Zhu Yunxi's speech was not only for the students present.

It is also spread to the students of the entire Ming Dynasty through the mouths of people with hearts.

He just wants all the students of Daming to know that there is not only one way to become a talent!

Confucianism is not orthodox either!

In the world, only practical knowledge is worthy of the attention of the imperial court! is worthy of his attention Zhu Yunxi!

After these words spread, the students who didn't know how many unambitious people were excited, and they were ready to devote themselves to practical learning.

Read for the rise of the Ming Dynasty!

However, I don't know how much Confucian disgust it has provoked!

They have worked hard to learn something all their lives, and now they have mastered it and have obtained the true inheritance.

I understand what is the principle of heaven and what is the way of heaven.

The Four Books and the Five Classics memorized a large basket.

Now they are told that Confucianism is out of place and will be abandoned by the imperial court? To be on a par with other schools that are not beginners in the imperial examinations?

How can this be accepted by Confucian students who are obsessed with being officials?!

Countless Confucian disciples gathered outside Fang Xiaoru's door, hoping that Fang Xiaoru would make decisions for them.

Advise the grandson to return to the right path!

Respect the Heavenly Principle!

Inside the door, Fang Xiaoru and Cheng Zhu Lixue's great Confucian gathered together, with a serious expression and frowning.

"Your Highness actually wants to weaken our Confucianism, how should this be good?"

"Yes, Your Highness is simply insane! He even said that other subjects should be added to the imperial examination! It's impossible! ”

"Since ancient times, the imperial examination has been based on the way of Confucianism!"

"Taisun is so deviant, it is really a road to self-destruction! Heaven does not allow it! ”

Although they themselves can't tell what Heavenly Principle is and what Heavenly Dao is.

But it does not prevent these great Confucians from using their conjectures and fabricated heavenly principles to restrain others.

Because as long as there is this heavenly principle in one day, they will have the greatest right to speak in the world! On the moral level, no one can ever question it!

"Silence!"

Fang Xiaoru stood up and stopped everyone's chaotic quarrel.

said: "Your Highness's move really does not put my Confucianism in his eyes!" He has offended all the scholars in the world! ”

"Sooner or later, I will be embattled, and I will have to bow to my Confucianism."

Fang Xiaoru calmly judged: "Since ancient times, my Confucianism has been the right way in the world, and this is definitely not something that His Highness can control. ”

"My Confucianism cannot do without the support of the emperor, but the emperor cannot do without the support of my Confucianism! The two have long been closely linked and complement each other! ”

"Since His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is unwilling to regard my Confucianism as orthodox, then my Confucianism will fight with His Royal Highness the Taisun! Sooner or later, His Royal Highness will regret this decision he made! ”

"What we really have to think about is not how to make the grandson repent."

"It's about how to fight for the greatest benefit of my Confucianism after the defeat of Taisun!"

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoru suddenly looked excited.

clenched his fists, waved his big hand, and said: "In the Song Dynasty in the past, this world was not only the world of the royal family, but also the world of our Confucian scholars!" ”

"The royal family is the same as the scholars!"

"How brilliant? The Cheng Zhu science we believe in is a science that can limit the power of the monarch! ”

"Even if the emperor wants to make any decision, he has to ask my Confucian opinion! See if it's in line with the heavenly principles! ”

"But now?"

Fang Xiaoru's eyes were full of loss, and he said unwillingly: "Our Confucian students have not only lost their previous glory. ”

"I have lost many privileges, and after the land reform, I don't even have the right to pay taxes! His Majesty abolished the position of prime minister, and the grandson set up a consultation office to share power, and the voice of the scholars became weaker and weaker! ”

"The authority of the royal family is getting stronger and stronger!"

"But we can't resist!"

In the past, scholars not only had many privileges, but also had a very heavy voice in the court.

The imperial court must pay attention to every scholar.

But what about now? Lao Zhu first tried his best to remove the prime minister and then abolish it, so that Wenchen would have one less head of civil officials and one less Wenchen who was as powerful as the emperor.

And Zhu Yunxi is even more ruthless.

The establishment of the Advisory Office seems to have gained power, but in fact it has apportioned power.

Every consulting minister has become a tool person who specializes in doing coolies and sharing government affairs for Zhu Yunxi!

There is no real autonomy at all!

As a result, the voice of their civil officials has become weaker and weaker, and the privileges of scholars have become less and less.

Such a situation made the doctors extremely anxious, but there was no chance to reverse it.

But now, the grandson Zhu Yunxi has given them a chance!

Since its emergence, Confucianism has been the official orthodoxy for thousands of years, since the Han Dynasty.

Now Zhu Yunxi dared to challenge the authority of Confucianism.

Even if he is a grandson, he must definitely teach him a lesson! Even...... Therefore, it is not impossible to abolish his position as the grandson!

You must know that the reason why the Yuan Dynasty only existed for a very short time.

One of the reasons is that although the Yuan Dynasty respected Confucianism and promoted Cheng Zhu Lixue, the Yuan Dynasty refused to integrate with the culture of the Central Plains.

Cheng Zhu's great Confucianism tended to wander outside the regime.

In this way, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was superficial, and there was no real support from the scholars.

And now Zhu Yunxi has not only made the same mistake as the Yuan Dynasty, but has even gone further, challenging the status of Confucianism as the official orthodoxy in China for countless years.

It's not looking for your own death, what is it?!

"So!" Fang Xiaoru said loudly: "We Confucian scholars must return to power!" When the Song Dynasty was restored, the king and the scholars ruled the world together! ”

"Really do it, reason is higher than the potential!"

The so-called reason is higher than the potential, which means that the Taoist system is greater than politics, that is, the existence of heavenly principles is greater than the imperial court! Bigger than the government! Greater than the Emperor!

Even the emperor must obey the way of heaven! Conform to the principles of heaven!

Otherwise, the great Confucians of Cheng Zhu Lixue will be qualified to tear you off the position of emperor.

Someone else goes up!

Thus suppressing the power of the monarchy!

It's just that Fang Xiaoru didn't dare to say this paragraph explicitly.

But in the bottom of his heart, Fang Xiaoru completely scoffed at Zhu Yunxi's words, and he could even be said to be very unhappy!

It's just a matter of arithmetic!

What can you compare with Cheng Zhu Lixue?!

…………

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Yunxi knew how serious the consequences would be of his words, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a strong reaction.

It's only half a day.

The exhortations were already sent one after another.

It's almost a pile.

And this is just the beginning, if it takes a while, I am afraid that Zhu Yunxi will have to spend two or three days just looking through these recitals.

"Pick them all aside."

Zhu Yunxi commanded.

Soon, some palace people sorted out all these useless recitals, leaving only meaningful recitals.

It is convenient for Zhu Yunxi to handle government affairs.

is more calm than patience, more calm than anyone, Zhu Yunxi will never lose to anyone!

Anyway, the signal has already been released.

The atmosphere in the world will naturally change, and Zhu Yunxi has no reason to be anxious.

Let the wind blow for a while!

Picking up the fold, Zhu Yunxi began to look at it, some time ago, the autumn harvest had been completed everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

This year has been quite smooth, with a smooth harvest of sufficient grain in most areas and no crop failures.

However, there are still some areas where the grain harvest fails due to drought or flooding.

There are even extreme areas where there is no harvest because of the drought! The people of this area don't even have rice to cook!

Zhu Yunxi looked at the twists and turns coming from these places.

I feel very uncomfortable.

In these days, the peasants are completely watching the sky to eat, as long as God does not give face, then the peasant households will not have a good life.

It can even be said that the entire Ming Dynasty has not had a good life.

Once there is a major disaster, we can only rely on the old food of the past to survive.

Although the stale grain is unpalatable, when Zhu Yunxi was in his previous life, no one was willing to eat the stale grain at all.

But in Daming, when the people have no food, it is good to have a mouthful of old grain to eat.

Not to mention, if there is no harvest for several years in a row, you won't even be able to eat a mouthful of old grain!

And such a situation is not impossible, but ...... The possibility of appearing is huge! Because the entire Ming Dynasty was in the Xiaoice period, the climate was capricious and extremely extreme!

Major droughts, ice disasters, and floods are all possible!

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 recorded natural disasters alone!

Therefore, we must have ideas to ensure a stable grain harvest.

Not to mention the effect on the people, just considering that a stable grain harvest will help liberate more labor, Zhu Yunxi must solve it.

And if you want to ensure the harvest of grain in drought and flood, the most useful way is to build reservoirs!

In times of drought, the floodgates can be opened to release water, and when there is too much rain, precipitation can be stored so that the flood does not overflow.

And the reservoir in addition to these roles.

In addition, there is also a height difference, and the height difference is used when discharging water to obtain the advantage of sufficient water power.

Although the use of water power in the Ming Dynasty is still superficial.

But water power is also the most powerful power that Daming can use now! Many of the new factories opened by Daming are inseparable from the support of water power!

But building a reservoir is not so easy.

Not to mention the difficulty of building a large reservoir, the water canals supporting the reservoir alone are already quite difficult.

After all, without a canal, even if the gate is opened to waterproof, who can it be put to?

How can farmers use the water from the reservoir?

If the water in the reservoir cannot be put into the farmland during the drought, what is the difference between the reservoir being repaired and not being repaired?

And is the reservoir really that easy to repair?

The manpower and material resources required...... It's an astronomical amount, and it's never lower than the road construction!

"But no matter what, you still have to fix it......"

The importance of the reservoir basically does not need to be explained for Daming, because one of the reasons for Daming's demise is the natural disaster caused by the Xiaoice River period.

And if you want to deal with natural disasters, you need reservoirs!

Only by building a reservoir can we ensure that the grain harvest of Daming becomes stable, rather than directly losing the grain in the event of drought or waterlogging.

The people's income is not guaranteed, so it is no wonder that such a country is not in turmoil!

Zhu Yunxi calculated the money and manpower needed to build the reservoir, and couldn't help but sigh that he still had a long way to go on the road of changing the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Daming can hardly squeeze out more manpower!

Labor is needed in the fields, labor is needed for newly opened factories, labor is needed for the expansion of Beijing Division, the construction of the magic capital is needed, and labor is needed for the construction of national highways!

Daming's human resources have been urgent!
