The six countries sent me as a spy, and the contact person was Qin Shihuang

Chapter 252 What is an all-round Taifu?

"But the Grand Master doesn't know, they just want to use this to suppress us!" Fusu said, "If we don't completely defeat them and replace their old ideas with our new ideas, how can Da Qin influence people's hearts?"

Jiang Bai looked at this silly boy with pity.

I've been teaching you for so long in vain.

Hu Hai quickly asked for advice: "The teacher has never said it systematically. Now, hasn't Master Zou arrived in Xianyang? I believe that the collision of old and new ideas is just around the corner. If the teacher didn't teach, my brother would be busy with so many things all day long, and he is still so young. , how can you understand everything?"

My brother is a good boy!

Fusu sighed inwardly.

Jiang Bai simply gathered everyone together, especially the girls.

They were the most fiercely opposed to some of the ideas of the Warring States Period.

This is not good, and overall a bit extreme.

"What is the fundamental theory of the Five Virtues? It is the right of cultural interpretation, and it is the recognition and interpretation of an emerging power-controlled collective," Professor Jiang Bai got straight to the point. "The superficial explanation of this theory seems to be just an interpretation of a power. The collective replaces the legitimate power of the original ruling group and integrates this doctrine with a country, thereby providing a reasonable excuse for the rise and fall of power."

Everyone can understand this.

But isn’t this a wrong idea?

"I don't understand the theories of Yin Yang, Five Elements, and even the innate Zhouyi, but I agree with some simple principles and think they should be carried forward." Jiang Bai said that in an era of low productivity, a theory must be used to make everyone Accept and believe that this is a manifestation of cohesion.

"The theory of the Five Virtues at the End of the World happened to appear at this time. It uses the theory of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint to package an extremely complicated truth. This is conducive to the acceptance of most people. Therefore, this idea is good and right. You We cannot fundamentally deny the results of our predecessors' exploration of the world and people's hearts." Jiang Bai said, "Recognize him first. We have achieved this step. Da Qin replaced the Zhou royal family with Shui De, which is now generally accepted by people in the world. One explanation is that we cannot act against the human heart.”

"But isn't this interpretation right in the hands of Zou Yan and the others?" Yan Lingji was not willing to accept other people's ideas.

She believes that Jiang Bai uses the relationship between productivity and means of production to explain the change of power, which is more clear than the theory of the beginning and end of the Five Virtues.

Jiang Bai asked her a question: "What is your education level... No, what is your cognitive level? What is the cognitive level of others?"

Oh, then you understand.

"We should understand what the progress of the times is about, but the cultural quality of the people is generally low. You can't force them to accept this statement fundamentally like us. You have to give the people some time and space." Jiang Bai said, "And it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Five Virtues theory can be used by us. If you fundamentally deny this idea, it is equivalent to breaking the cultural foundation accepted by the people and going against them. So how can you accomplish this?"

Ying Zheng was squatting outside the wall, and he was very pleased with what he heard.

The Taifu always considers the current conditions and the future solutions.

But Wu De always said that if it cannot be replaced by a new idea, the right to speak and interpret culture lies in the hands of the Yin Yangists and Confucian scholars.

This is not a good thing for Da Qin. "This is to make use of this theory, but others have developed this theory for decades or even hundreds of years. Is there any flaw for us to exploit?!" Ying Zheng was not confident.

Fight, I can kill everyone in the world.

But if it makes sense, then there is nothing I can do.

Jiang Bai waited for everyone to calm down and then continued to explain: "The theory of the Five Virtues at the End of the World is fundamentally about converting the current chaotic understanding of the country and the world that most people have at this stage into a concrete concept that everyone can have a vague concept of. Here comes the top. Now that this concrete image has been formed, we should let it develop and grow. If you slap it to pieces, not to mention others, even most scholars will be confused."

Now everyone understands that we need to understand the theory of the beginning and end of the five virtues and make good use of this theory for our use.

"How to use it? People just watch us take advantage of it?" Zhao Ji curled her lips.

"Which of the thoughts we have now are more comprehensive?" Jiang Bai asked.

Everyone was puzzled.

Yingying thought for a moment before saying: "Is it the relationship between commerce and agriculture?"

"That's right!" Jiang Bai said, "I have said that Da Qin will not be stable without farmers, it will not be strong without workers, it will not be rich without merchants, it will not be established without an army, and it will not last long without education.' This means that agriculture, industry, commerce, and soldiers are all indispensable. . And the Five Virtues are just five, what if they correspond to the basics of these five Great Qin?"

Ying Zheng slapped his forehead, and a term came to his mind.

Borrow the chicken to lay the egg!

"I call this kind of replacement a cover-up!" Jiang Bai sighed, "We don't want to reform an idea that is generally accepted by the people, but we want to fundamentally overthrow it. This is not a pragmatic approach, let alone for A responsible approach for generations to come.”

"Husband, I'm stupid, tell me straight away!" Miss Li said coquettishly.

Jiang Bai's face darkened, and he slapped his hand before saying: "Don't you understand enough? The Five Virtues theory believes that a country, or in the future may be an emperor, is responsible for the 'virtues' of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. And instead of the previous dynasty that were in conflict with each other, it is the 'great virtuous king' who has the destiny destined to him! Then why don't we change this saying and simply let one dynasty or one emperor possess all the five elements of great virtue?"

Before everyone could be surprised, he immediately explained: "The five elements of virtue we are talking about are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in appearance, but in essence they are agriculture, industry, commerce, and military. For example, the current emperor attaches great importance to agriculture, develops industry and commerce, and builds a new military structure of the Qin Dynasty. , transformed hundreds of schools of thought, and achieved considerable success. What is this called? This is called having the Five Elements of Virtue. If he does not become the emperor, if he does not lead the Qin Dynasty to unify the world, God will not agree. Now I understand Alright?"

"Understood," Yan Lingji said immediately, "that is to say, the emperor can only be the co-lord of the world to which he is destined by destiny if he possesses the five virtues and develops them well. The lack of any one of them does not count, right?"

"Yes, in this case, what can those who constrain or even hinder the rapid development of the Qin Dynasty with the Five Virtues Theory? Do they dare to openly oppose all walks of life? They have no choice but to deny the doctrine they have adhered to for hundreds of years. In this way, It is they, not us, who create chaos, or even cause chaos themselves!" Jiang Bai would wave his hand, "If you understand, get out of here. If you don't understand, copy the article that Wude Zhongshi said [-] times."

Ying Zheng slapped his butt and ran back to his bedroom.

I understand, I don’t need to copy the article.

However, the Taifu is too powerful. How come he knows everything and is so proficient in everything?
