Colonize, colonize!

Later generations, when they talk about "colonization", they mostly think of the suffering of the Indians, the history of black plunder, and the evils of capitalism.

In fact, the fundamental meaning of colonization is to organize the people into a strong construction force.

Colonization is about creation, not destruction.

At that time, at the time of the Xia Shang, the origin of China was only a part of Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi, and it was surrounded by barbarians. However, with the expansion, the invasion of culture, customs, classics, etc., transformed those barbarian lands into prosperous places; The barbarians of the past have gradually become part of the Chinese people.

And in this regard, Westerners do not do well, mostly burning, killing, looting, and destroying. It was not until the steam age of the British that they began to build agriculture, develop pastures, develop plantations, and develop light industry, which can be regarded as embarking on the track of colonization.

Zhao Pu began to tirelessly instill the concept of colonization to his courtiers.

"The essence of colonization is to promote the way of saints!"

"In the world, there are barbarian lands, where the indigenous people are barbaric, do not know the etiquette and shame, do not know the way of the saints, wear animal skins, drink blood and hair, slash and burn, good people are martyred, cruel, pitiful......" Zhao Pu began to gush about the miserable life of the barbarians.

At the same time, looking at these courtiers, I saw that these courtiers were expressionless, as if they were serious for a moment, but they had a tendency to fall asleep.

couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, Zhao Pu said: "The way of a saint can't be done behind closed doors!" It's just, Li Qing's house. Can you explain to me what the way of a saint is? ”

Li Gang's head was shocked, and he woke up a little. said: "The way of heaven is beneficial and harmless; The way of the saints, for the sake of not. ”

This is the answer in the Tao Te Ching.

Zhao Pu shook his head, very dissatisfied, after Qin Hui hung up, Li Gang, who had lost his political enemy, seemed to be a lot haggard. was a little listless, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Ding on the side.

Zhao Ding said in his heart: "Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world!" ”

Zhao Pu said: "One hundred points, you can only get eighty points!" ”

And Li Gang's answer just now. It is a failing grade.

Zhao Pu looked at Fan Zongyin again.

Fan Zongyin replied: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" ”

Zhao Pu nodded with satisfaction and said, "One hundred points!" ”

Then. He asked, "How do you establish your heart for heaven and earth: how do you establish your life for the people?" How to learn from the Holy Succession? How to create peace for all generations? Does the Qing family know? ”

Fan Zongyin shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know! ”

Zhao Pu said: "You don't know. But I know! ”

At this moment, Zhao Pu did not have a trace of modesty; At this moment, there is no need to be modest.

"My Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire. What is the Celestial Empire? The Heavenly Empire is the center of heaven and earth, the center of civilization, and the land of the essence of heaven and earth! As the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, fate is to raze those barbarians. Educate and become civilized people, get rid of backwardness. Get rid of the barbarians! ”

"Back then, the origin of China, the former residence of the Yellow Emperor, was only a part of Henan, surrounded by barbarians, and Hebei was the land of Rongdi; Guanzhong Longshang, the land of Western Barbarian Qiangdi; Shandong is the land of Dongyi, and Hangzhou at this moment is also a land of barbarians. ”

However, those ancestors did not avoid hardships and dangers, did not avoid hardships, and constantly educated the barbarians, so the barbarians turned into civilization, and the former barbarian land turned into Han soil! If Jiangnan was not developed with those ancestors, Jiangnan may still be a wild place, and it is still barbarian. At that time, there was Jurchen oppression in the north, and barbarians in the south to chase and kill, and my Great Song might really die! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Pu laughed unconsciously.

The courtiers present figured out what the emperor meant.

If you want to be a good courtier, you must figure out the meaning of the emperor's words, be consistent, and wipe your butt at all times, this is a qualified courtier; And working against the emperor all the time, lacking a sense of tacit understanding, can't get along.

But the courtiers present, at this time, felt that they couldn't keep up with the emperor's rhythm.

The emperor said for a long time, but they were still confused!

Zhao Pu said: "Some barbarian countries often pay tribute to some rare treasures before our dynasty, and our dynasty gives back some gold, silver and silk, which seems generous, but in fact it is the most stingy. When the money is spent, there is no more, give it to fish, give it to fish. We shouldn't just send some gold and silver, it's too cheesy, we should also promote the Holy Way to other places, promote Confucianism and Taoism to barbarians, and educate them! ”

"The Northeast is Jurchen shamanism, the Western Regions is Islam, Tibet is Lamaism, and the Nanyang countries are many cults. And we should uphold the way of the sages and spread Confucianism, instead of allowing these cults to poison these barbarians, and let the barbarians continue to be barbarians! ”

At this time, the courtiers present finally understood, and it turned out that they wanted some scholars and doctors to go to the barbarian land and spread the way of the saints.

It's just that Xiu just met Bing, and he can't explain it reasonably.

Those barbarians, who don't know how to respect readers, put one on the shelf and be roasted if one is not good!

Besides, those barbarian places, or occupied by the Jin army, or the transportation is not smooth, or the plague miasma is a place, nine deaths and one life!

Zhao Pu glanced at them and knew what they were thinking, this was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated over the years, and he couldn't help but say: "The land of barbarians, there are many armies escorting, and it is extremely safe. Behind closed doors is not the way of a saint. Even if the Analects are memorized backwards, they may not be able to promote the way of the saints. The way of a saint is not how much to say or how beautiful it is, but how well it is done! ”

"Virtue, words, deeds! Standing is better than standing up for morality and words. It's better to say a hundred beautiful words than to do one thing! ”

"At that time, Confucius was outstanding in learning, and there were many people who were on a par with him. But why only the name of Confucius is left, and others are obscure, just because Confucius judges words by deeds, and deeds speak louder than words! ”

"At that time, Confucius traveled to various countries, Confucianism arose, and the world knew that Confucianism existed; Later, Mencius traveled around the world, and Confucianism became a prominent study for a while; And Dong Zhongshu traveled to various countries, and finally persuaded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to respect Confucianism alone, so that Confucianism is prosperous today. Confucius can travel around the world, can't you? ”

At this time, the ministers finally understood the emperor's intention, which was to ask the courtiers to follow Confucius and travel around the world.

It's just that Confucius only circled around a range of thousands of miles, but some of them wanted to go to sea to the South Seas.

Nanyang, damp and hot, poisonous gas, one careless is seriously ill and died.

This is much more difficult and dangerous than Confucius's travels around the world.

It's just that the courtiers didn't refute it, so they can't say that they won't go if they're afraid of death!

It's also a shame.

Sure enough, Zhao Pu said: "Actually, it's not a big deal to die, Da Song is dying every day, and the matchmaking soldiers are facing life and death every moment." Man is inherently dead, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. or die of old age in bed, or die on the belly of a beauty, or die on the battlefield, or die for the country, it is always inevitable to die. If it is because of the pickled girl, the body is empty, and finally dies on the woman's belly, it is filthy and lighter than a feather; If you die to promote Confucianism and Taoism, it is heavier than Mount Tai! ”

It's a pity that the ministers present are all old fritters and didn't listen.

I'd rather live as light as a feather than die as heavy as Mount Tai.

There is a taste of singing a one-man show, but what should be done is still to be done, but it has to continue to sing.

Zhao Pu gushed endlessly, instilling colonial theory. As the so-called seeing the dishes in the pot, say no to people at different levels. Just talking, a little tired, the courtiers present were all dying, as if their parents had died.

There was no questioning, no rebuttal, just a vigorous nod, which seemed to be very agreeable.

But that's the worst-case scenario.

At this moment, Zhao Pu is selling colonial ideas, not afraid of the courtiers' questioning, suspicion, and provocation, just afraid of nodding vigorously, and seems to agree very much, but in fact, he doesn't think so, and it doesn't enter his ears at all.

Talking, talking, Zhao Pu lost his interest and announced the dismissal of the meeting.

The sequelae of Qin Hui's death reappeared.

After Qin Hui's death, these courtiers were like castrated dogs, and they had no passion. These courtiers are declining, dying of old age, and no longer motivated. Waiting for retirement, waiting for retirement, as for colonial matters, I don't care at all.

Colonization, the benefits are great, it's just that the process is too long. It takes years, decades, or even hundreds of years to reap the results. And at that time, they had already entered the coffin and could not see that moment.

The colonization time is too long, and there are too many complicated things, and if one is not careful, it is easy to have problems, and the reputation of a lifetime will be ruined.

The harvest is not proportional to the pay, and it is naturally not positive!

"Sure enough, traitors are still needed, there are no traitors, the court is dull, there is no vitality at all, I don't want to do things, I just want to take power!" At this moment, Zhao Pu misses Qin Hui a little, and the traitor still has a role. (To be continued......)
