Chapter 1727: Cornerstone
Fang Mo unexpectedly said Ye Chunqiu, but he was also a smart person and understood it in one go.
Ye Chunqiu's son is the prince of Duke Zhenguo and the heir of the future Zhenguo Mansion. Ye Chunqiu asked him to teach him, and this is the prince's teacher.
Don’t underestimate the name of this teacher, because the prince’s education is closely related to the entire Zhenguo Mansion. Only the Duke of Zhenguo wants his son to become and what kind of knowledge he needs will hire a teacher.
This means that Fang Mo's theory has been recognized by Ye Chunqiu. This is a clear signal, which is to tell everyone in Zhenyuan Country which school of theory Ye Chunqiu supports.
I believe that in a short time, the people below will consider their preferences and start to implement Fang Mo's theory, and many schools will also begin to teach his articles and arguments.
Even... this is also a vague way to tell all scholars that if you want to be in Qinglong, you must do well. Then... you'd better read Mr. Fang's masterpieces well, because in the future, Zhenguo Mansion may need such talents. Only by understanding the other party's silent knowledge thoroughly can you understand who Zhenguo Mansion needs, be valued in this Zhenguo Mansion, and your future will be bright.
Fang Mo said in his heart that he was not excited was false, but he still maintained his graceful attitude, stood up and bowed and said, "Students obey the orders and say goodbye."
Ye Chunqiu was sitting, trying to wave his hand to let him go, but he thought of something, so he quickly stood up and returned the greeting to him with a smile.
It was not until Fang Mo left that Ye Chunqiu let out a sigh.
In fact, there were many masterpieces of Fang Mo on Ye Chunqiu's desk. He started to read it out. To some extent, the popularity of the doctrine was actually a political issue. What is Confucianism's doctrine? It was nothing more than to adapt to the needs of rulers. The Han Dynasty needed to expand its territory, so Han Confucians had to be both civil and military, and most of them had to be a group of hot-tempered guys who would kill their whole family at any time, so they would make a few words like "Is it the king's land in the world?"
Well, now Mr. Fang wants to return to the essence and return to the authenticity of Confucianism, and completely denying Neo-Confucianism seems... nothing wrong.
Ye Chunqiu flipped out an article casually. This was written by Mr. Fang about merchants. He praised merchants very much, saying that they were all about merchants' communication, benefiting the country and the people.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile a knowing smile on his lips. Fang Mo was actually quite politically savvy.
Not long after, someone came to report: "Mr. Master, the young scholar is looking for a meeting."
The young scholar was Tang Bohu. Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "Please come in." After thinking about it, he seemed to remember something, so he stood up and gave the clerk who informed him a greeting.
The clerk couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and seemed a little helpless.
Uh, why did you suddenly come like this? Could it be... the man took the wrong medicine?
Ye Chunqiu smiled casually and said, "This is etiquette and law, the king, the king, the minister, the minister."
"..." The clerk seemed a little confused, and finally said he was helpless and left.
Not long after, Tang Bohu hurried in and saluted Ye Chunqiu first, and Ye Chunqiu returned the salutation as usual.
Tang Bohu didn't notice this detail, but said a little anxiously: "Honest Master, have you seen that Fang Mo?"
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be curious about Tang Bohu's reaction and said, "Well, I saw you just now, why, what's wrong with Brother Bohu?"
Tang Bohu said: "This article of Fang Mo is simply nonsense. He is talking about the saints. The prince will not be fooled by him." He pointed to his forehead and said: "There is something wrong with this person's brain."
After hearing this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help laughing. Finally, he finally tried his best to hold it back and said, "I think what he said makes some sense."
"Is this a reasonable thing?" Tang Bohu widened his eyes and said excitedly: "He is a lord and fatherless man. I have long wanted to kick him out of the Chongwen Pavilion. If someone hadn't pleaded for him, I would have felt angry after reading his article. I would have felt so angry."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but laugh and cry, so he said, "Sit down and talk first."
Tang Bohu had anger on his face, but he still sat down obediently.
Ye Chunqiu Shen glanced at him and said, "You young scholar, you are also the prime minister of Zhenguo Mansion. Think about it yourself, now the pass is criticizing us, isn't it just that we have no king or father?"
Tang Bohu didn't say much about deep thought, and said, "Since that's the case, then we should..."
"No." Ye Chunqiu interrupted directly.
He knew Tang Bohu, so he naturally knew what Tang Bohu wanted to say.
Others scold themselves for not doing well, so they should do better. This is Tang Bohu’s idea!
Ye Chunqiu shook his head and continued, "It is not important whether Neo-Confucianism is correct, but I know Neo-Confucianism ordered women not to leave their homes, but I ask you, if women don't leave their homes, who will weave them? Neo-Confucianism requires the king, the ministers and ministers to obey unconditionally, but if they obey unconditionally, then I ask you, if everyone must obey me unconditionally, then the merchants dare to do business with Zhenguo Mansion, and anyone dares to invest in railways and deposit silver into money houses to exchange for silver notes? It is impossible, even if they believe in me and my credit, once I can do whatever I want, it is their king-father-like existence, they will have to worry, because no one knows when my thoughts and actions may be like the last emperors of the Ming Dynasty, who will crazily distribute treasure notes, and finally print the treasure notes directly, and turn them into waste paper that no one dares to exchange."
"Credit, credit is the foundation of the maintenance of the State Government. Only by limiting what the king should do and what the minister should do, everyone abides by their own duties, and no one can cross a certain boundary. This is the foundation of trust. Therefore, the king, minister, minister, father, son, and son are no longer able to work outside the pass. What we need to do here is to set rules and set rules so that everyone can better fulfill their duties and perform their duties."
