back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 265 Ribbon Cutting

Chapter 265 Ribbon Cutting

Lu Chengqi also knew that in the era without electricity and without loudspeakers, it was very difficult to speak in public.Holding this gold-plated speaker is nothing more than a psychological effect, increasing the diffusion of sound.To be able to really hear Lu Chengqi's speech clearly with his own ears, I am afraid that the people below the platform are only two or three hundred people, which is too much to say.

Lu Chengqi's intentions were obviously not here.Little did he know, he had already asked the Supervision Department to invite reporters from various newspaper offices in Chang'an City (in this era they were called collectors) to the middle of the platform to ensure that they could hear what Lu Chengqi said clearly.After listening to these folk songs, they reported back to the agency to write articles.Thanks to the efficient movable type printing, a four-page newspaper could be delivered to the people of Chang'an City on the second day, and then Chang'an City became a radiation circle, spreading from all sides.At that time, Chidao's name, combined with a few hand-drawn sketches, could be famous all over the world.

After getting on the platform, which was more than two meters high, Lu Chengqi looked around and found that the people and forbidden troops around him were no less than tens of thousands.It is also at this time that the land is vast and the population is sparse, so there is such a grand occasion.If it is in later generations, how many modern stadiums can hold it!

After feeling a lot of emotion, Lu Chengqi's nervous and excited heart slowly calmed down.With many experiences, Lu Chengqi no longer felt cramped in his initial speech.Clearing his throat, Lu Chengqi said, "I am the Emperor of Dashun. According to the teachings of various schools of Confucianism, these so-called miraculous skills are not worth admiring. But what I read is the ancient sage books. From the lines, I read I have never found any words that belittle these miraculous skills. On the contrary, if there is no Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs, where would the theory of five grains come from? If there were no Leizu's first silkworm, where would the silk and satin you and I wear today come from? Since ancient times, it has been able to develop day by day, thanks to ingenious skills and ingenuity. Why do I value craftsmen? Why set up a science and technology award? It all comes from this idea.

The Khitans are stronger than us, and better at equestrian than us, and we Han people can't keep up with us in riding and shooting.This is their advantage and our disadvantage.But we Han people are the smartest.The city and the defense equipment we invented made the Khitan cavalry look at the city and sigh, helpless.

But no matter how strong the city is, it will be broken one day.If we Han people put our own safety and the safety of the nation on the city and don't think about making progress, then I dare say that the Khitan people will become stronger and stronger, while my Dashun will be dwarfed by comparison and eventually defeated.I also hope that this is not true, but the development of history is like this.At the time of the Wuhu chaos in China, who could have imagined that the Hu people could almost kill all the Han people?Speaking of the Qin Dynasty, it was nothing more than building the Great Wall to resist the Huns!

Mencius said, to live in sorrow and die in peace, the words of Yasheng are the most reasonable in the world.Living in peace and not thinking of danger, the disaster is close at hand.We, the Han, occupy the great rivers and mountains, and enrich the Central Plains. This is the reason for the jealousy of the Hu people, and it is also the root of the struggle between the Han and Hu people.Even after hundreds of years, such killings will still happen.The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable.As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but a woman is guilty.I, the Han, are the man with Heshibi, and the Hu people have been coveting my land in the Central Plains.

The armed forces of the Hu people are constantly increasing, but our Han people are unsuspecting. How can we resist the vicious wolves?
I admit that a few Han people are no match for the Hu people when compared to the strength of a single soldier.But we Han people are superior in having a large number of people, and we are superior in being smart, and this is our greatest reliance.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already proved to the world that if the Han people were united, they would not be afraid of any enemy.The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Jie, Qiang, Di, Turkic, and now the Khitan are all wolves with ambitions and want to occupy the land under our feet.Without him, the living environment on the grassland is harsh, and it is natural for them to yearn for our Central Plains.

But we Han people, if we don't work hard and don't unite, we may be driven out of the Central Plains by them.This is not my alarmist talk, nor is it my fabrication of history.Wu Huanhua has already reminded all Han people.No nation can live comfortably and enjoy life.If you want to occupy a good land, you must make yourself strong.I have always firmly believed in one truth, between countries, between nations and nations, it is entirely based on strength.

I, the people of Dashun, have always been based on agriculture, so naturally I can't compare with the barbarians on the grassland.But the intelligence of our Han people can make up for all this.We have countless great talents, countless skilled craftsmen, and invented all kinds of sharp tools.If I can study it in depth, I firmly believe that the barbarians on the grassland would not dare to invade the Central Plains south.Even one day, we will fight over!

Having said so much, I just want to tell all the people of Dashun, including court officials, including those who failed to win the first place, scholars, don’t let your so-called natural pride belittle the people who have made great contributions to the development of the Han people. contribution of artisans.Without these skilled craftsmen, it is still unknown whether the Han people could occupy this wonderful Central Plains at this moment.

Confucianism says that the benevolent loves others, why not?I think this is a kind of fraternity, that is, I love all the people of Dashun who obey the law.Because I respect every Dashun citizen, they contribute to the development of Dashun through their own efforts.I always believe that there is no difference between high and low in 360 lines.Scholars are just more knowledgeable than farmers.When it comes to farming, most scholars are not as good as farmers.There are specializations in the art industry, but today's Dashun industry is more than 360 lines?

Perhaps hearing this, some scholars have already secretly scolded me for belittling scholars in their hearts.Then you are wrong, belittling others and exalting yourself will always be high-spirited.The reason why scholars are respected is entirely because they know books and rituals and respect others first.

If scholars do not respect other professions, the common people will not respect you either.I think it's a complementary thing.You scholars now think that this way is a waste of people and money, that I exalt craftsmen and belittle scholars.But I think that Chidao must be created!
First, Chidao can improve Dashun's iron-smelting technology.As we all know, the quality of a weapon depends on the quality of iron.When the quality of the iron is good, the weapon will cut the iron like mud.Why do I waste money and build roads?Iron smelting technology is the main reason.

Second, the efficiency of Chidao.An ordinary horse-drawn carriage can travel hundreds of miles a day, and it should not carry too much weight, otherwise the horses will not be able to bear it.But with the galloping road, when passing the main platform, you can travel at least [-] miles a day without changing horses!If a war breaks out, our Dashun army can respond quickly, so naturally we will not be afraid of the Hu people invading south.

Thirdly, I don't intend to attribute Chidao entirely to military use. On the contrary, I pay more attention to the commercial value of Chidao.I wasted money and money to build roads, so I naturally wanted to make things easier for the people.From now on, all businessmen and merchants can try to ride the horse-drawn carriage.When De Chidao is officially open for business, a carriage full of goods will only be charged ten pennies.Of course, the fodder money for the horses has to be paid by oneself.This carriage is also owned by the imperial court, no one can build a galloping carriage privately, otherwise they will be punished severely.

Fourth, I want to build a road in Chang'an City to connect with this road.At that time, only three copper coins are needed to take a horse-drawn carriage in Chang'an City, and a station is set up halfway, and you can get off at the station.If you go out of the city, you have to add money.

Here, I promise to all the people of Dashun that Chidao will not be used for military purposes unless it is an emergency war!In the future, I will set up a special "Chi Dao Law" to protect the interests of Chi Dao.At the same time, set up the Chi Road Department, which is directly under the management of the Household Department, accepts the supervision of the Supervision Department, is responsible for its own profits and losses, and lays Chi Roads by itself.

Alright, I've finished what I want to say. "

Having said so much, in fact, he just memorized the manuscript, Lu Chengqi put down the gold-plated horn, and heaved a sigh of relief.
