Chapter 20: Can the young master know hundreds of schools of thought?
Sitting on the table, Li Nian thought about what to do next. Now that he has initially gained Ying Zheng's trust and the survival problem has been solved for the time being, what should he do next?
First of all, the potatoes that Boss Jiangzheng values most must be grown well, but is the climate in Daqin this season suitable for growing potatoes? Is the land near Xianyang suitable for potato growth?
There is a time gap of more than two thousand years between Daqin and modern times. The climate environment is different from modern times. Therefore, crops that can be grown in a certain season and area in modern times may not be grown in Daqin. During the Ice Age, the climate was cold. Could the crops grown in the same season be the same as today?
We must first understand the climate and soil environment of Daqin,
If Li Nian had a lot of potatoes on hand, he could plant them with confidence, but he only had two, so he had to be careful and take all factors into consideration as much as possible.
This problem is not difficult to solve. You can ask the farmers in Xianyang for advice. They farm all year round and must understand the land and weather conditions of Da Qin.
‘Chili peppers are treated in the same way as potatoes. First understand which season and soil in Daqin are suitable for planting. ’
Li Nian subconsciously wanted to find paper and pen to write down his thoughts, but he immediately realized that Da Qin’s paper had to wait for him to make it.
‘By the way, there is also papermaking. Papermaking requires space and a batch of tools must be made first. ’
Li Nian has browsed many videos of ancient papermaking in the search engine. The process is not difficult, at least it doesn't look difficult, but it requires tools, and where in Daqin can there be tools for papermaking?
‘We have to trouble the Shaofu’s craftsmen about the tools! '
The handicraft industry of the Qin Dynasty was under the unified management of the Shaofu. The Shaofu was responsible for the unified coordination and management of various handicraft production activities, including but not limited to the mining and smelting of metals, the casting of coins, the production of vehicles, weapons, appliances, etc. .
The Qin Dynasty also implemented the Wule Gongming system, which means that the name of the producer, production date, production organization, official name, etc. are engraved on the produced utensils to facilitate traceability of product quality and responsibility.
This management method ensured the standardization and standardization of handicraft production in the Qin Dynasty, improved product quality and efficiency, and provided strong support to the Qin army especially during wars with other countries.
'I almost forgot, there is also a plow. I can also draw it and let the craftsmen of the Shaofu do it. I will do these for now, and the rest I should think about how to improve my quality of life. ’
‘I have contributed so much to Da Qin, what’s wrong with me enjoying it? ’
Li Nian’s mind came up with a line from Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty: ‘Da Qin’s iron smelting technology seems to be pretty good. Can we make an iron pot? '
For more than half a month in Da Qin, the food we ate was either boiled or grilled. Although the ingredients were all natural and green, you would get tired of eating too much, and the condiments of this era were far inferior to later generations.
‘You also have to get a set of tables, chairs and benches, and sit on your knees all day long, who can bear it? ’
In fact, as long as you master the correct method, it will not be uncomfortable to sit upright. But as a modern person, why should we kneel when we can sit comfortably?
‘We will not make flush toilets for the time being. We will wait until the paper is made for the First Emperor to use. ’
After some thought, Li Nian asked someone to get bamboo slips and ink, write a request, and send it to Ying Zheng for approval.
If the political boss doesn’t give it a pass, all the ideas will be useless.
Soon, Ying Zheng received the bamboo slips. After reading them, he said: "Li Nian is very methodical in doing things. He is not doing things on a whim. I have all agreed on the above matters. I have sent an edict to the young minister, and ordered He must cooperate with Li Nian without any violation!”
The next day, before anyone from the Shaofu came, Su Xu arrived first. Even though he was already in Liuying Palace and even sitting in front of that person, Su Xu was still a little surprised.
It’s only been a day, right?
The man he was responsible for teaching suddenly transformed into a young master!
What happened yesterday?
What is the relationship between this person and the king?
At first, he thought this person was a barbarian, but luckily he didn't show it directly.
Thinking of this, Su Xu thought to himself, "What a danger!", and then he was filled with joy and excitement. He was teaching a young master.
Although this young master was ordered by the king to be treated with the courtesy of a young master and was not a real young master, it still shows that the king valued this person.
This person will definitely become a pillar of Great Qin in the future!
And now that he has the honor to teach this person, is there anything he can do?
Su Xu thought that Chunyu Yue, who was also a Confucianist like him, was teaching the young master Fusu. If he also influenced this man with Confucianism...
A Qin king who was deeply influenced by their Confucianism , and there is another important minister of the Qin Dynasty who is also influenced by Confucianism. Can the Qin Dynasty still be their Confucian world?
It's just a pity that this person is a little older. It would be more beneficial to teach him if he met him when he was young, but it's not too late now.
After careful consideration, Su Xu felt that his idea was feasible, so he asked: "Does the master know hundreds of schools of thought?"
When Su Xu thought about it, this man couldn't even speak well at first. He didn't know where he came from in the countryside. How could he know all the schools of thought?
Hearing Su Xu's question, Li Nian thought about it and realized that this person probably took a fancy to his status as a young master and wanted to use Confucianism to influence him.
Su Xu was waiting for Li Nian to answer "I don't know!", but what he didn't expect was that Li Nian replied: "I know! The person Su Xu asked should be 'the various schools of thought', the various scholars, Lao Tzu, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, Confucius, Guiguzi, Hanfeizi..."
"One hundred schools of thought, Taoism, Mohism , Legalists, Farmers, Physicians, Yin-Yang Schools, Famous Masters, Miscellaneous Masters, Novelists, Politicians, Military Strategists, Confucianists..."
"The Masters are the most famous and representative people among a hundred, and some of them are Zi Geng was the founder of the school to which he belonged, so there is a saying of "all schools of thought".
Su Xu was stunned when he heard what Li Nian said like a treasure from his family. How could this person know so clearly?
He originally wanted to take advantage of this person's ignorance of the flaws of various schools of thought, raise the status of Confucianism among the hundreds of schools of thought, talk about the advantages of Confucianism, and arouse his interest in Confucianism.
Su Xu believed that as long as this person became interested in Confucianism, he would be influenced, and there was no better way to govern the country than Confucianism.
Unexpectedly, this person knew about it, so the plan had to be changed. Su Xu asked again: "Since you know hundreds of schools of thought, how can you know who among them has the most profound knowledge and the highest virtue?"
'You don't even plan to act anymore, are you just going to play straight? It is in line with the temperament of people in this era. Those who are talented should recommend themselves. This is how this idiom comes from! ’
Su Xu was waiting for Li Nian to say "I don't know!" or casually name one of the scholars who was not Confucius, but to his surprise, Li Nian didn't answer his question at all. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Master Su, could it be that he wanted to say that among the scholars, he was not Confucius?" "Confucius has the deepest knowledge and the highest virtues?"
Su Xu was immediately stuck. Although he really thought so, when Li Nian said it directly, Su Xu still had some thoughts that could be seen through. shame.
