Chapter 108: The Key Is Food?

Zhu Zaiyu was silent, and after thinking hard for a long time, he said cautiously, "Roughly, it seems to make some sense, and it has indeed been a little colder than before in recent years, but the climate temperature difference is such a thing as Gao Longwen, you can just talk to me, let's just discuss and study, but don't preach it at will, after all, there are still many supporters of the theory of heaven and man induction." ”

Gao pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that no matter whether Zhu Zaiyu believes in the statement of Xiaoice River Period, at least he should think that he is a person who is willing to think, so he will even care about himself.

However, Gao Pragmatic smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Jiufeng for mentioning it, but it's okay to do this, I really learned the same line, from Wang Junchuan Gong to my Sanbo High School Xuangong, but I have always opposed the induction of heaven and man, and I haven't seen anyone shout and kill us." ”

Gao pragmatic words are really not nonsense, the Ming Dynasty Shixue, especially Wang Tingxiang and Gao Gong's lineage of Shixue, has always been clearly opposed to the induction of heaven and man and all kinds of ghosts and gods, not only verbally opposed, but also written into the work, and even written into the chapter, so many years, really have not been shouted and killed.

Of course, there must be academic debates, but that's basically a war of words, a great battle of pens, and there is no way to sublimate.

This is not surprising, heretical thinkers like Li Zhen can live well, which is enough to prove that the Ming Dynasty has no public opinion control at all, especially for scholars, except for chanting "Down with the tyrannical rule of the Zhu family", it may be a little troublesome, everything else belongs to the category of academic controversy and will not be on the platform.

You know, compared with the study of the world, Li Zhen, who called himself a "Confucian heretic", is more radical in his thinking, and he even dares to openly oppose Confucius's view of right and wrong as the standard of right and wrong, and the sharp edge of criticism is directed at the Song Dynasty Dali Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai, Zhu Xi, and denounced Cheng Zhu Lixue as pseudo-Taoism, and he also advocated human equality, respect for women, freedom of marriage, and even advocated anarchism!

Li Zhen is not dead, he is pragmatic and afraid of wool?

As for the problem of heaven and man induction and even Cheng Zhu Lixue, it was not put in the eyes of Gao Pragmatic, the reason is identity! If Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Ma Fang, Liu Xian and others stand up and say that they oppose Cheng Zhu Lixue, they will definitely be criticized and criticized, but if he stands up pragmatically and says that he opposes Cheng Zhu Lixue, he will definitely not!

Everyone in the world knows that he is the successor of Gao Gong's mantle, and Gao Gong's practical thought is inherited from Wang Tingxiang, how did Wang Tingxiang criticize Cheng Zhu Lixue? He said that Cheng Zhu Lixue is "pseudo-Confucianism"! Gao Gong is the same, directly reprimanding Cheng Zhu Lixue as "far away from human feelings and thinking of heavenly principles"!

Gao Pragmatism is not afraid of criticizing Xinxue, because Wang Tingxiang also attacked the Xinxue theory of mind as heretical! The real school believes that all things are composed of "qi", and "qi" is divided into yin and yang states, and can be transformed into different forms, so "qi" itself is a physical object, and the idea is close to the elements.

However, it seems that although Zhu Zaiyu is a legal saint, he is limited to his identity and does not study these topics that may be "politically related", Gao Pragmatic thought about it and decided to introduce him a little.

In the past, Wang Junchuan Gong believed that the weather and stars could not be speculated, and he said that the sun and the moon were eclips. Xingwei Huixiao, the calendar can be reversed, and it can be deduced and known, it is a certain degree of heaven, of course, it is said to be the administration of the master, isn't it false? This does not make sense.

He also said that the heavens are also the countries of the world, and the changes in the heavens are all condemned by the king of China. It is thought that thousands of countries should be equalized, and the good and evil of the monarch's administration may not be equal in every day. Mr. Jiufeng knows that the student is from the Xinzheng Gao clan and has a practical heirloom, so he should know the student's position. ”

Zhu Zaiyu laughed when he heard it, "That's it, but Zhu is too worried." But the smile was just like that, and soon he became serious, "In this case, regardless of whether this Xiaoice River period is indeed something, let's say that there is, but what does it have to do with the cooperation between King Zheng's Mansion and you Gao Longwen?" ”

Gao pragmatic sighed, "Once that situation really occurs, there will definitely be displaced people again, once there are too many displaced people, how will the imperial court deal with it?" A few years ago, the method of recruiting displaced people to open mines and factories was originally out of desperation, but when I look back, it seems to be the same way."

Zhu Zaiyu shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it's different from the previous time, the previous time the displaced people actually came from Shandong and Huaibei generation, and Henan Province was not seriously affected, and the reason why you can use the profits of Henan to open mines and factories to feed these people is that Henan actually has food, but those displaced people can't afford it." But after they have been solicited by you, they have something to do and savings, so that they can have money to buy food. ”

Zhu Zaiyu's face was grim: "However, according to what you just said, once disasters break out, not only Henan, but also Beizhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places will be affected on a large scale, and then the northern provinces will probably be short of food. ”

This is to the key point, the Xiaoice River period itself is not fatal, at least not to say how many people directly froze to death during the Xiaoice River period. What is really fatal is that the disaster of the Xiaoice River period has seriously affected the grain production in the north, and the grain output in the north is not comparable to that in the south. So if the north is still seriously affected, there will definitely be a huge gap!

No matter how the land is distributed, the food produced on the ground in the north is not enough to feed so many people in the north, and it is the root cause of the chaos in the north. And the bigger this shortfall, the bigger the chaos.

Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, the three major high-yield crops in South America, of course, Gao Pragmatic knows, but his power in the south is insufficient, and the people he sent have not been able to get seeds so far, but he has found out that the Francos on the Luzon side seem to have these three things mentioned by the eldest young master on hand, and they are still thinking about whether they can smuggle some out.

In this case, there are people who know the so-called Franco-Romans of Luzon, who are actually Spaniards, but there is no official name for "Spain" at the moment, and the current Spain is actually a co-monarchy federation composed of the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Aragon and the Netherlands Low Territories. However, only the Kingdom of Castile had the right to colonize overseas.

Spain is not a second-rate power in later generations, but a true king, whose predecessor, Charles V, once said, "The sun never sets on my land." "So the world's first empire on which the sun never sets is it.

At this time, Spain, on the 6th World War, there was a great Spanish phalanx that beat Europe, and on the naval battle, there was a world-famous Armadama, which was the highlight moment, but the Dutch bourgeois revolution that dragged Spain half to death has now begun, and in another ten years, the Armada will suffer its first defeat, and the Maurice phalanx will replace the Spanish phalanx, but that is a later story.

According to the terms of the Treaty of Tordesillas, Pope Alexander VI divided all of America except Brazil to Spain, and these Spaniards in Luzon came all the way west from the Americas in the east of the Pacific Ocean, and also brought some seeds of high-yield crops in the Americas.

However, the Spaniards had not been in Luzon for many years, and had not even fully occupied the territory of the Philippines, and the seeds of the high-yielding crops of the Americas were still closely monitored.

Gao Pragmatic didn't have much power in the south of the Ming Dynasty, so he couldn't reach out to Luzon.
