2. King Hui said, "You know, old man, Wei was once a great power in the world. But by this time, the East was defeated by Qi, and even my eldest son died. The west gave 700 miles of land to Qin; The south was insulted by Chu. I am very ashamed of these things and hope to avenge all the victims. What can I do? " Mencius replied, "As long as Fiona Fang has a hundred miles of land, it can conquer the whole world. If the king is kind to the people, he will reduce the punishment, collect less taxes, plough deeply and weed in time; Let able-bodied people take the time to cultivate filial piety and loyalty, serve their parents and brothers at home, and respect their elders and superiors when they go out. So that they can make sticks and attack Qin Chu's army with strong armor and sharp knives and guns. " Because the rulers of Qin Chu deprived their people of productive time, they could not support their parents through intensive cultivation. Parents are hungry and cold, and brothers, wives and concubines are scattered here and there. They threw the people into the abyss and the king attacked them. Who will resist you? Therefore, it is said:' People who practice benevolent policies are invincible in the world.' Your majesty, please don't doubt it! "
3. Liang said, "I am willing to teach with peace of mind." Mencius said to him, "It is unusual to kill with a sharp weapon." Yue: "There is no difference." "Is it unusual to use the blade and politics?" Yue: "There is no difference." He said, "You have fat, there are fat horses in the stable, and there are hungry people and hungry people in the wild. This rate is cannibalism! Animals kill each other, and people hate it; It is inevitable for people's parents and administrators to lead animals to eat people. What is evil is also for the parents of the people. Zhong Ni said: "The initiator will not have any consequences!" It's also used to make it look like a person. How did it make people starve to death? "
4. Liang said, "I'm happy to listen to your advice." Mencius replied, "Is there a difference between hitting X with a stick and killing X with a knife?" Liang said to him, "There is no difference." Mencius asked again, "Is there a difference between killing with a knife and killing with politics?" Liang replied, "There is no difference." Mencius went on to say, "There is fat in the kitchen and strong horses in the stable, but the people are starving, and those lying in the wild are starving." This is equivalent to the superior person leading the beast to eat people! Beasts kill each other, but people still hate them; As the parents of ordinary people, if they engage in politics, it will inevitably lead to beasts eating people. How can they be the parents of ordinary people? Confucius said,' Whoever buries clay figurines first will have no children!' This is only because the puppet is too much like a living person to be buried with him. How can people starve to death alive? "
