Chapter 80: Learning from History
Liu Chan's words were very direct, and the consequence was that Li Yan was stunned for a moment and then bowed his head in silence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing this, Liu Chan did not persecute, but continued to walk like that. After all, this is not a belief that can be easily defined as good and bad, but a belief that has been passed down for centuries.
After a long time, he heard the deep voice unique to the middle-aged man beside him, and saw Li Yan say with a complicated expression: "Young master, the ministers are shallow in their knowledge, and they don't know how to understand the way of the pre-Qin. After finishing speaking, he sighed in his heart, he thought that Liu Chan would cover up this matter, but he didn't expect to ask him so well now, and for a while, he didn't know how to choose.
Liu Chan smiled lightly, "If Li Gong is talented, then nine out of ten people in the world will be the wilderness villager." After continuing to walk a few steps, in a place where there was no one, he set his steps, turned around, looked at Li Yan with sincere eyes and said: "Since Gong is unwilling to answer, then I will ask again, I don't know Gong, what is your opinion on the pre-Qin who rose in the Warring States but died in the second world?" ”
Li Yan did not evade this question, pondered for a moment and replied: "Young Master, the reason why the pre-Qin Dynasty unified the world and Dingding the Central Plains was because the Shang Dynasty changed the law in the front, recruited talents in the middle, and attacked from afar and closely. As for the death of the second, it was because the world was determined, unrestrained, and laissez-faire. ”
As soon as Liu Chan heard it, he knew that Li Yan's words were extremely pertinent. After all, the pre-Qin Dynasty completely offended Confucianism because of the burning of books, although most of the people killed were warlocks and not Confucian students, but the defects of classics and the subsequent suppression of Confucianism were real, and these factors directly led to the decline of Confucian power in the early Han Dynasty.
It is really not easy for Li Yan to put aside his prejudices and make such remarks.
Since the other party has already said this, it shows that he is not rigid, and Liu Chan knows how to say his next remarks.
"Shang Yang is a Legalist, long-distance friendship and close attack is vertical and horizontal, and the weapons and equipment used in his troops are from the Mo family, and the hundreds of sons are in Qin, and the boy is not talented, but he thinks that the head of the Bona hundred schools is the reason for the rise of the Qin State."
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he bowed, just like the ancient doctrine debate. In fact, he has always felt that talking like this is more tiring than relieving his hands, but when it comes to academics, if he doesn't pretend to be a young man, it will seem very unclassy.
He continued: "As for the death of the second emperor, the so-called laissez-faire is one of them, foolishly thinking that in his later years, the Qin Emperor believed too much in Huang Lao, so that the rule of inaction was popular, and after the book burning, he was too violent, emphasizing the law and ignoring the scholars, and the talent was scattered. ”
Liu Chan's words were actually a relatively mature point of view after countless discussions in later generations, and now he directly borrowed them.
And this kind of extremely profound argument made Li Yan taken aback.
He thought about it carefully and found that the demise of the Qin State and the decline of the Han family were all caused by the dictatorship of a certain school!
Take the Later Han Dynasty as an example, after Confucianism was in power for many years, it lost the vitality and prosperity of the previous Han Dynasty!
All of a sudden, these gushing thoughts made his originally firm heart begin to waver, just like he had climbed the mountain all his life, but finally found that it was just a small hill under the deep valley!
"Yes...... There is no ...... in the way of Confucianism."
Liu Chan shook his head, "All laws have degrees, but people's hearts have no degrees." ”
This sentence is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back, Li Yan only feels that the knowledge he has been proud of for many years is no different from the frog at the bottom of the well.
……
After returning home, Liu Chan sat paralyzed on the custom-made armchair, and now he only felt that those charlatans in later generations were indeed some capable people.
Most of the remarks he used were the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations in later generations, and it took many means to persuade Li Yanshang; And those charlatans have to make up a bunch of nonsense in a short period of time, and they have to be able to fool others.
But before he could catch his breath, he heard another person report that a man in brocade was asking to see him in front of the door.
"Who?" Liu Chan knocked on his temples and asked in a deep voice.
"Young master, this person handed over the token of the Yang family of Yang Hong, the Taishou of Chengdu." The servant replied.
Well?
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously sat upright from the chair, and clicked on the table a few times before he spoke: "Please come in, prepare the main hall, bring people there, I will be there later." ”
When the next person took the order and left, Liu Chan, who was sitting in danger, fell backwards again, and actually returned to his previous lazy posture.
"Heh, you think you can take yourself out of it with a trip?"
After a short rest, he stood up and walked out of the room, but in the direction of the "laboratory".
After discussion, the officially finalized experimental area was ordered by Liu Chan to take the name of "Shu Academy of Sciences" and expanded, that is, the Sichuan Shu Academy of Sciences. His vision was to turn the area into a mecca of science in the future, similar to the status of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in later generations.
Walking to the No. 1 building of the Shu Academy of Sciences, that is, the room that was the first to be opened and the last time the cement was initially experimented, Liu Chan pushed open the door and walked straight to the wooden cement block placed in the corner of the house.
After pressing it with his finger, he found that the hardness of the cement block had stabilized, at least not a fingerprint on the first day.
Now that there is cement, not only the construction of the embankment, Liu Chan has some other ideas.
For example, filling potholes, building brick houses, and of course, the most important thing now is to strengthen the city walls with cement as the foundation!
Not only the city wall, his original idea was to imitate the later generations, under the condition of ensuring agriculture and economic collapse, to carry out a large-scale cement smelting, and after fully ensuring the output of cement, all counties and even villages would build city walls, and set up a cement-supported defense line in the war with Jiaozhou and the southern barbarians!
But after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't make up his mind. It's not that he is afraid that the technology of this cement will be mastered by the enemy and turned against him after it leaks out, but that he is afraid that it will be like the great steelmaking of later generations, breaking through control and causing the collapse of the economy and people's livelihood.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open again, and a figure appeared at the door, and then Liu Chan saw the delicate face by candlelight.
"Brother Young Master, you are really here!"
Just smelling a burst of incense blowing, the figure came to Liu Chan.
"Brother Young Master, you left me alone before, it's too much!" Zhang Man's eyes widened, his face puffed up, how could he have the image of being quiet and Shuhui outside before.
Liu Chan had to touch the tip of his nose, and with an idea, he lifted the wooden cement in front of him, and said, "Sister Man, look, this cement has hardened!" ”
