Chapter 207 Planning for the Future
Li Nian took out the world map for another purpose - to remind some people again.
The world outside is so vast. If you don’t want to serve the Qin Dynasty and don’t want to see the compilation of teaching materials affecting your school, you can try to develop overseas.
When you go overseas, no one will restrict you from studying communication theory. You can play whatever you want.
But if you are neither willing to go overseas nor cooperate with Da Qin, and deliberately make it difficult for Li...
Since you guys don't know what to do, Li has no choice but to talk to you about "fists and kicks"!
Many people have read this meaning of Li Nian, and they know that this young master is not as kind as he seems.
After Li Shiqi sat down, another Confucian scholar stood up and asked, "May I ask, Master, if this map is true? How did Master learn about this map?"
Everyone His eyes fell on Li Nian, who was very concerned about these two issues. If this map is true, it will definitely affect the theories and thoughts of various schools of thought.
Because the thoughts and doctrines of hundreds of schools of thought are originally derived from the thinking of the scholars based on the real environment they perceive. If the real environment changes, some contents in the doctrine will also need to be adjusted to better understand the situation. Adapt to the current environment.
Li Niandao: "The world is so big, and it is impossible for Li to have seen them all. Some of them were heard by Li, and they cannot be completely confirmed to be true, but some of them can be confirmed."
"Everyone. Don’t think that Li just talked about the future world , will fight for all the nations and all the nations! 'The danger of destroying the country and being a slave forever! ' is alarmist, there is a country here..."
Li Nian then sent Alexander to conquer the east. The incident in Yangzhou (India) was briefly discussed with everyone.
Everyone was shocked to hear that there was such a foreign army in the world that almost reached China, especially when they saw that the king named "Alexander" conquered such a large area of land.
It turns out that there was a foreign country that almost called, but they were blocked and could not make it, so they didn't know it.
No one doubted Li Nianzhi's words. Many people knew the story of the couple's love affair during the Shang Dynasty.
After listening to what Li Nian said about the caste system, many people looked even more solemn.
The Yangzhou people are a living example of being slaves forever after being conquered!
Although the people of Yangzhou are too weak to be bullied and have just obeyed the outrageous caste system, this kind of thing must not happen to their descendants!
Chinese civilization has always valued both ancestors and descendants. Without ancestors, there would be no today, and without descendants, there would be no future.
This may also be a major reason why among the four ancient civilizations, only China can continue to survive and be passed down.
In order to allow future generations to live a better life, many people in China are willing to give up many things, including their lives.
The Confucian scholar who asked the question said: "We and our descendants will definitely not be able to repeat what happened in Yangzhou!"
This statement attracted many people to nod. It is too scary to be a slave for life and never be able to stand up. .
The Confucian scholar solemnly saluted Li Nian again: "Thank you, Sir, for alerting us, not only for making us aware that there are other countries and other ethnic groups outside the territory, but also for making us aware of the dangers of competing with foreign nations. Cruel!”
It was indeed cruel. Just thinking about the caste system being implemented in China made everyone feel uncomfortable.
China does not say that it wants to enslave those foreign races, but it must not be enslaved by others.
China must become stronger and must always be ahead of other nations in the world!
“I have heard that the ancient sages planned for the world, took care of the world’s affairs, and were selfless. Today’s young master is righteous and has the appearance of a sage!”
None of what Li Nian did is wrong. Not for himself, but for the sake of the world, hoping that the people of this land would always be strong and not be bullied or enslaved by others.
Although doing this will harm some interests of Baijia, its purpose is to benefit the world and China.
Hearing that the middle-aged Confucian scholar compared himself with the ancient sages, Li Nian hurriedly said: "How can Li compare with all the sages? Without the sages, there would be no Li today. , Li is just lucky to stand on the shoulders of all the sages." After the Confucian scholar finished the question and answer with Li Nian, many people's minds changed.
Some people originally did not like the teaching materials compiled by Li Nian. Not only did they not want to join, they even had objections, but now they are starting to seriously consider it.
In this great world, if there is no attempt to change, not only one school of thought will decline, but also thousands of schools and millions of people in the world.
In this way, even if you don't want to do anything for the Qin Dynasty, you still have to participate in this unprecedented change for the sake of the people and the world!
The question and answer was still going on, and someone asked: "Master just said that points can be exchanged for paper. May I ask what this 'point' is?"
Li Niandao: "Point is a new word that you all participated in making up. , a kind of quantified credit for compiling teaching materials. For example, if everyone comes to the palace on time every day to participate in compiling new characters, they can get twenty points, and if they complete the phonetic notation of a character, they can get one point. Complete the annotation with one word, and you will get five points. "
"Points can be accumulated, and you can use the points to exchange for some things that are temporarily rare in the world!"
Everyone understood this immediately. The essence of "points" is a special kind of merit. The point system is not only to attract them to participate, but also to make them work harder so that they can get more points.
If you don't participate, you won't have points, and you won't be able to exchange for things that aren't available outside.
Although it is not forcing, it is tempting!
Another person stood up and asked: "I dare to ask, sir, what if there are hundreds of schools of thought that have not been selected into the teaching materials?"
Li Nian looked at the person who asked the question. , this person comes from an unknown school of thought.
This is another key issue that has attracted the attention of many people, especially those from the smaller schools of thought.
Fortunately, those big schools of thought, such as Mohism and Confucianism, some of their classics will definitely be selected into the textbooks and passed down. But this may not be the case for small ones. Once they are not selected and there are few of them, how can the doctrine be passed down and continued?
Although today, many people have understood that most of the hundreds of schools of thought will eventually decline, but they still feel unwilling to do so.
Li Niandao: "I know what you mean, but I cannot guarantee to you that the theories of every hundred schools of thought can be included in the textbooks."
"However, I hope that the theories of every hundred schools of thought can be included in the textbooks." Doctrines and ideas can be preserved, which is why I advise Your Majesty to build a hundred schools of thought."
"There are hundreds of scholars. There may be fallacies, errors and omissions in the thoughts and doctrines of the Chinese nation, and they may be considered inappropriate in the future, but it is undeniable that they are a splendid page of Chinese civilization and are worth recording and preserving so that future generations will know what happened during that period. There are these great ideas and these wonderful doctrines in history.”
"Of course your intention is not only to preserve it, but also to have people learn your own theory and pass it on. But if you want to do this, you have to rely on yourselves..."
Li Niandao: "I heard that novelists often say When recording folk talk, why can't we compile the recorded talk into a story and write a book? Why can't we take the initiative to investigate whether it is true based on the rumors in the talk? "
" hair If some rumors are found to be false, you can inform the people in time to refute the rumors, such as rumors of demons or ghosts appearing in a certain place;"
"If you find that the rumors are true, you can also report or inform them in time. Let the people know the latest news as soon as possible.”
This made many people think deeply. The novelist who originally felt that he had no value would suddenly lose his status and practical value according to this statement. Come up.
And if it has practical value, then people will come to learn it, and the inheritance can be continued.
Many schools of thought died out, not only because the king needed to depose the other schools, but also because they themselves failed to find a track.
Like a novelist, you can completely transform into a reporter, novel author, screenwriter, etc.
Of course, given the strict control over culture and thought in most dynasties, novelists may not be able to change it.
