Chapter 0342 Qi people Xu Junfang, Wang Xu of the Zongheng family

"Hmmm······"

"Fishery, Fishing Industry ······"

A low tone of voice let out a murmur, and Liu Ying's deep gaze when she looked at Yang Li gradually took on a touch of approval.

For the Han dynasty, or the current stage of Chinese civilization, fishing, especially the offshore fishing industry, is not a novelty.

——The story of Guan Zhongtong's industrial and commercial industry, the benefits of fish and salt, to help the prince of Qi Huan and the princes of Jiuhe, pacify the civil strife in the Song Dynasty, attack Shanrong in the north, and attack Chu in the south, ranking first among the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, even for the people of the Han family today, it can be described as thunderous.

One of the most important of Guan Zhong's strategy of 'opening up industry and commerce and benefiting from fish and salt' is to take advantage of the geographical advantages of Qi to get salt by boiling the sea and catching fish from the sea, and by virtue of the superior geographical location of Qi State, the fish and salt products are sold to surrounding countries to improve the finances of Qi State.

It is also from the time of Guan Zhong that the economic structure of 'industry and commerce as the lifeblood of the economy' has since become the economic policy adopted by the royal family of Qi in successive dynasties, including the later Tianqi royal family, and even the current Liu Qi king.

——Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

For the vassal states with almost complete autonomy, as long as they don't provoke any anger between heaven and man, and the anger of people and gods, it is a black cat and a white cat, and no one can find fault with how to make money.

Nowadays, the geographical location of Wu State, although it is farther south than Qi State, and the degree of development is much lower, but the geographical characteristics of 'Linhai' are exactly the same.

If you think about it, I'm afraid that even the length of the coastline is not much different from that of Qi and Wu.

From this point of view, it is undoubtedly quite a good proposal for Wu to replicate the rise of Qi and develop with the 'offshore fishing industry'.

In particular, the one who proposed this simplicity was the 'remnant of the Mo family' who was born in the territory of Qi State, and the contemporary son of the Mo family: Yang Li.

It's just ······

"Strengthening Wu with fishing is indeed a feasible strategy."

"But I haven't known yet: Qi Mo's eloquent man actually knows and understands the affairs of people's livelihood?"

As if teasing, and as if jokingly asking a question, Liu Ying raised her head with a light smile and looked at Yang Li's already somewhat cramped face.

Only a moment later, Yang Li also adjusted from the embarrassment that flashed, laughed at himself, and bowed his hand to Liu Ying slightly.

"Your Majesty's words are really ashamed of the ministers and the people of the Momen······"

"Since the time of the ancestor Mozi, the people of our Mo family have taken it as their responsibility to make the people rich in food and clothing, the country and the people in the world, and never to start a war again, so that the avenue is their own responsibility."

"Although since Zi Mozi, my Mo family has three points, each into Qi, Chu, and Qin, but what the Mo branch has learned will never leave its sect."

As he spoke, Yang Li's face couldn't help but become a little serious, and his temperament suddenly brought a sense of sacred mission for no apparent reason.

"And the sage of the pipe is my Momen, and I also revere it; The pipe is whatever Qi Xiang does, and I Qi Mo, an eloquent person, should also study one or two ······"

Seeing Yang Liruo talking about 'Wu Mo Gate' and 'Wu Qi Mo eloquent man' without others, Yang Chengyan's face suddenly tightened, and when he looked at Liu Ying, he was even more faintly frightened!

However, when Liu Ying heard this, she still had an indifferent look with a smile, and when she heard Yang Li mention Guan Zhong, she couldn't help but nod her head in agreement.

It is different from the stereotype of 'Huaxia only Confucius is a saint, Meng Ke is a sub-saint, and Xunqing is a post-saint' in the impression of later generations: in today's Han Dynasty, the above three Confucian sages are still not related to the word 'saint' at all.

Among them, the Later Shengqing Xunzi, although he enjoyed a high academic status in the Han Dynasty, was not recognized by mainstream academic public opinion for the time being because of the 'sexual evil theory' he proposed;

Although Mencius advocated the theory of sexual goodness, his thinking placed too much emphasis on benevolence, righteousness and morality, especially on 'propriety';

Coupled with the fatal saying of 'the people are noble and the king is light', it makes all the doctrines of this school always wander on the edge of 'great rebellion' and jump horizontally repeatedly.

Even in later generations, Confucius, who was revered by the world as a 'sage without fault', was actually not very respected by the mainstream academic circles of the Han dynasty.

In today's Han Dynasty, for Confucius, a scholar born in Confucianism, he can be called Confucius;

The giants of the Huang Lao School can also be called Zhongni in a friendly way: Zhongni.

But in the mouths of Legalists and Mohists, I am afraid that even the contemptuous title of 'Confucius' will seem so polite;

As for the people in power in the Han family, especially in the mouth of the former emperor Liu Bang, let alone Confucius, even if the entire Confucianism is tied together, that is, the life of the emperor Taizu to make a urinal·······

Since Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, who are generally recognized by later generations, are not considered 'saints', who is qualified to be recognized as 'saints' in today's Han dynasty?

The answer is: Shang Minister Yi Yin, Zhou Gong Ji Dan, and, Qi Xiang in the Spring and Autumn Period - Guan Zhong!

And among these three people, the one with the highest historical status and the most worthy of the honorific title of 'saint' is undoubtedly the first protagonist of 'Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, Wang Mang is humble and not usurped' in the impression of later generations: Zhou Gong Ji Dan.

Therefore, when an official from the Mo family praised Guan Zhong as a 'sage' in front of Liu Ying, the son of the Han Dynasty, it may seem a little strange, but in fact, it is a very common thing.

Gai is different from the 'Confucian sage' of Confucius and Meng, as well as the 'post-sage' of Xunzi, Guan Zhong, Yi Yin, and Ji Dan, which are recognized and praised by the entire Chinese academic community and the hundred schools of thought.

For these three people, whether it is Mojia, Legalism, Confucianism, peasants, or the ruling school of the Han dynasty today: Huang Laoxue, they are all given extremely high respect and unimaginably high status.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the two sworn enemies of Confucianism and Mo will inevitably reach an agreement in the discussion of 'Guan Zhong, Yi Yin, and Zhou Gong are all sages', and there is no doubt.

But even so, Liu Ying still didn't want to believe that Yang Li, a Qi Mo scholar who was born in a famous family, pampered and pampered, and had followed his father to learn 'eloquence learning' since he was a child, would really have any specific and profound insights into the offshore fishing industry.

- No matter what Liu Ying thinks, this work of weaving fishing nets and building sea boats is obviously more like what Qin Mo Luban should do!

I don't know if it was from Liu Ying's gaze, seeing the suspicion that 'I don't believe that those who play tricks will also do their own work', Yang Li was silent for a long time, and finally smiled.

Regarding Liu Ying's distrust in his ability to do the work of Qin Mo craftsmen and others, Yang Li was naturally a little depressed;

But at the same time, this also made Yang Li more deeply aware that as a great son of the Mo family, he may still have too many shadows of 'Qi Mo eloquents'.

And for Yang Li, and even the future Mo family: a giant who seems to only be able to play tricks, but doesn't know what it means to 'strengthen the country with industry', is undoubtedly a huge disaster······

"Hmmm······"

"In the future, you should pay more attention to ······"

"Could it be that Your Majesty made me serve as the Shanglin Order, and moved the Shaofu Divisions into Shanglin, also out of this concern?"

Thinking to himself, Yang Li finally lowered his head silently and kept this matter firmly in his heart.

It was only at this time that Yang Chengyan raised his head with a slightly shy smile, and bowed his hand to Liu Ying with a slightly evasive gaze.

"Your Majesty."

"The minister has a word, but he doesn't know ······"

"But it doesn't hurt to be outspoken."

With permission, Yang Chengyan grinned slightly, but between his eyebrows, he became more and more inexplicably apprehensive.

After pondering for a long time, and finally making up his mind, he saw Yang Chengyan let out a short sigh, and then raised his head.

"Your Majesty has ever heard that when the King of Qin was in power, Langya County of Qi offered a man of art to enter Xianyang to deal with the Qin Wangzheng;"

"His name says: Xu Junfang?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ying's pupils only shrank suddenly, even if she didn't jump up immediately, her hands were subconsciously supported on the royal couch under her!

As for Yang Li, who was kneeling at the bottom of Yangchengyan, his color changed when he heard the words, and he looked Yangchengyan up and down with a look at a monster.

- Qi people Xu Junfang!

Throughout the life of the First Emperor Yingzheng, if there is any character who is the most legendary, it is undoubtedly this Fang Shi who enjoys a high reputation in the coastal area of Kanto to bear the brunt!

For future generations, the name 'Xu Junfang' may still be a little eye-catching.

But if the word "Junfang" is directly replaced by a name, then even for future generations, it will inevitably be like thunder.

- Xu Fu!

"When Langya County offered Xu Junfang to Xianyang, the minister had not yet entered Xianyang;"

"I have only heard people say: Xu Junfang, a Qi person, is erudite and talented, knows the art of witch doctors, knows everything about astronomy and geography, and is even more legendary, and has been taught by Wang Xu (xǔ), a master of Zongheng ······."

Without waiting for Liu Ying and Yang Li to recover from their previous shock, Yang Chengyan said indifferently, which made the two of them grow their mouths in shock.

In the history of China, there may be many people who can be called 'vertical and horizontal';

But at the same time, there is only one person who includes the two conditions of 'Zongheng Family' and 'Clan King's Name'.

——Founder of Zonghengjia and founder of Guigu School: Guiguzi!!

"Hiss ······"

"I have heard for a long time that Xu Fu was born in a wealthy family, and he learned from everyone."

"Only in the past, I didn't know that this Xu Fu was out of Guiguzi's ???"

Shocked, Liu Ying only subconsciously opened her mouth to exclaim, and even forgot to use pronouns like 'Xu Junfang' and 'Wang Xu'.

It was Yang Li on the side, who was also turning sideways with enthusiastic eyes at this moment, staring directly at Yang Chengyan, and didn't dare to blink his eyelids.

Fang Shi Xu Fu, Guiguzi Wang Xu;

Such a name, even for today's Han family, even for Liu Ying, a traverser, seems so mysterious and attractive.

I don't know how long it took to look at Yang Li face to face, but Liu Ying finally recovered from the shock.

Then, seeing Liu Ying sitting up straight solemnly, her face couldn't help but be straight, and she made a 'please' gesture to Yang Chengyan, and quietly waited for Yang Chengyan's next step.

At this point, Yang Chengyan, who had already been thrown out of the conversation, could only be a little more courageous in the end, and continued to talk about the dusty past, and the order was placed in front of Liu Ying and Yang Li.

"In the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King Qin, Xu Fu was ordered by the king to take 1,500 boys and girls each, and he used three-year-old grain, rice, clothes and shoes, and herbs to go east to the East China Sea to find immortals."

"In order to make Xu Fu's trip not hindered by the waves, wind and rain, Qin Shaofu once built a giant boat more than 100 zhang long, 30 zhang wide, and dozens of zhang high, and Qin Wangzheng personally ordered its name, saying: Mirage."

"However, Xu Fu first came out of the East China Sea, but he never found the fairy mountain, and he spent a lot of money, and finally returned in vain······"

Speaking of which, even if he was a little worried about the topic of 'Qianqin', Yang Chengyan's eyes couldn't help but bring a little sadness.

It's not because Xu Fu didn't find the fairy mountain;

It is those ordinary people who can only be forced to hand over their family's grain, rice, money, and even children in order to let Xu Fu go to sea to seek immortals······

There was a moment of silence with a sad expression, and then Yang Cheng sighed for a long time before raising his head again.

"Xu Fu did not gain anything from his first trip, even though the Qin court was dissatisfied, but hindered the Qin Wangzheng and favored Xu Fu, and finally did not dare to speak."

"In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Qin, Wang Zheng felt that his life would not be long in coming, so he tried his best to dispel public opinion, and then sent Xu Fudong to the sea to find immortals, in order to seek the elixir of immortality."

"Qin Ting's efforts to stop him failed, and he had to obey the order in the end; With Xu Fudong's boys and girls, money, grain, cloth, cattle and sheep sacrifices are all doubled, and Qin Shaofu rebuilt the giant boat 'mirage' three. ”

However, within a few months of Xu Fu's departure from the East China Sea, Qin Wangzheng died in the sand dunes; Xu Fu has never returned, and his whereabouts are still unknown······"

Listening to Yang Chengyan's narration, Liu Ying and Yang Li couldn't help but lose their minds, and they were deeply caught in this unknown legend, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

In the end, it was Yang Chengyan's seemingly casual words that made Liu Ying take the lead in relieving himself again, and pulled the scattered thoughts back to the Xuanshu Hall in front of him again.

"When Xu Fuer went out of the East China Sea, Qin Shaofu suffered from the shortage of craftsmen, so he recruited craftsmen from all over the world to enter Xianyang to build a giant boat mirage."

"At that time, the minister was also called by Qin Shaofu to build the 'mirage' of the giant boat······"

Hearing this, Liu Yingcai finally relieved his mind completely from the legend of 'Xu Fu Donghai Seeking Immortals', and finally understood why Yang Chengyan mentioned this matter.

"Giant Boat 'Mirage' ·······"

"Yes."

A slight murmur provoked Yang Chengyan to nod hurriedly.

"This giant boat mirage was specially built by Qin Shaofu for Xu Fudong to go out of the East China Sea, and its strength and its huge are rare in ancient times."

"Today, although the atlas of the 'mirage' has been extinct in the world, Ranchen, and many craftsmen in Shaofu have worked at that time, and they deserve to be three or four in the 'mirage'."

"If Your Majesty wants to make King Wu catch sea fish and raise his people, then the boat of sea fishing may be tried by the craftsmen of Shaofu."

After saying that, Yang Chengyan did not forget to add carefully: "If Your Majesty agrees, the envoy will lead the craftsmen of the Shaofu Good Boat to Wudi, and then transfer the skilled craftsmen of Qi and Chu, and they will be better at ······."

Hearing this, Liu Ying finally nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Yang Chengyan and Yang Li's eyes, with a different color.

- Offshore fishing, it is indeed feasible.

But even under the premise of monopolizing the grain market in Guanzhong and letting Shaofu monopolize the world's salt and iron market in the future that is visible to the naked eye, Liu Ying still doesn't want Liu Bi to eat the fat meat of 'offshore fishing' alone······

"I know."

"Wuhou will go back to his house, and he will plan a detailed plan according to the matter of building the boat, and it will be discussed in the court in a few days."

"Remember: the money, food, labor, and boatmanship needed to build the boat should be listed in detail."

With a low tone, Liu Ying got up from the couch and walked straight towards the apse.

- Because just now, Liu Ying thought of a very wonderful and exciting thing.

Liu Ying was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would laugh out loud in front of Yang Chengyan and Yang Li······
