Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 466 Infighting in reading, Zhang Haogu is not wrong, the fault lies in the Confucian mansion!
Gu Yanwu immediately became very interested in Shandong.

This is something I have never been exposed to in books before, and the books only tell him that Confucius and Mencius is right, and he has never questioned Confucius and Mencius, and he has never questioned Confucianism.

However, now he started to hesitate a bit.

Didn't the outsiders say that everyone in this Shandong province was beaten up by Zhang Haogu?

Doesn't it mean that the people here don't know what etiquette is?

Not that they seriously broke the rules. ''

Didn't it mean that the people here are in dire straits?

Damn, the people are living in poverty, why does he feel that he eats better than himself and dresses better than himself?

Why is this happening?

Is the dead Kong family the real good Kong family?

Gu Yanwu felt that it was absurd, and he couldn't help but said: "However, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius teach people's etiquette and the principles of life. How can it be said that the dead Confucius family is the good Confucius family?"

"The theory of Confucius and Mencius is good, so let me ask you, what does it have to do with the Confucius family?" Wang Qiang asked back.

"I……"

Gu Yanwu was stunned, it was really hard to say this.

"I don't know anything else. All I know is that the Kong family is not a good thing. Without the Kong family, my family has land, and I work hard to make money. As long as I pay the court's taxes, I can eat the rest of the food!"

This Wang Qiang continued: "Hey, now the farm allows us to grow cotton, but also allows us to open textile factories and sell cloth directly. We can make more money, and we can make more money. Hey, what does the Kong family say is only wise?" He will not change his mind if he says that we are born low, and he thinks we are low and don’t want to eat our food or wear our clothes, don’t you think so?”

Gu Yanwu was stunned, he couldn't help but said: "However, what Confucius said is also reasonable!"

"That makes sense, why don't you follow suit?"

Wang Qiang said: "Then Confucius said that he is not ashamed to ask. He said that three people must have my teacher. Why don't you ask how we plow the fields? Why don't you ask how the cotton is grown to produce more cotton?" Cotton? Just remember that only the wise and the foolish are invariable?"

Gu Yanwu really couldn't refute, his mind moved, he looked at Wang Qiang and couldn't help but said: "Have you read the book?"

"Hey, of course!" Wang Qiang smiled: "Our farm has special teachers who teach us arithmetic and knowledge, teach us to read and write, let us learn the truth, we understand the truth , You scholars won’t be able to fool us!”

"How can this be called deception?" Gu Yanwu's eyes widened: "When did we deceive you?"

"Why isn't it cheating?" Wang Qiang said, "Who said we are low? Who said we are not worthy of being educated? Who told us that we are born stupid? Who told us that Confucius is superior, and we must have no bottom line." Serving Confucius?"

Gu Yanwu fell silent.

This Wang Qiang said: "You scholars, your heart, liver, lungs, and intestines are all black. This is how the ass determines the head. You are gentlemen, and you bully us. You still have to find a set of theories to prove the correctness of bullying us, or Yuanfu's materialism is well said, material is the foundation of everything, we grow food through labor, and we laborers are the most noble!"

Gu Yanwu really hasn't read Zhang Haogu's "Materialism", but thinks that it is nothing more than a clown, how can you compare it with Confucius and Mencius?
This "Materialism" is not considered popular among scholars, and more people regard it as crooked.

However, Zhang Haogu doesn’t care about this. This materialism is mainly propagated by workers and farmers. Zhang Haogu is indeed hi to attract scholars, but the premise is that you must agree with my theory.

Secondly, this scholar himself can be cultivated slowly, and the children of farmers and workers will naturally support their own theories.

Even, there are businessmen who support this set of theories.

For businessmen, their wealth is also precarious, and more profits are still used to deal with officials, and deal with all kinds of teachings and tricks.

Sometimes when the harvest is good, [-]% of the profit can still maintain the company's continued expansion. If the harvest is not good and the business is not done well, then it will all be lost.

Seventy percent belonged to others, and the remaining thirty percent depended on Huang Silang's face.

And this is just one of your qualifications to do business. As for whether you lose money in business or not, it doesn't matter, you must give and send Master Huang's money.

Gu Yanwu only felt that his heart had been impacted.

When he returned to the post house, he was lost in thought.

Zhang Haogu supports scholars who go north, and even arranges accommodation for them. However, like the capital, food and lodging are not free. You have to make money through your own labor to support yourself.

As for the Confucian family, do you like to worship or not.

Bye, this belongs to the scenic spot, which costs money, as for the incense, the starting price is 100 yuan.

What is expensive?
This can only explain one problem, you still don't respect Confucius enough, you don't respect Confucius anymore, why do you come here to mourn?
What qualifications do you have to offer condolences?

The group of people who can come, there are few rich and noble families, basically all of them are poor. The rich are studying hard at home and waiting for the imperial examination. These poor people are cannon fodder when they come out.

At best, if Zhang Haogu couldn't control himself, he would kill them all, and then naturally there would be a huge wave among the scholars.

They just wanted Zhang Haogu to make things worse.

The result is that after this group of people trekked across mountains and rivers to Shandong, with their enthusiasm, they finally found that they didn't even have enough money to burn incense for Confucius?

One by one, they could only squat obediently in the post house.

Free for ten days, after ten days, you have to go to the farm to work honestly, earn money for traveling home, and earn incense for Confucius.

Gu Yanwu returned to the post house, and after that, he got Zhang Haogu's article and read it.

After repeated scolding battles with "Donglin Daily", Zhang Haogu's "Materialism" has gradually formed a system. In the past, Gu Yanwu still felt scoffed at, but now, after reading it, he suddenly felt deeply Trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves.

"My lords, Zhang Haogu is too deceitful, let's wait. Let's wait, let's make a fuss!"

Among the crowd, a leader of scholars named Zheng Hong said loudly: "We offer sacrifices to Confucian Temple, but he has turned it into a business. In front of the Confucian Mansion, Zhang Haogu actually asked people to sing an opera, so he slandered Confucius. Mansion, I might as well go to the yamen tomorrow and let Zhang Haogu, a bastard, know that I am a scholar and not so easy to bully!"

"No, no!"

At this moment, Gu Yanwu stood up and said, "Zhang Haogu is right, the fault lies in the Confucian Mansion!!"
