Three Kingdoms: I Am Not an Ant Thief Chapter 682: Reviving the Mohist Family
Through Xu Wei's words, Xiangkai finally understood why Xu Wei wanted to drive all these clans out of Daqian. It turned out to be to make room for new schools and new systems. In this way, Confucianism and the clans It's a bit eye-catching.
Xiangkai asked: "Does the government want to revive the Mohist school?"
Although Xu Wei has never admitted it, both the senior officials of Daqian and Xu Wei's enemies regard Xu Wei as a giant cultivated by the Mohist family. They saw that the Han Dynasty was about to perish and the world was about to be in chaos, so they took advantage of the troubled times to revive the Mohist family. Obviously this was extremely successful, and it even aroused the hope of other Doom schools, who also wanted to copy Xu Wei's behavior!
Xu Wei is too similar to Mohism in his thinking. At that time, all the schools of thought said they loved the people, but the people of Confucianism were at least poor. Taoism simply ruled by doing nothing, and Legalism simply took the principle of weakening the people and enriching the country. Only Mohism said this Loving the people is for ordinary people!
But now Daqian can conquer the world only by loving the people and gaining the support of the people!
Also ideologically, like the Mohists, Xu Wei can be said to be the master of the world. But even though Xu Wei has unified the world, he does not want to be the emperor. He does not regard the world as his own. He even I have set a monthly salary for myself, and I have to receive it with them every month.
He controls the whole world but has only one wife. His material requirements can be said to be the lowest among the three generations in the legend. He still lives in a small courtyard (a three-story villa with a total of several hundred square meters, in Xu Wei seems to be extremely luxurious. Of course, compared to the imperial palaces of several square kilometers of the Han emperors at the same time, Xu Wei is extremely simple!)
The most obvious criterion is that Xu Wei is extremely proficient in various mechanical mechanisms and construction projects in various states. It can even be said that it is precisely because Xu Wei has these mechanisms that the journey to unify the world will be so smooth!
Xu Wei laughed dumbly when he heard this and said: "It is not an exaggeration to say that Mohism is being revived. The future era will be the era of workers and machines. The more workers, the more advanced the technology, the more machines, the more advanced the country will be. The stronger it becomes, and among hundreds of schools of thought, the only one who is a worker and supports the development of machines is the Mohist school."
Xiangkai said: "Why don't the rulers train Mohist officials? If a school of thought doesn't have enough supporters, it can't rule the world!"
Xu Wei smiled confidently: "All craftsmen in the world can be regarded as followers of Mohism!"
But Xiangkai said: "To govern, we need enough craftsmen to enter the officialdom, so that the concept of governing will not change!"
Xu Wei was stunned by these words. He suddenly remembered that the later dynasties seemed to have the concept of engineers governing the country. If you want to manage a country, you must not only have craftsmen, otherwise it will be easy for those businessmen to usurp power!
Xu Wei thought for a moment and said, "We want to build a school for craftsmen! The war is over, and it's time to build the world!"
Xiangkai thought for a while and asked: "What does the government plan to do with Liu Bei in Jiaozhou? They have become the only stronghold of the clan."
It's funny. Originally, for the powerful noble families in the Central Plains, those who came from remote places like Yizhou and Jingzhou were not regarded as aristocratic families at all, but as powerful people. However, Jiaozhou, which was at the bottom of the chain, was not even considered powerful. , in the eyes of middle-class people, they are just savages.
However, after experiencing a comprehensive blow to the Central Plains noble families, Jiaozhou has now become the only paradise for the Central Plains noble families.
Xu Weidao said: "I have no hatred towards Liu Bei, and I have no intention of exterminating them all. The wealthy clans who fled to Jiaozhou are just a bunch of defeated dogs to me, Dagan, and I don't care about their life or death. But after all, Jiaozhou was originally a part of If the land of the Han Dynasty is not occupied by Jiaozhou, the world will not be unified."
"But spending so much effort attacking a remote place like Jiaozhou is not worth the gain. It would be best to resolve the Jiaozhou issue peacefully. I want to find someone to go to Jiaozhou to communicate with Liu Bei and ask him to hand over the land in Jiaozhou. As for the powerful clans above and him If our subordinates are willing to establish their own country in a land other than the Han Dynasty, we will not stop them, and we may even give them a small amount of support if they give up Jiaozhou and reduce the war!"
In this era, the land in Jingnan is already lower than the developed Chengdu in Xiliang, and Jiaozhou is not much different from the country of the barbarians. Xu Wei is not worried that his men cannot defeat Liu Bei, but is worried that Liu Bei will be like this in Jiaozhou It's a guerrilla war in a barbaric land with Da Gan. This is very disgusting!

When Xiangkai heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the ruler really doesn't want the wealthy nobles of the Han Dynasty to continue to retain their jobs!"
Xu Wei pointed out: "The aristocratic clan is a product of the old era. Their thoughts and actions are based on family interests, and they want to build their own small world. In this small world, they are in charge of everything.
"But this set of systems is in conflict with the industrialized system and society we have established now. Industrialized society pays attention to communication. It is necessary to break all these feudal behaviors that are entrenched and establish a unified large market. Let shops, The unimpeded circulation is throughout the world, so the more intensely I attack the noble families now, the smoother the development of Daqian's industrialization will be, and the faster the development will be!"
"Now because of the war, I can attack the noble clans unscrupulously, but after the war is over, we can no longer attack the power of the noble clans like this, so we can drive them away during the war and help us develop in the future. The more advantageous it is!”
Xiangkai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Cai Yong and the others are still talented and can be regarded as moral gentlemen. Isn't it a bit unfair for the government to attack them like this?"
Xu Wei said firmly: "The dust of the times is like a big mountain to an individual. This is not unfair. After all, he is still alive. The tens of millions of people who died when the world was in chaos, who can give them justice? From our standpoint I would like to say that we, the top leaders of the big cadres, must be fair to those who support us!"
Xiangkai looked at the determined Xu Wei, who used his firm stance to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. No wonder the ruler could defeat the heroes and unify the world within more than ten years!
After reading the great scholars like Zhao Qi, Xu Wei found Niu Gui and said to him: "In order to accelerate the promotion of steam engines and promote the development of industrialization in Daqian, I plan to build a mechanical university in Jidu to teach anyone how to make steam engines and other production life Mechanical, this is a college for the entire Daqian. Anyone who passes the exam can enter the university to study. The first batch of students is temporarily set at 1,000. You need to inform the officials of the Ministry of Rites and let the entire Daqian know the news about the Mechanical University. The people know!"
Niu Gui said in surprise: "To govern, we need to add an imperial examination, but 1,000 people are too few!"
Niu Gui also thought that this was an imperial examination, and the smallest imperial examination in Daqian had more than 3,000 people. It couldn't be less. If it was less, it would not be able to match the speed of Daqian's expansion and internal circulation. Xu Wei was serious about arresting corrupt officials. He would not think of a once-and-for-all method like other emperors. Instead, he would do the normal government work of arresting corrupt officials and try to control corruption to the lowest level.
Xu Wei shook his head and said: "This is not an imperial examination to select officials, but an examination to select scholars. Students from the Mechanical University are not to be officials, but to enter factories to become skilled workers or even master craftsmen!"
