How to plow thousands of miles for the first emperor's cub Section 172
After hearing this, Zhu Xiang lamented that Confucianism has gradually integrated into the doctrines of other schools.
Confucianism believed that the small-scale peasant economy of men and women was also part of good customs, and they also accepted Guan Zhong's idea that he needed food and clothing before he knew etiquette, so he attached great importance to farming.
Due to geographical reasons, most of the common people in Chu did not cultivate their own fields very intensively.
When the Ming Dynasty entered Southern Chu, Southern Chu was even more of a wild land, and some small tribal countries even made a living from fishing and hunting.
Therefore, what the Confucian disciples who followed the Ming Dynasty did when they traveled around the country was not just talking about lecturing, but more to persuade the peasants to reclaim the land and cultivate and weave, and settle down into villages.
Only then will they be able to spread their ideas.
Ideas have always been inseparable from the economy.
Although the Confucian disciples in the north were in the midst of war, they were also considered a "civilized society", unlike the Confucian disciples of Southern Chu who needed to "reclaim the famine". Therefore, the Confucian disciples of Southern Chu acted more freely and bravely.
With the help of this group of Southern Chu Confucian disciples who knew the local aborigines very well, Zhu Xiang's work efficiency improved a lot, and he finally had the opportunity to write.
He didn't want to build a mythological system on his own.
Myths have to be rooted in generations, so compared to later generations who have too many mysteries in their heads, it is still the people of this era who can rate and classify the gods they worship.
Zhu Xiang guessed that Xunzi might help.
Confucianism is the most sacrificial, Xunzi sees that he is messing around, he should clean up this mess for himself, right?
When Zhu Xiang thought of this, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He had already predicted how he would be beaten when he returned to Xianyang.
Xunzi's ring ruler really hurts.
After Zhu Xiang threw it to King Qin, he didn't plan to take care of it. He only does what he is good at, such as writing fantasy.
He has been baptized by so many illusions, it is easy to write a legend of mortals killing evil gods.
Whenever Zhu Xiang picked up the lamp to write, Ying Xiaozheng sat on a high chair, supported his chin with both hands, and shook his little feet, waiting for Zhu Xiang to tell him a story after writing a short section.
My uncle always had a lot of interesting stories, and these interesting stories gave him a glimpse of the truth of governing the country and the people.
However, my uncle probably didn't realize this himself, and just wanted to write a personal story about his victory.
After writing a small book of Zhu Xiang's story, the families in Chudi took the initiative to come to the door.
However, before they had time to exert their strength, the Xianyang Academy Palace and the Confucian disciples of Southern Chu had already taken out the stories they had expanded from the classics.
If you want to talk about the story of mortals beheading gods, there are too many classics. First of all, for example, the battle of the deer, isn't this the battle of the gods?
Even in the local mythology of the Chu Kingdom, which worships ghosts and gods, there are some stories of ghosts and gods who are too much and are killed by the warriors of the Chu State.
Chu Guoren: Do you think I don't kill gods?
The people of the Seven Kingdoms are the same, and no one should laugh at anyone. Who hasn't killed a god?
Because Li Mu is now only cleaning the former Southern Chu land south of Eyi that has not yet returned to the Qin State, this place was also given up when the King of Chu and the nobles gave up Eyi, so the King of Chu and the great nobles of Chu are now very leisurely.
The king of Chu had one more interest in collecting. In particular, it was written by Zhu Xianggong, and he liked it the most.
Chun Shenjun also had an extra job to discuss with the King of Chu every day, and the two got together to discuss a lot, just like those middle school students who studied overnight in later generations.
After reading another story, the king of Chu said to Chun Shenjun: "This king should also be enshrined as a god!" ”
Chun Shenjun arched his hand: "What the king said is extremely true!" ”
The king of Chu summoned the nobles to a banquet and mentioned the matter of enclosing the gods.
This time, the great nobles all went to the banquet and agreed to the proposal of the king of Chu.
They also looked at Zhu Xianggong's. The ancestors can kill the gods, what does it matter if they are crowned gods in later generations? What's more, they just stipulate the sacrificial level, which is not considered transgression.
I heard that the King of Qin wanted to seal the gods of the world, but they were not so rampant, couldn't they seal the gods of their own country?
Not to mention the King of Chu, the monarchs of the other five countries also thought so.
After multiple blows, King Zhao sat up in shock in his dying illness and asked the old Plains Monarch about the gods.
Most of the gods of the Central Plains are in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and they should be the most concerned about the matter of sacrificing the gods, and they should not let the Qin State take the lead.
The most important thing in the state is to sacrifice and fight. Although Hirahara-kun was already sick, he also got up from the hospital bed to prepare for the matter.
While he was doing things, he found it difficult to find colleagues to help him do it.
In the past, Pingyuan Jun only needed to recommend talents to King Zhao, and his own talents helped to do things. Now he looked around in a daze, and found that he could only rely on himself and a few clans that were not confused.
When did Zhao Guo's talent wither like this?
Pingyuanjun wiped his tears twice, gritted his teeth and continued to process the paperwork while holding his sick body.
Zhao made a force, and other Central Plains countries were not to be outdone. They gathered their ministers one after another to formulate a strategy for official sacrifices.
Although they don't all use the phrase "enshrined gods", their practices are much the same. Zhu Xiang's letter to the King of Qin was taken from the Xianyang School Palace to all parts of the Six Kingdoms without knowing when, and it was copied by others.
Zhu Xiang's crusade against the gods in Yunmengze also spread. The kings of various countries have followed suit, showing that their position as kings is recognized by God by cutting down mountains and destroying temples.
Later feudal dynasties continued this tradition, and after that, there was even the rise of actions to destroy Buddhism, destroy Taoism, and destroy foreign religions.
Some people say that Zhu Xiang is to break feudal superstition, and some people say that Zhu Xiang is violating freedom of belief. Each has its own reason, and no one can convince anyone.
However, the debate on the correctness of some of Zhu Xiang's actions has become a separate science, and the Chinese people have not understood this for 2,000 years.
With a lot of helpers, and Li Mu and Meng Wu constantly sending prisoners of war to reclaim the famine and exterminate the snails, Zhu Xiang was busy for half a year, and finally handed over the follow-up to the others, and took Ying Xiaozheng to Hubei to rest.
Li Bing has returned to Shu County, Zhang Ruo has also re-removed his armor and returned to the county guard, and Meng Wu continues to guard Yunmengze.
Li Mu prepared a large mansion in Eyi, and also made a small river for Ying Xiaozheng with living water filtered by stones and sand, saying that he would teach Ying Xiaozheng water warfare.
In his spare time, Zhu Xiang roamed the streets and alleys to pretend to be a storyteller, while Li Mu held Ying Xiaozheng in the audience as a reward for him.
And so it was the autumn harvest of the year.
Chapter 98: Meat slices poured over the pot
Zhu Xiang did not plant many acres of regenerated rice in Shu County, but he standardized the rice planting process, built a lot of irrigation water, solved several pests and diseases, and rice was more productive than millet, and Shu County did not encounter floods this year, so this time Shu County obtained three times the grain harvest of previous years.
The people of Shu County thought that this was a miracle, but after Zhu Xiang heard the news, he only smiled bitterly.
Ying Xiaozheng stuck to the arm of his wry-smiling uncle, patted his uncle in an old-fashioned manner, and comforted his uncle silently.
Ying Xiaozheng has discovered that his uncle is inexplicably very demanding in some things.
Shu County alone has tripled the increase in land taxes, and the increase in grain production has increased at least three times, everyone thinks that this is a miracle, but my uncle is obviously not only dissatisfied, but also feels a little sad.
It was as if my uncle had seen a better situation and thought that he should have done more, so he was very dissatisfied with the current situation.
My uncle often showed this weak expression.
Obviously, my uncle has caused a lot of miracles, but my uncle still thinks that he has not achieved anything.
Ying Xiaozheng once wanted to comfort his uncle, but he found that his uncle would self-regulate and return to an optimistic appearance, and then clenched his fists and smiled and said, "I have done my best" and "It's good to make progress."
Therefore, my uncle knew that he had done his best and made achievements, and there was no cognitive error, and he did not need others to comfort him.
At this time, I just need to accompany my uncle quietly and wait for my uncle to self-regulate.
Zhu Xiang did fall into a sense of powerlessness for a short time, as Ying Xiaozheng understood.
He's been working hard.
As a professor of agriculture, he is one of the more capable even if he looks at many travelers.
He has a system and can come up with good seeds; He has the nephew of the first emperor cub and the best friend of Zichu, who is valued and trusted by the king of Qin, and can do a lot of things; Li Bing, the county guard of Shu County, was also his friend, and even handed over the county guard's matters about farming to him, and his measures could be implemented in Shu County unimpeded.
The farmers are very diligent, and this year is still good.
Whether it is himself or the external environment, he has done it to the extreme. But with his knowledge of 2,000 years later, and the superior conditions that even ordinary travelers can't reproduce, he only triples the yield of the land 2,000 years ago.
That's all.
This triple is a miracle for people now, but for the "long river of history", I am afraid it will not have much impact. That's his limit right now.
Zhu Xiang also quickly adjusted himself as Ying Xiaozheng thought and returned to his optimistic appearance.
Although it is insignificant to triple the current amount of food and stretch it over the course of history, for the people of today, it may be saved from a famine.
Although he is a time-traveler with a golden finger, he can only achieve so much success even if he works hard to the extreme, and feels powerless and frustrated, but he has indeed helped many people.
It was enough for him to have many people saved from hunger in front of him.
Zhu Xiang reminded himself not to put himself in the position of a time-traveler and savior with a golden finger, as long as he positioned himself as an ordinary person in this era, then what he is doing now is enough to make him proud.
When the good seeds he brings can grow more seeds, combined with the current seeds, the seeds that are suitable for the present and will not deteriorate too much, and the grain yield will increase.
Fourfold? Five-fold? As long as it can be upgraded to before there are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, such as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, people's lives will be much better now.
After that, we can only count on posterity.
Although it may still take 2,000 years for the next increase in grain production, if these two thousand years are fixed at the extreme of what can be achieved in the feudal era, many people will benefit.
Zhu Xiang took a deep breath and rubbed Ying Xiaozheng's head with a smile: "It's a bumper harvest, it's good." When your Uncle Li Bing's water-dividing dam is repaired, there will be an even greater harvest in the Chengdu Plain. ”
Ying Xiaozheng nodded and said, "I don't eat noodles today, I want to eat rice." ”
Zhu Xiang rolled up his sleeves: "Okay, uncle will make you a rice feast." ”
Ying Xiaozheng jumped down from the chair: "I want to eat sweet!" ”
Zhu Xiang said: "Eat less sweets, you are about to change your teeth." Alas, why haven't you changed your teeth yet? ”
Ying Xiaozheng immediately pursed his lips and glared at his uncle in displeasure.
I don't want to change my teeth!
Zhu Xiang was amused by Ying Xiaozheng's resentful little expression, and was kicked on the calf by his fat nephew, who finally raised the meat back.
Ying Xiaozheng's expression and movements are very vicious, worthy of his name as a future tyrant. However, he always kicks very lightly, and the older he gets, the more he relieves his strength.
When he was a child, he would really hit Zhu Xiang's waist with a brute bull rush, and he never hurt Zhu Xiang again when he grew up.
Although Li Bing didn't come over, he brought a lot of new millet to Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng to satisfy their hunger, most of which were rice harvested from Zhu Xiang's brought.
Obviously, the new rice planted by Zhu Xiang not only yields better, but also tastes better.
To promote rice, it is essential to improve hulling tools.
