Ming Zuo

Chapter 429 New World

"Master..."

Zuo Kuan didn't know Zuo Menggeng's plan, but faced with such a situation, he was desperate.

While wailing, Zuo Kuan knelt tremblingly, tears streaming down his face.

"Young master, this old slave is ignorant and doesn't know the great truth. But filial piety is the way of human relations. If the young master disobeys his father, he will be ridiculed by the world and make my Zuofu a laughing stock in the world!!!"

For such an old man, Zuo Menggeng also had a headache.

How to explain it to him?
And he may not be able to understand it after explaining it.

"Uncle Kuan, this is not just about my younger sister's marriage, nor is it as simple as the simple way of filial piety. There is a more important reason behind this, and you don't need to understand it, just go back and tell your father."

He paused, fearing that Zuo Kuan would cause more trouble if he didn't understand in a daze, so he just wanted to see him.

"Uncle Kuan, after you go back, tell your father that I am preparing to rebel here. He is alone and is an official in the court. I am afraid that the court will be unfavorable to him. Therefore, it is better to resign early and go home."

"what……"

Not only Zuo Kuan, but even Huang Shi exclaimed.

Zuo Yan's expression also changed dramatically.

Regarding Zuo Menggeng's actions, he has some feelings about what Zuo Menggeng has done, but he dare not make it clear.Today I finally heard the truth from Zuo Menggeng, but I couldn't accept it for a while.

Both Huang and Zuo Kuan were dumbfounded.

Is it so easy to say about the rebellion?
Why is it the same as playing house?
Huang's family is a woman who doesn't understand anything, and she is so frightened.

"My son, don't dare to rebel, then... that will implicate the nine clans."

Zuo Menggeng chuckled, and comforted him: "Mother, don't worry, the court is no longer a match for the child. This is going to happen tomorrow, and sooner or later he will be overthrown."

Zuo Kuan sat slumped on the ground, only feeling that his crotch was wet.

Since when did the Zuo family become like this?

However, hearing that Zuo Menggeng was preparing to rebel gave him a different understanding of Zuo Menggeng's confrontation with Zuo Liangyu.

An ambitious hero must have such dominance.

And compared to Zuo Menggeng's rebellion, Zuo Xianmei's marriage is really nothing.

Zuo Kuan tried his best to calm down, and said, "Old slave... this old slave will rush back today, and make it clear with Master... Master."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

If the young master wanted to rebel, wouldn't he be the emperor if he became an emperor?

That master... isn't he just too emperor?
At that time, servants and slaves like them should be able to ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs, right?
He also thought of his son Zuo Gui, who is listening to Zuo Menggeng now, will he also be able to become a marquis and minister, and be kind to his wife and son in the future?
But after coming out of the central hall, Zuo Kuan was shocked by the cold wind, and calmed down again, holding Zuo Yan's hand, crying.

"Brother, why don't you persuade the young master? This rebellion... how dare you?"

Zuo Yan didn't wake up from the shock either, but because he knew something, he was still calm.

"Don't even look at it. Hou Ruogu, Liu Niantai, Li Mengan, and so many great figures are here. How could our servants talk too much about what the young master planned?"

Zuo Kuan stomped his feet and sighed, his eyes were pitch black.

"I don't know what the master will think?"

Zuo Yan was also helpless and even more powerless.

The changes in the family are really unfriendly to the old people like them, and they feel a little tired because they can't keep up.

"We can't control that many, masters, we can only follow."

The matter of Zuo Xianmei soon alarmed Hou Xun, Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and others.

"Zhongheng, you are a little impulsive. We have aspirations for the world, and we must not follow the truth. Once your accusation of disobedience and unfilial piety is spread, why will people in the world believe it?"

As a teacher, Liu Zongzhou can speak more straightforwardly.

What he meant was also what everyone meant.

Everyone felt that his actions were a little impulsive.

Today's Ming Dynasty rules the world with filial piety.Filial piety is also the foundation of the world.

An unfilial person is not only unable to move an inch, but also cut himself off from the world.

Zuo Menggeng looked around and sighed at everyone's expressions.

"You guys, you're thinking too little."

"Oh? What's the deep meaning of Zhongheng? Let me wait for the enlightenment, so as not to worry in vain."

After Zhang Zhenxiu came back, he participated in the high-level meeting for the first time, and he is still quickly absorbing everything here, and at the same time, he is most concerned about Zuo Menggeng's every move.

Zuo Menggeng got up and walked, so that his voice was loud and deafening.

"Everyone, what are we going after? Is it just to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty? If that is the case, what is the difference between what we did and what Zhu Yuanzhang did back then? At that time, the situation of everyone and the merchants behind you may change in any way. ? Or, you return to the ranks of feudal scholar-bureaucrats, and then consolidate the feudal order?"

His question was like a sharp knife, piercing everyone's heart.

This is the first time that class issues have been discussed within the camp.For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought, analyzing the deep meaning.

Qu Shixu couldn't help asking, "What does this have to do with filial piety?"

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"Where does the filial piety practiced in the world today come from? Confucian ethics and moral concepts. The father guides the son and the husband guides the wife. From thought to law, a rigorous and harsh system of oppression has been established. But have you ever thought about it? , under such a system of thought, how much harm will it do to our cause?"

Everyone was silent, unable to figure out the key points in a short period of time.

Only Zuo Menggeng can solve the confusion for everyone.

"Under such an ethical and moral system, it is true that various families can be united and strengthened, but similarly, under such an ethical system, combined with the feudal land system, it will cause a great loss of labor. Think about it, a large number of people are Imprisoned within the family and on the land, where can we find enough labor for the industry and commerce we vigorously advocate and promote? If we don’t break this old ideological system and let more people have freedom, where can we get enough labor? Human Resources?"

Zuo Menggeng finally threw away all cover and exposed his true purpose.

What is he going to do?
What he has to do is to completely break all the barriers of the feudal system, so that the development of industry and commerce can gain enough and broad space, and then use more advanced and developed industries and commerce to attack the backward feudal system, so as to complete the revolution of the entire country and nation. Sublime change.

"Everyone, there is far more than one difficulty before us. Even the filial piety that we take for granted is actually a barrier that hinders our development. It depends on whether you have the determination and courage to break through this restriction?"

The high-level executives were unable to get out of the shock for a long time, and suddenly discovered that Zuo Menggeng's seemingly absurd approach actually concealed such terrifying thoughts.

But is it really necessary to do this?
On the contrary, because Huang Zongxi was young and quick thinking, he immediately followed Zuo Menggeng's footsteps.

"That's right. At present, there are female workers everywhere in our various industries. There is no need to doubt their ability and the value they create. But if we follow the old moral system, follow the father at home, obey the husband when married, If the husband dies and obeys the son, the woman cannot go out of the house, and it is impossible to become the labor force we need. At present, because of the great chaos in the world, the people's livelihood has been severely damaged. In order to survive, women have to come out to work. But if the old If the moral system does not change, once the world is stabilized, we will lose these labors again. Everyone, this is unacceptable to us.”

He used ready-made examples to shock everyone present, and suddenly discovered that the situation was so urgent.

Today, many factories here, such as garment factory, Artillery factory, Fuyao Glass, Wharf Hotel, and even the gunpowder factory, have a large number of female workers.

These women workers work hard, and their wages are very low, and the wealth they have created has become the cornerstone of their pursuit of the world.

Why are these female workers able to enter the factory?

Just because the economy of Ming Dynasty is completely bankrupt, countless people cannot eat enough to eat, and they are on the verge of starvation all day long.

Under the pressure of survival, they can no longer care about any kind of morality, which makes them the best labor force.

What Huang Zongxi said is correct, if it is in a period of social stability, they will not be able to get so many labor resources.

These people will definitely be imprisoned in their families and on the land, and there will be no development of industry and commerce here.

It can be said that Zuo Menggeng exposed all the disguises and let the core essence of the problem appear in front of everyone.

What Zuo Menggeng did was not right or wrong in morality or human relations at all, but a naked conflict of interests between old and new forces.

He has already fired the first shot, so what the whole camp has to do next is to attack and break through in all aspects of the old feudal ethics and moral system, so as to lift the feudal system's restriction and oppression on the people, and create a new era for industry and commerce. The development absorbs more and more human resources.

When more and more people are separated from the old family and land, the balance of power between old and new forces can undergo a fundamental change.
