Chapter 496: The troops are divided into three groups
Although the founder of Confucianism was Confucius and he had seventy-two disciples, during the Spring and Autumn Period, these seventy-two people were regarded as honored guests by various countries, and even as generals or prime ministers of a country.
However, different factions of Confucianism emerged in later generations, which can be divided into the following main factions: Pre-Qin Confucianism The Confucian school in the pre-Qin period, represented by Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and others, advocated "benevolence", "etiquette", "moderate", "loyalty" ” and other ideas, emphasizing personal cultivation and moral norms.
Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties: The Confucian school of the Song and Ming dynasties, represented by Zhu Xi, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, Lu Jiuyuan and others, advocated ideas such as "investigating things to achieve knowledge", "sincerity and righteousness", "investigating things to achieve knowledge", and "investigating things to understand principles", emphasizing rationality and practice.
Ming and Qing Confucianism: The Confucian school of the Ming and Qing dynasties, represented by Wang Yangming, Li Zhi and others, advocated ideas such as "the heart is reason", "the unity of knowledge and action", "to develop conscience" and "to study things to gain knowledge", emphasizing personal inner experience and intuition.
There are also New Confucianism, contemporary Confucianism, etc., which mainly adapt to the new society of equality for everyone, harmonious society, etc.
Although both Confucius and Mencius belong to Confucianism in the pre-Qin period, there are still some differences between them.
Confucius paid attention to personal cultivation and moral norms, and emphasized the importance of "benevolence" and "propriety". He believed that through cultivation and observance of etiquette, people and countries can live in peace and harmony, and there will be no more wars.
He emphasized "benevolent government" and believed that the monarch should be based on benevolence and implement benevolent government to achieve social stability and people's happiness.
Mencius paid attention to the nature of human nature and social reality, believing that human nature is inherently good, but it needs to be realized through education and training.
He put forward the "theory of good nature" and the idea that "the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the monarch is the least important", emphasizing that the monarch should put the people first and use benevolence as the foundation of governing the country to achieve social harmony and people's happiness.
Simply put, Confucius focused on personal cultivation, while Mencius focused on human nature, which means that human nature is inherently good. .
The Confucianism led by Chun Yuyue is Confucian Confucianism. Because Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, Chun Yuyue's Confucianism has become the representative of Confucianism.
The Confucianism of the Mencius represents the Confucianism of Mencius. Although they cannot be regarded as representatives of Confucianism, they can still be regarded as Confucianists. They have been dormant in the dark.
People from Confucian Confucianism and Mencius Confucianism also had contacts to promote learning.
However, after Chun Yuyue became a representative of Confucianism, in order to revitalize Confucianism, his thoughts began to be biased, which was somewhat contrary to Confucius's benevolence and benevolent government.
In other words, the benevolent government in Chunyu Yue's words was only aimed at a group of nobles, but definitely not the common people of the world.
Now that Chunyu Yue has gone crazy, Fu Sheng has become a representative of Confucianism, so he and Mencius' Confucianism cooperated with each other to establish a Confucian academy.
Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of Confucian students in Confucian academies.
Mencius's Confucianism began to officially lead the way.
Ying Zheng told Fu Sheng that the Confucianism he wanted was one that was compatible with hundreds of other schools of thought and emphasized benevolence, righteousness, morality, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame.
Now that the First Emperor needs a large number of talents, Mencius and Confucianism will definitely be reused.
Meng Xifan was full of hope for the future, as if he saw people from the Meng family everywhere in the Qin Dynasty.
"Master Meng, Master Bai, eldest father." Gan Luo said, "Meng Wu has been traveling to Japan for more than two months now, and it will definitely take another two months for the news to come back.
If we wait until the news comes back to take action, we will lose the opportunity. Now that our merchant ship has returned, it is better to go directly to Japan, bring enough manpower, and make arrangements in Japan first. "
"What a good idea." A nobleman said with a smile, "Three family heads, now we need boats, people, food, and craftsmen. As long as we make arrangements in advance in Japan to dig up wasteland and build houses.
Even if His Majesty finds out in the end, he won't say anything, and he might even reward us. "
The other nobles nodded.
The purpose of their coming here is to take advantage of the three major families.
No way, who asked them to buy the largest ship, and the three companies combined probably have 16 ships.
possess
If there are so many ships from the three major families that do not help them, then these nobles will immediately change their families and will never follow each other again.
Do the three major families that have lost the support of their nobles still deserve to be called the three major families?
"Don't worry." Gan Mao said, "Since everyone supports our three families, our three families will not forget you.
But what has to be done now is for you to have ships too.
Luo Er has already said it, and His Majesty has made it clear in the court that the first is to occupy the unknown large island, and the second is to do business with the countries in the Western Regions and the Maurya Dynasty.
There are already caravans going to the countries in the Western Regions, but not to the Mauryan Dynasty. We know nothing about the Maurya dynasty.
His Majesty said that the Maurya Dynasty was as powerful as the Qin Dynasty, so it was the best partner for doing business.
I think this is very reasonable. We can not only do business, but as His Majesty said, we can inquire about the military situation, understand various situations of the Maurya Dynasty, and at the same time, we can also make plans in the Maurya Dynasty.
Don’t forget, China has gone through the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, and the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought is not easy to grasp against a mere Maurya dynasty. Therefore we should divide our forces into three groups. "
"That's right." Bai Siqi continued, "We will go to Japan all the way, to the big islands, and do business with the Maurya Dynasty all the way.
So after everyone goes back, divide your juniors and manpower into three parts, and let them follow us and divide the troops into three groups. "
"No." The nobles said at the same time.
Gan Luo saw that all the nobles wanted to go back, so he spoke again: "The imperial court is going to build an academy for hundreds of schools of thought. Regarding this matter, I hope that all the family heads will give you something."
The nobles who were about to leave stopped one after another and looked at Gan Luo.
A nobleman asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, is it because of the relationship between the emperor and the master?"
"To be precise, it is the knowledge of the Imperial Master. The academies of hundreds of schools of thought will eventually become the knowledge of the Imperial Master. To be precise, after the Imperial Master comes out of the mountain, his knowledge will be given to the academies of hundreds of schools of thought.
As long as our descendants can learn from it, then the future Great Qin will be inseparable from us.
If our children do not learn, then in the future we can only eliminate the families without my father.
So after you go back, discuss this matter carefully with your tribe. Now every child under the age of ten is a future talent.
Whichever family has more children will truly become the pillar of Da Qin in the future.
This is all I have to say. When you return home, all family heads, please think about it carefully. After Gan Luo finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and left.
Gan Mao said: "Since Luo Er has met the Imperial Master, you should consider his words carefully. If you don't have children at home, then go and have children. Whoever has more children will be able to develop the family better in the future."
After saying that, Gan Mao asked everyone to leave. All that needed to be said had been said. There was no need to stay at the house. He did not prepare dinner for everyone.
