Chapter 800: Their Times
A country's military strength is at its peak but also has to develop culturally, the military force at its peak will become weak with the changes of time and historical stages, but culture can become a nation's heritage when it is developed, and the country may not be able to last forever, but once the culture is formed, it will be passed on for eternity.
As most of the areas on the land of China have been in his hands, that is, only the Qin land has not yet been included in the rule, and the army is constantly expanding outward, he suddenly realized that the national armed forces are important, but culture cannot be missing.
A country is only strong by force, it will be like a giant with long and short legs, and when stepping forward, the pace is unsteady, and if it lacks the necessary rich culture, there will be a spiritual vacancy, and going hand in hand is the correct way to govern the country.
After realizing that there could be no more than just strong force, Lu Zhe also took out his energy to think about the progress of culture.
The Chinese ethnic group has never lacked artistic talent, and has sufficient background in some cultural research, but compared with the rapid expansion of the country's army, the development of culture has indeed stagnated.
There are many generalizations of culture, including but not limited to poems, lyrics, songs, and fu...... Culture actually refers to the history, geography, customs, traditional customs, way of life, literature and art, behavioral norms, ways of thinking, values, etc. of a country or nation.
Speaking of which, culture is an indispensable spiritual food, which satisfies people's material life at the same time. It is also necessary to have enough entertainment so that people can feel stable and happy.
The most important part of the Chinese civilization and culture is about the governance of culture, and the so-called culture is not the governance of any country. It refers to some literary developments derived from the stability or strength of the country. For example, in addition to the increasingly prosperous life of the people, the innovation and development of "Fu" in the Wenzhi of the Han Dynasty is a part of Wenzhi. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the achievements made in "poetry" and "words" also belonged to a part of Wenzhi.
The richer the culture, the more reflective the country is in some ways whether the country is strong or not, after all, only when the country is not threatened can it have the basis for developing culture, if the country is always threatened, or even oppression or imminent extinction. Who has the heart to think in the direction of pleasure?
Not to mention anything, the Song Dynasty was able to develop such a prosperous culture in the face of the threat of Western Xia and Khitan in the north. Since the Song Dynasty and the "Yuanyuan Alliance", there has been no war at the national war level between Song and Liao except for small frictions on the border, and although there is a threat on the Western Xia side, it can also be resisted. In fact, it is to maintain a relatively stable society.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, that is, once a country or nation encounters the most dangerous moment, there will also be a blowout period of cultural development. However, the culture born in this situation is basically tinged with strong grief and indignation.
The current culture under Lu Zhe is very special. This can be seen in the way people walk on the streets and some of their behavior.
The Han State has a compulsory military system, as long as the age and physique are in line with the training, every summer and winter need to be trained, resulting in the people have a habit of the nature of the army, once there are many people, they will always habitually form a posture of a few people marching in line, as for the number of people, it depends on the number of people in that small circle.
Because of the relationship between martial arts, and also because of the relationship between the compulsory military system and frequent wars, people who are qualified to wear weapons in the Han Kingdom will basically carry weapons with them. In the absence of any kind of administrative order, such as the sword of the literati and the sword of the brave and brave, it became a common practice.
Of course. Nanling City usually does not prohibit carrying weapons around the body, but today is a special day, the administrative provisions that do not carry weapons have been promulgated as early as possible, and no one living in Nanling City will have a hard time with the law, so naturally they will not know that they cannot carry weapons but carry them. And those who came to Nanling from all over the county and township, when they entered the city, their weapons were temporarily collected and kept by the city gate captain, and their belongings would be labeled with a note to prove their belonging, and they would be collected when they left the city.
"That's a sword handed down from my ancestors, I hope it won't be damaged."
"Huh? The ancestral sword, that is, the bronze sword that is completely backward? ”
"What's wrong?"
"What do you think, in addition to the economic value of that sword, who still uses the bronze sword now?"
But isn't it, showing off has to change direction, people who are rich and capable and like to show off, who will show off with a bronze sword now? To show off is to spend a lot of money to buy a new generation of iron weapons, in the iron weapons are not even fully popularized by the military, isn't it more qualified to show off!
At that moment, it was the young man who said that it was the ancestral sword that was kept, and his face was as red as a monkey's ass.
The economy is booming, business is developing rapidly, as long as it is a family with wealth and good brains, who does not catch the trend and buy land in the newly occupied areas, but becoming a landlord is not a very popular thing, and now the most promising thing is to buy relevant technology from the government to start their own workshops or factories.
The government's technology source is the people, as long as someone thinks that their technology is valuable or what innovation, they can go to the local government to apply for technical assessment, the process of this assessment is generally to see the type, the time is not so fast, after all, there is no network connection now, the government staff confirm that the technology has been innovated or completely new, but also to Nanling City to check whether someone is registered, if no one registers will be adopted, into the national large-scale system of dividend projects.
The review of the creation of new technologies is from the modern patent-related schemes, Lu Zhe's original intention is to encourage some people with flexible brains to innovate more, to contribute to the progress of the times, and the extension is that patent inventors can start their own workshops or factories without capital, and can apply for development funds from the state without capital, and they can lease patents or sell them most simply.
Someone has the technology but no money. If someone has the skills, money, or management skills or interests, and for various reasons, a useful invention may be buried, so the state acts and credit are used to create a system of mutual benefit. It still depends on personal wishes.
Isn't it a wonderful thing that a patent inventor can get money from inventions even if he has focused his entire life on them? When it is used, if it is really a talent, even if it is not hired by the state in a certain specialty, some private businesses are hired with high salaries, and even the state and businesses can participate in the form of investment and shares.
The world has always been developing in progress. Lu Zhe hopes to create a country that can develop sustainably, so he has been working hard to manage the necessary environment, hoping that the kind of "uprising", "revolution" and "rebellion" every few years will not happen again.
You can imagine how much work to go is......
What culture to develop. What kind of color does it have, Lu Zhe fell into a state of confusion after thinking about it for a long time.
The development of culture has its foundation, which is what kind of cultural color will be brought out by the environment after the cultivation of time. It's not that you can develop a culture overnight.
What was the atmosphere like in the kingdom under Lü Zhe's rule? Speaking of which, because Lu Zhe has always been moving closer to this direction of militarism. Then the atmosphere is naturally relatively inclined to the category of "martial arts", and the cultural system derived from it is basically related to war or advocating force, and the first phenomenon brought about is the rapid development of the military industry, and people are also more interested in the expansion of the industry.
In fact, in the midst of the cries of expansion and war, a moderate culture cannot be developed, because there is no soil for it.
There was a special background in this particular era, and it was in such a context under the rule of Lü Zhe that the development of culture was naturally closely related to war.
For example, there is a new song. Whether it was written by a celebrity or not, there will be a lot of content about war in the song. Generally, they are looking forward to how far the army can expand, and what kind of benefits the country will bring to the country after occupying a piece of territory, and then improve people's lives.
And because it was the army of Lu Zhe's country that did not encounter any major setbacks after expanding outward, Ge Fu was basically optimistic, almost without the tragic color of "a few people returned to fight in ancient times", and there was no defensive posture similar to "but make Longcheng fly generals, and do not teach Hu Ma to do Yinshan", only an enterprising attitude similar to "Yellow Sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken".
What the social atmosphere brings is an enterprising mentality, and it is in this context that Lu Zhe's interests have been brought into play, and those interests cannot but be said to be full of all kinds of bad tastes, such as some statues that should have appeared in magic novels or film and television works, and the kind of statues that are often dozens of feet high, Lu Zhe directly made them out in reality.
For Lu Zhe is a product of bad taste, but it is of great significance to the whole country, and no one knows that the appearance of that product is the premise of bad taste, only as the ruler of the country, that is, Lu Zhe is to let the civil and military generals who have created a new era with themselves can save in another way. For example, as long as the Lu dynasty did not fall, this generation will be passed on to future generations forever, so that future generations can not only know the name, but also mourn or pay homage according to the statue.
Originally, Lu Zhe was really out of a bad taste, but others didn't see it that way, like a civil and military general who was qualified to be made a statue according to his body appearance, they thought that it was the honor and glory that the object of allegiance gave him that could not be described in words, and indirectly formed a psychology of increasing loyalty.
To tell the truth, their appearance is made into statues, and it is possible that they are placed all over the country, not only are their worth and interests tied to the country, but even their own good name and glory have become one with the country, so how can they not have an unprecedented sense of belonging to the country when they are loyal to the ruler?
Once the national governance class, which is a civil and military general, has a centripetal force, on the premise of not oppressing the common people, the country will achieve unprecedented stability, and the direct guide is to reduce the inducement of turmoil, and it can also be more united with the outside world, and when the time comes, with reasonable propaganda, it is good to rebel? Even if it is a rebellion, how much support can it get from all sides?
Lu Zhe is twenty-eight years old this year, and if nothing else, he can live for at least forty years or more, so that is, the political pattern can be maintained for at least forty years.
The average age of the current Wenchen generals of the Han State is thirty-five years old, and the group of people who can have enough influence on the center, the oldest is the fifty-year-old Kuaitong, Sima Xin is also forty years old, and others such as Gongwei, Xu Zhi, Wei Han, Ji Bu, etc. are basically over thirty-five years old, if nothing else, this group of people should retire when Lu Zhe enters the age of forty, and they will be replaced by a new generation of elites.
The founding emperor of a country has the most power, and the influence of the group of civil ministers and military generals who followed the founding monarch is also the strongest, and the blood of the new generation is injected into the political pattern is bound to change.
The descendants of a certain hero rebelled in the future? Maybe something like that will happen, but it should be that Lu Zhe's descendants are debaucherous to a certain extent, or the ruling family of the Lu family is dying on their own, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for something similar to happen if the ruler was wise. And at that time, in fact, it was no longer something that Lu Zhe could interfere with, and at that time, Lu Zhe's bones could have been drummed a long time ago.
At present, all Lu Zhe can do is to be strict in the education of his children, and at the same time, he must also inject correct values, and he must devote great energy to teaching the selected heirs, and the values of a qiē should actually be cultivated from a young age.
"Dad, it's hot to dress like this."
"Yes, yes, Dad, can you change into something lighter, don't wear clothes like this."
"Can I take it off?"
In the castle tower of Miyagi, a group of formally dressed children are probably choked by the heat, and they are all clamoring to wear cooler clothes, but Chinese etiquette is not a joke, and there have always been strict rules about what kind of clothes should be on what kind of occasion.
More than a dozen children were begging, and Lu Zhe, who was wearing a full set of crown clothes, actually couldn't stand it well, and he was so suffocated that his forehead continued to sweat.
Listening to the sound of the crowd outside, Lu Zhe shook his head very strictly: "Be honest, especially when you appear in the public eye, you can't show the face of the royal family." Got it? ”
Got it? Five or six-year-olds may understand, but what about two- and three-year-olds...... (To be continued......)
