Chapter 478: On Confucianism

Wang Anshi and Wang Jiao glanced at each other, and immediately got up again and solemnly kicked, "If the tragedy of the Song Dynasty fell into the hands of the barbarians, my father and son would be willing to act like Shang Jun and Wu Qi."
Shen Long couldn't help shaking his head, "If it's just a few human lives, it's too simple to do such a big thing?" If that's the case, the Reform Movement of 1898 will not fail, and the same people in Tan Si will not die in vain. .
"Dare to ask the Chief, how can I wait?" Wang Anshi also has this consciousness. He knows that wanting to succeed in reforming and making the Song Dynasty rich and powerful is not a simple matter. Just saying that just shows his attitude. .
"Dare to ask Jiefu how to treat Confucianism?" Shen Long didn't answer directly, but asked Wang Anshi and his son a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the matter at first.
Wang Anshi froze for a moment, he thought about Shen Long's intentions, thinking that he might be studying his research on Confucianism, and then solemnly replied, "A child has studied the history of the scriptures since childhood, from hundreds of schools to "," Su Wen "," Materia Medica ", novels, all read; agricultural workers, female workers ask everything."
"Then the Yu Jing knows its generality without doubt, and the later times of the scholars and the first kings are better than the saints ... then they know each other independently, so that they can get something out of it. , But it ca n’t be chaotic, so there is someone who can get it, so the Mingwu Dao also ... The technique of the sage of the sage, repairing his body, governing the world, lies in the safety and governance of chaos, and is not looking for chapters and carvings. "Wang Anshi word clang, Wang Xu couldn't help but nod.
This passage first said that his research scope is very bright. Not only the classics of Confucianism, but also hundreds of schools of thought, even medical science, Buddhism, and novels have been carefully studied. After the study, it was concluded that Confucianism must be orthodox, and other academic denominations only It can exist as a verification of the orthodox status of Confucianism.
Buddha and Lao are only close to saints rather than true saints. There is only one correct way in the world, that is, the way of the Holy King continued from the three generations, Wenwu, Zhou Gong, and Confucius.
This paragraph is not too difficult. Shen Long has been in Song Dynasty for a long time, and can understand Wang Anshi, so he nodded and praised, "Jie Fu is a true Confucian student and true scholar."
Shen Long does not necessarily agree with all of Wang Anshi's ideas, but he still admires the belief that the world is his responsibility. "Since the millennium has fallen, there is indeed no more suitable doctrine for Confucianism than Central Plains."
Although Confucianism has many problems, it has to be admitted that this doctrine naturally meets the needs of farming civilization. However, the world will not stand still. Confucianism also has many problems that are difficult to overcome by itself, so the ultimate decline is also inevitable. In the era of Shen Long, Confucianism was regarded as a doctrine for research, or reading some classics to improve one ’s own recuperation. It would be a dream to revive Confucianism.
"I don't know if Jiefu had thought about it? Why have Confucianism been the foundation of all dynasties since the Han and Tang Dynasties, but why did it eventually decline?" Shen Long asked again.
"This is the cause of virtuous politics, traitors, the scourge of party imprisonment in Han, the chaos of feudal towns in Tang Dynasty, and the struggle between Niu and Li, so from prosperity to decline."
This answer could not satisfy Shen Long. He shook his head and said, "These are just furs. The root of the three-hundred-year cycle of chaos is land mergers." Just like the economic crisis is an incurable disease that capitalism cannot overcome, so is land mergers. Feudal society can never cure a terminal illness.
"Either Han Dynasty or Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty, in the final analysis, it can be said that the emperor ruled the world with the class holding the land. In the Han Dynasty, the Liu family and the powerful family ruled the world; in the Tang Dynasty, it was the Li and Guanlong military. The nobles, the aristocrats, and the scholars of Hanmen ruled the world together; in the Song Dynasty, as Wen Yanbo said, the Zhaos of Tianshui and the scholars ruled the world. "
"Officials, scholars, princes, princes, shepherds, and tenants, Jiefu, can you say that?" Shen Long asked.
"There is still some doubt about the theory of land merger, but it is true that Gongzhitianxia is true." Wang Anshi thought about it and asked, is there any problem? Isn't this true for all dynasties in the millennium and descending dynasties?
"These two issues are actually a problem. Throughout the dynasties, it was nobles, monks and readers who mastered the land." Nobles and readers needless to say, as for the monks, there are many lands under the name of Daxiangguo Temple, There are royal rewards, worshipped by believers, and some of them bought and merged by themselves.
"At the same time, they also helped Tianzi to shepherd all the people. According to Jiefu's ideas, these people should go to Ying Tianzi, Fu Limin, do psychological affairs in the DPRK, and be compassionate to the people in the place, so the world is naturally peaceful."
"It is true." Wang Anshi nodded his promise.
"But everyone has selfishness, no matter the landlord or the honorable, who doesn't want to own more land and pay less tax, and they also have the ability to acquire more land and push tax and labor to others. At the beginning of the dynasty, due to the war, the population was reduced, and a large area of ​​land was abandoned. As long as the emperor Sui Yang was not as tossed, ordinary people could survive, and the country was naturally peaceful. Not only can the people not survive, but the taxes of the imperial court are becoming more and more difficult to collect. "This is recognized by everyone in later generations.
"So I want to change the law ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Let the people suffer less." Wang Anshi interjected.
"I don't know if Jiefu has heard a sentence. Taking money is like killing a parent. Jiefu's new method won't be a person's money. How could they agree?" Shen Long sneered. "Isn't this because of tigers? Jiefu thanks Born in the Great Song Dynasty, if you arrive at Daming, I am afraid that you will retreat from your body.
Didn't Zhang Juzheng get copied after he died? What is so good about offending the entire ruling class?
"But if all sorts of malpractices are allowed to continue, and they won't fall after the aliens occupy the Central Plains, will they?" Wang Anshi asked rhetorically.
"In this respect, their experience is even better. No matter how they change the dynasty, they still have to rely on scholars to govern the world. It ’s just a matter of emperor worship. Even the Anglican family does this, not to mention the general scholars? There are even people who regard it as an opportunity. "It's just that the scholar of Song Dynasty didn't expect Meng Yuan to be so cruel.
"Hey, in the final analysis, Confucianists are good at dividing cakes, but they don't make cakes, and they often give themselves more points when they divide cakes. When they start to make more cakes, they haven't killed yet. Taiping will not be able to maintain. "Shen Long said with a sigh.
