Chapter 243: The Education of Confucianism
After discussing the matter of giving gifts and receiving gifts, the prince began to discuss national governance and humanistic education with four great scholars. Zi Yue's poem said that Zhao Xing could not get into the mouth, so he could only listen.
As they talked, Zhao Xing truly felt the urgent feeling of Zhongshan, a barbarian, eager to integrate into the Chinese cultural circle. It was this mentality that made them, the barbarians, follow the Chinese culture more Zhou people than the current Zhou people. This is like Japan today. Because of the Tang Dynasty, they maintained the most primitive etiquette and clothing of the Tang Dynasty, but China completely abandoned them.
The reason for this is that Japan, South Korea and others want to prove that they are the true inheritor of culture, but they are the authentic inheritors, but they keep pace with the times for the sake of development.
For example, the representative of the Zhongshan people in front of you, the prince concubine and concubine are like this; for example, the Chu State in the south is even more like this. They all retained the most rigorous and formal Zhou rituals, but the rituals and music of the Central Plains have collapsed.
Seeing that everyone was talking lively, Zhao Xing felt that he did not mention the purpose of his arrival, so the businessman stretched out his neck to interrupt everyone's discussion. "|Governing a country, especially a country like Zhongshan, is actually very simple, and making Zhongshan completely integrate into Chinese culture and recognized by the world is actually very simple. Half of the Analects of Confucius is enough."
As soon as the word "simple" was released, you were surprised at that time. They really didn't know what this businessman would have, so out of politeness, everyone bowed and asked.
Zhao Xing smiled and said confidently: "Conquer the world immediately, and literati rule the world. This is the foundation for a country's long-term stability, prosperity and strength."
The five people stood there blankly. After a long time, they suddenly slapped their thighs together, and the cats were all screaming.
When the prince thought about this principle, he was to prescribe the right medicine for Zhongshan. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was, and excitedly stood up and turned around: "I am unparalleled in Zhongshan, and I can be said to be the eighth most powerful country in this era. However, I blindly greedy for expanding my territory, but I cannot be supported by conquerors outside, and there are constant struggles between powerful officials inside. Seeing that they look strong on the outside, they are already in danger inside."
He said this because there was a nursery rhyme about Tian’s family’s slut in Sima Zi’s consent.
In this era, nursery rhymes best reflect the politics and major events at that time, and are also the most valued by the rulers. As the saying goes, children are free to speak rudely, so they are considered to be a warning from God.
As a result, nursery rhymes were flying all over the sky, which made Sima Zi's various actions of showing loyalty useless, and made the king who was already afraid of Sima Zi scared day and night.
Now the King's House has put all his energy into it, not according to his words, the enemy is on his side, and he forgets day and night, but has transformed into a treacherous minister, and the throne is unstable.
Sima Zi also felt that his crisis was huge, and no longer expressed his loyalty, but began to secretly make trouble.
Zhao Xing interfaced: "The reason why the people do not follow and the ministers are intriguing is that they have not implemented the teaching of the king. There are no literati to govern the world, let the people know the kindness of the king and return to their hearts, let the ministers not know the integrity and shame but only know how to fight for power and profit, do not know the principles of education and do not respect the king and despise the king. How can there not be a crisis? Once the situation develops like this, even if the Zhongshan people conquer the territory, they will only collapse in a blink of an eye. Even if they study Chinese culture hard, they will not be able to obtain the essence of education and are still barbarians."
Then he pointed outside: "The streets are messy, people don't know the rules, they run wildly, and people don't know the etiquette. When they angrily draw their swords in the street, they only know hatred but not closeness. The people do not know intimacy and unity, but they can only become a cohesive country? For example, the current mutual helper is the one who governs the world, but they do not need politeness and rules to be literati and scholars, but they only know how to fight, kill, and kill. By fighting, kill, and governing the world by fighting, kill, kill, and then they can only become more and more chaotic. Such an ending will eventually cause the so-called powerful Zhongshan to collapse in the end. Isn't it a pity? What a pity? What a pity? How painful is it?"
After talking through this, Zhao Xing expressed his true heartache for this country, and almost killed Zhongshan in the lobby.
His heartache also moved the four great scholars, and even more touched the prince's concubine. He walked to Zhao Xing, saluted with solemn rules, and then knelt down and bowed: "Listen to your words, it is better than reading for ten years. Being reminded by the teacher, it is really enlightenment and suddenly awakened. If you use your teacher's teaching to govern the country, Zhongshan will definitely be ruled and become one of the seven heroes. Mr., save Zhongshan."
If you cheat, you have to make you grateful to me. This is the real highest level of cheating.
Zhao Xing helped up his hands and smiled and said, "I am just putting forward an idea, but if you really want to educate the king, it will also require the efforts of the prince and the four great scholars. If you respect Confucianism and become king, then in three years, Zhongshan will surely be friendly and united within the country, and the people will return to your heart. Officials know the superiority and inferiority of the superiors and subordinates and are trembling with the king's power. At that time, Zhongshan will definitely rule, and the whole world will return to your heart. Who dares to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains?"
The prince, who was excited and trembling all over the body, walked to the four great scholars again and bowed deeply: "Please be my teachers, let me serve the surroundings at any time and listen to the teachings at any time."
Such a promise is equivalent to a promise that after the prince ascended the throne, they will become national teachers, and in the court, they will be guest officials. Wow, the Confucian school, there are not many people who can become national teachers, and there are even fewer people who can become guest officials. What is more important is that they can promote Confucianism in a country, which is something Confucius traveled around the countries and failed to achieve.
Okay, we will start to promote the kingship in the first country now, and we will take up the job now.
So, the four great scholars picked up the mat and knelt on the steps of the lobby, and began to teach and answer questions to the three thousand guests.
Therefore, the four great scholars said that the prince and the three thousand disciples were drunk and infatuated, and Zhao Xingxian said that he was drowsy.
At this opening, it became a grand occasion in Zhongshan at that time. Not only three thousand visitors, but also literati from Lingshou also came to listen and ask for advice. In the end, the entire Zhongshan was even more sensational. There were endless seekers on the road. In the end, the entire conference took ten days and ten nights to temporarily come to an end.
Zhao Xing did not have ten days and ten nights, so he had to earn money from Zhongshan people in Lingshou.
Trafficking Confucianism and selling wine are a double act. Confucianism poisons the thoughts of Zhongshan people, and wine numbs them and depresses them. It harms their country and makes money. This is Zhao Xing's ideal state.
Shunfeng Inn opened grandly in the grand occasion of the prince’s presence.
The wine sold here is said to be produced from the four-pass level, but it also sells books. Confucian classics are piled up here, and the prices are outrageous, ensuring that the poorest people can have a Confucian classic they have always dreamed of.
I also sell paper stationery, but this one is a bit expensive. Of course, it doesn’t matter, because as long as you have a book, it’s enough. As for writing, can I write it on the ground with a branch?
Then, there is also a story club.
The story club is also a book, and the price is outrageous. It is full of inspirational classics. Whoever gains the great way in one day is immediately hired as an official by the court. After he has achieved success in governing the country, he is treated by the king and loved by the people and becomes a celebrity who has been passed down for generations.
A so-and-so, who studied hard all day long, was admired by a rich lady. She threw herself into her arms with a generous dowry, and finally the two got married. The lady got the person he admired, and the scholar got the rich days he had dreamed of.
Who - all the stories revolve around Confucianism, and what you finally tell you is - learn Confucianism, there is a golden house in the book, a beautiful woman in the book, and an official hat, a carriage and a horse in the book.
Invincible and expand your territory. I bastard, that's what Qiu Bajiu did. I despise you, we despise you together, and everyone in the whole country despise you.
Zhao Xing's wine became popular all over the country in a blink of an eye because Zhongshan people are good at wine. Zhongshan's wine is famous all over the world.
The Warring States Period was a Warring States Period with its own characteristics. The wine from Zhongshan, the salt and iron from Qi, the paper from Zhao, the war horses from Yan, the feathers of Chu, the weapons from Qin, the crossbows from South Korea, the armor of Wei, the historical materials of Lu, and the Zhou - Alas, Zhou's unique commodity official hats are gone, so let's forget it.
Zhao Xing's wine is better and more intense than Zhongshan, which sells the world.
