Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Everyone filed in.

Soon they boarded a carriage within the imperial city and headed to the Mingtang.

Everyone is very excited today.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty,

The first grand lecture was held in the Mingtang Hall.

Given Li Qingzhao's rank,

They are not eligible to participate.

However, she held the title of Imperial Attendant.

"赐绯" means not having enough scarlet robes to wear.

But he was granted the privilege of wearing a scarlet robe.

Upon arriving at the Mingtang, which was personally designed and supervised by Emperor Huizong of Song,

Li Qingzhao shamelessly touched the middle position.

There are too many people attending the conference today.

She was afraid that if she sat too far back, she wouldn't be able to hear clearly.

Zhang Gen sat at the very front.

Close your eyes and relax, wandering freely in the heavens.

He thought his concession...

This can bring the matter to a close.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's reign has only just begun.

Zhang Gen also tried to communicate with Zhao Yuan about Deyun.

However, several of his memorials to the throne went unanswered.

Then he was summoned by Zhao Yuan.

After a series of questions and answers between the ruler and his ministers,

It's obvious that they can't reach an agreement.

A scripture banquet is being held today.

It was obvious that Zhao Yuan was paving the way for the "Ming Dynasty Official School".

The official schools during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song were "new schools".

After years of textbook training,

The new learning style is definitely the mainstream now.

However, due to the incompetent ruler and treacherous officials' reckless and chaotic actions...

A large number of non-mainstream theories opposing Wang Anshi emerged.

Even students of the Imperial Academy enjoyed secretly reading forbidden books.

Zhao Yuan favored the Luoyang School of thought.

But they also wanted to conform to the new school.

However, the integration is not yet complete.

Moreover, within the Luoyang Academy...

Different schools of thought also began to emerge.

My son is away, and my thoughts are in turmoil.

Zhao Yuan decided to sort things out.

Because he realized it,

Even the cabinet members each have their own area of ​​expertise.

Zhang Gen: He studies both Luoyang School and modern schools of thought.

Zhai Ruwen: A practitioner of both Luoyang and Suzhou schools of thought.

Li Bangyan: New Learning.

The Way of the Master: Guanxue (a school of thought in ancient China).

Although Guan Xue has integrated into Luo Xue

However, there are also differences in their specific academic ideas.

Huang Shang: New Learning.

Don't be fooled by Huang Shang's harmless appearance.

His network of in-laws and friends,

It includes the descendants of Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun, Lü Huiqing, and Wang Anshi.

Xiao Chu: A dual practitioner of Luoyang School and modern learning.

Liu Jian: New Learning.

The clues can be seen from their school of thought.

The four cabinet members who voted in favor

Three of them were new disciples.

Another person is a student who integrates Luoyang studies with new learning.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and bowed to greet them.

There are several hundred people attending the lecture today.

"Rise, all of you, and be offered a seat," Zhao Yuan said.

The band was also there, playing music related to the religious ceremonies.

The master of rites announced the commencement of the lecture.

Zhao Yuan said, "I am not familiar with the various schools of thought."

"Today, all of you may speak freely."

"There's no need to distinguish between right and wrong,"

"Simply explain your views to me."

"Xiao Qing, please give a summary."

Xiao Chu immediately stood up and said loudly:

"Modern schools of thought are nothing more than the Luoyang School, the New School, and the Suzhou School."

"Luo Xue is skilled in the principles of human nature,"

"The number of new senior students,"

"Su Xuechang is good at economics,"

Do you all agree?

Some people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Someone frowned.

Numbers, or etiquette, or system.

That was indeed something Wang Anshi excelled at.

The economy, by its very nature, is about managing the world and benefiting the people.

But the literal meaning here...

It is already very close to the "economy" of later generations.

The three Su brothers and their disciples.

Could he be an economist?

In fact, the mature form of Su Xue

His reform ideas were more radical than Wang Anshi's.

To use an inappropriate analogy,

Wang Anshi's New Laws

It is a combination of state capitalism and small-scale peasant economy.

The state leads industry, agriculture, and commerce.

And it suppresses mergers and acquisitions.

It both curbs land annexation,

It also curbs business mergers.

The three Su brothers and their disciples.

However, they advocate for a free market economy.

It advocates that industry, agriculture, and commerce should each benefit accordingly.

The imperial court shouldn't interfere too much.

They represent the emerging middle class, artisans, and merchants.

A large government, a small government

It would be strange if they didn't fight.

Chapter 1880 The Appearance of the Moon

Xiao Chu, this old fellow from Luoyang Academy,

He has studied all three major schools of thought.

His thoughts were the same as Zhao Yuan's:

Why can't the three factions unite?

"Using the Luoyang School to illuminate the principles of human nature,"

"Use new learning to distinguish names and numbers."

"Using Suzhou-style learning to boost the economy,"

"The teachings of Confucius and Mencius are sufficient."

"Why should the world not prosper?"

Hu Anguo couldn't help but complain:

"Having all three, one cannot distinguish between the essential and the trivial, nor can one discern the true from the false."

"When annotating and explaining scriptures,"

Which should we choose, and which should we let go of?

That's the truth; the integration of the three factions will inevitably involve choices.

Where there are trade-offs...

And this is precisely where the three schools of thought differ so greatly.

Neither of them would give in!

Zhao Yuan said, "Since we must distinguish between the essential and the trivial, and make clear choices,"

"Then we should start from the root of the matter."
