Authors

Abstract
Pre-Qin Confucianism always highly valued and respected the role and responsibility of the king, the ruler to the people. Because the people have a great role and power, the Pre-Qin Confucianists always demanded that the king and the ruler with practical policies and actions take care of and care for the material life of the people, protect the people, educate and educate the people by virtue, by their own moral examples, that is, by the implementation of the line of Virtue rule towards the people. The Pre-Qin Confucianists, especially Confucius, Mencius and Xun Zi were always aware that, for each citizen, the greatest and highest concern is material life, which is eating, living, and travelling. Therefore, in order for the people to be virtuous and have their "proper behaviour", the king and the ruler must really care about their material life, and must know how to create a sustainable property (permanent property) for them because in this way, they will always be conscientious (always have a stable morality), command the people to do nothing against the seasons and crops of the people, and at the same time have to reduce taxes and other contributions of the people, taking people must be limited, must make people in the world live in peace and happiness. And only then, according to the Pre-Qin Confucianists, can politics prosper and the king be respected by the people.
