Chapter 13 Cihang Jing Zhai!
The Ten Strategies, mainly the strategy of governing the country, involve a century-old plan, and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.
Liu Xiu also dedicated papermaking and printing, which are the foundation of universal education; Then there was the dedication of telescopes and visual telegraphs.
The visual telegraph, which sounds lofty, is actually just a matter of thinking, without the slightest technical difficulty—the visual telegraph system invented by the French in the eighteenth century. On the top of the wooden pillar, there are three crossbars, showing nine numbers, and a string of numbers represents a certain character.
A communication pole is set up every thirty miles to display different numbers, and a soldier uses a telescope to observe the numbers displayed on the crossbar, record them, and then use the crossbar to display the corresponding numbers; The soldiers, who were thirty miles away, saw it with a telescope, recorded it, and continued to teleport thirty miles away.
There is no technical difficulty in manually relaying the telescope for transmission.
All you need is a teleportation rod, a telescope, a codebook, etc.
What may have happened in Jiangnan was transmitted to Chang'an, and if it was transmitted by a fast horse, it would take ten days to reach it, and it would only take an hour to rely on a reliable visual telegraph. The disadvantage is that it is cloudy and rainy, and the line of sight is not good, so it cannot be transmitted.
"Sir, it's a great talent!" Listening to the four major technologies, Fu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, especially the visual telegraph, the advantage was even greater, and he immediately wanted to give Liu Xiu an official position.
But Liu Xiu refused.
It takes seven days to burn the jade, and it takes seven years to distinguish talents!
The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, only one emperor could be loyal and belonged to a buyer's market; But now, there are many, many emperors, and they belong to a seller's market. Many talents have a lot of choices, as the so-called here does not keep the master, there is a place to keep the master, everywhere does not keep the master, so the grandfather is stumped!
"As for steelmaking, explosives, hot air balloons, etc., the impact is too great, so let's keep one hand!"
At the moment of leaving, Liu Xiu couldn't help but think of it.
In this era, ironmaking technology was poor, mainly pig iron, and steel production was limited. The battle armor is mainly leather armor, vine armor is the mainstay, and iron armor is scarce. Iron armor is also mainly fish scale armor, with limited defense. In the army, only a few elite armies have armor, and most of the troops are unarmoured.
He has steel-making technology, which can smelt steel on a large scale, so that the price of steel is low to the limit, and he can make hundreds of thousands of troops wear plate armor, and his defense power is greatly increased, and it is extremely light.
As for explosives, the so-called black powder is nothing at all, and the so-called picric acid, nitroacid cotton explosives, TNT explosives, etc., can also be manufactured. Due to the lack of industrial technology, the cost of manufacturing may be larger, and it may be much inferior in quality and power, but it is enough to blow up any city wall.
And when the smelting of steel and the maturity of gunpowder are mature, they can create field artillery, bombard and kill cavalry, and break through the enemy's infantry array.
It can also create hot air balloons, airships, etc., and can form an air force bombing unit and an air force transport team. Imagine how powerful it would be for the air force to stand on a hot air balloon and drop explosives to bombard the enemy's large formation, or bombard the defenders in the city.
In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, limiting the radius of the army's attack, but with the airship can transport dozens of tons, hundreds of tons of food, and the speed also exceeds the transportation of chariots and horses, the impact on the war can be described as huge.
Hot air balloons, airships, etc., the difficulty of technical manufacturing is almost zero, and there is not much technical difficulty.
It's just that Liu Xiu doesn't plan to launch these technologies, the harm is too great, so let's keep it!
…………
In the room, Fu Jian's expression was uncertain, some surprised, some shocked.
At this time, the screen opened, Wang Meng walked out, and coughed: "Your Majesty, you can be satisfied!" ”
"Very satisfied!" Fu Jian said: "It's just that he's too arrogant!" ”
"If you are not afraid of arrogance, you are afraid of incompetence." Wang Meng said: "People's hearts are chaotic, which is the root of the turmoil in the world. The ten strategies he said are a hundred-year plan, which will take a hundred years, and you can't be impatient, once you are impatient, the situation will collapse! ”
Fu Jian said: "Which of the ten strategies should I start with?" ”
Wang Meng said: "Establish a system of three provinces and six ministries to stabilize the foundation of Guanzhong!" ”
A king and a prime minister talked about it again, talking about specific implementation strategies.
"Then why did he refuse to enter Qin as an official?" At the end, Fu Jian asked.
Wang Meng said: "The king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king, he is not optimistic about my Great Qin, and thinks that my Qin Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Qin Shi Huang, even if the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, even if it is to dominate the world, the national fortune will not exceed fifty years, and it may be the second to die!" ”
…………
entered Guanzhong, but did not join the Qin State.
Liu Xiu was observing, observing Qin State, and observing Fu Jian.
Historically, Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Weishui, and the Qiang and Xianbei who had been subjugated rose up one after another to attack the former Qin, and after holding out for ten years, the former Qin was destroyed.
But Liu Xiu felt that even if Fu Jian won the Battle of Weishui, defeated the Jin Dynasty, and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, he would not be able to change his fate. Territory is not bigger is better, the key is the ability to control, and the ability to control depends on transportation, communications, and bureaucratic execution.
In the pre-Qin era, transportation was inconvenient, communication was inconvenient, and there was a shortage of officials, which led to the fact that the former Qin seemed to unify the north, with strong power and many soldiers and horses, but in fact, it was only the central land that was really controlled. As for other areas, it is equivalent to a post-contract method, which is contracted to the Qiang, Di, Xianbei, and even Han gentry.
As long as the local people do not rebel, they send soldiers and food on time, and the local governments will manage them.
This mode of rule makes the rule of the former Qin superficial, the foundation is not solid, and if it is always victorious, it may be subjugated from all sides; But as long as there is a big defeat, the whole world is against it.
Liu Xiu was observing Guanzhong and Fu Jian...... And Fu Jian seems to have forgotten about him, or Fu Jian is very busy and has no time to pay attention to him as a small person. And Liu Xiu also forgot the profession of the emperor, and began to wander around, admiring the mountains and rivers in Guanzhong.
Walking and walking, Liu Xiu climbed Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhongnan Mountain, in later generations, is the dojo of the Quanzhen Sect, but in today's era, there are many temples on Zhongnan Mountain, and one by one temples stand there, becoming a different scenery in Guanzhong. Looking at the temples one by one, Liu Xiu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of destroying the Buddha.
"Three Martial Artists Destroying Buddhas" refers to the collective name of the three events of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty. The names or temple numbers of these incumbents all have a martial character. If the destruction of the Buddha during the Later Zhou Shizong is added, it is collectively called "the destruction of the Buddha by the three martial arts and one sect".
It's just that in an instant, Liu Xiu broke his mind.
Taoism belongs to the emperor and the nobility; Confucianism belongs to the scholars and the gentry; But the temple belongs to the people, to the mortals.
Studying and becoming an official is too far away from the people; As for ascending to immortals, it is also far away from the people. There is only a temple, which is very close to the people. People can't live without spiritual food, and if they don't, they will live a miserable life. In other words, those scholars, those nobles, are for the sake of great wealth and wealth, but the people are just to live, to go further, to live a little happier!
It is easy to destroy the Buddha statues in the temple, but it can destroy the Buddha in the hearts of the people!
Buddhism can only be reformed, not destroyed.
In a trance, Liu Xiu walked between the mountain peaks and saw a nunnery with four words written on it: "Cihang Jingzhai!" ”
