Chapter 298: Transformation and Guarantee
"It seems that it is not advisable to let Confucian protégés go unchecked." Chen Xin muttered to himself, thinking about how to deal with this group of low- and middle-level officials in the kingdom.
First of all, you can't just beat him to death with a stick, you know, Confucianism has penetrated China for thousands of years.
From the "people-oriented" proposed during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, to the "family-oriented" formed during the Song Dynasty, and then to the "state-oriented" thinking that initially sprouted after Zhu Chongba drove out the Tatars and established the Daming Dynasty, Confucian morality and ethics have influenced the three views of every Chinese.
Once this thought, which is integrated into the blood and bones of the Chinese, is completely smashed, I am afraid that there will be a big mess.
Moreover, during the initial period of Chen Xin's army, several Confucian scholars and officials who were martyred also greatly affected Chen Xin.
Those who have not experienced that kind of generous and righteous scene cannot imagine the shock he caused to Chen Xin, and those who have not experienced the strong emotions of the era of ideological confusion in later generations cannot understand the obsession in Chen Xin at this time.
He really hopes that the great Chinese nation will forever inherit the Chinese spirit and become an ideological giant.
Therefore, Confucianism needs to be reformed, not erased.
However, how can an independent academic thought be so easy to reform, after all, the human heart is the most complex.
If we want to reform an idea, we need to cut it off, cut off the backward and conservative parts, and let this school of thought, which affects the whole of Asia, continue to be used by us.
After China's economy took off in later generations, it seemed that the things proposed by China in terms of the dialectical relationship between the family and the state could help a little.
However, Chen Xin is not sure, it takes time to precipitate before he can see it.
Shaking his head, Chen Xin put this matter down first, although the ideological problem is serious, he is not in a hurry.
At this moment, his attention needs to be on Li Tianwei's body.
"Tianwei, what are you afraid of when you came here in such a hurry? Could it be that this king will let that group of people attack at will, and then can't bear the pressure and abolish the female official selection system? ”
Li Tianwei was a little dazed, at this point, she was really not sure what she was afraid of.
When she heard several sisters talk about it, she was already panicking, and then, when one of the sisters sent her the copy of the cantata, she was completely gone.
Thinking about it, she felt that the sky was about to fall, and in desperation, she had no choice but to go against her principles, come to the palace, find Anya, Chen Xin's most trusted person, and ask her to help come up with ideas and analyze the situation.
However, when Chen Xin asked what she was afraid of, she was stunned all of a sudden.
Li Tianwei muttered involuntarily, "yes, what am I afraid of?" Your Majesty is not a person who can be encouraged by a group of scholars.
Back then, several old brothers colluded with the remaining officials of the old dynasty to seize power together, so many people, almost accounting for seventy or eighty percent of the number of the court, the king did not say that he would be cleaned, and he was not soft at all.
Up to now, the Xuanwu Prison, which is specially used to detain high-ranking officials and political prisoners, still holds dozens of high-ranking officials and their families. ”
Li Tianwei was confused, but Chen Xin was not confused, he understood what the state of a group of women who had not been in office for a short time in a patriarchal society where women were not allowed to show their heads. He understood the pressure on Li Tianwei and her sisters.
"Don't worry, the emancipation of women is an established national policy set by this king, and no one will be allowed to tamper with it.
Now that the kingdom is in an era of great development, construction is going on everywhere, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and it is a crime to keep half of the labor force at home in such a tense period.
Of course, this king knows that the outdated ideas of the people are not so easy to reverse, so you female officials are the signboard of this king's [Qianjin buys Magu], and whoever wants to break the king's signboard, this king will break his job. ”
Hearing Chen Xin's assurance, Li Tianwei completely let go of her heart, and the pressure she had suffered for the past few days burst out at once, her eyes moistened, and she whimpered.
Anya smiled apologetically at Chen Xin, then stepped forward, quietly hugged Li Tianwei's waist, and gently patted the other party's back.
Chen Xin quietly exited Anya's room and came to the corridor, where he instructed the servants to prepare dinner, and at the same time brought people back to the hostess's room and instructed the maids to clean up.
"From today onwards, this place is going to be inhabited, and this house will be made a little more popular."
"These dust covers are too much of a nuisance, put them away."
"Gauze tents, bed sheets, quilt covers, pillows, etc., are all replaced with Anya's favorite colors and styles."
"The pillow has also been changed, Anya is used to tea, this king likes wheat kernels, and the men and women are put on the right."
Also, although this king is used to sleeping on a hardwood bed to hone his will, what Anya needs as a girl is comfort. Therefore, this mattress should be made a little thicker and softer. But don't be so thick as to influence your actions, and take care of that for yourselves. ”
"Incense, this king never uses it, but Anya seems to have this thing in the house, go back and ask Anya, what kind of thing she likes, and it will be prepared here."
"There is also a bathroom, the bathroom in this room has not been used for a long time, and it needs to be overhauled again to make sure it is in good condition."
"Clean up all the insect and moth-proof things in the cloakroom, don't leave anything smelly, and then, when it's time for dinner, move Anya's outfit and set it up."
"Also, Anya is the hostess, and she needs to be paired with a personal maid, which depends on Anya's meaning, if she doesn't have a good candidate, go back and find an opportunity, let the housekeeper do an assessment, and pick someone out.
No, girls have more things to do and are more messy, so arrange two full-time maids, and use the palace public servants for the rest. ”
"Oh, by the way, bring over a few sets of my king's usual dressing gowns and casual clothes, and put them in the cloakroom here for easy access."
Chen Xin carefully checked left and right, making sure not to miss anything, if he waited until Anya moved in, he didn't find out the problem, it would be more troublesome.
After feeling that there was really no shortcoming, Chen Xin was about to go out, but through the light outside the window, he found that the carpet was a little wrong.
The first few times I came in, it was at night, under the dim light, but I don't think, at this time, under the natural light, I found that the carpet seems to be a little old?
"This carpet ······" Speaking of this, Chen Xin paused slightly.
This carpet seems to have been personally selected by him, and it seems that it took hundreds of people nearly half a year to compile it, but it is really valuable.
Chen Xin found from the reports from various places that a trend of extravagance has gradually emerged in the kingdom, and Chen Xin believes that extravagance is not bad, if the living conditions are reached, luxury is also the life of other people's own families, and he is unwilling to care.
But now, when is it? At the beginning of the kingdom, a large number of refugees poured into the kingdom every year, a large number of factories and infrastructure needed to be built, and there were wars in several directions, and even the next few decades could not stop.
At such a critical moment, every penny should be spent, and even if the trend of extravagance is not stopped, it will not help to fuel it.
So, when the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by Chen Xin.
Forget it, let's make up for it for the time being, the color is a little duller, and it can be remedied by other methods, and it doesn't have to be replaced directly, with this money, it is enough to supply dozens or hundreds of large-caliber shells to the front line, enough to destroy several enemy fortresses.
