When Mencius met Liang Huiwang, Liang Huiwang said, "Hey, is it good for our country to come from afar?" Mencius said to him, "Wang, why talk about profit?" Only benevolence and righteousness. The king said why it is good for our country, and the doctor said why it is good for our family and scholars.
People say why it is good for me, and the country has to pay taxes from top to bottom, which is very dangerous. The country of a thousand riders, the country that kills the monarch, must be the home of a thousand riders; A country that rides a thousand times will kill its king, and a home that rides a hundred times. It's not too much to walk a thousand roads and a hundred roads. Righteousness before righteousness, benefit before harm. Those who leave their relatives without benevolence and righteousness, and those who leave their husbands without benevolence and righteousness. Wang also said that it was only benevolence and righteousness, so why bother to talk about profit! "
Mencius saw the beam in the marsh and Gu Hongyan in the elk, saying, "Are saints also happy about this?" Mencius said to him, "saints take pleasure in it, and saints take pleasure in it." As the poem says: Since the beginning of the Lingtai, we have camped on it, and the people will attack in a few days. Don't be anxious after you start. Shu Ren comes, the monarch is in Lingbi, the elk lies, the Bai Niao crane is in Lingfen, and the monarch is diving. King Wen takes the people's power as a marsh platform and folk music, calling its platform Lingtai and its marsh Lingfen. There are elk, fish and turtles in Qi Le. The ancients enjoyed themselves with the people, so they could enjoy themselves. Tang Shi swears: Time will kill you, and you will die. People want to die with them. Although there are birds and beasts in the pool, why should they be happy? "
King Hui of Liang said, "I am a country, and I devote myself to it. If Hanoi is fierce, it will move its people to Hedong and its millet to Hanoi. Hedong is also fierce. People who observe the politics of neighboring countries have no intention like me. There are not many people in neighboring countries, and there are not many people in our country. What is it? " Mencius said to him, "The king is belligerent. Please use the metaphor of war. Drum filling, weapon company, abandoning soldiers and dragging armor, or stopping at a hundred steps, or stopping at fifty steps. What if the pot is too black? " "No," he said. If you don't walk a hundred steps straight, you will walk. "He said," If Wang knows this, there is no hope that there will be more people than neighboring countries. If you don't go against the farming season, the valley can't beat the grain. If you count, you can't eat. Axes are as heavy as mountains, and wood can't be used. Valley and fish turtles can't fight for food, and wood and wood can't fight for it, which makes people lose their lives and have no regrets. Keeping in good health and dying without regret is the beginning of kingly way. Five acres of houses, trees are mulberry, and fifty people can wear clothes and silks. Chickens, dolphins and dogs are all domestic animals, so there is no time to waste. Seventy people can eat meat. One hundred acres of land, if you don't hurry, how many people in a family can be hungry. I sincerely hope that the godson of the cult will be filial, and the winners will not be on the road. Seventy people eat meat, clothes and silk, and the Lebanese are neither hungry nor cold, but they are not kings and have nothing. Dogs eat people and don't know what to do, nor do they know when they are hungry. When people die, they say, it's not me, it's age. What's the difference between stabbing and killing? Not me, a soldier. The king is innocent, and the people in the world are heavy.
King Hui of Liang said, "I would like to teach in peace." Mencius said to him, "Isn't it unusual to kill people with hammers and blades?" Yue: "There is no difference." "Is it unusual to use the blade and politics?" Yue: "There is no difference." He said, "There is fat in the barn, fat horses in the stable, hungry people and hungry people in the wild. This causes wild animals to eat each other. Animals eat each other, people's evil, for the people's parents, administration can not help but lead animals to eat people, evil lies in for the people's parents? Zhong Ni said: If you start to be a servant, there will be no consequences! It is also used by its image. How can people starve to death? "
King Hui of Liang said, "Jin State, Mo Qiang knows everything in the world. And my body, the East was defeated by Qi, and my eldest son died; West, lost seven hundred miles in Qin; South humiliation and Chu. I'm ashamed of it, and I'm more willing to pour it than the dead. If so, what can I do? " Mencius said to him, "The earth is a hundred miles away, so you can be king. The king is kind to the people, saves punishment, collects taxes thinly, and cultivates the fields easily. A strong man cultivates his filial piety and loyalty in his spare time, serving his father and brothers and his superiors. Can make the system smash Qiang Bing in Qin Chu. When he took his people with him, he was prevented from farming to feed his parents. They were frozen and hungry, and his brother and wife were separated, so he drowned his people. Solo and Liviv, who are the enemies of the king? Therefore, the benevolent is invincible. Please don't doubt Wang. "
Mencius met Liang. Coming out, the speaker said, "I don't look like a gentleman, so I don't understand what I'm afraid of." He suddenly asked,' Is the world evil? I said to him, "It's decided". Who can do that? That's right: people who don't like killing people can do it. Who can match it? Yes:' There is nothing in the world but peace. Is it Miao? If there is drought in July and August, the seedlings will die. When the sky looks like a cloud and it keeps raining, Miao Bo will be very happy. If so, who can resist? There are no people who don't like being human now. If there are people who don't like killing people, all the people in the world will look forward to it. If so, the people will return to it and the water will come down. Who can resist? "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "Have you ever heard of Qi Huan's bronze inscription?" Mencius said to him, "The believers in Zhong Ni have no literary knowledge, and they will have no literary knowledge in the future. If not, it is king. " He said, "What kind of virtue can make you king?" He said: "Protecting the people is king, and you can't defend yourself." He said, "If I am a person, how can I protect the people?" Say, "Yes." Yue: "How do you know I can do it?" He said, "I heard Qiu's nonsense,' The king was sitting in the hall, and he saw cows passing under the hall. He said, "What is a cow?" Right: "I will use Xin Zhong." The king said, "Give it up. I can't stand being wrapped in it. If I am innocent, I will die. " He said, "But why waste Xin Zhong?" He said, "What can be abolished? Sheep can exchange it. " I don't know anything. Say, "Yes." . "He said," the heart is king. The people love the king, and I know the king can't stand it. " The king said, "Of course. Sincerely own the people! Although Qi is young, why do I love a cow? Just can't bear to be swaddled, and innocent people will die. So it is easy to use sheep. " He said, "The king's love for him is no different from the people's love for him. Small is easy to be big, and evil is known? If the king hides his innocence and dies, what can the cattle and sheep do? " Wang smiled and said, "Why are you sincere? I don't love its wealth, but it is easy to use sheep. It is appropriate for people to say I love it. He said, "This is harmless, but it is a kind technology. I can't see the sheep when I see the cow. A gentleman is to an animal, seeing its life, and can't bear to see its death; I can't bear to eat its meat when I hear its voice. Far cooking is also a gentleman. " The king said, "As the poem says, others have a heart, so just think about it. Master is also called. I do what I do, but what I ask is not in my heart. What the master said is of great concern to me. Why is this heart suitable for the king? "yue:" I have reported to the king: my strength is enough to lift a hundred kings, but not enough to lift a feather; It's bright enough to see the end of autumn, but I can't see the salary. What about Wang Xu? " Say, "no" "This demeanor is enough to be a beast, but it is not a person. What is this? However, if you don't lift a feather, you won't exert yourself; If you can't see your salary, you don't need to be clear; People can't see insurance, so they don't have to be kind. Therefore, if the king is not king, he will not be king. " Yue: "What's the difference between those who don't do it and those who can't do it?" Yue: "I can't cross the North Sea with mountains. ".No, I can't. Breaking branches for the elderly, people say: no. Do it if you don't do it. Therefore, the king is not the king, and it is not a mountain that transcends the North Sea, but a broken branch. I am old, and people are old; Young people, as well as young people, can be transported in the palm of your hand. As a poem says, punishment is imposed on widows, but for brothers, it is to defend the family. It's just a matter of increasing the heart. Therefore, kindness is enough to protect the whole world, but not kindness can't protect your wife. Ancient people were bigger than others because they were good at pushing themselves and others. Today's kindness is enough for animals, but not enough for people. What's the only thing? Power knows the weight, degree knows the length, everything goes with the flow, and heart is very important. Please measure it, Wang. Restrain Wang Xing as a soldier, be a dangerous minister, resent the princes, and then be quick with your heart? The king said, "no, I'm quick!" " ! I will look for what I want. ""can you smell it? " Wang smiled and said nothing. Yue: "Because the fat is not enough for the mouth and mouth? Light is not warm enough for body and body? Suppressing color selection is not enough by eyes and? Not enough sound? Isn't it enough to place an order before? All the ministers of the king are enough for them, but is the king right? Said, "No, I won't do it." "Said," however, you can know what the king wants. If you want to expand your territory, you should go to Qin Chu, China and caress Siyi. To do what you want, you must seek what you want. " The king said, "What if it's good? "Holmium:" Almost nothing. You can't fish, but there is no disaster. If you do what you want, do what you want, and do it wholeheartedly, there will be disaster afterwards. " He said, "Can you hear me?" Said, "Who does your majesty think will win the battle between Zou and Chu?" Say and Truman won. "He said," However, a small solid cannot be an enemy of a large solid, a small solid cannot be an enemy of many people, and a weak solid cannot be an enemy of a strong solid. In an ocean within the land, there are nine squares, and one is still being collected. Why is it different from Zou's enemy Chu Tsai? The cover is also the opposite. Today, the king is in power and benevolent, so that all the officials in the world want to stand in the king's dynasty, all the cultivators want to plow in the king's fields, all the businessmen want to hide in the king's city, all the trips deviate from the king's road, and all the people who want to oppose their own king want to sue the king. If so, how to resist? " The king said, "I am too weak to get in." May the master help me with my ambition and teach me to understand. Although I am not sensitive, please try. " He said, "only a scholar can become a persevering person without ceasing to produce." If the people, there is no constant production, because there is no perseverance, if there is no perseverance, let go of evil luxury, all for yourself. It is a waste of people to be caught committing a crime and then punished. A benevolent person is in power, and there is no people. Therefore, if a wise monarch controls the people's property, he can support his parents and wife, he can be satisfied with life in happy years, and he can avoid death in fierce years. Then drive away the good ones, and the people will be lenient. Today, we should also take care of people's property, and it is not enough to just adopt parents and livestock wives. Happy years have been bitter for a lifetime, and fierce years are inevitable. It's just saving lives. Are you afraid to support it? I am happy to treat ceremony and justice! If the king wants to do it, he must be afraid. Five acres of houses are sparse, trees are mulberry, and fifty people can wear clothes and silks. Chickens, dolphins and dogs are all domestic animals, so there is no time to waste. Seventy people can eat meat. One hundred acres of land, don't hurry, a family of eight, can be hungry. I sincerely hope that the godson of the cult will be filial, and the winners will not be on the road. Old people eat meat, and the people are not hungry or cold, but they are not kings. "
Liang's Mencius
Suddenly I saw Mencius saying, "Violence is seen in the monarch, and the monarch is violent with Le Yan, but violent is not correct." What is joy? Mencius said: "If the king is happy, Qi will be almost ordinary! One day, he met the king and said, "What does the king think of Zhuangzi's enjoyment?" The king changed color and said, "I can't be good at the music of the former dynasty, but I can be good at secular music." "Yue:" If the king is happy, Qi will be almost ordinary! Today's happiness is ancient happiness. " He said, "Can you hear me? Yue: "Who is happy, alone or with others?" Say, "don't be with others. Yue said, "Who is happier with fewer people or more people?" "He said," If you don't follow the crowd. " "I please for the king. Today, the king likes to play drums here. When the people heard the king's bells and drums, they didn't care about the drums. They looked up and frowned and said to each other,' My king is good at drumming. Why did my husband make me so extreme? Father and son don't meet, brother and sister are separated. Today, the king is hunting here. When people heard the sound of the king's chariots and horses and saw the beauty of the feathers, they all looked up and frowned and said to them,' My king is good at hunting. Why did my husband make me so extreme? Father and son don't meet, brother and sister are separated. Without him, there would be no joy for the people. Today, the king likes to play drums here. When people hear the king's bells and drums, they care about the sound of drums. They were happy and told each other,' My king is seldom ill, how can he enjoy drumming? Today, Wang Tian is hunting here. When people heard the sound of Wang chariots and horses and saw the beauty of his feathers, they told each other happily:' My uncle Wang is seldom ill. How can he hunt in the fields? Without him, you can play with people. Today, if the king enjoys happiness with the people, he will become a king. "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "King Wen is seventy miles away. What's the matter? " Mencius said to him, "There is something in the biography." Say, "What if I get older?" Say, "People still think it's small." He said, "I'm trapped, and it's 40 miles away, but people still think it's big." Why? " He said: "The king of Wen is seventy miles away, and the grass will go and the rabbit will go. With the people, do people think it is small and inappropriate? At first, I went as far as the territory and asked about the national ban before I dared to enter. I heard that there is a 40-mile-long area in the suburbs, and killing its elk is like murder. It is 40 miles, because it is trapped in the countryside and it is not appropriate for people to think it is big. "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "Is there any way to make friends with neighboring countries?" Mencius said to him, "Yes. Only the benevolent can minimize the major events. Therefore, Ge and Shi Kunyi. Only a wise man can make small things big. Therefore, the king of Qi was embarrassed, not Wu. People who do big things and small things are also happy. People who take small things seriously are also afraid of the sky. Happy people protect the world, and those who fear the sky protect their country. There is a poem that says: fear the danger of heaven and protect it at the right time. " The king said, "What a wonderful conversation! I am sick, I am brave. " He said, "Wang, please don't try to be brave. The husband caressed the sword and looked at it:' Do you dare to be me? This man is brave, and the enemy is also a man. Wang invited. Shi Yun: Wang Hess was angry, so he ordered his whole trip to contain Ju 'an in order to be faithful to Hu Zhou and the world. This article Wang Zhiyong also. King Wen was furious and settled the people all over the world. The book says: Heaven sent down the people as teachers, but it says that God helps all sides, but I am guilty and innocent. How dare the world surpass my ambition? It is a shame for the king of Wu to walk the world alone. This prince of Wu is very brave. The prince of Wu was furious and settled the people all over the world. Now the king is angry and the people of the world are safe, and the people are afraid that the king will not be brave. "
Qi Xuanwang sees Mencius in the Snow Palace. The king said, "Are saints also happy about this?" Mencius said to him, "Yes. If people are not allowed, they are not on it. No, it's not the above, nor is it. For the people, but not with the people, nor is it. People are happy when they are happy. People have their worries, and people have their worries. Joy in the world, worry in the world, but not the king, nothing. Qi Jinggong, a former scholar, asked Yan Zi, "I want to watch the dance in the morning, go south along the sea and put it on the evil soul. How can I compare with the views of the former king? Yan Zi said to him, "Ask." . The son of heaven is suitable for the princes to patrol the hunting, and the hunters also keep it. The courtiers reported to the emperor, and the debriefer described his position. Nothing more than that, the spring province is insufficient for cultivation, and the autumn province is helpful. Xia Yan said: If my king doesn't swim, why should I rest? If my king is not ready, how can I help him? A trip to Henan is a vassal degree. Today, it's different. If you study at work, you will have food. If you are hungry, you will have food. If you are tired, you will be embarrassed. If you hide, you will be ordered to abuse the people. If you eat and drink, you will linger, and if you die, you will worry about the princes. Forget the flow from the flow, forget the connection from the flow, forget the famine from the dissatisfaction of animals, forget the death from music and wine. My late king had no pleasure in staying. His journey of famine and death was just what you did. Gong Jing said, "The great commandment is to stay in the country and leave the house in the suburbs, so he began to make up for this deficiency, and called on his master to say,' Be the pleasure of talking with the monarch and ministers. Gai Zhengzhao Jiao Zhao is also. In his poem, he said: What is a beastmaster? Animal king, good king. "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "People call me the ruins of Tang Ming. Has it been destroyed? " Mencius said to him: "The hall of kings is the hall of husbands. If the king wants to be king, he will not destroy it. " The king said, "Have you ever heard of Wang Zheng?" Yes, he said, "Yesterday, Wang Tong was different, the tiller was 9 1, and the official was a legacy. He shut down the market without asking for it, and he didn't ban Zeliang, the sinner never dies. An old man without a wife is widowed, an old man without a husband is widowed, an old man without a son is alone, and a young man without a father is lonely. These four are the poor people in the world who have no complaints. If Wang Wen establishes a government and gives benevolent policies, he must first consider four things. A poem says, "You can be rich, but you are sad to be alone." The king said, "Good word! Said, "If Wang is good, why not?" ? "The king said," I am ill, but I am good at goods. He said, "In the past, Gongliu was a good product. As the poem says, it's a warehouse, with a grain wrapped in a bag. As soon as I think about it, I run out, bow and arrow, go out to recuperate, and then set off. The former residence has a warehouse, the travelers have food, and then they can go. If he is a good product and shares it with the people, what does it have to do with the king? The king said, "I am sick and lustful." "Yes," he said, "in the past, the king was a lecherous and liked queer concubines. Shi Yun: Tan Fu, an ancient Qi Huangong, came to the DPRK to lead the horse and lead the West Liangshan Lake. As for Qi Xia, he and Jiang Nv and Yu Yu. At that time, there will be no resentment at home and no husband outside. If the king is lewd and is with the people, what does it have to do with the king? "
Mencius said to Qi Xuanwang, "Wang Zhichen entrusted his wife to his friends, but if he wandered around Chu, he would freeze his wife. So what? " The king said, "Abandon it." He said, "What if a judge can't rule a judge?" The king said, "It's done." He said, "What if we don't cure it within four borders?" Wang Gu talked about him.
When Mencius met Qi Xuanwang, he said, "The so-called motherland is not a tree, but a minister of the world. The king has no relatives or ministers. The former entered, but I don't know if it will die today. " The king said, "Why can't I give it up when I know it's incompetent?" He said: "When you enter a sage, if you have to do it, you will make inferiority more than respect and sorrow more than sorrow. Can he be careless? Both left and right are virtuous, and cannot be done; Doctors are all virtuous, not for; People in China all say that they are virtuous, so observe and see how virtuous they are, and then use them. If both sides say no, they won't listen; All doctors say no and don't listen; People in China say no, then observe it, see it, and then go. Both sides can kill, don't listen; All doctors said they could kill, but they didn't listen; People in China say that if you can kill, you can kill it. Then, look around and see what you can kill, and then kill it. So, the people of China killed it. In this way, you can be a parent. "
Qi Xuanwang asked, "What is the reason?" Mencius said to him, "There is something in the biography." Said, "Can I kill my monarch?" As the saying goes, "a good thief is a thief, a righteous thief is a remnant, and a remnant thief is a husband." I have heard of killing my husband, but I have never heard of killing the king. "
When Mencius saw Qi Xuanwang, he said, "If it is a huge room, it will make workers ask for a big tree. If the worker gets a big tree, Wang Xi thinks he can beat him. If the craftsman is young, the king will get angry and think that he will not win his job. My wife learned it when she was young, but she wanted to wait until she was strong. The king said, what if you give up what you have learned and follow me? Today, there is a rough jade here. Although it is thousands of dollars, it will be carved by jade people. As for governing the country, what is the difference between giving up what you have learned and learning from me and teaching jade people to carve jade? "
Qi people defeated Yan and won. King Xuan asked, "Either China people don't take it or China people take it. Take the country of Wancheng and cut the country of Wancheng, and lift it at the age of 50. If there is not enough manpower, don't answer it. There will be disaster. Here, what? " Mencius said to him, "Yan Min can take it if he likes." . In ancient times, there were people who did things, and the king of Wu also. Take it, Yan Min is not happy, so don't take it. In ancient times, there were people who did things, and Wen Wang also. With the country of Wancheng, the country of Wancheng was cut down and the pot pulp was eaten to welcome Julian Waghann. Is there any other way to avoid fire and water? No matter how deep the water is, no matter how hot the fire is, there is only luck. "
Qi people cut Yan and take it, and the princes will seek to save Yan. Wang Xuan said, "How do you treat those who try to attack me?" Mencius said to him: "I heard that seventy miles is the rule of the world, and soup is also." Never heard of people who are afraid of thousands of miles. The book says: Tang Yizheng, since Ge began, has been believed by the world, levied in the east, resented in the west, levied in the south and resented in the north. I am the queen? The popularity of the people is like a drought, and so is Yun Ni. Not only those who return to the city, but also the cultivators remain the same. If it rains, people will be very happy. The book says: After teasing me, I later became a Soviet. Today, Yan abused his people, and Suo Luo Zheng did it. People thought they would save themselves from the mire and eat the meat in the pot to welcome Julian Waghann. If you kill his father and brother, it will be a burden to his children, destroy his ancestral temple and move his heavy weapons, so what? The world is firmly afraid of the strength of Qi, which is twice as strong as benevolent government today. It is the soldiers who move the world. If the king orders soon, he will retaliate against Ni, stop his heavy weapons, find and set up a monarch and then go, which is enough. "
Zou and Lu coaxed each other, and Mu Gong asked, "I killed 33 people, but the people didn't die. If you punish it, you can't win it; If you don't punish him, you will see him die for a long time without saving him. If so, what can I do? " Mencius said to him, "The years are not good, people are hungry, the old and the weak turn into gullies, and the strong are in all directions, with thousands of people in all directions." Besides, your granary is strong and the national treasury is full, so I can't tell you. Slow down and cripple. Ceng Zi said: precept is not the way, and conduct is not the way. Husband and people should do the opposite now, which has nothing to do with you. Benevolent people die on it. "
Teng Wengong asked, "Teng Xiaoguo, is it Qi or Chu? Everything is harmonious and Chu? " Mencius said to him, "It's a plan, beyond my reach. If not, then yes. You can also dig a pool to build a city and live with the people. You are dead, and the people are gone. "
Teng Wengong asked, "I'm afraid that the Qi people are going to build Xue. What can I do? " Mencius said to him, "In the past, when the King lived in the tomb, Di Ren invaded it, so he went down to Qishan and had to take it. If you do good deeds, future generations will have kings. The gentleman's entrepreneurship is sustainable, and the husband's success is heaven. What do you like? Just be strong. "
"Teng Wengong asked," Teng, a small country, if you try your best to serve a big country, it is unforgivable. What can it do? " Mencius said to him, "In the past, the King lived in the palace, and Di people invaded it. Things of leather coins, things of dogs and horses, and things of pearls and jade cannot be exempted from customs. " It belongs to the elderly. He told me: What do you want, my land? I heard that a gentleman does no harm to others. Why do the second and third sons suffer without a monarch? I will go. Get rid of the shackles and surpass Liangshan, and the city will live under Qishan. People say, "the benevolent cannot be lost." People who follow it are like returning to the city. Or: the world is also guarded, not something the body can do, so don't go to death. Please choose between the two. "
Mr. Lu Ping wanted to go out, and the man who captured the warehouse asked, "When I went out, I was ordered by the Ministry. I have been driven away by Yu, and I still have some unknown things. I dare invite you. " Qi Huangong said, "I will meet Mencius." He said, "why, what did you do in front of your husband to make yourself healthy?" Think it is virtuous? Rites and righteousness come from sages, and Mencius lost more after than before. You don't know. " Gong said, "Promise." Yue Zhengzi came into the room and said, "Didn't Jun Xi see Monk?" He said, "Or tell me that Mencius lost his life after his death. So I don't want to see it. " He said, "What do you mean by supercilious? There are scholars before, and doctors after; There are three Ding before, and five Ding after? " Said, "no, it's called the beauty of clothes." Yue: "It's not the so-called surplus, but the difference between the rich and the poor." Le Zheng said to Mencius, "If you sue the monarch, you will come to see him. If you have a hidden warehouse, you will love him. Come if you fail. " He said, "Do it or do it, stop it or do it. Stop it. No one can do it. If I hadn't met Lv Hou, it would have been heaven. How can the son of the Cang Cang family not know me? "
Qiu Yi who is good at communicating with the country. Let Qiu Yi teach two people to learn, one to concentrate on learning, and only Qiu Yi listens; Although a person listens, he thinks that the swan is coming and wants to pay for the bow and shoot it to death. Although he learned from it, it was impossible. Is it because his intelligence is not as good as the former? That's not true.
