However, even if Korea had a navy, it would not be able to cross the sea to the south and attack Qin directly. The climate there is very special www.biquge.info there is a lot of wind and waves all year round, and it is impossible for sea ships to approach it. This harsh and special marine environment has closed off South Korea on the one hand, but protected it on the other. After all, if even South Korean warships can't enter, let alone other countries penetrate it and attack South Korea from the sea.

Even with God's love, the benefits cannot last forever. The large-scale cold snap that has hit South Korea for two consecutive years has already caused heavy losses. Because of its vast territory and large grain reserves, the situation of Yan is better than that of Korea. However, due to its geographical advantages and environment, South Korea has underestimated and is not prepared for such natural disasters. Since last year, hundreds of thousands of people have starved to death in South Korea. Even the Korean army, which guarded the natural danger of the isthmus, was forced to reduce the supply of daily things a lot. In this regard, the Han Emperor had no good choice, so he could only send envoys and caravans to other countries to ask for assistance.

The State of Qi borders the State of Chu and is also the country that is most similar to the State of Chu in terms of geographical environment. The area affected by the drought in Qi was larger than that of Chu. Emperor Qi also felt a headache about this, and couldn't find any good way to deal with it for a while.

Wei is located in the southern part of the continent, and it is also the country with the richest products and the best natural environment among all countries in the world. From the previous generation, the two generations of Wei emperors were weak and fearful of attacks from the Qin state in the west. Although Wei had a considerable number of excellent generals, they were not reused by the Wei Emperor. For more than 20 years, Wei has been defeated several times in a row and ceded six cities. For this situation, there is also a lot of dispute within the Wei State. The main battle faction and the main peace faction compete with each other, each using its own means. On the other hand, Emperor Wei himself left it alone in the inner courtyard of the palace. It was as if the affairs of the world had nothing to do with him, the emperor.

In short, this is a very strange country, which is difficult to evaluate.

If the state of Zhao is compared to a tiger, then the state of Qin is the lion who does not give up.

Looking at the entire continent, Zhao was once the most powerful country. The word "powerful" is not only reflected in the general concept of having the largest area. The state of Zhao once had the largest number of troops in the entire continent. Possess some of the best generals in the world. At that time, the soldiers of Zhao State once pointed directly at the capital of the Qi king, and also captured the imperial city of Wei. Thousands of years have passed, and no matter how good a general is, there will be a time when he will die. Even the most powerful armies will grow old and weak. The character of good martial arts may be the root of each generation of Zhao Huang's bloodline genes. From the earliest Shenwu Linghuang Hufu cavalry to the present, Emperor Zhao has never dropped half a point on the bow and horse weapons.

It was a glorious time. The entire continent trembled under the iron hooves of the Zhao army. This is definitely not an exaggeration, but a fact. In ancient times, the emperor of the Zhou family divided the princes, and the Zhao State rose from the kingdom of heaven. First, he destroyed his neighbor Zhu Guo. Then there are Liguo, Duan, Fang, Yan, Cao, Pei, and so on...... It was an era full of wars and strife, and it was also an era full of ancient ritual culture and ideological explosions. There was a guy named Kongqiu who once wrote a biography about it. As for the name of the book, it is called "Spring and Autumn".

In contrast, the appearance of the Qin State seemed somewhat unexpected. Among the countries in the world, the fiefdom of Qin was the most remote, and it was also firmly blocked from the Central Plains civilization circle by Hangu Pass. The Qin State is mountainous. The amount of arable land is scarce, and the people naturally live in difficulty. At that time. Emperor Qin didn't even get the title of "emperor", just a mere marquis. It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and this sentence is very suitable for Qin Hou at that time. With only 20,000 soldiers and horses, Qin Hou continued to expand his living space in the direction of the west, and successively wiped out dozens of foreign countries in remote areas. After that. Among the people of Qin, there were many more people with foreign bloodlines. As the territory of his rule continued to expand, Qin Hou slowly became the King of Qin, and then the Emperor of Qin. Firmly locking the Qin State with a Hangu Pass should be to block Zhou Tianzi's conspiracy. He had never liked Qin Hou. For the so-called marquis, he is more disgusted than what is on the surface. However. Even the wise Zhou Tianzi did not expect that the strategy of locking Hangu Pass would actually achieve the hegemony of the Qin State. From then on, the Qin State only needed a small part of its troops to block the pass, and there was no need to guard against threats from other countries within the pass. It was only after the Qin State became stronger and stronger and the number of soldiers and horses exceeded one million that the kings of all countries in the world suddenly discovered that the once sheep had become the most powerful lion on the continent at some point.

At that time, Zhao was too busy with the war with Jin to take care of Qin. Speaking of which, the state of Zhao and the state of Jin are brothers. There is also the Wei State, all of which are knighted by the ancient great power Zhiguo. That kind of relationship is equivalent to a retainer under the name of the Sun Empire in another world. Because the monarch of Zhiguo had no way, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Jin, and Wei jointly plotted to kill that generation of Zhiguo monarchs and carve up Zhiguo, which led to the later situation of the Three Kingdoms. Later, Zhao and Wei formed an alliance and aimed their troops at the Jin state.

Lu is a country that must be mentioned and can never be bypassed. Although it is small and not very strong, it is famous because of a freak hole. Strictly speaking, Kong Qiu should be regarded as the queen of the nobles of the Lu State. Of course, this is what he said himself, and no one knows whether it is true or not. Anyway, in the roster files of the Imperial Family Zongren Mansion of the Lu State, the name of Kong Qiu cannot be found at all, and there has never been a record of Kong Qiu's father, grandfather and other ancestors. With a copy of "Spring and Autumn", Kongqiu's reputation spread all over the world, and many people also worshipped him. At that time, it was very far away from now, and civilization was not very developed, so naturally there was no such thing as a school. The teaching of knowledge between Confucius and his disciples attracted the interest of some nobles. Some people are willing to give money to fund Confucius to make the school larger, but Confucius is ambitious and wants to use his knowledge to hold a high-grade official position in a big country. However, learning is only an article on paper. Kong Qiu has some knowledge, but he is only limited to recording and writing, and has no insight into the vitality of the people and science and culture, and it is impossible for him to go into battle to kill the enemy. Lu Guojun is not a fool, he knows how much ink Kong Qiu has in his stomach, and because he is the author of "Spring and Autumn", he casually gave it to a petty official with no real power and low grade.

Kong Qiu is a man with high aspirations. How could he be bound by such a boring official rank? In his opinion, only an important position such as the minister of state can give full play to his abilities. Kong Qiu was very single, and he didn't even have a letter of resignation, so he left the country of Lu directly with his disciples. It is said that before leaving. was still at the city gate and sighed at the bright spring light, sighing that the monarch of Lu State did not know people, and belonged to the kind of fool who was confused and had no ambitions.

Of course, it was impossible for Conciulus to be so direct. It's just that everyone can hear the implicit meaning in his words. Just like another world uses the English letter "sb" to represent "stupid", the monarch of Lu was of course furious and furious when he heard the news. If it weren't for the fact that Kong Qiu walked fast, he left the border of Lu early. King Lu had already sent someone to arrest him back and dismantle him.

Traveling around the world to study, meeting the monarchs of various countries by the way, and promoting his own ideas of governance, so as to gain appreciation, this is Confucius's plan.

There is nothing wrong with the plan itself, and the implementation is in order. Everywhere he went, Confucius spread out straw mats as usual and debated and taught with hundreds of disciples. Because it's huge. It attracted a lot of people to watch. Gradually, the fame grew.

Conciu has always been an idealized figure. His philosophy of statecraft is very special. believes that there should be no war in the world, everyone should put down their swords and guns, and everyone has their own place in society. The farmer should work in the field, the woman should stay at home and weave, the king should command the world, and the officials and doctors should help with the affairs...... In a word. It's a wonderful idea, but it's impossible to make it happen.

In the State of Qi, Kong Qiu was dumbfounded when faced with Emperor Qi's question about how to deal with the flood disaster.

In the Wei State, the Wei Emperor asked how to sell his own grain and rice to a higher price. Kong Qiu scoffed, thinking that this was simply an insult to himself full of copper stench, so he brushed his sleeves away.

In the Qin State, Qin Hou, who was not yet the king at that time, was just a marquis, was very respectful to Kong Qiu, and asked Kong Qiu for a way to conquer the hearts of the people of the enemy country. In this regard, Kong Qiu told Qin Hou that in fact, there was no need for any swords and guns, as long as more learned people were sent on the enemy side to widely spread Qin Hou's benevolence and righteousness, the people would naturally yearn for it and take the initiative to join it. Qin Hou was very dissatisfied with this answer, claiming that the people of the enemy country could not even write, how could they understand Kongqiu's so-called "great righteousness"? If it was really possible, then he would ask Kong Qiu to go to the Zisun Kingdom, which was at war with the Qin State. If Kong Qiu can really say that the people of Zisun will be attached to the Qin State, then Qin Hou will classify the land of Zisun as the exclusive domain of Kongqiu.

The conditions were good enough, but Kong Qiu couldn't do it. Talking about it and doing it are two different things. In desperation, Kong Qiu could only lead his disciples to leave the Qin State overnight and go to Korea.

As decades pass, ordinary people and monks grow old, and Confucius is no exception. The set he advocated was not understood at all, and it was completely inconsistent with the interests of the kings of all the countries under heaven. In this regard, the disciples of Confucius gradually felt dissatisfied, believing that what they had learned had no effect. At the age of sixty, Confucius calmed down and made changes to the concept of knowledge, and there were changes such as that the people of the world should be naturalized by the royal way. In short, it is to make one's intellectual ideas suitable for the king and more easily accepted.

At that time, Emperor Zhao, who had just ascended the throne, was very young, and the ministers around him also despised Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao was very anxious about the current situation of the imperial power, and urgently needed to find a solution. Kongqiu's improvement in indoctrination etiquette just coped with Emperor Zhao's appetite. Emperor Zhao ordered Kong Qiu to be crowned as the Great Honglu and took charge of the education of the people in the territory of Zhao. Kong Qiu was cunning and knew that this official position was not easy to come by, so he also got along with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and revised his theory again according to the requirements of the noble ministers. There are more people who agree, and Kongqiu's fame is naturally getting bigger and bigger. It's just that Kong Qiu is really old, and after staying in Zhao for a few years, he died with a whimper. Later, the books he wrote were inherited by his disciples and called them "Confucianism".

The political situation of Zhao at that time, to put it bluntly, was that Emperor Zhao wanted to regain power and disputes with courtiers. The emergence of Confucian Confucianism limited the power of the king to a large extent, but on the surface it seemed the opposite. Therefore, both the courtiers and Emperor Zhao praised Kong Qiu. At that time, the State of Zhao had already destroyed the State of Lu and set up a special place as the fief of the Confucian family. As a result, Confucius's Confucianism began to become popular in the world.

The well-educated people of the Zhao Kingdom gradually became numerous. The style of writing has become the standard for evaluating a person's excellence in society. You can do nothing. But I can't only ignore poetry. You can do nothing, but you can't honor the king. What's more, this kind of culture is not an exploration of science and technology in another world at all, but purely a game between words. In order to make the Confucianism he created more profound, Confucius was valued by kings of all countries. He also put forward the concept of "striking out against a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". Any kind of non-Confucian learning in the world is denounced as heresy. After the death of Confucius, this situation was completely exerted by Confucian disciples to the extreme. At that time, the Mojia school in Zhao was set on fire, Legalist figures were assassinated continuously, and the books of the soldiers were confiscated and confiscated......

This is a war between learnings. It's just that when Kongqiu was alive, he hadn't gone berserk to such a violent level. In order to be able to get the most out of it. The disciples of Kong Qiu were cruel and vicious, and those who held different opinions were either killed directly or suppressed by various methods. When there are fewer voices of opposition, there will naturally be more people who agree. Over the centuries, Confucianism has slowly become the foundation of learning recognized by the countries of the Central Plains. Confucius, who was originally like a lost dog, was also revered as a saint and received the name "Confucius".

Disadvantages of Confucianism. began to gradually manifest itself in the Zhao Kingdom.

When everyone respects the style of writing, serve in the army. Naturally, it has become the way to go down. The situation in which Confucianism controls the power of the world has been formed, and the imperial examination system of various countries has become more perfect than before. Under these circumstances, Zhao's army was reduced year after year, and its combat effectiveness was weaker than before. After that, Zhao Jun was no longer the strong and prosperous appearance that dominated the world as before. Even to deal with a small Zhongshan country, it had to send an army of 300,000. It took four years of melee to conquer it. If it were replaced by a small country with only 20,000 soldiers during the reign of the Shenwu Spirit Emperor, it would only take half a month at most to completely flatten it.

Qin Guo dreamed of re-entering Hangu Pass. Return to the land of the Central Plains. Border wars break out every year, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger every time. In the early years, Zhao even broke through the pass and occupied more than 60 cities of Qin, almost destroying Qin. In desperation, the Qin State could only expand in the direction of the west, and on the other hand, set up many passes in the direction of the east to block the Zhao army. This situation has been completely changed after Wu Anjun rose from the sky. After the Kongqiumen took full control of the political situation in Zhao, the largest battle of Changping between Zhao and Qin broke out. Bai Qi won the first battle, and even killed 1.7 million Zhao soldiers after the war. Since then, Bai's name has shocked the world, and the soldiers of the Qin State are unstoppable. The army of Zhao completely retreated to Hangu Pass, and the land and cities that originally belonged to Qin were re-owned by Qin. If it weren't for the fact that Hangu Pass was really difficult to attack, maybe the Zhao State would have been destroyed by the Qin State by now.

Anju is probably the most special place on the entire continent.

There are Anzhou Business School, Anzhou Public Works School, Anzhou Agricultural School, Anzhou Technology School and Anzhou Military Teaching and Training Hall. There are five categories in total. It is divided into more detailed items according to different rules.

When Yang Tianhong first set up these schools, even Cao Hui and the others felt confused and confused, and they couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. Because the knowledge taught in these schools is completely different from ordinary formal private school official schools.

The court of Chu took scholars, and they also followed the way of the imperial examination. However, if you want to step by step beyond the classes of children, talents, people, and scholars, and truly become an official of the imperial court, you only need to honestly immerse yourself in reading the articles of the sages, and you don't need to pay attention to anything else. After all, even if you are well-informed, have a good understanding of the general trend of the world, know how iron ore is refined into steel, how seeds germinate and grow, and what the physiological structure of the human body is, it is of no use for the imperial examination.

A literati is a literati. As for the above-mentioned things, it should be in the hands of craftsmen. Confucius said at that time that all things in the world should be taken care of by special people. Those who strike iron can only strike iron, and those who farm can only farm the land, if they understand the articles of the sages, they can naturally become officials.

In the Anzhou School, things like the Three Character Classics and the Thousand Character Texts are also taught. However, that is only for the initiation lion of children. The characteristic of all Anzhou schools is that the text education runs through them. Even the disciples in the military martial arts hall also have to learn to read and write. As for the other four books and five classics, poems and songs, they are not handed over. The things taught in several other schools have nothing to do with the imperial examination.

The Meng family firm became a leading businessman in Anzhou. The knowledge of business and store management taught in the Anzhou Business School will be taught, from the hospitality of customers, accounting in the accounting room, shopkeeper management to the purchase and shipment of goods, and so on. The instructors are also experienced shopkeepers among the Meng family firm and other resident merchants who have come to Anzhou. Among them, all the firms received an invitation from Yang Tianhong. According to the regulations, this is also a condition for each commercial bank to be able to reside in Anju. Either let them be in charge of lecturing, or they can have someone under them who is competent to teach them.

It's the rule, there's no reason to talk about it, and there's no room for bargaining. If you don't agree, then get out of Anzhou as soon as possible, and don't come over again, and you won't have a share of the sales share of Qingling Jade Liquid in the future. You don't even have to think about the various things that will be produced in Anzhou after that.

It's a strange practice. The merchants simply could not read and could not understand.

At first, everyone felt embarrassed. I thought to myself: Each family has its own way to make a fortune, if these secrets are taught, then what else will we eat? But the Anzhou Jiedu embassy opened its mouth and gave an order, and it was even more of a thing written on the state capital's copywriting, and no one dared not agree. Some people with rich imagination thought, could this be an excuse for Yang Tianhong to want to annex everyone?

However, this thought soon dissipated as the doubts dissipated. When the people who gave the previous lectures came back to talk about it, everyone found that the Anzhou Festival envoy was to let them talk about those general knowledge and rules. Everyone knows these things, nothing more than the fact that they used to bring their own apprentices, but now they give public lectures in front of more people. That's the difference.

Once the situation is laid out, there are no secrets. This has made many businessmen very interested. Whether it is the Zhang family, the Li family, the Chen family or the Meng family, no matter how extravagant and prominent the businessmen are, after all, they are also the lowest people in the Shinong industry and commerce stipulated by the Confucian sage. has no status in society, and is even lower in front of the powerful, and there is always a vague inferiority complex in my heart. Now, in a place like Anju, there is an opportunity to preach and solve doubts, and some people openly call themselves teachers and masters. This state of affairs was completely unexpected. Some people think it's fun, some people think it's decent, not to mention that the Anzhou Jiedu Embassy doesn't let them stay in the school every day to give lectures and not go out, at most, no one will come to talk once a month. When things are said, everyone is naturally willing. (To be continued.) )
