Under Xun Yue's guidance, the carriage team slowly drove to the suburbs!
Xun Yue also began to explain to Sima Jing and the others: "Jidu is very expensive. If we want to accommodate hundreds of people, even the largest inn in Jidu is difficult to arrange. I can only place everyone in a newly built community in the suburbs. This It happens to be the property of my Xun family. The building has not been handed over for use yet, so we can temporarily accommodate you all!"
Even under Xu Wei's strong suppression, the political influence of the powerful gentry in the Han Dynasty was close to zero. However, due to the explosion of productivity in Daqian and the huge increase in social wealth, Xu Wei restricted the political influence of the powerful gentry. road, but it did not limit their commercial development.
As for the powerful noble families of the Han Dynasty, don't look like they all despise the merchants, but every powerful noble family has a large number of caravans. It's just that they used to arrange some white gloves, but now they don't need them anymore. Many of their families simply go directly to the caravan.
Although some families failed in business, many families were successful, and the Xun family was one of the successful ones. In such a golden period of business, the Xun family's family property was also increasing rapidly, and now they can even engage in real estate. , this community was newly built by the Xun family, specially prepared for workers coming to the imperial capital. Since it had not been delivered yet, Xun Yue simply settled Sima Jing and the others first.
After the convoy passed by a stick of incense, they finally arrived at the community Xun Yue mentioned. The place was a bit desolate, even surrounded by fields, and there was only a cement road connecting Jidu.
But the inside is nice, just like a small town. The buildings inside are also 5-story small high-rise buildings. The surrounding greenery is also good, and there is a small garden. If it were not for the lack of city walls, they would all think that this is the Xun family in Jidu. The fort was built.
Pang Degong saw that the high-rise buildings under construction were the same as Ji. It was obvious that such a place would be good as a temporary residence. So he smiled and said: "It is quiet here, but it is a suitable place for students to study!"
Huang Yancheng and Sima Jing also stroked their beards and said, "Brother Zhongyu is serious, this place is very good!"
Xun Yue smiled and said: "As long as you are satisfied!"
Then he smiled and said: "The three of you are all famous Confucian scholars in the world. Many people who came to Jidu this time want to ask you for advice. In two days, I will take you and the Confucian scholars in Jidu to exchange knowledge. any?"
Sima Jing asked curiously: "There are many great scholars in Ji?"
In his impression, Lei Gong did not like Confucianism, but he quickly thought that Jidu was now the center of Daqian. Even if Lei Gong did not like Confucianism, how could there be so few great Confucians in such a place, especially Daqian? Confucianism is no longer the foundation of rule. Great Confucians from all over the country will gather in Jidu even if they want to change Lei Gong's mind.
Xun Yue smiled and said: "Of course there are many, such as Mr. Zhao Qi, Mr. Cai Yong, Hua Ziyu, Guan You'an and other great Confucians are all in Jidu. Everyone gathers together and is thinking of ways to improve Confucianism to adapt to the new era. era!"
When Pang Degong, Huang Yancheng and Sima Jing heard this, they suddenly realized that so many great Confucianists gathered in Jidu, obviously wanting to transform Confucianism into a ruling tool that Lei Gong and Daqian needed. Adapting to the times is what their Confucianism is best at. The learning of various schools of thought all came to an end because they did not adapt to the times. The only schools that really survive now are Confucianism and Taoism.
But the three of them also knew that this situation was changing rapidly. It was common knowledge that Lei Gong did not like Confucianism, and it was obvious that Da Qian would not use Confucianism.
Nowadays, in the academic world, some Confucian scholars have lost their place, and the heroes of the world are chasing after them.
Taoism's response was the fastest. After all, Daqian has a close relationship with Taiping Sect and Taoism. Therefore, Daoism in Daqian has developed the fastest in recent years. Taoist academies are being established in various places, and the number of Taoist students is also increasing rapidly. , it can even be said that there are currently the most Taoist officials in the Daqian court, but these people have not yet reached high positions and are difficult to influence the development policies of Daqian.
Therefore, Xiangkai was not satisfied that Taoism did not gain a dominant position. During this period, he kept calling Taoist masters scattered in famous mountains to come to Jidu.
"Stop asking for immortality and asking for immortality. Isn't it better to be the Bingquan in charge of the world than to make elixirs? Now Confucianism has lost the right to control the world, and its power has been torn to pieces by Da Gan. , it’s just a matter of poking the bones and raising ashes.”
Xiangkai's call was responded to by many high-ranking Taoist masters. Yu Ji from Jiangdong, Zuo Ci from Yuzhou and other world-famous Taoist masters came to Jidu one after another to explain their knowledge to the senior officials of Daqian and set up shop in Jidu. Academy, recruit disciples to expand your power.
The Taoist masters don't really want to be attached to the mountains and rivers, but the power in the world is controlled by Confucianism. They can only survive in these valleys, where the Confucian forces cannot control them. Speaking of which, they are just a group of people who are controlled by Confucianism. He is just a repulsive loser who cannot awaken the power of the world, so he can only seek immortality and practice the golden elixir before he becomes lonely.
In addition to Taoism, various small schools have also emerged one after another. Those who write comments and articles also want to find a big backer to rely on. They don't know which pile of old papers they dug out of books, and dozens of people gathered together and claimed to be The family also enshrined Xu Shao as the head of the family. Xu Shao may have seen the decline of Confucianism and really wanted to change the family, but he actually became the head of the family.
Daqian's industrial and commercial development are extremely prosperous, and big businessmen with billions of dollars are all over the world. Although Daqian's policies towards businessmen make them feel more secure than the Han Dynasty.
But their power has never been able to enter the upper echelons of Daqian, which is also something they are worried about. After all, what the big man did back then was so incredible that he could just kill them like pigs, but he would not even let the little piglets go. , this is too much.
They are also worried that when Da Gan will change the national policy, they will be slaughtered as fat pigs. After all, their wealth has far exceeded that of the Han Dynasty. Everyone knows that when pigs are fat, it is their turn to be slaughtered. .
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They don’t want to be ripped off, they want to protect their family business, and investing in a school of thought allows them to have a voice in society. This has become their common behavior.
So these businessmen invested in scholars and asked these scholars to form the Zajia School based on Lu's Spring and Autumn Period to give voice to big businessmen like them.
The Zajia School lived up to expectations. After its establishment, it promoted the idea of heavy industry and commerce in newspapers, and was recognized by many ordinary people and even big money executives.
It can be said that the current Daqian academic world is extremely dangerous for Confucianism. Hundreds of schools of thought are rapidly reviving and they have lost their dominance. Confucian schools are trying to find ways to adapt to this new era.
Even Xu Wei had to admit that Confucianism is the most adaptable and vital knowledge of this era. After these Confucian masters discovered that Xu Wei had abandoned Confucianism, they began to find ways to actively adapt to the environment of Daqian. Under the influence of these great Confucianists, , at this time, many schools of New Confucianism had appeared in Daqian.
Therefore, Xun Yue welcomes the path of Sima Jing and others. The more schools of Confucianism there are, the greater the chance of Confucianism continuing!
Strength in numbers has always been the magic weapon for Confucianism to win. At that time, hundreds of schools of thought were defeated by them, and they were defeated and even perished. It was not because the number of scholars and students was not as good as that of Confucianism. At that time, 70% of the world's scholars were They studied Confucianism, so they could quickly seize power after deposing hundreds of schools of thought.
Pang Degong understood Xun Yue's thoughts and said with a smile: "This is a grand event for Confucianism, and I and others will definitely participate!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Xun Yue smiled and said: "Yue left a housekeeper and 10 servants here. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask them!"
And then left here!
Pang Degong began to assign rooms to everyone, and the people who came to Jidu from Jingzhou began to settle down in Jidu.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying tidied up their rooms.
Huang Yueying said curiously: "This kind of high-rise building is better than a wooden house, and it looks much stronger, but it is too small!"
Zhuge Liang said: "I think it's good. All kinds of facilities can be found here, and it's also extremely space-saving. Now the population of Jidu exceeds that of Luoyang City, but the area is not even half of Luoyang City. That's because there are so many high-rise buildings." , it is said that the ruling and high-ranking officials of Daqian live in such houses, and ordinary people also live in such houses. In terms of economy, the senior officials of Daqian are the most honest after three generations. In terms of caring for the people, the ruling and Daqian The senior management of the company can be considered as consistent in their words and deeds.”
Huang Yueying nodded and said: "Da Qian is much stronger than Da Han, and Lei Gong is a hundred times stronger than the late emperor. This Da Han has lost his kingdom without complaint!"
The late emperor Huang Yueying mentioned was Emperor Ling. Compared with the frugal Lei Gong, Emperor Ling was the representative of extravagance and lust. He forced officials to spend money to buy official positions. In the entire 400 years of the Han Dynasty, this emperor was the only one who could do anything.
And Huang Yueying also has a good impression of Lei Gong, because the Daqian court has the most female officials in history. Lei Gong even said that women can hold up half the sky. It can be said that in the Daqian court, the status of women in the world has been greatly improved.
Speaking of the Ling Emperor, Zhuge Liang also shook his head darkly. He had feelings for the Han Dynasty. After all, his Zhuge family has been a powerful family in the Han Dynasty for many generations. Although it is not the top, it is still one of the top leaders of the Han Dynasty. And now it is in the Daqian court. , the Zhuge family can only be regarded as an ordinary common people's family, not even as good as the common people. Common people can still rely on the imperial examination to become officials, but they do not have the qualifications for the imperial examination.
But along the way, he saw the great strength of Da Gan, and he knew that Da Han was defeated without resentment. Even if Liu Bei and the others were given another chance, and even Da Han did not split up and continue fighting with Da Gan, the result would still not be great. change!
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Don't mention Da Han anymore. We all have to find ways to adapt to the Da Qian court!"
Huang Yueying nodded, then took out a mathematics book and said: "Kong Ming, please solve this problem for me!"
Huang Yueying is also determined to win this exam. Her grades are not even inferior to those of Pang Tong. In physics, she is even better than Zhuge Liang. However, she is slightly worse in mathematics and often needs Zhuge Liang to make up for her lessons!
And similar things have not happened in this community for a long time. After they settled down a little, they started to get into a state of study! Because these people all know that their family's future is running out.
In this way, the nobles in Jingzhou quickly entered the state! And the descendants of the nobles from other places also entered Jidu to join in this cruel competition!
That day, Zhuge Liang went to the bookstore to buy counseling books, but he accidentally bumped into someone. A neatly dressed middle-aged man carrying many books on his back. Zhuge Liang's collision knocked the books he was carrying and dropped them to the ground.
"Sorry, sorry!" Zhuge Liang apologized quickly, and then he discovered that most of these books were related to this exam.
Zhuge Liang asked: "Sir, your nephew also wants to be admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering?"
This middle-aged man, tall and powerful, looks like someone who does heavy physical work.
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said: "I want to take the entrance examination to the University of Mechanical Engineering. Unfortunately, I am not very good at learning this knowledge, so I want to buy some tutoring books here. It will be a waste if I don't sharpen my skills before the battle!"
Then he cupped his hands to Zhuge Liang and said: "I, Pu Yuan, am a blacksmith from Hedong. May I ask what your name is?"
Zhuge Liang also cupped his hands and said: "I'm here in Langya, Zhuge Liang, I've met Brother Pu!"
Then Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Brother Pu is so old and still so studious, I admire him!"
Pu Yuan smiled and said: "Actually, I don't want to be admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering. I have been practicing for more than ten years, and I don't know how to study. My head hurts when I read the content here. But there is no way, you insist on letting me come. I was admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering, and I also wanted to learn how to make steam engines. That’s why I came to Jidu. I thought that there would be no official positions in this exam and there wouldn’t be many people taking the exam. Only after I came to Jidu did I realize that I had thought wrong. Mechanical There are actually tens of thousands of people taking exams at the university.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I will lose my reputation this time and go back disappointed! I don't feel disappointed if I can't pass the exam, even though my academic achievements are worth a monthly salary. 10,000, but now I can make 100,000 a month, but I’m just disappointed that I can’t learn how to make a steam engine!”
Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard that Pu Yuan could earn 100,000 yuan a month. Such an ordinary man was actually a hidden rich man, earning millions a year. Even in Daqian, this was not an ordinary factory. It can be done!
It was difficult for the Zhuge family to make 100,000 yuan in a month in Jingzhou, but now the Zhuge family is in a state of sitting on nothing. He was helpless to find that he was not as rich as Pu Yuan!
Zhuge Liang said with admiration: "My brother already has a millionaire, but he is still so eager to learn and work hard. This is what makes Liang admire him!"
Pu Yuan said embarrassedly: "I'm just a blacksmith. If it weren't for the government, how would I have my current family business?"
Then he sighed: "That is why the Daqian court will be so kind to us craftsmen!"
"My father worked as a craftsman for the Shaofu Ling of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't have enough food or clothing, and he almost died of exhaustion in the workshop. Fortunately, my father's fortune turned around. During the mutiny in Luoyang City, the ruler traded grain to Shanxi. Yang, became a master craftsman at Jinyang Iron and Steel Plant, and his income immediately increased more than ten times!"
"Later, I learned the technology of making blast furnaces in steel plants. I returned to my hometown in Hedong and took out a loan to build a small steel plant. I built a small blast furnace specifically for the people to make their own farm tools and kitchen knives. That's when I became rich!"
Then he sighed: "A powerless blacksmith's son like me can also get rich. This is all due to the ruling. I have a ruling longevity tablet at home, and I burn incense and pray every day. I hope that the ruling will be prosperous." Longevity!"
Zhuge Liang sighed after hearing Pu Yuan's family history. Although Lei Gong was cruel to them, he was really good to the people. Thinking that the power of the people was much stronger than that of the nobles, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lei Gong's choice. .
