After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 324 Only for the future, don't be scolded by others as worthless
"Although you didn't kill people with knives, your tongue, words, and thoughts have already killed my eldest brother, and almost killed these three thousand warriors who made great contributions to Ming Dynasty."

"Lao Tzu's Zhou family was almost exterminated by you."

……

Lujia Village.

"Sir, do you think the emperor in ancient times should share the world with the common people, or with the scholar-bureaucrats?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Qin Yu on the hillside.

After these few days, Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt confused.

After all, what he did was something that the emperors of all dynasties had never done and never dared to do-clean up Confucianism.

After all, too many people died.

After making a very big decision that can change the fate of the future, many people often can't help but wonder whether they have done something wrong?Do it yourself, right?

Sweeping Confucianism is to completely stand against the scholar-bureaucrats.

It is to share the world with the common people thoroughly, not with the scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, leaving aside those civil and military ministers who were still locked up, he came to Lujia Village alone and asked Qin Yu this question.

"Actually, almost all the feudal emperors in China are sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats." Qin Yu said, "Even if some emperors put forward the slogan of sharing the world with the people, they are just shouting slogans."

"If there is only one emperor in history who really wants to share the world with the people, that is Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"You also like to read ancient history. Can you answer a question for me?" Qin Yu said, "If you can answer it, it proves that you have a very high opinion on ancient Chinese history."

"What's the problem?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Why did our ancient times have Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Opera...these phenomena of literary prosperity appeared? Why did our ancients achieve brilliant achievements in literature?" Qin Yu said.

"Because it was a prosperous age and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, so there was a grand cultural event." Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

"Wrong! Your answer is very superficial." Qin Yudao, "The reason why ancient China can achieve brilliant achievements in literature, and why almost every dynasty has outstanding cultural representatives, is because the ancient emperors have been cooperating with scholar-officials. world."

"To put it simply, the ancient scholar-bureaucrats could live a good life without working. That's why they have the leisure to spend time on writing and developing literature."

"How many poets and poets in ancient times were real farmers?"

"It's ridiculous that even those pastoral poets who are good at describing pastoral scenery are born in nobles or even officials. When they describe pastoral scenery, they have beauty in their eyes, and they are all poetic and picturesque."

"In fact, in the eyes of tired farmers, the countryside is not beautiful. Inside the countryside is their sweat, blood and tears."

"Well, well..." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Mr. is right."

"Then let me ask you again." Qin Yu said, "Why in our ancient times, there were no technological inventions or scientific achievements that matched our literary achievements? For thousands of years, there is only one of the four great inventions."

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Because the ancient emperors never shared the world with the common people," Qin Yu said.

"People don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes every day, and worry about how to survive all day long. How can there be scientific inventions and discoveries? And scientific inventions and discoveries are often produced in practice."

"That is to say, if you don't share the world with the people, you will greatly curb the creativity of the general public."

"Just imagine, if Watt was worrying about how to survive every day, could he improve the steam engine? If Newton couldn't open the pot at home, and there were only a few grains of rice in the rice jar, would he have the mind to think about why the apples fell? He wouldn't Instead of thinking about why the apple fell down, I would think about how I should ask the rich man to borrow some rice tomorrow.”

"In the face of the social reality that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world, the common people live like ants, not like human beings, their creativity is suppressed to freezing point, and they are domesticated into loyal slaves by Confucianism."

"It's strange that people like this can have inventions and creations."

"And those scholar-bureaucrats who play with words and ink will not go to produce and practice in person."

"It's not surprising that the development of science and technology in China has stagnated for thousands of years."

"Mmm, yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again.

"So, ancient Chinese literature was very developed. Scientific inventions and discoveries have remained stagnant for thousands of years. Even gunpowder was originally invented by us, but its development and application were in the West." Qin Yu said.

"In the end, the evil consequences of sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats finally came."

"When Western civilization opened our door with strong ships and sharp guns, China experienced a hundred years of humiliation, eight countries invaded, the land was cut off with indemnity, hundreds of people beat our tens of thousands of corpses all over the field...

"A Japanese country the size of a projectile almost made China subjugate and exterminate its species. The Jinling massacre killed 30 people. At that time, a soldier of the Japanese country sent a letter back to a friend, which said: Killing them is easier and more enjoyable than killing a bird. We Having obtained the capital of the Central Plains, and the woman who obtained the capital, this is a hopeless nation, and the 5000-year history is of no use to them..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes were like knives.

"Literary achievements are certainly something to be proud of, but they can't be eaten, and they can't resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Moreover, when they spread abroad, because of cultural differences, others still can't appreciate them, so they can only keep their own self-admiration."

"So, do you think it is better to share the world with the common people, or to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats?"

"To put it simply, sharing the world with the scholar-officials is at most a dynasty and adding some literary works. Sharing the world with the common people is conducive to the society's progress towards scientific civilization."

"It is conducive to the growth of the entire nation and will not be humiliated by foreign enemies in the future."

"We already have the answer to this question." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

"Huh!" He let out a long breath.It is right for us to thoroughly clean up Confucianism this time.The essence of Confucianism is to share the world with the literati and tame the common people into obedient and loyal servants.

Only by completely eradicating Confucianism can we truly achieve the goal of sharing the world with the common people.

Otherwise, they will be the biggest ideological obstacle for the emperor and the people to share the world.

Although we let the land of Huaxia burn into flames and blood flow into rivers this time, it is better than being scolded by foreigners as a hopeless nation in the future.It's better than being told that 5000 years of history is useless.

……

"By the way, sir just said that the only emperor in history who really wanted to share the world with the people was Zhu Yuanzhang?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
