"Although I need the scholars to be obedient, it does not mean that I really want to let them all work together, because I just don't let them talk nonsense, and their learning must serve the long-term stability and prosperity of the empire, not for the selfish desires of individuals and the selfish interests of certain groups; Although the Ming Dynasty is the Son of Heaven and the Gang is dictatorial, it does not mean that things will not be prosperous, I am the Son of Heaven, and I have both martial arts and governance!
”Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked: "I asked Chongsi to choose ten annual private works that can be commended and can be used for meritorious speeches?"
Let them order as soon as possible!
I don't believe that the doctors of the Ming Dynasty usually love to dance and play with ink, and in the end, they really don't even have half a sentence of poetry that can be passed on to future generations!
As long as there is, I will not reward or confer officials!
”Zhu Youxiao continued to express his purpose of controlling the affairs of the world.From the very beginning, he did not intend to imprison the mind like the Manchus.Zhu Youxiao's plan is just to let people obey his arrangement to speak, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the prosperity of the cause of promoting the pulse, but since it is a governance cause, he did not choose to fight directly, but to use the way of fighting, to screen excellent books to enable a group of obedient royal people, to reward them with wealth, to reuse them with officials, and finally to win over a group of people with the same position as themselves, and let the people and doctors make their own choices, want to live a nourishing life, want to speak, want to have more fame and higher status and greater power, You have to obey the will of the emperor.Otherwise, they will honestly farm the land and live a poor life, and the chapters they write can only be used for fire in the end.After all, the power and technology of printing and publishing, as well as capital, were controlled by the emperor."
Chongsi is choosing, but there are too many speakers in the Ming Dynasty now, and it is very difficult to choose the best of the ten!"
Fang Congzhe replied, he had to admit that His Majesty the Emperor's idea was very vicious, and it was simply an irresistible conspiracy.What scholars care about most is meritorious service, speech, and morality, and one of the three is enough to last for a hundred years.Among them, meritorious service and virtue are the most difficult, and speech is the easiest for people.Therefore, people want their books to be affirmed and recognized, and even to be immortalized with the help of the imperial court.What Fang Congzhe didn't tell Zhu Youxiao was that now because Chongsi wanted to choose a book to enter the school to reward him for his meritorious work, the people who came to bribe his son from high-ranking officials in the court to civil Confucianism had almost broken through the threshold of his family.A few days later, Zhu Youxiao got a list of outstanding works recommended by Fang Congzhe to Chongsi.The entire list consisted of 100 books written by private individuals, and Emperor Zhu Youxiao had to select 10 of them for promotion.And because Zhu Youxiao had a promotion request, the content of the book chapter is not limited to Confucianism."
The geometry co-translated by Xu Aiqing and others has to be selected, and Xu Aiqing's complete book of agricultural politics is also selected, this Xu Aiqin has a lot of works!
In addition, in terms of legends, Feng Menglong's ancient and modern laughter is selected, and in terms of personal collections, Ling Mengchu's Dongpo Zen Joy Collection, Yuan Zhongdao's Youju Persimmon Record, and Chen Jiru's Little West Window Records are selected. ”At this time, Zhu Youxiao also personally selected ten books that have a relatively high status in the history of learning and whose authors are still alive.In addition, Zhu Youxiao also asked Chongsi to select ten books that needed to be allocated to expand the printing volume and recommended to be read by the people of the world to promote the prosperity of the Great Ming Dynasty.And among these books, Zhu Youxiao's first choice was Dahe.However, Zhu Youxiao's selection of this is purely disgusting to the rentier class in the world, because Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose in compiling this book was to restrain the powerful gentry from doing anything wrong and let the common people fight for their own rights and interests.In addition, there is also the Great Ming Law and the Emperor's Hadith compiled by Zhu Youxiao himself for the Hanlin Academy.The Emperor's Hadith was compiled by Zhu Youxiao and then compiled by the Hanlin Academy to educate the officials of the world, so that these officials could learn and know their ruling intentions.Of course, in addition to these official books, Zhu Youxiao also selected Journey to the West, Golden 0 Bottle 0 Plum Words, West Chamber, which are popular works of the common people, as well as natural science works such as Kunyu Wanguo Quantu, in Zhu Youxiao's view, these are more or less enlightening, promoting the development of the Ming Dynasty, and enhancing the dominance of the Ming Dynasty.Yuan Zhongdao, Li Zhizao, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Tingyun were all given a generous reward of 10,000 taels of silver by Zhu Youxiao because their works were selected.In addition, these people were all awarded the rank of Hanlin Academy.Yuan Zhongdao, who was originally an official, was directly added to the fictitious title of the head of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Guangqi, who was already an official and was not in a low position, was added as a young master, and Feng Menglong, who was not in the middle of the department, was uniformly awarded the official position of the Hanlin Academy.Zhu Youxiao also summoned these people in the Qianqing Palace, and said that the imperial court would allocate special funds to vigorously print and disseminate their works.Yuan Zhongdao and these people were naturally very grateful, and they were even more surprised, after all, Zhu Youxiao's image in the eyes of many ministers and doctors was now a tyrant.However, now Yuan Zhongdao and these people also have to change their views on the current saint.However, Zhu Youxiao's way of holding the right to judge the works in his own hands still makes many people and doctors feel dissatisfied.Especially not being chosen."
How can the imperial court choose books like this, the legend of the book is just for Li Shu to see, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but it can also be presented to the high pavilion in a grand manner?
There is also this complete book of agricultural administration, geometry was originally just miscellaneous and the like, but it was also selected, which must be due to Xu Guangqi, a traitorous minister, controlling the government program!
”"It's just that the books that comment on the Four Books and the Five Classics have not been selected much, which is simply a mess!""
Miscellaneous books such as Journey to the West and the West Chamber are also considered to represent the works of the Ming Dynasty?
It's hilarious!
When did my Confucian orthodoxy become inferior to these miscellaneous books in this representing the splendor of the book!
”"There are also these golden 0 bottle 0 plum words, it is just circulated within the people, how can it be recommended to the world, doesn't this intend to promote the ugliness of the world, especially the powerful family!"
Many ministers and doctors of the Ming Dynasty were quite opposed to this, and there were many discussions, and even some officials even asked to boycott miscellaneous studies and ask the court to respect science alone.Zhu Youxiao only felt funny about this, because these scholars and doctors themselves could not "preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires", and abide by Zhu Zi's learning, but they asked the court and the people of the world to abide by their ways.What makes Zhu Youxiao have to admit is that many times, it is often the orthodox people themselves who are imprisoning and preventing the development of Chinese sinicization.These people will not know how many directors, stars and online authors the Journey to the West they despise now will feed in the future generations.Although many ministers and doctors opposed the use of miscellaneous texts in the official name to advocate and promote them, this did not prevent Zhu Youxiao from making new policies in the field of chemistry.Because the books and works that Zhu Youxiao admired are not to cater to the interests and needs of people and doctors, but to guide people to create more books to expose the ugly side of their own powerful and gentry class, and to achieve the purpose of enlightening the people's wisdom and entertaining the people at the bottom.In other words, it is to guide people to serve the people and the country.In terms of serving the country, it is to enhance the influence of the Ming Empire by creating more works with the ability to spread and assimilate.Zhu Youxiao is very aware of how some countries in later generations used animation, film and television and other works to influence young people in other countries.Moreover, in Zhu Youxiao's view, many people are not good at Baguzhang, so they are frustrated in the field, and these people are often dissatisfied with the imperial court.Therefore, he thinks that the emperor can use this way of letting Chongsi recommend people with excellent works to enter the Hanlin Academy every year to reduce the dissatisfaction of these frustrated people with the imperial court, and at the same time give them hope, so that they will not be so desperate because of the failure of the scientific field, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting the long-term stability of the empire, and in addition, it can also promote the empire to be more prosperous, why not do it.Of course, Zhu Youxiao also hopes that someone in Daming can write another work like Journey to the West that will help spread the sinicization, as long as there is one, he will not be stingy with the official and silver.
