Chapter 507: One emperor through the ages?Tian Khan?That's it?

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, he thought to himself: "Because they have been absorbing the essence of our Chinese civilization to nourish their own civilization, they have developed so fast, almost one year is equivalent to the accumulation of our ancestors for hundreds of years! "

"This rapid development of civilization is what I call 'Great Leap Forward Development'!"
“This is a form of rapid development formed by lower civilizations absorbing superior civilizations.

The development process of a civilization is not smooth sailing. Because there is no reference, every decision it makes is to cross the river by feeling the stones. You never know whether the next step will be a smooth road or an abyss.

Constant probing, constant trying, stumbling forward amid failure and repeated trial and error! "

Li Shimin's eyes were full of shock. He had never looked at this problem from this perspective, but as an emperor, he still understood it deeply.

Because every decision made by the court was made with great caution, fearing that a wrong decree would lead to ruin and deprivation of life for the people.

But even with such caution, various mistakes cannot be avoided.

Most of the time, I do it first, and then make adjustments after discovering problems, step by step, like an abyss!

Crossing the river by feeling for the stones, this sentence spoke to his heart, it was so insightful.

Ji Song ignored Li Shimin and continued: "It wasn't until words appeared that everyone was asked to check whether their predecessors had done it before making a decision. If so, what effect would it have, what kind of impact would it have, etc. You know it well.”

"If not, it will be troublesome. You can only test it step by step and carefully."

“However, those countries or tribes that are not highly civilized or even have no civilization are different.

Because they find themselves surrounded by highly civilized peoples and countries, and this is what they imitate. "

When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed.

In this land, is there any country more civilized than the Tang Dynasty?No, he can say this to any nation or country.

As the emperor of this civilized country, he is extremely proud.

But Ji Song's next words knocked him into the dust!

"So, they began to learn that in the development of civilization over a long period of time, there are not only the best, but also a lot of dross."

"But this is not a problem for those learners, because we have helped them trial and error, and they just need to pick up the essence of our civilization and discard the dross."

"How long will it take for them to absorb the essence of this civilization?"

Li Shimin was sweating coldly. He thought of the consequences, very serious consequences.

Because people don’t need to go through a long period of development, they just need to absorb the essence of this civilization, and they don’t need the rest.

For example, only things related to war, food cultivation, and tools are all things that can greatly enhance the strength of the country.

As for poetry and songs?

Ha ha!

Do people need it?

As long as you can kill people, it's okay, and if you can't get anything else, just grab it.

Ji Song looked at Li Shimin and said seriously: "I have said so much. Your Majesty must know the purpose of my going."

Without waiting for his answer, he said: "Yes, I just went to study and bring back the essence of other civilizations.

If high-yield species can stabilize a country and increase the population, what I want to learn is wisdom, the essence of wisdom of a civilization. This is the real treasure! "

Ji Song's eyes were shining when he said this. If he could bring all the good things of the Mayan civilization back to the Tang Dynasty, and even realize exchanges, he couldn't believe what kind of changes would happen to the Tang Dynasty?
It must not be inferior to any prosperous times, right?
Ji Song yearned.

Li Shimin was stunned. He opened his mouth wide. He really didn't know what to say.I am still worried about the livelihood of the people in this country, but this kid has already started to think so far?

No, I can't be surprised, let alone show an exaggerated expression, otherwise I will be embarrassed.

What Li Shimin was thinking about at this time was not the role that the essence of civilization would play in the Tang Dynasty after being brought back, but whether it would be a shame or not?

If Ji Song knew the emperor's thoughts, he would spit in his face.

God Khan?
An ancient emperor?
That's it?

"Okay, let's stop here today. As for your request, I will consider it."

"Don't send it away."

After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Ji Songhe a chance.

Standing there, Ji Song was in a daze.

He was talking about getting up, but you didn't listen. What's going on?

I can't understand it, I really can't understand it.

Li Shimin asked someone to call the queen, while he walked on Jijiazhuangzi.

Seeing the peace and prosperity that was completely different from other places, he seemed to understand what Ji Song had just said.

He interrupted Ji Song's words, not because he didn't want to listen, but because these words had made him a little confused.

Since ancient times, emperors of all dynasties have always regarded stability as their highest goal and continuation of their dynasty as their primary task. As for the people?

Oh, as long as you can eat enough and don't make trouble, civilization develops?what is that?
Because it was so inconsistent with the values ​​he had been taught since childhood, he didn't know whether it was right or not, so the more he listened, the more irritated and even angry he became.

But seeing the wealth and peace in Zhuangzi, he understood something.

Just like a very backward tribe, a leader with a little wisdom and the wisdom of absorbing advanced foreign civilizations can create a powerful surrounding tribe or even country in a short time.

With a little foresight, emphasis on education, and work with the people, perhaps in a few generations, this tribe will form its own civilization.

If you are lucky enough, it won't take long for you to become a strong country again.

He thought of Goguryeo. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the world was in chaos. Foreign tribes marched southward to the Central Plains, resulting in raging wars in the Central Plains. Many people took refuge in Liaodong and other places.

The arrival of the people from the Central Plains brought the advanced civilization of the Central Plains to Liaodong, which was still very backward at that time. Therefore, in just a few hundred years, a small dependent country gave as big a 'surprise' as the former Sui Dynasty.

There were also Turks who plundered a large number of skilled craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters and many other people who were useful to them.

Then he used the armor, scimitars, and arrows made by these people to continue the cycle.

Jijia Zhuangzi is an example of this. The family that could have been disintegrated at any time has now become the leading noble family in the Tang Dynasty due to the arrival of the magical young man Ji Song.

If it weren't for Ji Song, this Zhuangzi might still be the Jiangjia'ao who couldn't have enough to eat!
Teaching, reading, educating people, academy.

He saw what he cared about most from all the traces of Ji Song.

Education, if you look deeply, it is inheritance, and if it is further extended, it is civilization.

He understood that what Ji Song wanted was not wealth, nor the fame and fortune that would come from success, but the civilized wisdom that could make a nation strong and prosperous quickly.

If there really are survivors of the Yin Shang there, then after 2000 years of development, what kind of cultural feast will break out when civilizations with the same origin meet again?
