The scene observed in the Jinchun Teahouse made Sun Chuanting come to a very pessimistic conclusion.

even predicted that Confucianism would be defeated and Xujiazhuang would win.

Why is he so sure? The fact that the "Jiangnan Times" with crude and inferior quality can sell 100,000 copies just proves that the foundation of Confucianism is still there, and the vitality is still very strong?

The protégé Feng Rong said: "Such fools can't help big things, what if there are many people? The foundation of Confucianism for 2,000 years is solid, how can it be easily defeated? ”

"You're wrong."

Sun Chuanting looked at him and shook his head and said: "The victory or loss of this public opinion war is not to see who can speak better, but to see that it can attract more supporters, "Jiangnan Times" boasts of itself, does not keep pace with the times, only knows the benefits of the tongue, and no matter how much it talks about the Tao, it is only 100,000 supporters, but the "Oriental Times" is down-to-earth and has attracted more and more support from ordinary people, and their number accounts for more than ninety percent, representing the real people's hearts, if more than ninety percent of the population is on the side of Xujiazhuang, even if they are all fools, In the event of a war of contradictions, who will be the victor? ”

The faces of the protégé Feng Rong and others suddenly turned pale, yes, from the perspective of scolding and polemics, "Oriental Times" may not be able to gain the upper hand, but in the perspective of winning the hearts of the people, "Oriental Times" has already won.

Sun Chuanting sighed: "If it is really a change unseen in a thousand years, but the Confucian students in the south of the Yangtze River, the Confucian students in the world, are still living in their own shackles, separated from the general public, can Confucianism not decay?" ”

……

April 4th.

Xujiazhuang, outside the harbor city.

Sun Chuanting and the others stopped, looked at the modern city in front of them, and fell into a daze.

At this moment, the population of Harbour City has reached 600,000, and the number of migrant workers from other places has reached 300,000, with a total population of 900,000, close to a giant city with a population of one million.

But the interior is staggered and orderly, neat and beautiful, and there is not much sense of crowding.

The average floor of a building is more than five floors.

In order to meet the growing industrial electricity needs of the city, a large supercritical thermal power plant has been added to the western suburbs of the city, with a maximum power generation of 500,000 K, but the most remarkable thing in the eyes of others is the 120-meter-high chimney.

The number of seaside wind power generation facilities has also increased.

In the sky, there is also a rather large hydrogen airship, like a giant eye, constantly staring at the situation around the city, bringing shock to outsiders with bad intentions, and it also has the function of relaying communication.

In short, after a while, Harbour City has undergone a lot of changes.

Go through a series of processes.

I got my short-term activity passport and entered Harbour City.

At this time, Sun Chuanting's mentality has been smoothly adjusted, no matter what new things he sees, he can handle them calmly and maintain a normal heart.

But the few protégés he brought with him all knelt, their mentality collapsed, their kneecaps quickly weakened, and their spiritual will quickly surrendered to the material civilization of Harbour City.

"Defeated, defeated, teacher, I will definitely be defeated."

"I understand, Xujiazhuang is not a merchant force at all, but the Mo family power inherited by the Mo family, you look at the exquisite institutions everywhere in the city, and then think about the concept of "people-oriented, people-oriented" upheld by Xujiazhuang, doesn't it happen to imply the Mo family's "love" thought, and the reason why Xu Jiazhuang is reluctant to change the dynasty is also explained, since love is equal, how can you sit on the throne and set the dignity, this is not contrary to the original intention of the Mo family? That's it, it's definitely like this, Xujiazhuang is actually Mojiazhuang! Feng Rujing, the doorman, excitedly said his guess, as if a blind student had discovered Huadian.

"Reasonable, reasonable, and only the Mo family can achieve such an amazing degree in the miraculous Yin skill." Another disciple suddenly realized the way.

"Oriental Times" is right, Confucianism has been inherited for 2,000 years, only a little breakthrough has been made on the philosophy of the sages, but in fact, it has stood still and become a tool of rule, which does not help much in social development, but Xu Jiazhuang, which represents the new life of the Mo family, can develop the Mo family to such an extent, the machine car can fly, everything can fly into the sky, many miracle skills Yin Qiao, bringing great changes to production and life, no, can not be said to be a miracle Yin Qiao, but science and technology!" This entourage named Cha Jizuo said.

"Since the essence of Xujiazhuang is the Mo family, then we must no longer despise and underestimate it, the Spring and Autumn Period, the world is not Zhu Jimo, occupying the position of the mainstream of learning, at that time Confucianism did not know where it was, the Mo sages were not inferior to the Confucian sages at all, it was the most brilliant era of the Mo family, and the decline was later, but it did not meet the needs of the rulers.

Protégé Feng Rong nodded again and again.

Then, his heart moved, and his brain turned, and he had the idea of changing the court.

If Xu Jiazhuang was just a pure merchant force, Feng Rong would never move this kind of thought, even if he put a knife on his neck, he would defend Confucianism.

But if it is the Mohists, this is completely different, after all, this is the existence of more than 2,000 years ago, it is the existence of long-term suppression of Confucianism, and it is a real academic giant, if you change the court to join such a force, you don't have to feel ashamed at all, this is a move to abandon the dark and turn to the light, it is to break through the self and pursue the greater truth.

As a matter of fact!

The ideological atmosphere in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was very enlightened and open, not only gave birth to Wang Yangming's school of mind, but also derived the Taizhou school with Li Zhen as a typical representative, the academic thought of the school completely stood on the position of the low-level people, advocating that "dressing and eating is the principle of human ethics" and "man is the way", "people must be selfish", encouraging men and women to choose their mates freely, and comparing officials to tigers and prostitutes, and their radical thinking is simply on the opposite side of the ruler.

Of course, Li Zhen's final fate was not good, after being arrested and imprisoned, he committed suicide, but his ideological writings have been handed down, and there are thousands of disciples, and even many of them have joined Xujiazhuang, which is an important source of talents, and played a great role in the early stage of Xujiazhuang's development.

In comparison, the whip of Wanma Qiyin is simply a joke, and there is no comparison at all.

Far from it.

Sun Chuanting listened to these speculations and discussions of his protégés, and felt that it was very reasonable, and he couldn't find too many loopholes.

And if Xu Jiazhuang is really the power of the Mo family inheritance and represents the Mo family in the new era.

It can be explained that Xujiazhuang can be built so developed and rich, that the people can live so happily and prosperously, and that Confucianism can be defeated and retreated in public opinion and occupy the absolute upper hand.

But......

Does this mean that you can change your court and abandon the sage ideas that have been held on for decades?

The protégé Feng Rong is very young and can easily do it, but Sun Chuanting is forty-one this year, and the so-called forty is not confused, it is impossible for him to abandon some things that have lasted for most of his life.

And Sun Chuanting's own character is the kind of indomitable, sometimes unscrupulous, and courageous character, a super strengthened version of Hong Chengchou, the kind of person who can be willing to give his life for the Tao in his heart, that is, he is an idealist.

There is no way to waver!

Even if Xu Jiazhuang put things like aircraft carriers and star destroyers in front of him.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting planned to stay in the harbor city for a while longer, observe for a while, see if he could find the defects and loopholes of Xujiazhuang, see if there was something worth learning, and see if there was any possibility of saving and preserving the Confucian Taoist system, rather than completely declining.

This may be his future mission and responsibility.

……

Sun Chuanting and his entourage entered Harbour City.

From the very beginning, its every move fell into the focus of the Xujiazhuang intelligence system.

And Xu Yuan, the owner of the village, seems to attach great importance to this seemingly ordinary person, and instructs to increase attention, and even take the initiative to contact this Sun Chuanting if necessary, hand out an olive branch, and see if there is any possibility of recruiting him?

If it can be successfully recruited, maybe there will be one more handsome and talented person in Xujiazhuang.

"Yes, owner."

Zhang Guoyandao, the person in charge of the intelligence system, was quite unimpressed, but a burly turban, what kind of handsome talent, the owner of the village thought too highly of this person.

……

April.

The controversy between the "Oriental Times" and the "Jiangnan Times" is still going on.

It's even just the beginning.

In order to win this controversy and defend Confucianism and Taoism, all the Confucian scholars in the Jiangnan area took action and wrote articles one after another, vowing to fight with Xujiazhuang to the end and fight until complete victory.

However, "Jiangnan Times" has issued three consecutive issues, and dozens of wonderful articles can be described as classics and amazing.

But some readers are finally horrified to discover a problem.

That is, there are more and more ordinary people who support the "Oriental Times", and every time a new issue is released, these illiterate and semi-literate people will gather in the teahouse and other places with great anticipation, listen to the newspaper read by Dr. Tea, and burst into extremely enthusiastic cheers and support.

When I read the highlights, I gave a rain of rewards, and the response was better than once.

Because the business of the teahouse has improved, the income of the tea doctor has increased, so the number of tea stalls in the tea house has increased, and the number of doctors who specialize in reading the "Oriental Times" has also increased, and the number of people who like this newspaper has also increased.

Even in some remote and backward small mountain villages, there are mobile newspaper readers, who run over to read the newspaper for a while, and they can actually earn a lot of rewards.

The most frightening thing is that many young children and primary school students, because their minds have not yet been formed, cannot understand the overly esoteric articles, but they can easily read and understand the articles in the "Oriental Times", and most of them agree.

That is, these inheritors and successors of Confucianism and Taoism were brainwashed by the "Oriental Times" early and defected to Xujiazhuang.

If this situation is allowed to worsen, Confucianism and Taoism will decline and decline in the internal self-esteem of their generation of Confucian scholars, and they will fall into a situation where there is no successor.

Panicked.

Some people with lofty ideals are finally starting to panic.

Just as they were thinking about how to deal with it, Qian Chengzhi, a guest from Xujiazhuang, suddenly launched a challenge in Nanjing, saying that they would set up a venue in Purple Mountain, provide amplification equipment, and hold a face-to-face debate that lasted for ten days, and they would invite 100,000 audiences who could represent all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty to come and let them vote and divide the winners and losers!

This challenge book, published in the "Oriental Times", immediately attracted the attention of countless Confucian scholars:

"Face-to-face debate, this can be had!"

"The last thing I'm afraid of Tang Xizhi is debate."

"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"

"I'm going to Nanjing!"

As soon as the news spread, countless literati rushed to Nanjing.
