Chapter 27 Xinhua Book Company
Liu Che welcomed the unification of Confucianism and the concept of the supremacy of monarchy, but he was very disgusted with the benevolence and morality of the corrupt Confucians, especially when Xinhua Bookstore had just opened.
The children of Confucianism regard books as the most precious treasure, pure and unpolluted by the "lower classes" such as industry and commerce, and naturally strongly oppose the emergence of such a new thing as the Xinhua Book Company.
I'm bah, Liu Che said with contempt in his heart: full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of male thieves and female prostitutes!
The reason why the family is called the family is precisely because of its "poetry and book heirloom", which completely monopolizes the books and books of learning culture, and the knowledge is monopolized. To put it bluntly, the heart of the rotten Confucianism is to keep his social status, and in this regard, the study of Huang Laozhi, who pays attention to the rule of inaction, is much more beneficial to the development of society.
Confucianism was not valued by the ruling class at all in the early Han Dynasty, and Emperor Jing only slightly improved the treatment of Confucianism. I didn't think about it, the pie hasn't grown big yet, so I can't wait to suppress it? Do you want to even open a place to sell books? Liu Che was very angry when he heard that several Confucian doctors led by Yuan Gusheng in the court had impeached the Xinhua Book Company opened in Chang'an City and threatened him with death.
No wonder Qin Shi Huang wanted to burn books and pit Confucianism! No wonder Han Gaozu wants to urinate and drown the Confucian crown! No wonder the Empress Dowager Dou in history wanted to throw Yuan Gusheng into the pigsty and let him fight with wild boars!
Originally, Liu Che also planned to integrate pragmatism into Confucianism and establish Neo-Confucianism, but now he has begun to think again, it is better to add the idea of joining the WTO to Huang Lao's study and establish New Taoism. Many people in later generations narrowly defined Chinese culture as Confucian culture, which seemed ridiculous to Liu Che. The most splendid period of Chinese culture was the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Confucian culture was nothing more than absorbing the ideas of the princes with a strong fusion force and strengthening itself.
From this point of view, the Confucian scholars are evil, just like a certain type of person in the company in later generations, when they see other people's unfinished ideas, they say that this is not okay and that is not right, and then they plagiarize many people's ideas, merge them together, and become their own ideas. (The author has experienced this) from Confucius learned from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu supported the development of Confucianism, and told people everywhere that Confucius was a good kid. After three thousand disciples of Confucius, they lobbied around, saying that no one else could do it, just me. It is no wonder that Confucius was not treated well until he died, and the eyes of all the princes were bright. I have already seen that this TM is a hypocrite full of benevolence and morality, full of male thieves and prostitutes, what a villain!
The art of Huang Lao began in the Warring States period and flourished in the Western Han Dynasty, pretending to be the thoughts of the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, which is actually a combination of Taoist and Legalist thoughts, and also adopts the views of Yin and Yang, Confucianism, and Mo. Liu Che felt that the strength of the early Han Dynasty was not only materially abundant, but also open-minded. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Chinese nation set its sights on the world for the first time. The formation of the Silk Road and the establishment of a powerful navy (do not doubt it, China's first navy was in the Western Han Dynasty) spread the ideas of the Han Dynasty to wherever the Han Chinese could reach.
Therefore, Liu Che decided that Yuan Gusheng was no longer needed, let alone Dong Zhongshu. Instead of making great efforts to change the thinking of hypocrites, it is better to cultivate a group of new Taoist talents, who are more open and tolerant than Confucianism, more positive and enterprising than Taoism, and more relaxed than Legalism. The library in Liu Che's mind allows him to extract the essence of the dross in an inclusive manner, and the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and they always look at problems from an objective point of view, which is always more organized.
In short, Liu Che's last advice to Emperor Jing was that since the rotten Confucians threatened each other with death, they should ignore it, and see that a few people will really commit suicide. The final result was as Liu Che expected, no one died! What the Confucian scholars lack is backbone, wilting, look at the Central Plains Dynasty after the Han Dynasty, is there still a bit of blood surname? It's better to be a Tang Dynasty, or because the emperor's surname is Li, he worships Taoism, and he is Huang Lao.
Although it must be admitted that the Confucian dynasty was sticky candy, just like the Southern Song Dynasty held out for fifty years under the Mongol army. Many brick families in New China are even more proud of the Chinese nation's inability to fight to death, and are proud of Confucian culture and peace-loving.
Lamentable! Hateful! Why can't you be ashamed of not being able to beat someone else?! There has never been a nation that has been complacent as a sandbag! They are all a group of rotten Confucians, can they learn from the Western Han Dynasty? Even if the strength is not enough, we have blood in our hearts, and we are always accumulating strength, thinking about beating him up.
Seeing that these Confucian scholars did not commit suicide, Liu Che was even more disdainful, and directly printed an anonymous copy of the "Commentary on the Analects". All the criticisms of Confucianism in later generations were included in this new book, and the government and the opposition shook for a while.
The Confucian scholars were speechless with the book, and there was no argument against it. The profound criticism of many great talents in the later generations for more than 2,000 years can be described as a knife to the blood, a needle to the bone, how can these little-known little Confucian scholars of the Jingdi Dynasty refute? was ashamed for a while, and many people took a long vacation and went home to study behind closed doors.
Empress Dowager Dou was very happy, she always felt that Confucianism was dross, but because of her limited talent, she couldn't argue with those rotten Confucians. Now holding Liu Che's "Commentary on the Analects", feeling that every sentence is saying what is in his heart, Feng Yan is happy, and asks: "Good grandson, who wrote this strange book?" Hongu really wants to see him. ”
"I'm afraid this person has been dead for years, right? When the subordinates were building the Xinhua Bookstore, they dug out dozens of urns and presented them to their grandchildren. When the grandson saw this article, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then it was published and printed. ”
Liu Che handed a roll of old and decayed ancient bamboo slips to the Queen Mother, and said with regret on his face. For the elite of the dragon group and the master of chemistry, the aging treatment of bamboo slips is like playing.
The Queen Mother took the bamboo slip, stroked it for a moment, and returned it to Liu Che's hand and said: "The bookstore is opened, and Fang Deqi is a book, this is the Taoist ancestor has a spirit." Che'er should keep this thing well, and the bookstore should also do it well, so as to be worthy of God's gift. If there is anything difficult, just come to the royal grandmother! ”
Liu Che was overjoyed when he heard this, as soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, who in the world would compete? !
In the north of the country, the business of Xinhua Bookstore is extremely hot.
At the time of its opening, although only the book "Lao Tzu" arrived, nearly 10,000 copies were sold. Liu Che is also black enough, and the price is 10,000 yuan. It's nearly 100 million dollars! Emperor Jing took the report presented by Sun Quan, and was almost paralyzed with fright. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the national policy of lightly leviing on small taxes was unprecedented, and the tax paid by the entire imperial court last year was only 5.6 billion yuan. Xinhua Bookstore earned nearly 100 million yuan in one day, which shows how rich the powerful and powerful are! This is only the Northern Que Jiadi, imagine the entire Han Empire, I am afraid that there are not a few people who are richer than the emperor!
Emperor Jing's originally excited expression dimmed, and then he became iron-blue, and his heart was even more determined to fight against the powerful and powerful, and he was also more determined and urgent about the strategy he had set with Liu Che earlier. He ordered Sun Quan to immediately go all out to supervise the orphanage, and all the money sent by Xinhua Bookstore was transferred to the special treasury to set up a "special fund" suggested by Liu Che, and the Shaofu was not allowed to embezzle half of the cent.
Looking at the endless stream of carriages at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, Tian Sheng's face was full of frustration, the prince didn't let him interfere in this big deal at all, and all the manpower came from the prince's Zhan Shifu. In addition to the construction company and the building materials market to make a little money, Tian Sheng did not get half of the benefits.
Just when he was very disappointed, the crown prince Zhan Shi came over and said, "Uncle Guo, but you have some doubts about the prince's decision?" ”
Tian Sheng nodded, and said without concealing it at all: "Such a big piece of fat, you can't see it, you can't eat it, and your eyes are greedy." ”
"Uncle Guo doesn't have to be like this, you need to know how many new books can you need? Today's grand occasion is just a moment. The prince believes that if you want to run a bookstore well, you must have a long stream. ”
Prince Zhan Shi shook his head and handed a thread-bound book in his hand to Tian Shengdao.
Tian Sheng took a look, and the cover was crookedly written with the words "Matters related to the establishment of bookstore sales channels", which looked like it was written by the prince. I have to say that habits are difficult to change, Liu Che has traveled for eight years now, Han Li still writes unsatisfactory, Wei Juan is red-faced every time he sees it, and he repeatedly said that he is not qualified as a master, and he didn't even teach the prince to write well.
Tian Sheng was ecstatic, as if he had obtained a treasure. Relying on what little reason he still had, he didn't look through it on the spot, but hurried back to the mansion, and couldn't wait to study the prince's documents and comprehend the spirit of his superiors.
