Emperor Qin

Xianyang is still hot in September, and the autumn tiger is rampant, and the whole country is immersed in the joy of harvest.

Yan Jiang carefully wiped His Majesty's feathers - it woke up too early today, and it was not completely dark yet, but he was relieved when he thought that he almost accidentally drowned it just now.

After feeding the eagle and the tiger, Yan Jiang found a village to spend the night, and the tiger went to play by himself.

Huahua stretched, rubbed against her master, and turned over to reveal her belly. Seeing that her master was still hard-hearted, she could only walk away sleepily and sneak into the mountains.

Seeing this scene, His Majesty sneered with his wet feathers on his head, looking contemptuously.

Yan Jiang found Lizheng in the village. He was dressed in extraordinary clothes. farming conditions.

In Lizheng's somewhat reserved conversation, Yan Jiang learned that corn is still the mainstream diet, but winter wheat has gradually escaped the predicament of being eaten by the lowly and poor, and its value has skyrocketed-of course, this is mainly due to the promotion of King Qin. He is very responsible for himself, and especially likes to eat noodles such as oily and spicy noodles, mutton noodles, and dumplings. The enthusiasm for growing wheat.

More importantly, winter wheat has an advantage that other crops cannot match - it can be harvested in May.

Corn is harvested in spring and harvested in autumn, and it is extremely dependent on the weather. Once drought or flood occurs in summer, the crops are not yet mature, and the old grains have been eaten, then it will be in the green and yellow. Many famines will arise because of this, but the biggest advantage of winter wheat is It can be harvested in early summer to avoid the summer when natural disasters are most likely to occur.

Or you can use wheat to replant the corn when the corn is not harvested due to the summer disaster, so as to catch the green and yellow, which can be said to be a great good thing.

Yan Jiang listened to Lao Lizheng's narration, with a smile on his face, and he became more and more fond of Qin Wangzheng's governance. This king is really good, and all choices are the most beneficial to the country, unlike the two countries, Han and Zhao, who ponder all day Intrigue, looking for trouble.

He then asked which farmers planted alfalfa fields.

Li Zheng replied that those who planted alfalfa mostly bought lambs or calves for pasture, with the former mostly.

As he said that, he also took him to see a noble family in the village to get a wife.

Weddings in Qin State are held at dusk, so it is also called "Hunning Ceremony".The groom and the bride worship inside and outside the door through a cloth curtain. There is no drum music or congratulations from relatives and friends. However, the man slaughtered a sheep and shared the meat with friends who greeted him. It evolved into the most beautiful shape, and the children next to it drooled to the ground.

Lizheng said, this is a sheep raised with alfalfa this year.

Seeing Lizheng coming, the family also cut a small piece of mutton and gave it to him to eat. Lizheng thanked him, looked at Shangqing with some embarrassment, and said that this was also a relative of his family, and taking a piece of meat was not considered a bribe.

Of course Yan Jiang didn't care. For the poor common people, meat has an irresistible attraction. People living in modern society would instinctively reject fat, but in the eyes of the common people who were scarce in the Qin Dynasty, there was nothing better than oil. There is nothing more beautiful than meat, but limited by the low yield of corn, ordinary people are mostly absorbed in farming, and there is really no spare energy to find pasture and feed livestock.

But now alfalfa can be used for animal husbandry and grows extremely fast. For farmers, it is really a good supplement. In addition, cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, and chickens can all be fed with alfalfa. Yan Jiang estimated the surrounding areas of Xianyang. Yield, it was found that this is almost enough for food and clothing.

You know, eating meat can significantly reduce food consumption. If the idle fields in Guanzhong every year can be used...

It's a pity that alfalfa is afraid of waterlogging, so it can only be grown in the north, but it doesn't matter, most of the farming land in China is in the north.

After Yan Jiang returned to his residence, he was very satisfied with Qin State: "I can't believe the speed of this promotion. According to Lizheng, the seeds distributed to each Lizheng are very limited, but in this way, it will bloom everywhere, and next year, These seeds are likely to spread to Bashu and Hexi."

His Majesty raised his head slightly, very pleased with himself.

For more than a year, he has been watching the farming in person, and he has been personally involved in every seed distribution and field officials' instructions. If not, how could there be such a perfect promotion? North and South were domesticated by his Great Qin.

Yan Jiang praised a few words, then sighed again: "According to the laws and regulations mentioned in Li, the King of Qin personally intervened, and he can see through the benefits of wheat at a glance. Don't be afraid to die of exhaustion."

Maotouying froze.

Yan Jiang touched his master and put it on the window sill: "I'm tired all the way back. Your Majesty is going to find a beautiful female bird. I'll rest first."

Mao Touying's eyes widened, sharp and murderous.

Yan Dong was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and said with a smile: "Honey, I said I wanted to marry you, but you just thought about it for a long time and didn't nod, which proves that you and I are not destined. Be good, go find a beautiful bird by yourself, boo~"

He lowered his head and kissed the bird's face forcefully, and lowered the window.

The next day, Yan Jiang entered the academy outside Xianyang City.

The scope of this school built along the city wall has obviously expanded, and the length of the city wall inlaid with mud has reached more than 40 meters. There are hundreds of schools involved in the scriptures. Yan Jiang asked, and this matter is now handed over to Zhang Cang Tongguan, he classified the classics of hundreds of schools of thought, and each family divided an area, so different scholars gathered in each area of ​​today's academy.

When Yan Jiang arrived at the mud fan wall of the Mohist school, he saw Mohist disciples wearing coarse sandals, black faces and thick hands, and cloth scarves covering their heads, lined up devoutly, waiting for the rubbing of books.

The Confucianists not far away are dressed in silk shoes and brocade clothes, wearing a beautiful crown, with a romantic demeanor, and they look at the Mohists with a strong sense of superiority.

This of course aroused the resentment of the disciples of the Mohist school. The two sides started a verbal battle, but within a moment, the Mohist sons were defeated. There was no way. Can only hover in the bronze rank.

But what Yan Jiang never expected was that the Mohists came back soon after being angry, and took out various equipment such as slingshots, rubber arrows, and crossbows.

"Isn't the Qin State prohibiting private fighting?" Yan Jiang asked incredulously, no one cares about it?

"Where is this a private fight?" A young Mohist raised his lips and smiled, and said brightly, "I'm just comparing weapons on the spot. The cottonseed was taken out, and I waited here to rub the book to get clues, those people got close and were affected, how could it be said that I was fighting privately?"

Yan Jiang almost laughed out loud: "This statement is reasonable, but I have heard that Mo Zi is both loving and non-aggressive. How can he be so sharp?"

Universal love means equal love between people, and non-aggression means opposing aggressive wars, but these Mohists seem to have a lot of temper.

"Mozi has a saying: promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world." The other party smiled slightly, "The Confucian scholar didn't love everyone at the same time, so he caused harm, and the harm should be eliminated."

This theory is very good, Yan Jiang became interested, so he started talking with him.

The other party claimed to be Xiangliyun, a member of Qin Mo Xiangli clan. Back then, the Mo family suffered a great disaster in Chu State because of Wu Qi's political reform, and their vitality was greatly injured. One of the Mo family moved westward to Qin, and it was his ancestor Xiangli Diligence, the ancestors believed that the unification of the world is the only way for the world to be non-offensive, and to stop wars without fighting, so they built siege and defense equipment to contribute to the state of Qin.

A hundred years later, the Mohist family took root in Qin State, and the Shaofu of Qin State managed all the ordnance production, so most of the Mohist disciples entered the army and made weapons for Qin. This branch of the Li family is called Qin Mo, and there are also Chu Mo and Qi Mo. It is hard to say who is Mo Zi orthodox.

Yan Jiang asked why did he fight with Confucian disciples again?

Xiang Liyun rolled his eyes, it was a long story.

Yan Jiang listened for a long time, and found out the details from the other party's slander against Confucianism. It turned out that Mohism was inherently at odds with Confucianism.

How should I put it... The classics of the Mohist school have a bit of a flaw.

Mozi was born in a humble family and once studied Confucianism, but he was annoyed by etiquette, especially when he heard that Yan Lu’s son had died, he asked his master Confucius to sell his car to bury his son, but Confucius said, “If you sell a car, you have to walk. Walking does not conform to my identity" After refusing, the caring Mozi felt tired—you are all hypocrites!

Then he went to the Zili sect. He hated the troublesome etiquette of Confucianism very much. He advocated frugality. He died when he died. He nailed a coffin and mourned for three months. To the extent that the body is injured and walks with the help of a stick, isn't it just looking for trouble? A living person is not a human being?

This is not a big deal. In order to fight against the aristocratic etiquette and oppression, the Mohists rose up to resist on behalf of the people at the bottom. They not only pointed out the technology tree to get all kinds of siege equipment, but also organized a strict military group, so that everyone in the world will have great love. , Stop fighting and fight, the emperor is a sage, frugal and loving the people, listening to all directions, quite communist.

At the same time, in order to pay attention to the opinions of the people at the bottom, it is necessary for the village chiefs to unify their thoughts, and then the township chiefs unify the thoughts of the village chiefs, and continue to the emperor level. The people's thoughts will be completely unified, there will be no more wars, and the world will be peaceful from now on.

It's a pity that the monarch is smiling at this kind of theory in front of his face, but behind his back... Anyway, when he needs to defend the city, he treats them as treasures, and runs away if he doesn't need them. Be cool!So he led the team into the still weak state of Qin, joined forces with the leaders of the state of Qin, and established the basic Li village system.

Because of this, Qin Mo is quite aggressive, good at implements but not good at theory, so I can't say that the group of Confucian scholars, they have now established a small industrial system in the Qin State's Shaofu, which is highly valued by the king .

According to Xiang Liyun, every weapon in the Qin State is the same size, because the craftsmen's measurements are uniformly distributed by them, the parts must be standardized enough to be disassembled and installed with each other, and each product must have its own name... etc.

Yan Jiang became more and more surprised when he heard it. My god, this Qin Mo has already come up with a standardization, and the next step is the production line, and he claims to be the best in the seven countries in terms of mechanical mechanism.

How great.

It's embarrassing just listening to their political views.

"Universal love, non-aggression, frugal use, Minggui (emphasis on inheriting the cultural wealth of the predecessors), Tianzhi (mastering the laws of nature) are all good ideas, but it is a bit too much to choose the world's sages to be the emperor" " Yan Jiang frowned.

"Where is the past, the emperor is not virtuous, and the people have a place to live?" Xiang Liyun disagreed.

Where did it go! ?This is questioning the legitimacy of the Son of Heaven, not to mention other things, Yan Jiang looked at him and pondered for a few breaths: "Then I will tell you."

It just so happened that a person on the podium in the distance was spit off, which was very embarrassing, so no one went up for a while, and Yan Jiang took the stage leisurely.

"I'm Shangqing Yan Jiang. I'm free now, so I'll talk about 'On Mo'." Yan Jiang smiled slightly, and began to talk about people's physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, self-actualization needs, and farming social ability. The basis of support and so on talk about what kind of situation can develop into the prosperous age of Mohism-it must be communism.

The key is to take the Mohist thought sideways, ah, it is to bring the right, since they are all craftsmen, rewrite a political program, how to use work to benefit the world, use work to win the hearts of the people, use work to defend the country, rely on others rather than rely on yourself ...

These are the essence summed up by the modern society. Mr. Mark has pointed it out for a long time, and Yan Jiang didn’t expect to turn them around at once—it’s a big deal to talk about it a few times. good.

Anyway, the division of sects is not so important these days-Xunzi, a Confucian sage, taught Han Fei and Li Si two great masters of Legalism.

Then why can't he point out two Mohist celebrities to come out?

The progress of scientific and technological civilization must not be suppressed!

……

Xiang Liyun in the audience listened disapprovingly at first, and gradually frowned and asked questions, his expression became more severe—these remarks seemed, seemed, somewhat reasonable.

Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wangzheng soon received the theoretical volumes of Yan Jiang's lectures.

Turning over slightly, while the expression was dignified, the heart gradually moved.

He seemed to have found a way to trap him.

Li Si looked at King Qin suspiciously, not knowing what to read about the new book, and asked the king to forget him.

Suddenly, seeing King Qin put down the book, he said leisurely: "The widow can see this person and play with him, and he will die without regret."

If we can play together every day, we won't hate to die.

Getting such an evaluation from the king will definitely make A Jiang feel like a confidant, and instead of talking about the past and the present, it is easy to know each other and make friends.

The author has something to say: In the historical records: the king was obsessed with Han Fei's works, and after reading it, he said, "The widow must see this man and hang out with him, and he will die without regret." After seeing Han Fei, he killed him.
