Chapter 481: Mind Emancipation
In addition, whether it is a peddler or a pawn or a kiln sister in the old courtyard, what is discussed in the casual conversation is the equality of personality, there is no essential difference between Shinong and businessmen, and even the personality of the lowly practitioners is also equal.
An atmosphere of public opinion is gradually forming among the people, demanding the abolition of discrimination against untouchables.
Speaking of which, the initiator is still Chongzhen, because Chongzhen has canceled the migration restrictions of artisan lowly families, and has broken a small hole in the solid embankment of class solidification.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of effort to fix the class of peasants, industrialists, and industrialists, and from then on, the sons and daughters of peasant households could only be peasant households, the sons and daughters of military households could only be military households, and the children of untouchable people could only be untouchable, and only the sons and daughters of the people were qualified to change their own class through the imperial examination.
But now this class solidification embankment has been pried open by Chongzhen.
Then it developed to the present, there is a gradual trend of breaking the embankment, and public opinion has gradually demanded the abolition of the class division of Shinong, industrial, and commercial, and further proposes that where there is a Ming household registration, then no matter Shinong, industrialist, or lowly nationality, they all enjoy the same rights, and their children can participate in the imperial examination and are eligible to become officials.
The kiln sister of the old courtyard even shouted the equality of men and women, demanding that women enjoy the same rights as men.
Among these kiln sisters, Liu Ruyi, Dong Xiaowan and Kou Baimen, the three famous prostitutes of Qinhuai, are pioneers, and Li Xiangjun, who has turned from a famous prostitute to a female general of the dynasty, has become a role model.
In short, the Ming Dynasty is already on the eve of the great emancipation of the mind.
In this regard, people like Huang Daozhou seemed worried, lamenting that the world was declining and the people's hearts were not ancient, but open-minded officials like Zhang Shenyan were deeply encouraged, and Zhang Shenyan even published an article in the Huangming Times, threatening that the Ming Dynasty was creating a precedent for new learning, and that it would soon usher in an unprecedented prosperity.
In short, the current Jiangnan Shilin ideological level is extremely active.
Chongzhen took a cold and onlooker attitude, neither deliberately suppressed Cheng Zhu Lixue, nor did he openly pull the bias to help Yangming Xinxue, because if Yangming Xinxue can't even beat Cheng Zhu Lixue, it can't liberate the people of Jiangnan from the confinement of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and it is even more impossible to withstand the invasion of Western culture.
Only fighters who fight the battlefield can have combat effectiveness.
"Ministers, see the saint." Lu Zhenfei and Huang Daozhou and the other four walked up to Chongzhen and made a long gesture.
"Oh, the four pavilion elders have arrived." Chongzhen hurriedly put down the hammer in his hand, got up and said, "Please also ask the four pavilion elders to go to the grass hall in front for a while, and I will go over later." ”
Lu Zhenfei, Zhang Shenyan and Meng Zhaoxiang really went to the grass hall in front.
But after Huang Daozhou walked halfway, he turned back under the pretext of going to the toilet and came to Chongzhen, who was washing his face, to admonish: "Holy Lord, the old minister has a word, don't vomit or be unhappy." ”
Huang Daozhou opened his mouth, and Chongzhen knew what he wanted to say.
However, Chongzhen still said patiently: "What does Huang Ge want to say to me? ”
Huang Dao said with a solemn face: "Etiquette, so consolidate the country, fix the society, and make the king not lose his people." The lord and the minister, the etiquette is also right; Virtue is in the king, and the etiquette is also divided; There is a place for the big and small, the strong and the weak, and the number of courtesies. Therefore, His Majesty really should not be mixed in the head of the craftsman, which is a loss of courtesy. ”
Chongzhen's face immediately fell: "Huang Ge Lao didn't dare to agree with this. Therefore, the country has hungry people, and the people do not eat; The country has frozen people, and the people are not owned. On the day of the prisoner's report, the lord of the man did not rejoice. Now the fall of the Beijing Division, the north of the Yellow River is not under the iron hooves of Jiannu, tens of millions of Li Shu in China are looking forward to the king of the north to rescue it, when this extraordinary period, as the king of a country, since that time everywhere to restore my Ming homeland for the thought, things must be done in person, why not? ”
Huang Daozhou was speechless for a moment, originally he wanted to persuade Chongzhen not to mix with the lowly craftsmen, but Chongzhen retorted that I did this to recover my homeland, and in the face of this greatest political correctness, Huang Daozhou had no way to refute it, because if he refuted it, he would oppose the political correctness of the Northern Expedition.
You can't just say that we won't go on the Northern Expedition, right?
Of course, Huang Daozhou really thinks so in his heart.
This is also the thinking of a large part of people in science.
What's so good about fighting, killing, killing? Keeping half of the south of the Yangtze River is actually cleaner.
However, through this incident, Chongzhen's perception of science is even more negative.
It's a bit too much to do science, you really have to take care of everything, you have to take care of eating, you have to take care of walking, and even how to laugh has to set a rule for you, isn't this nonsense?
Where are there so many rules-breaking?
It's also particular about eating a meal and putting it on the left or right, why are you so idle?
Make a thumbs up or not, with your left finger in front or your right finger in front, you are particular about it, not too tired?
There are rules in all aspects, there is a set of rules for eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping, so that the order is true, but the ideology is also seriously constrained, the whole society is like a pool of stagnant water, without vitality, China's 5,000-year-old civilization has not been able to give birth to brilliant natural science, and the shackles of science are probably to blame.
Fortunately, however, the foundation of science is gradually showing signs of loosening.
Seeing Chongzhen's back walking away quickly, Huang Daozhou shook his head and sighed.
From the perspective of Huang Daozhou, it was Chongzhen's appeasement and connivance that led to the proliferation of Yangming Xinxue, which would make it difficult for the science of science, and Huang Daozhou had reason to believe that if it was not controlled and allowed to continue to spread, the Confucian etiquette that had lasted for more than a thousand years would collapse.
The fact that Shinong and industrialists are equal to the untouchables is simply ridiculous!
Doesn't this mean that the scholar has to deal with untouchables when he encounters them on the street? How can there be such a truth in the world?
If this trend of thought is allowed to spread, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which collapsed and collapsed, will be repeated in China, and the unified China will become a thing of the past, and China will inevitably fall into a situation of fragmentation in the future.
Thinking of this, Huang Daozhou felt even more anxious, and at the same time, he also had a sense of lofty and great mission of "even if he was broken, he must prevent the collapse of etiquette and happiness, and also prevent China from falling back into the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period".
Just when Huang Daozhou was moved by himself, a master sounded in his ears.
Looking back, it was the crown prince Zhu Cihong who was respectfully bowing to him.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Daozhou served as the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and served as the prince Zhu Cihong and the king of Dingzhu Cijiong for two years, so Zhu Cihong's master Huang Daozhou deserved.
"See the Prince." Huang Daozhou also hurriedly returned the salute.
Zhu Cihong straightened up again and said: "Master Rongyu, since the fall of Beijing and the northern provinces, my father has been lamenting all night, thinking about the Northern Expedition and recovering his homeland all the time. ”
"In this way, the prince also thinks that such acts of the Holy Lord are contrary to the law of etiquette?"
Huang Daozhou heard this, and his spirits immediately perked up, as long as the prince agreed with the Confucian etiquette, the Ming Dynasty would still be saved.
Zhu Cihong's handsome face collapsed instantly, and he said in his heart, Master Huang, you are so uninteresting, you just said that, why are you still provoking? How did my father hear this?
Install the latest version. 】
At that moment, Zhu Cihong no longer paid attention to the zodiac Zhou and moved forward.
When the two of them walked into the grass hall, Chongzhen was already talking to Lu Zhenfei and the three of them.
Lu Zhenfei said: "Shengshang, this is the case, because it involves Concubine Li, so the ministers dare not be arbitrary, and I want to ask the Shengshang to determine the next article first." ”
Chongzhen asked rhetorically, "What does your cabinet mean?" ”
Lu Zhenfei said: "What our cabinet means is to simply take this opportunity to change the Tusi such as the Shuixi Xuanwei Division to the stream, and eradicate all the Tusi in the southwest once and for all." ”
Dare to love is Shuixi's consolation to make An Kun come to sue the royal court.
said that Concubine Li was also the deputy chief soldier of Huguang, Li Xiangjun, who maliciously abducted the local people of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division.
The cause of the incident was that Li Xiangjun first exempted the imperial grain for five years in Zunyi Mansion and then followed Juntian.
As a result, after the news spread, the local people within a radius of hundreds of miles poured into Zunyi Mansion one after another.
In a word, the Han people in this era lived a hard life, but the natives in the southwest were even more difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were ants.
Later tourist attractions talked about the toast system in the southwest, and only told tourists about the good aspects, but the cruel aspects of the toast were never mentioned.
To put it bluntly, the toast system is actually serfdom.
The vast number of local people are the slaves of the big and small toast masters, and their status is far inferior to that of tenant farmers.
At least it is illegal for the landlord to kill tenant farmers, but the old man of Tusi is no different from killing livestock.
So after hearing the story of Li Xiangjun in Zunyi Mansion, the local people of hundreds of miles around fled from their hometowns to Zunyi, in the final analysis, human beings' yearning for a better life is the same.
No matter how ignorant, uneducated, or foolish as a person is by religious brainwashing, he always hopes that he and his children can live a prosperous and beautiful life.
However, the flight of these natives moved the interests of An Kun and other southwestern Tusi.
"It's good to be able to solve the Southwest Toast once and for all, but I'm afraid that good intentions will do bad things." Chongzhen sighed lightly and said, "Lu Ge Lao, you also know that Huaxia and the others are still fighting hard against the wolf soldiers in Guangxi until now. ”
In October last year, Chen Bangyan, Chen Zizhuang, and Zhang Jiayu led 3,000 new troops into Guangxi, and while Qingzhang divided the cultivated land under the name of the Jingjiang Palace, they changed the land and returned it to the river, which led to a rebellion by dozens of Tusi in Guangxi.
Because Chen Bangyan and the other three were tired of coping, Chongzhen ordered Huaxia to lead 5,000 new troops to aid Guangxi.
As a result, seven months have passed now, and they have not yet pacified the rebellious Guangxi Tusi.
Lu Zhenfei, Zhang Shenyan and Meng Zhaoxiang's faces showed surprise: "Didn't the saint even know? ”
"Know what?" Chongzhen looked confused.
"It's a miscalculation on the part of the minister."
Lu Zhenfei said busily.
[The situation is better, but there is still a low-grade fever, and I sweat when I sit, these two chapters are drafts written before Yang, and now they are sent out after revision, and I can write one or two chapters today depending on the situation, and then send them tomorrow]
