Chapter 482 The metaphor of the blowfish

Another function of Confucian scholars is priests and priests, and their ideas dominate the mainstream thinking of society.

If the stinky shameless self-comparison is Chu, the same can continue to be divided into two factions.

One faction is "I am a barbarian, wait for me to lead a million people, and watch China's politics."

The other school is "I am a barbarian, I should read more classics, turn the barbarians into summer, and integrate into the Celestial Dynasty".

In this way, it is much simpler, each can find its own direction, but the overall independent consciousness is already at a loss.

Find a basket for complex factional thoughts, and the basket is divided into several small baskets, just enough to hold all the ideas, and it is good to hold this basket in Dashun's hands.

You can't think about finding a basket where all the chaotic factional thoughts can be thrown into the same identity. This is very unrealistic. The key is that time does not allow it.

As for which one will be the mainstream in the future, "reading more classics and integrating into the Chinese government" or "reading more classics and integrating into the celestial dynasty", it depends on whether the theoretical construction of Confucianism can be transformed into something suitable for the new era, and on the other hand. It depends on how much Dashun's force economy can surpass Japan.

Everyone admires Qiang.For the strong, farting is very reasonable, and those who admire the strong will spontaneously discuss the superiority of the strong.

Just like Dashun's official "Yongjia and Yongkang Studies" at this time, righteousness should be reflected in utilitarianism, if you can't make real achievements, then righteousness is empty talk.

The economic base determines the superstructure. The reason why Liu Yu gave Tokugawa Yoshimune the idea of ​​"removing and unifying the vassal" was not only to play tricks, but also because only Japan's economic base was the same as that of Dashun at this time. At this time, Dashun's set of values In order to perfectly export to Japan.

Dashun's road to change in the future can become the object of Japan's imitation.

At this time, the difference in the economic base of the two sides made it very likely that Japan would deviate from it and feel that it could not learn useful things from Dashun, so it might go to fully westernize.Because in terms of economic foundation, Japan is somewhat similar to the feudal system in Europe.

Either the vassal reduction was successful, and the centralization of power was like Dashun, and Dashun followed suit; or the vassal reduction failed, and the population decreased under the influence of Malthusism, and the samurai rebellion justified their own existence to promote the development of industry and commerce.

Either it will become part of the theory of the division of labor in the celestial dynasty in the system of later generations, or there will be no chance of a hero since the abolition of martial arts.

The way forward and the way back are all designed.

In addition to the economic foundation, Liu Yu used the introduction of tempura to come up with a set of metaphysical things about religious wars. With the big hat on, the Confucian scholars on the Japanese side were all breathless.

Either agree or disagree.

But in terms of mouth, neither agreeing nor disagreeing at this time.

On Songping Huizhen's side, she tried her best not to cause any further troubles, so she quickly changed the contract, sent away the great god Dashun, and let Dashun withdraw his troops in Hagi City as soon as possible.

He wanted to quickly change the topic, but he never thought that Liu Yu would choose to change the contract in Xiaguan, and he had other purposes, so he had already held back his words.

The tempura was removed, but there are other fugu dishes on the table. Shimonoseki is a good place to eat fugu.

Taking advantage of the awkward silence during the banquet, Liu Yu said again: "What I said just now is the theory of respecting Zhou and barbarians, and saying that the Celestial Dynasty protects the vassals. Don't think I'm scaremongering."

"Xiaguan is rich in puffer fish, and there has been a saying in ancient times that people would risk their lives to eat puffer fish. From my point of view, there is another thing about this puffer fish, which I want you to learn from."

In the signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in history, Shimonoseki was chosen and a fugu restaurant was chosen. Hirobumi Ito took the meaning of "eating fugu at risk of death".

Take a big gamble, if you lose, you will die, if you live, you will risk your life to eat the most delicious fugu.

But if you want to make use of the topic, how can puffer fish have more than this kind of metaphorical meaning?
What's more, with Dashun's size at this time, coming to Japan is really not the same as risking his life to eat puffer fish.

He chose Shimonoseki to change the contract, so he has already prepared to complain directly. You say puffer fish, and I also say puffer fish. He has prepared a lot of words, and these words may even come from Nagasaki "participated" in Edo a long time ago. It's time to start thinking about it.

In the same way as using the tempura incident to cause trouble, Liu Yu talked about another characteristic of puffer fish.

"If the puffer fish is in danger, it will swell its body first, making people think it is so big that they dare not eat it. Or the donkey in Guizhou, before the skill is exhausted, the tiger is also afraid of it; but after the skill is exhausted, the skilled swordsman dissects the puffer fish. I know the taste is delicious, but I don’t see death from poisoning.”

"The Japanese state has the Mengyuan god wind. It thinks it is like a puffer fish. People know that they are poisonous and dare not eat it. Even when Hirao Hideyoshi invaded North Korea, the Ming Dynasty used the Mongolian Yuan as a lesson and did not cross the sea."

"However, in the face of Westerners, Westerners don't know the lessons from the Yuan Dynasty. They just see the deliciousness of puffer fish. The Japanese can only bulge their bodies and make themselves look big, so that they dare not eat and bite."

"The falcon hunting exercise, the Dutch are invited to watch; the Nanman ships arrive, and Chikuqian Xiaocang's military equipment... It's just a bulging body"

"I'm not exaggerating. The sum of all Western countries has a hundred times as many warships as China's. In landing naval battles, they all win against China."

"Today's battle, Western countries know that Japan was just a swollen body before. It was gold and jade, but it was ruined. How can it not be greedy?"

"The poison of puffer fish, Westerners use their navigation skills to disdain the lessons of Meng Yuan; the swelling of puffer fish was broken by our World War I. Where is puffer fish now? It is clearly a piece of fat and frail puffer fish, and the word "he" has gone. "

"Puffer fish is delicious, without toxins, and without the scary swelling. I'm afraid it's even more attractive than crucian carp. At least, crucian carp is spiny, so Westerners may not be willing to eat it."

"And as long as the Chinese Empire is still alive, Westerners will not dare to eat this non-toxic fugu from Japan."

"That's why, respecting China means protecting Japan. Within [-] miles, there must be an emperor who can handle the disputes among Confucian countries, protect the world's morality, fame and teaching, and preserve the traditions of all countries."

"Think about it, gentlemen, if one day, Japan does not believe in Chietchitanism, but instead believes in Protestantism, and the Northeast region believes in Orthodox Christianity, will Japan still be Japan?"

"Since the Celestial Empire punctured your bulging bodies, Yi Di knew that the Japanese nation has its own appearance, so it is obligatory to protect you. In this way, we will live up to the Celestial Empire's name, righteousness, and virtue."

Speaking of the division of spheres of influence is so righteous and awe-inspiring, but it also said it in the hearts of the Japanese present.

The delicious puffer fish suddenly lost their taste. Looking at the puffer fish that Liu Yu called "the puffer fish without the word river", they just felt that eating them was like eating themselves again.

Puffer fish are nothing more than poisonous and can swell their bodies.

Fugu is poisonous, and someone must have eaten it and died before knowing that fugu is poisonous.

This is a good way to protect yourself, but there are always chefs who have the skill of making it non-toxic.

The battle between Meng and Yuan was regarded as poisoned by puffer fish, and since then it has become a "country without conquest".

Now Liu Yu is doing it himself, letting the whole world see how to eat "Japanese puffer fish", teaching on-site, including teaching and meeting.

In the end, I have to thank Liu Yu for his protection in the future, so as not to be eaten by others.

But the problem is that the reason why some people eat it is not because Liu Yu showed that he can not die from poison?

What's even more sad is that the poisonous feature has been deciphered now, and Liu Yu has also proved that the blowing up is nothing but exaggeration.

It would be a lie to say that we are not worried about Westerners.

The Portuguese attacked Hirado a hundred years ago, and Liu Yu’s book about the extermination of Western countries in Edo before that has been circulated in the past ten years.At least Liu Yu had a good reputation before. Tokugawa Yoshimune gave the sweet potato to alleviate the famine and the reform plan to increase the price of rice. Tokugawa Yoshimune mixed up the title of the rice public party, and Liu Yu also got the title of "Sweet Potato Rescue the Famine Lord".Many people have read his books.

Later generations of Ito Hirobumi used the metaphor of puffer fish, but it was a conceited artistic conception after the victory, and made a bunch of seemingly sentimental flattery.

Now Liu Yu is a metaphor for puffer fish, and it is the theory that he promotes the existence of the Celestial Dynasty that saved Japan from the invasion of the Southern Barbarians.

One talks about poison, the other talks about inflation, and each takes what it means.

Matsudaira Huizhen was really depressed at this time, and originally thought that according to the usual practice, everyone had a meal and entertained them before changing the contract.

As a result, everything from tempura to blowfish was exploited by Liu Yu, and there was almost nothing to eat from the dishes before the case.

Now Liu Yu compares Japan to puffer fish, who would dare to eat it?Who is willing to eat?

People in Japan have stopped their chopsticks, not daring to eat their own "metaphors of the country".

The people in Dashun thought about renewing their appointment tomorrow, and they didn't want to cause extra problems. It was almost done. At this time, eating puffer fish with chopsticks would be a bit of a slap in the face.

Songping Huizhen was also deeply embarrassed at the banquet entertained by foreign affairs to the point where everyone had nothing to eat, and she couldn't blame Liu Yu in her heart.

After all, today's matter was not because Liu Yu insisted on taking advantage of it, but because someone on his side first borrowed Da Chao to read Xin Qiji's words.

This time it's a good thing, the person who read the words was stunned and didn't say anything. Today's words must be remembered and widely circulated.

While ordering someone to prepare some more dishes, in order to prevent Liu Yu from finding fault, he specially ordered to prepare some vegetarian dishes from the temple.

Songping Huizhen could only stand up to smooth things over and said: "Liu Jun's puffer fish metaphor may make sense. It's just that the prestige of carrying soldiers is reasonable, but it becomes less reasonable. Whether it is poisonous or inflated Forget it, after all, it wasn't Liu Jun who punctured it?"

Liu Yu didn't continue to quarrel, and it's good to talk a little bit, needless to say too thoroughly, those present today will sort out these things, and write an article to demonstrate right and wrong.

Thinking about today's events, the share was removed and the face was also taken. There was no need to humiliate him, so he smiled and said: "This is the allusion of hiding diseases and avoiding doctors. It has not faded in 2000. People don't hate diseases, but they hate telling them. A sick doctor. Let it go, it has been 3000 years, and it is still the same."

"Now that I've told you that the dishes on this table are not edible. Since Mr. Songping is the host, it's time to ask someone to refill the wine and re-open the banquet. I'll take the lead, come here, and remove these dishes!"

The interpreter hurriedly translated it, Matsudaira Huizhen didn't want to cause any accidents today, so she respected Liu Yu.

The people in Dashun also knew that the steps had already been given, and the momentum on the Japanese side was completely suppressed by Ying Sabo today, and they would no longer make trouble for nothing, so someone proposed to link poems and enjoy the tide.

However, there were still some people in Japan who came out to speak after all. A Confucian scholar in his 60s got up and said, "What's the use of linking poems and linking poems?"

"Taibai and Zimei in Husband and Tang Dynasty are all poets at the end; Ming Yulin and Yuanmei are good at writing diction, and they will never tire of death. However, they have no achievements enough to be known in the world, how can we not be sympathetic?"

"Yu Chang is resentful about this. Why doesn't a good ancient gentleman reflect on himself? Liu Jun said that Japan has a disease, but no one cares about it. What's the reason?"

"A big country has its own means of governing. If you often close the storehouse and sell the law, you can solve the problem of rice cheapness hurting farmers; if you go to a hundred officials and Ming officials, it is also the first task of governing the country; follow the example of a big country and set up Fangbo, Taifu, Zongzheng Officials, to manage the affairs of the vassals, the clan, and the inner government; one currency, gold and silver, and the bad government of using gold and silver in the East and West..."

"Which one is not an economic practice beneficial to the country?"

"Jia Sheng in Chinese, don't ask about the common people, ask ghosts and gods. But you don't ask about the poems of the political and political alliance. The truth is different, and there is no conspiracy!"

After the old man finished spraying, Songping Huizhen reprimanded him to keep silent, Liu Yu saw that the man's speech was very different, and wondered: "Who is this?"

"I'm joking. This man's surname is Dazai, his name is Chun, he is from Defu, and his name is Chuntai. Although he acts crazy, he has talent. The great Confucian of our country, Disheng Zulai, is also praised for his talent."

Liu Yu didn't feel anything yet, but a few officials from Dashun's side said in surprise: "Could it be that the Dazai Chuntai who wrote "Zhu's Biography of Poetry"? In the past, Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn". Writing this article seems to have the meaning of trying to distract Zhu Xi from interpreting poems indiscriminately. In the past, Ying Sabo brought back the book written by Mr. Ying from Nagasaki, and after a rough reading, it coincided with the book written by a certain person. See!"

However, some people from Dashun side clapped their hands and said with a smile: "It turned out that it was Dazai Chuntai who wrote "Chan Yu" after imitating Wang Jinggong and entrusting the ancient reformation. In the past, Ying Sabo brought this book back from Nagasaki. The ancient book of Du. The diction is amazing, and there is indeed an ancient style in the pre-Qin period. However, if it is said that this is an ancient book in the pre-Qin period, I don’t believe it. The opening chapter of "Economy Records" is actually based on Wang Jinggong’s words of reforming the ancient system. This is not the true meaning of Confucianism. I think it is a farmer’s, The study of Legalism. It is definitely not advisable to reform the system on the basis of ancient times."

"Wang Jinggong explained the "Zhou Li" to apply for the government of business. Brother Chuntai went a step further and wrote a book himself, saying that it is an ancient book from the pre-Qin period. I am afraid that in a few days someone will verify that the "Six Classics" passed down by the master are all the master's wishes. Restructured and self-written..."

Amidst the voices of compliments, doubts, praises, or ridicule, Liu Yu and Songping Huizhen looked at each other, thinking that the world is one circle after another, with the country as the circle, and he is on one side ;If you take literature as your circle, you and your subordinates are not in the same circle, but are actually outsiders...
