Sweep the World

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Baijia of Zhu Xia's scholars was either annexed by Confucianism, or played the "Confucian Skin X Bone" set. In fact, there is no way to inherit it.

Liu Yan wanted a theory to unify the nation's thinking. Apart from searching among the various schools of Confucianism, he could only create a theory by himself, but he was not specialized in this, and he would not have so much energy anymore.

In order to develop its internal affairs, the country pursued more than just restoring people's livelihood. According to Liu Yan's vision, scientific and technological progress should also be gradually unfolded.

Liu Yan only uses science but does not have much hands-on ability. What he can do is encourage people to discover and study science. As the ruler of a country, especially a king who founded the country, he has the ability to encourage.

As early as the third year of Yuanshuo, Liu Yan was already making arrangements, that is, opening as many schools as possible to increase the literacy rate. Only when there are more literate people will there be a scientific basis, or else you can’t read a lot of characters. How to explore science?

Nowadays, in Han, the military has the highest literacy rate. Liu Yan, who was born, is very familiar with certain military routines, but he didn’t learn the spirit of XX, but simply taught literacy. .

The military has so many retired personnel who can enter the township to become basic-level officials because they are literate. Otherwise, they would not even be able to read or record anything. How can they be officials?

At this stage, it is more difficult to popularize non-governmental education than to reach the sky. After all, ascending to the sky can still choose a cliff to play gliding, but if you want to popularize folk education, you can't change the teachers.

Since ancient times, students but no teachers have always troubled the promotion of education. Liu Yan copied so many families of families and collected countless classics, but the books of families can be obtained by copying their homes, but teachers can't grab them.

"Now those who can be called giants are all masters of calligraphy, poetry, and metaphysics." Sang Yu said of the embarrassing status of Zhu Xia civilization: "This generation is all talkative, but there is no way to govern the world."

Confucianism has capable people, and there are still many, especially after the Western Han Dynasty, there are more capable people of Confucianism. That is the fusion period after Confucianism continues to eliminate other doctrines and merge, which is what Confucianism calls "combination and universality." To put it bluntly, Confucianism also knows that it is not suitable to be a "ruling one party," knowing that nothing can be done except lip service. It can only get rid of other schools and use the knowledge of these schools to govern.

After the history of the Western Jin Dynasty, Confucianism, which has undergone numerous "rectifications", really has no more giants of the pragmatic school. All Confucian schools of thought are left with a mouth, and being able to speak well has no substantive and beneficial talents. This is the root of the Eastern Han dynasty. Confucianism lost its opponents and fell into constant civil strife. At the same time, they desperately studied the famous sayings of "Zhuzi" and wanted to use "ancestors" to overwhelm people, which led to the increasingly rigid Confucianism.

Sang Yu is actually still scared. If we want to talk about the cultural ravages of Hulu north of the Yangtze River, it is not as good as that of the south of the Yangtze River. He was fortunate that the cultural people in the South did not live up to their expectations. They lost almost all of their useful knowledge in governing the country and played with the "invincible" model. Furthermore, the study of calligraphy was more than enthusiasm for governing the country.

"Calligraphy can be used for nurturing, but it is useless in governing a country; poetry and prose can tell history, but it is also useless in governing a country; metaphysics...hehe." Sang Yu did not hide his mockery at all: "It is the theology that the king said."

Don't forget one thing, in Zhuxia civilization, the kingship has always overwhelmed the divine power. That is, the Sima family became puppets to make metaphysics flourish. Otherwise, no matter how stupid the ruler, metaphysics will not be seen as the mainstream of intellectual research.

After the ravages of Hulu, all parts of the North have fallen into a state of cultural impoverishment, but there are definitely more intellectuals who can do things than the South.

After Liu Yan was founded, there was an extreme lack of local officials. The northern scholars were recruited as officials in large numbers, and the South could get their position if they came over. Facts have proved that people who dared to be officials during the period of the founding of the country were a bit of a surprise. It was also that the Han country at that time had not demonstrated the strength of swallowing the world, and official fans did not dare to bet for the time being.

Waiting for the Han to show its ability to dominate the world, the number of people seeking officials soared, but the quality at this stage was really not good, especially the quality of the southern scholars was the worst. How bad is it? They are literate, they can speak with one mouth, and they know what to say and what not to say. When they get to the local government, they have their salaries and all the photos of filial piety below are collected. Then they started to make sculptures and put them there to prove Their own existence allows them to investigate how they should develop under the rule... Hey, don't be funny.

"That's true." Ji Chang didn't fall into trouble because he was born in the northern department. He said realistically: "A large number of'clay officials' are abolished every year. Although there are both in the north and the south, the most are in the south."

Liu Yan is still aware of this phenomenon, and even knows that those guys defended that they were engaging in "Huang Lao governing the world." If he hadn’t studied the doctrines of Zhu Xia civilization before, he really thought that the so-called "Lao Huang governing the world" means that officials do nothing and let the people freely exercise. But he really understands how "Lao Huang governs the world" After the incident, I knew that "Huang Lao Zhi Shi" didn't care about anything at all. On the contrary, there were quite a lot of things in charge.

The real "Huang Lao governing the world" talks about "doing nothing but governing", but it also emphasizes "doing nothing without doing nothing."

What does that mean? The core idea of ​​"Huang Lao Governing the World" is to follow the laws of the great world, respect the individuality of people, and after formulating a large framework, "everyone shows their magical powers" and advances toward this goal. The first stage talks about "doing something, but doing it rashly", which is the first step in formulating a plan. Then there is "doing something, not doing something". Since there is no deviation after the plan is made, officials should not let their own temperament be fooled. The third is "do nothing but do nothing". Recognizing that the development and the plan are not in line, don't treat it as a failure to see, and no matter what means are used, the deviation will be broken.

The so-called "Huang Lao Doctrine" is to do nothing, which is a kind of smear of Confucianism. If the Huang-Lao School as a "ruling one government and one party" really did nothing, the Western Han Dynasty rule of literature and scenery would never emerge. The "Huang Lao Doctrine" was abandoned by the Han Xiaowu Emperor Liu Che. It was purely that the Huang Lao School believed that the war against the Huns should be postponed and truly fully prepared to fight against the Huns. But the impatient Liu Che could not wait that long at all and come back. It is also Liu Che who dislikes the Huang Lao School's step-by-step approach (all things have a plan).

Any prestigious doctrine will not be useless, it is a means of governance adapted to the contemporary era, such as the prosperity of legalists in the Warring States period, Huang Lao became a prominent scholar in the early Han Dynasty, and even the rise of Confucianism is also the call of the times.

Liu Yan is not harsh on unqualified officials. What he adopted is to be demoted to the lower level for training. Many of them become competent officials after training, and the ones that rot are degraded repeatedly. He is not tolerant of officials who violate the law at all. The lightest thing is to go to a border to repair the earth, and directly cut down those guys.

The current Han country is not so short of intellectuals as officials. It is a common phenomenon after the rise of a country. There will be a shortage of people who grow peach trees, that is, people who never lack peaches.

"Ahem..." Lv Yi didn't dare to let Sang Yu "bring the rhythm", and quickly changed the subject: "The construction of the new Chang'an is fast, and it can be completed by next winter at the latest."

New Chang'an will not build a city wall, only the Miyagi area needs a palace wall, and the construction speed is indeed very fast under the overtime work of a large number of laborers.

Han has now completed the expulsion of Hulu, but Liu Yan hasn't ascended the throne for a long time. He doesn't seem to be too anxious, but some people are anxious, not just officials, but the people are actually even more anxious.

Zhu Xia civilization is a nation that needs to be the leader. For one to two thousand years, the need for the emperor is almost deep in the bones of the bones. I am really not used to the days without an emperor.

Millions of laborers are sweating for the construction of New Chang'an, some come from corvee, and more are hired.

Correspondence is a kind of obligation, including serving as a soldier and working. Before the Qin Dynasty, you also need to prepare your own dry food. After the Han Dynasty, you need to eat and drink from the country. Even some of the work of the corvee has wages (beginning with Liu Che, a benevolent boy).

In the Han country under Liu Yan’s rule, the people were expropriated and forced to receive wages only for a prolonged period of time. Food and drink were taken from the country as before the Han, but they added clothes to distribute. As a result, after the envoys of various countries entered the Han country, no matter whether it was building roads Yes, the city is still being repaired, and the clothing is uniform, making the envoys of various countries mistakenly believe that the people who are working are also members of the army.

The people who are responsible for building roads are actually just like that, while those who build new Chang'an are different. They have already learned that after the city is built, they can move in by themselves and work as their own homes. The people in charge of repairing the palace are even more enthusiastic. They hope that there will be an emperor who has been looking forward to it for a long time, knowing that the achievement of the new Chang'an is the time for the king to advance to the emperor, and they are all working hard.

"It's almost a year faster than expected..." Liu Yan originally planned to build the new Chang'an in three years. He didn't know how much the people's enthusiasm was. So as...", scanning the ministers with cold eyes.

The people who were scanned by Liu Yan looked like they had a clear conscience. They acted urging, but did not squeeze, which can be fully judged from data such as work-related injuries.

Sang Yu knew that some things didn't need to be explained at all, and it was more appropriate to look at the data than a thousand words. He first talked about the data on work-related injuries, and then came back to the topic: "My Lord, when it comes to doctrine, can the minister say a few more words?"

Recently, Liu Yan has been talking about where his "beauties" are more than once. None of the central officials are deaf. They still intend to spread it to more people. The doctrines and schools that are still alive have become excited.

What Sang Yu said was a routine that has existed in all dynasties and dynasties: "Why don't the king issue an edict to recruit talents?"

The official title should actually be called "Ling for Talents". The first "Ling for Talents" that can be recorded came from Qin Xiaogong, and the monarchs or heroes who wanted to make a difference in various dynasties also did it. Every time a "Looking for Talents" comes out, people with ambitions will go to apply, and there have been quite a lot of people with great abilities.

All of a sudden, Liu Yan was stunned. It was nothing but amazement why Sang Yu brought this up.

Having said that, the north has long been a culturally impoverished land after the raging Hulu, and all educated people have fled to the south. If the recruitment order comes out, the south will definitely benefit the most. The northern part of Sangyu Isn't one of the leaders going to sit on wax?

"Recruitment? After valuing Confucianism, the only person who can be called a sage is a great Confucian." Liu Yan was more or less motivated, but with his own worries, and said: "The Confucian disciples have lost their original intention of governing the world and helping the people. What's the use of a bunch of officials who can only climb up?"

After hearing this, the faces of the people were different. The generals who thought they were disciples of the soldiers did not even cover up laughing. Some people who thought they were legalists were also laughing. Only some people who thought they were Confucian scholars looked embarrassed. .

"This..." Regardless of what he was before, Sang Yu, the judge of the country, began to feel that he was a member of the Legalist school anyway, and he was not afraid of making things worse: "All the scholars are hoping like nectar, why don't the kings follow it?"

In fact, Liu Yan now understands that Confucianism has long been not pure Confucianism, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The politics of the elites in the Eastern Han Dynasty have been prevalent. That’s why there were so many Confucian scholars in the melee between the princes in the late Han Dynasty, but they didn’t do Confucian “good jobs”. Even after the Western Jin Dynasty, Confucianism went more and more off the beaten track.

Lu Yi always felt that Sang Yu had a conspiracy, but there was no conspiracy. He is very clear about the number of scholars, the northern scholars do not know if there are more than 30% of the southern scholars. But Sang Yu, who has been suppressing the South, would have such a proposal? To say that Sangyu has no conspiracy, UU reading www.uukanshu.com he absolutely does not believe it.

[As Sang Yu said, the southern gentry emphasized calligraphy, poetry, and metaphysics, and not very talented in the world...] Thinking of this, Lu Yi subconsciously looked at Wang Xizhi sitting in the corner. This talent must be there, but it is Fengya's talent, Wenlue can't govern a county, and martial arts can't make a team of soldiers: [Could it be... Sangyu wants the king to see the southern gentry? 】

In fact, there are scholars who can work in the south, but too many famous "people" belong to the elegant people who can only talk about it. Lu Yi is too clear that Liu Yan only talks about practicality, otherwise Wang Xizhi who was called would not be just a writer. The secretary Lang should be a local official like Wang Meng who was let out to do practical work.

Liu Yan was also guessing what Sang Yu wanted to do. In a very short period of time, he recalled the gap between the scholars of the North and the South. At the same time, he had to think about whether there was any hidden "power" in the north to come out. That's why there was Sang Yu. Use the incompetence of the southern gentry to embellish the "mighty" ability.

"My lord, the minister agrees with the words of the imperial magistrate." Ji Chang didn't have too many elegant rhetoric, and clearly said: "Thinking can bring benefits. There are many people and opinions. The best extracts can be taken away from the chaff. "

"So..." Liu Yan looked at the imperial literati Wang Xizhi, and ordered: "The order is acceptable."
