Chapter 451 Taoyuan Village

At some point, a young man with a slender figure and a delicate face, dressed in white clothes, stood outside the tavern. Next to him stood two burly men with tiger-like heads. The little dragon girl stood quietly in the distance.

Hearing the discussion in the tavern, Ning Fan also showed a look of expectation. Although this tavern is small, it is big enough to accommodate the world. It is no exaggeration to say that these three people in the tavern can support a building with their six arms. Temple.

While Ning Fan was pondering, Zhuge Liang's voice also came from the tavern.

"Shang Jun, from the perspective of this younger generation, whether it is rule by law, rule by people, or rule by benevolence, the key lies in the word 'rule'!"

"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought, including Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Politicians, etc., were all seeking their own strategies for governing the country, each with its own advantages and disadvantages."

"The trend of the world is vast. No matter which school's theory can strengthen the country and enrich the people, it is the righteous way."

"Therefore, in Kong Ming's humble opinion, whether it is governing the country according to law or governing the country according to etiquette, it is the kingly way."

"The law is the inside, etiquette is the exterior, the law is there to punish evil, etiquette is there to restrain people, and only by combining law and principles can we formulate a strategy for governing the country!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's remarks, Ning Fan who was standing outside the door couldn't help but nodded. Zhuge Liang is just standing in the trend now, which naturally has some historical limitations.

But Ning Fan is different. He stands at the end of China's thousands of years of historical civilization. Looking back at the past, he can naturally seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"Kong Ming's words make sense!" Shang Yang nodded with a smile and said softly: "There are hundreds of schools of thought, and each school's learning, whether it is Legalism, Confucianism, or Taoism, cannot restrain the people of a country based on the words of one family."

"However, etiquette, benevolence, and morality cannot replace the law. Only by governing the country by law can we deter the world, punish evil and promote good, so that the country is stable and the people live in peace."

"Just now, right prime minister said that the rule of the world lies in the rule of people and the king!"

"In Shang Yang's opinion, this statement is ridiculous!"

"How can the destiny of a country be attached to a saintly and virtuous king?"

"Human nature is inherently evil and needs to be deterred by harsh laws, with punishment of evil and promotion of good as the foundation. In this way, everyone is bound by the law and does not dare to do evil. Only then can the country be stable and the people can live in peace."

"In terms of government administration, officials should be restrained by law, and corrupt officials should be punished on the basis of law."

…

Ning Fan stood there for a long time, until the sounds in the tavern gradually disappeared, and then he strode into it. After the owner of the tavern learned the identities of the three people, he hid in the corner and shivered like a quail.

"Sir, the shop is not accepting customers today..."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Li and the others, but Ning Fan smiled playfully: "Mr. Shen, the three of you here are affecting the business of the store!"

"Your Highness?"

After Shen Li saw Ning Fan's figure, he looked startled. The three of them quickly stood up to greet him, but Ning Fan waved his hand with a smile and walked to Shang Yang.

"Come on, Xu Chu, aren't you curious about who can make me run more than 400 miles in one day and come to see you overnight?"

"promise……"

"This is it!"

After hearing Ning Fan's words, Xu Chu and Dian Wei looked at each other with a look of deep surprise, and asked in confusion: "Kong Ming, who is he?"

"It doesn't look like he has three heads or six arms. I, Lao Dian, can knock him to the ground by myself."

"When evil comes, don't be rude!"

Zhuge Liang introduced with a smile: "This is a descendant of the Wei Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lord Shang Yang of Shang."

"Shangjun!"

Dian Wei's eyes widened, and Xu Chu on the side also took a deep breath, immediately put away his unruly look, stepped forward obediently, and bowed in salute.

"Dian Wei, meet Mr. Shang!"

"Xu Chu, meet Mr. Shang!"

"My dear, even though I, Lao Dian, am uneducated, I know that it was precisely because of Lord Shang's reforms that the remaining heroes of the Sixth Generation of the Qin Dynasty were able to unify the six kingdoms!"

"Ahem!"

Xu Chu coughed lightly, signaling that there were outsiders around him. Dian Wei also realized that and quickly shut up.

Ning Fan smiled and looked at Shang Yang quietly, then stepped forward and bowed: "Junior Ning Fan, I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Shang."

"Don't dare!"

Shang Yang avoided Ning Fan's salute and returned the salute: "Shang Yang, pay homage to my lord."

Shen Qiushi on the side listened in confusion and said nothing for a long time. He kept thinking about the origin of the person in front of him. Judging from his age, he was only thirty years old, but he was called a junior by His Highness?

The remaining heroes of the sixth generation of the Qin Dynasty?

Unify the six countries?

Which dynasty is this and why has he never heard of it?

"Everyone, take a seat!"

Ning Fan took a glass of wine with a smile and looked at Shang Yang: "I have been listening to Lord Shang's remarks for a long time in front of the door. Now, I, Dayu, lack someone like Lord Shang who is proficient in laws and good at innovation. people."

"Your Highness, who is this Mr. Shang?"

"Who is the disciple?"

"Why have I never heard of it?"

Shen Li couldn't help but ask again, and Ning Fan smiled and said: "Shang Yang comes from Taoyuan Village. He has been living in seclusion in the world and has just entered the world."

"Taoyuan Village?"

"Where is this village? There is such a master. I should go and pay a visit."

"What Mr. Shen doesn't know is that Taoyuan Village is a paradise, isolated from the world. The land is flat, the houses are like-looking, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, bamboos, roads, traffic, and chickens and dogs can hear each other."

"In this Taoyuan Village, every villager is a scholar of his family, or a master with the talent of governing the country."

"There are also generals who are good at fighting. As the saying goes, there are great scholars talking and laughing, and there are no unlearned people coming and going."

"Shang Jun, Kong Ming, Guo Jia and others are all from Taoyuan Village."

When Shen Li heard Ning Fan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "There is such a fresh and refined place in the world, where there are great scholars talking and laughing, and there are no unlearned people coming and going. It really makes me yearn for it!"

"Your Highness, I don't know where this Taoyuan Village is. Can you introduce it to me?"

"Mr. Shen doesn't know, this Taoyuan Village There is a rule in Taoyuan Village that allows people to leave but not enter. Taoyuan Village has always set a village rule to avoid being disturbed by the outside world and worldly things. "

"Anyone in the village, once they leave Taoyuan Village, is not allowed to enter again for the rest of their lives, and people who are not from Taoyuan Village are not allowed to step in."

"There is a master of mechanisms in the village, who has set up many mechanisms. No one can enter without the guidance of someone inside."

Listening to Ning Fan's serious nonsense, Shang Yang and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and couldn't help but twitch their lips. My lord, don't fool us anymore. If you keep fooling us, we will also want to skip work and go back to Taoyuan Village.

"The life in Taoyuan Village is really fascinating!"

"What a pity..."
