Chapter 99 The Most Unreliable Morality

Because of Lin Feng's generous speech and strong persistence, the representatives of Mingxin Street finally decided to set the monthly wage of cleaning staff at 140 cents, which is slightly lower than Lin Feng's initial 180 cents, but it is reasonable.

After solving the "most difficult" wage problem, Lin Feng proposed detailed suggestions such as appropriate increase in the number of funds in the street shops, recruiting cleaning staff, and cleaning effect supervision standards, and no one intentionally opposed it.

When Lin Feng finally stopped talking, the widow raised her head shyly, hesitated to raise her hand in the air, and asked softly: "Mr. Lin, I want to apply for a cleaner, is that OK?"

Lin Feng glanced at the representatives at the scene and asked in a harmonious voice: "Dear villagers, they are the only son and widowed mother, please consider taking care of them?"

Old Man Zhou said, "Cheng Li is very diligent in daily life and has a good temperament, I agree."

The others looked at each other and agreed.

Cheng Li excitedly gave Lin Feng a blessing, then turned around to salute the neighbors, and tears couldn't help but hold her eyes. She did money work for others day and night, and her monthly income would be only fifty-six cents. Now she changed to a job that showed up in public, but her income has increased by nearly three times, which is really a big joy.

A young man in the crowd couldn't help but mutter: "Mr. Lin, this fact is too small. You can just clarify how much wages you have. Just let Cheng Li do it."

Lin Feng, who had a sharp ear, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, pointed at the young man and shook his head and said, "This is because I have no selfishness, so everyone can still accept this result. If someone else takes the decision, what should he do if his relatives and friends do it? He doesn't let the neighbors know anything about it, what should he do if he spends money indiscriminately? He took everyone's money but didn't send it to the cleaning staff."

The young man was stammering and couldn't speak. Everyone at the scene also calmed down and looked at Lin Feng.

"As it said, no one is trustworthy. Without such a seemingly complicated but very fair process, the interests of every resident may be damaged. Remember, without the most basic procedural justice and the fair participation of each of you stakeholders, there will definitely be no fair result." Lin Feng concluded earnestly.

"Procedural justice." Many people couldn't help but repeat this sentence.

"If you don't have the chance to participate in such a small matter that concerns your own interests, will it be possible for you to participate in the decision-making of something involving greater interests? Wouldn't you let the mermaid be meat?" Lin Feng continued to spread his democratic concept to the crowd. "I have imagined such a complicated and complicated procedure. What is the starting point? Who can tell me."

"Mr. Lin, I have something to say in my heart, but I can't help but want to say it. I feel that you are guarding against each of us like a thief. These procedures are what they think of as a result of this." A middle-aged representative who runs a store said in a low voice.

"So smart and have vision." Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, pointing at the representative and said, "Yes, that's it. To put it bluntly, I think a person, especially a person with a certain power and status, has the most unreliable morality and character.

Everyone has heard of it. Su Wu has shepherded sheep for 19 years in the northern border. He drank snow thirsty and swallowed felt hungry. He vowed not to rebel against the great man and kept the integrity of a great man. However, he still married a Hun woman on the grassland and gave birth to children. Is this a loss of personal integrity? Is it a kind of betrayal? Even Su Wu, who has been famous for all ages, is he? Can anyone find a saint in history who truly promises and fulfills his promises without fail?"

"Mr. Lin, isn't Yao, Shun and Yu recorded in ancient books considered saints? Also, Confucius, who is known as the 'Sage of Heaven' and 'The Wooden Bell of Heaven', isn't it?" In the crowd, a young man dressed in a scholar retorted dissatisfiedly.

Lin Feng looked at the setting sun that was already a little slanted, and became interested. He didn't mind defying the scholar: "Then we have to remove Yu first. He changed the abdication system in the past and passed the throne to his son Qi. This should be the biggest conspiracy."

The scholar's face turned red and he didn't say anything.

Lin Feng continued to refute: "As for Yao and Shun, we just need to clarify the background of the two people. The Three Emperors era is the beginning stage of the development of the entire human nation. It can be said that it is poor and careless. To put it bluntly, there is nothing to be greedy for the world. A throne is just a burden in a certain sense. Therefore, it was not uncommon for abdication in that era. In the subsequent era of material richness, a high position represents great power and huge wealth. There has never been a real abdication in history.

As for the 'Sage of Heaven' you said, I would like to ask you, do you know how many years he has been studying abroad?"

The scholar was stunned and hesitated and replied: "According to historical records, it should be fourteen years."

"Then have he been home in the past fourteen years?" Lin Feng smiled sly and asked afterwards.

"In that era, the itinerary could only be walked or taken by carriage, so it might not be much for going back." The scholar answered hesitantly for some reason.

"Then for the Kong family, as a husband and a father, Confucius, who has not returned home for fourteen years and is not a housekeeper, can he be considered a morally noble, responsible, and responsible person? If a person does not even care for his parents, wife and children, will he truly love others and the general public?" Lin Feng asked sternly.

"This..." Faced with such a paradoxical trap of "How can one sweep the world if you don't sweep a house?", the scholar was speechless when asked.

Lin Feng asked again: "In another example, if his personal character is reliable, would it happen if the incident of killing Shao Zhengmao?"

Shaozheng Mao, a doctor in Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, was originally an official position established by the Zhou Dynasty. Here, Shaozheng was the surname Mao. This was an ancient situation where "officials were the surname". During the Lu State, Shaozheng Mao and Confucius both opened private schools and recruited students from other countries. Shaozheng Mao was called "Wenren" in Lu State. His talent in teaching was not inferior to Confucius. He attracted Confucius' students to listen to lectures many times, but only Yan Hui had never been there. In the 14th year of Duke Ding of Lu (496 BC), Confucius became the Grand Secretary of the Lu State. On the seventh day after taking office, he killed Shaozheng Mao under the Dongguan of Lu State, and his body was exposed for three days.

What is the reason for killing this "Sage Confucius"? "There are five reasons for people to be evil... One is to be clear and dangerous, the second is to be indifferent and firm, the third is to be false and distinguish, the fourth is to be strong and remember and broad, and the fifth is to be obedient and wrong. If these five are one of the people, they will inevitably be punished by gentlemen, and they will be both young and Zheng Mao. Therefore, the residence is enough to gather a group of disciples, and the words are enough to disguise the evil people... This is a villain who is a hero and Jie, and he must be punished."

However, if a person's heart is "scientific", knowledgeable, eloquent, and has a weird behavior, and will be beheaded after he spreads gossip, then there will be a few people left in the world. This kind of reason for murder that can be compared with Yue Fei's charge of "Mo Xuyou" in later generations is simply nonsense.

In a word, this "Sage Confucius" casually made up a charge of "demonic people's hearts" and "rumors confusing the public", and killed those who threatened their status in the world. Fortunately, such a "sage" did not make much success in the end. If he really made him a high-ranking official, it would sooner or later be a nightmare for all the people in the world.

The scholar was speechless.

Lin Feng told the people present all the things that Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, and then concluded:

"Since ancient times, there have never been a real saint. There are many people in this world who are wrong with themselves, but they strictly require others to act forever. Therefore, I think that if we want to formulate a fair and just procedure and system, we must treat everyone as a de facto hooligan, consider all possible things that may happen, block all the possibilities of illegal and evil, and take advantage of opportunities, so that the rights and interests of each of us can be protected.

I have issued a book of credit in Shouzhou and have constantly set up many rules, which is to make everyone, every official, including myself, under the constraints of laws and regulations, eliminate evil thoughts and inappropriate thoughts, do the right things, and do beneficial things. If you figure it out, you will find that this is actually a real protection for each of us, because we no longer have to worry, and we will be seized by others at any time."
