Chapter 815 Enhanced Edition

If we talk about this today according to Western freedom, it is estimated that only children in the audience can accept it. The monarchical centralized empire of nearly 2,000 years has paid attention to "the sky has no two days and the people have no two masters".

"Everyone knows that there is a new school of Confucianism that advocates a redefinition of Confucianism." Saying that, Chen Xie raised a publication in his hand and said: ""The New Wind of Confucianism", everyone should have read it. What did the sage say? Study and learn from nature! After a slight pause, he pointed to a telescope on the roof of the teaching building opposite and said, "Three years ago, the telescope was erected on it, and everyone here has seen it. Although the magnification of the telescope is not high, I think everyone understands what the moon looks like and whether there is a Chang'e on it. If it weren't for the idea of peering into the universe through the object, where would the telescope come from? ”

At this time, Zhou Zhiqing was much more sober, raised his hand to signal that he wanted to speak, Chen Xie nodded: "Please speak!" ”

"Grandpa Chen, the sage also said that attacking heresy is already harmful." Zhou Zhiqing said boldly, and Chen Xie smiled and asked: "What do you mean, Gewu Zhizhi is heretical?" Is the saint breaking his word and getting fat? In one sentence, Chen Xie didn't mean to chase and kill to the end, so he smiled and didn't continue. For this kind of mentality of a reader, Chen Xie still has a very accurate grasp. Since ancient times, scholars have a sense of superiority, and people who are accustomed to being out of the body abound, taking the words of the saints as a banner at every turn, and standing on the commanding heights to guide the country.

Since the emergence of the new school of Confucianism. The academic circles of the Ming Dynasty set off a vigorous movement to reinterpret the Confucian classics. The premise of this movement is to distort the original meaning from the standpoint of Confucianism. This kind of thing is quite shameless to say, but how many so-called Confucians have been there throughout the ages. Don't they all do that? Adding one's own personal goods to the words of the saints, taking them out of context, and distorting the original meaning are too numerous to mention.

After easily leaving Zhou Zhiqing speechless, Chen Xie continued his distorted remarks about Confucianism. In fact, Confucius advocated "self-denial and retribution", and Mencius advocated "becoming benevolent". Later generations put the way of Confucius and Mencius. Mix it up and add a bunch of things you understand. The so-called "taking righteousness to become benevolent" is one of the typical representatives. However, this is a category of moral requirements for individuals. It's not a political proposition. Moreover, the development of Confucianism is not static, since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been constantly changing, characterized by catering to the needs of the rule. Development to the Ming Dynasty. Confucianism has evolved from a political proposition. was cut into a mess by Zhu Yuanzhang's blade. Therefore, the one-sided theory of "heart" in the pursuit of personal cultivation was derived, and Liu Zongzhou was one of the representatives.

Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty was still thoughtful, so there was Gu Yanwu's "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband". In the Qing Dynasty, Confucianism became a simple tool, a tool for the ruler to appease the scholars, and let the scholars lead the people to be slaves with peace of mind. Confucianism is a department store, and it sells whatever the emperor wants.

That's right. It is not surprising that Confucianism has left behind a splendid culture and thought. A big country. The period when the population is tens of millions is considered small, and all the readers are surrounding an academic research, and it is strange that some results are not produced.

"The reason why a saint is a saint is precisely because he saw the essence of the universe in the Spring and Autumn Period two thousand years ago. Because the objective conditions at that time did not allow it, the saint could not peek into the mysteries of the world and even the entire universe. But the sages have given us a clear direction – to learn from things. This is a seemingly simple thing to do, but it is actually difficult. Without scattered thoughts, without the joint efforts of the whole country's readers, and without the unremitting pursuit of generation after generation, it is difficult to make an inch. The purpose of standing here today to talk about the idea of freedom is because the Confucians of the past made a mistake in their understanding and one-sidedly confined the thinking of the sages to a narrow range. As everyone knows, the sage's thoughts are lofty and profound, and they are the outline of future generations' pursuit of the way of heaven! Without rich imagination and keen observation, as well as the spirit of repeated pursuit of truth without fear of failure, the knowledge of things is an empty word. To put it mildly, before the birth of the new school of Confucianism, Confucianism was on a detour. But it doesn't matter, it's still too late to set things right, and it's not too late to make amends. ”

It is a must to blame the sheep's head for selling dog meat, or it is realistic helplessness. Under the banner of Confucianism, this trick is indeed the best at the moment. In any case, it is necessary to distort all the things that are not conducive to the development of science in the past. Seek development first, and when the level of natural science reaches a certain stage, the coat of Confucianism cannot be worn without deliberately peeling it off.

"In Dengzhou, in Liaodong, and in Jiangnan, I have been promoting the compulsory education system, which is precisely adhering to the idea that the saints have education and no class. Let's imagine here that everyone in the world is a reader. The world is not far away! ”

This is actually still nonsense, how can such a thing happen in the world? As long as human beings exist for one day, the mind cannot be unified. One person has one idea, how do you unify it? This argument is a paradox in itself and simply untenable.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, which scholar did not read a belly of the Four Books and Five Classics of sage learning? I also don't see this country and this nation developing in a good direction, people are selfish first, and they will think of their own interests first when they do anything, and then they will think of anything else. Why did the so-called sage Confucius travel around the world, wasn't it out of self-interest? While showing your personal ambitions, you can also promote your own academic ideas.

In the final analysis, Chen Xie is also a selfish person, not for his great country ideals and national pursuits, where did the fleet come from to travel thousands of miles, sailing in these years is not fun, chasing and killing natives in the tropical rainforest, it is also to die. While accompanying Chen Xie's personal pursuit, behind his personal achievements is a sea of corpses and blood of different races.

Chen Xie's speech at Zhangjiazhuang Middle School this time was naturally recorded and published nationwide. This can be regarded as a politically correct label for the new school of Confucianism, but of course there are still debates in the academic circles, and the traditional Confucians do not admit it, so everyone continues to quarrel. Anyway, those people in the new school of Confucianism, who take someone's allowance, do the work of quarreling and pulling hatred. Because of the quarrel, the newspaper is naturally very lively, and the readers have a place to quarrel, and they can also earn some manuscript fees to support their families by the way, and everyone is happy, right?

The two-meter-high earthen wall of San Francisco Colony is a tall wall of logs side by side. A row of corpses hung on the wooden wall, swaying in the spring breeze. During the past few harsh winters, the colony has not been peaceful. The wild Indians, despite being defeated and enslaved, still had many who refused to give up their freedom. When winter came, they joined forces with many people and launched a riot. The well-prepared colonists, losing only three Navajo servants, brutally suppressed the revolt, killing more than 300 young and strong Indian men. In order to frighten the remaining Indians, the commander of the colony ordered more than 100 people who participated in the riot to be hanged on wooden pillars in the wooden wall.

On the one hand, the brutal repression, on the other hand, the generosity towards the old and weak women and children, the lack of food and clothing, and the continuous brainwashing every day, the vast majority of people agree with the colonizers' statement. There is no shortage of food, drink and clothing, so why make trouble? If you don't cherish the generosity of your master, it's not a pity to die. Of course, there are also deep buried seeds of hatred, but they must be very few of you.

At the end of the winter, the number of more than 5,000 Indian slaves was reduced by five or six hundred, and in addition to the number of deaths from the suppression, some died of illness and accidents during the winter at work. Is it cruel? Cruel! But that's what history is! Even Chinese living in a peaceful environment in modern society don't they have their own views when they look at the cruel images of wars taking place here or there in the world on television? Not everyone understands that the nature of human beings gathered on this earth has never changed. The cruelest thing in the world happens all the time between the same kind. Even if some "Holy Mother" Bichi makes some so-called different voices, who knows that her purpose is not for some kind of benefit?

A team of horses appeared on the snowy road, and the flags on the distant posts kept conveying their meanings. A team of Cologne horses arrived with some goods, and they were going to make some trades in exchange for some much-needed supplies. As the long winter drew to a close, the Kölcomma, who were short of supplies, left their territory despite the snow on the ground and embarked on a trade journey.

"Colognema?" When Li Heng heard the report, his brows never stretched. The natives of this tribe are very arrogant in the process of trading. And he also robbed the Navajo caravan several times, and if it weren't for the lack of evidence and the defeat, the Navajo would have poured out and killed him.

Dai Zhiyuan also had a headache, this tribe traded the most wine before winter. This is so funny, the long North American winter, if you don't prepare enough food and cold supplies, what do you need so much wine for? And these people are not very easy to deal with, and the same thing always requires more supplies than the Navajo people.

"I think it is necessary to call the minds of the two tribes as guests, and we will discuss it. After the beginning of spring, the gold mining must be done as soon as possible, and by May next year at the latest, five armed merchant ships must return to the sea. We don't have much time to reason with these natives. Dai Zhiyuan's voice revealed a ruthlessness, and Li Heng naturally understood it. At the moment, the Navajo are more cooperative with the Navajo people, and the Colomma are always looking fucked. (To be continued......)
