Lu Chengqi also knows that in the era of no electricity, there is no megaphone, and it is very difficult to speak in public. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info holding this gold-plated horn is just a bit of a psychological effect, increasing the spread of sound. can really hear Lu Chengqi's speech clearly with his own ears, I am afraid that the people under the platform are only two or three hundred, this is more to say.

Lu Chengqi's intentions are obviously not here. As everyone knows, he had already asked the Supervision Department to invite the reporters from various newspapers in Chang'an City (called Fengcai in this era) to the middle of the platform to ensure that he could hear what Lu Chengqi said clearly. After listening to this, these people reported back to the agency to write. Thanks to the efficient movable type printing, a four-page newspaper could be delivered to the people of Chang'an City on the second day, and then Chang'an City became a radiation circle and spread from all sides. At that time, the name of Chidao, together with a few hand-drawn sketches, could be famous all over the world.

On the platform, which was more than two meters high, Lu Chengqi looked around and found that the people and forbidden troops surrounded by him were not under tens of thousands of people. It was also at this time that the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there was this grand occasion. In the future, how modern a stadium would have been!

After sighing with emotion, Lu Chengqi's originally nervous and excited heart slowly calmed down. With many experiences, Lu Chengqi no longer has the cramped feeling of his initial speech. After clearing his throat, Lu Chengqi opened his mouth and said: "I am the son of Dashun, if according to the teachings of various schools of Confucianism, these so-called strange skills are not worthy of admiration. But I read the books of the ancient sages, and between the lines, I have never found a word that disparages these strange and ingenious things. On the contrary, if there is no Shennong to taste the herbs, how can there be a saying of five grains? If there is no ancestral silkworm, where does the silk and satin that you and I wear today come from? Since ancient times, it has been able to develop day by day, and it is indispensable to have wonderful skills. Why do I value artisans? Why was the Science and Technology Award established? It's all out of that idea.

The Khitans are stronger than us, their equestrianism is better than ours, and they can't catch up with us Han people in riding and shooting. That's their strength and that's where our weakness lies. But we Han people are the smartest. The city and city defense tools we invented made the Khitan cavalry look at the city and sigh helplessly.

No matter how strong a city is, there will be a day when it will be breached. If we Han people pin our own safety and national safety on the city and do not want to forge ahead, then I dare to say that the Khitans will become stronger and stronger, and my Dashun will be dwarfed and finally defeated. I also hope that this is not true, but the development of history is like this. At the time of the Wuhu Rebellion, who could have imagined that the Hu people could almost kill the Han people? Speaking of the Qin Dynasty, it was just the construction of the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu!

Mencius said, born in sorrow and dying in peace, the words of the sub-sage are the supreme truth of the world. If you live in peace and do not think of danger, disaster is imminent. Our Han people occupy great rivers and mountains and enrich the Central Plains, which is the factor of envy of the Hu people, and it is also the root of the struggle between the Han people and the Hu people. Even in a few hundred years, such killings will still happen. The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable. As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. My Han people are the horsemen who have a harmonious family, and the Hu people have been coveting the land of my Central Plains.

The Hu people's strength continues to increase, but our Han people are unguarded, how can they resist the fierce and vicious jackals?

I admit that if compared to the strength of individual soldiers, a few Han people are no match for the Hu people. But we Han people are better than many people, and we are better than smart minds, which is our biggest reliance.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already proved to the world that if the Han people were united, they would not be afraid of any enemy. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qian, Qiang, Di, Turkic, and now the Khitan are all wolf ambitions that want to occupy the land under our feet. Without him, the living environment on the grassland is harsh, and it is natural for them to yearn for our Central Plains.

But if we Han people, if we don't work hard and don't unite, then it is entirely possible that we will be driven out of the Central Plains by them. This is not my alarmism, nor is it my fabrication of history. The five nonsense has given a wake-up call to all Han people. There is no nation that can enjoy comfort and pleasure. If you want to occupy a good land, you must make yourself strong. I have always firmly believed in one truth, between countries and between nations, it is completely based on strength.

I am a Dashun people, who have always been based on agriculture, and naturally they are not as good as the Hu people on the grassland. But the cleverness of our Han people can make up for all this. We have countless powers, countless skilled craftsmen, who have invented all kinds of sharp weapons. If I can study it deeply, I firmly believe that the Hu people on the grassland will not dare to invade the Central Plains in the south. One day, we'll even call it!

I have said all this just to tell all the people of Dashun, including the court officials, including those who failed to win the first place, and show talents, not to make your so-called innate pride and belittle the craftsmen who have always made great contributions to the development of the Han people. Without these skilled craftsmen, it is unknown whether the Han people can occupy this great Central Plains at this moment.

Confucianism says that benevolent people love others, what is the explanation? I believe that this is a kind of fraternity, that is, I love all the law-abiding people of Dashun. Because I respect every Dashun people, they contribute to the development of Dashun through their own efforts. I always believe that there is no distinction between high and low in 360 lines. Scholars only have more knowledge than farmers. When it comes to farming, most scholars are not as good as farmers. There is a specialization in the art industry, and today's Dashun industry, how can there be more than 360 lines?

Perhaps hearing this, some readers have secretly scolded me in their hearts for belittling readers. Then you are wrong, degrading others and exalting yourself, you will always be high and low. The reason why scholars are respected is because they know how to read and respect others.

If you don't respect other professions, then the people won't respect you. I think it's something that goes hand in hand. You scholars now think that this road is a waste of money and labor, and that I am exalting craftsmen and belittling scholars. But I think that the gallop must be built!

First, Chidao can improve my Dashun's iron-smelting technology. As we all know, the quality of the blade depends on the quality of the iron. When the quality of the iron is good, the blade of the soldier will naturally sharpen the iron like clay. Why did I spend money and money to build a gallop road? Iron smelting technology is the main reason.

Second, the efficiency of the gallop. Ordinary carriages can travel 100 miles a day is already considered fast, and the load cannot be too much, otherwise the horses will not be able to bear it. But with the gallop road, when passing through the main platform, you can travel at least 300 miles a day without changing horses and cars! If the war breaks out, our Dashun army can react quickly, and naturally it is not afraid of the southern invasion of the Hu people.

Thirdly, I do not intend to use Chidao exclusively for military purposes, on the contrary, I attach more importance to the commercial value of Chidao. I spent money and silver to build a gallop road, so it was naturally convenient for the people. From now on, all commercial houses and merchants can try to ride the galloping carriage. When the road is officially opened, it is loaded with a carriage of goods, and only ten dollars are charged. Of course, the horses have to pay for their own forage. This carriage is also owned by the imperial court, and no one can build a galloping carriage privately, otherwise it will be heavily fined.

Fourth, I want to pave a gallop road in Chang'an City to connect this one. At that time, only three copper coins are needed, you can take the Chang'an City tram carriage, set up a station on the way, and get off at the station. If you go out of the city, you have to add money.

Hereby, I promise to all the people of Dashun that the Chidao will not be used for military purposes unless it is an emergency war! In the future, we will set up a special "Chidao Law" to protect the interests of Chidao. At the same time, the establishment of the Chi Road Department, which is directly managed by the Ministry of Households, is subject to the supervision of the Supervision Department, and is responsible for its own profits and losses, and lays its own Chi Road.

Well, I've said that. ”

Having said so much, in fact, it was just a matter of reciting the manuscript, Lu Chengqi put down the gold-plated horn and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. (To be continued.) )
