The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 281 The Neo-Confucian School (seeking a monthly ticket)

The Patriarch of the Li family stood outside the study room, listening to the sound of his father and son reading in the room, and stood waiting with a smile on his face.

My father hates someone to disturb him when he is studying, even if it is himself!
So, he had to wait obediently outside the door!

As the sound of reading in the study stopped, the Patriarch of the Li family reached out and knocked on the door.

Boom!dong dong!

His father's gentle voice came from inside.

"Come in!"

The head of the Li family opened the door and walked in, and then saw his father in a Confucian shirt, with his hair in a bun and fluttering sleeves.

And the son who is wearing a boy's suit and combing his horns.

"The son has seen the father!"

The head of the Li family said very respectfully.

The old man stroked his beard on his chest and said.

"What are you looking for me for?"

The head of the Li family answered.

"The total income of the family this year has been calculated, father please look over it!"

The old man got up, took the documents from his son, and flipped through them.

Although he doesn't care about things anymore, in terms of clan etiquette, he is still the head of the family.

For such an important matter, the old man also needs to have a purpose.

The old man of the Li family took the document and flipped through it.

In the past year, the income of the Li family was not too much. The total income of the Li family in Nuoda was only more than 200 silver dollars.

Of course, it's not that the business is not doing well!

Instead, the Li family invested almost all of last year's income into a sugar cane plantation and a supporting sugar factory.

Just the development of the plantation, the construction of the sugar factory, and the employment of workers cost the Li family a lot of silver dollars.

Moreover, the Li family also plans to expand the size of the sugar factory in the coming year, and use their own fleet to sell the sugar to the entire Nanyang.

And send ships to open up fleets to North Korea and Japan!
The old man of the Li family nodded and said.

"Yes, you are smarter than your father in business!"

"Just close it!"

The head of the Li family nodded.

But as if he suddenly remembered something, he spoke.

"Father, my son heard that His Royal Highness Jianguo is going to gather the world's great Confucianists and famous scholars in Luzon to reform the old Confucianism and create a new Confucianism school."

"And name it the New Confucianism, and replace the old Neo-Confucianism with the New Confucianism, as the world's orthodoxy."

"I have a friend who is an official in the military government. He heard that his father is a master of Confucianism and is proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. He asked me to ask if my father is interested in participating in the creation of a new Confucian school."

The voice of the head of the Li family fell, but the old man couldn't help frowning, and said.

"Bullshit!"

"Confucianism is the most famous learning in the world. The lifelong painstaking efforts of the two saints, Cheng and Zhu, are not even comparable to Mr. Yangming's learning of mind. His Highness Jian Guo is young and frivolous. How dare you speak falsely about reforming Neo-Confucianism?"

Mr. Li received Confucian education since he was a child, and his attitude towards Neo Confucianism is quite obsessed.

Think Neo Confucianism is authentic in the world!

Now hearing that Zhu Hongyu wants to change Neo Confucianism, he will naturally feel dissatisfied.

The head of the Li family said.

"Then son, go and reject your friend!"

"and many more!"

The old man of the Li family suddenly stopped his son, and then spoke.

"No need to refuse, let's go as a father!"

"With a father here, we must not allow those flatterers to play with my Confucian treasure, Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, according to the wishes of His Highness Jian Guo!"

"I, a student of Confucianism, also have a strong character!"

The old man of the Li family straightened his waist and said.

The head of the Li family hurriedly said.

"Yes, listen to father!"

Zhu Hongyu wants to reform and innovate Confucianism, and his purpose is very clear. He wants to change people's thinking from the root.

His Ming Dynasty is about to have a bourgeois revolution, and his thinking is still the old thinking!

Anyway, Confucianism has always been relatively soft, and it can change its shape according to the ruler's wishes, so there is nothing to say.

Change it!

The reason why scholars all over the world pursue Neo-Confucianism is because the imperial examination required Neo-Confucianism, and the standard Four Books and Five Classics in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty can only use "Zhu Zi Ji Zhu" as annotations.

Natural science is of course obvious!
As long as Zhu Hongyu changed the content of the imperial examination from Neo-Confucianism to Neo-Confucianism, it would only take a few minutes for Neo-Confucianism to be abandoned by scholars all over the world.

The reason why Zhu Hongyu chose to change Confucianism was to mix his own private goods into Confucianism instead of using other ideas to replace it.

That's because Confucianism is now the most prominent school in the world, and it almost represents the values ​​of all Chinese people.

He can use the fact that Neo Confucianism has already perished in both worlds as an excuse to start reforming Neo Confucianism!
But after his revision, his learning can only be called New Confucianism, and Confucianism cannot be thrown away!

This is the influence of Confucianism in China for 2000 years!

Even in the later 21st century, the thoughts of the Rabbit family still have some shadow of Confucianism.

At this time, China has never experienced a hundred years of sinking, and has never experienced the humiliation of being invaded by thousands of Western barbarians, burning, killing, looting, and ceding land for compensation!

I am full of confidence in my own culture and system!
Lao Tzu is number one in the world, the kingdom of heaven!
It is impossible for proud Chinese to abandon their own culture and system, and accept Westernization in its entirety.

Just like Europeans want to make reforms in their own ideological field, they can only introduce Protestantism and Catholicism to fight, but cannot directly lift God from the altar.

Zhu Hongyu can only work on Confucianism, reform Confucianism according to his own wishes, and create a new Confucianism school that echoes his own ideas, but cannot overthrow Confucius.

Of course, Confucius is Confucius, and the Confucian family is the Confucian family, after the recovery army made the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and recovered the rivers and mountains.

Zhu Hongyu promised that he would send the whole family of the "Shenggong of the Great Qing Dynasty" Kong's family to meet Confucius underground!

Anyway, he is not going to set up the memorial tablet of the Kong family in the future!
As for the reason, the Kong family has become traitors, so there is no excuse!
……

In the city of Luzon, a private seat on the second floor of a restaurant.

In the private seat by the window sat a handsome middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt.

He stared at the scenery outside the window, deep in the depths of his eyes were full of exhaustion.

However, it was not the exhaustion of the body, but the exhaustion of the heart.

Just sitting there, it gives people a feeling of weathering and vicissitudes.

Standing beside him were several strong and powerful guards, all of whom had sharp eyes and sturdy expressions.

"Sir, I found a newspaper that published news about His Highness Jian Guo's great victories in Tanzhou Town, Guangdong Province, and by the Suixi River in Leizhou Peninsula!"

A guard rushed to the middle-aged man's side and handed a stack of thick newspapers to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the newspaper and began to read it.

Looking at the passionate words in the newspaper, he seemed to have seen the scene of the soldiers of Ming Dynasty fighting on the battlefield and winning the victory.

Looking at the results of battles and seizures recorded in detail in the newspapers.

He had been cold for a long time, and his state of mind that he no longer had any thoughts about anti-Qing and Fuming revived again.
