"Nowadays, in such a situation, we Confucianism only have two ways to go, one is the secret of the way, turning the real into Confucianism, accepting Confucianism into reality, since then there is no pure Confucianism, Confucianism is only a branch of the hundred schools of practice included. The other is that we ourselves stick to the right path and stick to our hearts...... Let the wind blow and the waves blow, I insist on myself......"

"What the hell is going to do, Brother Wozi, don't go around in circles."

"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." Chen Zilong took a breath: "We are now in a state of embarrassment, and it is impossible for us to rule the world." But Yu Jimin did things as a person, leaving a little more leeway, and even me, the person who was installed by the court to seize his power, was tolerated, and in addition to receiving a salary from him over the years, I was editing and proofreading, and he did not embarrass me. Therefore, as long as we don't confront it directly, and hold back for the time being, we will be fine. ”

Chen Zilong's words made Mao Bijiang and Wu Weiye look at each other, because this was almost exactly the same as what Fang Cai Hou Fangyu said. However, they also felt that Chen Zilong and Hou Fangyu were not the same kind of people.

"Besides, I have some experience in Xinxiang over the years, and I think the biggest gain is to talk about it practically." Chen Zilong continued: "I am determined to apply to Yu Jimin to immigrate overseas, recruit displaced people, and educate him with the way of my Confucian sage. Yu Jimin can be the world with a new place, so I can't inherit the Tao with an overseas corner? ”

"What?"

Mao Bijiang and Wu Weiye both showed surprised expressions.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't have the ambition to compete with Yu Jimin for the world, I am living overseas. It is also the people under Yu Jimin's rule, but if we can start from scratch and build a prosperous city like Yu Jimin, and form a system of our own, it will be valued by Yu Jimin, which can be proven. We will wait for Confucian orthodoxy to be able to govern the country, and then we will return proudly. Why worry that Yu Jimin will abandon us and other Confucian scholars? ”

For Mao Bijiang and Wu Weiye, this statement is new, but since today. They heard a lot of all kinds of remarks, and the entire Confucian forest, with Yu Guozhen's entry into Jinling, fell into panic, and everyone made their own comments on this from their own point of view, and there were many sharp arguments in the latest issue of "Storm Collection".

This was an era of great ideological turmoil unprecedented in 2,000 years, and reality forced Rulin to think. It must be admitted that those who can stand out among thousands of readers are the smarter figures of this era after all. They may not be flexible until the fierce turmoil comes, but when the storm does come, they will definitely not sit still.

There are all kinds of choices, all kinds of speeches.

"How can Yu Jimin let me wait for Ruyi?"

"I have had a deep conversation with Yu Jimin several times. The two of them knew that I was deeply favored by the Ming Emperor, but in the end, I did not die for the Ming Dynasty, but ate Zhou Lu, the reason is that I know that Yu Jimin has the grace to accommodate people, and this person has a large amount of weapons. There is no one else in ancient times. For example, if you change the talents of the Emperor Chongzhen, you will be like Wei Wu and Tang Zong, but I am afraid that you will not be like Yu Jimin, and you will be courteous. I have a book here, which has not yet been published on the market, but it has been printed and distributed to some high-ranking officials of the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee, and it is written by the emperor himself. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zilong took out a book from his box, which was decorated with great delicacy in the usual style of Xinxiang. After nearly 20 years of research and development, Xinxiang's papermaking technology now produces a wide variety of papers, which makes readers very happy, and this kind of cover paper suitable for color printing makes books more beautiful.

The background color of this book is half vermilion and half Ming Huang, the few words on the cover are unrecognizable, but Wu Weiye recognizes it at a glance: "This is the emperor's imperial pen!" ”

"Exactly."

"The first half of my life...... Author: Zhu ......"

Seeing that this was the title of the book full of Xinxiang vernacular temperament, Wu Weiye was speechless for a while, but he took the liberty of opening up the territory and read it out, but found that the author's signature was Chongzhen's real name, and he only read one surname and did not read it again.

"In this book, it contains how the emperor obtained the great treasure from the king of letters, and how he captured Wei Zhongxian with the power of thunder, and there is a lot of content in it, all of which are related to Donglin." When Chen Zilong said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "To be honest, after reading this article, I also think that Donglin ...... Some things are just not what they do. ”

"No matter how good Donglin is, he is always a righteous man and a gentleman, better than those villains at both ends of the head." Chen Zilong's words fell, Wu Weiye and Mao Bijiang had not yet replied, such a voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then, the door was pushed open angrily, and Huang Zongxi stood in front of the door.

He pointed at Chen Zilong, and because of his anger, his chest rose and fell very violently: "Chen Wozi, if you hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known that you were such a person!" In vain, I want to come to you to discuss great things! You just go and lick the toes of the new monarch, I, Huang Taichong, will break off with you from today! ”

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, and when he waved his sleeve, half of the sleeve cracked in response, and then Huang Zongxi threw the sleeve on the ground, turned around and left, and did not allow Chen Zilong to say a word.

Chen Zilong could only smile bitterly.

"Taichong, Huang Taichong, why bother!" Wu Weiye and Mao Bijiang wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by Chen Zilong.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, Huang Taichong has always admired his father, and he can't tolerate others saying that Donglin is not a word, and the contradiction between him and Yu Jimin is truly irreconcilable."

"But if he goes on like this, Yu Jimin will endure him once or twice, and can he endure him countless times?"

"Alas, good words are contrary to the ear, is it useful for you to go up and persuade you, and the more we try to persuade him, I am afraid that he will make more trouble. I have been running for Sun Jin these days, and I have heard some news in the Huaxia army, in short, it is very unfavorable to him, and the day before yesterday I persuaded him to leave temporarily, and I am willing to arrange for him to go to Tamluo to see the emperor, but he scolded him......"

These things are not known to Wu Weiye and Mao Bijiang, seeing Chen Zilong's appearance, they know, but they are afraid that Chen Zilong's friendship with Huang Zongxi will be severed. At the beginning, they were like-minded, but now they have parted ways, and when they think about it, they make people feel emotional.

"The book has been printed, and presumably Yu Jimin will fulfill his promise. Please return to the king. Yu Jimin can tolerate the emperor, and naturally he can also tolerate us Confucianism's lonely ghosts, if we can really do something, he will not refuse us to re-enter the political arena. ”

was troubled by Huang Zongxi, and Chen Zilong returned to the original topic, which was somewhat unrefreshed. Seeing that Wu Chuanye and Mao Bijiang were still puzzled, Chen Zilong said in a low voice: "I have had an interview with Yu Jimin. Yu Jimin said that he would not stop us, but he would not give us any preferential treatment. However, our safety is protected by the Huaxia Army. ”

"Wait, Mr. Woko. I'm confused, you can go into detail. ”

"I read Mr. Xu Xiake's notes in Xinxiang, there are islands in the South China Sea, of which Borneo is a big island, there are several provinces in a radius, the natives of the island, how stupid and ignorant, Zheng He went to the West Ocean, has landed on this island twice. Now all the countries on this island worship Huaxia as their suzerain. I can't help but let the Chinese move. I want to choose a flat and fertile place near the sea, prepare to build a new city, and recruit people to hoard land, first, to educate the local people, and second, to preserve and inherit my Confucian orthodoxy. Third, if we are full of righteous people, we will be able to make it a city in three years and rich in ten years, and then our prestige will have accumulated enough, how can Yu Jimin make the pearl dusty for a long time? ”

"Mr. Wozko, what you said is easy. When Yu Jimin went south, he went south with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the art of selling seed beads, and at that time, the world was turbulent, and it was very easy to recruit displaced people. Now that we have no money and no one, how can we do it? ”

"The matter of money, everyone gets together, it is really not good, we can run to the rich, the salt merchants of Lianghuai, the Jinshan of Shanxi, the Huizhou merchants of Huizhou, we can all ask. What are you...... I think there are still some people who are unwilling to be under Yu Jimin's rule, and they will take these people away when the time comes. ”

"The location, the location must not be discreet!"

"It's near the mountain pass ocean in the northwest corner of Borneo."

One of the main reasons for choosing Shankouyang is that this is a transit station for the Chinese Navy when it cruises north and south, Chen Zilong has been a magistrate, and he has stayed in Xinxiang for so many years, but he is not the kind of paper that does not touch the spring water. He knew very well that if a port city was built here, then the Huaxia Navy would have an additional supply base, and Yu Guozhen would definitely be willing to push the boat down the river to help it succeed. In addition, the admirals who come and go, their spending power is not low, and they can also provide armed protection for their new city. According to Chen Zilong's understanding, on average, every two months, the officers and men of the navy have to pass through the Yamaguchi Ocean, which will be a great deterrent to the surrounding natives.

"That's all...... I'm afraid I won't be able to summon many people, and it's hard to leave my homeland. After a while, Wu Weiye muttered.

Mao Bijiang was very excited: "I am willing to go, Mr. Wozi, I will help you!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Xian, what Umemura said is also reasonable, so I'm working on a plan."

"Proposal?"

"If Yu Jimin has any new strategy, he must first draw up a plan, list the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy, do not exaggerate, do not pretend, and let the pros and cons be weighed.

When Chen Zilong said this, the admiration for Yu Guozhen in his heart rose a little, Yu Guozhen pays attention to everything in order, and the kind of thing that pats his head and decides to work is not completely absent, but it has been reduced to the minimum. In Yu Guozhen's view, planning in advance is to keep things in order, and order is the key to steady growth.

A mess will always bring only destruction, not construction, and the idea that if the old world is overturned, there will be a new world, if not naïve, or ulterior motives.

"If you have this plan, you can try it, Wu is not talented, and he is willing to run for Brother Wozi to announce this matter!"

"It's just the two of you who need to contribute." Chen Zilong sighed: "At the beginning, the sage said that if the Tao is not good, it will float overseas, but now we can say it." ”

"Without further ado, let's go to advocate for the sleeper, the most important thing is to raise money, I think it can be like this, please pledge a part of the wealthy businessmen everywhere, and then ask all the people who are willing to move with them to gather a part, just like when Tianru planned the recovery of the old Zhou Pavilion, each make a share, if there is a profit at that time, there will be a return, how about it?" Wu Weiye suggested again.

"That's right, I heard that there is an East India Company in Xiyi, and we are like this...... It's a Nanyang company, right? Chen Zilong said casually.

He definitely didn't expect that this sentence he said casually would be written in history. (To be continued)
