Wang Dan was twirling his beard there. Others didn't know what he was doing, but Kou Zhun and the others knew clearly that there was something about it that stumped him.

"Prime Minister, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about the Wang family?"

Kou Zhun looked at Wang Dan and asked.

"No, the Wang family is divided into dozens of branches. This matter was settled after Taiyuan City was burned. If the main world hadn't interfered, we would have lost our clan and had our surname. This is now

The people surnamed Wang did very well, but what I am thinking is that Confucianism has already been established, so why did so many strange practices appear in the Ming Dynasty? Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, none of these famous officials were Confucian scholars who had studied the Eight Classics.

There is a feeling that the famous officials of the Han Dynasty were just a strange era. If the Ming Dynasty had not been overthrown, they would have been able to play the game of resurrection. Talents are all talents."

Wang Dan looked at the information about the famous officials in the late Ming Dynasty and couldn't help but feel a little confused. They all said that the Wang family had strange behaviors. Now it seems that the Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty also had a lot of strange behaviors.

"Emperor Chongzhen, I wonder if you, the Ming royal family, have collected information about the Yangming School of Mind in your dynasty and later the Taizhou School and the Zhejiang School. If so, I, the Wang family, will ask for a copy. As a price, I will give you millions of grain.

Tons, oh, one ton of grain was worth about ten dan in our Song Dynasty, and one million tons of grain was worth tens of millions of dan. Is it possible to do this business?"

Wang Dan raised his hands to Zhu Youjian and said.

Although the status of Confucianism has been reduced, the status of these academic materials has not been reduced much. Besides, there are not many Confucian materials of Yangming School, Taizhou School, and Zhejiang School in later generations. They were used by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties as many as a thousand times.

The literary inquisition has been almost destroyed, causing the Taizhou School to disappear directly from its prominent position, leaving many people in later generations to conduct research only through fragments of words. This is a pity. Wang Dan now wants to take this opportunity to collect

Collect first-hand information and enrich your own internal database.

"Do any of you still remember the names of the founders of Yangming Xinxue and Taizhou School?"

Kou Zhun spoke slowly and in a long tone, which made everyone recover from their thoughts about the strange behavior of the late Ming Dynasty. Everyone began to gasp.

The Wang family truly deserves to be a thousand-year-old family. The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. The Qixingzhong family is the Qixingzhong family. It has obviously split itself, but I didn't expect it to still be so weird.

Wang Yangming and Wang Gen are both members of the Wang family. One founded a sect in Confucianism, and the other directly started a new one. If the Manchus had not entered the customs and vigorously attacked the mind and promoted Neo-Confucianism, Confucianism would have been eliminated.

The Wang family directly overturned the throne. Confucianism, which had been established for thousands of years, was crippled in one day. This was done under Zhu Ming's suppression. The Wang family has gone crazy!

Especially Wang Gen, who was born in Zaoding. He didn't know a few Chinese characters before starting school. He was sent to a rural school at the age of seven, but it was passed down that he was too poor to study. When he was nineteen years old, he went out to do business with his father in Shandong.

When I visited the Confucius Temple, I was greatly inspired and believed that "the Master is also a human being, and I am also a human being. A saint can learn from it and become a saint."

Then this guy spent more than ten years studying himself to become a great Confucian. Who the hell is this person? If this kind of person were placed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they would not realize that all the disciples are also human beings, and I am also a human being.

You can learn from hundreds of schools, and then start one of the hundreds of schools on your own?

If we connect the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty with the turmoil in the ideological world during this period, it can also be explained that the late chaos is inseparable from the Taizhou School. Although we don't want to admit it, the Donglin Party can be regarded as the direct successor of the Xinxue School.

Zou Yuanbiao, one of the three kings of the Donglin Party, studied under Hu Zhi when he was young. In his youth, Hu Zhi took Wang Yangming's disciples Ouyang De and Luo Hongxian as his students, and carried forward the Wang School's Xinxue.

But later, when Mr. Donglin Gu Xiancheng rebuilt Donglin Academy, he made it very clear that he taught Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and advocated that intellectuals should return to Confucian orthodoxy, dare to face reality, intervene in politics, and pay attention to people's livelihood.

They all seek to get to the bottom of things, restore the orthodox status of Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism, and abandon Wang Yangming's false exaggeration of academic style.

In other words, there was a big split within Donglin. In the early period, Donglin was a disciple of Xinxue, while in the later period, Donglin was a disciple of Neo-Confucianism.

In addition, Yangming's philosophy of mind had become a bad practice in the late Ming Dynasty: it created a bad style of study among literati - aversion to dullness and the pursuit of novelty, which resulted in an empty stomach and a high heart.

All these together form the strange form of the Donglin Party.

All of them only talk about morality, have empty stomachs and high aspirations, dare to face reality, interfere in politics, and care about people's livelihood. However, they have no real strategies, and they are all seeking benefits for themselves and the forces behind them. At the same time, these people also set off a revolution.

The biggest party struggle.

If all this is pursued, it can be blamed on the Wang family.

Kou Zhun's words made everyone start thinking. Everyone felt that after the Wang family split, it seemed that it was easier to produce those strange-acting species. Moreover, the ability of the old Wang family in the Ming Dynasty was really quite different, and the gap between the strange-acting species and the strange-acting species was also very big.

Big.

At this time, Old Wang Dan also thought about these problems, and he also began to think about whether the weird instinct of the Wang family had deformed. Otherwise, why would an academic master sacrifice a dynasty this time?

But everyone knows that these things are just black history that was recorded as a joke and does not count. Besides, the Wang family disintegrated itself in the Song Dynasty, and was divided into dozens of branches throughout history.

Learning this thing can only be said to be because the Wang family has a big boss, but the Ming Dynasty was still a matter of the Little Ice Age and the emperor.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhu Youjian who had no idea what was going on. This person was confused when he heard this, and Zhu Youjian beside him directly pressed him down, preventing him from agreeing to Wang Dan's deal, because

In his opinion, the data of those three companies should be one million tons each, so that the Northern Ming Dynasty controlled by Zhu Youjian can retain some vitality.

Wang Dan thought about Zhu Tie's request and agreed, but he also made a request. He wanted to meet those Qixingzhong who came from Confucianism, that is, those who turned from literature to martial arts and still achieved good results.

Personally, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and if possible, Yuan Chonghuan would also like to meet.

He wanted to know how on earth these people converted directly from Confucianism to military strategism.

Yes, these few people converted from Confucianism to military strategists, and if it weren't for the lack of soldiers, horses, money and food for them in the late Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, these people could at least grow into sub-class top generals, and Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting
