Chapter Thirty-One: On the Hall of the Supreme Court on the Confucian Law
"Uncle Master."
In the Tempering Heart Hall, Lin Chongyang sat back in his seat after saluting Xia Kanxuan behind the curtain.
Vacations are always short, although it doesn't make much difference to him. As long as it's not a retreat, it doesn't matter where he studies. After all, the efficiency of practice lies there.
"The recent feedback is all on the table. You can read it first, and then share your views."
Most of the Confucian scholars who have gone out to start their own businesses in recent years have done well. After establishing a firm foothold in the local area, they have largely shared the pressure of the Defeng Ancient Road.
If the system before the reform was followed, all local matters would have to be reported back to the Tempering Heart Palace, which would not only cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, but also sometimes cause problems due to untimely feedback.
After the reform, local affairs were handled by local branches. Only those that they could not solve, or had insufficient authority, would be reported back to the headquarters.
The advantages are obviously obvious, but the disadvantages are not without them.
As time goes by, it is still unknown whether these people can maintain their original intentions, and the decisive factor is the person in charge.
The higher the ability and popularity of the leader, the slower each branch will be corrupted. The worse the ability and popularity, the faster it will be corrupted. The Confucian sage and Mingde leader, and the ancient Taoist leader are two different concepts.

Lin Chongyang picked up the files on the table one by one. After reading them, he rolled them up and put them down. After reading all the contents of more than ten volumes, he said
“It seems pretty good so far, but without follow-up management, it will only deteriorate sooner or later.
After establishing a firm foothold, they have become vested interests. As time goes by, I believe that there will not be a minority of people who live without food.
I even think that some of them don’t do or say anything about the business, and in turn, they will criticize the ancient Defeng Tao.”
How many people can maintain their original aspirations? Now Xia Kanxuan is suppressing them. None of these people can change the world and can only work obediently. When he takes over in the future, it will be business as usual, but what about in the future?
The disadvantage of human rule is that it all depends on the ability of those in power. Once the ability is insufficient, it will only be a matter of time before the "lords from all walks of life" listen to the instructions or not.
Is this okay? That's definitely not okay.
If the organization supports you to sit in this position, it must be because they hope that you will do more practical things, think more about the common people, and carry forward the Confucian spirit.
Instead of eating a vegetarian meal in the corpse position, it will ruin the reputation of Confucianism and add chaos to the ancient virtues.
"Then how do you think we should solve it?"
This matter of human governance is easy to solve, but difficult to solve.
After all, it is still a test of the ability of those in power. The first generation reforms, the second generation maintains the status quo, and after the third generation, these people become accustomed to it.
The pressure is mainly on the first and second generations. The first generation must carry out the policy while suppressing the opposition below who are ready to move; the second generation must stabilize the policy and not allow the opposition to find opportunities for restoration.
Of course, this is still treating the innate person as a human being, and Xia Ganxuan also did this, but he still wanted to hear Lin Chongyang's point of view.
"Capture performance and let everyone know that don't think about hanging around in one place waiting to die. If you are not willing to do it, if you can't do it well, there are people who are willing to do it and can do it better than you.
The reward for accumulated performance is the opportunity to further study in the true treasure of all phenomena. After all, we can’t want them to do things without giving them the treatment they deserve. That would be a bit too unkind.”
What kind of place is Confucianism? It is a place for teaching and educating people. Educational actions have far-reaching effects. Therefore, we must cast a wide net and catch more fish.
If someone in the front does not do well, or someone does not want to do it, there will be people in the back who will step up. The most important thing Confucianism does not lack is opportunists.
After all, this place has the most scholars, and the Defeng Ancient Road is not a place that teaches people to read rote books.
However, we should not engage in a wolf culture, as this can easily drive the wolves crazy and eventually kill their owner.
If you want horses to run, you have to give them grass to eat and let them know that what they do is valuable and rewarding, and they can even paint a picture appropriately.
After all, his goal is to promote healthy competition, not to engage in exploitation, something that does not treat innate people as human beings and does not exist.
And the Wanxiang Zhenzang, which is being built now, is a good insertion point. As one of the greatest foundations of the lineage of Confucian sages and Mingde in the future, it doesn’t make sense that you would just go whoring in vain if you don’t contribute, right?
This is why the disaster of the Yamata Evil God is pressing on his head like a big mountain, making it impossible for him to get out, making it impossible for him to pull out his hand.
Otherwise, go travel around and find some races that are living in seclusion but not living a good life, and let them join the big family of Confucian saints and virtuous people, join this cycle of healthy competition, and give them some positivity
Those who are not strong go to class.
"I'm starting to worry about their future."
Although he said this, there was no hint of worry in Xia Kanxuan's tone. The meaning of Lin Chongyang's words coincided with some of his thoughts.
However, this due treatment is a matter of opinion, and it directly sets the threshold for Wanxiang Zhenzang, which is what he expected.
After all, such a large facility is not only difficult to build, but also requires regular maintenance. Even if De Feng Ancient Taoism is a great cause, it cannot withstand the trouble.
Xia Kanxuan didn't say anything after that, obviously waiting for Lin Chongyang's instructions on how to improve performance and how to ensure that these people responded to the policy. What was closely related to this was law, the law of Confucianism.
"Before that, we need to compile a code of laws, which is the law of the Confucian saints and Mingde, and write down the laws and regulations in black and white.
The ones who go out to establish branches are naturally the big ones. As long as they still recognize their identity, they will be restricted and enjoy the treatment they deserve.
Confucian scholars who came out of the ancient path of De Feng also work in other sects and even countries. It is not easy to manage what happened in the past, but it needs to be managed together in the future.
Unless he admits that he is not a student of the ancient virtues and virtues, he must abide by all the laws. At the very least, he must not deviate from the right path or embarrass the Confucian sect."
Lin Chongyang's meaning is very simple. One day you are a student of the Defeng Ancient Way, and you will be a student of the Defeng Ancient Way all your life. If you abide by the rules and laws, the school can help you arrange everything after your death.
There must be corresponding rules and regulations when doing things, otherwise it will be easy for everyone to be in danger.
However, the law is ruthless and people are sentimental, so special incidents must be dealt with in special ways.
"The Code of Harmony."
As soon as Xia Kanxuan finished speaking, a thick book appeared in front of Lin Chongyang. Lin Chongyang picked it up and complained while reading it.
"Uncle Master, you have finished everything, and you even tested me..."
The content can be said to be comprehensive, and the last sentence, "The final right of interpretation belongs to De Feng Ancient Dao," can be called a stroke of genius.
"Okay, go and do your own thing. If you want to go out for a walk, go for a walk. If you want to go into seclusion, go into seclusion. You won't have to come to the Tempering Heart Palace for a short time."
After taking back the Code of Laws, Xia Ganxuan spoke out to drive him away. Until now, he was not worried about Lin Chongyang's problems, but he could see that there was an inexplicable sense of urgency in the other party. Since the other party didn't say anything, there was no need for him as an elder.
