The ten strategies, mainly strategies for governing the country, involve a century-old plan and are difficult to achieve in a short period of time.
Liu Xiu also presented papermaking and printing, which are the basis of popular education; then he presented the telescope and the visual telegraph.
Visual telegraphy, which sounds sophisticated, is actually just a matter of ideas and not technically difficult at all - the visual telegraph system invented by the Frenchman Chappé in the 18th century. There are three horizontal bars on the wooden pillars, showing nine numbers, and Use a string of numbers to represent a certain text.
A signaling pole was set up every thirty miles to display different numbers. A soldier used a telescope to observe the numbers displayed on the horizontal pole, recorded them, and then also used the horizontal pole to display the corresponding numbers; thirty miles away in the distance After seeing it with a telescope, the soldiers recorded it and continued to teleport it thirty miles away.
There is no technical difficulty in using telescopes to carry out artificial relay transmission.
The only tools required are transmission rods, telescopes, code books, etc.
It is possible that what happened in Jiangnan was transmitted to Chang'an. If it was transmitted by fast horse, it would take ten days to reach it, but it would only take an hour if it relied on visual telegraphy. The disadvantage is that it is cloudy and rainy, and the visibility is not good, so it cannot be transmitted.
"Sir, you are a great talent!" Fu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the four major technologies, especially the visual telegraph, which had huge advantages, and he immediately wanted to give Liu Xiu an official position.
But Liu Xiu refused.
It takes seven days to complete the test of jade, and another seven years to distinguish the talent!
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, you could only be loyal to one emperor, which was a buyer's market; but now, there are many emperors, and it is a seller's market. Many talents have many choices. As the saying goes, there is no one who can stay here, and there is no place where he can stay. Grandpa, that’s why I stumped grandpa!
"As for steelmaking, explosives, hot air balloons, etc., the impact is too great, so we should save it!"
When leaving, Liu Xiu couldn't help but think of it.
In this era, iron-making technology was poor, mainly pig iron, and steel production was limited. War armor was mainly leather armor, mainly rattan armor, and iron armor was scarce. Iron armor was also mainly fish scale armor, with limited defense. Among the army, only A few elite troops have armor, but most troops have no armor.
He has steel-making technology and can refine steel on a large scale, making the price of steel as low as possible. He can make hundreds of thousands of troops wear plate armor, which greatly increases the defense power and is extremely light.
As for explosives, the so-called black powder is nothing at all. The so-called picric acid, nitric acid cotton explosives, TNT explosives, etc. can also be manufactured. Due to insufficient industrial technology, the manufacturing cost may be higher, and the quality may be inferior to the power. There are a lot of them, enough to blow through any city wall.
When steelmaking and gunpowder skills are mature, field artillery can be produced to kill cavalry one by one and break through the enemy's infantry formation.
It can also create hot air balloons, airships, etc., and can form air force bombing units and air force transport teams. Just imagine, the air force stands on the hot air balloon, drops explosive packets, bombards the enemy's formation, or bombards the defenders in the city. The army is so powerful.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, which limited the radius of the army's attack. However, airships can transport tens or hundreds of tons of grain at a speed that exceeds the transportation of carriages and horses. The impact on war can be said to be extremely huge.
The technical difficulty in manufacturing hot air balloons, airships, etc. is almost zero, and there is not much technical difficulty.
However, Liu Xiu does not plan to launch these technologies. The harm is too great, so he should hold back!
…………
In the room, Fu Jian looked uncertain, ranging from surprise to horror.
At this time, the screen opened and Wang Meng came out and coughed: "Your Majesty, I am satisfied!"
"Very satisfied!" Fu Jian said, "It's just that he is too arrogant!"
"You are not afraid of being arrogant, but you are afraid of incompetence." Wang Meng said: "People's hearts are confused, which is the root cause of the turmoil in the world. The ten strategies he mentioned are a century-old plan that will take a hundred years. Don't be impatient. Once you become impatient, the situation will collapse.
!”
Fu Jian asked: "Which of the ten strategies should I start with?"
Wang Meng said: "Establish the system of three provinces and six ministries and consolidate the foundation of Guanzhong!"
A king and a prime minister started talking again, talking about specific implementation strategies.
"Then why did he refuse to join Qin as an official?" At the end, Fu Jian asked.
Wang Meng said: "The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. He is not optimistic about our Qin Dynasty. He thinks that our Qin Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Qin Shihuang. Even if the Jin Dynasty is destroyed and the world is unified, the national destiny will not last more than fifty years.
Might die in the second generation!”
…………
He entered Guanzhong but did not join the Qin State.
Liu Xiu was observing, observing Qin, and observing Fu Jian.
Historically, Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Feishui. The originally surrendered Qiang, Xianbei and others raised their troops one after another and attacked the former Qin Dynasty. After ten years of persistence, the former Qin Dynasty was destroyed.
But Liu Xiu felt that even if Fu Jian won the Battle of Feishui, defeated the Jin Dynasty, and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, he could not change his fate. The bigger the territory, the better. The key is to control the ability, and the ability to control depends on
It depends on traffic conditions, communication conditions, and bureaucratic execution capabilities.
In the Pre-Qin era, transportation and communication were inconvenient, and there was a shortage of officials. As a result, the Pre-Qin Dynasty seemed to have unified the north, with strong power and numerous troops. However, in fact, it only really controlled the Guanzhong area. As for other areas
, which is equivalent to the post-contract method, contracting to the Qiang, Di, Xianbei, and even Han gentry.
As long as there is no rebellion in the local area and soldiers and food are delivered on time, the local area will be managed by them.
This kind of governance model made the rule of the former Qin superficial, and its foundation was not solid. If it continued to win, all parties might surrender; but as long as there was a big defeat, the whole world would rebel.
Liu Xiu was observing Guanzhong, observing Fu Jian... but Fu Jian seemed to have forgotten him, or Fu Jian was very busy and had no time to pay attention to him. Liu Xiu also forgot about the occupation of the imperial master and started to wander around.
, admiring the mountains and rivers of Guanzhong.
After walking, Liu Xiu climbed up Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhongnan Mountain was the dojo of the Quanzhen Sect in later generations, but in today's era, there are many temples on Zhongnan Mountain. Temples stand there one after another, becoming a unique scenery in Guanzhong. Looking at each temple, Liu Xiu's heart moved.
He couldn't help but think of destroying the Buddha.
"Three Wus exterminate Buddha" refers to the collective name of the three events in which Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty exterminated the Buddha, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty exterminated the Buddha, and Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty exterminated the Buddha. The posthumous names or temple names of these reigning holders all have the word "武". If you add
The extermination of Buddha during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty was collectively called "Three Martial Arts and One Sect to Exterminate Buddha".
Just for a moment, Liu Xiu stopped thinking.
Taoism belongs to emperors and nobles; Confucianism belongs to scholars and gentry; but temples belong to common people and mortals.
Studying to become an official is too far away from the common people; as for ascending to immortality, it is also far away from the common people. Only temples are very close to the common people. People cannot live without spiritual food. Without it, life will be very painful. In other words, those scholars
, Those noble people want to be rich and powerful, but the common people just want to live, further, live happily!
It is easy to destroy the Buddha statues in the temple, but it is difficult to destroy the Buddha in the hearts of the people!
Buddhism can only be reformed but cannot be destroyed.
In a daze, Liu Xiu was walking among the mountains and saw a nunnery with four words written on it: "Cihang Jingzhai!"
