My Daming New Empire

As for the establishment of Shinrikyo missionary sites and county branches, Zhu Zhanji is going to hand over to Xuanzhen to take charge.

As long as the imperial court gives an order, Zhu Zhanji believes that most Taoist temples will immediately change their ways and join the Shinri religion.

However, Zhu Zhanji entrusted Yi Qingzi to be responsible for the general outline of Taoism, which can be regarded as a balance of power.

This kind of general outline is to convene people with Taoism from all over the country, and then select and refine all the knowledge about ideas and theories in Taoist scriptures such as "Book of Changes" and "Tao Te Ching", so that it is more in line with royal rule and social development. .

In addition to them, Zhu Zhanji will also select various science talents from Xiamaqiao to join the sect.

He doesn't want to make this sect godlike, but wants to turn this sect into new schools.Learn ancient Chinese, mathematics, history, physics, and chemistry.

Relying on Taoism is just to find the root of spiritual belief for everyone, not to make people superstitious.

People cannot be without faith, because the ignorant have no fear, and the fearless are crazy.

In later generations, why the whole world fears China, one reason is that the government is powerful, and the other reason is that most of the people are non-believers.

If you have nothing to fear in your heart, who knows where your bottom line is?

For example, Arab women are generally not allowed to marry foreigners. Even if they marry, they must marry scripture holders.

That is, you can marry a Christian because they are also religious, but you cannot marry a non-believers unless you are also religious.

Because religious beliefs can be observed, and Westerners generally have beliefs, they carry forward this as a universal value.

In Zhu Zhanji's view, this is an expression of extreme ignorance, but because people have the right to speak and standards, they use this method to contain you.

In Zhu Zhanji's view, this belief is not necessarily a religious belief. Confucianism's benevolence, righteousness and integrity, and Mohism's great love are all beliefs, and freedom and democracy are also beliefs.

A truly good faith, first and foremost, must conform to the interests of the people.

See if this belief is conducive to the progress of society; whether it is conducive to improving the scientific and cultural level of society; whether it is conducive to improving the happiness of the people; whether it is conducive to the stability of the country.

These are the ones that really matter.

In today's era, if you want to curb Confucianism, you must have ideas that can replace Confucianism.

This is not only to continue to control the people, but also to enlighten the wisdom and tell the people in which direction they should develop.

It was overthrown just to get Confucianism, and there was no replacement subject, so what about the imperial examinations in the future?What is the channel of development for the people to rise?

This is the center of the development of the whole society and the source of stable order. Without these, the whole society will be in chaos.

In the stable social environment of later generations, people change their destiny through knowledge, but in fact they just change the soup but not the medicine.

The absence of Confucianism is also because Lao Ma’s scholarship has been developed to a certain extent.

But even so, after several decades, the country still had to pick up many things of Confucianism, because Lao Ma's theory was not perfect.

Taoism has a mass foundation, and Taoism's theories are in fact comparable to Confucianism in politics, culture, economy, mathematics, and other aspects.

Especially the integration of the three religions in the early Ming Dynasty, so that Confucianism and Taoism have me in you, and you in me.Zhu Zhanji does this, starting from this aspect, will not cause too many social conflicts.

It is impossible to move out the Mohist School and the Zajia now, because the common people don't know what the Mohist and the Zajia are.

Therefore, it is the correct way to still use Confucianism and Taoism as the main body, and fill the knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry into the Confucian classics.

No matter how powerful you are at studying Confucianism, you are at best a historian and a master of Chinese studies.

But for thousands of years, such people have been the leaders and administrators of the country.They were influenced by officialdom, and finally became black-hearted politicians one by one.

It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have professional and technical officials, but professional and technical officials could only be officials, only small officials, and could not hold power at all.

If you want to change all of this, you just start with the adjustment of officials, which is just changing the soup but not the medicine.

Everything can only be changed from the knowledge structure.

In the future, the Ministry of Households will not be able to settle accounts, officials who do not know how to count will not be used, officials from the Ministry of Officials will not be used if they do not understand the royal mind, and officials from the Ministry of War will not be used if they do not know how to march and fight. If this persists, it will take up to 20 years for Daming to go on the right path. path of.

Join now to abolish the imperial examinations and overthrow Confucianism, which will only cause chaos in the world.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhu Zhanji picked up a pencil and prepared to write them all down.

Tao Chang's voice came from outside. "Crown Princess, please allow your servant to inform His Highness..."

This sentence is actually a notice, Zhu Zhanji told people not to disturb him, but the princess is his mother, and Tao Chang dared not stop him.

Mrs. Zhang brought Sun Xian and several servants and maids to the door of the study. "You wait outside, don't disturb."

"Yes……"

A group of people dispersed, Tao Chang looked at Zhu Zhanji, saw him secretly waved his hand, and then left too.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and turned away from the desk. "The concubine mother is here at this time, but do you have something to tell the child?"

When his eyes turned to Sun Xian, Sun Xian didn't dare to look at him and lowered her head.

Mrs. Zhang asked softly: "What is Lan Liangdi's intention of taking over your Xiamaqiao research institute? How can she, a girl, show her face in public? Doesn't she lose my royal dignity?"

Zhu Zhanji did not hide this matter, and it is not surprising that Zhang and Sun Xian knew about it.

Although Zhu Zhanji respected Zhang Shi, he didn't want to argue with her over differences in ideas, because it was impossible to explain clearly.

When he came back, he had already communicated with Lan Yan, and he dealt with everyone with the words of Doumu Niangniang's reincarnation.

Although this matter cannot be publicized to the whole world under Yiqingzi's analysis, it is just right to deal with Zhang and the others.

With this kind of rhetoric, and letting Lan Yan show something extraordinary, these women will not become troublesome.

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth and said: "Yesterday Lan Liangdi was reincarnated by Empress Doumu to plead for her. Empress Doumu favored her and taught her unique skills. These unique skills are unprecedented in my Ming Dynasty and can make my Ming Dynasty completely reborn."

Both Zhang and Sun Xian were shocked, and looked at Zhu Zhanji and shouted in surprise: "What!"

Chapter 80 Disputes

(The belief in the last chapter is that I did not write it clearly. The previous chapter is from the perspective of white people, not my perspective. It has been revised.)

Fooling Zhang and Sun Xian is just a trivial matter for Zhu Zhanji.Due to the limitations of the times, they couldn't understand the importance of what Zhu Zhanji and Lan Yan were going to do.

They were just worried that Zhu Zhanji would reuse Lanyan because he had other thoughts.Zhang wanted to persuade her for stability, and she was very satisfied with Sun Xian, not to mention that Sun Xian gave birth to the eldest prince Zhu Qizhen.

Sun Xian was worried that Lan Yan would threaten her status, which would have a great impact on her prestige.

But Zhu Zhanji knew that Lan Yan's eyes were never in the palace. She kept hinting that what Zhu Zhanji wanted was freedom and safety.

The palace is too small for her, and she doesn't want to live like a prison for the rest of her life.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji talked vaguely with Zhang and Sun Xian for a while, adding a sense of mystery, before speaking again. "Lan Liangdi is Liangdi, and this will not change in the future, but Empress Doumu is reincarnated, and she needs to go out to preach more, so she will work more at Xiamaqiao in the future, and will not threaten your status in the palace. .”
