Chapter 191: Maybe This Is the Meaning of Crossing (Part 1)
Looking at Xun Guan who was solemnly saluting towards him in front of him, Zhao Dan knew very well in his heart that after today's conversation, he had obviously completely drawn this world-famous Confucian to the side of Zhao Guo.
If the idea of the Handan Academy is really successful, then in the near future, Zhao will replace Qi as the cultural center of the entire Chinese civilization.
Never underestimate the two invisible and untouchable words of "culture", the pride and identity of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years, the source of which is not this brilliant Chinese culture?
And it's not just culture, after defeating Qin twice in a row, Handan, the capital of Zhao, will also be left behind the cities of Linzi, Daliang and Luoyi to become the largest economic center in China.
Developed economy, prosperous culture, strong military strength... Such a country can often create an extremely glorious prosperous era.
And the founder of this prosperous era is undoubtedly Zhao Dan!

Zhao Dan took several deep breaths in a row before he finally freed himself from this flying thought of imagining the future, looked at Xun Jing in front of him and said with a smile: "I don't know where Xun Qing wants to be the location of the Xue Palace?" โ
The city of Rome cannot be built in a day, and this school palace in Xun is no exception, and the first thing to solve is of course the problem of location.
Xun Jing smiled: "The minister hasn't thought about it yet." โ
Zhao Dan waved his hand and said, "Xun Qing just go and see, even if you see any land, tell the widow!" โ
The current situation of Xun can be said to be definitely a super celebrity in front of Zhao Dan, what he wants, he doesn't hesitate for a second.
Xun Guo smiled: "In this case, I will thank the king first." By the way, this school palace still lacks its name, so it is better to ask the king to give the name of the school palace. โ
"Name-giving?" Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "In this case, this school palace will be named 'Huaxia School Palace'!" โ
In this time and space, the Huaxia Academy Palace, which is known as the "first cultural holy place on the earth" by future people, was established today.
Xun Kuang is also a person who does things vigorously and resolutely, and he just left the palace soon after negotiating with Zhao Dan, and took two disciples to Handan City to find a location for the future Huaxia Academy.
The proposal brought by Xun Jing was so shocking and explosive that when Xun Kuang left with his two disciples for a long time, Zhao Dan was still immersed in joy.
It's really this news, which really makes Zhao Dan excited.
To be honest, in this era, the development of the hundreds of schools of thought is actually still in a preliminary stage.
Moreover, after Dong Zhongshu engaged in a "deposition of the hundred schools of thought and exclusive respect for Confucianism", except for the two schools of Confucianism, the other schools of thought basically slowly declined and deviated.
Taoists could have become philosophers and politicians, but turned out to be a bunch of gods.
The Mohists could have become engineers and physicists, but they disappeared under the suppression of their sworn enemies, Confucianism.
The Yin-Yang family could have become astronomers, but it turned out to be a group of gods, and they were even used by charlatans to deceive people.
In addition, there are also famous experts, miscellaneous families, vertical and horizontal families, soldiers, etc., all because of the decline of Dong Zhongshu's set of theories, there is no longer a grand situation of its own.
Before he crossed over, Zhao Dan often wondered when he read this history: If it was not for this time to depose the Confucianism of a hundred schools of thought, and let all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought bloom for hundreds of thousands of years, would the land of China enter the modern society one step ahead of the Western world and become the master of modern society?
Zhao Dan thinks this is very possible.
Wasn't the rise of Europe due to the Renaissance that emerged in the dark Middle Ages? Like a hundred schools of thought, it is a collision of ideas and a feast of culture.
In fact, among the sons and hundreds of people who suffered from the deposition of Confucianism, there were also so-called "victors" Confucianism and Legalism.
Since the loss of opponents, Confucianism has become increasingly ossified, and finally completely reduced to the ideological tool used by the rulers to fool the people and stabilize the rule, and has been criticized by countless people in the modern society in later generations, and there is a great tendency to throw the cauldron of China's backwardness for a hundred years on Confucianism.
The same is true of Legalism, which advocates the rule of law, although it is a rule of law under the control of the king, but in fact, the theory of Legalism only needs one opportunity to evolve into a modern type of rule of law.
As a result, the Legalists became loyal lackeys under the kings, and each Legalist figure could only be known for the image of cool officials, which was far from the scene envisioned by the Legalist powers when they founded the theory.
A movement to depose the Confucianism of the Hundred Schools of Thought can be said to be a great setback in the self-evolution of Chinese civilization.
Of course, even if they had not deposed Confucianism, they would not have been able to become philosophers, physicists, and astronomers as Zhao Dan had envisioned.
But in any case, as long as these hundreds of schools of thought still exist and are still active on the stage of Chinese civilization, they have the possibility of evolution, and if they follow the way in history, there is no possibility at all.
As long as there is hope, even one percent of hope, it is infinitely stronger than no hope.
In fact, at this time, Zhao Dan, who gradually calmed down, also began to understand Xun Qian's thoughts.
Being a lieutenant of Zhao Guo is certainly a high authority, but he can't say which day he doesn't do what Zhao Dan wants, then Xun Guo will be covered and left.
But the establishment of the Handan School Palace is different, after all, the School Palace was built because of Xun Condition, so Xun Situation and Confucianism have no doubt that the right to speak in this School Palace is very important.
In addition, the school palace itself is the identity of the political advisory group, although Xun Guo does not hold a specific position, he can still participate in the political stage of Zhao State as the head of this political advisory group, and can also exert influence on Zhao Guo's decision-making.
Therefore, Xun Kuang's move to build a school palace as a lieutenant is actually a kind of retreat as advance, and Xun Kuang's short-term fame and fortune in exchange for Confucianism's long-term influence and discourse on Zhao State.
Not only that, as long as this school palace is carried forward in the future, then Xun Qian, as the founder of the school palace, is naturally a hundred generations, but he is better than being a lieutenant I don't know how many times.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and shook his head: "What an old fox!" โ
If Zhao Dan hadn't thought wrong, I'm afraid that when Xun Guo left the Chu State, he had already envisioned the establishment of the school palace in his heart.
Xunzi Xun is really worthy of being a generation of power that integrates the law with Confucianism, and it is also a set of scheming.
For some reason, Zhao Dan suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
Today's meeting between myself and Xun is likely to completely change the history of Chinese civilization, so that Chinese civilization will have a chance to rule the entire earth in a real sense!
Zhao Dan let out a long breath, as if he had a clear understanding in his heart.
Perhaps, this is the true meaning of crossing.
