The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 374 Confucianism and Taoism Fight

The spring of Hongwu's 30th year.

The China Heavy Industry Workers' Children School opened, and the number of new students aged seven or eight reached nearly 600, divided into [-] classes.

The new teaching building has been put into use.

Unlike later generations, the current school recruits students in the spring, not in the summer.

Fortunately, the school made preparations last year and exhausted all means, so as many as 27 graduates stayed in school.

This batch of graduates became the school's primary teachers, who specially led the first grade class and assisted the teachers in teaching.

First-year enrollment for middle school students begins.

This is the first batch of middle school students enrolled under the full-time seven-year school system, with a total of more than 320 students.

Class One, Grade One Middle School, Mr. Class Supervisor is a 37-year-old middle-aged man who was invited from Shandong when the school was established.

This person is quite insightful in mathematics, has research on ancient mathematics, and occasionally published his results in technical newspapers.

At the Daming Science and Technology Association before the end of the year, I didn't get the mathematics award, and I was unhappy throughout the year.

Since he was having a bad time, Mr. Supervisor became angry and buried himself in writing in his office.

"The Yellow Emperor has been in power for 19 years, and his decrees have been passed throughout the country; he heard that Guangchengzi lived on Kongtong Mountain, so he went there to meet him."

"Huang Di said: "I heard that you have studied the ultimate way deeply.May I ask what is the essence of the ultimate Tao?I want to take the essence of heaven and earth to help the growth of five grains and improve the nutrition of the people.I also want to control the movement of yin and yang to ensure the safety of all living beings.what should i do ""

"Guang Chengzi replied: "What you are asking is the quality of the material basis of things; and what you want to control can only be the remnants of these things, which have been destroyed by your previous interference.According to your governance of the world, before the clouds gather together, it will rain; before the grass and trees turn yellow, their leaves will fall; "

"The emperor said..."

"Guangchengzi said: "You have the shallow mind of a eloquent speaker, and you are not worthy of me talking to you about the truth. ""

After Mr. Supervisor finished writing, he read it carefully several times, and the more he read it, the more satisfied he became.

At noon, I went to the new post office not far from the school during my lunch break, bought stamps and envelopes, wrapped them, wrote the name and address of the newspaper, and my name and contact address, and finally put them into the short-distance mailbox in the city.

Day three.

The Society received dozens of letters from the postman, and the concierge delivered them to the editors' offices.

The letters were spread out on the desk, and the editors finished their work one after another, and came over to see if there were any contributors they knew well.

When the editors finished collecting the letters from the contributors who had cooperated with the newspaper for a long time, only a small half of the letters were left on the table.

The editor-in-chief divides the remaining letters equally among the editors.

At this moment, a famous editor suddenly laughed.

"what happened?"

"fine."

The editor shook his head and suppressed his smile. The more he read the letter in his hand, the more he loved it, and he couldn't help marking it himself.

The social newspaper is issued once every five days and twice every ten days.

Because Mr. Jianli's contribution complained too much, the editor marked his own opinion under his article for the sake of Mr. Jianli.

"Guang Chengzi reproached the Yellow Emperor for his superficial attitude towards nature, eager to profit from the remnants of things."

"He suggests that the only way to truly benefit human society is to step back and elucidate the fundamentals of nature."

"Yellow Emperor's attitude has been compared to a greedy predator of nature. Instead of waiting to find the basic principles of nature and apply them, he does not allow the clouds and grains to ripen."

"It would not be a good article to think of all our experience in the proper relation between the theoretical and applied sciences."

On the 30th day of the first lunar month of the [-]th year of Hongwu, Society News.

The circulation of each issue of Social News is about 12 copies, and the price of each copy is 400%, which is [-] Wen. The monthly sales volume is more than [-] taels. Among them, only China Heavy Industry has an internal order of more than [-] copies. .

The first group to read newspapers is a relatively wealthy group with a relatively high level of education.

With the increase in newspaper circulation, the number of people who read newspapers has also increased, but the group level is still above the average.

As a result, even with the editor's mark, many people still see the sour taste in the handwriting of this article.

That's interesting.

Anyone who reads the newspapers in Peking knows that there is a person who is very sad.

If you are a normal person, knowing that you are unreasonable, you will probably calm down, and when this turmoil passes, it will pass.

But Mr. Supervisor is not an ordinary person.

The school is a closed place, and the professional environment makes the gentleman group very serious and sensitive. Not only does the supervisor not think that he is wrong, but he also thinks it is wrong for others to laugh at him.

He fought in battle and fired the first shot in Peiping.

"Just take a small country with a small population. Under the rule of a sage, there may be such a situation: although there are devices that save labor ten times or more than a hundred times, people do not use them."

"The sage can make the people ready to die two more times for their country, and not emigrate."

"Although it is possible to have boats and vehicles, no one uses them. Although it is possible to have weapons of war, no one uses them."

"At the same time, he can make the people return from writing to knotting and keeping records, be satisfied with their food, love their clothes, be satisfied with their houses, and appreciate their work and customs."

"A neighboring country may be so close that you can hear the crowing and barking of dogs, but the people never bother to go there even if they are old and dead."

The priests were outraged.

Whoever provoked someone, a mad dog came to bite their Taoists.

The Taoist priests were not easy to deal with, and they immediately fought back.

"General, if you are willing to listen to me, I will be your envoy. Go to Wu and Yue in the south, Qi and Lu in the north, and Jin and Chu in the west."

"I will persuade them to build you a big city of hundreds of miles, and build a town with hundreds of thousands of residents under it, and respect you as a prince there."

"In this way, you can start your career again, strike a truce, disband the army, adopt your brothers, and worship your ancestors with them - this is the road worthy of saints and talented officials, and it can also satisfy the world. people's wishes."

This article, which was originally written by Taoist priests to satirize Mr. Jianli, was published in a miscellaneous newspaper, but it aroused the outrage of Confucian scholars.

"Old-nosed Daoist dare to insult the sages!"

The Confucian scholars either didn't take action, or they were extremely vicious.

"Its politics are boring, but its people are honest. Its politics are inspected, and its people are lacking..."

Such a vicious article made the Taoist priests furious. If it makes them die, what face do they have to worry about now?

"Aren't those people who are known by the world as wise people all proving to be collectors for the thieves? And those who are considered saints, aren't they all proving to be the guardians of the thieves' interests?"

"Here is a man who stole a buckle for his belt, and he was put to death for it."

"But another man stole a country, and he became the king of that country."

"And we see that it is in the gates of these kings that benevolence and justice shout the loudest. Isn't this stealing benevolence, righteousness and wisdom?"

"In this way, they become great thieves in an instant, gaining the princely territory, stealing benevolence and righteousness and all the benefits generated from the use of dou, dendrobium, power, scale, talisman, and seal."

……

"Therefore, if the "sage" and "wisdom" are abandoned, the robbers will disappear."

One kills.

A root.

In the spring of the 30th year of Hongwu in Beiping, the first shot was fired by a teacher, and it was out of control.

Confucianism and Taoism became fierce battles, and in the end it spread farther and farther, with greater influence and more and more people participating.

Countless literati and Taoists came to Peiping to contribute to their own side, and to produce talents.

Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded.

"What happened to the fight?"

Suffering from being uneducated, Zhu Gaochi hadn't seriously studied ancient knowledge these years. Zhu Gaochi read all the recent newspapers again, but he still didn't know what the two were arguing about.

In the end, his husband, Yu Fengchen, shook his head and asked the little prince in frustration.

"In the beginning, the school teacher complained in the newspaper because he didn't win an award, and used the name of Taoism."

"After being satirized, this person satirizes Taoism's attitude towards society, such as saving ten or a hundred times more equipment without waiting."

"Now that Beiping's industrialization is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this person's blunt words are tantamount to stabbing the Taoists severely."

While listening to Yu Fengchen's explanation, Zhu Gaochi reflected on the contents of the newspaper, and then suddenly realized, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

I also understood the reason for the conflict between the two families, and also understood the process of the conflict's expansion.

"The following articles of Taoist counterattack, which brought out Confucius, are mocking the kind of Confucianism that clings to the worst strong beams and competes to be its counselors."

"Then Confucianism fought back and began to use political attacks, saying that the priests blamed the sages, saying that only when the sages look worried, the people are happy and satisfied; but when the sages appear active and self-reliant, the people will be critical and dissatisfied."

"This is a move to turn the table, so that Taoism also turned the table, directly attacking Confucianism, saying that Confucianism is to gain fame and cling to the strong. Only when society abandons Confucianism, there will be no more people who surrender."

Yu Fengchen tried his best to speak shallowly.

Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes.

Each family has black material. In the past, everyone had small-scale exchanges in private, trying to avoid the black material of each family as much as possible, and maintain their respective decency.

Now that there is a "public forum" called a newspaper, anyone can go up and say a few words, which is hard to control.

You say something black, and I say something black, and everyone's fig leaf will become more and more blatant, more and more embarrassing and angry, and the fight will become more and more fierce.

But Zhu Gaochi was very happy.

When literati quarrel, it means writing but not hands. Of course, the more lively the quarrel, the better, and knock down the high-ranking posture to the dust.

Let the common people see clearly that they are all these things.
