People in the Republic of China start by building a top power

Chapter 536

Gao Lin happily agreed.

At this time, when Su Yun held hands again, the sudden shyness on her face disappeared, but she behaved a lot more generously.

Talking and laughing, the two left the crowd first.

Afterwards, countless people on the shore also left.

When they left, there were many scholars and Taoist disciples with sighs on their faces.

What they saw and heard on the shore today had a huge impact on some of their original ideas.

But during the day, everyone was discussing Taoism on the lake, and these younger generations could not rush to make a noise. At this time, everyone had left, and many literati and Taoist priests called friends and comrades, arguing with each other about some of the insights gained during the day.

Chapter 586: Industry Division

On the shore of the West Lake, after the first day of the Confucianism and Taoism exchange meeting, many scholars and Taoist disciples who came to listen here gathered together to exchange their achievements today.

Many scholars even made appointments with Daoist disciples on a temporary basis.

There are also Taoist disciples who took the initiative to find some scholars.

Some of the remarks of the two seniors today can be said to have subverted their respective three views. Now that the conference has dispersed, many people of course want to find some of the other’s children and discuss it in private.

Therefore, on the banks of the West Lake in the evening, many literati and Taoist priests can be seen communicating with each other at any time.

Many even blushed over some opinions.

On a bluestone slab near the lake, five or six people sat there.

Among them were Daoist disciples and scholars.

These people had never met before, but they gathered together because of today’s exchange conference.

At this time, these people ignored the cold wind in the evening and were sitting around the bluestone slab, arguing about something they heard today.

And judging by their words and deeds,Of course there is a heated discussion.

A Taoist disciple said loudly: “You Confucianists keep saying that they are not of our race, their hearts must be different, and there is no room for foreign enemies. Why is it not tyrannical?”

Hearing this, an old Confucian scholar disregarded his image and retorted with a blushing face: “At present, the sea is restless, and the enemy bandits are eyeing them, so we should use violence to control violence!

Wouldn’t it be absurd if it was just like what your Taoist said, but it was letting the tiger go back to the mountain? ”

…

Arguments like this spread all along the coast of the West Lake and all over the city of Hangzhou.

It can be said that today’s Confucianism and Taoism exchange meeting has truly set off a storm between the literary world and the children of Taoism. Starting from tonight, the entire Confucian and Taoist rivalry will spread from top to bottom, and it will last for a long time. will not settle.

And this kind of turbulence is exactly what new ideas must experience.

These ordinary disciples do not know that their seemingly peaceful or intense exchanges are the expression of the convergence of ideas and the cradle of new ideas.

While these literary circles and Daoist children communicated, reporters from newspapers from all over the world would naturally not be idle.

They recorded the situation of the day one after another, and in the evening, they organized it into a document and organized it into a file, and only after returning to the newspaper office, they began to report on the West Lake event!

Some local newspaper reporters in Hangzhou even brought the news back to their own newspapers that evening.

The editors-in-chief of these newspapers worked overnight to publish the grand occasion of today’s Confucian and Taoist exchanges in the newspapers, so that they could be reported the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, newspapers of all sizes in the city of Hangzhou published their newspapers one after another.

In the streets, many newsboys brought this news to the public.

“Selling newspapers and selling newspapers! On the first day of the West Lake Conference yesterday, more than fifty representatives of Confucianism and Taoism gathered in the center of West Lake to have a heated debate based on the ideas of the two~々!”

“Sell newspapers and sell newspapers! On the day of the West Lake event, hundreds of thousands of people gathered on both sides of the West Lake to visit and discuss the Taoism, and the flags were displayed on the spot. It is an unprecedented event!”

“Selling newspapers and selling newspapers! Above the West Lake Poetry Society, Confucianism and Taoism will exchange ideas on governing the country and foreign countries for one day, and new ideas may be born!”

…

Under the propaganda of local newspapers in Hangzhou, the event on the West Lake side naturally spread to the ears of more people.

On the second day, Shao Wen, Daoist Fuqing and other Confucian and Taoists continued to discuss Taoism and thoughts in the center of West Lake, and the number of people who came on this day was much more than that on the first day!

In the next few days, the Confucianism and Taoism Exchange Conference was still going on, and more and more people came to visit the conference.

Under this influence, an independent small market gradually formed near the West Lake.

All kinds of people who buy candy, people who buy candied haws, and hawkers of many snacks such as maltose are all carrying the burden of selling goods.

Of course, the hawkers are doing business in the outer area, or on the further streets, so as not to disturb the exchange meeting there.

In this grand and lively atmosphere, on the West Lake, the exchanges between Confucianism and Taoism have never stopped.

For five consecutive days, many literati and Taoist disciples will come here every day to listen and look forward to receiving the teachings of everyone in Wen and Taoism.

In order to better listen to the teachings of Confucianism and Taoism, countless literary scholars and Taoist children will come here before dawn, and come to seize the position closer to the center of the lake.

After all, for them, half of the words of Shao Wen, Daoist Master Fuqing, can really be regarded as better than ten years of reading.

And under this kind of attention, the West Lake Conference quickly reached its sixth day.

Today is the twenty-fifth of January.

Like the previous days, before dawn in the morning, countless people came by the lake, waiting for the start of the exchange conference.

At seven or eight o’clock in the morning, Shao Wen and Daoist Fuqing also came by boat from a distance with a group of representatives of Confucianism and Taoism.

The weather today is not as friendly as it was a few days ago.

At this time, the cold air in the morning has not faded away, and a clear layer of hoarfrost has condensed on the grass and trees by the lake. The temperature on the shore and in the lake is still relatively cold.

But from the shore, the representatives of Confucianism and Taoism did not seem to be affected in any way.

A group of literati representatives were still led by Eguanbo, sitting quietly on the boat.

The more than 20 people on the Taoist side also came towards the wind, their robes and sleeves fluttering, their beards and hair fluttering, and they were even more immortal.

After the two representatives gathered on the platform in the center of the lake, the Taoists bowed their heads and saluted, and the Confucians bowed and returned the salute, and the representatives of the two factions sat opposite each other as they did a few days ago.

The theme of today’s exchange, the representatives of the two sides had already decided in advance yesterday evening.

At the beginning of the conference, Shao Wen first spoke: “‘”Dear priests, today’s conference, we are still continuing the discussion of yesterday evening, so I will take the lead in speaking.”

“Sir bluntly.”

Daoist Fuqing responded.

Shao Wen is straight to the point: “Yesterday we talked about the reasons for the rise and fall of the country, but we didn’t say much.

If according to my Confucian teachings, but if you want the country to be strong and the people rich, and material resources to prosper, then you should set rules for all walks of life, so that there are rules for the top and bottom, and the honor and the inferior are ordered.

(Have you Zhao)

Only in this way can the power of the people be tapped, so that people from all walks of life can work with peace of mind and do not have unreasonable ideas.

If so, why should the country be unhappy! ”

Yes, the two issues yesterday were exactly how to make the country strong.

But when we discussed this topic yesterday, it was too late, so it was just a beginning, and today, the two families will continue to discuss this issue.

On this issue, Confucianism represented by Shao Wen believes that if the country is to be prosperous and the people strong, the positions of practitioners from all walks of life in society must be sorted out.

To put it simply, it is to divide the scholars, peasants, industry and commerce into three, six, nine, and so on.

Only in this way can the society focus on certain important areas that can develop national strength, to put it bluntly.

Encourage the common people to engage in areas that can develop national strength, and suppress some areas that cannot develop national strength.

as encouragedThe common people entered the factories to work, encouraged the common people to open up wasteland and cultivated fields, and despised not doing production, such as artists and so on.

Chapter 587: Shi Nong Industry and Commerce

To illustrate this point, Shao Wen then gave another example.

“What I just said is true.

For example, in the pre-Qin era, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin was originally a small country. ”

“After the five hegemons fought for the hegemony, although Duke Mu of Qin was one of the hegemons, the Qin Dynasty seemed to rise, but it was only a flash in the pan.

Later, when the seven kingdoms fought for the front, at the beginning, Qin was the weakest, even inferior to Handi. At this time, Qin was in the west, and the land was narrow and the people were desolate. ”

Discussing his own point of view, Shao Wen cites the example of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period as soon as he came up.

When Qin State first established a feudal state, it was only a small country with few people and insufficient military strength. Even if Duke Mu of Qin reigned for a while during the Spring and Autumn Period, this brilliance did not last long.

At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Qin State was almost the weakest among the Seven Kingdoms, and even the weakest Han State, Qin State was incomparable.

In addition, at that time, the Qin state was in a bad area, the land was barren, and the people’s lives were relatively embarrassing. How could such a country be called a big country?

Daoist Fuqing and others listened to Shao Wen’s narration and nodded again and again.

As Shao Wen said, the situation of the Qin state at that time was actually not good. In the situation of the seven kingdoms competing for the hegemony, the Qin state can be described as a hell-like start.

But everyone knows that Shao 147’s words are only half of what he said.

Therefore, Daoist Fuqing and others did not interrupt him, but waited for the following.

Seeing that everyone was still listening, Shao Wen continued: “According to my ignorant opinion, the weak Qin in the past was the reason why later generations became the lord of the seven kingdoms, and finally dominated the sea and swept the eight wastelands. When Duke Mu of Qin opened up the territory, it is true that Great credit.

This is the beginning of the rise of the weak Qin.

But this can only be described as a symptom. If we investigate the cause and effect, the Qin system can be called the essence! ”

When Shao Wen said this, the light in his eyes flashed slightly, and his tone became a little more intense.

“The reason why Weak Qin was able to rise and eventually swept across the six countries and swept the world was because of its superior system.

And its superior system began in the time of Zhuang Xiang. At that time, Qin was poor and farming was not booming. At this time, Shang Jun and Zhuang Xiang resolutely changed the law and established the status of scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, so that the four were superior and inferior. sequence.

Before the reform, people in the Qin realm were keen on merchants and did not promote farming. After the reform, agriculture was higher than business, and those in high positions in the country rewarded cultivation and supported the subordinates to open up wasteland for cultivation.

Since then, the people of Qin Dynasty have abandoned business and become farmers.

Only in this way can agriculture flourish in the Qin territory, and the country’s money and grain will be increasingly abundant.
