Chapter 1649

Bai Xiaowen thought, sister Chen Rong, you worry too much.

If you interfere in the affairs of the world of mortals, you will make the Taoist heart covered with dust, and it is difficult to make progress in cultivation?

This is true for Aboriginal monks, but not for evolutionists like Bai Xiaowen.

The song Mongolia war should be the main line of dynasty hegemony on the positioning surface of Shao. If you join it, you will have the opportunity to trigger a large number of tasks, and the task means understanding the light ball.

With the perception light ball, are you afraid that cultivation can't progress?

Let's not mention the benefits of cultivation. If Bai Xiaowen can control an empire, he can draw a steady stream of huge resources from it, and really devote the power of the whole world to help Bai Huangling develop.

The above two benefits are enough for Bai Xiaowen to join the historical situation of dynasty hegemony with his four heavenly kings.

Of course, as an honest young man with ideals and aspirations, Bai Xiaowen can't answer Chen Rong like that. Fortunately, despite the income theory, his reasons are still sufficient.

Bai Xiaowen then said, "I'm not worried about the subjugation of the great song dynasty. I don't have any extra favor for the Zhao family. It doesn't make any difference to me whether my surname is Zhao or Li or Wang."

Chen Rong frowned: "then why..."

Bai Xiaowen said: "I'm not worried about the subjugation of the great song dynasty. I'm worried about the Han people's' subjugation of the world '!"

Facing Chen Rong's puzzled eyes, Bai Xiaowen said slowly:

"The subjugation of the Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties was just the change of the imperial court's surname, which belongs to the change of the dynasty. The systems of politics, law, scientific examination and so on are all in the same line, which can be said to be the continuation of the clothes of the Han people.

"However, the destruction of the Song Dynasty by Mongolia is different. The Mongols are a nation on horseback. After they enter the Central Plains, they will promote the backward system on the grassland to the world, which will cause a devastating blow to the cultural inheritance of the Han people. There will be a fault in the Chinese civilization. This is' the destruction of the world '."

What Bai Xiaowen said is not nonsense, but justified.

In the history of the earth, Chinese civilization has always been ahead of the West. Why was it later surpassed and had a humiliating history of modern times?

Since Mongolia (Yuan Dynasty), Chinese civilization has been reversing.

The first is the great decline of the ruler's thought.

Fang Tingshi, the imperial historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, once warned song Gaozong that "the world is the world of China, the world of ancestors, the world of officials, surnames and the three armed forces, and not the world of his majesty". In other words, officials of the Song Dynasty believed that the emperor only managed the world instead of the people in the world, and he must always bow and reflect on himself in order to be a good emperor.

The rulers from the Mongolian grassland brought the concept of grassland to the Central Plains, regarded the wealth such as population and land as their own private property, and even began to implement the backward enfeoffment system! This was reflected even in the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, the rigid and insurmountable class division. The Yuan Dynasty abolished the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty and divided the people into military households, craftsman households, salt households, Confucian households, etc. their identities were inherited from generation to generation and could not be changed for life. This step of reversing history also affected the Ming Dynasty.

There is also the degradation of property rights: officials in the Yuan Dynasty can "native place" people's wealth and property (including family members) at will, while the native place system was strictly limited and rarely used in the Song Dynasty.

And the punishment is harsh again: the corporal punishment abolished from the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty has revived.

The judicial system has been wantonly destroyed: Dali temple has been cancelled, the law has been cancelled, the criminal law examination has been cancelled, and even the excellent systems such as "Ju Chen branch" (separation of trial and sentence) and "abnormal transfer investigation" (prisoners must be retried if they overturn their confessions) have been abandoned

What is the result of this series of reversing?

The Chinese Empire, which had sprouted capitalism economically and had some "Renaissance" trend in culture, fell into a deep sleep.

One hundred years later, the West began the Renaissance, while the Chinese civilization fell into a dark retrogression for hundreds of years because of the arrival of barbaric rulers.

Scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties can only imagine the noble character of the former scholar bureaucrats from Tang and Song poems.

When Mongolia captured Changsha, all the hundreds of scholars in Yuelu Academy died in a heroic battle; when the country was destroyed by the Yanshan Mountain in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Minister first drove his wife into the sea with a sword, and then jumped into the sea to commit suicide with the little emperor on his back. The court and subjects of the great song dynasty jumped into the sea one after another to die for their country, "more than 100000 floating corpses came from the sea".

When Chongzhen hanged himself in the Ming Dynasty, there was only one eunuch with him.

The reason is that after the Yuan Dynasty, the ruling class was cruel (the Ming Dynasty was also cruel under the influence of barbarians), ignored the value of life and clamped down on thought, so that in the face of foreign aggression, most Han people were insensitive and removed their spiritual backbone.

Bai Xiaowen can't say too much to Chen Rong. After all, there is no way to say about the historical development process after the Yuan Dynasty.

Chen Rong is also difficult to understand. She doesn't have Bai Xiaowen's broad vision.

Bai Xiaowen said, "headmaster Chen, you came from a weaving family in the south of the Yangtze River and your cloth is sold all over the world, right?"

Chen Rong nodded: "it all depends on the development of four generations of Chen's grandparents."

Bai Xiaowen said: "if one day, the prefect takes a fancy to the Chen family's property and arranges a crime casually, he can judge that all the Chen family's money is not official, men are slaves, and women enter the Teaching Workshop... Will the Chen family still have such motivation to actively develop and expand their family business?"

Chen Rong said in a daze, "it's... it's impossible. A prefect can't cover up such a big event. Even if he is tried, he can't make a judgment. If the Chen family wants to overturn the case, there is Dali temple. Unless the prefect is in collusion with Dali temple, will local officials and capital officials collude like this?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "You think too much. If Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty, a group of barbarians from the grassland ruled the Central Plains. Not to mention a prefect, a county magistrate can make people break their homes and destroy their families. To say the least, the Mongols are cruel and easy to kill, and most like slaughtering cities. It's hard to say whether the Chen family can live until the end of the war. Maybe the Mongols don't allow the Han people to continue farming and hand weaving, and want to turn all the farmland in the central plains into pastures 。”

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen concluded: "changing the surname of Yi means the subjugation of the country. There is plenty of benevolence and righteousness, but as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which means the death of the world." (Gu Yanwu's rizhilu)

Bai Xiaowen started with Chen Rong's family and finally made Chen Rong realize the difference between the so-called "subjugation of the country" and "subjugation of the world". She also seemed to understand why Bai Xiaowen wanted to join the world of mortals and reverse the general trend of the world.

For Bai Xiaowen, even if Shao's positioning surface is not an orthodox history, it cannot be equivalent to the earth. Changing the historical process of Mongolia's extinction of the Song Dynasty here has no significance for the earth's Chinese history that has taken place, and it can't change anything.

But for Shao positioning surface, for Bai Xiaowen, it is meaningful.
