Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 351 Jixia Academy
Fusu understood a little bit, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose to make salt and iron official, and all subsequent dynasties, without exception, pursued this policy and severely cracked down on private salt.

Not only because the salt and iron business has huge profits, but these two items are actually closely related to the country's major policies.

Without salt, people will be weak and suffer from edema. Although ironware is not widely used at this time, in the future, iron will replace bronze and run rampant all over the world.

Once such items are monopolized by private individuals, the result will undoubtedly be terrible.For the country, it is also a huge hidden danger.

However, to completely eradicate the private operation of salt and iron, not only the government must formulate and implement relevant laws and regulations, but more importantly, technological progress.

Marx said that if there is a 50.00% profit, capitalists will dare to take risks; if there is a [-]% profit, capital will dare to flout the law; sell.

Although in this world before BC, capital had not even sprouted, and the landlord class should still be a new class, representing advanced productive forces, but the reason is the same.

The profit of selling salt is more than [-]%, five hundred coins per bucket of salt, this price is more than ten times higher than the price of salt in other places.

Such a profit can already drive a person to do any insane thing in this world!

Thinking like this, Fusu and his party have already arrived in Linzi.

In this era, Linzi was a large city with a large population. Only Xianyang, Anyi, and Daliang can match it today.

During the Warring States period, Qi State was also the leading big country. Even after the reform of Qin State, Qi State had been side by side with Qin State for a long time.

It's just that the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, but it seriously injured Qi's vitality. Since then, it has been devastated and reduced to a second-class country.

Among the vassal states, there is only one Zhao State that barely competes with Qin State.

Even so, the prosperity of Linzi today is still the same as before, and it is still a metropolis with a population of 50 million.

In this world before BC, the population of a city can reach 50 million, which is already an extremely terrifying number.

But Fusu entered Linzi in plain clothes. At this time, he revealed his identity. Fusu thought it was useless. Fusu, who had a folk trip, knew very well that in the old place of the six kingdoms in Shandong, the control of Qindi was very tight. weak.

On the contrary, if you enter Linzi with great fanfare, it will make some people vigilant, and it is even more likely that your every move will be watched by others. At that time, you will be extremely passive.

Fusu would never tolerate such a situation when he was in the open and the enemy was hiding in the dark. It was too dangerous!
Coming to Linzi, Fusu was not in a hurry to find Zhang Liang.

Trying to find a person from a city with a population of 50 million people is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. If this person wants to hide, it is even more difficult to find him.

When Fusu came to Linzi, the first thing he went to was Jimen, and the most famous of Jimen was Jixia Academy.

Today's Jixia Academy is no longer as prosperous and prosperous as it was in the past. With the departure of the last master of Jixia Academy, Xunzi, and the start of Qin's annexation of the world, Jixia Academy has completely declined.

Speaking of which, whether Xunzi is classified as the Huang-Lao school or the Confucian school has always been controversial.The reason is that Xunzi's thoughts are mixed with too many Huang-Lao thoughts, with a very strong Huang-Lao color.

Therefore, Xunzi has been excluded from the Confucian orthodoxy for thousands of years. It is believed that Xunzi deviated from the way of Confucius and Mencius, and went into a heresy.

Xunzi's thoughts on etiquette and law were created by absorbing the thoughts of Huang-Lao School.

Therefore, among the three disciples taught by Xunzi in the end, Han Feizi was a master of Legalism, and Li Si was a staunch supporter of Legalism.

And Zhang Cang, as the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, governed with Huang Lao's thoughts, successfully laid a solid foundation for the rule of Wenjing.

The so-called Legalism is also believed by many people to be inherited from Confucianism. In fact, Legalism is the fruit of Huang-Lao Thought and Confucianism. Influence a little more.

In his own works, Han Fei specially wrote two articles "Jie Lao" and "Yu Lao". Disrupt the law with literature, and violate the ban with martial arts.

It can be seen that Han Fei's attitude towards the two.

Jixia Academy was founded in the early days of King Qiwei, and it was the product of King Qiwei’s reform. The original function of Jixia Academy was to defend and demonstrate the rationality of Qi Guotian’s replacement of Jiang’s, so as to consolidate its dominance.

For this reason, the royal family of Qi spared no effort to invest a large amount of money in Jixia Academy, which attracted scholars from all over the world to come here. The scholars argued with each other, questioned each other, absorbed each other's knowledge and ideas, and promoted the world's academics. quarreling among each other.

In the end, a situation of contention among a hundred schools of thought was formed, which became a rare and spectacular spectacle in the history of Chinese culture.

In its heyday, the Jixia Academy included almost every school and faction among hundreds of philosophers, and the number of sages from all over the world was as many as a thousand. Age, qualifications, etc., are all allowed to express their own academic opinions.

Thinking of these, Fusu is also a little fascinated, but such a cultural scene no longer exists, which also makes Fusu feel rather regretful.

All of a sudden, Fusu's heart moved. What Qi State did back then, Da Qin might not be unable to do it. The people of the six Shandong countries have a very weak sense of belonging to Qin State.

If the Jixia Academy can be restored to the level of its heyday, then it is absolutely possible to have these scholars at that time discuss and demonstrate in the Jixia Academy, seek legitimacy for Qin to unify the world, and even propose a great unification The concept is also an excellent move.

Fusu knows very well that in the old places of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, the ten sentences spoken by Qin Ting may not be able to match the knowledge of these scholars. In one word, the existence of Jixia Academy will mean the influence of Great Qin in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong will be greatly enhanced.

The future state policy and strategy can also be discussed by these sages in the world, and then the best plan can be selected as the national policy to prevent the country from going astray.
