"According to Your Highness, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage. This is also the ideal principle. Do we also need to know the way to conquer it?"
In discussions of philosophy and ideas, everyone, regardless of high or low, can speak.
Galileo, a Western scholar, actually completed the study of Eastern philosophy and thought in a short period of time and was able to participate in discussions.
It has to be said that genius is a genius wherever he is and will definitely shine.
"Everything must be discussed dialectically."
Zuo Menggeng was neither stage frightened nor panicked about such discussions.
Although he is not a philosopher, let alone a thinker. But his vast knowledge and his practice over the years have given him a superior ideological outlook.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies by making up for the excess. Just like throughout the ages, no matter how prosperous the dynasties were, they would eventually fall apart and be replaced by those who came after them. So what should we do from the standpoint of these dynasties?
Reversing this historical law can allow the country to maintain long-term stability, prosperity and continuous development. Is that the way to win through knowing?"
Lu Shanji let out a long sigh.
"Since ancient times, there have been countless sages and famous kings, but who can do it?"
Zuo Mengeng nodded, knowing that he was right.
"No matter how difficult it is, this is what we dream of. The only thing we can do is to keep thinking, keep experimenting, and keep working hard to try our best to achieve this great goal."
Not to mention the rise of dynasties, even among all things in the world, it is extremely difficult to change the objective law of "the excess of losses must be compensated for the deficiencies".
Just like the commercial football games of later generations, why is it that no matter how strong a team is, it is difficult to always win and is always surpassed by its opponents?
This is a manifestation of excess losses but insufficient compensation.
As a strong and victorious party, standing in the leading position is certainly a great success, but it is difficult to find its own problems. Therefore, it is difficult to make further progress and always maintain the leading advantage.
But his opponent, on the other hand, can stand behind and watch from the sidelines, constantly studying and observing. Sooner or later, he will be able to find the weaknesses of the strong, and at the same time, continue to strengthen himself, and finally surpass him at the right time.
From the perspective of a strong person, of course I hope to change the law of more than enough damage but not enough.
But how difficult it is to discover one's own weaknesses and find the right direction in the midst of constant victory!
This is the tragedy of the leader.
In other words, if there is someone who can really overcome the objective law of "making up for the excess of the loss", then he is definitely an extraordinary and holy being in the world.
Zhang Pu's article had just caused waves, and Liu Zongzhou's counterattack soon arrived.
Nowadays, the influence of Xiaguo Daily does not only exist within the territory of Xiaguo, but has spread to the entire world.
The world accepts this new media carrier of public opinion very quickly.
Whether you are a famous scholar or a commoner, you can find the content you like in newspapers.
Since it is called a daily newspaper, of course it is published and distributed every day.
However, due to current technical limitations, the distribution of Xiaguo Daily varies greatly depending on the region.
Shandong Province can achieve real-time updates every day, and people in the region can have access to the freshest information at the first time.
In Lianghuai Province, it takes three days at night.
This is still the result of the Xiaguo Daily headquarters here in Shandong rushing to send the samples to Huaihe and Huaihe for local printing and distribution. Otherwise, the speed will be even slower.
Arriving at Songjiang Prefecture, which is further away, will be delayed for about five days.
The huge influence brought by Xiaguo Daily brought countless readers to the Ming Dynasty.
Although Xiaguo Daily could not be published within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there were people with great powers who could obtain newspapers through various means.
And because the Xiaguo Daily is published at different times in various regions, it has even given birth to a whole new industry.
Foot replacement.
That is, running errands.
People in the Ming Dynasty who were very hungry for the Xia Kingdom's daily newspapers paid for it and asked people in the Xia Kingdom to help buy the newspapers and then deliver them to their hands.
Even if the time is delayed longer, the information in the newspaper is the most important.
Henan, Huguang and other places close to the Lianghuai region, and Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places close to Songjiang Prefecture can all offer first-come-first-serve services.
As for Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi and other places farther away, we can only look at the ocean and wait hard. Moreover, the newspapers available are incomplete and contain many omissions.
Even so, when Liu Zongzhou's article was published, it still caused a great sensation all over the world.
In order to refute Zhang Pu, Liu Zongzhou wrote a special article "On Tao and Art", which elaborated on the relationship between the two.
Not only that, in this issue’s layout, Zuo Mengeng’s arguments are specially developed at the head position.
"The Philosophical Analysis Behind the Theory of Taoism"
This article had an even greater impact, like a peerless magic weapon that suddenly cut through the turbulent ideological chaos in the world today.
Yangzhou Prefecture, Taizhou, Rugao.
This is within the Kingdom of Xia.
But in a quiet and elegant courtyard, a handsome scholar couldn't help but let out a long sigh after reading that day's Xiaguo Daily.
"With such a king of Xia and such a master, who can disapprove of it? This is the general trend of the world and it should be like this!"
After sighing with emotion, the scholar laughed and immediately swept away the depression all over his body.
He tidied himself up, went out with high spirits, walked into the Yangzhou City Hall, and came to Fu Yijian.
"Mayor Fu, student Mao Xiang wants to serve the country, please give him a chance."
South Zhili, Jiangyin County.
In a slightly dilapidated courtyard, an old gentleman was having a serious conversation with the owner of the courtyard.
"Your Majesty traveled all over the world during his lifetime, and gained so much that no one has ever done it before, and no one will come after him. Of course, everyone who studies should follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, but what your Majesty did was a crooked way. Today I read Liu Niantai's treatise, and I know that your life was not at the right time.
I plan to collect your father's legacy and present it to the Xia Kingdom to shine on the world. What do you think?"
The owner of the yard was very excited.
"What the teacher said is exactly what the students meant."
The master and apprentice hit it off immediately, and immediately carefully sorted out all the manuscripts at home, piled them into three large carts, and then headed east to Songjiang Mansion.
Their actions even alarmed Xu Ji.
"Xia Guo attaches great importance to practical learning and sincerely serves as a model for our generation. This is what my owner, Mr. Xiake, earned from his lifelong travels, and I would like to offer it to Xia Guo. If I can do my best to benefit the world, Mr. Xiake can rest in peace.
