Chapter 470: Heaven and Earth Are a Basket of Landscapes
***
God helped, a heavy rain, the sky and the earth were vast, cold as ice, so that the Dutch neglected to take precautions, Zheng Zhibao unexpectedly successfully took Taiwan, and also seized a lot of advanced weapons of the Dutch, the news soon spread back to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's attitude began to change again.
However, he also knew that Taiwan's population was too small and the conditions were too poor, so he wanted to delay it a little longer in order to send more people and materials to Taiwan.
Gan Nan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, also inquired about the news of Zheng Jun's seizure of Taiwan, and also guessed a rough idea of Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, he went to ask to see Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong casually found an excuse not to meet him.
Gannan was not noisy or noisy, packed his things, and went home.
Zheng Xie learned that Gan Nan was suddenly leaving Fuzhou, so he hurriedly chased out of the city, stopped Gan Nan and said, "Why did Gan Shaoqing suddenly leave, don't we still have a lot to discuss?" ”
Gannan looked at the lush banyan trees on the side of the road and sighed: "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon to the ditch." The Zheng family has been delaying again and again, since there is no sincerity, then we don't have to talk about it anymore, say goodbye! ”
"Gan Shaoqing, please stay, you misunderstood. Did Gan Shaoqing listen to some rumors, it's really strange here, why did Gan Shaoqing suddenly say that my Zheng family is not sincere? ”
"Whether the official has misunderstood, you know it." Gan Nan smiled indifferently and asked, "Brother Zheng has watched "Journey to the West"?" ”
"I've seen it, Gan Shaoqing asked what is this for?"
"The deliberate Brother Zheng in "Journey to the West" must be very familiar, Sun Monkey jumped for a long time, thinking that he had run to the edge of the sky, but as everyone knows, he exhausted his strength, and he is still in the palm of the Buddha."
Gan Nan showed a kind smile, and then said earnestly, "When parting, this official might as well say a few words to Brother Zheng, the Taiwan Strait is really nothing." In the eyes of my king, the whole of Nanyang is but a bathtub;
One day, the Westerners will be amazed to find that our Great Qin's fleet has sailed to their doorstep, and the sails have blocked their sunlight, and then use their logic to demonstrate to them what is an axiom is only within the range of a cannon
Hehe, Brother Zheng, we might as well come back in a few years and look at today, and you may find out then. What some people are doing today is ridiculous. Well, farewell! ”
Zheng Xie looked at Gan Nan in a daze, dumbfounded
Zheng Xie can be sure that Gannan's words are by no means untargeted, Taiwan, it seems that Gannan has already known that the Zheng family has captured Taiwan.
At the same time, it can also be determined that Qin Mu is a person who cares about the water division very much, and he just laid down the lake, so he couldn't wait to build a water division in Dongting Lake.
and so on to lay Jiangnan. The Longjiang Shipyard was immediately rebuilt.
Qin Mu doesn't seem to be enough, and Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Ningbo and other places have just been defeated, and with the support of the government, a shipbuilding boom has risen. Large shipyards have sprung up one after another.
Throughout the history of thousands of years, there has never been a dynasty that has attached so much importance to shipbuilding, and the country has not yet been unified. Just in the big shipbuilding only.
Combined with what Gan Nan said, and then look at these big moves of the Qin State, Qin Mu's ocean awareness. It is a hundred times stronger than those of them who grew up on the beach and fought in the wind and waves, and a sense of powerlessness permeated Zheng Jie's heart
***
The pace of the New Year is getting closer and closer, and there are many operas and bustles in Jinling, but most of them are celebrations organized by the people, and there are relatively few officially organized celebrations.
King Qin said that the world is not completely unified, and the people's livelihood is still in urgent need of improvement, and it is not yet time to celebrate. However, the king of Qin also said that he did not object to the spontaneous celebration of the people, and the people wanted to express their inner joy, and they could do what they could.
As a result, such a phenomenon appeared in Jinling City, the officials were very calm, and the people were very lively.
Because a song "Liuyang River" is widely sung among the people, coupled with the use of fireworks by the King of Qin, the deeds of the surprise attack on Changsha are talked about, the fireworks produced in Liuyang County are sold all over Daqin, and gradually have the reputation of the hometown of fireworks.
After Liuyang fireworks became famous, fireworks produced in other places also began to be counterfeited as Liuyang fireworks to attract customers. This kind of thing has always been common, and everyone didn't care about it at first.
Who knew that when the King of Qin heard about it, he strongly condemned it.
King Qin said, you can imitate, you can learn, but you can't counterfeit other people's brands, this is an extremely despicable behavior, it is shameful, and called on the people to resolutely resist this kind of counterfeit goods.
Is this still worth it? The lord of a dignified country actually issued such a strong condemnation in order to light fake fireworks, many people did not understand why King Qin reacted so violently, and even many officials thought that King Qin was full of food and had nothing to do, making a big fuss.
For this reason, the King of Qin refused to give up, of course, he did not immediately order the seizure of those counterfeit fireworks, but instructed Han Zanzhou to publish a newspaper called "Daqin Times";
Newspapers are not a new thing, it is said that there were many tabloids in the Song Dynasty, but the newspaper appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the eunuchs of the inner palace, this is definitely the first.
King Qin also personally wrote articles in the newspaper, downplaying "intellectual property", "brand awareness", "innovative spirit" and so on. In short, many of the ideas in this article are refreshing and make people realize the harm of fakes to the spirit of innovation.
King Qin also advocated that the people actively discuss this issue, and also asked the people to explore the feasibility of establishing various laws such as the "Patent Law" and the "Intellectual Property Law".
If you have any opinions, you can write them into words and submit them to the "Daqin Times", and if the manuscript is adopted, there will be quite a generous manuscript fee.
Although Qin Mu did not explicitly state that the official would introduce such a law, the shock caused by his article was unprecedented.
At least those who read it see as a new avenue for speaking to the supreme leader.
In addition, the spirit of Qin Mu's article also aroused deep thinking among the social elites;
The end of the Ming Dynasty was an era when capitalism had already sprouted, and the emergence of Wang Fuzhi's materialist remarks and Huang Zongxi's theory of restricting monarchy was actually deeply related to the germination of capitalism.
Among the people, the shortcomings of the Song and Ming Dynasty Science Institute exposed the stifling of human nature and the vigorous civic culture also formed a fierce conflict, and gradually lost the foundation of the people.
People began to raise more and more doubts about Zhu Cheng's science, first Wang Yangming's idea of "the unity of knowledge and action" appeared, and then the great thinkers Li Zhen, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi saw the harm of Song and Ming science, and these people's thoughts gradually tended to be rational and more realistic.
This is an era of ideological change, and many people have even begun to look to the West.
A group of intellectuals represented by Xu Guangqi are no longer limited to Confucian doctrines, and no longer regard themselves as the first in the world, but actively study Western knowledge and translate Western commentaries. Ordinary intellectuals also did not denounce these things as heresy.
In short, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was in the embryonic stage of capitalism, a new wave of ideas was emerging.
What Qin Mu has to do is to guide this wave of thought forward, not to wipe it out with the prison of words like the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
For example, a few days ago, he proposed to open his eyes to the world, which aroused strong resonance among the people. As soon as the article appeared in the newspaper, it also caused a very big response.
Qin Mu's thought does not seem to have a complete system, but the entry point he chooses can often attract universal attention and resonance, and intellectuals start to think, discuss, and improve from this entry point.
This is exactly what Qin Mu hopes to achieve, he is not a big thinker, and he does not have much time to form his own set of ideological systems.
He can only choose some appropriate moments, starting from some key points, to open a small window of thought for the vast number of intellectuals, to guide them to think, to improve, and then to build a whole new set of ideological systems that can push the whole society forward.
In addition to carrying his own sword into battle and guiding him, he also ordered the establishment of the Hongwen Museum, selected some people from the new science and technology scholars, and together with Tang Ruowang, began to systematically translate Western commentaries.
Cultural ideas must be contrasting in order to collide with new sparks.
Qin Mu did not advocate the full acceptance of Western ideas. However, it is necessary for the Chinese people to understand it, learn from its strengths, and avoid self-isolation and arrogance.
Now everyone can see that, on the one hand, Qin Mu is not relaxed militarily; On the other hand, it is committed to the transformation of thinking. The two are like Qin Mu's two fists, taking turns to attack.
