Chapter 17 Technology As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
This article is a bit awkward both in terms of conception and writing.
If Zhou Tingzhen, Zheng Yu and other famous scholars were to judge him, he might not even be able to pass the county school examination.
However, the question at the end of the article immediately caused an uproar inside and outside Yangzhou.
The first batch of Confucian scholars who saw the article habitually went to accuse the newspaper Spring Autumn Justice where the article was published.
But after discovering that he was one of the few channels in the country that could still speak out for scholars, they quickly turned the target of prosecution to the author of the article.
What made them very depressed was that the author only left a false name at the end of the article, Qingqiuzi, as usual.
Who exactly it is, there is no way to find out.
I tried every means to find the newspaper owner and the few readers who were responsible for reviewing the newspaper that day.
The latter admitted with great embarrassment that they had only read the first half of the newspaper in a hurry when they first reviewed it, so they confusedly ordered it to be published.
I never expected that Qingqiuzi was so cunning that he actually made the second half of the article go in the completely opposite direction from the first half.
What to do if you can't find the culprit?
Of course, you should immediately send an article to refute this original gift.
Fortunately, there are many people gathered in Yangzhou City at the moment, and there is no shortage of famous scholars who are skilled in pen writing.
So, on the fifth day after the publication of the original ceremony, Spring and Autumn Justice, which was supposed to be published every ten days, temporarily issued an additional issue.
The eight pages are filled with articles written by Zhou Tingzhen, Zheng Yu, Wang Han and other famous figures, citing scriptures and refuting the contents of the original ceremony one by one.
It turned out that it was better not to do this.
As soon as the newly released Spring and Autumn Justice came out, the entire scholar community was shocked.
More than 2,000 copies of the newspaper were sold out that day, and the bookstore owner quickly printed more than 3,000 more copies, but demand still exceeded supply.
Many people who cannot buy newspapers even spend a lot of money to hire students from county schools to copy them, so that they can keep a copy for their permanent collection.
After all, the writers are all celebrities in the world.
It is basically impossible for any bookstore in the world to have so many talented people write articles for them at the same time.
But Chun Qiu Zhengyi just did it, and the title concept is exactly the same.
Even if you don't support the views, you can take it home and use it as a model essay reference for your children.
In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone.
How can that issue of Spring and Autumn Justice not be sold at a high price for Yangzhou paper?
In this world, the most sensitive people to money are businessmen.
After discovering that Spring and Autumn Justice, which few people paid attention to in the past, suddenly became a hot commodity, several other private newspapers in the Huaiyang area, such as Yangtze River Anecdotes, Lianghuai Miscellaneous Affairs, etc., immediately entered the battlefield.
As a result, each newspaper organized its own manpower, copying the east and west, and topics about etiquette and benevolence emerged one after another.
It is a pity that because they are usually too focused on the streets and alleys, most newspapers are of too low taste and are difficult to get into the eyes of the great Confucians.
Therefore, I couldn't hire any famous experts at all, and the things I barely put together didn't look right.
After it was published, sales fell instead of increasing, which was really ridiculous.
Of course traders are not willing to do business that involves losing money.
Just when everyone was almost jumping up and down with regret, several newspapers simultaneously received Qingqiuzi's second article, "Speaking of Benevolence."
Compared with the previous article by Yuan Lili, the writing style of this article has been greatly improved.
And it is no longer as secretive as before, and the beginning of the chapter is to question the celebrities and scholars who are now entrenched in Yangzhou City.
The article still quotes scriptures and is written in four parallel and six-parallel sentences.
It is not easy to fully understand it.
But after excluding those complicated side references, the general meaning is simple and clear.
Confucius said: "Be responsible and do not give in to the teacher."
Therefore, as a junior, Qingqiuzi has enough reasons to compete with the famous seniors.
This is not to disrespect the teacher, nor to overestimate one's abilities, but to defend the original intention of the saint.
However, after Chunqiu Zhengyi published Qingqiuzi's original rite, it excluded Shuo Ren, which obviously betrayed the words of the saint and lived up to the name of its newspaper.
Those famous people who wrote articles in Spring and Autumn Justice to criticize Qingqiuzi, but refused to let Qingqiuzi speak out, were either timid and unreasonable, or deliberately misinterpreted the saint's classics in an attempt to make others aware of their own stupor.
After cursing the celebrities, Mr.

Su died.
Qingqiuzi changed his writing style and went straight to the topic.
Ask and answer your own questions confidently.
What is benevolence?
The sage actually said it very clearly in the Analects, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
It is extremely clear that everyone is completely equal.
According to the sage's point of view, if everyone makes the best use of their knowledge, talents, and aspirations, then the great road will prosper.
Even though he is a father, he must not restrain his son in any way, let alone anything else.
Then, Qingqiuzi used the topic again.
From the benevolence of the saint, it was extended to what the rebels were doing in Yangzhou and even the whole world.
Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.
No one is born to like to be treated like a fourth-class pariah, and no one is born to like to be enslaved.
Therefore, the uprising of the Red Turban Army was a sign of the benevolence of the saints and had irrefutable justice.
Huaiyang currently believes that all people are born equal, which is the concrete embodiment of benevolence.
"If you don't talk about equality, you can't get rid of the slave mentality.
If you don't show all sentient beings that they can be saints, you can't get rid of the retreat mentality.
Then you want to pursue the great road but there is no hope."
Everyone can be a sage, this is what the sub-sage Mencius said, and it was not the first creation of Qingqiuzi.
The sub-sage Mencius believed that "everyone can be like Yao and Shun".
There is no distinction between Yao and Shun, so all people are equal at birth.
The sage said, "There is no distinction between education" and "Those who excel in learning will become officials."
This means that under equal conditions, efforts will be different the day after tomorrow, and those who are willing to work hard will be given official positions to better promote the way of "benevolence".
In the beginning, saints did not think that anyone was born to be superior.
Letting everyone serve as officials does not mean that they can trample on their fellow clansmen at will.
The sage hopes that his disciples will get along with each other as friends.
Learn from each other's strengths and help each other on an equal footing.
Even if the sage once praised the rule of law, to take a step back, the sage's disciples and Confucian scholars are absolutely equal in the eyes of the sage.
If the disciples of a saint inherit the sage’s unique knowledge and recognize the equality between them, then there is no reason for scholars and non-Confucian disciples to enslave each other.
Sages emphasize "education without discrimination".
If all the people in the world read the books of the sages and are all disciples of the sages, then the way of equality will surely prevail and the world will be in great order.
"This, this is a timely help."
Zhou Jue, the shopkeeper of Lianghuai Miscellaneous Affairs, didn't care whether the article's views were correct or not.
Before he finished reading an article about benevolence, he realized that he had a chance to make a comeback.
Immediately, regardless of whether it was early or late, he quickly organized people to print this article on the front page of the next issue of the newspaper.
At the same time, he wrote a headline in the largest font size at the top of the newspaper.
Qingqiuzi quarreled with the Confucian scholars.
He was not the only smart person.
The next day, at the same time as the latest edition of Lianghuai Miscellaneous Affairs, four other newspapers put Shuo Ren on their front pages.
Those watching the excitement never thought it was a big deal.
After discovering that several newspapers were launching a group attack on Spring and Autumn Justice at the same time, many ordinary people who were originally not interested in this topic also took out their spare money to buy a newspaper to find out what happened. .
Everyone was confused and couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong.
But it is undeniable that Qingqiuzi's original li and Shuo Ren and famous scholars' articles refuting him spread throughout Huaiyang at the same time.
And following the footsteps of traders and newspapers, it quickly spread throughout the world.
And in the Analects of Confucius, "Don't worry about few but worry about inequality; don't worry about poverty but worry about insecurity.
There will be no poverty for everyone, harmony without widows, and peace without leaning."

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
"There is no education but no one."
Famous sayings such as "kind", as well as aphorisms such as "Everyone can be like Shun Yao" in Mencius, "The king treats his ministers like grass and grass, and his ministers will regard him as a bandit", etc., also quickly became widely known with another interpretation.
"The crime of misinterpreting the meaning of the saint should be punished, and should be punished."
In the upper room of the largest inn in Yangzhou City, Mr.
Shishan Zheng Yu was rubbing a copy of Lianghuai Miscellaneous Affairs, wishing to rub Qingqiu Zi's body out of the newspaper , and then hacked to death on the spot according to the old practice of "Master punishes Shaozhengmao".
"Be punished, be punished" "He must be found, identified, and then tied to the Confucius Temple and executed."
"The proprietors and owners of these newspapers must also be investigated to the end."
Second-level famous scholars such as Boyan Zizhong, Cao Yanke, and Han Yin were all gearing up and furious.
If this happened outside Huaiyang, everyone could definitely bring the newspaper owner and owner to the government, and then force them to find out who Qingqiuzi was and lynching him.
Afterwards, instead of pursuing the case, the government would think that they had defended the right path of Confucianism and praise them generously.
In Huaiyang, it is difficult to realize everyone's wishes.
First of all, the connections behind them are beyond their reach.
Secondly, those men in black who keep walking around the streets will never tolerate any lynching happening under their noses. , "The most abominable thing is that Spring and Autumn Justice."
Suddenly, someone turned his sword and went straight behind everyone.
"If it hadn't published Qingqiuzi's article first, how could we be in such a dilemma?"
As the saying goes, one word can awaken a dreamer.
Everyone felt betrayed instantly, and almost everyone was furious.
If Chunqiu Zhengyi was not negligent, everyone would not write articles to refute Qingqiuzi.
And Qingqiuzi's fallacy will not be spread to everyone as it is now.
It is impossible for unfashionable tabloids such as Lianghuai Affairs and Yangtze River Anecdotes to find opportunities to fish in troubled waters.
"Then, how could Chun Qiu Zhengyi be negligent?
He was clearly fooling us for money."
After someone suddenly woke up, he followed the same train of thought and quickly came to an astonishing conclusion.
So far, apart from Qingqiuzi, the culprit, the one who has gained the most is undoubtedly the boss behind Chun Qiu Zhengyi.
Without spending a single penny to polish his writing, he invited so many celebrities to write for him.
Spring and Autumn Justice went from a struggling state to one of the three major newspapers in Huaiyang in the blink of an eye.
The most abominable thing is that the newspaper owner was ungrateful and openly declared that in the next few issues, they would publish and publish articles by famous scholars and Qingqiuzi and his supporters at the same time.
I will never again easily give someone a thumbs up and ruin the reputation of the newspaper and all the talented people.
"If I hadn't waited, how could it have come back to life?"
"When you say you don't give others a handle, you obviously want me and Qingqiuzi to continue arguing forever so that he can reap the benefits."
"Damn it, his heart deserves to be punished" "Be punished, be punished" In an instant, everyone found the second target who deserved to be slaughtered.
They wanted to pull out their knives immediately and cut him into pieces.
"Of course he deserves to be punished for his crime, but now that we are in a bandit den, it is better not to act rashly, lest we fall into the trap of Butcher Zhu like last time."
Zhou Tingzhen, a famous scholar in the scholarly world, is slightly older and comes from a relatively humble background, so he thought Get more.
He cupped his hands in front of the furious crowd and whispered a reminder.
"Uh."
When everyone heard this, they first glared at him.
Immediately, he remembered the scene where the old Confucian Wang Feng was so angry that he vomited blood.
At that moment, Butcher Zhu did nothing and just let them do whatever they wanted.
And in the end, they ended up humiliating themselves Could it be that this was another trick of Butcher Zhu?
In an instant, a chill came from behind everyone.
It must be that Butcher Zhu is cunning and scheming.
He is probably waiting for everyone to be unable to bear it anymore and take the initiative to violate Huaiyang's countless harsh laws.
Then he can arrest and punish everyone, and his name will be justified.

Bah, why don't you sin because of your words?
That's bullshit.
There is no difference between finding so many newspapers to besiege everyone and provoking them to take action first, and being a sinner just because of words.
"Indeed, we must not act rashly" "Of course, Butcher Zhu likes to claim to be fair and just.
As long as I don't get fooled, he will still have to worry about his face."
"At this time, the best strategy is to remain unchanged in response to changes and wait for the opportunity."
Many people present, such as the old Confucian Wang Han and the talented boy Yan Shouzhong, had been in the officialdom and were familiar with the harmful methods used by the government.
After pondering for a moment, he added one after another.
"How long will it take?"
"What are you afraid of?
If you die, you will die."
There were also many strong-willed people waving their arms in rebuttal.
They can neither scold the thieves in person, nor make the local people understand what justice is, and they still watch the money in their pockets flowing out every day.
Their patience has been exhausted to the limit.
So I would rather give up everything I have in order to gain a name in history.
"It won't take long.
Next month, the observatory will be completed.
By then, Butcher Zhu will definitely go to Jiangnan."
Mr.
Shishan Zheng Yu thought for a while and said through gritted teeth.
"Jiqing is a new place, and the people have not been fooled by Zhu Butcher.
And close to Jiqing, there is Wuyue.
Half of the world's talented people live here.
I don't believe it.
I heard that Zhu Butcher distorted the words of the saint, but they all Everyone is indifferent."
"What did Mr.
Shishan say?"
The talented and famous people were slightly startled and asked hesitantly.
"While we are arguing with Qingqiuzi, we can run around and contact our colleagues.
Let's go to the celebration together and wait for work.
If that Zhu Butcher doesn't come, that's it.
If he comes, let him give an explanation to the scholars all over the world on the spot."
Master Mr.
Shan Zheng Yu continued to sneer, and several cold gleams slowly emerged in his eyes.
"That's not right.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
Once Butcher Zhu is forced into a desperate situation, he may bleed and become a pestle."
Zhou Tingzhen, an old scholar, was startled and reminded him in a low voice.
"Butcher Zhu is the richest man in the world, and he has the power to win over people's hearts.
If he doesn't bleed, there will be no chance for people in the world to recognize his true face."
Mr.
Shishan Zheng Yu nodded, with a hint of self-sacrifice on his face. of determination.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, I will never hide behind others.
If it doesn't bleed, that's it.
If it bleeds, it will start with Zheng."
