Shen Gai was furious at Zhang Shi's bold remarks that offended the ancients.
He even felt that what Zhang Shi violated was not himself or the ancients, but the entire inheritance.
So he was furious.
"The Chinese lineage has been passed down from ancient times to the present. It all depends on the ancestors' establishment of the law and the teachings of the saints. The saints' teachings have brought blessings for thousands of years, and now we are here! When we arrived in the Ming Dynasty, we had to deviate from the teachings of our ancestors. The Ming Dynasty was strong for a while, but it was not far from falling apart. !
What bullshit representatives of the masses, what bullshit scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, they are all false! If people do not consider themselves, they will perish in an instant! This plan of the Ming Dynasty is destined to be impossible to succeed! Zhang Jingfu, can’t you see the reality clearly? What on earth are you thinking? "
"You have never experienced it or personally participated in it, so you assert that the Ming Dynasty will definitely fail. Mr. Shen, you are so arrogant."
Zhang Shi shook his head and sighed: "The Chairman once said to me that weakness is never an obstacle to survival, arrogance is. Weak people have their own way of survival, and small countries also have their own ways of living.
Xixia had both sides, Dali was in a corner, Goryeo took the initiative to declare itself a vassal, and Japan was alone overseas. These were all ways for a weak to survive. Only arrogance and arrogance were hopeless. "
After Shen Gai heard this, he was very angry.
Why can Su Yonglin prepare a rebuttal in advance for anything he says?
Could it be that Su Yonglin had anticipated everything he said?
Is he a man or a god?
Is he really a man from heaven?
Am I fighting against normal humans?
Shen should not understand.
But Zhang Shi understands it very well.
"Although I have never seen the so-called mass representatives with my own eyes, and the Ming Dynasty only tried it, but the Ming Dynasty obviously considered a lot, not just the contribution, but not the interests. Whether it is workers or officials, as long as there is promotion Systematically, Ming Dynasty will have similar standards for recognition, rewards and priority promotion.
If you do good things, you will have very direct benefits within the system, you will be promoted first, you will be respected and envied by everyone, and you can become a representative of the masses and go directly to the Central Capital to discuss state affairs, and you will naturally have status. and the right to speak.
This kind of status and voice does not come from conspiracy, nor does it come from burning, killing, looting, violent attacks, nor does it come from family and blood inheritance, but from contribution and labor. It is a very honorable thing. The status and voice generated in this way , completely different from the past. "
Shen Gai was quite surprised by this, but soon sneered again and again.
He never agrees with Su Yonglin's ideas and his methods of doing things.
He absolutely does not believe that a group of mud-legged people can do anything "good" that meets his wishes.
So he can naturally find what he sees as loopholes.
"In this way, everyone wants to do good things, so you are not afraid of doing bad things in order to do good things? The ancients governed the country with filial piety, but how many weird jokes resulted? Lying on the ice to ask for a carp, Guo Ju buried his son ...How absurd. Did the Ming Dynasty really think that this was a perfect method?
You see, Su Yonglin is self-righteous and thinks that this is a perfect solution. Then a lot of strange and good things will happen soon, all kinds of unbelievable good things, and then he will be ready to clean up the mess! "
To be fair, what Shen Gai said was not wrong, but it was still the same sentence.
What he can think of, can others not think of?
We are not stupid.
So Zhang Shi shook his head and didn't care about Shen Gai's thoughts.
"There is no foolproof method. Ming Dynasty will also have problems if they do this. They themselves know it. The chairman wrote about this matter in detail in his letter to me. Ming Dynasty will also have quite detailed regulations on this and will fully draw on the ancients. Lessons."
"That's nice to say!"
"But it's also really beautiful."
Zhang Shi sighed: "My lord, isn't it better to do this than what we do? Hasn't my lord really thought about whether it has more advantages or disadvantages? On the one hand, everyone is willing to do good deeds, and they can be rewarded for doing good deeds. honor.
Doing good deeds is a matter of honor, something that can be praised, and something that will be considered legitimate by people. In such a society, those who do good deeds are not fools. Even if it is done out of profit considerations, there are benefits to doing good deeds.
But what about inside Hangzhou? Who are the people who do good things? In other words, is there anyone still willing to do good things? Is there anyone else who is willing to selflessly help others through difficult times? Will the court reward them? Will it make them feel that doing good is the right thing to do? "
Seeing the sneer on Shen Gai's face gradually disappear, Zhang Shi followed up and punched him hard.
"The Ming Kingdom, where everyone is willing to do good deeds and help others, and the Jiangnan Kingdom, where everyone only cares about themselves, who is the final winner? Which society is closer to the ancients' ideal of a harmonious society? Which one is the dream of our generation of scholars? Central wish?”
There was no sneer on Shen Gai's face, only embarrassment and unhappiness remained.
A country that openly criticizes Confucianism and destroys its symbol, Confucius, is actually shaping Datong society.
And a country that respects Confucianism and Confucius seems to be still a little far away from the Datong society.
Who is right and who is wrong?
Who is the final winner?
Does the answer still need to be considered?
Of course Shen shouldn't just admit defeat like this.
He held up his face and said: "The Ming Dynasty is all good things, so there are no bad things? If there are no bad things, then why did Su Yonglin clean up corrupt officials on a large scale twice? There were corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty too! What do you think the Ming Dynasty is? Heaven on earth?”
"It is precisely because of corrupt officials that the Ming Dynasty appears real. It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty never avoids such problems and works hard to solve them that it makes the Ming Dynasty valuable."
Zhang Shi spread his hands: "Of course, I don't know exactly what the Ming Dynasty was like. I have never lived in the Ming Dynasty, nor have I seen it with my own eyes. I have been busy doing business in Hangzhou in the past few years. Waiting After this matter is over, I would like to apply to work in the north for a period of time to experience the reality of the Ming Dynasty firsthand."
Shen Gai was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily.
"You don't know anything and yet you are so willing to work for the Ming Dynasty and become a traitor to the Song Dynasty? Zhang Jingfu, are you naive or stupid? Aren't you worried that they are lying to you? They say they are so selfless, but in fact You know what it’s like?”
"I have never seen what the countryside and cities of the Ming Dynasty looked like, but I have seen with my own eyes what the Ming Dynasty's army looked like."
Zhang Shi smiled and said: "Officers do not beat or scold soldiers, there is no physical punishment or lynching, soldiers do not belong to officers, officers do not have the power of life and death, soldiers have enough food and clothing, everyone has a ruddy complexion, and there is no food on their faces.
What we eat and drink every day will be announced in advance by military leaders. The amount of food expenses used will also be announced one by one. Anyone can check it. There will be an audit every month. The audit results will also be announced to the entire army, and the remaining food expenses will be paid. It will definitely be useful to hold a military party or commendation meeting.
In addition to military training, soldiers also have courses in reading and calligraphy. They learn Hongwu political theory, military common sense, arithmetic, astronomy and geography, and some knowledge that I have never heard of. There is also a bonfire party in the evening with a group of people. They get together to sing, dance, and tell jokes, and the relationship is harmonious and fun.
They all come from different places. As far as I know, some are from Liaodong, some are from Shandong, some are from Henan, some are from Khitan, some are from Xi, and some are from Bohai. They come from different places, and their living habits and growth environment are completely different. But we can still get along like brothers..."
Saying this, Zhang Shi couldn't help but be filled with emotion. After feeling emotional, he asked Shen Gai again.
"My husband has seen the appearance of the Song army with his own eyes. So, in your opinion, does the Ming army have more combat effectiveness, or does the Song army have more combat effectiveness? Who can win when these two armies fight? The Ming army is still like this, and its civilians and What should the imperial court look like?"
