Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1378
As a former grassroots cadre of the Red Dynasty, Gao Wushi is too aware of the power of "unity and confidence".

There is a saying that "a strong fortress is often breached from within." As the core position of the School of Mind, Jiangnan is full of scholars and supporters of the School of Mind, and the promotion of the spirit of practical learning here is quite limited.

For an idea to be spread, popularized and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it cannot just rely on a few people to shout it out, it needs more people to understand its benefits.This means that the idea must be able to meet the expectations of the audience and bring them benefits.

Does Xinxue meet the expectations of Jiangnan officials and scholars?Basically.The prosperity of the economy in the south of the Yangtze River made it easier for officials and students (probationary officials) in the south of the Yangtze River to rely on the privileges of scholars granted by the imperial court to obtain income among the people, and then they had more "high-level" spiritual needs, similar to the so-called "personal ***".

It is not bad to have individualism, and later generations also advocate individualism, but that kind of liberation is to enable people to "each have their own strengths", develop and exercise their abilities according to their own preferences and strengths, and create a better society for the society. High value, realize self-sublimation.

Obviously, this is not the case with the end-of-the-mind study of the heart, which is a variation of the orthodox Lu Wang's study of the mind. It deviates from Wang Yangming's real theme of "to the conscience" and other spirits, and instead pursues illusory ideas such as "there is nothing outside the heart" and "no self outside the heart". Target.In fact, this should be attributed to metaphysics, Zen and the like, which are of little use to social progress.

But the end-of-the-mind theory of mind can be widely spread in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reason is not limited to this. This kind of variation of Lu Wang's theory of mind has also led to a kind of thinking, that is, "I" is independent of the society, and whether my behavior is moral and legitimate is irrelevant. It needs to be questioned by outsiders. If "I" thinks it is okay, I will do it.

What will this lead to?At least, since I shouldn't be questioned, it's nothing if I do something unique or even out of line, and you should even regard it as "my" personality, and you should praise it.

what does this look likeYes, like Wei Jin Kuangsheng.

When the economy develops to a certain level, there will always be thoughts like this, just like the youthful rebellious period that everyone will experience, "How can you old-fashioned people understand me", "I am different" or even "I am invincible in the world" ".

The low-level of Xinxue caters to such economic reality and ideological trend, so it takes root in Jiangnan and makes Jiangnan its headquarters.Even though opposition groups such as Gu Xiancheng are starting to appear now, to be honest, they are not enough to shake the foundation of the heart school.

Why is practical learning always slow to spread in Jiangnan?Because the fundamental position of the Practical School is that the country is rich and the people are strong, and its primary task is to make the country rich—the people are not actually weak, and what is weak now is the state's finances.

For Jiangnan officials and students, I have made a fortune and made a good fortune. Now you come here and ask me to contribute more to the country. Why, are you arrogant?As for your saying that if the country is rich, I will get richer. Sorry, I can’t see it. Even if I see it, I don’t bother to wait. Who knows how long this process will take?I just see one thing: you fucking want me to pay more taxes.

Because of this, except for a small number of people on the Jiangnan side who directly connect with Jinghua and get on the Jinghua fortune car, such as Wei Guogong Xu Bangrui, Linhuaihou Li Yangong and others, other local officials in Jiangnan basically respect Shixue.

As for why the north has a high acceptance of practical learning, the reason is very simple: I am poor anyway, and you say your method can make me rich, so I will give you some time to see if you can do it. It's no big deal for me to suffer first, just bear with it and let it pass.

What does it mean to have a different social base? This is the difference.It's like you let students from Beijing and Shanghai and students from Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces enter key universities with the same scores, and they and even their parents will definitely not agree.This is determined by the objective reality of society, and it is difficult to judge with absolute right or wrong.

This reality determines that the advancement of practical learning in the south of the Yangtze River is very slow. Even if the practical school once operated Han Ji and other generals to positions such as Yingtian governor and Zhejiang governor, this status quo cannot be changed.Because under the current circumstances, Jiangnan officials are united to resist the "invasion" of practical learning.

In the original history, it was not until the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse that the mainstream of society attacked Xinxue and even Donglin, which was also rapidly corrupting.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

Therefore, Gao Yushi must find a way to change this situation. Even if Jiangnan officials and scholars are not willing to accept it, he must forcibly break their illusions, insert a wedge, plant seeds, and change step by step.

Breaking this unity is a highly pragmatic first move.

Letting Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue give up on them and make them feel abandoned will obviously cause cracks in this unity.This kind of rift is the rift between upper and lower, which means the separation between the upper and lower levels of Xinxue.

The upper echelon took a further view, thinking that abandoning Li Chengliang at this time would cause the School of Mind to lose power in the court, which in turn would cause the School of Reality to fully dominate the court and directly suppress the Jiangnan base camp.

Xinxue is a school as well as a political group. Once it completely loses its right to speak in the imperial court, can it be expected that the people's slobber will force the Real School, which has control of the political and military power, to give in?Purely daydreaming.

But the lower level will not see it that way, they will think that we are the foundation of the learning of the mind, you are so stupid to give up the foundation and ignore it, and instead put the cart before the horse to protect a mere gangster, if you are not a traitor, who is a traitor?

Only when the heart and learning are at odds, can the practical learning have the opportunity to take advantage of the emptiness.This is what Gao Pragmatism wants.

As for confidence, this is also very important, and it is actually a symbiotic relationship with unity to a large extent.Because of unity, everyone is confident of victory; because of confidence in victory, everyone is united.

During the red and blue civil wars in later generations, the blue side was originally stronger, but it was not united internally, let alone the people, and its leadership ability was not as good as that of the red side, so it was disadvantageous in war.If the war is unfavorable, confidence will gradually be lost, and then there will be no unity, so the war will be even more unfavorable, and finally a crushing defeat.

High pragmatism is to create this effect, first to cause disunity within the School of Mind, and then take the opportunity to wedge the power of the School of Reality into Jiangnan, so that the officials of Mind School in Jiangnan will feel frustrated that the building is about to collapse, and then they will be dissatisfied with the internal and cause various problems. However, they did not recognize each other, and then weakened their own resistance to practical learning, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. No matter how Hai Rui inspected it this time, and who was the one who felled it, in short, as long as Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue didn't try their best to save them, the "ant's nest" would naturally form.

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue can only choose between solving long-term worries and solving near-term worries, but no matter how they choose, the defeat will be predetermined in advance.

Unless they choose to fight to the death and fight with the Practical School, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that two "sophisticated" bureaucrats would not be so "reckless".Especially Shen Shixing, as a typical bureaucrat who is very similar to Xu Jie, he only subconsciously avoids risks, even if he endures the humiliation in his crotch for this.

Compared with Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue's bureaucratic habits were originally a little weaker. He might choose to resist in an all-round way. Unfortunately, this time Gao Pragmatism quietly deployed in Jiangnan, allowing Hai Rui to catch Wang Xijue's sore feet by the way.

This painful script was not fatal, but Wang Xijue's overly concerned reputation did harm him, making him dare not insist on this matter too much, but was persuaded by Shen Shixing to "aim high".

This is how the high-practical happiness comes from.

After hearing this, Liu Xin was stunned, and her skin was about to get goosebumps. Seeing Gao Yushi's complacent look, she took a breath and said, "You are really full of intrigues and tricks, and your stomach is overflowing with bad water."

Gao Wushi's smile froze immediately, and he said in embarrassment: "Look at what you said, I...at least the intention is very good, so you can't change the two words, such as Miaomo Gaoyuan and Shenjimiao?"

Liu Xin hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, in your situation, the best way I can think of is 'a loyal minister must be more treacherous than a treacherous minister, so as not to be killed by a traitor'—although I think that you are actually a loyal minister. It's a bit confusing, it doesn't seem very fair to say that Shen Shixing and the others are traitors."

Gao Wushi rolled his eyes and acted like "I'm going to be mad at you to death".

Liu Xin covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "Okay, okay, can't you be the best?"

Lonely men and widows, this sentence is really easy to make people daydream, Gao Pragmatically asked himself that he has seen countless beauties in his past and present lives, and he couldn't help but feel flustered when he heard this sentence suddenly.

But he didn't hide his reaction, he coughed dryly, and said haha: "Praise if you want, but don't say things that are insincere, okay?"

Liu Xin may have also found something wrong with the sentence just now, her face turned red slightly, she looked away slightly, and said: "Da Sinoong does not know how much flattery he has to hear every day, and it is not bad for me. .”

"That's true." Gao Wushi climbed down the steps: "Anyway, it's all fake, so I'll take it as your real boast."

Liu Xin pursed her lips and smiled, but this time she didn't dare to speak casually.It's just that this is a bit awkward, so she had no choice but to find something to say, and asked, "Where is Ye He's Ge Ge?"

Gao Wushi was stunned, and hesitated, "This...according to the footsteps, it may be almost to Yingkou. Why, you are very concerned about this matter?"

In fact, Liu Xin regretted this sentence as soon as she uttered it. Ye He planned to give Meng Gu Zhezhe to Gao Yushi as a concubine. She was a girl who took the initiative to care about it, as if she had some taste for it.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yushi was also a little restless just now, and he directly asked "you are very concerned about this matter", which seemed to confirm Liu Xin's intentions even more.

"Why do I care about her? It should be Huang Dutong who cares about her. I just ask casually."

Well, it's better not to explain.

Gao Wushi said with a dry smile: "So you are just acting as a best friend to set me up on Zhiting's behalf?"

Originally, this sentence was to ease the embarrassment, but who knew that as two modern people, they suddenly thought of a sentence: fire prevention, theft prevention and girlfriend protection.

Liu Xin felt the atmosphere was more and more strange. She, who was usually quite bold, felt a little uncomfortable at this moment, as if Huang Zhiting's eyes were accurately cast into this room from Dingnan, thousands of miles away, watching the two of them. .

Although Liu Xin knows in her heart that Huang Zhiting's motives for getting along with her are not so simple, it is very likely that she hopes that the Liu family will be more closely tied to Gao Yushi, so she even expressed in front of her several times that she hopes that Gao Yushi will pay more. Concubines, more children, more blessings.

However, Huang Zhiting's way of thinking is the common way of thinking of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty, and her Liu Xin's way of thinking is the common way of thinking of modern people. The current situation makes her feel guilty about having an affair with her husband behind her best friend's back.

It's just that for some reason, she felt that there was some other kind of stimulation besides this sense of guilt, especially that Huang Zhiting didn't simply win her mind, but seemed to make her feel some kind of connivance, even encouragement.

But in the end, her rationality prevailed, and she deliberately put on a stern face: "That's natural. If you want to empathize with someone else, I will naturally report it."

Gao Wushi couldn't help laughing: "You said it yourself, there is no shortage of beautiful women in my house. Although I haven't seen what that Meng Gu Zhezhe looks like, it must not make me fascinated."

Liu Xin turned her head away and said: "Then I don't know. Some people say that a noble woman can make a man more eager to conquer. She is a princess after all. Don't you think it is very cool to let a princess serve you obediently?" something?"

Gao Yushi said: "The Gege of the 15th year of Wanli is not the same as the Gege of the Tartar Qing Dynasty. Besides..." At this point, Gao Yushi suddenly stopped vigilantly.

However, his stop reminded Liu Xin, who couldn't help but said with a bit of sourness: "Oh, yes, Gege in the 15th year of Wanli is not noble, but Her Royal Highness the princess in the 15th year of Wanli is still very noble. Your desire to conquer appears to have been satisfied."

Gao Wushi opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he couldn't explain.It's not that Liu Xin is ignorant of the relationship between Princess Yongning and him. She also understands the ins and outs of why the matter has developed into what it is now, but since it is still used as an example, it shows...some things don't need to be reasoned with.

Gao Wushi looked hopeless and sighed.

Seeing that he didn't even bother to explain, Liu Xin became even more unhappy for some reason, and snorted softly: "Is there no way to say it?" But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she immediately realized that there was no reason to say that from her own standpoint, so she said "Even if Huang Zhiting wants you to take a concubine, I'm afraid it's not because she wants you to provoke a princess. As for what you said was meant by the emperor, I think... maybe you are making excuses for yourself."

Gao Wushi sighed again, still didn't know what to say, and even couldn't help asking himself in his heart: Is this really the case?Looking at a princess with golden branches and jade leaves throwing herself into her arms like moths flying into a flame, so I'm drifting away?

The two were speechless for a while, Gao Wushi suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going outside for a walk."

Liu Xin didn't speak, and Gao Wushi didn't say any more. He went downstairs alone and walked to the small gazebo near Shichahai Lake, watching the snow and blowing the cold wind.

Liu Xin in the small building finally couldn't help but glanced at him, and thought: I'm not talking too much, am I?In such a cold day, what if he gets sick from the cold?
But she immediately suppressed these thoughts, glared at Gao Yushi's back fiercely, cursed hard but lowered her voice: "Scumbag, you deserve to be sick from the cold!" I went to the small courtyard where I lived.
