One Thousand Seventy-Six, the World Is in Turmoil
One thousand seventy-six, the world is in motion
Downstairs in Jinyu, it was as quiet as death at this time, and all the Confucian scholars present were sitting blankly and pale. Seems to have lost the ability to respond, muttering to himself.
Those scholars who just echoed and didn't utter bad words were all lucky. Do a lot of work in the country, and don't use words as sinners. Those words they said, will not be condemned.
At most, after being known by others, it will be difficult to enter the official career.
Those who opened their mouths to curse were as disheartened as death, and all their spirits disappeared without a trace in this short period of time.
On the contrary, those merchants and wealthy people all looked excited and extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, he actually really won—"
"Your Majesty ascended to the throne at the age of fifteen, and in the past ten years, he has successively expanded his territory by tens of thousands of miles. He has also laid a large foundation in foreign regions. Although he hates governing the country, he has an unparalleled military strategy. How can such a hero who founded the country be a big merchant? Can the Emperor Yuanchen be compared to the emperor who can only guard the city? How can he really be the faint emperor in the population of Confucianism?"
"Haha! It's ridiculous that those Confucian scholars really think that Junshang built the wine pool palace for pleasure? Junshang, he is not a tyrant—"
"I can't stand it for a long time, it's so rude! I really wish that the emperor would arrest them and cut them into pieces."
No scruples in speech. At this moment, there are many seats for Confucian scholars in this building, which is full of sarcasm. But at this time, the situation has been reversed. If it was the latter, they dared not speak out, and they were extremely frustrated.
"Tsk tsk, it's a good thing I kept my child at home and didn't allow him to come out. This kid was bewitched by Confucian people, and he actually believed what Zhu Zi said. Those Confucian academies are really troublesome children—"
"Now that I have won a big victory, I don't know if I can occupy the land of the Central Plains? The land in the south of the Yangtze River is safe to defend, so I should be able to occupy it? The five continents in the south of the Yangtze River are notoriously rich places."
In the corner on the south side, the three of 'Yangming' and 'Wenwei' looked at each other in a daze.
And that Zong Xi was also in a trance, dazed and absent-minded.
The defeat of Dashang was simply unimaginable to him. The Central Plains Dynasty had a strong national power, ten times that of the Qian Kingdom. How could it be so easy to lose?
However, looking at the unanimous opinion at this time, it seems that there is no falsehood.
"The 800,000 elites were all wiped out in front of the Jiuchi Palace, in the Meteor God Realm? It seems that the world is really going to be chaotic."
'Yangming' drank the wine for himself and sighed. He expected that Yin Yu and the three religions would try to break the deadlock of confrontation.
He also guessed that the big merchant might start from the Jiuchi Palace, and had no choice but to enter the battlefield selected by the Qian Kingdom. However, they never expected that the big business association would lose so badly.
800,000 people are only equivalent to one-twentieth of an army of 18 million.
However, Da Shang at this time had his spine completely broken by Zong Shou!
To the north of the Min River, although there are still tens of millions of troops left, they are already meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered and unable to return to heaven.
Without these elite frontier soldiers, the north of the Great Merchants must be even more stressed. But in that country, there will be even more chaos.
"It's not just this world that is in chaos?"
That 'Wen Wei' smiled wryly, frowning. It is true that the world is in chaos, but among the Confucianism sect, there may be frequent disputes.
Within Confucianism, there are countless schools. In the past, Lijiao was dominant, and with Zhu Zi suppressing it, the sub-branches within Confucianism could only bow their heads and dare not speak out.
However, after this great change at this time, I don't know how many people will jump out and question Zhu Zixian.
"Yangming, from your point of view, this Daqian monarch is a matter of the living sage, how credible is it?"
He is most concerned about this matter. If Zong Shou is really the sage master recognized by the world, then the situation of Confucianism at this time will be even worse.
That 'Zong Xi' also pricked up his ears, also curious about this matter.
"I don't know about this either!"
Yangming shook his head. After all, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, so how could he be certain if he could not know the exact news? But——
"However, if the king of Daqian is really a holy king, accompanied by a unicorn. Then the Taoist Zilinyan spear cavalry will definitely wipe out the entire army!"
"Um?"
'Wen Wei''s eyes flickered, already a little understanding of what it meant.
The king of the holy beast unicorn has the power to restrain those Xuanyan Jinlin beasts of the Confucian sect.
Zilinyan Spear Cavalry is certainly a top Taoist soldier who has been famous for thousands of years, but if he meets a real sage, he may have no power to resist at all.
The defeat of the three religions seems to be the reason for this. Otherwise, why did they lose so badly?
"Probably yes! In this way, is the government of this Qianguo monarch the real way of benevolent king? It is recognized by the way of heaven and humanity—"
"How is it possible, it's so absurd—"
Zong Xi was devastated, the impact of today's events on his ideas can be called a subversion.
"It's the living sage!"
That Yangming looked out of the window with dazed eyes. "The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I am going to move all my family members to the east. From my point of view, Dashang will not collapse for a while, but—"
This time, that 'Wen Wei' was not very surprised,
After a big effort and a big victory, he has become the overlord of the cloud world at this time, the country is strong and prosperous, and the people's livelihood is peaceful and happy. On the other hand, after the defeat of the big merchants, it was in turmoil. Even if it can still be maintained, it can't last long.
In fact, as early as when he heard the good news of the great campaign, he had already had this idea in his heart, and temporarily moved to Donglin to avoid the troubled times.
"If possible, it's best to be an official. We have to look at the country's economy, and it's always like looking at the flowers in the fog. We can't know the truth. Only after becoming an official and holding a certain amount of power can we explore the fundamentals."
That Zongxi was taken aback, and said anxiously: "But that Great Shang Monarch himself said that he would burn books and destroy Confucianism, and destroy our Confucianism."
'Yang Ming' didn't answer, just looked at that 'Wen Wei' and smiled. And how can he not know that the only dissatisfaction with that great monarch is the Confucian teachings and Zhu Zi at this time.
I believe that among the Confucianists, it is not just the two of them who can see this.
That Zongxi was still about to speak, but outside the Jinyu Tower, there was another cheering sound that shook the sky,
"Your Majesty has won a great victory, and there are five edicts announced to the world—"
"Farmers don't have to pay taxes, but subsidize money? This, this is really an anecdote!"
"Speaking of my hard work, the agricultural tax is indeed very small. Instead, the three taxes of industry and commerce account for 90%. It doesn't matter if it is exempted!"
"For the workers and peasants of the world, set up a pension for the elderly? So that the people of great power can be supported in their old age, and don't have to worry about being miserable for thousands of years? Your Majesty, he is indeed a holy king!"
"An edict to destroy demons? These demonic people are indeed worthy of death! If it's not that my cultivation base is not enough, I'm only at the second level, and I can't wait to kill a few demonic people with my own hands!"
"Abolish the three law divisions, change the Ministry of Justice, and no longer obey the cabinet, but only be supervised by the Senate Hall. After today, the king is under the law? The king breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people? I don't understand, it's really strange. The king is the sage who is hard to see in the world. Sir, why do you need to do this?"
"Abolish all corporal punishments? Good! Good! Good! You are so benevolent! But my nephew, why can't I meet such a sage early? He just took three pieces of other people's money and cut off three fingers. Now I regret it , a broken limb cannot be revived—"
"Prohibit the trading of acres of land in the world, the government buys it, and distributes it to the landless people? Is it necessary? Now farming, but not making money, my family's land has long wanted to sell some. But I don't know how much the government will subsidize?"
The two of 'Yangming' and 'Wenwei' had a flash of light in their eyes, and with a flash, they arrived outside Jinyu Tower.
The place where the notice was posted was not far away, on a bluestone wall two hundred feet away.
At this time and this place, it is already crowded with people, densely packed, and I don't know how many there are.
Fortunately, both of them have the ability to float. The spiritual eye can see thousands of miles away, and at this time, when you look from afar, you have already taken all the content of the notice into your eyes.
That'Wen Wei' suddenly took a deep breath: "Once this edict is issued, the hearts of the people of the world will all be returned to Daqian! If it can be done, the monarch of Qian Kingdom will indeed be worthy of being a living sage!"
Yangming looked around: "Officials and gentry pay food as a whole, share the land and share the land. This policy can be said to offend the powerful and powerful in the world. The strange thing is that looking at the situation here, these people have no intention of resisting."
Among this crowd, there are many rich people and even officials, although some of them are filled with righteous indignation and some are dissatisfied. But the vast majority of them are indifferent and don't care about it.
Obviously, Zong Shou's edict did not really touch their pain.
Is it related to the business strategy? Yangming thought about it.
When doing business, the income far exceeds that of farming, and you may even lose money. For these people, there is no need for those lands to remain in their hands.
In fact, regardless of whether it is east or south, Fengyun Road is now sparsely populated.
There are countless lands that can be developed. That Zong kept this policy, most likely in preparation for entering Zhongyang Yunlu.
Decide on the national policy first and enter later, of course you will encounter resistance from the powerful families in the Central Plains.
But it was better than later, when the national policy was kidnapped by these wealthy families.
The plan is far-reaching!
He was becoming more and more curious about this powerful monarch. It's a pity that my reputation is not obvious, and I don't have the chance to meet——
Shaking his head, Yangming looked at the last imperial edict. A loud laugh was heard next to his ear.
"Is the king under the law? At the beginning, Xunzi's wish and Hanzi's life-long pursuit were realized by a disciple of the Cangshengdao. I don't know how these two would feel if they knew it? The descendants of Xizi who advocate the equality of the world are still alive. Shengjun, has the sky really opened its eyes?"
The laughter vibrated for several miles, attracting the attention of everyone here.
Even Yang Ming and Wen Wei were equally curious and turned their heads.
I saw a middle-aged son who was also dressed as a scribe, but not trim, was walking far away.
"Recruiting scholars from all over the world, commenting on Confucianism. Discussing the merits of Confucianism, commenting on Confucianism's faults! Reviewing Confucianism! It's so vicious, but I like it! It really deserves to be a sage hero, and it is too much better than Qin Shidi! "
Yang Ming is silent, Zong Shou's edict is indeed ruthless. It is Yu who wants to cut open the school of Confucianism and let everyone see it.
Wen Wei frowned, intending to step forward. But Yang Ming stretched out his hand to stop him.
"This person seems to be from the Legalist lineage, from Han Zi's lineage!" (To be continued.
