"this……"

"This salt production is different from weaving, but they are both a means of making a living..."

Feng Zheng laughed and said to Chunyu Yue, "Even if Dr. Chunyu knew, it wouldn't be a shame..."

oh……

Not so much...

What am I?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chunyu Yue suddenly had a dark look on his face again.

What do you mean by not being embarrassed?

"Oh, actually it's all a joke..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Private management is management, and the government's management is also management. No one is too embarrassed to take action."

"Yes, what the Marquis of Chang'an said is true."

On the side, after hearing this, Fusu nodded and said, "It is a business method. If the people do it, the court will naturally do it too."

"What the eldest son and the Marquis of Chang'an said is true..."

After hearing what Fu Su and Feng Zheng said, several officials on the side immediately nodded in agreement.

After Chunyu Yue heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he could only nod slightly.

From what he said, it was not that he looked down upon the people and business, but that he had a sense of honor as a member of the scholar-bureaucrat class.

In fact, this is what Zhou Li is all about.

And Confucianism is the continuation of Zhou Rites, which is pretty much the same thing.

Although Confucianism does not praise commerce, it does not overly belittle commerce.

In other words, true Confucianism and Taoism are never truly anti-merchant.

Later Confucianism and Taoism were based on the suppression of private capital and the demand for grain production, which led to excessive suppression of merchants.

In fact, this is not Confucianism, Taoism, or Confucianism, but the rebirth of Legalism with the help of a Confucian shell.

The emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce was first proposed not by Confucianism but by Legalism of Shang Yang.

Focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, making domestic grain production sufficient, suppressing private industry and threats, these are all legalist operations.

For the ruling class, this strategy is a perfect fit for the needs of rule!

Therefore, Qin used the Legalist national policy to strengthen the country and sweep across the world.

History is a cycle. Legalism was abandoned at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but it was only abandoned for seventy years before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty revived it and brought it back.

This thing is a good thing, so naturally you have to find a way to use it all the time.

Of course, what Feng Zheng just said was quite a slap in the face to Chunyu Yue.

After all, this guy insists on etiquette. You also have to take care of the occasion, right?

Foreign missions are coming, so you have to be anxious to show off your Zhou etiquette and expand the influence of Confucianism?

Isn't this nonsense?

"Haha... Dr. Chunyu, this Yueshi is Rong Di!"

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Nowadays, they don't understand the basic business of the Central Plains, and they are even more inadequate. If you make them rush to accept Zhou rites, I'm afraid the effect may not be good! You have forgotten that Qi and Lu were divided and governed.

Qi is strong and Lu is weak, for what reason?"

kindness?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chunyu Yue couldn't help but be stunned.

Qi is strong and Lu is weak. He naturally understands and understands this matter.

Qi's strength seems to be due to the fact that Duke Huan of Qi made the country strong through Guan Zhong's reforms. In fact, Qi has its own foundation for becoming a strong country.

Guan Zhong was able to help Duke Huan of Qi to dominate by relying on Qi's good foundation.

And where did Qi’s good foundation come from at the beginning?

It was after the founding of Jiang Qi that he formulated the national policy of integrating the Yi people, so that the local Dongyi people and the small imperial court of Qi could share the same interests.

Therefore, Qi State can quickly integrate the barbarians and achieve the goal of becoming a strong country.

This is not the case for Lu State. The place where Lu State was established is superior to Qi State in terms of location and size.

However, it did not develop as rapidly as Qi in the future.

That's because the small imperial court of the king of Lu forced the implementation of Zhou rites after arriving in Lu.

The barbarian people from all over the world had to accept this.

But how easy is this?

It’s not like you can really see tangible benefits. If you give benefits, others will be more enthusiastic about learning.

If you force them to learn these things, children will know that learning is painful, let alone a group of adults?

Therefore, the road for Lu to assimilate all directions is difficult!

"Qi was strong and Lu was weak because it controlled the barbarians. Jiang Qi submitted to the barbarians, while Lu was against the barbarians. Therefore, one was strong and the other was weak. Qi became the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the seven heroes in the Warring States Period. However, Lu gradually weakened in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, it was even destroyed by the Chu State.

.”

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Dr. Chunyu naturally knows all of this, right?"

Yes, everyone said what would happen to the Qin State, but the Lu State was destroyed by the Chu State.

Before Qi was destroyed, half of its rivers and mountains were annexed by Chu.

This had nothing to do with Qin in the beginning.

The Qin State destroyed a total of thirteen countries, including the Qiang people, but only seventeen.

Chu State destroyed a total of fifty or sixty countries. This difference is quite huge.

As for the other princes, except for Zhao, Wei and Han, who did not have many countries when the division was born, Qi and Yan also destroyed many princes.

Therefore, why did the world suffer from Qin?

Aren't we all the same people?

It's just that if you destroy other countries, I, Qin, will destroy you.

"Old minister naturally knows this..."

After Chunyu Yue listened, he slowly said, "It's just that now the world has been decided..."

"Alas, Dr. Chunyu is right. Now, the world has been settled..."

Feng Zheng laughed, "It's just that there is more than just one Central Plain in this world..."

kindness?

What?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chunyu Yue was slightly startled, and then said, "Marquis of Chang'an, this is Miao Ye. Since the world is the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is the world, how can the barbarians and Rongdi from all directions be counted?"

"Haha, Dr. Chunyu, if you say so, let's talk about the Central Plains. More than half of the people in Qi are also from Dongyi. Qi originally only had one city. Could it be that, except for a few people, the remaining people are still

Are they barbarians? Except for Linzi, the rest are still barbarians?"

"This, this is naturally not..."

After hearing this, Chunyu Yue hesitated and said, "How can this be the same?"

"Why is this different?"

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "In the early Xia Dynasty, the Central Plains was no more than the land of China on the banks of the river. In the Shang Dynasty, the Central Plains was a thousand-mile radius of Chaoge. It did not enter the Guanzhong, and beyond that, there were all princes.

When the Zhou Dynasty was founded, the Central Plains had just entered the Pass and passed through Haojing. At that time, Qi was still full of barbarians. From the beginning, could it be considered the Central Plains?"

"this……"

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chunyu Yue was silent again.

That's right, according to what Chun Yuyue said, Qi Land was definitely not the Central Plains at the beginning!

The Central Plains was just the seat of the Chinese tribes from the beginning, and its area was not as big as Henan Province now.

After the Shang Dynasty was established after the Xia Dynasty, the scope of the Central Plains administration was not that large. Chaoge was a thousand miles in radius. Later, when Pan Geng moved to Yin, the scope was further east and a little larger, but that was it.

At that time, the area around Haojing where the Zhou tribe was located was not yet the Central Plains!

What's more, it's Qi Di?

Therefore, the scope of the Central Plains is not static.

Not to mention, at this time, basically all the people of the Qin Dynasty did not consider the south of the Yangtze River, and the land south of Lingnan, to be within the scope of the Central Plains civilization.

This is the limitation of the times and the limitation of thought.

Now if someone said that the land of Guanzhong and the land of Qilu were not included in the Central Plains, they would probably be considered a laughing stock!

The geographical scope bounded by civilization has never been static!

Of course, in the same way, the scope of the world and the world is not always static!

The world is more than just the Central Plains?

It is more than just one eighteen provinces of Han Dynasty?

The world is big!

For example, now, the earth is a world, but the world is not the same as the earth.

The world is big!

If you use your previous limitations to limit yourself and blindly exclude others, you are destined to be eliminated.
