Chapter 709

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuxia's various schools of thought were either merged by Confucianism or played the set of "Confucianism skin x bone". In fact, they can't find inheritance.

Liu Yan wants to have a theory to unify the thoughts of the whole country. In addition to looking for it among the Confucian schools, he can only create a theory by himself, but he is not professional here, and he doesn't have so much energy.

In order to develop internal affairs, the pursuit of Han is not simply to restore people's livelihood. According to Liu Yan's assumption, the progress of science and technology should also be carried out gradually.

Liu Yan can only use science without much practical ability. What he can do is to encourage people to discover and study science. As a ruler of the country, especially a founding king, he has the ability to encourage.

As early as the third year of Yuanshuo, Liu Yan was already arranging, that is, opening more schools as much as possible to increase the literacy rate. Only when there are more literate people can there be a scientific foundation. Otherwise, how can we explore science if we don't know one big character?

In today's Han country, the military has the highest literacy rate. As a PLA born Liu Yan is very familiar with some routines of the military, but he doesn't learn the spirit of XX, but simply teaches literacy.

So many military retirees can enter the countryside and become grass-roots officials because they can read, otherwise they can't even read the papers and record anything. How can they be an official?

At this stage, it is more difficult than going to heaven to popularize folk education. After all, you can choose a cliff to hang gliding. If you want to popularize folk education, you can't turn out teacher capital.

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

"Now those who can be called giants are all masters of calligraphy, poetry and metaphysics." Sang Yu said the embarrassing situation of Zhuxia Civilization: "this generation is a generation of empty talk, but they have no ability to govern the world."

There are many capable people in Confucianism, especially after the Western Han Dynasty. That is the integration period after Confucianism continues to eliminate other theories and merge, that is, the so-called "combination and universality" of Confucianism. To put it bluntly, even Confucianism knows that it is not suitable to be a "ruling party". It knows that it can do nothing but kill other schools and use the knowledge of these schools to govern.

After the history of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Confucianists who had experienced countless times of "rectification 1 style" really no longer had the giants of the practical school. There is only one mouth left in each school of Confucianism, but there is no substantive and beneficial talent. This is the curse of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Confucianism had no opponents and fell into constant civil strife. While swearing at war, they all studied the famous sayings of "philosophers" and wanted to oppress people with "ancestors", which led to the increasingly rigid Confucianism.

In fact, sang Yu is still afraid. When it comes to culture, the rampage of Hu Lu in the north of the Yangtze River is really not comparable to that in the south of the Yangtze River. He was glad that the cultural people in the South did not work hard, lost almost all the useful knowledge of governing the country, and played the model of "mouth gun invincible". In addition, the research on calligraphy was more than the enthusiasm for governing the country.

"Calligraphy can be used for edification, where it is not beneficial to governing the country; poetry and Fu can be used for Ming history, and also where it is not beneficial to governing the country; metaphysics... Ha ha." Sang Yu didn't hide his mockery at all: "it's the theology mentioned by the king."

Don't forget that Zhuxia civilization has always been that kingship prevails over theocracy, that is, only when Sima family becomes a puppet can metaphysics flourish. Otherwise, no stupid ruler will watch metaphysics become the mainstream of intellectual research.

After the ravages of the Husu, all parts of the North fell into a state of cultural barrenness, but there are definitely many more intellectuals who can do things than in the south.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Liu Yan was extremely short of local officials. A large number of scholars in the north were recruited as officials. If the South came, it could get its own position. Facts have proved that during the founding period, those who dared to be officials were somewhat expected. At that time, the Han country had not shown the strength of tiger swallowing the world, and officials and fans did not dare to bet for the time being.

After waiting for the Han state to show its strength of dominating the world, the number of people seeking officials increased sharply, but the quality of this stage is really not very good, especially the quality of scholars in the south is the worst. How bad is it? They can read and speak with one mouth. They also know what to say and what not to say. When they go to the local government, they take the salary and collect all the filial piety photos at the bottom. Then they start to make sculptures and put them there to prove their existence, so that they can investigate how to develop under the rule... Hey, don't be funny.

"Indeed." Ji Chang did not fall from the well because he was born in the Northern Department. He said realistically: "a large number of clay sculpture officials have to be abolished every year. Although there are both north and south, most of them are in the south."

Liu Yan still knows this phenomenon, and even knows that those guys defend themselves as "Huang Lao ruling the world". If he hadn't studied the theories of Zhuxia civilization before, he really thought that the so-called "Huang Lao governing the world" was that officials didn't do anything and let the people play freely, but after really understanding what the "Huang Lao governing the world" was about, he knew that the "Huang Lao governing the world" didn't do anything at all. On the contrary, he managed a lot of places.

The real "Huang Lao governing the world" talks about "governing by inaction", but it also emphasizes "doing everything by inaction".

What do you mean? The core idea of "Huang Lao governing the world" is to follow the laws of the world, respect people's personality, and formulate a large framework. After that, "each shows his magic power" moves forward with this goal. The first stage is about "doing something, but acting recklessly", which is the first step in making a plan. Then there is "something to do, something not to do". Since there is no deviation after the formulation of the plan, officials should not let their own temperament go blind. The third is "doing nothing but doing everything". Don't ignore the fact that the development is inconsistent with the plan. No matter what means you use, you will break the deviation.

The so-called "Huang Lao theory" is to do nothing, which is a smear of Confucianism. If the Huang Lao school, as a "ruling party", really did nothing, the rule of Wen Jing in the Western Han Dynasty would not appear at all. The "Huang Lao theory" was abandoned by Liu Che, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. It was purely because the Huang Lao school at that time thought that it should postpone the war against the Huns and make real and comprehensive preparations to start a war against the Huns, but the impatient Liu Che couldn't wait that long. In addition, Liu Che extremely didn't like the step-by-step set of Huang Lao school (everything has a plan).

Any famous theory is not good for nothing. It is a means of governing the world suitable for the contemporary era. For example, the rise of Legalists in the Warring States period, Huang Lao in the early Han Dynasty, and even the rise of Confucianism are the call of the times.

Liu Yan is not strict with unqualified officials. He is demoted to the lower level to exercise. Many of them become capable officials after exercise. What rots is repeated demotion. He is not tolerant of law breaking officials at all. The lightest thing is to go to a border to repair the earth and cut down those guys directly.

Now the Han country is not so short of intellectuals as officials. That is a common phenomenon after the rise of a country. People who plant peach trees will be short, that is, they will never be short of people who pick peaches.

"Cough..." Lv Yi did not dare to let sang Yu 'take the rhythm' and quickly changed the topic: "the construction of new Chang'an is very fast, and it can be completed next winter at the latest."

New Chang'an will not build the city wall, only the palace wall is needed within the palace city. Under the overtime of a large number of labor, the construction speed is really fast.

The state of Han has now completed the expulsion of Hu prisoners, but Liu Yan has not ascended the throne. He doesn't seem to be too eager, but some people are anxious, not just hundreds of officials, but the people are more anxious.

Zhuxia civilization is a nation that needs leaders. For one or two thousand years, the need for emperors is almost deep into the bone marrow. I'm not used to the days without emperors.

Millions of labors are sweating for the construction of new Chang'an, some are from corvee, and more are employed.

Corvee is a kind of obligation, including being a soldier and working. In the pre-Qin period, it also needs to provide their own dry food, eat and drink before the Han Dynasty, and the state will provide food and drink. Even some corvee workers have wages (starting with Liu Che, a boy who is good at money).

In the Han state under Liu Yan's rule, the people were conscripted for corvee, and they could only get wages if the period was extended. Eating and drinking was like taking it from the state before the Han Dynasty, but they added a distribution of clothes. As a result, after the envoys of various countries entered the Han state, whether they were building roads or cities, their clothes were unified, making the envoys of various countries mistakenly believe that the people working also belong to the army.

Those people who are responsible for road construction are actually like that. The people who build the new Chang'an are different. They have learned that they can live in after the city is completed and work as their own home. The people in charge of repairing the palace city are even more enthusiastic. They have been looking forward to an emperor for a long time. They know that the completion of new Chang'an is the time for the king to advance to the emperor. They are working hard.

"Almost a year faster than expected..." Liu Yan had planned to spend three years to build new Chang'an. He didn't know how enthusiastic the people were. He knocked and said, "don't squeeze the people's power. If you let me know who did this..." he glanced at the officials with cold eyes.

The people who were scanned by Liu Yan were all with a clear conscience. They were urged, but they did not squeeze. It can be judged from the data of industrial injury and so on.

Sang Yu knows that some things don't need to be explained at all. It's more appropriate to look at data than thousands of words. He first talked about the data on industrial injury, and then came back to the topic: "Sir, when it comes to theory, can you say more?"

Recently, Liu Yan has talked about where his "beauty" belongs more than once. None of the central dignitaries is deaf. They still intend to spread it to more people. One of the living theories and schools is excited.

Sang Yu said the routine of all dynasties: "why didn't the king issue an imperial edict to recruit talents?"

In fact, the formal name should be called "order for seeking talents". The first "order for seeking talents" recorded in history came from Duke Qin Xiaogong. Later, kings or owls who wanted to make a difference in all dynasties also did so. Every time the "order for excellence" comes out, people with ambition will apply for it, and there have been a considerable number of people with great ability.

For a moment, Liu Yan was a stunned God, not anything else. He was surprised why sang Yu brought up this stubble.

It's said that the North has long become a cultural barren land after the rampage of hooligans. Educated people have fled to the south. If you recruit talents, most of the benefits will be from the south. Isn't sang Yu, one of the leaders of the northern system, going to sit in the wax?

"Recruit sages? After respecting Confucianism alone, only great Confucianism can be called sages." Liu Yan was more or less motivated, but he had his own worries. He said, "the disciples of Confucianism have lost their original intention of governing the world and helping the people, and have become a group of officials who can only climb up. What's the use of calling me?"

After hearing this, the faces of the people were different. The generals who thought they were military disciples didn't even cover up and laughed. Together with some people who thought they were Legalists, only some people who thought they were Confucian looked embarrassed.

"This..." no matter what he was before, sang Yu became the chief justice of the country. He began to feel that he was a member of the legalist family. He was not afraid of making things big: "scholars are looking forward to sweet dew. Why don't the king follow it?"

In fact, Liu Yan now understands that Confucianism was not pure Confucianism for a long time, especially the prevalence of Haozu politics in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since the valve of Eastern Han Dynasty began to take shape, no matter what theory it is, it has become a "family school", resulting in a large number of relevant ideas. That is why there were so many Confucians in the mixed war of princes in the late Han Dynasty, but they did not do the "good work" of Confucianism, Even after the Western Jin Dynasty, Confucianism also ran more and more biased.

LV Yi always felt that sang Yu had a conspiracy, but there was no conspiracy. If he knows the number of taxis, he doesn't know whether there are more than 30% of taxis in the south. And sang Yu, who has been suppressing the south, should have such a proposal? If sang Yu had no plot, he would never believe it.

[as sang Yu said, the southern gentry lay particular stress on calligraphy, poetry and metaphysics, and had little worldly talent...] LV Yi subconsciously looked at Wang Xizhi sitting in the corner. He must have some talent, but he is elegant. Literature and strategy can't govern a county, and martial arts can't make a team of soldiers: [is it difficult... Does sang yu want the king to see the southern gentry?]

In fact, there are also scholars who can work in the south, but too many famous "everyone" belong to elegant people who can only talk. LV Yi is too clear that Liu Yan only talks about practicality. Otherwise, Wang Xizhi, who was summoned, would not be just a secretary Lang who writes, but a local official who is released to do practical things like Wang Meng.

Liu Yan also guessed what sang Yu wanted to do. In a very short time, he recalled the gap between the north and the south. At the same time, he had to think about whether there was any hidden "great power" in the north to come out of the mountain. Therefore, sang Yu embellished the "great power" with the incompetence of the southern gentry.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the words of the imperial envoy." Ji Chang did not have too many beautiful words. He clearly said, "Guang Si Fang can bring benefits. There are many people and many opinions."

"So..." Liu Yan looked at Wang Xizhi, the imperial scholar, and ordered: "the imperial edict can be issued."
