"Confucianism has no choice, unless you become a Confucian semi-sage or saint, you can get a lot of Confucian luck"
After the hundreds of schools of thought, especially the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was the sole focus. Confucianism indeed reached its peak, and then the hundreds of schools of thought dissipated.
Su Fan didn't know what Confucianism would look like in the future, but the Confucianism of later generations did meet the needs of rulers.
Moreover, Confucianism indeed exists in Journey to the West.
But whether Confucianism can have such a huge destiny is still unknown. After all, this is a mythical world.
The importance of luck is self-evident. How could other schools of thought be so willing?
So what if Confucianism is great?
You only respect Confucianism and depose hundreds of schools of thought. Don't those other strong men dare to take action? Don't forget that they are also human beings.
Huoyundong will not care about the internal strife of the human race. After all, no matter what, it is just for their internal digestion.
Therefore, Su Fan still has great doubts about Confucianism.
Otherwise, he could just use Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind and pretend to be one, not to mention becoming a Confucian saint, but he could still be a semi-sage or a great Confucian.
It's just that Confucianism is a way of education, and to promote the philosophy of mind, one must constantly travel around the world to preach and spread it, so that other students can learn from one's philosophy of mind. This is a waste of time.
Confucius became a Confucian saint not only because of his knowledge, but also because of his teachings. In addition, the seventy-two sages under his disciples continued to help him organize and promote his Confucianism.
This is very troublesome for Su Fan, and the same is true for Xunzi's way. He has Xiaoshengxianzhuang to help him.
Su Fan didn't.
So Su Fan pretended to be a Confucian elder and just considered it, but in the end he didn't decide.
After all, Confucianism's future is unclear, he is just for luck and merit.
"Then go to a doctor or a farmer"
These two families are also the best for earning human luck and merit.
Not to mention other things, farmers’ food.
Food is the most important thing for the people. In the mythical world, the output of food is no different from that in history. At most, it is only a little bit better.
In terms of water conservancy, Da Qin was very developed. Obviously Da Qin also attached great importance to this. The water conservancy and irrigation systems built there in several major granary areas of Da Qin were all very developed. Compared with later generations, they may not be as good as those in later generations.
But in ancient times, it was the best in the world.
Water conservancy is definitely helpful for food production.
However, without modern scientific seeds, chemical fertilizers, etc., it is impossible to achieve high yields. Farmers may also study it, but without a system, they can only explore the high-yield seeds they catalyze through Qi training.
Obviously he hasn't gone too far.
High yield is out of reach. Even if it is optimized through Qi training, it is obvious that only the first generation of seeds will be available, and the next generation will completely change back to its original appearance.
This has little effect.
So nowadays, food cannot reach high levels.
Ordinary people know what food means. If you have enough food, you can reproduce more offspring. Even a three-year-old child knows this.
The huge population explosion in later generations is undoubtedly not the result of high food production.
Historically, population explosions were caused by the development of food producing areas in various dynasties.
The Qin Dynasty was able to defeat the six countries with the power of one country. In addition to its strong military power, it also had sufficient food because of the fertile Guanzhong area.
Moreover, Shang Yang's agricultural policy focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, which enabled Daqin's agriculture to develop and its grain income to greatly increase.
The population also began to increase.
The importance of agriculture is unquestionable. The Qin army was powerful. In addition to the military merit system, it also had sufficient food, so that the army did not worry about food shortages when fighting. This was difficult for the six countries to achieve.
Then, whether it was Bai Qi or Wang Jian and his son, they used troops to fight with dignity and dignity, using the powerful power of Qin to suppress others.
Keep squeezing the enemy's troops, making them anxious and making them make mistakes, and then find the opportunity to hit with one hit.
The ability to do this is precisely because they have sufficient logistical supplements. Once the logistics cannot keep up and there is an obvious shortage of food, it will be impossible for them to do this.
Logistics involves many aspects, but the most important thing is food.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming actually also played this trick. There is no doubt about Zhuge Kongming's military ability.
Later generations of the Internet often commented that Kong Ming's military capabilities were not as good as those of Zhou Yu and others.
In fact, the reason for this is because of his terrifying internal affairs attributes, but in fact, Kong Ming's military talents are not inferior to his internal affairs abilities at all.
Not to mention in the history of the Three Kingdoms, even among all the dynasties in ancient times, Kong Ming's military ability was at the forefront.
However, Kongming's military ability was more focused on conspiracy and uprightness. There is a saying, "Zhuge was only cautious in his life." Especially in military matters, he was cautious.
In fact, when Kong Ming fought, he rarely used conspiracies and tricks. The art of war and strategies were upright, and conspiracy was the most misunderstood.
The only pity is that in the late Shu Han Dynasty, the military strength was not bad, but the war potential was too low.
The chassis is so small and the population is too small. There are only a few million people. Even if Kong Ming wants to exert his power, he is unable to do anything.
If the Shu Han had the war potential of the Great Qin, they would have unified the world and supported the Han Dynasty long ago.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Kong Ming's military capabilities were truly unrivaled. Every time Kong Ming came out of Qishan, the entire Wei State was actually very shocked and even frightened.
Even Sima Yi actually managed to hold off Shu by completely defending. This can be seen from the fact that Kong Ming left Qishan on the 6th day of the war and Wei never took the lead in attacking.
At that time, Wei's national power must have been several times greater than that of Shu.
Not to mention other things, the population is six to seven times that of Shu, or even more.
But when Kong Ming was there, it was very difficult not to mention attack, but passive defense. In every battle, even if Kong Ming was the attacker, Wei's losses would still be greater.
It can be seen here that Kong Ming's military power was unparalleled.
However, the war potential was too low, leaving Kong Ming helpless.
The population was too small. Even if Kong Ming had full attributes in terms of domestic affairs and agriculture, it would be impossible for Shu to break out.
Some people in later generations also criticized why Kong Ming wanted to constantly attack the Wei State, why couldn't he first develop the foundation of the Shu State?
Obviously this is too low a view.
This is indeed not wrong as the foundation for the development of the Shu Kingdom, and Kong Ming's ability can indeed achieve it. However, the land of Shu only has one state, and even Yizhou is not complete. Although the Kingdom of Shu is a land of abundance, it is a pity that its base is too small.
If Jingzhou had not been lost and had the land of the two states, Shu might have been able to develop first.
But how can it compare with the development of the foundation of Wei State based on the land of a state alone?
If you develop, Wei will not develop. The foundation of Wei is stronger than yours.
