"Oh?" Lao Zhu was suspicious, and for the sake of Zhu Biao's face, he finally unfolded this book.

Originally, he thought that what was written on this recital was just a recital written by Li Shanchang who was favored by the palace, indicating that he supported the collection of commercial taxes and groveled to beg for forgiveness in the palace.

But the more he looked at it, Lao Zhu's expression became more and more serious.

"Come on! Go to Xuan Lao Wu, and Mr. Liu will come to see us! ”

After reading the recital, Lao Zhu couldn't help but stand up suddenly, paced in the hall and thought about it, and finally called Erhu and asked him to summon Liu Bowen and Zhu Su into the palace to discuss.

……

At this time, Zhu Su was still anxious about the affairs of Guozijian.

The emperor's confiscation of the honorable soldiers' talismans and iron coupons has long been spread in the city, and the literati were all celebrating each other, thinking that the emperor was going to put the swords and soldiers into the warehouse from now on, and the horses were put in Nanshan, and the Yuan Court was going to rule across the Great Wall.

Originally, now that the Ming Dynasty has recovered Liaodong and Yunnan, the land of the ancestors is already in hand, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty is already at the end of the strong crossbow, there is no need to spend so much tax money to support so many soldiers and warriors every year in order to fight to the death with the Yuan Court. His Majesty's move is to emulate the old wisdom of the late Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to release the military power with a glass of wine, and then he will treat the literati with courtesy and rule the world with the scholars.

At this time, the cakes painted for the nobles that night spread out again, and the literati Lin couldn't help but shout: not only did they not want to abandon the martial arts, but they wanted to divide the martial artists, so that they could be called lonely and overpowering the literati?

This...... How does this work? Who is it that slandered Your Majesty?

Then it happened that at this time, Zhu Su asked Song Lian to compile the first edition of the Guozijian Teaching Program, "Huaxia Treatise" was born, the book started from the Western Zhou Zhouli, the rise and fall of China for thousands of years, and finally pointed out that the rise and fall of China lies in pioneering and enterprising; The decline of China lies in self-containedness. Those who read should follow the learning of their ancestors, inherit the aspirations of their ancestors, and expand China.

This article is Song Lian's painstaking efforts, eloquent rhetoric, and a wonderful article. But it happened to poke the hornet's nest, and the literati ignored the knowledge in the text, and accused the country of bewitching the public with demons, flattering, and saying such a high-sounding thing about vulgar martial arts.

All of a sudden, Guozi was among the literati, and everyone shouted and beat him, so that many of the prisoners who had persevered before were forced to leave the prison due to pressure. There are not many people left.

It's become a big joke of the dynasty.

"How can this be justified, how can this be justified!" As the writer of the article, Song Lian trembled with anger. "Among these people, there are also many well-educated people, who actually ignore the meaning of the article in vain, and insist on pulling the article to a superficial civil and military struggle!"

"Those who are married to the Chinese are the ones who obey the rules and etiquette, and they are crowned in the world. Let overseas know etiquette, know honesty and shame, and follow my Chinese system, which is exactly what the sage said, widely spread and educate, and benefit the world! How can it be judged purely by force? ”

"These people take things out of context and far-fetched...... It's, it's unbelievable! ”

Old Master Song's childish face turned purple.

"Why be so angry?" Liu Bowen, who had already taken over the post of teaching, comforted Song Lian with kind words. "Your Highness didn't have a fixed opinion before, how can this generation of scholars understand the subtle words of the saint, but they just use the learning of the saint as the level of advancement. Even the words of the saints have been changed beyond recognition by such people in the past thousand years, not to mention Brother Song's writings? ”

"In my opinion, behind this matter, there will be a push hand for the Chinese. It won't be that simple. Liu Bowen asserted.

Zhu Su nodded secretly when he heard this, he also thought so. These literati were instigated by Qi Qi, although there were reasons for the dissatisfaction of the "new learning" that they admired among the literati after accumulating and exploding, but it was also necessary that someone fanned the flames behind them. Zhu Su could even guess that the identities of these people must be the civil officials of the court, and seeing that Li Shanchang was unreliable, he deliberately set off waves, wanting to make the court anxious and not caring about their evasion of commercial taxes.

"How can the matter of learning be used for court battles?" Song Lian was even more angry, what Guozijian is doing now is a major event related to a hundred years of China and reshaping the study of sages, and he can't tolerate it even more intolerable if someone takes advantage of this to make waves.

"It's okay, it's not a problem in the long run. Our country's sub-prison is an official school, and those people are making noise, after all, it is a disease of mustard. As long as the imperial court selects talents according to the path of new learning, those literati will pinch their noses and learn new learning. Zhu Su said. It's just that in the short term, there are some headaches, one is that the source of students is decreasing day by day, and the country promises to be in front of the door, and it can't be made to the point where there are no students to teach in the end. ”

The second is the voice of skepticism about the "Treatise on China". Although the "Treatise on China" is full of insightful opinions, there must be someone who can discern gold. However, most of the people in the world are people who follow the trend, and if they can't suppress this demonic trend, they may not be conducive to the spread of new learning. ”

"New learning is my plan for a hundred years, and it must not be lost. The top priority at the moment is to let everyone in the world know the ideas in the "Treatise on China", and it is best to be able to compete with each other, refute the nonsense of those people one by one, and also spread it to the whole world, so that everyone knows what the bad intentions of the old literati are. ”

"As for the origin, I have an idea." Liu Bowen said with a smile. "Confucius said that there is no class, it is better to take this opportunity to accept the sons of the poor family into prison, before I waited in the imperial village, I cultivated hundreds of sons of Zhuang households."

"These children are so smart and clever that they just fill the quota of the national eunuch, and if the poor family has the opportunity to continue studying, they will definitely be eager to do so. Where will you care about what those old literati say? ”

"Good." Zhu Su also nodded. "Those who oppose Xinxue are actually mostly landlords and squires, who boast of cultivating and reading heirlooms, but in fact, they don't touch the spring water. It is precisely because we have exposed the essence of their thousands of years of clinging to their defects, ignoring the general interests of the country, and only willing to talk about the wind and the moon, and unwilling to seek happiness for the world, which will cause their backlash. ”

"But among the poor students, there are many who agree with our new learning. We can set up entrance exams, but anyone who can pass the exam can study in Guozijian for free. Only by cultivating our own literati can we compete with the old literati. ”

When Song Lian heard this, he also nodded, and the old man turned his anger into joy, and stroked his palms and said, "Wonderful!" In this way, those people smeared us and others, but it became a move to select talents for my new study! Blowing away the yellow sand to see gold, those half-hearted prisoners, don't do it! ”

Liu Bowen is also the head of the jaw. Then he said: "Then the second point, does Your Highness have a plan?" Now that the wind of polluting my new learning is rampant, those people have no intention of arguing with us, but are only bent on smearing. ”

"I need to be able to keep my new learning from being stigmatized."

"I do have a way to do this. It's just." Zhu Su's face was embarrassed. In the past few days, the Xinxue literati led by Fang Xiaoru have also set up an altar to debate with those students who smear the Xinxue, but most of these literati are obviously not reasonable, these people are like keyboard warriors in later generations, they don't care about the truth right or wrong, they just want to use words to smear and spray down the budding Xinxue alive.

Originally, Zhu Su was not afraid of this kind of troll. Isn't it louder than anyone's voice, as long as you sacrifice the two killer weapons of leaflets and newspapers, sooner or later you can spray these trolls to the point of throwing away your armor. After all, most people are just brainless to follow the trend, as long as they grasp the direction of the right to speak, they will naturally defect to Xinxue.

However, Zhu Su encountered a big problem: most of the working capital he can use now has been invested in the two bottomless pits of steelmaking and firearms research and development, and he does not have enough money to run a large newspaper that can supply the entire territory of Jiangnan. Besides, he didn't dare to take this kind of thing related to the right to speak, it was best to let Lao Zhu or his eldest brother Zhu Biao come forward to undertake it, and by the way, he would ban the non-governmental newspaper from the beginning by decree, and completely put the big killer of public opinion in the hands of the imperial court, so that it was the safest.

Otherwise, if someone realizes the power of public opinion, he Zhu Su has set this precedent easily, and let others use the weapon of public opinion to counter the court, it will be bad.

You must know that those old literati were originally extremely good at using public opinion and clamping down on imperial power.

But now, the imperial court has only collected the 100,000 taels of commercial tax. Although Lao Zhu took care of the nobles, there is still no conclusion on how to check the taxes. Zhu Su is also helpless in this matter, after all, there is no one in the hands of the imperial court, after all, Yushitai is just some Qing Gao Confucian students who are not familiar with popular affairs, and the household department and those literati can be said to be in the same group, let them check themselves, what can they find out?

can only wait for Lao Zhu to use thunderous means to kill a group of people and make an example of monkeys, and then scare another group of people, and use this stupid method to open the first head of this commercial tax law?

"Alas, to put it bluntly, there is still no money to make trouble." Zhu Su sighed. Originally, I just wanted to ask my cheap dad for some money to study and develop basic technology, but I didn't expect to make a new school by myself and purge Xungui, but there is still no shadow of this money. Now the work of rebuilding the Guozijian and the newspaper office has been added, which makes Zhu Su want to instigate Lao Zhu to directly set up a big case and raid the house, and use the stolen floating wealth to handle the matter first.

Science and technology have always been the primary productive forces of a country, and they cannot be delayed! If I remember correctly, in a few years, the northern and southern dynasties of the Japanese kingdom will be reunified. If before that, the Ming Dynasty can't be allowed to form a weapon generation gap, and at the same time have the strength to deter Wadao while rejecting the Yuan Court in the north.

Let the Ashikaga shogunate smoothly unify the Wa Kingdom, and if the Ming Dynasty wants to seek this place again, it will be even more difficult.

"Fifth Highness, Mr. Qingtian, Your Majesty summons." Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone outside come to say.
