Gangnam is important! Even the Qing court knew that "Jiangnan is a region of wealth." Jiangnan is safe, the world is safe; Jiangnan is in danger, and the whole world is in danger".

There are also many literati in Jiangnan, and it is the base camp of the so-called Donglin Party and Qingliu. These solidified families of plutocrats and bureaucrats stand on the moral high ground, and whenever they formulate policies that touch their interests in the slightest, they are scolded like mad dogs. It was the overwhelming invective, as well as the self-interested boycott, that caused the Ming Dynasty to fall and the people to lose their way.

The easiest way is to use a butcher's knife to shut them up, but it is Zhu Yongxing's last choice. He was interested in recruiting celebrities and scholars, and he wanted to solve it in another way. Cultivating history, showing black and white, good and evil, will be sagefully Minghua Donglin Party and Qingliu down the altar, pointed out by thousands of people, spurned by the group, and also contended with the Qing Xiu's "History of the Ming Dynasty".

That's right, the right to speak and the right to public opinion should be in your own hands, and the influence of celebrities and scholars is very important. And this scholar Shuoru is not invited casually, he has to go through selection, he must not be stubborn and read dead books, his family background is deep, and he is not considered to be more powerful in Jiangnan.

The reason why Ye Hu was a little hesitant when he proposed to build yì was because he knew a little bit about Zhu Yongxing's psychology. Zhu Yongxing had a strange disgust for scribes who could not be used by the world.

Just like those literati who agitated their lips and tried their best to portray Qian Qianyi as a lewd white-nosed clown, but in fact, their life and behavior were not necessarily very glorious in comparison. When Qian Qianyi died nine times and tried his best to make up for his past mistakes with his own practical actions, these "masters and righteous people" were also as Lu Xun said, and finally traveled to the forest to the end of their lives, and in a few years, their children and grandchildren could also be grandiose in the new dynasty.

Fame is in vain, wealth is like a dream. Loyal ministers are afraid of pain, hoes are afraid of weight, and they have been writing books for 20 years and can only cover the urn, are people useful? This down-and-out self-deprecation coincides with Zhu Yongxing's impression of many so-called literati, and he talks rhetorically without a solution; A thousand words. But there is nothing to do. There is no power to bind the chicken, and there is no mouth to mislead the country, so don't want such a literati.

Recruiting celebrities and scholars to re-establish Neo-Confucianism and carry forward Neo-Confucianism is a great event for a thousand years to look to the future and make the Chinese nation stand tall among the nations of the world.

In fact, it can't be called new, many Confucian theories were originally simple truths, but in the past dynasties, through the rulers and royal literati continue to "purify" and tamper with the interpretation. It has lost its original face.

For example, Mencius, the "sub-sage" who gave full play to Confucius's benevolence and righteousness, was almost deprived of the qualification to enjoy the Confucian Temple by Zhu Chongba, who was born as a cattle herder, because of the sayings "the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light", and "if the people are violent, the country will be killed", etc., Zhu Chongba, who was born as a cattle herder, was almost deprived of the qualification to enjoy the Confucian Temple, and finally deleted 85 places in the whole book of "Mencius". Compiled the "Mencius Verses".

On a more level, the rulers of all dynasties have more or less suppressed speech. The fundamental reason is still the contention and contradiction between the "rule of law" representing secular power and the "Taoist system" representing ideology. Zhu Yuanzhang's "deletion of Meng" was to merge the "governing system" and the "Taoist system" into one and establish a new Taoist system. The crux of this "new Taoism" lies in the fact that even if the law is evil, it is still the law, even if it is a tyrant. It is also a king, and the absolute authority of the "law" and "king" cannot be doubted, let alone resist.

Competing with Confucians for the right to speak in Taoism, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely succeed, because he is backed by the state and holds the power of life and death. to Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. It is even more bullish, he directly declared: "The Taoist system is there, and the ruling system is also there." Since then, only the emperor is the greatest theorist and thinker, and only the holy decree is the standard for judging the merits of a single thing, and the traditional Confucian Taoist system above the monarchy has been completely subverted.

Unrestrained power is bound to be abused, and it is the same as absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Zhu Yongxing thinks deeply, it is by no means a simple retro and deletion. There is correction, inheritance, and development, and it is inevitable that an ideological theory will be abandoned by the express train of history if it cannot progress according to the times.

Qian Qianyi, although there are stains, but his knowledge is good, he is the leader of the literary world at that time, and he has the act of awakening, which can be used; Lu Liuliang, although he was admitted to the Qing court, he has always kept in touch with Zhang Huangyan and others who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, and expressed deep remorse and self-blame for the examination experience, which is available; Huang Zongxi, who sold his property, resisted the Qing Dynasty many times, and then wrote books in seclusion, which was available; Gu Yanwu, well, available......

Zhu Yongxing first roughly selected his favorite celebrities and scholars, and then ordered people to find as many books as possible written by these people, which were translated and recited by Duan Wan'er, in order to have a deeper understanding. In order to speed up the time, he also invited Zhang Huangyan to consult him directly, and benefited a lot.

Gu Yanwu advocated "benefiting the country and enriching the people", and believed that "those who are good for the country should hide it from the people". He advocated the application of the world and opposed empty talk. He boldly doubted the power of the monarchy and put forward the idea of "rule by the many" with the colors of the early democratic Enlightenment. The slogan he put forward, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man," has far-reaching significance and influence, and has become a spiritual force that inspires the Chinese nation to forge ahead.

Huang Zongxi is versatile and erudite, and has studied the hundred schools of scripture and history, astronomy, arithmetic, music, interpretation, and Taoism, especially in historiography. In terms of philosophy and political thought, he is a person who criticizes the absolute monarchy from the standpoint of "people-oriented", and can be said to be the first person to enlighten Chinese thought.

To Zhu Yongxing's surprise, Huang Zongxi is also very good at economics. The "harm of accumulation" summarized by him is called "Huang Zongxi's law". It is said that there have been more than one tax and fee reform in history, but after each tax and fee reform, due to the limitations of the social and political environment at that time, the peasants' burdens rose to a higher level than before the reform after falling for a period of time. It is also feasible to conduct an in-depth study of this law and extend it to the tax burden of industrial social enterprises.

At this moment, compared with Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, the status of Qian Qianyi, Lu Liuliang and others in Zhu Yongxing's mind instantly declined.

These two people are the pillars of the ideology and theory they need. Zhu Yongxing was amazed and sighed, and immediately gave an order to the Intelligence Bureau, asking the two to go south at any cost, and ensuring the safety of the two at any cost.

As for Qian Qianyi, Lu Liuliang and others, if they want to come, they will come, and if they don't want to come, they will write books at home. Since Zhu Yongxing had moved his mind, he went back to Corporal Lixian, wrote a letter by himself, and stamped it with a seal to show his attention.
