第十九章（2 / 4）

hearts，Only then will you be able to get more local talent，Because of this，Xuzhou will also be stable。

chen mu：Sir is right，I respectfully accept your teachings。

陈牧：今国用不足，寡人欲卖官鬻爵，可乎？先生以为如何？

萧凡：臣以为不可，金银得官者，桓灵之举也，大王设官爵，当网罗天下英豪，与之共成王业，何有以官买金邪？非明主所为也。

陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人知过矣。

chen mu：Today， the state budget is in deficit，I want to make money by selling my positions，Sir， what do you think？

xiao fan：I think，I do not approve of you doing this，Only the king of the dead country will make money by selling his position，The Holy King sets up officials，You should use it to recruit great talent，Then， you build merit with them，Why sell positions to make money，That's not what a holy king should do。

chen mu：Sir is right，I was wrong。

陈牧：寡人欲追尧舜之道，先生何以教我？

萧凡：臣以为，道德之厚，莫尚于轩、唐，仁义之隆，莫彰于舜、禹。欲继轩、唐之风，将追舜、禹之迹，必镇之以道德，弘之以仁义，举善而任之，择善而从之。不择善任能，而委之俗吏，既无远度，必失大体。惟奉三尺之律，以绳四海之人，欲求垂拱无为，不可得也。故圣哲君临，移风易俗，不资严刑峻法，在仁义而已。

xiao fan：I think，In terms of morality， no one can compare to Xuan Tang，In terms of benevolence and righteousness， no one can compare to Shun yu，If you are going to emulate them，Then you have to promote morality，and uphold righteousness，You should select people and appoint them，And you need to listen to their right opinions，If not， you will not reach the realm of the Holy King，If you rely on the rule of law alone， you will not be able to govern the country well，Therefore， the Holy King governs the country by promoting positive energy，They rely on morality， not harsh laws。

chen mu：Sir is right，I accept your teachings。

陈牧：寡人闻，人君之治莫大于道德教化，何也？先生教我。

萧凡：臣以为，非仁无以广施，非义无以正身。惠下以仁，正身以义，则其政不严而理，其教不肃而成矣。然则仁义，理之本也；刑罚，理之末也。仁义积，则致太平；刑罚积，则致危亡。是以圣帝明王，皆敦德化而薄威刑也。

陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人受教矣。

chen mu：I heard，It is the most important thing for the king to promote morality and education，Sir taught me why？

xiao fan：I think，If you are not merciful， you cannot fa
