Chapter 782 Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Clan
Under the leadership of the staff, they quickly arrived at the hall of Xu Wei's home, and then an orderly served them tea and told them that the governor would be arriving soon.
"Does anyone know what the government wants to do with us? When he sent the order, he only said that he wanted to ask me some historical questions about the three generations of rule?
But with such a long history, I don’t know much about my family’s knowledge.” Fu Wan asked a little nervously, he was afraid of wasting this great opportunity.
"The ruler has always said that ordinary people are the creators of history. His view of history is completely different from mine. This sudden impulse to summon us is probably related to what is happening in Daqian." Xu Shao thought about it. thought.
Huang Yancheng said: "That should be related to the New World. I went to the New World some time ago and found that the folk customs in the New World are very similar to those during the Three Dynasties. Human sacrifice is still a custom there.
Moreover, the power of their sacrifices is also very powerful, even greater than that of the leader. But the strange thing is that their state has been passed down for thousands of years, and they have always been in the form of tribes. There is no country. The feudal countries in the three generations period have It’s very strange that he didn’t show up?”

After the emergence of the New World, it became a hot topic in academic circles. Because of Zhuge Liang's relationship, Huang Yancheng's family also had a lot of wealth, so he lived a more comfortable and wealthy life than others.
He wanted to understand the folk customs of the New World, so he simply chartered a sea ship and went directly to the New World. He was so heroic!
“Perhaps the New World can be the place where my Confucianism can be revived!
Although the savages here are cruel, they are also simple. As long as they are educated, they will definitely become loyal followers of my Confucianism. The most important thing is that the potential of the New World is not inferior to that of Daqian. If we occupy the New World first, we must seize the opportunity. "
How to revive Confucianism has been what these great Confucians have been thinking about for more than ten years.
It's a pity that they can't see such a trend in the mainland of Daqian. Therefore, many Confucian scholars began to branch out. They occupied Nanzhong, Nanhai, and even Tianzhu and the Western Regions. They wanted to use this method to continue the inheritance and survive this period. During this period of crisis, he waited several decades before taking over the Central Plains.
They also did this kind of thing back then. During Emperor Wu's period, the reason why Confucianism was able to dominate hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism was because the power of Confucianism during this period was unstoppable. There were Confucian scholars everywhere, and there were also some in the court. Many great Confucians cheered for them, saying that 70% of the princes in the world studied Confucianism. It was because they were so powerful that they were able to defeat hundreds of schools of thought at once. So now they also want to learn from the wisdom of their ancestors and accumulate strength locally.
Xun Yue said in surprise: "The people who come here seem to be more interested in the New World!"
He understood: "That should be it, but he may want to ask us about the New World when he is in power."
Then he wondered: "It's just that he shouldn't have first-hand information about the New World, so why would he need to ask us for advice?"
Sima Jing thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid there is a place where we are needed, so the governor invited us here!"
Just when they were hesitating, Xu Wei came here and said: "I'm sorry, something has been delayed and I kept you waiting for so long!"
The others naturally stood up and said politely: "The governor is very polite, the old man and others have just arrived here."
Xu Wei did not continue to be polite, but immediately said: "Everyone must know about the New World. Do you think the customs of the New World are similar to our customs in Daqian?"
Xun Yue and others suddenly looked at each other in shock when they heard this, not knowing what Xu Wei meant.
Xu Wei did not intend to play riddles with them, but continued: "Since the opening of the sea, everyone's horizons have broadened, and they know that in addition to our Daqian civilization, there are countless prosperous civilizations in the world, such as the Tianzhu civilization , Tianfang Civilization, Da Qin Civilization!
There are also various races of people, such as the Nanyang savages who are short and dark-skinned, completely different from our Daqian people. There are also the Tianzhu people with three-dimensional facial features and darker skin than ours. The people from the Western Regions have white skin, blond hair, and bright eyes. They are green and tall, and they are burly, barbaric and brutal. It can be said that these people are completely different from us Dagan people."
"But the savages in the New World are different. They are almost exactly the same as us. If they learn our language and wear our clothes, others will not be able to tell whether this person is a savage from the New World or one of my wealthy people.
The savages in the New World are so similar to us, so is it possible that they were originally our Daqian people, but they just migrated there in ancient times, and the tens of thousands of miles of sea cut them off from their homeland!"
Then Xu Wei gave them an example and said: "When King Wu attacked Shang Zhou, it was said that there was a Great Shang army of more than 50,000 in the Huainan area, and this army disappeared without a trace after the fall of Great Shang. trace!
Does anyone think there is a possibility?
This army saw that their country was destroyed by King Wu. They did not want to take refuge with King Wu, so they took a sea ship and drifted to the New World. After so many years, they also forgot the history of their birth, and then became the New World. of savages.”
The people present were all smart people. Xu Wei spoke so clearly that they immediately understood what Xu Wei meant. This was to create an ancestor for the savages in the New World, so that they could recognize their ancestors and return to their clan so that they could rule the New World more easily.
Huang Yancheng thought for a while and said: "This is a bit difficult to deal with. There are many bronzes from the Yin and Shang Dynasties preserved in my country, and there are many characters from the Yin and Shang Dynasties on them. I have been to those barbarian tribes, and their characters have no Yin and Shang characters at all. What it looked like during the Shang Dynasty.
Moreover, their level of civilization is extremely low. They have no bronzes, no cars, and their daily utensils are completely different from ours. Even their system is completely different from that of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The history they inherited and recorded does not record the culture of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They have forgotten too many things, and it can even be said that civilization has been cut off. If we bite the bullet and say that these savages are descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, we are afraid that others will laugh at us."
Although Huang Yancheng knew that Xu Wei wanted them to compile history so that the savages in the New World could recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, as a scholar he still felt that such an act was a bit difficult to do.
If they agree with the ruling party and fabricate history, they will be ridiculed by the world if this spreads out, and their names will be infamy for thousands of years in the history of history. Especially the latter point, this is something that Huang Yancheng and others find difficult to accept.
