Chapter 2022 Is there anyone in the world who reads the Tao of Confucius and Mencius?
Although I was very concerned about the "industrial chain" thing and really trusted it, I still couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Don't you have anything to say? This is obviously not a trivial matter. How long are you going to keep silent?"
Li Er said this.
Fang Xuanling and others looked at each other and pondered for a while.
In the end, Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, if this matter becomes popular in the world, it will certainly have the effect of making wealth."
"But in this case, will anyone in the world still read the teachings of Confucius and Mencius?"
Fang Xuanling said this.
Several other ministers moved their bodies and adjusted their stances in unison.
Obviously.
Although no one agreed, there was no doubt that this adjustment of stance meant that all the ministers cared very much about Fang Xuanling's words.
When Li Er heard this, his eyes could not help but widen slightly.
When several ministers said this, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart.
It seems like this is really the case!
From this point of view, many things become much simpler.
The crux of the problem lies in the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius.
For the current Tang Dynasty to prosper, it is inevitable to engage in commerce and industry. This has been proven by reality.
The commercial and industrial sectors are also difficult to manage, and it is not just pie in the sky that makes Datang cheaper.
This also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and a lot of scholars to contribute their efforts!
It is nothing more than that commerce and industry consumed manpower and material resources, but the craftsmen, factory workers and scholars who participated in all this also earned profits from it, which was not low.
But that's about it, although it seems to be running pretty well so far,
——But what if it continues to develop?
Everyone in the world is focusing on commerce and industry. Doesn’t this mean that no one takes the teachings of Confucius and Mencius seriously?
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but feel that this matter was really difficult to bear.
Although the teachings of Confucius and Mencius were something that gave him a headache as a military elite who grew up in Longxi, it was also because the previous members of the Five Surnames and Qiwang group were basically literati who specialized in this kind of thing.
Li Er is even more displeased with these things, but...
Li Er even knew that these things were indispensable because everyone needs faith.
If the teachings of Confucius and Mencius really stopped being read by anyone, what would become popular in China?
This is something no one can say for sure.
It may be Taoism, it may be Buddhism, there are some signs at present, and even in the future, these signs are likely to be popular.
Not to mention the dignified China, is it good that all the men of the Han family go to worship the gods of the barbarians?
However, since even Confucius and Mencius are gradually disappearing, how can Buddhism and Taoism survive, and how long can they survive? It is hard to say.
Under these difficulties, Li Er gradually came to a conclusion. It is no wonder that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were opposed to this matter.
If the people have no masters in their hearts, they will inevitably think of chaos.
If this is the case, then as a monarch, you really have to consider your position in the court. However,
Despite this, Li Er finally shook his head, his face darkened, but his eyes gradually became firm.
"No, this industrial chain matter must continue."
"His Majesty?"
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Er and couldn't help being a little stunned, "Datang is after all..."
What Fang Xuanling means is that in the final analysis of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how much the content of production and lifestyle has changed, the people are still these people.
Without the existence of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, would the world really not be in chaos because of this?
Although this time it was the emperor who insisted.
But Fang Xuanling and several of his peers behind him all showed deep doubts, no doubt.
Several brothers are not at ease with Li Er's statement!
However, although several ministers did not say anything, their expressions expressed their opposition in unison.
But Li Er took a deep breath and said very solemnly.
"Whether it's Confucius and Mencius, Buddhism or Taoism, we'll have to wait until later to discuss it. No matter what."
"The major affairs of the family and the country are ultimately supported by strength, not by these frivolous pursuits. No matter how many risks Datang will face in the future because of these things, we must not deviate from our true intentions."
"After all, wealth and strength are the key to governing the world. Whether the people live better and whether the imperial army becomes stronger is the most important thing!"
After Li Er finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to his side and took out a blank edict.
When Fang Xuanling and others saw this, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted, no longer arguing.
Everyone was awestruck in their hearts. It seemed that the emperor had really made up his mind, and there was no need to argue. At the same time, the emperor said these words.
Every word and every sentence is extremely heavy. Even with the talents of Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others, they have to admit that what Li Er said is actually right.
When governing the affairs of the world, we do not look at whether the people are doing well or not, but whether the imperial army is strong or not, and instead look at the Taoism of Confucius and Mencius and the Taoism of Buddhism. This is obviously unjustifiable.
Even so, when they exited the Manna Hall, the ministers couldn't help but exchange looks with each other - you looked at me, I looked at you, and this look.
The very act of observing each other made several famous officials of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but show doubts.
It seems that this is what happened, but the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are gradually being forgotten. Will this really not lead to any bad results?
Although they had this doubt in their hearts, Fang Xuanling and others did not say anything in the end. The emperor's choice was equivalent to,
Although it seems a bit stubborn, the reason is also very clear. It is not easy to object if you really want to object. And gradually as they leave the palace and return to their respective mansions, Fang Xuanling and others gradually accept Li Er
statement, or idea.
In any case, Datang is at least constantly getting richer and stronger. As for the rest, just think about it slowly. At least for a period of time, there should be no sudden problems.
"What?!"
"Industrial chain? What is this?"
Wang Jing was holding a piece of paper and frowning attentively.
There are a few old guys beside him, namely Pei,
All the old men looked at Wang Jing one after another, and they all looked at Wang Jing with frowns.
However, the expressions of the elders were mainly confused and confused, while Wang Jing's face looked faintly pale.
At this moment, all the elders are in Siam in the southeast corner and are currently dealing with many matters in the southeast corner.
These matters are naturally the public offering conducted by Wang Jing and others in Southeast Bay and the sending of people to Australia to occupy the land. However, at the moment, the matter of occupying the land has not been revealed, but at this time, a letter reported
