The Ancestor Of Mankind: Starting From Being Dug Out Of Sanxingdui
Chapter 93 Refutation
Encouraged by Lin Mo's eyes, Wang An finally plucked up the courage to refute what they had said before, "I think your evaluation of Qin Shihuang is too one-sided and has erased his greater achievements than his faults."
One of the scholars immediately questioned him: "Why did Academician Wang say that?"
Wang An cleared his throat and confidently gave an example: "During the Warring States Period, after more than six hundred years of war, the people were displaced and people were uneasy. It was Qin Shihuang who unified the world, unified writing, weights and measures, and provided the foundation for the long-term stable development of society. Prerequisites.”
As soon as Wang An finished speaking, scholars started talking, and several subtle voices secretly agreed with his statement.
In the live broadcast room, although many people still believed that Qin Shihuang's faults outweighed his merits, the vast majority of people agreed with Wang An's views.
"Politically, he reformed the central and local political systems and strengthened centralization of power, which provided great convenience for subsequent people in power to manage and develop the country."
Wang An also cited examples such as Qin Shihuang's construction of canals and the promotion of economic development in the south to support his point of view.
After Wang An finished speaking, he immediately looked at Lin Mo. After hearing Wang An's words, the latter just nodded slightly in approval, but did not intend to speak. Wang An was slightly disappointed, but saw an old scholar walking out of the crowd.
The old scholar touched his chin, and after Wang An finished speaking, he couldn't wait to retort: "What Academician Wang said is indeed reasonable, but I still think Qin Shihuang's faults outweigh his merits."
Wang An nodded to him and signaled him to express his opinion: "Please tell me."
The old scholar smiled at Wang An, and then went on to give his own reasons: "You must all know the "Ode to Afang Palace" written by Du Mu, right? It describes the Qin Shi Huang's massive construction projects, extravagant spending, greed and extravagance, and built the Afang Palace into poverty. Extremely extravagant."
"According to textual research, the planned area of Afang Palace reached 5 square kilometers. Qin Shihuang used a lot of manpower to build Afang Palace in just five years." The old scholar continued.
"At the end of the original article, it is written that Xiang Yu set fire to Afang Palace, and the fire burned for three full months before it was extinguished. Such a huge scale shows how many construction workers were used? Because he wasted money for his own personal gain, and also had to pay for it. The harsh criminal laws were stipulated, which made the people at that time miserable, and then they revolted against Qin Shihuang's tyranny."
"At that time, probably no ordinary people would tell of Qin Shi Huang's great achievements in unifying the six countries and building the canal."
The old scholar smiled slightly after speaking, as if he believed that Wang An could not refute his statement.
The other scholars also thought that the old scholar was right, and nodded in unison, agreeing with the latter.
"I also feel that if I put myself in the shoes of the people of the Qin Dynasty at that time, Qin Shihuang would definitely be a cruel, violent, callous and heartless tyrant."
"Yeah yeah."
"Qin Shihuang brutalized the people, employed cruel officials, burned books to enslave Confucian scholars, and established literary prisons... All kinds of actions caused great harm to society. How can these achievements of his be offset?"
"Yes, what Academician Wang said about Qin Shihuang's achievements is true, but it is still not as good as his negative impact on the people and society."
Scholars were discussing in a flurry, and there were many barrages floating in the live broadcast room at this time, and the audience was enthusiastic.
Everyone said something to me, and I rebutted what you said. Almost everyone was discussing whether Qin Shihuang's merits outweighed his faults or whether his faults outweighed his merits.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo, who had been silently watching without speaking, turned to look at Wang An, only to find that the latter was not anxious about their reaction, but led everyone to look at Qin Shihuang's merits and demerits from a different angle.
"It is true that from a humanistic point of view, for the common people, Qin Shihuang greatly violated their interests and did many things that harmed them."
Wang An paused for a moment and then said: "But everyone might as well look at it from another angle. From a historical perspective, looking at ancient and modern times, if Qin Shihuang hadn't unified the six countries, who knows how long the war would have lasted? Without Qin Shihuang's appearance, How does society move forward?”
As soon as these words came out, all the scholars were obviously stunned. Only Lin Mo secretly cast an appreciative look at Wang An.
This is a good thing to say.
"Assuming that Qin Shihuang had not unified the six countries, nor had he unified currency and writing, it would have been extremely difficult for people from all countries to communicate and trade, and the process of social development and evolution would have been greatly delayed." Wang An continued, "From this point of view, Qin Shihuang Aren’t his achievements more worthy of our mention than his death?”
There was a murmur of discussion all around, and it seemed that many scholars agreed with what Wang An said.
"That's right."
"From what Academician Wang said, Qin Shihuang's achievements are indeed great."
The old scholar who had previously refuted Wang An plausibly closed his lips tightly at this moment, but he also agreed with his statement in his heart.
After Wang An said this, he looked at Lin Mo, hoping that the latter could say something.
Lin Mo noticed his gaze and thought to himself: Regardless of merit or demerit, he is a person in authority, so he naturally thinks that what Qin Shihuang did is just what an emperor would do.
Therefore, he didn't say much, so he just responded in a low voice, quite casually.
Lin Mo didn't think about attracting the audience at first. However, unexpectedly, just because of Feng Qingyundan's voice, the audience in the live broadcast room exploded.
"Ahhh! This 'um' is so cool and handsome!"
"No matter how fierce the argument was, he just stood there and listened quietly... This is the unique style of the priest!"
"That's true. Not everyone can imitate this temperament."
"Master Priest yyds!! I just like his way of not being alarmed!"
These are not only viewers who like Lin Mo, but also many passers-by who have become fans of him.
When Lin Mo saw these comments, although he couldn't understand why a "hmm" could cause such a big reaction, he still smiled softly, thinking that these viewers were quite interesting.
However, Lin Mo still didn't expect that this smile would become the fuse that "ignited" the live broadcast room. However, this time the comment explosion was different from the previous one. The main members were some female viewers.
"Help! Lord Priest! Smile!"
"Ah!! This is too fatal!!"
"I can't help it anymore. I'm so excited when he smiles!"
"I love the priest!!"
…
In the blink of an eye, they all lined up to express their love for Lin Mo.
