Chapter 131: The Water Army
Yang Shen was on fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the first and possibly the last strong figure in the Zhengde Dynasty, Yang Shen's light completely covered Wang Shouren, who was also named the champion.
Throughout the two-hundred-year history of the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi is like a carp crossing the river, and the champions of the two lists are also like cabbage rotten streets, but even those who are in the middle of the three yuan can be counted with one hand.
From the Xie Yuan in the Township Examination, to the Huiyuan in the Hui Examination, and then to the champion in the Palace Examination, this way down is like a thousand miles to ride alone, but the pass is not successful, and the ink will inevitably flow into a river everywhere you go.
In particular, the Huiyuan and the champion, want to get the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination in later generations can be very different, every exam is to compete with the top talents, are the elite of the elite, the provincial champion between the big competition.
However, Yang Shen won after all, and he won very beautifully. Lianzhong Sanyuan, the first in the expo, these two titles made him begin to have enough voices to speak for Zhu Houzhao, and to subdue those unruly scholars for Zhu Houzhao.
This time, Yang Shen once again took out the capital ideas taught to him by Zhu Houzhao and published his unique remarks in the newspaper.
Although Capital is a work used by Karl Marx to criticize capitalist society, the content of the book is a completely penetrating analysis of capitalist society.
It can be said that Marx's theory of capital is a great masterpiece that analyzes the essence of capitalist society and depicts the pinnacle of capitalist society.
From the shallow to the deep, from the elementary to the advanced, Zhu Houzhao absorbed the knowledge that could be used for the budding capitalism of the Ming Dynasty, and then let Yang Shen integrate it with his own Confucian knowledge, and finally sent it to the desks of many scholars or businessmen who could read and write through newspapers.
Of course, it is not enough to do this, Yang Shen is very knowledgeable and has excellent literary talents, but he is not very good at writing articles in the vernacular.
So the people of Jinyiwei came in handy again. Under Zhu Houzhao's instructions, this group of people with different identities used their own identities to brainwash different groups.
As for the textbook, of course, Zhu Houzhao compiled it himself. Yang Shen's reading notes played a huge role in it, allowing Zhu Houzhao to calmly compile a thin capital that could barely make the most stubborn Confucianism a little more acceptable.
With the speed of newspaper dissemination, every article published by Yang Shen was immediately published by government-run newspapers all over the country and sold everywhere.
At the beginning, even Yang Shenyi, even after throwing out this strange argument in the name of Zhong Sanyuan, it still caused a strong backlash.
There was a lot of scolding in Shilin. However, Zhu Houzhao did not immediately brutally suppress these opposing voices, but attacked them arbitrarily, and even provided them with enough platforms to speak out, allowing the Mo family and other royal newspapers to provide free pages for them to use.
In this way, Yang Shen didn't understand, he directly found Zhu Houzhao to ask for an explanation.
"Your Majesty, you let your ministers propagate your ideas, but you can't let them attack them at will! No matter how powerful a minister is, it is impossible for him to drown so many people with saliva.
Besides, the minister read some of their articles, and some people just don't understand bullshit, and they post articles completely for the sake of scolding, and the minister can't accept it! ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled, beckoned Yang Shen to sit down, personally poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.
After seeing Yang Shen's breath calm, he spoke: "I know that you have been having a hard time recently, and I am distressed, but it is impossible for you to withdraw."
Someone scolds you, which can only show that you still have a thorough understanding of Das Kapital, and you have not completely integrated the theory with the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty.
You don't have to worry about the swearing, you just need to find out your own shortcomings, meditate hard and refute them.
How can a new theory develop? Adversity, setbacks. For example, if you want to plant trees, you can't only have sunshine and rain to become talents, but also encounter strong winds and thunder, and you need to prune branches before you can become talents.
I can give you the sunshine and rain, but the thunder and wind need you to face it yourself, only then will you know how to grow.
It's not that I can't do some things, but I can't do them, and when it comes to the scriptures and meanings of the Four Books and the Five Classics, you can't do more than five streets. ”
When Zhu Houzhao said these words, Yang Shen was very embarrassed, especially the last sentence made Yang Shen dare not even say, but in fact, he was very useful in his heart.
There is nothing more wonderful in the Ming Dynasty than receiving the emperor's approval, at least Yang Shen thinks so.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "This is just one aspect, enough for you to grow."
I don't know if you have noticed that since the start of your newspaper scolding war, the sales of major newspapers have doubled several times, and in less than a month, we have earned a full 200,000 taels of silver across the country, not counting the newspapers that are sent out for free! ”
Yang Shen immediately understood that the gimmick caused by such a polemic, as long as he did not listen to it, would always be pursued by readers all over the country, and the silver would continue to flow in.
"The minister knows the emperor's deep meaning, but if it goes on like this, the minister still can't bear the mouths of the people!" Yang Shen can understand, but still does not support.
Zhu Houzhao snapped his fingers and said: "The team has always developed from weak to strong, as you progress, you will have a large number of followers, and you will eventually win!" ”
Yang Shen's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, why do you have such a judgment?" ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled mysteriously: "Because this is the trend of the times!" ”
Of course, it is the trend of the times, and society has been evolving non-stop since the emergence of human beings.
From the clan society to the slave society, to the feudal society, and then to the capitalist society, the social changes caused by the increase of people and the development of the productive forces are fundamentally irreversible!
"But it's up to you to grow your team, it's too slow. So I have other plans to make sure you don't fight alone! ”
Yang Shen was surprised: "Could it be that the emperor has other people to drive?" ”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, and said confidently: "I have a whole army!" ”
Yang Shen was shocked and busy: "Don't do it, Emperor, although those people obstructed the emperor's plan and scolded the ministers, their sins are not enough to kill their heads." ”
Although Yang Shen was scolded, from the bottom of his heart, he still had the selfless bearing of a grand duke, and when he heard that the emperor was going to send troops, he immediately put down his position and began to intercede with the majority of the scolding party.
Zhu Houzhao appreciates this kind of bearing very much, putting integrity and justice before personal honor and disgrace, but he does not advocate it. Because it's out of place.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "My army is not an army of swords! ”
"Please make it clear to the emperor!"
"This army of mine is called the Water Army!"
"Trolls?"
"That's right, my navy is the same as you, they all use words and swords, and they are all pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but once the whole army rises, it will be unstoppable!" Zhu Houzhao said: "As soon as the navy came out, it was invincible. Even Zhuge Kongming's three-inch incorruptible tongue has to be wiped out in the saliva of the sailors! (To be continued.) )
