Chapter 918 Zhang Liang cultivates immortality
"Huh, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is not that easy to be a master!" Liu Xu sighed after seeing the big man finally getting on the track according to his own wishes and finishing his work.

I believe everyone has noticed that many of the previous miracles were all created by Liu Xu himself, whether it was the Eye of Heaven, God of Heaven, or the three Holy Orders, so that he finally forced Qin Mo to ascend to the throne. , all in order to allow the entire Han Dynasty to follow its own wishes and follow a completely different trajectory from history.

Now the entire earth is empty except for the area around China. But the problem is that there are many enemies around the Han Dynasty, so if the Han Dynasty develops normally, it will definitely still be limited to this small area. Within, the surrounding empty land may become the territory of the Huns and South Vietnamese.

What's worse is that once the Han Dynasty becomes a culture dominated by Confucianism, the entire Han Dynasty will prioritize stability and naturally lose the will to expand outward.

In fact, it is ridiculous to say that in the prosperous times dominated by Confucian culture, China basically did not expand to the outside world. Starting from the Han Dynasty, the southern region was forced to migrate to the south due to the Five Husties' chaos, and a large number of northerners were forced to migrate to the south. The land in the south was included in the Chinese civilization circle.

Yunnan, Guizhou and other places farther south were brought under control by the Ming Dynasty because of the Mongol invasion and the Dali Kingdom. Otherwise, during the Song Dynasty, the line of rule would have stopped at Quanzhou.

Ahem, I won’t go into detail on this. Let’s get back to the topic. Anyway, if the Han Dynasty develops normally, those lands will definitely become the territory of the Huns and other southern monkeys in a few hundred years. The Han Dynasty will most likely still be restricted to China. The area cannot be moved.

It's not that Liu Xu discriminates against people of other races and cannot see them occupying those empty lands, but that these people's level of civilization is not high, and now those empty lands are all covered with mountains, forests and trees. If they go, that is Returning to the tribal form, without thousands of years of development, it is impossible to build a large-scale civilization, let alone create a population of 60 billion according to Liu Xu's hope.

Therefore, these lands must and can only be developed by China. So how to break through the blockade of these alien races?
Liu Xu was not worried about not being able to win the war, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would soon prove that it was as easy to beat the Huns as to beat his son. The real trouble lay in the problems of logistics and supplies, in transportation, in population migration, and in all kinds of problems. The problem of large-scale infrastructure construction.

To put it bluntly, with the current level of science and technology of the Han Dynasty, even if the Huns did not block the way, it would probably take about 800 years to build the European continent into a second China, and it would only be possible by moving the population a little bit. Finish.

And if you want to allow the Han Dynasty to go to these lands to establish rule in a short period of time, the only possibility is to let the Han Dynasty enter industrialization, advance the industrial era, and use super killer weapons such as steam engines, railways, and mature obstetrics technology. , and then they can expand outward little by little, allowing the Han population to spread all over the earth.

So is it possible to industrialize Dahan in a short period of time?

Some people may think that this is impossible without taking thousands of years, but in fact, at most 100 years is enough.

As I said before, the level of civilization in the West when it entered the Renaissance was simply inferior to that of the Han Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the level of civilization in the West at this time was not as good as that of the Han Dynasty.

The Renaissance started from the 14th to the 16th century. At this time, it was more about the accumulation of some literary and artistic theories. There were not many people who were actually engaged in science and technology. By the 16th century, it was about the same level as the civilization of the Tang Dynasty.

Industrialization began in the 18th century, and there was a gap of 200 years. During these 200 years, the entire West completed the basic structure of the entire industrial system, as well as the basic research of modern physics, chemistry, and mathematics. And so on, ultimately promoting the progress of the entire industrialization.So as a smarter Chinese, it should be very reasonable to spend 100 years to promote industrialization, not to mention that Liu Xu also worked hard to find a way to push Qin Mo to the top, and at the same time gave hundreds of The imperial decree to build a nation through engineering technology fundamentally regarded science and technology as the first development goal of the entire Han Dynasty. Liu Xu felt that he had been struggling so much, and the entire Han Dynasty's ship would definitely move forward in its own direction.

"Wait a minute, if I do this, won't it turn the Han Dynasty into a country with technological development? Then will my Qin and Han world become a technological world in the future?" Liu Xu muttered softly.

The world of science and technology is our mortal enemy, and now we are actually engaging in science and technology. This is a bit of collaboration with the enemy no matter how we look at it.

Should I also carry forward Chinese traditional culture?
Liu Xu was thinking in his mind, and suddenly his mind moved, and his eyes moved to a person consciously.

This is a man in red robes and cane shoes. At this time, he is meditating in a cloud, breathing in the clouds, and seems to be feeling something.

"This Zhang Liang...actually really wants to become an immortal!" Seeing this man's appearance, Liu Xu felt dumbfounded.It turned out that this man was Zhang Liang, who assisted Liu Bang to unify the world. After being named a Liuhou by Liu Bang, Zhang Liang completely withdrew from the court and claimed that he was mountain climbing and trying to become an immortal.

However, in the field of history, everyone agrees that Zhang Liang is just looking for an excuse to withdraw from the complicated court and get involved in any political affairs, so that he and his family can survive a new round of bloodshed in the future. .

This is actually true, but what Liu Xu didn't expect was that Zhang Liang, the remaining marquis, was not lying. He went directly to Zhongnan Mountain and built a thatched hut on it. This one of the three heroes of the Early Han Dynasty, The founding hero of the Han Dynasty was actually trying to become an immortal.

The only thing Zhang Liang did with his authority as Liu Hou was probably to put all the written books in the imperial court related to cultivating immortals, including the complete Tao Te Ching and other classics, into this small thatched cottage. I kept thinking and practicing day and night, trying to find a way to become an immortal.

"No wonder they wanted to secretly change my holy order, and the Taoists stepped in!" Liu Xu complained. He had no intention of letting Taoists enter the way of governing the country, but in the end, because of the wrong use of the word "Tao", he gave me Forcibly, Zhang Liang was changed to the Mo and Dao families.

Of course, it can also be said that Zhang Liang was not sure whether it was the Mohist family or the Mohist and Taoist families at that time. He was gambling. If he won the bet, the Taoist family would prosper. If he lost the bet, he would just die. Anyway, Zhang Liang was not afraid of death.

Now it seems that Zhang Liang won the bet.

"Then, why don't you win a little more!" Liu Xu touched his nose and thought of the worry in his heart before. So, Liu Xu waved his hand, causing the power of the world around Zhang Liang to concentrate. After continuous improvement, it has been increased to about [-] times of normal conditions, and then I looked at Zhang Liang expectantly, hoping that this three heroes of the early Han Dynasty could give me a little more surprise.
