"You have said so much just to tell me that many of the goods of your Puhui Company are from the study of objects, such as this porcelain?"
Fan Zhongyan was smiling, but he was actually testing.
Ye An, of course, refused to accept anyone who came. He nodded with a smile and said: "Fan Gong, in my opinion, it is with the help of the study of things that our Puhui Company can produce so many goods so quickly. Puhui Company
I have always wanted to open every state capital in the Song Dynasty, but I have always been restrained by the kid. For this, I was often criticized by the shopkeepers at the shopkeepers meeting!"
"Businesskeepers' Conference?! What is that? Why don't you do it when you can open shops in every state capital? Although it is not as good as Tokyo City, the income is still quite a lot!"
Wu Zunlu spoke curiously from the side, but his expression changed as he spoke.
Carefully probed: "So your Puhui business can meet the needs of all states? This should be restrained, otherwise your family will be the only one, and how will others survive!"
But Fan Zhongyan looked horrified. What Wu Zunlu saw was Puhui Company's terrifying expansion speed, but he saw its terrifying production capacity. If it was true as Ye An said, Puhui Company's methods would probably monopolize the entire industry.
Production in the Song Dynasty!
By then, Puhui Stores will be opened in every state capital, regardless of size. How many people in the world will rely on this small store to make a living?
Fan Zhongyan felt his scalp tingle just thinking about that scene. This was not just a conjecture on his part, but could really happen. With Ye An's ability and the financial resources of Puhui Company, if it is not restrained, there will probably be a
A giant that even the imperial court cannot control.
Even now, the scale and tax revenue of Puhui Company are already too big for the imperial court. Fortunately, it is in the hands of Ye An, and there are also shares of the Cao family and the Li family. Otherwise, this company is likely to become another one of the Song Dynasty.
question!
If all this comes from the study of studying things, then this knowledge is too scary. Fortunately, Ye An is not a self-conscious person. Now he is promoting his study of studying things, which is very important to the Song Dynasty.
It's a great thing.
Fan Zhongyan looked at the scholars on the street, and then at the common people who advocated the study of studies more, and suddenly he seemed to see the future of the study of studies.
It is difficult for the principles of Confucianism to be explained in front of ordinary people, but the study of things is different and closer to the lives of the people. Many small principles can be seen everywhere in the lives of the people, some of which are not even profound, and the people
These things are often enjoyed.
Confucianism is fundamentally not a study for common people. Many great principles require years of study to understand. Confucian classics are not something ordinary literate people can understand, not to mention that more common people are illiterate...
But the study of inquiry is different. These inquiry scholars can explain a truth clearly through some simple common sense, and even extend it. This is what Confucianism is difficult to achieve, making it popular for the common people.
The most important thing is that this method is novel even to Fan Zhongyan himself, while Wu Zunlu beside him has already begun to experiment with teacups.
"This study of studying objects is really mysterious. If it is promoted, it will be a great thing to open up people's wisdom!"
Wu Zunlu looked at the appearance of the people and was quite emotional. If the people's wisdom is opened, then evil ways like the White Lotus Society will have nowhere to hide, and who will believe in them?
But when these words fell into Fan Zhongyan's ears, it was the sound of Hong Zhong Da Lu's ringing.
The study of studying things may open up people's minds and enlighten their people's wisdom. Once this happens, it will run counter to the method of fooling the people in Confucianism.
In the eyes of scholars, the stability of the world has always been guaranteed by the constraints of "the people can make it happen, but not make it known." Now if Confucianism opens up the people's wisdom, it will create too much doubt.
"I don't think it's a good thing when the people are enlightened. If anyone can interpret the government of the court at will, how can local officials manage it as appropriate? Some unreasonable things in the government will be ignored.
Someone who wants to take advantage of it and create resentment among the people may... not necessarily be a good thing."
Fan Zhongyan spoke slightly worriedly. His words surprised Ye An. In fact, the enlightenment of people's wisdom will indeed have an impact on feudal rule, but there are many benefits.
On the contrary, Wu Zunlu said dissatisfiedly: "It is a good thing that the people are enlightened. Isn't this the words of the saints and the teachings of the sages? Why not!"
This is a dialogue between idealists and realists. Ye An, the person who put forward the point of view, couldn't help but dissuade: "Everything has not started yet. What is the use of arguing between the two? Besides, let's talk about the people's wisdom opened up by the study of things.
Confucianism is still needed as the foundation. When Fan Gong taught and founded schools in Yingtian Mansion, have you ever seen people who have just come into contact with Confucianism immediately understand the meaning of the book? It still takes time to study and analyze it slowly!"
Fan Zhongyan nodded slightly, thinking about it, Confucianism has taught the people for many years, but few people have opened their minds. How can the study of objects be so capable, and the people can open their minds as soon as they learn it? Not to mention that Fan Zhongyan didn't believe it, even Wu Zunlu shook his head.
He laughed and scolded Lao Fan for worrying too much.
Only Ye An smiled in his heart. Lao Fan's words just now shocked him. This guy really wasn't overly worried. Compared with Confucianism, the development of people's wisdom by studying things was really remarkable.
If nothing else, let’s just talk about the Yangcheng Academy that I opened in Yangcheng County. How many of the students who studied Quwu and Confucianism were outstanding and understood by analogy?
Learning with scientific methods is always much faster than studying hard, and Confucianism and the study of things complement each other, which is more conducive to people's thinking.
At present, there are nearly ten versions of the interpretation of the Analects by students and gentlemen in Yangcheng Academy, which is a very terrible thing for traditional Confucianism.
But all this happened quietly and had not yet appeared in front of the world. Yangcheng Academy has been hiding its capabilities and biding its time for so many years and has never participated in the imperial examinations in order to remain silent and become famous.
This year, Zhao Zhen will take charge, which will definitely be the year when all things will be renewed. There will definitely be a great big Bienke. It will also be the time when the phoenix of Yangcheng Academy will sing for nine days!
I have been paving the way for the study of science and technology for so many years, but there has never been any evidence of the combination of study of science and technology with Confucianism. How many people have included the study of science and technology as a craftsman’s study, and how many people have suppressed, ridiculed, or even slandered it?
But little did he know that all these operations in the court were within Ye An's expectation. After all, the officials of the Song Dynasty were only half-students of the study of objects. How could Zhao Zhen, who saw is believing, not know how good he was in studying the objects?
Seeing that the study of gurus was suppressed in this way, I was not angry at all. If I opened Enke, how could I get less attention to the studies of gurus?
No one can change or shake Ye An's determination to develop the study of objects, just like Fan Zhongyan's reforms. Now Lao Fan has begun to think about the reform, but you must know that Ye An had already started to study the studies of objects a few years ago.
Paving the way!
For Ye An, the Bailian Society in Jianghuai is a small matter, and the people's faith is also a small matter. The development of geophysics and the quelling of the disaster are major events. Therefore, after receiving the order to annihilate the White Lotus Society, he immediately began to prepare for war.
However, not having any usable soldiers is the biggest drawback.
