Cai Yong was shocked when he saw Xu Wei agreeing with his words. He knew that it was almost impossible to get Lei Gong to give up suppressing the powerful gentry of the Han Dynasty, but if he could get Lei Gong to give up suppressing Confucianism, he would have achieved his goal.
"In power, I do not deny that after Confucianism became the ruling culture of the Han Dynasty, there were indeed many scum in it, and everyone was corrupted by power. However, Confucianism can defeat hundreds of schools of thought and was highly praised by the emperors of the Han Dynasty. There is a reason for this , at least to stabilize people’s hearts, our Confucianism is the best.”
"Now it is no longer the time to conquer the world, but to govern the world. Although I dare not say that scholars are the most suitable for governing the world, I have thought that we should be more suitable for governing the world than the military officers and Litian in the hands of the rulers! I I don’t understand why, given the wisdom in governing, we would do such a thankless thing!”
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Xu Wei thought of a famous saying during the artillery period, "Success will lead to death." This statement really deceived a group of people, and they really retired like this. But back then, Xu Wei When Wei saw this, he didn't think it made sense.
After reading what Crimson Moon wrote, I suddenly realized that this was not an excuse for those feudal remnants who wanted to seize power. When the power was really in their hands, they defeated Cannon's subordinates and formed an alliance with Yuan Datou.
Cai Yong naturally did not want to rebel, but they really wanted to seize power in their hearts, and they naturally believed that this was their right. They could conquer the world on the fly, but they could not rule the world on the fly.
Xu Wei nodded and admitted after listening to Cai Yong's words: "Sir, you are right. Although our Great Qian Dynasty seems to be developing vigorously, there are also many internal problems. It is very common for officials to have inexperience. They often do bad things with good intentions. For example, when a canal was built, the canal was too high and the water could not flow. Or the people under the rule were forced to grow some cash crops. As a result, the yield was too large, but it was not as profitable as growing grain. Every year, Daqian asked a large number of officials to come. Jidu learns how to deal with government affairs."
"There are still some officials who are lazy and muddle along, and there are even a lot of corrupt officials. In recent years, the Supervisory Censorship Department we have been working on has caught more than 1,000 corrupt officials every year. Even now, I am still concerned about the issue of official corruption. It’s an extremely painful headache that may not be resolved for the rest of your life!”
Cai Yong heard that Xu Wei, the jungler, belittled the officials of Daqian. He was embarrassed for such an honest man. His feelings during the time he stayed in Daqian were that the officials of Daqian were more than 10 times stronger than Dahan. If Daqian were If all the officials who do this are not good, the officials of the Han Dynasty will go to Jiuquan!
Moreover, they did not expect that Xu Wei would be merciless in dealing with his subordinates. He dealt with thousands of officials every year, even if these officials were middle and low-level officials, it was a very remarkable thing.
They knew that the imperial court at that time had reached a state where no officials were corrupt, and even Emperor Ling himself took the lead in corruption. Under such circumstances, it would be a joke to deal with corrupt officials. On this point alone, the big man could not compare with Da Gan.
He couldn't help but said: "The requirements for governing are too high. In my opinion, Daqian and even county magistrates have the talent to become two thousand stone prefects. Most of them are still willing to do practical things. This is much better than Dahan." Got it!"
But he did not expect that Xu Wei said: "But no matter how inexperienced they are, we Dagan must insist on letting these ordinary people who belong to Dagan become officials. If they have no experience, let them do more things to accumulate experience. If they cannot handle government affairs, they will Let them learn how to handle government affairs, and if they become corrupt officials, we will punish them, but they still have to learn to govern the world!"
"And the reason why I don't use the sons of noble families and Confucianism to govern the world is determined by many factors. Just like the Han Dynasty wants to select officials from the noble families, because the Han Dynasty relies on the noble families to rule the world. And now. Daqian relies on the people to rule the world, so it is natural to select officials from among the people, so that the people know that the Daqian court and they are their own, and they will support our court!"
Cai Yong was unconvinced and said: "But now we can be regarded as the common people of Daqian. Why should the government exclude us!"
Xu Wei said: "To put it bluntly, Dahan has been owned by the nobles. Even if Dagan gives the nobles the same treatment as Dahan, you will not have a sense of belonging to our Dagan. They will only think that all this is nothing." It's a matter of course, not to mention that we can't give you what you want. Such a gap will make you disagree with us in your heart. From the court, this is extremely dangerous, because you will Find a way to destroy Daqian."
"But the people of Daqian are different. They had nothing, but the court of Daqian gave them a new life. They are grateful to the court of Daqian. After they become officials of Daqian, they will be loyal to the court. To use a simple sentence To put it bluntly, they are my base of Daqian, why should I let you go and allow you to enter the Daqian court!"
"And your current state can also serve as a warning to future generations. To put it bluntly, the worse your fate will be, the rulers of later generations of Daqian will understand that they are connected to the Daqian court. When the Daqian court fell, they were connected. Their families will also decline, so they will no longer dare to bully the people and annex the land as unscrupulously as you do."
"Just like the Yuan Shao brothers, their family is already the top family in the Han Dynasty. Logically speaking, the Yuan family should try their best to defend the Han Dynasty, but the reality is that the Yuan Shao brothers dare to lead the army to attack the Han Dynasty Palace in order to fight for power. Don't they know that they This behavior caused the Han court to lose all prestige and even led to chaos in the world. Of course they knew it, but they didn't care. They even thought that the court suppressed the display of their talents and that the court would perish so that they could establish their own court!"
"And why don't your other families stop the Yuan Shao brothers from causing chaos? Isn't it because the Han Dynasty used the party's method to imprison your families from growing and growing, so you also hope that the prestige of the imperial court will be wiped out, so that you can act unscrupulously in the local area. Powerful and blessed!"
"The Han court has given you enough preferential treatment, but your reward is like this. Why is this happening? It is because you think that the world of the Han Dynasty belongs to the Liu family and has nothing to do with you. The interests of his family do not depend on whether the world will be good or not. He became turbulent and even wanted to take advantage of this turmoil to make his family go further."
"You just didn't expect that a Dong Zhuo would suddenly be killed, let alone that the Han Dynasty would really perish, and it would be in the hands of me, Da Gan! To put it bluntly, you nobles and nobles will be responsible for the demise of the Han Dynasty. responsible!"
And now that I have knocked down all the noble families of the Han Dynasty and turned them into ordinary people, they are even worse than ordinary people. If people like Yuan Shao brothers appear again in Daqian, their families will stop them from messing around!
Xu Wei's words were like a stab in their hearts. Zhao Qi and Cai Yong's faces were very ugly.
Then Xu Wei continued: "The reason why I don't use Confucianism to govern the world is that Confucianism is about to be eliminated. Your Confucianism is a knowledge based on a farming society. All morals and laws are based on farming."
"But now Daqian is about to enter the industrial era. If you want the knowledge, morality and law of the industrial age, Confucianism cannot provide these. So now a new school of thought must rule Daqian. From now on, Mohism The school adapts to the requirements of the industrialization era!"
Xu Wei will not let them continue to appear. Confucianism certainly has its advanced nature. At least before the Tang Dynasty, the civilization of the Celestial Dynasty has always been at the forefront of the world. But Xu Wei knows better that Confucian civilization is suitable for the agricultural era. In the industrialization era, discrimination Confucianism, where craftsmen despised exotic and obscene techniques, came to an end. In Xu Wei's era, only two schools of thought prospered and expanded in the world, namely the Mohist school and the Zhu Yang school.
Of course, Xu Wei does not deny that Confucianism may adapt to the industrialization era after reform, but Xu Wei already knows the correct answer, why should he choose an answer that may be wrong! Even if he chooses Zhu Yang School, it is better than Confucianism, let alone Xu Wei was also from the Moh family.
Cai Yong said unwillingly: "Why do you think that the Mohists are in the industrialization era? Is it because you are from the Mohist family?"
Xu Weidao: "Because the industrialization era needs workers and machines to build a new world, it is difficult for Confucianism, which looks down on craftsmen and regards machines as fancy skills, to adapt to the industrialization era! Daqian is a brand new world, and both the clan and Confucianism You are a product of the old era. Not only are you needed by Daqian, but you are also poison to Daqian and need to be cleaned out."
Xu Wei's words were equivalent to killing someone. When he finished saying these words, whether it was Zhao Qi, Cai Yong, Xu Shao or other great scholars in the Han Dynasty, all their faces turned pale. They thought it was a trick they had made. There was a door, but they didn't expect that Lei Gong had closed the door tightly. The most they could do was stand at the gate!
When Xu Wei left here, the Department of Literature and History was quiet!
Xiang Kai, who was following Xu Wei, complained: "In power, you went to the Ministry of Culture and History to encourage them, but now that you have said so many words to attack them, I'm afraid not many of them are willing to stay here!"
He felt a little sorry for those old friends. He originally wanted to find a way out for them, but now it was better. They were hit by Xu Wei's words and fell into a bottomless abyss.
Only then did Xu Wei remember what he was here to do, and he felt embarrassed for a moment and said: "I said it all at once, but it hit them! But it's better to say it, than they have unrealistic expectations." expect."
Xiangkai was also shocked by Xu Wei's words. He was from the Taoist school, and his own strength could not compare with Confucianism. He originally thought that Xu Wei would abandon Confucianism and use Taoism. After all, now there are hundreds of schools of thought, and only Confucianism and Taoism are left.
However, he did not expect that Xu Wei would revive the Mohist family.
The writing is so exciting, and this chapter is too sensitive, so it should be less.
