Chapter 416: Blind Nonsense, the avatar on the gold coin

This matter is also very simple, as long as these real upper-class figures in Fujian unify their opinions and become better, there will naturally be some noble 'scholars' to do specific things.

This is the same as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategy of governing the country, Dong Zhongshu jumped out at once, "Brother Wu, you say, what do you want, brother, I will do it!" ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly told Dong Zhongshu, "My grandfather and my father, they have been engaged in the 'Huang Lao Theory' for so long, and they are no longer so poor and destitute in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. ”

"In addition, back then, the 'Huns' bullied my grandfather and my father, and now, I want to fuck them, until I go to Ya's hometown, and destroy these eight calves, but that, 'Huang Lao', is not suitable, so, Xiao Dong, it's up to you."

Dong Zhongshu patted his chest, "There's nothing wrong, look at me!" ”

Looking back, Dong Zhongshu found suitable theories from the doctrines of Legalism, Soldiers, Vertical and Horizontal Scholars, and so on, such as "Heaven and Man Induction", "Great Unification", "Divine Authority of the Monarch", "The Monarch is the Minister, the Father is the Son, and the Husband is the Wife", and the combination of 'Ka Ka Ka', a set of appropriate ideas for governing the country has been put together.

In the end, unification stuffed these things into 'Confucianism'!

As for why it is called 'Confucianism', firstly, this is the 'need of the Confucian', and secondly, whether it is 'Legalism', 'Bingjia' or 'Zonghengjia', various doctrines have their own treasures written by 'leaders', such as Legalism, Han Feizi's "Han Feizi", Shang Ying's "Shang Junshu", such as Bingjia, Sun Wu wrote "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Sun Bin wrote "Sun Bin Art of War", Jiang Ziya wrote "Liutao" and so on.

Only 'Confucianism' has room for operation.

Confucius once led some of his disciples to travel around the world for 14 years, and in his later years revised the Six Classics, namely "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Music", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".

According to legend, he had 3,000 disciples, of whom 72 were sages. After the death of Confucius, his disciples and his followers recorded the words, deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into the Confucian classic Analects.

That is to say, this 'Confucianism', Confucius Sage did not have any writings except for re-revising the Six Classics, which is also something that cannot be helped, after all, when Confucius traveled around the world, in addition to being the acting minister of state in his hometown of Lu for a period of time...... There is no then.

(In the fourteenth year of Dinggong, the fifty-sixth year of Confucius, the great priest did everything, and there was joy.) )

Before Dong Zhongshu, the so-called 'Confucianism' was also fundamentally 'Confucianism', that is, hidden learning, and 'burning books and pit Confucianism' was also called "burning poetry and books, pit warlocks (a narrator, that is, Confucianism)", and after the Western Han Dynasty, it was called "burning books and pit Confucianism".

That is to say, the rise of 'Confucianism' is completely the need of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then Dong Zhongshu summed up, in order to make this knowledge appear lofty, and then traced up to the two hundred you, and finally looked, hey, all kinds of other 'sons' have their own works, but 'Confucius' does not, which is very suitable......

Of course, there is another reason for the "Spring and Autumn Period", which is the history of the Lu State revised by Confucius, and there is a saying of "Spring and Autumn Penmanship", which is very in line with the meaning of the ruler, to put it bluntly - sycophants + cheating.

In other words, this is the fundamental Dafa of 'Confucianism'......

Spring and Autumn penmanship refers to paying attention to praise and disapproval in the selection of promotional materials.

The method used by Confucius to revise the Spring and Autumn Period is "pen" and "sharpening".

"Pen" is an addition to the record of the original "Spring and Autumn", and "cut" is a deletion of the record of the original "Spring and Autumn".

The ram family said: Confucius is "Spring and Autumn", "the pen is the pen, the sharpening is sharpening, and the disciples of Zixia cannot praise it." ”

("Historical Records: The Family of Confucius") has three brushstrokes. First, "for the Venerable, for the relatives, for the sage." That is to say, when compiling the book, it involves the Venerable, Yinye. Of the more than 800 events recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Period", in addition to the 102 records of solar eclipses, earthquakes, natural disasters, wind and frost, etc., the remaining more than 700 are all records of the major activities of Zhou Tianzi, princes, and doctors.

At that time, the resistance of slaves was one after another, and everywhere there were "bandits" and "thieves". These major events that directly endangered the rule of slave owners were not recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Well, to put it more bluntly, the superior people are all perfect saints, and it is impossible to have shortcomings, as long as the reason is good, the shortcomings can also be blown into advantages, if you really can't find advantages...... Then make it up, there can't be shortcomings in death anyway.

(Well, the above is all nonsense by the author, in fact, Han Feizi-Xianxue: Xianxue of the world, Confucianism, Moye.) Where Confucianism goes, so does Confucius. Where the ink goes, the ink Zhai also. Since the death of Confucius, there are Confucianism of Zizhang, Confucianism of Zisi, Confucianism of Yan, Confucianism of Meng, Confucianism of Qidiao, Confucianism of Zhongliang, Confucianism of Sun, and Confucianism of Lezheng. Since the death of Mozi, there is the ink of the Xiangli clan, the ink of the Xiangfu clan, and the ink of the Deng Ling clan. )

(It is true, however, that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no dynasty or ruler relied on 'Confucianism' to make the country rich and the people strong, but there were many merchants and soldiers, and people who were strong in law abound.) )

……

Now, the de facto ruler of Fujian is Wang Xuan, and these families here are Wang Xuan's supporters, so the arguments set by these people will naturally be summarized by scholars later, and then there are Fujian upper-class forces fueling the flames, it is conceivable that in the future, Fujian will blow a wind of 'Neo-Confucianism'.

Anyway, it's not the first time that 'Confucianism' has been pulled out as a shield, you can use it, and I, Wang Xuan, will naturally use it.

"Okay, this matter is so decided, go back and everyone will convey the meaning, let's talk about the next thing, you don't think that these things have nothing to do with the development of Xiaoliuqiu, as the so-called, the outside must first be settled, Fujian is our current foundation, if we don't build Fujian, how to expand and develop!"

"I'll wait until I understand, Mr. Wuzhou said."

The following group of people also expressed their understanding and approval, in fact, many things are like this, it's not that they don't know how good they are, but there is no leader, many things, no matter how good they are, they can't do it, which is called a snake without a head.

"Let's talk about the problem of money, everyone also knows that I am short of 'money', whether it is 'copper' or 'silver', my Ming output is underground, and the money in private circulation is not enough, that is, the quality of this silver can always cause some messy problems, there are too many loopholes to drill in the fire consumption alone, which also leads to a lot of inevitable errors in the business process."

This point, the people here are very experienced, first of all, there are a lot of copper coins afraid of being broken, and then the broken silver is not good to count the weight, and the third is that the lack of fineness finally leads to losses, anyway, there are too many troubles, but this has not been solved for thousands of years.

Hearing Wang Xuan say this, everyone is interested, everyone has seen a lot of Wang Xuan's magic in the past, if this matter can be solved, they are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he took out a bag and poured out a bunch of 'coins' to be precise, 'coins'!

Minting, especially the pressing of modern coins, is actually quite troublesome, first you have to adjust the proportion of silver, mix it with other metals, determine the weight, and finally you have to make a mold, and there is a pressing machine, the process is actually quite complicated.

This is also a technology that was completely matured some time ago, and it is just taking this opportunity to promote it.

In essence, it is a gold coin, a silver coin, a gold coin, one or two, with a gold content of 95%, and three silver coins, which are one or two heavy, five coins, two coins, and the silver content is 90% and the others are iron, zinc and lead.

These coins are bright, not easy to corrode, have high hardness, and the pattern is extremely complex and delicate, and they are completely one-time pressed products, and it is almost difficult to imitate without a complete set of equipment.

For example, gold coins, the outer ring on the back is rice, below is the production date, in the middle is a carved thumbnail of Xincheng, and there is a portrait of Wang Xuan on the front, even the texture of the clothes is clearly visible, and it is impossible to imitate the carving artificially.

Wang Xuan took the money and walked towards the crowd, each handing out one for each, causing no one to see this kind of coin for the first time in amazement.

This engraving technique is simply sensational, so delicate that it is fascinating to look at, and the comparison of two identical coins is absolutely identical, and there is no difference at all.

Moreover, the purity is extremely high!

Compared with the copper coins in circulation in the Ming Dynasty now, it is simply the difference between treasures and garbage, and those copper coins are simply too rough.

"This gold and silver coin is simply perfect, how it was minted."

"It's perfect, it's impossible to fake it."

"The workmanship is so exquisite, I am reluctant to spend it."

Looking at a group of family heads who were as amazed as the old hats, Wang Xuan couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that these guys were fiddling endlessly, Wang Xuan finally couldn't help coughing and the two of them woke up everyone, "Okay, let me talk about the value ratio, a standard gold coin is one tael, two or two coins and five coins, and silver coins are one tael, five coins, and two coins, and the exchange ratio is that one gold coin can be exchanged for one or two silver coins and ten silver coins." ”

"My Ming unit of measurement is too mixed and the accuracy is not high, so, I have also been readjusted, and I will send you new measurement tools when I turn back, the accuracy is extremely high, a pound is divided into ten taels, fifty grams per two cents, and everyone will change to a new measurement tool in the future, so that the data statistics are also more accurate, and the people below the province are doing tricks and feet in this."

"I know that the confusion of the unit of measurement is good for you when you deal with the government's taxes, but at the same time, the people below will also do tricks and feet from it, really speaking, maybe who suffers, so it must be all changed in the future, just start with my Fujian, after a long time, everyone will understand the benefits."

Wang Xuan's order did not cause any opposition, and it was not unified before, and to a large extent, it was also a relationship that was not promoted by powerful people.

After all, the last one who could unify weights and measures was Qin Shi Huang, and now, even the emperor does not have the ability to reunify, after all, there are too many interests involved, from the 'big and small buckets' when harvesting grain, to the big and small buckets when selling grain, a little difference is not a small benefit.

Lying on the line of unclear measurement and sucking blood, up to the big families, to the small officials who collect taxes, to the peddlers and pawns who sell, without the intervention of absolutely powerful people, it is absolutely impossible to be unified and accurate.
