The eastern caravan
"Ever since I had Teacher Su, I, the emperor, have been much more relaxed!”
"Now, not only is the southern expedition army advancing, but the northern Outlanders have also relaxed their guard against Great Qin and started to fight even more ferociously!”
"As for those pedantic scholars, they are indeed as Mister had expected. They are jumping up and down very actively.”
Looking at the urgent report sent by the Black Ice Platform, and then at the room full of papers and books, which had been rephrased and annotated by Meng Yi and the others, a relaxed smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
Even though Su Han had only joined the eastern convoy for a month or so, the changes he had brought to Great Qin had caused even the First Emperor to feel incredibly shocked.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me!"
"I can only move my mouth!”
"Your Majesty, are you preparing to set off for Linzi?" Su Han said with a smile.”
"According to what Sir said before, everything is ready now. We only need Sir to arrive with the east wind and we can show our strength!”
The First Emperor said confidently.
Su Han smiled and shook his head.
There were simply too few entertainment activities in Great Qin. In his free time, apart from playing cards, Su Han would also explain some stories of the future to the First Emperor and the others. Among them, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was the First Emperor's favorite.
Although Su Han was unable to describe all the details due to his memory, the classics alone were enough to leave a deep impression on the First Emperor.
"It's time to give Great Qin's scholars a better way to study!”
Su Han smiled and nodded. He then said,"The books that Physician Meng and the others have prepared for the upcoming official school are not bad, but they can be improved!”
"Sir, please speak!"
The First Emperor said with anticipation.
"Although these books are classics, they might seem a little profound to new students. It's very difficult to understand the meaning within them!”
"In the future, there are some enlightening books like the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic that are similar to nursery rhymes. I have extracted some from my memory, and the rest will need to be perfected by His Majesty and everyone else!”
"It's best if you can add some content about being loyal to the emperor and loving the country, and being proud of being a Qin person!”
Su Han smiled as he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve.
There were still many benefits to having Lu Zhi in the courtyard. Not only was he very pleasing to the eye, but his literary attainments were also quite high. Su Han only needed to narrate and did not need to personally write.
"At the beginning of life, humans are naturally good…Learn Qin Wen and guard Qin Fa…"
"It's indeed more catchy when read, and the meaning is simple and clear!”
"Meng Qing, I will leave this matter to you. You must complete it before arriving at Linzi and let Mister Su review it before printing it out!”
After carefully reading Su Han's version of the Three Character Classic, the smile on Ying Zheng's face grew wider.
The enlightenment content at the beginning was one thing, but what really surprised Ying Zheng was the sense of identity he had as a Qin citizen.
How could the scholarly faction cause such a huge storm in the world?
It was because the new territories of the six countries had yet to truly acknowledge Great Qin, and they were easily influenced by their local accent, causing them to fear and misunderstand Great Qin.
However, now that Su Han's love for the Qin Empire had spread, the scholars would gradually gain more recognition of Great Qin. With the help of the benevolent government, people would naturally submit to Great Qin.
Once the people of the six states glorified themselves as Qin citizens, the Confucian Sect and the remnants of the six states could forget about stirring up any waves!
This was the foundation for Great Qin's long-term stability.
"Mr. Su, you have a brilliant idea!"
Meng Yi also had a look of admiration.
Although Su Han had previously mentioned to them the importance of teaching the commoners to abide by the law,
However, due to their habitual thinking, Meng Yi and the others still paid more attention to the dignity of the Qin method. They did not expect Su Han to actually give a more perfect idea.
Although he could gain a certain amount of respect by using his power to suppress others, it was also very easy to cause resistance from the people.
On the other hand, Su Han's simple and clear explanation of the benefits of obeying the law and learning Qin Wen was more likely to gain the approval of the people.
"Your Majesty, although the Confucians secretly objected to Teacher Su's proposal of the official assessment and promotion system, it still received the approval of thousands of Confucian scholars!”
"Moreover, the Imperial Court is about to start a new assessment of all the scholars in the world. After the news that the outstanding ones can directly enter the Imperial Court as officials spread, the other schools, such as the Famous School, the Yinyang School, the School of Political Strategy, and the Mohist School, have also actively responded.”
"When the time comes, let these people imitate Xingyang City and go deep into the people to enlighten them. They will definitely be able to gain the support of the people faster!”
Meng Yi muttered to himself for a long time before speaking with an excited expression.
"Mo Family?"
Su Han muttered in his heart, but he quickly understood.
Although they had yet to stop the Hundred Schools of Thought from reigning over Confucianism, under the suppression of Confucianism for many years, the various schools of thought were in a precarious situation.
Under the difficulty of survival, the people of insight in each family were also seeking change or splitting up. In the future Shao Fu, not only were there the craftsmen of the Gongshu family, but there were also a few Qin Mo's disciples.
The news that he had fought for an exception for craftsmen to be able to use their inventions and contributions to exchange for military merits must have spread to the Mohist school, giving some of the branches that wanted to change hope of rising again.
After all, Mozi was not only a great ideologist, but he was also one of the top craftsmen and inventor in history. Many disciples of the Mohist family made a living through their craft.
As expected, a hundred schools of thought contending could promote development more. If one was dominant, it would definitely fall into a state of stagnation or even regress.
Those selfish descendants of the Confucians were definitely the greatest cancer of the Central Plains civilization!
Su Han secretly made up his mind.
After experiencing this period of time, Su Han had fully understood that the ingenuity of Great Qin's craftsmen was definitely not inferior to that of the later generations. Many of the theories of the Hundred Schools of Thought actually contained the initial exploration of natural science.
The real obstacle to the advancement of science and technology was the crazy suppression of other theories after the collusion between the Confucians and the aristocratic families.
When the Mohist and Gongshu families, who were famous for their skills, were forced to struggle on at death's door by the Confucians, who would be willing to learn craftsmanship unless they had no choice?
When most of the promising talents in the world only read a few Confucian classics and history books in their lifetime, it would be strange if technology could develop!
"Very good!"
"This one is looking forward to the trip to Linzi more and more!”
Looking at Su Han, who had ignited his fighting spirit, the First Emperor became even more confident. He was secretly happy.
Mr. Smith,
As expected, there was still a lot of potential to be tapped.
