Gewu is also one of the core concepts of Confucianism.

Study and learn from nature.

From "The Book of Rites and Universities": "Enlightenment is in the object, and the object is then known." "Learning from things is an important concept of ancient Chinese Confucianism, and it is one of the core concepts in Confucianism, emphasizing the purpose of increasing knowledge and improving personal cultivation by observing the essence of things and exploring the truth.

Gewu is an important issue in Confucian epistemological methodology, and it is the cornerstone of the "Eight Eyes" in the Three Principles and Eight Eyes.

Its origins can be traced back to Confucian classics such as the Analects and the Mean.

It is a discipline of Confucianism that specializes in the study of the "principle of things".

However, the most famous source of Gewu Zhizhi should be a passage in "University": "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest. ”

This passage points out that the purpose of learning is to achieve the state of perfection, and to achieve this goal, one must first know one's own limitations and clarify one's goals, so that we can think with peace of mind and keep improving. This kind of "learning from things" is regarded as the core of Confucianism.

This is purely ideological.

However, what Zhu Jianji wants to promote is the idea of the discipline of "the principle of things".

In short, it is a scientific thought that investigates the nature and laws of things.

The people who came to participate in the small court meeting today, except for the governors of the five military governors' mansions, are all the elite of the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty, and each of them is equal to their own books, and even those governors have read a lot of books.

But Zhu Jianji said so openly, if you want to talk about what ideas to promote, it still makes everyone a little ......

Well, caught off guard.

It's so straightforward.

Everyone knows that what is popular in the mainstream of a country is actually based on the ideas of the ruling class of the country, and the interests of the country's superstructure are closely related.

This kind of thing is usually tacit.

For example, if you want to promote Confucianism, then you should reuse Confucian scholars, and if you want to promote Legalism, rationalism, and so on, you should reuse the leaders who studied these ideas.

Then implement relevant policies.

Subtly, a situation has been created in which the ideas that the ruling class wants are popular.

Of course, there is a lot of fighting.

And it's a battle that kills people without seeing the smoke, and a lot of people will die.

After all, for the sake of interests, for ideas and dreams, even in the face of imperial power, there will be people who will go forward and succeed, not to say who is right and who is wrong, but just the difference between positions and ideas.

Our Majesty Emperor Guang'an is good, I will give you a straight start.

To be clear, it is necessary to carry forward the idea of learning from things.

How do you ask everyone to pick up?

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Qiyu was also secretly shaking his head on the soft couch, our rabbit cub ...... You say he's stupid and not tactful enough, and when dealing with the affairs of his relatives, it's a drip.

Handle the relatives to death.

The balance between civil officials and military generals is also just right, so that the two groups can contain and cooperate with each other, and it can be said that the art of the emperor has been mastered.

But sometimes he talks and acts like an idiot in officialdom.

Speechless.

It is no wonder that the courtiers of the government and the opposition have a saying, saying that although His Majesty may be born to know, his personality and style are quite contradictory, and it is an abyss that is difficult to fathom.

It would have been a good thing.

The Son of Heaven has to make people incomprehensible.

But sometimes his son's personality is really too contradictory, and he takes many things for granted, without considering whether there are other connotations in it.

Fortunately, learning from things is also a Confucian concept.

After the rule of Renxuan, Confucianism has always occupied the mainstream of Confucianism, even if it is the mind of the sage Wang Yangming decades later, it is still Confucianism, so the ministers present quickly woke up, and Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, do you want to arrange a book as a textbook for official learning of the doctrine of learning from things?" ”

Zhu Jianji nodded, "Yes, this matter will be handed over to Chen Xianzhang of the Department of Education and let him start implementing it." ”

Took a look.

The directors of the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Health are not here today.

We are not in a hurry to make an order, and we will implement the big policy first.

coughed, "If there is no accident this year, Phnom Penh and Ayutthaya in Mobei and the Indochina Peninsula will be included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, about these three places, I think that Phnom Penh and Ayutthaya can each set up a political envoy and a metropolitan department, but Mobei is vast, and it may not be enough to set up only one political envoy and a metropolitan department, what do you think?" ”

Mobei is in the Mongolian Plateau, including Outer Mongolia in later generations, Tangnu Ulianghai, and south of Lake Baikal.

In such a vast territory, although the population is not large, the territory under its jurisdiction is too large.

At least two or more Secretaries of Missions should be established.

Ministers: "......"

Your Majesty, are you thinking too much?

It has just passed the Spring Festival, although the Mongolian tribes were stuck with us last winter and could not move westward, and this year there is also destined to be a life-and-death battle between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, but now they have not yet begun to dispatch troops, Your Majesty is starting to worry about the establishment of the Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Department and the Capital Division, is it a little too anxious?

Phnom Penh and Ayutthaya are the same, they haven't been beaten yet!

He Jian stepped out, "Your Majesty, whether this matter can be considered in a few days, the current focus is still to quickly increase forces, and strive to end the two-front war between the north and the south within this year." ”

Zhu Jianji shook his head, "The situation is already clear, the war in the north will end at the end of summer at the latest, and the war in the south will end in autumn at the latest, so since the outcome is already known, we must prepare in advance, so as not to be in a hurry at that time, and I think that as soon as the war is over, the four cement official roads from Gyeonggi to Mo, from Guangxi to Jiaozhi and Champong, from Yunnan to Nanzhang and Phnom Penh, and from Yunnan to Dacheng must start construction immediately, only in this way can we consolidate the rule of our Ming Dynasty in these territories as soon as possible!" ”

In order to repair these official roads, it is indispensable to need the cooperation of the local government envoys and the capital department.

So Zhu Jianji's idea is very simple.

Beat!

At the same time, the imperial court pre-arranged where to set up the capital and the political envoy of Chengxuan, and with the advance of the Ming army, the officials prepared by the imperial court immediately followed up to take up their posts.

In short: wherever you fight, you can rule there, and the official road will also be cultivated there, and at the same time, some people in the country who are begging for a living can also follow the official road to open up there, and bring about the trend of cultural assimilation.

As long as the official road is repaired, the power of the Ming Dynasty can take root in the local area.

So there's no need to wait until it's over.

Otherwise, the Ming Xiongshi will fight in front, and as a result, in the areas that have been occupied, all kinds of rebellions, all kinds of guerrillas, then the entire Indochina Peninsula and Mobei will be completely pacified, and the Year of the Monkey will go.
