Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 172 Since there is nothing else to do, let's fix the book!

Fusu remembered that in the materials he had read, Confucius wandered to Weiguo one day.

Duke Ling of Wei asked Confucius: What is the geometry of Julu Delu?
Confucius replied: Sixty thousand millet.

So Weiguo also hired Confucius with the salary of "[-] millet", which is not the kind of settlement at the end of the year, but the kind of advance payment!
It's just that some people in Weiguo couldn't understand Confucius and frequently complained in front of the monarch, so Confucius yo-yoed when he saw the situation was not good, and only stayed in Weiguo for ten months.

Well, I stole the wool of the feudal lord for ten months, and went whoring for two months when I left!

In later generations, people often think that Confucius' experience of starvation in Chen and Cai is 'normal', but in fact these things are abnormal and not common.

Most of the time when Confucius traveled around the world, he lived above the temples, enjoying leisurely travels and having ample food and clothing.

For example, the "Analects of Confucius" records Confucius' daily life: the original thought is the slaughter, and the millet is nine hundred, and the speech.Confucius said: No!So it's almost like a township party with your neighbors!

Yuan Xian was Confucius' housekeeper, and Confucius gave him nine hundred millet as a reward. Yuan Xian was probably a single dog who fed the whole family by himself. He felt that Confucius gave too much and couldn't finish it.

So Confucius said: Take it if you are told, and share it with the people in your hometown if you can't finish it!
Look at the face of this big dog!

After all, he is a person with an annual income of [-] yuan, so if [-] yuan falls on the ground, he may not bother to pick it up!

Mencius, the sub-sage of Confucianism, lived a more comfortable life than his patriarch.

Although Mencius was a scoundrel, he had successively attacked King Xiang of Liang (he didn’t look like a king); Also); King Xuan of Qi (Wang Gu said about him); Yang Zhu, Mozi (no father, no king, he is a beast)...

But in other countries, they enjoy the treatment of "Qing Dafu".

However, Mencius's theory of "the people are more important than the emperor" is not acceptable, not to mention those people in the Warring States Period who are rich and prosperous, and even Zhu Chongba, who started a bowl in the later generations, threw him out of the Confucian Temple...

In contrast, Fusu sometimes reads the Analects of Confucius and thinks that Confucius is actually a very lovely person.

He felt that if Confucius was still alive, he could give the old master an annual salary of 12 millet and let him stay in Xianyang to work for himself.

This is mainly because Confucius was a trend-setter in the era who was good at "turning left and turning right, carrying the red flag against the red flag".

In the age of Confucius, the most valuable monopoly resource was knowledge monopoly.

Whether it was the Shang Dynasty before, or the Western Zhou Dynasty and Spring and Autumn Period after that, most of the time 'learning' this kind of thing was only limited to the nobles, that is, learning in the government.

Confucius, the pioneer of private education, dedicated his life to teaching without distinction.

Among the three thousand disciples of Confucianism, the Legalist lineage who slashed a street in the Warring States Period came from Zixia, one of the ten philosophers, and Mo Di, who created another prominent school in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, is said to have studied in Confucianism in his early years!
Li Si and Han Fei, who had a great influence on Qin, also came from the Confucian Xunzi family.

Of course, Confucian political thought can only shout slogans, but Legalism can provide a set of highly feasible solutions.

That's why Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in later generations said: The Han family has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way, but why is it purely Confucianism and Zhou Zheng?Moreover, vulgar Confucianism is not up to date, but the past is not the present, which makes people dazzled by the name and reality, and does not know what to keep, so what is the point of appointment!

That is to say, it is fine to let Confucians be the advocates, but it is unreliable to let them do things.

While Fusu was dreaming, Jianyu arrived at the main gate of Xianyang Palace, he stepped off Jianyu, and boarded the golden root chariot in the crowd of Zhonglangs.

He sat on the spacious sofa, stretched his waist, and beat the carriage with his cane. Immediately, the convoy, escorted by thousands of cavalry wearing armor and holding strong crossbows and spears, drove towards Lanchi Palace.

When the convoy was marching on a road near Lifang, a strong man with a height of nearly ten feet and holding a chain hammer looked at the solid golden root chariot protected by the cavalry, hammered the inner wall hard, and then rushed to the place where it was not protected by the cavalry. Before people found out, they left quietly with hundreds of people in black and white sackcloth.

If there were veterans who had followed Wang Jian to attack Chu, they might be able to recognize those people in black and white sackcloth as Chu Mo, who had disappeared in the legend.

Back then, this group of Chumo warriors fought with swords, adhering to the concept of 'non-attack', and when Wang Jian attacked Chu on a large scale, they cooperated with the Chu army to intercept the Qin army's food and grass, and assassinated the Qin generals.

Wang Jian was so annoyed, so during the confrontation between Qin and Chu, he took out air-conditioned soldiers to break into Chu Mo's lair, mopped up the mobs, and cut off Xiang Yan's hand stretched behind the Qin army.

It is this group of people that Han Fei vigorously criticizes in the book, "Xia Yiwu violates the ban".

But Fusu, who was sitting in the golden root car, knew nothing about it. He was drafting an edict to find something for those doctors who had enough to eat and had nothing to do, and let them participate in the work of sorting out the books in the palace. go.

Instead of eating all day long and sitting and talking, it is better to do something practical!
After the State of Qin issued the Narrow Book Order, private collection of books from hundreds of schools was prohibited, but they did not destroy all the collected documents, but piled them in the library of Xianyang City.

There are hundreds of schools of thought!
After Fusu went to check the materials many times, he found that these bamboo slips and silk cloth that had been piled up for a long time were on the verge of self-destruction.

Therefore, he felt that the rescue and protection of these works that had been passed down for hundreds of years must be put on the agenda!

His plan is to let these doctors sort out first, and transcribe the documents that are on the verge of being destroyed.

Wait until the sugar cane in the plantation turns into sugar in the autumn, and when he has money in his hand, he will recruit scholars from all over the world to Xianyang to recompile all the documents.

Strive to create a huge book like the Yongle Canon of later generations, which will include the works of the sages of the past dynasties since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Then find a craftsman to carve it into a woodblock, and print it in large quantities, trying to make two or three sets in every county in the world.

Well, when the time comes, hundreds of sets of limited collector's editions with numbers will be made!

The probability of losing it should be very small!

For the sake of the pilgrimage to the saints!

Well, this sentence is very good, when we call on the world's talents, we will use this sentence as an advertisement!

Fusu glanced at the edict that was about to be finished, and immediately remembered that Kong Yu said that his frequent conquests were the Daren of "the merits of the moment, the benefits of the future"...

The mouth of a Confucian scholar!

He shook his head and smiled, and wrote at the end of the edict: Dr. Kong Yu is diligent in political affairs, and ten pieces of brocade are rewarded!

In this way, the smart people in Xianyang should know what to do...

Han Fei once said that Confucianism and Mohism are the most prominent in the world.

Fusu expressed his deep understanding of this. Later generations often say that a hundred schools of thought contend. In fact, schools like Legalism and Military Strategies were mostly summed up in the Han Dynasty.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only Confucianism and Mohism had names, and the others were a famous scholar and his disciples.

Hence the theory of a hundred schools of thought.

ps: Thank you for the monthly tickets of 'Doubi Mozhisuke' and 'Longdiao Fengzui A Pit'! (`) than heart
pps: Don't argue about brocade!
