Chapter 1061 Ascending Ninety-Five-Thirteen
The matter of ascending the throne is just a matter of course for Liu Yi today, with Yang Biao, Cai Yong, Liu Yu and other old ministers and Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan and other talented people under his command working hard, plus the famous Confucian Zheng Xuan Kong Rong will wave the flag and shout for him, whether it is the name or the etiquette, there will be no regrets. Now he has to think about how to use this matter to promote the implementation of his own series of new policies, these measures have been brewing in Liu Yi's heart for a long time and have begun to have some tentative promotion in Yandi, and it seems that the effect is quite in line with his imagination, and it can have a far-reaching impact on the Han in the future.
At the beginning of the independent government of Youzhou, Liu Yi began to consciously strengthen the status of poor students, and the root cause of the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty led to the chaos of China, which was because the strength of the scholars was too strong and there was no talent, and the echelon system was extremely disordered. In view of this, Lanson will never let history repeat itself, and a talent selection method that conforms to the times plays an extremely crucial role in the stability of the country's foundation, and it also requires him to spend more effort in it.
In the original historical time and space, the imperial examination system prevailed with the Sui and Tang dynasties, but its existence has an important premise, and the inherent scholar system in the previous troubled times and disputes has suffered a heavy blow, which undoubtedly played a role in promoting the implementation of the new system. But at the end of the Han Dynasty at this time, although Liu Yi made several efforts, the weight of the scholar clan in the court was still very important. Liu Yi also has to weigh the importance of it, and the great knowledge of the Ninth Five-Year Plan lies in balancing the forces of all aspects under his rule and making it beneficial to himself.
Before the unification of the country, Langsheng only had to be sure that this way of opening a branch of science and technology would become half of the country's selection of talents, but it would take some time to complete it to replace it with all the promotions, and the whole society would also have to accept this new way through a stage, but in any case, this law must be implemented, and Youzhou Academy will naturally become the best pilot for Langsheng, and more than 10,000 students will also become his biggest driving force for promoting reform.
Relatively speaking, the idea of valuing agriculture over commerce has been greatly weakened because of Liu Yi's efforts and actual results, and under the rule of King Yan, merchants have begun to have a certain social status, and even the prototype of some chambers of commerce has begun to appear, with the return of the Western Regions Mission, Han merchants not only have more and more exchanges with foreign races in the frontier, but also many far-sighted people have set their goals outside the territory! The so-called businessmen are profit-seeking, as long as they have good profits, they will be able to exert their huge potential. In this regard, Liu Yi is happy to see it, but he must also coordinate and control it through legal means, and believes that in the future, after the Han Dynasty opens up the sea route, the role and status of merchants in the society will be improved.
The establishment of the utensils institute has made great progress in the scientific and technological level of the Han Dynasty, especially in the tool compared with another time and space, and the importance of skilled craftsmen in the Yan Dynasty has also made the concept of "work" have a new meaning, and the current departments that build equipment and ships and other materials for the Yan army have brought some of the colors of later factories, and these craftsmen working in these departments have a fixed income, and they do not usually have to farm, their remuneration and wages are quite similar, but they still have their own fields at home, and they are not completely separated from the "farming." Although the income of ordinary farmers is slightly higher than that of ordinary farmers, the land is of great significance to the people, and it is necessary to continue to educate and develop the business in order to completely transform it ideologically.
A strong country in later generations must have a strong industry, and all innovations to promote the progress of human history are also the first to produce changes in this field, perhaps for the late Han Dynasty to promote the development of industry is still a little too advanced, but Liu Yi also wants to leave more opportunities for future generations. In front of this group of craftsmen can concentrate on the work arranged in the utensils, most of them are still because of the needs of the war and the importance of the Yan King to the sea, the state of war can not continue forever, how to let the industry with some momentum continue to develop well has become a subject that Liu Yi must study, and after the implementation of the three provinces and six ministries, the positioning of the utensils will also change.
According to common sense, this must be hung under the Ministry of Industry, after several years of running-in, it seems that Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, Jian Yong and others can play the role of the Ministry of Industry, but in Liu Yi's conception, he still wants to establish an independent and six other than the Chinese Academy of Sciences, similar to the later Chinese Academy of Sciences, science and technology is the primary productive force, that is, it is used in this era is also extremely correct, if there is no equipment, the previous two-front battle with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others Liu Yi will not be so easy to achieve today's big victory.
Ordnance, equipment, means of transport, these aspects containing the most scientific and technological factors in the composition of the Yan army's combat power has accounted for more and more proportions, this is reflected in the war is very obvious, the actual combat experience of the drill battle array is indistinguishable, but with the advantage of equipment, the Yan army can suppress the same number of Cao troops in the battle, and the multi-arms cooperation derived from this is more in the continuous consolidation and improvement, I believe that with the continuous progress of Yandi military science and technology, Liu Yi's military advantage will be more obvious! And this is only the function of the instrument, Youzhou states in the rapid increase in output to a period of steady development after a period of time, the momentum of the increase in production in the past two years began to be obvious, in addition to the efforts of the agricultural training class in the promotion of agricultural knowledge and the Agricultural Bureau of agricultural technology research on the innovation of agricultural tools and irrigation tools have played a pivotal role, as the most solid foundation of a country, agriculture is still in the first place at this time, so Liu Yi must pay great attention to the instrument.
In addition, including education, medical care, transportation and other fields, he also has to have an overall plan, the first two are related to the people's livelihood foundation in Yandi has a lot of effective measures, and then only need to be improved and promoted on this basis. The important thing is transportation, Liu Yi also has the idea of opening up the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which makes the communication between the north and the south more convenient, but if you want to do this, what he lacks most at this time is manpower, although after unremitting efforts and the implementation of various policies, the population of the Han Dynasty has increased a lot compared with another time and space, but there is undoubtedly a big gap compared with the Sui and Tang dynasties, and this aspect can not have an immediate effect, according to the figures of the previous population inventory, If everything is idealized and wants to reach the standards of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it will take nearly a hundred years of hard work, Liu Yi is afraid that he will not be able to see that kind of prosperity in his lifetime, and only through advanced technology can he make up for the lack of manpower.
Since Dong Zhongshu put forward the "deposition of the hundred schools of thought and respect for Confucianism", Confucianism has become the basis of the rule of all dynasties, until the Ming and Qing dynasties reached the peak span of more than 2,000 years, I have to say that it is extremely beneficial to maintain feudal centralized rule, an era has the characteristics of an era, Liu Yi in the process of governing the states is also Confucian theory as a classic, a slight difference in him more prominent Mencius's status, especially the sentence "the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." In the troubled times, this idea has been most widely supported by the people, and it has also played a huge role in the smooth reception of various places in Yandi, and it will continue to be the mainstream idea in the future.
Of course, Liu Yi, who has the experience of later generations, will not blindly respect Confucianism, and the atmosphere of academic discussion in Yandi at this time is relatively enlightened, among which the role of Mohist is the most obvious, and no one dares to question its contribution in the field of military and production. The so-called "a flower blooming alone is not spring." Especially in the field of thought, Liu Yi hopes to create a relatively relaxed environment so that his successors are not too imprisoned in this regard. On this line of thought, he has had in-depth discussions with Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Kong Rong and others, and sometimes the atmosphere is very warm, and in academic discussions, these Confucians will not give in the slightest because of Liu Yi's identity, and their ideas can often represent the vast majority of scholars, and they are also the direction of the mainstream thought of the Han Dynasty at this time.
In the end of this academic discussion, both sides made a certain compromise, Confucianism as the body, and its learning for use as a core idea was fixed, and those so-called "strange and obscene skills" will no longer be ignored by the mainstream of society! When it comes to academic level, Liu Yi is difficult to pat at at the same time as these today's great Confucians, and it is not as good as talking about it, but Langsheng also has his own advantages, that is, the fact that Yandi has succeeded in all aspects of people's livelihood and governance. This is what Zheng, Cai, Kong and others cannot deny, and with this as a basis, Liu Yi's words naturally have strong persuasive power.
In such a debate and discussion, Liu Yi's broad-mindedness and rigorous attitude are the most appreciated by the three of them, he will not put on the frame of the Han Yan King or the emperor to impose on others, but can have a sober reflection on his own shortcomings. Of course, he will not give up his views because of Cai Yong's identity as the elder, "the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes", "practice is the only way to test the truth" and so on often make people's eyes shine, and in the end, everyone appreciates this atmosphere of discussion, and wants to promote it to Youzhou Academy.
With the core theoretical ideas, all of Liu Yi's policy outlines and systems will become clearer, and in the future, they will be popularized among all officials through various means of education and publicity, and will be continuously improved with the problems that arise in practice. It was this move that had an extremely far-reaching impact on the ideological field of the Han Dynasty in the future, in the great books and annals.
