Chapter 38 Capital Power
"In the past thousand years, the power of Confucianism and Legalism has been unshakable, but after all, it is a thousand-year-old thing. No matter how glamorous the appearance is, it is difficult to conceal the rottenness inside. Once the situation changes, the morals of this world will change. There is no going back."

"This was the case during the great changes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. A huge country had millions of soldiers at its peak, but when the general situation is gone, it will be like the Yellow River flowing eastward. It will never return, and it cannot be brought back by human power."

Ning Yu was silent. Countless people in later generations talked about the loss of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but no matter how much they tried to revise, they couldn't imitate the stagnation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Just like an old man who is dying of old age, once he dies, no good medicine will be able to bring him back.

The way of Confucianism and Legalism died on the body of the Ming Dynasty, and was resurrected on the body of the Qing Dynasty.

Cui Wancai got up and stood with her back facing the door, looking at the dimly lit room, and sighed deeply.

"I have been studying Confucianism and Legalism as a teacher for a lifetime, but in the end, I found that the road of Confucianism and Legalism is getting narrower and narrower. Therefore, if my teacher does not teach you Confucianism and Legalism, are you convinced?"

Ning Yu bowed and saluted, with an extremely calm heart, and said: "The teacher's words are the same as those of the students. The students also think that the way of Confucianism and Legalism is no longer feasible. The changes in the future world situation are unpredictable, and Confucianism and Legalism will only be influenced by the general trend." crush."

Cui Wancai said strangely: "You are quite strange. You can only comprehend the way of Confucianism and Legalism if you have learned it thoroughly, but I think you are just getting a glimpse of it. How can you understand it?"

Ning Yu smiled wryly. He couldn't say that he came from later generations, and he knew all the history of the world for hundreds of years.

Since he couldn't say it, Ning Yu had no choice but to lie again: "The reason why the students comprehend is not from Confucianism, but from the way of investigating things."

Cui Wancai stroked his beard in satisfaction and said, "No wonder it's like this. You've always started with the way of utensils. This was the case with your father before, but I still want to remind you that it is very difficult to use utensils to enter the Tao. difficult."

Ning Yu naturally understands what Cui Wancai said. In the era of Confucianism and Legalism, the ideal society they hope for is a static society, a stagnant society. , Farmers should farm honestly.Therefore, the industry and commerce, which seeks change and innovation and pays attention to circulation, has become the object of rejection, and it is naturally a small way.

"Teacher, what if, what if the development of the art of utensils far exceeds the current trend?" Ning Yu thought carefully.

This is something that no one in the world could have expected. Even Cui Wancai, who has learned the past and the present, can hardly predict how fast the technology of future generations will develop. ,omnipotent.

Because of this, Cui Wancai thinks that it is difficult for utensils to enter Taoism. After all, in most people's cognition, there is no qualitative change between the things used 1000 years ago and the things used now.

Cui Wancai was stunned by this question, and sighed for a long time: "The way of heaven and man is inexhaustible. With your talent, if you really study the way of utensils, you may really be able to achieve something. It's just that my Chinese lineage is so powerful. Mountains and seas, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake in your whole life."

With Cui Wancai's cognition now, he has really penetrated into the core of national culture.Don't you see, since the war of one crow, the history of more than 100 years is all about one thing. How did the huge Chinese culture turn around in the face of unstoppable utensils?
With this turn around, it is almost sinking under the Nine Netherworld, it is difficult to recover.

Ning Yu raised her head lightly, her eyes were firm, and this glance seemed to see through the age of the world, and it even made Cui Si, who was hiding behind the curtain, cover her small mouth, she had never seen such deep eyes.

"Teacher, if it is an ordinary way of utensils, students naturally dare not speak out. What if you have this?" Ning Yu took out a yellow copper coin from his pocket, with the words "Kangxi Tongbao" written on it.

Cui Wancai has a lot of admiration for this disciple today, but it's not enough, "If you add it, it may speed up the development of the art of utensils, but it's also very easy to make someone else's wedding dress, and it will be nothing in the end."

Ning Yu calmly took out another lead bullet from his bosom, and said, "What if we add this?"

Cui Wancai showed a trace of surprise, and said with a smile: "If you add this, it can become a temporary trend, but it will not last long."

Naturally, if it's just copper coins and lead bullets, the way of utensils has already become a great way.Although it was enough to shock the world, in Cui Wancai's view, it was still not enough.

Ning Yu was not disappointed, but heaved a long sigh and said, "There is only one thing missing." This kind of thing is something Ning Yu can't give now, and he doesn't know if he can wait until the day when this thing appears.

At this time, Cui Wancai's eyes were shining brightly. He looked at Ning Yu, as if looking at a sword that was gradually unsheathed, sharp and energetic.

He is tired of the so-called saying that a gentleman hides his front, if he hides it, he will be gone.

When a man walks in the world, he should show his inner edge, so that he can live up to the world of great controversy.

Cui Wancai looked at the north, his eyes seemed to penetrate the roof, pierced thousands of mountains and rivers, and he said in a very rare passionate tone: "Ning Yu, I will teach you the last lesson. From today on, It will be difficult for me to help you as a teacher."

"What is the way of heaven? It is not only the human heart, but also the general trend. Throughout the millennium, the unpredictable changes in the general trend cannot be stopped by human power. The loss of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties is based on the foundation, and the foundation is not stable."

"Since you are interested in the general situation today, you must know that the people's hearts are tied to the general situation, and the general situation will also be influenced by the people's hearts. Today, Emperor Kangxi has manipulated people's hearts like pearls, and he is playing power to the extreme."

"But the change of people's mind is not a cloud on the chessboard after all, and it is definitely not a clear distinction between black and white. If you only pay attention to this point, you will lose your sense of proportion sooner or later."

"Ning Yu, as a teacher, I hope that your way of utensils can truly influence the general situation and shake people's hearts. If there is such a day, the way of utensils will be the avenue of heaven and earth."

Looking at Cui Wancai who was fluttering like a banished immortal at this time, Ning Yu's innermost thoughts were not uttered after all, there was no need to say anything, and there was no need to say more.

But before leaving, the girl from the Cui family served the tea in person, her delicate face was flushed, and she said softly: "Dare to ask my junior brother, what is the way?"

Ning Yu glanced down at the copper coin in his hand, and said with a smile: "I think my abilities are all derived from this copper coin. If I really talk about my future way, it will be called Capitalism."

"Das Kapital" Cui Wancai and Cui Si recited the word at the same time and chewed it over and over again, but the former's smile became more subtle, while the latter showed a hint of confusion.

The Cui family's father and daughter watched Ning Yu's shadow gradually elongate under the slanting light of the setting sun until it disappeared.

"How about the husband my father chose for you?"

"Oh, a head full of rebellious thoughts is very much to my liking."
