Chapter 233: Giving Small Profits To Change Public Opinion [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe]
Suddenly, King Chu Zhu Zhen thought of a question, looked up at Yan Changqing and said:
"Then what if hundreds of thousands or nearly a million Confucian students, writers and students also gave the people of the world one liter of rice, or even two liters of rice, to defend Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others from being wronged? !!”
“Wouldn’t this bring the public opinion of the people of the world back to their side again?!”
Hearing the question from Chu King Zhu Zhen, Yan Changqing smiled and said:
"First, there are nearly 60 million people in the world. If each of them is given one liter of rice, then it will be 60 million liters of rice, which is six million stones of rice!!!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, six million shi, which is almost one-third to three-quarters of the total annual income in Southern China today!!!"
"Whether hundreds of thousands or nearly a million Confucian students and scholars in the world can afford these six million shi of food, it can be done."
"But no Confucian student or literary student would be willing to pay these six million dan for food."
"Because if these six million stones of food fall on a specific person, or a certain group of Confucian students or writers, it will be enough to wipe out the wealth of their families for several generations, or even more than ten generations. null!!!"
"Do you think those Confucian students and literary students would be willing to do such things that harm themselves and benefit the people?!!"
"After all, the reason why they complained about Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others was essentially for themselves, or to safeguard the collective interests of Confucian civil servants. 11
"If Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others are not dead yet, then through them they can incite public opinion among the people and complain about them, and finally let Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others be acquitted
"Then there may be a chance to recoup the six million stones of food they have invested now."
"But Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others are already dead, and grass has grown on their graves."
"Even if they are allowed to aggrieve and 'rehabilitate' Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others, perhaps Confucianism as a whole can gain great benefits" || ’
"But if you break it down to individuals, the individual benefits will definitely be far less than the upfront payment of six million stones of food.
"So these six million stones of grain, combined with the hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Confucian students and literary students."
"Even if they can give each of the 60 million people in the world a liter of food, they will not be willing to give the people of the world this liter of food."
"After all, in their eyes, the scholars want to be superior, monopolize everything, and enjoy the benefits, while the common people want to support the scholars and support them!!!"
"How can there be such a thing as them providing for the people and giving one liter of rice to the people!!!"
At the bottom of the podium, I heard Yan Changqing say, "The scholars want to be superior, monopolize everything, and enjoy the benefits, while the common people want to provide for women."
Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all felt anger in their hearts for no reason.
Originally, they were afraid of, dissatisfied with, and suppressed Confucianism.
Now that they hear the condescending attitude of Confucians, they can't help but feel even more disgusted with the Confucian students, writers, and officials who control the right to speak in public opinion and the interpretation of "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man".
Because even the emperors and princes do not despise the common people so much, why do those Confucian students, scholars and civil servants despise the common people so much?!
【The status of scholars has been raised too high!!!】
[The status of Confucianism has also been raised too high!!!]
[Perhaps the imperial court treated Confucians and scholars too well before and indulged Confucians and scholars too much!!!]
[It is necessary to take back some of the privileges of scholars and suppress the status of Confucian students and literary students!!!]
...
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all had a common thought flashing through their heads.
"Secondly, if there are really such Confucian students and literary students who want to give six million dan of food to distribute to the people of the world and "rehabilitate" the injustices of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others
"Then this kind of behavior, I think, is a kind of invitation to buy people's hearts, right?!!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're trying to buy people's support, but you're also claiming injustice for Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others, saying, 'Rehabilitate them. What's the point of this?!"
"I strongly suggest that your Majesty investigate whether those people are the rebel accomplices of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others?!!"
"And the six million shi of grain, are they the "illegal gains" made by Hu Weiyong, Li Shan and others who took bribes and exploited the people's wealth!!!"
"If so, check it as soon as possible and collect it into the national treasury so that it can be better used for the operation of the court and to contribute to the people of the world.
Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled.
There are some things that the court can do, but if others do it, it is not allowed.
For example, the imperial court can give one liter of rice to the people of the world, but if others give one liter of rice to the people of the world, it is suspected of buying people's hearts.
And if you want to buy people's support, you can use it as an excuse to rebel, and then all the nine races will be punished!
Hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily and said:
"."If there are such treacherous and unscrupulous people, and there is no need to put them to trial, we can be sure that they must be the remnants of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and other rebellious officials and traitors!!!"
"We must confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. Put them together with Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others to kneel down and carry a monument, so that they will be spit upon by the people of the world and will be infamy for thousands of years!!!"
Yan Changqing nodded and continued:
"Similarly, if you want the people all over the world to think that "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" is false [then Song Dynasty will pass on the results of the refutation of "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man"."
"We will also provide some benefits to the people all over the world. For example, as long as the people can recite the false reasons of "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man", then we will give them some oil and salt for free."
"Then it will naturally be possible for people all over the world to accept the conclusion that "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" is false without even knowing it.'
(Dehao Zhao) "After all, whether the "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man" is true or false, for the people of the world, it is also more important than getting some oil and salt for free!!!"
"This is a way to change people's hearts and minds by giving small profits."
"There are no other disadvantages except that it consumes more money and food."
"But the imperial court has confiscated the nine tribes of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others. I think they should have a mere six million shi of food and property."
"If we say that Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others have been corrupted and bribed for so many years, they don't even have food and property worth six million dan.
"Then I don't know whether I should say they are not greedy enough, or whether I should say they are too incompetent and too timid."
