After leaving the deep sea, Jiang Hua summoned a group of senior executives to discuss and find out what was missing.
Looking at Jiang Hua sitting above and talking eloquently, Jun Chengyu only felt that he was old and a little behind the times.
When the late Doctor Yan died last year, Jiang Hua was still quite immature, and there were more or less problems with both his strength and his mentality.
At the beginning, Jun Chengyu's expectation for Jiang Hua was to endure the humiliation, surrender to the king, and then remain useful and retain the land of Yancheng. As long as Yancheng remains, there is still hope for everything.
Later, Jun Chengyu discovered that Jiang Hua was very decisive and did not waver at all, and chose to resist to the end without hesitation.
At that time, Jun Chengyu just thought that he would be loyal to the Jiang family in order to repay the kindness of his ancestors!
At that time, Jun Chengyu was already prepared to die, and also arranged an escape route for Jiang Hua. He could die by himself, but Jiang Hua, the only child of the late emperor, could not die here no matter what. If the worst happens and Jiang Hua dies, then at least the Jiang family's bloodline should be preserved.
Then, Dashiguan won the battle, but the heart of Jun Chengyu did not fluctuate at that time, because Sun Tian who attacked was only the young master of the Sun family and could not represent the full power of the Sun family. Behind the Sun family, there were Hu from the Qing clan. Where's the family?
Immediately afterwards, when he succeeded to the throne, Jiang Hua awakened the bloodline of Emperor Yan in front of everyone. At that time, Jun Chengyu felt that Jiang Hua was really very similar to the late emperor. In the future, he must try hard to let Jiang Hua leave alive. Perhaps, he could Contact people from one hundred and seventy-three families.
At that time, it would definitely be impossible for the people of the 173th family to directly fight against Chao Guo, but it shouldn't be a big problem for them to join forces to rescue Jiang Hua in a critical moment.
When did you first start to see hope?
It was probably when Dongning Island appeared!
At that time, everyone in Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it was no longer a fatal situation.
Although the situation of certain death can inspire people's bloody courage, courage is something that can only be maintained in a short period of time. As time goes by, fear will arise in the heart.
When did you see hope?
It was probably when Peng Bing, Lin Er, Changkong and others successfully broke through and became Taoist priests.
But now, Jun Chengyu has no doubt that Jiang Hua will lead Yancheng to victory in the future!
"This is the situation. Xiang Liu appears in Meishan. This is a true first-generation monarch. But don't be afraid. As long as he dares to take action openly, Master and I will take action too!"
"So, although the situation is more complicated, if the opponent is only the Chao Kingdom, then this battle is not unwinnable."
"In order to ensure the safety of the five eastern counties, Gu has an idea. He plans to take out Guyang County and Yang County..."
As he listened, Jun Chengyu felt that he might not be able to keep up with the times and could no longer keep up with Jiang Hua's thinking.
At this moment, Jun Chengyu even had the idea of waiting until the situation stabilized, retreating to the second line, and then starting to live a retirement life.
"It's good. After doing this, Yancheng will be safe, and Chunmu County, Dong County and Liu County will also be safe."
"In the past, these counties could not be developed due to security issues and lack of strength. Now these four counties on land are the land of nine counties. These nine counties are enough to accommodate tens of millions of people... ..." Jun Chengyu agreed without hesitation.
I just agreed and sighed silently in my heart. I seemed to be a little behind and couldn't keep up with the times. My vision is still a little shallow and my knowledge is limited. In the past, my thinking was limited to the Chao Kingdom. But the world is so big, what does Chao Kingdom mean?
In the future, many political affairs may need to consider not only the issues of the Chao Kingdom, but also the reactions of the nearby Wu Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, and Xu Kingdom, as well as the impact on the entire world.
But at the moment, I don't have such an overall view.
It's going to change.
You have to work hard too.
Thinking of this, Jun Chengyu only felt very motivated. Even if he had to retreat to the second line, he would at least watch the master chop off the head of the king Xi's dog, see the master conquer the Chao Kingdom, and see the master establish the country!
"Two counties turned into ten counties, enough to attract ten Taoist priests whose strength has reached the limit. These Taoist priests may not be Xiang Liu's opponents, but there is no problem at all in dealing with the possible attack of Chao Kingdom."
"Furthermore, this move can also show your magnanimity, my lord. Although it is an order for help, it is actually an order to recruit talents. However, with Yancheng's current strength and size, there are some things that can only be done silently but cannot be said."
Having said this, Taoist Changkong gave Jiang Hua a meaningful look.
In fact, she still had one sentence in her heart that she didn't say: This is to directly let the Qi Practitioners build a country!
This is the plan to directly establish a country that belongs exclusively to Qi Refiners!
These ten counties are ten testing grounds. Among these ten counties, there is no interference from the old nobles. These are ten brand-new counties. These are ten different starting points!
These ten counties will be completely controlled by Qi Refiners. The county guards are Qi Refiners, the county magistrates are Qi Refiners, and the township chiefs are still Qi Refiners. So, what will a country composed entirely of Qi Refiners be like? What kind of thing?
Taoist Changkong doesn't know the answer to this question, but this matter can only be done silently and cannot be shouted out.
Now, after all, is the era of the nobility!
The princes surnamed Ji are nobles, and the princes not named Ji are still nobles!
However, this is a good start after all!
It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Perhaps from now on, more and more Qi practitioners will choose to start their own country. Even if the country is smaller, at least they can practice their personal ideas relatively freely. Instead of being dependent on the king, the ruler, or a certain great nobleman as in the past.
Jun Weiyan didn't think so much, and said directly and carelessly: "This is a good thing. Selecting ten counties does not mean that there are only ten experts. Maybe there will be many experts staying in Yancheng and waiting for opportunities. Then he may join the Academy, these are very important backup forces..."
…
A few days later, the news was officially published in the Yancheng official newspaper: Order for help!
On Dongning Island, Old Man Li was cooking for the children. It was still a big pot of rice. After all, there were seventy or eighty children here. If we fry one plate after another, even Old Man Li will be exhausted and unable to finish it.
Old Man Li held the hand-cranked flint and steel invented by the Taoists. It is said that the key to this thing is a little bit of fire-attribute spirit stone fragments and residues. The fire-attribute spirit energy contained in these fragments is extremely rare, so small that it can be completely absorbed. It can only be compared to what the alchemists can practice in one day.
Currently, the price of this thing falls somewhere between convenience and inconvenience.
Call it inconvenient, but it is indeed very convenient to start a fire. You can directly create a flame by shaking it gently, and it is also very stable. Unlike the flints of the past, it was difficult to ignite hay without adequate technology.
When making a flint fire, hay must be prepared in advance and the stove must be prepared. Otherwise, if the wind blows or the hay is not taken care of well, the flame will not be ignited.
To be honest, after using it, Old Man Li felt that this hand-cranked flint was indeed very convenient!
But to say it is very convenient is not the truth. This thing is still relatively expensive.
Flint can sometimes be picked up, but even if you can't pick it up and buy it at the market, it's not worth much.
But a hand-cranked flint can cost hundreds of dollars in the market. With this kind of money, you can buy a hundred pounds of rice, ten pounds of pork, and a large pot of low-quality rice wine. Ordinary people who have nothing to do spend it. A hundred dollars to buy such a hand-cranked flint?
Even the flint in Old Man Li's hand was not bought by him. It was bought by Junior Academy. Old Man Li was very good at raising children and telling stories. It seemed that he was old and his physical strength was no longer good. , so I rewarded him with such a hand-cranked flint.
Anyway, after Old Man Li used it himself, it was really convenient!
The size of the flame can be adjusted freely. The biggest advantage is that it is stable and can not be extinguished by small winds. As for strong winds and strong winds, who should run outside in windy weather?
Before using it, Old Man Li first found some dry firewood and set it up, then put some hay under the dry firewood and on top of the dry tea, and finally lit the hay with a flint.
The hay burned quickly, making a crackling sound, and after a while, the dry wood finally caught fire too.
Looking at this scene, Old Man Li nodded slowly, then picked up the large iron pot from the side and placed it on top of the firewood. After a while, it was time to cook.
Taking advantage of his leisure time while cooking, the old man lay leisurely on the recliner, which was also equipped for him by the Junior Academy.
Lying here, watching the children playing and listening to the sounds of the children playing, the spring sunshine is not so hot yet, and I feel very comfortable under the sun.
With nothing to do, the old man picked up the Yancheng Official Newspaper that was just delivered today. He took several breaths after reading it.
After a few breaths, Old Man Li put down the official newspaper, folded it and placed it on his head. In the sunshine, it looked like he was sleeping soundly.
Young people are very capable!
However, this is a good thing. How can one be called a young man if he is not arrogant?
Just when Old Man Li saw the official newspaper of Yancheng, Qufu Academy, Donghai Academy, and Luoyang Academy also received the official newspaper of Yancheng in time and spread it among many young people.
The story this time still takes place in Qufu Academy. If you want to ask why, it is probably because it is the most chaotic place!
Confucius himself admired the Zhou rites and highly praised the Zhou rites initiated by Zhou Gongdan!
Therefore, the world of great harmony in Confucius's dream is a world with distinct levels of monarchs and ministers, monarchs, ministers, officials, scholars, countrymen, common people, and savages!
Even in the world of great harmony in the dream, the monarch is still the best, the ministers are second, the officials are third, and the savages are still the lowest.
Even the world of great harmony in the dream is still like this. The only difference is that in the world of great harmony in Confucius' dream, the monarchs and nobles in it are all gentlemen, and everyone's moral integrity can reach the level of The standard of a gentleman, everyone can live like a moral model.
Therefore, in Confucius' dream, these nobles did not eat people, nor did they exploit the people. Instead, they could understand the people, restrain their desires, and be gentlemen from beginning to end. In this way, the nobles will not exploit ordinary people so much.
And ordinary people will also understand the nobles, fight for the country, and learn from the nobles actively and hard, so that the people below will not think about defeating the superiors all day long, nor will they think about why this guy is here all day long. So stupid yet able to be a master.
In short, when ordinary people at the bottom and nobles at the upper level all become gentlemen, order will be restored in the world, and the world will be unified.
This is Confucius’s understanding of the world of great harmony. Regarding this understanding, many people want to stop Confucius’ mouth: Can you stop talking...
In particular, Meng Ke, the disciple of Confucius Sheng, advocated benevolent government and advocated that the people should be valued before the emperor. He even said something that was considered treasonous in the eyes of many nobles: the people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is despised.
After shouting this sentence, if Meng Ke himself was not very powerful, if it were not for Kong Sheng standing behind Meng Ke, Meng Ke would have committed suicide with seven arrows in the back!
There are also many aristocratic Confucian scholars who feel that Meng Ke has been brainwashed by Mo Sheng. It is unforgivable for a good Confucian scholar to have thoughts close to Mo Sheng. Meng Ke must be expelled from Confucianism!
However, Meng Ke himself is a big troll, and he is also very good at fighting. He is very powerful and has an awe-inspiring righteousness that can be said to be invincible. Therefore, he is not afraid of reasoning or physics!
Anyway, every time he heard Kong Sheng talk about his dream of a world of great unity, Meng Ke had the urge to block his senior brother's mouth and tell him to shut up!
Meng Ke is not the only one who has this impulse!
Kong Sheng himself was obviously one of the Three Saints of Qi Refiners, but he highly respected Zhou Rites and was loved by the nobles for this reason.
But nobles and qigong masters often cannot urinate in the same pot.
To put it nicely, Qufu Academy is all-encompassing and open-minded.
To put it harshly, Qufu Academy could not even unify its thoughts. As soon as Kong Sheng left, the Academy exploded within itself. Once Confucius dies, the Confucian scholars will most likely ignore the corpse, attack each other, and hold up the body of Confucius: I am the orthodox!
In the eyes of some Confucian scholars, the dead Confucius, the Confucius who could not speak, and the Confucius who wantonly tampered with the classics, is the best Confucius!
In the eyes of some Confucian scholars, every time Confucius publicly stated his ideas, it was damaging to Confucianism as a whole!
If it weren't for his lack of strength, some Confucian scholars might have wanted to expel Confucius from his Confucian status.
This is not the first time that a student has left Qufu Academy in such chaos, and today another student plans to leave.
And this student is also one of Zhang Liang's friends.
Han's son Fei has left, but Zhang Liang chose to stay in Qufu to continue his studies due to various reasons.
"Get up, are you planning to leave too?"
"Of course, why don't you leave and stay here?" the young man said without raising his head.
"You also know that I have always wanted to stand out, but my background has made me look down upon in the academy."
"Those nobles don't look down on me at all. Even though most of them are trash in my eyes, such trash can easily reach a high position by virtue of their background. But what about me? ?”
I'm speechless. I have to work overtime in the afternoon. If I had known that civil servants were like this, I wouldn't have done anything in the exam last year.
