"Are you bullying me for not reading?" Seeing the classics presented by the other party, Liu Ying angrily said, "These are clearly your Confucian classics, what does they have to do with our Mohist school?"
Facing the emperor's fury, the man calmly tidied his clothes to make them more upright and then said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. As we all know, Mozi once studied with Mencius. Although he later left for some reason, Mozi The Master was indeed a disciple of Confucianism, and his enlightenment studies also originated from Confucianism, and the various classics he studied at that time were also Confucian classics!"
"Since Mozi, the sage of the Mohist family, learned the righteous ways of Mohism from Confucian classics, then the descendants of Mohism in later generations can also find the principles of Mohism from Confucian classics. Isn't this unreasonable?" What this man said made Liu Ying was a little confused when he said it, but it seemed to be the truth.
Seeing that Liu Ying had stopped speaking, the man understood that the opportunity was fleeting, and immediately added, "Your Majesty, Mohism originated from Confucianism and is beyond Confucianism. Since the Mohist classics have been lost, it is natural to find support in Confucian classics. As a disciple of the Mohist school, your Majesty’s knowledge and abilities are beyond those of ancient and modern people. He will definitely be able to rediscover the essence of my Mohist school in the Confucian classics."
"Furthermore, in fact, except for the Analects of Confucius, the other classics are not written by my Confucian school, but are classics that existed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties in ancient times. In fact, most of the various schools of thought also originated from these classics. How can this be true? Are you talking about my Confucian classics?"
"Your Majesty is arbitrary in the world. Don't you know that many things of the Mohist family are actually quite out of date? The world belongs to your Majesty, how can you choose the best in the world? Such mistakes and omissions must not be the opinions of my Mohist family, but the incompetent descendants of future generations. Just omissions and tampering!”
After saying this, Liu Ying couldn't help laughing, and then appointed this young man named Dong Zhongshu to be the editor of the new "Mo Jing", responsible for part of the compilation work of the new "Mo Jing".
It sounds very outrageous that a Confucian scholar actually compiles Mohist classics, but it is also in Liu Ying's interests and even makes up for a big problem in Mohist thought, which is disrespect for the emperor.
Mohist thought disappeared after the unification of the world, largely because their ideas were too advanced. Mozi advocated that all officials, nobles, and even emperors must choose the most worthy people in the world, that is, rely on elections to produce government.
This was something that had not been achieved after 2000, let alone before 2000, so Dong Zhongshu stuffed his own grand unified theory of Confucianism, as well as his own fiddles with the induction of heaven and man, etc., into Mohism's In the classics, it became outrageous that it became the thought of the Mohist school passed down from generation to generation.
Although Confucianism is gone, Confucianism has been reincarnated through the filthy soil of Mohism.
Mohism and Confucianism became one.
The effect of this merger was very amazing. Later, it was often said that the reason why China was beaten by various powers in the later period was because of Confucian issues.
In fact, there is no big problem with Confucianism. In some places, it can even be said to be an extremely advanced theory. However, Confucianism does have a huge problem, and that is its disrespect for science and calling them "wonderful skills and tricks". , believing that these are things that undermine social stability.
Now, with the integration of Confucianism and Mohism, the biggest shortcomings of Confucianism have been made up. The newly born doctrines are constantly able to maintain the existence of a unified country to the greatest extent and are more able to support the development of science. As a result, the entire Han Empire has moved towards An unimaginably high-speed development path.
Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying himself was worthy of the title of Mohist Juzi. Under his auspices, in just three years, the Han Empire developed flintlock muskets, blast furnace iron-making methods, steam engines and other things. .
Well, this is not a joke. In just three years, Liu Ying created these super artifacts that can trigger the industrial revolution. After all, Liu Ying wrote in her previous life, and she wrote about this kind of technology in the low-tech world. Engage in scientific and technological revolution.
At the same time, Liu Ying also attaches great importance to logic and authenticity. When creating, she must consider which simpler technologies and equipment upgrades will be introduced first, and then which technological upgrades will be carried out in the current social environment. Light up the technology tree bit by bit.
This is completely different from those authors who traveled back in time and only knew how to make soap and glass. For the sake of authenticity, Liu Ying will strictly verify every technology and has a large amount of technical information in hand, including many technologies. Details and composition ratios of some materials, tempering and smelting techniques, etc.
Although Liu Ying was very surprised after she traveled through time, why she could only remember rough technical information as clearly as if it were stored in her head, but there is no doubt that with these technologies, the entire world With the blessing of all the national power of the Han Dynasty, it is not surprising that Liu Ying developed a steam engine and a flintlock gun within three years.
So it seems like we should declare war on the Huns next?
The answer is not that. When Liu Ying writes, she often carries out a lot of plot deductions. Then he discovered that if a new technology was discovered and promoted immediately, without regard to the power of the people, as shown in the movie, there would be only one result, which would be complete destruction like the previous Qin Dynasty.
In fact, with the help of Qin Mo, the Qin Dynasty also acquired many new technologies, such as Chi Dao technology, various exquisite construction technologies, weapon smelting technology, etc. However, Qin Shihuang was too eager to achieve success, and a large number of new Chi Dao were built. Tao, built the Great Wall and drained almost all the people's power. As a result, as soon as people died, the world began to rebel.
If the industrial revolution wants to break out, the most important thing is to share the benefits so that everyone in the world can benefit from the industrial revolution. Only then can the entire revolution be promoted instead of hastily promoting war.
So Liu Ying first designed a large number of civilian equipment around steam engines, which greatly improved social productivity, such as waterwheels and windmills. These are technologies that can explode land productivity.
When the population that the land can support increases so much that many people have nothing to do, they start to build a large number of factories to recruit workers. Countless steel-making blast furnaces rise from the ground. A large amount of steel is made into rails, and then one by one Railway tracks from the capital Chang'an to all directions of the Han Empire began to be laid, especially the railway tracks from the Han Empire to the Huns' border and so on.
Twelve years later, although the Han Dynasty had not yet started a war with the Huns, the Han Dynasty's railway tracks had been extended to Yunzhong County, and telegraph machines and other equipment were also installed in each county. Any disturbance could be transmitted to the central government immediately, and then An elite force of tens of thousands of people can pass the railway and only have one and a half days to reach any area on the border. From then on, there is no so-called surprise attack against the Huns. As long as they cannot announce it within three days, The city would inevitably be besieged by tens of thousands of Han troops, resulting in heavy casualties.
The development of domestic productivity has reached a level almost equivalent to that of the early industrial revolution, and the population has doubled in the past 12 years. The population of Han Dynasty has begun to rush towards the number of 60 million people, and many areas in the country can no longer accommodate it. So many people.
As a result, a large-scale outward expansion of the Han nation, which was hailed by later generations as the Great Sprawl Era, slowly began over a period of one hundred years.
