Chapter 305: Yuelu Mountain
In fact, if Nanyang Company continues to follow this path, it is a monopoly company, and no one can compete with it, and any businessman in China who tries to challenge Nanyang Company's position will suffer a miserable defeat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is also a move that there is no way to do, in fact, Wang Xinyu knows very well in his heart that monopoly is not necessarily a good thing. In the current situation, monopoly can concentrate its efforts on doing great things and spend money where it needs to be spent, and monopoly is also a good way to increase its military strength in the early stage. However, in the long run, monopoly will become an obstacle to economic development and the development of military strength.
Take Wang Xinyu's previous life as an example, at the beginning, the United States Pratt & Whitney Company monopolized the production of fighter engines in the United States. As a result, the engine of the third-generation aircraft was miserable from the beginning, and the turbine blades would break when the aircraft was overloaded with high maneuverability. For this question, the people of the US Air Force went to question Pratt & Whitney, but received an arrogant reply from the company. Later, the U.S. Air Force couldn't stand it anymore and approached General Motors. With the competition of GM engines, some problems of Pratt & Whitney engines were solved in a very short time.
Looking at the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, why is the quality of the firearms produced in the Ming Dynasty very unreliable and easy to explode? It is because the Ministry of Industry has a monopoly on the production of firearms, and the status of artisans is low, and there is no enthusiasm for production.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, although the Westernization movement arose, it was an official and businessman, and it was also a monopoly industry, and it is needless to say that everyone knows what the result was.
In the end, Wang Xinyu still has to implement a number of competitions, and he plans to encourage some wealthy businessmen to develop new products by themselves when the time is ripe; In addition, the Nanyang Company's steel and weapons manufacturing will also be split, and the Nanyang Company will be transformed into the Nanyang Financial Group Company, which will invest exclusively in and jointly establish two or more steel, shipbuilding, and weapons factories with businessmen to compete in manufacturing. Only competition can make manufacturers feel the pressure and have the motivation for development.
But that's all for later, and the first thing to consider at present is to take the entire Huguang.
On the eve of the Battle of Dongting Lake, a debate contest was first held on Yuelu Mountain on the other side of Changsha City. The world's scholars are boiling, and the Huayi distinction that has been passed on for half a year has finally kicked off.
Out of the west gate of Changsha City, the Xiangjiang River flows from south to north. In the middle of the river is a small island called Orange Island, after the Xiangjiang River, the opposite bank is Yuelu Mountain. Yuelu Academy, which is as famous as Shigu Academy, is on this Yuelu Mountain.
Eighteen years ago, the academy was destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong, and although it has been restored one after another, it has not been restored to its original appearance. After the Ming army captured Changsha, it renovated the academy on a large scale and completely restored its original appearance.
The ships carrying the scholars from the north passed through the incense burner island, and the ships were stopped by the Ming army sailors when they were about to enter the Ming army cordon.
"Stop the ship and check!" Sun Zaifeng and Yu Chenglong's ships were stopped, and a large group of Ming troops boarded the ships to inspect them.
That's right, it's Yu Jackie Chan, but it's not the one who has been exiled overseas by Wang Xinyu who is bigger than Jackie Chan, but smaller than Jackie Chan. This is less than Jackie Chan, his father Yu Deshui was originally a Dahahafan of the Han Army Banner, but he was dismissed because of a mistake, and the Yu family became a slave of the banner people, and less than Jackie Chan became a shepherd boy, and then went to private school, and later went to Beijing to study.
Although he is less than Jackie Chan and does not have the same formal fame as Jackie Chan, how can he say that he is a scholar from the banner people, and he has a natural advantage compared with the scholars of the Han people.
The qualification of the Guozijian who is smaller than Jackie Chan belongs to the germination, that is, the Enmeng qualification obtained by his father who used to be a banner official, and it is the emperor's grace of the first emperor Shunzhiye, so he has today, so he must come to participate in this Huayi debate.
As for Sun Zaifeng, he is also a Jiangnan scholar and was originally from Huzhou. The Ming army captured Huzhou, because someone in his family was an official in the Qing court, so he fled to Jiangning, and later considered Xiucai. In the eyes of the righteous Sun Zaifeng, it is simply the shameless behavior of thieves and a group of guys who do not obey the king.
The ship stopped, and the Ming soldiers boarded the ship to check. After getting on the boat, the Ming soldiers and soldiers would not look down on the boatmen who had shaved their money rattail pigtails and wore short clothes, after all, those people were ordinary people.
Although the boatmen shaved their hair, the short beats on their bodies were still Han Chinese-style clothes. The process of shaving hair and changing clothes, first of all, shaving hair and braiding, as for the clothes on the body, the gentry and scholars must be changed immediately, and the Qing court did not allow Han clothes with wide robes and large sleeves. But the peasants who worked in the countryside, the boatmen who worked as coolies, etc., were already dressed in tattered shorts, and they themselves could not afford to change new clothes, and the court could not pay for them to change new clothes.
The tattered short fight looks not much different from the tattered short coat, if you don't look carefully, the court doesn't bother to care about those little people who have no influence, just shave your head and tie up your braids.
But the scholars and scholars in the cabin were disgustingly dressed, with pigtails on their heads, straight-leg gowns, and fans in their hands. In fact, some scholars are quite handsome, but it's a pity that the money rattail makes their image lower by several grades.
"Ordered to check! In order to prevent the pseudo-dynasty from being mixed in! The Ming soldiers walked up to the soldiers.
Most of the soldiers were still very cooperative, and when the Ming soldiers asked them anything, they answered truthfully, and also showed a waist card or a certificate of fame. When the Ming soldiers asked them to open their luggage, these people cooperated.
But there were also a few who refused to cooperate, refusing to allow the Ming army to insist on their luggage.
"Open the box and check!" The Ming sergeant shouted at a lewd old man with a braided beard and a white beard.
The old man angrily shot back: "Wait for the vulgar martial artist! Dare to shout loudly at the world's soldiers! What is this system? It's just a sweep! ”
The Ming sergeant was furious, and he wanted to knock the old man to the ground with a scabbard, but he still held back, after all, the prince said that he could not beat the soldier. So he turned his head and shouted, "Someone! Open the box! ”
When two soldiers came up, they were about to forcibly open the box.
The obscene old man shouted and wanted to stop the Ming army, but he was twisted by the arms of the two Ming soldiers and couldn't move, so he could only watch the Ming soldiers open his box and check it.
"Hey, these vulgar martial artists are so humiliating to scholars." Less than Jackie Chan shook his head.
Sun Zaifeng sighed and whispered in Jackie Chan's ear: "They were originally a group of rebel thieves and pirates who did not obey the king, how could they be kind to my world's scholars?" I heard that in the area of the fall of Huguang, the soldiers who rebelled against them were either killed or exiled; The scholars who stayed here were also miserable! Pseudo-Ming made a group of nobles to seize land, lowered the rent with their own financial resources, and increased taxes, how can people live? ”
Less than Jackie Chan sighed: "This is simply a scourge to the people, in the long run, the world will die!" ”
When the Ming soldiers heard their conversation, they sneered and said, "I, the Han people, have died in the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" What the prince has to do today is just to restore the Han world! ”
"Huh? What are these things? A Ming soldier opened a painting, only half opened, and the face of the little soldier, who was only sixteen years old, turned red, because the painting was a woman without a piece of cloth on her body, the painting was vivid, her figure was exquisite, and the waves on her chest looked very attractive. But if this painting is just like that, it would be fine, but the problem is that there is a man standing behind this woman! Two more hands reached out to the front and held the waves tightly.
There are also many paintings that have also been searched, all of which are of this type.
When a literate Ming army officer came up, he also found that many of the paper scrolls with words written in the box were dirty and crooked poems.
"So this is the so-called Shizi!" The Ming officer pointed to the calligraphy and painting and sneered.
The obscene old man couldn't hold it on his face, and the old man blushed and explained: "Why can't a scholar write and draw? Where do you and other vulgar warriors understand the meaning of such calligraphy and painting? ”
When the Ming army inspected the goods, Jackie Chan also saw these filthy calligraphy and paintings, although he looked down on this old man in his heart, but he was so old, he could still come to participate in the debate and refute the pseudo-Ming traitor, such an old show should be admired, right, how can you accuse him?
The ship that had been inspected by the Ming army moved again, the boatmen rowed their oars, and the boat continued to sail south against the current. After walking for more than an hour, the boat stopped on the other side of Changsha City.
On the dock, there were a group of Ming soldiers who were draped in clothes and holding sharp blades, looking terrifying. But less than Jackie Chan and Sun Zaifeng were not afraid, but held their heads high and walked towards Yuelu Mountain.
"I'm a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, with a heroic and righteous heart, and I can reach thousands of sword soldiers!"
Walking into the mountain gate, I walked into the gate of Yuelu Academy, but I saw a group of scholars tied up in the courtyard, which were all a group of scholars with money rat tails, and all of them were tied together with braids.
Someone on the side said: "Wasn't the first one who was tied up Zeng Chaofan?" ”
"Mr. Zeng! That's the Great Confucian of Hunan! Unexpectedly, the thief actually treated Mr. Zeng like this! A scholar said.
Someone said with great admiration: "Mr. Zeng is not afraid of *** scattering all his family wealth, just to resist thieves!" True righteous people! He is a model for my sons of the world! ”
Seeing that Zeng Chaofan, the model of the world's scholars, was so humiliated by the Ming army, he was less than Jackie Chan was extremely angry, stepped forward, and loudly rebuked the Ming army guarding these scholars: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!" You and others abuse scholars like this, this is not only disobedient to the king, but also a bad etiquette! ”
A man who looked like a Ming army officer reached out and patted the knife on his waist: "Poor and sour talent!" If it hadn't been for the prince's dissuasion, Lao Tzu would have cut down all these shameless people who forgot their ancestors! Do you want to be with them too? ”
Jackie Chan raised his head with a death-defying expression on his face: "Since Yu is here today, he won't be afraid!" If Yu is martyred here today, it will go down in history! But you, on the other hand, will bear the infamy of harming the world's soldiers and destroying etiquette and morality! If you want to kill or chop, you are not afraid! ”
At this moment, a big Confucian wearing a white Hanfu Confucian shirt and a square scarf on his head walked up to Jackie Chan, and he snorted coldly for a long time: "Hmph! The Manchu Qing Dynasty Yidi, ruined my Huaxia clothes, slaughtered Jiangnan scholars, and dared to occupy my Huaxia Taoism? Waiting for Yi Di Yi, worshiping the king of Yi Di, serving the country of Yi Di, and daring to speak out against Confucius and Mengdao? ”
"You are a scholar, you don't want to serve the country, you are a thief! Hum! Yu Chenglong replied confidently, and arched his hand to the north as he spoke, "Now the emperor is a saint, treat the world's scholars well!" How can you allow villains to slander? The cruelty to Jiangnan Shizi was done by Zhu Guozhi! The emperor Shengming, the empress dowager Shengming, Zhu Guozhi has been dismissed! ”
Someone recognized the great Confucian: "Haining Great Confucian Fan Xiang!" Known as Mr. Mo'an! It's a pity that he became a thief! ”
Later, there were Fang Yizhi, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Shunshui, Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Mao Bijiang, Wu Weiye, Liu Jingting, Qi Bansun and other famous Confucians in the world walked in one after another.
Only Jackie Chan was still stiff-mouthed, muttering in his mouth: "Hmph! It's like singing! ”
Seeing the Confucian scholars who came to debate enter the hall, the scholars from the north had no choice but to follow in, because they knew that the debate was about to begin.
Over there, the Ming sergeant untied Zeng Chaofan and the others, and untied the braids on their heads. A Ming army officer snorted coldly: "Go in!" When the debate is over, get out of here and go north! You are not welcome here! ”
Less than Jackie Chan was behind a group of scholars, and when he saw Zeng Chaofan being untied, he hurriedly stepped forward and supported Zeng Chaofan: "Mr. Zeng is jealous and hateful, and he breaks his family for the country, which is really admirable to the younger generations!" ”
Sun Zaifeng also supported Zeng Chaofan from the other side: "Mr. Zeng is a true righteous man!" Being abused by thieves really makes the world's soldiers angry! ”
In front of him, a scholar wearing an old straight-leg gown with a rattail and a gray pigtail on his head said in a panic: "There are so many Confucians here! How can we argue this time? ”
Less than Jackie Chan sneered: "Confucian? They turned their backs on the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they did not want to serve the country when they were full of money, but instead followed thieves and aided in abuse! Are they still Confucians? In a certain eye, they are just a bunch of jumping clowns! ”
Sun Zaifeng also looked up to the sky and laughed: "The sun and the moon are bright and bright, and the righteousness is full of energy!" Such thieves and traitors, what is there to fear! This debate is a battlefield for my world's soldiers! ”
"Yes, yes!" The old boy, who may not have been able to pass the exam for many years, also burst confidently and said, "This is our battlefield!" Behind us are the kings of the Judah court! I will win this battle! ”
The Confucian students from the north and those Confucian students who were let go by the Ming army walked into the lobby, and Jackie Chan raised his head and was stunned: I saw a statue of Confucius standing in the middle of the hall! The statue of Confucius is dressed in a square scarf, with a fluttering robe, and a group of Confucians standing on both sides are also dressed in the same way, with clothes and hair and the statue of Confucius as one. In this comparison, the thousands of soldiers dressed in Yifa clothes from the north here suddenly looked despicable. (To be continued.) )
