Chapter 631 Confucius and Mencius Academy
After the long winter, the spring of 13 years of innovation is ushered in, and in the past year, there has been a surging undercurrent under the surface peace, although there are only a few waves on the water, But it has already made some people feel a little turbulent.

Ning Yu was flipping through a memorial in his hand, but his fingers kept tapping lightly on the table. This was a long-standing habitual action of his, which meant that he was entering a long period of thinking.

Since receiving the memorial from Ning Zuyi last winter, Ning Yu has actually been planning a very important thing, which is to spread Confucianism to other Asian countries, which is not only a follow-up to the integration of the entire Asia The key step is to build rules by holding high the banner.

Only countries that can truly accept Chinese civilization can become Zhuxia in the future without becoming barbarians.

Don’t think that this is just a nominal matter. In fact, it is also a standard for the Great Chu to measure the Xias externally, that is, to distinguish which are the barbarians who need to be resolutely eliminated, and which are the Zhuxias that can be accepted for transformation— ——If they are barbarians, they will become slaves in the future. If they are Zhu Xia, they can unite in a quasi-alliance circle centered on Chinese civilization.

If this theory is used as the basis, then among the current Asian countries, North Korea has realized the system of common monarchy and basically completely disarmed, and all national defense and security are under the control of Da Chu, so North Korea is the closest to China. The country, Da Chu's attitude towards it can be regarded as the most friendly.

But other countries are different. Like Japan and Annan, although they are also deeply influenced by Sinicization, they have not made efforts to integrate into Chinese civilization. Instead, they are constantly resisting this process, trying to form their own cultural core, and The picture is self-storing.

Therefore, in order to further understand the situation in these countries, Ning Yu sent many investigators to these countries through the Military Intelligence Department and shadows in the past few years. They are not engaged in real secret intelligence snooping, but only There is only one thing to understand—that is, it is necessary to understand whether ordinary people in these countries have a high sense of identity with their own culture, and the results of this report will also become the focus of Dachu's future decision-making.

Ning Yu gently placed the memorial in his hand on the table. The development of the situation is not so good, but it is not as bad as he imagined, but he can be sure that if the time delays for another few decades, then this Everything changes.

"Cui Qing, I thought it was fortunate that this investigation was carried out early, otherwise it would have been too late for some things."

In fact, the things described in the memorial are not so shocking. Various materials are used to demonstrate that these countries have subconsciously created a variant of their own on the basis of China. Simply put, they want to get rid of the restrictions of China. , form your own worldview.

In order to achieve this goal, these countries have begun to deliberately contact the ideas and technologies spread by the West. Compared with China, they will be more proactive.

Of course, this kind of change in the field of thought will not appear to be too violent. After all, the early eighteenth century is still a relatively stable era. Changes, all the shocking changes that occurred in modern history, were essentially brewing at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Naturally, Cui Wancai also read this memorial, but he quite agreed with it: "In terms of the theory of Yi and Xia, three generations ago, only China was educated, and the rest of the countries were influenced by the wind of China due to their distance. Each is different, but now that the west wind is gradually advancing, and the cultures of various countries have similarities and differences, it seems that they use their own way to attack China's lack of way, which is despicable."

Ning Yu nodded. In fact, whether it is a country or a nation, when they are invaded, they are not necessarily conquered by force. This kind of cultural and thinking intrusion is also ubiquitous. Yes, on the contrary, because of its sufficient secrecy, it can actually take root deeply.

In the original history, ever since Western thought entered the East with strong ships and sharp guns, the results achieved have been remarkable—even Japan, which is the most sinicized, is clamoring to leave Asia and enter Europe all day long, while other small countries are also They followed suit one after another, and even later, even Huaxia herself lost her cultural confidence.

It was a decades-long road of self-rescue and introspection, and the mottled blood and tears in it are simply incomprehensible and impossible for people of this era to experience.

As for how to solve this problem, it is very simple to say, but it is also very complicated to say that it is complicated.

It is simple because it only needs the continued development of Great Chu, which will inevitably attract these countries to change their ideological trends in the future, and even spread Chinese culture to the whole world, so that all people will scramble to learn Chinese and Confucius and Mencius. It is because wanting to achieve this is by no means a one-time effort, perhaps it can be said that greater strategic patience is required.

"To put it simply, in addition to having swords and muskets, we also need pens, ink, paper and inkstones. With the superiority of Chinese culture, we can achieve this. Cui Qing also needs to add more points on this matter."

Cui Wancai nodded, and sighed in a low voice: "In the past, scholars were often called useless, but as long as they can do this well, the value created will be worth countless, and I must do my best to promote it." , in the future, the world will benefit from the customs of the Han Dynasty.”

Ning Yu smiled, "Ministry of Education Ning Zhongquan will enter the cabinet next year, I will let him take charge of this matter, and will send some Confucian masters to other countries for exchanges. It is best to establish some Confucianism in other countries. Mencius College, we can better promote the spread of Confucius and Mencius."

"Yes, I made a note of it."

Just when Cui Wancai was about to go down to write an edict, Lin Tai, the head of the attendant room, hurried in, holding a letter in his hand, with a slightly dignified expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Military Intelligence Department that Japan has just experienced a major change. Emperor Keihito of Nakagomon died mysteriously. It seems to be related to the shogunate Tokugawa Yoshimune. Your Majesty, please take a look."

"What? When did Qingren die?"

Ning Yu didn't go to receive the letter. In fact, this incident is not so surprising, because from the previous incident of the Satsuma Domain, one can see the open and secret struggle between the emperor and the shogun. In the past few years, the contradiction between the two sides has even worsened, and it is only a matter of time before a conflict occurs.

Lin Tai whispered: "According to the information our people got, it seems to be the end of last month, but it has not been discovered yet."

Ning Yu groaned softly, but he still took the letter and read it carefully, but couldn't help but let out a sigh, the situation in Japan is more serious than he imagined!
　It's a little stuck today, and it will resume normal updates tomorrow.
