966 --> 00:03:34,300 Benevolence and righteousness appear 127 00:03:34,333 --> 00:03:35,366 causal order 128 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,500 Sounds like a kind remedy. 129 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,633 The logic of the silk edition is deconstructive 130 00:03:40,633 --> 00:03:41,666 The road is wasted 131 00:03:41,666 --> 00:03:46,300 Your so-called labels of benevolence and righteousness, great hypocrisy, filial piety and loyalty 132 00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:48,900 It's all weeds growing from the ruins 133 00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:50,000 Not a remedy 134 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:50,433 Is a symptom 135 00:03:51,633 --> 00:03:53,133 You're the one using the symptoms as a prescription. 136 00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:55,133 There's another difference. 137 00:03:55,133 --> 00:03:57,000 The silk book version is Xiaozi 138 00:03:57,033 --> 00:03:58,133 The handed down version is Xiaoci 139 00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:00,533 This is a pass for the word compassion. 140 00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:02,433 The glyphs are different but the meanings are close 141 00:04:02,466 --> 00:04:03,500 Don't expand here 142 00:04:03,533 --> 00:04:04,666 The focus is on the word An 143 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,300 Silk Book Chapter 63 144 00:04:07,533 --> 00:04:09,766 Handed down, Chapter 19, the original silk book 145 00:04:10,033 --> 00:04:14,400 Never know to give up arguing, the people benefit a hundred times, never forsake hypocrisy, and the people return to filial piety 146 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,866 It is a coincidence to give up profits, thieves have nothing, these three words are also 147 00:04:18,033 --> 00:04:20,766 I thought the text was not sufficient, so I made it belong 148 00:04:21,166 --> 00:04:24,333 See plain and simple, less selfish and few desires, no worries about learning 149 00:04:24,633 --> 00:04:26,533 Handed down version, no saint and no wisdom 150 00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:27,500 Min Li 100 times 151 00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:29,166 renunciation of righteousness 152 00:04:29,266 --> 00:04:30,166 Minfu Xiaoci 153 00:04:30,866 --> 00:04:31,800 coincidence 154 00:04:32,033 --> 00:04:32,666 Thieves have none 155 00:04:33,533 --> 00:04:35,033 These three are considered insufficient 156 00:04:35,433 --> 00:04:36,533 So it belongs 157 00:04:36,733 --> 00:04:37,833 See Su Baopu 158 00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:38,933 less selfish 159 00:04:38,966 --> 00:04:40,000 Unique worry-free 160 00:04:40,666 --> 00:04:41,666 There's a big difference here. 161 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,000 The handed down version is, Abandon Sage and Abandon Wisdom 162 00:04:44,333 --> 00:04:45,733 The silk book version is, absolutely know to abandon debate 163 00:04:46,666 --> 00:04:47,600 Abandon wisdom 164 00:04:47,766 --> 00:04:50,700 Lost are the two names and labels of saint and wisdom 165 00:04:51,033 --> 00:04:52,833 That sounds like a moral exercise. 166 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,533 It's for you not to pursue that saint's reputation 167 00:04:56,133 --> 00:04:56,933 Never know to abandon the argument 168 00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:58,700 What is lost is knowledge and debate 169 00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,833 know 170 00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:02,600 It's clever calculation and intellectual strategy 171 00:05:02,833 --> 00:05:03,233 debate 172 00:05:03,233 --> 00:05:06,966 It's sophistry, eloquence, manipulating public opinion with words 173 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:08,900 This is not moral training. 174 00:05:09,366 --> 00:05:10,933 It's a knife in the operating procedure 175 00:05:11,166 --> 00:05:13,733 Put that governance system driven by strategy and debate 176 00:05:14,033 --> 00:05:14,666 Just turn it off. 177 00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:17,200 The handed down version of renunciation of righteousness 178 00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:19,300 The silk book version has become a forgiveness 179 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,133 It is not benevolence itself that is thrown away. 180 00:05:21,133 --> 00:05:22,266 But fake 181 00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:23,433 False performance 182 00:05:23,466 --> 00:05:24,200 and consider 183 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,700 Excessive calculation and calculation 184 00:05:26,566 --> 00:05:27,466 This is more accurate 185 00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:30,933 I'm not saying that there is a problem with benevolence itself 186 00:05:30,966 --> 00:05:31,733 What's he saying? 187 00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:33,533 When kindness becomes performance 188 00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:35,366 When caring becomes calculating 189 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,966 When every act of kindness has a strategic purpose behind it 190 00:05:38,966 --> 00:05:41,433 That righteousness itself has become hypocrisy and concern 191 00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:43,666 The two chapters are combined 192 00:05:43,666 --> 00:05:47,700 This is a complete set of diagnoses: Chapter 62 is the confirmation letter 193 00:05:47,733 --> 00:05:50,100 Those social labels you see now 194 00:05:50,133 --> 00:05:52,633 Benevolence, filial piety, loyalty 195 00:05:52,633 --> 00:05:54,933 It's all symptoms that the avenue has been corrupted 196 00:05:54,933 --> 00:05:55,833 It's not a cure. 197 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,666 Chapter 63 is a prescription 198 00:05:58,666 --> 00:05:59,833 How to treat 199 00:05:59,866 --> 00:06:01,533 Lose knowledge and defense 200 00:06:01,566 --> 00:06:03,466 Throw away hypocrisy and overthinking 201 00:06:03,466 --> 00:06:06,133 Throw away the practice of packaging benefits as principles 202 00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:07,666 See Su Baopu 203 00:06:07,666 --> 00:06:08,266 less selfish 204 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,900 Now put these two chapters together 205 00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:11,900 Posted on Shang Yang's life 206 00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:13,000 You will find 207 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,100 The degree of fit is so high that it makes people's back cold 208 00:06:15,933 --> 00:06:18,833 Shang Yang and the precise collision of these two chapters 209 00:06:18,866 --> 00:06:20,100 An You Benevolence and Righteousness 210 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:22,500 What did Shang Yang do in 356 BC? 211 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:23,533 Shang Yang's first reform 212 00:06:24,233 --> 00:06:25,366 The first thing he did 213 00:06:25,466 --> 00:06:26,766 It's not a decree. 214 00:06:26,766 --> 00:06:27,766 He stood a log. 215 00:06:28,666 --> 00:06:29,333 Chengnan 216 00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:31,100 A three-foot-tall log 217 00:06:31,133 --> 00:06:32,633 There was a sign next to it. 218 00:06:32,666 --> 00:06:34,733 Who can move this log to the north of the city? 219 00:06:34,733 --> 00:06:35,200 Reward ten gold 220 00:06:35,933 --> 00:06:36,366 No one believed 221 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,266 He raised the bounty to fifty gold 222 00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:41,166 Someone moved it with skepticism 223 00:06:41,166 --> 00:06:42,633 Shang Yang cashed in on the spot 224 00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:43,233 Gave fifty gold 225 00:06:44,066 --> 00:06:46,066 This story is called Limu Jianxin. 226 00:06:46,066 --> 00:06:49,233 It's a classic example that all history textbooks mention 227 00:06:49,266 --> 00:06:50,500 Interpretation is usually 228 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,600 Shang Yang is using his actions to build government credibility 229 00:06:53,633 --> 00:06:56,100 Once the display decree is promulgated, it will be strictly enforced 230 00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:56,700 No discount 231 00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,600 From the logic of a humane operating system 232 00:06:59,633 --> 00:07:00,733 This analysis is absolutely correct 233 00:07:01,633 --> 00:07:03,333 But from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao 234 00:07:03,366 --> 00:07:05,800 This incident reveals a deeper problem 235 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,766 A society 236 00:07:06,766 --> 00:07:10,266 Why do you need to use 50 gold to move wood to prove that the government is worthy? 237 00:07:10,933 --> 00:07:11,733 because 238 00:07:11,733 --> 00:07:12,900 Silk book original words 239 00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:13,833 lack of trust 240 00:07:13,866 --> 00:07:14,800 Do you believe it? 241 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,066 This is the original text of Chapter 61 of the Silk Book 242 00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,100 Handed down Chapter 17 243 00:07:18,966 --> 00:07:21,400 The integrity of the government has been seriously overdrawn 244 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,900 It's performance art that's needed to rebuild trust. 245 00:07:24,833 --> 00:07:25,700 Here are the symptoms. 246 00:07:25,733 --> 00:07:26,633 Not the reason 247 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Shang Yang recognized the symptoms 248 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,500 And then he used more powerful means to strengthen the trust mechanism 249 00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:33,233 decree 250 00:07:33,266 --> 00:07:34,766 A stifling law. 251 00:07:35,766 --> 00:07:36,966 What is the magnitude of his decree? 252 00:07:37,966 --> 00:07:38,466 joint sitting system 253 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,700 A family broke the law 254 00:07:40,733 --> 00:07:42,800 All neighbors are sitting together 255 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,966 whistleblower reward 256 00:07:43,966 --> 00:07:44,766 Shelter is guilty 257 00:07:45,566 --> 00:07:46,300 Severe punishment for misdemeanors 258 00:07:47,466 --> 00:07:49,466 Leaving trash on the street 259 00:07:49,466 --> 00:07:51,233 It was called discarding ashes on the road 260 00:07:51,233 --> 00:07:52,933 Direct tattooing 261 00:07:52,966 --> 00:07:54,166 That's tattooing on the face 262 00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:56,033 Nobles are no exception 263 00:07:56,933 --> 00:07:58,066 Prince breaks the law 264 00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:00,233 He cannot directly punish the prince 265 00:08:00,266 --> 00:08:02,133 Because the prince will be the monarch in the future 266 00:08:02,133 --> 00:08:05,600 So he cut off the nose of the prince's teacher 267 00:08:06,033 --> 00:08:08,700 He stabbed another teacher, Gong Sun Jia, in the face 268 00:08:08,866 --> 00:08:09,700 It's called tattooing. 269 00:08:10,266 --> 00:08:13,533 This is Shang Yang's response to Chapter 62 of the Silk Book 270 00:08:13,566 --> 00:08:15,300 Except his response was the other way around. 271 00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:17,900 Lao Tzu's diagnosis is 272 00:08:17,933 --> 00:08:19,566 Once the avenue disappears 273 00:08:19,566 --> 00:08:24,400 Benevolence, righteousness, law, loyalty, these things will come in the form of labels 274 00:08:24,433 --> 00:08:25,733 But they are symptoms 275 00:08:25,766 --> 00:08:26,133 Not medicine 276 00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:28,466 Shang Yang's operation is 277 00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:30,100 The avenue is indeed gone. 278 00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,333 Then I'll replace it with law 279 00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:35,000 Force order with tighter rules 280 00:08:35,966 --> 00:08:37,600 He sees symptoms as solutions 281 00:08:38,566 --> 00:08:40,300 He saw the discord between the six relatives 282 00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:41,633 Anyu Takashi 283 00:08:41,633 --> 00:08:43,833 So he forced the family to divide into households 284 00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:45,933 Father, son and brother must separate as adults 285 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,900 Otherwise double the tax 286 00:08:47,933 --> 00:08:51,933 To be precise, there are more than two adult men in the family but they are not separated 287 00:08:51,933 --> 00:08:52,733 Double the tax 288 00:08:53,766 --> 00:08:55,800 He's not repairing family relationships 289 00:08:55,833 --> 00:08:58,066 He's breaking up the family unit. 290 00:08:58,066 --> 00:09:00,566 Become manageable atomized individuals 291 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,566 Hanging on the gears of the state machine 292 00:09:02,566 --> 00:09:03,666 Everyone does their job 293 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:05,500 His righteousness 294 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,000 It's calculated. 295 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000 His laws 296 00:09:08,033 --> 00:09:09,266 It's instrumental. 297 00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:10,366 His fairness 298 00:09:10,366 --> 00:09:12,133 It is to serve the Qin State to win the war 299 00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:15,300 This is exactly what Chapter 62 of the Silk Book says. 300 00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:16,233 Zhihui out 301 00:09:16,233 --> 00:09:16,933 An Youda Wai 302 00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:18,800 Smart people come out 303 00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:20,600 Sophisticated calculations appear 304 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,200 So the big fake comes along. 305 00:09:22,233 --> 00:09:23,966 Not a crude lie 306 00:09:23,966 --> 00:09:26,200 It's the kind of logic that is consistent and high-sounding 307 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,833 Systemic hypocrisy, by the way. 308 00:09:29,733 --> 00:09:32,033 The whole legal system constructed by Shang Yang 309 00:09:32,066 --> 00:09:33,666 Flawless in theory 310 00:09:33,666 --> 00:09:34,766 reward and punishment 311 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,900 Merit in farming 312 00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:37,133 Birth no longer determines destiny 313 00:09:38,066 --> 00:09:39,066 This set of principles 314 00:09:39,066 --> 00:09:39,800 It really makes sense 315 00:09:40,833 --> 00:09:43,000 But the ultimate goal of this truth service 316 00:09:43,033 --> 00:09:46,033 It is to make Qin's war machine run more efficiently 317 00:09:46,533 --> 00:09:47,933 Rather than making people live more like people 318 00:09:48,966 --> 00:09:52,366 When the ultimate goal of a system is not human life itself 319 00:09:52,366 --> 00:09:55,500 It's about turning people into tools for achieving something bigger. 320 00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:56,600 Then how precise it is 321 00:09:56,633 --> 00:09:57,833 It's also what Lao Tzu said about the big fake 322 00:09:58,166 --> 00:09:59,300 Never know to abandon the argument 323 00:09:59,333 --> 00:10:00,666 Min Li 100 times 324 00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:03,566 What did Shang Yang do? The beginning of Chapter 63 of the Silk Book 325 00:10:03,566 --> 00:10:04,933 Never know to abandon the argument 326 00:10:04,966 --> 00:10:06,233 It's a precise scalpel. 327 00:10:07,233 --> 00:10:07,766 know 328 00:10:07,766 --> 00:10:08,900 Clever knowledge and strategy 329 00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:10,466 debate 330 00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,733 The ability to manipulate order with words 331 00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:15,833 Lao Tzu means 332 00:10:15,866 --> 00:10:18,333 When governance relies on increasingly sophisticated strategies 333 00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:20,333 And increasingly strict language norms 334 00:10:20,366 --> 00:10:21,866 This set of governance itself is already sick 335 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,133 Shang Yang is precisely a master of both knowledge and debate 336 00:10:26,033 --> 00:10:28,133 He made his debut in front of Duke Xiao of Qin 337 00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:29,700 Three sets of plans were mentioned 338 00:10:29,733 --> 00:10:31,466 Emperor, king, domineering 339 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,400 The first two sets 340 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,600 Xiaogong listens to drowsy 341 00:10:35,466 --> 00:10:36,933 The third set of domineering 342 00:10:36,933 --> 00:10:38,666 The duke was immediately refreshed 343 00:10:38,666 --> 00:10:40,033 Language days never tire 344 00:10:40,066 --> 00:10:41,666 After chatting for several days, I still can't get enough of it. 345 00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,733 Shang Yang knew very well what Xiaogong wanted 346 00:10:44,766 --> 00:10:46,033 Not self-cultivation 347 00:10:46,133 --> 00:10:47,766 Not a century of Dehua 348 00:10:47,766 --> 00:10:48,666 Is now 349 00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:49,933 It's this generation. 350 00:10:49,966 --> 00:10:53,100 It is to see the situation in which Qin State overwhelms the six countries in his lifetime 351 00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:58,233 So he broke down the concept of Tao into a number of actionable technical means 352 00:10:58,266 --> 00:11:00,500 Replaced the position of Tao with a spell potential 353 00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,333 Built a sophisticated human management system 354 00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:04,666 This is the ultimate use of knowledge 355 00:11:05,733 --> 00:11:06,366 And what about his argument? 356 00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:08,900 At the beginning of the reform 357 00:11:08,933 --> 00:11:09,933 There was a lot of opposition. 358 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Gan Long, Du Zhi and other conservatives argued vigorously in court 359 00:11:14,833 --> 00:11:16,133 Zufa can't move 360 00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:17,500 The way of the king cannot be violated 361 00:11:18,166 --> 00:11:20,666 Shang Yang's rebuttal is textbook 362 00:11:20,666 --> 00:11:21,900 Different religions in previous lives 363 00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:22,900 How ancient 364 00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:24,033 Emperors never meet 365 00:11:24,066 --> 00:11:25,333 He Lizhisun 366 00:11:25,333 --> 00:11:28,066 The Holy Kings of each era have different rules 367 00:11:28,066 --> 00:11:30,300 There is no ancient law that must be followed 368 00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:30,766 change 369 00:11:30,766 --> 00:11:31,366 Is correct 370 00:11:32,133 --> 00:11:33,033 What he said 371 00:11:33,033 --> 00:11:34,066 Does that make sense? 372 00:11:34,066 --> 00:11:34,633 Yes. 373 00:11:34,733 --> 00:11:35,633 Logic holds 374 00:11:36,266 --> 00:11:36,633 But what did he do with that logic? 375 00:11:36,633 --> 00:11:38,066 He won the argument by arguing. 376 00:11:38,066 --> 00:11:40,800 Then remove all the resistance to the reform 377 00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:43,666 Allow your will to be enforced by decree 378 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,233 We won the argument. 379 00:11:45,233 --> 00:11:46,166 I know victory 380 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:46,566 And? 381 00:11:46,966 --> 00:11:49,300 The second half of Chapter 63 of the Silk Book says 382 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:50,633 Abandon falsehood 383 00:11:50,633 --> 00:11:51,700 Min Fu Takashi 384 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,066 Throw away false performances and excessive planning 385 00:11:55,066 --> 00:11:57,300 The common people will naturally return to their true filial piety and compassion 386 00:11:58,300 --> 00:11:59,833 Shang Yang did the opposite 387 00:11:59,866 --> 00:12:01,266 He takes more care 388 00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:02,766 More sophisticated calculations 389 00:12:02,766 --> 00:12:04,300 Stricter laws 390 00:12:04,333 --> 00:12:06,333 More detailed reward and punishment provisions 391 00:12:06,333 --> 00:12:07,733 To enforce human behavior 392 00:12:08,633 --> 00:12:11,066 He doesn't trust that people will naturally return to simplicity 393 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:11,933 He only trusts the rules. 394 00:12:12,933 --> 00:12:13,833 The result is 395 00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:16,433 The people of Qin did become richer 396 00:12:16,466 --> 00:12:18,600 The military did get stronger. 397 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,800 The land did expand 398 00:12:20,833 --> 00:12:21,800 But that Hyoz 399 00:12:22,166 --> 00:12:26,100 The emotional bonds that naturally grow between simple people 400 00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,166 Under the atomized family division and the ubiquitous system of joint sitting 401 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,866 It's drying up. 402 00:12:31,866 --> 00:12:34,233 Neighbors have to tell each other 403 00:12:34,266 --> 00:12:35,000 Otherwise same crime 404 00:12:35,933 --> 00:12:37,166 Father and son separation 405 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,100 Otherwise double tax 406 00:12:39,033 --> 00:12:40,266 How filial do you make people? 407 00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:40,733 How kind 408 00:12:41,633 --> 00:12:46,033 He forcibly replaced what naturally grows in the human heart with ingenuity and order 409 00:12:46,033 --> 00:12:48,066 And he got confused. 410 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,833 Why do thieves still have 411 00:12:49,833 --> 00:12:51,833 His laws are already so strict 412 00:12:51,833 --> 00:12:54,366 Why is order based on fear rather than fear? 413 00:12:54,366 --> 00:12:55,800 The true sense of belonging is maintained 414 00:12:56,866 --> 00:12:58,266 The silk book has already answered 415 00:12:58,300 --> 00:12:59,433 coincidence 416 00:12:59,433 --> 00:13:00,000 Thieves have none 417 00:13:00,966 --> 00:13:03,400 No, tougher laws make thieves disappear. 418 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,200 It's about getting rid of the profit-driven logic of social design. 419 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,466 Thieves will really decrease 420 00:13:09,533 --> 00:13:10,900 Shang Yang's complete system 421 00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:12,800 Driven by profit from start to finish 422 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,933 Those who have merit benefit 423 00:13:13,966 --> 00:13:15,366 Offender loses 424 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,866 Rewards and punishments are all based on profits 425 00:13:17,766 --> 00:13:20,333 He trained everyone to be in the interest coordinate system 426 00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:21,900 Rational people with precise calculations 427 00:13:21,966 --> 00:13:23,300 And he was very strange. 428 00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:26,633 Why do these people choose to take risks when the benefits are big enough? 429 00:13:27,366 --> 00:13:29,266 Because he uses profit to drive everything 430 00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:30,200 Didn't realize it 431 00:13:30,233 --> 00:13:33,300 When the stakes are high enough and the probability of being caught is low enough 432 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:36,600 This intricately calculated system will push people into danger 433 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,033 This is not a system failure. 434 00:13:38,033 --> 00:13:39,766 This is the perfect operation of the system. 435 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:40,966 It's just the other way around. 436 00:13:41,133 --> 00:13:42,666 Trial Moment Level 1 437 00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:46,100 Evaluation of Shang Yang on the Coordinate System of Humanity Trial 438 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:47,766 Dynasties and dynasties have been highly controversial 439 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,700 Never reached a consensus 440 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,466 Supporters say 441 00:13:50,466 --> 00:13:53,233 Shang Yang was the most successful reformer in Chinese history 442 00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:54,433 No Shang Yang Reform 443 00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:56,266 There is no Qin state to unify the six kingdoms 444 00:13:56,266 --> 00:13:58,866 There would be no first unified empire in China 445 00:13:58,866 --> 00:14:00,366 The course of history will be completely rewritten 446 00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:02,433 He was a doer. 447 00:14:02,466 --> 00:14:03,733 People who have made great contributions to history 448 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,733 Opponents say 449 00:14:05,766 --> 00:14:07,000 He was mean. 450 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,366 Using severe punishment to turn people into parts of a war machine 451 00:14:10,366 --> 00:14:11,800 He betrayed his word. 452 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800 In his early years, he defected to Wei Xiang Gongshu 453 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,233 Leave privately 454 00:14:15,266 --> 00:14:16,933 He has a bad mind 455 00:14:16,933 --> 00:14:19,733 Capture General Young Master Wei by deception in exchange for military merit 456 00:14:20,633 --> 00:14:22,766 Sima Qian wrote his biography in the historical records 457 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,333 Finally added a sentence 458 00:14:24,366 --> 00:14:26,100 The tone is almost contemptuous 459 00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:26,866 Shang Jun 460 00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:28,133 Its talented and mean people 461 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,666 In a humane coordinate system 462 00:14:30,666 --> 00:14:33,000 Shang Yang's trial will always be a tug of war 463 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,833 Because humanity measures a person 464 00:14:34,866 --> 00:14:39,533 It's about merit versus means, motivation versus outcome. 465 00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:41,266 And this weight is different for everyone. 466 00:14:42,133 --> 00:14:43,666 Therefore, humanity towards Shang Yang 467 00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:44,600 No final judgment 468 00:14:45,033 --> 00:14:46,833 But in the coordinate system of the Heavenly Dao 469 00:14:46,866 --> 00:14:48,266 The verdict has been written 470 00:14:48,266 --> 00:14:49,366 Written in silk books 471 00:14:49,366 --> 00:14:50,533 Written in the end of history 472 00:14:51,533 --> 00:14:52,266 second floor 473 00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,400 Heavenly Judgment Heavenly Judgment 474 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,333 Not in the evaluation of history books 475 00:14:56,366 --> 00:14:57,600 In the way Shang Yang died 476 00:14:58,266 --> 00:15:00,466 Chapter 62 of the Silk Book begins by saying 477 00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:01,566 The old road is abandoned 478 00:15:01,566 --> 00:15:02,200 An You Benevolence and Righteousness 479 00:15:02,933 --> 00:15:04,266 Pay attention to this word 480 00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:05,033 So 481 00:15:05,033 --> 00:15:05,466 Therefore 482 00:15:06,366 --> 00:15:07,766 It's a statement with a premise. 483 00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:09,700 The previous chapter 484 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,200 Silk Book Chapter 61 485 00:15:11,233 --> 00:15:13,000 Handed down Chapter 17 486 00:15:13,033 --> 00:15:15,433 What is the highest state of governance? 487 00:15:15,433 --> 00:15:16,133 Taishang 488 00:15:16,133 --> 00:15:17,633 Know it below 489 00:15:17,633 --> 00:15:18,766 The best monarch 490 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,600 The people only know that he exists 491 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,600 That was all. 492 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,800 Everything works naturally 493 00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:24,866 The old road is abandoned 494 00:15:24,866 --> 00:15:27,933 It's because this natural state of operation collapses 495 00:15:27,966 --> 00:15:29,866 Therefore, righteousness and righteousness 496 00:15:30,033 --> 00:15:32,700 Loyal minister these concepts will emerge like weeds 497 00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:35,533 Shang Yang's Entire Reform Project 498 00:15:35,533 --> 00:15:38,300 It is an accurate confirmation and deepening of the waste state of the highway 499 00:15:39,333 --> 00:15:41,766 He saw the collapse of the ritual music system in the Zhou Dynasty 500 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,866 Saw the ineffectiveness of the old order 501 00:15:43,866 --> 00:15:45,466 Then his choice is 502 00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,200 Use more artificial and precise 503 00:15:47,766 --> 00:15:50,666 More mandatory systems to replace outdated systems that have failed 504 00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:52,833 He didn't go in the direction of the Tao. 505 00:15:53,733 --> 00:15:54,833 He walked in the direction of the law 506 00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:56,833 These two directions 507 00:15:56,866 --> 00:15:58,433 It looks like it's all under construction. 508 00:15:58,433 --> 00:15:59,266 But essentially the opposite 509 00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:01,233 Direction of the Road 510 00:16:01,266 --> 00:16:02,966 Is to reduce human intervention 511 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,600 Let things return to their own rhythm 512 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,366 Lao Tzu said it was damaged and damaged 513 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,633 To do nothing 514 00:16:08,666 --> 00:16:10,166 Silk Book Chapter 11 515 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,766 handed down from generation to generation Chapter 48 516 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,866 Is a subtraction process 517 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Direction of law 518 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,433 Is to increase human intervention 519 00:16:16,466 --> 00:16:20,200 Covering more and more behavior with ever more sophisticated rules 520 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,633 It's an addition process. 521 00:16:21,633 --> 00:16:23,933 When added to the extreme, it is the law and things 522 00:16:23,966 --> 00:16:25,366 And there are many thieves 523 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,833 Silk Book Chapter 20 524 00:16:26,833 --> 00:16:28,000 handed down from generation to generation Chapter 57 525 00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,733 And the verdict of the silk book happens to say this in Chapter 20 526 00:16:32,766 --> 00:16:34,200 Dharma 527 00:16:34,233 --> 00:16:34,966 And there are many thieves 528 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,966 The laws multiply 529 00:16:37,966 --> 00:16:38,866 The more thieves 530 00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:41,433 Shang Yang has been doing addition all his life 531 00:16:41,466 --> 00:16:42,133 add law 532 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:43,166 penalty 533 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,333 plus even sitting 534 00:16:44,366 --> 00:16:46,000 plus reward and punishment provisions 535 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,600 Subdivision of military titles 536 00:16:48,433 --> 00:16:50,500 Every addition is logically consistent 537 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:52,100 Each addition is short-lived 538 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,933 But the law of many news and poor numbers 539 00:16:54,966 --> 00:16:55,966 He can't escape 540 00:16:55,966 --> 00:16:57,600 Silk Book Chapter 49 541 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,833 Handed down Chapter 5 542

different meanings. 546 00:17:05,666 --> 00:17:07,100 The more means 547 00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:07,733 The closer the poor 548 00:17:08,833 --> 00:17:10,366 The judgment given to him by Heaven 549 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,000 Written in the four words Qin people have no pity 550 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,633 His decree makes it clear 551 00:17:14,666 --> 00:17:15,900 Reward good and punish

555 00:17:21,266 --> 00:17:23,266 The system he built with his own hands 556 00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:24,966 Sentenced him to death 557 00:17:24,966 --> 00:17:27,866 And the people of Qin who he personally promoted from the bottom 558 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:29,000 No one complained for him 559 00:17:29,733 --> 00:17:30,433 This is not betrayal 560 00:17:31,466 --> 00:17:32,966 This is the perfect operation of that system 561 00:17:33,933 --> 00:17:37,600 He trained people to be precise calculators in the reward and punishment mechanism 562 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,833 When he disappears 563 00:17:38,833 --> 00:17:41,766 There is no emotional bond for these people to speak up for him 564 00:17:42,633 --> 00:17:45,733 Because he had no room for those bonds. 565 00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,333 This is the judgment of the Tao of Heaven 566 00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:49,433 What have you built? 567 00:17:49,466 --> 00:17:50,433 You are swallowed by something 568 00:17:51,333 -->

life 589 00:18:24,466 --> 00:18:26,566 Is the exact opposite of these four sentences 590 00:18:26,566 --> 00:18:27,933 He is extremely polished 591 00:18:27,966 --> 00:18:30,533 Every law is precisely

is repeatedly calculated 598 00:18:43,666 --> 00:18:44,933 But every one is blocked 599 00:18:45,233 --> 00:18:46,333 Third floor 600 00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:49,400 What's wrong with Shang Yang's consciousness system? 601 00:18:50,433 --> 00:18:51,366 Focusing on two dimensions 602 00:18:52,466 --> 00:18:53,666 The first dimension 603 00:18:53,666 --> 00:18:54,600 sixth sense 604 00:18:54,633

the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period 610 00:19:08,366 --> 00:19:11,566 He can also simulate in his head the policy direction ten years from now 611 00:19:11,966 --> 00:19:15,466 It can disassemble human weaknesses into actionable incentive mechanisms 612 00:19:15,466 --> 00:19:18,666 The power of the abstract state can be embodied into each article 613 00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:19,933 Enforceable legal provisions 614 00:19:20,866 --> 00:19:22,166 This is the ultimate use of intelligence 615 00:19:23,033 --> 00:19:24,466 But his seventh sense 616 00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:25,533 Mona 617 00:19:25,566 --> 00:19:29,866 The level of consciousness that persists in grasping this is mine, this is what I do 618 00:19:29,866 --> 00:19:31,333 Also highly active 619 00:19:31,366 --> 00:19:32,833 And it is closely bound to the sixth sense 620 00:19:33,833 --> 00:19:34,933 In the vernacular 621 00:19:34,966 --> 00:19:37,033 The more rational his analytical skills are 622 00:19:37,033 --> 00:19:38,966 I designed his system 623 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,533 I created this state of Qin, and the deeper this obsession goes 624 00:19:42,533 --> 00:19:44,933 The essence of knowledge is to continuously capture a sense of self 625 00:19:45,866 --> 00:19:47,100 For the average person 626 00:19:47,133 --> 00:19:50,366 What Moonai grabbed was my home, my money, and my face 627 00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:52,833 For people at Shang Yang's level 628 00:19:52,866 --> 00:19:56,766 What I have learned is my reform, my system, and my historical achievements 629 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,833 Different scale 630 00:19:58,833 --> 00:19:59,300 Same structure 631 00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:02,666 And this creates a fatal blind spot. 632 00:20:02,666 --> 00:20:05,766 He couldn't accept that the results of the system's operation did not match his preset 633 00:20:06,766 --> 00:20:07,900 Early stage of reform 634 00:20:07,933 --> 00:20:09,300 Prince breaks the law 635 00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:10,633 He dealt with the prince's teacher 636 00:20:11,466 --> 00:20:12,466 This decision 637 00:20:12,466 --> 00:20:13,966 There is no legal problem. 638 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,366 Logically impeccable 639 00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:20,166 But this decision sowed the seeds of an inevitable backlash for him 640 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,566 Gongzi Qian closed his door for the next eight years 641 00:20:22,566 --> 00:20:24,133 Accumulated hatred for him 642 00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:24,800 bide your time 643 00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:28,266 Of course Shang Yang knew about the existence of this seed 644 00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,133 But his sixth sense told him 645 00:20:30,166 --> 00:20:32,733 The credibility of the law is more important than personal grievances 646 00:20:32,733 --> 00:20:33,400 Must be implemented 647 00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:35,866 He counted on the credibility of the law 648 00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:38,866 Without counting the end, that knowledge will never stop 649 00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,900 Not just his own knowledge 650 00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:42,500 And the son is pious 651 00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:46,466 And everyone who has been cut, stabbed, or even seated by his decrees 652 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,700 The final knowledge of these people is waiting 653 00:20:49,533 --> 00:20:51,366 The moment of Qin Xiaogong's death 654 00:20:51,366 --> 00:20:52,133 The wait is over. 655 00:20:53,033 --> 00:20:54,366 Second dimension 656 00:20:54,366 --> 00:20:55,733 pervasiveness 657 00:20:55,766 --> 00:20:57,500 Treat the label of law as Tao itself 658 00:20:58,500 --> 00:20:59,600 Consciousness-only 659 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,066 All-pervasiveness means that we treat conceptual labels as if they were real. 660 00:21:04,166 --> 00:21:07,300 We mentioned this concept when we talked about Confucius in the first issue 661 00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:08,800 Confucius' System of Correcting Names 662 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,233 It's treating status as substance 663 00:21:11,266 --> 00:21:12,900 Shang Yang's problem is similar 664 00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:14,033 But more thoroughly 665 00:21:14,033 --> 00:21:15,833 He regards the law as the whole of the Tao 666 00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,800 Law is a system of concepts 667 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,233 It's a network of labels that describe and regulate behavior. 668 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200 Tao is the internal rhythm that makes all things run naturally 669 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,500 Exists before any label 670 00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,200 Shang Yang knows very well that the law is a tool 671 00:21:30,166 --> 00:21:31,900 He told Duke Xiao of Qin 672 00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:33,033 Law is the means 673 00:21:33,066 --> 00:21:34,200 The goal is to enrich the country and strengthen the army 674 00:21:35,033 --> 00:21:36,366 In this sense 675 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,900 He did not naively deify (human) law 676 00:21:38,766 --> 00:21:41,166 But he made a more subtle mistake 677 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,966 He uses the logic of (human) law to understand the operation of the Tao of Heaven 678 00:21:43,966 --> 00:21:47,566 I thought that as long as the rules were precise enough and enforced thoroughly enough 679 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,266 The outcome can then be calculated and controlled 680 00:21:50,233 --> 00:21:52,733 This is treating the Tao of Heaven as a programmable machine 681 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,666 Heaven is not a machine 682 00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:56,033 It runs 683 00:21:56,066 --> 00:21:57,300 But it doesn't respond to program commands. 684 00:21:58,166 --> 00:21:59,566 You can adapt to it. 685 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,600 But you can't program it. 686 00:22:01,466 --> 00:22:02,400 Shang Yang's Law 687 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,133 One of the most sophisticated attempts at programming 688 00:22:05,066 --> 00:22:06,333 The more precise the programming 689 00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:08,633 The more obvious the misalignment with Heavenly Dao 690 00:22:08,633 --> 00:22:11,300 Because the core attribute of Heavenly Dao is precisely that it cannot be programmed (by humans) 691 00:22:12,366 --> 00:22:14,066 Using Silk Books Chapter 27 692 00:22:14,066 --> 00:22:16,066 The words of Chapter 65 693 00:22:16,066 --> 00:22:17,100 Know the state 694 00:22:17,133 --> 00:22:17,733 Thief of the State 695 00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:19,700 With ignorance 696 00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:20,400 Bangzhideya 697 00:22:21,366 --> 00:22:23,466 Use ingenuity to govern the country 698 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:24,933 It's a national disaster. 699 00:22:24,933 --> 00:22:27,200 Govern with a kind of ignorance that transcends ingenuity 700 00:22:27,233 --> 00:22:28,233 It is the merit of the country 701 00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:31,433 Shang Yang is the ultimate practitioner who knows the state by knowing the state 702 00:22:32,233 --> 00:22:33,266 His ending 703 00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:34,600 It's already written in this sentence 704 00:22:35,533 --> 00:22:38,200 Hypothetically deducing if Shang Yang is at that critical node 705 00:22:38,233 --> 00:22:39,666 Changed operating system 706 00:22:39,666 --> 00:22:40,633 Will the ending be different? 707 00:22:41,366 --> 00:22:42,466 Where are the key nodes? 708 00:22:43,233 --> 00:22:44,466 Not the moment he changed the law 709 00:22:45,233 --> 00:22:47,133 The direction of the reform is correct 710 00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:48,366 The state of Qin does need reform 711 00:22:49,266 --> 00:22:50,233 critical node 712 00:22:50,233 --> 00:22:51,866 It was the day he dealt with the prince's teacher 713 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:54,666 He chose that the law must be enforced without exception 714 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,666 Even if the target is a future monarch 715 00:22:57,733 --> 00:22:59,066 From a legal perspective 716 00:22:59,066 --> 00:23:00,033 This choice is correct 717 00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:02,633 But if he is at that node 718 00:23:02,666 --> 00:23:05,566 I touched the sentence in Chapter 63 of the silk book. 719 00:23:05,566 --> 00:23:07,500 He might have another option. 720 00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,000 Not to protect the prince 721 00:23:09,033 --> 00:23:10,633 It's about finding a way 722 00:23:10,633 --> 00:23:12,766 Let the spirit of the law be upheld 723 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,366 Without turning the future monarch into a lifelong enemy 724 00:23:16,433 --> 00:23:17,466 This is not weakness. 725 00:23:17,466 --> 00:23:19,400 This is chapter 26 of the silk book. 726 00:23:19,433 --> 00:23:22,000 The truth mentioned in Chapter 63 727 00:23:22,033 --> 00:23:23,366 Graphs are hard to come by 728 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,500 Greater than its size 729 00:23:24,966 --> 00:23:26,066 Silk book writing 730 00:23:26,133 --> 00:23:27,333 It's hard to make a picture. 731 00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:28,933 For greater than its fineness 732 00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:30,366 The glyphs are slightly different 733 00:23:30,566 --> 00:23:31,200 Consistent meaning 734 00:23:32,233 --> 00:23:35,833 Start when things are still small and manageable 735 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,266 Don't wait until it becomes a head-to-head situation 736 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,866 He dealt with Young Master Qian in the most violent way 737 00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:44,700 Planted the seeds of death 738 00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:46,300 Then spend the rest of your 20 years 739 00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:49,700 Pour the seed bigger and bigger with more force 740 00:23:50,133 --> 00:23:51,733 Silk Book Chapter 80 741 00:23:51,733 --> 00:23:53,666 According to Chapter 36 742 00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:54,766 Will want to weaken 743 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,566 Bigu Qiangzhi 744 00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:57,333 Will take it 745 00:23:57,333 --> 00:23:58,000 It must be given 746 00:23:58,900 --> 00:23:59,533 Weiming 747 00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:01,800 This sentence doesn't mean to teach you conspiracy 748 00:24:02,533 --> 00:24:03,166 I mean 749 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,633 The real power is not in crushing the opponent to death 750 00:24:05,866 --> 00:24:07,466 Because the more you press to death 751 00:24:07,466 --> 00:24:08,466 The stronger the rebound 752 00:24:09,366 --> 00:24:10,433 Weakness is better than strength 753 00:24:10,433 --> 00:24:12,000 This is the rhythm of the way of heaven 754 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,400 Not moral exhortation 755 00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:16,266 Shang Yang built an extremely rigid system 756 00:24:17,033 --> 00:24:18,633 Something hard to the bone 757 00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:20,200 In the coordinate system of Tiandao 758 00:24:20,233 --> 00:24:22,766 It will be backfired by the law of the inverse Tao 759 00:24:23,533 --> 00:24:24,766 Silk Book Chapter 4 760 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,200 handed down from generation to generation Chapter 40 761 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,100 Silk book version writing inverse 762 00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,266 The movement of the Tao 763 00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:30,133 reverse 764 00:24:30,133 --> 00:24:31,233 The way the Tao moves 765 00:24:32,133 --> 00:24:34,866 Even if he had made a different choice at that point 766 00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:36,733 Can he change the course of Qin's history? 767 00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:37,500 Not necessarily. 768 00:24:38,366 --> 00:24:39,433 After Shang Yang's death 769 00:24:39,433 --> 00:24:42,266 His law continued to operate in the state of Qin for more than a hundred years 770 00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:43,233 Until Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms 771 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,300 From this perspective 772 00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:46,666 His system won. 773 00:24:46,666 --> 00:24:47,300 His men lost 774 00:24:47,933 --> 00:24:52,033 Heaven does not judge success or failure by the personal fate of the system designer 775 00:24:52,066 --> 00:24:53,766 The historical trend has its own rhythm 776 00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:56,633 But he could have died a little less horribly. 777 00:24:56,666 --> 00:24:57,700 Not so Qin people are not pitiful 778 00:24:58,433 --> 00:25:01,366 He thought he had built a system that respected rules. 779 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,000 He actually built the remains of a regularly abandoned person 780 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:05,366 conclusion 781 00:25:05,666 --> 00:25:07,800 There is such a detail recorded in the history of leaving a seam 782 00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:09,666 Before Shang Yang died 783 00:25:09,933 --> 00:25:11,366 Once stayed at the Border Hotel 784 00:25:12,233 --> 00:25:13,666 The owner of the hotel doesn't know who he is 785 00:25:14,033 --> 00:25:14,700 Tell him 786 00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:16,800 According to the decree of Lord Shang 787 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,733 Admitting undocumented passengers 788 00:25:18,766 --> 00:25:20,433 Hotel owner to be sentenced 789 00:25:21,233 --> 00:25:21,966 So 790 00:25:21,966 --> 00:25:22,366 Please leave. 791 00:25:23,333 --> 00:25:24,700 He was shut out by his own decree 792 00:25:25,533 --> 00:25:26,200 He can only leave 793 00:25:27,133 --> 00:25:28,800 Later people told the story 794 00:25:28,833 --> 00:25:31,133 Usually used to kill oneself 795 00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:32,266 It's a joke that satirizes him 796 00:25:33,233 --> 00:25:34,900 But I want to stop here. 797 00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:35,500 Think more 798 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,533 The innkeeper 799 00:25:37,533 --> 00:25:39,233 When he said that 800 00:25:39,266 --> 00:25:40,033 What's on your mind? 801 00:25:40,833 --> 00:25:43,066 He may not know that the person in front of him is Shang Yang 802 00:25:44,066 --> 00:25:47,800 He's just enforcing a law he's known by heart. 803 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,366 Use the logic of the decree to deal with this specific person in front of you 804 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,433 This is precisely Shang Yang's greatest achievement 805 00:25:53,433 --> 00:25:55,366 It is also his deepest tragedy 806 00:25:55,433 --> 00:25:57,833 He succeeded in getting an ordinary hotel owner 807 00:25:57,833 --> 00:25:59,633 Use laws instead of human hearts to make judgments 808 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,000 The prescription for Chapter 63 of the Silk Book is 809 00:26:03,033 --> 00:26:04,266 See Su Baopu 810 00:26:04,266 --> 00:26:04,966 less selfish 811 00:26:05,866 --> 00:26:06,600 see prime 812 00:26:06,633 --> 00:26:07,633 See the way it is 813 00:26:08,666 --> 00:26:09,933 The innkeeper 814 00:26:09,966 --> 00:26:11,366 If you lay down the law 815 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,533 Look at this stranger standing in the dark 816 00:26:13,533 --> 00:26:14,533 What are you looking at? 817 00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:17,933 A tired, terrified person who needs a bed for the night 818 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,100 But that ability 819 00:26:20,133 --> 00:26:21,666 Shang Yang spent twenty years 820 00:26:21,666 --> 00:26:24,266 Cut bit by bit from the habits of the Qin people 821 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,100 When a society puts what the law says before what people are 822 00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:31,800 When a system is more authentic than the people inside it 823 00:26:31,833 --> 00:26:35,400 This society is already living in the judgment of Chapter 62 of the Silk Book 824 00:26:35,733 --> 00:26:36,600 The road is wasted 825 00:26:36,633 --> 00:26:38,466 It didn't come from somewhere else. 826 00:26:38,466 --> 00:26:39,233
