- "Your Majesty, what Mr. Xu and Mr. Li said is true~"
"The new learning is a crooked way and is not worthy of the Tao. Only our Confucianism is the right way and the way to stabilize the country and govern the country."
"With the rise of new learning, our Confucianism will decline. If things continue like this, the righteousness will collapse, the country will be in turmoil, all human ethics and morality will be lost, and our Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must strictly prohibit new learning, vigorously support and encourage our Confucian righteousness, rectify the original source, and restore our bright world of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, the new disciples do not learn to be loyal to the emperor, and do not know etiquette, justice and integrity. The lessons they teach are all tricks and tricks, which make people lazy and slippery. They should be strictly prohibited."
"".
*com Ù·. One minister after another stood up, and each regarded the new learning as a wild beast that seemed to be destroying the Ming Dynasty.
"I wish I could completely overthrow the new learning now, so that they can keep their Confucianism, rectify its origins, and the Ming Dynasty can proudly continue to prosper and prosper.
Liu Jin looked carefully at the ministers who stood up one by one. These ministers were not of high rank, that is, officials of fourth or fifth rank. They also had one characteristic: they were all older.
牺如 xindingdianxsw.com 牺ࣳ 4&# 12290 In addition, these officials all have another characteristic, that is, they are traditional gentry. Their families have a lot of land, and they used to live a good life by collecting rent from tenants.
However, with the rapid development of capitalism and colonialism, they did not have time to keep up with the development trend of the times. They did not set up factories or actively set up plantations overseas.
To put it simply, it is the dividend of the new era. They have not tasted a bite, but their original foundation has been completely impacted by the new era.
I own a large amount of land, but I can¡¯t find anyone to farm it for me. My family doesn¡¯t receive much rent from rent. It¡¯s no longer possible to maintain a decent life through rent as before.
Therefore, he is also the person who has always been opposed to new learning, capitalism and overseas colonization.
In their view, the Ming Dynasty should return to the way it was before, immersed in the beauty of the Ming Dynasty, and the farmers should be tied to the land, cultivating the land for them for generations, and working as cattle and horses for them.
What they need to do is also very simple, that is, study, take the exam for merit, and at the same time, when they have money, they continue to annex land, own more land, and collect more rent.
This is the life they hope and are familiar with, rather than opening factories or establishing colonies overseas. These are too strange and unfamiliar to them, and they are afraid, opposed, unwilling to accept them, and even To snuff it out.
It is said that they are against new learning, but as more and more ministers come forward, there is a faint trend towards opposing the establishment of factories, workshops, immigration and overseas colonization.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the scale and number of factories should be limited. The number and scale of factories are increasing. A large number of farmers have left the land to work in factories, resulting in a large amount of fertile farmland in the south of the Yangtze River. Originally, Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, but this year, the grain production in Jiangnan has dropped significantly."
¡°The fertile land is deserted and uncultivated, and there are a large number of profit-seeking people who use it to plant mulberry leaves to raise silkworms to make huge profits. There are also businessmen who use the fertile land to plant tea, cotton, mulberry, hemp, etc.¡±
"If things go on like this, Jiangnan, which was originally the land of fish and rice, will no longer produce a grain of grain, let alone other places. At that time, our Ming Dynasty will face an unprecedented famine, the country will be shaken, and the society will be in turmoil."
Some officials from the south of the Yangtze River sadly mentioned to Emperor Hongzhi the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. The land was uncultivated and was either barren or used to grow various things. In their view, growing food was the foundation. Planting other things is a waste of land.
Hearing that the official said that the number and scale of factories should be limited, some big shots in the DPRK and China finally couldn't sit still, especially those officials who had only begun to invest in factories and workshops in recent years.
"Your Majesty, I think this is wrong~"
Ji Zhongli, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up. He was also a traditional official at the beginning. However, in the past two years, his sons also invested in several factories. The business was very good, and the money they earned was more than what they had earned through renting. Much, much more.
When he heard someone talking about limiting the number and scale of factories, he immediately became anxious. If you oppose new learning, just oppose new learning. Well?Limiting the number and scale of factories, wouldn't this be digging into Emperor Hongzhi's pocket?
What¡¯s more, these people still want to bring people back to the countryside to farm and repeat what has been repeated for thousands of years?
This is absolutely unacceptable to Emperor Hongzhi, and he will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Zhang said is true~"
"Although some people are in high positions in temples, they don't know the sufferings of the people. They even threaten to drive people back to the land to farm for them and let them collect rent."
¡°Then these farmers lived a life without enough food and clothing.¡±
"They are opposed to the new learning. They feel that the things taught by the new learning are all tricks and dirty tricks, which will make the people lazy and unwilling to work. So I think they should be allowed to taste the hard work and go to work. Experience the hardships of farming, instead of opening your mouth when you reach for clothes, pick up the bowl to eat, and then put down the bowl to scold your mother."
Liu Jin stood up and expressed his attitude sonorously and forcefully. Don¡¯t you think the things taught by Xinxue are useless?
Didn¡¯t you say that you want to bring people back to the land to cultivate it?
Well, you can taste the taste of the land first.
"Well, what Aiqing said makes sense~"
"Well, it's the Haiqinghe Banquet anyway. All ministers of rank five or above in the court, including me, will harvest ten acres of wheat and then grind it into flour to experience the hard work of farming."
"But what I just said is that what is taught in the new school and what is learned in a blink of an eye are all fancy tricks. They are dirty ministers. They must use the most traditional methods to harvest wheat and grind flour. After all, you can't be lazy and slippery. People must be diligent. That¡¯s fine, using machines will make people lazy.¡±
Mi He Mi. When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately laughed and issued the decree immediately
