Is this bragging?

Chen Dexing frowned deeply, looking at Deng Qiuzhong with a depressed look, very disapproving. Just this guy, it is estimated that they are not very mixed characters in the Changguo Deng family. Can you still level Jiangnan 5th Road for yourself? And he has sergeant soldiers and eight banner soldiers, so it's not a piece of cake to fight Jiangnan? The trouble is only how to rectify the various righteous gates in Jiangnan.

"Hmm," Chen Dexing hummed noncommittally, "Is there any way, talk to the Lone King." ”

The down-and-out uncle Deng Qiuzhong stepped forward, gave a salute, and then said: "The grass people's method is to mess with Confucianism and etiquette!" ”

This sounds a bit like Han Feizi's point of view, Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban.

"What is Confucianism and etiquette?" Chen Dexing frowned and asked.

Deng Qiuzhong said: "Naturally, Song Confucianism is used to confuse the Song Law!" Caomin is also a Song Confucian, and he was born in Yimen, and he knows that the Song country has lofty ideals and has always had the ambition to return to the courtesy. ”

"Isn't that the same as the Lone King?" Chen Dexing turned his head to look at his father, Chen Huaiqing is a Confucian student, of course, he understands Confucian thoughts.

"It's just cranky," Chen Huaiqing said, "self-denial and revenge are on the lips every day, but they can't be realized." Therefore, from the law to morality, self-denial and repentance are all virtues. ”

Self-denial was proposed by Confucius, which can be said to be the political program of Confucianism. Self-denial can be understood as a soldier to fulfill his duties and work hard. The retribution is the restoration of the Zhou ceremony. Added together, the scholar should work hard to restore the Zhou ceremony.

But this weekly ritual seems to be unable to recover, so the self-denial and revenge ritual gradually have other explanations. For example, in terms of moral self-denial, everyone should be a moral gentleman. Know N glory and N shame, and destroy human desires. Save the heavenly clouds. Originally, it was a political program, but it turned out to be an ideological and moral norm.

But now after all, it's Song, not Qing. Confucian scholars still knew the true meaning of self-denial and retribution, and they dared to think about it in this regard -- in history, until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were still some great Confucians who dared to explore the true way of retribution. For example, Huang Zongxi, a great thinker in the late Ming Dynasty, proposed a set of methods to rely on clans and schools to implement retribution and restrain the rights of kings.

"But the king has seized Confucianism and Taoism in the dialectics of Putuo Mountain, and has implemented retribution!" Deng Qiuzhong took over the topic and said, "Since the king can reciprocate, why can't the Great Song Dynasty reciprocate?" The strength of the Northern Ming Dynasty starts from the retribution, so the reason for the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty is that it is unwilling to repay. If someone proposes to renew the country. To defend the way of Confucius and Mencius. Jiangnan Yimen Confucianism, how not to follow in groups? ”

"That's ......," Chen Dexing pondered and asked, "If the Great Song Dynasty is reinstated, will it become stronger?" ”

Deng Qiuzhong smiled contemptuously: "If Song Ru reverts to the ceremony, the Great Song Kingdom will also disperse." ”

"Why?" Chen Dexing didn't know why.

"The king takes the meritorious scholar as the basis of the retribution, and the scholar is awarded with merit, mostly from the end of the micro, following the king, and receiving the title with merit. to seal the government. This is the right way to renew the ceremony, and the top and bottom work together, discuss the government for the public, although the repetition is not chaotic. ”

Chen Dexing nodded. This Confucian analysis is not bad. Most of the scholars started from the end of the day, which means that they have not yet become a huge and intractable interest group. Their interests are the same as those of the emerging country of the Ming Dynasty - the more the Ming Dynasty grows, the more land, serfs, and wealth they can get! And the North Ming grass has been created so far. It's fair to act and divide the seals. There has been no failure to seal merit or be punished. Therefore, the credibility of King Chen Daming is still there. The people below believe in Chen Dexing and are willing to follow. Therefore, even if they have the right to discuss politics. will still listen to Chen Dexing's words!

For the time being, at least, the aristocratic democracy of the Northern Ming Dynasty was authoritative - democracy and authority seemed to be antonyms. But in reality, it is possible to do one or the other, and in a mature democracy, the elected leader has the authority to govern. For example, in the later generations of US imperialism, the president and the parliament had quite high authority, and the decrees they formulated could also be implemented relatively well, and the legislative, executive, and judicial functions of the entire country would be efficient.

In some places where democracies are immature, elected leaders and parliaments do not have sufficient authority, policies are difficult to implement, and legislative, executive and judicial efficiency is low. If it can still live in peacetime, if there is a war, such a country will often perish faster than a dictatorship!

"However, in the Great Song Dynasty, the shape is complex, the righteous sects are everywhere, the strong clans are intertwined." Deng Qiuzhong glanced at Deng Minghai, Deng Ming'an and Deng Mingli out of the corner of his eye. "For the Jiangnan clan, the clan is on top, and the country is on the bottom! If the clan is based on the Zhou ritual, the kingdom will be scattered. It will be easy for the king to take it. ”

"Clan-based?" Chen Dexing shook his head, "How to implement it?" ”

"Gather troops with clans, and educate troops in clans. Discuss politics with academies and establish governance in Confucianism. ”

As soon as Deng Qiuzhong's words came out, the faces of the Confucian students in the room changed greatly. Because the method he said was Song Ru's deepest buried dream.

Song Confucianism is different from Qing Confucianism, who is a slave who kneels and licks the Tartars, and does not admire Confucianism at all. The Song Confucianism had backbone and ideals, and their ideal was to establish a Confucian regime governed by Confucian scholars and doctors and overthrowing the king.

This is the revenge in Song Ru's mind!

And in history, before Wang Anshi changed the law, Song Ru almost achieved his goal. The power of the king was restricted by the Confucian ministers, and he could not do anything wrong - the most important thing was that he could not collect taxes and fight wars indiscriminately, and although the country was weak, the people's livelihood was rich.

However, this kind of Confucian scholars and doctors did not have a system to guarantee the king's certain routines, so it was difficult to maintain it for a long time. Once he met the "promising king" who tried to cheer up, he quickly regained power through a change......

And this change led by Wang Anshi was regarded by the Confucian scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty as the root cause of the chaos in the world!

Jia Ru said...... I'm afraid not, right? Chen Dexing does not think that a "democratic state" based on strong clans will pose any threat to him. Even if the Jiangnan Yimen jumped out to organize the rebel army, they must be a vulnerable rabble - from a certain point of view, it would be a good thing for them to really jump out and be repaired again!

"It's okay if you don't," Deng Qiuzhong said with a smile, "As long as the Qingliu Matter Discussion can get up, Jia Yidao will be tired of coping, and the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be chaotic." And...... The grass people felt that Jia Rudao might not be unwilling, because he had long been tired of coping, even if he was sick and rushed to the doctor, it would not be strange! ”

"Good!" Chen Dexing clapped his hands, "Deng Qiuzhong, what you said is good!" But how are you going to do it? ”

Deng Qiuzhong bowed to Chen Dexing and said: "Please let the king do all the fields of the Deng family in Changguo, and give another 100,000 copper, and then go to Lin'an to Jiaoyou Shilin, and he will be able to mess with the law of the Song Kingdom!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Deng Minghai, Deng Ming'an, and Deng Mingli turned blue. What does this Deng Qiuzhong want to do? The land of the Deng family in Changguo is the lifeblood of the whole family! How can it be confiscated?

"If you don't confiscate the land of the Deng family, how can you go to Lin'an for activities?" Deng Qiuzhong explained.

It turns out that this is a bitter ploy, and it can be more confusing than spanking.

"How much income can the Deng family get from the land of Changguo in a year?" Chen Dexing asked.

"Fifty thousand stones, one hundred meters......" Deng Minghai replied with a sad face.

"It's just 40,000 pieces of copper!" Chen Dexing pointed to Shen Million, who was sitting in the corner of the room, and said with a smile, "Sir Shen gave the Lone King 400,000 pieces of copper, all of which were given to your Deng family as the capital for the Lone King to buy land." With this 400,000 yuan of capital, what business can't be done? Why bother guarding a few acres of thin fields? ”

"But...... We are scholars, we don't know how to do business...... "Deng Minghai is in a hurry!" 400,000 copper is a lot, but it will be empty!

Chen Dexing sneered and waved his hand: "There are too many good businesses to do, go find Deng Mingchao...... He'll tell you what business to do. ”

He paused, and then said, "In addition, the Lone King will give you another 1,000 gentry cards from the Deng family as an addition." As for the officials, they can't be given casually. The officials of Wu Beiming are all about doing things, not just writing some moral articles. If you have the talent to work hard, Changguo County will hold an official examination in the near future, and you can just go and participate. ”

The official that Chen Dexing is referring to now is actually a affairs officer, similar to a Xu official. In the next generation, he will be a clerk of a government agency, of course, there is no need for Chen Dexing, the king, to ask.

"As for your ......," Chen Dexing looked at Deng Qiuzhong, "stay in the mansion for the time being." He glanced at a few members of the Deng family and Shen Million, who was accompanying him. What Deng Qiuzhong said today must not be passed on! Violators will be killed! ”

……

"Qingzhi, do you really think what Deng Qiuzhong said is feasible?"

In the study, only Chen Dexing and Chen Huaiqing, father and son, sat opposite each other.

"Feasible!" Chen Dexing smiled, "It's just confusing people's hearts...... Our mouthpieces in Lin'an, the "Guangfu" newspaper and the "Tiandao" newspaper, will be blocked in a few days. Just let Deng Qiuzhong go. I think he's quite capable of making trouble, maybe he will make Jia Yidao dizzy! ”

Chen Huaiqing nodded, frowned and asked, "Then what should the Taiwan government do for my father?" And this...... Where is the government of Taiwan put? ”

The fight with Confucianism has come to an end, but there are still a lot of other things.

"Now Yizhou Island is still a desert island, we can only do it slowly, and the government will move to Chang......guo first," Chen Dexing thought and said, "The center of gravity of Taiwan's government is Zhoushan Island, since we have no land of the Deng family, we will naturally have to seal the land on Zhoushan Island." Almost 100,000 acres of land can be sealed for 3,000 soldiers, and I will arrange for the taxis of the Nanyang Fleet to be transferred over. Therefore, it is imperative to organize the land and establish a manor. Secondly...... It is to develop the money industry of Changguo! ”

"Qian Zhuang ...... Karma? ”

"That's right, it's Qian Zhuangye! The exchange of money and loans, as well as foreign exchange, were extremely important in promoting maritime trade. I plan to turn Changguk County into a money industry center where money banks gather! (To be continued......)
