Qiming 1158

Chapter 1156 It turns out that you also joined the revival meeting.jpg
Zhang Shi didn't know much about the Ming Kingdom, and he mostly learned from his friends, but his friends didn't understand Ming society either, so Su Changsheng, a person who really understood Ming society, became his window.

Many, many things came out of Su Changsheng's mouth, and Zhang Shi thought it was incredible.

For example, in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, he thought it was inconceivable that the white strips made by the government borrowed money were circulated as banknotes.

"Can white strips be circulated as coins? Is there such a thing? In the Song Dynasty, even real banknotes are very unpopular."

"Because the banknotes may depreciate at any time, but the white strips are different. It is as many as you want. The Daming government attaches great importance to the value of the white strips, saying that if you can deduct tax, you can deduct tax, and there will never be any tax deduction. The situation, the value is very strong.”

"Is this really the case?"

"It's like Jihan and Soochow both minted coins such as Zhibaiqian, Daquantangqian, etc., but in Jihan, this large-denomination currency can be used for decades, while Daquantangqian was attacked by Soochow. Widespread domestic boycott.

The reason is that the Zhibai money issued by Zhuge Liang’s ruler Ji Han can really buy things worth a hundred dollars. Reputable currency.

The large amount of currency in Soochow is purely a tool for collecting money, and it is naturally discarded. Similarly, in Daming, we attach great importance to the credibility of the imperial court, and put the credibility of the imperial court in the first place.

And Baitiao is naturally the best way to temper the reputation of the court. As long as the value of Baitiao remains strong, the trust of the people in the court will always remain unchanged. This is not only a matter of money, but also a political issue. "

"So that's the case, and there's this truth in it..."

Zhang Shi kept nodding his head, feeling that he had learned a lot from Su Changsheng, heard a lot of policies of the Ming Dynasty that were completely different from those of the Southern Song Dynasty, and learned a lot of things that the Ming Dynasty did to reduce the burden on the people and safeguard the interests of the people. deeply touched.

The more he listened, the more fascinated he became, and the more excited he became. After that, they would get together to talk when they were free, and they would talk while eating when they were free.

We talked and talked, even forgetting the time to eat and the time to sleep.

After talking on and off for more than ten days, the two brothers of the Zhang family have learned a lot about Ming’s revolutionary policy and ideology, as well as the Ming’s method of launching revolution. They also have a certain understanding of the existence of the Renaissance Society and its secret development in the Southern Song Dynasty understanding.

Finally, when Su Changsheng said that he would establish the Jinghu branch of the Renaissance Society in Changsha, Zhang Shi and Zhang Piao readily agreed, and said that they must join in as members and work hard together for the dream of Datong society.

"Then your father?"

Su Changsheng felt that when facing Zhang Jun in the future, the two brothers would inevitably be shaken, which might have an impact on the entire revolutionary cause.

But Zhang Shi and Zhang Piao said that father is one thing, revolution is another.

They love their father, but they love the supreme ideal more, and when there is conflict between the father and the supreme ideal, their minds will not be shaken.

Father's resolutely defending the interests of the corrupt ruling class in the Southern Song Dynasty was unacceptable to them. In the past, he felt that his father's actions were not worth it, and now he feels that it is problematic.

Working for a group of rotten and depraved people, isn't this sending yourself into the fire pit?

No, it won't work like this.

Given the opportunity, they would have persuaded their father not to continue clinging to that far-flung, impossible dream.

They think that their father also has the ideal of building a Datong society, but he was temporarily deceived. As long as he can see the reality clearly, he will definitely change his mind.

In this regard, Su Changsheng expressed his confidence.

It is human nature to have feelings for a father, and the ideal of revolution is the highest ideal of human beings. When there is a conflict between ideals and feelings, rational people will make rational choices.

The pursuit of ideals that twinkled in the eyes of the two brothers was definitely not false, and their initiative to seek help from the Ming Kingdom also showed their determination.

So Su Changsheng decided to gather the comrades who are currently on the land of Jinghu, and secretly set up the Jinghu branch of the Renaissance Society, so that the actions of the Renaissance Society in the land of Jinghu are organized, disciplined, targeted and directed.

At the same time, the Jinghu Branch of the Revival Society accepted the participation of two brothers, Zhang Shi and Zhang Piao.

It was not until then that Zhang Shi and Zhang Piao discovered that there were not a few Confucian scholars who secretly joined the Fuxing Society in Yuelu Academy and Chengnan Academy.

Taken together, 47 people from the two academies have secretly joined the Revival Association, but there is no organization yet, and they are only in contact with their superiors.

They are connecting with each other, and they are constantly attracting and developing new members to join them among the young scholar groups in Yuelu Academy and Chengnan Academy.

This momentum has already had the potential of sparking a prairie fire.

At the branch establishment meeting, the teacher and the students looked at each other, and then shared an embarrassing but polite smile.

It turns out that you also joined the Revival Society.jpg.

After the branch was established, Su Changsheng entrusted Zhang Shi and Zhang Piao with some important work, and hoped that they could use their identities to cover up as their students' Fuxing members and protect their safety under the high pressure of the Southern Song Dynasty. And try not to let the Southern Song officials discover their existence.

This is not an easy job.

In fact, after the "Hongwu Argument" was introduced into the Southern Song Dynasty, it has already caused a great shock among the scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty, and caused a huge impact.

More than one Zhang Shi felt that the Ming Kingdom and Su Yonglin were pursuing a real Datong society, and not only Zhang Shi felt that the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty was very decadent and was tarnishing their common ideal.

Therefore, there are really many people who pursue "Hong Wuzheng Lun" and Su Yonglin. It is definitely not what the Southern Song officials advertised. Some scholars oppose fallacies and heresies together.

When Zhang Shi was teaching his knowledge, there were open debates between students who were members of the Renaissance and other students in the academy. The debate between the two sides was very fierce, and there were some small frictions.

The positive side believes that the Datong society is being established in the Ming Dynasty, Su Yonglin's ideas are actually the ideal of the Datong society, and Su Yonglin is on the road to successfully build the Datong society.

The opposing side believes that Su Yonglin is deviating from the classics and distorting the meaning of the sage, talking about labor, equality, and the elimination of the privileged class. It should be known that Confucius also opposed his disciples engaging in manual labor.

Scholars are born to be high above the ground, not to eat chaff with scumbags!
The positive side was very angry, thinking that the negative side was misinterpreting the meaning of the sage.

Don't talk about paying, just look at enjoyment, and only stare at Datong society, but never move forward, just talk, and what you do is comparable to insects, a group of wastes who betray their ideals.

The opposing side believed that Zheng Fang was suspected of betraying the Song Dynasty to join the Ming Kingdom, and that they were traitors to the country.

The positive side was furious, accusing the negative side of being bloody and sinister, and slandering the classmates just by debating, which is simply inhuman!
In the end, the two sides fought a big fight, from a quarrel to a combination of fists and feet. You punched me and kicked me.

Many people have their teeth knocked out, and there are not a few people who have blue noses, swollen faces, and bleeding from their mouths and noses.

After that, the students within Yuelu Academy were divided.

Students who support "Hongwu Political Theory" and those who oppose "Hongwu Political Theory" are clearly divided.

The families of the students from both sides also had a lot of discord, and even spread to the government.

Small disturbances caused by small frictions among the students eventually caught the attention of the Changsha government.

This made the official and orthodox "great Confucians" take this seriously and suspicious, and even some local officials vaguely proposed to Zhang Shi that he hoped that Zhang Shi would rectify the interior of the academy.

The academy is a place to cultivate talents for the Southern Song Dynasty, not a place to cultivate traitors. If the academy in turn cultivated talents for the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't the Song Dynasty lose his wife and lose his army?
The emergence of this illegitimate trend of thought must be corrected, the status of the orthodox ideology of the Song Dynasty must be maintained, and heresies such as "Hongwu Zheng Lun" must not be allowed to flourish and harm scholars.

Zhang Shi should try his best to do this well.

If Zhang Shi can't do it well, then the government will do it in person.
