"Coastal nomads, our sailors, most of them have no academic background, do not worship Confucius, do not believe in heaven, and only rely on a brute bravery. Now that Penghu is getting richer, it is no longer precarious, there must always be a home in spiritual cognition, and the sea concubine Mazu is empty after all, if the shipowner does not prosper in this matter, I am afraid that the so-called gospel of God will not be stopped. ”

"We can't worship Con." Yang Changfan immediately shook his head, "Baikong denies the meaning of our existence, and we are rebels." ”

"Anti-Confucius is not, China has followed the way of Confucius and Mencius since ancient times, and anti-Confucius is tantamount to turning the world into an enemy, and I can't accept it myself."

"I understand, the military and financial resources are barely enough to support it, and now we need a guiding ideology."

"Yes, on the other hand, Taizu's actions are also based on the wind of Mingjiao, and since ancient times, most of the heroes have disappeared here."

"Do you have any specific suggestions?"

"I am a protégé of Confucius and Mencius, so I should not say more."

"Understood."

After Hu Zongxian left, Zhao Guangtou stepped forward with a slightly vigilant expression: "Ship owner, don't let the officials muddy our waters." ”

"Bald heads are always alert." Yang Changfan pursed his lips and said, "But there is no way, we still need to be officials, without him, Penghu would not have developed so fast." ”

Zhao Guangtou scratched his head and said: "It's God, it's territory, and it's faith, I can't understand it anyway." In short, both Francois and officials are good at deception, and the owner of the ship should be careful. ”

……

At the cliff of the East China Sea on Penghu Island, there is a unique mansion, which is the mansion that Xu Wenchang has placed himself.

Outside the house, in the thatched pavilion, an Indian girl spreads out the painting that Xu Wenchang has just written to dry.

Yang Changfan broke into the pavilion: "Good for you, you are a chief, let me worry, and relax alone." ”

Xu Wenchang laughed when he heard this: "Come to this treasure land, and there is kung fu to deceive me?" ”

"You're the one who cheated me." Yang Changfan sat in the pavilion and said to the girl, "Niha, come to a pot of herbal tea." ”

The girl took the order and left, and Xu Wenchang also sat back at the table: "This woman is not smiling and behaves strangely, you better take it back." ”

"Weird?"

"It's those rituals in the Western Regions, inexplicable decorations, inexplicable kneeling."

"Oh? Don't like it? ”

"The sect is decorated with heavy makeup, and in my eyes it is really like a demon and a monster." Xu Wenchang obviously couldn't stand the religious etiquette all over Niha's body, and sighed, "The truly appropriate teachings are often surprisingly pure and simple. ”

"For example......" Yang Changfan thought of the four most common words in Tang Shunzhi's collection that year, "the unity of knowledge and action?" ”

"Hehe, there are many people who talk about these four words, but few people who understand these four words." Xu Wenchang smiled, "According to what you think, what do you mean by these four words." ”

"I don't know."

“…… It's always time to think about it, right? ”

"I'm afraid you don't understand."

Xu Wenchang's eyes widened: "There are only two things in the world, and I will never lose to you!" ”

"Which two?"

"First, calligraphy and painting."

"I'll accept this, I can't beat you in my life."

"Second, the study of the mind."

"What exactly is Mindology?"

"It's the study of the mind." Xu Wenchang tried his best to compare, "Self-cultivation, treating others, doing things, doing things, thinking and doing at every moment, are all mental learning." ”

"Actually, it's a worldview methodology, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'll just say you don't understand." Yang Changfan waved his hand and said, "To put it simply, it is how to look at the world and how to do things." ”

"That's pretty much it, but it's not just that."

"So the unity of knowledge and action is the summary of your worldview and methodology, right?"

"I feel uncomfortable saying that...... The unity of knowledge and action is just a sentence, how do you understand it?

Yang Changfan scratched his head and said: "Actually, I don't understand anything, I also read books, I don't read much in this area, I just read this, I feel more convincing, maybe there will be more convincing explanations in the future." ”

"And what's the explanation for now?"

Yang Changfan coughed his throat, he would never forget the texts he had memorized countless times for Ma Zhe's exam.

"Theory and practice are inseparable, practice determines theory, theory guides practice, practice is the ultimate goal of theory, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth......"

"Wrong." Yang Changfan had just memorized a beginning when he was interrupted by Xu Wenchang early.

"You understand this?" Yang Changfan exclaimed.

"It's wrong at the root." Xu Wenchang tapped the desktop, "'Knowledge' is much broader and broader than you think. ”

"For example? Conscience? ”

"Be more broad, don't try to explain the meaning of 'knowledge', you don't understand 'the unity of knowledge and action'."

"Okay." Yang Changfan scratched his head again, no wonder this psychology is just a small circle of intellectuals, and the compulsion is so high, it is too difficult to influence the public. He originally wanted to worship Mr. Wang Mingyang's obedience to Xinxue to supplement the blank of the guiding ideology here, but now it seems that the "unity of knowledge and action" is too metaphysical, and it is difficult to produce the influence of the general public.

Yang Changfan fell into contemplation again, Xu Wenchang thought that he was thinking about the deep meaning of "the unity of knowledge and action", but in fact it was not, as a science student, he would only look for examples to see the data, he needed a simpler and cruder guiding ideology, preferably simple into a sentence.

Fortunately, there are still many cases.

Religious-

Yellow Turban Army: [The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand; The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. 】

Hong Xiuquan: [Worship God together, build the kingdom of heaven together, destroy the demons, and enjoy peace forever.] 】

Sometimes trendy -

Zhu Yuanzhang: [Expelling the Tartars, restoring China, Chen Gang establishing discipline, and relieving the people. 】

Chen Sheng: [Princely generals, would you rather have a kind? There is no way to cut down and punish Qin. 】

There are also strong, invincible ones.

Li Zicheng: [Follow the king, don't pay food. 】

[Down with XXX and liberate all of China. 】

These three are respectively "evil way", "right way", and "royal way", and the foothold corresponds to "religious influence", "the weakness of rulers", and "the desire of the common people".

Yang Changfan also needs such a foothold,

"Francis wants to build a church here." Yang Changfan sighed.

"You answered?"

"Naturally not, it's just that this incident makes me embarrassed, we are famous in the East China Sea, rich and rival the country, but we are too lacking in thought, except for you and me, it is nothing more than the courage of a horseman."

"You and I can't compare with Zong Xian, he is a genuine Jinshi, and you can't compare with me, I'm a showman."

"......" Yang Changfan looked surprised.

Xu Wenchang was slightly embarrassed: "This is a joke, can't you hear it?" ”

"You! It's a joke! Yang Changfan said excitedly, "I'm getting better!" ”

"......" Xu Wenchang waved his hand helplessly, "To get back to the point, Bai Kong didn't say it, he did it, he wanted to do it, do you want to do the imperial examination on this small island in Penghu?" (To be continued.) )
