"Nowadays, there are large and small clan forces all over the world, and it is not easy to rise. But fortunately, I presided over the development of the southern Xinjiang area. Now there is a large number of immigrants there, and no clan power has been formed yet. As long as our Fu family moves there, Within three generations, the Fu family in Southern Xinjiang will rise. Well, the name Nanjiang is not very pleasant, so why not change it to Lingnan. Lingnan Fu family!"
Fu Tianchou became excited after hearing this. The so-called Confucian scholar-officials cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. This family is still in the country, and this family is not just your wife and children who call it home, but the entire clan: "If you can do this, I will die without regrets!"
Fu Shuo laughed loudly: "Although our Fu family has such good conditions, it is not easy to become a thousand-year-old family. The most important thing is that we must not forget it!"
"What?" Fu Tianchou thought about it, what is the most important thing in the clan? Ancestral hall? Clan field? Clan rules? Fu Tianchou thought a lot in that moment.
"Education! The most important thing for a thousand-year-old family is education. It must ensure that talents come out in large numbers in every generation. This is the foundation of a thousand-year-old family!"
Hearing this, Fu Tianchou suddenly understood and shouted: "Not bad, not bad!" For example, the Zhu family has produced so many princes, generals and ministers. Could it be that they were all promoted because of the power of this family?
¡°Perhaps he can do this when Fu Tianchou and Fu Suo are around. They placed a large number of Fu family disciples in important places in the imperial court, but what if they are no longer there? What if you can no longer control the power of the court? The beauty of a gentleman will be broken in five lifetimes. The dynasty only lasted for a dozen generations and two to three hundred years!
The aristocratic family relies on education, and every generation of talents must be endless. Only in this way can the family's long-term prosperity be maintained. Even if the dynasty changes, as long as the family has talents, it can still prosper. Just look at the history of those thousand-year-old Zhu family and Zhou family to know clearly!
"We need to set up a clan school in the clan so that everyone, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, must go to school when they reach the right age. The clan must set rules so that the young can be educated and the old can be supported!" Fu said with hollow eyes. , seemed to be looking towards an unknown place.
Fu Tianqiu was excited when he heard this, and suddenly sighed: "Now that you and I serve the country, if we can make the world educated for its young and well-educated for its old age, then it can be called the great unity of the world, and the rule of the ancient saints can be restored!" This is the wish of the Confucian ministers, who all want to recreate a legendary ancient prosperous age. Just like what this poem says: To the kings Yao and Shun, and then make the customs pure!
"How can it be so easy? There are hundreds of millions of people in the world" Speaking of this, Fu Yao is much more clear-headed than Fu Tianqiu. In ancient times, such a basic welfare system could not be achieved. Without him, productivity would be as high as Just less than that.
The productivity of agricultural society has its limits and cannot support such large-scale welfare security. This is only possible after mass production of machines!
"Yes," Fu Tianchou sighed: "Now that you and I serve the country, although we cannot reach the age of ancient sages, we still want to make the world peaceful and stable."
Fu said that he was thinking about the potatoes he saw in the sea market, and slowly he had a plan in his stomach. There are only two ways to achieve long-term peace and stability. One is to rely on high-yielding crops to solve the problem of food and clothing. Secondly, it is to open up new and more fertile territories so that there will be enough room for survival and development in the future.
The two walked and chatted, and then arrived at the small lake again. A while ago, a lot of things were demolished in the Imperial Prefecture for security reasons. Everything that was not conducive to defense and could be used by assassins was torn down. Even the garden became empty.
I finally understand why although the palace in the palace is so high and spacious, the passages are also neat and clean. But not even a tree was left, just for fear that an assassin would suddenly jump out under any tree the emperor was walking under
The power of the emperor can make people own the world, but the price paid is not small. The topic between the two returned to imperial power, and Fu Tianchou asked: "That's right, you haven't said what you are going to do yet? Qingping, you know that there is no dynasty that lasts forever, why do you still say this? Such ridiculous words?"
Fu said and laughed: "How ridiculous! I was originally thinking that it would be best to divide the world into two or three countries to compete with each other"
"No way!" As a supporter of Confucian unity, Fu Tianchou never expected that Fu Yue would have such an idea. But when he impulsively shouted out and tried to convince Fu, he was speechless.
From Fu Shuo's point of view, the world was divided into two or three countries. The monarch's power will be severely restricted, and it will no longer be possible to compete with the immortal! And in order to overwhelm other countries, any country can only desperately seek help from the immortal way. You can control the situation in the world without any effort!
This is why places that believe in monotheistic religions are often divided into dozens of small countries.Here's why. Imperial power and divine power are inherently contradictory. The Heavenly Pillar of Luck comes from the heart of the human heart, and Shinto likes faith also comes from the heart of the heart. If you have more, I will have less! Therefore, throughout history, the eras in which the divine power became more prosperous were the eras in which the imperial power was in decline.
"Yes, absolutely not!" Fu Shuo said with a sigh. Immortality does not require faith. Gods and immortals are actually divided into gods and immortals, but they are two different systems. They were just confused together in ancient times!
There is no need to believe in incense in the way of immortality. What requires incense and faith is Shinto!
"But whether it is the divine way or the immortal way, it is not the way of humanity. The so-called humanity means the reproduction and survival of hundreds of millions of people. And neither Shinto nor Immortal is a good solution to humanity!
The immortal way seeks detachment and freedom, so naturally it will not wallow in the human way. However, Shinto seeks incense and faith. In many cases, it is a cancer-like existence for the development of humanity.
In the earliest stages of any civilization, there is almost always a stage of Shinto rule. That is the so-called mythical age, such as the Yin Shang Era of the so-called Yin Shigui, the Mayan civilization, the Dark Ages of the Mediterranean, etc. They were all eras ruled by Shinto, but this kind of era was precisely the era when humanity was at its most declining.
In that era, everything revolved around the gods. There is nothing more than building huge and magnificent palaces and sacrificing slaves to the gods to please them.
Only after the age of mythology ended and the shackles of the gods were cast off did humanity begin to truly develop. Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. This sentence is most vivid in Shinto.
When the power of God is high and powerful, it will naturally slip into the path of arrogance and luxury. Therefore, Shinto can only be a supplement to humanity, not everything.
Looking at ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, what is most suitable for this stage is that apart from Confucianism, there is no second thought!
It is because Confucianism represents humanity that Confucian sages dare to shout about heavenly principles and righteousness. Their power actually comes from humanity.
"It's a pity that Confucianism has declined to the extreme now. We should vigorously support the revival of Confucianism!" Humanity practices Confucianism, detachment practices immortality. As for mastering the laws of heaven and earth, we still need to rely on the divine way. The three coexist in the world. The foundation of this world is perfect!
At this moment, Fu Yuo thought about a lot of things, and even established the order of the world in the future. But back to reality, splitting the world into several small countries to check and balance each other, in addition to ensuring the transcendent status of immortality, there is another level of consideration. A country without permanent enemies will perish!
"What a pity. If Fu Yue hadn't gone overseas, he would really have done this. It's a pity that when he went overseas, he saw that Middle Earth was as tempting as fat meat, and he didn't know how many foreign gods were ready to take action. It would be unwise to split China into several countries at this time. It is simply a waste of martial arts!
"It's not difficult to say that it's easy to guarantee that the country will last forever. It's just eight words It's just a matter of governing with an arch and being enlightened by gods!" Fu said calmly.
"Govern by hanging the arch, and understand by the gods?" Fu Tianchou chewed these eight words silently, and he had some understanding in his heart, but he couldn't express it.
Fu said with a smile, the power of Confucian scholars and officials in this world is too small and has not yet developed to the point of resisting the imperial power. In another world, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song and Ming Dynasties had been fighting for hundreds of years to "let the Holy Emperor rule from the top"!
In the Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats only shouted that the scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor would rule the world together. In the Ming Dynasty, it reached its peak. They wanted the emperor to be nothing more than a rubber stamp, or a ceremonial head of state. It was best to hide in the deep palace. Don't come out for the rest of your life, and don't care about the smallest things.
The scholar-bureaucrats called this the Holy Emperor hanging down his clothes to manage the world, and they also made up some sayings such as the master is comatose above and the ministers are clearing the silt below. It was all for this purpose. It was probably because Lao Zhu killed the scholar-officials too harshly at the beginning of the founding of the country, so the backlash from the scholar-officials in later generations became more severe. I'm afraid that the emperor will have power again and do whatever he wants!
The Confucians in this world definitely do not have such courage. There are only two or three big cats and kittens left!
To put it bluntly, evacuating the emperor's power is called ruling from the top down. And does God understand it? But he completely deified the king's power and became a god on earth. On the one hand, he has no power in his hands and no longer governs the people with his own hands. On the other hand, he is deified. Only distance creates a sense of mystery and beauty.
The dynasties of all ages did not do less monarchy, but in the end there was no ideal effect. The big reason is that the emperor personally governs the world and is too close to the human world, lacking distance and mystery.
You must know that mistakes will happen when you do something, but the superior gods will not make mistakes.??'s! Therefore, when the emperor personally governs the world, he lacks the basis for deification. These eight words complement each other and are indispensable!
The emperor is deified, and the cabinet governs the world. Whether something is right or wrong is the responsibility of the cabinet, and it will not affect the emperor's sense of sanctity at all.
