Chapter 416 After the sages, it's ridiculous
Xue County, Lu County.
As the former capital of the State of Lu and the hometown of the Yellow Emperor and the Confucian sages, Lu County is definitely an outstanding place.
Moreover, the geographical location of Lu County is also very good. It is connected to Surabaya in the east and Mount Tai in the north. It has always been an important place for transportation.
It stands to reason that taking advantage of the extremely prosperous business development in Daqin, Lu County, which has many convenient conditions, should be very developed.
However, in fact, not only has Lu County not developed much in the past few years, but with the continuous take-off of the surrounding counties and counties, it seems to have regressed, and the people can only go out but not in, and there are fewer and fewer people.
And the reason is actually very simple.
That is the land of the entire Lu County. Overtly and secretly, at least [-]% of it is controlled by the only wealthy Confucian family in the entire Lu County.
The rest are just tenant farmers or long-term laborers of the Confucian Mansion.
All the shops that can be seen in the city of Lu County are from the Confucian family.
Merchants from other places, if they develop a little bit, they will soon encounter all kinds of accidents and have to admit that they are desperate and leave.
Although the local prefecture and county officials were very dissatisfied with this, they had no choice but to have too much influence of Confucianism in Xue County.
In the entire Xue County, there are at least [-] Confucian disciples. Every time the government makes a move, it will be heard by the Confucian government before it even starts.
In anger, the county guard simply moved the county government out, focusing on the development of other areas.
And the thoughtful people, under the preferential policies given by the county, migrated out one after another. The rest of Lu County are almost all diehards of the Confucian Mansion.
But at this moment, in the Confucian mansion that stretches for several miles along the entire Qufu building, Kong Xun is staring at the heads of the ancestors of the past in a daze, and his heart is full of depression.
As the ninth grandson of Confucius, Kong Xun felt that he must be the most unlucky and most aggrieved one among the previous patriarchs.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism, as the most prominent school, was famous in the courts of all countries, and no matter where it went, it was regarded as a guest of honor by the king.
Confucian disciples have extremely prominent positions in all countries.
No matter how the dynasties and countries change, the power of Confucianism and Confucianism will not be reduced, and will even be continuously strengthened.
The reason is very simple. After the chaos, if you want to settle down, you still need civil servants to govern, and the Confucianism, which has hundreds of thousands of literate disciples and has great influence in the entire Central Plains, is undoubtedly the most hopeful target for the new monarch.
In the past, the state of Lu was destroyed by the state of Chu. The king of Chu personally visited the Confucian mansion, and the local county was renamed Lu County, which was a proof of that.
However, Kong Xun never imagined that he had just happily taken over as Patriarch when he received an astonishing news.
That is, Great Qin, which was regarded as a barbaric land and a barbaric country by Confucianism in the past, unexpectedly produced a monarch as majestic and strategic as Yingzheng. In just ten years, he wiped out the other six countries one after another, completing the history. The great achievement of being the first to unify the Central Plains, established the Great Qin Empire.
What's even more exasperating is that Daqin paid more attention to Legalism, which was regarded as a traitor by Confucianism and broke away from Confucianism, but was extremely at odds with Confucianism.
Therefore, after the Great Qin destroyed the Chu State, the privileges of the Confucian Mansion were also revoked by the First Emperor.
Feeling threatened, the Confucian Mansion contacted many well-known Confucian scholars and dignitaries from the six countries, and formed an alliance with Wang Wan, the former prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, to jointly advocate the enfeoffment system in the Xianyang court.
The reason is very simple. Only by implementing the enfeoffment system, the Confucian Mansion's Lu County fiefdom can continue and have the opportunity to expand further.
As a result, Emperor Shihuang was under tremendous pressure to implement the prefecture system proposed by Li Si, and all the fiefdoms of the Confucian Mansion were also cancelled.
From then on, the Confucian Mansion became feud with the Daqin imperial family. Relying on their huge savings, they began to support the dignitaries of the Six Kingdoms in an attempt to restore the Six Kingdoms and regain the former glory of the Confucian Mansion.
They had already seen the hope of success.
After all, although the first emperor made them extremely afraid, the sons of Daqin did not inherit the slightest bit of the first emperor.
The eldest son, Fusu, was successfully brainwashed by their Confucianism, and also advocated the implementation of the enfeoffment system.
As for the other sons, they are not worth mentioning at all, and they are not a threat at all.
No matter who inherits the throne of Great Qin, he either accepts Confucianism's ideas, or cannot control the situation of Great Qin at all. As long as Great Qin falls apart, Confucianism and Confucianism can take the opportunity to rise again, even surpassing the past.
After all, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, in order to win over Zikong Mansion, the head of the Confucian school, offered extremely generous conditions.
The highest ones, even hereditary princes, rule the world together!
Confucianism and Confucianism just need to wait for the world to be in chaos, to become the final victor, and share the world.
There are hundreds of thousands of Confucian disciples who account for more than [-]% of the world's scholars, and they are the biggest reliance of their Confucian family.
No matter who it is, after conquering the world and wanting to govern with peace of mind, Confucianism cannot be avoided.
Didn't you see how many jokes were made when the first emperor of Qin didn't believe in Confucianism and appointed those reckless men who were promoted through the military merit system?
Moreover, in many counties and counties, the situation was once again controlled by Confucian middle and low-level officials, and the county guards were directly emptied.
The situation can be said to be very good.
However, no one expected that Gong Ziyu, who had been insane for ten years, would suddenly rise.
Not only did he single-handedly rescue him, but he led the Daqin Iron Cavalry to directly destroy the Xiongnu who had threatened the Central Plains for hundreds of years. The first battle shocked the world.
Surprised by Emperor Shi Huang, he also canonized Ying Yu as the crown prince.
Originally, the Confucianists wanted to win over the sudden rise of the Sixth Young Master, but they never expected that the sudden rise of the Great Qin Young Master gave the Confucian House and the Confucian School the most ruthless blows.
The first thing Gong Ziyu did when he became the prince was to release the Tweet Order!
What followed was the vigorous promotion of compulsory education, which directly dug the foundation of Confucianism!
Under the free official education, Daqin added tens of millions of literate people, hundreds of thousands of Confucian disciples, and instantly fell from the aloof cultural people to the altar.
Especially in the Confucianism sect, there were already many factions. Many disciples were tired of the internal competition of the Confucianism sect, and instead were influenced by Ying Yu to concentrate on teaching and educating people.
A series of heavy punches directly hit Kong Xun, who was not young, so dumbfounded that he couldn't parry at all.
Later, the way of science and engineering promoted by Ying Yu was even more unacceptable to Kong Kui, who was holding a collection of scriptures and history.
Reluctantly, Ying Yu is really amazing. The craftsman scientifically researched and produced a lot of results, even Feitian did it.
At that time, the rotten scholars who questioned Feitian's delusion directly became the laughing stock of the whole Daqin.
Confucianism and Confucianism also had to keep a low profile.
Until this time, in Kong Xun's view, the best chance to come back.
In his opinion, the steam engine described in "Daqin Daily" cannot be built at all!
Even so, there was still a trace of anxiety on Kong Xun's face at the moment.
After all, today's Confucianism is different from the past, and he would be risking a great deal to openly oppose the current prince.
It was not until after receiving the letter from Xianyang City that Kong Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
