What kind of person is this person? Liu Baiyu was a little confused when he encountered this kind of top-notch product, so he used the plane merchant system to search for information about Fan Zhongchu. He first typed in the keyword Fan Zhongchu, late Ming Dynasty.

I found tens of thousands of results, clicked to take a look, and most of them were bad information! I had to hit Fan Zhongchu again, late Ming Dynasty, Shanxi. I found that this man was indeed the best. As one of the core members of the Fan family of Shanxi merchants, he was actually in

When the Qing army entered the customs, he raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was captured by the Qing army after supporting it for two days. Then he refused to give in and cursed Dorgon. He was executed by the Qing army in a hurry... [Fan Zhongchu made it up himself, but in the late Ming Dynasty,

The demonization of Shanxi merchants is indeed not objective. At least I checked the local county annals, and there are many people who spent their wealth to resist the Qing army. It should be said that Shanxi merchants are an extremely large group, and they are really not the same as the merchants who fornicated and established slaves.

Something happened.]

Forget it, there is no use in ignoring people like this all the time. It’s better to give them a heads-up. There is no way that Confucian scholars in the late Ming Dynasty don’t like to talk well, so they have to play the angry youth style. But as a person with hundreds of years of industrial revolution

Modern people who are backed by knowledge are still afraid of this? Just complain! Don’t make me cry!

Thinking of this, Liu Baiyu pointed at Fan Zhongchu and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, hahaha! It makes me laugh to death! It makes me laugh to death! Fan Zhongchu, are you still a Confucian believer? It makes me laugh to death! The remarks are really, really..."

The biggest characteristic of a person like Fan Zhongchu is that he can shoot whatever he wants without caring about your reaction, but his reaction will not work if you don't say anything. He is essentially the same as a child! When he saw Liu Baiyu reacting like this, he immediately became angry.

His hair stood on end, and he no longer called him Qingshan layman, but called Liu Baiyu by his first name!

"Liu Baiyu! You have reason to argue, so what's the point of making personal attacks? I didn't expect that you are a learned and knowledgeable person, but your personal conduct is so terrible!"

You see, this kind of person will only tell you if you don't give him a good face? But Liu Baiyu also understands that if he wants to be a great scholar, he really needs a few academic loyal dogs. After all, no matter how much mt

If you can resist it, but you don’t have output, you’re a loser, right?

"Humph, it's terrible to be uneducated. What I, a Confucian disciple, pay attention to is to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles! Do you know that Confucius traveled around the world? What about seclusion in the mountains for decades? It's all mysterious things like Buddhism and Taoism! Confucianism pays attention to

The most important thing is to apply knowledge to the world! How can you manage the world and apply it without practice? Do you know that theory and practice should be combined? Do you know that practice is the only criterion for testing truth?"

Of course Fan Zhongchu knew about managing the world and applying it. It was popular in the late Ming Dynasty [although in fact it was not down-to-earth and he still gave blind orders]. He read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and Confucius traveled around the world. Naturally, he also knew this, but what about theory and practice?

In combination, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Fan Zhongchu naturally didn't know, but it sounded very powerful. For a person like Fan Zhongchu who is almost crazy about learning knowledge, the origin of this kind of knowledge is naturally much more important than dignity.

I hurriedly asked Liu Baiyu about the origin of this sentence! The title of Liu Baiyu also changed from Liu Baiyu to Qingshan layman again!

"This... Qingshan layman, is it written by that sage who combines theory with practice? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth? I have little talent and knowledge, and I have never heard of it. I am ashamed, I am ashamed!" As he spoke, Fan

Zhong actually lowered his head for the first time, as if he was too embarrassed to see anyone...

"This is a classic of New Neo-Confucianism. Are you right that you don't know it?" Liu Baiyu looked distressed and shook his head.

"This Neo-Confucianism was established by Zhu Xi, and I have never heard of the New Neo-Confucianism. I wonder if it is the teachings of that great Confucian sage?" As long as there is a source, I will just go home and study it for a long time. Fan Zhongchu breathed a sigh of relief!

"I founded New Neo-Confucianism myself, and you are the first to know!" Liu Baiyu patted Fan Zhongchu on the shoulder, as if you had won a big prize!

Your sister! Fan Zhongchu was petrified, and his thoughts stopped for a while. Although there were more crazy students in the late Ming Dynasty, and there were many Confucian scholars who engaged in performance art, Liu Baiyu was the first one Fan Zhongchu encountered who could be so shameless and kind.

!

"You don't understand, right? It doesn't matter! If you don't understand, just learn it!" Liu Baiyu took out a series of his new works - the foundation of "New Neo-Confucianism" - "New Tianli" pirated copies of Bacon's [New Tools] and other books, [People's Republic of China]

About] pirated copies of Rousseau's "Social Contract", [Qian Yuan] pirated copies of "The Wealth of Nations". They were like small bricks, stuffed heavily into Fan Zhongchu's hands!

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. No one is born with it! Why don't you learn? I'm very optimistic about you, classmate! I'll give you a 10,000-word essay after a month. It's the kind that combines it with actual practice. I'll give you corrections as a teacher. Do you understand?"

Damn! Why does this feel like street fraud? Zheng Zhibao, Liu Zeqing, and Kong Lingqi looked at each other. Although it was a good thing that an angry young man like Fan Zhongchu was instantly dealt with by Liu Baiyu, I still feel that this solution tastes weird!

After getting rid of the unsociable white crow, Liu Baiyu and a few friends started eating, drinking and having fun. They continued the Chinese habit of eating and talking about business and finalized the trade partners of both parties. Liu Baiyu mainly exported various modern commodities as luxury goods.

Products for sale, including Western medicine, glass, mirrors, stainless steel cutlery, wine, beer, modern high-altitude wine, artificial gemstones, artificial diamonds, artificial pearls, artificially cultivated ginseng, deer antlers, modern Hanfu, etc., as for armor, weapons and other things

, Liu Baiyu didn’t want to give it to others, after all, his goal was to dominate the world, not to make money and increase numbers.

Zheng Zhibao, Liu Zeqing, and Kong Lingqi agreed to enter the plane merchant system to buy various rare woods, exquisite furniture, antiques, thread-bound books, worthless Ming Dynasty treasure notes, precious Chinese herbal medicines, natural gemstones, porcelain, etc. at high prices.

Wait, there are even a large number of indentured slaves!

"Hey, Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, I still have some indentured servants, but unfortunately they are all from the south. If they don't adapt to the climate in Shandong, most of them will die! And our Zheng family also needs people in Taiwan... But Brother Liu

It would be easier if you didn’t just want Han Chinese!”

"Is there a large population other than Han people?" Liu Baiyu asked curiously!

"Japanese! It's all because the Tokugawa shogunate banned Christianity and suppressed samurai who had to go to sea! Brother Liu, I can tell you, these Japanese have much less food to eat, are loyal and reliable, and are braver and better at fighting than the Han people.

How wonderful it is!”

"The Japanese eat less and do much more. I believe they are brave and good at fighting. How can we talk about loyalty and reliability?" Liu Baiyu's impression of the Japanese basically comes from movies and games. The movie shows that Japanese soldiers repeatedly defeat their superiors and have nothing to do with coups.

, the game is like the Warring States Period in Japan. There are only a few loyal and brave warriors, but there are groups of rebels! It doesn’t matter how you say it has nothing to do with being loyal and reliable!

"You're saying that Japanese samurai often change their families, right? Well, it's just because they don't have time to eat if they don't change their families. How many people can be as loyal as Guan Gong and never abandon their lord? Brother Liu's request is a bit overwhelming." Zheng Zhibao euphemistically asked.

said.

"That's right. Besides, Liu Guan and Zhang are sworn brothers. How can ordinary civil servants compare with him? The question is, my younger brother is just a country bumpkin. Can a Japanese samurai who values ​​righteousness and honor be used by me?"

"No problem, no problem. The nicknames of Japanese warriors are just good-sounding names. Japanese warriors regard us Han landowners as their nicknames, so for us, the more Japanese warriors pay attention to their righteousness, the better!

"

Damn it! Liu Baiyu couldn't help but feel a little pity for the Japanese samurai. Aren't they essentially the bastards of the landlords? And if calculated this way, if the Japanese had a famous name of 10,000 shi, and a nickname of 1,000 shi would be converted into the output of the Ming Dynasty, the threshold
