Chapter 347: The Death of Bruno
Suke, who felt like he had been a little out of his game lately, left Bear City shortly after. Went to the middle of the Warring States period where Hu Zhao was. According to his idea, they should slowly build another model of city in the practice of survival in the wild.
However, he didn't stay there for long, because Sun Luo was going to relocate his network headquarters there. According to past experience, there would be no quiet environment where there was Sun Luo, so Su Ke had no choice but to go to the Ming Dynasty with no interest.
Why go to the Ming Dynasty? That's because there's a family business there. However, it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty is about to fall into war, and Sun Luo has no way to build a sufficient force for self-protection during the period. So he had no choice but to move to the middle of the Warring States period, which had already been opened up.
Although it was also a time of frequent wars, it was more than capable of ensuring a relatively peaceful development environment. If not, it can be protected from the 11th century or Bear City.
And although Su Ke is a person who has always pursued peace, only a guy who is extremely hot himself will want to balance his heart in this way. When he was in Little Bear City, he also showed a small hand in military command, and in the war-torn era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not easier to stimulate his potential.
After sending Su Ke away, Zhuge Liang began to bored and continued to find a way to fill his bottomless pit. Although the Crossing Treasure has raised a lot of money in a short period of time, and not much has been misappropriated yet, Zhuge Liang must come up with a way to fill the hole now. You have to find a suitable project.
After Su Ke left, in order to support the title of a great sage and good teacher, Shu Tingbei had to start a day of swaggering and deceiving everywhere. But he didn't do it for nothing, at least in his theories, there is a shadow of science everywhere. However, many of these scientific knowledge and ideas were regarded as heresies in the eyes of people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although many people in the market believe that Confucianism is still more tolerant of so-called heresy, it is only much more tolerant than Western sects. But from several examples in history, the exclusivity of Confucianism was still evident before the Song Dynasty. And after the Song Dynasty absorbed the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, his exclusivity was not just obvious, but very serious.
Once a person is brainwashed by Confucianism, it is difficult for him to successfully break free. That's true exclusivity. The trial of the so-called heresies, organized by the Church, is really nothing more than an attempt to stabilize the crumbling hearts of the people. This kind of large-scale exclusivity seems very undelicate. Different sounds often appear within the language of rain. The accumulation of these different voices led to a renaissance that was relatively opposed to sectarianism, a Reformation that called for internal reform, and a religious schism that simply stood on its own.
And in the Eastern Confucianism, which controls people's hearts and gives birth more delicately, although there are also different voices, they are all friends of the Confucian family. It wasn't until the advanced productive forces showed their scientific and technological achievements in front of the Qing people that there were so many people inside who shouted to bring down the Confucian family. The reform motion of Confucianism was quickly drowned in the long river of history, because that delicate control was gone, and the human nature that had been firmly bound was unleashed unscrupulously at that time, far more ferocious than the release of the West. Such ferocious intellectuals will not be satisfied with mere reformism.
And what Shu Tingbei wants to do now is to use this oriental-style delicate control to stuff the modern scientific and technological concepts and knowledge of the East and the West into their heads. This is to use religion to spread the once greatest enemy of religion, science.
Or rather, it is to allow science, with the help of religion, its once greatest enemy, to spread.
This is clearly a young mindset. If it were a group of older scientists or religious figures, they would never agree to such an approach. However, in Shu Tingbei's view, the so-called constraints of science on modern people are actually close to the religion of the past. To do something like this is just to show the side effects of science on human society.
For the heresy doctrines that the natives were more rejected, the godlike aura was also a powerful catalyst to accelerate their spread. This is a road that the Star Cat Group forces that want to have a group of their own people in a short period of time cannot but take.
It's just that for some people, this path can be a little difficult to accept.
"Frankly, this is the best way to promote science in ignorance. I also believe that this practice will bring prosperity to the empire in the future. ”
The person who uttered this sentence was Giordano Bruno, who had been burned to death by the church in Campo de' Fiori in Rome in his previous life. Although like many other celebrities, he has also been criticized by others in addition to mainstream publicity. I don't know if it's those people who want to attract attention with some rare remarks, or if the mainstream propaganda has always been unreliable. But the rhetoric has always been there.
For example, some believe that he was an Egyptian magician who tried to explain the workings of the universe with Egyptian spells and stabbed him with faith. That's why they were burned to death. One of the evidences of this gang is that there are many people who share his persistence and have not been punished in the same way as him. The reason is that those people are simply trying to tell the church that they are wrong, not to spread Egyptian magic.
Of course, these things will not be something he and Zhuge Liang discussed.
In Zhuge Liang's view, Bruno is the dividing line that pits science and religion against each other. What Shu Tingbei is doing now is to create a new religion and use it to spread science. The people who are most likely to be disgusted by such a move are those who have worked tirelessly for science in their previous lives.
"Do you really think so?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"Of course." Bruno replied, "It doesn't matter if it's to get rid of ignorance, even if it's through the cloak of ignorance, as long as we have a heart of wisdom." In fact, the church originally had this function, but they were too rigid and conformist. And then it became an obstacle to advanced culture. So, as long as our church doesn't do that, I'm willing to even be the most devout believer. ”
Zhuge Liang stood up, bowed to Bruno, and then said, "What I want to tell you is that our four lords have now appointed themselves as great sages and good teachers, and have named the new sect Datongjiao. And began to compile the scriptures of the Datong Sect, which seems to be called "The Book of Prosperity". You have to understand the name. Science and technology will only be accepted if it is useful to the ancients. ”
Bruno stood up with a smile and asked, "In my last life, my love, pain and regret, this life will be used to redeem it." ”
"It's a huge shame that you haven't been able to continue spreading science. Let's call it Bruno's Fall. But under the guidance of our new religion, no one will suffer this pain again. As long as they are seeking the truth, they will be respected by us. ”
Bruno is clearly very happy with this statement. He smiled and asked, "Do I need to be baptized to join the Church?" ”
