For this reason, Huaxia specially established Yanggu Trading Company.
As the overlord sailing on the Great Eastern Sea for centuries, Yanggu Trading Company is one of the largest trading companies in the world today.
As a top scientist in China, Xu Guangqi has served as a consultant to Yanggu Trading Company for 20 years.
This also made him develop the habit of smoking like life.
The two of them sat in the room and puffed up, both lost in thought.
Xu Guangqi sighed, and said: "Since our defeat in the Battle of Chariots 20 years ago, Westerners have quietly expanded their power at sea. Although Huaxia's fleets are still as numerous as stars, Bianjing has already sensed the crisis. , told me several times that students from the West should be curbed.”
"You also know that this is a political issue, and we are doing academic research." Song Yingxing said, "Emperor Chengzu wrote "Humanism" in his later years, explaining that human beings are the foundation of all things in the universe. The most perfect supplement of "Natural Law" is the revival of the schools of thought for more than 100 years. The core ideas of "Humanism" and "Natural Law" are that the objective existence of human beings extends the objective existence of social law If we stop those students from the West now, it will violate the spirit of Chengzu's "Humanism" and Emperor Longxing's "Natural Law."
"I know what you said." Xu Guangqi sighed.
"You know, you should withstand the pressure from above." Song Yingxing insisted, "The development of these hundreds of years is based on the extension of "Humanism" and "Natural Law", which are the foundation of today's law and science. The bottom, if you recklessly violate them, what do the hundreds of millions of Chinese students think?"
Xu Guangqi remained silent.
Song Yingxing continued: "It took us more than 100 years to completely open the shackles of our minds. Do we want to go back now?"
"Don't forget that in his later years, Zhu Zi also wrote "A New Theory of Natural Law". He explained that the government is also an extension of human nature." Xu Guangqi said, "The government itself also exists objectively, just like the law, and politics is also objective. product of existence."
Song Yingxing fell silent.
Of course he has read Zhu Xi's "New Theory of Natural Law".
Compared with Zhao Chun's "Natural Law", Zhu Xi's "New Theory of Natural Law" is more about political philosophy.
He believes that after the birth of human beings, they began to develop into organizational forms.
From primitive society, leaders appeared, and when the country was formed, the government was born.
The government and the country are dependent, and no one can do without the other.
In the more than 100 years of the wave of humanism, anarchist faction was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has had a great influence among the people.
Even when the controversial Quanzhou incident happened that year, Bianjing sent a large number of elites to stabilize the situation.
After that incident, it was proven that anarchism would not work.
Any part of the country is based on the natural evolution of man himself.
For example, in the Grain Storage Department, people need to eat. In order to deal with emergency food shortages, this yamen was born.
Another example is the Ministry of Public Security. There are evil deeds in human society, and evil deeds also exist objectively, so there is the Ministry of Public Security.
This series of departments must exist.
This is Zhu Xi's political philosophy.
It is a supplement to Zhao Chun's "Natural Law".
It clarified the specific roles of the imperial court and the government in the country, and also perfected the boundaries between the two.
This means that the operation of human society is not only influenced by law and science, but also politics must not be ignored.
It's just that politics is invisible, intangible, and full of mystery.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Who?" Xu Guangqi asked.
"Shanchang, the people from Bianjing are here."
Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing looked at each other.
Soon, Xu Guangqi met people from Bianjing.
This is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and elegant. He is well dressed and has a dignified demeanor.
He is the current Deputy Prime Minister of the Western Affairs Bureau and the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he also serves as the Minister of the National Assembly.
His name is Wen Tiren.
Wen Tiren is a politician, a very easy-going politician.
"Mr. Xu, we meet again."
"Please come face-to-face, Prime Minister Wen."
When he came to Xu Guangqi's office, Wen Tiren said bluntly: "Xu Shanchang, this time I came to Hangzhou for one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"We suspect that Westerners have sent spies to lurk in Hangzhou University. We need to conduct a comprehensive investigation on all those who come from the West."
"I'm afraid this is biased." Song Yingxing said.
"This is related to national security issues." Wen Tiren said.
After a pause, Wen Tiren emphasized: "I heard that the one named Newton, so Hangzhou University will be the No. 1 general subject right away?"
"Yes."
"Europa has entered the second scientific revolution. Although we are about to complete the second industrial iteration, some powerful countries in the West have risen one after another and are already reshaping the world. We must take some countermeasures."
Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said, "How will Bianjing treat Newton?"
Wen Tiren said: "Of course we follow the laws of China. We don't deliberately target anyone."
Song Yingxing said: "If Bianjing takes outrageous actions, it will definitely affect the value system that China has shaped for hundreds of years. I don't need to say more about the damage to today's society, right?"
He went on to add: "The changes made by two generations of Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Longxing exhausted their efforts..."
Before Song Yingxing finished speaking, Wen Tiren smiled and said, "Of course what you said is correct. I don't think that a few talents who come to China to study in China can make the West rise. Water flows from high places to low places. If the water in the low places is not If you keep going downhill, sooner or later, you will be equal to the high place, and a powerful country will be born in the west, which was predicted long before Cheng Zu passed away."
Song Yingxing was slightly taken aback.
"From now on, China is still the dominant country in the world, but the rise of a powerful country in the West has become inevitable." Wen Tiren said, "The world has changed, and the era of pan-globalization has arrived."
