Chapter 37: The Great Master of Confucianism
(Thanks to the crow book friends who gave back for their tips...... )
Liu Shengzhi now has a huge talent gap under his command. Even if you win Guanzhong, the families and talents of Jingzhou and Shudi.
But the talent gap is still incredible.
You must know that what Liu Shengzhi is preparing to rebuild is a strong regime like the Han Dynasty, which has penetrated deep into the township.
It is not the model of the imperial power not going to the countryside after the Ming and Qing dynasties......
Why after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the productivity, national strength, population size and so on far exceeded the Han and Tang dynasties.
But is the ability to mobilize for war getting weaker and weaker?
During the Qin and Han dynasties, hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized for expeditionary campaigns.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, such a battle could be held in a so-so manner in the early stage, and in the later stage, the mobilization of one or two hundred thousand troops would bring down the entire imperial court......
The reason for this lies in the state's control over the grassroots.
The Qin and Han dynasties were able to collect taxes on every common person, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the county order could only be managed in the county seat. Except for the county seat, it is completely black-eyed, and it completely relies on the autonomy of the squire......
The number of officials required for this is naturally very large, and in this era, the spread of knowledge and culture is a coffee table full of tragedies.
There are so many scholars here in Liangzhou, which is an extremely valuable asset for any regime that aspires to long-term peace and stability......
Moreover, there is the power of Confucianism and Taoism......
You must know that this land of Liangzhou is different from later generations, and in this era, it is a place where the Han family population is absolutely dominant. Only when Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty. There are 71,270 households in the four counties of Hexi, with more than 280,000 people.
By the time of Tuoba Tao. He was able to move 30,000 people. This alone can be seen. There are a lot of Han people here.
Throughout the Han Dynasty, the economy and culture of Liangzhou were very developed, and the Liangzhou family was known for Confucianism.
After the Wuhu Rebellion, the entire Central Plains region was full of war and fighting, while the Hexi region was stable and economically rich, which was not only a place of refuge for people from Zhongzhou, but also a place for displaced people to migrate. For more than 100 years, disputes and disturbances are inevitable, but compared with Hebei and Shandong, which have experienced repeated major turmoil, it is slightly better.
Since the Han Dynasty, the Hexi region, especially Dunhuang, has been a place of extremely prosperous culture, and a large number of literati and bachelors have already emerged. The Western Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, and Zhongzhou was disturbed, and from the earliest Zhang Rail out of Muliangzhou, he protected the territory and the people. The establishment of culture and education and the selection of talents have made great contributions to the local cultural development of Liangzhou.
During the Yongjia Rebellion, the doctors of the capital realized it. The world is in chaos, and the country of refuge is only cool. After the Jianxing Rebellion, Sima Bao, the king of Jin, was defeated. More than 10,000 people scattered in Liangzhou.
A large number of scholars from the Central Plains took refuge in Liangzhou, which greatly increased the number of literati and bachelors in Hexi. In the end, in this remote area, it connects the land of the Western Regions. It has preserved the most complete inheritance of culture and Confucianism since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This needs to be done right away, but it is far from enough to govern the world.
Although Jiangzuo also preserves relatively complete cultural etiquette, metaphysics flourishes, and Confucianism and Taoism almost do not exist.
In this era, whether it is Guanzhong or Shandong, although I dare not say that it is a cultural desert, at most it is a few families that have become cultural islands......
How is it possible to rebuild a unified empire without the support of cultural soft power?
More importantly, Liu Shengzhi needs the support of Confucianism.
Anyway, Han Confucianism is the closest thing to religion! It will definitely not be as incompatible with Buddhism as it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
When I was thinking like this, I had already seen a Confucian scholar in his forties with a ruddy face slowly approaching. An indescribable awe-inspiring and solemn momentum has already come to the face.
"It's amazing!" Liu Shengzhi exclaimed slightly, already recognizing that this was the so-called majesty of Confucianism.
But Liu Shengzhi has been in this time and space for so long, and it is the first time that he can really see such Confucian majesty. This is really a Confucian grandmaster-level figure!
Needless to say in an instant, Liu Shengzhi already knew who this person was, walked two steps forward quickly, and saluted first: "After learning at the end of Liu Shengzhi, I have seen Mr. Xuanzhi!"
If Liu Shengzhi recognizes it well, this person should be Liu Xuan. It is also the Liangzhou Confucian master of this generation, and its leader.
Liu Xuanzhi hurriedly flashed, not daring to accept such a big gift from Liu Shengzhi, and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be so polite, the minister does not dare to be it!"
When Liu Shengzhi heard this, he let go of his heart, and the matter was done!
If this Liu Xuanchu is not interested in cooperating, how can he be willing to be a minister?
But he smiled and said: "Mr. Xuanchu is a great master of Confucianism, and he has been admired by the younger generations for a long time!"
That is to say, although I am the son of heaven of the Han family and the head of Taoism, I am also a Confucian.
In Liu Xuan's eyes, there was brilliance. Looking at Liu Shengzhi carefully, he is not very old. But he has always been calm.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart for a while, this son of the Han family behaved so calmly and gently, who knew that he was quite proud in his bones?
Liu Shengzhi knew that as long as a letter came, Li Wei would lead the army to cooperate with all the actions of the Han army.
However, Liu Shengzhi did not do this, but used his own strength to easily defeat Jincheng County and force down Fuqu Mengxun.
This not only shows the strength of the Han army in front of them, but also shows the pride in Liu Shengzhi's bones......
However, then Liu Xuanchu laughed. After a day of confusion, the master of the hegemony who swept away Liuhe, if he didn't even have this bit of domineering, how could he be convinced to follow?
Since Yongjia Nandu, the world has been in turmoil for more than 100 years.
For such a long time, it is doubtful that the world will never be peaceful again. But he would never have thought that the young son of the Han family in front of him would raise his red banner again, and he would have to create a hot sky again!
It's just that the plan of the great god Tude and the king has failed again!
Hmph, it's only three things! Liu Xuanchu sneered in his heart, this great god has failed more than twice.
All the gods and people in the world were robbed, and when luck backfired, the underworld collapsed, and the great god himself fell into a deep sleep.
Since you don't have the ability, you have to replace it!
If the world continues to be so turbulent, the entire Eastern Earth Divine Prefecture will also be in danger! And Confucianism, Taoism, and Taoism are in danger of being cut off!
Thinking of this, Liu Xuanchu couldn't help but bow his head and said: "The minister is a courtier of the Han family, and His Majesty wants to use the minister, but it's just an edict!"
Liu Shengzhi laughed: "Thank you Mr. Xuanchu, since this is the case, I will appoint Mr. Xuanchu as the Taishi, the general of the military division, and follow me." Give me advice and supervise me at all times!" (To be continued.) )
