Chapter 206 Personality Cultism
"My lord, if you treat Cai Yong like this, you may be scolded by the scholars all over the world. Although the old man is useless, he still controls the tongues of the scholars all over the world. He is the leader and leader of the gentry..." Fazheng carefully accompanied Ma Chao As he walked, he felt that Ma Chao's mind had been completely changed by Ma Teng's death.It made Ma Chao even a little bit unrecognizable to himself.

Ruthless, unfeeling, arbitrary, even dare to risk the world's disgrace, provoking the dignity of the gentry...

"The gentry in the world are only for fools. If they are not used by me, I can kill them!" Ma Chao said these words softly, and he already had a vague usage for the gentry group in his mind.Although this usage is extremely dangerous, Ma Chao feels that this is what he has to do.

"Qin Yu from Shenbu Sect, your father Fazhen, have you arrived in Fufeng?" Ma Chao asked as he walked on the road to Ma's barracks.

"Father arrived last night, and Qin Yu from the Divine Divination Sect will also be here this afternoon." Fazheng replied, not knowing what Ma Chao wanted to do.

"Very good, Shenbumen agreed to join the Ma family because a certain person agreed to their theory that they could spread their theories under the Ma family's rule. As for the opening of a church, a certain person has already told Meng Da." Ma Chao turned around. Come, suddenly looked at Fazheng, and remained silent for a long time.

And Fazheng was stared at by Ma Chao, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before unconsciously arose in his heart, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"

"The people of those schools dreamed so hard that they could spread their ideas. And a certain person grasped this point and made the Shenbu family loyal. Therefore, from today onwards, Fufeng County and all Ma Clans rule, They no longer teach Confucianism alone, and let a hundred schools of thought contend and discuss academically. But for any schools that are useful for governing the world and strengthening the country, the Ma family will provide lectures and provide protection..." Ma Chao said, and there seemed to be an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes , seems unwilling, seems panic...

"My lord, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, all the princes have used Confucian classics to enlighten the people. If you do what you do, if you allow the school to flourish, I'm afraid..." Fazheng felt cold all over, although he I don't know why Ma Chao made this decision, but instinctively, he felt that this was a game of playing with fire.

"That's right, school disputes are more important than swords and soldiers. But if we talk about suppressing the influence and arrogance of the gentry, it must be like this. What's more, today's Confucianism is still the way of Confucius and Mencius? Or is it 'the people are the most important, the society is second, and the monarch The Confucian way of lightness?"

"My lord's intention?..." Fazheng was stunned, vaguely, he seemed to have guessed Ma Chao's intention.

"That's right. To deal with these scholars, we still need to let them bite dogs." Ma Chao glanced at Fazheng again, and said, "You are rigorous in your actions, and you are willing to be kind and friendly. What's more valuable is that you have a very good sense of strategy. Therefore, At this time, only you know and I know, and you will be responsible for the contention of a hundred schools of thought!"

"The lord is rough, he is rough and shallow, and he may not be able to take on the big job..." Fazheng knew what Ma Chao asked him to do!This kind of thing, which can be said to affect an era, was pressed on the shoulders of a 16-year-old boy, which made him a little unacceptable. He said in a murmur, "What's more, my subordinates don't know how to implement it at all..."

"It's okay, I don't know these things, I can learn slowly. The preliminary work is also very simple, I will tell you two points, and you will know what it means." Ma Chao smiled and patted Fazheng on the shoulder, the cold flames in his eyes flickering.

Fazheng hurriedly bowed and listened to Ma Chao's instruction.At this moment, although he was unwilling, he also understood one thing: he and Ma Chao had nothing to compete with.Because, the difference in position has caused the two of them to go to two different extremes.

"First, it is a point that someone said earlier. It is okay to contend among a hundred schools of thought. But you can't let it go. Anything related to 'the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least' and 'there is no master in the world, only those who are virtuous and capable will get it. ' can be taught and disseminated. However, there is one example of all other non-academic or demagogic superstitions..." Ma Chao looked at Fazheng who treated him respectfully, and didn't know if he was right, but he still said with a smile That word: "Kill!"

After Fazheng heard it, he didn't react much, but replied: "My lord is wise, this witchcraft technique, if allowed to harm the people, is more serious than the rebellion that started. My lord, in the name of an academic contending among a hundred schools of thought, but It is used to build momentum for the Ma family, this is a great plan! It's just..."

"It's just that I'm afraid that in the future, when I'm in the country, these thoughts may bring troubles to me, isn't it?" Ma Chao smiled, and he had considered this result.

"That's true. Since the lord has already thought about it, I don't know how to solve it..."

"At this time and then at that time, didn't Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to shout the slogan of 'Princes and generals should have kindness'? But after he became emperor, what did he do?" Ma Chao continued to smile. In the sun, the snow-white teeth were shining with porcelain white light: "If a certain person can really win the world in the future, this trend will naturally change. Naturally, there are still a small number of educated people in the world. , put all the world's talents into the net, and give all the knowledge of martial arts to the emperor's family, then the world will naturally be peaceful."

"The imperial examination system?" Fazheng was puzzled. He dared to bet that this was the first time he had heard of this term.

"Oh, this imperial examination takes Senai..." Ma Chao was about to explain this examination system to Fazheng, but thinking that the time is not yet ripe, it may be useless to say more, so he continued: "In the future, when this stage is reached, I'll explain it to you of course."

Fazheng lowered his head again. At this moment, he began to have the suspicion that he shouldn't have: Why did this person know his name on the first meeting?Can come up with so many unheard of inventions?Can a set of effective 'three provinces system' be formulated?Also, a series of New Deal reforms in the counties...

Thinking of these, Fazheng couldn't calm down even more.He felt that he might have caught a big secret.But it's so secretive and unbelievable...

Shaking his head, after getting rid of these unwanted thoughts, Fazheng asked: "The first one, my subordinates already understand it. But I don't know what the master's second strategy is?"

"The second point is that if there are a hundred schools of thought among the people, the Ma family also needs to have its own tongue." Ma Chao said, but he was hesitating in his heart: Should we bring out the personality cult?

The reasons for the cult of personality are very complicated.The private ownership of its feudal society and the customary force of small production are the main social roots of the cult of personality.

'Small producers cannot represent themselves, so they must need others to represent them.Their representative must at the same time be their master, an authority over them, an unlimited governmental power.This power protects them from other classes and gives them rain and sunshine from above. 'This passage basically explains the meaning of personality cultism.It can be seen that personality cultism is a kind of extremism that hinders the development of democracy.But in the late Han Dynasty, it is conceivable that personality cultism can completely defeat those feudalisms!
Personality cultism, the person it chooses to be admired must be the person who represents their interests.And Ma Chao himself can only be regarded as a powerful landlord class, representing the interests of small production, and has irreconcilable contradictions with the feudal landlord class.Therefore, if Ma Chao is deified as a great figure, or even a representative of power, then he will completely stand against those feudal landlords!
And to deify a person and guide the academic atmosphere under the rule, it is reliable that the public opinion of those in power dominates!What Ma Chao meant was to have Fazheng come up with an official propagandist, from time to time, put up some personality cult theories, and instill them in the army and the people, so as to disintegrate and wear down the influence of those schools...

And when Fazheng listened to Ma Chao's words about "stepping on the seven stars, overcoming his father as king"; He murmured:

"My lord, could it be that today you revealed your real body?"

Looking at Fazheng's virtuous behavior, Ma Chao clearly felt that Fazheng was not playing around, but had an expression of "whether others believe it or not, anyway, I believe it".

"If you, my lord, are not the one destined by destiny, how could you create the bellows fetish? How could you discover the mystery of the beast charcoal? How could you forge evil gold? How could you brew strong wine? How could you make fairy grass tea……"

Ma Chao listened to Fa Zheng talking non-stop, his expression fluctuated, and he felt that his previous worries were all in vain.In desperation, he had no choice but to pat Fazheng on the shoulder again: "This is a secret, and I have no choice but to reveal it..."
