Chapter 141: Confucianism Rises

ps: I promised a few book friends who gave a large amount of rewards, and today I must add more to repay everyone's love and support for this book, so there is a chapter of 6ooo words in the evening, Umei did not break his promise, Umei will not break his promise! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!

Scattered 11.8 billion yuan in half a month, Emperor Liu Che's mood can only be described as a storm, the happy mood of the previous days was burned, and the bad mood dropped a few expensive lacquer cups in a row.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager of Changxin Palace is in a happy mood, which is equivalent to letting him use more than 100 billion yuan to buy back the old lady of the Dou family to change her mind, this price is not worse than King Zhou You letting off the beacon fire to tease the princes, the problem is that King Zhou You is smiling for Bo Hongyan, he is smiling for Bo's grandmother.

The young man in Chang'an spent hundreds of billions of dollars to show a smile for his grandmother!

Whenever he thought about this, Liu Che felt like he was about to go crazy.

"I'm mad at me! I spent so much money to buy the emperor's grandmother with a smile, I am the most cowardly emperor in ancient and modern times! I made 5.2o billion money, and I smashed out 118o money in an instant, is God also teasing me? What kind of horse politics are you doing, what a fart! ”

The roar of anger shook the roof tiles, and instantly spread to every corner of the greenhouse hall, and Han Yan, who was promoted to Taizhong Doctor and regained his favor, could not persuade the emperor, and the confessor Ji Di was reprimanded as soon as he said a few words, and the others immediately pinched their throats and did not dare to make noise.

Han Yan occasionally accompanies the emperor to talk about witty things, but when he really does things, he often makes a mess of things, if it weren't for the deep favor he received and never attenuated, maybe his meaning in the eyes of the little emperor is still as good as his younger brother Han said.

Liu Che's roar lasted for a whole hour. Since the end of the morning meeting, when I returned to the greenhouse hall, I was yelling, if it weren't for the fact that this place was a forbidden province of the palace, there were many people, and there were many ears, eyes and eyeliners. Maybe the little emperor really jumped up and scolded his mother.

The little emperor knew very well in his heart that no matter how angry he was, it was his imperial grandmother after all.

At the beginning, Emperor Gaozongjing was also forced by the old lady to bow his head and soften with a hunger strike, and even if your emperor has the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, he will not want to escape from the old lady's Wuzhi Mountain.

"Shaofu! You're talking! What the hell am I going to do? ”

Cao Shi came back to his senses from the petrified state and said calmly: "Is Your Highness worried that 11.8o billion dollars will be wasted?" That would be too underestimating the skills of the ministers. Since the minister dares to agree, he is sure to earn the money back. ”

"What did Shaofu say?"

"The five-baht coin is just the first step in the reform of the money law, and there is still a lot of old money waiting to be recycled, and the minister estimates that this process will last for a long period of 10 to 20 years," Cao said. In order to improve efficiency, the minister planned to set up money exchange houses in the county administration of each county, and it was necessary to actively cooperate with the Taishou county orders of all counties in the world in order to complete the process of recovering currency in advance. ”

Liu Che asked eagerly, "How much faster can it be?" ”

"If it's fast, it's a year, and if it's slow, it's bound to be done in three years. The remaining number of privately minted copper coins will be less and less. Even if the princes, kings, and princes still mint money illegally, it doesn't matter, it's also very cost-effective to let them mint money to collect hard-to-find copper materials for us! Moreover, there are so many copper mills outside Chang'an City to smelt countless copper coins, and the whole process extracts 10,000 catties of gold from the smelting slag, 5o catties of platinum (silver), and other metals such as lead, tin, and iron can continue to be used. ”

"When will the hole of 11.8 billion dollars be replaced?"

"The actual total value of this asset is 1.3 billion yuan, and the minister's price of 1.2 billion is ostensibly Shaofu's profit. In fact, the profit is much greater than this, and the minister can sell most of the real estate in a month. The return of funds is about 2oo billion yuan, and most of the real estate, shops and goods can be sold within three months, and 5oo billion yuan can be obtained, leaving about 250,000 hectares of land worth 6oo billion yuan, mainly in Guanzhong, Sanhe and the vast areas of Kanto, most of which are fertile fields conducive to irrigation.

Only about 20,000 hectares is not conducive to the irrigation of the waterwheel in the field, the minister feels that these Zhongtian 6 can be renewed, within half a year can return the funds of about 5o billion money, the rest of the field can be held as the Huangzhuang, as long as the county order to cooperate with the manufacture of waterwheels, before the spring sowing to do a good job of the irrigation system, the minister is sure to let the Huangzhuang increase the corn field rent more than 46oo million stone every year. ”

Corn is about 100 yuan a stone, if you set up a regular closing warehouse in the granary in the county, when the spring flowers are blooming, take out the grain and sell it at a parity price of 100 yuan per stone, which means that you can get 4.6 billion yuan a year by selling grain, and you don't need to return all the investment costs for more than ten years, and the income from now on is earned in vain, and this business is more cost-effective than holding 6oo billion money in your hand, and many times even if you have money, you can't buy a piece of connected Ueda.

Within half a year, 7.5o billion yuan of funds will be withdrawn, counting 5.2o billion yuan of minting money, as well as 10,000 catties of gold and 5o million catties of platinum, and more than 1oo billion catties will actually be earned, and the real big profit is not the copper money stored in the treasury of ZĂ i, but the 230,000 hectares of fertile land, which will have a stable income of 4.6 billion yuan every year, so that the annual profitability of Shaofu will double from more than 4o billion yuan.

Liu Che was satisfied.

As long as he waits for another half a year, the savings of the inner treasury will once again recover to a high value of more than 2ooo billion, and Cao Shi will complete the complex exchange like magic, creating a huge fortune out of thin air.

Cao Shi's heart was full of taste, the Empress Dowager almost destroyed the money law reform carefully prepared by Cao Shi with a wave of her hand, don't look at the little emperor I look very satisfied, in fact, I may still be holding a grudge against the old grandmother's methods, the Dou family's arrogance is not relying on the old lady to control the field, if the two sides show that the carriage and horses are hard to fight, the result must be the Son of Heaven Liu Che Tou Blood.

Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the political struggle, everyone is equal in front of power, even if Dou Yifang does not have the female ambition of Gao Hou Lu Pheasant, but she only needs to imitate the Empress Dowager Bo to sit silently in the Changxin Palace, which can make the little grandson Liu Che uncomfortable, and occasionally say a few words that are not painful can make the little emperor angry half to death, after all, the elder and the young are there, and no matter how bullish the emperor is, he has to sit down and speak calmly.

If the empress dowager does not move, she will hold down the little emperor on the spot.

Fortunately, it didn't get to the point of tearing your face. Liu Che had no choice but to take a step back and divide the profits of the big dealers to the moneylenders in the capital in exchange for a basis for a compromise between the two parties.

Wei Qihou Mansion, just one month. It became a meeting place for Confucian scholars.

Confucian scholars or supporters of Confucianism in Chang'an City would discuss Confucian classics, debate major national affairs, and occasionally play with the six arts of the gentleman, such as dancing and writing, and swordsmanship.

"Cao Shi deceived people too much! How many people have died because of his wife's separation, doesn't he have the slightest compassion as a human being? ”

Facing Kong Anguo's questioning, Dou Ying sighed: "This is a win-win situation. The only losers are the wealthy businessmen who walk the world, and the heroes who are entrenched in Guanzhong. ”

Kong Anguo said indignantly: "Shang Jia Haoqiang is also the same person as you and me, they have flesh and blood, seven emotions and six desires. They worked hard to earn money from the fields, and the more they accumulated, they became propertied people, hired tenant farmers to rent and cultivate the fields, and gradually started their business, and never deceived anyone. Why do they deserve to die? ”

"Is it true that you have never been cheated or deceived?" Dou Yinghu said suspiciously.

Kong Anguo smiled and didn't answer. In his opinion, it is very necessary for the powerful landlord to exist in the class, the four people's system of agriculture and industry, and the powerful landlord should be the class of the scholar, not the class of the soldier in the military merit.

"Are you really going to go back to Lu to move the rescue soldiers?"

"Yes, this time the situation is different, so many powerful businessmen have been hit hard. I think this is a good opportunity for Confucianism to turn around, and it must not be missed. ”

Dou Ying shook his head and sighed: "I advise you not to go back." Even if you go back and invite the great Confucianism to sit in charge, it will never be more effective than the two great sages of Ram Shou and Hu Wusheng, we Confucianism have honest and upright people, but when it comes to the speed of the tongue to govern the country, it is far inferior to Cao Shi, although Cao Shi's words are very excessive, but the problems he pointed out do exist. ”

"Wei Qihou, what does this mean? Cao Shi is right, am I wrong? So what about Confucianism? Do you live in the countryside like this, and your name goes down? No! This must not be! Even if the truth I expounded is not correct, and my words and deeds are not as good as the two great sages of Ram Sheng and Hu Wusheng, but as a Confucian student, I must not do things and Confucianism cannot afford to be depressed! Kong Anguo retorted sternly, and his words were loud.

Dou Ying couldn't persuade him, so he had to change his words and say: "There is a saying in the Book of Changes, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time!" You are a learned person who has read poetry and books for a long time, you should know that our Confucian students never stick to the rules, Dong Zhongshu studied the Yin and Yang family, Han Ying studied Xunzi Legalism, Shen Peigong also read "Guanzi", Beiping Hou Zhang Cang is a disciple of Xunzi, from Confucianism to the master of the Huang Lao school, in the upper count Han Feizi and Li Si are also Confucian Legalists, no matter how the country is governed, everyone is changing, if you passively wait for the times to adapt to you, you are very wrong, the current situation is most suitable for our Confucian road is not pure Confucianism. ”

Kong Anguo said in a slightly mocking tone: "Could it be Xunzi's set of doctrines? I don't have much interest in that Confucian traitor, and if the art of governing the country is all his doctrine, I don't think I should learn it! ”

Dou Ying snorted and didn't like his tone, Xunzi is a Confucian talent he admires very much, in the middle and late Warring States period in the case of the Zongheng family mastering the general trend, all rely on Xunzi alone to support the scene, without Xunzi Zhongxing Confucianism there is no opportunity for him Kong Anguo to talk about it here, Xunzi's doctrine is regarded by him as a sublimation of Confucian classics, and his students Han Feizi, Li Si, and Zhang Cang have all become famous big names, almost affecting the general trend of the world for 15o years since the era of King Qin Zhao.

The young Confucian family is too ignorant, no wonder the Confucian family does not release the eldest son Kong Wu to experience, such a young man who jumps out of arrogance is not necessarily a good thing to keep in the Confucian family, he heard that the future heir of the Confucian family Kong Wu is a smart, studious, modest and cautious good student, I do not attach much importance to the disputes of various schools of Confucianism, Mencius, Xunzi and even Han Feizi's books will be read, with Confucianism as the backbone and the learning of a hundred schools of thought for Confucianism, such a thought is very popular with Dou Ying.

The Kong Anguo in front of him is very unpopular with Dou Ying, and it is estimated that Kong Anguo is not very popular in the Kong family, it is a good thing for people to be smart and learn things quickly, and it is not necessarily a good thing to be too smart to be self-righteous, Kong Anguo is only eighteen years old and is so good at winning, the concept of right and wrong has a strong individualistic tendency, Dou Ying feels that this is not the so-called pure Confucianism.

If Dou Ying knew the word "angry youth", he would definitely happily buckle on Kong Anguo's head. The logic of either/or, black and white, friend or foe is inherently disabled. Today's enemies can become friends tomorrow, tomorrow can be blackened into ghosts tomorrow, and ideas that are wrong today may become the truth tomorrow.

There are not so many absolutized things in the world, and there is no big problem with ordinary people to think that things can be called a simple two-dimensional world, and there is no such simple truth and falsehood, black and white, right and wrong, right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness can be summarized. However, if it is placed in the head of an academic master who aspires to revitalize the school, and in the head of a Confucian scholar who aspires to become an official in politics and become a general, it will become a huge trouble. Because he will express this erroneous two-dimensional view as his own actions, and the accumulation of small amounts will bring unpredictable troubles and crises to the country.

Dou Ying didn't want Kong Anguo to go astray, and persuaded bitterly: "Since the Han Dynasty, several famous Confucian scholars are not pure Confucians. They are ranked as the Nine Emperors or the Marquis of the Lordship. If you want Confucianism to become a prominent school, you must learn the lessons of your predecessors, take Confucianism as the form, take the law as the quality, and use the external Confucianism and the internal law of the governing thought, and the king and the tyrant are in line with the emperor's thoughts, and can implement the Confucian concept of benevolence and propriety. The long-term stability of the dynasty is the right way! Don't think that the old man just said casually, I saw Zhang Cang's statecraft with my own eyes. That is the Confucian statecraft that is very similar to Huang Lao's thought. ”

The Confucians of the Beijing Division listened attentively, and there was never a so-called pure Confucianism in Chang'an City, just like Dou Ying and Zhang Cang, 6 Jia, and Shusun Tong in the earlier era.

Most of those Confucian students were based on Confucianism, and they also studied and used Huang Lao, Legalism, famous scholars, and even small branches such as Zonghengjia and Mojia, and pure Confucianism was basically entrenched in the Qilu area.

Dou Ying's position in Confucianism in Guanzhong is special, although he has not been a Confucian leader, nor has he come up with convincing works, but his attitude of supporting Confucian scholarship and providing a platform is beyond doubt.

Without the platform of the Marquis of Wei Qi's mansion, without the gold-lettered signboard of the Dou family, without the prestige suppression of the rebellion of the great general Dou Yingping Wu Chu and Qi Kingdom, it is tantamount to a dream that the Marquis Kong Zang wants to support the Confucianism in Guanzhong alone.

Miscellaneous use of the art of a hundred schools, Confucian skin method outside the bone of Confucianism, this is the idea that Dou Ying is very respected, because this method is very in line with the Han family's idea of heavy punishment law, and the appropriate combination of Huang Lao's inaction can be used as a new school to shine.

However, the pure Confucians did not cooperate, and the sons of the hundred schools also scoffed, and the academic differences of various schools of thought like a chasm were by no means a simple blend that could become a new school.

More than 100 years ago, Xunzi tried to find a new way out of Confucianism and internal law, but he was criticized by the Confucian group for more than 100 years, and was almost beaten as a stranger and could never live.

Dou Ying knew that this road was not easy, and he didn't think about it overnight.

But the current situation is not good for Confucianism, and it is even more unfavorable for pure Confucianism, and he feels that it is necessary to use military and dangerous tactics to pull Confucianism out of the abyss with new learning.

The only trouble standing in front of him is Kong Anguo, who is constantly defending the interests of pure Confucianism and Taoism.

Dou Ying is looking forward to it, as long as Kong Anguo is willing to put down his subordinates and take a step back, he will be confident that he will persuade Cao Shi that the two sides will negotiate an agenda for a strike and a strike.

"Outer Confucianism and Inner Law? Wei Qihou simply said that the external law and the internal law are better, our Confucian things can't get into your noble eyes, whether you like the external Confucianism and the internal law, or the external law and the internal Confucianism, I am not interested in listening to it, forgive me for being rude, and I will leave! Kong Anguo left without saying a word, and the Confucian students sitting on the side were at a loss.

The two of them were still talking, how could they suddenly argue, and without saying a word, Kong Anguo got up very rudely and left, and the descendants of the Kong family, who emphasized etiquette in the past, suddenly made an unbelievable move, and many Confucian students said they couldn't understand.

Syllable!

The lacquer bowl was thrown on the ground and fell apart, and Dou Yingtie scolded with a rare blushing face: "Kong family erector, no wonder your family ignores you, if the old man is your father, he must have discounted your leg to save all sentient beings!" Shaofu Cao Shi made many mistakes, but there is one sentence that is right, you are the Confucian thief who spoils my chances of Confucianism to prosper! ”

Wei Qihou's appearance made many Confucian students very surprised, although he was not an orthodox Confucian background, but his talent and influence were greater than all Confucian students, in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, he was appointed by the first emperor as a general to lead the army to quell the rebellion, even if the military talent could not be compared with Zhou Yafu, but at least they did not blindly command and make trouble.

Dou Ying is also a man of insight who has read military books and war strategies, once led a team of 1,000 people to escort the emperor's chariots, knows the common sense and taboo of marching and fighting in the shadows, and supports Zhou Yafu's military strategy 100% when quelling the chaos.

He has led the army to the left and is a general, and has been the prince and the prince of the abolished prince Liu Rong, experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, experienced the rise and fall of human feelings, and watched his friend Zhang Shizhi be demoted from Chang'an, his best friend Yuan Ang died in assassination, and his comrade-in-arms Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was unjustly imprisoned.

Confucianism is fighting for the status of governing the country, now can not compete for the Huang Lao school of the three princes and nine kings, and will not be able to compete for the Huang Lao Xinxue of Cao Shi in the future, let it go on in less than 30 years, the influence of Confucianism in the court will drop to almost nothing, and at that time there is no need for Qin Shi Huang to burn a hundred schools of thought and hide in the Xianyang Palace, Confucianism will naturally disintegrate into a small school, and the status is better than nothing like the Mojia, the famous family, and the Yin and Yang family that were once despised.

Dou Ying pondered for a long time and made a decision: "You can't let him fool around!" I want to write a long letter to the Confucian family and the world's well-known Confucianism, and I resolutely can't let Kong Anguo's bastard boy mess around, and then let him blindly toss the eternal foundation of Confucianism, it won't be long before Confucianism is really over!
