Chapter 59: Tu Qiang

There are many teahouses and hostels around the South Gate, and the main source of customers for these teahouses is Tai students or people related to Tai students.

At this time, young people do not love clubbing, but love teahouses. Clubbing writhes the body, and the teahouse writhes the mind, and it's hard to say who is smarter of the two. In the era when there were no bars, an important place for young people to exchange ideas and promote feelings was the teahouse, which was not only a place for talented and beautiful people. At the same time, it is also the best place for various trends of thought and propaganda.

Taixue is the center of young people, the feudal society has developed to its heyday, the atmosphere of the new concept of governing the country is very strong, there are debates almost every day, there are Taixue celebrity speeches every other day, the teahouse has naturally become the best place for young people to express their opinions and discuss current affairs, and their remarks will naturally inevitably escape the eyes of all walks of life "Bole".

Gan Tang is such a 'Bole', after several years of guidance from the "Huaxia Weekly", the criticism of some Confucian dross, the extent of the influence on these relatively open-minded young people, we must go into them to have a general understanding.

Today, in addition to a group of Zhejiang villagers, Lu Mengxiong also brought in a few like-minded friends. Soon after taking a seat, the topic immediately turned to "Huaxia Weekly", and everyone was very enthusiastic and devoted. What surprised Gan Tang even more was that Lu Mengxiong was actually very serious about anarchism.

He said some things at the meeting, but he was more rigid and monotonous, and it didn't resonate with everyone. Speaking of this, he stopped to look at everyone, and saw that most of them were puzzled, only Gan Tang, who was sitting in the distance, nodded.

When Lu Mengxiong came in, he noticed this uninvited guest, and when he saw Gan Tang's expression, he was even more curious about Gan Tang in his heart, and he didn't know if he really understood or pretended.

"Looking at history, since the Yan Huang Dynasty and until the Xia Qi Dynasty, the rulers of a country have been selected by the previous monarch from their descendants or close branches to ascend the throne, that is, the 'Zen concession system'. Therefore, the development of society is constantly progressing. The emperors of the third dynasty of the Xia Shang dynasty only chose heirs from their descendants, and the choice of this side became narrow. After Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty ruled the country with Confucianism, and after 'deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone', the Confucian concept of governing the country paid attention to the order of the elders and the young, and the successors could only be the eldest sons and grandchildren, and the fate of the country and the people was handed over to luck. I strongly agree with the views of the "China Weekly". ”

Lu Mengxiong said solemnly, and then deliberately glanced at Gan Tang, which made Gan Tang feel inexplicable.

Chen Fu, a Jiangxi scholar sitting next to him, said: "Brother Lu, but there is one thing I disapprove of in "Huaxia Weekly", 'empty talk misleads the country, and hard work prospers the country'!" In the affairs of the country and the world, sometimes it is ridiculous to see people who talk a lot and are extremely confident. However, many ideas always come out of this rhetoric, and if you really work hard and never discuss it with others, it will inevitably be biased. ”

"That's right", another Tai student named Leng Xin interjected: "In the past few hundred years, I have also changed the law several times in Great Xia, and there are many failures, but when it comes to principles, it is always inseparable from the three items of enriching the people, strengthening the army, and taking the soldiers. However, to get to the root of it, what is the fundamental reason why my army and people in Great Xia are weak and unable to take soldiers to take the law, every time I talk about it, I am thinking about such things. ”

Peng Mingzhi said: "Those who talk about national affairs are going to continue their studies for the sake of the saints and opening peace for all generations...... On the one hand, it is vibrant, on the other hand, it is dull, in short, everyone is in a hurry, and they don't know the essentials.

After listening to the expositions of Chen Fu, Leng Xin, Peng Mingzhi and others for a while. Lu Mengxiong said: "Isn't it very simple? Everything has a basic rule, there is its root, if you can see clearly, maybe you are more sure of the future development, you can see the problem more clearly, in fact, I have always had several changes before the Great Xia, are tinkering on the basis of the original, if you want to completely solve these problems, only to break the original system, with a thorough revolution, to establish a new social order, who blocks the country from becoming rich and the people strong, will crush whom. So that social resources are no longer in the hands of the few. Only by mobilizing the enthusiasm of all people can we truly make the country prosperous and strong, and the people can live a happy life. ”

After Lu Mengxiong finished speaking, he stood up and hugged his fist to Gan Tang and said: "This brother, it seems that it is the first time I have met, and I see that you seem to have different opinions on our views. ”

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Gan Tang really couldn't believe it, if he hadn't known the course of history, how would he look at these people now. What about the supporters of the Shviks.

"Otherwise, such a change would cause a great deal of destruction, impoverishing the lives of the people, and an overly violent change would destroy the original social order, and most of the people who now have the resources of society are the scholars and scholars, who are the mainstay of governing the country. Once these people are liquidated, even for the purpose of killing, social production will be destroyed, and the proletarians will not be able to govern the country, and it will be more difficult to resist foreign invasions, so the cost of change will be too heavy. ”

At this time, two people came in from outside, one of them looked very dissatisfied after hearing his words, while talking loudly, while striding over, the other person hurriedly grabbed him, smiled and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm drunk, this is my friend Li Mo'an, he is this quick temper, please forgive me." ”

In recent years, Gan Tang has been using the "Huaxia Daily" to promote new ideas, and pay attention to the acceptance of new things by these young Taixue students, and several of them here are influential figures in Taixue's new ideas, especially Lu Mengxiong and Shi Zui, Lu Mengxiong is the leader of the new ideas outside the south gate of Taixue, while Shi Zui is the leader of the new life in the city.

Gan Tang worked hard and planned to make good friends with these celebrities. Said vaguely: "I don't have your experience, but I believe that what Brother Shi said must have some truth, I think all changes can only be determined by the actual situation of the whole society." ”

After hearing this, Shi Zui turned to Lu Mengya and said, "You are Lu Mengxiong." I have read the "Gadfly Attached to the Body of the Country" that you wrote in the "Huaxia Daily", which is really a knife and a knife, hitting the key point of the family, and it is really a rare good article. Shi Zui sighed again, "With the face of the current family, you must have suffered a lot. ”

Lu Mengxiong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately felt like a confidant, he took a great risk to write this article, which caused a lot of repercussions in the society, and also angered the entire Jiangnan clan, so that he almost died in prison, and his family was finally released on bail with great difficulty. Under the manipulation of some well-intentioned people, he was restored to his qualification as a student, but he changed from an inner student to an outer student.

The thought of this shot hatred in his eyes. Snorted contemptuously: "Wealthy families like Xie, Lu, Zheng, and Shi should have been defeated a long time ago, if such a family is not defeated, there will be no hope for Great Xia." ”

"Yes, only by defeating such a moth can Great Xia have hope, and the only way to save Great Xia is to save it.

Why did this benevolent brother say that such a change was not suitable for Great Xia? Peng Mingzhi was burly and had a loud voice, and his words came directly at Gantang.

From Gan Tang's point of view, Shi Zui and Li Mo'an are more moderate in their thinking, while Lu Mengxiong is more radical in their thinking.

Gan Tang paused slightly: "Our dynasty originally established the country by force, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, the armed forces were strong, but the subsequent rebellions made Taizu see the drawbacks of this matter, and then suppressed the martial arts and Chongwen, and governed our dynasty in a strong and weak way. But now, it has also caused many drawbacks, making it difficult for us to resist foreign enemies, and under many pressures, in order to keep the strong and still strong, but also to make the weak branches, and the wealth still flows to the tip. The weaker the force, the greater the external pressure, the greater the pressure, the weaker the force, and thus the cycle is formed, from which there is no liberation......"

Shi Zui let out a breath and looked at Gan Tang: "If we can solve the problem above the little brother and strengthen the weak branches a little, I will naturally have the spare strength to take care of the force, which is a problem that needs to be solved by any strategy to enrich the people...... If we can make the armed forces strong and foreign insults dare not invade, our DPRK will naturally be able to breathe, and this is a problem that needs to be solved in the strategy of strengthening the army. It is also for enriching the people, strengthening the army, and extending the country...... Unfortunately, it's all empty words. ”,

Shi Zui sighed: "If you just talk about one strategy, it seems that everyone has a way, even if there are several strategies in parallel, there is no problem." But the situation of the strong and weak branches of our dynasty has been established, for example, it is a big tree, the strong branches are not full, and there is a little nutrients, and the weak branches are also taken away by the strong branches. The problem is how to guide this strong stem so that it naturally flows nutrients to the weak branches. What do you think? ”

Gan Tang thought about it and nodded with a smile: "Well, it makes sense, and you're talking about ...... Let those big landlords and big businessmen who have become powerful - like the four great families - and those royal relatives and relatives, rich and noble idlers, willingly take out the money they earn, and make the people rich......"

Shi Zui smiled and did not deny it: "It is true that some scholars are angry, but there is no other way." Of course, everything in the world is forward, it is impossible to retreat, the world is saying that when Shenzong and Huizong were prosperous, the country was rich and the people were strong, but it was impossible to think of retreating, the problem was how to guide it to the next step, so that these people were willing to take the money out, not a cycle, unrealistic, and useless, everything needs to consider the implementation of a ring of flow. Therefore, there needs to be a way for these people to take the money out and put it into the poor, and then it must be guaranteed that both parties can make money, and then continue to do so without diminishing the wealth of the strong and the weak, but alleviating the weakness...... Perhaps, you can consider letting the imperial court intervene first. ”

"Wang Anshi has changed the law? …… The reform of the law tried to get the imperial court to let the tax be spread into the acres of land, and not to use the poll tax as the main source of tax for the imperial court. Gan Tang smiled: "Brother Shi's words, isn't it similar to what Wang Xianggong thought back then?" But wouldn't the approach be more radical? Gan Tang frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.

Shi Zui nodded: "I did think about the change of the law of the prince back then, and I was very inspired, what the prince thought back then, maybe it was the same, but he didn't expect the resistance back then, the decree didn't work, and the yang and yin below violated it, so the state affairs were finally to purge the officials and rule the ......."

"That's true." Gan Tang nodded, "But the method is wrong, the economy can't play like this." ”

"Huh? Economy? ”
