Chapter 289: Take all the scholars away and see how the Ming Dynasty will govern the world?
Yao Guangxiao explained in detail: “Management is the whole process of achieving the organization’s established goals through efficient planning, careful organization, excellent leadership and precise control of organizational resources under a specific internal and external environment.

Take the story of "three monks having no water to drink" for example, it vividly reveals such a truth to us.

If there is a lack of effective management and collaboration mechanism within the team.

The more people there are, the more likely it is that work efficiency will be greatly reduced, or even that the expected tasks cannot be completed smoothly."

Zhao Wei, the head of the Zhao family, frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with thought.

He seemed to suddenly remember some important detail.

So Zhao Wei slowly said: "In my opinion, in the popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the magnificent battle of 'Eighteen Princes Fighting against Dong Zhuo' failed to achieve a complete success.

The key reason is that the various princes have their own agendas.”

Yao Guangxiao, who was standing aside, had a serious look on his face, his expression as solemn as iron.

He nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Zhao Wei's point of view.

Yao Guangxiao then said in a low voice: "Since Dong Zhongshu advocated 'abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone', the once flourishing Mohist school has gradually faded and lost its former glory.

However, going back to the pre-Qin period, there was the Mohist school and the powerful Qin State.

Instead of being at loggerheads with each other, the two get along quite well and have a harmonious relationship.

Although Mozi himself held a negative attitude towards the complicated ritual and music system, he advocated the idea of ​​establishing a bureaucratic system with a wise monarch as the core and a clear hierarchy to govern the country.

This has a lot in common with the Qin political system that gradually took shape after Shang Yang's reforms.

The Qin State's system of granting titles based on military merit and distributing land.

This is extremely tempting for the Mohist organization, which already has paramilitary attributes.

In addition, there is another extremely crucial reason why the Qin State attached great importance to Mohism.

This is because the Qin State needed to rely on the Mohist School to improve its own theories of political development and thereby gain a favorable position in terms of public opinion.

For example, the concepts expounded in the Qin bamboo slips "The Way of Being an Official" are highly consistent with Mohist thought.

In addition, Mohism's prominent status as a "prominent school of thought in the world" gave it a great say in the entire Central Plains society during the Warring States Period.

Compared with Confucianism, which had very different political ideas from the Qin State, Mohism was obviously easier to be used by the Qin State.

In this way, it is appropriate to create a favorable public opinion atmosphere for Qin's external expansion."

After hearing this, Zhao Wei's face suddenly showed astonishment.

He widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Last year, the imperial court actually cancelled the qualification of the children of East Zhejiang to participate in the imperial examination.

At that time, I mistakenly thought that this was the consequence of the parade organized by scholars in Ningbo Prefecture.

However, now that I think about it, it turns out that they had already planned this!
But by doing this, doesn't the Ming Dynasty worry about damaging its own foundation?"

Yao Guangxiao sighed softly, shook his head slowly and said: "Master Zhao, don't you still see clearly the current situation in the world?

In just one short year, the ninth year of Hongwu, the imperial court created a series of major cases one after another, including the Hu Weiyong case, the empty seal case, and the Little Ming King case.

Even the prime minister system, which had been passed down for more than 1600 years, was ruthlessly abolished by the Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, they resolutely refused to admit that Zhu Xi was the ancestor of the Ming royal family.

Its intention is very clear, which is to use other schools of thought to replace the orthodox position of Confucianism. "

Zhao Wei frowned and said worriedly, "Just a few days ago, I accidentally heard a shocking news. The cruel and unjust monarch actually framed Hu Weiyong with a serious crime of 'collaborating with the Japanese'.

This is undoubtedly a false accusation!
If one day we are unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of the imperial court.

It is likely that he will find it difficult to escape and will suffer the tragic fate of having his three clans exterminated.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, the only feasible strategy at the moment is to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the Ming Dynasty and do our best to bring all those literati and scholars away from here.

I would really like to see the loss of these scholars.

What else can the Ming Dynasty rely on to govern such a vast world?"

However, what Zhao Wei did not expect was that his words happened to coincide with what Yao Guangxiao was thinking.

Long before this, Yao Guangxiao had already planned a brilliant strategy with Prince of Jin Zhu Gang.

The core of this strategy is to use cultural infiltration to stir up chaos in overseas countries.

Guide those impoverished, pedantic and conservative Confucian scholars to foreign countries.

Then, they used these people and various means to cut off the influence of the cultural heritage of overseas countries.

This is a crucial link in the entire plan.

At this moment, Zhao Wei actually volunteered to take on this important task.

Yao Guangxiao was overjoyed and decided to help him with all his strength without hesitation.

“Since Zhu Xi founded Neo-Confucianism, the Zhu family in Jiangnan has been rising like a bright star, and its influence has been rising like the sun at its peak.

Today, they have become powerful enough to compete with the famous Kong family of Yanshenggong in Shandong.

You should know that the Kong family has always kept a low profile, except for respectfully welcoming the king's teacher and carefully writing a letter of respect when a new dynasty was established.

Normally, the head of each generation of the Kong family would only appear in public when he was conferred the title of Duke Yansheng.

In comparison, the Zhu family in Jiangnan seems to be becoming more active and more active.

This is because they often travel between various schools of Confucianism and actively communicate and interact.

As a result, there are countless people studying Neo-Confucianism in the world, and all of them are eager to join the Zhu family and become one of them. "

When Zhao Wei saw this, he immediately realized that if he wanted to accomplish his goal, he had to get Zhu Linfeng's full support.

At this moment, a trace of contemplation flashed across his face, as if he had instantly understood the key.

Zhao Wei couldn't help but sigh: "Master Daoyan's words are like a revelation, which makes me suddenly enlightened!
There is no time to lose. To prevent any unexpected complications, I will go to Zhu Linfeng to discuss the plan immediately."

After saying this, he left in a hurry, leaving behind only a resolute back.

After Zhao Wei's figure disappeared outside the door, Yao Guangxiao immediately took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and wrote a few strings of numbers on it.

Then he stuffed the note into the bamboo tube and tied it to the pigeon's leg again.

Just as the carrier pigeon passed by a small house, Zhao Hu, deputy commander of the Hidden Dragon Guard, who was dressed in plain clothes, calmly took out a special whistle.

After he blew a few breaths near his mouth, the carrier pigeon that was originally flying freely in the sky landed on Zhao Hu's shoulder without hesitation.
