Wang Anshi and Wang Yan glanced at each other, and then got up and solemnly shook it again, "If we can save the tragedy of the Great Song Dynasty falling into the hands of barbarians, my father and son will be willing even if they are like Shang Jun and Wu Qi." ”

Shen Long couldn't help but shake his head, "It's too simple to be able to accomplish such a big thing with just a few lives, right?" "If this is the case, the Wuxu Reform Law will not fail, and Tan Si and the others will not die in vain.

"Dare to ask the chief, how do you want me to do it?" Wang Anshi also has this awareness, he knows that it is not a simple matter to succeed in changing the law and making the Great Song Dynasty rich and strong, and what he said just now is just to show his attitude.

"Dare to ask Jiefu what he thinks of Confucianism?" Shen Long didn't answer directly, but instead asked Wang Anshi and his son a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the matter at first glance.

Wang Anshi was stunned, he pondered Shen Long's intentions, and felt that he might be studying his own research on Confucianism, so he replied solemnly, "A certain person has studied the history of the scriptures since he was a child, from the hundred schools of thought, to the "Difficult Classics", "Su Wen", "Materia Medica", and Zhu, he has read everything; Peasant workers, female workers ask everything. ”

"Then Yu Jing knows its general situation without doubt, and it is not enough to cover the time of later scholars and the previous kings, but it is not enough to fulfill the saints...... He knows and then is alone, so he can take something, so he can't mess with different learning, but he can't mess up, so he can have something to take, so Mingwu Tao is also ...... The art of the husband and the saint, cultivating his body, governing the world and the country, lies in the safety and chaos, not in looking for chapters and carving sentences. Wang Anshi's words were sonorous, and Wang Yan couldn't stop nodding beside him.

This passage first said that the scope of his research is very extensive, not only the Confucian classics, the hundred schools of thought, but also medicine, Buddhism, and Taoism, have been carefully studied, and after research, he has come to the conclusion that Confucianism must be orthodox, and other academic sects can only exist as a confirmation of the orthodox status of Confucianism.

Buddha and Lao are only close to saints rather than true saints, and there is only one correct way in the world, that is, the way of the holy king inherited from the three generations, Wenwu, Zhou Gong, and Confucius and Mencius.

This passage is not too difficult, Shen Long has been in the Great Song Dynasty for so long, and he can understand Wang Anshi's meaning, so he nodded and praised, "Jiefu is a true Confucian scholar and a true scholar." ”

Shen Long may not agree with all of Wang Anshi's ideas, but he still admires the belief that the world is his own responsibility, "Since the millennium has fallen, there is indeed no doctrine more suitable for the Central Plains than Confucianism." ”

Although Confucianism has many problems, but we have to admit that this doctrine naturally meets the needs of agricultural civilization, but the world will not stagnate, and Confucianism also has many problems that are difficult to overcome, so it is inevitable that it will eventually decline.

"I don't know if Jiefu has thought about it? Why since the Han and Tang dynasties, all dynasties have been based on Confucianism, but they have all ended up in decline? Shen Long asked again.

"This is because the morality and politics are not cultivated, the traitors are in power, the Han has the disaster of the party, the Tang has the rebellion of the feudal town, and the Niu Li party struggle, so it has gone from prosperity to decline." Wang Anshi didn't want to answer, this is also the inherent thinking of Confucianism.

This answer did not satisfy Shen Long, he shook his head and said, "These are just scratching the surface, the root of the three-hundred-year cycle of chaos lies in land annexation. "Just as economic crisis is an insurmountable disease of capitalism, land annexation is also a terminal disease that feudal society can never cure.

"Whether it is the Han and Tang dynasties or the Great Song Dynasty, in the final analysis, it can be said that the emperor and the class who have mastered the land rule the world together, and in the Han Dynasty, it is the Liu family and the Haoqiang family who rule the world together; In the Tang Dynasty, it was the Li family who ruled the world with the Guanlong military aristocracy, the family and the scholars of the Han family; When it came to the Great Song Dynasty, it was as Wen Yanbo said, Tianshui Zhao and Shi Dafu ruled the world together. ”

"Officials, scholars, herdsmen and people on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Jiefu, can you say that?" Shen Long asked after speaking.

"There are still doubts about land annexation, but it is true that the theory of co-governing the world is true." Wang Anshi thought for a while and replied, is there anything wrong with this? Isn't this the case for all dynasties for thousands of years?

"These two problems are actually one problem, in all dynasties, the people who control the land are nothing more than nobles, monks and scholars." Needless to say, the nobles and scholars, as for the monks, there is a lot of land under the name of the Great Xiangguo Temple, which is rewarded by the royal family, worshiped by the believers, and purchased and annexed by themselves.

"At the same time, they also help the Son of Heaven to shepherd all the people, according to Jiefu's idea, these people should go up to the Son of Heaven, care for the people, do their best in the court, and sympathize with the people in the locality, so that the world is naturally peaceful."

"That's true." Wang Anshi's head promised.

"But everyone has selfish intentions, whether landlords or nobles, who do not want to have more land and pay less taxes, and they also have the ability to annex more land and push taxes and labor onto others; In the early days of the dynasty, due to the decline in population caused by war, a large area of land was abandoned, as long as it was not as tossed as Emperor Yang of Sui, ordinary people could live, and the country was naturally peaceful; But in the middle of the dynasty, the rich were connected, and the poor had no place to stand, not only could the people not survive, but the taxes of the court became more and more difficult to collect. This is recognized by everyone in later generations.

"That's why I want to change the law so that the people will suffer less." Wang Anshi interjected.

"I don't know if Jiefu has ever heard a sentence, taking someone's money is like killing someone's parents, Jiefu's new law is not a person's money, how can they agree?" Shen Long sneered, "Isn't this seeking skin with the tiger?" Jiefu was born in the Great Song Dynasty, if he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it would be a luxury to retreat. ”

Wasn't Zhang Juzheng's house raided after his death? The work of offending the entire ruling class is so easy to do?

"But if all kinds of malpractices are allowed to continue, and when the alien races occupy the Central Plains, they won't be able to fall, right?" Wang Anshi asked rhetorically.

"Their experience in this regard is even more sufficient, no matter how they change the dynasty, the governance of the world still depends on scholars, it is a big deal to change the emperor to bow, even the Yansheng family does this, not to mention the average scholar? They are not afraid of a change of dynasty, and some even see it as an opportunity. "It's just that the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty didn't expect Meng Yuan to be so cruel.

"Hey, in fact, in the final analysis, Confucianism is good at dividing cakes, but he can't make cakes, and he often gives himself more points when he divides the cakes, and he hasn't killed them when he starts to have more cakes, but when the cakes are gone, the peace in the world can't be maintained." Shen Long sighed and said.
