Section 28: Shooting at the Science of Science

Jiang Tian misses Song Yi and Liu Baokai very much at the moment, how necessary it is to have such two gags that can lead the conversation. Not only is there no one to help at the moment, but they all stare at themselves without even blinking their eyes. He had to pick up the tea in front of him and pretend to take a sip calmly, this is really pressing the gourd to float the scoop, that talented woman didn't bother herself, who would have thought that this little little observer could let herself capsize in the gutter.

After pouring a sip of tea, I knew that I couldn't drag it out for a long time, so Hu Zou dealt with the past first: "I don't know what books you have attended, but have you ever learned "Guanzi"? ”

Huan'er didn't know why he asked, but he still answered honestly: "I haven't read it yet, I just entered the university." ”

Jiang Tian nodded in a pretentious manner: "I see, in fact, although the four books can teach people to cultivate themselves and Qi family, they are not very useful in governing the country and leveling the world. ”

"The student is foolish and hopes that Mr. will speak clearly." This kid is going to get to the bottom of it.

Jiang Tian was happy, thinking in his heart that as long as you can be led astray by me: "The book "Guanzi" has a profound expression on governing the country. For example, in good years, grain reserves and loans are made to the people in disaster years, and the productive forces of the people are calculated in an overall manner, and the economy is used to drive the people to expand production, so that they will not be overly rich and indulge in hard work. When business is not smooth, the imperial court should come forward to repair the palace road and bridge to drive the circulation of private materials. The key things of the people's livelihood were transferred to the imperial court to open up financial resources, so that China has followed the official salt sales system for 2,000 years. Using the materials urgently needed by the enemy country, the means of guò merchants can control the other party's lifeline, until the enemy country is subdued or even annexed. What do you say is not a great plan for governing the country and leveling the world? What can be done without accurate statistics? ”

Although whether the author of this book is Guan Zhong is still to be discussed, but Qi State did rely on these means to gradually become the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the people of Qi were so rich that every man had money to take two wives, so there was the idiom of Qi people's blessing. And these methods are, in today's terms: macroeconomic control, inflation control, tightening control, quantitative easing, piercing the economy, and setting up barriers to trade war...... Guan Zhong, if you don't kill the traverser, I won't believe it!

Jiang Tian's words were not finished, but he continued to flicker: "This is only the theory of governing the country, not to mention that Guan Zi is also proficient in engineering, agriculture, military and other arts, and there are many records of the wonderful use of mathematics." The pre-Qin princes are hundreds, and the heirs are nothing more than Confucianism, Taoism, law, and soldiers, but these four families are all masters of the law, and it can be said that there is no China without a pipe, how to count it within the four seas? ”

The last rhetorical question finally drew an end to this big set of flickering lines, Jiang Tianxin said: It's not easy to stun you with a small sample, anyway, Guan Zhong has already reached the position of the first strange person in ancient times, and he will answer you with his old man's life deeds, see how nonsense you are.

As a result, Jiang Tian underestimated a child's curiosity, and after thinking for a moment, Huan'er wondered: "According to what Mr. said, Master Confucius taught the pipe, but "Spring and Autumn" is one of the five classics, and everyone in the world must study it, but why is there no pipe after the pipe?" ”

"Alas......" Hearing him ask, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh: "There are more than 10 million people who read the books of sages, and how many people can be called gentlemen?" The past dynasties are just taken out of context and only left in their own favor, the former Mr. Chaoyang Ming said that knowledge and action are one, those Taoist gentlemen have really acted according to the teachings of the sages? Why did the saint Confucius ever want to bind a woman's feet? In the Analects and Mencius, can it be said that it is necessary to preserve heavenly principles and destroy human desires? Since you want to destroy people's desires, why take three wives and four concubines to buy thousands of acres of land? If you want to destroy people's desires, how can you be complacent about being a nun? It can be seen that people may not be good at the beginning, but they are nothing more than hypocrites who use the guise of saints and disciples to commit the evil deeds of male thieves and female prostitutes. ”

As soon as Jiang Tian's words came out, the originally calm classroom instantly stirred, although he didn't mention the name, but this was already a naked insult to Zhu Xiyasheng, not to mention that this is also in the New Chinese Dynasty, if it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, people who say this kind of thing may be able to scold the old masters to death, why can it be said now? Because the emperor once scolded Zhu Xi even harder, saying that he was a scoundrel with a dirty belly, and he had to set up a memorial arch for himself when he became a bitch, Zhu Yuanzhang was simply blind to find him as an ancestor...... Of course, he said this after he ascended the throne.

Wu Yuan's eyes instantly sharpened, he seemed to have gotten what he wanted, even the heirs of Xinxue in this society rarely insulted science so openly, because the power of the world is too strong, most of the scholars in the world are science schools, and against so many peers, it is a powerful person like Wang Shouren, the first bull of the Ming Dynasty, who dare not openly argue with science, who makes the imperial power like science. But with the entry of Jiannu, Confucianism itself has exhausted the vitality of the imperial court in the dog-eat-dog infighting, and today's saints have been acting in accordance with the teachings of science since they inherited the family business and started the army, but they have miraculous results, especially in the last days with heavy troops, you don't care about Jiangnan Donglin and himself. What about the four gentlemen of the Restoration Society, they were famous in Jiangnan back then. Aren't you all thinking about how to become an official? Don't they all advertise that they can solve the people's upside down? Okay, I'll entrust you with the task, can you go into battle and kill the enemy? Or can it raise military funds? Or can it appease the displaced people, what? You can't do any of that! After that, find a corner and squat by yourself so that I don't see you, if you don't like to make trouble for me, I don't care how many protégés you have, all of them will join the army to fight against the Tartars. In this way, after the four gentlemen surrendered to the tartars, they were caught by our majesty and dominated the sacrificial flag, and Qian Qianyi, who said that the water was too cold, was the worst, and the front foot just surrendered, but I didn't expect Nanjing City to be recovered immediately, and then the emperor scalded this old man to death with boiling water in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and it is said that when he was half dead, he was asked by the generalissimo at that time: "Is the water cold?" ”

These angry killing methods have become one of the reasons for the later Donglin Party's counterattack and revenge, but they didn't expect that this martial artist was addicted to murder and killing, and all the Confucian students in the country who were involved with Donglin were unlucky, and all the tools that had impeached him in the book were beheaded, and the whole family was not confiscated to the army, and Zhu Cihong was scared out of the whole process, and it didn't take long to announce the Zen throne, and the Ming Dynasty has since perished. Don't look at him killing people like hemp, but it is very different from Zhu Yuanzhang of the previous dynasty, generally speaking, he only kills the first evil, and his family doesn't care about it, even if he is confiscated and distributed, he is not treated according to the treatment of criminals, and if he dies, he will be forced to immigrate to the frontier, in addition to the house title deed, even his personal gold and silver can be taken with him, so a large number of Jiangnan literati were moved to Gansu and Shanxi, and many were moved to Jianzhou outside the Guan. In the process, the most powerful Confucian foundation in Jiangnan was uprooted, and a large number of fields concentrated in the hands of scholars were redistributed, while at the same time bringing the seeds of education to the sparsely populated frontier areas and enriching the population there. In other words, the emperor is actually optimizing the redistribution of the country's population by attacking the Donglin Party.

But there is a detail to note here, that is, the imperial court openly attacked only the Donglin Party, and it has nothing to do with whether they advocate science or psychology, and the new emperor has also publicly stated many times that Confucianism is only distorted by a small group of people, and he still maintains due respect for Confucius, a sage. This ambiguous attitude makes it impossible for scholars all over the world to find the north, and they don't know whether they should continue to study Bagu to participate in the scientific examination, or should they wait for the imperial court to issue a new examination syllabus? As a result, in this anxious waiting and depressed atmosphere, Confucian scholars, who had nothing to do with Donglin, now joined the ranks of opposing the new policies of the imperial court. So why did the person in front of him who was born in the former Ming Xiucai publicly insult Zhu Xi without care? Could it be that he was keenly aware of the emperor's true intentions? Or is there some hidden secret?

Jiang Tian didn't know, as a traverser, he instinctively looked at this period of history with the eyes of three hundred years later, and he was like a treasure about the various traitorous behaviors of the Donglin Party, so what kind of goods the four gentlemen were in history, it was also clear in history, so he would not have any resistance to crossing the predecessors to kill like this, and even thought that he had killed too little. The whole of China has been plagued by science for nearly 600 years because of Zhu Yuanzhang's narrow peasant thinking, and if this cancer can be quickly eliminated in this era, it can be regarded as a gift to future generations. It's just that these words that he felt made people of this era listen to them, which is tantamount to a thunderclap in his ears, and even the emperor doesn't dare to say it, why did you say it so boldly? Is it the ignorant who are fearless or do they do it on purpose?

On the one hand, these people more or less know the attitude of the current saints towards science, but on the other hand, they are afraid of the current surging reactionary undercurrent, who makes all kinds of officials also science protégés account for the majority, at this time, if any of the sons of Xun Qi stand up and openly advocate the uselessness of Confucianism, it will immediately trigger a battle for the name of the religion between the court and Confucianism, so no matter who wins, The first person to stand up as a target will not die well, so they will not rashly break the balance at this time, which Cheng wants to see such a brave person here.

Just when it was cold, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the people who came to the door turned over and dismounted, and then wiped the sweat on their faces with their sleeves, and finally kept cursing the sun for being too vicious: "This ghost sky doesn't even have a cloud, and I'm really going to burn the young master to death." ”

The whole room watched as this person swaggered into the teahouse, and Jiang Tian also looked at him with slanted eyes: "Knowing that you won't come in a carriage when the sun is scorching?" ”

The person who came was none other than the person who could ease the embarrassing atmosphere at such a critical moment, and he saw him walk in and grab the teapot in front of Jiang Tian and pour a few sips directly into his mouth: "I'm not in a hurry, Brother Song asked me to find you, the machine has been transformed, and they have also tried it, it is indeed much better than before, but after the lens is installed, it is still not satisfactory, so I don't ask you to take a look." ”

Jiang Tian nodded, and then shook his head again: "Not today, I have to go somewhere later." ”
