The mainstream Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty was the Cheng-Zhu school of thought.
It was also the so-called eight-part essay.
Although science sounded ridiculous.
However, if one were to look at the entire history of Confucianism, in fact, the Confucian school of thought of the Cheng and Zhu dynasties was still standing on the shoulders of Confucius and Mencius.
Obtaining knowledge through the study of things was another strengthening of Confucius and Mencius 'Confucianism.
In Zhu Houzhao's opinion.
The so-called Cheng and Zhu Confucianism was better than Confucius and Mencius Confucianism.
This was because it was more suitable for consolidating the imperial power!
That was why Zhu Yuanzhang had used the Confucian school of thought as the designated book for the Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations.
However, for Zhu Houzhao.
What he wanted was not just to consolidate the imperial power.
He also hoped to eliminate those Confucian scholars who had relied on the Cheng-Zhu school of thought to hold the world's right to speak in the hundred years of Ming Dynasty's history!
Even in the future.
There should not be any class that could control the right to speak anymore.
The entire world.
Those who had the right to speak.
It could only be him!
"Your Majesty, do you want me to study diligently and preach to the world?”
Shouren Wang couldn't understand Zhu Houzhao's words.
"No."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head.
"In this world, be it Confucius or Mencius, Confucianism, or the study of the heart, or the Daoist scriptures or Buddhist scriptures, I will not wipe out any of them, nor will I devote myself to any one.”
"What I want to do is to give every book a specific edition number, make mandatory annotations, and publish them in a standardized manner.”
"Upgraded version number?"
Shouren Wang was a little confused.
However, he quickly understood what he meant.
"There are countless books in the world. If all of them are given edition numbers, the difficulty of this will not be small.”
"That's why I called you here."
Zhu Houzhao threw the imperial edict on the table to the young eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch also walked to Wang Shouren in small steps.
"Minister Wang, welcome the decree."
Wang Shouren also reacted and quickly knelt down."I, Wang Shouren, welcome the decree."
"By the heavens, the emperor has issued an edict!"
" I've seen the books in the world. They are in a mess. Although Emperor Yongle compiled the Yongle Grand Ceremony in the past, the people are unable to use it. Therefore, I've decided to confer the edition number of the books in the world today."
"Other than the six departments, there is another department called the Ministry of Education. It is responsible for the numbering of books and the annotation of books.”
"Your subject Wang Shouren, receive the decree!"
Wang Shouren raised his hand above his head and took the imperial edict from the young eunuch.
Without a doubt.
This job was very challenging!
But Wang Shouren.
The thing he was least afraid of was challenges!
Therefore, after receiving the edict.
He wasn't worried. Instead, he was eager to try.
"As expected of someone I value."
Looking at Wang Shouren's expression, Zhu Houzhao laughed.""I will transfer 20 million taels of silver from the national treasury to you as start-up funds!”
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Getting the book number and annotation rights seemed simple.
However, it would actually greatly affect the existing interests.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't be stingy!
Of course.
If someone else was in charge of this matter, he would not have gone so far as to stake 20 million taels.
For example, Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe, who was supervising the work, was speechless.
However, Wang Shouren was in charge.
Zhu Houzhao was still willing to believe it.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best!”
Wang Shoucheng cupped his fists.
His face was filled with determination.
After watching Wang Shouren leave.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the books on the table.
These were the classics of each family.
Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, the art of war, and so on!
"In the past, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, they once said that the kings and generals would rather have guts, causing the world to rebel.”
"It's a pity that he doesn't know that kings and generals naturally have balls.”
And the so-called seed.
These were the items in front of Zhu Houzhao.
Many people in the future did not know.
Many ancient books were not like the classical Chinese in textbooks.
It was even more difficult to understand!
This also resulted in the fact that even if one obtained a book, if one did not have a relevant way to break sentences.
He would definitely not understand it!
And even if there was a way to break sentences.
There were also countless notes on the same book.
broken sentences and annotations.
These two mountains that stood in front of the common people gave the so-called Confucian scholars who had read the two books a great right to explain!
Let them.
Bullying the Heavens!
He abused the foolish people!
Zhu Houzhao created the book's version number.
The first problem to be solved was this!
That was the right of public opinion that he wanted to obtain.
After settling the book edition number.
He also planned to start a newspaper office, a publishing house, and a series of other things.
The high ground of public opinion.
If he didn't come to occupy it, those Confucians would!
As for the second reason…
Naturally, it was to open up the minds of the people!
The policy of obscuring the people had always been implemented throughout the dynasties.
This was because it would be easier to rule.
But to Zhu Houzhao, the wisdom of the people was destined to be a treasure box.
After opening it.
It would bring endless possibilities to Da Ming!
If ten thousand commoners had wisdom, then the smartest one among them would be one in ten thousand!
Talent,
It would surge out endlessly!
However…
If these talents were not used well.
It was even more likely to cause an impact on the foundation of the entire Great Ming Dynasty!
For example, during the Warring States Period.
The country of Wei had as many talents as there were hairs on an ox, and all kinds of powerful dragons crossed the river.
But in the end…
All of them had gone to other countries.
However, for such a hidden danger.
Zhu Houzhao did not care!
He now had the emperor chat group in his hands.
If the world was still taken away by some ambitious person, then he would be convinced!
"Next, we'll sit and watch the world rise.”
Zhu Houzhao slowly walked out of his leopard room.
He looked at the distant horizon and the dazzling sun.
He narrowed his eyes.
Now, his ambition was not limited to a small big Ming.
He waited until he was ready.
Destined
A strong dragon came from the east and roamed the world!
and that day
It wasn't far!
