The war in the northern desert is a festival that can be carnival for the people, but for Yang Reform, it can be described as undisturbed, everything is built on the gradual stage, everything is expected, and there is no big surprise.

Zhang Xianyong's natural experiments soon swept the entire city of Beijing, and then the entire Ming Dynasty, and the trend of buying experimental instruments reached a higher level. Dialectical reflection triggered by natural experiments has further torn the world apart.

Indeed, as Yang Reform hoped, the war in the desert and Zhang Xianyong's natural experiments attracted the attention of the city of Beijing and the attention of people all over the world.

The original focus on Xu Guangqi was much blurred. Xu Guangqi's entry into Beijing is no longer the only focus of everyone's attention. Of course, it is only a reduction, Xu Guangqi is still the focus of many people's attention, and many people still hope to find a breakthrough point in Xu Guangqi, and among these people, Yang Reform itself may also be included.

……

Unlike seeing Xu Guangqi yesterday, Yang Reform's mood today is much better, and he can't help but cry when he meets like yesterday.

"Master Xu's complexion is much better today...... Yang Gengai said with a smile. In this time and space, at a certain level, the most cordial person may be Xu Guangqi, this is Yang Reform's perception, this feeling, even if it is as close as the queen, cronies such as Wang Chengen, and trust such as Sun Chengzong, there has never been, this kind of cordiality, from hundreds of years of inheritance, is unique.

"Return to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, everything is fine." Xu Guangqi replied. Xu Guangqi is very proud to be able to complete this almost impossible undertaking throughout the ages, and for the emperor in front of him, in addition to admiration, pride, and emotion, he is more admiration and pride.

"Sit down......" Yang Gai said with a smile, asking Xu Guangqi to return to Beijing. Yang Reform is naturally an important matter, except for crying yesterday is to report work, which has almost nothing to do with the purpose of Yang reform.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi was not hypocritical, and sat down after thanking him.

“…… Master Xu knows. I asked Master Xu to return to Beijing, but for what? "Yang Reform is not going to talk nonsense either, and is ready to go straight to the topic.

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been several years since the minister left Beijing, and it is time to return to Beijing to take up his post." Xu Guangqi replied.

"Hehe, this is just a minor problem, I believe Master Xu. Even if I don't return to Beijing for ten years, I can rest assured that this is not the problem. Yang Reform said with a smile, about Xu Guangqi's return to Beijing, it is by no means what the ministers said that he will not return to Beijing for several years, and it is not in line with the system, but that Yang Reform has important things for Xu Guangqi.

“…… Your Majesty Xie trusts, and the minister really doesn't know......" Xu Guangqi was also relieved in his heart. He can do this. In addition to the emperor's unconditional support is the emperor's unconditional trust, in addition to these two things, to do this. It is absolutely impossible, an emperor can let go of the ministers to hold most of the people and money of the Ming Dynasty, this courage and trust is absolutely unique.

“…… What does Master Xu think about the fact that everyone in the world reads? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

Xu Guangqi pondered for a while, and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the fact that everyone in the world is studying is actually a major event, a grand event, and an important event throughout the ages, which reflects Your Majesty's benevolence, holy virtue, and great achievements for thousands of years. Benefiting thousands of people, the blessing will last for thousands or even thousands of years......" Xu Guangqi replied seriously.

Looking at Xu Guangqi's serious expression, Yang Gai believed that Xu Guangqi was not a sycophant, he was talking about business.

"Let's not talk about merit first, Master Xu will first talk about what are the consequences of everyone in the world studying?" Yang Gai said seriously. Everyone in the world reads. It was regarded by Yang Reform as a weapon to tear apart Confucianism and tear apart the world.

To change the world, we must change the spiritual outlook of the world, to change the spiritual outlook of the world, Confucianism, the culture represented by Confucianism, absolutely unavoidable, by the Confucian culture extended by the humanistic ethics, Taoism, values, world view, and law is absolutely to be rewritten, is absolutely to change, change these things, it is easy to say, but to do, it is absolutely not that simple, and there is no external force to crush these things, delusional change, it is simply a fantasy. …,

But ......, Yang Gai is ready to give it a go and vow to change these things.

“…… What are the consequences......" Xu Guangqi fell into deep thought, this question is not a difficult problem to think about, but the consequences are indeed unpredictable, not unpredictable but incompatible with today's reality, full of contradictions, knowing that there is a problem but not being able to say it.

“…… A few days ago, I chatted with Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi about this issue, and later extended another question, does Master Xu want to hear it? Yang asked reform.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty what is the question?" Xu Guangqi asked suspiciously.

“…… I asked Yan Shenggong, if everyone studied in the future, would his Confucian family also have to enslave thousands of families and exploit tens of thousands of tenants? Taken together, in one sentence, do the descendants of the saints want to enslave and exploit the disciples of the saints? Yang Reform said that this acute problem has been fermenting, and Yang Reform believes that Confucianism will be forced to make changes.

Xu Guangqi was stunned, his face suddenly became unnatural, this question was definitely very sharp, and it was asked directly to the bones, which made people unable to get rid of it or hide it.

Xu Guangqi was angry, he really didn't know how to answer the emperor's words, no matter how he answered, it was definitely a problem. Don't support everyone to read? Is what he said earlier nonsense? What about the philosophy of the saints? Don't want it? The saint was wrong? Support all reading? How to answer this question of the emperor? The descendants of the saint enslave the disciples of the saint, what else is the saint called? So what is a reader? Is it that cheap?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know how to answer......" Xu Guangqi sighed, the emperor's question was too tricky, and it was too sharp, so sharp that he couldn't dodge.

“…… Master Xu rest assured, this is not to embarrass Master Xu, but to discuss this issue, this problem, since it already exists, sooner or later it is necessary to give an answer, you can't bury your head in the sand and pretend that you don't see anything, since you want to solve and explain this problem, you should start dissecting it from here, Master Xu is the person I trust the most, but it doesn't hurt to say it,......" Yang Reform said sincerely.

Xu Guangqi sighed, the question of everyone reading books, he didn't think about it in private, he did think about it, the consequence of everyone reading is that everyone is a reader, everyone has the preferential treatment that everyone should have, and everyone has something, that is, everyone does not have it, that is, it has created a de facto "everyone is equal", but what is the consequence of "everyone is equal"? To put it directly, the ethical system of morality in the past and today may collapse.

“…… Master Xu, but it doesn't hurt......," Yang urged again.

“…… Alas, Your Majesty, the consequence of everyone studying is that in fact, 'everyone is equal', although it is in line with the concept of the sage Datong World, but this consequence is indeed the complete degradation of today's ethics and morality......" Xu Guangqi sighed and said the words in his heart.

"Is it the decline of ethics or the change of ethics?" Yang asked more seriously.

“…… This ,......" Xu Guangqi looked at the emperor, very puzzled and surprised, there is a big difference between the decline and change of ethics and morality, and it must not be confused.

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, it is a change, it should not be said to be a loss, after all, the etiquette is still there, it is the gift of everyone who holds the gift of a scholar, which seems a bit funny......" Speaking of this, the corners of Xu Guangqi's mouth had a little smile, everyone is a scholar, everyone holds the etiquette of reading, this seems to be nothing bad? Although somewhat weird and funny.

"Oh? Hehehe, what's so funny? If Master Xu's family brings you a bowl of rice, shouldn't Master Xu also say thank you, bow down, and thank you? Yang Gai said with a smile. …,

This assumption is definitely a "creative" assumption. Xu Guangqi laughed unconsciously, although the world that the emperor said was weird and funny, it was not impossible to exist, at most it was a little funny. Could it be that today's ethics and morality can indeed be changed, and there is no need to be lost? Or not? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not impossible, it's just that it seems to be too much red tape, but it makes people laugh, if the person who serves the food and cooks in the minister's house is a scholar, the minister will definitely treat him with courtesy......" Xu Guangqi said with a smile, as if he saw the scene of himself bowing to his subordinates and thanking them. Of course, this kind of scene, Xu Guangqi is not unacceptable, provided that the other party is really a scholar, for example, if his family's staff literati really bring him a bowl of rice, he will definitely thank him, which is true. Of course, if everyone is a reader, then ......

"Yes! The etiquette between scholars is indeed too cumbersome, Master Xu imagined that if everyone was a scholar, could this etiquette be omitted? In other words, if everyone is equal, can this hierarchical etiquette also be dispensed with? You can imagine a ......world where there is not much etiquette," Yang said.

Xu Guangqi fell into deep thought.

“…… Actually, these are not the key, the key is that the relationship between people has changed, and this is the key, isn't it? Yang Gengai asked, this is the essence.

“…… Everyone is equal......" After half a sound, Xu Guangqi silently read this sentence and fell into deep thought......

"Yes! Since everyone is a scholar, the relationship between this person and people is naturally equal, and the kind of thing that drives slaves and maids, despises subordinates, and oppresses tenant workers in the past will be a very serious matter according to today's ethics and morality, right? The right of the reader has become the right of all the people of my Ming Dynasty, right? Yang Gengai stared at Xu Guangqi and asked.

"......" Xu Guangqi was silent, this question, even with the special relationship between him and the emperor, he couldn't say it casually, the question seemed to be light and funny, but in fact it was too heavy.

Silent. (
