1074 The Yangming Controversy
In Qianyao Mountain City, all the teahouses and restaurants are almost full of guests at this time.
It wasn't during the great business war that these people were still in the mood to feast and drink, but gathered here spontaneously. In this well-connected place of information gathering and distribution, we are waiting for rumors and various messages from Zhongyang Yunlu.
Since a month ago, Qianyao Mountain City has been in panic.
Although he had enough confidence in Zong Shou, Da Shang's 18 million army had a real oppressive force.
In the past, ordinary people did not know the existence of the six major sects and sects.
But today, there are many martial arts halls. The monarch acted eccentrically. He not only banned the sects, but encouraged the sects to open martial arts gyms among the people and recruit disciples.
So in Dagan, even ordinary civilians can know the prestige of the six religions.
Needless to say, Confucianism, Taoism is in charge of cultivating the world, and there are three thousand ways. Regardless of the folks, the number one religion in the cloud world is well-deserved.
And the magic way is not too inferior, and it also has countless vassal sects.
The combination of the three teachings must make people feel heavy. Every day when there is nothing to do, the people in Qianyao City will gather in teahouses and restaurants to discuss things in the east.
Among them, Jinyu Tower is a teahouse located in the south of Qianyao City. It is famous for its elegance and style. On the opposite side of it is Linhai Academy, a branch in Qianyao Mountain.
At this time, Qianyao City is already a prosperous city comparable to the imperial capital, and Dagan is building martial arts academies everywhere to promote enlightenment and open up the wisdom of the people.
This place is said to be a branch of Linhai Academy, but the head of the academy has long intended to relocate the academy here. But at this time, the door was closed and closed.
Even so, Confucianism is still gathering in this rain tower. In addition, there are also many wealthy merchants nearby.
On the contrary, it was more lively than usual.
"It's been a month, and the Great Merchant King hasn't broken through the Min River yet?"
"This Kong Yao is actually so powerful! With three million players, the enemy has six times as many troops, and the master Wang has no room to take advantage of!"
"It's nothing more than relying on the favorable location of the Minhe River, and the naval master, I don't think she can last long!"
"Witch, traitor to the Lord and minister! Willing to degrade—"
Daqian does not commit crimes with words, and speech is free. Therefore, as long as it is not deliberately insulting, there is no crime.
But just now when the Confucian scholar uttered this sentence, the expressions of the people around him changed slightly, as if nothing had happened.
They are all confident, Daqian is now in a precarious situation, maybe when he wakes up tomorrow, it will collapse.
At this time, who dares to inform the government, and who dares to punish them for their crimes?
If you go to prison, it is actually not a bad thing, but you can gain prestige among scholars and become a celebrity.
"Traitors can't be said, but they are also acting as minions for tigers. I don't know what is right and what is wrong!"
"I heard that Zongshou conscripted hundreds of thousands of barbarians in southern Xinjiang a few months ago and built a wine pool palace. It was imitated from the wine pool meat forest in the ancient times of Jie and Zhou, and captured tens of thousands of beautiful women. The soldiers in front fought hard, but he Shengge, more white ri and yin."
"Sure enough, it's absurd and immoral! Before the expedition, wasn't it the same? I almost ignored the state affairs!"
"He is very lucky, but I don't know how long he can enjoy it?"
"It's a barbarian king after all! It's no match for the Holy Army of the Central Plains. This so-called great effort will surely perish!"
In the restaurant, not all of them entered along with these Confucian scholars. At this time, most of them kept silent, but some were filled with righteous indignation.
"Nonsense! After your Majesty ascended the throne, he has never failed in sweeping up the government. The domestic politics are clear, the country is rich and the people are strong——"
"Sweeping **, never defeated? Hey, he was undefeated before, but he may not be undefeated in the future, just because he didn't meet an opponent."
"Is the politics clear and clear? Parents and officials in a place are actually elected by ignorant people. What do these people know? Doesn't it mean that whoever has money, whoever promises more benefits, can be an official?"
"So what? If those wealthy businessmen want to be officials, they need to give me enough benefits first—"
"Ignorant! How can such an official serve the well-being of the people? I am a Confucian child, educated by the sage, and entered to rule the world and restore the ancient three emperors. In the eyes of the sect guard, it is a pit Those who are useless to kill! Even if they are used, they can only be officials, and cannot be the chief official of one side. Even if they are lucky enough to become a minister of the frontier, they still have to be supervised by the Senate Hall, what is it like?"
"Then do you want an imperial examination? I haven't seen a big job yet, so how good is it!"
"This is a system that has been passed down for thousands of years! How can you, a barbarian, know the benefits of creating a grand event for generations?"
"You wait to slander and slander, and wait until I come back with a big victory, and see how he will treat you like this!"
"Haha, I'm afraid he won't have this chance—"
"Slaying one's life for benevolence, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, why am I afraid of death?"
But there are also people who gather around and discuss in low voices, and do not participate in the dispute. Everyone's face is full of sorrow.
"Big merchants emphasize agriculture, scholars, farmers, and businessmen. If we win, I don't know how to deal with these people. Will I be exploited by those powerful officials?"
"Today's big business, although the political system is a bit absurd. I really don't need to worry about being embarrassed and blackmailed by those dignitaries. As long as I have enough financial resources, I can even control the state affairs. If it is a big business, it is not necessarily so."
"You don't need to be lucky, I just moved here from the Central Plains. Today's big merchants are like tigers, and officials are like wolves. In their eyes, I wait for these things to be slaughtered like lambs and let them eat fish."
"Unfortunately, Your Majesty does not accept donations, nor does he say tax increases. If this is a fight, even if I donate half of my family property, I am willing!"
"It's not that serious, even if we lose. There are still tens of thousands of miles of sea of clouds—"
At this moment in Jinyu Building, only one place is still silent. The three people sitting here were all silent and listening quietly.
Two of them were in their late thirties. The one sitting next to him was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, but his demeanor was extremely mature and his expression was solemn.
"Brother Yangming, what do you think? Who will win the battle of Shanggan in the end?"
The person who said this was facing north and south, with dark skin, but an extraordinary appearance. At this moment, in the words, there is a bit of asking for advice.
"Wen Wei, why are you asking me that?
The person who was called Yangming Zhiru, who was commensurate with the word, shook his head and laughed, but his expression became serious again immediately.
"Wen Wei, don't you know the current situation of Dashang? The grain depot is actually empty. An army of 18 million sounds majestic. But the grain and grass that Dashang has accumulated over the years is at most only It can supply the needs of the moment. And looking at the big work again, I have seen some people worry about the battle situation, and some people curse wantonly, but have any people worried about food and clothing?"
But 'Wen Wei' is also extremely smart, and he immediately understood the meaning: "So, Brother Yang Ming is not optimistic about Da Shang? Do you think Da Shang will definitely lose if you continue to drag it on?"
Work hard for the people, without food and clothing. It shows that this war is far from exceeding the limit that Dagan National can support.
As far as he knows, it is now in the Central Plains. The people were displaced, and some places were even more mutilated.
Not because of a sudden disaster, but because of a disaster.
"I see that Kong Yao used his troops very well. He is worthy of being a world-renowned commander. Let alone a month, if you give Dashang half a year, you may not be able to break through the Min River."
The 'Yangming' held the wine glass in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty didn't know before the battle, but he should also be aware of the predicament at this time, and he will definitely seek to break the situation. Looking at the powerful monarch, it seems that he has no intention of procrastinating. So There are still variables in this battle. It is expected that the outcome will be determined within ten days. But Shouren, it is still up to the powerful monarch. Your Majesty, I am afraid that he is not the opponent—”
That 'Wen Wei' suddenly hissed and took a breath of cold air. Knowing that the person in front of him is not only the best literary talent in the cloud world. Martial arts and military art are also among the top in the world, not inferior to the so-called geniuses in the world.
Especially in the art of war, no one is his opponent when talking about soldiers of the same generation. Whenever there is a war, this entry judgment will never fail.
Although self-deprecating is just talking on paper, in the eyes of 'Wen Wei', his good friend is definitely not the kind of person who can only talk about it.
If he could command millions of soldiers and fight on the battlefield, he might be someone like Kong Yao.
Dismounted can be governed, mounted can lead the army, is all-round talent.
That archery skill can kill even the strongest in the holy realm within a thousand miles!
The big merchants are facing the enemy with six times as many troops, this Jing is predicting that the big merchants will be defeated.
This battle is related to the struggle for hegemony in the cloud world, and who will belong to the southern border of the Central Plains.
If it is as expected, this Yaoxia is about to undergo a big change—the young man next to him is a little bit dissatisfied at the moment.
"Teacher! That Zongshou was designated as an enemy of Confucianism by the first sage Zhu Zi! This person built wine ponds and meat forests during the battle of national destiny. It is expected that he is not a good king. How can my great merchant lose to him? Emperor Yuanchen , but even the Great Merchant Zhongxing Yingzhu, how can he be compared?"
That 'Yangming' chuckled and didn't bother to argue with him. With just one hand knife, it hit the boy on the head.
"Seeing is believing! To the east is a barren land, but it can be so prosperous. How can it be hypocritical? That sect guard is like this, how can you trust others' words?"
The young man let out an 'Hey', but dared not speak out. His teacher, at this time, never reasoned with him, only speaking with violence.
At this time, I can only say in embarrassment: "Mencius ri: Those who conquer the entry with strength are not convinced by the heart, and strength is not enough. Those who conquer the entry with virtue, the heart is convinced by sincerity!"
"Are you trying to persuade me with reason? Zong Xi, you can recite this sentence quite well!"
Yang Ming chuckled, and without any hesitation, hit the boy on the head with a hand knife again.
"I'm here to teach you, the reason cannot be argued! Even if you want to refute your teacher's words, you need to come up with reasonable arguments! My Confucianism, there are many contradictions and conflicts, because there is no logic. This must be investigated!"
'Wen Wei' on the opposite side immediately smiled: "I've heard that in the past ten years, when that monarch was in charge of government, there were really very few. So it's the work of the monarch, it's better to say it's the merit of the virtuous prime minister! "
He laughed again and said, "It is also true that the Great Shang Monarch has overhauled his palace in the southern border."
"This is exactly where I am puzzled!"
That'Yangming' shook his head: "After the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was said that it is better to lighten the tax and do nothing. The early death of Qin and Sui can be a lesson for others. The people of Lin, do you have the intention of being difficult and unwilling?"
