General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 196 Sven sweeps the floor
The water-turned spinning wheel, born in the Southern Song Dynasty, has already fully met the three necessary conditions for a developed machine.

That is, engines, transmission mechanisms, and machine tools.

In the original history, the industrial revolution was initiated by the flying shuttle and completely detonated by the Jenny machine.

But in fact, the eight spindles of the first-generation Jenny machine cannot fully meet the needs of the flying shuttle. The first hydraulic spinning machine to solve the shortage of cotton yarn was born in an accidental encounter between the watchmaker and a sailor who had just returned to the West from the East. in the conversation.

During that conversation, the watchmaker knew that in the east of that vast continent, there was a machine called the water-turning spinning wheel, and then he found the water-turning spinning wheel in the church's "Book of Wang Jianong". drawings.

Tangerines grown in Huainan are tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are trifoliate oranges.

The shrinking purchasing power of money caused by the silver that was not discovered by the great voyages forced social wealth to fully shift to production. It is doomed that even if the steam engine is invented, it will not help.

In Songjiang.

A piece of IOU bearing Xiang Yuanbian's name and surname will make Baiyin in the southeast burst out with an influence several times its own.

This drastic change at the productivity level started before the cock crowing conference in Nanjing.
-
There are no allusions or anecdotes about the origin of Jiming Temple, only because it is adjacent to Beiji Pavilion, which was called Jilong Mountain in ancient times. When Zhu Yuanzhang selected the site for Guozijian, he chose this place. He thought Jilong Mountain was not pleasant, so he changed its name to Jiming Mountain. The Cage Temple then became the Jiming Temple.

Since the news of the Chicken Crowing Conference spread.

The supervising students of the Imperial College, the students from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and scholars, didn't even bother to read books, and rushed to this grand event in confusion.

Jiming Mountain was originally the place where Qintian Monitor painted the latitude and longitude during the Hongwu Dynasty. Right now, even the giant trees in the mountain are full of scholars from all over the place.

The temple had already been decorated with lanterns and festoons. In order not to affect Yang Shen and Nie Bao's discussion, Zhu Zaishun did not appear in the venue directly, but found a place on the Sutra Pavilion not far away where he could hear everyone's speech clearly. A position that does not directly show up with the public.

Different from the loud gongs and drums outside the temple, the air inside the temple is frighteningly cold.

More than three hundred Confucian scholars sat in the temple, forming two schools with clear distinctions.

On the side of Neo Confucianism, it is naturally Yang Shen, while on the side of Xinxue, it is naturally Nie Bao.

Zhu Zaizhen specially arranged for Zhang Juzheng and Ning Jue to sit downstairs, and between Ning Jue and Zhang Juzheng was the great monk Zhikong, the abbot of Jiming Temple.

The great monk Zhikong didn't seem to be aware of the weird atmosphere in the temple at all, he just read the manuscript that Mai Fu gave him in an orderly manner while pinching his rosary.

"...the meeting will be held at the treasure temple of the cock crowing Shanyang, where all the sages will arrive, and the young and old will gather..."

Listening to the great monk's speech, Ning Jue yawned involuntarily.

Clarified the purpose of "will return to one".

Only then did the great monk look at Yang Shen.

"Mr. Sheng'an, Mr. Shuangjiang, who will speak first?"

Yang Shen turned to the great monk and Nie Bao each.

"Mr. Shuangjiang, please go first. It was the same in the past when Duke Huiwen was in charge."

Nie Bao's old face darkened.

When Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan were discussing Taoism, it was the Lu family brothers who prepared a poem in advance to smear Zhu Xi.

Lu Jiuyuan was able to deceive Zhu Xi in his poems, but if Nie Bao talked about poems in front of Yang Shen, it was tantamount to saying that he was humiliating himself.

As soon as Yang Shen finished speaking, the Neo Confucianists looked at Nie Bao in unison, as if they were waiting for Nie Bao to make a fool of himself.

"In front of Mr. Sheng'an, Nie dare not fight with an axe."

Nie Bao directly admitted defeat, but Nie Bao's voice changed, and he said directly: "Since we will inherit the E Lake at this meeting, then we might as well show our own shame, and directly inherit the unfinished ways of the sages."

"In the old days, the meeting at the E Lake ended in Yao and Shun. During the time of Yao and Shun, people who did not read the Four Books and the Five Classics were also sages. It can be seen that the Tao is in the heart. To discover the original mind is to seek the Tao."

"Duke Huiwen left the meeting angrily when he heard this. I don't know if Mr. Sheng'an has any new knowledge?"

Since the Goose Lake meeting, this point has always been a major way for the mind to be stunned by Neo Confucianism.

Neo-Confucianism pays attention to studying things to gain knowledge, and you must learn the truth from books.

Yao, Shunyu didn't read the book either, unless you prove that Yao, Shunyu read the Analects, otherwise the Tao is in the heart.

In short, Nie Bao wants to go big directly.

The ball was passed to Yang Shen's feet, but Yang Shen had no intention of catching it.

Just before the silence, a voice sounded quietly.

"Everything comes from the heart, so as to achieve conscience, presumably when Mr. Nie ruled Pingyang, it must be Wufu Minfeng, Haiyan Heqing, right?"

Hearing this, Nie Bao's old face immediately turned red, and he took the case by himself.

"Such a grand event, how can you allow you to talk about it!"

Yang Shen looked at Nie Bao in astonishment, and asked Du Luan who was behind him in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Shuangjiang losing his composure?"

"Sheng'an doesn't know something. The reason why Mr. Shuangjiang is at home right now is that he was found out and impeached because of his corruption in Pingyang when he was in office..."

Only then did Yang Shen suddenly realize.

"Why is he so arrogant as a corrupt official?"

Yang Shen's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it happened to slip into Nie Bao's ears without saying a single word.

Looking at the scholar who kept copying not far away.

Nie Bao's old face turned greener.

Ning Jue's opening disturbed the order of the meeting place, and the young students who were originally behind Nie Bao were already ready to move.

"Ning Kezhong, the imperial court is so important, who can avoid the vulgarity? Mr. Shuangjiang is an official and the parents of the people in the family. Is it the fault of Mr. alone?"

"Fushan, why did you confess your crime for the old man?! The old man didn't even admit it in the prison!"

Ning Jue took a closer look, only to realize that the person sitting next to Nie Bao was none other than He Xinyin.

"Mr. He?"

He Xinyin couldn't care less, stood up and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Shuangjiang's fault is not with Mr. Shuangjiang, it's the princes of the temple, who obviously didn't give Qingliu a way to survive!"

Nie Bao firmly tugged at the corner of He Xinyin's clothes.

It's just that He Xinyin couldn't care less.

Compared with Nie Bao, he wants to carry forward his ideas more, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Then in Mr. He's opinion, the imperial court should take the medicine according to the prescription, and use your friend to discuss the education system, so that the Holy Son of Heaven can rule the world?" Ning Jue's words were tit for tat, but He Xinyin's emotions became more and more excited.

He and his master have been waiting for this day for more than a year and a half.

"Yes! The Dao is brilliant, and the country is governed by the false way. How can the country prosper! If the country is governed by the righteous way, even if the court is full of mediocrity, so what? The way of the sages is here, and the affairs of the state cannot be broken!"

"Then Mr. He has already realized such a great way, so Mr. He must have many friends?"

He Xinyin's eyes widened.

Staring fixedly at Ning Jue, after a long time, he couldn't hold back a single word.

"It was He who lost."

These few words back and forth completely made Zhang Juzheng look stupid.

"Brother Ning, how do you know that He Xinyin has no friends?"

"Nonsense, can he have friends with this temper?"

Quite a few people were writing vigorously with their pens in their hands, but it was Yang Shen and his group who became the melon eaters.

Nie Bao's face was livid.

It was originally an inconspicuous "small case" of ink corruption!Do you have to bring it up on this occasion to be infamous for thousands of years? !

"Ning Kezhong! That's enough! What we are discussing is that you, Ning Kezhong, burned the holy books in the street, trampled on the shrine, and insulted the gentlemen!"

"Yeah! What if I burn it?! What do you want?!"

Ning Jue subconsciously pulled out the Chaohu from his lower back.

"Burning well! Let such hypocritical people usurp the sage's books, it's better to just burn it like this!"

Nie Bao turned his head completely red-eyed, stared at Yang Shen angrily and said, "Yang Yongxiu! Why don't you say a word when you come to this meeting?"

Yang Shen stood up and overturned the desk in front of him.

"The ones pictured are naturally your hypocrites who have milk and are mothers!"

As soon as Yang Shen said this, the disciple of Xinxue sitting behind Nie Bao couldn't sit still.

"Your surname is Yang, do you still have the slightest sense of propriety, righteousness and shame? I'll wait until Mr. Yang gives you some face, so don't be ashamed!"

Yang Shen looked angrily at the people in front of him.

"Do you still have the face to mention my father? A group of people who have taken advantage of the emperor's youth and usurped the power of the prime minister, do they have the face to talk about etiquette and shame with Yang?!"

Yang Shen didn't finish speaking.

A plate of sunspots was thrown on Yang Shen's body.

"Your surname Yang has the face to say that anyone else who has milk is a mother? How did you come to Nanjing from Yongchang?"

"You, Yang Yongxiu, want nothing more than to be a dog of the imperial court, to live and die!"

The chess pieces splashed from Yang Shen's body hit Zhang Juzheng's black hat.

Zhang Juzheng said with a look of astonishment: "Brother Ning, this, is this going to fight?"

Ning Jue looked around with the Chaohu in his hand.

"Uncle, who the fuck am I going to hit?!"

Before Ning Jue finished speaking, he felt that his hands were empty.

Seeing that Yang Shen had already snatched the Chaohu, he pointed at Nie Bao angrily and said loudly: "If Yang was a living person, he would not have gone to Zuoshunmen back then!"

"Taking Kongsuo as a consistent, if you let you wait for the general trend of the world, the country will perish!"

Nie Bao, who was ashamed and angry, couldn't hold back when Yang Shen pointed at him like this.

"The surname is Yang! Don't you think that this old man is afraid of death? Officials of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of death at this age!"

"This old man also ate the emperor's court stick!"

There were still many scholars climbing on the trees outside Jiming Temple, Yang Shen only glanced at these scholars, and then no longer restrained himself.

Chao Hu, who was carrying Ning Jue, started fighting with Nie Bao.

Just when Ning Jue wanted to step forward to help and Zhang Juzheng wanted to step forward to fight.

The great monk Zhikong who was sitting between the two grabbed the two of them. It wasn't until this time that Ning Jue realized that the great monk had amazing strength.

But it pulled the two of them closer to the meditation room not far behind.

Then he locked the door of the meditation room as if by magic.

The disheveled Yang Shen who was beaten by Nie Bao had a wry smile on his lips.

"30 years ago, I let you avoid this battle, and today I will have a good fight with you!"

Ning Jue and Zhang Juzheng didn't realize it until they heard Yang Shen's words.

Yang Shen ran thousands of miles just to fight this battle!
On the pavilion not far away.

Mai Fu was thinking about Yang Shen's last instruction to Daming.

"...Warning Southwest Fan for 26 years, I deeply feel that Taoism is useless, and Hui Wengong's circuitousness is harmful to the people. The mind has always been empty, and it is useless, and it is not beneficial to the country. Both Neo Confucianism and mind I am old, my ministers are not talented, and I have spent my whole life studying, but I can't hear the truth day and night..."

From now on, what Yang Shen wants is that all the great Confucian scholars in the study of mind and Neo-Confucianism are all gentle and dishonest.

Let the juniors all over the world see it clearly.

Psychology and Neo-Confucianism are not enough.

During the 26 years of guarding the border, Yang Shen has seen too many people and things. This son who grew up in the capital has witnessed the family from prosperity to ruin.

I also saw countless ignorant and ignorant border residents being coerced by the Southwest chieftain to make trouble.

Subjective idealism cannot save Daming.

Objectivity and idealism cannot save Daming.

Daming, it's time to look forward.
