Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

Major events in the world are divided and combined.

After hundreds of years, a scholar can see clearly, and after thousands of years, an ordinary person can see clearly.

But this is the early Han Dynasty.

It was the end of Qin when the order of the Warring States Period had just collapsed...

Even though he was over sixty years old, Li Shiqi, one of the smartest people in this era, just looked confused.

What does it have to do with the princes if it is difficult for the people to live in peace?

Isn't it because the King of Qin was too ambitious and tried to annex other countries that the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits?

Li Shiqi looked at Zhang Liang, waiting for the next words.

The smile on Zhang Liang's face did not diminish. Before coming, he had already thought about how to persuade Li Shiqi to stop the idea of ​​enfeoffment.

"Mr. Li, I want to ask you a question."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Tell me, in this world, is it more likely for a person to be ambitious, or for a group of people to be ambitious?"

"Of course it's a group of people."

Li Shiqi didn't want to answer directly.

As soon as he finished answering, his pupils shrank, as if he understood something, and he lowered his head and began to think deeply.

Zhang Liang watched without saying anything, just waiting for Li Shiqi to understand on his own.

Is the feudal monarchy backward?

Naturally, it is backward.

But compared to the King's chess game, where we conquer each other, the Warring States Period in which your family sings and I appear is much more advanced.

As an example.

During the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, there were male lords and faint kings. The descendants of the faint kings might be male lords, and the descendants of the male lords might be faint kings. This quagmire of intertwined relationships made the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period peaceful for a few years.

For a piece of He's Bi, some people can cut off a city and give it away, but they don't think about whether the citizens will be discriminated against and bullied.

For the sake of a beauty, some people can raise troops to conquer her, regardless of the consequences.

Common people? Peace? Human life?

joke!

Are people's fortunes also told? The life of the noble is life!

Throughout the Warring States period, there were many examples of nobles from defeated countries being captured, but having good food and drink, and being redeemed with gold and silver from the city, they continued to raise troops to conquer.

They call this a battle between gentlemen that ends with a gentleman.

Fighting in a pot of hodgepodge, how advanced is this!

It is simply more outrageous than the imperial system.

At least during the imperial period, some wise and benevolent kings were born and could create peace and happiness, allowing the people to live a good life for several generations and live like individuals instead of the king's private property...

Over there, Li Shiqi looked at Zhang Liang with complicated eyes.

"I understand what you mean, sir, but if Qiang Qin reappears..."

Li Shiqi figured it out, but couldn't accept it.

He was afraid that the next violent Qin would be born who would cut off people's hands and feet at every turn.

Criminals are despicable, but some people are not so sinful...

"Mr. Li, do you believe me?"

Li Shiqi hesitated, but nodded.

Their opinions refuted, but it did not prevent him from admiring Zhang Liang, a young man.

"Mr. Li knows that there is a person named Bai Shu in this world."

Li Shiqi was deep in thought and raised his head in astonishment.

"Wu'an Lord Bai Qi's daughter, Bai Shu?"

"What does it have to do with her?"

Lord Wu'an has been dead for many years, but his name is still the most popular among the several Lords of Wu'an. Under this shadow, Bai Shu naturally stands out, especially because King Qin destroyed South Korea because of a trivial matter. After Bai Shu was demoted from the court, his name spread widely.

This time when Fusu came to the throne, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had no reason to rebel. They also pulled out Bai Shu's flag and used it as one of the reasons for rebellion. They said that the King of Qin treated his heroes harshly, so he rebelled.

Zhang Liang smiled leisurely.

"What Duke Li didn't know was that Bai Shu was not tolerated by the King of Qin, so she lived among the people and founded a sect."

"faction?"

"Yes, the name of this sect is Datong!"

Datong is a concept proposed and promoted by Confucianism, which can be traced back to 300 BC, that is, 80 to 90 years ago.

In later times, this was a fantasy promoted by scholars.

But now, Confucianism is only one of the hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. It has not yet been promoted to the lofty temples by the emperors of the Han Dynasty and has become the benchmark for hundreds of schools of thought. It has even led to the emergence of people like Wang Mang.

Without the blessing of influence, Zhang Liang said Datong, only to get another blank face.

"May I ask, sir, what is Datong?"

"Datong means that the world is for the common good!"

"The world is for the common good?"

Li Shiqi chewed these four words and felt something burning in his body.

He looked at Zhang Liang, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, the world is for the common good. It selects the worthy and the capable, maintains trust and cultivates harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their own relatives, and do not regard their children as their children. The old will die, the strong will be useful, the young will have their own achievements, and they will be modest, widowed, lonely, Those who are alone, disabled, and sick all have something to support them... Therefore, they seek to be closed but not prosperous, they do not commit robberies, and they are not closed to the outside world. This is called great harmony!"

After hearing this, Li Shiqi's face turned redder than candlelight.

"Sir, this... what an ambition!"

Li Shiqi's voice trembled.

He was tired of ambition, but the ambition of being alone in Datong made Li Shiqi hate him.

What a beautiful world it was, just the description in words is enough to make people intoxicated.

Zhang Liang looked at the confusion in Li Shiqi's eyes and remained silent.

He knew very well that the concept of Datong was very attractive to the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment, let alone those who came from the Warring States Period. Not to mention the Datong society, which promised to keep people well fed, could still attract people in such an era. A group of people rebelled!

"Sir, where is Bai Shu's descendant?"

Li Shiqi grabbed Zhang Liang.

"Since Datong is the school that established it, in these troubled times, Datong should not remain unknown!"

"Of course it's there."

Zhang Liang said.

"Do you still remember the woman who followed me today?"

Li Shiqi nodded: "Could it be?"

"Yes, that person is the descendant of the Datong School. She followed me to prevent the Warring States from reappearing in the world."

Zhang Liang's tone was submissive.

"Mr. Li, you also know that the Great Tong Prosperity is difficult to achieve in this era, but even if it is difficult to make progress, you and I should not bring the people back to the Warring States on this trip, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes!"

Li Shiqi was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

There is such a school working hard for Datong and such a prosperous era, how can he let the world return to the Warring States!

Time passed by, and the small room with candlelight finally opened.

Zhang Liang walked out first, and he bowed to Li Shiqi.

"Mr. Li, this is settled. No matter what, you and I should follow the times and not pull the people back to the Warring States."

"Of course!"

Li Shiqi's eyes were fanatical. He hesitated and asked.

"Sir, I wonder if I can meet Bai Shu from the Datong School tomorrow."

"Of course I can."

Zhang Liang said with shame.

After a lot of deception, he tied the name Bai Shu to the saint, and established a school from scratch. Li Shiqi has firmly believed that in addition to him, Zhang Liang, and Bai Shu who just joined, there is another huge school hidden in the dark, ready to go.

"Mr. Li, please have a rest early. Goodbye."

Zhang Liang turned and left.

Li Shiqi looked at the bright moon and returned to the house holding the half-burned candlestick.

The old wife was awakened by the hazy candlelight.

Muttered casually: "What are you talking about? You just came back now, don't you see how old you are?"

Li Shiqi heard this and his white eyebrows stood up.

"I am working hard for the Datong era!" He whispered.

"What are you crazy about in the middle of the night..."

The old woman turned over...
