introduction:
After the advent of the Warring States Era, the State of Wei
Sheriff Lee Woo
A bizarre law was established that requires:
All subsequent legal proceedings were determined by the hit rate of the archery, and this law was strictly enforced.
After this, the Qin state
Daliang maker martingale
There is also a strange law,
He set up a piece of wood at the gate of the city, and he also asked whoever could move the wood to the other side of the city was rewarded with 10 gold
。
Lee's Transformation Method
These two absurd laws, separated by the historical dimension, were enforced in the Warring States period, and at first people thought that this was a joke of the two adults, but they did not expect that the absurd laws made both countries strong.
Li Wu lied up the strange law, the crowd was excited, and finally made a miracle
As we all know, the Warring States is an era of changing the law, and in order to seek a process of unification, countries have sought various folk remedies to strengthen themselves. Be the first to say yes in this process
Reform
Naturally, it is necessary to count the year
，
He was the ancestor of all the figures of the Fa Sect
At that time, he directly implemented his own imaginary pilot at the local level.
Li Wu stills
According to historical records, Li Wu proposed a strange decree that year, and he required all criminal proceedings to be decided by archery. This decree was put forward, and it immediately aroused the opposition of the common people, the innocent people resisted, and the powerful nobles also objected, and these people even gathered a large number of officials to prepare for the impeachment of Li Wu.
Unfortunately,
Li Wu was the most thoughtful young politician of his time
The king covered up all these impeachment articles, and the ministers were watching like fools, watching what stupid things the county sheriff Li Wu was doing. Seeing that the top does not agree, so the bottom
The common people and nobles can only practice their bows and arrows every day.
After all, they may eat a lawsuit at any time, and if the archery is not good, then they will suffer a big loss in the future. After a series of lawsuits, the whole government office heard every day the shouts of shooting bows and arrows, as well as the sound of cheers next to them.
bow and arrow
Suddenly, the steppe peoples on the border came to offend, and the ordinary people in Li Wu's jurisdiction, everyone was dressed up, and as a result, in the process of fighting these cavalry, every soldier, including the common people, shot their bows and arrows very accurately, and the invaders who hit them all at once turned over on their horses, and before the common people could react, the enemy had already been defeated.
At this time, people realized that the original Law of Li Wu was to urge everyone to actively practice archery, and through this actual battle, everyone also recognized Li Wu's routine, and the road of Wei Guo's change of law also began.
Lessons from the past, Shang Martin imitated Li Wu

After completing the pilot, his junior boy

There was also a strange law in the Qin Kingdom
, that's the big name
Migration
。 His request was straightforward and immediate
Whoever can carry the wood away can get 10 gold, and watch the people around them not believe that Shang Martin has raised the bounty all the way to 50 gold.
The end result was that a young man came out under pressure from the crowd and decided to try, and finally he effortlessly carried the wood away, and then received a bonus.
Quotient martingale transformation method
At first, everyone was still laughing,
Shang Martin, the official, is a fool who has money and no place to spend, and the man who carries the wood is also a fool who is stupid enough to believe in the government.
But Wanwan did not expect that Shang Martin was taking advantage of everyone's boiling sound to directly announce the law, and Shang Martin directly said,
Where the law is there, there is a law to follow, the credibility of the government has just been shown through the migration of Wood Lixin, the government can give everyone a bounty according to the agreement, and at the same time will strictly punish the unruly people in accordance with the law.
this
At that time, everyone understood what was going on, so everyone bowed down and shouted to abide by the law, and ShangMartin's first reform movement began.
The Confucian and French families have a grudge
Comparing these two laws with these two historical allusions, we will find that there was indeed a set of legal reforms in those years.
If you only look at the two laws themselves, it is simply strange. At that time, Confucian Taoists always looked down on the Ideas of the Dharma, believing that they were too utilitarian and that they were too inhuman.
In fact, from here we can completely see that the Fa is the school that truly has the best grasp of human nature.
They know the weaknesses of human nature, and they know the inadequacies of human nature, so they advocate the strictest laws, whipping people like whips
。 But the law has to be enforced.
The first problem to face is to abide by credibility, and the first is how to implement it.
From the point of view of compliance with credibility, it is not only martingale, even now, it is difficult to enact a law to maintain its credibility. Taking the original Qin state as an example, the reason why the common people did not believe in Shang Martin's migration of Mu Lixin was because the promises made by the previous government had never been fulfilled, so the prestige of the law continued to decline. Through the move of Migratory Wood Lixin, Shang Martin won the hearts and minds of the people of the world at a very small cost.
This seems to be much more effective when viewed from the slow summoning of Confucianism and the indoctrination of ideology, morality, and love, so at that time, The Idea of the Dharma had surpassed Confucianism in grasping human nature.
Got it
Prestige
After that, the next thing is how to let everyone implement it, although Shang Martin has always emphasized that they should be dealt with with very strict laws, cutting off their hands and feet if they do not listen to the law of taking out garbage, and using bloody policies to make them obey. But Li Wu also proposed a more grasping approach to people's hearts.
That is, in addition to fear, the impulse that best makes people act is the seduction of interests
Through the change of rules in the judgment of the law, everyone was induced to learn to practice the bow and arrow, and eventually the entire territory of the county was so that everyone in the territory of the county was good at archery, so that when the enemy came, they were beaten and fled. therefore
The ideas of the Dharma, at least represented by Li Wu, know how to lure them with profit and not disadvantage.
Treating the diehards with fear and oppression, and treating those good people with interests to seduce them, the legal system of the legal family was implemented at once, controlling people's hearts to the extreme, so that both countries became law-changing powers.
epilogue
Although the ideas of the Dharma did not seem to be very popular in the dynasties and dynasties, moreover
Many people have no human touch on the minds of the scholars
But in fact, in the Warring States period, the Legalists always knew the human heart very well, so that their understanding of human nature exceeded that of Confucianism.
That's why their legal system is so systematic, so Shang Martin and Li Wu will make their country suddenly become a superpower.
But we still have to maintain a rational attitude towards this.
Dharma minds understand the evils of human nature, so they know how to restrain these human behaviors in a quick way and use the weaknesses of human nature to induce them.
These are only applicable to the Warring States and the war era, in the era of peace, the best way to guide human nature is Confucianism.
Because man is divided into two sides, good and evil, the evil side needs the Dharma, and the good side needs Confucianism.
However, in the Warring States period, in the era of human nature,
The Dharma's mind stands out, and the control of human nature is a miracle.
