If the people dare not resist the law, the country will be strong, and if the people dare to violate the law, the state will be weak, so the country that governs the law must make the people dare not resist the law.
If the people are simple, they will not dare to break the law; When the people indulge, they dare to act recklessly.
If you don't dare to break the law, you will abide by the law.
The people obey the law, and they obey the people; If you do whatever you want, you won't be able to control it.
Therefore, the adoption of a policy of strengthening the people to eliminate the law-abiding people, the power of the state is weak; By adopting a policy of weakness to weed out lawless people, the state is stronger.
The people, the state treats them preferentially, and they are close to the state; The state justifies the servitude of them, and they are of the same heart as the state. When the state uses them, they go all out.
If they are of the same mind as the nation, the nation will not be poor; If they work with all their might, the decrees of the state will have good results.
If the king abandons the law and allows the people to do as they please, then there will be many evils, and the people will strive to get rich when they are poor, and if they become rich, they will be indulged, and if they are indulged, they will produce evils like lice.
Therefore, when the people are rich, it will not be easy for them to serve, so let them go out to serve with grain instead of grain, so that each of them can contribute, so that the peasants will not be lazy. If the peasants are not lazy, the six evils will not arise.
Therefore, if the country is rich and strong, the people will be strong and strong when they abide by the law.
The country's military strength is weakened, and it is difficult to become strong. People cherish their lives, covet comfort, and desperately go to the country to achieve hardship. If it is not difficult to fight to the death, the military force is strong.
If the people are ashamed, there will be less wickedness. If there is no mistake in the reward and punishment of the state, the evil will cease.
If the enemy makes a mistake in this regard, it will be in our favor.
When the army is strong, it will produce prestige, and it will be conducive to the use of troops if the war is not ashamed of any means. If you have been in a favorable situation for a long time, you will definitely be able to claim the king.
Therefore, if you use troops to do what the enemy does not dare to do, the force will be strong; Do what the enemy deems shameful, and the country will be in good interest. When the law is constant, the people can be in their own place; The monarch adapts to the situation in order to succeed in everything.
It is advantageous for the country to have a permanent French monarch to manipulate the power. Therefore, the monarch values the ability to change, and the country values stability.
The Lilu of the imperial court has more materials from one channel country, and less materials from ten channel countries. Adhere to one channel, and the country will be strictly governed; Those who stick to the ten channels will be in chaos.
If the country is strictly organized, it will be strong, and if it is chaotic, it will be weak. If it is strong, there will be a gathering of materials; Weak materials will be dispersed. Therefore, the state makes the gathering of materials stronger, and the dispersion of materials weaker.
If the people are weak, they will respect the title, and if they are weak, they will respect the officials; Poverty values rewards.
The court rules the people with criminal law, and the people are happy to use it; Reward war with bounty, and the people will despise death. Therefore, when the battle is strict and the soldiers go all out, it is called strong. When the people have a scale of self-pride, they despise the officials and despise them; When the people are rich, they despise the reward. Govern the people, use the penal law to make them know what true shame is, and they will go to war in war.
The people are greedy for life and fear of death, and the politics are chaotic, and if they go to war with other countries, the soldiers and peasants will be lazy, and the power of the country will be weak.
Peasants, merchants, and officials are the people who have regular occupations in the state.
The peasants ploughed the land, the merchants sold their goods, and the officials governed the people.
These three classes produce six types of lice:
The first is the "old" lice; the second is to "eat" lice; the third is the "beautiful" lice; the fourth is the "good" lice; the fifth is the "zhi" lice; The sixth is the "line" lice. When these six species of lice take root, the country will surely be weakened. The peasants had surplus food and grew up in peace and pleasure.
Merchants made a lot of profits, selling fancy and playful items, which had a bad effect on the necessities of daily use. Although the officials have been set up, they are unwilling to contribute to the country, and their thoughts and behaviors have become a disease of the country and the people. Six kinds of lice form a custom, and when the army goes out to fight, it is bound to be a great defeat.
The law is twisted, and the rule will be disordered. If you appoint virtuous people, talk about them should prevail.
If there are many ways to govern, the country will be in chaos. If talk prevails, the force is weak. If the law is clear, the way of governance will be simplified. With power, the talk will stop. The province is simple, and the country is governed. If you talk about stopping, you will be strong.
Therefore when the road is enlarged, the land is shrunk; When the road is narrowed, the land is expanded.
Policies build what the people hate, and the people are weak; Policies build what the people like, and the people are strong. When the people are weak, the country is strong; When the people are strong, the country is weak. What the people like is that the people are strong; If the people are stronger, and the policies make them stronger, as a result, the forces are weak and weak. What the people like is that the people are strong; If the people are strong and the policies make them weak, the result is that the army is stronger and stronger. Therefore, the policy of strengthening the people is implemented, so that the army is weak and weak, and the country is reduced; Implementing the policy of the weak people, so that the army is strong and strong, can achieve the royal cause. Use the policy of strengthening the people to attack the strong people and the weak people, and the strong people still exist; If we use the policy of the weak people to attack the weak people and the strong people, the strong people will be eliminated. If the people are strong, the country will be weak; If the people are destroyed, the royal industry can be achieved. It can be seen that if the policy of strengthening the people is used to rule the strong people, the country will be weakened; If you rule the strong people with the policy of the weak people, you can achieve the royal cause.
When the Ming Emperor appoints his subordinates, the appointment must fully reflect his merits, and the reward must be equal to all his merits. The king convinces his subjects of this, just as he believes that the sun and the moon move in order, and then he will be invincible.
Lilou can see the end of the autumn and can't give his eyes to others; Wu Shu can lift the weight of a thousand pounds, but he can't give his divine power to others.
Nor can the sages give to others in terms of talents. If anyone in power today wants to be a saint, the rule of law must be implemented. It is like abandoning the law to govern the country like going on a long journey without oxen and horses, or like wanting to cross a great river without a boat.
A country with a large population and a strong military force is a great capital to achieve the cause of the emperor, but if it is not strengthened by strict laws, it is close to perishing. The Ming Emperor cultivated the law, so that the people did not have lustful thoughts, tourists and priests automatically participated in the war, and all the people worked hard to farm and war. The monarch understands this.
The people of the state of Chu moved quickly and uniformly, marching as fast as a whirlwind. He held a spear made of steel, as sharp as the stinger of a bee scorpion, and his armor made of mackerel and rhinoceros skin was as strong as gold and stone.
There are also the Yangtze River and the Han River as moats, the Ru River, the Yingshui as a basis, the Deng Lin as a barrier, and the Fangcheng as a fortress. However, when the Qin soldiers arrived, capturing Yan Ying was like destroying the withering and decaying.
Tang Wei died in the battle, Zhuang Ji revolted at home, and the state of Chu was divided into five. The land of Chu is not vast, the people are not numerous, the armor and property are not insufficient, but the battle cannot be won, and the defense cannot be strong, this is the result of not cultivating the law, just like giving up the tools of weighing and weighing the weight.
