Chapter 199: Precursor
Nation, nation, race
These rivalries are brutal in their own right.
Before the Industrial Revolution, when there was no great development of productive forces, what should I do if I couldn't eat enough? You can only fight, you can only rob, where can you take care of so much.
resource
is limited.
So Shi Mo didn't understand what those Han people said that the Han people were also very cruel, and how history treated those ethnic minorities.
How do you treat your own people?
Shi Mo was silent every time he heard this kind of words, he was too lazy to say, he was afraid that he couldn't help it.
Your ancestors knew that you were such a thing, I'm afraid they would have been pinched to death early, right?
So there are no whites in East Asia.
A lot less mess.
"Who the hell are you?"
Shi Mo asked this question.
"Oh? Why do you ask?" The old man said unhurriedly.
"We are the ones who rebelled against the tyrannical Qin."
"Wouldn't it? I think you've been around for a long time. Shi Mo said tentatively.
"Where did you see that?" The old man's eyes moved slightly.
He did not deny that since the other party had begun to doubt, then he had to find out what kind of intentions the other party had, otherwise he could only come to something hard.
"Forces...... I've been watching you since you came here, and you're hierarchical, orderly, and you do your job, and this doesn't look like a newly formed organization. Shi Mo pondered for a moment, and then said.
This is not nonsense.
It takes time to build up any organization.
Let's use a simple analogy.
Alibaba in the previous life, to be honest, if it weren't for Lao Ma Jumping, Shi Mo, an otaku, really didn't know about this company, and in the next few years, because Lao Ma Alibaba attracted much attention, the company went public, and the stock has been rising.
The company has also spread a lot of interesting things, such as making employees stand upside down, and it already has its own corporate culture.
But corporate culture is not something that can be acquired in a day.
Like Shi Mo didn't hear about Ali in the first ten years, Ali was also slowly accumulating.
The same is true for the state.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was nothing in the etiquette law, and when the dynasty was rushed, Liu Bang could be casually hooked by the ministers (old brothers), Liu Bang was very unhappy, so he asked people to formulate etiquette.
The ministers were in order.
"Today, I know the respect of the Son of Heaven." Liu Bangmei said with emotion.
It can be seen that nothing is there from the beginning.
These organizational rules also have to be accumulated slowly.
That's why Shi Mo said so.
"I see." The old man understood, and then smiled: "Childe wants to hear it?"
"Naturally," Shi Mo hurriedly said.
"Haha." The old man smiled and shook his head.
"You can't tell outsiders about that."
"It's so secretive, so good can't you go!" Shi Mo said tentatively.
"This ...... Childe, the old man is not an unreasonable person, if you are willing to join us, then naturally there is nothing to worry about. The old man said very meaningfully.
"But you haven't told me where you came from and what you are for!" Shi Mo was displeased.
"There's no hurry, I have to see if you are disgusted with us, Childe, if you like to be unrestrained, then after you know where we come from, I'm afraid you don't want to join, right?" The old man was unhurried.
Shi Mo thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to imitate Zhang Liang's mood at this time and tell the truth.
"I am a Korean nobleman, my Zhang family is favored by the country, I only want revenge now, I only want to restore the country, I will only consider the matter of joining you after the death of Qin."
"Oh? It's good. The old man nodded, as if satisfied.
"Then let me tell me where we came from."
The old man sat precariously and looked at it very seriously.
"Have you ever thought about how people come to be?"
The meat scene is coming, Shi Mo is overjoyed, and he finally came into contact with the main plot.
"It's ............ Although there is a saying that Pangu opened the sky and Nuwa created people, but Liang disagrees with it, it should be the same as all these things, and it has existed since ancient times. Shi Mo pretended to hesitate and said.
This statement is a bit ahead of its time at this point, but it is not unspoken.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many thinkers had actually begun to question the so-called immortals, gods and ghosts.
Like Confucius, he couldn't explain all kinds of strange things, but he also said that the son was silent and confused.
At the end of the Warring States period, there was still a cow man.
Xunzi.
This is a naïve materialist thinker.
Xunzi said at the beginning of "The Treatise on Heaven": "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin." If it should be treated, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious. If you are strong and economizeal, you can't be poor; When you are ready to move, you can't get sick; If you follow the road and do not follow the path, the sky will not be a disaster. This completely negates the theory that there is a will of heaven and distinguishes the objective laws of nature from the development of human society.
This is the view of "heaven and man are separated".
What is more strange is that Xunzi has always criticized Confucianism, and his disciples Han Feizi, Li Si and others are all Legalists.
But Xunzi became a Confucian sage.
"Oh? The understanding of the ovary is different, but it is somewhat similar to Xunzi's statement. The old man paused.
"But what you don't know is that there are more than just people in this world!"
The old man sighed.
"There are people in this world who are different from us, and we used to call them gods."
"God?"
Shi Mo pretended to sigh.
Then he noticed that the game had a hint again.
Is it synchronized? 】
【Yes】
Shi Mo picked up the takeout and began to look at the screen to eat.
"God? Do you mean those myths and legends? Zhang Liang said incredulously.
"Yes, I don't know when they appeared, they are different from us, they are better dressed than we are, and we are still clothed in animal skins, and they have weapons, very strong and sharp swords. , the material is by no means bronze. The old man frowned, then smiled wryly.
"And we probably only had sticks in our hands at that time, right?"
Zhang Liang became more and more shocked.
This period is different from the afterlife.
Confucianism has not yet prevailed.
Therefore, although there are also words that there are cattle and better food and clothing in ancient times than now, it is not the mainstream.
Like Legalism, Legalism believes that each generation is stronger than the next, and today's world is better than the so-called prosperity of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and they are very disdainful of Confucianism.
So Zhang Liang had no objection to the old man's words.
At this time, there was no butcher like Xiang Yu burning the Qin Palace, and there was no Chu-Han War, so many ancient books were there, and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were not as mysterious as later generations.
At least, that's not a myth.
"They helped us and gave us a house, food, and weapons." The old man said meaningfully.
"Because of them, we became civilized, we built nations, but wars followed."
