Chapter 452: Returning to the Source (Happy New Year to All)

"Source" or "vintage"!

It's just a tool. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As a pragmatist, Zhu Yifeng is well aware of how much resistance he will face on the road to future domination, and how to deal with it.

There are many ways to remove resistance.

You can kill the people who create resistance, and in fact many people do. It's the easiest way to do it, but killing people will never solve the problem.

What else can be done besides killing?

Compromise?

Compromise between progress and conservatism?

Of course, just like in the past few years, in order to win people's hearts, Zhu Yifeng has compromised more than once, and even the setting of the official system is also compromised.

Compromises are not a long-term solution.

What to do?

After months of hard thinking, Zhu Yifeng, who was holding the Analects and reading Mencius, came up with a solution.

Draw from the bottom of the kettle!

The so-called salary draw from the bottom of the kettle is to fundamentally solve the problem.

The reason why the scholars of this era were conservative was because the Manchu Qing Dynasty used butcher knives, literary prisons, imperial examinations and other means for their servile rule, so that the scholars did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

The family motto and teacher teaching who dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step make people have an instinctive resistance in the face of change. Perhaps, with their strong support, this conservatism will not have an impact at the national level, but it will not solve the problem fundamentally.

If we want to change all this, there is only one way -- to use "retro" and "source-seeking" to turn "conservative" into "non-Chinese", what is Chinese.

It is inclusive and inclusive!

And in doing so, it will also bring an even more wonderful by-product -- you can "tune" Confucianism according to your own needs in the name of "retro", and the rule of more than 2,000 years has made Confucianism deeply rooted in the bone marrow of China and become an inseparable part of Chinese civilization. It is impossible for anyone to strip it from the Chinese body, and once it is stripped away, it is the soul that is stripped away.

Without Confucianism, is Chinese civilization still Chinese civilization?

Just like in later generations, even the most basic moral bottom line of "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" has become a joke. So much so that the official had to vigorously promote it, and the reason why it was promoted was because the bottom line was repeatedly broken. For more than 2,000 years, China has not had religion as the bottom line of moral restraint, and China has taken Confucianism as the basic moral and moral norms of society, and the destruction of Confucianism will inevitably weaken or even destroy the basic values and norms that unite Chinese society.

However, conservative Confucianism does not meet the needs of China and does not meet the future development. Nor is it in line with their own rule.

Femdom it!

Like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and even Taizu of the Song Dynasty, he trained Confucianism according to his own needs, and when it conformed to the times and development, it was the real hegemony.

The real domineering is never the murderous intent. It's a condescending consequence.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and even Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty could train Confucianism according to their own needs. You can do the same in your own time!

And it can be done more justifiably and more naturally!

Because I am "seeking the source" and "retro"!

In such a situation, whoever dares to oppose himself in the name of a "saint" will no longer oppose himself, but will oppose the "saint". As for those who are conservative and try to talk about the "teachings of the saints", they only need one sentence - "You are tampering with the teachings of the saints"!

In this way, it is easy to seize the highest point of morality, so as to be invincible.

Well, of course, if you do this, you still need to invite some people from the east of the Confucian Temple, such as Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi and others, anyway, in a word - in the name of "retro", completely remove the resistance, and at the same time recast the Confucianism you need - a martial, open, enterprising neo-Confucianism!

For a moment, Guo Songtao was stunned.

He realized that for the Han king, what he wanted was more than just a change of dynasty. It is by no means a simple change of the banner of "Qing" with "China", but a fundamental change in the country.

"Source" is just one of them, and "retro" is just a name!

Of course he knew this as a disciple of a saint, but he understood it, whether it was her or anyone. It was impossible to stop this move of the Han king, and the reason was very simple - Confucianism has always been parasitic on the monarchy, especially after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was impossible for Confucianism to fight against the monarchy!

"Eliminate false Confucianism and restore true Confucianism, and then China will be able to rejuvenate!" The pre-Qin scholars, the Han family, and the charm of the Tang Dynasty will surely reproduce the land of China! ”

Whether this is true or not, when he said it, Zhu Yifeng himself couldn't tell it, but it is certain that he himself was excited when he said this.

"Your Highness, can you ...... How can this be done? ”

Guo Songshou asked a little nervously, he didn't know whether the "retro" road chosen by King Han was right or wrong, but after three years of traveling abroad, he knew very well that China was in a state of change that had not been seen in three thousand years, and it would not become impossible.

If it does not change, China will certainly be like India, from the hands of the Manchurians to the slavery of the West. And he didn't know that this was the reason why Zhu Yifeng chose him -- because he knew the world better, because he knew that China had reached the point where it had to change.

Move the knife against Confucianism!

It may sound like a bit of a contradiction.

Not some!

It's a big rebellion!

Zhu Yifeng can imagine that if these words were said to Zhang Liangji, Luo Bingzhang, Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, and even Zeng Guofan and others, what would be the reaction of these saints, it is estimated that when the time comes, there will definitely be a "Qian Tang", is it that when the time comes, he will be like Zhu Yuanzhang when he wanted to abolish Mencius, Qian Tang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, insisted on entering the palace to intercede for Mencius, and ordered the Jinwu guards to shoot him alive in front of the palace. Qian Tang was hit by two arrows on each shoulder, and the blood flowed, but he was still brave and unyielding, and he broke in.

This is obviously not appropriate!

King Han is benevolent!

This is a well-known thing in the world, so if you want to do this, you must fake the hands of other people, and looking at the entire court, only Guo Songtao can understand his hard work, after he asked how to do it, Zhu Yifeng knew that he did not choose the wrong person.

"Education!"

Whether you want to strengthen the country or carry out social transformation, education is a must.

"It is only through education that it is possible!"

Then Zhu Yifeng made a special proposal.

"If you want to run education, you must first solve the problem of teachers, especially primary school teachers, I plan to start next year, from the treasury to take out 30 million yuan a year for education, plus the household and local, at least 60 million yuan a year can be used for education, which will be able to implement the compulsory education plan nationwide, so a large number of teachers are urgently needed."

The so-called "inner treasury" is actually Zhu Yifeng's private treasury, and the funds of the inner treasury come entirely from various business activities, such as the electrolytic aluminum workshop built in the arsenal, which can make a ton of aluminum, whose value is equivalent to gold, but this is not the largest income, the real largest income is cigarettes - the income of the Arsenal brand cigarettes, the monthly profit is as much as more than two million yuan, and the income of special drugs is also increasing, and now the monthly income of the inner library is around four million yuan, even after deducting the expenses for the "new capital", There is no problem at all in devoting 30 million yuan a year to education.

What's more, in addition to this income, there are several palaces in Nanjing, as well as tens of thousands of stores and residences, and some of the properties that were confiscated as "spoils" were allocated to the inner government, and in the future, these stores, houses and land in Nanjing City will be a lot of wealth. It can bring a steady stream of income to the inner library.

Of course, in the inner treasury, there are also treasures worth hundreds of millions of dollars looted by the Taiping army. Well, in the future, if the capital is laid, it can also be copied in the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace. There's nothing faster than stealing money from a house!

"Compulsory education?"

Guo Songshou asked suspiciously.

"Yes, compulsory education,"

Zhu Yifeng nodded affirmatively:

"My plan is to set up one or more schools in every municipality in China, and all minors under the age of 16 must be enrolled, otherwise their parents will be punished, and the school system will be ...... Three years, or the student reaches the age of eighteen. ”

The reason why compulsory education of three years or even a minimum of two years is implemented is for the purpose of eradicating illiteracy and influencing a generation with "Neo-Confucianism".

"Compulsory education?"

Guo Songtao is no stranger to compulsory education, and in fact, when he visited Prussia, he also greatly admired it.

"I want to ask, how is this compulsory education system implemented? Can it be implemented? Many people in rural areas simply cannot afford to pay for all their children's school fees. ”

"Oh, I didn't make it clear,"

Zhu Yifeng hurriedly added:

"There is no charge for all students, tuition, books, nothing, as long as they come to study, and scholarships are also provided, and those with excellent academic performance can get scholarships, they can go to high school, junior high school, high school, and even university."

"Ahh

Looking at King Han in surprise, as a disciple of the saint, he immediately thought of four words, "there is no class", if this goal can be achieved, it is naturally good, but the question is how much money is needed for this, and who will pay for such a huge cost. But before he could continue, Zhu Yifeng continued:

"The most important thing now is that there is simply not enough teachers. There are also administrative bodies that implement this policy. ”

He sighed again.

"There are still some ordinary people who don't understand the importance of reading, and would rather let their children go to the ground more than let their children go to school, especially girls, so we must take coercive measures to force them to study, as long as they go to study and get an education, at most 30 years, we can rejuvenate China, and by then, China will be very different from now!"
