Chapter 285: The Fall of the Hundred Schools (2 in 1)
It's time for the next day.
Zhang San used the plane in his hand to push and pull the wood that was fixed in front of him.
Following his movements, many shavings rolled out of the plane and fell to the ground.
Compared to his lack of proficiency yesterday, when he started doing this again today, he became much more proficient.
The speed has improved not just a little bit!
Ask him to make a wooden ox or a stray horse by himself. He really doesn't have the ability.
However, it is not a problem to only be responsible for smoothing the legs at the bottom of the wooden cow that has been processed by others.
After all, it doesn't require much knowledge.
Even the dumbest person can master this simple thing after a lot of practice.
And, you can become more and more proficient!
…
Time has arrived in the evening again.
The sunset covered the western sky, covering everything in the world with a layer of orange.
Plated with brilliance.
It indicates that the weather will be good tomorrow.
"One, two, three or four, five, six, seven or eight..."
Because he was the first to take over Uncle Liu's drawings and was the first to make wooden cows and flowing horses, Zhao Gang, whose status was greatly improved, counted the number of cars under the glow of the glow.
After a lot of inspection, Zhao Gang finally confirmed that these eighty-nine wooden ox and stray horses were made today.
He looked at these and kept saying this in his mouth.
Other than saying that he is a god, he is really a god, I won’t say anything else.
Recalling that last night, after he saw only thirteen wooden oxen and stray horses, he had the idea of going to find the emperor's uncle, tell the emperor's uncle about this matter, and let the emperor's uncle give up the assembly line work, Zhao Gang felt in his heart.
There is a fever on the face.
So ashamed.
I am really short-sighted and should not doubt the method given by the emperor!
Then, deep joy arose in my heart.
Fortunately, I decided to wait for some time before going to the emperor's uncle to talk about this matter.
Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing!
…
Zhao Gang still couldn't hold back and went to find Liu Cheng.
But what he said was completely different from what he said before.
"Uncle Emperor, it's amazing! It's amazing!
Today, I actually made eighty-nine wooden oxen and stray horses...
Zhao Gang really admires him!!"
After passing the report from Liu Cheng's personal guard, Zhao Gang met Liu Cheng and said this to Liu Cheng, feeling extremely excited and respectful.
"Uncle Emperor, this, this assembly line workmanship, Mo, could it be that the turtle came out to deliver it to you, Uncle Emperor?"
Looking at the 'Political Commissar Zhao' in front of him, Liu Cheng couldn't help but sniff secretly.
This guy, who seems to be a very serious person, why does he always like to think about such weird places?
He immediately shook his head: "No, the assembly line work method was already in existence during the Qin Dynasty.
It has been at least more than four hundred years since now!"
When Zhao Gang heard this, his heart was filled with shock.
He really couldn't believe that such a useful method had appeared hundreds of years ago!
If it had appeared hundreds of years ago, why has such an extremely useful method disappeared without a trace in this era?
Never heard of its existence at all.
Zhao Gang asked Liu Cheng for advice.
Hearing this, Liu Cheng sighed and said, "It's just that later on, the Qin Dynasty fell so quickly that many craftsmen were implicated.
The wars in the late Qin Dynasty destroyed too many things.
Many brilliant things have disappeared.
It became a swan song.
In particular, King Xiang raised his troops, entered the pass, burned Afang, and destroyed the imperial mausoleum...
However, hundreds of schools of thought have existed for such a long time, and they all have their own means of preserving life.
After the war in the late Qin Dynasty, many things and many schools survived.
Another catastrophe occurred during the period of Emperor Wu, who deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.
Confucianism is the only one who is respected, and all other schools of thought are not valued.
At that time, Liu An, the king of Huainan, was the uncle of Emperor Wu and the grandson of Emperor Gaozu.
Knowing that Emperor Wu had no heirs, I had some ideas in my mind
The deposed scholars were naturally unwilling to accept the decision, and most of them gathered in front of Huainan King Liu An, calling for friends.
Prepare to assist Liu An, conquer the world, and then rely on imperial power to grow again...
As a result, the scholar raised an army but failed to do so in three years.
Liu An later committed suicide out of fear.
The hundreds of schools of thought surrounding him also suffered a catastrophe once again!
This is the last backbone of all schools of thought.
Since then, all schools of thought have completely failed to recover...
This is true for all schools of thought. It is extremely normal that the assembly line workmanship method proposed by Mohism will disappear...
It was only by chance that I found out about this method.
Now when I take it out and use it, it’s really extraordinary!”
What Liu Cheng said was not nonsense.
The assembly line that is known to later generations was introduced from foreign countries.
Many people feel that this thing itself was invented first by foreign countries.
Actually it is not.
As early as the Qin Dynasty, the Shaofu, dominated by the Mohist family, had already adopted this method to manufacture weapons such as bows and crossbows.
Create a large number of sophisticated weapons for Qin's army...
However, after a series of events, this good recipe disappeared in the long river of history with the decline of various schools of thought...
Zhao Gang's heart was shaken by Liu Cheng's words.
I am fascinated by it...
"I never thought that this assembly line workmanship method has such a history..."
He saluted Liu Cheng respectfully.
In fact, not only him, but also Zhao Yun, who was not far away, also heard the words in his eyes.
I feel yearned for the glory of a hundred schools of thought, and feel sad for the decline of a hundred schools of thought...
"My lord, this, is it right for Emperor Wu to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism?
It is a pity that hundreds of schools of thought, knowing so many practical things, have declined like that!"
After Zhao Gang left Liu Cheng, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask Liu Cheng something that had been tumbling in his heart for a long time.
Liu Cheng recalled the history he knew and said, "There is no absolute right or wrong in anything.
Whether it is right or wrong requires thinking and looking at it from many aspects.
Why did Emperor Wu adopt the policy of deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism?
It's because the era of Emperor Wu was different from the previous ones.
The territory we face is larger and the situation is more complex.
The Huang-Lao theory practiced before can no longer adapt to the times.
Emperor Wu needed a unified idea to achieve and maintain great unification.
It was at this time that Dong Zhongshu proposed Confucian ideological theories such as the Great Unification and presented them to Emperor Wu...
Dong Zhongshu's move was not only for the sake of the country, but also to carry forward Confucianism.
He strengthened the imperial power, but was afraid that the imperial power would be too great.
Therefore, he wanted to put a shackle on the imperial power through the induction of heaven and man.
However, the emperor he met was a man of great talent and strategy like Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu accepted the unification of these.
As for the shackles he made for Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu threw them aside.
He even went so far as to trap him directly...
Looking forward from now on, it will be of great benefit to only respect Confucianism.
In this case, people's thoughts will be relatively unified.
The sense of identification with the country is very high.
The reason why I, a big man, am a big man, and the reason why I can survive many hardships and still exist, is closely related to my exclusive respect for Confucianism and the realization of ideological unity.
This influence is not only in the past, but also in the present.
In the future, it will also have a profound impact.
It can make our nation, after suffering many hardships, reborn from the ashes and stay newer for a long time!
However, it also has many disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that many extremely useful things have disappeared.
It greatly inhibited the development of medical skills, craftsmanship and many other things.
Moreover, because one family has been dominant for a long time without external competition and threats, Confucianism will also become complacent and self-contained from its previous enterprising spirit...
Almost nothing in the world is perfect, most of them are good and bad.
The method adopted by Emperor Wu to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism, in my opinion, has more advantages than disadvantages.
Because this is very useful in maintaining the country's unity and enhancing the people's sense of identity.
As for the craftsmanship and medical skills that have been slow to develop due to the elimination of hundreds of schools of thought, we can make some efforts to develop them ourselves...
These are some of my private opinions, Zilong just listens to them..."
After Liu Cheng talked to Zhao Yun for a long time, he saw that Zhao Yun was listening seriously and had a look of surprise on his face from time to time, so he smiled and said to Zhao Yun.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun raised his hands to Liu Cheng and said with great respect:
"What my lord said is shocking and enlightening. It is not like some scholars who quote scriptures and allusions. The words are extremely complicated and confusing, making people unable to understand.
But he explained things very clearly.
His views are also extremely unique and his views are different from others...
Zhao Yun felt that he had benefited a lot from what his lord said..."
…
"Uncle Huang, Zhen, Zhen, is a man of God!!"
Here in Feng Yi County, in a courtyard, the very young Ma Jun stammered.
The stuttering voice was filled with admiration.
The face stained with ink was also full of admiration and emotion.
In front of him, there was a wooden board that was completely dyed black with ink.
There are many handwritings engraved on the wooden board.
Ma Jun's hand, which was also stained by ink, was holding a piece of paper.
This paper is also stained with ink.
However, a lot of words can be seen from this paper which is covered with ink stains.
Moreover, there are a lot of words, and the handwriting is very clear!
Recalling the ingenious ideas written in the letter written by the emperor's uncle to him, and looking at the printing technique that had just begun to appear in front of him, Ma Jun couldn't help but shine in his eyes!
I couldn’t help but praise the emperor’s uncle for his wisdom!
Yes, many people think copying books is slow.
However, no one thought of taking some measures to change this situation.
Printing this kind of thing is not without purpose.
Seals have already appeared and are extremely common.
As a result, until now, no one has thought about making a large seal, engraving the required large amount of copied content on it, and then printing it...
If the emperor's uncle hadn't sent him a letter, giving him some advice and asking him to start doing this, he would have turned a blind eye to it...
Even though it had been nearly ten days since he got the letter from the Emperor's uncle, Ma Jun still couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for Uncle Liu every time he thought of it!
Just when Ma Jun was doing his best to study experimental printing here, someone came over in a panic!
"Something big has happened! There are rumors in Chang'an. It is said that the plank road will be burned for 300 miles, and the middle of Sichuan will become a cave of its own!"
The visitor hurriedly said this to Ma Jun.
"What?!"
When Ma Jun heard this, he immediately exclaimed and couldn't sit still!
