A few light bulbs lit by electricity illuminated Zhu Jishi's imperial study like daylight. This bulb is not Thomas. Edison's invention was "invented" by Zhu Jishi's son-in-law Zheng Zhongcheng, and the Imperial Fund (Royal Consortium) also held shares in Zhongcheng Electric Light Company. However, this kind of most common electric lamp in later generations, because it has just been invented not long ago, the production and manufacturing technology is not yet mature, and it is now a luxury thing, and only the middle and upper families are willing to use it in Yingtian, and the "townhouse area" where the working people live is still lit by dim candlelight at night.

Under the illumination of the electric light, the four brothers Zhu Guoxiong, Zhu Guojie, Zhu Guoan, and Zhu Guoliang were continuing to listen to Emperor Zhu's teachings in the study.

"Have all four of you studied the Confucian classics and read the Buddhist scriptures?" Zhu Jishi picked up a cup of green tea, took a sip, and asked lightly.

Zhu Guoxiong is the crown prince, so he was naturally the first to answer: "Erchen has not read Buddhist scriptures, but he has read Confucian classics, but they are only rough." ”

In fact, it's not rough, he has read all the thirteen classics of Confucianism, but he doesn't seek to understand it.

"Erchen also read some Confucian things, I read them at Jishi University, as for Buddhism...... The sons did not believe. Zhu Guojie also answered truthfully. He was educated in England since he was a child, and of course there was no place to learn the Confucian classics, let alone burn incense and worship the Buddha.

However, he was later admitted to Jishi University in Hong Kong, but he read some Confucianism - now "One", "Ben", "Reading" novels ybdu... In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not exclude Confucianism, and in the imperial examination of the affairs officer, Confucianism accounted for a lot of it.

But now the content of Confucianism in the Ming imperial examination is different from the past, and it is not an eight-strand article. Rather, it's some fill-in-the-blank questions. Multiple choice questions. There are also some important dictations of Confucian classics. As for the study of commentaries and the study of Confucian classics, they are not examined. Because being an official is not the same thing as being a scholar at all. Those Confucian knowledge, not to mention spending a lifetime studying, will take at least ten or even twenty years of hard study, and then there is a famous teacher to teach to be considered proficient.

In the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, the former Ming Dynasty and the Two Song Dynasty, who could get a civil official from the imperial examination, who was not a well-educated Confucian? You must know that there are only more than 300 people in three years. to be placed in the Hereafter. The professors of Peking University University, Renmin University College, and Shou Guoxue Dissemination Center are certainly not as good as theirs in Confucianism.

But the question is, can the professors of the three major colleges of Chinese studies in later generations be allowed to manage the country and even lead troops to war? It's unthinkable! Confucianism, which should belong to philosophy according to the division of the West, is of course very important. But how can all officials in a country be philosophers? How can the elite of a country have all studied philosophy as a lifelong career?

Therefore, the Confucianism in the Ming Imperial Examination is only for rough understanding, not for understanding. If you really want to be a great Confucian, you don't want to enter the officialdom, you can go to the philosophy departments of your own Confucian Academy and various universities.

As for Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty, it is not even a knowledge, it is just a religion where there are many people who burn incense and not many people believe in it. The sons of Zhu Jishi. Probably except for Zhu Guojie and Zhu Juan, who don't believe it at all, everyone else has the experience of burning incense and worshiping Buddha. But I really believe it. There are only Zhu Guowei and Zhu Guoyun.

"Erchen has also studied Confucianism and can also recite scriptures, but he can only recite the sentence 'Nan Wu Amitabha'." The tall and handsome Zhu Guoan is smiling, he is also a long-sleeved and good dancer character, and he can get along with anyone. I have long heard about Zhu Jishi's true health from my sister Zhu Yisha, and now there are no outsiders, so naturally I don't pretend to be a filial son.

Zhu Jishi laughed a few times, and looked at Zhu Guoliang, who had just taken over as the king of Dali.

"Father, you ask your son, Confucianism and Buddha, do you want to worship Confucianism and rejuvenate Buddha in the south?" Zhu Guoliang was born in the military and is also a soldier's character, and he spoke more directly, so he simply asked about Lao Tzu.

Emperor Zhu nodded, looked at the crown prince and said, "Guoxiong, what do you think?" ”

"Worshipping Confucianism and rejuvenating Buddha is a policy that misleads the country." Zhu Guoxiong was really badly taught by Jishi University, and actually looked at Confucianism like this, "The truth of Confucianism, just understand a little, it takes a lifetime to be proficient, a few great Confucians are okay behind closed doors, if there are too many people who study, it will be a cage wise man." Moreover, worshipping Confucianism must suppress hundreds of schools, and no one is even willing to study and study agriculture, industry, commerce, and the military, which is really misleading the country and the people. As for Buddhism...... It is the religion of the dead country! Tibet and Mongolia are weak because of Buddhism, and Myanmar and Siam in the south are also weak because of Buddhism. In the past, many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions and Tianzhu perished one by one! If the father wants to worship Confucianism and rejuvenate Buddha in the South Seas, the sons and ministers are afraid that this wind will gradually spread to the north and spread to Middle Earth. ”

"If only you understood!" Zhu Jishi nodded and said, "There are pros and cons to everything!" Recently, I have been thinking about the affairs of Nanyang, and I feel that the most difficult people to govern are the people of Nanyang. The aborigines of Nanyang are lazy and no more diligent than my Chinese people. And there are quite a few of them, and now there are tens of millions of them! If it is allowed to multiply and then treat the people of China, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of millions or even billions in the future! This is a great calamity in the country! And in order to let the Nanyang natives have fewer children and better children, it is necessary to use Buddhism and Confucianism. ”

Emperor Zhu vaguely remembered that in later generations, there were more than 200 million people in Indonesia, nearly 100 million people in the Philippines, and even Vietnam, which had experienced war, had a population of nearly 100 million. If so many people become Chinese in the future, it will be a headache for Zhu Jishi's grandson and great-grandson. Even if they do not become Chinese, but learn from the Mexican people in later generations, sharpening their heads every day to squeeze into the Great Chinese Empire, it is enough to give people a headache. And the best way to do this is undoubtedly to practice it among these natives...... Family planning, supplemented by Confucian education for assimilation.

Of course, this family planning cannot be implemented through the Family Planning Commission, so we can only ask Buddhism to flourish and recruit more monks and nuns to achieve it...... Of course, it's not a Japanese-style monk or nun. Moreover, Buddhism is a rather negative religion, not seeking this life but the next life, and the kung fu of self-paralysis is first-class, and the combat effectiveness is completely scum (most of them are scum, except for violent monks in Japan). If all the natives of Nanyang believe in Buddhism, everyone worships the Buddha and burns incense for the next life, and is obedient to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it will be even better.

As for Chong Confucianism, he naturally also wanted to imprison the wise men -- to cage the wise men among the natives of Nanyang, and give them a way to become officials by examination, so as to save them from making any trouble for national liberation. Moreover, although Confucianism has many problems, it is the most important part of Chinese culture after all, and as long as it accepts Confucianism, it can basically be said to be a Chinese.

"Erchen understands what his father means." Zhu Guoxiong said in a deep voice, "My father wants to move the people of Nanyang Islanders to Java, presumably just to facilitate education, right?" But how can the land of Java accommodate tens of millions of people? ”

Zhu Jishi smiled confidently, "Although the land of Java is not big, it is rich and fertile but the first in the world, which is very different from all over the South Seas. Because there are volcanoes on the island of Java, the volcanic ash that erupts every time is rich in minerals that are conducive to the growth of crops. ”

Hearing Zhu Jishi's explanation, Zhu Guoxiong suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder there are so many people on the island of Java." However, tens of millions of natives who do not obey the king's transformation are concentrated on one island, I'm afraid it's not easy to govern, right? ”

"Severe punishment should be carried out!" Zhu Guojie took over the conversation, "Just like the politics of Erchen in Hong Kong, to govern the lazy natives of Nanyang, it is necessary to use severe punishment to remove their inertia and make them industrious." If the land of Java is really rich, and there are tens of millions of thrifty people, why can't they be rich? ”

"So who's going to govern Java?" Zhu Jishi asked with a frown.

"My son is willing to go." Zhu Guojie volunteered.

"You're going to Australia." Zhu Jishi waved his hand, "The Australian strategy will start soon, and when the time comes, you will go with Helena to appease the white people there, and you will have no time to go to Java." ”

"Father, it's better to let Zi Zhongdi be the king of Java." Zhu Guoxiong suggested, "Zi Zhongdi has believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and he is also familiar with Confucianism, and he was taught in the army when he was a child, and he paid the most attention to discipline. ”

Zhu Jishi glanced at this "Lawyer Zhu" who could speak well, nodded and said, "That's it...... In addition, the Nanyang countries also have the law of the Javanese Buddha Kingdom, you and Guojie discuss formulating it as soon as possible, and it must be strictly governed! What I mean is that the rule of law, Confucianism, and Buddhism will govern the heart, and the three will work together to achieve miraculous results.

In addition, the country of Java Buddhism is not among the five summers, and its people are not the people of China! (To be continued......)
