Dahan first prince

Chapter 342

Listening to Yang Li's words, Liu Ying's expression was neither happy nor sad, neither sullen nor angry, she just looked at him indifferently;

Looking at the determination in Yang Li's eyes, the indifference on his face, and the composure in his temperament, which was extremely inconsistent with his age, he was nothing like Gu Jing.

The two monarchs and ministers are like this, one standing in front of the imperial couch and the other standing under the imperial steps;

One head down, one head up;
I don't know how long it took, but finally Liu Ying smiled slightly, then shook her head and sighed, turned sideways, and sat back on the imperial couch.

And under the imperial steps, Yang Li only smiled heartily, suppressed his smile, and quietly sat back beside the hall, like an old monk in meditation, or sitting upright like a bell...

"Not wronged?"

"Nothing."

"Yu, no complaints?"

"No complaints..."

In just a few words, Liu Ying asked seriously, while Yang Li answered calmly.

But both the monarch and his ministers understood: what exactly does this mean.

This means that from today onwards, the fragmented Mohism will gain the support of Emperor Liu Ying himself;

At the same time, the three lines of Mohism, which parted ways due to disagreement of ideas, will remain alone in the Li family of Qin Moxiang.

Qi Mo's only son, Yang Li, will become the legally endorsed Mohist son of the Han Dynasty from now on;
And the Dengling clan of Chumo, who is famous for being a chivalrous man, will be completely classified as "creepy ways", and the Mo of the Xiangfu clan of Qimo, who was born in Yang Li and established himself in the world with eloquence, will also be classified as "extracurricular". Readings' category.

In addition, in the next tens or hundreds of years, the Mohists will pay a lot of price.

——The Mohists will not participate in politics within a hundred years, which means that in the next 100 years, the Mohists will not be able to get any support except the emperor himself;

Mohist scholars are not rewarded and are not listed as ministers, which means that Mohist cannot find their own spokesperson in the military and court through the establishment of martial arts, and cannot win the favor of students all over the world;

In local counties and counties, the scholars of the Mohist school did not serve as senior officials, practiced Mohist rules, and did not advocate Mohism and the people. This meant that during the Warring States period, the strategy of "based on the low-level masses for development" that Mohism relied on for survival would not be able to be used. space;

Any scholar who wants to learn from the Mohist school needs Zongzheng to find out the details himself, and then Liu Ying personally decides, which makes the personnel power of the entire Mohist family firmly in the hands of the emperor Liu Ying.

Liu Ying is very sure: If the same conditions are placed in front of Legalism, Confucianism, or the ruling school of the Han Dynasty: Huang-Lao School, they will definitely not be accepted.

In particular, "within ten years old, all Mohist scholars should regard themselves as "after Luban craftsmen", and never regard themselves as "after Mo Di", which is tantamount to persecuting Mohist scholars. The gods deny the master's inheritance, deceive the master and destroy the ancestors!

But Liu Ying also understands: If the Mohists really want to shine in the present and future Han Dynasty, then this series of extremely demanding requirements is absolutely indispensable.

To put it bluntly: as a descendant, Liu Ying naturally has a good impression of the Mohists;
But as a feudal emperor with thousands of years of historical vision, Liu Ying is extremely vigilant towards the Mohists.

From a positive point of view, Liu Ying hopes that the existence of the Mohist School can break the original track of Chinese history, stop entering the vicious circle of 'civilian and warrior alternately governing the country', and turn to 'engineering' in the early millennium, and even in 2000. statecraft' advanced civilization stage;

But from a negative point of view, Liu Ying does not hope that the existence of the Mohist School will lead to some extremely advanced political ideas that are advanced enough to make the Chinese civilization fall after the first emperor won the government, and come to this land in advance. On the early civilization of the unified regime of feudal emperors.

To this day, Liu Ying still has a deep memory of that famous saying.

——In most cases, right and wrong are not two extremes, but two stages.

Born to know, born to be just, always a minority;

Among the known human civilizations, most of the cases start with 'wrong', and then tentatively explore in the direction of 'right'.

Just like the young people of later generations, from being young and ignorant, to being ignorant, to being thoughtful, and then to being fully enlightened;

Another example is the evolution of human civilization from primitive tribalism to slavery to feudal monarchy and constitutional monarchy...
Such a process is a process of groping from 'absolutely wrong' to 'absolutely correct'.

The special thing about Mohism is that Liu Ying, as a later generation, knows very well: the end point of Chinese civilization, the end point of "absolute right", is Mohism.

It is the ideal society advocated and pursued by the Mohists, where there is no class, no aristocrats, love of non-offensive, respect for the same and meritorious, and everyone is equal.

It's just that after more than 2000 years, it was called "**"; but in today's Han Dynasty, it is called "Jianai".

But in order for this correct result to bear the correct fruit in China at the correct stage of civilization, Liu Ying must carefully wrap up this answer layer by layer.

Liu Ying felt extremely gratified and extremely fortunate that the current Mohism also happened to have a speaker who was outstanding enough to accept her 'inexplicable' arrangement...
"Whoo~"

"What I do today, I don't know how future generations will comment on it thousands of years later..."

Full of melancholy, Liu Ying let out a long sigh, and Liu Ying raised her head full of sighs, and looked at the group of dragon head woodcarvings with grinning teeth on the top of the temple, her eyes gradually became firm.

Because Liu Ying has realized that no matter how people evaluate this matter in the future, it doesn't matter to Liu Ying.

What Liu Ying wanted was never to become a "good emperor" who was praised by others.

Compared with the Chinese nation and even the future development of human civilization, Liu Ying is really too small...
"Hmm~"

"Even if you have made up your mind, I don't have much to say."

After speaking in a solemn tone, Liu Ying raised her head and looked at Yang Li who was sitting calmly under the imperial steps with all her eyes.

"Yuanshuo, the first year of the year, I will inform the Shaofu to set up Shanglin Garden this year."

With a loud voice, Liu Ying raised her hand a little, and saw a huge Kanyu with a length and width of three feet, which was carried into the hall by several eunuchs.

After the Kanyu was laid flat in the hall, Liu Ying also walked down the imperial steps slowly, lowered her head, and nodded in satisfaction to the "Shanglin Garden" on the Kanyu.

"Just take a look."

Greeting Yang Li softly, Liu Ying raised her hand and scanned the Kanyu in front of her.

"Shanglin Garden starts from Baili West of Chang'an, based on the gardens, gardens, and gardens of the old Qin Dynasty; it starts from Lantian, Yichun, Dinghu, Yusu, and Kunwu in the east, and goes west along Zhongnan Mountain to Changyang, Wu Yazha, encircling Huangshan Mountain in the north, turning eastward by the Weishui River, the area is more than three hundred miles wide;”

"The eight waters of Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, 潏, 滈, Chan, and Ba pass through the garden, and in the future, we should dig a marsh pond for water storage in the garden."

With an excited expression, she stated the plan of Shanglin Garden. Liu Ying withdrew her hand again, and looked at Yang Li beside her with a smile, who was carefully inquiring about the geomancy.

"My intention: to open thousands of hectares of official land in Shanglinyuan for renting and planting by the people who lost their land; and to move the military industry, iron smelting and other departments of Shaofu to escape from the world in Shanglinyuan."

"And in the past, the orphans of the heroes who were raised by me because of the death of the father were also placed in Shanglin."

"In the future, when the dynasty is established and the crown prince succeeds, it is time to use the 'Orphan Army' as a humerus, and meet the world's heroes in Shanglin to enrich his wings..."

Listening to Liu Ying's detailed explanation, Yang Lizhi nodded thoughtfully, but his eyes were still fixed on the huge Kanyu under his feet, unwilling to look away for a moment.

"The area is more than three hundred miles..."

"Opening up ten thousand hectares of official land, and renting it with the people who lost their land..."

"Shaofu military industry, iron smelting..."

"After heroes..."

"Orphan Army..."

"Prince Prince..."

With a distracted gaze, Yang Li murmured a few times before finally bringing back his scattered thoughts.

Straightened up, looked at Liu Ying beside him, Yang Li finally took a deep breath, and slowly cupped his hands to Liu Ying.

"Your Majesty, you can speak bluntly."

"——For the construction of Shanglin Garden, what kind of help does Your Majesty need from you?"

But seeing Liu Ying raised her eyebrows, she cast a surprised look at Yang Li, then smiled and turned sideways, came to the bottom floor of the imperial steps, and immediately sat down on her buttocks.

"Yu Shanglinyuan, Qing, do you have any advice?"

Saying something softly, Liu Ying stretched out her hand with a smile and pointed at the Kanyu in front of her.

"Shanglin Garden is more than three hundred miles wide, and it is also a 'garden', so there must be something for me. It is also the hunting place for the royal father-in-law, and the palace where I stay."

"Such a large-scale construction and waste of national wealth is not inconsistent with the Mohist's three-table method?"

After asking this meaningful question, Liu Ying leaned back her upper body, propped her elbows on the upper few steps of the imperial steps, and looked at Yang Li leisurely.

The method of the Mohist three tables is complicated and complicated, but simple, it is three sentences:

——Those who have roots, those who have roots, and those who are useful.

Those with roots mean that there is evidence of historical experience;
The original one means that there is realistic evaluation evidence;
If it is useful, it is said that there is evidence of the effect after practice.

To put it simply, it is whether there is history to prove its correctness, whether there are objective facts to support its justice, and whether there are actual practical results to prove its necessity.

It is also on this basis that the Mohist derived universal love, non-attack, virtuous, advocating the same, festival use, festival burial, non-joy, heavenly will, Ming ghost, non-life, etc. The ten core ideologies, as well as the personal life style requirements of the Mohist scholars, that is, the "Mohists" have no clothes, no shoes, and no money.

Because according to the perspective of "the one with roots", that is, the historical experience testifies, the hundreds of years of war in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have caused the people of the world to suffer a lot;

In order to prevent the people all over the world from being poisoned by the flames of war and being displaced by endless wars, the Mohists put forward the idea of ​​"universal love and non-aggression": don't fight any more~ Everyone is friendly~
As for advocating the same and appreciating the virtuous, it is basically the same situation.

So in Liu Ying's view: I want to spend a lot of trouble to build a royal garden that is only for the royal family to hunt and play, which obviously violates the "law of three appearances" of Mohism, especially the core of Mohism's thought. ' is advocated.

——Since it is a construction, it must not escape the accusation of a "massive construction". Coupled with the scale of Linyuan's hundreds of miles, it is definitely not related to "frugal use".

Furthermore, according to the Mohist's three-table method, the emperor's construction of a large-scale royal garden, no matter in terms of historical experience, objective facts, or practical results, obviously cannot be regarded as a good thing that "benefits the country and the people".

Even if Liu Ying made it clear that Shanglinyuan would also set up Guantian as a stage for bankrupt farmers to make a comeback, this reality could not be changed.

the reason is simple.

——Shanglin Court, is 'Garden'.

It is the 'Garden', and the main function of the Shanglin Garden must be a royal garden for people to play and enjoy.

Liu Ying is very sure: everything related to "play" is unlikely to conform to the "three-table method" of Mohism.

So at this moment, Liu Ying is very curious: what is her opinion of Yang Li, who is the last hope of the Mohists, in Shanglinyuan.

Hearing Liu Ying's question, Yang Li obviously heard the deep meaning behind Liu Ying's words.

Smiling and raising his head, seeing Liu Ying smiling encouragingly to him again, Yang Licai turned sideways again and looked at the huge Kanyu on the ground, which was as long as three sheets wide.

"Your Majesty asks the minister: Can Shanglin Garden conform to the Mohism's three forms?"

Asking softly, Yang Li smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Even if His Majesty blames the crime, the minister has no choice but to say it;"

"——Any large-scale construction projects that do not benefit the people, are wasteful and extravagant, are not convenient for the people, and are not available to all scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen in the world. They are not in line with the three forms of my Mohist law..."

"Your Majesty said: Shanglin Garden should open up tens of thousands of hectares of official land for renting and planting by people who have lost their land; however, Shanglin Garden has hundreds of miles of land and tens of thousands of hectares of fields, but it can only accommodate tens of thousands of households..."

"Your Majesty also said that if you will move the military and iron smelters of the Shaofu to Shanglin, then the craftsmen of the Shaofu will live in Shanglin for more than half of the time."

"In this way, the tenants renting and planting official land in Shanglin Garden are no more than eleven of the craftsmen of the various divisions in the Shaofu."

With that said, Yang Li pointed to several triangles on the map.

"Your minister sees this landscape, there are palaces, gardens, and gardens everywhere, and there are hundreds of miles of hunting grounds..."

Having said that, Yang Li just shook his head with a stiff smile.

After a while, Yang Li smiled and turned to look at Liu Ying again.

"However, in Shanglinyuan, the minister, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Firstly, our Mohism has an agreement with His Majesty: Within a hundred years, our Mohism will not participate in and discuss politics, and will not speak out about government affairs."

"For your Majesty's orders, I have no objection to the ministers and the Mohist scholars, and I only wish to obey the edict..."

"both······"

Saying that, Yang Li did not forget to smile and cup his hands to Liu Ying, and immediately stood up gratefully and looked at Liu Ying, but pointed his finger at the extremely inconspicuous corner of the Kanyu beside him. .

"Your Majesty's meaning, I generally understand..."

"Your Majesty wants to make the future heir apparent gather heroes from all over the world in Shanglin, and set up an ink garden in Shanglin..."

In the middle of speaking, Yang Li finally smiled, and immediately turned around solemnly, and bowed to Liu Ying again.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty to show you;"

"——For the construction of Shanglin Garden, your majesty and minister, what entrustment do you want to make?"
