It can be seen that everyone, including Kong Yingda, is quite satisfied with this answer.

Not to say it's amazing, but I can't fault it either.

However, this time, they were going to be disappointed.

"The answer is not what was asked."

Ding Xiang's cold voice came, and the expressions of Kong Yingda, Li Shimin and others suddenly froze on their faces.

"I have extended my statement, but your answer still falls into a misunderstanding, that is, the ultimate principles in the world are morality, wisdom, and ability."

"I hope the fairy will make it clear." Kong Yingda looked confused. Isn't this true?

"Morality, wisdom, and ability vary from person to person, from event to event, and cause and effect are different. How can they be generalized by principles? What I call the most ideal principles in the world only represents two words -" Ding Xiang paused.

After a while, he said seriously, "Power!"

Most people in this era believe that knowledge is morality.

Wen Tianxiang of the Song Dynasty once said something.

Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness, but the righteousness must be exhausted, so benevolence is the best. What have you learned from reading the books of sages? Now from now on, you will have no shame!

This means that when you read the books of sages, what you learn is benevolence and righteousness. Once you learn it, there is almost nothing to be ashamed of.

This view has lasted almost throughout the ancient times of the East.

But in fact, the word morality has nothing to do with knowledge at all.

Just like Lilac said.

Morality, wisdom, ability, etc., have different opinions in different periods, different things, and different results. They are related to the characteristics of civilization, but not to the strength of civilization. Even those powerful alien civilizations have many principles that human beings follow.

Seems like a fundamentally unethical code of conduct.

And these words.

To everyone's ears, it was like a roaring explosion.

Especially Kong Yingda, his whole body was trembling at this moment.

What the immortals call the best principles in the world is actually just power?

What is power?

In this era, power is just power and force.

But these things do not occupy much place in Confucius's words.

If those who said this were not fairies, then they would definitely be labeled as militaristic.

Even now.

Kong Yingda also raised his head and looked at Ding Xiang with his whole body trembling.

"What the fairy said, Yingda, I don't dare to agree with it."

As the leader of Confucianism of this generation, Kong Yingda still has some faith in his heart.

It has not reached the point where some people in later generations just talk about the words of sages and do ridiculous things.

These words made many people's expressions change slightly, and Li Shimin even turned his head, almost ready to scold him.

This is the face of an immortal!

The immortals didn't even say whether they want to pass down the truth to the mortal world, how dare you question it?

However, when Li Shimin opened his mouth, no sound came out.

Here, it has been muted by Ding Xiang, and only the person who answers to her can make a sound.

To everyone's expectation, Dingxiang not only did not criticize or get angry, but praised:

"Not bad, I have the courage to question."

Kong Yingda also breathed a sigh of relief.

It does take courage to question the immortals.

"I have a plow."

After Lilac finished speaking, a little bit of brilliance appeared in front of everyone, gathering into the image of a plow, slowly rotating, lifelike.

"Compared with the long straight shaft plows you use, it is more flexible and labor-saving, and can greatly increase the speed of farming. Do you think this thing can be related to morality?"

Everyone present opened their eyes wide.

Most of the people here have never worked in the fields, but everyone can understand what it means if this curved shaft plow can really greatly improve the efficiency of farming.

It means that new farmland can also be greatly improved!

In this era, it was not the number of fields that limited total crop production, but the number of laborers.

After all, there are only so many people and cattle.

Some officials even breathed a little heavier, staring at Qu Yuuli in front of them, as if they wanted to memorize every structure. Li Shimin was even more excited and shocked. He never thought that the fairy had not agreed to teach him. The best principles in the world have already come up with such a treasure that is beneficial to farming.

But Kong Yingda focused on the questions and answers Ding Xiang said.

This product can improve the efficiency of farming, but is it morally relevant?

He blushed.

In the end, I could only say: "It doesn't matter."

What does the use of utensils have to do with morality?

"I also have a salt refining method that can turn toxic mineral salt into non-toxic table salt. Is this method related to morality?" Ding Xiang raised her hand again, and processes appeared in front of her. The process of refining salt.

Dissolve, filter, make brine, crystallize...

This time.

Not to mention the rest of the people, even Kong Yingda was breathing heavily and staring at the scene in front of him.

The method of refining salt!

If people don’t eat salt, they will die! In this era, the price of salt is even more expensive than meat!

But the salt refining method in front of us can actually extract table salt from mineral salt?

"It doesn't matter, of course it doesn't matter." Kong Yingda's voice was already trembling.

The method of refining salt should be classified as a magical skill and has nothing to do with morality and etiquette.

But, does he dare to say that this is not important?

Once this method of refining salt was developed, it directly solved the suffering of all people from lack of salt and saved countless people who died due to lack of salt!

"I have a breeding method that can increase the yield of rice several times; I have a livestock breeding method that can increase the number of chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep; I have a weaving method that can make everyone in the world wear brocade clothes. I have a way to build a house..." Ding Xiang's cold voice spread to everyone's ears.

As she narrated, scenes appeared in front of everyone.

There are golden rice fields, cattle and sheep everywhere, pieces of brocade clothing, and strong and tall buildings.

Taken together, these are a scene of prosperity beyond imagination!

And Ding Xiang’s final Q&A also follows.

"Can these be related to morality? Is it related to the words of the sages you have read?"

Everyone was trembling, and the scholar was trembling even more.

Kong Yingda almost fainted.

None of the things given by the fairy are related to the words of sages or what they, the literati, have learned in their lives, but each of them can bring huge benefits to the Tang Dynasty, the people of the world, and everyone.

Li Shimin was also almost dizzy!

But he wasn't trembling because of fear.

But because of excitement, because of excitement!

He stared hard at the scenes in front of him, as if he could already see scenes like this appearing in his Chang'an, his Tang Dynasty, and his world.

Unparalleled prosperity!

This is an unprecedented prosperous era!
