Chapter 21: The Star Map (I)

"Berwyn!" Zhu Chongjiu stood up, bypassed the bookcase, and bowed deeply to Liu Bowen in full view of everyone.

Not for how clever the other party's strategy was, but for Liu Bowen between Huaiyang and Confucianism, and finally chose Huaiyang.

As Liu Bowen himself said, when the Guò astronomical telescope presents a brand-new star map in front of everyone, the etiquette of the Mandate of Heaven advocated by Confucianism since the Han Dynasty, the strict hierarchical order, and the orthodoxy will be thrown up by the roots. Unless someone deliberately turned a blind eye, he simply couldn't explain the new bright starry sky.

And the price Liu Bowen paid for this was to overturn everything he had learned in half his life. This is not only a simple re-revision of knowledge, but also a self-denial and reshaping of faith. In another memory of Zhu Chongjiu, the more thoroughly he studied a certain philosophy and the more devout his beliefs were, the more painful he suffered when he found that it was in conflict with reality. Sometime at the end of the twentieth century, many philosophy professors would have preferred to take a leap from the top of a tall building in such a situation!

"Lord!" Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu suddenly inexplicably made a gesture to Liu Bowen, Hu Dahai, Chen Ji and others were all taken aback, and they stood up one after another, staring at Yuan in their eyes and exclaiming.

"My lord doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Bowen's appearance is far calmer than others. first opened his body sideways and returned a long bow to Zhu Chongjiu. Then with red eyes, he sighed softly, "If it is not broken, it will not be established, and the Zhou rite will not be restored, but the saint and the human system may not be inherited." Moreover, being loyal to others is the avenue that the saint admires, and Weichen has not left it for a while! ”

"Berwyn, I dare not say that there will be peace for all eternity, but I will do my best to establish a life for the people!" Zhu Chongjiu grabbed Liu Bowen's hand, slapped it a few times, and solemnly promised.

Liu Bowen did not betray his Confucian beliefs, but changed his way to adapt his beliefs to the new starry sky and integrate into the new world. As Liu Bowen's admirer in his previous life and his best friend in this life, Zhu Chongjiu has the obligation to fulfill this wish for him, so that Confucianism can be nirvana on the basis of science and equality.

Zhu Chongjiu had no prejudices against Confucianism, and in fact, he did not have much prejudice against any school of doctrine except for the kind of persuasion that people take up the knife and treat their neighbors, and then go to heaven to enjoy the seventy-two virgins. In another time and space, he has witnessed the absurdity of all kinds of fanatical believers, and witnessed all kinds of hypocrites shouting slogans of "democracy and freedom" or "Internachonaire" to drain other people's pockets and fatten their own families. So much so that he could not absolutely accept any kind of philosophy and belief.

In his opinion, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or even Mingjiao or Catholicism, which is just beginning to emerge in the Central Plains, as long as it can bring prosperity to Huaiyang and help China re-emerge, he can use some of them for reference. But these are means, not ends. If a certain belief or philosophy is contrary to the peace and happiness of the people and the purpose of the re-emergence of China, even if it is said to be wild, even if Confucius, Lao Tzu and God come hand in hand, Zhu Chongjiu will not hesitate to pull out the pig-killing knife and fight head-on.

Using another method of dividing time and space into the 21st century, Zhu Chongjiu is a nationalist through and through. And his nationalism, in the end, will inevitably lead to equality. If a nation awakens to the oppression of itself by foreign nations as a sin, it will naturally be unable to endure the oppression and enslavement of its own people. It is also a sin, no more noble than the enslavement of the nation by outsiders!

And when there is a philosophy or belief that can take care of each other with his nationalism and the current Huaiyang, and grow together, Zhu Chongjiu doesn't mind pushing it from behind. Like the Renaissance of the 13th and 16th centuries, European civilization flourished for the next 400 years. If Confucianism can be rejuvenated on the basis of Huaiyang's new mode of production and equal humanities, and feed back to the Chinese nation, what reason does Zhu Chongjiu have not to be happy to see it come to fruition? !

"May the tail wing of the lord be attached, and the clouds will go up!" After a long time, Hu Dahai, Chen Ji and others understood a little bit of the taste, and they all stepped forward and expressed their voices loudly.

"I am willing to open up an era together with you!" Zhu Chongjiu was awakened from his distraction by everyone's words, collected his agitated mood, laughed and high-fived everyone one by one.

"Ministers, do your best!" "Wechen is willing to serve the dogs and horses!" "Minister, this life is given by the lord. What the lord says to do, the minister will do it! ”

Zhang Song, Chen Ji, Huang Laowei and others also laughed, raised their hands, and struck Zhu Chongjiu's hand in the air.

At this moment, the monarchs and ministers and others were all full of ambition, feeling that there was nothing to be done in the world. When we discuss the strategy again, we are also energetic and doubling the efficiency.

Soon, the basic strategy of competing with the old Confucian celebrities for the right to interpret Confucianism in the recent period was discussed. And assign it to specific departments and personnel to be responsible for implementation. Then he quickly turned the topic back to the most critical point, making full use of the completion of the Purple Mountain Observatory to fundamentally reject the etiquette system and the regular hierarchy of the old Confucianism.

With the re-division of functions and jurisdictions in accordance with the three councils of government, supervision and privy council, the efficiency of the operation of the Governor's Office has been greatly improved. In the afternoon of the same day, a series of decrees issued by the Privy Council began to be implemented. At the same time, the Government Council and the government yamen at all levels also made the most active cooperation, and a war in which no blood and gunpowder could be seen was quietly started.

As the saying goes, it's always easier to destroy than to build. Zheng Yu and Wang Han, a group of old Confucian celebrities, although they didn't know how to govern the country or how to lead troops to fight, secretly stumbled on the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, but their actions were very neat. found that if he continued to debate with Qingqiuzi, he would only be led by the other party. He simply turned his heart to the problems that had arisen in the course of the administration of the Huaiyang Governor's Office in the past few years.

As a result, after the brilliant pen of the genius, the tragic images of being persecuted by the Huaiyang government quickly appeared in newspapers and tea shops, and even turned into excerpts and loose songs, which quickly spread among the people.

For example, someone's ancestors and grandchildren have accumulated a great business by eating bran for three generations, but it was destroyed by war. For example, a gentry repaired bridges and roads, and did good deeds all his life, but because he inadvertently took in a benefactor who had been a high-ranking official, he was connected by the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion and went bankrupt. A husband and wife are farmers and women weaving, and their husbands sing and their wives follow, and their lives are more beautiful than fairies. However, because of the flooding of water-powered looms, the family road quickly fell, and both committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water, etc., there are all kinds of them, one is better than the other tragic twists and turns.

What's more, he simply shaped Meng Yuan Huai'an Guard General Chu Buha into a good general who is loyal and righteous, loves the people like a son, and has been ordered to exterminate the bandits and water robbers many times, and protect the people of Lianghuai. However, the Red Turban Army came, and Chu Buha was outnumbered. Finally, outside the city of Huai'an, he shouted three times, don't harm the people under my rule, and then drew his sword and killed himself, and repaid the king with death
