Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

He didn't want to admit that those people were Confucian disciples. After all, most of the "Confucian classics" those people read were some heterodox teachings. However, the culture of these places was indeed very prosperous.

This has indeed strengthened the development of Confucianism and culture, and Confucianism has indeed fulfilled its responsibility of teaching and educating people.

But at the same time, Confucianism also paid a heavy price, and even Yan Hui didn't know what to say.

He didn't know whether this was right or wrong, but he couldn't do anything to stop it.

However, Yan Hui still applauded those officials, gentry and landlords who were eliminated by Zhu Houzhao.

These people are not Confucian disciples at all. They are just using Confucianism as a cover to make profits for themselves!

Confucianism does not need such people!

Such doctrines gained great recognition among Confucian disciples at the Ming Imperial Academy, who clamored for Confucianism to return to its original essence.

Now, it has become a huge force within the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty. Not only them, but in fact many of the more thoughtful Confucian scholars within the Ming Dynasty have been admitted to the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty because of this slogan.

They entered the Ming Imperial Academy not to become officials, but to study Confucianism.

Because of Yan Hui, Xunzi, the previously unknown Xuanyuan Jingcheng, and Wang Yangming, the Ming Royal Academy has now become a Confucian holy place in the minds of countless Confucian disciples.

In terms of its status in the Zongwu Continent, it is even comparable to the Little Sage Manor. If it were not for the fact that the Daming Royal Academy still has other subjects and its time foundation is still insufficient, it would not be impossible for it to squeeze out the Little Sage Manor and become the number one Confucian holy land in the Zongwu Continent.

After all, people like Yan Hui all hold a pivotal position in Confucianism, and are even immortals on earth!

How many land gods and immortals are there in the entire Confucian school?

Even Xunzi, a recognized traitor to Confucianism, when it really came to a critical moment, everyone actually acknowledged his status as the master of Confucianism.

It's heresy, but Xunzi's influence is huge, and he himself is a land immortal!

To be honest, they can also say that Confucianism is all-inclusive, and even the Legalists can actually be Confucianists.

Xunzi was a Confucian. Even today, he still admits that he is a Confucian disciple. Han Fei and Li Si were both Xunzi's disciples. No matter what doctrines they proposed, there are indeed close ties between them and Confucianism.

They are all disciples of Confucianism!

Of course, in addition to Yan Hui and others, there are now hundreds of schools of thought in the Daming Royal Academy. The Mohist disciples who were sent by the Mohist school before have now become the backbone of the Daming Royal Academy.

For example, Master Ban and his colleagues were actually thinking about Yan Dan's instructions at the beginning. They wanted to use the Ming Royal Academy to promote Mohist doctrine in the Ming Dynasty.

Enhance the influence of Mohism in Ming Dynasty!

If possible, they can develop some trusted forces, which will play an extremely important role for Yan Dan.

Master Ban and his colleagues did the same thing at the beginning, and they did not think there was anything immoral about it. After all, when Zhu Houzhao agreed to let them teach in the Ming Imperial Academy, he did not prevent them from spreading their teachings and promoting Mohism, and even allowed them to recruit Mohist disciples.

This is also one of the main reasons why they were willing to join the Ming Royal Academy in the first place.

However, as they taught in the Daming Imperial Academy, Master Ban and his colleagues discovered that it seemed that what they usually did was somewhat contrary to the Mohist doctrine.

Especially after Yan Dan became a great figure, the Mohist school seemed to be moving further and further away from its original intention.

They no longer advocated non-aggression and universal love, but instead continued to take the path of opposing Qin.

Yan Dan rebelled against Qin not because he felt that Qin was brutal, but because he wanted to restore Yan State and replace Qin.

If Yan State had the strength of Qin, Yan Dan would also lead Yan State to destroy other countries.

The struggle between countries is difficult to end, after all, they have different interest groups.

When someone gains, someone loses!

Perhaps Yan Dan never truly recognized the ideas of Mohism from the beginning to the end, but he became a leader of Mohism in order to use it. Even this time, when he came to the Ming Dynasty, Yan Dan asked them to slowly infiltrate the Ming Dynasty.

But look at what a good emperor Zhu Houzhao was!

In Master Ban's opinion, Zhu Houzhao was definitely a good emperor.

Throughout history, it seems that no emperor can compare with Zhu Houzhao.

Even Yan Dan could not do what Zhu Houzhao did. After all, many of Yan Dan's words were just verbal, but Zhu Houzhao did it directly.

Many rebels would shout slogans like "beat the landlords and divide the land", but how many people can really do it?

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao was not a rebel. He was an emperor. He could fight against the local tyrants and divide the land, and then distribute the land to ordinary people!

Of course, what Zhu Houzhao said openly was that these fields belonged to the imperial farm, but it made Zhu Houzhao the largest landlord in the world!

However, as a landlord, Zhu Houzhao collected much less land tax than those landlords.

Zhu Houzhao solved the problem of land annexation!

This is the issue that Master Ban and his colleagues are most concerned about. After all, this is also a problem that countless seemingly powerful countries will have to face in the end.

Many landlords, after becoming rich, would like to buy more land!

But this was impossible in the Ming Dynasty. After all, Zhu Houzhao was the largest landlord. Who would want to annex Zhu Houzhao's land? Did they not want to live?

After being unable to annex land, the money would flow into other areas, which also led to the gradual strengthening of Ming Dynasty's commerce.

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with this matter. He was not particularly averse to businessmen. As long as these businessmen could be honest and obedient, make money peacefully, and not make money from national disasters, Zhu Houzhao would allow them to do business.

But if these people are too reckless and try to profit from the national crisis, thinking they can hold Zhu Houzhao hostage, then I'm sorry, Zhu Houzhao will definitely kill you as soon as possible.

Merchants actually have a lot of say, and Zhu Houzhao has always been trying to weaken their say. For example, there were businessmen who wanted to run newspapers, but they were all directly banned by Zhu Houzhao.

Are you kidding? Look at how a big boss in his previous life was bragging about himself, and how crazy he was when he was in his prime. He pulled the lever, hijacked the deposits of the people across the country, held the people hostage, and arranged some marketing accounts to portray himself as a saint.
