Chapter 161 The Nan Cha Troubles () deserve it

As a former grassroots cadre of the Red Dynasty, Gao Pragmatic knows all too well the power of "unity and confidence".

Youdao says that "strong fortresses are often breached from within." Jiangnan is the core position of the Xin School. Scholars and officials are filled with disciples and fans of Xin Xue. The promotion of the spirit of practical learning here is quite limited.

For an idea to be spread and promoted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it cannot just rely on a few people to shout about it. It needs more people to understand its benefits. This means that the idea must be able to meet the expectations of the audience and bring them benefits.

beneficial.

Does Xinxue meet the expectations of Jiangnan officials and scholars? Basically, the prosperity of Jiangnan's economy has made it easier for Jiangnan officials and students (preparatory officials) to rely on the scholar privileges granted by the court to gain benefits among the people, and then they have

It represents a more "high-level" spiritual need, similar to the so-called "personality" in later generations.

Individualism is not bad, and later generations also advocated individualism, but that kind of liberation is to enable people to "have their own strengths", develop and exercise their abilities according to their own preferences and specialties, and create better things for society.

High value and realize self-sublimation.

However, this is not the case with the late stream of Xinxue, which is obviously a variation of the orthodox Lu Wang Xinxue. It has strayed away from Wang Yangming’s real purpose of “toward conscience” and other spiritual ideas, and instead pursues illusory ideas such as “There is nothing outside the heart” and “There is no self outside the heart”.

Goal. This should actually be attributed to metaphysics, Zen and the like, and is of little use to social progress.

However, the reason why the late stream of Xin Xue was widely spread in Jiangnan is not limited to this. This variant of Lu Wang Xin Xue also led to a kind of thinking, that is, "I" is independent of society, and whether my behavior is moral or legitimate does not matter.

It needs to be questioned by outsiders. If "I" think it is okay, I will do it.

What will this lead to? At least, since I shouldn't be questioned, it doesn't matter if I do something unique or even out of the ordinary. You should even regard it as "my" personality, and you should praise it.

.

What does this look like? Yes, it looks like the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

When the economy develops to a certain level, there will always be thoughts like this, just like the rebellious period of youth that everyone will go through, "How can you old-fashioned people understand me", "I am different" or even "I am invincible in the world"

”.

Xinxue Moliu catered to this economic reality and ideological trend, so it took root in Jiangnan and made Jiangnan its base camp. Even though opposition groups such as Gu Xiancheng and others are now beginning to appear, to be honest, it is not enough to shake the Xinxue base camp.

foundation.

Why is the promotion of practical learning always slow in Jiangnan? Because the fundamental stance of the practical school is to make the country rich and the people strong, and its first task is to make the country rich - the people are not actually weak, but the country's finances are weak now.

For officials and students in Jiangnan, I have made a good fortune. Now you come here and ask me to make more contributions to the country. Why? Do you have a big face? As for you saying that I will get richer when the country is rich, I'm sorry.

I can't see it, and even if I see it, I'm too lazy to wait. Who knows how long this process will take? All I see is: You want me to pay more fucking taxes.

Because of this, except for a few people in Jiangnan who directly connected with Jinghua and boarded the Jinghua fortune train, such as Wei Guogong Xu Bangrui, Linhuai Marquis Li Yangong and others, other local officials in Jiangnan basically stayed away from practical learning.

As for why the north has a high degree of acceptance of practical learning, the reason is very simple: I am poor anyway, and you say that your method can make me rich, then I will give you some time to see if you can do it.

It won't be a big deal for me to lose money at first. I'll be patient and it will be over.

What does it mean to have a different social foundation? This is a difference. Just like if you let future generations of students from Beijing, Shanghai and students from Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces enter key universities with the same scores, they and even their parents will definitely not agree. This is the objective nature of society.

It is determined by reality and it is difficult to judge with absolute right or wrong.

This reality determines that the advancement of practical learning in Jiangnan is very slow. Even if the practical school once promoted generals such as Han Ji to positions such as governor of Yingtian and governor of Zhejiang, it could not change this status quo. Because under the current circumstances,

, Jiangnan officials were united to resist the "invasion" of practical learning.

In the original history, it was not until the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse that the mainstream of society began to strongly criticize Xinxue and even Donglin, which was also corrupting rapidly.

But unfortunately, it's too late.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic must find a way to change this situation. Even if Jiangnan officials and Shilin are not willing to accept it, he must forcefully break their illusions, drive in the wedge, bury the seeds, and change step by step.

Breaking this unity is Gao Pragmatic's first move.

If Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, the two Xinxue players, give up on them and make them feel abandoned, it will obviously cause a crack in this unity. This kind of crack is a crack between the upper and lower levels, which means that the upper and lower levels of Xinxue

of fragmentation.

The upper echelons saw further and believed that abandoning Li Chengliang at this time would cause the Xin School to lose power in the court, which would then lead to the Real School to fully dominate the court and directly suppress the Jiangnan base camp.

Xinxue is both a school and a political group. Once it completely loses its right to speak in the court, how can it be expected that the people's slobber will force the Real School, which has control of political and military power, to make concessions? It is purely a daydream.

But the lower levels will not see it this way. They will think that we are the foundation of Xinxue. You are so stupid that you abandon the foundation and ignore it. Instead, you put the cart before the horse to defend a mere gangster. If you are not a traitor, who is a traitor?

When there is discord between the upper and lower levels of mental learning, practical learning has the opportunity to take advantage of it. This is what Gao Pragmatic wants.

As for confidence, this is also very important. It and unity actually have a symbiotic relationship to a large extent. Because of unity, everyone has the confidence to win; because of confidence in victory, everyone is united.

During the red and blue civil wars in later generations, the blue side was originally stronger, but it was not united internally and could not unite the people. Its leadership ability was not as good as that of the red side, so the war was unfavorable. When the war was unfavorable, it gradually lost confidence and became even less united.

, so the war became even more unfavorable, and it was ultimately defeated.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao pragmatism wants to create this effect. First, let the Xin School be disunified, and then take the opportunity to wedge the power of the Real School into Jiangnan, so that the Xin School officials in Jiangnan will create a building.

The general's frustration, and then his internal dissatisfaction, gave rise to various factions that did not recognize each other, which further weakened his ability to resist practical learning, and eventually he was completely defeated.

A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest. No matter how Hai Rui investigated this time, or who it was that fell down, in short, as long as Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue did not try their best to save it, "ant nests" would naturally occur.

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue can only choose between solving long-term worries and solving short-term worries, but no matter which choice they make, defeat will be booked in advance.

Unless they choose to fight tooth and nail and fight to the death with the Real School, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that two "mature and prudent" bureaucrats will not be so "rash". Especially Shen Shixing, as a typical bureaucrat very similar to Xu Jie, he will only subconsciously avoid risks, even if he endures the humiliation for it.

No matter what.

Wang Xijue's bureaucratic habits were originally a little weaker than Shen Shixing's, and he might choose to fully resist. Unfortunately, this time Gao Pinggong quietly laid out plans in Jiangnan, allowing Hai Rui to catch Wang Xijue's sore foot.

This pain was not fatal, but Wang Xijue's tendency to care too much about reputation hurt him, making him afraid to be too insistent on this matter. Instead, he was persuaded by Shen Shixing to "aim high".

This is where the high pragmatic happiness comes from.

After hearing this, Liu Xin was dumbfounded and had goose bumps. Looking at Gao Pingshi's rather proud look, she took a deep breath and said, "You are really full of conspiracies and tricks, and you are full of bad ideas."

Gao Jingshi's smile suddenly froze, and he said awkwardly: "Look at what you said, I... at least the starting point is very good, can't you use two words instead, such as Miao Mo Gaoyuan, God's cleverness and so on?"

Liu Xin shook her head hastily: "No, no, in your case, the best way I can think of is, 'Loyal ministers are more treacherous than traitorous ministers, so they will not be harmed by traitorous ministers' - although I think that you are actually a loyal minister.

It’s a bit suspenseful, it doesn’t seem very fair to say that Shen Shixing and the others are traitors.”

Gao Pragmatic rolled his eyes and looked like "I'm going to be pissed off by you."

Liu Xin covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Okay, okay, you are the most powerful, can't you do it?"

A lonely man and a widow, this sentence is really easy to make people daydream. Gao Qingshi asked himself that he has seen countless beauties in his past and present lives. When he suddenly heard this sentence, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.

However, he did not hide his reaction. He coughed dryly and said, "You can praise me as much as you want, but don't say it so insincerely, okay?"

Liu Xin may have realized that there was something wrong with what she just said, her face turned slightly red, she looked away slightly and said: "Da Sinong has to hear so many flattery words every day, and he doesn't miss my words or two."

."

"That's right." Gao Pingshi climbed down the steps: "It's all fake anyway, so I'll take it as your compliment."

Liu Xin pursed her lips and smiled, but this time she didn't dare to say anything casually. But it would be a bit awkward, so she had no choice but to find something to say and asked: "Where is Ye He's princess?"

Gao Pingshi was startled and said hesitantly: "Well... based on the distance, we may be almost at Yingkou. Why, are you very concerned about this matter?"

In fact, Liu Xin felt a little regretful as soon as she said these words. Meng Guzhezhe was the one that Ye He planned to give to Gao Jingshi as his concubine. She was a girl who took the initiative to care about her, which seemed to be a bit of a taste.

Who would have expected that Gao Pingshi was a little uneasy just now, and actually asked directly, "Are you very concerned about this matter?", which seemed to confirm Liu Xin's intention.

"Why should I care about her? Huang Dutong should be the one to care about her. I'm just asking casually."

Well, it's better not to explain.

Gao Pingshi laughed dryly and said: "So you are just trying to trick me on behalf of Zhiting as your best friend?"

Originally this sentence was meant to relieve embarrassment, but as two modern people, they suddenly thought of a sentence: prevent fire, theft, and besties.

Liu Xin felt the atmosphere was weird more and more. She, who was usually quite bold, felt a little uncomfortable at this moment, as if Huang Zhiting's eyes were accurately cast into this room from Dingnan thousands of miles away, watching the two of them.

.

Although Liu Xin knew in her heart that Huang Zhiting's motivation for becoming friends with her was not very simple. She probably wanted the Liu family to be more closely tied to Gao Jingshi. For this reason, she even expressed her hope that Gao Jingshi would accept it in front of her several times.

Concubine, more children, more blessings.

However, Huang Zhiting's thinking was the common thinking of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, while Liu Xin's thinking was the common thinking of modern people. The current situation made her feel guilty about having an affair with her husband behind the back of her best friend.

But for some reason, she felt that there was some kind of alternative stimulation besides this feeling of guilt, especially since Huang Zhiting was not simply trying to win over her, but seemed to make her feel some kind of connivance or even encouragement.

But in the end, her rationality prevailed, and she deliberately kept a straight face: "That's natural. If you have the intention of having a different relationship, I will naturally inform you."

Gao Pingshi couldn't help but laugh: "You said it yourself, there is no shortage of beautiful women in my house. Although I haven't seen what Meng Guzhe looks like, I guess it won't make me fascinated."

Liu Xin turned away and said: "I don't know about that. Some people say that noble women can make men have a desire to conquer. She is a princess after all. Don't you think it is very satisfying to have a princess serve you obediently?

Something?"

Gao Jingshi said: "The Princess in the fifteenth year of Wanli is not the same as the Princess in the Tatar Qing Dynasty. Besides..." At this point, Gao Jingshi suddenly stopped in alarm.

However, his interruption reminded Liu Xin, who couldn't help but said with a hint of sadness: "Oh, yes, the princess of the fifteenth year of Wanli is not noble, but the eldest princess of the fifteenth year of Wanli is still very noble.

Yes, your desire to conquer seems to have been satisfied."

Gao pragmatic opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he could not explain it. It was not that Liu Xin didn't know the relationship between Princess Yongning and him. She also understood the ins and outs of why things developed like this, but since she still used them to talk about things,

Explain...some things don't need to be justified.

Gao Pragmatic looked hopeless and sighed with emotion.

Seeing that he didn't even bother to explain, Liu Xin felt even more unhappy for some reason, and snorted softly: "Are you speechless?" But as soon as the words came out, she immediately realized that there was no reason to say that from her own position, so she said

: "Even if Huang Zhiting wants you to take a concubine, I'm afraid I don't want you to provoke the eldest princess. As for you saying that it was the emperor's intention, I think... maybe you are making excuses for yourself."

Gao pragmatic sighed again, still not knowing what to say, and even couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: Is this really the case? Seeing a wealthy eldest princess throwing herself into his arms like a moth to a flame, I drifted.

Already?

The two were speechless for a moment, and Gao Pingshi suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to go outside for a walk."

Liu Xin said nothing, and Gao Pragmatic said no more. She went downstairs alone and walked to the small pavilion near Shichahai Lake, looking at the snow and blowing the cold wind.

Liu Xin, who was upstairs in the small building, finally couldn't help but glance at him and thought to herself: Isn't it because I said it too harshly? It's such a cold day, what if he gets frostbite?

But she immediately suppressed these thoughts, glared hard at Gao Pragmatic's back, cursed hard but in a low voice: "You scumbag, you deserve to get cold!" Then she raised her head, turned around and went downstairs, and went to herself.

Went to the small courtyard where we lived.
