Of course, you cannot cut the braids! You must not cut the braids in your heart, and it is best not to cut the braids on the back of your head.

Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong were good servants in the Qing Dynasty. How could they be willing to cut their braids that were more precious than life-threatening for just a few extra points? They would rather cut their R than cut their braids!

So the two of them honestly paid the braid tax for themselves and their subordinates, and then put on a melon-skin hat that could hide their braids, and passed the Sanyuanli Pass.

After passing the customs, I walked south for about three or four miles and arrived at the Dabei Gate at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain.

The Dabei Gate was originally the north gate of the inner city of Guangzhou. During the reign of Shang Kexi, the inner city of Guangzhou was a banner city, so ordinary Han people were not allowed to enter and exit the Dabei Gate. Because ordinary Han people could not enter and exit, the market inside the Dabei Gate was not very prosperous, and the streets were renovated very wide. Most of the streets were the residences of the sons of the official monk Kexi.

Shang Kexi has many sons, and each son has to build a big house. Therefore, there is a place to build a building all year round, so there is no time to stop.

In addition, the Guancheng in Guangzhou is also located within the Dabei Gate, just next to Yuexiu Mountain. You can go out from the back door of the Guancheng in order to enjoy the mountain.

Fu Honglie was an official in Shaozhou Prefecture in his early years and often came to Guangzhou Prefecture to handle official duties. Every time he entered the city from Dabei Gate and then went straight to Guangzhou Inn, so he was very familiar with the area inside Dabei Gate.

Now that I am revisiting the old place, things change, and Fu Honglie is of course very emotional.

I remember when he came to Guangzhou Prefecture to handle the job, he was still a very energetic Tongzhi and had a wealth of wealth at home.

But now, he has been demoted for the people, lost all his money and became a laughing stock in the officialdom. Everyone calls him Fu Shazi behind his back. If Prince Dingnan hadn't seen him pitiful and handsome, he would have spared his exile from being a military officer, he would still be a garrison now!

But if he is not a garrison, he is also a candid. I don’t know when he will be able to stand out? It’s so desperate to think about it!

"Brother Zhongmou, is this a guest house?" Zhou Peigong's voice suddenly rang in Fu Honglie's ears, interrupting his thoughts.

Fu Honglie looked up and saw a very familiar yamen-style door in front of him, which was exactly what he remembered as the gate of Guangzhou Prefecture Inn.

"Yes, it's here!" Fu Honglie said, "The anti-counter I encountered just now in Sanyuanli, ah, it's the one who asked us to stay here."

Speaking of this, Fu Honglie himself was stunned because he heard the sound of "Hi Hi Hi" from the gate of the inn with the plaque of "Original Confucian Pavilion". It sounded very neatly, as if someone was practicing martial arts inside.

What's going on?

Why are there people practicing martial arts inside? Isn’t this place not a restaurant or a military camp?

While he was stunned, a group of "bearded scholars" wearing red and light red robes came and turned over and got off the horse when they arrived at the entrance of the inn. A Confucian scholar with a scary scar on his face saw Fu Honglie, Zhou Peigong and others. So he shouted: "Hey, are you here to listen to the sages of the saints? It's almost time, it's time to go in!"

After saying that, this "Scar Religion" stepped into the inn in a burgeoning manner.

The saint preached?

After hearing this, Zhou Peigong and Fu Honglie felt incredible!

How come there are saints?

No, I have to listen.

When they met the two of them, they quickly walked into the inn, walked into the gate, and then walked around the screen wall. They were stunned again.

Because they saw the murals painted on the wall on the side of the screen wall facing the inside of the door!

This mural paints the blank space on the painting "Confucius's sermon" with a title, which is written like this.

But Confucius in this painting is wrong!

The eyes wide open, the sword eyebrows were raised, and they looked like they were about to get angry. In addition, Confucius was kneeling on the mat, holding a sword in his left hand, a bamboo slip in his right hand, a grenade hammer hanging on his belt, and a bird gun was leaning against a wall behind him

How could this be Confucius?

Just as they thought of this, they suddenly shouted in unison: "Welcome the saint! Wei Guan Zhong, my hair is covered with a left-sided lapel!"

Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the place where the shouts came out. When they saw it, their chins were almost shocked.

I only saw rows of bamboo mats in the huge courtyard. On each bamboo mat was kneeling, a Confucian scholar dressed like a fierce Confucius. There was no grenade on his belt, nor a musket on his back, but there was a long sword on his left hand!

Where these Confucian scholars faced, there was a wooden platform with a row of futons on it.

A group of Confucian scholars in red clothes, yellow turbans, long swords, copper hammers, and muskets on their waists have already climbed to the high platform. The leader is extremely fierce and is obviously not a good Confucian scholar, but the Confucian scholars in the courtyard cheered like crazy when they saw his arrival.

"Sage, saint, saint"

It turns out that the person who came to Yuan Confucian Pavilion to preach today was Zhu Heying, the saint prince!

Prince Zhu has been busier this time than before! Because in a few days, the "college entrance examination" will begin!

So he had to seize the time to do some ideological work for the Confucian scholars gathered in Guangzhou. He had to help them change their thinking and accept the "original Confucianism" created by Zhu Hetong himself, and transform from a Lingnan Confucian scholar who only knows exams, becomes an official, and fights to a Confucian scholar who understands the great power of the Confucian scholar and knows who and why they want to fight for.

After completing the transformation, Zhu Hetian would also invite them to join the so-called original Confucian school, which is actually a budding party.

The call for "the world is the public, the world is harmonious, and the original Confucianism is retro".

The specific route is to restore the Chinese clothes first!

Then, the method of gradually implementing equal land, equal taxes and equal service, supporting rich peasants, supporting clan collective agriculture, suppressing large landlords, encouraging industry and commerce, exploring overseas trade, and vigorously developing education, etc., is very simple, but it is most in line with the current national conditions.

Today, China is different from that of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Now it has few people and many lands, and there are many wastelands available for distribution. Moreover, most of the landlords who occupy a large amount of land are bannermen and nobles, and they are lackeys of officials from the Qing Dynasty. During the anti-Qing and restoration movement, their land must be deprived.

Therefore, the newly opened Ming Dynasty court will inevitably have a large amount of distributable land. In this case, promoting equal land based on households or clans and supporting and developing rich peasants or clan collective economy will definitely be beneficial to liberating agricultural productivity.

In addition, it is easier to develop capitalist industry and commerce in this era.

Because China also occupies three "top industries" of silk, porcelain and sugar, and they all have monopoly advantages, this advantage can last for a long time.

This is completely different from the situation in the late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China where even the silk industry was almost taken away!

As for the difficulties of developing and developing overseas, it is actually not very big. Although Western imperialism has developed, it is impossible to compare with the strength of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

If we can use the power of the country to support overseas trade and expansion at this time, not to mention planting the sun and moon flags all over the world, it will be no difficulty to gain a world in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

In fact, what prevents China from flourishing in this era is a series of wrong policies of the Qing Dynasty itself.

Of course, we cannot push all our sins to the Qing Dynasty!

This is unfair! And it does not help China's rise in the future!

Because Chinese civilization cannot be prosperous in this era, Confucianism, the core force of Chinese civilization, must bear the main responsibility!

It is precisely because of the weakness of Confucianism that the weakness of Chinese civilization has caused the decline of Chinese civilization that the Qing Dynasty was able to successfully enter China. The Qing Dynasty, which entered China, further castrated the already weak Confucianism, completely losing the ability to lead the Chinese civilization to move forward.

It can be said that Confucianism in the early Qing Dynasty was already in a dying state!

If Confucianism wants to revive itself, it can only "restart" Confucianism to bring Confucianism back to its fierce and vigorous state when it rose and flourished.

In fact, the restart of this civilization has happened once in Europe. The Renaissance, the Protestant movement, and the Puritan movement, which transformed European Christian civilization, is actually a restart!
