Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1097 Industrial Revolution ([-])

As for why Quan Zheshen pretended to be Zhao at this time, and why he caught up with this shipwreck, it starts from Liu Yu's attack on Japan, renting Busan, opening the port of Incheon, all the way to the wretched and shameless "Emperor Ming Dynasty" Speaking of the Korean language prison incident caused by "Tongji".

Although phenomena such as the outflow of rice and the disintegration of traditional society did not appear on the first day.

After Dashun's invasion of Japan, it actually appeared and continued to impact the old system of North Korea.

But the opening of Incheon a few years ago was different after all.

The opening of Busan before...had an impact, but the impact on the Joseon court and the clan was not very huge, and the impact was not so immediate.

The losers in the political struggle and the marginalized people in the court are the ones who live in the south.

There was trade with Japan before, and there was a certain commercial foundation.

It is easy to turn to industrial and commercial trade, but the object of business in Busan has changed from Japan to Dashun; the trade volume is constantly increasing, and the impact of boiling frogs in warm water is not so immediate.

But after the opening of Incheon as a result of the killing of ginseng at the border, the problem was really immediate.

Incheon is too close to Seoul, within the scope of North Korea's "Gyeonggi" circle, it is the base camp of conservative scholar-bureaucrats.

The impact of port opening directly led to the disintegration of the old rural economy in the surrounding areas of Seoul, land mergers, exorbitant taxes, destruction of the old land system, and various problems for the people.

A large number of intellectuals, two groups of nobles, and scholar-bureaucrats who were excluded by the elites who could not enter the core, witnessed the destruction of the old era with their own eyes, and began to think about various problems of Zhu Zixue.

Li Xuan and Li Xinghu, after the slow influence caused by Dashun’s lease and occupation of Busan, began to reflect and founded the School of Practical Learning.

In addition to these economic foundations, there is a more intuitive factor.

North Korea is not the mother country of culture. Chinese traditions are self-evolving and self-developing. The secondary civilization of North Korea can only follow the mother country of culture and inherit part of the mother country of culture.

Its social structure also made it impossible for new trends of thought to emerge, even including the basis for reflection on Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

Therefore, if you hear and see the lonely, only Song Xueer knows it, and if there are few different actions, it is regarded as a big change in the world.

In this case, with the opening of Incheon, the economic impact continued, and the books that had the greatest and most intuitive impact on the scholar-official class were precisely the books other than Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

The economic impact has to be considered by yourself.

How can the literate class directly read books and have a quick influence?

It is not just the reflection and debate of various schools of thought on these academic things.

Including novels, miscellaneous notes, short essays, satirical short stories... even things like Jin Ping Mei in the market, Dengcao monk and so on.

The novels before North Korea were all noble novels, and those who could read had to be two classes of nobles.

The purpose of writing novels is to "convey the Tao through literature, encourage the good and punish the evil", advocating such things as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles, ethics and morality.

But would the new group of people, or scholars who are not satisfied with their official careers, look at this crap?

The commodity economy developed along with Dashun's economic aggression, and the old era collapsed. Under the new economic foundation, are people willing to read novels based on the past?
Who are the writers of novels in North Korea?

For example, when Liu Yu, the author of "A Dream of Yulin", was still fighting the Raksha people in Heilongjiang, he was the number one scholar in North Korea.

Who are the writers of Dashun's novels?Not to mention that even if you write a novel, you have to use a pseudonym and can't afford to lose that person. Which champion will write this thing?

One is the aristocratic circle's "Writing to convey the truth, encouraging the good and punishing the evil".

The other is market culture, which favors industrial and commercial citizens.

One is aristocratic priest fan.

One is the custom of the market.

As a result, a large number of Chinese market novels flowed into North Korea like flying.

After reading it, you must learn the style of Dashun's market novels and short notes.

I have learned a lot about irony, so that there are short satirical stories in North Korea, such as tigers saying that Confucian scholars don't bother to eat, and scholar-officials are overwhelmed when they see widows.

Then Dashun's Confucian thought trend of reflection and reform was also introduced into North Korea, which directly challenged the orthodox position of Zhu Zixue.

And then...and then no more.

After the incident about who Li Chenggui's father was in "Huangming Tongji", the North Korean side not only banned the book "Huangming Tongji", but directly passed on the novels from Dashun, Sketches, miscellaneous notes, debates and the like are all banned.

Taking advantage of this mosquito prison, the "Style Reversal" campaign was also launched, and books such as "Zhu Zi's Selected Testaments", "Tongjian Compendium Lecture Notes", "Ming Taizu Liuyu Commentary" and other books were published and compiled, and these books were taken as righteousness.

Correspondingly, Confucian scholars in North Korea were strictly controlled when they went to sea and went to Dashun.

Go there privately, who knows what you'll learn.The envoys who are honest in history, the absolute Korean court's own people, the roots are upright and Miao Confucianism, went to the capital, and directly converted to Catholicism when they came back...

Reflecting on Zhu Zixue is actually not a good thing for Dashun, especially for the vassal system.

At least in the Confucian cultural circle, Zhu Zixue is generally applicable in the scope of this "world" by virtue of its moralism and semi-religious nature. It is a religious knowledge that makes people lose themselves.

And knowledge such as Ye Shi and Chen Liang will lead to the awakening of the nation and even the disintegration of the world system.

Even began to think about "who am I".

But Dashun has come this far.

Li Xinghu and others also felt that there was a problem in North Korea. Zhu Zi's Neo-Confucianism and Sexual Neo-Confucianism are empty talk and nonsense, and cannot solve practical problems.

Especially the low-level people in North Korea, suffering from the dual oppression of their own feudal aristocracy and Dashun imperialism, are really close to the stage where the people are struggling to make ends meet.

In this case, it would be strange if no insightful people came forward.Coupled with the fierce party struggle in North Korea, a group of scholars did not have the opportunity to become officials, which accelerated the speed of reflection.

The small country is not big, and its economic foundation is not as diverse as Dashun—not to mention that Dashun is so big, the difference between the northwest, northeast, and southeast, and the south and north of Jiangsu alone have completely different foundations—what should we do in this situation? ?
Obviously, seek answers from the cultural mother country.

Before the literary prison of "Huangming Tongji", Li Xinghu had already seen various books written by Dashun over the years, and found that the set of things he was thinking about had already been thought about by someone from Dashun.

So, what is Dashun like?

Does Dashun have any problems facing North Korea, especially the violent disintegration of the old era?

If so, how did you survive?

In the original history, with the introduction of Catholic books such as "Seven Grams", some people of the Xinghu School tried to find answers from Christianity.

Now, Dashun itself is forbidden to teach, and it is strictly forbidden-some market novels are also banned, especially the kind full of words such as um, ah, and random pokes, but these are all open-minded. Closing one's eyes and turning a blind eye is definitely not the same concept as holding a Catholic book in your hand.

Prohibition and prohibition are different.

More importantly, because of the appearance of Liu Yu, Dashun successfully completed the separation of "Western learning" and "practical learning".

Catholic missionaries no longer monopolize science and mathematics. Dashun's separation of "practical learning" and "western learning" because of Liu Yu's appearance is perfect.

However, North Korea did not make this perfect cut.

In other words, there is no way to perfectly cut the foundation of its founding and the "event week" doctrine that must be implemented.

The simplest point is that the introduction of astronomy to North Korea directly led many people to know that the earth is round, that the earth is not the center of the world, and that there is even a broader concept of the universe.

The disintegration of Zhu Zixue's entire ethical system and the general system, as well as the thinking about the positioning of the Korean state itself caused by astronomy, each of which is a disaster.

Li Xinghu's disciples almost split into two factions quickly.

His eldest disciple, An Dingfu, a key figure in the Xinghu School split into left and right factions, has said in history [my party boy, those who pride themselves on their talents on weekdays, mostly return to new learning.It is said that the way is right, but follow it.However, the tricks of party discussions...]

That is to say, the young school of the Xinghu School opposed Zhu Zi's Confucianism in an all-round way, and accepted new learning and practical learning.

An Dingfu warned Quan Zheshen, young people, don't be too arrogant, if you do this, you will kill the whole school.

The faction is so serious, when the time comes, political opponents will say that our entire Xinghu School is heresy.We are about to be attacked by political opponents in the party struggle, and we may suffer disaster.I can't stand by like this.

Quan Zhe, like the young and strong school, thinks that if he is not aggressive, he is still a young man?Like you, lethargic, all kinds of compromises, so that things don't look like east, and west don't look like west?
Now the country is on the brink of destruction, if you don't be more aggressive, it will be completely ruined.

This also led to the split of the Xinghu School in history, because the party struggle was too fierce, and if the whole school was not to be affected, it had to be cut, kicked out the young school, and even helped political opponents figure out the party.

Political opponents of the Practical School even directly warned An Dingfu: Quan Zhe is a smart person, and seven or eight out of ten such smart people in the whole country have been bewitched by heresies, and they have all started to engage in practical studies and turned their backs on Zhu Zixue. A sign of the upcoming White Lotus and Yellow Turban Rebellion!
Once this big hat is buckled, who can bear it?Smart people are going to be heretics, what is this for?

But in the history at this time, with the "Huangming Tongji" literary inquisition incident and the "Style Reversal" movement triggered, the Xinghu School made an early decision.

Li Xuan himself made a sober judgment after studying the books handed down from Dashun.

The essence of Dashun’s ability to engage in practical learning is that at the beginning of the founding of the country, in view of the lessons of the previous dynasty, the imperial examination civil servants were balanced by nobles and good families, and a set of practical learning system in Wude Palace was created, including geometry, astronomy, etc. This is all based.

Dashun has no real party struggles, because they are all the emperor's pawns.

Practical learning was not developed by Confucianism itself, so there is no problem of factionalism among schools.

This problem, in the essence of Dashun, is a struggle between imperial power and scholar-officials and civil officials.

This is not partisanship.

But North Korea is different. North Korea cannot form a military group attached to the imperial power like Dashun, so it can only appear in the form of party struggle.

So, can North Korea fully learn from Dashun?

Nonsense, of course not.

The surrounding area of ​​Dashun is full of potential enemies. Rakshasa, Junggar, Myanmar, Snow Mountain, Western Regions, Japan, and Southeast Asia can naturally maintain a meaningful military officer corps as the foundation of imperial power.

However, what is North Korea trying to do with a professional military honor group?Are you going to cross the Yalu River, or are you going to recover Busan Port?
self defense?After Qianqiu usurped the dynasty and proclaimed himself a vassal, what threats are there around?The warships of Westerners can't even pass Malacca. If you engage in military honors, aren't you planning to "shock the emperor?"

If this kind of military aristocratic checks and balances and strengthening of royal power are really implemented, the suzerain country will immediately support the scholar-bureaucrats and replace them with others to become the king of Joseon.

Then, North Korea, which has a complete civil service system, has fallen into a strange circle.

If we don’t engage in practical studies, North Korea will definitely end, and a full-scale peasant uprising is only a matter of time.

Engage in practical learning, inevitable party struggle.

Party struggle, radicals are bound to be destroyed.

Therefore, the Xinghu School must figure out the party itself and throw out all the radicals in the school.

However, both Li Xuan and An Dingfu knew that the radicals were the last hope.

Therefore, Li Chen suggested that the radical disciples should go to Dashun to find answers to Confucianism.

To see how the real Dashun solves all these problems; to learn the real practical knowledge; to use the ready-made Confucian reformist knowledge in Dashun to find your own way to save the country.

The moderate faction and the muddy faction in the school stick to their homeland, use party struggle against party struggle, don't let the old party be wiped out, and maintain the power in the court.

And the radical young faction, go out and leave this place of right and wrong, because the next party struggle is coming, this is almost the consensus of the DPRK and China.

And because of the "Huangming Tongji" literary inquisition incident, the Joseon Dynasty was extremely vigilant about going outside to see this matter, and it was impossible to follow the normal route.

Therefore, Quan Zheshen and other young men of the Xinghu School can only use the method of smuggling—generally speaking, they are employees of the Dashun Commercial House in Incheon, Busan and other places. If they die of illness, they will replace their identities and take a cargo ship. Dashun.

This is a specialized industry chain.

Some Dashun smugglers engaged in this business directly bought their lives with money, deliberately killed some people, and sold their identities for money, which can be regarded as dead souls with Dashun characteristics.

Those who can afford to spend money to benefit the Dashun must at least be scholar-bureaucrats, and they can still afford the money, and if there is business, there will be murder.It's not that the bottom layer didn't run away, but they were all slaves, went to plantations, or spontaneously crossed the river to plant rice and soybeans in the northeast.

As for why it wants to change so smoothly, it is because Dashun is the mother country of culture.

The spontaneous change of the cultural mother country, as a vassal, naturally some people of insight will choose to learn without delay.This is not the same as the Western invasion, at least for North Korea, it is very different.

In this way, Quan Zhe took the black ship, and then something happened, and he came to this passenger ship under the identity of his surname Zhao.

His first goal was not to visit the transformed Songjiang Mansion.

Instead, go to Huainan.

Because the Real School of Dashun, the remnants of the Taizhou School, and the southern disciples of the Yan Li School, etc., jointly bought a large piece of land in Huainan during the reform of the salt administration.

I hope to rely on the township contract, school, morality, ethics, fasting education, enlightenment, and love to try a road of retro three generations that is completely different from Liu Yu's reform.

For Li Xuan, that is his own people, and that is the most worthwhile place to visit.
