This matter is also simple. As long as these real upper-class figures in Fujian unite and change their opinions, the specific things will naturally be done by noble "scholars".
This is just like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked for strategies to govern the country. Dong Zhongshu jumped out and said, "Brother Wu, tell me, whatever you want, brother, I will do it for you!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly told Dong Zhongshu, "My master and my father, they have practiced the 'Huang-Lao theory' and 'gou' for so long. They are no longer as poor as they were in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now the family is very rich. I am so rich."
Money, now they want to completely collect local power and centralize power, you know."
"In addition, back then, the 'Huns' bullied my grandfather and my father. Now, I want to kill them all the way to Ya's hometown and destroy these bastards. But that, 'Huang Lao' thing,
It’s not very suitable, so, Xiaodong, it’s up to you.”
Dong Zhongshu slapped his chest and said, "Nothing wrong, just look at me!"
Looking back, Dong Zhongshu looked for suitable theories from the legalists, military strategists, political strategists, etc., such as "influence between heaven and man", "great unification", "divine right of kings", "the king is the guide for the ministers, and the father is the guide for the son"
, "The husband is the guide for his wife", and with such a combination of "kakaka", a suitable set of ideas for governing the country is formed.
In the end, Uni-President stuffed these things into ‘Confucianism’!
As for why it is called "Confucianism", firstly, this is the "need", and secondly, no matter it is the "Legalist", "Military" or "Politicalist", various doctrines have their own "leaders" written treasures.
For example, Legalists, Han Fei wrote "Han Feizi", Shang Yang wrote "Shang Jun Shu", such as military strategists, Sun Wu wrote "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Sun Bin wrote "Sun Bin's Art of War", Jiang Ziya wrote "Six Tao", etc.
Only Confucianism has room for maneuver.
Confucius once led some of his disciples to travel around the world for fourteen years. In his later years, he revised the Six Classics, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn".
It is said that he had three thousand disciples, including seventy-two sages. After Confucius died, his disciples and his disciples recorded the words, deeds, sayings and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into the Confucian classic "The Analects of Confucius".
In other words, in this 'Confucianism', the sage Confucius did not have any writings except for revising the Six Classics.
Apart from acting as Prime Minister... there is nothing more.
(In the fourteenth year of Dinggong and the fifty-sixth year of Confucius, the great minister Kou Xing was in charge of everything, and he was very happy.)
Before Dong Zhongshu, the so-called "Confucianism" was basically "hidden learning", which was the knowledge of the hidden world, and "burning books and trapping Confucians" was also known as "burning poems and books, trapping magicians (in one word, Shushi, that is, Confucian scholars)", in the Western Han Dynasty
Later it was called "burning books and entrapping Confucians".
That is to say, the rise of "Confucianism" was entirely due to the needs of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Then Dong Zhongshu concluded that in order to make this knowledge appear more advanced, he went on to trace the above two hundred chapters. At the last look, hey, there are all kinds of other things.
'Zi' all had his own works, but 'Confucius' did not. This is very appropriate...
Of course, another reason is that "Spring and Autumn", which is the history of the Lu State revised by Confucius, has the term "Spring and Autumn Brushwork", which is very consistent with the ruler's intention. To put it bluntly, it is - flattery and fraud.
In other words, this is the fundamental principle of Confucianism...
Spring and Autumn style of writing refers to paying attention to praise and criticism in the selection of promotional materials.
The methods used by Confucius in editing the Spring and Autumn Annals were "brushing" and "cutting".
"Bi" means adding to the records of the original "Spring and Autumn", and "cutting" means deleting the records of the original "Spring and Autumn".
The Gongyang family said: Confucius wrote the "Spring and Autumn Annals", "The pen is the pen, the cutting is the cutting. The disciples of Zixia cannot give a single word of praise."
("Historical Records: The Family of Confucius") There are three ways of writing. First, "It is taboo for the venerable, it is taboo for the relatives, and it is taboo for the wise." ("Zhuangzi·World") This means that when compiling the book, it involves
Venerable Sir, Yin Ye. Among the more than 800 events recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Annals", in addition to 102 records of solar eclipses, earthquakes, natural disasters, wind and frost, etc., the remaining 700 or so events all record the emperor of Zhou and the princes.
, a major event for Dr. Qing.
At that time, slave resistance struggles occurred one after another, and "bandits abounded" and "thieves ran rampant" everywhere. These major events that directly endangered the rule of slave owners were not recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Annals".
Well, to put it more bluntly, superiors are all perfect saints, and it is impossible to have shortcomings. As long as the reasons are well found, shortcomings can also be exaggerated into advantages. If you really can't find the advantages... then make it up.
, anyway, death cannot have shortcomings.
(Okay, the above are all nonsense by the author. In fact, the most prominent learning in the world is Confucianism and Mohism. Where Confucianism goes, Confucius goes there. Where Mohism goes, Mo Zhai goes. Since the death of Confucius,
There are Confucians like Zi Zhang, there are Confucians like Zi Si, there are Confucians like the Yan family, there are Confucians like the Meng family, there are Confucians like the Qidiao family, there are Confucians like the Zhongliang family, there are Confucians like the Sun family, and there are Confucians like the Yue Zheng family. Since Mozi
His death has the ink of the Xiang Li family, the ink of the Xiang Fu family, and the ink of the Deng Ling family.)
(However, it is true that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no dynasty or ruler relied on "Confucianism" to make the country rich and the people strong. On the contrary, there were many people who made the country strong through business, military, and law.)
…
Now, the de facto ruler of Fujian is Wang Xuan, and these families here are Wang Xuan's supporters. Therefore, the arguments set by these people will naturally be summarized by scholars later, and with the upper-class forces in Fujian adding fuel to the fire, it is conceivable that
, in the future, there will be a wave of "New Confucianism" in Fujian.
Wang Xuan is very good at using the flag as a tiger skin. Anyway, this is not the first time that "Confucianism" has been used as a shield. If you can use it, I, Wang Xuan, will naturally use it too.
"Okay, this matter is settled like this. Let's convey all the ideas later. Let's talk about the next thing. Don't think that these things have nothing to do with the development of Xiaoliuqiu. As the saying goes, in order to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down at home.
Fujian is our current foundation. If we don’t build Fujian well, how can we expand and develop?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I will understand later, Mr. Wuzhou, please tell me."
A group of people below also expressed their understanding and approval. In fact, many things are like this. It’s not that they don’t know how good it is, but that there is no leader. Many things, no matter how good they are, cannot be done. This is called a snake without a head.
"Let's talk about the issue of money. Everyone knows that our Ming Dynasty is short of 'money'. Whether it is 'copper' or 'silver', the output of our Ming Dynasty is underground, and the money circulating among the people is not enough. That's why
The fineness of silver can always cause some messy problems, and there are too many loopholes to exploit in terms of heat consumption alone, which also leads to many inevitable errors in the process of doing business."
Everyone here is very aware of this. Firstly, there are many copper coins that are afraid of being damaged. Secondly, it is difficult to count the weight of broken silver. Thirdly, the quality is insufficient, which ultimately leads to losses. Anyway, there are too many troubles, but this problem has not been solved for thousands of years.
.
After hearing what Wang Xuan said, everyone became interested. In the past, everyone had seen many of Wang Xuan's miracles. If this matter could be solved, they would be happy from the bottom of their hearts.
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he took out a bag and poured out a pile of 'coins', to be precise, 'coins'!
Minting coins, especially pressing modern coins, is actually quite troublesome. First, you need to adjust the proportion of silver, mix in other metals, determine the weight, and finally make molds and press machines. The process is actually quite complicated.
This is also a technology that has only matured completely some time ago, and we are taking this opportunity to promote it.
Essentially, they are gold coins and silver coins. There is only one kind of gold coin, one or two weights, with a gold content of 95%. There are three types of silver coins, one or two weights, five coins, two coins, with a silver content of 90%. The others are iron, zinc and lead.
These coins have bright luster, are not easy to corrode, have high hardness, and have extremely complex and delicate patterns. They are completely one-time pressed products and are almost difficult to imitate without a complete set of equipment.
For example, on a gold coin, the outer ring on the back is made of rice, with the production date below and a finely carved thumbnail of the new city in the middle. There is also Wang Xuan's head on the front. Even the texture of the clothes is clearly visible. It is impossible to imitate the carving manually.
Wang Xuan took the coins and walked towards the crowd, distributing one of each kind to each person, which made everyone who saw this kind of coins for the first time marvel.
This kind of engraving technique is simply sensational, so delicate, it is fascinating to look at. Moreover, when comparing two identical coins, they are absolutely identical, and there is no difference at all.
Moreover, the purity is extremely high!
Compared with the copper coins circulating in the Ming Dynasty now, it is simply the difference between treasures and garbage. Those copper coins are simply too rough.
"This gold and silver coin is absolutely perfect. This is exactly how it was minted."
"Perfect, impossible to copy."
"The workmanship is so exquisite that I don't want to spend any money on it."
Seeing a group of aristocratic family heads exclaiming in admiration like old haters, Wang Xuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Seeing that these guys were playing with it endlessly, Wang Xuan finally couldn't help coughing and the two of them woke up everyone, "Okay, let me tell you the value ratio. A gold coin is a standard one, two, two, five, and a silver coin is one or two.
Five coins, two coins, the exchange ratio is, one gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins of one or two weights."
"My Ming units of measurement are too confusing and not very accurate, so I have also re-adjusted them. I will give you new measurement tools later, which are extremely accurate. One pound is divided into ten taels, and every two cents is fifty grams.
, everyone will change to new measurement tools in the future, so that the data statistics will be more accurate, and the people below will be saved from tampering with it."
"I know that confusion in units of measurement is good for you when dealing with government tax collection, but at the same time, people below will also manipulate it. To be honest, who may suffer the loss, so everything must be changed in the future, just
Let’s start with me in Fujian. As time goes by, everyone will understand the benefits.”
Wang Xuan's order did not arouse any opposition. The lack of unity before was largely due to the lack of strong figures to promote it.
After all, the last person who could unify weights and measures was Qin Shihuang. Now, even the emperor does not have the ability to reunify. After all, there are too many interests involved, from the 'big and small buckets' when collecting grain to selling grain.
The size of the bucket is small, and the slight difference is a big profit.
Those lying on the unclear line sucking blood range from aristocratic families, to petty tax collectors, to peddlers and pawns. Without the intervention of absolutely powerful people, it is absolutely impossible to unify and accurately measure.
