Watching several hardcore members of the Yan Party leaving, Song Yingchang did not stop, but continued to answer questions about Hangzhou Xinxue.
"So Hangzhou New Learning is not just a study of reform, but a study of teaching the old party how to supervise the new law. The introduction of the benevolence and righteousness index is like a double-edged sword, which is not only the basis for the new party to implement the reform, but also the The imperial court and the people tested the new law's requirements."
"The benevolence and righteousness index proposed by Hangzhou New School is the first time in Confucianism that all schools of Confucianism have unified evaluation standards, so that each school of Confucianism no longer speaks for itself. , It also makes theory correspond to practice, so that theory will not be idle in the world of theory."
Song Yingchang paused and said, "Okay, after talking about the philosophy and methodological issues of Xining's reform, the final round Now why is the court needed?”
Dating back to ancient times, there were few people but many animals. Therefore, the people had to form tribes and clans to protect themselves. Clan or tribe has two aspects: safety and pair hunting.
Then, the Zhou royal family divided into feudal systems and determined the status of concubines and concubines. From then on, the Zhou royal family was accused of maintaining Zhou etiquette.
Then, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams emerged, and the Iron Age came. The Zhou rites maintained by the Zhou royal family no longer met the needs of the times. The stubborn Zhou royal family was quickly abandoned by society.
They were replaced by the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Their management of social relationships goes deeper. There are good and bad, but in the end, Qin, which can best mobilize social resources and stimulate production by integrating farming and war, wins.
Then there was the Song Dynasty. Firearms began to be weaponized, and muskets and artillery were born. But it is obvious that the two Song Dynasty courts could not adapt to this change well. Society is still governed by traditional Iron Age rules, which means that the benefits of firearms cannot be fully applied. On the contrary, Meng Yuan, who had no historical baggage, took advantage.
After all, Meng Yuan was used to fighting on the grassland. How easy it is to use. Granular gunpowder, explosive shells, rockets, and return artillery emerged at the historic moment.
The Meng Yuan Dynasty was invincible in the world except for its own light cavalry from Genghis Khan and Xue Jun. The use of firearms, especially in field battles and sieges, is also unparalleled in the world.
When he attacked the capital of the Khwarizm Kingdom, he used gunpowder to send strong fire oil to the Khwarizm Palace, thereby destroying the resistance organization of Khwarizm.
In addition to firearms, when he besieged the 100-meter-high mountain city of Constantinople, he used trebuchets and artillery to project corpses containing the plague virus into the castle. Two months later, there was no living person standing to resist in Constantinople, originally the capital of the Byzantine Empire and where the country's elite were concentrated.
The Mongolian Han Mengge only sent a small team of people to do protective disinfection and then went into the city to collect property and food before leaving. The large group of people walked directly around the city.
Fortunately, Brother Meng died unexpectedly in Diaoyu City. Otherwise, once it institutionalizes these experiences, it will be difficult for Mongolia to defeat it.
Fortunately, Kublai Khan, who succeeded to the throne, threw away the Mongolian tradition, put the swords and guns in the treasury, and released the horses in the Nanshan Mountains. Although Sinicization was beneficial to his rule, it also gave aThe possibility of silk being overthrown.
At the end of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the world was in chaos. Emperor Taizu was born in response to the disaster, expelled the Tartars, restored China, established principles and disciplines, and rescued the people. If you take the heart of the world as your own heart, you will naturally have no disadvantages.
Throughout history, we can find that the universe and the earth work together to bring about heroes without freedom.
Then what is the destiny of a hero is the requirement of the times. In peacetime, it is the requirement of human justice. In the critical period of technological iteration, whoever masters and promotes the application of technology will control the destiny.
These things have a concept called public goods in Hangzhou Xinxue. There are some things that anyone can enjoy and have the opportunity to maximize their benefits.
But officially since anyone can use it, no one is willing to take the initiative. It’s only cost-effective to use what others already have.
The imperial court wants to provide such public goods to all the people. Whoever owns public goods can achieve the same desire in the world. Based on compulsory taxation, everyone felt that the court was indispensable. Moreover, once the imperial court falls, who believes that the next one will be willing to do so
Benevolence and righteousness are not only the natural human rights of the people, but also the obligation of the imperial court. Promoting the iterative development of technology and other natural principles to promote the good in all things and eliminate the evil in all things is the method for the court to realize benevolence and righteousness. The unity of knowledge and action, knowing good and evil, doing good and avoiding evil is the code of conduct for officials.
Of course, in order to realize benevolence and righteousness in all aspects, the court must handle the relationship between people from all walks of life and types of transactions. With the development of technology, social management continues to be refined.
Song Yingchang basically talked for the whole day. I didn’t even eat or take a break at noon.
Jiajing was basically dozing off in the afternoon, so he simply left early. Only King Yu was left in the main hall to listen to the lecture.
Jiajing also saw the contents one night in advance.
To be honest, he basically understands what it means, isn’t it just hiding his clumsiness. It became hard and uneconomical to open a court and become an emperor. Naturally, no one wanted to seize the imperial power.
As long as there are many capable ministers and officials in the world at the same time, there will naturally be no fear of the powerful ministers monopolizing power.
"But, doesn't this mean that after kneeling down to beg for food, it will be difficult for generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty to stand up again?" Jiajing felt a ridiculous feeling in his heart.
After staying up late last night, Jiajing had a headache when he moved his head, and his cough became more severe. I stayed outside until noon and when I couldn't bear it anymore, I returned to the monastery. After wiping the slightly red handkerchief at the corner of his mouth, he put it away and threw it into the stove.
Jiajing, who was not going to bother, finally took a nap with peace of mind. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
