Although Zhang Cangshui has a high official position and is the personally appointed Shaobao of the Supervisory State, these three are truly great Confucians!
Shilin leader!
Confucian leader!
His knowledge, prestige, and conduct are all admirable!
Zhang Huangyan didn't dare to put on airs in front of them!
The group of people left the port together and headed straight for the editorial office of the New Confucian School in Zhenyuan City.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, Wang Euzhi, who had a good nose, smelled the strong fragrance of ink.
And the faint sound of quarreling can be heard!
Zhang Huangyan stopped and spoke in a very sincere tone.
"The compilation work of the New Confucian school has entered an important juncture. Its success or failure will be related to the future of our Ming Dynasty and the rise and fall of our China!"
"I hope the three gentlemen can give me some advice!"
"The student is willing to give up his position as the editor-in-chief of the New Confucian School and serve as the deputy of the three gentlemen to do a good job in overall planning for the three gentlemen!"
When Zhang Huangyan said this, his attitude was quite sincere.
He felt from the bottom of his heart that if these three people participated in the compilation of the New Confucian school, the quality of the New Confucian school would definitely be better.
He has lived up to Zhu Hongyu’s trust!
Gu Yanwu waved his hand and refused.
"His Royal Highness the Supervisor personally appointed Zhang Shaobao as the editor-in-chief of the New Confucian School. In fact, Shaobao can resign with just his words?"
"I'm waiting for a few old men and women who are old and frail. They can do academically well, but if they want to do the job of editor-in-chief, I'm afraid they won't be qualified."
Wang Fuzhi and Huang Zongxi also nodded in agreement.
After Zhang Huangyan heard this, he no longer refused, but led people to the editorial office.
He made the three great scholars sit down and ordered people to serve them tea.
Zhang Huangyan spoke again.
"Now, in accordance with the instructions of His Highness Jianguo, we have compiled a general framework of the relevant content of the New Confucian school."
"I hope the three gentlemen can give me some advice and correct me!"
The three of them nodded slightly in agreement.
Zhang Huangyan strode out with a happy face, and not long after, he walked in with a thick tome in his arms.
The tome is very thick, with the two characters "New Confucianism" written on the cover.
The reason why it is so thick is because when the New Confucian school compiled the textbook, it stitched together the nine Confucian books, the Four Books and the Five Classics, by taking the essence and removing the dross.
Then, according to Zhu Hongyu's intention, the four books and five classics were marked with sentence readings, and the vernacular translation and corresponding story background interpretation were marked under them.
A very detailed tome!
In later generations, this is a typical teaching aid product.
As long as someone can read and buy such a copy of "New Confucianism", there will probably be no teachers in the world who can enlighten children!
Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, and Huang Zongxi were all a little surprised when they saw this unprecedented regulation in the "New Confucianism" textbook.
Wang Fuzhi said while tying his beard.
"This "New Confucianism" is good for enlightening children!"
Obviously, Wang Fuzhi grasped the first key point of this "New Confucianism" textbook.
Enlightenment is convenient!
Gu Yanwu was flipping through the textbook when he noticed Zhu Hongyu's sentence "Science and technology are the primary productive forces".
Frowning subconsciously!
It can be seen that he is not very interested in strange skills and tricks!
Continuing to flip through the "New Confucianism" textbook at random, he found that it was filled with a lot of private information.
Gu Yanwu said with some dissatisfaction.
"What a nonsense! You compiled the "New Confucianism" textbook to clarify the origin of Confucianism in the world. Everything should be excerpted from the articles of saints in the Four Books and Five Classics. How can you add content at will just because of the likes and dislikes of the supervising country?"
"By doing this, are you worthy of the two sages Confucius and Mencius and worthy of the people of the world?"
“What is science and technology? It’s nothing more than miraculous techniques!”
"How can you be lifted so high?"
"To educate the people, we should use the knowledge of saints and moral articles. Otherwise, we can rectify people's hearts, eliminate morals, and rectify the source?!"
"What's the big deal if this goes on like this?!"
Zhang Huangyan opened his mouth to explain.
"Mr. Kunshan, this point was personally decided by His Highness Jian Guo!"
"His Royal Highness Jianguo said that the knowledge and moral articles of saints can educate the people, but they cannot educate the barbarians."
"Otherwise, there would be no Qing captives entering the country, shaving their hair and changing clothes, and our Chinese culture and clothing would be completely destroyed!"
"The only enlightenment that the barbarians can understand is the roar of artillery!"
"And the improvement and manufacture of artillery are inseparable from the uncanny skills you mentioned!"
"You can't really do something that uses loyalty as your armor and etiquette as your oar, right?"
"But facts have proven that loyalty and etiquette cannot stop the Qing Dynasty's cavalry and swords and guns!"
Gu Yanwu nodded slightly and stopped arguing.
Because everything Zhang Huangyan said was true, he had no way of refuting it.
Huang Zongxi looked through the textbook "New Confucianism" and saw the related thoughts that the people are more important than the monarch, but his face was full of agreement.
The "New Confucianism" textbook's interpretation and elaboration of the idea of valuing the people and despising the monarch is similar to his "Records of Visits to the Ming Yi".
Everyone began to express their opinions one after another. Zhang Huangyan took out a booklet and wrote down what everyone said one by one.
Be prepared to revise in response to their comments!
The current "New Confucianism" textbook is only a first draft.
Because Zhu Hongyu hasn't read it yet, and it's not even a first draft, it's naturally not that troublesome to make changes.
…
On the ocean outside Zhoushan, the sea is blue and endless, stretching as far as the eye can see.
There was only one sand boat with a weight of 500 tons, with full sail and moving at full speed.
There were even a few arrows nailed to the side of the ship.
There was a big hole in the stern of the ship, and it was obvious at first glance that it was caused by a cannonball.
"quick!"
"Speed up, Qingta is about to catch up!"
"Ahead is Zhoushan. My Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses are in Zhoushan. It will be safe to escape to Zhoushan!"
Captain Lao Yu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the endless ocean in front of him, and then at the Qing naval forces pursuing him more and more closely behind him.
His chubby face was covered with sweat, and he kept urging the sailors on the ship.
Lao Su is from Qiantang, Zhejiang Province. It is said that his family's ancestor is Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao.
But even Lao Yu himself is not sure whether it is true or not, because the Yu family has fallen into decline.
It was so ruined that even the family tree was lost!
Originally, Yu's family belonged to a typical scholarly family, with hundreds of acres of good paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River.
It doesn't mean that you are rich and powerful, but it is enough to train your children to study in the imperial examinations.
But in his grandfather's generation, he accidentally got into a lawsuit, and the Yu family's family situation declined!
But starting from Yu's father's generation, due to the emergence of capitalism in Jiangnan, the Yu family sold the land on hand and began to transform into business.
He set up a textile workshop, and his family had a share in the famous Songjiang cloth business.
After all these years, the Yu family has little financial resources.
But being a maritime businessman, it is inevitable to have some relationship with the Zheng family. In addition, the Yu family suffered from the villain's red eyes at the cloth village in Huzhou...
The villain stabbed the Yu family out!
Then, the Yu family became suspects in the Ming Dynasty case and the great spies who had secretly communicated with Ming thieves.
Of course, the most important reason here is also related to the fact that after the Huzhou Prison was robbed, Luo Duo went crazy and randomly arrested people to fill the holes in the prison.
Fortunately, the Yu family had reliable connections in the government, and they passed the news to Lao Yu before the Qing government issued the order to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.
Lao Yu had no choice but to abandon his family and career and take the whole family to the sea to escape.
But the Qing court responded very quickly, and the pursuit arrived in the blink of an eye!
The Yu family's boat was hit by a cannonball, hit by countless arrows, and even injured several servants and guards, and then they barely escaped.
But I never thought that not long after setting out to sea, I would be overtaken by the Qinglu River Navy again.
…
It's only the third update, and I really can't figure it out, so it's been a waste of a day.
