Steel Dynasty - Chapter 843

[Chapter 841 Yan Shenggong]

“Hahaha…”

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the imperial study room. Xiao Ming had just learned what happened in Qingzhou Bank. It was indeed interesting to him.

“As the emperor said, the Confucius Mansion in Qufu is very knowledgeable. Today’s issuance of the currency was unexpectedly smooth.” Pang Yukun gently stroked his beard and smiled.

The implementation of new currency is what he is most worried about, because money involves the most fundamental interests of the people, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, causing dissatisfaction between the court and the people.

But Confucianism suddenly intervened and came up with great principles to solve the problem in a short time, which made him feel relieved.

“Qingzhou Mansion is the land of Qilu in the past. The people here respect Confucianism more than other places, so it is not surprising. However, the Confucianists gave me such a big gift, and I am afraid that what I asked for is not too small.” Xiao Ming said thoughtfully. .

Pang Yukun was scheming, and he had already seen through this matter, so he said: “The contemporary Confucian patriarch Kong Huairen only has one son, named Kong Shengze. This time the Confucian scholar in Qingzhou Bank is him. Today Kong Huairen asked his son to personally take action, I am afraid it is also for the sake of Let him have a good future.”

Xiao Ming nodded. Since becoming the emperor, he has seen through many things. Sometimes it is necessary to use people he doesn’t like for the benefit of the country, because these people can bring changes to the country. For example, Kong Huairen and others.

In terms of technology, he has technological crystals, and no one can hinder him in this regard, but in the spiritual aspect of national governance, he needs the assistance of Confucianism. After all, compared to technology, the spiritual outlook of a country is equally important.

Coming from later generations, he deeply understood that a country rises from barbarism and is destroyed by the Virgin. From ancient times to the present, both humans and countries have always followed the law of the jungle, and this has never changed.

“In this case, it seems that I want to meet them. Now it is time for New Confucianism to be promoted in Great Chongqing. Otherwise, ignorance will continue to hold back the development of the country.”

“Then I will inform the two of them to meet me when I get back.” Pang Yukun He bowed, said goodbye and went back.

Looking at Pang Yukun’s leaving figure, Xiao Ming thought thoughtfully. Technology and ideas are the two cornerstones of building a country. For him, technology only enriches the country’s products and arms the army, but it is ideas that ensure the stability of a country. The foundation, otherwise no matter how many weapons you have, they will only be used as wedding clothes for others.

There are no problems in science and technology, but ideological construction is still very backward. This is the fundamental reason why he attaches great importance to cooperation with Confucianism, because the inheritance of thousands of years has made Confucianism deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in the Great Chongqing Kingdom. To put it figuratively, the Great Chongqing Kingdom Confucianism is equivalent to another crystal, but this crystal does not convey technology but different ideas.

Now that the barbarians have been driven to the grasslands, the northern part of the Great Yu Kingdom has gradually stabilized. The next step is to unify the country and enter the colonial era.

He didn’t want the literati in this country to have a Madonna attack at this time, and disgust him with some talk about the immorality of foreign conquests and the idea of conquering foreign races with benevolence.

He is also not happy to see things like earthquakes and floods being said to be a sign that he, the emperor, has lost his moral integrity.

With this thought in mind, Pang Yukun left and returned after a while, with two neatly dressed people following behind him.

“Kong Huairen of Qufu, Kong Shengze comes to see your majesty.”

After entering the imperial study, Kong Huairen and Kong Shengze bowed at the same time.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Ming had been sizing them up when they appeared outside the imperial study room. Kong Huairen was about forty years old, with a dark complexion, a round and slightly fat face, a pair of slender eyes, and Kong Shengze, on the other hand, is about twenty years old, has a good skin, and is much more handsome than his father.

At first glance, he even suspected that Kong Shengze belonged to Lao Wang next door.

“Two Confucians, please rise.” Xiao Ming showed a gentle smile, appearing harmless to humans and animals. He needed to test them, and now was not the time to scare them.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Only then did Kong Huairen and his son dare to look at Xiao Ming.

After the victory of the Northern Expedition, they had been a little on tenterhooks. It was not until Ge Yiren appeared that the entire Kong family settled down. Then they immediately went to Qingzhou to avoid offending Long Yan.

And now that the outcome has been decided, he is sure that Xiao Ming has secured the throne. As for the King of Chu, he is not optimistic at all, because in the eyes of the Kong family, the barbarians are much more dangerous than the King of Chu.

The Confucius family has been inherited for thousands of years, and they still have the ability to understand the current situation in the world.

After sizing each other up, Kong Huairen spoke first after a brief silence: “Long live my emperor. Kong is late. I hope your Majesty will forgive me.”

“Yanshenggong is overly worried. The Kong family in Qufu is from Dayu. “

How dare I blame the country’s thousand-year-old family? It’s disrespectful for me to go to the Confucius family to pay respects before I ascend the throne.” Xiao Ming said in a nonchalant manner. The person who has achieved great success in each generation of the Confucius family is called Yan Shenggong. The first generation of Duke Yansheng was Kong Huairen.

When Kong Huairen heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. When Ge Yiren went to the Kong family, he talked about the emperor.

Unlike the previous emperors, this emperor’s thoughts were unique and elusive, and he could not be treated as an ordinary person.

While at the Kong family, Ge Yiren also talked about the emperor’s thoughts and New Confucianism.

He was initially very angry about this matter, because Confucianism has been its own system for thousands of years and is not influenced by kings. It only needs to maintain the royal family of all dynasties. However, this emperor changed Confucianism too harshly.

But his anger dissipated because of Ge Yiren’s advice, because Ge Yiren was quite sure that if the Confucian government did not cooperate, the emperor could completely burn books and humiliate Confucianism, causing Confucianism to disappear completely.

“What the emperor said was to discredit Kong. This matter is because the Kong family has neglected the emperor. It is not the emperor who has neglected the Kong family. It is also because Kong himself is stupid and made such a big mistake. From now on, Kong will never dare to do anything. Just by the emperor’s orders.”

Kong Shengze also turned pale. Within a few days of arriving in Qingzhou, they could feel the prosperity and power of Qingzhou. If the emperor wanted to do something, no one could really stop him.

It is the responsibility of each generation to inherit the Confucian family. Compared with changing some Confucian ideas, survival is the most important. Therefore, after weighing the left and right, they finally accepted Ge Yiren’s suggestion.

“Your Majesty, Great Chongqing is undergoing rapid changes. The Confucius Mansion ignored this and became a frog in the well. In order to think about what the Emperor wants, I am willing to go to Qingzhou University and become an ordinary student. In the future, I will become the Emperor. Share the worries.” Kong Shengze said nervously.

Pang Yukun was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Ming, his eyes shining with excitement. If the future Duke Yansheng could study at Qingzhou University, this would be a landmark event in the secularization of Confucianism.

From then on, Confucian scholars no longer had any reason to be noble.

PS: I recommend a friend’s book “Stay-at-Home Dad”, which is a good two-dimensional novel. If you like cute girls, you can read it.
