The donkey cart stopped outside the Donghua Gate, where there were already quite a few vehicles.

After Li Qingzhao got off the car, he met many elders and friends, and they greeted each other.

The guards checked the official cards one by one, and everyone rushed in, and soon took the carriage in the imperial city to the Ming Hall.

Today, everyone is very excited.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first economic banquet was held in the Ming Hall.

With Li Qingzhao's grade, she is not qualified to participate, but she has the status of being a scarlet edict. "Scarlet" means that it is not enough to wear a scarlet robe, but it is given the treatment of wearing a scarlet robe.

Arriving at the Ming Hall, which was personally designed and supervised by Song Huizong, Li Qingzhao cheekily touched the middle position. There were so many people coming to the conference today that she was afraid that she would not be able to hear clearly when she sat too back.

Zhang Gen sat at the front, closed his eyes and recuperated, and traveled leisurely.

He thought that his concession could bring the matter to an end, but he didn't expect that the emperor had just begun.

Regarding Deyun, Zhang Gen also tried to communicate with Zhu Guoxiang, but he sent several letters to the sea. Then he was summoned by Zhu Guoxiang again, and the monarch and ministers asked questions, but they obviously couldn't talk.

Today's sutra banquet is clearly Zhu Guoxiang paving the way for the "Ming Dynasty Official School".

The official school of the Song Huizong period was "new learning", and after years of textbook training, it is now certain that new learning occupies the mainstream. However, due to the foolish and traitorous ministers who are fooling around, a large number of non-mainstream theories against Wang Anshi have emerged, and even students like to secretly read banned books.

Zhu Ming is biased towards Luoxue, but he wants to cater to Xinxue, but the current integration is not complete.

And within Luoxue, different schools have also begun to be divided.

The son is not there, the ideological trend is confused, and Zhu Guoxiang plans to take a look. Because he realized that even the cabinet was "learning from each other".

Zhang Gen: Luoxue and Xinxue double study.

Zhai Ruwen: Luoxue and Suxue double study.

Li Bangyan: New learning.

Seed Master Dao: Guan Xue. Although Guanxue has been integrated into Luoxue, there are also differences in specific academic thoughts.

Huang Shang: New learning. Don't look at Huang Shang's harmless appearance, his network of in-laws and friends includes Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian, Lu Huiqing and Wang Anshi's descendants.

Xiao Chu: Luoxue and Xinxue double study.

Liu Ying: New learning.

The clues can be seen from their school, and the four cabinet votes in favor, three of whom are disciples of Xinxue, and one is a combination of Luoxue and Xinxue.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone stood up to greet each other, and hundreds of people participated in the feast today.

"Flat body, all give seats." Zhu Guoxiang said.

The band was also there, playing the repertoire related to the feast, and the ceremonial officer announced the beginning of the feast.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I am not familiar with the doctrines of various factions, and today you speak freely. You don't have to distinguish between right and wrong, just explain your point of view to me. Xiao Qing will summarize. ”

Xiao Chu immediately got up and said loudly: "The modern school is nothing more than Luoxue, Xinxue, and Suxue. Senior Luo is good at sex, new students are good at numbers, and Su is good at economics, do you think so? ”

Some people nodded when they heard this, and some frowned.

The number of names, that is, the number of rites, that is, the system, that is indeed what Wang Anshi is good at.

The economy was originally meant to help the people through the world, but the literal meaning here is very close to the "economy" of later generations.

Sansu and his disciples, are they economists?

In fact, the mature Su Xue, whose reform ideas were more radical than Wang Anshi's.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Wang Anshi's new law resembles a combination of state capitalism and a small-scale peasant economy. The state dominates industry, agriculture and commerce, and inhibits annexation, both land and commercial annexation.

However, Sansu and his disciples advocated a free market economy, advocating that workers, peasants and merchants should have their own benefits, and the imperial court should not care too much. They represented the emerging burghers, craftsmen and merchants.

A big government, a small government, it's strange if you don't fight.

Xiao Chu, an old guy from Luoxue, has studied the three major schools, and his thoughts are the same as Zhu Ming: "Why can't the three schools be united?" With Luo learning the reason, with the new learning to argue the number, with the Su Xue to fill the economy, the way of Confucius and Mencius is enough, why can't the world be prosperous? ”

Hu Anguo couldn't help but complain: "All three have it, I don't know the truth, I don't know the truth." When commenting on the scriptures, which one should be taken and which one should be discarded? ”

This is the truth, the integration of the three factions must have a trade-off.

And where there are trade-offs, it happens to be where the theories of the three schools are very different. No one will obey anyone!

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Since we want to distinguish between the root and the end and make trade-offs, we should start from the roots. Let's talk about the Cosmic Avenue first. Although Guanxue has been integrated into Luoxue, Chongqing learned the family Guanxue, so he started with Chongqing. ”

This is to explore the cosmology of different sects.

The Seed Master Dao stood up and said, "Heaven and earth and the universe are one qi, that is, Taihe, that is, the way of heaven. Lao Tzu said that there is a birth from nothing, this statement is fallacy......"

Zhang Zai's cosmology can be summed up as "monism".

That is, the universe is composed of a mysterious force, which is called "qi".

The gathering of qi is too void, that is, the sky, that is, nothing; The dispersion of qi is all things, that is, the Tao, that is, existence.

Heaven is the foundation, and the Tao is for use.

There is no existence that is one, and there is no such thing as being born from nothing.

The rest, as well as the theory of the mind and ghosts and gods, are all expounded from a materialistic point of view.

This is a kind of naïve materialism, which regards qi as the basic substance of the universe.

And there is a bit of an inextinguishable taste of material circulation, even if people die and all things are destroyed, the basic substances (qi) that make up people and all things are still there, and they can be recombined into new things through the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

"Definitely!"

Hu Anguo's representative Luo Xue stood up and said: "Every day is new, Gou is new every day......

Luoxue's cosmology is very different from Guanxue's.

Luoxue's Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Principle, and matter (qi) is born and destroyed, and it is constantly developing and updating.

He also believes that the "Taixu" of Guan Xue is not a Tao, but a tool. Only abstract things such as etiquette, law, and morality are the Tao, and the rest are instruments and uses.

Then, Huang Shang expressed his views on behalf of Xinxue.

Wang Anshi's new cosmology is derived from tracing the original meaning of the Tao Te Ching.

He believes that yin and yang are the origin of the universe, and that it is qi that makes up the universe.

The vitality remains immovable, which is the body of the Dao. Impulsive energy runs between heaven and earth to form all things, which is the use of the Tao.

There is no representative figure in Su Xue, and Zhu Guoxiang asked Zhai Ruwen to explain it on his behalf.

As far as the cosmology is concerned, Su Xue has nothing of his own, which is similar to Luo Xue's explanation.

After listening to this, Zhu Guoxiang felt that these were all similar.

is also Zhang Zai's Guan Xue, and its material circulation is indestructible.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Guoxiang asked about the world outlook and outlook on life of each faction.

The expositions of Guan Xue, Luo Xue, and Su Xue did not arouse Zhu Guoxiang's interest.

Only the new learning, Zhu Guoxiang's eyes lit up when he heard it.

The general idea of Wang Anshi's new study is that the laws of nature (Heavenly Dao) are not subject to man's subjective will, so man should not intervene. But personnel outside of Heaven must be done by people.

This is a clear demarcation between heaven and man.

Don't worry about it, we can't care about it, just do people seriously!

Zhu Guoxiang suddenly clapped his hands and praised: "What is the prediction of a good 'natural person of the husband's way', and a good 'only when it involves the shape of the instrument, it is to treat people's words and people's actions'." I couldn't distinguish the way of heaven and man before, and Wang Linchuan broke it in one word! ”

About 30 percent of the officials' faces changed drastically, about 50 percent of the officials showed joy, and the remaining 20 percent were indifferent.

Zhu Guoxiang added: "I don't completely agree with Xinxue, but about the way of heaven and man, I think what Wang Linchuan said is very true. In the future, the induction of heaven and man should still be based on this. The way of heaven is the way of heaven, and reverence is enough; Humanity is humanity, and we must do our best. ”

"Your Majesty......" Juan Guo wanted to debate.

Zhu Guoxiang interrupted: "There is no need to say more. I have already heard the ideas and views of Luoxue just now, and I feel that Xinxue is more reasonable. ”

Xiao Chu smiled silently.

Hu Anguo was already deflated by the emperor, and when he saw Xiao Chu's gloating look, he immediately rolled his eyes at this senior brother.

You Luoxue traitor, the emperor is in favor of Xinxue, and you are still eating melons there!

Prime Minister Zhang Gen doesn't care about this, anyway, he is a double study of Luoxue and Xinxue, but he is more inclined to Luoxue.

Vice Prime Minister Zhai Ruwen has expectations, and he supports Su Shi's free market economy in terms of economic policy. Since the emperor supports Xinxue's view of heaven and man, will he also support Suxue's economic view?

With the accumulation of experience as magistrates, Su Shi already approved of some of Wang Anshi's new laws in his later years.

Therefore, Su Shi's idea of governing the country is that the state actively intervenes in agriculture, but does not interfere too much in industry and commerce.

Immediately, Zhai Ruwen stood up and said: "The economic ...... that Sansu said"

After listening to this, Zhu Guoxiang said: "Su learned the art of economics, let's not talk about it for the time being, and follow the established strategy." ”

The established strategy was to count the population and land, split the migrants in key state capitals, and distribute the land and property seized by the old Song court to the landless peasants. In terms of industry and commerce, the imperial court no longer went out to do business in person, but it had to control important resources such as minerals, salt, and tea, and this control was weakened as a whole compared to the old Song Dynasty.

To be honest, it is very close to Su Xue's concept of governing the country.

The future official learning of the new dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is mostly a hodgepodge of Luoxue, Xinxue, and Suxue.

Forced stitching will inevitably have theoretical loopholes, and even contradictions in different places when annotating the classics.

However, as long as Zhu Guoxiang and Zhu Ming set the tone and make sure that the main idea remains unchanged, the details will be revised and filled by the great Confucians.

Zhu Guoxiang stood up with a smile and asked the eunuch to bring a blackboard: "There is an astronomical telescope in the Astronomical Academy, and Huang Aiqing (Huang Shang) has already seen it." Huang Aiqing, what did you see? ”

Huang Sheng got up and replied: "The minister saw that the moon was a big round ball, and there were holes on the sphere. ”

There were hundreds of officials at the scene, and some people had already quietly seen it.

But the vast majority of people heard about it for the first time, and they couldn't believe it.

Zhu Guoxiang drew a map of the stars of the solar system on the blackboard, and marked the name of each planet with words, saying: "I began to study astronomy in the old Song Dynasty, which is a small achievement. The telescope of the Astronomical Institute is open to the public during these two months, and anyone who is interested can go to see the moon. This concludes today's feast. ”

Hundreds of officials looked at each other as they watched the emperor leave.
