Chapter 216 Fifth Gate: Miscellaneous Studies!
The whole place was silent.
Liu Sanwu, who was trying to argue earlier, also chose to shut up at this moment.
This is the slide they can't touch.
To a certain extent, Xia Zhibai’s idea has advantages and disadvantages.
On the plus side, naturally, tortures such as "Killing the Nine Tribes" and "Sitting Together" may be curbed, which will make many officials secretly relieved. At the same time, Xia Zhibai is also intentionally tightening the rights of officials so that officials can no longer be so blatant. Perform lynching.
On the whole, it is loosening the bonds of the people of the world.
Tightening up the ruler.
The specific pros and cons vary from person to person.
At least as far as they are concerned, although what they say is unpleasant, if they are more standardized, there will be no harm to them. At least His Majesty will not shout at them to kill them when he is angry, so their lives can be somewhat guaranteed. , but they also know that no matter how Xia Zhibai regulates it, it cannot be regulated by His Majesty.
But what if?
Zhu Biao frowned slightly outside the attic.
He was actually very unhappy when he heard Xia Zhibai's words earlier.
How can Xia Zhi be allowed to talk about what is right and wrong when doing things in public affairs?
In particular, Xia Zhibai boldly 'denied' the imperial decree, and even tried to pull the imperial decree down. Even he did not dare to think about such a bold thing, and he felt strange in his heart. , where did Xia Zhibai get the courage to dare to pursue the idea of "Da Gao"?
That was my father's most proud work.
Every year I would rather cut down on food and clothing, but also spread the word throughout the world.
In today's world, if you cannot memorize the "Great Imperial Order", you will be punished. Xia Zhibai not only has no respect for the "Great Imperial Order", but even wants to give the "Great Imperial Order" to Pull him down, if his father knew about this, he might be very angry.
After listening to Xia Zhibai’s explanation, Zhu Biao couldn’t help but think deeply.
My father wrote the "Da Gao", and he actually knew the reason.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to make his subjects fearful and not dare to commit minor offenses by issuing the "Great Edict", but in fact it did not achieve the desired effect.
My father even complained not long ago.
“As soon as the Great Edict comes out, the evil people think otherwise and continue to do the same thing.”
But as Xia Zhibai said, the punishments in the “Great Edict” are higher than those in the “Great Ming Law” , and its effectiveness is greater than that of the "Da Ming Code". Although the father's original intention was to severely punish the crimes of his subjects, make up for the shortcomings of the law, and by the way, use it to popularize the law in the world, but it backfired and it was still difficult to quickly popularize and penetrate into the hearts of the people in a short period of time.
Because of the long-term laxity of laws and regulations in the Yuan Dynasty, local officials and people had a wait-and-see attitude towards whether it could be implemented effectively.
"Da Gao" now seems more like a threat.
It is a combined version.
But because my father valued it too much, he allowed 'Special Criminal Laws' such as the "Da Gao" to override the "Da Ming Code", resulting in today's top-heavy situation. However, local officials saw that their father They attached great importance to the great imperial edicts and used them to punish crimes and punishments, causing local people to complain.
Xia Zhibai is probably the only one in the world who dares to question so directly.
Zhu Biao sighed: "Xia Zhibai, you are really giving me a headache. When you go back later, how will you give me an explanation to my father?"
"But what Xia Zhibai mentioned is that it is indeed a good way to publicize the Ming Dynasty laws and imperial edicts through educating scholars."
"Nowadays, most of the people who can afford to read have certain The status of these people in families with property is not low, and they are more likely to be targeted by local officials. If these people are the first to rise up against it due to injustice, it will be more immediate than issuing the "Da Gao" according to Ben Xuanke."
< br>"And scholars are the cornerstone of the world."
"Let them learn the morality and legal system of our Ming Dynasty, and it may not be able to ignite the fire of justice in their hearts."
"For the people It is not necessary to speak up for the people.”
Zhu Biao nodded.
He deeply agrees with the inclusion of Taoism in teaching materials.
The other side.
Seeing that other bachelors were too timid to speak, Xia Zhibai secretly shook his head.
The ideological dogma of these bachelors is too serious.
Even if you have your own ideas, you don't dare to express them in public.
Xia Zhibai said: "As for the last subject, I listed it as miscellaneous subjects, which covers everything. In a sense, it can be regarded as used to increase knowledge, and also contains some thoughts and explorations about the current development. , the content of miscellaneous studies is very complicated, and only by thinking more can we have new ideas and make certain breakthroughs on the basis of the existing ones. ”
“Since the Song Dynasty”
“Confucianism has reached a bottleneck.”
“In the late Song Dynasty, there were Confucian scholars who discovered a problem.”
"It is the old production system that has begun to show a mismatch between productivity and production relations."
"Confucian scholars spent a lot of time studying, but it was always difficult to solve this problem, and they were always thinking about it. Methods, rather than assigning problems to directions, and miscellaneous studies are to emancipate the mind and make certain explanations and understandings of some current things based on contemporary actual conditions."
"For example, force, heat. , light, sound, and lightning.”
“At the same time, in medicine, why can a few medicines be used together to cure diseases?”
“What is the reason?”
"There is also sand. If you continue to subdivide it into subdivisions, what can you see after subdividing it further? And why does iron rust, copper rusts, and sometimes not?"
“The purpose of miscellaneous studies is to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.” “You must have the courage and courage to discover and explore the world, as well as vision.”
“In the concept of governing the country On the other hand, the imperial court will still adhere to the principle of "Confucianism on the outside and laws on the inside", but in other aspects, it is necessary to relax certain restrictions and effectively solve and answer some questions. This is necessary for the Ming Dynasty to see the future development principles clearly. "
“I have had contact with many engineers.”
“Many of them only know how to do it, but don’t know why they do it?”
“This shouldn’t be done.”
“Only by clarifying its core and essence, can Ming Dynasty truly Only by making improvements can we make significant improvements in the existing situation. Bachelors of the Ming Dynasty should have a spirit of exploration. They should not only have the ability to do things, but also want to understand why this is the case. ”
"I have reason to believe that if Ming Dynasty straightens out all this, Ming Dynasty's development will be rapid."
"Because the steam engine is an example."
"Now that steam-driven salt production is on the right track, it won't be long before it can be spread all over the world."
"The Ming Dynasty is short of people, but the emergence of steam engines can greatly reduce the need for manpower. needs, if Ming Dynasty also makes breakthroughs in other aspects, perhaps relying on the current situation, Ming Dynasty can make everyone in the world have food and clothing."
"It's just this way. It’s not easy.”
“It requires collective efforts”
“Turn some experience into lines for future generations to innovate.”
"So miscellaneous studies are just an exploration and thinking."
"A kind of enlightenment."
"It can also be used as a little entertainment under the heavy study."
"It's nothing but Ming Dynasty. After all, there are tens of millions of people. If one person accumulates a few breakthroughs, it may not be long before Ming Dynasty's understanding of the world will have a huge breakthrough. By then, it will be possible to reach the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the five oceans. "
Xia Zhibai smiled affectionately, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
The others looked at each other.
All they heard was that they were not doing their jobs properly.
Studying should focus on studying knowledge. If you don’t have some of these, aren’t you giving up on yourself?
Although they disapproved of this in their hearts, and even sneered at it, among the things Xia Zhibai said before, which one is not more deviant than this one?
They were too lazy to talk any more, otherwise they would be completely disgraced by Lai Xia Zhibai's refutation.
Moreover, if Xia Zhibai's idea is adopted by His Majesty, these five courses will be taught in all schools in the world in the future, and their children will probably be enrolled in them, and these miscellaneous subjects will widen the gap. place?
Others are fascinated when they see these colorful flowers. Under their supervision, their children can concentrate on their studies.
Only then can the scientific examination stand out from thousands of students.
Even.
They also want Xia Zhibai to learn more miscellaneous subjects.
They also heard Xia Zhibai's ambition and ambition.
He wants to reshape the world’s education system, he also wants to reshape the world’s understanding of the law, he also wants to reshape the world’s understanding of the Ming Dynasty, and he also wants to keep the world’s people in a state of mind that seeks knowledge and exploration. , this change is actually very positive and positive.
But.
This change is too big.
It’s so big that no one in the world can react.
Everything was torn down and started all over again.
They could even foresee how disreputable Xia Zhibai's reputation would become and how notorious it would become when the imperial court issued a decree. But perhaps this was Xia Zhibai, from the time when he first showed his talents. It showed enough ignorance and fearlessness, but now it just goes one step further.
And Xia Zhibai’s set of things may not be able to be implemented.
Xia Zhibai can argue with them, but can he win against other scholars in the world?
How many people’s interests in the world will be affected by this?
There were not only scholars, but also officials, many landowners, gentry, and even some craftsmen.
Xia Zhibai is an enemy of the world. He seems to be righteous and selfless, but if it arouses public resentment, Bao Qi will be like "Wu Yong" who interrogated Guo Huan's case. In order to calm the public resentment, His Majesty , causing Xia Zhibai to end up with his body and head missing.
Seeing that the bachelors did not refute, Xia Zhibai was a little surprised.
After thinking about it for a moment, I understood the reason.
He has abandoned traditional Confucianism from the beginning, and now it is just more blatant.
Liu Sanwu and other bachelors could not argue before, and now they would not ask for trouble. Moreover, they came from the bottom of their hearts and did not think that their ideas were approved by the court, so they just let it go.
Xia Zhibai shook his head, happy to see this.
These old scholars are indeed very knowledgeable, but their views are also extremely conservative and feudal. It is simply impossible and unrealistic to want them to change their old views. It is already very good if they can not refute them. , he just wanted to borrow their knowledge this time.
At this moment.
A drake's voice sounded outside the attic.
The sound is very thin and penetrating.
"Quiet!"
"His Royal Highness is here!"
